Brother Richard tried his best and led his entourage to fight.

Ayabu's turnaround gave him a fatal blow. Now he must block the Huli Army. Give the troops of Dingzhou, Shunzhou and Huaizhou to win the retreat time. Otherwise, Xingqing Prefecture will not be able to defend and Daxia will be over.

Li Hu also personally led his army to the front line.

The Dangxiang people never retreated until their death. Almost all the elite troops of the capital garrison were put into the battlefield. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the prince of Xixia even personally led the Proton Army to the battlefield. The Proton Army was the Central Guard Army of Xixia, the elite among the elite troops.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Zhe Keqiu arrived with the elite Northwest Army. The Huli Army launched a storm-like attack on the Xia army with about 80,000 troops.

At dusk, both sides lit bonfires, held high torches, and continued to fight.

Li Hu saw that the Xia army was too tenacious, and the various units of the Huli Army took turns to attack, but they did not advance within two hours, which made him extremely angry.

"Where is Hong Yun's grain shooting army? Haven't crossed the Yellow River yet?" Li Hu turned around suddenly, pointed the horse whip in his hand and asked loudly, "And Abaddon, where is he now?"

Zhu Xia hesitated for a moment and said carefully: "The situation of the war changed too quickly. Suddenly we took Jingzhou and then fought fiercely with the Xia army, which caught us off guard in the allocation of troops."

Li Hu snorted lowly, his anger even more. Although he knew that Zhu Xia was saying it was true, he now needed troops and more troops to break through the Xia army's obstruction and quickly surround Xingqing Prefecture.

"Our main forces have arrived in Jingzhou. Yes. Lumage and Dugu Feng are restraining the Xia army in Huaizhou. The only troops that can be mobilized at present are Abaddon's Hulie Second Army and Hong Yun's Food Shooting Army. However, the food shooting army is deployed between Jingzhou and Huaizhou. The Hulie Second Army is responsible for its security. In a hurry, neither army can reach Jingzhou."

"How long will it take? How long will it take for Hong Yun and Abaddon to arrive at the battlefield?"

Zhu Xia looked up at the dark night sky, and then looked at the battlefield where the sound of killing sounds shook the sky, small

He said, "It will take at least half an hour."

Li Hu frowned and was anxious.

Among the four cities around Xingqing Prefecture, Huaizhou is from Xingqing Prefecture. The nearest is about twenty miles. If nothing unexpected happens, this army has withdrawn from the capital. Dingzhou to the north and Shunzhou to the south are about eighty miles away from Xingqing Prefecture. The Xia army in the Dingzhou direction can definitely withdraw from Xingqing Prefecture. Now the only thing that can be blocked is the army withdrawn from the Shunzhou direction.

Li Hu thought for a moment, and immediately said, "Order Han Shizhong, Wu?, Luo Lan, and Yang Zhi to withdraw from the battlefield immediately and attack towards Shunzhou."

Zhu Xia knew Li Hu’s intention as soon as he heard this, “Master General, I think the main force should be gathered to attack and kill the main force of the Xia army, consume the Xia army’s troops, and prepare for our next attack.”

"Brother Richard is already crazy. He is now a mad dog. He fights with his life. If he continues to fight like this, killing one thousand enemies will damage himself by 800. It is not cost-effective." Li Hu shook his head and said, "The Xia army in Shunzhou is evacuating in panic. We take the opportunity to attack and catch them off guard."

Zhu Xia felt it was inappropriate and wanted to persuade him again, but Li Hu firmly shook his hand to stop him. "The Xia army has fewer troops on the Helan Mountain line. Since we cannot stop the evacuation of the Xia army in Huaizhou and Dingzhou, we must completely wipe out the Xia army withdrawn from Shunzhou to minimize the defensive forces of the Xia army."

"What should we do on the battlefield here?" Zhu Xia said, "We have the advantage of military strength. As long as we persist for a while, we will be able to defeat the enemy and flee."

"As long as Hong Yun comes and the food shooting army arrives, our troops on this battlefield will have a great advantage, and the rockets and rockets in Hong Yun's hand are enough to cover tens of thousands of troops." Li Hu sneered, "Since I am absolutely sure to defeat the Dangxiang people on the opposite side, why should I give up the encirclement and killing of the enemy troops retreating from Shunzhou?"

Zhu Xia did not dare to say anything else, so he hurriedly sent someone to pass on the order.

At the third hour of You, Hong Yun and Abaddon rushed over with the Grain Shooting Army and the Tiger Lie Second Army.

Four hours of You, shooting

The 20,000 crossbowmen from the Food Army entered the battlefield and began to shoot rapidly at the Xia Army. The dense array of arrows was overwhelming and immediately gave the Xia Army a head-on blow.

At the fifth hour of You, the grain shooting army pulled the camel cannon into the battlefield. This small throwing car fixed on the hunchback shot burning fireballs into the enemy formation. Then, a huge roar came one after another, or exploded continuously, and the land collapsed for a while, and the sky and the earth were shocked.

The Xia army's attack was blocked, with heavy casualties and heavy morale hit.

The Song and Xia fought for decades. The Song army repeatedly used firearms to attack on the northwest battlefield. The Xia army was already familiar with this weapon, but this weapon was generally used to defend the city and was less used in field battles. In the last battle of the Camel River, Li Hu used firearms to attack the enemy for the first time in field battles in the northwest battlefield, and it played a surprising role in winning. It can be said that a large part of the contribution to the Camel River victory was to this kind of firearm with great power after improvement.

This time, the Food Shooting Army was the same as the law, throwing five hundred thunderbolt fireballs at the most critical moment. This insane bombardment immediately stunned the Xia army. The courage to move forward was suddenly swallowed by huge fear, and the Xia army's offensive suddenly weakened.

