Provincial Weicheng is located on the east bank of the Yellow River, two hundred miles away from Xingzhou City, looking westward, the peaks of Helan Mountain are towering like ten thousand horses galloping. The Camel River, which flows west from the edge of the Mu Us Desert, joins the Yellow River here, and the name of the Camel River is due to the abundance of white camels in the Weicheng area of the province.

There is no moat in the provincial city, the city wall is only more than zhang high, six feet thick, standing on horseback and stretching out his hand can almost touch the head of the city, which makes the guard Mi capture Suhai very worried, the news from the front is different, some say that the invading Liao army has more than 10,000 people, some say 30,000, and some even say that there are 50,000.

Due to the Song army's attack on the south front, most of the Western Xia's troops were transferred to the southwest, and the defense in the north became very empty, and the defenders in the province of Weicheng were less than 900 people, so even if the Liao army really only came 10,000, with the weak defense ability of the province of Weicheng, I am afraid it would be difficult to hold.

The more important thing is not how many troops the Liao army invaded, but the fact that the Liao army invaded, which caused great panic in Western Xia.

As long as people with a little brain understand that Western Xia will definitely not be able to bear the consequences of fighting with Song Liao at the same time, and the result of the war between the two sides is that Western Xia can only lose the country.

The panic spread rapidly in the city, although Mi Bao Suhai repeatedly emphasized that the reinforcements from Xingqing Mansion would arrive soon, but the morale of the defenders in the city was still extremely low, and the Liao army had not yet arrived, and deserters had already appeared in the city.

There are more than a dozen bloody human heads hanging on the head of the city, this is the head of the deserter cut off by Mi Suhai, relying on this iron-blooded method, the city sergeant was finally temporarily suppressed.

In the faint morning light, several horses leaped out of the mist, and the armor of the soldiers was wet with dew, so that they had galloped all night, and these scouts rushed to the city gate and shouted in fear: "Open the city gate quickly!" Let us in! Open the gates of the city ......"

The panicked cries of the scouts under the city suddenly raised the hearts of the defenders in the city, and just as Mi Suhai was about to give the order to open the door, he saw several groups of men and horses jumping out of the mist in the distance.

Liao Army! Obviously, it was also the scout team of the Liao army, but Mi Suhai didn't know if the Liao army brigade was following behind, so he didn't dare to open the city gate again.

"The Liao army is here, prepare for war! Prepare for battle! Mi Bao Suhai roared anxiously, and the soldiers of the city hurriedly rushed to their respective battle positions, swords, guns, arrows and shields raised, as if facing a great enemy.

The scouts of the Xia army under the city could not enter the city, so they had to flee along the root of the city, protected by the arrows on the city, they thought that it would be fine for the time being, but who knew that the "Liao army" that was chasing after them rushed in blatantly!

"Shoot! Shoot fast! ”

In the roar of Mi Suhai, arrows rained down on the city, and the "Liao army" under the city paid the price of more than ten casualties, and shot several Xia army scouts under the city.

This fierce style of exchanging lives for lives, coupled with the fact that none of the scouts sent by them returned, and their ignorance of the enemy army made the Xia army in the city like falling into an ice kiln.

Soon after, the head of the city began to shake slightly, and the horizon first saw the billowing smoke and dust rising, as if a sandstorm was sweeping towards the provincial city, and then a big banner with Liao characters appeared in the field of vision, under the banner was the galloping Jin Ge iron horse, and the whining horns rose one after another, and the sound was devastating.

Fast! It's so fast! In the blink of an eye, the provincial city was surrounded by groups, the smoke and dust raised by the horse's hooves covered the small provincial city inside, with the sound of the horn, the galloping war horse rose up a ** arrow rain, splashing water generally shot to the city, as long as the Xia army on the city showed its head slightly, it was immediately shot into a hedgehog.

The low city walls, the one-to-ten ratio of troops, and the low morale of the city, a sense of powerlessness permeated Mi Suhai's body.

Under the order of the chief governor, a thousand men and horses led by the fierce general Anu carried ladders and went straight to the north city wall, several people in a group, several shields were raised on their heads, looking down from the city, countless ironclad maze was formed under the city.

Under his command, the Xia army in the city smashed down the rolling stones and logs one by one, and the "Liao army" under the city was killed and injured dozens of people at once, and the red blood splashed on the city wall, dyeing a delicate flower of death.

The city wall of the provincial city is too short, and the first "Liao army" has just been smashed, and before you can move the second stone, the second "Liao army" has already climbed to the top of the city.

Yang Yi stationed on the dirt slope a mile away from Ma, quietly watching this siege battle, in general, the Obstruction Department is not very clever in siege warfare, if the tactics of encircling three and one are adopted, it is impossible for the demoralized Xia army to have such a strong resistance, and it should have fled now.

However, the ferocious attack offset the tactical defects of the Divination Department, and the Xia army knew that there was no way back, but it still couldn't hold out for long.

Li Yizhong quietly looked at Yang Yi's back, feeling full of emotion in his heart, he was in a desperate situation and was forced to run north for his life, and it was a blessing to be able to escape; However, Yang Yi skillfully used the name of saving the eldest princess of Kang Guo to urge the northwest to attack on all fronts, and after attracting the Xia army to the Song-Xia border in the south, he promised to lure the Divination Department with heavy profits, so as to deal a fatal blow to the empty north of Western Xia.

