Chapter 2469 Frontier Strategy
The back road was cut off, and Xixia's hundreds of thousands of troops were in a desperate situation. The hundreds of thousands of troops consumed a lot of food and grass every day. Now because the back road was cut off, they could only get a small amount of supplies through some long distances, and then they were besieged by the Northwest army. A few days later, the Xixia army began to experience a shortage of food and grass.

The Xixia court was extremely anxious, and did not hesitate to mobilize the troops supported by the grasslands and Persia to attack the frontier fortresses, trying to break through the encirclement of the Northwest Army of the Central Plains.

The frontier fortress of Xixia was exceptionally strong. Although the troops invested by the Northwest Army were not large, they stubbornly withstood the coalition forces of the grassland and Persia with strong city defenses and artillery.

The coalition forces stormed for a few days but failed. The besieged army of Xixia split into two groups, sacrificing their lives to hold them back.The northwest defenders of the border fortress are in danger.

Faced with this situation, the Northwest Army immediately launched a general attack on the Xixia army after the breakup. The Xixia army after the breakup faced the Northwest army. The equipment was at a disadvantage, the quality of personnel was not superior, and the morale could not be compared with the Central Plains army. The only advantage in numbers is gone.

The time, place, and people are all in place. The Xixia army staying behind is naturally no match for the Northwest Army. After struggling for a few days, the defense line was broken by the Northwest Army, and the two sides launched a big scuffle.

On the other side, compared with the dominant Northwest main force, the defenders of the frontier fortress are much more difficult. The enemy is several times stronger, flanking front and rear, and is in danger of being breached at any time.At this time, both the enemy and us are actually fighting for time. If the main force in the Northwest can wipe out the remaining Xixia army before the border fortress falls, then the Xixia army will basically be finished.But if the Xixia elite can take the first step and break through the frontier fortress, the Xixia army will have a chance.

As for Xixia, wars were raging everywhere at this time. Ren Dejing, who thought he was going to die, came back to life because of the Northwest Army's counterattack, and even began to order the army to recapture Xiazhou and Yanzhou.

In addition to Ren Dejing starting to mobilize troops again, Xixia also began to appear. Some careerists raised the banner of resisting tyranny. Zhou Yi knew very well that many of them were actually rebels supported by Jin Yiwei.

The entire Xixia has fallen into chaos, and the Xixia court has also reached a point of difficulty. The Xixia court is also very clear that the only hope now is to break through the border fortress and withdraw the Northwest Army.

For this reason, the Xixia court gritted its teeth and mobilized a top-notch master who was in charge of the royal city, and led more than half of the warriors in Yipintang to the border.

When Jin Yiwei heard the news, he urgently notified Zeng Yi. Zeng Yi knew very well that the defenders of the border fortress were already in a very extreme state. If these Xixia masters were to attack the border fortress, the defenders would really be unable to defend it. Living.

In such a situation, Zeng Yi couldn't care less about Ren Dejing, and directly led the Bloody Guards and his Central Plains cavalry to the border area of ​​Xixia. Ren Dejing was shocked when he heard the news, and intended to keep Zeng Yi and The cavalry under him, but in this situation, Zeng Yi didn't bother to talk to him at all.

In less than a day, Zeng Yi fell to the border. At this time, the battle between the two sides was so chaotic that no one could see clearly. On the one hand, the main force of the Northwest besieged the Western Xia army, and on the other hand, the Western Xia army and the grassland Persian coalition army besieged. , the frontier fortress occupied by the Northwest Army, and Zeng Yi led 2 horses on the other side, and once again formed a siege on the grassland and the Persian coalition forces.

The two sides fought in the dark, and the eyes of almost all forces were cast on this life-and-death battle.

In the end, Zeng Yi opened up the situation first. Half of the main force of the prairie cavalry was wiped out. After Zeng Yi's wrestling army rushed to the border, he immediately launched an assault on the coalition forces. Although the coalition forces desperately resisted, Zeng Yi personally led the team Despite the attack regardless of casualties, Zeng Yi and others broke through the coalition defense line and killed the largest fortress at the border.

With the support of Zeng Yi's wrestling army, this largest border fortress finally stabilized the situation. However, before Zeng Yi and others could breathe a sigh of relief, another border fortress dozens of miles away was led by a super-class expert from Xixia. It fell under the sneak attack.

It can be said that the Northwest defenders were desperate, but faced with several times the ground attack, the defenders fought until the last soldier, and finally after destroying the artillery, the whole army died in battle.

Xixia finally opened a gap, the coalition forces immediately occupied the fortress, and this Xixia army immediately began to retreat from this gap.

Zeng Yi also thought about taking back this border pass, but the troops he can mobilize are limited. Once the falling army attacks, it is very likely that this largest border fortress will be lost. At that time, the situation will be even more unfavorable to the Northwest Army. Finally, he thought about it for a long time Afterwards, the plan was abandoned.

The army behind Xixia, knowing that the gap has been opened, also wanted to retreat back, but let go of a Xixia army, how could the Northwest army let them go, and the remaining Xixia army, which had failed to break through several times, immediately contacted the army that had withdrawn The Northwest Army at the fort wants them to attack and respond.

However, the request for help came to no avail. At this time, the army of Xixia who stayed behind suddenly discovered that they seemed to have been abandoned!

It is actually very uncomfortable for Xixia to make this decision. It is a small half of the army, but it has to do so. If there are not enough troops left to hold back the main force of the Northwest army, the entire Xixia army will have to be wiped out.

After completely encircling the left-behind army, the Xixia army once again launched a heart-attacking tactic, and was abandoned. The morale blow to this army was very huge. It was so large that there were still 10,000+ troops left, but there was no much intention to resist. Daily There were constant deserters, and Xiao Gu's troops even began to run away and surrender. In the end, under the combination of soft and hard methods of the Northwest Army, the broken Xixia army finally chose to surrender.

The surrender of this army was a major blow to Xixia. Originally, the Xixia people thought that this army could compete with the Northwest army. Even if they could not, as long as they lost part of the strength of the Northwest army, it would be a great help to Xixia. But now, This army surrendered, and the Central Plains troops had almost no losses. This also indicated that the border fortress that was finally recaptured may not be able to hold.

However, the surrender of more than [-] Xixia troops can be regarded as buying some time for Xixia. In order to avoid accidents and guard these surrendered troops, the Northwest Army had to mobilize more than half of its troops to guard them. The fortress, the opportunity to attack Xixia.