Li Hu made a quick decision and ordered Abaddon to lead the Second Hulie Army to launch the most fierce attack on the right wing of the Xia army. Ten thousand knights formed a huge cone battle formation, killing the enemy formation with invincible momentum. The Western Xia garrison could not resist, and the flanking battle formation collapsed after persisting for a moment of tenaciousness.

At the same time, Hong Yun commanded 20,000 crossbowmen in the Food Shooting Army to cover the front of the Xia army with dense artillery rockets. The Xia army could not fight and retreated slowly.

Luo Qinghan, Zhe Keqiu, Gao Baolong seized this rare opportunity and commanded tens of thousands of troops to launch an attack at the same time.

The Tiger and Lieutenant Army roared and roared all the way, launching a charge with majestic momentum.

The Xia army soldiers were both disintegrated and no longer had the courage to face the battle head-on, and retreated one after another.

The Prince of Xixia led the Proton Army to fully strive to stabilize the position, but under the crazy shooting of artillery rockets, the man was overturned and the horse was unable to compete. During the fierce battle, the Prince of Xixia's mount was killed by an arrow. The Prince fell off his horse and immediately fell seriously injured and fainted. The entourages on the left and right tried to rescue him. The Proton Army had no intention of fighting again and escorted the Prince to evacuate the battlefield quickly.

At the third hour of the night, Brother Richard ordered the withdrawal of the battle.

That night, Han Shizhong, Wu, Luo Lan and Yang Zhi led their troops to surround the Xia army evacuated from Shunzhou. The two sides fought fiercely for several hours. It was not until dawn that Zhe Kecun led his army to arrive, and then the enemy was wiped out.

In this battle, more than 4,000 levels were beheaded and more than 8,000 prisoners were captured.

On the morning of the 12th, the Tiger and Lieutenant Army advanced to Xingqing Prefecture City and surrounded the Xixia Capital.

=

This record was beyond everyone's surprise. No one expected that Li Hu arrived at the Helan Mountain battlefield on the fourth day of the 12th, and commanded the army to break through the outer defense line of Xingqing Prefecture and surround the Xixia capital.

On the 12th, Yelu Mage and Dugu Feng led their army to join Li Hu.

At noon, Yelu Deguang led the Khitan army to Xingqing Prefecture.

In the afternoon, Tan Hongyi and Tian Yi led the Sixth Army of Hulie and the Western Liao Army to the north gate of Xingqing Prefecture.

At this point, more than 200,000 soldiers of the Tiger and Martyrs surrounded Xingqing Prefecture and were blocked.

In the evening, in Li Hu's commander's tent, the commanders of various troops gathered to discuss strategies to attack Xingqing Prefecture.

Li Hu didn't look happy. In the battle of Jingzhou, almost all the main forces of the Hu Lie Army were on the battlefield, but after three hours of fierce fighting, the Hu Lie Army had an absolute advantage, but only severely damaged the main forces of the Xia army. From this, Li Hu discovered a problem. As the Western Expedition entered the final stage, from Yelu Mage's Khitan Army, Gao Baolong's Bohai Army to Dong Zhongsun's Heishan Army, Hu Jiayong's resentful army, and Zhe Keqiu's Northwest Army, were all interested in preserving their strength and were unwilling to fight with all their strength.

Li Hu was convinced that if the ten Huli army were invested in this battle, it would definitely be a devastating blow to the main force of the Xia army. Unfortunately, the main force of the attack in this battle came from various factions in the army. Although everyone absolutely followed their orders, it was greatly reduced in the process of executing the orders.

After the Western Expedition, the army must be consolidated and more troops must be integrated into the Tiger and Martyrs' Army. Otherwise, this trend of lip service will become more and more serious, which is very unfavorable to the future war of unification.

Zhu Xia stood in front of the map, marked the positions of each army one by one, and then adjusted the deployment of troops. According to his vision, the main attack direction would be placed on the line of the East City Gate.

"According to our estimates, the number of defenders in the city is about 30,000 to 40,000." Zhu Xia was in a very good mood and his tone was very cheerful, "This is the last battle, conquering Xingqing Prefecture and destroying Xixia. Our Western Expedition will be considered to be the end of victory."

Luo Qinghan stood up and said loudly: "The situation on the Helan Mountain battlefield is very good, but unfortunately, the entire battle situation is not good for us."

Luo Qinghan walked to the map and analyzed the current situation for the generals, "We have been launching the Western Expedition on the 10th of October to now for two months. In the past two months, we are fighting in Helan Mountain, Shuofang and Hexi battlefields at the same time. The loss can be imagined. Before the end of the year, even if we conquered Xingqing Prefecture, we will be a tired army. If the Jurchens attack Daibei, the southeast rebels attack Jingxiang, or the two armies join forces

When we attack the Central Plains, we will all fall into extreme passivity.”

"I believe everyone has the answer to whether Xingqing Prefecture can be conquered by the end of the year." Luo Qinghan looked at the generals, frowned, and continued, "Although we have been very lucky since the Western Expedition, Xingqing Prefecture is tall and strong, with tens of thousands of troops in the city and hundreds of thousands of people. If we want to conquer Xingqing Prefecture within one month, the possibility is slim."

Luo Qinghan said this and turned his head to look at Li Hu. Li Hu nodded slightly and signaled him to continue.

"For this, we must make two preparations." Luo Qinghan said, "In order to ensure the safety of Daibei and Hedong, the Khitan army, the Bohai army and the Linyan army must return as soon as possible. Hu Shuai took half of the grain shooting army and evacuated with him."

"When will you evacuate?" Yelu Mage asked immediately.
