"Quick, quick," Bai Yu ordered without stopping.

In short, the cooperation this time was not very good, Li Xin led the army to move faster, and Bai Yu was a little slower. However, it is also understandable that it is difficult to control the precise time at this time, although it is less than a hundred miles apart, but in this vast mountainous area, a hundred miles apart is undoubtedly separated by hundreds of mountains.

Nearly a thousand Song troops hurriedly marched to the Fort of Trouble, and after a while, the scouts came back and reported: "General Bai, the battle has already started ahead." ”

Bai Yu patted his horse and came to the mountain in front of him, and stood here, and could vaguely see the battle under the fortress.

"It's not good." Bai Yu muttered.

Therefore, Li Xin and other generals fled, and the remaining Song Dynasty soldiers fought separately, and the situation was very bad. At this time, Bai Yu had two options, one was to evacuate, and the other was to rescue. Bai Yu considered the consequences of the rescue, and there were also two outcomes.

First, he was lucky to be able to rescue some of the Gyeongju officers and soldiers, but he suffered heavy casualties and was not cost-effective.

The second is that he can't be rescued, and in turn, he is trapped. At this time, Li Xin's subordinates were defeated like a mountain, and he only had nearly a thousand soldiers and horses under his command, so he was rashly killed, his morale was low, and the possibility of falling into the encirclement was relatively large. It is even better to have no defeated army, and with a thousand soldiers and horses, maybe you can still rush. Now with these defeated armies, they will drag down their subordinates.

But if you don't save it, the consequences will undoubtedly be very severe.

Don't talk about him, I think Lu Shu was loved by the first emperor, because he didn't cooperate with the troops to Dashun City, he was severely sued by Wang Ju, and Lu Shu finally degraded and finally disappeared.

"What should I do?" His cronies asked.

Suddenly, he said, "General Bai, look. ”

Bai Yu also saw it. Three Song soldiers were fleeing towards them, fighting dozens of Tanguts as they fled.

One of them killed many Tanguts, and his entire armor was dyed bright red.

"That guy is fierce." The cronie said again.

The person he was referring to was none other than Kang Cheng. Just a moment later, two more Tangut people let Kang Cheng kill him.

"Send a team of men to save those three." Bai Yu said.

Kang Cheng was lucky, when a team of soldiers and horses sent by Bai Yu rushed in front of him, two of his companions also died one after another, including himself, who was also seriously wounded, and saw the arrival of rescue, and the rest of the Tanguts fled. And he fell headlong to his head.

The soldier brought Kang Cheng back, and Bai Yu looked into the distance again.

The situation is already very dangerous, this delay. There were almost no remaining Song troops.

Bai Yu sighed and said, "Withdraw." ”

It's no fun to save again, and the risk is higher.

However, trouble is coming.

It's a big deal.

This time, Li Fugui wanted to steal chickens, but it didn't work. Instead, he took nearly 2,000 soldiers and horses. Including the most precious horse of the Song Dynasty, which lost more than 600 horses, as well as four commanders, including the Yeli commander.

Li Fugui beheaded Li Xin and Liu Fu to show the public, Guo Guiliu matched, and he was not polite to Chong Yong, so he went to prison and died in prison. It's not clear how he died, but he may have died by suicide in shame. It may be that he was seriously injured by torture, or he was injured himself, and he was not well treated in prison, and he died of his injuries.

There is nothing wrong with such a disposition.

Lee Fu-gyu's so-called plan was wrong, but will Lee Fu-gyu be held responsible? Li Xin and others also made a heavy mistake when executing, and it was obvious that the Western Xia gathered the troops and servants of the two forts to the Fort of Trouble, otherwise it would not have produced such a large superior force to surround it, which showed that Li Xin's march was not rigorous, so that the Western Xia scouts detected it and made preparations in advance.

Think about Wang Ju's medium-sized battles in Huachi, some of which were almost entirely nocturnal.

He didn't send many scouts to investigate, so that there were so many enemies in ambush in the area around the fort, and he didn't know about it.

There was a mistake in command during the assault on the fort.

Then the Tangut people surrounded Sanque Yi, and several lords immediately fled, greedy for life and afraid of death, especially the last one, so that Li Fugui could behead them.

But the matter is not over, some Wenchen of the Song Dynasty blindly pursued that the Western Xia people did not build a fort in the Song Realm, why Li Fugui sent troops to attack. Look at how pitiful the Xixia people say, I build my own fort and don't fight with the Han. Then the gap was opened and the main general of the Song Dynasty was released.

As for this is a ploy, can Li Fugui say it clearly with one mouth?

