To the north of Xingqing Prefecture, a 100-man Song army cavalry was galloping on a low hill. This was a battalion of cavalry. The cavalry organization of the Jingzhao Army was smaller than that of infantry. The infantry was 300 as one battalion, and the cavalry was 100 as one battalion. The chief officer was called the general, which was the original Dutou.

In order to prevent the Xixia nobles from transferring their wealth, Li Yanqing sent 10,000 scouts and cavalrymen of Tiance Guard to divide them into 100 teams to inspect the north of Xingqing Prefecture. In addition, a large number of ships were sent to intercept the Yellow River.

More than a hundred cavalry rushed to a hill to pause. At the foot of the hill was an endless forest. At this time, a soldier suddenly pointed at the woods and shouted: "General Wang, there is a strange color over there!"

General Wang Qiu immediately looked at it carefully. After a while, several soldiers also shouted, "There is movement in the woods!"

Wang Qiu also saw that there was a figure of a horse rider there. He immediately ordered: "Go down and take a look!"

A hundred cavalry rushed down the hillside and ran into the woods. After a moment, they rushed into the woods, but as soon as they entered the woods, a cold arrow shot, almost hit Wang Qiu, rubbed through his ear, and nailed it to the big tree.

Wang Qiu was startled and immediately shouted: "The other party has a guard, use a shield!"

The soldiers took off their shields one after another. At this time, several more arrows shot. A soldier's war horse was shot. The war horse neighed and fell to the ground, pressing the soldiers under him. Several soldiers quickly dismounted and dragged the suppressed soldiers out.

"Damn it, fight back!"

The soldiers did not find the target, so they raised their crossbows and shot in the direction of the arrows. A burst of arrows shot by, and only a few black shadows ran out from behind the big tree and rushed south.

The soldiers were about to chase after the horse, but Wang Qiu waved his hand and said to a lieutenant team: "Thank you, you will take twenty brothers to chase after you. His mother wants to lead us away, but I won't be fooled!"

These people actually ran south, how could the other party go south?

Xie Ai team led twenty cavalrymen and shouted and chased after several black shadows. However, Wang Qiu led the rest of the soldiers to the front of the other party from the outside. There was a path in the woods, and they buried in the end of the path.

Soon, a camel fleet came to the south, about a hundred camels loaded with boxes and sacks. An old man from the Dangxiang tribe rode a horse in front of him. In addition to the camel husband, there were about thirty guards with knives. They kept looking south, looking quite nervous.

When the camel team walked more than twenty steps away, Wang Qiu pulled out a crossbow arrow to carry it into the crossbow. After getting on the string, he raised the crossbow and aimed at the old man in the lead. He hooked his finger and hung his knife, and the crossbow arrow shot out with a "swoosh!". The arrow was fast and fierce, hitting the left shoulder of the old man Dangxiang. The old man Dangxiang screamed and turned over and fell off the horse.

The cavalrymen came out together and shouted to kill the thirty guards. The thirty guards fought desperately, but the opponents of the cavalry were killed in just a moment, without leaving a single one.

Several camel husbands were so scared that they were squatting on the ground with their heads in their arms, trembling all over. Wang Qiu pulled out his battle knife and jumped off his horse to the old man Dangxiang. The old man was shot through his left shoulder with an arrow, and begged at dyingly: "Give me your life, don't kill me!"

"Tell me the truth, I won't kill you, and I will bandage you an arrow, but if you dare to lie, they will end up with you!" Wang Qiu pointed to the corpse all over the ground and said viciously.

"I dare not!"

"Then, who are you and what are you transporting?"

"The villain is the second housekeeper of the Minister of War Yinggui, and he sent a batch of gold and silver to Datong Prefecture!"

"Hmph! I would rather give it to the Jin soldiers than leave gold and silver to buy my life. It's really damn. How many batches did he give in total? Which batch are you in? Are there any teams that transport wealth before and after?"

"I don't know how many groups of villains are in total, but we must be the first group of British governments. There seems to be a team to transport supplies behind us, about ten miles apart."

Wang Qiu immediately said to his subordinates: "Bandrn up the arrows and take them back and hand them over to the intelligence camp for questioning."

He walked to the camel and raised his knife to slash a large sack. The sack was suddenly split into a big hole. With a 'clang!', dozens of large silver ingots rolled out from it, each of which weighed at least fifty taels. The sack was at least two thousand taels of silver. The heavy objects on the camel were lost. Two boxes rolled down from the other side. The lid of the box opened, and there were dozens of yellow gold inside.

Wang Qiu probably understood that the sack contains silver and the box is gold. No wonder there are many sacks and few boxes.

