After Yang Yi and others engaged in the battle, they found that Yang Zhi's worries were not unreasonable, Ren Dejing's cavalry was actually equipped with divine arm crossbows, which were all transported by camels, and then arranged on the ground after the formation;

However, Ren Dejing's team was also equipped with firearms, although the power of the Western Xia Tribulus terrestris was not as great as that of the Dingbei Army, but after the explosion, it also had the effect of poisonous smoke and broken iron, which caused a lot of casualties to the Northern Army. Fortunately, Wu Jue, Sang Zhong, and Wang De are all fierce generals in the army, although they are not as powerful as Xu Wen and Yang Zhongwu's infantry army, but the level of command and fighting of the three of them is first-class, and they lead the infantry army to fight in turns, and they can't hold on to the Western Xia army.

The two sides fought fiercely until the night, no one refused to take a step back, both armies had no way to retreat, the Dingbei army that participated in the battle was Yang Zhi's descendants, and they all knew that this battle was for the way out of the Dingbei army, and they must play the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty; especially Yang Zhi personally commanded in front of the army, so that everyone had only one thought, to defeat the opponent.

The Western Xia army also had no way to retreat, the current Dingbei army had destroyed 100,000 Western Xia troops, and forcibly dominated the Hetao area at the critical moment of the Great Song Dynasty, so that the Western Xia failed to benefit from the destruction of the Liao State, but lost Yinzhou and Jingzhou, lost the offensive on Fuqi Road, and could only defend Xiazhou and Suizhou.

The Western Xia army understood from top to bottom that it was the last barrier of six or seven cities including Wuyuan County, and that there were less than 1,000 defenders left in Wuyuan County and the two salt ponds together, and they were now waiting for reinforcements from Xiazhou and Suizhou; if they lost today, the Dingbei Army would be able to drive straight into Wuyuan County, and the army that was counterattacking Weizhou would be a dead end, and Western Xia would lose a large area of land in the south.

Although the preparations of the Western Xia were perfect, when Shan Tinggui entered the battle with 200 firearms soldiers, all the 3,000 strong cavalry of the Western Xia were killed in front of the infantry position, which still made the Western Xia soldiers break out in a cold sweat. The Western Xia army has experienced a hundred battles, and has also studied poisonous smoke and firearms, but it is the first time to see this tactic of the Dingbei army, whether it is a firewood train or a thunderbolt, it is arranged at the front of the position like a small strong that cannot be killed, and it has bought time for the crossbow in the back again and again.

When the cavalry of the Mubo tribe appeared on the horizon, the firearms of the Western Xia army were almost exhausted, and the soldiers who fired the divine arm crossbow were also exhausted; in the face of the all-out attack of the 20,000 cavalry of the Mubo tribe, the Western Xia army finally could not resist after half an hour of fighting.

Yang Yizhong sent Wang Gang's 2,000 heavy cavalry and the last 3,000 mobile cavalry at this time, Wang Gang's whistling became the last straw that crushed Ren Dejing, watching the Western Xia army collapse almost instantly, Ren Dejing had no choice but to give the order to retreat, the Western Xia soldiers fled with the change of direction of the banner, and the Dingbei Army pursued and killed for 70 miles, beheaded more than 17,000 Western Xia troops, captured 5,000 people, and obtained 18,000 war horses and camels.

Yang Zhi's biggest harvest is the Xixia copy of 300 divine arm crossbows and thousands of camels transporting materials; Yang Zhi has long heard of the Xixia god arm crossbow, the main material of the crossbow body is the Xixia special Tianshan Zhemu and yak horn composite composition, Zhemu is the core, yak horn cut into slices, with boiling glue glued to the outside of the Zhemu. Because of the complexity of the process, it is difficult for ordinary people to imitate, and the capture of the Song army is even less; although the three hundred divine arm crossbows were damaged by the Western Xia warriors, hundreds of repairs can still be used, and the most important thing is that a large number of objects are helpful for the research of the workshop.

In the absence of reinforcements, Ren Dejing made a mistake on the way to retreat, trying to use the defense of Dingbian Town to buy time for reinforcements from Suizhou and other places, but as a result, he lost the opportunity to withdraw the remaining thousands of main forces to Wuyuan County; as a result, he lost the opportunity to escape and was surrounded by the pursuing Dingbei Army.

Dingbian town has been dilapidated, the rivers around the winter are frozen, relying on the well water is not even too late to water the city, under the full attack of Yang Zhi, only one day Gongsun Sheng commanded the soldiers to blow up the city wall, Ren Dejing had to give up Dingbian Town, followed Ren Dejing to break through less than 1,000 people, the rest of the Western Xia army either died or surrendered, the Dingbei army obtained 4,000 horses, captured more than 2,000 people.

Yang Yizhong commanded 5,000 cavalry to continue the pursuit of Ren Dejing, Yang Zhi was busy in the big tent of the Chinese army outside Dingbian Town, the three leaders of the Mubo Department Mu Tiancheng, Qu Tuluo, and Jiang Feibiao came to visit Yang Zhi, they thought that Yang Zhi was using a delaying tactic, just wanted the Mubo Department to join the camp of the Great Song Dynasty, but they did not expect Yang Zhi to take the Dingbian Army so quickly;

Yang Zhi stood in the middle of the big tent to welcome, smiled and nodded to the three of them, which made the accompanying Li Qiong breathe a sigh of relief, Li Qiong took two thousand cavalry to join forces with the Mubo Department, this time it was also a lot of achievements, since entering the camp, Li Qiong has been worried that Yang Zhi will not agree, afraid of angering himself; now seeing the smile on Yang Zhi's face, Li Qiong's heart is a lot more settled.

Yang Zhi invited the four of them to sit down and said, "Everyone has worked hard this time, and when the war is over, I will definitely reward me for meritorious deeds;

Mu Tiancheng was already in his fifties, looking at Yang Zhi's bearing and nodding secretly, no wonder he came all the way and saw that these generals of the Dingbei Army were very young, and Yang Zhi's position was only in his twenties; Jiang Feibiao and Yang Zhi were more familiar, and sneered: "My lord, we are here for the affairs of Dingbian Town. ”

Yang Zhi nodded and said: "It turned out to be for this, then it's no wonder, although Dingbian Town has been captured by our army, but the war in Wuyuan County has not ended, it is not a good time for you to emigrate, if our army can't take Wuyuan County in one go, once our army retreats, your Mubo Department will become a lone son in front of you." ”。

The light in the big tent was dim, Mu Tiancheng stood up, bowed down and saluted: "My lord, Mu Bobu is not afraid of the Western Xia people. ”

Mu Tiancheng himself is not a Han Chinese, it doesn't matter if he gets to Longdong or not, he didn't participate in the battle in these two dispatches, and the cavalry was commanded by Qu Tuluo; at this moment, Mu Tiancheng felt that it was the time to suppress the momentum of Qu Tuluo and Jiang Feibiao, and he did not hesitate to force Yang Zhi to take a step; Yang Zhi didn't say a word, staring at Mu Tiancheng tightly, and Mu Tiancheng suddenly had a feeling of being overwhelmed by Mount Tai. Mu Tiancheng is not a master of the inner family after all, Rao has experienced countless storms, and under the pressure exerted by Yang Zhi, his face still shows a look of horror.
