"Do you want to go to war?" Kang Cheng thought worriedly.

But it's not very big, because this line seems to have a lot of people, one battalion of Guangrui, one battalion of Fan cavalry, one battalion of cavalry, one battalion of infantry protection, and two battalions of forbidden soldiers, almost reaching 3,000 people.

The number is not small, but Kangcheng does not believe that the Song Dynasty dared to go out to fight with only these 3,000 troops.

Could it be pulling training, why is pulling training so mysterious?

Kang Cheng couldn't figure it out, and the location of the gourd ridge was not very good, it was not located in front of Dashun City, but on the northwest side of Dashun City, that is to say, if you want to retreat, you must retreat to Dashun City from some rugged mountain roads, but if Western Xia sets up a = army to block the retreat, then the prospect is not good.

As it approached dusk, the army stopped, and Kang Cheng was thinking nonsense while directing his men to set up camp.

Then he saw a man standing by the brook. Kang Cheng walked over and said respectfully, "General Yeli." ”

"I don't have the surname Yeli now, my name is Zhao Huaizhong." The bearded general said that he was the commander of the battalion of the Tibetan army, and he was also a member of the Yeli tribe. With the completion of the construction of the Zhengbai Canal in Shaanxi, as well as the reclamation of the border army, such as Cai Ting in Huluchuan, Wang Shao in Weiyuan, and Guo Kui in Dasanchuankou, the border army gradually became self-sufficient in food. With this alone, you will save a lot of money in a year.

This situation led some tribes in Western Xia who couldn't survive to vote one after another, and they all let the Song Dynasty send them back, one is Gou He, and the other is the lack of food in the border areas. Ding Zhuang was selected as an archer and let them cultivate the fields. Therefore, many Tangut people defected to Gyeongju and Yeonju. It also happened that Wang Ju withdrew the ballast fort. Let the flat irregular quadrangle from Xinjiang Ballast Fort to Dashun City, Liyuan Fort and Rouyuan Village be completely controlled by the Song Dynasty. So many remnants of the Yeli tribe on the other side of the mountain fled to Gyeongju. Later, under the leadership of Li Sangou, a Xinbo cavalry camp was formed. His commander was the young chief of a large clan in the Yeli tribe, and his bow and horse skills were extraordinary, that is, the person Kang Cheng spoke.

"General Zhao, your subordinates are really the envy of the little ones, the so-called strong soldiers and horses are nothing more than that."

"Hahaha." Zhao Huaizhong was happy.

Kang Cheng said flattering words for a while, and then said, "General Zhao, do you know what we do in this business?" ”

"Boy. Talkative. There was a voice behind Kang Cheng.

Kang Cheng turned his head and immediately changed color and said, "Yes, General Seed." ”

There are eight sons of Shiheng, ancient, diagnosis, consultation, chant, chant, so, remember, and friendship. What can be fought is a kind of ancient. Seed diagnosis, seed and friendship, but Lao Qi is not simple, he is the father of the teacher. As for the other three, they have also been used as military generals one after another, but their reputation is not obvious, such as the general in front of him, Chong Yong, who is the fourth child of the family. The fourth brother of the plant.

The four generals on this trip were Li Xin, Liu Fu, Guo Gui and Chong Yong.

He paced a few steps. didn't blame Kang Cheng, walked back again, muttered to Liu Fu and them for a while, and then summoned the officers and soldiers of the three armies to tell the truth about the trip.

Earlier, the Western Xia sent tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to Shipan to build a false fort, claiming to be 100,000 people.

The reason why this fornication fort was built is very simple, once this fort is built, the White Leopard City and Jintang City will become a whole. In fact, the Western Xia has never been built, otherwise it may have played a role when the Song Dynasty counterattacked later in history.

Li Liangzuo built it once, but Dashun City was defeated, and its fortress foundation was also destroyed by Cai Ting's orders. But it's not that Cai Ting is unreasonable, or acts across the border, let alone the territory of Western Xia as stated by civil officials, it belongs to the idle field area, and does not belong to the Song Dynasty or to Western Xia.

