These soldiers were not as good as Kang Cheng. At least Kang Cheng had undergone a tragic bloody battle. This is mainly because the Song army had suffered too many defeats before, not only that, but in fact, the Song army also had good performances during the Qingli period, such as Fulin Road, some local battles, such as the Battle of Kunlun Pass, but after repeated boasting by the civil officials, it seemed that the Song army was not good at all. This caused many soldiers to be afraid when they arrived on the battlefield.

Fortunately, Xia Shun took the lead and Fan Zhongyan and others established a huge "Tu Army" in Shaanxi, which improved the overall combat effectiveness of the Western Army.

Under Jia Yi's leadership, five hundred soldiers crossed the suspension bridge uneasy and came to the other side of the river.

Everyone was scared.

However, Zhong Yanzhijun was extremely cruel. Although 90% of the soldiers' faces turned pale, no one dared to retreat.

Xixia is very happy, grandma, you Song soldiers dare to go out of the city to fight. Without orders, the black cavalry rushed up.

The Divine Arm Bow appears.

The front % is not % wrong % has one hundred soldiers on the face to form a shield wall with long shields. The back 100 soldiers are carrying the original Song-style sabre to cover, and the three hundred soldiers behind each holding the Divine Arm Bow.

The size of the Divine Arm Bow seems to be the original Jue Zhang crossbow of the Song Dynasty. Its mystery lies in the small arrows, complex structures and luxurious materials. Jue Zhang crossbow is very common, and the soldiers of the Xixia have not paid much attention to it.

They were just outside the city of Huaining Village, and the distance was very close. Before the war horses could take shape, they entered a range of 300 steps.

"Let me go." Jia Yi shouted.

Three hundred crossbow arrows flew out quickly and were a little closer at this time, but the soldiers in front of Xixia laughed loudly. They shot arrows so far away. The Song army was stunned. The laughter had not ended. Some arrows fell on them.

In just one wave, dozens of Xia soldiers fell off their war horses.

The Song army was preparing for the second firing again, but the fatal one was that the Xixia people had not yet reported it, and the horse continued to run. What was even more fatal was that they were too close and the horse had not yet risen. It was too late to pull the horse, so it was impossible to speed up. The second wave of arrows came again.

Then there was another third wave, this time getting closer, almost 150 steps. It happened to enter the range of the most powerful range of the Divine Arm Bow. Some arrows were powerful, and even the war horses were pierced through.

The Xixia army's rushing was stopped.

Of course, it is impossible to defeat 30,000 Xixia Light Cavalry with 500 infantrymen.

Just when the rear of Xixia ordered another attack, Yan Da led 500 cavalry to run over the flank.

Five hundred vs 30,000, it seems like a death sentence. But what do you think? If these five hundred cavalry can always maintain their formation and not be dispersed during this high-speed running, then the attacks they will be limited. The Xixia people cannot launch a full-scale attack on the Song army from heaven to earth. The real battle is only those soldiers who come into contact with the Song army. In other words, no matter how many Western Xia troops are, the force of attacking the Song army can only be about twice.

It was just that he wanted to keep the formation from being dispersed, which was very difficult, but Yan Da took the lead in killing the enemy and miraculously did it. Five hundred Song troops were entering a no-man in the vast tens of thousands of Xixia light cavalry, and the five hundred infantry soldiers at the city gate were shooting continuously, which brought huge damage to the Xixia people in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that it was almost done, Yan Da slapped his horse and rushed towards the moat. The two armies slowly retreated to the village.

There was a lot of cheers in the city, but Liang Yi buried outside the city was extremely depressed.

The next day, Liang Yimang thought about it and had to order the withdrawal of Xifutu Village. He was frightened by the strong combat power of the Song army and the strange new crossbow. With the strength of Huaining Village, Liang Yimang was not worried. The Song army also deployed many troops in other villages in Suizhou. These troops were transferred out and their combat power was not weaker than Yan Da's cavalry. With tens of thousands of strange crossbows, these 30,000 troops might be left here.

Moreover, this little emperor of the Song Dynasty was not the two previous emperors. As long as the army of 30,000 was lost, the Song army would dare to take over Yinzhou when the troops in Yinzhou were empty.

At this time, Kang Cheng was also standing on the city wall. Yesterday he performed well and killed seven or eight Xixia soldiers in succession. However, the main battlefield continued to be controlled by the Xixia people. The imperial court may not admit this military merit.

But at this moment, his eyes were confused and he couldn't figure out why one thousand to 30,000, and 30,000 cavalry actually repelled 30,000 enemy cavalry.

There are many secrets, the biggest secret is that they are leaning against Huaining Village, and they can attack and retreat. In history, Guo Cheng tortured the people of Xixia alive and wanted to die.

However, Kang Cheng was more confused about what would happen below. It seemed that he performed extraordinaryly after two battles, but in two battles, he saw too many comrades falling down.

