The Black Mountain Fuwei Military Division is located in Wurahai City on the northeast border of Western Xia, and it borders the Kereh Department of the original grassland more than 50 miles to the north.

In the era of strife on the steppe, the tribesmen of the Kereh and Naiban tribes would often cross the border and come to the territory of Western Xia to plunder their wealth and population. The main defense energy of Western Xia was focused on the Jin Kingdom in the east and the Song Dynasty in the south, and it was also a headache for the grassland tribes' tactics of coming and going, so they set up the Black Mountain Fuwei Military Division in the north and the Heishui Town Yan Military Division, which were to defend against the plundering of the grassland departments. Among them, behind the Black Mountain Fuwei Military Division is the famous Yellow River Loop, so its position is particularly important.

However, in recent years, due to the rise of the Mongols, the wars against the Kereh and Naiban tribes have been launched one after another, and there is no time for the steppe to go south to plunder, so the northern border of Western Xia is much more peaceful than before.

The Western Xia also did not pay enough attention to the steppe tribes in the north, and even after learning that the Mongols had annexed the Kereh and Naiman tribes and completely unified the entire steppe, they did not realize that in their north, there was a strong neighbor in the north. In their view, the current Mongols are actually no different from the Kareh and Naiban tribes in the past, just barbarians who are content to do some limited raids in the border areas, and although they are fierce and warlike, they are actually unambitious.

At the same time, after the defeat two years ago, the focus of the Western Xia's defense was on the Song Dynasty and internal troubles in the south, and the north was even more neglected.

The name of the commander of the Black Mountain Fuwei Military Division is Wuzang Xingguo, and he was sent to the Black Mountain Fuwei Military Division to be the commander of the army two years ago, after the Western Xia lost to the Song Dynasty. Just in time for the best time in the north of Western Xia, in the past two years, there have been almost no southward raids on the grassland, because not to mention that there are no major wars, even small-scale conflicts have occurred. The peaceful days have passed for a long time, and I feel a little bored instead of hiding and rejuvenating the country.

Recently, I didn't know that in the southeast of Western Xia, the monarch was at war with Ren Dejing, and the Song Dynasty in the south seemed to have the intention of attacking Western Xia. However, all this seems to have nothing to do with the rejuvenation of the country without Tibet, and the northern border of Western Xia is still as calm as ever.

But this calm was soon shattered.

For several days in a row, the state received a report from the spies that a steppe Tatar army was plundering the village of Zhuang near the city of Arahai. According to the intelligence analysis of the past few days, the number of this Tatar force is about 1,000 to 2,000, and the range of activity is roughly within a radius of 30 miles from the city of Arakhai. And now it is the season of the end of September and the beginning of October, and the autumn is also a good time for the Tatars to go south to plunder.

Knowing this, he decided that this was a mere accidental attack, and that it was no different from the looting of the past. Of course, as the commander of the Black Mountain Fuwei Military Division, he naturally couldn't sit idly by, so when he learned that the Tatar army was robbing Linhe Village fifteen miles northeast of the city on this day, Wuzang Xingguo immediately ordered to personally lead the army to Linhe Village, hoping to meet this Tatar army and destroy them.

To be able to be the commander of a military division, he will naturally not be incompetent if he does not hide and rejuvenate the country, and he still knows something about the Tatar army, knowing that they are good at riding and shooting, fierce and aggressive, and they can fight if they can fight, and if they can't fight, they will go, come and go like the wind, although there are not many people, but they are also extremely difficult to deal with. Therefore, he didn't dare to be careless, and brought out all the 8,000 cavalry troops in the Black Mountain Fuwei Military Division, hoping to be able to rely on the absolute superiority of troops to ride a horse.

The Western Xia army traveled more than ten miles to the northeast and approached Linhe Village. At this time, the outpost spies came to report that the Tatar army was still plundering the village. After hearing this, Wenzang Xingguo immediately divided the whole army into two groups and marched into the village from both sides, hoping to surround the Tatar army and wipe them out.

However, to the surprise of the Tsukasa Xingguo, this time the Tatar army was very cunning, and before the Western Xia army could enter the village, they immediately threw down the looted food, property and population, and fled to the north. The encirclement of the Western Xia army was empty.

After Wuzang Xingguo led the Western Xia army into the village, he found that the village was in a mess, dozens of houses were set on fire, dozens of corpses were lying on the ground, and villagers who were crying with corpses could be seen everywhere. Grain, cloth, and other items were also thrown everywhere, and ownerless cattle and sheep were wandering around, apparently discarded in haste by the Tatars.

All this naturally made Wuzang Xingguo feel indignant, and he also saw that this Tatar army really only had about a thousand people, and all the troops he brought were cavalry, so he was also full of confidence in defeating them. Immediately led the army to chase after him.

Two teams of centaurs chased after each other across the vast expanse. After chasing for a while, he found that this time the Tatar army was not blindly fleeing for their lives, and while fleeing, they fired arrows at the pursuers behind them.

