At the first update, Li Zhizong was already asleep, but a moment of force pushed him to wake him up from his sleep. "What's the matter?" he asked vaguely.

"The master is in charge, and the big things are not good. The Seifeng tribe, Yeli tribe and Mi Qin tribe have withdrawn from the army."

Li Zhizong had not yet fully awakened. He was like a short-circuiting mind and had no reaction for a long time.

The personal soldiers said anxiously again: "Xifeng Army, Yeli Army and Mi Qin Army have left the camp and withdrawn to the west!"

"ah!"

Li Zhizong finally reacted. He shouted, jumped up from the head of the bed, and shouted: "When did this happen?"

"Just just now, the military camp is in chaos now!"

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from outside, and soldiers rushed in to report: "Several tribal leaders are outside, and they want to see Du Shuai!"

Li Zhizong was panicked and anxious, and he ran out without even having time to put on his shoes. He saw several other tribe leaders gathering outside the tent in anger. When they saw Li Zhizong coming out, they immediately rushed up.

"Du Shuai, what's going on? Why did the Xifeng Army retreat? Is the court lying to us? No one is going to save our tribe."

Li Zhizong secretly complained that he had to stabilize these leaders. Xifeng's troops led Yeli's troops and Miqin's troops to retreat. Fifty thousand people left at once, and the remaining 50,000 people could not be dispersed. Even if he cheated, he would still deceive them.

He quickly shouted: "Please listen to me. Things are not what everyone thinks. Please be quiet!"

As everyone gradually calmed down, Li Zhizong said loudly: "Iron Yaozi went to Helan Mountain to deal with the Song army, but the capital could not be without defenders. So before the Tuoba army arrived in the capital, let the Xifeng army, Yeli army and Mi Qin army go to the capital to garrison first. They were transferred back to Xingqing Prefecture."

This reason makes some sense, one leader asked, "Then why didn't you say this afternoon?"

"It was only tonight that the emperor received the emperor's secret order, but the three of them went north first. Because they were afraid of leaving and alarming the Song army, they went north secretly and did not tell everyone."

"But 50,000 of us are not opponents of the Song army. What should we do if Xifeng troops leave?"

Everyone almost believed Li Zhizong's words, and Xiaofengbiao left without leaving a word, and everyone was very confused.

Li Zhizong hit the railway while it was hot: "Everyone goes back to clean up the tent first, and after dawn we retreat into Jingzhou and defend the city with Jingzhou."

Everyone went back one after another, and the camp gradually became quiet again. The sleepy soldiers fell asleep again, leaving only some senior generals with trepidation and difficulty falling asleep.

Time gradually came to the fourth hour again, and a group of more than 10,000 Song cavalry began to quickly approach the Xixia camp. They were extremely fast. Almost as soon as the alarm on the periphery of the Xixia army was issued, the Song cavalry had already arrived. The overwhelming rockets shot towards the Xixia camp, and the thunderbolters kept throwing the sky-shaking thunder into the Xixia camp.

The fire spread rapidly and exploded everywhere. The alarmed Xixia soldiers were frightened and fleeing everywhere. Groups of frightened war horses ran out. Another Song army with more than 20,000 people came from the north. They were arrows like rain and ruthlessly shot and killed Xixia soldiers who had just escaped from the camp.

Li Zhizong's camp was also attacked by rockets, and his camp was surrounded by spears. Although this defense effectively blocked the enemy's entry, it also hindered the escape of Xixia soldiers. The camp was already blazing and the fire was rapid. The soldiers had no time to dismantle the tents and avoid the spread of the fire, so they had to give up the tent and run out of the camp.

But the dense spears hindered the soldiers' escape, and many soldiers fell on the spear and were pierced by the spears.

The only way out was particularly congested. Thousands of soldiers rushed to flee. Many soldiers were pushed down and trampled. They cried helplessly, and eventually they were suffocated or trampled to death.

At this moment, a dense array of arrows shot towards him, and the soldiers screamed and fell down. Opposite them, a three thousand Song army infantry appeared. They shot with bows and arrows, and the killing effect was also powerful.

Li Zhizong was carried out by ten personal soldiers and escaped from the camp, but encountered a team of 100 Song army cavalry. The 20,000 cavalry had all dispersed, and a team of 100 people were ruthlessly killing the soldiers who were fleeing in all directions.

The cavalry general found that Li Zhizong was wearing a golden helmet on his head. He was overjoyed and turned around and shouted, "Brothers, the big deal is coming!"

