Chapter 841
Now, their goal has been achieved, not only tightly restraining the main army of Xixia, but also allowing the Song army side division to slap on Xixia's face.
These two slaps are definitely the biggest shame of Xixia since its founding. It can be said that Daxia had lost nearly 200,000 troops before, which was equivalent to physical damage. What the Song army's partial division did now has also caused severe damage to Xixia's mind.
Even the royal tomb hidden deep in the hinterland of Xixia was attacked by the Song army. Doesn’t that mean that Xixia is now so weak that it is for the country to be allowed to go?
Rendao Zongbao breathed a breath of turbid air, stared at the new city for a long time, and then he turned around and left and headed towards the camp.
The war between the troops was over, and just now he returned to the camp to rest, and the commander convened another military discussion, which made the generals who were originally in a low mood curse secretly in their hearts, but they had to bite the bullet and rush to the central army tent.
After entering the tent, Indo Zongbo glanced at the generals. "I know that you are a little upset because you were unable to capture this Song City today. This is normal. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. However, what the Japanese general wants to say is not this."
"I have something important to call you all to come. I want to tell you that today, let the soldiers rest early, and tomorrow at the hour of Mao, we will set off the camp! Return to Xiangqing Army Division."
"Master, we are going to go back to the army now?" A general jumped up and couldn't help but say anxiously. "But we haven't even touched the edge of Yanzhou City yet, so we just go back..."
"General Fei Ting, I know you are unwilling. The generals present are also unwilling. Even I am very unwilling. But the problem is... something happened in Xingqing Mansion." Renduo Zongbao took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone.
When Renduo Zongbao told the news that the Xixia royal tomb was damaged and the Xingqing Cang was burned into ruins, the entire Central Army tent exploded directly.
Everyone looked in disbelief and never expected that such a big thing would happen.
"Don't there still soldiers in Xingqing Mansion? Wei Ming Awu was in charge of Xingqing Mansion, and this happened to happen. This..."
"The Song army was cunning. Their partial army deliberately crossed the river and fought against the army of the old general Weiming. In fact, they sent another army to secretly cross the river and entered the hinterland of Xingqing Prefecture..."
"Now, the veteran general Weiming sent troops to search for the Song army that sneaked into the hinterland of Xingqing Prefecture. However, I am very worried that such several accidents may cause some tribes that were originally dissatisfied with the rule of Daxia to be ready to move."
"Today, I wanted to withdraw my troops after seizing this city, but the teacher still had such a backup plan. Now the country is empty and the army has been stationed outside for a long time, which is really inappropriate, so I decided to return to Xingqing Mansion."
Renduo Zongbao's explanation made everyone silent. We have to admit that it is indeed the best choice to retreat to the hinterland of Xixia now.
After all, this strong city has taken too much time to the Xixia army, and the important thing is that the opponent still has a backup plan. If you want to capture it, I really don’t know how much time it will take.
But the problem is, has the Song Dynasty been watching the attacks of the Western Xia army and remained indifferent?
In addition, the side troops of Song State actually jumped up and down the hinterland of Xixia and did so many things. Can they still let the other party continue to be proud?
However, Xixia spent so much energy and so much effort, but in the end it turned out to be in vain, which was really frustrating.
"General Wei, tomorrow you will lead 10,000 elite cavalry to break the rear. Don't let Master Zhong take advantage of the opportunity. Let's go back to Xingqing Mansion. If possible, it will happen to be the Song army's partial army. If they dare to stay in Daxia, I will strip their human skins and make drums with my own hands." Renduozongbao growled with a ferocious face.

The three thousand Song army had seven or eight thousand war horses. It took nearly a day and a half to cross the river before, but the whole night passed, and only less than a thousand people had passed, and there were less than two thousand war horses.
Just early the next morning, Luoping, who had already arrived on the east bank of the Yellow River, saw the general sent by Zhe Keshi to send a message. Hearing that the Xixia army was advancing northward, his face changed drastically.
"I can only take one hour faster than theirs. Tell General Liang and General Li quickly and let them cross the river immediately." Zheng Zheng, who came to the message, poured a large mouthful of water and then quickly added.
"But, we still have so many war horses that have not crossed the river..." Luo Ping couldn't help but hesitate.
"General Luo, is it important to war horses or the lives of our soldiers important? Do you still not understand?" Zheng Zheng couldn't help but feel anxious and shouted.
"Well, come here, send a signal to the other side of the river immediately, so that they can cross the river immediately, and do not delay. You go over in person and tell General Li and General Liang that the enemy is approaching and may arrive here in less than an hour, so that they can give up their war horses and cross the river immediately!"
The flag verb was whistled, and then Luo Ping's messenger also followed the boat to report. Liang Shou and Li Mao, who were still a little hesitant, also knew that now was not the time to be greedy for money and stingy.
He could only strictly order the soldiers to give up their war horses and board the ship immediately. Many cavalrymen were reluctant to leave, but they had to obey the military orders.
Liang Shou, as the person in charge of the receptionist and the rear-end, stayed at the end. Time passed slowly bit by bit. When there were still three or four hundred people left, rolling wolf smoke ignited in the south about ten miles away from here.
"Damn it! Send a signal and ask them to hurry up. The Xixia army is only ten miles away from us." Liang Shou hurriedly shouted.
After receiving the signal from here, the Song army soldiers who had just arrived at the river beach did not continue to wait for the boat to reach the dock under the urging of the general, but jumped directly into the waist-deep river.
The ferry was allowed to clear the head of the conditioner as quickly as possible. On the west bank, three or four hundred Song soldiers had gathered on the dock and were anxiously waiting for the ship.
It is probably half an hour to reach the ten miles of road, but it can only be reached with a scent of war horses.
Every breath felt extremely difficult. Just as the ferry crossed the center of the river, the thunder sound of galloping horses had already hit everyone's ears.
The rolling smoke and dust cover the sky and the bad things, just like a sandstorm that is about to rage into the world.
