Shuozhou, Pianguan...

The Guancen Mountain is connected to the east of the Guanguan, the Yellow River is connected to the west, the Grassland is connected to the south, and the Yanmen and Ningwu are bound to the south. Since ancient times, it has been a place that military strategists must fight for. Because it lies upwards and lies in the east, it looks like a person's head, so it is also called Bitotou Pass. The locals call it Bitotou Village.

When Li Gang arrived at Bitouzhai, the Dangxiang people had already launched an attack, and Zhang Guanyu and Liu Yizhen commanded the Wu Yongjun to fight back.

The terrain of Biedou Village is dangerous, with the back of Biedou River, and the mountains on both sides of the village are stacked with mountains. The hills in front of the village are undulating and ravines are crisscrossing, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. On the mountains on the east and west sides of the village, Zhang Guanyu deployed dozens of squads of brave soldiers, attacking day and night, making it difficult to defend Dangxiang people difficult to defend. However, more and more Dangxiang people, and troops crossed the Yellow River for several miles, and transported heavy siege equipment, which made the defense of the pass even more tight.

The Xixia people fought with the Song army for decades, and the two sides built hundreds of mausoleums on the border. Most of the time, the troops of both sides either attacked or defended the villages. Therefore, the Xixia people had a very rich experience in attacking the villages, and various tricks took turns to fight, and they emerged one after another, making the Wushang Army in a mess.

The Wu Yong Army had been a bandit for several years and had a lot of experience in hiking valleys, but when it comes to guarding the village, their ability was far from that. When they were fighting, these former bandits could still use the surrounding mountains, forests and canyons to launch sneak attacks, and occasionally rob the Xia army's food route. However, as the Xia army's troops arrived and the barriers were tight, they lost all their advantages and had to withdraw back to the village and defend them at all.

The guarding of the village is not simply lying inside the village wall to shoot arrows, but has complex defensive formations. The deployment of troops and defense facilities should be reasonably matched, and the terrain advantages should be used to suppress the enemy. At the same time, it is necessary to effectively kill the enemy, preserve your strength to the greatest extent and drag the enemy to death.

Most generals of the Wu Yong Army did not understand these defensive formations. Although most of the soldiers who were captured by the Liao army were border troops on Xijing Road, their military equipment was abandoned because they had not fought with the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years and were also a bunch of waste.

Li Gang's appearance helped Wu Yongjun a great benefit.

Li Gang never went to the battlefield during the Song Dynasty, but the scholars of the Song Dynasty emphasized the dual cultivation of civil and military affairs. Once they entered the official career, they could go to the border to kill the enemy and serve the country. When they went out, they would be generals and ministers. Therefore, he was well-read and well-known in the formation. After arriving in western Liaoning, he participated in the Pingzhou Battle and later participated in some small-scale battles on the front line of Daling River, including several battles to siege and defend the city, which gave him the opportunity to apply the earth and earth in the books to actual combat.

The Daxia army attacked, and the Wu Yong army was in a hurry and the losses were getting bigger and bigger. Zhang Guanyu and Liu Yizhen were helpless. The two had no choice but to fight in person. They tried to use this to boost morale and defend the village with courage and blood.

Li Gang couldn't help it. He offered defensive strategies to the two of them. He asked them to adjust their troops immediately. He used the city-defense equipment correctly and built more defense facilities overnight...

Zhang Guanyu and Liu Yizhen were disdainful at first. They were too lazy to listen. But for the sake of face, they could barely listen to a few words. Li Gang was the chief officer of the General Office and participated in the military affairs. The general favored him. Once he was sent to the Daling River front line to assist Dong Zhongsun. Later, the general commander went west to the west. Luo Qinghan also relied on him. Such a person had a good future and could not afford to offend him.

After listening to a few words, he realized his reputation and did not dare to underestimate him. He immediately asked for advice honestly. Li Gang showed his knowledge and did his best to use the dangerous terrain of the Bietou Village, the existing troops and various facilities in the village to build a solid defensive formation.

Zhang Guanyu and Liu Yizhen immediately implemented the plan. Overnight, the defense ability of the Beating Village increased several times. After a fierce battle during the day and earth, the losses decreased sharply, but the lethality increased greatly. The defense was even more solid. Zhang Guanyu and a group of brave generals admired Li Gang.

At this time, the deputy commander of Yunshuo Army and local government Zuo You came with 5,000 reinforcements. The defense force of the Beetou Village increased to six generals. Li Gang believed that as long as the food and grass weapons could be replenished in time, the Beetou Village could hold on for at least one month. But the premise is that the Dangxiang People and Local troops cannot exceed 100,000. If this force is exceeded, the Beetou Village will be very dangerous.

On the fifth day of fierce battle, Bitouzhai ushered in the most difficult day since the war began. Dangxiang people made efforts.

After five days of attack, the Dangxiang people roughly understood the defensive formation of the Behemoth Village. They found that there were several obvious loopholes in the defensive formation, so they launched fierce attacks on these defensive weaknesses. However, they immediately found that their judgment was wrong. These defensive weaknesses were traps, and the Han people deliberately set up traps. What caught them off guard was that the Han people's troops far exceeded their expectations.

After a fight, the Dangxiang people paid more than 2,000 people and returned in vain.

At dusk, the Han army in the Biet Village cheered and they fought fiercely for a day and finally repelled the fierce Dangxiang people.

