One Piece of Song Dynasty

Liu Zhi nodded and said, "Well, what the master said is reasonable. The information obtained by our news network also shows that although the Western Army forced the Xia Army to retreat steadily after several previous battles with the Xia Army, the losses of the Western Army were also small." It’s very big, and it hasn’t calmed down yet, so attacking the Xia army now is really a disaster.”

Zhao Yun said fiercely, "It's all my fault that Tong Guan, for his own selfish desires, forced General Liu Fa to attack the Xia army. This is obviously asking General Liu Fa to die."

Liu Zhi nodded and said, "According to the information collected by our news network, Tong Guan always deceives his superiors and deceives his subordinates. He turns a defeat into a victory and takes all the credit for a victory. This is common. Moreover, General Liu Fa I’m not a person who is good at flattering, so I don’t have a good relationship with Tong Guan. Let’s not talk about this anymore. What are you going to do about this matter?”

Zhao Yun looked at the map and said, "I plan to divide my troops into two groups. I will go all the way to the border to ambush and monitor the arrival of the Western Army near Tong'an City, and all the way to the Zhugu Gorge according to your instructions. I would like to ask shopkeeper Liu to prepare dozens of Xia Army sets for me." I need to take some of my clothes with me. If the Western Army is defeated, it will be easier to wear Xia Army clothes."

Liu Zhi nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Zhao, don't worry. I will prepare Xia Jun's clothes as soon as possible. If we follow what the master said, Tong'an City will become the main battlefield. The area where tens of thousands of people are fighting is very large. Brother Zhao needs to bury it." Okay, don’t let anyone find out.”

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Liu. I will lead someone to ambush dozens of miles away from Tong'an City and wait for the two armies to decide the winner before reappearing. My mission is to protect General Liu Fa. Someone else will." I won't take care of it." Liu Zhi thought to himself, don't worry, I have worked hard to recruit these dead soldiers. If it weren't for the master's instructions, I wouldn't have lent you the money. I just hope you can bring them back safely. They're just fine.

Three days later, Zhao Yun left Yan'an Mansion for Tong'an City with a group of dead soldiers and dozens of sets of Xia army clothes.

At this time, Brother Cha had also received the news that Liu Fa was about to attack Shuofang. After receiving the news, Brother Cha quickly assembled his troops. While sending a small group of troops to harass and slow down the advance of Liu Fa's army, he assembled a large army and quickly headed to Tong'an City. Cha Ge only has more than troops in his hands, but they are all elites of the Xia army, and they also have elite heavy-riding iron kites of the Xia army. General Liu Fa, in addition to the troops under his command, also has tens of thousands of troops gathering behind him. If Brother Cha wanted to defeat the Song army, he had to quickly eat Liu Fa's troops, so Brother Cha decided not to give Liu Fa a chance to prepare and directly led the army to rush forward quickly.

After General Liu Fa sent troops, he arrived at Tong'an City after being harassed by a small group of Xia troops for ten days, and immediately encountered the well-prepared main force of Chage. Cha Ge divided the main force into three formations to block Liu Fa's army, and the two sides immediately started a fierce and bloody battle.

From time to time, a soldier of the Western Army struggled to get up from the bloody water. Although his abdominal cavity had been cut open by a sharp blade and his bloody intestines were exposed, he still roared and rushed towards the Xia Army with a steel knife in his hand.

There may be a soldier of the Western Army with red eyes, struggling to wield his sword and gun at Xia Jun. In fact, his body is already full of arrows.

Some Western Army soldiers roared and threw themselves down on the Xia Army soldiers in front of them, but his arm had been cut off and he could only bite the Xia Army soldiers' throats with his teeth.

Tragic scenes were taking place all over the battlefield. Although the Western Army soldiers who were suppressed by the Xia Army could still burst out with fiery fighting spirit, they were blocked by shields and spears in front of the three lines laid out by Cha Ge. The swordsmen and axemen intercepted, followed by the crossbowmen's heavy rain of sharp arrows. In front of such a tight formation, the soldiers of the Western Army were like moths flying into the flame. They were instantly wiped out. The Xia army's formation continued to advance toward The main line of the Western Army approaches.

In the main formation of the Western Army, Liu Fa watched the soldiers go to die one after another. He looked sad and angry, and his heart was full of anger. These soldiers should not die so easily. They should play a greater role. They also have parents, There are brothers and sisters, wives and children. Their parents may be looking forward to their son's return in victory. Their brothers and sisters are waiting for the gifts brought to them by their elder brother or younger brother. Their wives and children are looking forward to them. I hope my husband and father can return safely and spend more time with me.

It was me, Liu Fa, who could not let go of his power and led them to die for the sake of my own honor. It was me, Liu Fa, who destroyed these happy and complete families. If I, Liu Fa, had risked my life and power, I would not have opposed his Tong Guan. I decided that these soldiers would not come to die. After this battle, even if I, Liu Fa, go back alive, how can I face the eyes of these soldiers' parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters?

Just when the Song and Xia armies were in a stalemate, Brother Cha ordered to the people around him, "Go, let the iron kites attack, climb over the mountains and attack the Song army's rear army."

The messenger cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Chage sent Tie Yaozi to climb over the mountains to attack the Song army's rear army, but Zhao Yun was ambushing the mountains on the only way Tie Yaozi must pass, because it was easy to observe the war situation down the mountain.

At this time, Zhao Yun was lying in the grass on the mountain watching the battle at the foot of the mountain. Suddenly Zhao Yun felt the vibration of the ground.

Zhao Yun ordered: "There are cavalry coming, everyone should hide." Zhao Yun thought to himself that he didn't know whose cavalry they were. A fierce battle was going on at the foot of the mountain. What was the cavalry doing here? There must be some conspiracy.

After a while, groups of iron kites passed by Zhao Yun.

After Tie Yaozi left, a dead man said to Zhao Yun, "Commander, this should be the elite heavy cavalry of Xixia. I have heard of them when I travel in the northwest all year round. They are all armored, and their impact is very powerful. I am afraid they will turn over if I pass by." Go up the mountain to attack the Song army's rear formation."

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "If the Western Army's rear formation is attacked by the heavy cavalry at this time, there will be chaos. It seems that the Western Army will definitely be defeated this time. We put on the Xixia military uniforms and we quietly followed the Xixia heavy cavalry to the Western Army's rear array. We have to wander around the edge of the battlefield and never go deep into the military formation. The Western Army will definitely break through. Remember to find a corpse of a Western Army soldier and carry it on your back when the time comes. It will be of great use."

In this way, Zhao Yun led everyone to change into Xixia military uniforms and followed Tie Yaozi to the rear formation of the Western Army. The situation in the front was stalemate. As soon as Tie Yaozi appeared in the rear formation of the Song Army, it caused a panic in the Song Army. The rear army of the Song Army was caught off guard and suffered losses. heavy.

A Song Army messenger clasped his fists at Liu Fa and said, "General, our army's rear formation was suddenly attacked by the Xia Army's elite heavy cavalry iron kites, and we suffered heavy losses."

Liu Fa sighed and said, "We were defeated. Brother Cha is indeed a famous general in the world. God wants to kill me, Liu Fa. It's just that Liu is sorry for the soldiers who followed Liu in the battle."
