In the first half of the night, the Song army charged very fiercely, and they seemed to want to take advantage of the darkness to break out of the Xixia army's encirclement.
After midnight, the Xixia army mobilized troops from all directions and set up heavy obstructions in the southwest. The Song army then stopped and stopped.
The Song army no longer broke through, or they knew that there was no hope of breaking out, and became honest again, which made the leader of the army, General Liang De, very satisfied.
The Song army was out of food and had no hope of breaking through.
In Liang De's eyes, the current Song army has no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. When daybreak, it is feared that it only takes one charge to severely damage the Song Dynasty's Western Army and determine the victory.
At that time, Liang De would lead his army to support the Liao army. He would first kill Wang Xin's men, and then work with the Liao army to deal with Su Shi.
By the way, some scouts came to report before, saying that Wang Xin had begun to break out of the encirclement, which had caused the movement of Nuo Da.
Liang De wanted to laugh when he thought of this.
The combat power of the Liao army was nothing more than this. Wang Xin, who had no food and no reinforcements, only had 20,000 troops, but he still managed to kill for so long.
It seems that the Liao army is really ruined.
Of course, the Song army had long been defeated.
From the looks of it, the entire world will soon belong to Xixia.
Xixia has produced warriors since ancient times. Although they are not many in number, they all dare to fight. This world should be inhabited by the capable, and it should belong to Xixia.
While Liang De was still feeling complacent, he didn't know at all that because he had to temporarily mobilize troops, Dong Daying was seriously short of troops.
And because of Li Mengyang's greed for power, the current Dongda camp has been completely wiped out. Even the Song troops who broke out across from him are not because of their superiority.
Instead of attacking, they took advantage of the dark night to withdraw from the battlefield from the east.
The information was not timely, and two squadrons of flying eagles were constantly hunting Xixia scouts on the battlefield, causing the situation to completely change, and Liang De was still unaware of it.
It wasn't until daylight finally dawned that the dispatched scouts discovered the scene of massacre at Dong Daying and reported it to Liang De's ears.
"It's impossible. There are five thousand Xixia warriors in Dong Daying. How could they be wiped out silently? This is absolutely impossible."
When he heard the news on the first day of the new year, Liang De was naturally in disbelief.
But the increasingly ugly look on his face showed that he was feeling guilty at this time.
"Quickly, send out the scouts, no! Send out those iron kites to see how many of the Song troops are still surrounded, quick."
As if he had thought of some possibility, Liang De's eyes showed fear at this moment.
What he is most worried about now is that the besieged Song army will escape from the east at night. If this is the case, it will prove the failure of his command this time. In this case, I am afraid that the general who did not hide his old news will definitely not
I will spare myself.
In the general's tent, Liang De waited anxiously.
Even when a scout came to report that Wang Xin's troops had broken out last night, there was no change in his expression.
Now Liang De no longer thinks about the failure of his ally Liao Army. What he thinks about is that the Western Army of the Song Dynasty surrounded by him must not escape, otherwise...
Liang De didn't dare to think about the serious consequences.
But what should come will still come, and it won’t happen just because you are afraid or praying.
Outside the general's tent, there was suddenly a sound
With the sound of intensive footsteps, when Liang De looked up again, what he saw was an angry-looking Wu Zang Guyin walking in with some soldiers.
For some reason, Liang De felt guilty for a while when he saw that there was no hidden old news.
"The last general has met the great general."
I was extremely nervous, but on the surface I pretended to be calm.
"Liang De, do you know your guilt?"
Wu Zangguyin didn't even look at Liang De's gesture of saluting him. Instead, he shouted and asked as soon as he entered the tent.
"At the end...I will not know what the crime is."
At this moment, Liang De could only bite the bullet and answer. Now that Tie Yaozi hasn't come back yet, things may not be turning around.
"I don't know. Huh! Are you waiting for the return of the Iron Kites? Tell you, they have come back, and there is no trace of Song Bing in your encirclement. How do you explain it?"
The more you speak, the more you speak, the angrier you become and your tone becomes higher and higher.
Tie Yaozi is the most elite person in the Xixia army.
Precisely because they are the most elite, the number is not very large. Everyone is registered.
Liang De suddenly wanted to call on the few iron kites in the army to do something. Wu Zang Guyin learned the news immediately and paid attention to it.
After Tie Yaozi returned from the camp to investigate, he reported the results of the investigation to Mu Zang Guyin as soon as possible. Of course, everything could not be hidden.
Speaking of Wu Zang's old news, after all the Song troops in the encirclement disappeared, Liang De's face turned pale. He knew that the most terrifying result had occurred.
"General, I haven't figured out what all this is about yet. But please give me a chance to make meritorious service, General."
The general will definitely investigate this matter and give an explanation to the general and the king."
"Do you think you'll have a chance?"
