The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 228: Forces Lingzhou

The two had fought for twenty or thirty rounds. Xiao Heda already knew that although the man in front of him was a woman, he had skillful sword skills and excellent horse control skills, but his martial arts skills were not inferior to those of a man. At this time, he was just like Zhao Qi.

It is not easy to defeat her because she has become a sick cat. (.)

At this time, Xiao Heda was shocked when he heard the news that the Tiemen Pass had been lost. When the Tiemen Pass was lost, the convenience was a vast plain with no danger to defend. With the power of the Song army, the power of the Song army would be difficult to resist, even if it could be achieved with the profoundness of the people.

The city walls were saved by Lingzhou, and the price paid was also amazing. Just when he was in a daze, Zhe Meiluan seized the opportunity to run forward. The moment the two horses kicked the wrong way, he slashed his head towards him. Xiao

Heda was too late to dodge, so he could only put his hands together and raise his sword to fight hard.

Zhe Meiluan was standing behind the prince as a guard, but she watched him fall into Xiao Heda's plot to fall off the horse. This was the first time Zhao Qi saw this stirrup crossbow, but she knew very well that she was not big and her power.

It's not small. The bowstring is stirred together with two beef tendons, and the arrows and crossbows are made of iron in their entirety. The structure is extremely delicate. Although the range is limited, it can penetrate heavy armor within fifty steps, and is specially used to plot against opponents on the battlefield.

What's more, some people will feed the arrows with poison, and all those who are injured will die...

Seeing the prince falling off his horse by an arrow, Zhe Meiluan's heart seemed to have been picked up suddenly. Only then did she realize that in her heart, the one who once sacrificed her life to save her in the alley, the Golden Palace was released and the Zhe family rescued the siege.

The "naughty boy" who pestered himself to teach bows and arrows and later ignored him for Fengzhou with the Zhe family. His position in his heart is irreplaceable, so Hanheng used all his killer moves, and he was determined to do his own thing.

'Sweetheart' takes revenge, how can you let go of the opportunity now when you get it?

With a crisp sound, three swords collided together, Zhe Meiluan was bound to win this time, and she devoted all her strength. Although Xiao Heda was brave, he had already reached the opportunity to run out of lights and oil. Although he blocked it

This knife also exhausted all his strength and was shocked to crack the tiger's mouth. He vomited blood and leaned on the horse's back and hugged his saddle. If he hadn't tied himself to the horse, he would have fallen off the horse.

"Don't go!" Zhe Meiluan was right and refused to forgive others. But the two horses crossed and lost the opportunity to finish the attack. Zhe Meiluan squeezed the horse's belly with both legs, and sheathed her swords, and her hands were rein.

The war horse man stood up. At this time, she had already taken off the carved bow, put on the carved feather arrow, twisted her body and shot back. These movements were like flowing water, and they were all done in one go. Everyone shouted, just in a few moments.

It is inferior to themselves. Perhaps only high pets who have been accustomed to ejaculation since childhood can do it.

The arrow was like a meteor rushing towards the moon in Xiao Heda's back heart, without the arrow feathers. The arrow actually shot through Xiao Heda's two layers of armor, which showed the strength. Zhe Meiluan had already returned to the horse, drew the knife in her hand, and hit the attack.

The horse caught up with Xiao Heda and beheaded with one sword. The poor generals fell into a different place and died in another country! At this moment, the battlefield was calm, and the generals brought by Zhe Meiluan were also elite. Think about them

Wushuo family, a century of war, how could he not have any men who can fight in a habit? Zhao Qiong's guard camp is also full of warriors selected from one in a hundred, with extraordinary combat power. This number of defeated soldiers had long been dealt with.

.

Zhe Meiluan returned to the formation by horse, and saw the prince smiling at her in the crowd. She was stunned for a moment, and flew off the horse and rushed into his arms, "Prince, I thought you..." Her tears were pouring down.

It flowed down and murmured.

"Haha, you think I'm dead, so you killed him and avenge me, but I was not dead at this time, but Xiao Heda died. Isn't it a bit unfair to die?" Zhao Qi hugged her in his arms, gently

He patted her back and said.

