In the front camp of the Xia army, a group of military generals were divided into two sides in Li Wu's central army tent; Li Wu said to everyone: "I have just received an investigation report. Three days later, the Song army will transport a large number of supplies to Shangnan City, with a total of 300,000 stones of food and grass, and a large number of military equipment. If Wang Kai gets this batch of supplies, it will not be a problem for him to work with us for a month. This battle will take a long time. Although the Song army has suffered heavy losses, our army has suffered a lot;

Therefore, this batch of baggage cannot fall into Wang Kai's hands anyway. Moreover, this batch of baggage is not only important to Wang Kai, but also to us. Our 200,000 army consumes a huge amount of daily consumption. With this batch of things, a few of us can solve the supply of food and grass for half a month."

"What the prince means is that we will cut off this batch of baggage?" asked a general.

"That's what I mean."

"Your Majesty, this may be difficult to deal with. With so many supplies, the Song army will definitely be escorted with heavy troops. At the same time, Wang Kai will also send troops to greet him. If you want to intercept this batch of supplies, you must invest at least tens of thousands of troops. Such a large-scale operation cannot be hidden from Wang Kai's eyes."

"I have never thought of hiding Wang Kai's eyes." A fierce light flashed in Li Wu's eyes and said, "This time I will not only intercept this batch of food and grass, but also destroy Wang Kai's army..." Li Wu then told everyone his combat plan.

The Xia army immediately took action and made arrangements according to Li Wu's combat plan. At the same time, Li Wu reported his combat plan to Li Liangzuo of Ziwei Palace, and asked Li Liangzuo that he could transfer a cavalry to assist. Now there is only one cavalry in the rear of the Guanzhong area, that is, the remaining 20,000 cavalry among the 30,000 imperial guards guarding the palace. Li Wu's request was approved by Li Liangzuo and 20,000 imperial guards were sent to Shangnan.

Two days later, at the south gate of Shangnan City, a large army of 100,000 left Shangnan City and headed eastward. After the last time the baggage was robbed, Wang Kai was very cautious and sent someone to stare at the Xia army. Therefore, as soon as the news of Xia army leaving reached Wang Kai's ears, Wang Kai realized the seriousness of this problem.

Wang Kai immediately summoned the generals and said, "I have received the news that 100,000 Xia troops have left Shangnan and headed east from the south gate. As for which general they go, you all know. What do you think about this?"

"General, the Xia army must have gone for food and grass; if we lose this batch of food and grass, it will make no sense for us to retake the entire Shangnan City."

"It's right." Wang Kai said; "Li Wu is actually forcing us to fight a decisive battle with him, but it's not certain who wins and loses in this battle!"

"What do you say about the general?"

"It is not easy for the Song army to eat this batch of materials." Wang Kai sneered; "Although this batch of materials is escorted by 30,000 troops on the surface, there are 50,000 people to support them; in fact, these 80,000 people are escorted by the army, and the so-called civil support is just a cover; with these 80,000 troops, this general is sending 100,000 troops, and the two sides have combined a total of 18 troops. I don't believe that I can't eat the 100,000 troops of the Xia army."

"General, you want to lead a 100,000 army to pick up the response. There may be more than 30,000 people left in the city when you go. What if the Xia army takes advantage of this attack?"

"I don't have high requirements. You only need to hold on for one day and keep this day no matter what. After one day, I will lead the army back." Wang Kai said.

"Yes, we will obey the general's order."

Seeing the generals who were arranged to defend the city leave, Wang Kai felt very uncomfortable. In fact, Wang Kai did not tell the truth just now. It was not easy for Shangnan City to fight to such an extent. Wang Kai also realized that no matter how much troops he invested, it was unlikely to retake Shangnan City. The entire Shangnan City was like a huge meat grinder, constantly devouring the vitality of the Song army. What's more, the Xia army has the ability to cut off the Song army's food route. If he persists, the Song army may have to wipe out this road. Therefore, in this case, Wang Kai decided to give up Shangnan City, of course, giving up Shangnan is only a small part of this plan.

After the Xia army advanced eastward, Wang Kai led his army eastward in the morning of the next day, so there was a certain distance between the Song and Xia armies; in addition, the Xia army's movement speed was much faster than that of the Song army. At the same time, the Song army's baggage brigade was marching westward, but it was under the surveillance of the Xia army.

"Prince, according to the spy, the Song army's baggage is less than thirty miles away, and we are expected to arrive this afternoon." Qin Hu reported to Li Wu.

"No matter what, you must eat this batch of supplies." Li Wu said greedily.

"Don't worry, everything is ready," Qin Hu said.

Li Wu said to Qin Hu: "This time I brought 40,000 cavalry and 60,000 infantry; Wang Kai's troops could not sit and wait for death, and they would definitely come to rescue. I will hand over these 40,000 cavalry to you. You will lead 50,000 cavalry to launch a siege against the Song army's baggage team. You must completely solve them as soon as possible. I will lead 60,000 troops to resist Wang Kai's reinforcements and support immediately after the Song army escorts are resolved. This time I will eat up all the troops that Wang Kai left the city."

"Yes, I will understand..."

In order to eliminate the Song army's escort soldiers as soon as possible, Qin Hu's cavalry occupied a favorable position. At the same time, Li Wu led 60,000 infantry to form a formation to meet the enemy Wang Kai's army. In the afternoon, the Song army's escort soldiers finally arrived. After the escort troops entered the ambush circle, Qin Hu did not order an attack immediately. Instead, after the Song army passed halfway, Qin Hu ordered: "The whole army attacked..."

The Song army was prepared for the attack of the Xia army. Therefore, when the Xia army just started to attack, the Song army immediately formed a formation and surrounded all the large chariots together to form a circular formation to fight the attack of the Xia cavalry. At the same time, the civil support escorted consciously organized it and took the bow and arrow to resist the attack of the Xia army. The Xia army's charge was hit by the Song army's crossbow troops and suffered a great loss.

Qin Hu led his men to rush once, and after being attacked by arrow rain, he retreated. Looking at the Song army's formation, Qin Hu scolded angrily: "Bastard, we have been fooled. This is not the Song army's baggage unit at all."

"What should we do now, General?" the deputy general asked Qin Hu.

"Report this matter to the prince quickly. The Song army had a conspiracy." Qin Hu said; "I will take people here to block the Song army."

"Yes, the last general takes the order..."

The Song army transported the goods this time, and the Song army's baggage was replaced after being transported to Neixiang. Although the vehicles were the same, the Song army's evacuation was equipped with a large number of arrows and thunder, and there were also bed crossbows. These were all killing weapons against cavalry. The Song army surrounded the car into a circle to effectively block the impact of the Xia cavalry, and the bows and crossbows and arrow feathers could constantly attack the Xia cavalry.

If you look at the map at this time, you will find that the Xia army is actually surrounded by the Song army. The 180,000 army of the Song army has completely surrounded the 110,000 army of the Xia army. This is obviously what the Song army had planned long ago. In order to deal with the cavalry with extremely strong field capabilities of the Xia army, the Song army specially prepared a chariot formation, and Li Wu suddenly fell into crisis.
