When there was a burst of rushing shouts outside the east gate, the soldiers of Song Xia, who were fighting in the city gate, were stunned, but Shen Chengyi, who was covered in blood, shouted immediately: "It's reinforcements, brothers, kill the mantra of Dangxiang!" After that, he slashed the soldiers of Dangxiang who were hesitating in front of the horse.

Chen Chengyi himself didn't know if the shouting outside the east gate was his reinforcements, but he knew that if the Dangxiang soldiers at the door were not killed, there would be no reinforcements. He and the military and civilians in Baoan City promised to turn into a pile of meat and paste first. It was when the soldiers on both sides were confused that Chen Chengyi's shout greatly encouraged the soldiers of the Song army. Although the Dangxiang people could not understand him, they knew that their backs were not very good and that they might have been made by the Song army. The morale of the soldiers on both sides increased. In the era of cold weapons combat where swords and spears were mainly used, morale was an important magic weapon for the weak to defeat the powerful. For a time, the Dangxiang people were driven out of the city gate, and even were beaten back by the Song army at the foot of the city wall.

After seeing his strategy successful, Chen Chengyi was not happy. He commanded the troops behind him in time to take advantage of the defeat of Dangxiang to fill the city gate hole with sandbags. The Song army began to retreat to the city under the cover of the offensive at the city, intending to use sandbags to completely block the east gate. So far, he has heard shouts outside the east gate trembling, and no one knows what happened in the distance.

When the Dangxiang people saw that the Song army, who was still as powerful as a rainbow, returned to the city like a turtle, they knew that they had been deceived. They were furious and came back with a knife, and attacked them with a dense brick and thunderwood above their heads. They demolished the sandbags in the city gate as soon as possible, and prepared to enter the city again and seize the Baoan City in one go. Then they would not only achieve great military achievements, but also be the first to burn, kill and rob the city!

The Dangxiang people had just braved the Song army's desperate resistance to clear the obstacles in the city gate, and the shouts behind were even louder. At this time, a dramatic scene appeared on both sides - the shouts behind were really the sound of the Song army's reinforcements fighting with the Dangxiang people in the East Gate!

After the arrival of the Xiang Ren Rank van in Baoan City, it was cut off from the news outside. Before giving up Shunning Village, Han Qi had already begun to mobilize the military forces of the Northwest Song army and local governments on a large scale. The main force of the army set out from Yan'an Prefecture and arrived at the Garden Fort by Zhao'an Post. Everything in the battle in Baoan City in the past two days fell in the eyes of the Song army's spies. The Garden Fort is only a hundred miles away from Baoan City.

Originally, Liang Gewei's plan was started on both sides, but the abnormal situation of Shunning Village had scared him, making him suspicious and dare not divide his troops. He just wanted to solve the problem in a short time to obtain a base for Baoan City. The Garden Fort was too small and not enough to be used as a foundation. As long as Baoan City was captured, the Garden Fort would lose its value of defending. At that time, the Song army's determination to defend the fortress would be greatly hit, and the possibility of self-defeat would appear.

Han Qi did not expect that Liang Gewei would make such a low-level mistake. Relying on the large number of soldiers he led, he did not even spread out the cavalry when he attacked Baoan City. Han Qi thought that a pie fell from the sky and transferred the brigade of cavalry and small crossbows of the army. After everything was ready, he arranged a trap to use the strategy of luring the enemy into his ambush circle.

However, the Song army, who was ambushing aside, did not expect that the incident of "selling" in the sun during the day greatly angered the Dangxiang people's revenge. After the casualties were too great, they had to fight to the death to capture Bao'an City, which made the plan of the Song generals who were preparing to fight an ambush tomorrow fail. Especially when the Dangxiang people fought at night, they attacked from all sides, and saw that the Bao'an City was about to be broken, this made the Song generals unable to sit still. They prepared cavalry overnight and sent out all four cavalry to determine the deployment of the Dangxiang troops around. They watched the Dangxiang people attack the city on the hillside opposite the east gate, intending to use cavalry to disperse the Dangxiang army at the last moment when the Dangxiang soldiers were exhausted.

