In the crisis of the whole clan, the God of War Dangxiang was born! This reminded me of the Great Liao War God who was also born in the crisis of the whole clan. That name has been a long time ago, but it has always shined vividly in the long river of history - Yelu Xiu Ge! But to be honest: these two war gods are really incomparable...

Liu Changzuo was so angry that he felt very comfortable when he saw the reinforcements in Xixia. When he was bored, he was the dream of every man. He led his men and chopped over and set up the formation that won a great victory in the last field battle - shield wall, divine arm bow, crossbowman, and cavalry team! These settings still worked. The Xixia people almost stepped on their bodies and rushed up. Later, they finally got ashore. After breaking through the first three blocks of Jingyuan Army, they met Guo Cheng's cavalry!

That day, Guo Cheng showed his biggest face in his life outside Lingzhou City, and also encountered the greatest failure. At that time, a Western Xia warrior was invincible in the battle formation. Liu Changzuo was very upset when he saw it, and shouted who would cut him? Guo Cheng slapped the horse and then rushed over, and the opponent was cut off the horse in one round. This was the greatest glory of a cavalry! The war horses crossed the shoulders, the hero flashed back, and the enemy's head and head were different... But before he was happy, the Xixia people who were overwhelmed with the earth rushed up. He played the life-threatening chops and slashed. After doing his best, he found that the tide had passed and he was still alive. The Xixia army had crossed him, broke through the Jingyuan army's defense line, and rushed towards the Huanqing army of the tall foreign relatives...

The Jingyuan army was in a complicated mood. Not stopping the enemy means they failed, but this caused a great effect on the Huanqing army. This blocking battle was very successful. Even Renduolingding himself was hit several arrows. I guess the overall combat power of the Xixia army has also dropped significantly. As long as the Gaoda foreign relatives are more capable and withstood Lingzhou City, the Jingyuan army can pounce on them again, attacking inside and outside to eat the reinforcements! But in the blink of an eye, the entire Jingyuan army was stunned. Gaoda foreign relatives are a miracle-creating person. The Xixia people rushed over and then disappeared. The Lingzhou city gate opened wide, the Xixia people entered, and the door was closed again, and the Huanqing army was still under the city... In other words, not only did they not eat, but they did not stop Renduolingding, but even the opponent's city gate was opened, but they could not rush in!

What's the point of besieging him? It's not the material for war, it's just tens of thousands of wastes gathered together! Although it's waste, it's still the superiors. Liu Changzuo collected all the snatched Western Xia reinforcements and sent them to Gao Zunyu's tent, hoping to get along well. Unfortunately, he hit the gun again. He didn't understand the same thing, and those who were in the upper hand and those who were in the lower hand are often two understandings! Just like giving gifts at this time, not only did he be wrong, but even Yue Fei missed it like this. The superior was on the head of the fire, and the more things he sent, the more he felt that his subordinates were showing off and slapped him in the face!

Gao Zunyu was furious and said, Liu Changzuo, you are defending the periphery, why didn’t you stop the enemy and ruin my siege? Someone came and pushed him out and cut him down!

After this order was issued, the entire military camp was in full swing. Gao Zunyu, you, a relative of the foreigners, are bullying people. The brothers are doing him! You are about to mutiny... To be honest, if you really want to mutiny, it may be a good thing for the fate of the Song Dynasty? Unfortunately, Liu Changzuo's personality traits are to take the overall situation into consideration. He took the initiative to go out and persuade his subordinates: Put state affairs first and no internal strife...

The internal strife did not happen, and the Song Dynasty continued to attack the city. But no matter how hard it worked, it was destined to achieve nothing. The opportunity had been missed! God had given the Song Dynasty two excellent opportunities! One was that Liu Changzuo was about to break through the city gate, and he was over. However, he was blocked by a military order and blocked the city gate of Lingzhou! The second was that he blocked Renduoling. Even if he could not take the opportunity to steal the city, at least he could not let reinforcements enter!

