More than 20,000 Tangut people died in battle, and 8,000 Song soldiers died in battle.

8,000 people for 20,000 people, and then counting the casualties of the previous battle with the Xia army outside Yan'an Mansion, it was almost 10,000 Song troops for 40,000 or 50,000 Xia troops.

No matter how you look at this kind of battle loss, it is earned, especially when the Tanguts dispatched an army of 500,000 and only reaped such a small result, the winner of this battle is undoubtedly the Song army.

But Tang Ning couldn't be happy, in his opinion, the Song army, which had gunpowder, should not have such a record. When the gunpowder ration is sufficient, it is not impossible to achieve a 1:10 battle loss ratio.

From this point, it can be seen that even with gunpowder to make up for the gap between the quality of soldiers on both sides, the Song army still did not achieve the expected effect. Maybe it's because they're reluctant to use gunpowder, or maybe it's because of other reasons.

After Liu Fa finished the meeting, Tang Ning even went to meet Liu Fa once and told him about the problems he found.

This is the first time Tang Ning has seen Liu Fa, this vicious-looking but very kind famous general gave the reason that the power of gunpowder is too great, and he has caused accidental injuries during the trial before, so there are not many people in the Western army who dare to use gunpowder, and they are still exploring a safer way to use it.

Tang Ning wants to curse, gunpowder is such a thing as a way to find a way to use it, and when Lao Tzu makes a cannon for you, don't you even dare to touch it?

But he definitely didn't dare to say this, at most he muttered a few words in his stomach to be refreshed.

And Liu Fa saw that Tang Ning was constipated, so he frowned, blinked his eyes, looked at Tang Ning and asked, "You seem to have something to say." ”

Tang Ning waved his hand again and again: "No, no, I don't want to say a word." ”

"Really?" General Liu Fa was suspicious, looked at Tang Ning for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Anyway, I've worked hard for you."

General Ben knew that the gunpowder was brought up by you and presented to the official family, and you became the commander of the Zhenjiang Army. I thought that your so-called Zhenjiang Army was just a group of rabble, but I didn't expect that this time in a rapid march, the only one whose whole army could keep up with no one left behind was your Zhenjiang Army.

Listening to Chong Pu, you also taught him the forging technique that is suitable for soldiers? It's good, the official family is not wrong. ”

Liu Fa is not so kind in terms of appearance. But what he said made Tang Ning fluttering.

Who is this general?

The Western Xia people called him a natural god general, and the Song people sometimes said that the world's famous generals must be led by the law.

In March of the third year of Yuan You, the Saimen of the Great Song Dynasty was attacked by the Tanguts. The general Mi Yun (sound halo) was killed in battle, the morale of the Song army was low to the bottom, and everyone was like ashes, and at this time, Liu Fa stepped forward and led his troops to storm Hongzhou in Western Xia.

'More than 500 captives, 12,000 clan tents were burned, and 13,000 livestock were killed.'

This is the battle

Let Liu Fa win the title of natural god general in the mouth of Western Xia, and be able to get some praise from his old man, Tang Ning is now beautiful and doesn't even know who he is.

However, about Liu Fa, the Song people don't know much now. Tang Ning inquired and asked, but only inquired about the above one thing.

Thinking about it, it is probably because the time for Liu Fa to really become famous has not yet come. The reason why he was able to become the general of the unified army this time was because Lu Huiqing did not know why he was overpowering the public opinion, and he had to be led by Liu Fa.

However, Liu Fa's first order after the army was to march quickly, and many soldiers must have held a grudge......

"What's wrong?" Liu Fa looked at Tang Ning, who was in a trance, and asked.

This was the first time he had dealt with Tang Ning, and the people around him told him that this young man could not be offended. He is a celebrity next to the emperor, not an ordinary player.

Liu Fa is not a person who tends to be inflammatory, he can't do it to pat Tang Ning's junior, but try to be as friendly as possible, he can do it.

But Tang Ning's performance made him slightly disgusted, and he frequently wandered out of the world during the conversation, isn't it disrespectful to the other party?

Tang Ning hurriedly said apologetically: "I'm sorry, General Liu, what you just said reminded Tang of the official's earnest entrustment to Tang, and for a while he missed it very much, and he couldn't help but lose his mind in a trance, and I hope General Liu won't blame him." ”

Hearing this, Liu Fa nodded understandingly, patted Tang Ning's shoulder and said, "A certain family can understand your feelings, and a certain family will fall into contemplation because of something." ”

Then Tang Ning chatted with Liu Fa for a few more words, and Liu Fa drove Tang Ning out of the big tent, and he had other things to deal with.