They rushed up with a roar, and the spear pierced Li Zhizong's personal soldiers. Li Zhizong turned around and fled, but after less than a dozen steps, he felt a chill of his vest and a spear tip appeared on his chest. Li Zhizong screamed and threw himself to the ground. He realized that it had not disappeared, and felt a sharp pain in his neck and knew nothing.

He raised Li Zhizong's head high for the first general and ran away and shouted: "The enemy's chief general is dead! The enemy's chief general is dead!"

At this time, ten thousand Song cavalry on the periphery continued to encircle and suppress the fleeing Xixia soldiers, and the Xixia camp had been completely engulfed by the fire.

Jingzhou is about seventy miles away from the Yellow River. When it was just dawn, the 50,000 Dangxiang cavalry led by the Xifeng Army finally arrived at the edge of the Yellow River.

Since the court did not have sincerity to rescue them by the Song army, they could only rely on themselves. Today, when the conflicts between the various ethnic groups in the Dangxiang period and the court are becoming increasingly intensified, they cannot expect them to give up their tribal interests for the interests of the Western Xia, let alone rescue their parents, wives and children.

The 50,000 army ran west quickly, and their efforts were not in vain after a night of running. They rushed to the bank of the Yellow River. After crossing the Yellow River, they could reach the foot of Henan Mountain.

Crossing the Yellow River is a common occurrence for the Western Xia army. They have long solved this marching problem. Each Western Xia soldier brings thirty sheepskin airbags, which usually deflates and folds them in a leatherbag, and places them behind the saddle. When they need to be used, they will immediately blow up. These airbags will form a small sheepskin raft, which can just cross one person and one horse.

The Yellow River near Xingqing Prefecture is wide and the water flows very smoothly. It is easier to cross the river. As long as people sit on the sheepskin raft and don’t move, the river will naturally send him to the other side after half an hour. Therefore, every household has their own sheepskin raft, which is equivalent to a necessary means of transportation.

Soon, the water was covered with dense river crossing soldiers. Nearly half of the soldiers had already gone to the water to cross the river. Half an hour later, some of the Western Xia soldiers began to get ashore.

At this moment, a large number of warships suddenly appeared on the river surface, hundreds of them. The Jingzhao Army's naval army finally came, headed by a thousand stone warship. Zhang Shun stood at the bow of the ship, holding a big gun in his hand. He pointed to countless rafts in the Yellow River not far away and ordered: "Crash them over and shoot the enemy!"

In just a moment, the Thousand Stone Warship rushed into the enemy's raft group first. The powerful inertia knocked over more than twenty rafts in a row. The war horses and soldiers on the raft fell into the water one after another. Then the soldiers on the boat began to shoot arrows and shoot the soldiers falling into the water.

As more and more warships rushed into the group of rafts, a terrifying scene appeared on the surface of the Yellow River, just like a wolf pack breaking into the sheep pen. The Song army warships hit the rafts without any scruples. The balance ability of the rafts was very poor. When they collided with a slight collision, they would fall into the water. The Song army soldiers on the boat either shot or stabbed the soldiers falling into the water with spears.

This is a typical half-crossing strategy. The Song army had already laid a net of heaven and earth. When the Xixia army crossed the river halfway, it launched an attack, which would allow the Song army to annihilate the enemy at the lowest cost.

At this time, the sound of war drums on both sides of the Taiwan Straits sounded at the same time, and 20,000 Song cavalrymen came out on both sides of the east and west sides, and went to the river bank to cross the river and to kill Xixia soldiers who had just arrived.

The soldiers in Xixia were in chaos, and Xifengbei had already crossed the Yellow River. There were only more than 10,000 soldiers crossing the Yellow River. He shouted in a hurry: "Get on the horse immediately!"

Before the soldiers were ready, 20,000 Song cavalry came overwhelmed by Cao Meng. The Western Xia cavalry rushed to fight and was instantly chaotic.

The cavalry on the east coast lost command. In panic, they thought of not fighting, but running on horseback. More than 20,000 soldiers on the east coast ran wildly. The Song cavalry behind them chased after them for more than 30 miles and killed more than half of the enemy. Only then did the Song cavalry stop chasing and turn back.

At this time, more than 10,000 cavalry on the west bank had been defeated, and the Song cavalry was also chasing the fleeing enemy troops. The enemy's chief general Xi Fengbe also died in the chaos.

In this half-cross interception battle, 40,000 Song cavalry wiped out nearly 40,000 enemy troops in one fell swoop. Although nearly 10,000 enemy soldiers still escaped, it could not change the outcome of more than 100,000 Dangxiang coalition forces being completely defeated.
