The Jingu is about 80 miles away from the Keyi Gate. The two mountains stand together, and the terrain is dangerous.../Shou. The valley in Fa is built with fortresses. The fortresses are built along the mountain, and are built in trapezoids, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

According to Renduo Dongguang's strategy, Li Anhui guarded the village with 12,000 people, 8,000 cavalry hidden on the edge of the desert, and the remaining 30,000 people guarded the Keyi Gate and sweared to persevere.

The Tiger Lie Army was advancing smoothly. There were many fortresses along the way from Lou Bobei to Golden Valley, but the Xixia people kept their walls and cleared the fields and withdrew all the people, animals, and property. There were also several small-scale battles on the way. In order to win time for the people to evacuate, the local soldiers of the Xixia were blocked at all costs. The Khitans were so angry that they would burn every village and kill everyone. Often tens of thousands of people attacked a fortress, killing the corpses of the Xixia soldiers who were defending the Xixia soldiers.

On the ninth day of the seventh month, Xiao Yun led the front-superior army into the Golden Valley, but was stubbornly blocked by the people of Xixia. Xiao Yun urgently reported to Yelu Ma Ge, but the attack was blocked, and he probably encountered the main force of the right wing of Xixia.

Yelu Mage and Yelu Yaris rushed to the front line with his entourage.

Yelu Mage looked roughly at the Xia army's defense line in the Golden Valley and immediately ordered the attack to stop.

"The Dangxiang people are here to block the attack. We can't fight anymore. Let the Huli Army fight." Yelu Yaris whispered to Xiao Yun, "If you want to conquer this pass, you must rely on infantry and siege equipment. We will attack forcibly, and there will be too many casualties and will not achieve any results."

"The most dangerous place in the northern pass of Helan Mountain is the Keyimen, not the Golden Valley." Xiao Yun looked cold and waved the horse whip in his hand and said, "If the Dangxiang people want to block us, they should be in the Keyimen, not the Golden Valley. Now the Dangxiang people are blocking the troops here, and the purpose is to cover the people's evacuation. We should kill us quickly, rather than wait for the Tiger and Steve Army to come up and waste time."

"I told you to stop attacking." Yelu Ma Ge suddenly turned around and stared at Xiao Yun and shouted, "Didn't you hear my order?"

Xiao Yun also wanted to argue, but Yelu Yaris hurriedly stopped him, "Listen to the king's orders and take it down immediately."

"We must not only withdraw, but also withdraw from the Golden Valley." Yelu Mage said. "I ordered all the troops to reach the edge of the desert as quickly as possible. Kill the Yellow River and attack the Keyimen."

"From the edge of the desert to the rear of the Golden Valley?" Xiao Yun suddenly woke up and asked anxiously.

"Yes. Don't waste time here." Yelu Ma Ge said coldly. "Leave this place to Mao Shuai. Let them restrain the Dangxiang people. We will kill behind the Dangxiang people and encircle and annihilate the enemy."

"Quick. Quick. Send the order immediately." Yelu Yaris waved to the messenger company. "Get out of the Golden Valley."

Late at night. The Tiger and Lieutenant Army Commander Camp.

Dong Xiaohou leaned over and looked at the map, staring at the bowstring desert on the map, concentrating and contemplating.

Li Hu hurriedly told him that he would do his best to open a new grain road. This new grain road is located on the Henan Road of Xixia. The Zuoxiang Army of Xixia people is stationed here, and the possibility of opening up this road is very small. This is also an important reason why Hulie Mansion has not considered the shortcut to attack Helan Mountain from this shortcut.

This road can not only transport food, grass and supplies, but also a passage for Xixia people to counterattack. If the Tiger Lie Army retreated, the Xixia people could directly kill Hongliuhai and Wula Mountain from this road, surrounding the Tiger Lie Army in the front line, so the Xixia people were very strict in guarding this road and had no chance to capture it.

"If the Song army launched an attack from Lin Mansion, Lin Yan and Jingyuan at this moment and restrained the left wing troops, it might give us a chance to capture this road." Fan Zhichang coughed a few times, breaking the tranquility in the big tent, "How much do you think Taiyuan's words are true?"

"Even if the Song army launches attacks from the southern line, the Xixia people will not relax their guards on this road." Chai Yun sat next to Fan Zhichang. After hearing Fan Zhichang's words, he immediately lowered his voice and said, "We have been paying attention to this road. According to the Zhe family's investigation, the two thousand troops garrisoned in Huhua are garrisoned, and with these two thousand people and the natural danger of the Yellow River, we cannot break through Huhua. As for Taiyuan dialect, I think we can believe it."

"What is the reason? Just because Prince Yun must win the imperial rule?"

"That's how we think about it." Chai Yun said, "I have introduced you in detail about the king and the imperial throne. Taiyuan is not in a good situation now. If you lose the support of Hulie Mansion, Prince Yun and the Northwest General are single and lonely, they will definitely be retaliated by Bian Jing, so..."

"So the Northwest Army will definitely attack Xixia around October, right?" Fan Zhichang's tone obviously did not believe that the Northwest Army attacked Xixia. "What if they deceive Hu Lie Mansion? Or what if Bian Jing disagrees?"

"Fan Sima, because of this, we need your help and strive to go south to Keyi Gate and approach Xingqing Prefecture as soon as possible." Yuanye, sitting opposite Fan Zhichang, said, "Even if this expedition did not conquer Xingqing Prefecture and did not receive the help of the Song army, as long as we loot the area of ​​the Xia Kingdom's Jingji area, our harvest can still compensate for the losses of the expedition. I remember this sentence was what you said, right?"

