The Xixia army was mobilized urgently, a large number of soldiers and horses were transferred to the border, and a full 200,000 people were removed from the central local army as a reserve force.

As the vanguard is the Capture Army, which is known for its elite mobility, and there is also a well-trained garrison stationed in the capital area.

This is also one of Xixia's heritage. It has excellent equipment and is the main force of the Central Guards.

Li Qianshun specially selected 10,000 soldiers and horses and sent them to Li Liangfu.

And Li Liangfu's army is just a vanguard. After the real army is assembled, Li Qianshun will personally lead it towards the border to support.

The censor doctor Bali Zuren also held a staff and headed straight for the Liao Kingdom as fast as possible, although now those people can only be called the remnants of the Liao Kingdom.

But it is true that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Yelu Dashi has now ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. He also has generals Xiao Urila, Xiao Chala Abu, Yelu Yanshan, Yelu Tiege and others under his command.

Although he is not a strong soldier, he can really fight.

Over the years, the Song and Jin people were fighting to the death. Xixia was resolving internal troubles, and the remnants of the Liao Kingdom were not idle either. They pushed all the way westward and moved their capital to Balashagon, and then fought against famous local forces such as the Seljuq Empire. , did not fail, and even had many victories.

After Xixia's imperial censor Bari Zuren rushed all the way into the Liao Kingdom, he directly asked to see His Majesty Yelu Dashi of the Liao Kingdom. At this time, of course he did not dare to call the general and shouted to His Majesty to ask for reinforcements.

Although Yelu Dashi did not seek revenge against him because of Xixia's special geographical location, he did not want to have any more entanglements with these white-eyed wolves.

But since Bali Zuren was sent here, he naturally had his own methods.

“I would like to ask Your Majesty the Liao Kingdom, is it possible that Cheng Cheng really doesn’t want to return to his ancestral land and avenge those who died back then?

Now that I heard that His Majesty is heading west, do you want to find a new way to stay away from the disputes in the Central Plains and leave the land of Mobei? "

"You don't need to use words to provoke me. When Li Qianshun betrayed the late emperor, if we hadn't been unable to spare any effort, do you think you could still be alive and well?"

"Your Majesty, what was right and wrong back then has no meaning anymore, but now Your Majesty wants to know that the Mongols are so ambitious. If they are really allowed to invade our Xixia land, where will they attack in the future?

Can't they just attack the land of the Jin people?

Are you going to fight back to Mobei, fight to the death with the Song people and the Jin people, or... go on an expedition to the west! "

After hearing the last two words, Yelu Dashi's face became gloomy. This was what he was worried about. It didn't matter how much of a bastard Li Qianshun of Xixia was, he didn't dare to launch troops easily.

But... But Mongolia is different. I really didn't find out at the time that the Mongolian tribe had such methods.

After seeing Yelu Dashi's silence, Bari Zuren breathed a long sigh of relief, and then continued to persuade softly.

"My Majesty knows that he cannot stop the Mongolian cavalry, but for the sake of friendship with His Majesty, he is still willing to fight to the end, and he is still willing to fight to the death with the Mongols, even if he is killed in the end and the country is destroyed.

It’s just that my Majesty hopes that Daliao can make preparations in advance, so as not to be attacked by Mongolian tribes in the future and suffer heavy losses.

Then I will really have failed my Majesty’s sincerity! "

Looking at the messenger Bari Zuren who was about to move him to tears, Yelu Dashi couldn't help but sneer, but he also knew that what he said was the truth, and he really had no choice.

"Don't pretend to be so pitiful here anymore. I will send Marshal Xiao Chala'abu, the Privy Councilor, to personally lead 50,000 reinforcements to rescue you Xixia.

As for whether you can keep it...it depends on whether your emperor dares to fight for it! "

Regardless of the sarcasm in those words, as the messenger at this time, Bali Zuren could only express his gratitude!

At this time, the Mongolian army had bypassed the Nakile tribe's army and directly inserted into the territory of Xixia Kingdom.

Heishui Town Yanjunsi is the garrison of Xixia and one of the two major border towns in northern Xixia.

At this time, Li Liangfu entered with his troops and horses, and once again strengthened various defenses, constantly digging trenches, building deer villages and resisting horses.

It's just that at this time, his deputy general Ren Dejing is still a little worried, because they put almost all their strength here, and they really have no control over the other entrance to Xixia, the Heishan Weifu Army Division.

This couldn't help but make Ren Dejing feel horrified.

"General, although our troops came with light cavalry on this trip, this place is suitable for our army's deployment, but the Black Mountain Weifu Army is also a top priority. If the Mongols don't care about this place, they can directly come from the Black Mountain Weifu Army." Si enters.

How about I wait? "

After hearing the deputy general's words, Li Liangfu was not worried or angry.

"The general originally knew Xi'an Prefecture from the Song Dynasty. He doesn't know much about northern Xixia, so it's no wonder he asked such questions.

It would be fine if the Mongolian army did not go to the place where the Black Mountain Weifu Army was located. If they really dared to go, then a certain family could only say that their lives would be completely in danger.

We are currently in the Yan Army Division of Heishui Town. The Black Water he refers to is the big river to the west of us, and there are plains in front and behind.

