The Western Xia army reinforcements, with a force of more than 58,000, were stationed about 19 miles north of Zangdihe City, and were actually less than five miles away from the camp of the Song army Wang Dehou.

This is a very dangerous distance. Once the situation suddenly changes, no matter which side takes the lead, the time for the other side to respond is very pitiful. Moreover, because the Song army arrived at the battlefield early and had built a strong enough camp, the Xixia army was relatively at a disadvantage and more dangerous. Therefore, when choosing a camp, many Xixia generals carefully put forward opinions and suggested that Wei Mingcha Ge choose the camp farther and try to stay away from the Song army camp.

However, the military genius Wei Mingcha Ge firmly chose to set up a camp less than five miles away from the Song army camp. There are three reasons. First, Wei Mingcha Ge believes that the elite Western Xia army under his command have sufficient capabilities and can make sufficient response preparations in a short period of time to deal with all changes in the enemy situation; second, Wei Mingcha Ge has been fighting with the Song army for many years, is familiar with the situation of the Song army, and is also very familiar with the Song army general Wang Dehou. He knows that with Wang Dehou's courage, he will never dare to launch a risky assault with weak forces.

The third point is the most important. Through scouts and meticulous works, it was discovered that the camp of the Song army Liu Zhongwu was about six miles south of Zangdihe City, and Wang Dehou was fifteen miles north of Zangdihe City. The two camps of the Song army were more than twenty miles apart. Wei Mingcha Ge immediately determined that this was a great opportunity to defeat the Song army one by one, so he set up the camp as close as possible, intending to bite the Song army's troops. When Wang Dehou was passive and forced to retreat south, he immediately sent troops to pursue Wang Dehou's troops.

With the number one elite iron kite of the Western Xia army in hand, Wei Mingcha Ge certainly believed that he could easily defeat the Song army behind the palace, and then use his superior forces to kill Wang Dehou's central army brigade, and take the lead in severely attacking the Song army's troops.

Of course, given that the Song army's Liu Zhongwu's troops had another choice to attack Zangdihe City regardless of their recklessness, Wei Mingcha could only prepare for both hands early, that is, to order the soldiers to seize the time to build a large number of attack weapons, and to capture Wang Dehou's camp through a strong attack while the Song army insisted on division of troops.

Facts prove that Wei Mingcha Ge should be prepared for both actions. On the evening of the second day after Liu Zhongwu failed to attack Zangdihe City for the first time, the scouts who went south to explore the enemy situation sent news, saying that Liu Zhongwu sent a large number of soldiers to the mountain to cut wood and transported them back to the camp. At the same time, the troops of Wang Dehou of the Song army showed no signs of abandoning the camp and retreating. On the contrary, he seized the time to dig the trenches and deepened and widened the trenches. Wei Mingcha Ge immediately concluded, "The Song people must continue to attack Zangdihe City!"

After reaching this conclusion, Wei Mingcha Ge couldn't help but feel a little surprised and said, "No, yesterday I had already used the Iron Harrier to siege the Song people once, shattering the hope of the Song people to use strange weapons to capture Zangdihe City. Why didn't the Song people learn lessons and continue to attack Zangdihe City? The Song people are not afraid of my re-use of the same trick. When they next time they siege the city on a large scale, they will send Iron Harrier to attack their siege team?"

"Is it all this an illusion?" Under the slightest strangeness, Wei Mingcha Ge even came to another conclusion and thought to himself: "Did the Song people want to use the trick of hanging sheep and beating drums to pretend that Wang Dehou will continue to confront us, and are actually preparing to retreat secretly? Well, this has to be guarded against. After all, the distance between the two Song troops is not too far. If I am a little careless, it is indeed possible to withdraw Wang Dehou to a safe position at the minimum cost."

Thinking of this, Wei Mingcha Ge did not hesitate anymore. In addition to arranging double scouts to closely monitor Wang Dehou's camp, he also arranged for the army to take turns on tactical duty and was ready to send troops to pursue Wang Dehou, who might suddenly retreat. At the same time, he ordered his trump card Iron Harrier to eat every meal, prepare enough dry food and water at any time, and prepare to go out to attack the camp at any time.

However, Brother Wei Mingcha soon found that he was completely worried. After two days, the troops of Wang Dehou of the Song army did not abandon the battalion overnight, but instead continued to strengthen the battalion defense fortifications and put on a long-term confrontation with the Xixia army. In addition, Liu Zhongwu also went up the mountain to log wood every day, and it was obvious that he was working hard to build siege weapons. Brother Wei Mingcha felt even more strange, and he thought to himself: "Did the Song people really plan to gamble with me to bet that they can take Zangdihe City as soon as possible?"

