Zhang Dunli broke through the southern city of Xiping Mansion, which is tantamount to good news for the Song army, and for the Xia army, this is tantamount to a catastrophe, the reason why the Xia army can continue to hold on, is entirely because of the high pool of Xiping Mansion, now this advantage no longer exists, the Xia army can only fight to the death, and the Song army has a brutal street battle.
In the middle of the night, a sound of horses' hooves sounded in the southwest of Xiping Mansion, and the 30,000 vanguard army led by Li Bingchang had rushed to the southwest of Xiping Mansion thirty miles away from the Song army camp.
"Quickly explain to this king how the Xiping Mansion was breached" Li Bingchang grabbed the spy by the collar and lifted it up and asked.
"Lord Yu, the Song army broke through Xiping Mansion from Nancheng, but the Song army did not occupy the whole city, but only took the Nancheng City Gate and a few nearby streets."
"That's what you should say, order the army to repair on the spot for two hours, the whole army must not make fires, no sound, send guard posts around, and once the Song army is found, kill on the spot."
"Yes, I'm going to give orders."
"Come personally, go with this king to reconnoiter the camp of the Song army."
Li Bingchang took dozens of people to quietly lurk on a small hillside next to the Song army camp, at this time the Song army camp was brightly lit, although separated by a certain distance, but Li Bingchang can still see the general deployment of the Song army camp clearly, looking at the moonlight Li Bingchang spread a piece of white cloth to the ground and began to talk about the Song army's defense map, although there are no professional tools, but Li Bingchang is still very similar, drawing homework This is the basic skill of every general of the Xia army.
"After I go back, I will summon the officers above the rank of chief and deputy general to receive the combat mission."
Li Bingchang said to the people around him while putting the map away.
"Yes, Lord Wang" After Li Bingchang returned to the camp, all the officers above the rank and deputy had gathered a total of twenty-six people, Li Bingchang gathered these twenty-six people around him and said: "This is the map of the Song army's southern camp Zhang Dunli, this is a camp of 100,000 people, and there is a Song army camp in the east of Xiping Mansion, according to the intelligence is the 150,000 army commanded by Xu Xi, that is to say, the total strength of the Song army is 250,000, but minus the losses of the Song army during this time, At that time, the total strength of the Song army we face should be between 200,000 and 250,000; The guard of the Song army is not very strict, these places marked by this king are the tents of the Song army, but this place does not have any lights, so this king guesses that this place should be a grain and grass camp of the Song army, after the army enters the Song camp, the first time to take this grain and grass camp, 30,000 iron cavalry to attack the Song army in the early morning tomorrow, this combat mission is to defeat the Song army, do you understand" "Lord Wang, our army only has 30,000 people, but the Song army has 250,000 troops, should we wait for our reinforcements to arrive before attacking."
A lieutenant suggested to Li Bingchang.
"Back then, Xiang Yu once led 30,000 Chu troops to defeat the 560,000 Han troops who led the gang, is it not as good as the ancients of a thousand years ago, if you are timid, you can leave the army from now on and go home to pick up your children."
"Lord, humiliation is not cowardice, my army is also responsible for recovering Xiping Mansion, so I am afraid that the prince will live up to His Majesty's expectations."
"This king has made up his mind, and tomorrow's battle is both a surprise attack and a decisive battle, and it will be decided in one battle."
"Obey the Prince's Orders" The next day, before dawn, Li Bingchang led 30,000 Xia army iron cavalry to embark on the journey, at this time the Song army was still asleep did not realize that the crisis had come, in order to increase the suddenness of the raid, before the expedition Li Bingchang ordered the horse to be held with steps, in order to have the effect of shock absorption, in fact, there was no effect.
Thirty miles is an instant for a cavalry, but the movement of thirty thousand iron horsemen running is not small, and 120,000 hooves are running wildly on the ground, and experienced veterans can feel it ten miles away; It's a pity that the army led by Zhang Dunli is all composed of new troops, although they are all veterans now, but they have never fought with cavalry, so they are still relatively unfamiliar with the sound of horses' hooves.
"Long, Long, Long" "What are you doing, you don't let me sleep early in the morning?"
"What's going on?"
"It's not dawn yet, what kind of drum are you beating?"
The Song soldiers in the camp in the camp of the Song army complained constantly, no one ever thought that this was the cavalry of the Xia army, and the battle had been smooth sailing in the past two months, basically making all the Song army generals think that the Great Xia Empire was nothing more than that, and they forgot that they were at war with even the second-rate and third-rate Xia army miscellaneous troops, and the real elite of the Xia army was coming back, for the Song army to forget this main army of the Xia army with a glorious record, it was equivalent to forgetting that they still had their heads on their shoulders.
"Kill, kill, kill" This is the roar of the Xia army from the depths of their hearts, they came for revenge, after rushing into the Song army camp, these Xia army knights forgot the fatigue of the long march, forgot everything around, they only have the word revenge in their hearts, due to the sudden attack of the Song army, many Xia people were murdered, and their heads were different; Among them are the parents of these Xia Jun knights, so in the face of the Song Army, they have nothing but revenge or revenge.
Because the Song army did not have the slightest preparation, 30,000 Xia troops were very smoothly killed into the Song army camp, after entering the camp they attacked everywhere according to the previous plan, first of all, there was a town of soldiers and horses first seized the Song army's grain and grass camp, in the face of the sudden attack of the Xia army's iron cavalry, the Song army did not have any preparation at all, and for a while the Song army camp became a slaughterhouse, which was completely one-sided slaughter, in the face of the Xia army elite who was already a veteran of the battlefield, the Song army was like a child who could just run, only passively beaten.
All that was left behind by the Xia army was corpses all over the ground, and many Song soldiers couldn't even find the corpses in the end, because they had been trampled into meat sauce by the Xia army's horses' hooves, and the Song army camp that originally looked indestructible was like paper paste, and it was punctured by the Xia army cavalry at once.
Zhang Miao, with hundreds of guards, came to Zhang Dunli's big tent and said: "Father, the Xia army has already entered the camp, hurry up and retreat, it will be too late if you don't withdraw." ” "Where did Xia Jun come from," Zhang Dunli asked with a shocked face.
"Father can't control so much now, you quickly take your father and marshal to withdraw, and tell the brothers to withdraw if they can, the big camp has been stirred up by the Xia army cavalry, and those who can run run run quickly."
"Yes, young marshal" Zhang Dunli and Zhang Miao collected thousands of soldiers and horses on the way to retreat, and under the protection of these people, the Zhang father and son fled eastward, but their luck was too bad, and they ran into hundreds of cavalry led by Li Bingchang.
"You protect my father and the commander to withdraw first, and I will resist them" "No, Miu'er, you go and fight with them for your father" "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and leave."