In the past two days, thousands of people and horses of the Obstruction Department have entered a no-man's land, and the soldiers have been destroying and invincible everywhere, which fully proves the success of Yang Yi's plan this time.

The shouting and killing sound on the city gradually weakened, and more of the cheers of the "Liao army" sounded, the city gate tower in the north has changed hands under the fierce attack of Anu, with the north gate suddenly opened, the "Liao army" roared and surged in......

Just as the men and horses of the Divination Department were burning and looting in the provincial Wei City, a scout from the south suddenly flew to the head of the city and reported that there were 7,000 Xia troops from the south coming to reinforce them.

Since entering the summer realm, the successive victories have increased the confidence of the governor, and he immediately ordered to leave 1,000 men and horses to plunder in the city, and the remaining 5,000 men and horses to the south to meet them.

Yang Yi originally wanted to dissuade him, this game of chess has been played so far, and almost all of the advantages have been taken up by the Blocking Department, and the Great Song Dynasty has not reaped enough benefits, so Yang Yi does not want Chang Zhidi to collide with the Xia army at this time, but he understands that the provincial Wei City is the first city captured by Chang Zhidi, and if he does not empty the valuable things in the city, I am afraid that Chang Zhidi will not be willing to withdraw his troops.

Five thousand against seven thousand, the two armies, one south and one north, galloped across the broad grassland, like two black clouds, rapidly approaching, ten, five, three, as the two armies got closer and closer, a fierce collision of bloody wind and rain was inevitable.

The horn sounded, and the fierce general Anu led a thousand forwards to speed up the forward, and then shot the water arrows spit out by the dragon and shot towards the Xia army's large array, and the Xia army immediately rushed out of an army on the left and a right, and attacked Anu in a flank.

The three torrents slammed together violently with an indomitable momentum, and the blades of grass on the ground were blown up by the agitated air currents, and the cold sword light flew like a group of snakes, bringing out a puff of blood flying like flowers;

Anu roared one after another, he held the knife in both hands, relying on his legs to control the war horse, each knife was chopped out with the power of the mountains and the sea, and he was forced to split one by one Xia soldiers in half, and the flesh and intestines splashed him, making him look like a demon coming out of hell.

The advantage of the Xia army is that the offensive line of their two teams is in an inverted figure-eight shape, allowing them to pass through the front of Anu, as long as they continue to advance to the middle, they can cut Anu's men and horses into two sections.

In battle, whether it is infantry or cavalry, once it is divided and loses its unified command, it will inevitably fall into a state of chaos in which they fight separately, and this will be extremely dangerous.

Chang Zhidi naturally couldn't tolerate such a thing, he pointed at his long knife, and the whole army immediately accelerated and sprinted away, while the Xia army on the opposite side rushed out of the two teams of men and horses again, but did not directly hedge with Chang Zhidi, but detoured to both sides, sandwiching the men and horses of Chang Zhidi in the middle;

With the two teams of Xia army rushed out, the last thousand Xia army finally revealed its true face of Lushan, their men and horses are all wearing heavy armor, holding a long horse lance, is constantly accelerating from the front, the earth rumbles, the amazing momentum is like Mount Tai pressing the top!

Iron Harrier! Xixia Iron Harrier!

For this kind of heavy cavalry with heavy armor all over his body, like an armored chariot, even if he is as strong as Anu, his pupils can't help but shrink!

"Kill!"

Anu roared, got up with all his strength and slashed out, when a bang, the galloping iron harrier was cut to the mouth spurting blood, but it did not fall, still like a boulder thrown into the lake, crashed into the "Liao Army" formation behind Anu, and the "Liao Army" who was not able to avoid it was knocked out with people and horses, and the momentum was unprecedented.

A thousand iron harriers did not gather into a large array, but dispersed into a team of dozens of people, as if heavy tanks rushed into the "Liao Army" formation, Anu's men and horses died in the first wave of impact, and the corpses of people and horses on the ground were trampled to the point that they could not be shaped, but fortunately, Anu was also a cavalry on his side, and if it was an infantry, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The chief commander in the back finally understood why the light cavalry of the Xia army was divided into two ways, this was simply to sandwich himself in the middle, so that these irresistible iron harriers could give themselves a fatal blow, and the chief ruler kept roaring on the galloping warhorse: "Separate!" Left and right assault! ”

In fact, even if the governor did not give an order, few "Liao troops" dared to hedge head-on with the Iron Harrier, and the four thousand men and horses were divided into two wings, as long as they successfully strangled with the light cavalry of the Xia army, they were not afraid of the Iron Harrier attack.

It's just that the people and horses of the Chang Jurisdiction are already less than the Xia army, and after being divided into two parts, once they fall into a disorderly melee, the situation will also be very bad.

Yang Yi saw from a distance that Chang Zhidi was in trouble, and he felt bad in his heart, the people and horses of Chang Zhidi were still of great use, and he must not be allowed to fail miserably at this time.

"Let's go, go back to Shengwei City!"

Yang Yi shouted, first turned the horse's head and rushed towards the provincial Wei City, there are still a thousand men and horses in Changzhidi, whether they can rescue Changzhidi from the predicament depends on the thousand new forces in the city!