Although it was a turning arrow shooting, it was still running at high speed. However, the arrows fired by the Tatar army were still quite accurate, and the soldiers at the forefront of the Western Xia army were constantly shot off their horses. Although the Western Xia army was in pursuit, they also shot arrows at the fleeing army in front, but in comparison, the arrows fired were much more disorganized.

The Juexiang people, who established the Western Xia, were originally also a nomadic people, but after more than 100 years of development, although they still retain certain nomadic characteristics in a certain place, their thoughts, concepts, and habits are no different from those of the Han people. Faced with this kind of nomadic tactics again, there is nothing to be done without hiding and rejuvenating the country.

The soldiers of the Western Xia army were also shocked by the enemy's bows and arrows, so the speed of pursuit gradually slowed down. The Tatar army did not take this opportunity to distance itself from the Western Xia army, and the speed of escape also slowed down, as if it deliberately kept a certain distance from the Western Xia army.

After the two armies ran for more than ten miles, Wuzang Xingguo also found that something was wrong with the situation, and immediately ordered the whole army to stop the pursuit.

But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of killing, and a group of men and horses were killed from both sides of the Western Xia army, and they came straight to the Western Xia army. At the same time, in front of the Western Xia army, a team of men and horses was also killed, so that after passing the defeated army, the direction of the Western Xia army's advance was blocked. In the middle is a nine-pole white flag, flying in the wind. In the blink of an eye, the Western Xia army was surrounded on three sides.

When he saw it, he couldn't help but be taken aback, who said that these steppe Tartars were simple-minded barbarians, this was clearly an ingenious plan to lure the enemy.

It turned out that just after the Song army sent troops, Temujin also sent troops from Mongolia to attack Western Xia from the north. The Mongol army launched an attack on a country beyond the steppe, so Temujin attached great importance to it, and dispatched a total of 65,000 Mongol troops, including 50,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry.

The Mongol conquest has always relied on cavalry, and the dispatch of such a large number of infantry has never been done in the Mongol conquest. Moreover, this expedition used a total of 120,000 war horses, and even each infantry army was equipped with a horse, and at the same time, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were driven out with the army as rations.

The Mongol army was divided into two routes, east and west, attacking Western Xia, and Temujin of the east road served as the commander, leading the four dogs to exterminate, Kublai, Subutai, Jebe, the third son Jochi, Chagatai, Wokotai, the second brother Hesar and Belgutai, the Khitan Yelu Ahai and Yelu Bald Flower Brothers, Zaba'er Fire and other generals, led 30,000 cavalry troops, 10,000 infantry troops to attack the Black Mountain Fuwei Military Division, and then along the Yellow River south, attack Xingqing Mansion.

The Western Route Army was led by Sijie Mu Huali, Borshu, Chilaowen, and Borhu, with Mu Huali as the commander, plus the main son, led 20,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry troops to attack the Yanjun Division of Heishui Town in the northwest of Western Xia, and then crossed the desert and joined Temujin's main army by the Yellow River to jointly attack Xingqing Mansion.

Tie Wei really knew that the Mongol army was not good at attacking the city, so after leading the army into the territory of Western Xia, he did not rush to storm the city of Arahai, but stationed the army in the area of the Mengxia border to hide, and sent Jebe and Subutai to lead a thousand men and horses to the villages and towns around the Fuwei Military Division of Montenegro to plunder, on the one hand, to rob the property, grain and grass, and population, on the other hand, it was also to lure the Western Xia army out of the fortified city, so as to fight a decisive battle with the Western Xia army in the field.

The lord of the city of Alahai did not hide the Xingguo really fooled, without careful investigation, he boldly led the army from the city to attack, Jebe and Subutai saw the Western Xia army killed, immediately led the army to defeat and retreat, but deliberately kept a certain distance from the Western Xia army, and gradually lured the Western Xia army and horses into the ambush of the Mongolian army.

This is not hiding the rejuvenation of the country to see Chu, he is facing at least 15,000 to 20,000 men and horses, I can't imagine that this time they will dispatch so many men and horses, is it difficult to say that these steppe Tartars want to attack Western Xia in a big way?

But there was no time for the rejuvenating country to think about it, the Mongolian army surrounded it from three sides, and there were constantly the sound of arrows breaking the wind on the left, right, and front sides of the Western Xia army, and the speed and strength of the arrows were far from being comparable to the pursuit of the Mongolian army just now. In the face of this sudden attack, the Western Xia army, which was caught off guard, was immediately shot down by bows and arrows in rows.

At this time, the country also understood that the opponent's strength was more than double that of his own, and he had formed a three-sided encirclement, and it was impossible to organize an effective counterattack, on the contrary, if he was successfully surrounded by the Mongol army and surrounded himself, then he would be in danger of being annihilated. Therefore, he immediately ordered the whole army to turn around and withdraw, and escape as much as they could, and as long as they fled back to the city of Arakhai, they would be safe.
