Chapter 21 Section VII

Song Yanzhou. Liu Hang, the magistrate of Yanzhou, and Zhao Tingzhi, the general judge, led hundreds of cavalry troops. They reined in their horses and stood outside Yanzhou City, overlooking the southwest. At this time, on the official road about 30 miles away from Yanzhou, a carriage surrounded by nearly a thousand people was moving slowly and quickly towards Yanzhou City.This troop has bright armor and brightly colored flags, and looks majestic, but in the eyes of those who have experienced battles, they can tell at a glance that this is just a guard of a high-ranking official.But what no one knew was that the senior official sitting in the carriage turned out to be Shi Yue, the founding marquis of Xinhua County and comfort envoy of Shaanxi Road who had just been reprimanded by the emperor.

"Liu Hang, the magistrate of Yanzhou, was born as a Jinshi and quite talented as an official. He once went to Xixia as an envoy. After Junshi entered the Political Affairs Hall, he was transferred to Yanzhou as the magistrate..." In the carriage, Pan Zhaolin introduced the situation of Yanzhou officials to Shi Yue expressionlessly, and added: "His son Liu Anshi, a Jinshi The first time he was not an official, he studied in Baishuitan for a year, and later became a disciple of Sima Junshi, and he was also a key figure in "Xijing Review." When Shi Yue heard Liu Anshi's name, his eyes lit up suddenly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help showing a knowing smile, and he muttered softly: "So it's the father of 'Dian Shanghu'."

Pan Zhaolin didn't hear Shi Yue's words, and continued: "The general judge Zhao Tingzhi is a Jinshi and a student officer. He is known for his incorruptibility and ability. He was transferred to Yanzhou as a general judge for only one year." "Both of them are civil servants." Shi Yue couldn't help but whispered. "Although Zhizhou and Tongpan belong to civil officials, the state capitals on the border have always been appointed by military officials turned civilian officials." Pan Zhaolin also shook his head, "Sima Junshi transferred Liu Hang to Yanzhou. It is for the tranquility of the border. But the current situation... Fortunately, neither of these two people is considered incompetent."

Seeing Pan Zhaolin's expression, Shi Yue smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry too much. Yanzhou has the Third Army of the Zhenwu Army, the Third Battalion of the Shenwei Battalion, and the Yunyi Army and the Shenwei Battalion stationed in Suide City. The fifth battalion has more than 10,000 Xiang troops, so the defense should be more than sufficient." "The defensive force is not enough." Pan Zhaolin frowned and said, "The Xixia people are mobilizing troops in Tiandu Mountain this time, and they are very aggressive. There are five routes to send troops from Tiandu Mountain: to attack Xi from Huizhou and Lanzhou in the west Go east through Xiaoguan and enter Weizhou to the north to attack Huanzhou; or directly attack the Security Army and threaten Yanzhou; southwest from Deshengzhai and Jingbianzhai to attack Qinzhou; southeast through Tongyuanzhai and Wuyanqianxia Gorge Xiacheng. The most worrying thing is that there seems to be a Xixia army gathering in the Yinxia area, so even Suide City and Yanzhou will not be safe."

"They can gather troops and attack in six directions, but we have to fortify everywhere." Shi Yue naturally knew the power of it.After the news that the Xixia people gathered at Tiandu Mountain came, Shi Yue immediately canceled the inspection plan and went directly to the nearest Yanzhou, and at the same time ordered the state capitals along the border to enter a state of combat readiness.But with this kind of passive defense, life is not easy for the defensive side. "Among the six directions, the Xihe area is the least likely to be attacked, and it is also the least afraid of being attacked." Pan Zhaolin calmly analyzed the current situation, "With Li Xian and Wang Hou in the Xihe area, The local garrison, no matter whether it is the reorganized Shenrui army or the unreorganized forbidden army, or the local soldiers and foreign soldiers, have all experienced battles, and most of the generals are Wang Shao's old troops. If the Xixia people attack Xihe, they will definitely not be able to please. Go. Besides, the area is vast and sparsely populated, so even if Xixia invades, it will not cause me much loss—I believe that Xixia invaded in retaliation this time, rather than a strategic attack.”

