Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Pingxia City was occupied, but the people in the city did not recognize the rule of the Xixia Kingdom, and they all hoped that the Chu army would return to Huaide's army as soon as possible and recover Pingxia City.

Outside the north gate of Pingxia City, under the setting sun, a cavalry team of the Xixia Army transporting grain and grass went upstream along the road along the Hulu River from Tongxia Village, and arrived at the tower of the north gate of Pingxia City.

Under the city tower, a small group of Xixia soldiers who guarded the city gate and checked the people coming in and out turned a blind eye to the grain transport horse team approaching, and let the team enter the city without any vigilance.

After the grain transportation team led the horses into the city, they suddenly took off their coats, revealing the white cloth belts wrapped around their arms.

With a roar, these soldiers with white belts on their arms drew their swords and rushed to the city gate, hacked to death a group of Xixia soldiers guarding the north gate, and took the north gate quickly.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of killing outside the north gate shook the sky, and an ambushing Chu army suddenly appeared and was swept into Pingxia City like a strong wind.

Ren Duo Muyi, the defender of the Xixia Army in the city, was shocked when he heard that the Chu army was attacking, and hurriedly organized his subordinates to fight back.

It's a pity that after Ma Kuo led the troops to grab the north gate, the Chu army poured into Pingxia City continuously, and their strength has surpassed the Xixia army staying in the city.

The people in the city led the Chu army boldly, and the Chu army quickly divided and surrounded the Xixia defenders.

Seeing that the general situation was over, Ren Duo Muyi took more than 200 cavalry to open the south gate of Pingxia City, and fled along the official road to the Zhenrong army in the south.

The remaining Xixia army in the city lost their main general, threw away their weapons one after another, and begged for mercy on their knees.

Ma Kuo soon took control of the entire Pingxia City.

When Ren Duo Muyi was galloping on horseback, one person and one rider appeared on the official road ahead.

I saw the man with his helmet on and his armour, as if he were a general of the Chu army.

"There is an ambush! Little ones, follow me to kill!"

Ren Duo Muyi drew his sword and shouted.

Before he finished speaking, only the sound of bowstrings could be heard, a mace arrow had been shot from Ren Duo Muyi's mouth, and shot out from the back of his head, shooting the Xi Xia general off his horse.

"Liu Kai is here, where will the thief escape!"

The cavalry general of the Chu army in front held a bow with one hand and let out a violent shout.

On both sides of the official road, thousands of archers stood up from the grass, and shot wildly at the Xixia army.Arrows fell into the Xixia army's ranks like raindrops, and shot all the more than two hundred riders off their horses.

So far, the more than 1000 Xixia troops stationed in Pingxia City have been wiped out.

Didn't Liu Kai and Ma Kuo want to take advantage of the momentum of capturing Pingxia City to force Brother Li Cha to retreat in order to break the siege of Weizhou City?Why don't you let a deserter go to inform you now?

Because just south of Pingxia City, there is also a Lingping Village.After Liu Kai and Ma Kuo led the Chu army to occupy Pingxia City, it was expected that the Xixia defenders in Lingping Village would flee in anticipation and go south to town Rongjun to report the news.

Liu Kai cut off Ren Duo Mu Yi's head, led his men into Pingxia City, and joined forces with Ma Kuo in victory.

Later, Liu Kai and Ma Kuo strengthened the city's defenses to prevent the Xixia Army from counterattacking, and at the same time sent the Deli Military Academy back to the Shunde Army to report to the Chu Army's Xihe Army, Qin Feng Army, and Jingyuan Road, informing them of Liu Kai's army's recovery of Pingxia City.

In addition, Liu Kai also sent people eastward through the Zhenrong army to report to the Yuanzhou and Huanzhou defenders, asking them to attack the Zhenrong army together and trap Brother Li Cha's army in Weizhou.

When Liu Kai's messenger was still climbing mountains and wading, the Chu and Xia armies in Weizhou had already fought together.

Wang Jinjun's vanguard, Han Shizhong, led five thousand troops up the Jinghe River, and was blocked by the Xixia Army in Panyuan County.

Han Shizhong launched an attack on the Xixia Army without waiting for Wang Jinjun's Chinese Army Brigade to arrive.

The two armies fought bloody battles in the Jing River valley for an hour. Han Shizhong jumped on his horse and raised his gun, and he fought in and out of the Xixia army, unstoppable.

The Xixia army retreated steadily, leading Han Shizhong to the Xiaolu River, a tributary of the Jing River in the north of the city.

