That night, Li Dingchuan also received a report from Cao Ji'an. He had a premonition that this battle was more difficult than he thought. He needed troops and more troops, but Daxia is not as good as before, and it is impossible to deploy sufficient troops on all fronts... In terms of current military deployment, the 60,000 troops on the Shuofang battlefield have exceeded the Hexi battlefield, and the troops are only 20,000 to 30,000. At this moment, whether it is the Hexi battlefield or the Helan Mountain battlefield, it is actually difficult to draw troops to reinforce Karochuan.

There are rebellions inside the battlefield in Hexi, and there are attacks from Caotou Tatars, Huangtou Uighurs and Song troops outside, and their troops are already stretched. Helan Mountain is located in the capital. Under the attacks of the three Huli Army, it has to shrink its entire line and strive to ensure that the capital is not lost. There is no extra force to support Shuofang.

Li Dingchuan thought about a good opportunity and had already seen the intention of the Song army's attack. His only way at present was to block the frontal attack of the Song army in Gaizhu City and prevent the two Song army from joining forces. Then, when the trapped Song army was cut off and had to break through the siege, he could launch a fatal blow. But the problem now is that the trapped Song army has a large number of troops and uses themselves as bait. Their purpose is to restrain the main force of the Xia army to cooperate with the Song army to break through the defense line of Gaizhu City from the front. The Xia army lacked enough troops and could not eat the trapped Song army, which led to a deadlock in the battlefield. If the Xia army is not careful, it will lose all the game.

"I must hold the Song army under Tong'an City firmly and give Bailuoquan and Cao Ji'an enough time to attack." Li Dingchuan murmured to himself, feeling uneasy.

In the early morning of the fourth day of the lunar month, Xiao Heda from Gai Zhucheng sent news that Park Longcheng was in trouble.

Li Dingchuan urgently wrote a letter to Xingqing Prefecture, and at the same time wrote a letter to Renduobaoguo, Hexi, informing Karochuan of the war and requesting reinforcements.

In fact, he knew that the demand for reinforcements was very rare. When it was met, the main force of the Tiger Lie Army had reached the foot of Helan Mountain, and Kyoto was in a hurry, and Hexi was even more difficult to take into account the beginning and end. Neither the emperor himself nor Renduo defended the country, he could not give Karochuan more support. Unless the emperor decided to retreat to Hexi and rushed to Hexi with the main force of Helan Mountain, it was possible to mobilize troops to support Karochuan. However, Richard's defensive strategy was not to give up Helan Mountain, but to use Helan Mountain as a trap to consume the main force of the Tiger Lie Army, delay the war, and force the Tiger Lie Army to retreat.

Richard's defense strategy is not wrong, but the premise is that he must defend Karochuan, which leads to the very prominent contradiction between strategic requirements and insufficient troops. For this reason, Richard hopes that the emperor and the court will live and perish with the capital.

The determination to defend Helan Mountain to the end. This determination and the morale stimulated by this can be enough to reach a hundred thousand troops. In this way, Richard can rush to the Western Front to command the battle personally, and at a critical moment, he can draw some troops from Helan Mountain to support Karochuan. However, the emperor and the court must retreat to Hexi. Once they retreat to Hexi, it will not only affect morale, but also the main force must retreat, which is very likely to lose Helan Mountain.

The fall of Kyoto is a fatal blow to the military and civilians of Daxia. In addition, when Kyoto is lost, Shuofang's rear wings are exposed to the attack of the Tiger Lieutenant Army. Karochuan's defensive advantage is gone. How long can Shuofang last? Shuofang is lost and Helan Mountain is also lost. Dangxiang people defend a piece of Hexi to the death. How long can they last under the attack of the Western Regions Fans and the Tiger Lieutenant Army?

Over the past month, with the full attack of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army, various contradictions within Xingqing Prefecture were suddenly aroused, and the power struggle had become fierce, and the defense strategy was still swaying at this critical moment. The emperor and most civil and military officials were still preparing to retreat to Hexi, which led to the lack of morale of the army on the front line of Helan Mountain.