In the bumpy carriage, Shi Yue's head moved slightly, he didn't know whether it was an expression of agreement or just a natural reaction of the body. "The second is Qinzhou." "Qinzhou?" Shi Yue was taken aback. He didn't know much about military affairs, so in his opinion, Qinzhou had always been the weakness of defense. "That's right, it's Qinzhou." Pan Zhaolin nodded affirmatively, and explained his reasons, "Although Qinzhou's forbidden army has not been reorganized and its defense force is relatively weak, if the Xixia people rashly attack Qinzhou, it will be an offense against the great strategist. Bogey. As long as Pingxia City is in the hands of my Song Dynasty, the Xixia people will not have the courage to attack Qinzhou without scruples. Liang Yibu no longer knows about soldiers, and he will understand that it is possible when there are enemy strong cities and heavy troops in the back. led to the annihilation of the entire army."

Shi Yue nodded: "I see." "But for the rest of the places, it's hard to say where the Xixia people will attack." Pan Zhaolin frowned again when he said this, "Pingxia City is a serious problem for the Xixia people. Maybe it's just to get rid of this thorn in the flesh. At present, Pingxia City and the newly built Lingping Village are only defended by Zhongyi Zhenwu Army and some Xiang troops. The main force is Zhong Er's Dragon Guard Army. Although Zhong Er is known as the elite, and Zhong Er is also known as a famous general, it is hard to be optimistic about whether he can defend against the Xixia people. As for Suide City, the main force is Zhong Gu's Yunyi Army and Shenwei Battalion The third battalion is not strong either."

"Who is the commander of the Third Army of the Yanzhou Zhenwu Army?" "It is Yao Dalang and Yao Si of the 'Guanzhong Eryao' who are as famous as the 'Three Kinds'." Shi Yue was a little relieved, he knew that Yao Xi was famous for being brave and good at fighting, and he was famous in the Western Frontier. He was one of the most famous generals in the Western Army.With him in Yanzhou, at least it is much more reassuring than the two civil servants. "It would be great if we could know the attack route of the Xixia people." Shi Yue secretly sighed in his heart.It is really a last resort to fortify and disperse troops like this.In fact, all the civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty, including Shi Yue, knew that as long as the Xixia people really assembled a large army to attack, no matter which way they attacked, the Song army would be at a disadvantage and could only rely on the city wall to stand firm and wait for help.Perhaps the only thing to be thankful for is that the Xixia people lack the ability to fight for a long time.Shi Yue, who was feeling emotional in his heart, suddenly heard Pan Zhaolin also sigh slightly, and said in a very soft voice: "It would be great if we could get out of the snow."

Shi Yue was taken aback for a moment, then lifted the curtain with a wry smile, glanced at the sky outside the car, and unconsciously shook his head.It's really unlikely to snow now.He moved his eyes to the inside of the car, lingered on Pan Zhaolin for a while, and suddenly thought that even Pan Zhaolin hoped for God's help. It seems that it is difficult to expect the officials and people of the Song Dynasty to have optimistic expectations for this war up. There was a rush of horseshoes outside the carriage, followed by the noisy neighing of people and horses, Shi Yue frowned imperceptibly, and was about to ask, when Shi Jian said outside: "My lord, there is an urgent military situation. "

"Stop!" Shi Yue hurriedly ordered, before the carriage came to a complete stop, he opened the curtain and bent over to stretch half of his body out of the carriage. I saw a soldier already knelt in front of the car, and seeing Shi Yue coming out, he hurriedly said loudly: "Kowtow to Shuai Shi. The villain is ordered by General Zhong of Qingzhou to report the emergency military situation to Shuai Shi." Hand over the wooden box with the seal of Guanfang. Shi Jian quickly took it and handed it to Shi Yue. "Thank you, get up." Shi Yue took the wooden box and retracted it into the car. The coachman waved his whip, and the team continued to move.Only the messenger stood there in a daze - he couldn't accept Shi Yue's style for a while, and was even stunned by the words "hard work".Shi Yue's soldiers had long been used to this kind of thing, and they didn't bother to make fun of his strangeness, so they just gave him a hand and asked him to continue with the team.

