On the fourth day after Cao Bin and Xixia reached a consensus, more than 90,000 cavalry troops from the Liao Kingdom finally arrived.
Cao Bin and others were already impatient with waiting. Seeing that the Liao people were about to arrive, they directly ordered the army to retreat thirty miles to the west and set up camp.
Although they have a good chance of winning, they cannot wait where they are.
If the Liao people directly attack the camp regardless of losses, they will be extremely happy and sad.
Moreover, there were only more than 40,000 people left in the Song camp. The rest faked their death and hid in the Helan Mountains, waiting for the Liao people to take the bait.
"Guards on the city, listen. Our Daliao reinforcements have arrived. Open the city gate quickly and welcome us in."
After the five thousand vanguard troops of the Liao Kingdom arrived at Xingqing Mansion first, they immediately came to call the door.
A head poked out from the city and said:
"My Queen Mother has ordered the friendly troops of the Liao Kingdom to camp in the eastern suburbs outside the city. She will send people to reward you all later."
The pioneers of the Liao Kingdom were furious when they heard this and said:
"Fart, open the city gate quickly, or I will turn your Xingqing Mansion into powder!"
The Liao troops under the city also showed signs of indignation.
I and others came to rescue Xixia. I thought that the other party would welcome them warmly, but unexpectedly they were rejected.
How could they know their general's plan? Once Xixia opens the city gate, the Liao army will take control of Xingqing Mansion and turn against the guests.
Before setting off, Emperor Liao had already made it clear.
The purpose of sending troops this time is to capture Xixia, and at the end of the day, to control them.
Otherwise, the Liao State would not have placed its heavy troops in the northwest, but in Hebei.
It's just that the Xixia people are not fools. How could they let the Liao army enter the city?
After scolding each other for a long time, the Queen Mother rushed to the city wall with her civil and military officials. Seeing the people under the city spitting curses, they couldn't help but look ugly.
They did not expect that the Liao people would not take Xixia seriously.
Upon seeing this, Wu Zangying Pang quickly leaned down and shouted, fearing that the Liao people would target Xixia.
"General, now that the Song army is on the side, it is not appropriate for us to engage in internal strife. How about we discuss the matter of setting up camp when Mr. Xiao arrives, the summons envoy?"
If there is a conflict with the Liao army now, not only will the plan discussed with Cao Bin not be implemented, it will also put Xixia in a dangerous situation.
They were willing to secretly help the Song army because they wanted both Song and Liao to suffer losses.
Instead of Xixia rushing to the first place.
He was also very depressed. Did Song and Liao countries consider Xixia to be easy to bully?
No matter who it is, the first thing they do when they arrive at Xingqing Mansion is to find fault with Xixia.
Damn it, the Song Army is not far away. Isn’t it good for you dog to bite dog?
The Liao general heard this and shouted angrily:
"Fart, we have received the report from the spies. The Song people only have 40,000 remnant troops left, but they will be destroyed in a single move."
"If you don't open the city gate, I will plunder Xixia. When my two armies gather together, I will kill you and Cao Bin!"
The people in the city also reacted.
This was because Cao Bin's strategy of reducing troops was overdone. As a result, the Liao people did not take the remnant armies of the Song Dynasty and Xixia seriously, so they behaved so arrogantly.
Wu Zang Hei Yun looked around and said:
"It seems that the Liao people are overconfident. Who is going to teach them a lesson?"
In order for the plan to proceed smoothly, the Liao people can only be sober.
Cao Bin also did not expect that the Liao people looked down upon the Song Dynasty's combat power so much.
He was also afraid that the strength he retained was too strong and the Liao people would not dare to attack rashly.
If he had known this earlier, he would have achieved good results by luring the enemy directly.
Hearing Wu Zang Heiyun's words, the civil and military ministers looked at each other and became silent. It wasn't that they didn't dare to go down.
But there is no confidence. After all, the Liao people are famous for their combat prowess, and Xixia's elite have suffered heavy losses.
If they were to fight soldiers against soldiers, they would not have much confidence.
There are not many soldiers in the city, and they cannot bear the responsibility if they lose another 5,000 people.
The Empress Dowager Wu Zang said angrily:
"Are we Xixia warriors all so cowardly?"
At this moment, Mi Yixiangyun came forward and said:
"Queen Mother, let me go."
Wu Zang Heiyun was stunned for a moment, looked at her suspiciously and said:
"Are you kidding?"
Mi Yixiangyun knew a little bit about martial arts, but he had never led an army in a war.
If you let her go, wouldn't it mean she's going to die?
Mi Yixiangyun said:
"Today's fragrance is different from yesterday's fragrance. I am willing to lead two thousand people to defeat the enemy!"
Worried that Cao Bin's plan would not go smoothly, she would have no choice but to die.
What she is best at is small and medium-sized cavalry battles, and this kind of battlefield is nothing but trivial to her.
Seeing that Hei Yun was still hesitating, Xiang Yun said:
"I would like to issue a military order."
Wu Zangheiyun said:
"...Okay, I'll give you three thousand men and horses, and you must save your life."
"Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to him!"
It's not that she doesn't want to give more, five thousand people really can't afford to lose.
Mianyi Xiangyun nodded and said:
"Don't worry, Queen Mother, Xiangyun only needs 2,000 people!"
With that said, he immediately went to the city to order troops.
The Xixia people were reluctant to give her Iron Kites, so they only gave her two thousand proton troops.
Seeing the bows and arrows drawn at the top of the city, the Liao army's vanguard quickly retreated. When he saw the city gate opened, the Liao general smiled and said:
"Do you still want to fight me, Daliao? Let me show you the combat power of our army."
After saying that, he ordered the soldiers to continue to retreat, leaving a place for the Xixia people to shoot.
At this time, Mi Yixiangyun rushed out of the city gate with two thousand light armored cavalry.
When General Liao saw the number of people who came out, he seemed to be insulted and said with blue veins popping on his forehead:
"How dare you underestimate my Daliao soldiers like this? Come on, let me see what you are capable of."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and his five thousand cavalry troops immediately formed a wedge formation. Then, with a strong wave of his hand, the two armies rushed towards each other.
Seeing that their cavalry was like a skilled swordsman, directly cutting the Liao army in half, some ministers who were not familiar with military strategy said in confusion:
"How can the Liao army be so useless? They can't even defeat two thousand of my men!"
"In that case, why should you be afraid of him?"
Brother Wei Mingwei said speechlessly:
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Our army can achieve such an advantage only because of that female general!"
"Her tactics are very powerful..."
Bu Zhi Hei Yun's eyes were bright. She did not expect that Mi Yi Xiang Yun only stayed with Cao Bin for a year and actually had the ability to fight.
I couldn't help but think of what Xiangyun said when Cao Bin blessed "Liang Zuo".
Could it really be that magical?
In just half an hour, the battle under the city was over, and the Liao general fled in panic with more than 2,000 remaining soldiers.
Wu Zang Heiyun looked at Wu Yi Xiang Yun with bright eyes, and secretly decided to keep her by his side.
She didn't believe that her great kindness could not win back Xiangyun's loyalty.
Noon the next day.
The Daliao Northern Route Army recruited envoy Xiao Puda and led the army to Xingqing Mansion in a mighty manner.
Wu Zangyupang quickly went there with more than a hundred carts of wine and meat to reward and apologize.
Xiao Puta welcomed him into the tent and said as if nothing happened:
"The Prime Minister is too polite. It was the general who should have gone to apologize..."
Since Xixia is still quite powerful, let's unite with Xixia to defeat the Song army first, and then go back to deal with Xixia.