Suddenly, there was a sound of killing, and the Xixia army ambushed in the surrounding mountains rushed out together, surrounding Han Shizhong's army.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After Han Shizhong was ambushed, he was surrounded by the Xixia army several times larger than himself, and immediately fell into a bitter battle.

Rao is Han Shizhong's high martial arts skills, and it is difficult to lead the army to break through the encirclement at this time.

Arrows rained down on the battlefield. Han Shizhong, who was riding on a horse, was shot in the arm by an arrow and had to dismount to fight on foot. He commanded his men to form a circular formation and held up their shields to resist the rain of arrows.

At the same time, Han Shizhong's army used the god arm bow equipped to shoot and kill the Xixia army rushing forward in large numbers.

To Han Shizhong's surprise, the Xixia army that surrounded Han Shizhong's army was equipped with heavy armor, strong bows and crossbows like the Chu army, and used similar tactics to the Chu army.

For a while, both sides fired at each other with strong bows and crossbows, relying on heavy armor and thick shields for protection.

Han Shizhong still doesn't know that the enemy against him is the "Bubazi" army reformed by Brother Li Cha, King of Jin of Xixia Kingdom.

King Li Cha of Jin is the half-brother of Li Ganshun, the lord of the Western Xia Dynasty. Pierce heavy armor.

In the Song-Xia War, once the Xixia Army was defeated, and the Song Army was chasing after him. Only 14-year-old Li Cha shot down the Song General's flag with an arrow, scaring off the pursuing Song Army.

After that battle, brother Richard shocked the entire army and became famous at a young age.After growing up, Brother Li Cha's position in the Xixia Army was like Wan Yan Zonghan's in the Jin Army, and he became a hero admired by the entire army.

Therefore, Li Ganshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, handed over the military power to his outstanding brother.

Because of this matter, it also aroused the dissatisfaction of Ren Duo Baozhong, a famous Xixia army general who supported Li Qianshun's supremacy.

Ren Duo Baozhong has outstanding military exploits, and he thinks that he should be the Grand Marshal of the Xixia Army, ashamed of taking orders from Brother Li Cha, a yellow-mouthed kid.

The news of the disagreement between the generals of the Xixia Army was learned by Cai Jing, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty at that time, and Cai Jing took the opportunity to play a divisive plan.

Cai Jing asked the frontier guards to send someone to secretly contact Renduo Baozhong, and promised him a high-ranking official and generous salary, so that he would rebel against Xia and return to Song Dynasty.

As a result, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. The spies sent by the Song Army were not secretive. They were captured by the Xixia Army halfway and confessed their mission to the Xixia Kingdom.

Li Ganshun, the lord of the Xixia Kingdom, was shocked when he learned that the Song Dynasty wanted to instigate rebellion against the general Ren Duo Bao Zhong. He immediately lifted Ren Duo Bao Zhong's military power and put him under house arrest in the capital Xingqing Mansion.

Although no evidence of Renduobaozhong's treason was found afterwards, Li Ganshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, did not dare to use Renduobaozhong as a general again.

Ren Duo Baozhong, the famous general of the older generation in the Xixia Army, has since become an idler and withdrew from the stage of history.

At that time, some people in the Song Dynasty did not understand Cai Jing's actions, thinking that Prime Minister Cai Jing's attempt to recruit Ren Duo Bao Zhong was whimsical and unrealistic.

However, the Song army only paid the price of one spy to overthrow the famous Xixia general Ren Duobaozhong who had repeatedly defeated the Song army. What's not worthwhile?

Sometimes, it may not be true that "the authorities are obsessed, but the bystanders are clear"!

The old hero Ren Duo Baozhong fell, but Li Cha, the new idol of the Xixia Army, stood up.

After Brother Li Cha took office, he carried out drastic reforms to the Xixia Army, proving to the people of the country that he is more suitable for the position of Generalissimo than the veteran Ren Duo Baozhong.

After researching and summarizing the defeat of the Xixia Army to the Song Army, Brother Li Cha believes that since ancient times, wars have been fought with both foot and horse. When it comes to the "Mo Dao Technique", the "Iron Kite" will be difficult to use, and if it encounters the "God Arm Bow", the "Bubazi" will also be defeated.

The so-called "Mo Dao Method" was created by Li Siye, a general of the Tang Dynasty, a tactic used by infantry with long swords to deal with cavalry.

Although the Song Army was not equipped with Mo Dao, it was equipped with infantry heavy weapons similar to Mo Dao, such as Zhanma Dao, Mazha Dao, and Long-handled Big Axe, which inherited Tang Jun's tactics of breaking cavalry with steps.