This involves another issue, reward. If the court rewards it, even if Kang Cheng is promoted to a deputy chief, then wealth and honor will be sought in danger, Kang Cheng will have motivation again. Without a reward, Kang Cheng will work hard like this. Don’t forget that there is a large family in his family and he will support him.

Yan Da didn't know Kang Cheng's inner thoughts.

The war continues.

There were more confused soldiers on the other side of the mountain. Although Li Yuanhao also failed, he finally had three great victories. However, now he was fighting with the Song Dynasty, but he was in reverse, especially in the Battle of Dashun City, where the casualties rate was almost close to the tragic Battle of Dingchuan Fortress in the Song Dynasty. They also had wives, children, and young people!

Liang Yimian noticed his subordinates' mood, but he didn't know that the real combat effectiveness of the Song army in Suizhou now was like Yan Da's five hundred cavalry, and with such crossbows, the entire Beiheng Mountain would have a crisis. Therefore, Liang Yimian suggested that Luowu City be built forty miles south of Yinzhou, so as to guard the Yinzhou gate with Xifutu Village, east and west.

After hearing this, Zhe Jishi discussed with Zhong Yan: "Most of Hengshan want to return to the Han Dynasty. If the soldiers leave the boundary and take Luowu City, the land in Henan will be invincible."

This Henan land broadly refers to the Xixia land south of the Yellow River, which is impossible. The Henan land mentioned by Zhe Jishi refers to the west of the Yellow River, north of the Suide Army, and south of the ancient Great Wall. This area may include Yinzhou, or even Shizhou in the Western Xia.

The situation in the northwest is quite tense now. Last year it was Qinzhou, and this year it was Qingzhou Suizhou, and even Weizhou will be affected. It seems that a war is about to break out.

Therefore, the court sent a big boss here. Han Jiang and another big boss in Shaanxi, Zeng Gongliang. However, when Zeng Gongliang was old, he could only stay in Chang'an and was not convenient for him to come to the front line for counsel. So Han Jiang came to Yanzhou as the Shaanxi Xuanfu Envoy.

The official position that normally manages military affairs along the way is to appease the envoy, but there are two more uncommon official positions. One is to recruit envoys. If peasant uprisings are suppressed and surrendered and rebelled, this official position will be set up separately in the Song Dynasty. Or it can be set up separately for military generals, but sometimes it will be tied together with appeasement and strategy envoys and used on the border commander who was a civil servant, then the power in the hands of this border commander will be infinite, but it will not be set up permanently.

In addition, this Xuanfu Envoy, who was in charge of proclaiming power, pacifying the border, regulating the generals and supervising the military affairs, was similar to the pacifying envoy, but the pacifying envoy was to recruit envoys, and the pacifying envoys were to appease the envoys. The prime ministers of the two prefectures must be the prime ministers.

After Han Jiang arrived in Yanzhou, he thought about it and finally saw a problem, that is, Jintang City.

If Dashun City is a nail inserted in the Western Xia, Jintang City is a nail inserted in the territory of the Security Army. As long as Jintang City is removed, the Security Army can be linked to Dashun City on the front line, and the situation in the northwest of Shaanxi will improve.

Han Jiang hit Jin Tangcheng with his idea.

At this moment, Zhong Yan found Han Jiang and said something that if he captured Luowu City and built six villages along the Yellow River, he would be able to connect with Fulin Road. In addition, the Hedong Road behind him was enough to control Xixia. It might not be necessary to control Xixia, but it would definitely pose a threat to Yinzhou. Zhong Yan was still very clear-headed here. He did not have the idea of ​​Yinzhou, even though Yinzhou was not far from Luowu City.

Han Jiang opened the map, and under Wang Ju's sextant, the Song Dynasty's map making became more and more standard. Han Jiang looked at it for a while and thought it made sense, so he agreed to Zhong Yan's approach.

But there is another problem, that is, the military strength of Fuyan Road is insufficient, so Zhong Yan had to borrow Hedong troops from Lu Gongbi.

Because of "Gouhe" and opposition to reform, Lu Gongbi got Taiyuan. Of course, he did not dare to stop Han Jiang and Zhong Yan's good things. He agreed to borrow troops, but he obscurely opposed Zhong Yan's approach to Yinzhou from Shentang Village in Linzhou and then attacked Luowu City. He also said that this road was mostly in the territory of Xixia. At first, Zhejishi sent troops to Xixia but did not defend himself. This time he would definitely be prepared. It would be best to go back to the road to march from Yonghe Pass, so that he could move safely.

Zhong Yan didn't listen.

This is not because of Zhong Yan's stubbornness, but because of the meaning of Zhong Yan's own use is not only to seize Luowu City, but to build six villages along the Yellow River along the north along the Yellow River. If you don't dare to send troops from this new road, how can you build a village in the future?