In the carriage, after reading the report, Shi Yue said lightly, "It's already certain that it's Lord Xia's personal conquest." Pan Zhaolin nodded slightly. It was not too unexpected that Lord Xia went on the expedition.But Shi Yue's next words changed Pan Zhaolin's expression, "Sima Chunfu has returned. He took Lingzhou Road and arrived in Huanzhou a few days ago. At this time, he came to Yanzhou to calculate the time. Or we can meet in Yanzhou today." "Lingzhou Road? The young master is saying that Sima Chunfu sneaked into Xixia?" "I've been to Xingqing Mansion." Shi Yue couldn't hide his excitement, "He will present important information." Three days later. The camp of the Third Army of the Zhenwu Army in Yanzhou.Now it has temporarily become the Xingyuan of the Shaanxi Road appeasement envoy.The soldiers of the appeasement division guarded the small courtyard so tightly that not even a mouse could get in.Experienced people can guess from the expressions of the soldiers that they are facing a big enemy. At this time, an important military meeting is going on in Xingyuan. Shi Yue's eyes swept over everyone's faces.After arriving in Yanzhou three days ago, Sima Mengqiu had indeed arrived in Yanzhou.After meeting Shi Yue, Sima Mengqiu reported Wen Huan's situation and the information brought back from Wen Huan to Shi Yue. If Wen Huan was really a fraudulent surrender, then the information Sima Mengqiu brought back would be invaluable!Once the real intention of the Xixia Army is grasped, it is not just as simple as being convenient for defense.Shi Yue has always believed that passive defense has no way out. But if Wen Huan's information is wrong, once credulous, the consequences will be disastrous. Shi Yue, who has always believed in "the boat that sails ten thousand years with care", had to make a gambling decision this time. In the camp of the Third Army of the Zhenwu Army, the four characters "Have not reported the enemy" can be seen everywhere.Shi Yue knew that it was Yao Si's handwriting.Yao Xi's father, Yao Bao, died in battle in Dingchuan when Yao Xi was young.Raised by a widowed mother, Yao Si is a well-known filial son in the army, and at the same time, a general who has a deep hatred for the Xixia people.What he never forgets is the destruction of Xixia and revenge for his father. In order to remind himself not to forget that his father has not taken revenge, Yao Xi engraved the words "Courage not taken" on all the utensils in the places where he haunts.Shi Yue had heard early on that every time he fought with the Xixia people, Yao Si was also desperate and extremely brave. However, since he was transferred to Yanzhou, the chances of conflict with the Xixia people have decreased, and Yao Si has always been frustrated. Frantically training troops, the thing many soldiers fear most is being transferred to the Third Army of the Zhenwu Army. Shi Yue's eyes fell on Yao Xi. Yao Xi, who was wearing heavy armor, was a little short in stature, but very strong, with a dark complexion, and a pair of eyes that couldn't hide a dangerous excitement. Seeing that Shi Yue was paying attention to him, Yao Si hastily concealed his excitement slightly, but the unruliness in his bones made this concealment even more obvious. Shi Yue smiled imperceptibly, and moved his eyes to the other three. Liu Hang, the prefect of Yanzhou, and the Yunyi Army all command Shi Chonggu, Zhizhou Chong'e, the governor of Gyeongju, and Liu Shunqing, deputy lieutenant of Zhenwu, a famous general of the Western Army who has a similar experience to Yao Xi. He died in the battle of Haoshuichuan, and Liu Shunqing himself had a bit more Confucian temperament than Yao Si.Liu Shunqing's current identity is the Deputy Commander of the Third Army of the Zhenwu Army. "All the generals have heard the information brought by the staff hall." Shi Yue glanced at Sima Mengqiu who was sitting in the camp with a smile. On the huge sand table. "I would like to hear what you think of the generals?" "Shi Shuai!" A loud voice sounded in the camp, and everyone's eardrums felt a shock, and they couldn't help but focus their eyes on Yao Si who was speaking. "The general thinks that since we know that the western thieves want to attack Suide City, we can gather a heavy army in Suide City and stand ready to give Li Bingchang a little bit of trouble." Shi Yue took it as usual, and wanted to eat him alive, even though Shi Yue knew countless people, his scalp became numb after seeing him, so he quickly and quietly shifted his gaze to Zhong Gu. Zhonggu was not as belligerent as Yao Si, and knowing that his defense zone would become the main direction of Xixia people's attack was not a happy thing for this big man in Guanzhong.Seeing Shi Yue staring at him, he quickly leaned over and said, "May I ask Shi Shuai, where did the information from the staff office come from? Is it accurate?" His gaze was aimed at Sima Mengqiu. Sima Mengqiu was about to answer, but he heard Shi Yuezao say first: "More than 60% may be reliable." "The closest and most important thing to a general is Jian." Zhong