1117. Rebels annihilated
The battle between more than 40,000 soldiers on both sides was definitely a shocking battle. But the end of this battle was beyond the expectations of all the Lizhou East Army.
With the arrival of the infantry in the Tianxiong and Tianmeng army, less than half an hour later, the Lizhou East Route Army was defeated like a mountain.
Countless Lizhou Eastern Route Army fled in scattered and fled.
Although the main general of the East Road of Nalizhou moved the command center behind the formation, he still failed to survive.
Under the charge of the Iron Cavalry of the Song Dynasty, he could not avoid it and eventually died in the chaos.
The Iron Cavalry of the Song Dynasty took advantage of the victory to pursue the battle. Along the way, the Lizhou East Route Army knelt on the ground and begged for surrender spread for several miles.
There are only a few soldiers who were able to escape in the end.
Until this time, in front of Qu Rujian's military camp, the infantry in his imperial guards and Li Zhengqin's command had not yet completely destroyed the Lintao army.
On the other side, the cavalry under Heliancheng and the cavalry under Qu Rujian, and the Qitian Army were still chasing the retreating Lintao Army, and had left the camp for more than ten miles.
Of course, the Lintao Army had already suffered all casualties by this time.
They retreated in a hurry, and could not escape the pursuit of the Western Xia imperial guards and the Qitian army in the sky.
The general trend is decided.
The imperial guards of the Song Dynasty did not take much effort to defeat the Eastern Route Army of Lizhou. Until the end of the battle, the imperial guards were still alive.
They did not take action to kill these surrendered soldiers.
Some cavalry gathered these surrendered soldiers, and some soldiers began to clean the battlefield.
Everything seems orderly.
This is the old man on the battlefield.
Many times, they know what they should do next without even giving instructions from the general. This seems to be the difference between a girl who has just left the house and a housewife who has been a wife for many years.
Afterwards, Zheng Yihang and Du Hu led the surrendered soldiers to Qu Rujian's military camp.
Until this time, there are still about two hours before dawn.
When they arrived at Qu Rujian's military camp, the battle between Li Zhengqin's army outside the military camp was over, and the battle between Qu Rujian's army and Lintao army was over.
The cavalry that went out to chase after the camp has not yet returned.
Qu Rujian and Li Zhengqin organized soldiers to clean the battlefield.
The Lintao Army who begged for surrender had been killed outside the camp by them. Just like Fengxiang Army, there was no survivor.
Looking at Du Hu, Zheng Yihang and the others led their troops to come, and Qu Rujian showed a look of shock without any surprise.
He knew when the Song Dynasty imperial guards left the camp. He never dared to imagine that the Song Dynasty imperial guards could destroy the Eastern Route Army in such a short time.
Even when he saw the Song Dynasty imperial guards escorting many soldiers from the East Lizhou Road, when Du Hu, Zheng Yihang and others came to the front, Qu Rujian still couldn't help asking: "Captain Du, Commander Zheng, is it possible that you have defeated the East Lizhou Road?"
Among the four defenders of Fengxiang, Lintao, Lizhou West Road and Lizhou East Road, Lizhou East Road, he knew that this was the strongest.
He asked himself, if he was facing the Eastern Lizhou Army, he was afraid that the fight would not end at this time.
Du Hu and Zheng Yihang could have heard the shock in Qu Rujian's words, and a hint of pride appeared on their faces.
The combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty imperial guards is not comparable to that of the current Western Xia imperial guards.
Zheng Yihang said: "The Eastern Army of Lizhou is just Er'er. Under the charge of the iron cavalry under my command of Commander Du, they had no power to fight back. Their chief generals died in the chaos. Except for a few people who fled, countless people died in the army. The rest were taken here by us."
As he said that, he looked at the Lizhou East Route Army who was escorted behind him and said, "General Qu will arrange his soldiers to come and take over these surrendered soldiers!"
He did not ask Qu Rujian how he planned to deal with these surrendered soldiers, because this was completely unrelated to the affairs of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.
Their mission on this trip was just to help the Western Xia imperial guards pacify the troops of Lizhou East Road and other troops. Apart from the war, the two of them did not intend to interfere in the rest of the matter.
Qu Rujian was shocked and nodded repeatedly, "I'm sorry, the two commanders, so I'll arrange for someone to take over the surrendered soldiers. The two commanders will wait for a moment."
He had not actually dealt with Zheng Yihang and Du Hu. He could tell the difference between the two because he had seen their portraits, but at this moment, he was quite respectful in his words.