On the east side is the Black Mountain Military Division. At this time, we are tightly guarding this place, and it looks very difficult to attack.

But although the Black Mountain Military Division seems to be loosely defended, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Behind them is a river flowing, and the cavalry cannot pass through unless they have sufficient naval forces.

But this thing can't be found on the entire grassland, and the Mongolians can't ride on the waves.

If they bypass the river and continue deeper, what awaits them will be the Baima Qiang Town Military Division!

Not only are our Xixia's elite soldiers and horses stationed there, but also the best of the best are stationed there. To the east of them is the raging river, and to the west are us and the Klei army that has arrived. There may even be Reinforcements from the Liao Kingdom!

If they want to retreat back the same way, they will find that there is an elite army named Bubazi on the mountain of Heishan Military Division that they broke through easily before.

You may have heard of Bu Ba Zi’s name! "

"This is natural. The Iron Yaozi, Bubazi and Poxi are the army that Xixia is famous for. Among them, the Iron Yaozi are covered with armor and are strong. They collide and fight without moving forward. The Iron Buddha Tu of the Jin Kingdom is what we can learn from.

As for the Bubazi, they are composed of strong men from the mountain tribes. They can go up and down the hillside and enter and exit the streams. They are the best at crossing heights and distances and are good at walking with light feet. "

"Exactly!" Li Liangfu laughed loudly, "The Mongolian can either fight to the death with me here, or go to the Black Mountain Army and die. He has no other choice."

Hearing Li Liangfu's arrogant tone, although he was still a little worried, he knew that he was originally a general, and he only gained such a status by sending his sister to the Western Xia Palace.

In Li Liangfu's heart, he may not think highly of himself, so there is no point in saying more.

Time passed slowly, and many arrangements had been completed. At this time, the messenger from the Kled tribe also told them that reinforcements would arrive here in fifteen days at most.

At the same time, the scouts in front informed Li Liangfu that the Mongolian vanguard had arrived fifty miles away, and the two sides might meet today.

After hearing the news, the Xixia army immediately stood ready, and Li Liangfu personally came to the front, holding weapons and quietly waiting for the enemy's arrival.

But this wait lasted most of the day.

Seeing that the momentum of the army behind him had slowly declined, Ren Dejing once again had a bad feeling.

But before he could speak, Li Liangfu roared loudly.

"Mongolia is cowardly and wants to use such tactics to destroy the morale of our army. How can we let him succeed?

This general has an order. If we win the battle today, everyone will be rewarded a consistent amount of money. Those who have meritorious service will be rewarded twice as much, and those who died in battle will be doubled again. I will support their families, wives and children! "

Li Liangfu is a Xixia general. Although he is different from the famous generals back then, he is still enough to guard one side. At this time, boosting morale before the battle really made the morale that had just been low break out again.

At the same time, the Mongolian army finally arrived belatedly before dusk arrived.

"Rat people, they can only play tricks and tricks, they are nothing to worry about!"

I don't know where Li Liangfu got the courage to say such words when he looked at the menacing Mongolian cavalry, but it was precisely because of this careless look that the morale of the Xixia soldiers was completely aroused.

"Charge and crush them!"

The moment the Mongolian army appeared, there was no extra rest, no morale boosting before the battle, no name-calling for surrender. The leader, An Bahai, just pointed the riding whip in his hand forward, and then the army rushed over immediately.

If there is anything special about the Mongolian cavalry, it is their orders.

"Destroy the enemy, slaughter the city, and have fun!"

This is what supports the morale of the Mongolian army. This is the willingness of the Mongolian army to be invincible. After victory, everything is available!

There is no need for any reward, because after victory everything is theirs.

"kill!!"

With a roar, the army rushed straight towards the Xixia army under Li Liangfu. This tragic momentum even made the legs of the Xixia army, which had just recovered their morale, start to tremble again.

"Don't be afraid, they are just bluffing, they don't have the ability, hold on, hold on!"

"Crossbowman, shoot!"

"Trebuchet, trebuchet!"

"Quick, prepare the crossbow and shoot again!"

Orders came out one after another, and one Mongolian cavalry died on the way to the charge, but when the Mongolian cavalry rushed within 70 steps, they took out their bows and arrows.

Everyone bent their bows and set arrows in unison, then looked up to the sky and roared, released their fingers, and the arrows rose into the air, and then fell towards the Xixia army.

"Raise your shield!"

A shrill roar broke out, but hundreds of Xixia soldiers died tragically on the spot under the rain of arrows.

But the rain of arrows still did not fall. Seventy steps, a short distance of seventy steps, the cavalry charge was just a moment, but the Mongolian army was able to shoot three rains of arrows.

It wasn't until the moment they rushed into the formation that they turned the crossbows in their hands into scimitars and spears.

The Mongolian army at this moment made the Xixia soldiers and horses who claimed to be elite see what the real elite was.

The spears opened up the Luzhai and Juma along the way, and the horses leaped over the trench full of spikes. The Mongolian army wasted little time and rushed directly into the position of the Xixia army.

The leading general, An Bahai, leapt on his horse and held a sword and rushed straight towards the Xixia general Li Liangfu.

"Boy, take your life!"