"Prince, don't make fun of me. I really thought you were shot in the arrow at that time. Am I stupid?" Zhe Meiluan heard everyone's laughter and quickly broke free from the prince's arms and hid in it.

Next to Zhao Xin, he blushed and lowered his head.

"Haha, it's stupid enough..." Zhao Qiong said with a laugh at Zhe Meiluan's silly look, but the laughter was really happy. This girl seemed to fall in love with her wholeheartedly.

Looking at Zhao Xin beside him, he was a little discouraged. When will this girl confess to her?

.........

After receiving the news that General Leopard captured the city gate, Zhao Ren, who replaced the prince's command, immediately dispatched troops to the Tiemen Pass. The two main generals of Tiemen Pass fled one by one, and the army was unstable.

He immediately seized the opportunity and ordered the entire army to launch a fierce attack. Under the full attack of the Zhongyong Army, the Xia army who stayed in the city quickly lost its support and broke out of the city, following Wei Ming's footsteps and fled towards Lingzhou!

Zhao Qi did not take a routine rest this time, but ordered the entire army to attack and chase the defeated army. After passing Tiemen Pass, crossing Qingling, he entered the Hetao Plain. There was no dangerous pass here, only 200 from Lingzhou City.

The Hedong Army traveled day and night, chasing at the speed of a marching force. The defeated army in Tiemen Pass could no longer organize effective defense. Under the pursuit of the Hedong Army day and night, they could not get a moment of peace and were cut off by a detour.

The back road was left with corpses and weapons on the road leading to Lingzhou, and all the soldiers, weapons and equipment were lost.

On the third day of August, after two days of chasing, the Hedong Army finally arrived at the city of Lingzhou. Weiming Anhui, who had arrived before, learned the lessons of Tiemen Pass this time and kept the defeated soldiers of the Xixia who followed him, and kept the door open to the

The Song army took the opportunity to attack the city again. Thousands of defeated soldiers cried under the city, their mourning sounds shook the sky, begged hard, but they were unable to enter the city. They were wiped out by the Hedong army and the whole city was solemn...

Lingzhou was built in the Han Dynasty and was called Bogulu Town in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and later changed to Lingzhou; the Western Wei Dynasty changed to Lingzhou Pule County; the Northern Zhou Dynasty changed to Lingzhou and Lingwu County; the Sui Dynasty changed to Lingwu County and stationed in Hui

Le County was re-established Lingzhou, and Shuofang Jiedushi was stationed here. Tianbao was initially changed to Lingwu County, and later it was later changed to Lingzhou.

Lingzhou is located on the west side of Xiazhou, leaning against Helan Mountain and leading the Yellow River. It is a famous city in the northwest border of the Tang and Song dynasties. To the west of Lingzhou, it is an important road leading to the Western Regions in ancient China—

The Hexi Corridor and the southwest of Lingzhou are the areas where the Tubo tribes are distributed. Therefore, Lingzhou has become the focus of the struggle for the forces of various ethnic groups in the Han, Uighur, Tubo and Dangxiang.

In the early Song Dynasty, Li Jiqian rebelled against Song and led 50,000 elite troops to conquer Lingzhou in one fell swoop. Because Jiqian was named King of Xiping by the Liao Kingdom in the north, he changed Lingzhou to Xiping Prefecture. He liked the mountains and rivers of Lingzhou very much and believed that "Xiping Beiguan" was the first to be controlled by Xiping.

He, Shuo, Nangui Qing and Liang, occupy the upper reaches of the roads and cross the key points of the western border. If you repair the city and dredge the moat, train troops and accumulate grain, once you go out, there is no way to know what to prepare in Guanzhong."

Because the original base of Xixia, the Xia area, and the southeast were the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the northeast was a powerful Liao Kingdom, which was easily threatened and was not conducive to expansion outward. The Lingzhou area was rich in water and grass, and the land was surrounded by grains, and it was military strength.

