Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

After Xi Gong gave the order to Wu Jie, he walked down the tower with a flick of his sleeves, and returned to the Yamen of Jinglue Mansion surrounded by everyone.

"The whole army is on standby!"

Wu Jie looked thoughtfully at the retreating Xixia army outside the city, and gave orders to the generals.

After Qu Duan was sent out to the city for a decisive battle by the coach Xi Gong, Wu Jie was entrusted by the coach Xi Gong with the important task of defending the city and commanding the army, so Wu Jie had the right to command the remaining Jingyuan army in the city on Xi Gong's behalf.

All the generals who were ready to leave the city stood still at the city gate upon hearing the news.

Afterwards, taking advantage of the withdrawal of the Xixia army, Wu Jie sent two outposts to scout.

A group of people went to Panyuan County in the southeast to find out what was going on there.

Another team led by Wu Lin personally followed the Xixia army returning north, waiting for an opportunity to find out their true intention of retreating.

Wu Lin is brave enough to surpass others, but he also has the guts of a tiger.After he led the troops out of the city, he made a detour to intercept them, and soon attacked a Xixia army that had fallen behind, and captured several prisoners alive.

Wu Jie immediately interrogated the prisoners of the Xixia army at the top of the city, and only then learned that the Xixia army was indeed defeated in Panyuan County, but the main reason for the withdrawal of the army was that a Chu army of unknown origin attacked Pingxia City by surprise. The retreat of the Xixia Army was lost.

When Wu Jie heard this, he clapped his hands in admiration, and bluntly said that there is such a brave and resourceful person in the army, he really let him bow down, and wished he could meet him immediately.

While sighing and admiring, Wu Jie still did not forget to immediately inform the commander Xi Gong of this important military information.

After all, the Huaide Army and Pingxia City also belonged to Jingyuan Road, and now someone is recapturing Pingxia City for the Jingyuan Army, which is a great joy, and Xi Gong must be allowed to make a corresponding decision.

In Jinglue's mansion on Jingyuan Road, Xi Gong, the envoy of Jinglue, was overjoyed when he learned that the Xixia army had retreated hastily because the rear route was cut off.

This is a godsend opportunity!Xi Gong ordered Wu Jie to immediately lead the entire Jingyuan army out of the city and pursue the Xixia army.

Xi Gong didn't ask Wu Jie how much he could behead, he just needed to create the illusion that the Jingyuan army defeated the Xixia army and drove the Xixia army out of Weizhou.

Chapter One Thousand and Six

After Wu Jie took the order, led by his brother Wu Lin, he led the remaining [-] elites in Weizhou out of the west gate, and pursued the Xixia army along the Jing River.

After crossing the Baiyan River, a tributary on the south bank of the Jinghe River, Wu Jie's army caught up with the Duanhou troops of the Xixia Army at the foot of Kongtong Mountain.

Sure enough, the Xixia army didn't dare to love to fight. After seeing the pursuers, they ran away, leaving behind a lot of baggage.

Seeing this, Wu Jie ordered the army not to loot the supplies. The whole army kept in line and continued to pursue the Xixia army.

Under Wu Jie's restraint, the sergeants abandoned their supplies, food and grass, and continued to chase and kill the rear of the Xixia Army.

Just after Wu Jie's army pursued to the northwest, a Xixia "Bubazi" army emerged from a hill in Kongtong Mountain.

The leading general, who was strong and strong, sneered and said: "This Chu general is indeed capable of leading troops, and he is not moved by wealth. However, the general of the Chu army in Weizhou City is still too greedy for merit. To escape Marshal Chage's trick."

……

Outside the city of Weizhou, when Wu Jie's army disappeared in Kongtong Mountain west of the Baiyan River, groups of Xixia army infantry who had been ambushing for a long time rushed out from the dense forests of the south and north mountains, carrying long ladders to face Weizhou. The city launched a fierce attack.

It turned out that when Brother Li Cha was preparing to withdraw his troops, he decided to fight one last time, to see if he could attract the defenders and capture Weizhou City in one fell swoop.

Therefore, after Brother Li Cha sent people to order the Zhenrong Army and Xi'an Prefecture to let the Xixia Army of the two places attack the Pingxia City of the Huaide Army, he did not lead the entire army to retreat, but ambushed the elite infantry around the Weizhou City. Along the way, they withdrew with great fanfare under the noses of the Weizhou defenders.

