Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

There are about [-] Xixia soldiers, and they are the elite troops of Xixia.

The main task of this army is to undertake offensive and mobile operations.Because the enemy soldiers were captured alive as slaves in the battle, they were named the Capture Life Army.

The army led by King Li Cha of Jin and General Li Liangfu is this capture army.

Unfortunately, after encountering Ximen Qing's army, this army was either killed in battle or captured by the Chu army, and the entire army was wiped out.

Although Mou Ning Keren brought back [-] captives, these people had been frightened by Ximen Qing's army, and they could no longer regain their former combat power.

Xixia's local army is under the jurisdiction of various supervisory divisions, distributed in various states, with a total of more than [-] people.

It's just that the local troops from Weizhou to Xingqing Mansion have been wiped out by Ximen Qing's army.

Now Li Qianshun has only [-] troops left in the city.

Chapter 36 Xixia Army Breakthrough

When faced with the threat of the Chu army and the Jin army, the monarchs and ministers of the Xixia Kingdom in Xingqing Mansion were not much stronger than the monarchs and ministers of Zhao Huan in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Of course, Li Qianshun's more than 3 central guards are still capable of fighting, but among the officials, there is no one who can lead the army.

Li Qianshun regretted it a little now, why didn't he reuse the veteran Ren Duo Bao Zhong?

I heard that the old general fought to the last moment and did not lose the dignity of a party warrior.

If there is Ren Duo Bao Zhong commanding the [-] central guards, can he cover me to break through?

Li Qianshun thought to himself.

Looking back at the officials kneeling on the ground, mourning, Li Qianshun sighed, and asked: "Now that the country is dying, whether it is war or surrender, do you have any ideas?"

Hearing Li Qianshun's question, all the officials apologized with their heads, but they were noncommittal about whether to fight or surrender.

"I understand what you mean! You all go back to the house to clean up, and surrender with me tomorrow! Mo Ning Keren, you take my letter of credence out of the city, and surrender to the Chu army and the Jin army!"

Li Ganshun left in a flick of his sleeves, Mou Ning Keren hurriedly got up, and left behind the lord Li Ganshun.

As if the ministers were granted amnesty, they got up one after another after Li Qianshun left, and went home to hide their belongings, and no one paid attention to the emperor in the palace.

Soon, Li Ganshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, wrote the letter of credence, sealed it, and ordered Ning Ke to serve as an envoy to the camps of the Jin Army and the Chu Army, expressing his willingness to surrender.

Wan Yan Zonghan, the coach of the Jin Army, told Mouning Keren that the battle started because of the invasion of Chu by the Xixia Kingdom, so he ordered the Xixia Kingdom's monarchs and ministers to surrender to the Chu army tomorrow.As for the post-war disposal, it will be decided by myself and the Chu army coach Ximen Qing after the surrender.

Wanyan Zonghan appeased Mou Ning Keren and said that Yelu Yanxi, Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom, Zhao Ji, the Supreme Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Huan, the emperor who surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin, all received preferential treatment from the Kingdom of Jin, either as kings or marquises.As long as Li Ganshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, surrendered in Kaesong, Jin and Chu would definitely treat the Xixia royal family and clan nobles preferentially.

When Mou Ning Keren arrived at the camp of the Chu army, Ximen Qing also gave him the same promise.

Ximenqing asked Mo Ning Keren to tell Li Ganshun that as long as all the people return to Chu, they will not lose their position as princes, and their children and grandchildren will be preserved.

Mou Ning Keren thanked Ximen Qing on behalf of the lord, and returned to the city with a message from the two marshals.

After Namou Ning Keren left, Ximenqing called Ma Kuo and asked him to go to the Jinjun Camp to remind Yan Zonghan to be careful that Li Qianshun jumped over the wall in a hurry and broke out at night.

Not long after Ma Kuo left, Wanyan Zonghan also sent someone to remind Ximen Qing of the great event of the surrender of the whole country. Li Qianshun, the lord of the Xixia Kingdom, did not send a royal family member to present a surrender form, but sent a minister with a different surname. Very sincere.

Wanyan Zonghan and the hero Ximen Qing saw the same thing. He also reminded Ximen Qing to tighten the fence to prevent Li Qianshun's cunning fox from breaking out of the encirclement.

After Ximen Qing rewarded the Jin army's envoy, he immediately summoned all the generals and secretly laid a net outside the Xingqing mansion, waiting for the night to fall.

