The two sides began to show their muscles in the Dingbian Army, which made Ren Dejing feel pressured all of a sudden, but he couldn't ask Brother Richard and others for help. Brother Richard believed that although the Dingbei Army under Yang Zhi was elite and almost never defeated from Hetao to Henan, it was because Yang Zhi was cautious in his use of troops, and every time an army of 100,000 to 200,000 went to war, it was a small victory in exchange for a big victory; this showed that Yang Zhi's army was uneven in quality and the proportion of elite was limited, so Ren Dejing was required to shrink the defensive line and strive for a large-scale decisive battle to suppress Yang Zhi's elite with overall strength.

Now Yang Zhi is attacking the Dingbian army, including Brother Li and others, they all see through it at a glance, and know that Yang Zhi is just doing some hard work, Yang Zhi doesn't even want more than a dozen walled forts on the side of Hengshan, how can he want to crusade against Western Xia, but the salt field cannot be lost, and at the same time want to see if Yang Zhi's army on Gyeonggi Road is as sharp as the army in Hetao.

Xixia obviously saw Yang Zhi's intentions, the Dingbian Army was an area that could not be turned into an isolated zone, the Xixia Tun army was 50,000, Yang Zhi still waved his army without hesitation, Yang Zhi was good at using strange, the purpose was obvious, not to recover the Dingbian Army for the purpose, but to the same tactics as Hetao, to go to the salt pond of Wuyuan County. Once the Dingbei army occupied Wuyuan County, the Western Xia had to divide their troops again and again, otherwise they could only watch the Dingbei army transport the green and white salt away.

Ren Dejing was canonized as the Duke of Xiping by Xia Renzong because of his remarkable military exploits, and Ren Xiangqing was the commander of the army; but Ren Dejing's heart was not comfortable, although the whole territory of Xiazhou was restored, but Yue Fei relied on the support of Huozhou and other places, and still occupied Yinzhou and Jingzhou, Jin Wushu went south from Jinsu Prefecture and other places, but the triangular support formed by Black Mountain Prefecture, Beifeng Prefecture and Volcanic Prefecture made the speed of the Golden Vulture cavalry unable to be displayed, especially in the Battle of the Autumn Harvest, Yue Fei raided Jin Wushu from Jingzhou behind the Jin Wushu, and Jin Wushu lost 5,000 cavalry and had to retreat to Jinsu Prefecture.

Ren Dejing missed the opportunity because of the confrontation with Yang Zongmin and Zhang Shen in Suizhou; Later, he heard that the Dingbei Army had taken over the Shaanxi Fourth Road, and Brother Richard decided to withdraw the army and reappointed Dejing to face Yang Zhi in Wuyuan County. Upon learning of the situation of the Dingbei Army, Richard sent two envoys to tell Ren Dejing that he would hold on without fighting; as for the forts along the way, just like the Suizhou side, if the Dingbei Army captured it, it would not be necessary, and the army must not be lost.

But Ren Dejing couldn't do this, Ren Dejing was tricked by Yang Zhi in Xiazhou, resulting in the loss of Yinzhou and Jingzhou, and he was a laughing stock in the Western Xia court; Ren Dejing wanted to be ashamed, and the other was also worried that Huang Zhong when Yang Zhi was learning from the Three Kingdoms, step by step, and finally swallowed the Dingbian army as a whole, and he couldn't explain it to Xia Renzong, so after thinking about it, Ren Dejing still decided to fight with Yang Zhi.

In fact, the Dingbian army was also on the edge of Hengshan, and Ren Dejing mobilized 5,000 Hengshan Qiang-based infantry troops, and the infantry troops were certainly more familiar with the topography of Hengshan than the Dingbei army that came from afar; the various arrangements of the Western Xia army were also seamless, and they waited for the most suitable opportunity. But just when the infantry army came out, under the scorching sky, twenty rainbows appeared at once, and they couldn't help but be stunned, which was a change in the sky in the eyes of superstitious people, almost all the officers and soldiers were in chaos, and the timid soldiers had already knelt down to worship.