"So, I hope that Dong Shuai is heavily garrisoning Lou Bobei in case the retreat is cut off by the Dangxiang people." Fan Zhichang said seriously, "The Song army will not launch an attack until October. Xingqing Prefecture sees no war on the southern front, and it is very likely to transfer the main force to the north and bring us the

The northern foot of Helan Mountain.”

"Dong Shuai accepted your suggestion and put Jinglei Jun in Lou Bobei. Isn't this enough?"

"It's not enough, it's far from enough." Fan Zhichang said, "I said that the Bohai Army and the Tiger Lie Second Army must also be kept in Lou Bobei to ensure Lou Bobei's safety."

"This is impossible." Chai Yun shook his head helplessly, "We only have 130,000 troops for this attack. If we put the Bohai Army, the Tiger Lie Second Army and the Jinglei Army in Lou Bobei, the army that attacked the Keyimen was less than 100,000..."

"The area required to attack the Keyimen is the infantry, not the horse army." Fan Zhichang took a hard shot of the case to vent his dissatisfaction, "I ask you, will you call the Bohai Army to attack the city?"

"But I think 100,000 people cannot conquer the Keyi Sect." Chai Yun did not show any weakness and glared at Fan Zhichang and asked, "Do you have any other way to take the Keyi Sect?"

"It's not the question of whether we can conquer the Keyi Sect, but whether we can stick to Lou Bobei." Fan Zhichang's voice became louder without realizing it. "The King of Tiger wants to open up a new grain road, obviously because he is worried about the safety of our grain road. The King of Tiger is worried about, shouldn't we consider it?"

Dong Xiaochou slowly raised her head, looked at Fan Zhichang, who was blushing and asked, "Why are you worried about Lou Bobei?"

"I told you that there are three roads to attack Xingqing Prefecture from the north." Fan Zhichang said, "One is to attack the Keyimen, and the other is to go south along the east bank of the Yellow River to Huaizhou. Huaizhou is only 30 to 40 miles away from Xingqing Prefecture. As long as the Yellow River is frozen, you can directly kill Kyoto. The other is to go south along the Gobi Desert between the Cangqiu Desert and the western foot of the Helan Mountains to Chimu Pass in the middle of the Helan Mountains. Chimu Pass is only 70 to 80 miles away from Xingqing Prefecture, but because the terrain is very dangerous, one man can be used to pass and tens of thousands of men and there is no possibility of conquering it, so we have to give up. However, the Dangxiang people can go north and kill Yanchi directly, cut off our retreat, and surround us on the northern foot of the Helan Mountains. Therefore, whether we can defend Lou Bobei is not only related to the victory or defeat of this battle, but also to the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers."

Dong Xiaochou fell into deep thought. He had to carefully weigh the gains and losses, but Fan Zhichang was undoubtedly right. It doesn’t matter if this battle was defeated. Hu Lie Mansion could make a comeback, but if the entire army was wiped out, then Hu Lie Mansion would be done.

"Okay, according to your wishes, leave the Bohai Army and the Hulie Second Army in Lou Bobei." Dong Xiaohou made a decisive decision.

"Okay, great..." Fan Zhichang applauded and congratulated each other, "Dong Shuai, believe me, your decision is correct, absolutely correct."

Dong Xiaochou smiled bitterly. He only had 130,000 people in his hands, and left more than 30,000 people to guard Lou Bobei, and his chances of winning against Keyimen were even smaller.

"Can the Khitan army be rewarded?" Dong Xiaochou turned his head and looked at Yuanye and asked.

"The Khitans are gathering on the edge of the desert and are preparing to start rushing towards the Yellow River in the middle of the night."

"Tell Yelu Mage that after he arrived at the Keyi Gate, he would immediately surround and kill the Golden Valley, and the speed would be fast."

Red Bull Desert, late at night.

The Western Xia knights lay on the sand and rested quietly.

Renduodongguang leaned on his hunchback and looked at the stars in the sky without any sleepiness. The emperor drove King Richard of Jin to the southern battlefield. Among the central ministers of Xingqing Prefecture, there were no military generals who were proficient in military affairs abroad except Renduobao, but the emperor did not trust Renduobao. Under the persuasion of ministers such as the prime minister Liang Qishen, the emperor finally dispatched only 50,000 capturing troops to attack Lou Bobei. This force was obviously not enough. Even if Lou Bobei was captured, he would be broken by the Tiger Lie Army. However, forcing the Tiger Lie Army to retreat was the result required by Xingqing Prefecture. The emperor and the central ministers had no confidence or courage to encircle and annihilate the Tiger Lie Army.

The Capturing Army was rushing to Lou Bobei. Xingqing Prefecture asked the troops in the right wing to delay the attack of the Tiger Lieutenant Army and not to let the Tiger Lieutenant Army kill to the Keyi Gate to stabilize the morale of the army and the people to the greatest extent, but is this possible?

Rendao Dongguang slowly fell asleep. Suddenly, a rapid sound of trumpet rose up, instantly shattering the tranquility of the night.

This was the sound of the horn of the police. The patrol found the enemy and the enemy came to kill him.

The soldiers of Xixia jumped up, jumped onto the horses, rectified the queue. The drums were made, the torches were lit, and the flames rose into the sky.

Rendao Dongguang patted the sand on his body and rode his horse to meet the speeding horse. "How many ways are the enemy still there?"

"About fifteen miles." The horse explorer shouted, "It's the Khitans, the overwhelming horse army is coming quickly towards us."

"How many people? About how many people?"

“Too many, at least tens of thousands.”

Tens of thousands? Renduo Dongguang was suffocated in his chest and was secretly shocked. He knew that the target of the Khitans was the Keyimen, so he did not dare to hesitate anymore. He immediately ordered, "Retreat, withdraw back to the Keyimen, hurry, hurry..."

"The commander, what should I do with the Golden Valley? They will be surrounded by enemies."