After missing both times, Lingzhou City not only had a strong city but also had a sharp increase in the number of defenders. After one declined and the other increased, the Song army no longer had any advantage. But Gao Zunyu was not giving up, and he wanted to continue trying...

On the 19th, Lu Fu and Peng Sun transported their baggage to Mingshachuan and encountered the ambush of the Western Xia. Three battles and three defeats were the only defeat of the Song army in the attack of the five-way attack on Xia! However, it determined everything... In late November of the lunar calendar, water dripped into ice, and the Song army not only did not have enough supplies, but even had enough clothes to protect the cold! The Lingzhou city where the city was high and deep, the only choice left for the Song army was to retreat!

On the 1st, Zhong Yan retreated to Suojiaping, Xiazhou. The army split here. The Wan Yinjun transferred from the capital to him because they could not bear the bitter cold and hunger in the northwest. They fled. In order to survive, this huge deserter not only took away the combat power of the Fuyan army, but also messed up the rear of Zhong Yan! In order to find food, they no longer cared about whether it was the Xixia or the residents of the Song Dynasty, and they all robbed them! This chaos was solved by Shen Kuo, who was the general leader of the rear of the Western Expedition Force. However, due to the long road of the cold, he could not provide Zhong Yan's supplies.

At this time, in the deep winter, the Zhong family army was in a desperate situation. If they did not escape in time, they would be destined to be destroyed by the Xixia people! The actual combat tests Zhong Yan's military genius, and the attack opportunities are full of changes, and retreat is also an art. Faced with the cunning and cruel Xixia people who have always been unfaithful and cunning, Zhong Yan played a trick: send people to challenge Xixia, and the queen of heaven will fight to the death!

The Xixia side immediately mobilized all the troops, gathered their troops, and remained vigilant. Do you know if the fox-like Zhong Yan would suddenly attack? After the queen, they rushed out of the camp and arrived at the agreed location. As a result, they waited left and right before they came, and sent someone to urge them to find that the Song army camp had been empty!

Zhong Yan ran away as soon as he issued the challenge letter... Back to China, he brought the best news to Song Shenzong. Among the five armies, he and the eunuch Li Xian, the two armies, captured the city and brought back some results. Such as Lanzhou City, Mizhi, Yihe, Wubao, Saimen, Futu and other villages. As for the five states of Yinxia? Although the Fuyan army captured, its troops were limited and it could not be saved...

On the 4th, Gao Da’s foreign relatives had stationed troops under the city and besieged for 18 days. More than half a month passed, Gao Zunyu was so angry that he could not take Lingzhou City and continued to vent his anger on Liu Changzuo. Nothing wrong, he was going to kill the other commander, only one level worse than him! The result is conceivable that the Jingyuan Army was furious again! The people were not killed, and the morale of the army further fell down... After repeated bullying and torture, Liu Changzuo finally became ill and fell ill in the military camp...

Depressed and deadly news came, Mingshachuan's grain road was robbed, so he retreated immediately! Gao Da's relatives did not faint this time, and he could listen to whatever his subordinates advised him. But he forgot who the people in the city were, and that was the god of war Renduoling Dangxiang! He was the most military-talented general among the Dangxiang people since Li Yuanhao, and at the same time he inherited the cunning and cruelty of the Dangxiang nation. He did not lead the army to take the opportunity to fight, but did something cruel: digging open the Yellow River...

At the end of November of the lunar calendar, the water of the Yellow River was biting cold and rushed to the Song army camp with ice. Fortunately, when the Yellow River was not the most abundant in this season, the people, horses and supplies were not completely destroyed... The Song army retreated urgently, looking back while walking, and Lingzhou City was left behind, but it should have been taken back! But now it can't care about so much. The most important thing at this time is to be vigilant and pay attention to the pursuit of soldiers at any time!