Now the Western Xia seems to be going downhill, failing again and again, and the Liang family picked it up again, but it is not the false fort built by Li Liangzuo, but two forts, built in the north of the Twelve Pan Ridge is the False Fort, and there is a fort in the south, named Twelve Pan Fort. The intention is still the same, to link the White Leopard City with Jintang City, the second is to invade a large area of idle land, and the third is to prevent the people from defecting.

After Yanda defeated the Western Xia army in Suizhou, Guo Kui moved to Youzhou, and the Liang family was afraid of accidents, although they claimed to be 100,000 people, they were actually far from 100,000 people, of which there were only a few thousand soldiers, and the others were all people. In case the Song Dynasty became radical and gathered all the tens of thousands of troops on Huanqing Road, these tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians would be all finished.

Therefore, Liang immediately ordered to stop building the fort, let the people return first, and the army continued to stay.

Now most of the minfu have all returned to Western Xia, and the remaining minfu is less than 10,000 people, and a few thousand demoralized troops.

So Wang Judu had a misunderstanding, and he didn't want these thousands of Song troops to die in vain, and after getting the news of the construction of the fortress in Western Xia a long time ago, he wrote a letter to Li Fugui, saying a word, don't underestimate the people of Western Xia, they are the people when they put down their arms, and they are soldiers when they take up arms. Then think about it, Li Fugui will not be so stupid, if so, can the defense of Dashun City in history still be successful, although the battle was very tragic, it seems that the Song Dynasty died many soldiers.

But he can't remember a lot of things, and the current Shaanxi has made him messy, and it has gradually made errors with the history of his previous life, and even the errors will become bigger and bigger in the future.

Of course, Li Fugui was not so stupid, and after seeing Wang Juxin, he just smiled. Besides, Wang Ju has no right to let Li Fugui do what he wants.

When Western Xia was building a fort, Li Fugui did not move.

It was only at this time that an order was given to attack the fortress, and the reason was very simple, now there were less than 20,000 soldiers and civilians in Western Xia, of which less than a quarter were real soldiers, and they were divided into two places. So he summoned the four partial generals Li Xin and Liu Fu Chongyong, gave them the strategy, and asked them to go from Liyuan Fort to Guziling, go to the Fort of Falsehood from the trail, first defeat the army and people of Fort Falsehood, and then turn around and attack the Twelve Panbao Fort, which is closer to Dashun City. Then not only can the Western Xia army be defeated, but also the remaining nearly 20,000 soldiers and civilians can be killed and injured to the maximum extent in order to achieve war exploits.

Why is it 3,000 soldiers and horses, because this is a surprise attack, took a rugged mountain road straight into the fort, there are more people must be slow, and it is easy to expose the target, now 3,000 soldiers and horses, half riding and half step, especially two Baojie army and a Fan Luo army, many of which also participated in the battle of Dashun City a few years ago.

The power is not small.

But there is no need for this Li Xin to explain to everyone.

Moreover, in order to ensure victory, Li Fugui asked Bai Yu to lead nearly a thousand Song troops from the security army. From the security army straight into the rear of the haunted fort.

When the great war broke out, Bai Yu's 1,000 soldiers and horses suddenly killed, and the enemy army was defeated.

Li Xin finished in one breath. Thousands of soldiers listened silently. They were all thinking in their minds, and the whole plan did look perfect.

One is intentional and the other is unintentional. The morale of the Song army is like that, but the morale of the Western Xia side is very depressed.

Then this victory is counted as a ** point.

Once you win, the harvest will be extraordinary.

The first is the captured armor war horse.

The second is materials, Western Xia mobilized tens of thousands of people to repair the fort, all with various materials and equipment. Not all of them have been withdrawn yet, as long as they are defeated, most of these supplies will be obtained for themselves.