Wang Ju also discussed this matter in the capital, and the Xixia people built forts, encroached on idle fields, and were uneasy and kind. Li Fugui also wants to take advantage of a small gain and has bad intentions. Everyone is with each other. The key thing is that Li Fugui underestimated the enemy, just like Chonggu, even if he went deep into the enemy's territory and won, no matter where it penetrated, it was the land of the people of Western Xia or the land of the Liao people.

However, the Song army was defeated, and Li Fugui had to take responsibility for this command error.

In addition, it further tore apart the perception of Wenchen.

You must know that Chong Yong is his fourth brother, why is everyone wrong, you Li Fugui yourself don't admit your mistake, but you killed my fourth brother and let my fourth brother bear the infamy?

The consequences are severe, but no one can see them right now.

Li Fugui also knew that everyone saw his command mistakes and couldn't help it, so he further pushed the responsibility on others, that is, Bai Yu.

I'm not making a mistake in the plan, one is that several of the main generals are greedy for life and afraid of death, and the other is that several of the main generals don't pay attention to scouts, so it can't be said that it is unreasonable, because several main generals will be selected by Li Fugui, at this time Gyeongju is not without main generals, such as the veteran Yang Sui, Yao Ji father and son, Lin Guang, Huanzhou Chonggu, Fan general Zhao Ming died, as well as Li Sangou, Zhao Yuqing.

Therefore, Li Fugui began to trouble Bai Yu, if Bai Yu did not delay, maybe he could turn defeat into victory, but if he delayed, he would rescue in time and would not sacrifice so many soldiers. So he used this excuse to go to Yanzhou to arrest Bai Yu.

Bai Yu found Guo Kui and supported the aftermath.

Guo Kui once served as the deputy minister of Xifu, and Bai Yu was Guo Kui's subordinate, but Guo Kui was born as a military general, how many rights can a military general have? Please look at Di Qing, he once served as the prime minister of Xifu, and how many ministers regarded Di Qing as the same thing? Push it further, and the veteran Wang Deyong will use it. It's also a good old man. Even Cao Bin, at that time, the power of Wenchen had not yet swelled, and he had to obediently give way when he saw the scholars.

So Guo Kui can't keep the white jade.

Guo Kui asked what happened that day. And then I thought in my heart. Finally, I thought about it, don't talk about Bai Yu, even if I am at the scene, I am afraid that I will not be rescued, there is no way to save it.

Of course, Bai Yu has some responsibility. So Guo Kui wrote a memo and handed it to the capital. He also talked about some of Bai Yu's military exploits. It is true that Bai Yu is a fierce general, and he died in the battle of Jingbian Village during the Yuanfeng period in history, instead of running away like Li Xin.

So Zhao Ji issued an edict to forgive Bai Yu.

It's not over yet. The Western Xia was lucky enough to win a battle, but in recent years it has been more defeated than victorious, and Gyeongju has a large Song army stationed. So the Western Xia immediately withdrew all the soldiers and civilians of the two forts.

Li Fugui took the opportunity to summon Guo Gui, Lin Guang, Yao Lin and others, who had not yet been transferred, and asked Guo Gui to make meritorious contributions. The two sent troops from Qiongzhou Fort. At night, he went out of the city and plundered hundreds of people, old and young, who were dotted behind. Then they asked them to send troops to Jintang City, at this time the Xia army had withdrawn, and the two generals killed more than 100 old and young people in Heshi to ask for merit. When the retreating troops in front of Western Xia heard this, they immediately turned around and pursued.

Seeing that the Western Xia army was about to catch up, Lin Guang lined up with a strong crossbow by the Puluo River and bluffed. When night falls, the roll armor escapes at night.

Li Fugui slightly saved some face. However, Liang hated it greatly.

None of this had anything to do with Kangcheng, who was badly injured and did not recover until July.

Last time, Lin Guang burned, killed and plundered Heshi on the edge of Jintang City, and Liang Yibu increased his troops to defend it. Li Fugui sent Li Kezhong and the official Zhao Yuqing, the son of Zhao Ming, to send troops to attack. However, he was ambushed by the Tanguts at Luohechuan, and the Song army was defeated, and Li Kezhong saw that the return route was cut off by the Tanguts, so he had to flee to the security army.

Guo Kui received the news and immediately sent Song Jun to respond.

Kang Sung was also in the receiving army, and then prepared to return to Gyeongju with this army.

Although he was not an officer and soldier of the first battalion, someone recognized Kang Cheng and secretly greeted Kang Cheng. Kang Cheng was saved by Bai Yu, and Guo Kui had to understand the situation before he could write a recital. So when he went to the security army, he asked Kang Cheng in person, and Kang Cheng told what happened that day. This became Guo Kui's first-hand information, and he used it to explain Bai Yu's folds. This made Li Fugui very annoyed, and issued a secret order to wait for Kang Sung to return to Gyeongju and arrest him immediately.