After Tang Ning left, he saw the officers and soldiers of the Zhenjiang Army who were resting, so he walked over and asked them one by one if they were injured and how they felt.

The officers and men of the Zhenjiang Army were already tired, and no one was willing to deal with Tang Ning. Only Wu Dazhuang ignored Tang Ning, grinned and panted: "General, no, I'm too tired, I was hit by an arrow in the buttocks, I really don't want to go to the wounded barracks, I bother you to help me pull it out." ”

“……”

In the end, Downing helped the guy check the injury and pulled out the arrow.

Wu Dazhuang's performance is not his problem alone, there may be many soldiers who are tired and just want to stay where they are and don't want to move anymore.

Most of the soldiers in charge of cleaning up the battlefield are also soldiers who participated in the battle, and they are also very tired, and when the rear troops who are really responsible for these tasks arrive, it is estimated that it will be tomorrow.

Therefore, Tang Ning personally checked whether each soldier had any injuries, and if he had, he would deal with it urgently, and if not, he would put him in a more comfortable position and let him rest well.

After being busy for a long time, I saw more than a hundred people. Liu Fa sent another order down to pursue the famous Ah Wu.

But he's okay and doesn't let these get tired

The exhausted soldiers stood up again, but chose some cavalry, supplemented by some infantry that were still fighting power, and began to pursue in the direction where Wei Ming Ah Wu had fled.

Tang Ning did not participate in it, but the eight hundred fierce men of the Pingxia Camp all participated, and the long-term high-intensity training of these eight hundred people paid off at this moment, the Wujin Camp was already tired and lay down, and the Pingxia Camp could continue to fight, this was the gap, and it was also Tang Ning's original purpose.

Later, with the help of Pei Xiantong, Tang Ning checked the injuries of almost five or six hundred soldiers. There weren't many injured among them, so it didn't take much time for Downing.

But even then, it was already dark. After a full half a day's rest, the soldiers also recovered their strength to some extent. Set up camp in place, those who have full physical strength are on duty for the night, and the rest of the people fall asleep after entering the camp.

Without dinner, the rations carried by the people were no longer enough, and they could only wait for the arrival of the old, weak, sick and disabled escorts tomorrow before they could have a full meal.

For a while, there was a snoring in the camp, and Pei Xiantong's least favorite was this kind of sound.

Early the next morning, the old and weak escorts arrived here. After the soldiers had eaten their fill, they also saw the pursuing soldiers returning from a distance.

They didn't seem very happy, probably because their movement was being hindered. When they came back, they asked Gao Shu, and Gao Shu said depressedly that the Xixia people had arranged iron harriers near Long'an Village, and they could not continue the pursuit, so they could only retreat.

Tang Ningxin said that this Wei Ming Ah Wu is still quite cautious, and patted Gao Shu's shoulder again and said You have done a good job.

………………

The battle was finally over, and Zhao Xu also sent an angel to read out the holy decree, announcing that the battle was a victory of great significance for the Great Song Dynasty. The thieves overwhelmed the border with an army of 500,000, but there was no actual result, and finally fled back to Western Xia, which was actually caused by the military and people of our Holy Dynasty being coerced by the mighty heavens.

And the angel also came tens of thousands of chickens, cattle and sheep, and a lot of wine, which was used to celebrate the achievements and reward the three armies.

Downing thought the war was over, but that wasn't the case.

When the victory song was sung on the Yanyan Road, the Xihe Road Transit Division set out to build the fortifications of the Nusha Valley to protect the only route from the Tongyuan Army to Lanzhou.

This route was extended by the Xihe Road to the right flank of the Xihe border, and the intention was self-evident.

At the same time, after the Xia army invaded the Yanyan Road and retreated in vain, the Jingyuan Road passed through the strategy of Zhang Qi to speed up the Hulu River attack, and the troops approached Tiandu Mountain.

Zhang Qi wanted to build a city here to further control the nearby advantageous area.

And not far from here, forty miles away from the border of the Song Dynasty, is the gate of Tiandu Mountain, which is called the stone gate of 'the land of singing and fun' by the Tangut people.

Although the people of Western Xia will not give up this place, Zhang Ji will not let go of this place.

A bloody storm followed......
