Just when the Eastern Route Army of the Song Army began to launch an attack on the Yanzhou area, the middle route of the Song Army, under the command of Yang Yan, also divided the troops into three routes and launched an attack on Wuzhong, Lingwu, and Yongzhou in the defense line of the Western Xia Army.

At this time, the Western Xia Yijing gathered nearly 170,000 troops on the defense line along the Yellow River, but among the seven strongholds, the main cities of Jingzhou, Yongzhou, and Huaizhou were on the west bank of the Yellow River, and there was no city wall in the gorge, so they could only stand up to defend and become the main target of the Song army's attack, so each of these four settlements had 25,000 defenders, while Wu Zhong and Lingwuyun had cities to defend on the east bank of the Yellow River, each with 15,000 defenders, and the Xiangqing army had 50,000 defenders, so that they could support their places at any time.

Since he was assigned to Yongzhou, he knew that there was no city to defend here, and the Song army might use this as a breakthrough, so he dug trenches and mounds, cut down trees and fences to build many fortifications, and gathered to prepare to meet the Song army. On this day, Wang Zhonghui, a general under Ren Dejing, led 20,000 Lingzhou troops to attack Yongzhou.

After Wei Mu Yanping learned about it, he didn't feel a little strange why Ren Dejing's generals led the army to attack him, instead of the Song army. But if you think about it carefully, it is also reasonable, now the Song army has a total of only 70,000 or 80,000 people, and it is divided into three ways to advance the defense line of the Western Xia army, and the strength is definitely insufficient, so it can only mobilize Ren Dejing's men and horses to make up the number. From this point of view, his own side will definitely not be the main offensive side of the Song army, and sending Ren Dejing's men and horses to attack Yongzhou is just involving himself and not allowing himself to help other places.

As long as it's not the Song army, it's easy to do, and Wei Mu Yanping doesn't care about the people and horses who are respectful, not to mention that there are not more people than himself, so Wei Mu Yanping decided to go out of the village to meet the battle and give Wang Zhonghui a head-on blow. And only after defeating Wang Zhonghui's men and horses, he was able to free up his hands to rescue other places that were attacked by the Song army.

So Wei Mu Yanping led 20,000 horses out of the village, and after walking only three or four miles, he met the enemy. Wei Muyanping recognized the leader at a glance, and it was indeed Wang Zhonghui, and several deputy generals around him also knew him. Because they both belonged to the Western Xia army in the past, they had all met each other, so it was very easy to identify.

Seeing that it was really the Lingzhou army, Wei Muyanping was completely relieved, and immediately ordered the whole army to attack and attack the enemy. As soon as Wang Zhonghui saw that Wei Muyanping took the initiative to lead the army to meet the attack, he immediately led the army to meet the battle, and the two sides started a big battle.

The number of the two armies is basically equal, both are about 20,000, and they also belong to the same Western Xia army, the level of training, the quality of the soldiers, and the overall combat effectiveness are also roughly the same, and they are also very familiar with each other, so they are equal for a while, and they are evenly matched.

After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, both sides lost more than 2,000 people, but the battle situation was still stalemate, and neither of them had the slightest upper hand. But Wei Muyanping gradually couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart.

Although Wei Mu Yanping was only a middle-level military general in the Western Xia Dynasty, he was born in a traditional aristocratic family in the party, and he instinctively had a contempt and prejudice for outsiders like Ren Dejing. Because he was even more dissatisfied with Ren Dejing's reliance on his daughter, serving as the prime minister, and once controlling the politics of the Western Xia Dynasty. Moreover, Wei Mu Yanping was not very proficient in politics, and did not understand that the Song Dynasty's attack on Western Xia was actually the result of a game between major powers. Instead, he believes that all these sins were caused by Ren Dejing, and it was Ren Dejing's collusion with the Song Dynasty that attracted the Song army to attack Western Xia. Therefore, Ren Dejing is not only dissatisfied, but also hated bitterly.

After the great war two years ago, the strong combat effectiveness of the Song army left a deep impression on Wei Mu Yanping, so he had no confidence in fighting the Song army, but he did not have this psychological barrier to Ren Dejing's Lingzhou army, on the contrary, there was a contemptuous attitude. Seeing that after fighting for a long time, he still can't defeat Ren Dejing's army, can he not be in a hurry?

Therefore, Wei Mu Yanping waved the spear in his hand and led his more than 1,000 guards to the battlefield.

Wei Mu Yanping is in the prime of life, known for his bravery, swinging his spear, stabbing down several soldiers of the Lingzhou army in a row, and more than a thousand guards behind him are the most elite men and horses in the Western Xia army stationed in Yongzhou, under the leadership of Wei Mu Yanping, the soldiers each raised their swords and guns and rushed violently, and suddenly entered the formation of the Lingzhou army. When the other Western Xia troops saw that the main general was personally in battle, their morale was greatly boosted, and they fought harder.

And the Lingzhou army's fighting spirit was not as high as the Western Xia army, so under the onslaught of the Western Xia army, it couldn't help but be a little bold, and the position gradually loosened a little.

When Wang Zhonghui saw it, he couldn't help but be a little nervous, he also knew that Wei Mu Yanping was a brave general, so he hurriedly ordered the deputy general Liu Ji to lead the army to attack to block Wei Mu Yanping's advance. In fact, Liu Ji also knew Wei Mu Yanping's bravery, but the main general gave an order, so he couldn't help but listen, so he had to lead the army into the battlefield and block Wei Mu Yanping's way.

Wei Muyanping didn't speak, his eyes were wide open, his legs were slammed into the horse's belly, and his hands twisted the gun, straight towards Liu Ji.