Gu said loudly, "Shi Shuai said that he is only 60% reliable. Could it be that he is against Jian?" "If there is a mistake in the information, the staff office is willing to take full responsibility." Sima Mengqiu never thought of escaping responsibility. "This responsibility cannot be shouldered by the staff hall." Zhong Er said bluntly. Shi Yue's face darkened, and he said with a cold face: "The Sanya and the Zhifangguan have their own responsibilities, the general does not have to go overboard." "Yes." Zhong Er bowed unwillingly. "According to the general, the western thieves' deployment of troops in Tiandu Mountain this time is quite different from the usual ones. There is no sign of mobilization of troops from Yinxia and other states. If there is a large-scale invasion, this will not be the case. Western thieves always like to gather Heavy troops attack a little bit, in order to win the first battle; if the first battle fails, retreat immediately. Since it is Xia Zhu's personal conquest this time, there is a large army that has not moved. Judging from these signs, the general thinks that the information from the staff hall is reliable. Believe me. The western bandits mean to enter the bandits in three ways, and the other two are mostly just bluffing to contain our army. The focus of their attack is Suizhou!" The speaker was Liu Shunqing. "This alone is not enough to prove that the main attack direction of the western thieves is Suizhou." Zhong Er cast a disdainful glance at Liu Shunqing with a proud attitude.He is a veteran for many years, and he doesn't think highly of a young general like Liu Shunqing.Although Liu Shunqing's resume is quite impressive, after being a martyr, he has made numerous achievements in battle, and he has been admitted to the martial arts school as an excellent student. He is a rare general in the Song army who can write his own memorials.But what Zhong Er dislikes the most is the general who can write his own memorial. "There is one more thing that can be proved." Liu Shunqing replied neither humble nor overbearing, "The spies in Yinxia have cut off contact since ten days ago. So far, no one knows what happened to Yinxia... So, the last general is almost It is certain that in Yinxia and Xiazhou, the western thieves are gathering heavy troops. On the one hand, they are making great fanfare, but on the other hand, they are deliberately quieting down, the meaning of the western thieves is obvious." "Wouldn't it be true if you hear the false, and the false if you hear the truth?" Zhong Er retorted. "The last general also believes in General Liu's judgment." Zhong Gu interrupted Zhong Er's words, he didn't even look at his younger brother, just bowed slightly to Shi Yue, and said loudly: "All the spies sent by the last general are also lost. audio." "En." Shi Yue nodded, suddenly a little excited in his heart, it was unimaginable for him to personally preside over such an important military meeting.Seeing several well-known generals in the west border respectful to him, his words can mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which are related to the lives of tens of thousands of people, at this moment, Shi Yue felt that it was not his responsibility , but a sense of satisfaction. Yes, it is the sense of satisfaction! Shi Yue was startled suddenly, and suddenly realized that his state of mind was extremely dangerous, he quickly calmed down, and asked in a deep voice: "Then how do you generals think we should deal with the enemy?" Zhong Gu stood up, his burly body made everyone feel a sense of coercion, Yao Si subconsciously backed away, clenched his fist secretly, but saw Zhong Gu's finger pointing at the sand table, and said loudly: "Mo The general thinks that since the western thieves want to attack Suide City, we can fulfill their wish and treat Suide City as a strong city. At the same time, we will secretly transfer the Dragon Guard Army and a part of the Zhenwu Army to Tuyanshui..." "What?!" Zhong Er looked at Zhong Gu in surprise. At this time, he didn't care that Zhong Gu was his elder brother, and objected loudly: "As the magistrate of Qingzhou, I have the responsibility to guard the land. There is no order from the Shufu. Dare to lead the army to leave the country at this time?!" "It's only natural for the various armies to support each other. Why do you need to send an order from the privy? You are here to rescue, not to be stationed." Zhong Gu pushed back coldly. "Huanqing is too far away from Suide City. And if the Dragon Guards leave, Huanqing will be like an empty city." Zhong Er was not convinced. Although Zhong Gu was his elder brother, he had his own. Selfishness. "When the Xixia people assembled a large army to attack Suide City, what if I led the army to take the initiative to attack and plunder Weizhou?" It's just that this kind of wishful thinking is impossible to say publicly. "Aren't there still He Weizhi's Huanzhou volunteers and thousands of Xiangjun?" "What can they do?" "The last general has a plan." Liu Shunqing stood up, didn't look at him, just leaned