It cannot be said that Zhong Yan's idea was wrong. In history, the Song Dynasty successfully built several villages in this area and set up the Jinning Army, so it could attack Yinzhou at almost any time. Unfortunately, the Jin people came.

But now, this idea is a bit ahead of the curve.

However, Zhong Yan also prevented the ambush of the Western Xia people, so the troops were divided into two groups. He personally led the Hedong army to attack Luowu City. Zhe Jishi and Zhang Shiju led the troops behind the Fulin Road Army.

As Lu Gongbi expected, as soon as Zhong Yan sent troops, the people of Xixia found out, and they also divided into two groups.

Zhong Yan followed the Shentang New Road to Yinzhou, and the Western Xia set up an ambush in Tieyegou, and the Hedong soldiers were defeated. This also shows a problem. The Hedong army sent troops this time was mainly imperial guards of the imperial court, mixed with archers and a small number of local soldiers on Hedong Road. However, Hedong Road has been in peace for a long time, and these local soldiers are not strong in combat. As for the imperial guards, there is no need to rely on them. Seeing that they were about to be defeated, the Ningzhou regiment commander Liu Yan decisively stood up and asked the palace to come. Under the leadership of Liu Yan, the sharp cavalry fought with flying arrows like rain, which resolved the crisis.

This journey was very lucky and did not lose a big defeat, but the other road was very brilliant.

Zhong Yan was ahead and Zhe Jishi was behind. He was also targeted by the people of Xixia. The Xixia general Mebao Wu Liang led tens of thousands of cavalry to follow him and was ready to pounce on him at any time. Zhe Jishi pretended not to know, and when he saw that he had arrived in Yinzhou, just as Mebao Wu Liang led his army to cross a narrow pass halfway, Zhe Jishi suddenly turned around and came back.

The Xia army was defeated, and together with the main general Mebao Wu Liang were also killed.

The two armies joined together and rushed towards Luowu City again.

The lord of the Western Xia Luowu city, Duola, sent three thousand troops to station in Maduchuan, the north of the city, and sent Lunge Duyi to guard the Kengfuling. Zhong Yan asked the vanguard Gao Yongneng to lead 6,000 cavalry to fight, and he personally led his army to Kengduling to fight.

Gao Yongneng came to Madogawa, another tiger general. Tieyegou was almost defeated. Zhong Yan was angry, and Gao Yongneng was also angry. He faced the battle with hatred and won five battles.

When Duola saw the fierce Song army retreating to Luowu City, she refused to leave. It happened that Zhong Yan was defeated by the Shangbu Ridge, and Zhong Yan first sent someone to give Duola three pieces of women's clothes to insult him. Then the two armies gathered again and rushed to Luowu City. Seeing the Song army rolling in, the people of Xixia screamed, the Han soldiers arrived and collapsed without fighting.

Zhong Yandeluowu City.

But this is not enough. First of all, Luowu City has not been repaired yet. Even if it is repaired, it must rely on the terrain to rebuild. It is now an isolated city that penetrates deep into the enemy territory, only about forty miles from Yinzhou and about one hundred miles from Suide Army, which is not the original intention of Zhong Yan.

Therefore, Zhong Yan started a series of village-building plans with Luowu City, first building a village-building village-building at the Shangfuling Mountains, controlling Mahuchuan and Lishangping. Yongle City was built on the west side of the Yellow River on the edge of Luowu City. Funing Village was built on the former site of Funing City between Yongle City and Xifutu Village. However, a huge army was stationed in Xifutu Village, and Zhong Yan ordered Gao Yongneng and Zheshi to garrison the troops opposite the Dali River on the edge of Xifutu Village. After the Xifutu Village army came out, Gao Yongneng went out of the army and raided the back nest of Xifutu Village. When the Xifutu Village army did not leave, Gao Yongneng's army remained motionless. Then he divided the three springs, Tuhunchuan, Kaiguangling and Jialuchuan four forts, and handed them over to the Hedong Army fortress.

If Zhong Yan's plan could be successful, then Xifutu Village would become a sandwich biscuit. Without the attack of the Song army, the people of Xixia themselves would give up. In theory, they would also open up Fulin Road and Fuyan Road, forming an arc-shaped encirclement to Yinzhou. The Song Dynasty would immediately gain huge strategic advantages over Xixia.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this: so many castles must be built safely and can be safely guarded.

This not only prevents the Xixia people from counterattacking, but also requires a lot of labor. Therefore, Zhong Yan asked Yan Da and Zhao Pu to lead the army and some civilians to go to Funing Ancient City to build a village.

Kang Cheng also set out with the army, but he was extremely depressed. He came to Huaining Village to participate in a bloody battle, but went to Funing Village again. What is this? Below is Xifutu Village, where there are countless Western Xia army horses in the village, and above it is the Western Xia nest Yinzhou.

He looked at the vast mountains and wanted to shout wildly: "Is this a god-like matter? Am I cursed?" (To be continued...)