Not only did Wei Mingcha Ge see through the tactical intentions of the Song army alone, several Xixia generals also saw the tactical plans of the Song army and spoke to Wei Mingcha Ge: "King of Jin, the intention of the Song people is very obvious. They want to use Wang Dehou to entangle us and buy time for Liu Zhongwu to attack and capture Zangdihe City. We must not let the Song people do what they want. The last general suggested that you might as well take this opportunity to launch a strong attack on Wang Dehou's camp, and use a strong attack to capture Wang Dehou's camp, and defeat the two Song troops one by one."

After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, considering that this is indeed a great opportunity to defeat the Song army one by one, although he was still a little confused about the tactical choice of the Song army, Wei Mingcha made up his mind. After a day of intense preparation, he personally led his army to launch a strong attack on the camp of Wang Dehou, the Song army, on the fourth day.

In this camp offensive and defensive battle, the Song army and the Xixia army fought very hard, and suffered a loss. The camp could not defend the city wall as strong as the city wall. After the Xixia army opened the road with trench bridge vehicles, the Song army soldiers under Wang Dehou could only defend the sheep and horse wall and fence defense line with flesh and blood, and fought for life and death at close range with the elite of the Xixia army. However, the Song army felt that its camp was not strong enough, but the Xixia army felt that the Song army's battalion defense fortifications were as difficult as iron walls. Every step forward had to pay the price of blood and life. Even if they had a certain advantage in combat effectiveness of individual soldiers, they were still suffering from heavy casualties and huge casualties by the Song army's battalion defense.

Finally, when the fierce battle was dark and after paying a heavy casualty price, the troops of Wang Dehou of the Song army struggled to retreat the main force of the Western Xia army, forcing Wei Mingcha Ge to give up the attack on his own. However, even so, after the Western Xia army retreated, the Song army was still so tired that there were few cheers. The sheep and horse walls and fences were filled with the bodies of Song soldiers and seriously injured people. Many battalions were destroyed in many places, and the military tents, which were extremely important for winter and snow protection, were also burned by the Western Xia army's rockets.

"Send someone to contact Liu Zhongwu and ask him to do something quickly. He thought I would like to promise that Zangdihe City would definitely be taken down within seven days. It's the fourth day today, why haven't he moved yet?" This was the roar of the Song army general Wang Dehou after the Western Xia army retreated.

"Our army attacked so fiercely, and Liu Zhongwu did not send one soldier and one soldier to the north to reinforce Wang Dehou. It seems that the Song people were determined to take Zangdihe City first and then seek a decisive battle." Wei Mingcha Ge also came to the conclusion, and at the same time, Wei Mingcha Ge quickly made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said: "Tomorrow, the soldiers will be fed with them, and the weapons will be added to the attacking camp, and the day after tomorrow will be launched on the Song people's camp! If you don't break the enemy camp, you will not withdraw your troops! It depends on who can't support it first!"

A day passed quickly. On the sixth day, only about 10,000 second-line troops were left to guard the camp, Wei Mingcha Ge personally led nearly 50,000 main forces of the Western Xia army to step out of the camp, and drove out of Wang Dehou's camp in a mighty manner, preparing to launch a full-scale attack on the Song army camp again. However, just as the Western Xia army was scheduling troops, a fast horse from the Xixia army suddenly rushed to the south. The scout rushed directly to Wei Mingcha Ge, knelt on one knee and clasped his fists and said, "Report to King Jin, the headquarters of the Song Dynasty Liu Zhongwu, the troops of the Song Dynasty, launched a large number of siege equipment and drove northward. It is very likely to launch a strong attack on Zangdihe City again!"

"Such coincidence, he actually chose to do the same day as us?" Brother Wei Mingcha was slightly stunned, then waved and shouted, "Try again, report immediately whenever there is any movement!"

"King Jin, let the generals go!" Wei Ming Dingdong couldn't wait to volunteer and said, "Let the generals go to lead the Iron Yaozi to reinforce Zangdihe City, and buy time for our main force to break through the Song people's camp!"

"No hurry, let's talk about the enemy situation after confirming the situation." Wei Mingcha Ge shook his head, and at the same time he was secretly surprised, "The Song people are really not afraid that I will send Iron Harrier to attack south again? Could they have some preparations, so they are so confident and dare to continue to send troops to attack Zangdihe City when we have already launched a large-scale move?"