On the third day of the lunar month, the Keyimen Pass in the northern part of Helan Mountain was destroyed. Renduo Dongguang led his army to counterattack. The Sixth Army of Huliu fought bravely under the command of Tan Hongyi and firmly defended the Keyimen. Renduo Dongguang's troops suffered nearly half of their losses, and he was himself.

He was seriously injured and died without treatment.

This sudden change put the situation in He Lanshan at stake. Emperor Li Ganshun, like most civil and military officials, believed that it was Richard's mistake that caused the Great Xia Kingdom to fall into an unprecedented crisis.

On the fourth day of the lunar month, Li Ganshun issued an order to dismiss Richard from his official position, but it was the time to hire people. Li Ganshun did not drive Richard home, but asked him to lead his army to retake the Keyi Sect.

On the same day, Li Ganshun issued an order to dismiss Renduo from the country and ordered Li Renzhong to lead a 10,000 horse army to Hexi day and night, quickly stabilize the situation in Hexi and prepare for the emperor and the court to retreat to Hexi.

On the same day, Li Ganshun issued an order, ordering Li Anhui to lead 30,000 troops to lead a 30,000 troops to Karochuan to ensure the safety of Shuofang.

At this point, the Emperor Li Ganshun of the Great Xia, led by Prime Minister Liang Qishen, established a defensive strategy, that is, retreat to Hexi first to ensure the prosperity of the Great Xia. On this basis, stabilize Hexi, defend Karochuan to the death, and restrain the main force of the Tiger Lie Army on the Helan Mountain line, and abandon Helan Mountain if he had no choice.

On the same day, Li Ganshun issued an order that the prince stayed in Kyoto, the emperor himself, the royal family harem and the court officials, and civil and military officials evacuated Helan Mountain five days later.

On the fourth day of the lunar month, Yang Weizhong and Hou Ji's army attacked Tong'an City.

Li Dingchuan was overjoyed. He was worried that he could not hold the Song army back, but he did not expect the Song army to attack on him. From this, he judged that the Song army commander was a mediocre person. Of course, when a unit of the army was surrounded by Niujiao Mountain, the Song army commander did not rescue him quickly, but attacked Tong'an City. It can be said that it was a plan to surround Wei and save Zhao, and there was no mistake. But the problem is that the connection between this army and Zhenwu City has been cut off, and the food and grass weapons have not been replenished. In order to join the Song army head-on before the food and grass are exhausted, it is natural that he has to go south to break through quickly. At this moment, he is desperate to fight Tong'an, just to delay the breakout time.

Li Dingchuan then rushed to Bailuoquan and Cao Ji'an in Niujiao Mountain to encircle and annihilate the Song army at all costs.

Zhe Kecun commanded the 16th Army of the Tiger and Filipino, and the 17th Army had 20,000 troops to defend and wait for assistance, and the two sides fought fiercely.

On the same day, Yang Keshi commanded a large army to attack Shuibo City.

On the same day, Li Hu led two thousand tiger guards across the Yellow River and entered Pulong City.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, Yang Weizhong and Hou Qie's army retreated.

Li Dingchuan was even more happy, which was enough to show that the Song army had insufficient food and grass. The mediocre coach finally realized that he had wasted a day in vain.

Li Dingchuan urgently sued Niujiao Mountain and asked Cao Ji'an to lead his army to intercept it, so that the two Song troops would not meet. He also wrote to Xiao Heda, considering that the Song army attacking head-on was blocked by Shuibocheng, he asked him to send all the Gai Zhu Shou Army to participate in the siege and kill.

The Xia army in Niujiao Mountain attacked for a day and a night, exhausted. At this time, he heard that another Song army was coming quickly and had to draw troops to go north to intercept them.

Bailuoquan immediately sent someone to ask Xiao Heda of Gaizhu City for help, hoping that he would participate in this arduous encirclement and annihilation battle.

Xiao Heda answered one after another

When I arrived at the letters from Li Dingchuan and Bailuoquan, I had to lead my army out of the city to participate in the war. Fortunately, Niujiao Mountain is only 35 miles away from Gaizhu City and can return at any time.

On the afternoon of the fifth day of the lunar month, Bailuoquan and Xiao Heda joined forces to continue attacking.