The relatively weak range of activities of ethnic groups such as Uighurs, Tubo and other ethnic groups is convenient for opening up territories to the northwest.

Another Lingzhou area is located on the upper reaches of the road, and it is bounded by the key points of the western frontier. Its geographical location is much better than that of the Yin and Xia areas. Lingzhou was the key transportation force in the northwest region at that time, and it had a well-connected road network. After the late Tang Dynasty, the Silk Road was

, mainly traveling to the Western Regions through Lingzhou. In addition, Lingzhou has developed agriculture and animal husbandry, fertile land, and abundant resources. It is commonly known as "the Yangtze River on the Boat". It has benefited from the irrigation of the Yellow River, and has a conservative economic environment for drought and flood.

Therefore, Lingzhou has both natural, economic and military conditions for building a capital. Li Jiqian moved from Xiazhou to Lingzhou the second year, where he built a city and dug trenches, trained troops and accumulated grain, built a large-scale construction, and built a palace and aristocratic temple until his son Li Deming later re-established.

After eighteen years of moving the capital to Xingzhou, the two generations of Xixia ruled hard in Lingzhou. From the perspective of historical facts, it is the capital of the local government of Xixia in the true sense.

Zhao Xiao did not rush to attack the city when he arrived in Lingzhou, but instead left the city and strengthened the camps, surrounded Lingzhou without attacking it. Then he sent troops to occupy the surrounding villages and towns, seized food and grass, and made a protracted war.

Look. His actions caused differences between the monarchs and ministers of Xixia in the offense and defense of Xiazhou...

One side believes that the Song army sieges Lingzhou but does not attack because of the lack of successors, but because they want to siege the city and attack aid, and wait for their labor to annihilate the last main force of the Xingqing Prefecture. Don’t just see the Lingzhou crisis, but also the Xingqing Prefecture, the capital.

That is their ultimate goal. Xingqing Prefecture City is high and deep, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Only by first consuming the living forces of Xingqing Prefecture can we successfully conquer the capital. Because the Song army knew that if they immediately captured Lingzhou

, we will concentrate our troops in Xingqing Prefecture and rely on the city to resist guarding. Xingqing Prefecture has the advantage of perseverance, and with this large army, even if the Song army is fierce, it is difficult to conquer.

On the contrary, Lingzhou is a barrier to Zhongxing Prefecture. If they siege Lingzhou without attacking, we cannot risk losing Lingzhou, but will inevitably send troops to reinforce Lingzhou. At that time, reinforcements from Xingqing Prefecture came from a long distance.

The Song army had already accumulated energy and could wait for it to be hard to wipe it out in one fell swoop. If the defenders of Lingzhou City saw the reinforcements defeated, they knew that there were no reinforcements to rely on, so they could only open the city gate to surrender. At that time, Song

The army annihilated our last main force, and Lingzhou was lost again. Xingqing Prefecture was unable to defend and could only wait for death. Wouldn't it be a trick of the Song army to kill two birds with one stone?

The other side believed that the Song army surrounded but did not attack because they had a long expedition, and they were exhausted and had insufficient food and grass. One was to wait for the rear to transport food and grass, and the other was to lack of troops. The Shaanxi army then launched an attack after conquering Lingzhou Sichuan troops.

. Therefore, we should first use small groups of troops to harass the Song army in turn, cut off its food route, and the main force of the army defends the city. At the same time, we mobilize the elite troops of Xingqing Prefecture to help Lingzhou. Taking advantage of the lack of troops in the Song army, the Hedong Army should annihilate or defeat them first.

Then, the Shaanxi army attacking Lingzhouchuan would inevitably retreat when they saw that they could not join forces. The siege of Lingzhou was then lifted, and the land in Henan could be recovered, and the danger of destroying the country could be solved.

Just as the monarchs and ministers of Xixia were constantly arguing about the pros and cons of increasing troops, Lingzhou also heard that the Song army Hedong army suddenly divided troops to control the Yellow River Ferry leading to Lingzhou, and at the same time sent troops to attack Yaode City on the river in Lingzhou... It is not yet ready