There was such a question in my mind. I dare not be careless. Brother Wei Mingcha arranged another clerk who knew military affairs to go south and go to a high place south to steal the formation sketch of the Song army Liu Zhongwu's unit, wanting to understand the formation of the Song army Liu Zhongwu's unit, and then make a decision.

The cruel and bloody camp offensive and defensive battle was officially launched soon. Under Wei Ming Chage's personal command, various departments of the Western Xia army took turns to fight, covering the Song army camp with firepower such as bed crossbows, catapults and bows and crossbows. They also sent soldiers to carry trench bridges and trench boards to open up roads to launch close combat. During this period, the Western Xia army soldiers also fought while trying to fill the Song army's camp protection trenches and opened up more trench weapons. The Song army soldiers gritted their teeth and defended with the thin battalion fortifications, fighting with the Western Xia army to the darkness and blood flowed into a river.

During this period, Wei Ming Cha Ge naturally had to use his own mind and use both efforts. On the one hand, he had to orderly command the various units of the Xixia Army to take turns to attack the battalion and make offensive adjustments to the changes in the battlefield at any time. On the other hand, he had to care about the battlefield of Zangdihe City fifteen miles south. Through scouts and horses, he could master and understand the various changes in the battlefield of Zangdihe City, so as to judge whether the defenders of Zangdihe City could persist, and their mental energy and mental consumption was extremely large.

The changes in the enemy situation in the southern battlefield were also constantly coming like snowflakes. First, the scout of the Western Xia army confirmed that Liu Zhongwu continued his previous siege tactics, and also divided the army into two, and launched a fierce attack on Zangdihe City from the north and south. Then the Song army quickly used the numerical advantage of its troops to suppress the defenders of Zangdihe City with long-range weapons. Immediately afterwards, the Western Xia scout came to report that the Song army adjusted the siege tactics and did not rush to dispatch flying echelons and city-striking cars. He chose to go to battle with a pointed wooden donkey first, and dispatched no less than 30 pointed wooden donkeys to directly dig out the walls of Zangdihe City in one breath.

"How did our defenders deal with it?" Wei Mingcha asked calmly.

"Reporting to the King of Jin, he still used fire attack and stones to smash it." The scout replied: "Our defenders gathered a large number of torches and grass bundles to burn the strange siege weapons of the Song people, but the effect was still very poor. The Song people swept it away with a spear. The stones were hit on it without much effect, and they were directly slipped away."

"Oh no, I still haven't found a good solution."

Wei Ming Cha Ge secretly complained in his heart, but he had no choice but to do anything. Wei Ming Dingdong couldn't wait and said hurriedly: "King of Jin, let the generals go. Mo generals take the iron kite to destroy the crossbow team of the Song people and cover our defenders out of the city to destroy the siege weapons."

I don't know why, maybe it's the sixth sense. Brother Wei Mingcha subconsciously didn't want to adopt the reinforcement tactics of the last time, so Brother Wei Mingcha didn't speak, but just silently turned his gaze back to the battlefield in front of the attack camp. Unfortunately, because of the tenacious resistance of the Song army soldiers, although some of the first-row warriors of the Western Xia army had already broken through the Song army's sheep and horse wall defense line and approached the fence line, they were still blocked by the Song army soldiers with more and less, and there was no hope of entering the Song army camp. This is also normal. If the camp is so easy to attack, Brother Wei Mingcha had already rushed in with the elite Western Xia army a few days ago and killed all the Song army.

At this time, Wei Ming Cha Ge sent a clerk to the high ground in the south and rushed back quickly and presented a Song army formation map that was urgently drawn to Wei Ming Cha Ge. Wei Ming Cha Ge quickly took it and looked carefully. He saw that the Song army had arranged 12,000 troops in the north of Zangdihe City, including only about a thousand light cavalry, and a number of about two thousand heavy infantry. The main force exceeded 2,000, and the main force was more than 2,000. Among them, there were about four thousand heavy infantry and about two thousand cavalry.

"Why is it almost exactly the same as last time?" Wei Mingcha Ge wondered in his heart and said to himself: "Does the Song people not know how to learn lessons? How is this possible?"

"King Jin, let the generals go!" Wei Ming Dingdong took the initiative to ask for battle again and said, "For such a formation, the generals can rush the Song people's positions into chaos in less than an hour!"

Still the sixth sense reminded me that the situation was wrong. The cunning brother Wei Mingcha still refused to nod and agreed to the attack of Tie Harrier. He also put his hands behind his back and circled around the flag formation, thinking nervously, "Why didn't the Song people learn a lesson? Did they arrange a trap for the Iron Harrier drill for us? Also, if I don't take action, how long can Zangdihe City last? How long will it take for the Song people to drill through the seven-foot-thick Zangdihe City wall?"

