...

The battle between Xia Jun and Ren Dejing's rebels was very fierce.

This was something that neither side had thought of before the war.

In other words, this is also very normal. Once the war starts, the direction is often beyond anyone's control, and it can only depend on the situation.

I won’t go into too much detail about the specific process.

Although Xia's army was half smaller than Ren Dejing's rebel army, but because Xia's army was a mourning army, Xia's army finally defeated Ren Dejing's rebel army with a slight advantage.

Ren Dejing, who never thought he would lose, was not prepared to lose, but was killed by an army led by Brother Li Cha for more than [-] li, and blood flowed like rivers along the way.

After this defeat, Ren Dejing, who lost more than half of his army, had to lead the remnant army to leave Xiazhou, and then retreat to Yingli in the west.

On the other hand, although the Xia army was the victor, but because the battle was too fierce and the number of the Xia army was small, Brother Li Cha did not chase after Ren Dejing. After the Dejing rebels drove out of Xiazhou, Brother Li Cha gathered his troops and wanted to secretly lick his wounds!
however--

Unpredictable!

At this moment, the Western Xia court sent Brother Li Cha a distress letter—Li Renxiao said in the letter that Wu Jie had already personally led the army to the west, heading straight for Xingqing Mansion, and asked Brother Li Cha to lead the army back immediately Qin Wang...

……

At the same time, Ren Dejing, who was preparing to lead the remnants of the army to Xiliang, also received news that Zhang Xian of the Chinese Army had just taken down Liangzhou Mansion, and they could not go to Liangzhou Mansion!
Ren Dejing was shocked, and hurried to find the person who reported the letter, and personally asked what was going on?

After the reporter saw Ren Dejing, he told Ren Dejing exactly what happened not long ago.

turn out to be--

Just when Wu Jie led the army to attack the Hengshan area, Zhang Xian also led the Longyou army out of Longyou to the city of Wulahai.

Not long after, Zhang Xian divided the Longyou army into east and west, and ordered Li Congyi to lead the east army to capture Heishui City, and then marched in a detour to Helan Mountain, defeating the insufficient number of Xia troops left behind, and finally stationed in Hunchui Mountain. I led the West Route Army through Xizhou Uighur, and successively captured Shazhou, Suzhou, and Ganzhou. During the siege of Ganzhou, the West Route Army also encountered stubborn resistance from the defenders, and finally Zhang Xian went into battle to capture it himself.

Soon after, Zhang Xian personally led an army to Liangzhou Prefecture. Wang Zhi, a confidant of Ren Dejing, the guard of Liangzhou Prefecture, did not dare to resist when he saw the dark clouds of the Chinese army, so he abandoned the city and surrendered.

So far, the Hexi Corridor has completely fallen.

……

in fact--

From the very beginning, Dazhong, or Wu Jie, the commander-in-chief of this battle, had no intention of regaining Xixia through talks—talks are useful, so what do you want these generals to do?
Therefore, while Wu Jie paralyzed Li Renxiao and Ren Dejing, he secretly ordered Zhang Xian to take advantage of the emptiness in the northwest of Xixia to attack from west to east. , and defeated Xixia in the first battle.

In other words, in fact, since the Chinese army attacked Hengshan, the end of Xixia's demise was already doomed.

As for the battle between Xia Jun and Ren Dejing's rebels, it was a complete accident.

……

Before Wu Jie led his army westward, he sent Yang Zaixing to lead the Tianxia Yiying and Zhe Kecun to lead the Zhejia elite to surprise Xingqing Mansion.

The Qingqi led by Yang and Zhe did reach Xingqing Mansion one step ahead of Brother Li Cha.

But Li Renxiao had already prepared for this. He organized the people of Xingqing Mansion to close the city gate and all go up to the city wall to resist.

This made Yang Zaixing and Zhe Kecun, who were all cavalry, could only watch helplessly as the fighter plane lost.

Soon, the army led by Wu Jie and the army led by Brother Li Cha almost reached the city of Xingqing Mansion.

Li Renxiao sent an envoy to question Wu Jie, why did he tear up the covenant and attack Xixia for no reason?