They were worried too much. At this time, Renduolingding still did not leave the city. The bad luck brought to the Song army by the Yellow River had just begun. In order to leverage the benefits of the Yellow River water conservancy, many canals were built in Lingzhou. These canals were crisscrossed and covered the surrounding land. As long as the Yellow River water flowed out, they would fill them up one by one, which was a natural barrier to block roadblocks. The Song army wanted to go over, but they could only destroy all kinds of weapons to build pontoon bridges and pass slowly in batches. If they wanted to speed up, unless they were swimming in the canal? In this way, Gao Zunyu and Huanqing's army were in front, and Liu Changzuo's Jingyuan army could only be given to him by the rear of the palace. Behind them, the Lingzhou city gate was finally opened again!

The war god Renduolingding appeared! Forced the Song army to speed up the retreat speed, and a small half of the Jingyuan army really jumped into the ice water and swam across the Changqu. After climbing up, the elite soldiers of the hundred battles also began to tremble, and in front of them, there were Changqu and Short Canal, and there were so many canals! One night, they were forced to camp between a large canal and a small canal... Huanqing, the two Jingyuan corps separated, and the opportunity for Renduolingding to wait finally arrived!

At night, Xixia launched a large-scale attack. The Jingyuan army responded alone, trembling in the cold wind, while swinging the knife desperately, and finally repelled the Xixia people. But none of the entire army was happy! They were all veterans, and they all understood this. Renduolingding did not want to swallow them at once, but tortured the Song army to death in the cold, shortage of food and ice water. The situation was stronger than that of people, and I knew that we had to go on this road... After finally crossing various canals, the second attack occurred at a pass. This time, the conscience of the tall foreign relatives Huanqing army broke out and sent generals Yu Xin and Ren Cheng to support them, but they all died in battle! Yao Lin, the deputy general of the Jingyuan army, went to fight, and barely passed the pass. The third attack was at the city of Weizhou. The hungry and tired Song army rushed to enter the city, and was robbed by Xixia and killed many people...

It was not until early January that the two teams retreated to the Song realm. At this time, they had used guns and bows to burn fire to keep warm. The entire army was frozen, hunger and injured, and suffered heavy losses!

The Huanqing Army entrusted the blessings of the tall foreign relatives, with a loss rate of about 1/5. The Jingyuan Army was hit hard. From beginning to end, it almost rushed forward and retreated behind, carrying the burden of the Western Expedition alone on its shoulders. With such a huge consumption, more than 50,000 soldiers and 5,000 horses were given back, and only 1,000 people and 000 horses were returned, and the number of employees was reduced.

Liu Changzuo was overworked and overworked, and fell ill under the city of Lingzhou. He struggled to return to China for a long time and was bedridden. A generation of powerful generals were depressed from then on and did nothing more...

On the 9th, Yanzhou Saimen and Futu Village were established. On January 0th, Yanzhou Yihe Village was established.

His eyes turned to the Great Liao Kingdom: On January 15, the second treacherous minister Zhang Xiaojie was demoted to the people and died a few years later. On the 19th, the first treacherous minister Yelu Yixin was prosecuted for "selling prohibited goods in foreign countries", that is, corruption, and should be executed according to law. However, Yelu Yange, a party of Yixin, said that Yelu Yixin, as the King of Wei, should be reduced by "Eight Discussions". Therefore, the first treacherous minister was tied up with large iron chains and imprisoned in Laizhou...

Yuanfeng 5th year [31 Novel Network] (108) On January 19, Song Shenzong rewarded merits and punished him, and "Female Yao and Shun" even strongly demanded to punish his unworthy uncle! Gao Zunyu was demoted to the deputy envoy of Yingzhou Tuanlian, and Liu Changzuo was demoted to the jurisdiction of Yongxing Jun Lu Jin. Only Zhong Yan was promoted for merits. On the 9th, the eunuch Li Xian was promoted to Jingyuan, Xihe, and Lanhui Legal Pacification Control. Yue, Tubo Zanpu Dongjin was awarded the title of Prince of Wuwei. As for the eunuch, King Zhongzheng? He did nothing? So he didn't reward or punish...