The third is grain, grass, cattle and sheep. So many people have to eat, and the Tangut people eat half meat and half vegetarian, not only grain, but also many cattle and sheep. It's like last year's war. Nearly 10,000 cattle and sheep were seized, but in fact, the rest was distributed to the soldiers.

Fourth, there will also be some rewards from the imperial court.

Thinking like this, most people's eyes sparkle with excitement, and the opportunity to make a fortune has come.

Li Xin and Chong Yong saw that the morale was up, nodded, everyone's morale came up, and the victory was guaranteed. And there were examples from previous years. That is a kind of ancient kind of diagnosis and surprise attack on the ginger meeting, and that trip is even farther. And go deep into enemy territory and face more enemy soldiers.

They think the same way...... Finish.

The army rested for the night and continued its journey.

In fact, the common place names in the history books of later generations, such as Rouyuan Village, Liyuan Fort, Dashun City, Jintang City, and White Leopard City, are not very far, but now the traffic is not developed, and it is located at the junction of Ziwu Mountain and Hengshan, with many mountains and forests, and the boundary between Song and Xia, otherwise even if it is an ordinary walk, any two places are only one or two days away.

They walked on a trail, so they were walking very slowly.

It was not yet noon when the army arrived at the fort.

When the Western Xia servant saw the army of the Song Dynasty, he was in an uproar and said: "We are just building forts, not fighting with the Han family." ”

The Tangut people mostly called the Song Dynasty the Han family, and China, rarely called the Song Dynasty, which is also the disapproval of the Song Dynasty by most party members.

Li Xin ignored it, he looked at it, the two forts were repaired for more than ten days, the number of days is not much, but there are many people, some places have been repaired a good model, most of the fort walls are high, but there are still a few gaps. He mounted on his horse, looked at the gaps on the east and west sides, and ordered the two cavalrymen, the Fan and the Baojie, to rush over.

The Tangut people saw that "reasoning" was not good, so they had no choice but to resist.

Under the fire of the dense bows and arrows of Western Xia, the two cavalry quickly sacrificed more than a dozen people, and Li Xin had no choice but to order a retreat.

This was only a tentative attack, and even Kang Cheng was watching from behind, the number of enemy soldiers was really small, and most of them were soldiers resisting and shooting. As long as you rush into the fort, you will have a great victory, and at most you will have to pay a lot of sacrifice. Besides, there will be a strong reinforcement in the rear.

Li Xin gave another order, allowing two infantry armies to cover in front and two cavalry to attack in the rear.

Generally, the tactics of the Song Dynasty were that the Fan army rushed to kill in front, which could tear through the opponent's formation, and the forbidden army behind followed. If the Fan army can't tear apart the opponent's formation, even if the forbidden army is dispatched, it won't be of much effect. Not only Li Xin, but also Wang Shao. Only Lu Huiqing was whimsical, carried out reforms, and attacked the Han Dynasty, but failed.

However, in the face of a group of frightened servants, is it still necessary?

Who would have expected that with the increase in the intensity of the Song army's attack, the bows and arrows of the counterattack in the fort became more intensive.

And this is a battle-type fort, the terrain is very cautious in the choice of terrain, for example, the predecessor of Dashun City is the Western Xia Houqiao Village, it is in the east of the West Mountain, Fan Zhongyan and Fan Zhao Ming captured the city, immediately in the west of the West Mountain. Another example is the Xinjiang Ballast Fort, also in the east of the hillside, after Wang Ju took it, he destroyed this fort and rebuilt the fort in the west of the slope, named Anjiang Fort.

The reason for this is to take advantage of the terrain.

The same is true of the Fort of Trouble, which is built in the east of Lingdong and is condescending.

Under the stubborn counterattack of the Tanguts, this attack was unsuccessful.

Li Xin had no choice but to order the three armies to press.

Under normal circumstances, when a large army engages, both sides need to keep a reserve in case of contingencies, or break through, or flank the ...... However, the situation is that as long as you rush into the fort, then you will usher in a brilliant victory. What this group of cowardly servants is fighting is only the terrain, and now Li Xinxin's superior forces forcibly charge, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

The officers and men of the sixth battalion were divided into two routes, with the infantry in the front, the cavalry in the rear, and several commanders in the rear.