In order to lure the Chu army in Weizhou city to be fooled, Brother Li Cha even specially arranged for some dead soldiers to fall behind on purpose, and let the Chu army's scouts catch them carefully, and conveyed to the Chu army the reason why the Xixia army retreated in a hurry.

As expected by brother Li Cha, the general in Weizhou city is indeed a greedy person.

When they learned that the Xixia Army's retreat was cut off, their positions were in chaos, and the army's morale was slackened, the Chu army in Weizhou City rushed out, wanting to take the opportunity to bite the Xixia Army hard and earn great credit.

Brother Li Cha, the coach of the Xixia Army, lay in ambush outside the city. After seeing the guarding Chu army being transferred from the mountain, he immediately ordered his men to sound the horn and launched a strong attack on Weizhou City.

Accompanied by the sound of high and long horns, the soldiers of the Xixia Army rushed towards the defenseless Weizhou City like a tide.

Seeing this, the guards on the city hurriedly beat the gongs and drums to warn the inside of the city. At the same time, the clever soldiers lit the beacon and reported to Wu Jie's army outside the city.

In Jinglue Mansion on Jingyuan Road, Jinglue envoy Xi Gong learned that the Xixia army had not retreated but was attacking the city on a large scale. His face turned ashen with fright, and he shouted: "Quickly pass on Wu Jie, quickly pass on to General Wu Jie." Guard the city!"

A staff member of the Department of Economics and Strategy, who was also at a loss in fright, woke up and said to him: "Mr. Jinglue, General Wu has been ordered to go out of the city to chase the Xixia people..."

Hearing this, Xi Gong gasped, and then remembered that he had ordered Wu Jie to pursue the Xixia army.

"Quick, hurry up and order all the troops to defend the city, and let the common people go to the city to kill the enemy! After defeating the Xixia army, I will be rewarded! There will be rewards!"

Without Wu Jie's army, Xi Gong didn't dare to escape now, so he had to command the people of the Economic Strategy Division to lead the troops to defend the city hoarsely.

However, there are only thousands of old and weak troops left in Weizhou City, so how can they be the opponents of the Xixia Army?

The Xixia army climbed up the long ladder and quickly captured a small town.

……

In Anguo Town in the north of Kongtong Mountain, Wu Jie's army caught up with a Xixia army and was mobilizing to fight.

Suddenly, someone noticed that there was a wolf smoke rising into the sky in the direction of Weizhou City behind him.

"General Wu, something is wrong, Weizhou City has been attacked!"

A military academy rushed to Wu Jie's side and reported to Wu Jie by pointing at the beacon smoke behind him.

Wu Jie looked back, his eye sockets burst suddenly, and he roared, "I've caught the trick! Get out of the army!"

"The Xixia dog is so cunning!"

After Wu Lin killed an enemy general, he cursed angrily, beat his horse and followed his elder brother Wu Jie.

Wu Jie's army left 1000 people to fight and retreat, and the remaining 4000 people ran desperately to Weizhou City.

But, how could Brother Li Cha ask Wu Jiejun to come back to help him!In the valley of Kongtong Mountain along the way from Anguo Town to Weizhou City, the Xixia Army ambushed several ambushes.

These ambush soldiers did not show up when Wu Jie's army pursued them, but when Wu Jie's army retreated, they were ambushed and intercepted.

……

In the southeast of Weizhou City, an army is rushing from Panyuan County to Weizhou City in one step.

In front of the troops, Shi Jin, Han Shizhong, and Qu Duan rode side by side. Qu Duan was telling Shi Jin and Han Shizhong about the topography of Weizhou.

This army was the Yanzhou Army of the Shijin Department who was ordered by Wang Jin to help Weizhou City after half a day of repairing in Panyuan County.

This time, Shi Jin, who defeated Wei Mingji, won the vanguard officer. Han Shizhong, not to be outdone, asked himself to be Shi Jin's deputy vanguard.

Qu Duan, who was the new Tou Wang Jinjun, took the initiative to serve as a guide with a dozen of his own soldiers.

Looking back at Shi Jinjun's soldiers, Qu Duan couldn't help but be speechless: "General Shi, my Kansai army boasts of being brave and brave, and thinks that there is no army in the Kanto. If you look at it today, you will know that you are watching the sky from a well.

General Shi, your thousands of soldiers are even more mighty and majestic than my Kansai Army, more uniform and orderly, you are really the best soldiers in the world! "
