The flames in Luo Wu City rushed into the sky, and the firelight reflected half of the sky.

Liang Yi looked at the red light in the night, and had already heard the news of Song Jun leaving the city, but he felt caught off guard. According to the plan he formulated, in fact, it was not a pretense to withdraw the army, but was already preparing to transfer most of the troops and horses to attack Huanqing Road in the civil strife, leaving only 10,000 elites waiting in Yinzhou - he was actually unable to consume the tens of thousands of troops under his command under Luowu City - all the reserves in the land of Yinxia for many years had been dug up and used to supply the whole army. Liang Yibury was desperate at this time, whether it was Luowu City or several border cities on Huanqing Road, he wanted to solve it completely.

First attacked Huanqing Road, collected grain and grass, forced the Song court to be more panicked, and then turned back to attack Luo Wu. This is Liang Yi's wishful thinking, but he didn't expect that Gao Yong could evacuate so quickly and make his plan completely nullified.

From the time the defenders of Luowu City began to line up in the city to the time when the fire broke out in the city, it was only half an hour. Such a quick action really surprised Liang Yiburi.

Because it was to prevent the Song army from going out of the city to pursue the team that withdrew to Yinzhou, the four thousand people of the Iron Harrier who were placed outside as a guard, saw the Song army lined up outside the city, so they didn't dare to move lightly, and retreated a little distance, not wanting to get too close. When they finally found out that the Song people were also withdrawing their troops, and they had completely abandoned Luowu City, and then they wanted to organize their troops and horses to attack, the sky was already dark.

However, the dark night is not a problem, and the biggest question that plagues the Western Xia Prime Minister now is who will pursue it?

Half of Liang Yiburi's army had already returned to Yinzhou during the day, while the remaining half remained in the camp under Luowu City, and the original plan was to return tomorrow. When the few wealthy families who remained in the camp heard that the Song people had evacuated, they immediately shouted for pursuit. However, several tribes who had already arrived in Yinzhou heard the news and sent fast horses to hurry back, and they stopped at the gate of the camp and did not let anyone out of the camp.

'Didn't any family wait for a long time hungry, and finally waited for the fat sheep to leave the city, and they wanted to eat alone?! ’

If it weren't for the fear that the most difficult thing would cause two fires and lose both, and Liang Yibury rushed out to block it, the two sides would have started fighting a long time ago. Although it is now handed over to Liang Yi to be buried, he also knows that he must be dealt with fairly, otherwise he will not want to make the people below obedient.

But Liang Yibury also has a headache, if he lets the few families who are still in the camp send troops, the other wealthy clans who are already hungry and green-eyed may be able to lead the army to come over and snatch the spoils. But if all the troops who retreated to Yinzhou returned, the Song people would have walked thirty or forty miles long ago.

After thinking about it for a while, Liang Yibury felt that it was better to solve it quickly, looking at the situation on both sides below, maybe when Gao Yong could enter Suide City, he would not be able to settle down. "Those who can send troops will send troops first, and then talk about catching up with the Song people. In each of the houses in Yinzhou, five hundred cavalry will be sent out first, and they will arrive here before early tomorrow morning. The captured ones were distributed according to the number of soldiers in each family. As for the seized ......" The Western Xia Prime Minister looked around with gloomy eyes, "Whoever dares to hide it in private will take whose head to test military discipline!" ”

Liang Yi's words were finalized, and the army in the village, which was blocked and was about to lose patience, was about to go out of the village to pursue immediately, but Jingxun, a scholar from Hanlin, walked to Liang Yi's side at this time. Jing Xun was originally a Han man, who fled to Western Xia because of his crime and deserved death, and now he is in a high position, and he is also Liang Yi's cronies buried in the court. Because the army had not received a good report for a long time, he was ordered by the Empress Dowager Liang to bring a little wine and silver silk to the front of the army.

It's only been two days since he arrived, but Coach Luo Wu, who dragged the elite of the country to a miserable level, has already left a deep impression on Jing Xun. He stepped forward and admonished: "Gao Yong can be cunning, he is making a big show, taking advantage of the night supper, there will be tricks, and you can't chase after him." When it is dawn tomorrow, the pursuit will be carried out again. At that time, the Song people were tired from running around all night, and it was the time to defeat the enemy! ”

A group of impatient generals immediately glared at him, their eyes full of murderous energy.

"Be careful!" Liang Yi buried his hand, and in the cheers, a team of iron harriers immediately rushed out from the various gates of the village, heading towards the direction where the Song army left.

"Xianggong!? Why is that? Jing Xun asked urgently.

Liang Yibury blinked his eyes and sneered in a low voice: "Of course, the first one will die first." But as long as the Song army is tripped up and followed closely, they will definitely be able to leave them all by the Wuding River! ”

…………………………………………………………………………

Walking in the darkness, only a little fire shone on the ground under his feet, and Wang Zhongzheng was frightened at this time.

Under Zhao Zhan's order, he came to Luowu City. When I entered the city, I still had this mind. But how difficult it was to return to the city, he didn't really realize it until after leaving the city. Tens of thousands of enemy troops were locked behind their backs, like murderous knives at their vests.