"Brother Ning, how is that good?" Kang Cheng's face was as pale as earth as frightened. Although he was in the security army, he also heard some rumors, and even Li Xin was beheaded, and it was him.

"Ask Guo Gong." That Brother Ning said.

Kang Cheng had no choice but to find Guo Kui, it was not easy, the difference between the two positions was too great.

Guo Kui was very displeased, this Li Fugui was too rigid for his own use. And Kang Cheng is different from Li Xin, listening to Bai Yu, when he rescued Kang Cheng, the entire armor was stained with thick blood, and in that battle, Kang Cheng killed at least nearly thirty Western Xia people. Although he was trying to escape for his life, he was also a low-level general with high martial arts. Guo Kui thought of this, so he said: "Kang Cheng, let's do it, anyway, your battalion is almost wiped out." ”

Kang Cheng sobbed.

"When two countries are at war, victory or defeat is a common thing, and there will be opportunities for revenge in the future." Guo Kui comforted and said, "In this way, you will be assigned to the Suide Army." ”

"Thank you, Gong Guo."

Kang Cheng was transferred to the Suide Army again.

The Suide army is Suizhou, and it is far away from Gyeongju, what should I do, is it possible that Li Fugui will arrest Kangcheng and stop it himself? can only keep Kang Sung away from Li Fugui's sight.

"Suidejun," Kang Cheng walked out and muttered.

…………

"Brother Kang, I heard that you killed thirty Western Xia people in Twelve Pan?"

"I don't know," Kang Cheng said in a humming voice, at that time, he only knew how to flee for his life, and he still had the heart to calculate how many people he had killed, and the court would not recognize this credit.

"Amazing, amazing." Several soldiers gave a thumbs up in unison.

"What's amazing, I don't know if Gong Li can let me go." Kang Cheng said worriedly.

"He's a big man, he won't bother with you." Another comrade-in-arms comforted. At that time, Li Fugui may have been very angry, but after the matter passed, Li Fugui could still take it to heart. But Kang Cheng took it to heart, with Li Fugui's status, if he wanted to crush himself, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.

"Don't even say it, the Tangut people are building a fine floating village to prevent them from sneaking up." Kang Cheng said again. In April, I heard many people in Gyeongju talking about how powerful Cai Ting and Wang Ju were, and how powerful they were. He couldn't figure it out either.

However, after arriving in Suizhou, there was a slight comparison. Gyeongju placed the White Army, and Cai Ting left. These arrangements of the White Army have also been retained, but the role of this White Army Kang Cheng has not seen, at least that day in the ambush battle, the Song Army got into it like a blind man. Then Li Kezhong got into the ambush circle again, Lin Guang was clever, otherwise he would have gotten into the ambush circle.

But when he arrived in Suizhou, he was different, and he was also incorporated into the White Army. However, the scope of activities of this white army is very large, which is also Guo Kui's experience borrowed from Wang Ju, of course, Kang Cheng does not know.

Sometimes Kangcheng inevitably compares. If Gyeongju does the same as Suizhou, then can the Tangut people succeed?

The sky gradually brightened, and the grass and trees on the ground were slightly yellow.

But it's still hot.

At that moment, his eyes were fixed on the distance. "Look at ......"

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger. Dark shadows rose on the horizon.

"Enemy."

"Kang Cheng, you go back immediately, and the rest of the people will ambush with me." Qi Dutou said.

"Whoa." Kang Cheng quickly rode back to report.

Wang Ju has always wondered that the defense of Dashun City has not started, not that it has not started, and the Liang family's greed for Dashun City and Gyeongju has not stopped, but because of Wang Ju's changes, the imperial court sent a large number of armor to Yan Yanlu, including some divine arm bows. New armor, tiger cannon. As well as the quality of knives and guns, compound bows, and Wang Ju's persuasion, Chong Ge returned from Fuzhou to Yanzhou in advance, launched Tuntian at Dasanchuankou, and Wang Ju's economy was slightly more prosperous in advance, and the imperial court allocated more money to Suizhou, and Wang Ju's so-called cattle and sheep for grain policy, so that the Ministry of Weiming Mountain could solve the problem of food and clothing in advance, and the people were more stable.

As a result of these changes, Suizhou's power is far greater than it has ever been.