With great gains, Wang Qiu ordered his subordinates to put away the gold and silver again and let the soldiers guard him. He led the remaining soldiers to kill to the south, and he wanted to intercept another team.

Five days later, 120,000 Song troops arrived at the capital of Xingqing Prefecture, the capital of Xixia. This was the first time that Xixia was attacked by enemy troops from the capital.

At this time, the Xingqing Prefecture was almost over. The chief of the Tuoba tribe personally led 20,000 cavalry to Xingqing Prefecture, and the Tuoba tribe could not provide more troops. The 20,000 people were brought back by his son Tuoba Wei.

They rushed to Xingqing Prefecture in time and went to guard the city. The 10,000 Iron Harrier Scouts who were originally going to Henanshan also changed their plans because the coalition forces were completely wiped out and continued to stay in the city.

In addition, Li Qianshun ordered the recruitment of 200,000 Dangxiang civilians in the city, and 50,000 were recruited, but the armor in the city was only enough to arm 20,000. Xixia had severely lacked pig iron and had not built new weapons for two years. The only little weapon in the armed warehouse was also given to the Dangxiang coalition.

The current 20,000 deputy soldiers are still searched from the people's residences in the city. In this way, there are barely 50,000 soldiers in the city and 30,000 civilians as war support.

Among these 50,000 troops, 20,000 new soldiers were Dangxiang farmers. They were not able to fight on horseback like herders. They only know how to farm and basically have no combat power, so they can be ignored.

The Song army fought with them for another 20,000 people, and their combat effectiveness was average, and they were defeated by the Song army.

However, the Iron Harrier Scout Army is more famous. The dragon has no tail. There are only three thousand real Iron Harrier here, and the remaining seven thousand are the more good at fighting Poxi Army.

In the morning, a team of Dangxiang came to the south gate. Among them were Prime Minister Cao Jing and Minister of War Yinggui. They were ordered to go to the Song army for negotiations to see if they could resolve the crisis of destruction in Xixia through peace talks.

The city gate slowly opened, and dozens of Western Xia cavalry guarded the two important officials and headed towards the Song army camp ten miles away.

At this time, Li Yanqing did not intend to attack Xingzhou City. He was still waiting patiently. Xingqing Prefecture was like a piece of bait, which wanted to attract all those who supported Xingqing Prefecture, wipe out one by one, leaving no hidden dangers, and make the Xixia ministers in the city gradually lose confidence, and the money fell down and scattered. At that time, the time to attack Xingqing Prefecture was truly ripe.

Of course, the court must also give face, and it may not be a bad thing to let the court participate in the last step.

The large camp of the Song army was stationed ten miles south of Xingqing Prefecture. Li Yanqing had already sent the news of attacking Xingqing Prefecture to Lin'an by sending a message from the flying eagle. This is a relay message. The first stop is to Chang'an City, and then the pigeon message is sent to Chengdu Prefecture, the third stop is Jiangling, the fourth stop is Jiangzhou, and the last stop is Lin'an Prefecture, which takes at least five or six days on the way.

If you send someone to deliver a letter, it will take at least one month, and the journey is too far.

In the military camp, Li Yanqing was checking the various wealth seized by the patrol soldiers in a large tent. These were all the nobles and senior officials of Xingqing Prefecture were preparing to transfer the wealth. They were intercepted by the Song army's patrols. They were both in the water and land, and various boxes and cages were piled like hills.

Yan Qing, who was in charge of this operation, introduced to Li Yanqing: "Brothers have captured thirty-two groups of teams, far exceeding our expectations. There are only eight groups of water and land, and the others are all carried by land, transported by camels, various gold, silver, jewelry, silk, and satin, as well as many gold, silver and precious carpets from far away in the West, which can be said to be jaw-dropping."

"Where did they transfer their wealth?" Li Yanqing asked again.

"Most of them have been transferred to Datong Prefecture, but a small number have also moved to the Hetao area. There are Heishan Weifu Army Division in Xixia, with thousands of garrisons and a city called Haicheng. I guess they want to use Haicheng as their new foundation."

"That was their infatuated dream, but I was a little surprised. Why did the Xixia nobles believe that Jin Guo would give them up like they were for their ancestors, and would honestly protect their property for them? Nothing was done!"

"I can answer this question!"

A hearty laugh came from behind. Li Yanqing turned around and saw Liu Wei, the governor of Xihe Road, walked in quickly. Li Yanqing was surprised, "When did Liu Jingluo come?"

"I just arrived, and I came to report the situation to Marshal Du."