The cold wind was blowing, and it was already autumn and winter. In a few days, it would be snowing at the foot of Helan Mountain.

Although the weather was cold, the defense line deployed by Ximen Qing's army, the soldiers took turns to watch the night, and Ximen Qing's reward was generous, which made people's blood boil and they were not afraid of the cold.

However, after one night, there was no movement in the city of Xingqing Prefecture. It seemed that the Xixia Army had no plans to break through.

Jiao Ting asked the guards to wake Ximen Qing up, and then followed Ximen Qing to replace Wang Jin who was on duty at the camp in the middle of the night.

Seeing Ximen Qing coming, Wang Jin chatted with him a few words, saying why Ximen Qing had to get up so early, as long as he allowed himself to wait until the morning fog cleared, Li Qianshun in Xingqing Prefecture naturally had nothing to do.

Ximen Qing said to Wang Jin that dawn is the easiest time for people to relax their vigilance, and it is also a good time for cavalry to escape.At this time, I want to motivate and restrain the whole army, not to let Li Qianshun go carelessly.

Of course Wang Jin understood what Ximen Qing was referring to.

Although it is easy to hide in the dark, it is not conducive to Li Qianshun's cavalry of the Xixia Army breaking through and escaping.

Because when you can't see the road clearly, galloping on horseback is courting your own death.

Taking advantage of the gradually brightening sky and mist at dawn, you can launch a surprise attack, which is also conducive to the cavalry breaking through the siege.

The two of them were talking, when suddenly a scout horse galloped back from outside the camp, shouting, "Xixia Army! The Xixia Army is here!"

Rao is that the army had been prepared for a long time, and they were still shocked after hearing the warning.

Sure enough, after a while, the sound of horseshoes sounded like raindrops in the mist, and a large number of cavalry rushed towards the camp of Ximen Qing Army.

The camp of Ximen Qing Army blocked the two south gates and one east gate of Xingqing Mansion. If the Xixia Army wanted to break out from these two directions, it would inevitably have a head-on confrontation with Ximen Qing Army.

At this time, Ximen Qingjun's cavalry scouts scattered by the moat were oppressed by the cavalry of the Xixia Army and had retreated to the camp.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes approaching, Ximen Qing immediately gave Yue Fei and other generals the order to attack.

Under the command of Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian, the archers launched a salvo methodically.

A burst of arrows rained through the mist and landed on the shadowy cavalry of the Xixia Army.

"Ding Ding Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang" in front, and the sound of neighing came from people leaning on their backs. Obviously, most of the arrows were blocked by the armor and shields of the cavalry of the Xixia Army, and only a few unlucky ones fell off the horses.

Yue Fei and the others had expected such a result, and ordered people to use the divine arm bow to shoot.

At this time, the soldiers of the Ximen Qing Army had already seen through the camp that it was a group of heavy armored cavalry who were rushing towards the Ximen Qing Army's camp.

This heavy armored cavalry of the Xixia Army should be the [-] trusted guards of Li Ganshun, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom.

This heavy armored cavalry is wearing cold steel armor, which is difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to penetrate.However, the Chu army's divine arm bow is a sharp weapon for piercing armor, which can just restrain the heavy armored cavalry of the Xixia army.

Of course, there are more powerful artillery and muskets in the Ximen Qing army, but now the mist is thick and the field of vision is not wide enough, so it is not suitable to use those two extremely lethal weapons.

Under the shooting of the Ximenqing Army's divine arm bow, the cavalry of the Xixia Army in heavy armor also fell off their horses one after another, and the charge formation became scattered.

Immediately afterwards, the heavy armored cavalry of the Xixia Army who rushed to the front fell into the horse pit one by one with their men and horses, and could never get up again.

The heavy cavalry of the Xixia Army saw that the Chu Army's camp had been prepared, and they were shocked and angry, and immediately gave up their plan to raid the Chu Army's camp.

Under the command of the general of the Xixia Army, this armored cavalry left hundreds of corpses and rushed towards the connecting zone between Ximen Qing's east camp and the south camp, as if they wanted to choose to break out from there.

The cavalry of the Xixia Army is also putting all their eggs in one basket at this time, taking military adventures.

Because Ximenqing had a large number of people, the distance between the east camp and the south camp was less than two arrows away.