over and said to Shi Yue: "Since we want to concentrate our forces to deal with the western thieves, and the western thieves want to attack Pingxia City tomorrow to contain our army, then the last general He thought that he could follow the plan and send thousands of troops to prepare banners and travel non-stop between Yanzhou, Chang'an and Pingxia City. When he went to Pingxia City, he played with great fanfare; The illusion of increasing troops in Xia City. Huanqing is located between Yanzhou and Pingxia City. Since there is a large army passing through, the western thieves will not dare to act rashly. Fanfare and fanfare, the false appearance of rallying to Huanqing, is in fact a central response. In this way, the western thieves must be suspicious. At the same time, the Security Army, Yanzhou, and Suide City all fortified their walls and cleared the wilderness, putting on a closed city guard. As long as the western thieves think that all our troops are gathered in Pingxia City, they will strengthen their confidence and raise their troops to seize Suizhou." "This is a clever plan." After listening to Zhong Gu, he couldn't help but praise. Liu Shunqing stared at Shi Yue, hesitantly said: "But..." "General Liu, please tell me..." "Forgive me at the end of the day to be bold. For the heart of Jianxi thief, it is best..." Liu Shunqing's suggestion made everyone dumbfounded. Western Xia. Yinzhou. Next to Lord Xia Bingchang's cavalry, State Prime Minister Liang Yibu, Wei Mingrong, Li Qing, Wen Huan and other generals followed closely, and there were 160,000 cavalry around them. "Have the people of Song discovered the whereabouts of our army?" Bingchang looked to the southeast, looking high-spirited.In his opinion, these 160,000 steps are enough to level Suizhou. Liang Yibu smiled triumphantly and said, "This time, the troops are divided into three groups. Liang Yibu will gather 60,000 troops to attack Pingxia City in Tiandu Mountain; As expected, Shi Yue was fooled, thinking that Daxia wanted to take back Pingxia City and report Zongling's revenge. According to the report from the spies, the Song army has assembled all the main forces to Pingxia City, and even Shi Yue went to Qingzhou to supervise the battle in person." "Shi Yue went to Gyeongju?" Bingchang asked a little disappointed. "That's right. Speaking of which, among the civil servants of the Eastern Dynasty, Shi Yue was considered courageous. The spies saw his Xingyuan and his personal guards in Qingzhou, and someone clearly saw Di Yong in Huanzhou." Liang Yi shook his head. Nodding his head, he said triumphantly, "Now that our army is besieging Suizhou, even if Song Jun wanted to return to the army to rescue him, he would be beyond his reach." He didn't notice the strange look in Wen Huan's eyes behind him. "In that case, let's send troops to Suizhou!" Liang Yibu was about to agree, but someone said loudly: "Wait a minute!" Liang Yi followed the prestige, but the speaker was Wei Mingrong. "Your Majesty." Wei Mingrong rode his horse in front of Bingchang, and said in a loud voice: "I think that although Shi Yue and Liu Hang are civil servants, Zhong Gu and Yao Si are not incompetent. If they are in Huanqing and Pingxia cities The arrangement is just a strategy of suspicious soldiers, but in Suide City, wait for them to ambush in a fortified city, your majesty will go here, I'm afraid there will be bad luck..." "Wei Mingrong, how dare you talk nonsense and disturb our army's morale!" Liang Yibu yelled loudly before Wei Mingrong could finish speaking. Wei Mingrong turned to face Liang Yibu, and shouted sharply: "This dynasty has been established, and anyone who goes out with a large army must first do divination. This time, the divination is not clear, how can we not be careful?!" Liang Yibu was furious, and was about to explode, but he heard Bingchang say: "President of the country, let the old general finish." Liang Yibu could only swallow this breath bitterly, and heard Wei Mingrong say: "Your Majesty, please let the minister lead you." 10,000 cavalry, go to Mizhi Village as the vanguard, and find out the truth of the Song army." "Your Majesty, this is an old saying." Li Qing also said beside him.For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell why. "Forget it, the old general led 10,000 cavalry to Mizhi Village to test the Song Army in Suide City." Suide City. This city is a rare city in the northwest region, because its newly repaired part is made of cement, so it looks stronger. The Yunyi Army's Dapeng Spreading Wings Army Flag and the "Zhong" Shuai flag were mixed together, and they were inserted all over the city wall of Suide City. People who didn't know thought that the troops guarding the city were the Yunyi Army. Wearing an iron armor inside and a red robe outside, Zhong Gu stood on the city wall with his lips tightly pursed, looking at the Xixia army crossing the river in the distance, with a subtle sneer in his eyes. "General, is there an error in the information?" The deputy commander of Zhonggu was speaking. He saw that the Xixia army