This was undoubtedly influenced by the strength of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.
Although Qu Rujian was a powerful general in Xixia, he also knew that the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty would definitely be much more powerful. Of course, he admired these Song Dynasty generals in his heart.
Not long after, the imperial guards were ordered to take over the surrendered soldiers.
After Du Hu and Zheng Yihang handed over the surrendered soldiers to the hands of the Western Xia imperial guards, they said their way to Qu Rujian and led the army to the barracks.
Now that the big thing has been done, they have no intention of staying here anymore. Instead of staying here, it is better to take the soldiers to the military camp to rest.
There is also Fengxiang on Lizhou East Road, and the defenders of Lintao Road did not all come here. They want to help Li Xiushu pacify these routes, and they still have something to do.
Furthermore, even if all the defenders left in the territory in Lizhou East Road and other places were disintegrated, the tasks of Zheng Yihang and Du Hu could not be concluded just by saying that they would end.
They also need to kill to Tongchuan Mansion Road.
The previous scout temptation was not just about being a good person.
Zhao Dongting really has the intention to destroy Xinsong, and it can be said that he has reached a consensus with Li Xiushu.
The two countries worked together to destroy the New Song Dynasty.
Otherwise, Zhao Dongting would not have agreed so easily to Li Xiushu to help her destroy the Eastern Route Army in Lizhou.
The benefits are mutual. This is exactly what countries are between.
Zhao Dongting will not mix too much personal affairs between state affairs.
About half an hour later, Heliancheng led the imperial cavalry and the Qitian army back to the barracks. All the soldiers in the army were full of energy and obviously returned with great victory.
The head general of Lintao Road also failed to escape and was killed in the chaos.
After this battle, the defenders who headed to the border on Fengxiang, Lintao and Lizhou East Road were wiped out.
The soldiers from the East Lizhou Road who were captured by the Song Dynasty imperial guards did not survive. In the end, they were all Helian City, and Qu Rujian and the others ordered the killing.
When the morning light shines on the earth, corpses are everywhere on the Jialing River.
There were nearly 70,000 soldiers in Fengxiang, Lintao and Lizhou East Road, with countless casualties.
The only ones they left in the territory were left with the defenders of each city. Those soldiers could not be drawn out.
It was not until this time that the guards of the Lintao Road finally ran to Tongchuan Mansion in panic.
They were stopped outside the city gate.
The head guard general shouted at the top of the city: "We are soldiers from Lintao, Xixia, and I would like to see the new Song general in the city! If you have important news, please pass on it!"
His face was full of anxiety.
All night, he and the dozens of people under him did not rest much. They only took a rest when the war horses couldn't stand it, but the person was always holding on.
He knew that the army would inevitably be in danger of destruction at all times.
Of course, he obviously did not expect that the Lintao Army had already been wiped out now. Otherwise, he would not have made such efforts again.
The entire Lintao Army was wiped out, and his future was worrying. Instead of continuing to inform the new Song army in Tongchuan Prefecture, it would be better to remove the armor and retire.
The new Song army on the front of the city was quite surprised.
They naturally didn't know that the governor of Lintao of Western Xia was actually from the New Song Dynasty. And the Western Xia and New Song Dynasty were not harmonious.
They were just thinking, what did these seemingly miserable Xixia troops suddenly come over to do?
However, the generals at the city still ordered the soldiers to report the letter to the government office in the city.
Seeing or not seeing is the marshal's business.
They just need to block all dozens of Western Xia troops outside the city before the marshal's orders.
A soldier went down to the city and then hurriedly rode towards the Tongchuan Prefecture Office.
The government office, the governor of Tongchuan Prefecture Road in Xinsong and the deputy palace master of Guigu, the governor of the Xinsong General.
The deputy palace master of Guigu looked calm, and the Jiedushi often needed to be considered for a long time. There was no need to worry about the ability of the two of them.
You can tell by just looking at the expressions of the two.
After passing through layers of guards, the soldiers finally arrived in the hall. They immediately knelt down and reported to the deputy palace master of Guigu: "Master, there are dozens of Xixia Lintao troops outside the city who want to see you."
The hand of the deputy palace master Luozi was hanging in the air.
The governor of Tongchuan Prefecture Road also looked at the soldiers.
He looked about fifty years old and had a very elegant atmosphere for scholars. Even if he was not from Guigu Academy, his knowledge would definitely be quite good.
Otherwise, he would not be able to play chess with someone like the Deputy Palace Master of Guigu, even if his chess skills are at an absolute disadvantage.