At this time, Liang De actually still wanted to take over the military power. He snorted coldly without hiding the old news, then waved his big hand and said: "Come here, tie Liang De up. I will do it in front of everyone."
Cut him down."
The obtained duck flew away.
Someone has to be responsible for this.
He would not take the blame if he didn't hide the old story. Originally, he was not the direct commander of the war, so Liang De had to step forward.
If Liang De is not dead, he will not be able to explain to the king without hiding the old news.
As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will not die of a poor Taoist. At this time, if you don't hide the old news, you can only sacrifice Liang De.
"yes."
Two armored soldiers strode forward and pinned Liang De to the ground.
"No! General, I reported to you the actions last night, and you agreed." Seeing that Liang De didn't hide the old news, he actually wanted to kill himself, but he refused to do so, so he yelled and struggled.
With.
"Add two more people and stop his mouth."
Without hiding the old story, his face turned dark instantly.
This Liang De, a man who was about to die dared to bite him. He was truly an unforgivable sin.
At that moment, two more armored soldiers rushed forward, and soon Liang De's mouth was gagged, and his whole body was tied up and held captive.
Not long after, there was a hanging head outside the camp, and Liang De was beheaded.
...
Chitang Pass in the early morning.
Very lively.
Thirty-eight thousand Western troops.
Twelve thousand Northern troops.
In addition, there are more than 10,000 black cavalry and vanguard troops.
More than 60,000 troops were stationed at Chitang Pass, and Bao Zheng was very busy.
The four who were originally guarding the gate
Wan Da Song's infantry reinforcements all got busy, and all morning, they brought out all the delicious food and drinks.
Black Cavalry naturally looked down upon these rice porridges, which were not much better than water. Even Yang Wenguang's vanguard army, who had been accustomed to eating delicious food with Su Shi during this period, also looked down upon.
But in the eyes of the Western Army and the Northern Army, who had been hungry for many days, these were all good things, and everyone enjoyed eating them.
Bao Zheng did not have breakfast with everyone, but stayed in his study to write the memorial.
In the battle last night, both the Western Army and Wang Xin's Northern Army were rescued.
Although his strength was far inferior to before, he was still rescued in the end.
On the second day after arriving in the north, he had achieved such results. Bao Zheng must report this.
This was not only to give Zhao Zhen confidence and tell him how right it was to appoint him to come to the north, but also to take the opportunity to silence the other gentlemen in the court.
Of course, the letter did not forget to express his gratitude to Su Shi.
If Su Shi hadn't sent the Su family army to join the war, I'm afraid the current situation in the northern border would still be worrying, and it might even be irreversible.
"Remember, we must send this memorial to the palace in Bianliang City as quickly as possible, even if the horses are run away, we will not hesitate."
Bao Zheng called the two Imperial Guards who followed him from the capital and gave serious instructions.
The biggest shortcoming of Zhao Zhen is that his ears are too soft.
Bao Zheng is not in the capital now, and he is really worried that Zhao Zhen will listen to one side of the story again and do something inappropriate.
Just like before, when Su Shi came to the north, the situation was not so bad.
We also won two battles, but what was the result?
Many gentlemen in Kyoto thought that the situation was stable and wanted to come to pick peaches, so they sent Wang Deyong, which led to repeated crises.
Bao Zheng didn't want to see the same bad thing happen again.
After the two imperial soldiers made repeated promises, they rode out of Chitang Pass on fast horses. Here Bao Zheng was also preparing to drink some rice porridge to pad his stomach, but Wang Xin, Di Qing, and Ji Zhu walked into him.
's small courtyard.
"Hey, we're all here, have you eaten?" Bao Zheng greeted the three of them with a smile.
"Master Bao, you're welcome. We've all eaten."
"Okay, then I'll eat mine. If you have anything to say to yours, don't delay." Bao Zheng smiled, and while drinking porridge and a piece of dry biscuit, he glanced at Wang Xin and the others.
After Bao Zheng said this, Wang Xin and the others were no longer polite. As the elder, he spoke first, "Master Bao, we are temporarily safe now, but the crisis in Xinzhou has not been resolved yet. General Zhongwu is still here."
At Chenghou Mountain, we should seize every moment to save them."
"General Wang is right. General Cheng Zhongwu came to the rescue this time. Now that we are safe, of course we must send troops to rescue." Di Qing also expressed his position.
Wang Xin wanted to save Xincheng, but he also wanted to save Wang Deyong.
Regardless of whether Wang Deyong made a mistake this time, one thing is that his identity as Privy Councilor is still there.
He was also an important member of the civil service.
Given the poor temperament of civil servants, if something happens to Wang Deyong in the north, he, Su Shi, Di Qing, and even Bao Zheng who came to the rescue will all be responsible.
For myself and for the greater good
Hello everyone, Wang Xin then proposed to lift the siege of Xinzhou.