As the students of Guanzhong Academy shouted wildly with some Qiang and Dangxiang people, saying that the Western Xia had touched the gods, the Dingbei army was coming to crusade, and the recalcitrant ones would bring disaster to their descendants; more than 1,000 people had bowed down to the invincible infantry army in the world, and Xu Wen and Yang Zhongwu, who knew the inside story, had already been instructed to unceremoniously lead their men all the way to the past, and moved quickly with tens of thousands of soldiers, and seized the time to use bows and crossbows and javelins to seize the advantageous terrain.

After nearly 1,000 people were killed in the first round of attacks by the Dingbei Army, the infantry army reacted and took up arms to counterattack, intending to retreat to the mountains behind to continue the defense, but Wei Dingguo's 500 subordinates sprayed fireballs with gourds at the upwind port, and at once set the mountains full of withered grass and vines on fire.

The fire spread all over the mountains, and the speed of the flames burned was obviously faster than the speed of the retreat of the infantry army, and the infantry army had to turn over and fight hard, but Xu Wen and Yang Zhongwu were both brave and led the army to fight to the death. The Dingbei army relied on the advantage of weapons, terrain and numbers to consume the opponent's troops, and more than half of the casualties of the infantry army discovered the intention of the Dingbei army and tried to retreat, while the exits of the mountain roads on both sides were blocked by Wu Jue and Wang De, and the two armies also did not intend to fight in close combat, but used the terrain and combination to divide the infantry army.

More than 30 suns appeared in the sky again, and the infantry army completely lost its fighting spirit, and they found a way to kill the Dingbei army by themselves, only hoping that both sides would die together; the soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit, according to the command of the Dingbei army, discarded their weapons and squatted in front of the grass with their heads in their hands. The commander Li Renhe was about to kill, but was stopped by the commander Xi Yu: "We have already lost, why bother with the soldiers to die, they are also people with small families, give them a way to live." ”

Xi Quyu is the top twenty generals in the Western Xia platoon, and his tone is so desolate that Li Renhe's killing machine suddenly disappears without a trace, he is not a person who loves to kill, but he can't see his proud infantry army fall into such a situation. When the war was about to end, Xi Guyu committed suicide, and more than 20 generals including Li Renhe were killed in battle.

In the first battle of the Dingbian Army, the 5,000 people of the Western Xia Bubazi Army were annihilated, and the commander of the Xiqi Yu died in battle. Although Ren Dejing repelled the attacks of Yang Zhi and Wang Yu's armies, he lost his advantage on the Hengshan line, and was attacked by the Dingbei Army in one go, and the five walled forts along the way were broken by the Dingbei Army, and more than 4,000 defenders surrendered either to death. Ren Dejing had to order the whole army to attack, but the Mubo tribe attacked Wuyuan County, killing and wounding more than 2,000 Western Xia troops, and plundering more than 5,000 people and salt workers, as well as a large amount of salt.

When Ren Dejing led the army back, he was attacked by Yang Zhi all the way to Dingbian Village, and the situation in Wuyuan County suddenly deteriorated; By the time the 20,000 captive troops sent by Brother Richard arrived, Yang Zhi had already taken the initiative to burn the walled forts along the way and retreated, retreating with more than 20,000 cattle and sheep and more than 2,000 people captured by Western Xia. The Dingbei army lost more than 3,000 people, but wiped out 16,000 Western Xia troops along the way, obtained more than 4,000 war horses, plus the results of the Mubo tribe, Ren Dejing lost all the first line of defense and all the walled forts and 20,000 Western Xia troops.

In particular, the loss of salt workers among the common people stopped most of the work in Wuyuan County, and the loss of the 5,000-step army made Ren Dejing unable to explain to the above. The fighting spirit of the more than 20,000 mountain warriors in the mountains and Qiang has been greatly reduced, and even the Qiang people, who are not convinced by anyone on the Hengshan Mountains, are now apprehensive about the Dingbei Army; without the strong force of the Infantry Army, if the infantry troops from various places are temporarily transferred, the Western Xia will at least use 40,000 or 50,000 men to make up for this defensive line.