The east gate was full of fire, especially after the Dangxiang people destroyed the East Gate and formed a tug-of-war situation with the defenders of Bao'an City in the city gate, the Song generals finally got this best attack moment. With an order, 20,000 elite cavalry of the Song army and the 30,000 infantry following followed him to attack the Dangxiang army formation in the chaos, which caught the Dangxiang people off guard and defeated the Dangxiang people outside the east gate who were preparing to give the last blow to the Song army guarding the city in a short time.

Chen Chengyi, who had just commanded the battle for the city gate, hurriedly climbed to the east gate tower, wanting to see what the shouts he had just heard, and happened to see an army outside fighting with the Dangxiang people. He knew that his reinforcements had arrived, and immediately returned to the city gate, reorganized the remaining nearly 3,000 elite cavalry, and said loudly to everyone: "The reinforcements from our army are coming outside, and everyone should work together to kill the Dangxiang barbarians!"

For a time, the defenders in the city were as powerful as rainbows. Although there were sandbags and other obstacles in the city gate, they did not affect the passage of the cavalry. They rushed out of the city gate and slashed at the already messy Dangxiang soldiers. The Dangxiang army, which had just been very morale, was immediately like eggplants beaten by frost. The entire front line only resisted symbolically and collapsed on the entire line. After the turn, the two Song cavalry did not stop, but just informed each other and gathered together and rushed straight to the north gate. The infantry following behind them were to deal with the remaining scattered soldiers and yelled.

With such a big fight at the east gate, Lu Shi was on the tallest north gate tower of Baoan City, of course, able to see the torches outside the east gate to support the Song army. Just looking at the number of torches and the speed of movement, you can know that this is a cavalry team of no less than 20,000 people. There are more torches coming slowly towards Baoan City. Lu Shi knew that it was the direction of Garden Fortress, and Garden Fortress did not have so many garrisons. This must be the reinforcements of Han Shuai's encirclement of Dangxiang's army!

At that time, the Song army soldiers who were guarding the city were conveying the news of the arrival of reinforcements. For a moment, the Song army was like a wolf and a tiger, and drove all the Dangxiang soldiers who had just attacked the North Gate down the city. The stones, rolling wood, and hot oil were thrown into the city, regardless of whether there were Dangxiang soldiers under the city wall.

Lu Shi immediately ordered the two thousand cavalry he had left at the North Gate and saw the order flag as a trumpet. He was ready to open the north gate to use these two thousand cavalry to take advantage of the situation to chase and kill the defeated Dangxiang people.

Unlike the excitement of the Song army opposite, there was a depression atmosphere everywhere in the big tent where Liang Gewei was. Even the slow generals of Dangxiang knew that the situation was hopeless at this time. How could the Dangxiang soldiers who had been tired for a day stop the Song army reinforcements that were like wolves and tigers?!

Liang Gewei's face was pale. A general of Dangxiang, covered in blood, broke into the camp and shouted sadly to Liang Gewei, who was stunned: "Sir, General Ye Lixiong's troops have been defeated by the barbarians of the Song Dynasty. General Ye Lixiong himself has died and died for his country. Now our army is about to be unable to withstand it. Please make a quick decision. We can't stay here anymore. We must quickly cross the Zhouhe River and go to Shunning Village to have a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, my tens of thousands of Dangxiang men will bury their bones and security guards!"

The general's shouts woke Liang Gewei who was still in a daze. He immediately ordered: "The headquarters changed to the front army to cross the Zhou River, and the central cavalry assisted the troops who were siegeing the city to retreat and block the Song army!" At this time, everyone knew that the Dangxiang army was siegeing the city could not retreat. Liang Gewei's order was just to let the central army serve as a rear army to cover the retreat, and the Dangxiang army behind could only be thrown to the Song army as a shield to trip the Song army.

The Dangxiang people didn't care about any tents, food and supplies, and the army rushed directly to the Zhouhe River. Fortunately, there were enough ships, so the Dangxiang people stepped up to cross the river to get rid of the wolf-like and tiger-like Song army behind them. Liang Gewei was listening to the rushing sound of Zhouhe River on the boat, and felt cold in his heart - even if he could escape to Shunning Village? How many of his 100,000 troops could escape? Looking at the gradually distant river bank, the retreating Dangxiang soldiers didn't even need horses and weapons, and rushed to board the boat, this scene made Liang Gewei even sad - how would he deal with the 50,000 Song army in the north of Shunning Village?!