The five major gateways of Yanzhou, Huaining Village in the northeast, there is a road that can go directly to Qingjian City, Heishui Village in the north, Suiping and Huaining in the east, Tumen and Jinming Village in the southwest, Tumen and Jinming Village in the southwest, Tumen was originally Tumen in the northwest, Tumen was occupied by Xixia, and the portal became Jinming Village, and Shunning Village and Baoan Military City in the west. The back three villages are mainly defended, and the front two villages are not only defended, but also pose a great threat to the Western Xia people, pointing directly to the core of Hengshan and Yinzhou.

Therefore, after the Liang family failed to build a false fort, they decisively put their sight back to Suizhou, built a fine floating map village on the north side of the Dali River, and sent heavy troops to guard it, only sixty miles away from Huaining Village.

After the construction of the fine floating village, Liang Yi buried himself thinking that the Song army was unprepared, and also learned from Li Fugui and wanted to steal the opportunity.

However, the scale of the Tangut army was much larger, a full 30,000 military horses, and all of them were cavalry.

Soon after Kang Cheng's report, 30,000 Xixia light horsemen had already pounced on Huaining Village.

Yanda ordered the city to be defended.

The siege of the city is not the director of the Xixia people, as long as the Song army is well commanded, the walled fort is not so badly built, and the general Xixia people have no luck. After attacking for a while, the Tanguts reluctantly scolded and fought under the city.

"It's okay," Kang Cheng thought as he put down his bow and arrow.

This year, the two countries have been at war, but most of them are small and medium-sized conflicts, such as the battle of the Fort of Falsehood, which can be regarded as a relatively large number of troops, but why did they encounter it? Did what he said when he left Beijing really work?

Just when he was glad that Xixia couldn't break through Huaining Village, he heard Yan Da not far away say to Jia Yi: "Jia Inspection, it's not very good." ”

"Hmm." Jia Yi also frowned.

Kang Cheng was puzzled.

He heard Yan Da say again: "It seems that we are going to take the initiative to fight back." ”

Take the initiative to fight back? Kang Chengxin was immediately confused, what kind of joke is this? It can be compared that in the battle of Fort Falsehood, the Song army still had 3,000 soldiers and horses, and now the entire Huaining Village has less than 3,000 troops. At the time of the Battle of Fort Rebellion, there were only 20,000 people in Western Xia, most of whom were still servants, and now there are 30,000 soldiers and horses in Western Xia, and they are all cavalry. Isn't this looking for death? But he immediately heard the reason, and Jia Yi said again: "Yes, you can't send troops, otherwise the Xixia people will send troops to garrison outside the city, and the rest will be plundered everywhere, and people's hearts will be in turmoil." ”

The Song army was able to hold Huaining Village without losing, but between Huaining Village and Suide Military City, it was the Dasanchuankou area mentioned by the imperial court, not only the Tuntian of the imperial court, but also most of the ministries of Weiming Mountain were placed here. If the Western Xia people divided their troops and plundered, the various accounts that defected to the Song Dynasty immediately lost their sense of security, which is exactly what Jia Yi said, and then it became very difficult for the Song Dynasty to gain a foothold here in the future.

But how is this battle fought?

Yan Da said again: "Send people to shout, laugh at them, force them to attack again, and the twilight Chen soldiers will attack!" ”

At the head of the city, the Song army began to humiliate the Western Xia army, and we had this little soldier and horse, and there was a kind of attack.

The Tangut people were really fooled, and attacked again, but to no avail, they had to retreat.

As the day goes by, twilight falls.

"Send troops." Yanda Road.

With his order, five hundred cavalry, five hundred infantry, were selected. The infantry was ready to open the gates and counterattack from the front. The cavalry went out of the southern gate, detoured to the north, and attacked from the flanks. Kangcheng is also among them.

Yan Da patted Kang Cheng's shoulder: "General Kang, are you afraid?" ”

Kang Cheng just wanted to run for his life that day, but that bloody suit shocked Bai Yudu, otherwise Guo Kui would not risk offending Li Fugui for the sake of a small ten generals, and transferred Kang Cheng to Suizhou to protect.

This psychological ......

What did Kang Cheng say, he had no choice but to say: "General Yan, don't be afraid." ”

"Enough seeds." Yanda was very satisfied with his attitude.

Five hundred cavalry quickly went out from the southern city gate, and the prancing horses pounced on the flanks of the 30,000 boundless Western Xia army.

At the same time, the suspension bridge of the north gate of Huainingzhai was lowered, the gate was opened, and Jia Yi rushed out of the city gate with five hundred foot soldiers. This seems to be hitting a stone with an egg, but Jia Yi also has his confidence, that is, the Divine Arm Bow, which is about to appear on the battlefield for the first time. (To be continued......)