And Liu Ji was already a little disheartened, seeing that he was coming fiercely, he dared to fight there, and he was about to flee when he was urged by Wei Mu Yanping to catch up with the horse and stabbed off the horse with a shot.

Seeing that the main general had killed the opponent's general, the fighting spirit of the Western Xia army was even stronger, and the rushing and killing were more courageous, only killing the corpses of the Lingzhou army all over the field. The momentum of the Lingzhou army was frustrated, and it was immediately killed and retreated, and gradually lost its support.

As soon as Wang Zhonghui saw that his men and horses were defeated by the Western Xia army, he did not dare to fight any longer, and immediately led a retreat. When Wei Mu Yanping saw the defeat of the enemy army, he couldn't help but be very proud, and immediately ordered a pursuit. So the Western Xia army chased the rear team of the Lingzhou army, followed and covered the killing, and killed many Lingzhou troops.

But after chasing less than ten miles, two teams of men and horses suddenly appeared in the woods on the left and right, all under the banner of the word "Song", both of them were white-robed cavalry troops, and killed the two ribs of the Western Xia army. Before the centaurs could make contact, a dense row of arrows came in. The Western Xia army was caught off guard and was shot down in a large row at once. Wei Muyanping was shocked, and then he realized that the Lingzhou army was just luring the enemy, and the Song army was ambushing a group of men and horses here, and when the Western Xia army chased after it, he killed it from both sides of the Western Xia army.

It was the Ma Jun Si Xiao cavalry who was ambushed here, and the commander of Wei Jiao was ordered by Yang Yan to ambush here. Because Yang Yan had already expected that if the Song army was directly sent to fight, the Western Xia army would not dare to meet the battle, so he first sent the Lingzhou army to lure the enemy and lead the Western Xia army to battle, and after the Western Xia army chased a certain distance, the Song army would break the Western Xia army in one fell swoop.

At this time, because the Western Xia army was pursuing the Lingzhou army, the whole team was drawn into a longitudinal line, and the two wedges were protected, which was the weakest link of the whole army. Wei Mu Yanping saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly ordered a retreat, but at this time, it was too late, and the cavalry of the Song army had already killed the front.

Wei Jiao waved the big knife in his hand and shouted, "Brothers, rush." As he spoke, Wei Jiao's legs clamped the horse's belly tightly and entered the Western Xia army, the sword flashed, and two canopies of blood spurted out like springs, and the heads of the two Western Xia soldiers flew into the air. Wei Jiao's knife was endless, and a long-handled broadsword danced out of a cold light, slashing left and right, and killing seven or eight Western Xia soldiers in a row.

The cavalry of the Song army also entered the battle group, the war horses galloped past, spears stabbed out, sabers waved, bringing out pieces of blood, and the soldiers of the Western Xia army fell to the ground one by one and died. On the other side, Wu Kuang also commanded the Song army, divided into several ways, and rushed to kill the formation of the Western Xia army. The Western Xia army was cut off by the Song army at once and divided into two sections

In fact, the Xiao cavalry army only had 7,000 cavalry troops, while the number of the Western Xia army was close to 20,000, and the cavalry army also had nearly 10,000 people. It's just that the Western Xia army originally had a deep fear of the Song army, and at this time, it was attacked by the Song army, and everyone was panicked and had no intention of fighting. Some people turned around and ran back, but some people still moved forward, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Western Xia army was divided into several sections by the Song army, and the ranks were also in chaos.

At this time, the fleeing Lingzhou army was also killed under the leadership of Wang Zhonghui, and the Western Xia army was attacked by the Song army and the Lingzhou army on three sides, and was killed and defeated. The soldiers did not care about the generals, and the generals did not care about the soldiers, and they fell into a melee. The Western Xia army, surrounded by the Song army, ran around, looking for a way to escape, while those who were lucky not to be surrounded threw down their weapons and fled in all directions.

When Wei Mu Yanping saw it, he also knew that the general trend had gone, and at this time, there were more than 800 guards around him, so he had to lead them and turn around to kill, hoping to break out of the encirclement and escape back to Dazhai. It's just that when he was chasing the Lingzhou army just now, Wei Mu Yanping rushed to the front, and then turned around and wanted to kill back, and for a while, he could kill there, and most of the people who blocked the way were the defeated army of Western Xia who were killed by the Song army, and Wei Mu Yanping was almost unable to move an inch.

Wei Mu Yanping originally wanted to gather the defeated army, reorganize the team, and work together to fight his way out of the encirclement, but now the Western Xia soldiers are running around on the battlefield like a group of headless flies, no matter how Wei Mu Yanping scolds, no one cares about listening to him. Wei Muyanping was furious and killed three Western Xia soldiers in a row, but to no avail.

Seeing left and right, he hurriedly came up to dissuade Wei Mu Yanping. At this time, the men and horses of Lingzhou also killed from behind, and Wei Muyanping had no choice but to throw down the army, cut a gap from the left, and fled back to the village.

On the battlefield, a part of the Western Xia army broke out of the siege and also fled to Dazhai. But most of the Western Xia troops could not escape. After the Lingzhou army attacked, they shouted loudly on the battlefield: "Surrender, surrender and avoid death." When the Western Xia soldiers heard the persuasion to surrender, they all laid down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender.

Wei Jiao immediately ordered the Song army not to pursue the defeated army of Western Xia, but to clean up sporadic battles on the battlefield, and ordered Wang Zhonghui to lead the Western Xia army to collect the surrendered army and clean up the battlefield.
