Chapter 844
"...Tomorrow morning?" The general under his command looked at the sun that had not yet set outside the house, and felt extremely distressed. However, this person was his immediate superior. If he could beat him up, he would not be so aggrieved and begged for his life.
"General, if that happens, we are afraid we really can't bear this heavy responsibility. At that time, Wei Ming Awu ran to His Majesty to sue you for slack military action. This crime is quite serious..."
"Okay, okay, since that's the case, let's set out two hours later. We can't let the men go out of the city hungry to fight with the Song people, right?" Ye Lihong finally slapped the table and made the final decision.
Ye Lihong had sent out scout cavalry many times before, but before he could get close to the five miles of the Song army camp, he was forced to retreat by the Song army's cavalry, plus the news from Weiming Awu.
Ye Lihong had already determined that the Song army camp had at least 20,000 troops, and he, plus the previous left-behind personnel, was less than 20,000.
Besides, the troops led by him are not the elite troops of Daxia. Many people are still just tribal soldiers wearing leather armor. Such an army is used to stop the elite Song army cavalry. What is this a joke?
Therefore, you must be careful. After all, the Minister of the Central Secretariat Ren Duo Zongbao said that it is the priority to protect the city and not allow the Song army to take advantage of the opportunity.
It is naturally right to do this by myself. It is not that I am afraid of death, but that these Xixia Erlangs are worried that they will fall into the enemy again. Besides, didn’t Wei Ming and Wu say that the Song army is going to run away?
As long as I send troops a little later, maybe when I arrive, all the Song people will be covered in oil. The other side is a cavalry, and my command is mainly infantry. If I can't catch up, can I blame me?
Zhe Keshi did not disappoint Ye Lihong. When Ye Lihong left behind five thousand defenders, he led 12,000 troops out of the Xiangqing Army Division in fear and headed towards the Song army camp step by step.
Before he could walk ten miles, the reconnaissance cavalry rewarded him. The Song army had already evacuated and seemed to set fire in the camp, as if he did not want to leave anything for the Xixia people.
Upon hearing this news, Ye Lihong's eyes suddenly shone. After repeatedly confirming the truth of the news, General Ye Li unsheathed his sword and ordered the army to attack and attack the Song army camp.

"Sir, Ye Lihong, the commander of Xiangqing Army, sent people to report. He led 12,000 troops and horses to kill the enemy in blood. However, the Song army was all cavalry and could not hold back the opponent. However, he still led the army to break into the Song army camp, burned the Song army camp, and seized a lot of supplies..."
"It's you, do you believe it?" Wei Ming Awu drank the bitter soup brought by the military doctor in one sip. After wiping his mouth, his eyes fell on the general and said coldly.
The general smiled bitterly and shook his head heavy. "To be honest, General Mo doesn't think this commander can have such courage..."
"Forget it, just take it as real. Give him a military order, and if you want me to report my merits to the emperor, then he will keep a close eye on the whereabouts of the Song army, otherwise, I will definitely impeach him to His Majesty."
The general respectfully took the order and left. Wei Ming Awu slowly stood up, waved his hand and waved away the support of his personal soldiers, and walked out of the tent. At this moment, the opposite bank of the Yellow River was the sky, and the rolling smoke and hustle and bustle were rising straight into the sky, and even the moonlight was covered with a layer of gray.
"Zhe Keshi, you Zhe Keshi, but unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to avenge myself in my life..." Wei Ming Awu, who looked hunched in his body, whispered in a low voice.
Even if Ye Lihong can really send someone to follow him? As long as Zhe Keshi meets the partial army, unless he wants to wipe out the entire army, he will definitely lead the army to evacuate as quickly as possible.
And what can Daxia do to him? However, the reply from the Secretary of the Central Committee Ling Renduo Zongbao made Wei Ming and Wu breathe a sigh of relief. Even if Renduo Zongbao returned to Xingqing Prefecture, even if he could not be strangled, at least with this army in Xingqing Prefecture, Daxia could at least stabilize and avoid any major riots.
Otherwise, those aliens who saw the Daxia ancestral tombs were destroyed and Xingqing Cang were burned might have suddenly hurt people. After being hit by the Song army, Xixia no longer dared to sing the empty city plan again.
However, Wei Ming Awu never expected that the Song people built a new city in Yanzhou, and it was guarded by Zhong Shidao, a famous Western Army general from the Song Dynasty.
Moreover, this guy clearly has the strength to defend easily, but in order to hold Renduo Zongbao's main force of the army, he showed weakness to the Xixia.
Now, after being trapped, Xixia was angry and embarrassed, but she was helpless with this new city.
Nearly half a month has passed since the Liaoxia coalition invaded the Song territory, but so far, it has made no achievements. On the other hand, the 300,000 army has no choice but to take the small city of Youzhou, and on this side, Renduo Zongbao could only stare at Xincheng.
Under the pressure of hundreds of thousands of troops, the Song State not only did not suffer any losses, but instead used a surprise soldier to stab Xixia in the heart, and then slashed her ears hard on Xixia's face.

Master Zhong saw the Xixia army slowly set off to the camp and walked north, and the cheers of the soldiers continued to reach his ears. He couldn't help but smile with relief, but there was still a deep worry in his eyes.
I don’t know if Zhe Keshi’s plan in the north was successful, but the side master who he sent to the hinterland of Xixia had already crossed the Yellow River safely.
Although Zhong Shidao was a little annoyed at his impulse yesterday, the Xixia people attacked wildly yesterday. If they did not send all their troops to the city, then this newly built city would likely change hands, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city would be in trouble.
"General, since the Xia army retreated, should we send some people to harass their retreat? We can't let them come whenever they want, and leave whenever they want?" A general came over and made suggestions to Zhong Shidao.
"Renduo Zongbao is a major general in the Western Xia Dynasty. Even if he was out of the camp, his subsequent army would definitely be very cautious and send people to harass him. Maybe he would suffer a great loss. Such a transaction would not come." Zhong Shidao shook his head and rejected his subordinate's suggestion.
After thinking for a long time, Zhong Shidao turned his head and his eyes fell on one of the men. "People and General, give you five thousand cavalrymen. After leaving the east gate, head north to Baishi City to pick up General Zhe and the others."
"Why are you going to meet them? Isn't there any war in Baishi City?" He asked back with an inexplicable look on his face.