"If the Dangxiang people stop attacking tomorrow, I will ask the Dao Shuai to shoot the Xia Jun. I will meet their commander." Li Gang took off his pussy and wiped the blood on the pussy with his sleeve, saying with a smile.

Zhang Guanyu was stunned for a moment. He suspected that he had heard it wrong and hurriedly pulled the puppet off, "What did you say?"

"I am ordered by the General General to arrive at the Pianguan Pass. I am not helping you guard the pass, but to discuss peace with Xixia." Li Gang held his puppet, looked at the Dangxiang people slowly disappeared from a distance, and said slowly, "I should have told you earlier, but I was worried that it would affect the morale of the army, so I concealed it."

Although the cheers around him were deafening, Zhang Guanyu still heard it clearly. He looked at Li Gang in surprise and asked anxiously: "Why is this? Why do you want to discuss peace with the Dangxiang people? The General General wrote to him, "Are you going to join forces with Liao to fight against Jin?"

Li Gang briefly explained Li Hu's idea of ​​the situation of the Daibei War, "The General General believes that the Khitans have finished, and the best ending is to retreat to the desert. The Dangxiang people, Jurchens and Han people will compete for Daibei in the future, but the Jurchens' rise is too fast and their strength is too strong. The Dangxiang people and Han people must join forces to resist."

"Since we are going to discuss peace with Dangxiang people, why do we still have to fight?" Zhang Guanyu pointed to the corpses inside and outside the village and asked coldly.

"The Dangxiang people came too quickly. They used tens of thousands of troops and made full preparations to attack the village. It can be seen that they had already planned and decided to attack Shuozhou. At this time, they would never agree to peace talks." Li Gang said, "If you want to negotiate peace talks, you can only hurt them and let them know that the hope of victory in this trip is slim. Only in this way will they consider peace talks."

"You set a bunch of traps for this purpose?"

Li Gang nodded, "Soldier Dao, the situation in Datong is extremely critical. Whether you can negotiate peace with the people of Xixia is directly related to the safety of Datong, so I want to meet the head coach of the Dangxiang people as soon as possible."

Zhang Guanyu hesitated and said nothing. The Dangxiang people were fierce. The two armies fought fiercely these days. The Dangxiang people suffered great losses and would be furious. If they were unwilling to negotiate peace and kill Li Gang, how could he explain to Li Hu? Li Hu and Li Gang are the same surname, and Li Gang came very mysteriously. Li Hu trusted him very much. There were rumors in the rebel army that the two were relatives. If they were really relatives and Li Gang died here, the trouble would be great.

Under Li Gang's firm request, Zhang Guanyu shot the Xia army and the Xia army agreed to meet. Li Gang asked a single cavalry to rush to the Xia army. The three commanders Zhang Guanyu, Liu Yizhen and Zuo You firmly disagreed and sent fifty cavalry to protect each other no matter what.

"I went alone, which means we have the strength and are not afraid of Dangxiang people." Li Gang politely declined. "It is unpredictable whether the meeting will be successful, because the current situation in the North is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the people of Xixia. They may not agree without knowing the strength of the Jurchens. If the peace agreement fails, I may be imprisoned or killed. So, you give me fifty people, just to let them die."

When Zhang Guanyu thought, indeed, if Li Gang went alone, as long as he was careful to deal with it, his life would be guaranteed. If he brought fifty more people, the danger would be even greater.

On the morning of the third day, Li Gang rode alone and ran out of seclusion.

In the village, Zhang Guanyu, Wu Yongjun, and Yunshuo soldiers watched Li Gang leave and admired him very much.

In the tent of the Western Xia army, Li Gang met the commander-in-chief of the Xia army, Li Yancheng.

Li Gang explained his purpose and informed the situation in Daibei in detail. When he talked about the Jin army's strength, he made some exaggerations. He may not have expected that the Jin army's strength had more than his exaggerated numbers.

Li Yancheng was about thirty years old, tall and strong, and handsome. He was a royal family and went to the battlefield at the age of thirteen and was knowledgeable. Li Gang's words made him realize that the situation in Daibei was changing rapidly. The Daxia army gathered the main force to attack Yunshuo, which might have helped the Jurchens, and the Dangxiang people were very likely to have a waste of time.

"I can't make the decision on this matter." Li Yancheng said after careful consideration, "My army commander is King Jin. He is in the commander camp by the Yellow River. Please go and talk to our King Jin."

Li Gang was secretly surprised. The King of Jin in the Great Xia was Weiming Cha Ge, and he could also be called Li Cha Ge. He was the gangster of the Great Xia Emperor Li Qianshun and the commander of the Western Xia army. He defeated the Northwest General Liu Fa three years ago. This time, the Western Xia army was actually led by him, which shows the determination of the Dangxiang people to attack Yun Shuo.

Li Hu made a wrong judgment. He probably never dreamed that the Dangxiang people were bound to win Yun Shuo. The Jurchens were powerful, but the Dangxiang people didn't know that in the eyes of the Dangxiang people, no matter how powerful the Jurchens were, they would not be better than the Song people. Cha Ge could defeat the Song people, cut off the heads of Liu Fa, a famous general in the northwest of the Song Dynasty, and wipe out the 100,000 troops of the Song Dynasty. Is he still afraid of the Jurchens?

Li Gang immediately lost his confidence. He had a premonition that this peace talks might have failed, and Li Hu's hope of defending Datong and defending Jiuzhou behind the mountain was getting smaller and smaller.
