On December 28th, the Daqian Forbidden Army suddenly dispatched on a large scale. They first uprooted the Xixia strongholds at the passes of Hengduan Mountain, and then a vanguard army entered Hengduan Mountain.

It was still a big fanfare, a huge momentum, and there was a feeling of being outnumbered.

When many tribes in Xingqing Mansion saw this situation, they quickly reported the news to the Xixia people privately.

These people, while expressing their surrender to Daqian, even took out the food, with flattering smiles on their faces.

But at the same time, he secretly communicated the music.

Such aristocratic families are always accustomed to seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and they are no different from the aristocratic families in the Central Plains.

The reason why they can become a wealthy family is precisely because they are able to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and pursue benefits.

If we didn't have such ability, we would have already fallen into the long river of history.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

At the same time, Brother Richard, who had arrived in the Hengduan Mountains, finally saw the scouts sent out by the country's leader Li Qianshun.

To be fair, in this battle, Xixia was dejected, and now each one of them was like a child without his parents.

The capital of Xixia has been lost, three of the four core ruling areas have been lost, and the only Houtao area that is apparently still there is probably almost gone.

Therefore, this main battle is not so much a showdown as it is that the Xixia people were forced to the end by the alliances, conspiracies, raids, betrayals and other strategic activities of the surrounding powers. They had no choice but to use their last wave of big capital. Come and die for a life.

Originally, the people of Xixia should have taken advantage of the danger and waited for work. They were waiting for Meng Yuan, Beiyan and Dagan to kill each other to the death. After both sides suffered losses, he took the opportunity to take advantage. As a result, Xixia has now become the leader, being abducted by Meng Yuan, and then again. Abandoned.

Of course, it cannot be said to be abandoned. Meng Yuan did send cavalry to support, but there were too few cavalry and he had no real intention to support.

For these cavalry, they originally lived close to Xixia and the north of Shuozhou. They came to support them, but they had no choice but to obey Temujin's instructions, and then they also thought of giving it a try. If they could reach Xing The Qing Mansion successfully supported him. Not only could he keep Prince Daqian, but he could also ask for some benefits from Xixia.

However, this cavalry was stopped by Han Shizhong. Seeing this, the other party did not want to fight desperately, because they also suffered a lot of losses when attacking the golden thieves, and they all wanted to save their lives.

It’s not their tribe that Da Gan is attacking, so why should they work for the Dangxiang people?

Now, although Li Qianshun and Brother Richard can obtain all kinds of information from the other side of the river, it is only lagging and confusing, and they cannot obtain real-time military information at all.

But even so, Brother Richard still tried his best, braving the cold weather and running thousands of miles, hoping to unite with Li Qianshun to attack the Daganxi Route Army and then take back Fuxingqing Mansion. Because the situation was getting worse day by day, Cha I can't hold it off.

If it really drags on, the army will gradually disperse.

"Prince Daqian made a big mistake!|"

Early in the morning, Brother Richard immediately stood on the slope of a certain mountainside in Hengduan Mountain and spoke brazenly to the surrounding generals, not caring about the frequent reviews of the surrounding soldiers who were boarding the ship.

"And they are two fatal mistakes. One should not fight our party members in the Hengduan Mountains. Our iron kites are indestructible!"

"Second, we should not abandon the city defense and send out all the forbidden troops to pursue us, so that Xingqing Mansion is now an empty city!"

"When the time comes, we will unite with the king's pro-army, get rid of Daqian's imperial army, and then quickly return to Xingqing Mansion. We will surely be able to surround the Daqian Prince and force him to withdraw his troops!"

At this point, without waiting for the soldiers to respond, Brother Richard directly pulled out his sword and waved it in the air.

"In this battle, I vow to recapture Xingqing Mansion, and then assist Your Majesty and the Crown Prince to reestablish the Great White Kingdom!"

When the surrounding generals heard this, they each pulled out their sabers, raised their white blades, and shouted loudly.