The most disappointing person is Song Shenzong. Since the beginning of the war, he was in a tense watch over day and night. He ordered the report of the Northwest War to be told immediately as soon as possible! Now the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The emperor wandered alone in the dark palace in the deep winter. Countless thoughts rose and fell in the depths of his heart. Years of grudges, over the past 10 years of hardship, the national destiny of the empire failed like this? This is not only a military failure, but also a struggle with the economic and national strength and the morale of the people. At this time, failure will not be known when and when will it be possible to regain its vitality! Correspondingly, the voices of the opposition and even the obstruction deep in the palace will arise... Is it really a matter of heaven that I do not bless the Song Dynasty?

This thought made Song Shenzong suffer severely. From this moment on, he knew deeply: it really failed? The great Song Dynasty and the glorious **** were really humiliated by the Northwest Joker! He, Song Shenzong Zhao Xu, like Taizong, Zhenzong, and Renzong, was not a genius or a famous master of Zhongxing, but just a mediocre person with great ambitions and treacherous talents!

Being strict with others and being strict with yourself has made Song Shenzong strive to be young and promising. However, this personality has great self-torture, which makes him unable to ignore failure and recover quickly. He fell into a whirlpool of depression, unable to do so, and unwilling to peel it off...

But may I ask: Did the five-way summer defeat really fail? It depends on how to define it!

If the success or failure is judged by Lingzhou City, then the Song Dynasty did lose. If the war itself is judged by the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty had the upper hand no matter what!

After nearly a hundred years of grudges with the Dangxiang people, the Song Dynasty fought several stages in the war. At first, the cannons bombarded mosquitoes. With the abundant military power of Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Guangyi, he could not catch Li Jiqian, who was as slippery as loaches, because of insufficient mobility. Later, during the field war, Li Yuanhao fought all over East Asia in an invincible way. Although the Song Dynasty had a large number of famous generals such as Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi, Zhang Kang, and Di Qing were at a disadvantage and barely maintained the border. This was because of the poor field warfare. Li Liangzuo was shot back like a hedgehog when he was sieging the city. It was a pity that the Song Dynasty's national strength declined at that time and there was no capital for expedition...

No matter how the Song Shenzong's five-way attack on Xixia was evaluated in traditional history books, just look at the achievements: the combat effectiveness of the Song army, especially the field ability, has completely overwhelmed the people of Xixia! In the five-way route, except for Wang Zhongzheng, the Song army failed to capture Lingzhou, all other achievements were won!

Even in the battle of Lingzhou, the failure of the Song army was not caused by the people of Xixia. First, of course, the tall foreign relative was so funny and he killed the imperial dream by himself. Second, the Song army was actually defeated by the weather! He chose to send troops in the bitter and cold seasons of the northwest. Unless he destroyed the entire defense line of Xixia without any obstacles, he would have to face heavy winds and snow outside the frontier. But this is not a mistake from Song Shenzong, who made the Xixia Kingdom strife at this time?

After seeing the results, then looking at gains and losses! This is a relative problem. It does not mean that the Song Dynasty suffered losses, but it is necessary to see how the Xixia people were in the same period. The losses of the two sides were basically almost the same. The difference is that the Xixia people were killed by the Song Dynasty people, while the Song Dynasty people were killed by the weather and the Yellow River water. Putting aside these, since the war was carried out in the Xixia territory, all the evil consequences were borne by the Xixia side alone. Historical records record that the Xixia "capitulated by Pibo" after the war

More than fifty thousand, the rest of the old and weak have changed, and cattle and sheep have fallen into destruction, and countless losses have been lost. Objectively speaking, the Yuanfeng period of Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty (Da'an period of Emperor Huizong of Xia) was a turning point for the military of the Western Xia Dynasty and the national strength was weakening! This is the benefit of active attack. Even if the war itself is dusty, it can still seriously damage the opponent and seriously damage the enemy's vitality. These war reports were submitted to Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty one by one as the war ended, and his sensitive and self-destructive mind began to gradually recover...
