On the sixth day of the September 19th, the Xia army commander's tent.

Zhao Wenya's tone was calm and told the negotiations in detail, "Li Hu had no sincerity in negotiations at all. We could not agree to his peace agreement, nor did we agree to it."

"Li Hu's purpose is to delay the decisive battle." Li Renzhong sighed, "You can return to Xingqing Mansion as soon as possible and ask the emperor to issue an order immediately and allow us to fight the decisive battle."

Zhao Wenya hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I heard from Li Hu that the Song army will launch an attack on the southern line soon. If the decisive battle is to start, it is best to start immediately, otherwise the development of the situation will be very unfavorable to us."

Li Renzhong sighed. Without the emperor's order, who dared to fight to the decisive battle? Who can bear this responsibility?

Zhao Wenya hurriedly left. Renduo Baoguo stood at the door of the big tent, looking at Zhao Wenya's back, and let out a disdainful sneer in his nose, "What does he mean? Encourage us to take the initiative to attack so as to create opportunities for Liang Qishen to seize military power?"

Li Renzhong was stunned for a moment and sighed again. The emperor drove Richard to Hexi at this crisis, which made many royal ministers and Dangxiang powerful people very angry. The emperor had already decided to recall Richard, but Liang Qishen planned to frame Richard, which led to the intensification of the relationship between Han and Fan again. At this moment, the internal and external troubles of Xingqing Prefecture were both together. How likely is there to win this battle?

Renduo Baoguo walked to Li Renzhong and sat down slowly, "Look, are we going to take the initiative to attack?"

"No. absolutely not." Li Renzhong shook his hand quickly. "The emperor and the prime minister now place their hopes for resolving the crisis on peace talks. Li Hu has not refused peace talks yet. On the contrary, he lowered the conditions step by step and held up Xingqing Mansion firmly. If we take the initiative to attack and cause the peace talks to break down, who can bear this responsibility? If we were dismissed for this reason, the military power would be handed over to Liang Qishen."

Renduo Baoguo was irritable and restless. He kept holding his head and was at a loss.

The scouts kept reporting urgently. The Huli Army was building a floating bridge on the Camel River. The army was mobilized frequently and had already set off a decisive battle.

Li Renzhong and Renduo dared not slacken in their efforts to protect the country. They divided the army into three armies on the left, center and right, and defended the camp. At the same time, they urgently reported to Xingqing Mansion and begged the emperor to issue an order to fight as soon as possible.

On the tenth day of September, Liang Yifeng, commander of the southern front of the Xia army, reported to Xingqing Prefecture again. The Song army was assembled on a large scale. The attack was about to begin. He asked Xingqing Prefecture to allocate reinforcements in case of an accident.

Xingqing Mansion has no choice but to fight to the decisive battle and to defeat Li Hu can the situation be reversed.

On September 12, Li Qianshun issued an order to order Li Renzhong and Renduo to protect the country and launch an attack on the Tiger and Lieutenant Army.

On the fifteenth, Li Renzhong deployed an attack strategy in the commando camp.

According to scout investigations, the Huli Army deployed a large number of troops on both sides of the Tuo River, one on the Hongjiao, one on the Tuo Peak, and the other on the Shachuan River, and arranged for forty miles along the river.

The shape of the Luohe River is like a camel with a camel's mouth in the desert and a camel's tail in the Yellow River. There are two camels in the middle. The Tiger and Lieutenant Army was deployed in the Houtu Peak area, forming a battlefield of "Ji".

Where is the main force of the Tiger Lie Army? Is it in the "Ji"-shaped battlefield or on both sides? It is obvious that if the Xia army throws all the main force into the round cover, then once the two wings of the Tiger Lie Army break through the blockade, the Xia army will be able to surround the set, forming a turtle in the jar.

"Our strategy is to attack the enemy's wings first and drive the enemy troops to the north bank of the Camel River." Li Renzhong said, "If the main forces of the Tiger Lie Army are in the trap, then when we break through its two wings, we can implement a counter-encirclement and surround the main forces of the Tiger Lie Army in Hetao."

"What if Hetao is just a bait for the Tiger Lie Army?" Li Dingchuan, the head coach of the Capture Army, said, "If Li Hu uses Hetao as bait and hides the main force on one wing, then when we implement a breakthrough between the two wings, one of the wings will be besieged. The breakthrough between the two wings will be defeated, and the troops will be seriously damaged, and this battle will be defeated."

"When the two wings break through, the central army only conducts restraining attacks, and the main force is hidden behind and ready to go." Li Renzhong replied immediately, "Once the main force of the enemy is found, he will immediately join the main force and strike head-on."

"If we make a mistake in judgment, the main force is lured into the flanking battlefield by the enemy, and the main force of the enemy comes out of Hetao, how can we deal with it?" Li Dingchuan was not polite and choked Li Renzhong with one sentence.

Li Renzhong knew that he had no record of fighting and had no prestige among generals and generals in the army. When encountering such a thing, he could only ask Renduo to protect the country.

"According to our estimates, the size of Li Hudi's army is about 200,000." Renduobaoguo said, "Li Hu wanted to keep the army to guard Datong, to guard against the Jurchens' sneak attacks. Moreover, Daibei's financial resources were extremely limited. He spent a long expedition and the army was expensive, so he must control the size of the army. Based on my estimate, it would be good to have about 150,000."