Liang Gewei felt more and more depressed. A faint sweet smell surged in his throat. He opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of blood. He was already at the end of his journey! Liang Gewei didn't know the word "end of the journey". But at this time, his heart was messy, such as glory and military merit, all of which turned into bubbles. Liang Gewei's heart beat faster, rushed onto the deck of the ship and yelled, and then jumped into Zhouhe. He had no face to return to Xixia. Even if he was lucky enough to be able to go back alive, his family would send him to the guillotine to calm the anger in the country. He had no thoughts!

Lu Shi saw the Song reinforcements attacking the Dangxiang Army's position from the east. He ordered all the things that could be thrown out on the front of the city were smashed on the Dangxiang people's heads, and asked the messengers to wave their flags and open the city gate. Two thousand cavalrymen who had already lined up rushed out of Baoan City, and behind them were all the infantry that could be mobilized in Baoan City. They followed behind the cavalry and rushed out of the city and chopped them up when they saw people.

The north gate of the security guard city - the gate that the Dangxiang people had not taken down for three days of attacking. It was now facing them, but the Dangxiang people no longer wanted to go in. Every soldier in their area knew that the attack on the security guard was defeated. Now he only gave birth to two legs for himself, threw away his weapons, ignored the machete and whip of the military supervisor, and ran to the back with no life. The entire Dangxiang front completely collapsed!

On the third day of the first month of the first year of Xining in the Song Dynasty, this day is a day worthy of writing. For the Song Dynasty, the battle under Bao'an City in the northwest defeated all the invading Dangxiang troops, killed countless enemies, seized a lot of food and supplies. The most important thing is the horses - a total of more than 60,000 war horses were obtained by the Song army, and of course nearly 50,000 Dangxiang prisoners - less than 30,000 Dangxiang people crossed the Zhou River and fled in a panic direction towards Shunning Village. More importantly, at dawn, when the Song army was rowing across the river in the west of Bao'an City, they fished out hundreds of Dangxiang corpses of Dangxiang people - that was the Dangxiang people yesterday

The consequences of being squeezed over when crossing the river in a hurry at night were of course not more Dangxiang's corpses were caught by the Song army. However, a corpse attracted the attention of the soldiers of the Song army. Although the man was swollen by the river, he was wearing fish scale armor. The protective equipment of the Dangxiang people has always been very weak. Most soldiers wear cowhide armor. Only officers wear iron armor, but only generals can wear fish scale armor. This person is a general. The problem is that General Dangxiang is not allowed to wear fish scale armor for various reasons. This person must be a prominent and important figure in the Dangxiang army!

The corpse was quickly sent to Lu Shen. He sent someone to pick out a few generals of the Dangxiang prisoners to identify them. Unexpectedly, when these Dangxiang generals who came to identify them saw this corpse, they burst into tears in the meeting hall, and spoke incoherently General Dangxiang. After translation, the Song generals from all over the Conciliation Hall cheered and cheered for it - this corpse was the body of General Dangxiang Liang Gewei, who was commanding the troops!

There was no scar on Liang Gewei's body. Lu Shen and other Song army generals just thought that he accidentally fell into the river and drowned. After all, the water in the Zhou River was relatively turbulent, and such a thing was very likely to happen during the night escape. Not long after, the news of the "monks" from Xixia returned made the Song people know that Liang Gewei jumped into the river and committed suicide because of worries and anger. However, all this was meaningless. Liang Gewei was the nephew of Liang Yi, the highest general of the Liang family. Moreover, the commanding army was the elite troops of Xixia. The corpse of Xixia generals of this level was no less than a national treasure for the Song Dynasty. It could greatly boost the national people's spirit. In the political struggle against Xixia, this corpse would have a special effect!