After Brother Richard said this, he gritted his teeth, put away his sword, and urged his horse forward. The black bull banner behind him followed. They had already received the news about the leader of the country, Li Qianshun, and they must be very happy.

On that day, they met in a valley in Hengduan Mountain.

Naturally, the scene was full of harmony between the emperor and his ministers. Li Qianshun directly admitted his mistake and felt that he failed to protect Xixia. He said that after taking back Xingqing Mansion, he would directly punish himself.

Brother Richard naturally comforted and expressed his loyalty, and finally told him his plan.

Li Qianshun immediately supported Brother Richard with both hands and said that he would also hand over his 100,000 troops to Brother Richard. Brother Richard was also fully responsible for the battle to recapture Xingqing Mansion, and he was holding the battle from the rear.

Now it was a life-and-death battle for Xixia. He hoped that Brother Richard, the military god of Xixia, would be able to command with determination as usual.

After dusk, they left Hengduan Mountain.

We continued on our way at night, without even a torch, feeling in the dark.

It was not until the morning of the next day that we reached the northeastern area of ​​Xingqing Mansion and saw the pass of the Daqian Imperial Army.

Brother Richard directly took the lead, holding a horse spear and leading a small group of troops to attack the pass.

"Kill!"

The commander personally killed the enemy, and the morale of the surrounding sergeants was naturally boosted.

Upon seeing this, the Daqian imperial army at the pass was so frightened that they abandoned the pass and fled desperately.

However, two slow runners were shot and wounded, but were immediately rescued by their companions, and then ran away on fast horses.

In this way, Brother Richard led his men to fight directly to the plain area where Xingqing Mansion was located.

That is to say, we are completely out of Hengduan Mountain.

In front of you is a corner of the capital city of Xingqing Mansion.

However, when Brother Richard saw this corner, the excited expression on his face dimmed visibly.

The reason couldn't be simpler. The Xixia coach himself knew that he was just talking nonsense!

The reason for this is not because he is disloyal to Li Qianshun, nor because he is unwilling to fight to the death for Dabai Gao Kingdom, but because this Xixia Jin King, who is usually greedy for money and lust, and has various problems with Wei Ming Anhui, is indeed He is currently the commander-in-chief with the most military ability and military experience among the Xixia people.

Although they suffered defeats at Yue Shan's hands, they managed to save Xixia's Xingqing Mansion in the end, and finally Daqian and Xixia signed a peace contract.

After this battle, Brother Richard was also regarded as the military god of Xixia.

Obviously, since Daqian has a military god like Yue Shan, Xixia also needs a military god.

However, he was able to suffer defeat at the hands of Yue Shan, but the defeat was not so ugly. In the end, he fought a bloody battle with the Longwei Army outside Xingqing Mansion, and finally Yue Shan failed to break Xingqing Mansion, which is worthy of praise.

After this battle, Brother Richard also clearly realized the gap between the Xixia army and Daqian's Dragon Guard army.

So I started to learn from the Dragon Guard, whether it was heavy armor, light cavalry, crossbowmen, etc.

In this way, there is the iron kite of Xixia.

However, Brother Richard had carefully inquired from the people who had fled, and he had already known that this time the armor rate of the Imperial Guards was astonishingly high, and they also had excellent military discipline and strict military formations.

This kind of army is no less than the Dragon Guard Army back then, and it is what Richard is most afraid of. In other words, he knows very well that this kind of army is what Xixia's main force is afraid of.

This is not because he is afraid of the situation now, but because he was afraid of this kind of troops more than ten years ago.

That battle back then is still vivid in my mind!

Besides, how could a person as smart as Prince Daqian possibly free up Xingqing Mansion?

This is clearly a ploy to lure the enemy.

He can see it, but his subordinates can't!

But even so, he can only bring these people here, there should be a try, and there should be a result.

Isn't it?
