Liao Xingzong didn't realize it at this time, Yuan Hao set up another poisonous plan, even if he realized, there was no way, a strong city, a strong city with more than hundreds of thousands of troops, just where it was, just like an iron pea, it couldn't be smashed, it couldn't be broken, it couldn't be burned, unless Liao withdrew after occupying the current advantage, otherwise, attacking him was an inevitable choice.

The Western Xia camp, Yuan Hao retreated a little anxiously, this place was vacant, and after a little inspection and repair, the Liao army was stationed.

The generals began to train the soldiers, and the ministers began to calculate the losses of the battle and reward them for their deeds.

The first merit is, of course, Xiao Hui, the privy envoy of the Northern Court, King Han, has achieved the level of a very human minister, it is impossible to have a greater promotion, and Liao Xingzong has not been greatly promoted, King Han is already a word king, no matter how he is promoted, it is to reward the soldiers under his command.

Under Xiao Hui's command, the most eye-catching is Zhou Wenxiu, this young Han general, from the beginning of this expedition to the summer, has shown enough meritorious service, the last battle, his own strength, defeated 20,000 people, directly laid a good start, without his attack power, it is a little difficult to take Yeli Rongxing, let alone 10,000 prisoners.

At that time, Zhou Wenxiu entered the eyes of Liao Xingzong, and the position was in accordance with Xiao Hui's proposal, and he took a step further to reach the level of the main disciple of the Xungui family.

Liao Xingzong thought that this was Zhou Wenxiu's limit, the first battle was different from this battle, a big war of more than 300,000 people, a small team of 2,000 people, an inconspicuous miscellaneous general, what could be done.

But this time, Zhou Wenxiu once again had a brilliant performance, it can be said that in this performance, the best is him, without him breaking through a series of defensive lines, killing and injuring so many Western Xia cavalry, maybe, it is an undefeated result.

Because of Yuan Hao's fraudulent surrender, the entire army was unprepared, and suddenly fell into Yuan Hao's rhythm, caught off guard, without Xiao Hui's quick decision, I am afraid that it would not be possible, at the same time, the appearance of the kamikaze made the Liao State rear army chaotic, and it was impossible to support Xiao Hui on the front line, let alone Zhou Wenxiu, who was deep in the enemy formation.

It's not that Zhou Wenxiu has dragged tens of thousands of elites, it's not that Zhou Wenxiu may threaten Yuan Hao's Chinese army, what kind of concept will Yuan Hao have when he comes out of the city.

There is no if on the battlefield, this if itself is in a hypothetical situation, and even when the war is over and everything is already doomed, it highlights Zhou Wenxiu's merits even more.

This merit can make Zhou Wenxiu promoted to the level of general, general, or even general, and at the same time, there is no problem with being a marquis, and if you are reluctant, you can also be a general.

With such a big credit, it stands to reason that there is no problem, but the person has not yet returned, and this is the biggest problem.

At any time, life and death are a big problem, many ministers, the nickname of living and dying, this is completely different, and the reward is also different.

While retraining the troops and restoring their combat effectiveness, he rewarded others and waited for Zhou Wenxiu by the way.

waited until the evening, or even the next day, Zhou Wenxiu did not come back, this is a huge problem, whether he escaped from Ascension or not, there are less than a thousand people left around him, and those who were leaked down and divided into cavalry also caused a lot of casualties in Western Xia, and they were all killed by Western Xia with superior forces, basically no impact.

Such a cavalry unit that has made such a great contribution to the Liao State must be a thorn in Yuan Hao's side, so under unfavorable conditions, 6,000 iron harriers were sent to chase after him, in the territory of Western Xia, even if they can dodge, what can they do.

Before the life and death are confirmed, the merits are determined first, and I don't know if I don't know the statistics, just by relying on speculation and some final circumstances, the statistics of the merits are very terrifying, defeating more than 15,000 people, or the elite of the elite, including thousands of iron harriers, pro-guards, if you add the 20,000 people of the logistics troops, it can be said that Zhou Wenxiu used less than 2,000 people, but attacked at least a quarter of the team of Western Xia.

These merits plus the possibility of death, the final credit is great, Xiao Hui's opinion is, wait a minute, first press down this credit, if Zhou Wenxiu comes back, lower it by two or three grades, if he doesn't come back, then raise it, and transfer some credit to the Zhou family.

Including Xiao Hui, they didn't expect that Zhou Wenxiu would be able to escape from Ascension, in such a situation, under the premise of obtaining such a high result, if Zhou Wenxiu could still escape, he would not be an ordinary demon.

But in fact, Zhou Wenxiu is really not an ordinary demon, he not only escaped, but also was at ease, at this time, after a simple rest, he was heading south.