Lu Shi quickly wrote another letter of emergency military information. He promptly handed over to the Duke of Wei, Han Qi, who was in charge of Yan'an Prefecture. Lu Shi was a civil servant, and compared with the military generals in the meeting hall, he had special experience. He recruited doctors from Huaying Academy and asked them to preserve the corpse as completely as possible. After the doctors received this task, they immediately took action - there was a lack of necessary tools and supplies here. They could only pickle the corpse with lime. Lu Shi sent a team of thousands of people to escort the corpse to Yan'an Prefecture and handed it over to Duke of Wei Han Qi for handling.

Wang Jinghui, the son-in-law of the Biandu of the Song Dynasty, sat leisurely in the recliner. Opposite him was the frowning Eunuch Zhao. He was using his very ugly chess skills to deal with Eunuch Zhao. Judging from the facial expressions of the two, it is obvious that Eunuch Zhao was sucked in his hands. This year's sprint ceremony ended five days ago. The work of the test papers was Su Shi and the others, so he could never interfere, so he was just happy to spend time at home and spend time with Eunuch Zhao. He would fight with Eunuch Zhao when he was free. It would also be easier to enhance his personal relationship with this old eunuch. Although doing so was futile, it was also considered an entertainment project!

Just as he was waiting for the abandoned son of Zhao to surrender, the second son of the twelve book boys, Yansheng hurried into the pavilion with a roll of paper in his hand and respectfully handed the paper in his hand to Wang Jinghui. Wang Jinghui took the paper and glanced at it, and jumped out of the recliner, which scared the elder Zhao who was thinking next to him. He thought that the prince consort was dead.

Wang Jinghui held the note in his hand, and the expression on his face changed constantly, which made Eunuch Zhao very strange. Looking at the book Tong Yansheng next to him, he also had an excited expression on his face. Wang Jinghui finally adjusted his emotions and handed the note in his hand to the curious Eunuch Zhao. Eunuch Zhao opened the scroll and saw two lines of fly-headed small calligraphy: "The enemy who was attacking Dangxiang was defeated by tens of thousands of enemies at Bao'an City, and the army and horses and captives were as many as 50,000 to 60,000 each. The main general Liang Gewei drowned in the river during the retreat. Now the body has been transported from Yan'an Prefecture to Luoyang!"

After seeing this, Eunuch Zhao was extremely shocked, but after all, he was extremely old and had seen many storms and waves with two generations of emperors. His kung qi cultivation skills have been perfect, and he quickly calmed down the turmoil in his heart.

Wang Jinghui said to Eunuch Zhao: "Eunuch Zhao, this is the news sent by the carrier pigeons in the Northwest Business Network. Now the express delivery of Wei Guogong is still on the way. The specific situation still needs to be found out after the letter from the Duke of Wei Guogong is submitted. How should I deal with this news in my father-in-law?"

Eunuch Zhao knew about the son-in-law training pigeons to convey messages. He also reported to an old lady in the palace. Emperor Zhao Xu also knew that Emperor Zhao Xu said that he would apply the son-in-law's pigeons to the army. Unfortunately, he was strongly opposed by the Privy Council. During the trial operation, there was a vicious incident in which the pigeons did not know where to fly. After investigation, it was learned that the pigeons were hunted by birds of prey in the forest when they flew through the mountains. Fortunately, there was no vicious incident of secret leakage. The attitude of the Privy Council became stronger after this. If it was hunted by hunters or even a spy who were interested in enemy countries, the consequences of the leak would be unimaginable!

Wang Jinghui and Emperor Zhao Xu also believed that it would be better to dismount the pigeon while such an erratic incident has not yet occurred. However, Wang Jinghui himself has still established a network of pigeon contacts. The effectiveness and speed of information are the goals that Wang Jinghui is committed to pursuing, so that he can better grasp the pulse of the development of the overall event.

After hearing Wang Jinghui's question, Eunuch Zhao narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "Recently, news has often been heard in the palace that the officials are worried about the northwest, and their daily life is chaotic. In the long run, the dinosaurs are ill. Since the prince-consort knows about the northwest, he should also talk to the official family, which is good for the official family. But it would be fine if Wang Jiefu, Sima Junshi and other ministers, otherwise the Duke of Wei would not escape the disaster of the censor's pen sharpener, let alone the prince-consort!"
