The Xihe Legion set out from Lanzhou and entered Nuzhe Valley eastward, defeated the Xixia army at Nuzhe Valley, and continued to march towards Tiandu Mountain.

In early November, Xixia gathered tens of thousands of elite cavalry to fight with the Xihe Legion in the foot of Tiandu Mountain. There was no suspense that the Xixia vanguard was annihilated and only escaped from the rear team.

Wang Shaochong went up to Tiandu Mountain and burned the palace left by Li Yuanhao to white ground.

However, local victory cannot save the overall situation.

After the news of the failure in Lingzhou city reached the capital, Zhao Xu fell into deep disappointment. However, if the war reaches this point, it will be meaningless to continue to fight. He can only order the withdrawal of troops.

Five roads to attack the summer, with the beginning and the end of the tiger.

First of all, the incompetence of some leading generals. For example, Gao Zunyu was responsible for the heavy responsibility. Wang Zhongzheng sent troops to only half a month of food and supplies;

Second, the logistics supply cannot keep up, and the difficulties of such a major battle are insufficient. The Song army was not defeated by the Xia army, but by the weather.

In this battle, the Song army showed strong field combat capabilities, and its military strength had completely surpassed the Xixia army. The Fuyan army captured Mizhi and the Xihe army captured Lanzhou. Due to fighting in the enemy's territory, Xixia suffered particularly heavy losses.

Although the Song army was forced to withdraw this time, after this battle, the military and national strength of the Western Xia began to decline.

The Song Dynasty's army withdrew from Xixia, and the Xixia breathed a sigh of relief. They were ready to start negotiations with the Song Dynasty and urged the Song Dynasty to continue border trade.

The war in about half a year has caused a severe blow to the Western Xia economy, and the Western Xia urgently needs the Song Dynasty's commodities to re-enter.

Then, things didn't seem that simple.

The Xixia people discovered that many bandits appeared overnight in the vacuum area after the Song army retreated.

The Xixia people thought that these bandits were easy to deal with, so they sent small groups of troops to clean up. Unexpectedly, the troops sent were gone and some survivors escaped. Only then did the Xixia army find that their opponents were not that simple.

The bandits appearing in the vacuum zone are not simple. They have excellent equipment, swords, guns, swords and halberds, and even more selected armor and horses. The soldiers and generals are the elite among the elites. They come and go like the wind, and they cannot see anyone in ordinary troops.

At first, the people of Xixia suspected that it was left by the Song Dynasty's army, but after protesting with the Song Dynasty, they found that the Song Dynasty was also confused.

Because the bandits also attacked the Song army, they expelled the Song Dynasty's army. The Song Dynasty defenders wanted to leave, but were forced by these powerful opponents to retreat completely. The Song Dynasty believed that these people were from Xixia.

The envoys of Song and Xia looked at each other in surprise.

However, they all thought that the other party was lying, and they all sneered and parted in disagreement.