After a series of losses, the Liao army also needs to sort out, more than 20,000 losses, including many seriously wounded, in the era of cold weapons, in the territory of Western Xia, which has no foundation, it is impossible to treat them.

caused four times the damage on the Western Xia side, but their overall strength was still reduced by one-fifth, and the most important thing is that all of them were Xiao Hui's department.

The losses of Xiao Hui's department are huge, not to mention the 2,000 cavalry of Zhou Wenxiu's department is missing, and the remaining 3,000 heavy cavalry and 4,000 light cavalry, they have basically lost almost everything, and the total loss has reached 7,000 people.

Xiao Hui has other troops of nearly 40,000 people, and there is no problem with guarding these troops, but when it is the turn of the field battle and the turn to attack, it can only be the role of waving the flag and shouting.

Since the Liao State attacked Western Xia, it also did a certain amount of work, at least I knew that after Helan Mountain, it was less than 150 miles away from Xingqing Mansion, which was basically a distance for a day for the cavalry to gallop fast horses, and at the same time, there was nothing to stop them.

Having suffered a lot of losses, coupled with a certain advantage on the battlefield, they simply corrected it here, and now that Yuan Hao had no time to take care of them, he mobilized some supplies.

At this time, after truly realizing the attack power of Western Xia, Liao Xingzong also changed his previous thoughts.

Liao Xingzong is a stubborn and paranoid person, he only had a lesson attitude towards Western Xia before, but he was played by Yuan Hao, as the most powerful king of Liao among the Three Kingdoms, he also has a temper, and his temper directly determines that next, there will be a war to destroy the country.

A total of 70,000 Tielin Army and Pi Room Army, as well as at least 50,000 affiliated forces, they have set off to the border, and now, under the order of Liao Xingzong, they will arrive here in half a month, and after a little repair, the Liao army will directly attack Xingqing Mansion, even if it does not dismember Western Xia, it will make Western Xia kneel and beg for mercy, and even replace Yuan Hao and re-establish the monarch.

The Liao State is preparing, and so is Yuan Hao, he began to shrink his forces frantically, with Xingqing Mansion as the core, and the three states bordering the Liao State, all of them retreated, and the herdsmen ran as far as they could, and the materials, and personnel, were all concentrated in Xingqing Mansion.

This Western Xia capital, after years of construction, a very large city, will usher in, since the completion of the most tragic siege battle, a possible total number of people to participate in the siege of more than a million people.

In Liao Xingzong's view, as long as his army is killed, about 200,000 troops, enough to make the Western Xia surrender, the nomads, are all after the duel of the army, the winner is decided, he did not expect that here, there will be a war with the Northern Song Dynasty, a tragic siege.

In just a few days, with forced and semi-forced methods, Yuan Hao concentrated more than 700,000 people in Xingqing Mansion, including 250,000 soldiers, weapons and materials, and they were also quite well prepared, at least, with more than 1 year's worth of grain and grass.

This is already the limit, and it is not bad to be able to have a quarter before the lessons of the Northern Song Dynasty, nomads, whose wars tend to be fast-paced.

When Genghis Khan rose, many wars were completed in one day, and the Western Xia learned to be smart only after the Northern Song Dynasty suffered losses.

Two huge countries began to prepare for the offensive and defensive battles of a city, which had nothing to do with Zhou Wenxiu.

Because he had already jumped out of the cracks, Yuan Hao pursued Zhou Wenxiu, the most dangerous time should be that Zhou Wenxiu had just left, and the Iron Harrier at that time was only 500 steps away from him, as long as there was any army, blocking Zhou Wenxiu for a little time, it was enough to solve him.

No matter how brave Zhou Wenxiu is, it is impossible to be a hundred, 1,000 cavalry, he is already in the middle of the charge, and he is sleepy and lacking horses, which is the weakest place.

But Yuan Hao didn't expect that Zhou Wenxiu was not only strong, but also very terrible in the overall situation, and the most important thing was that he was very familiar with the terrain of Western Xia.

The Northern Song Dynasty even got a large amount of supplies to the Western Xia, and the investigation of the Western Xia was even more so. Perhaps in Lingzhou, where the Northern Song Dynasty bordered and could be infiltrated by the Northern Song Dynasty, the defense of Western Xia was more focused, but on the other side, the places bordering the Liao State were much weaker.

Because, the pressure of the Liao State on Western Xia is not great, and there are not so many twists and turns, but it is here that gives them great damage, and Zhou Wenxiu also knows what is around and where to run.

In a small valley in Helan Mountain, he had already missed the Western Xia pursuit troops, Zhou Wenxiu's department, rest carefully, and when Yuan Hao's large army also retreated, he did not choose to return to the Liao army, but bypassed this generation of war zones and went south.