Wu Jie directly kicked the ball to the imperial court and said: "A certain family was ordered to recover the entire territory of Xixia. As for the others, the certain family does not know anything. If you want to ask the reason, you can go to the capital to ask the court in the future. Now, the certain family will give you one day. Unconditionally open the city and surrender, a certain family promises not to kill innocent people indiscriminately. If you do not open the city and surrender when the time comes tomorrow, my army will immediately attack the city. By then, your lives will be safe, and a certain family will not dare promise."

Faced with Wu Jie's unreasonableness, everyone from Li Renxiao down was extremely angry!
Later, Li Renxiao discussed with everyone and decided to fight once.

There are three reasons why Li Renxiao and others made this decision:

The first reason is that brother Li Cha had just defeated Ren Dejing's rebel army, which was twice as powerful as Xia's army, which gave Li Renxiao and others the confidence to defeat the Chinese army.

The second reason is that Wu Jie doesn't have many troops. If there are more, it's only [-] to [-], which is only half of Xia's army.

The third reason, Li Renxiao has already understood a truth, that is, what can't be obtained on the battlefield, can't be obtained on the negotiating table either.

Under the expectation of Li Renxiao and others, the Zhongjun and Xia Jun launched a decisive battle under the city of Xingqing Mansion.

Xixia took the lead in attacking with its usual method.

This battle is related to the fate of the Xixia Li family, Brother Li Cha dare not go all out.

Under the command of Brother Li Cha, Xixia's Poxi Army took the lead in attacking.

The Chinese army responded with bed crossbows and flying gods.

In this wave of battles, the Poxi army gained a slight advantage thanks to their good mobility.

Seeing this, Li Renxiao and others felt a little relieved, and brother Li Cha also took this opportunity to decisively send out the iron kite, preparing for a battle to determine the outcome.

however--

Brother Li Cha was a little unexpected, and even a little uneasy, that in the face of the imposing iron kite, the Chinese army did not do anything else except continue to fight back with bed crossbows and flying god thunder.

This made Brother Li Cha, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, very confused. He didn't understand how Wu Jie wanted to fight this battle?
Wu Jie didn't make Brother Li Cha wonder for too long.

Soon, the frontline troops of the Chinese army raised their muskets.

In the land of two arrows, as soon as the iron kite started to accelerate, the muskets of the Chinese army began to shoot in an orderly manner.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

"Bang bang bang bang..."

"Bang bang bang bang..."

"..."

After a crackling sound, Xixia's previously invincible iron kite fell down in pieces, including people and horses.

By the time the iron harrier reached the point where an arrow was shot, there were not many left.

The Chinese army fired another round of gunfire, and the frightening iron kite was wiped out.

In this battle, in the Chinese army, except for one unlucky soldier who was shot in the arm by a stray arrow, there were almost zero casualties!

This kind of victory scared all the Xixia people, and Li Renxiao even sat down on the ground with one buttocks paralyzed!
Afterwards, the Chinese army began to move forward in an orderly manner. The muskets in the hands of the soldiers of the Chinese army were like the scythe of death, ready to go forward to harvest waves of lives.

This kind of waiting to die without any resistance made Xia Jun's soldiers breathless!
The Chinese army is getting closer!

Ten arrows away!

Five arrows away!

Three arrows away!

It's almost two arrows away!

Brother Li Cha ordered with red eyes: Charge!
And personally participated in the charge.

Some warriors of the Xia army obeyed Brother Li Cha's order and charged forward with Brother Li Cha at their own risk!
but--

More people fled under the command to charge—they didn't want to die!

The muskets still harvested the lives of Xixia warriors in an orderly manner, and Brother Li Cha was the first to bear the brunt, he was shot dozens of times in a row!
But although Brother Li Cha was bleeding from his whole body, he still brandished his saber and rushed forward, and finally fell in front of the Chinese army with his BMW!

Before he died, brother Li Cha desperately threw the saber in his hand, and an unlucky soldier of the Chinese army fell in response - the old general saved the last bit of face for Xixia, an empire that had once been glorious in the past.

But at the same time, the middle cavalry also came out from behind the Musketeers.

What followed was a one-sided massacre.

Xia Jun suffered a crushing defeat.

Li Renxiao, who saw all confidence and hope shattered in this decisive battle with his own eyes, closed his eyes, and then gave an order: Kaesong surrenders, stop making unnecessary resistance.

Xixia perished.