coming across the river were all old and weak soldiers, and his eyes popped out in surprise. "If it was really a feint attack, the Western Thieves would not have sent these people to die." Zhong Gu said coldly, "Call Wu Anguo." "yes." Not long after, Wu Anguo, who had been demoted from rank nine, strode up to Zhonggu. He gave a military salute to Zhonggu and shouted: "See General." "Look outside the city." Zhong Gu didn't take a direct look at Wu Anguo, his eyes kept staring outside the city. Wu Anguo, who had been taught a lesson in the hard labor camp, was already much more honest, but the arrogance in his bones had not restrained in the slightest.He glanced at the Xixia army, and said coldly: "It's just the ears of those who are sent to death." "I'll give you a chance." Zhong Gu said lightly, "Go to the first battalion to hold the flag and drive them down the river." "Yes." Wu Anguo's voice contained no emotion. Wei Mingrong cursed Liang Yibu in his heart, while looking at the "vanguard" troops in his hand with a wry smile.Liang Yibu unceremoniously allocated 10,000 old, weak and disabled soldiers to Wei Mingrong.With this army to fight "Xiao Yinjun"?Wei Mingrong really didn't have any hopes.But it is impossible not to do the things that one asks for. The Xixia army had just crossed halfway across the river, and the people were already on their backs, and they were in a mess. Wei Mingrong was crying secretly, and then heard three cannon shots, and the gate of Suide City opened wide, and thousands of cavalry from the Song Army poured out of the city. The leader held high the flag of the roc spreading its wings, and rushed towards the troops who had crossed the river. "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" Wei Mingrong immediately gave the order to blow the trumpet, but the troops crossing the river ignored the commander's command at all. Although the bows and arrows of the Xixia army were proficient, the arm strength of the old and weak soldiers was not enough. The bows and arrows flew towards the cavalry of the Song army, but they could not penetrate the thick armor and fell to the ground weakly.What's more, the bow was fired too early, so that the bow and arrow fell weakly far away from the Song army.The Xixia warriors who hurriedly set up their bows again immediately realized that their mistakes were fatal—the Song Army cavalry did not give them a chance to fire calmly again. Xia Jun in the platoon was shot down one after another. Almost in an instant, the cavalry of the Song Army was approaching.Like a sharp knife cutting a piece of cloth, the raised saber mercilessly divided the unformed Xixia people into two halves. With a rumbling sound, the army cavalry interspersed unscrupulously in Xia Jun's formation, and every time they swung their knives, it would be accompanied by splashes of blood. Wei Mingrong closed his eyes, not daring to watch the tragedy on the other side of the river. The news of the striker's setback quickly reached Xia Zhu Bingchang's ears. The furious Bingchang couldn't hold back any longer, and the 160,000 Xixia army, like a huge tide, rushed towards Suide City, which was like a lonely reef in the sea. This time the forward leader was replaced by Li Qing. But God didn't particularly favor Li Qing.Although Wei Mingrong didn't have any accidents when he crossed the Wuding River, it doesn't mean that it was the same when Li Qing led his army across the river. A centurion responsible for swimming across the river and building a pontoon bridge did not know what they encountered when they swam to the middle of the river. They only heard several loud bangs, and dozens of Xixia soldiers died.The bodies of several people were blown into several pieces, and the broken limbs were thrown onto the shore.The surviving soldiers swam back frantically, never refusing to enter the water again. No one in Xixia knows what a "mine" is. In the eyes of the Xixia people, the Wuding River, which is broken by sand and torrents and whose depth is uncertain, immediately becomes more mysterious. Fortunately, the Song army's mines were not enough to cover the entire river. Under the pressure of the sword, the Xixia people paid hundreds of lives and almost a day before finally finding a safe river section. It is impossible for Suide City, which was built by the river, to be surrounded by Xixia people without a powerful navy, but hundreds of thousands of troops stationed under the city, with banners, swords and guns that can't be seen at a glance, are enough to make soldiers who have experienced many battles They are all timid. If the people standing on the wall of Suide City at this time were not soldiers of the Third Army of the Zhenwu Army, even Zhonggu didn't know what would happen. Every time the Xixia people shouted "Long live", several tiles could be shaken off the houses in Suide City.Standing on the city wall, looking at the Xixia people all over the mountains and plains, Zhonggu smacked his lips and cursed: "Grandma's!" The Battle of Suide City began on October 21st in the tenth year of Song Xining.