Cold sweat soaked his whole body, and even though he was surrounded by soldiers, they were always silent, so that Wang Zhongzheng could not have a sense of security and directly felt the approach of death. When he left Luo Wucheng for less than half an hour, he had already used up all the regrets of his life, and he knew that Lu Dao would not urge Zhang Yu and Gao Yongneng to evacuate Luo Wucheng.

The team that left Luowu City did not go very fast. On the moonless New Year's Day, the stars in the sky dimmed, and it was a joke to gallop horses at night only by relying on torches. And the rapid march is also difficult, and none of the generals who lead the army will imagine that after being hit by the cavalry of the Western Thieves, the team that is on the rapid march can still hold on.

Fortunately, the potholed road by the Wuding River must have had the same impact on the party members, and they did not want to ride fast horses when pursuing. even had to be like the cavalry of the Song army, dismounted and led away.

After leaving Luowu City, on the official road by the river, the army that was marching in a winding way stopped after only ten miles, and did not continue to advance. Luo Wucheng's staff had calculated the speed of Liang Yi's troops, and under normal circumstances, after a while, the pursuers of the Western Thieves should have arrived.

The plan for the evacuation of Luowu City, which is being implemented, has a complete set of plans for how to deal with the pursuing soldiers. However, it is not a strategy, but to defeat the opponent through a dignified battle, so that they will not dare to pursue again.

Defeating the Western Xia pursuers and completely clearing the guilt is a plan that gathers the wisdom of everyone and implements after evacuating Luowu City. It is the confidence and confidence brought by relying on the self-confidence and confidence brought by the continuous suppression of the army led by the Western Xia Prime Minister with the lonely city during this period of time.

In the case that Luo Wu City has been dragged on for a month and has been defeated once, how much strength can the tens of thousands of troops brought by Liang Yibury have?

Don't think that the official army of the Great Song Dynasty gave up the city defense, and the party thieves will be able to act arbitrarily.

After Liu Ping was ambushed at the mouth of Sanchuan, he still fought all night, and even built a camp under Li Yuanhao's nose. If it weren't for the disparity in strength, it would have been Li Yuanhao who would have lost his armor.

And you must know that there are still reinforcements in Suide, and when he hears the news of Luo Wucheng's abandonment, in order to reduce his guilt, he must send troops to respond.

The hundreds of carriages that had been brought out of Luowu City were unloaded and neatly stacked on top of each other behind the road, and a very simple line of defense was built. Although it was only aimed at the rear, it could not prevent the enemy troops crossing the river, but the uncertain river after the snow thawed. It is the time of the peach blossom flood, and the water is turbulent and difficult to pass. With this as a barrier, you can rest easy as you guard against the back.

"Why haven't you come yet?" Chong Pu waited a little impetuous.

Han Gang was also puzzled: "When did the western thief have such patience?" ”

Even with Han Gang's intelligence, or Zhang Yu and other veterans' understanding of the Tangut people, no one would have thought that Liang Yi's subordinates would be delayed because of deciding who would fight and pursue.

They didn't have to wait long, though, as scouts with the ability to listen to the sound began to call the police, and then hundreds of enemy horsemen appeared on the north side of the road with torches. The torches filled the valley like stars, and when they were stopped by the wagons, the speed of their pursuit slowed down.

Hundreds of carriages were carrying fire-starters, and the loads were very light, so they could easily travel on the valley road in the dark night. The Song army gathered all the things that ignited the fire, and when they saw that the pursuers had followed, they immediately shot all the rockets that had been prepared for a long time.

The raging flames suddenly burned, which was also a signal. There was a gong sound, and a rain of arrows fell on the hillside on the side of the road, and all the targets were shaking in the firelight, and it took little effort to shoot.

There were screams in the valley, but Han Gang and Chong Pu, who didn't understand the party language, didn't know what they were shouting.

But the screams made Chong Pu very excited, and he smiled and said to Han Gang: "Maybe we should cut down a tree with Pang Juan written on it...... No, Liang Yi died here! ”

"The Lord hasn't arrived yet!" Han Gang shook his head, the Western Xia people were only a small setback, and the Western thieves who were shot had already left at a speed several times faster than when they came.

The appearance of the former army losing their armor made the follow-up team vigilant and secretly sighed for luck. They finally remembered Jing Xun's words, and couldn't help but slow down the speed of the pursuit, thinking about coming back to pursue it during the day. This gave the main force of the Song army, which had already set up a simple village defense, enough time to rest.

"It's still Yukun who is powerful, and he was so scared that the West Thief didn't dare to come over in a hurry."

"It's just a fluke, don't dare to call it a credit!"

Han Gang smiled modestly, the success of the strategy is based on the strength of the army's morale and combat effectiveness are stronger than the opponent's; It was built on the basis of burying Liang Yi, who had an army of 80,000, with one slap and one slap, and only daring to pick up cheap. If it weren't for the fact that the Song army could defeat the same number of Western thieves in the field, and wanted to retreat calmly in front of the party's army, unless Zhuge was resurrected - and Han Gang, he couldn't even recognize the five strings.

But now, the cavalry that galloped overnight had a few chances of winning against the opponent who was waiting for him, and Han Gang wanted to bury it for Liang Yi!