"Or what if I give up Zangdihe City?" Wei Mingcha even had this idea in his mind and said to himself: "I will fight with the Song people, and I will ignore Zangdihe City and take down Wang Dehou's camp with all my might?"

"King of Jin, can't hesitate anymore!" Wei Ming Dingdong said impatiently again: "If the Song people take down Zangdihe City and the news will reach here, our morale will be in trouble. But on the contrary, if we can rescue Zangdihe City and kill the Song people's army in the south, we can not only inspire our morale, but also attack the Song people here!"

Wei Ming Dingdong's words reminded Wei Ming Cha, forcing Wei Ming Cha to say in his heart: "This is right. If we rescue Zangdihe City and disrupt the Song army under Liu Zhongwu's command, it will not only boost our morale, but also attack Wang Dehou's morale, which will help us succeed in the attack. But on the contrary, if there is any mistake in Zangdihe City, my morale will not only be over. Wang Dehou will definitely defend to the end when he sees victory!"

Considering the pros and cons, Brother Wei Mingcha gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Wei Ming Dingdong!"

"The last one is here!" Wei Ming Dingdong immediately bowed his fists and bowed.

"Remember three points!" Wei Mingcha Ge said loudly with concern: "First, you must not take risks to pursue. You are lured into a narrow terrain by the deception of the Song people! Second, you must not risk attacking the Song people's positions with heavy infantry protection! Third, you must not be greedy for merit and disrupt the Song people's light infantry. The Zangdihe City defenders who covered us destroyed the Song people's siege weapons and must retreat immediately! Don't forget that our Iron Harrier soldiers are also humans. No matter how powerful the war horse is, there is a time when the horse power is exhausted, you must learn to retain your physical strength!"

"Don't worry, King Jin, I will keep it in mind and will never be careless!" Wei Ming Dingdong agreed loudly, and asked even more impatiently: "King King Jin, how many iron kites will I bring this time? Or will I only bring half of them?"

In the midst of lightning, Wei Mingcha made a decision that had a great impact on the pseudo-Xia regime and gritted his teeth and said, "No, bring all three thousand iron kites with you! I don't believe it anymore. Even if the despicable and shameless Song people have any conspiracy, how can we do all our iron kites?"

Wei Ming Dingdong, who had been itchy for a long time, cheered and agreed. However, at this moment, a cavalry general of the Western Xia army stepped out and said, "King of Jin, the last general asked for an order to lead a team of light cavalry to assist Tie Yaozi in the battle and cover General Wei Ming to attack the enemy's formation!"

"No, no need for your help." Wei Ming Dingdong, who was eager to achieve success, quickly shook his head and said, "There are cavalrymen on the Song people. You follow me. The Song people's cavalry dare not do anything to me, but they will definitely not let you go. Once you are entangled and dragged by the Song people's cavalry, I will stumbling in order to save you."

Considering that the light cavalry of the army followed the south, it is indeed very likely to become the key target of the Song cavalry. Once they are in crisis, they may really affect the slightly weakened Iron Harrier. Brother Wei Mingcha nodded and said, "Wei Ming Dingdong is right. Just like last time, let Iron Harrier go alone."

Wei Ming Dingdong cheered and agreed, immediately rushed back to the team, leading three thousand iron kites to move out in full swing, leading the horse to walk south, saving horsepower, slowly approaching the battlefield of Zangdihe City fifteen miles south, like a group of wild beasts and tigers, flowing with greedy saliva, gradually trotting towards the flock of sheep in the south...

Of course, there were also scouts from the Song army, Kuaima, who were also sent to closely monitor the actions of the main forces of Xixia. Not long after the Three Thousand Iron Harriers Army was dispatched, the Song army's scouts also quickly reported the news to Liu Zhongwu. After hearing this, Liu Zhongwu looked grim and said slowly after a while: "Fish, it has finally been hooked. Next, it depends on whether we caught this big fish that can eat people or was eaten by this big fish."

At the same time, among the Song cavalry crowd in the north of Zangdihe City, Zhao Rong also took out the sachet that Mi Ning asked Liang Hongyu to give him, put it to his mouth and kissed it softly, and whispered: "When I go back, the ace Iron Harrier of the pseudo-Xia thief army is the dowry I will marry you."

"Brother Zhao, you can't ride. Iron Harrier is here later. Don't take the risk. Just hide behind." Liu Qi's advice came from the side, and said, "Don't worry, if you make a contribution, you will naturally have a share. I'm not the kind of person who eats alone."