"We will use 200,000 to speculate on Li Hu's troops deployment." Renduobaoguo pointed to the land of Keyimen on the map, "Li Hu deployed tens of thousands of troops at the Keyimen, which is necessary. He must restrain the right wing army in the direction of Keyimen and ensure the safety of the Tiger Lie Army's flanks. In this way, he can mobilize to the Camel River to fight to the decisive battle.

There are more than 100,000, which means that we must have soldiers on the battlefield of decisive battles.”

Ren Duo Baoguo looked at the generals and smiled, looking very confident.

"After careful discussion with King Han and I decided to invest 50,000 troops on each of the left and right wings. In this way, even if Li Hu ambushed the main force in one of the two wings, he could not eat 50,000 troops in one bite. We still have enough time to break through the middle, and then divide the Hu Lie Army into two, and use the main force to attack and kill its main force, so that we will definitely defeat Li Hu."

Renduo Baoguo spoke with great weight, and no one dared to question it, so the commanders of each army quickly led their troops to advance to the battlefield according to the order.

On the 16th, Camel River, Hump Peak.

The Xia army finally dispatched, and the scouts of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army all returned the revenge. The tent was busy, and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

"General General, the army of Lingzhou is rushing towards our left wing, while the army of Helan Mountain is advancing towards the Hongjia area." Chai Yun made a mark on the map, "The Xia army was divided into three, and the Capture Army, as the central army, is rushing towards the hump back."

"How many troops are estimated to be on the left and right wings of the Xia army?" Li Hu sat behind the case, looking through the urgent reports from each army, and asked.

"The specific number is hard to say, but according to scouts, the Xia army's troops on the left and right wings should be as many as tens of thousands." Chai Yun hesitated for a moment and said carefully, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be 50,000 on one side. So far, the Xia army cannot judge the position of our main force. The only way for them is to attack the two wings first and implement breakthroughs from the two wings to find the main force of our army. Attacking the flanks with 50,000 troops should ensure a breakthrough."

"This matter cannot be guessed, it must be confirmed." Li Hu smiled, "Tell Gao Baolong and Yelu Ma Ge not to have any worries, do their best to fight the enemy to the death, force the Xia army to attack the middle lane with its main force, and wait for the Xia army to enter the trap, and we can give them a fatal blow."

Chai Yun nodded and immediately wrote an order, but was uneasy. The Xia army gathered its main force in the middle. If they successfully restrained Gao Baolong and Yelu Mage on both wings and launched a fierce attack from the middle, how sure is the Tiger Lie Army to defeat the Xia army?

Dong Xiaochou walked in from outside the tent and sat next to Li Hu, "What's going on with the Keyimen?"

"Are you worried that the Right Fang Army will take the initiative?" Li Hu handed a stack of emergency reports on the case table to Dong Xiaochou and asked casually.

"Once the Xia army sees out our strategy, we know that the siege is just the grain-shooting army transporting food and supplies, and it is very likely to take the initiative." Dong Xiaochou frowned slightly and looked worried, "Can Hu Litao do this well?"

"I believe he can do it well," Li Hu smiled. "He used to be responsible for the firearm workshop in Yanjing City, and was very experienced in the manufacturing and use of firearms. I asked him to command the grain shooting army alone to attack the Keyimen, which was because he was attracted by this."

"Do you allow him to attack the city with firearms?" Dong Xiaohou asked in surprise, "This will expose our strength too early and may have a significant impact on the final battle."

"The power of firearms is limited, and the Northwest Army has always used firearms. The Xia army will not be unfamiliar with or fearful of this kind of thing." Li Hu shook his hand and said indifferently, "Let Hu Litao use firearms appropriately to deceive the Right-wing army of the Keyimen, making them mistakenly think that the siege army is our main force."

"You really want to shoot the food army to attack the city?"

"Yes, I have issued an order." Li Hu said, "The bluffing will be revealed sooner or later. You must attack appropriately, so I asked Hu Litao to think of a way to achieve the purpose of the attack with as little as possible."

Dong Xiaochou wanted to speak but stopped. He asked the grain-shooting army to replace the main force to attack the city, which was purely to die, but now the troops were limited, so under special circumstances, he had to make some necessary sacrifices.

Shachuan.

The commander of the Lingzhou Army, Ayabu, led his army to approach the Luotuo River.

Ayabu was originally the leader of the Dangxiang people on Jingyuan Road of the Song Dynasty. He led his army to the Xia Kingdom more than ten years ago and was valued by Li Qianshun to guard Lingzhou, the hinterland of the Xia Kingdom. His power and status were completely different from those in the Song Dynasty. Li Qianshun had the kindness of knowing him, so of course he would repay him to the death.

The scout rushed over and found the tiger and brigade several miles ahead.

"How many people are there?" Ayabu was worried about encountering the main force of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army and was very careful.

"The enemy has set up a battle formation, and there are probably only more than 10,000 people." Although the scouts did not dare to get too close, the terrain here was relatively flat, and the grassland and Gobi are endless. How many enemy people can see clearly.

"More than 10,000 people?" Ayabu was surprised and looked around immediately, "Have you seen it around?"

"Within ten miles, everyone has found out clearly and no other enemy troops have been found."

How is this possible? Ayabu didn't believe it. He brought a 50,000 army to fight in a mighty way. It was impossible for the Tiger and Lieutenant Army to know, and would not use ten thousand people to fight. There must be a reputation here.