Kang Cheng's Guangrui Army was also in the middle.

They attacked the gap in the north.

From time to time, there were shouts of killing, howling, and miserable cries from the front.

This time the fighting is more intense, and it also means more sacrifices. But for the time being, it will not pose a threat to Kang Cheng, his squad is also all cavalry, pressed behind, once the infantry rushes into the gap, it is time for them to officially charge.

At this moment, a large flag was raised in the fort.

Almost at the same time, a loud horn sounded in the mountains on both sides, and a large number of Western Xia soldiers and servants with weapons in their hands rushed densely from the mountains on both sides.

In the blink of an eye, the three thousand Song troops were all besieged by these people.

Kang Cheng's scalp was numb, and he thought, it's over. Not only him, but other Song Dynasty soldiers also knew that they had been ambushed.

Li Xin's eyes were blank, but he quickly gave an order, letting the middle two battalions pounce on the two wings, the infantry in front withdrew, and the rear two battalions of cavalry turned around and rushed to the rear.

This arrangement cannot be said to be wrong, the infantry in front pounced on the two wings did not work, only the middle two battalions pounced on the two wings, in order to prolong the encirclement of the enemy, and it was impossible to stop it. Then the two powerful cavalry in the back can tear the rear encirclement open, and 3,000 soldiers and horses can escape.

Li Xin's idea was good, but he ignored the terrain, mountains, and mountains here!

The advantage of the cavalry was not great here.

The tragic battle began, and the entire Song army also became a strange inverted triangle, Li Xin and several main generals led two battalions of cavalry to charge in the rear, the middle two battalions of the Song army were blocking the siege of the Western Xia people, and the two battalions of cavalry in the rear withdrew to the gap of the middle two battalions.

However, in the face of the elaborate design of Western Xia, no matter how Li Xin rushed, the ambush soldiers behind used the terrain to block them, and the fatal thing was that the "servants" in the fort also pounced at the same time.

But that's it, the Song army is still stubbornly resisting.

Suddenly, an order came out from the Tangut people, and the herald shouted loudly: "Kill the soldiers, don't kill the generals, open a corner in front of you." ”

It's not the kindness of the Tangut people.

The Art of War surrounds three queone!

The Western Xia people did this to secretly encircle the three queyi, otherwise if they continued to fight, they might not be able to annihilate all these thousands of Song troops, and even if they could be annihilated, the price paid would be very high. Maybe under the long battle, this army, which is mainly composed of servants, will be variable, and it can also make the Song army defeat into victory.

The order is handed down, but in fact, this is more disgusting, do you need to shout loudly? You can command with a flag.

The herald shouted loudly, and the front quickly gave way to an opening, and just a few main generals were originally behind the palace, but now they were directly ahead. Seeing the opening, General Li Xin didn't want to die, so he quickly rushed over with his cronies.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of cavalry rushed to the sky with Li Xinchong, and with the Xixia people blocking the mouth again.

Several of the main generals fled, and the morale of the remaining Song Dynasty soldiers fell together, Kang Cheng's brain was buzzing, and he suddenly shouted: "Rush north with me." ”

It can't be blocked anymore, it will be a dead end, and only by forcibly rushing north can you escape.

Several of his subordinates, as Kang Cheng forced a breakthrough to the north, there were also some clever Song soldiers who joined them at the same time and rushed to the north. However, there were too many enemy soldiers, Kang Cheng didn't know how many enemies he had killed, but he couldn't rush out, on the contrary, there were fewer and fewer dozens of Song soldiers behind him, and only a few people remained.

"Kill." Kang Cheng shouted loudly, this is not to live for himself, he still has a gentle wife at home, a son, and an old mother, if he dies, the family will usher in a tragic fate.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer enemies in front of him, suddenly the horse he stepped on neighed and tossed him to the ground. (To be continued......)