Zhe Kecun knew that Yang Weizhong was coming quickly, and he was even more confident, commanded calmly, and guarded the battle formations tightly. His purpose had been achieved, and his current mission was to consume the enemy as much as possible while preserving his strength.

That afternoon, Wu's front-selling army and Cao Ji'an's intercepting Xia army met. The two sides fought bloody battles on a narrow mountain, and the battle lasted until dusk.

In the evening, Yang Weizhong transferred Zhang Gao'er's Yan Wang Army to the front and attacked overnight. His order was to kill the enemy with all his might and advance forward little by little. Yang Weizhong's purpose was to consume the enemy by relying on his military advantage. On the one hand, he forced the enemy to continuously increase troops to intercept them, alleviate the heavy pressure of Jie Keguan, and on the other hand, aroused the enemy's anger and threw more troops into the battlefield. When the enemy wanted to eliminate Jie Keguan as soon as possible, the closer they were to failure.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, Roland and Liu Ziyu took turns to attack and captured Shuibo City in the afternoon of the same day.

Yang Keshi ordered the army to go to the city to rest and act tiredly, and not to approach Gai Zhucheng.

That night, Li Hu arrived at the front line coach camp.

Yang Keshi spread out the map and explained the battle situation in Karochuan in detail to Li Hu.

The Song army attacked the front, which had already captured Pu Long and Shuibo City, thirty miles away from Gaizhu City. Sixty-five miles away, the main force of the Xia army was besieging the Zhe Kecun troops. Going forward, on a mountain ridge ninety miles away, Yang Weizhong and Hou Guy were fighting hard to attack and kill, trying to break through the Xixia people's blockade and converge Zhe Kecun.

"Yang Shuai, Yun Shuai sent someone to send a secret letter, asking us to conquer Gaizhu City on the tenth day of the first lunar month." Yang Keshi took a letter and handed it to Li Hu. "Yang Shuai said that if the Prime Minister's army arrived at the battlefield within the scheduled time, then the Xia army could not defend Gaizhu City at all under our internal and external cooperation. So his suggestion was that our next target of attack was not Gaizhu City, but Xia army in Niujiao Mountain."

Yang Keshi's big hand gently drew a line along the Karochuan on the map, and then drew a small circle between Tong'an City and Gaizhu City. "The north and south ends of Niujiao Mountain are our troops. As long as we take Gaizhu City with lightning speed, the Xia army will not have time to retreat at all."

Li Hu nodded slightly, "The messenger of the Zheqian arrived last night. He was very fast and could arrive here tomorrow afternoon."

Yang Keshi showed joy on his face, "Master, then we will attack Gai Zhucheng on the eighth day of the lunar month."

"Can the cash flow bet bet until the eighth day of the lunar month?" Li Hu asked worriedly.

"According to Yang Shuai, the Xia army's strength is comparable to theirs, which is also an important reason why the Xia army was unable to ride the tiger and had to do its best to attack Zaikakuan." Yang Keshi sneered, "The Dangxiang people thought that as long as they had eaten Zaikakuan, they would win this battle, but they didn't know that they had just fallen into our trap. Now, on the one hand, they had to stop Yang Shuai, and on the other hand, they had to siege Zaikakuan at all costs to win the battle. The doubts about victory were too great, and the people of Xixia could not give up this temptation, and they could only lose."

"Don't be too confident, it's better to be cautious." Li Hu smiled, "Send someone to find Yang Shuai and ask him to act according to his plan."

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, on the battlefield in Hexi, Yao Pingzhong commanded the Xihe army to fight fiercely at Yingya Fort for five days and firmly defended the position. On this day, Renduobaoguo received the imperial edict and learned that Richard was dismissed, he sighed sadly and handed over the military power to Ulanxinlong. Ulanxinlong immediately ceased the battle and waited for reinforcements to arrive.

On the same day, Brother Richard launched a mutiny in Xingqing Prefecture, killing more than a dozen foreign relatives and Han officials, including Liang Qishen, Xue Yuanli, and strongly advised the emperor to defend Helan Mountain.
