Because Yang Zhi had planned everything in advance, Yang Zhi's military order was not available, and Zhao Kai really had no way to let Yue Fei and the others withdraw halfway at this moment, unless Zhao Kai replaced Yang Zhi; Zhao Kai laughed and said: "It's that I think too much, but my father's letter is here, and it wouldn't be good if we stubbornly hold it up." ”

Fan Zhixuan bowed his head and said: "What the prince said is extremely true, in this way, if the prince has any instructions, the next official will go to the Fu Division to convey it to Yang Zhi, and persuade him by the way." ”

Fan Zhixu is also an old fox, how can he not see that Zhao Kai actually wants to fight in his heart, but he is a little unsure of Xu Huiyan's situation in the clouds; anyway, as the representative of Song Huizong in Shaanxi, Fan Zhixu needs to do something superficial, so it is better to take advantage of this to spread a word and form a good relationship with Zhao Kai. As soon as Zhao Kai heard the joy, he told his worries again, Fan Zhixu remembered them one by one, and went to the Zhifu Division.

Yang Zhi also looked helpless when he heard Fan Zhixu's words: "Lord Fan, Xu Huiyan can I interject there, the army is impermanent, I am thinking here, what is the difference between talking about the army on paper; ”

Fan Zhixu also worked as an envoy in the northwest, and understood that there were too many reasons to shirk the small-scale battle, and if Yue Fei won the battle, Zhao Kai would not care whether he would fight Xingzhou or not; Zhao Kai made pen and ink articles with Hangzhou, and Yang Zhi continued to mobilize troops to Weizhou.

No one expected that Yang Zhi's arrangement would have no effect, and the contest between Yue Fei and Ren Dejing would decide the outcome in half a day, and it was a complete copy of the decisive battle in Gyeongju; Ren Dejing's 50,000 horses were no longer the elite of the party that had experienced a hundred battles, but almost the combined forces of the Tubo, Uighur, Dangxiang, and Han people, and the overall combat effectiveness and quality had dropped greatly; after the Dingbei army smashed the thunderbolt from the hot air balloon, the Western Xia army collapsed without a fight, and the officers could not restrain the army under their command at all, and after an hour it became a one-sided battle.

Under the pursuit of 20,000 cavalry of the Dingbei Army, the Western Xia army lost more than half, Yue Fei killed 9,000 enemies, captured nearly 20,000 people and 15,000 good horses, and countless equipment and materials; fortunately, there were 6 or 7,000 veterans of the Battle of Gyeongju in the Western Xia army, and they maintained their formation and withdrew from the battlefield, which not only played a certain role in breaking off when the army was defeated, but also gave Ren Dejing a trace of luck in defending Helan Division.

Under such circumstances, Ren Dejing could only arrange 5,000 cavalry to go to Helan Mountain Dazhai and lead the rest of the people to hold the military city. It's just that Ren Dejing thought too much, Yue Fei had no intention of attacking Helan Mountain at all, and this arrangement completely complied with Yue Fei's thoughts; Yue Fei made up his mind to attack the military city despite the lack of food supply, and in two days, Yue Fei blew up the city wall and attacked the city, Ren Dejing was captured, Ren Decong led 2,000 horsemen to escape, and Yue Fei captured more than 15,000 Xixia troops and 20,000 people. Three k

Yue Fei simply demolished the military city and escorted the prisoners and civilians back to Xining Prefecture. Everything was expected by Yue Fei and Yang Zhi, although the purpose of the Dingbei Army was Helan Mountain, Yue Fei did not plan to crash into Helan Mountain, like a fly without direction, playing hide and seek with the Western Xia people. The idea of the Zhifu Division is to drain the blood of the Western Xia step by step, this time reducing the population of the Western Xia by sixty or seventy thousand, basically meeting the predetermined requirements, and the rest is to wait, waiting for the next opportunity.

Even if he was not a famous general, he understood that Yang Zhi's 70,000 or 80,000 people in Weizhou had been assembled, and the Shaanxi army had surpassed the Western Xia army in terms of total number; not to mention the advantages of the cavalry on both sides, the Dingbei Army was comparable to the Western Xia even if the cavalry alone was comparable. If there were no external factors involved, there would not be much suspense in the battle behind, Zhao Kai sent Cai Suitian to Weizhou to deliver a message, asking Yang Zhi to act at the opportunity, and on the other hand, he reported to Hangzhou and deliberately asked what to do next.

And Xingzhou, such as the funeral examination, Ren Dejing was captured, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Helan Supervision Army Division were taken away by the Song army, which made the Western Xia have an unbearable pain. Yue Fei's army returned to Xining Prefecture, but the Western Xia army had no choice, on the main hall, the Western Xia ministers became ants on the hot pot, Xia Renzong Li Renxiao patted the handrail and said: "Even if it is 50,000 pigs, it shouldn't be caught in half a day! A city, there are as many people defending the city as there are people attacking the city, and it only lasted two days." ”

No wonder Li Renxiao was dissatisfied, all the people in Western Xia were soldiers, and women and old people could go to the battlefield when defending the city; Wu Er Siqi stepped forward and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Lord Ren has done his best, but fortunately, at this point, we don't need to think too much, we just need to send a high-ranking official to Hexi to replace Lord Ren." Right now, it depends on when the reinforcements from the Jin Kingdom will arrive. ”

Wu Er Siqi returned to Xingzhou with 15,000 cavalry three days ago, and after receiving the news of Ren Dejing's defeat, Wu Er Siqi knew that it was not good, and the ability of the Dingbei Army to attack the city was unparalleled in the world, and Wu Er Siqi did not think that Ren Dejing could hold the military city. Today's news is not unexpected, but Wu Er Siqi is afraid that at this time, Li Renxiao's mind will be blind, and if he wants to fight a decisive battle with the Song army, it will completely destroy the foundation of Western Xia.

Yang Zhi's use of troops is strange, Wu Er Siqi doesn't think that Western Xia can't win a battle, but what he is most worried about is that Yang Zhi will suddenly be pulled into a decisive battle and lose the army again. Wu Er Siqi couldn't help but look at Brother Richard, what puzzled Wu Er Siqi was that Brother Richard, the king of Jin, who was in high power, didn't say a word, and it was a bit of a taste of sitting and watching the situation, but Wu Er Siqi could only slander in his heart, and on the surface, he didn't dare to target Brother Richard.

Brother Richard completely gave up on the letter, and at such a moment, except for the 30,000 mobile troops that had just been gathered on the side of Dingyan Mansion, the rest of the troops scattered in Shazhou and other places were useless at all. This was the reason why Brother Richard wanted to fight in person, but after a moment of hesitation, Ren Dejing went, but Yang Zhi had not yet been pressed by the whole army, and Xixia already had the feeling of being put on his neck by a rope.

Wailang Yunlang Huan, a member of the military department, came forward and said: "Yang Zhi has arrived in Weizhou, it is said that he is recruiting troops from all walks of life, obviously to serve as a backup for the two armies of Yue Fei and Quduan, if the number of reinforcements from the Jin State is not enough, I am afraid that it will not be able to suppress the Northern Army, Your Majesty, our army is now in a weak position, and we must notify the following to rush to harvest food." ”
