Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

In order to prevent people from drifting away from the Hulu River, or the corpses of the Xixia army going down the river and being discovered by the Xixia army downstream, Ximen Qing had already arranged for Lu Zhishen and Jiang Zhong to send troops to intercept them on the river.

Lu Zhishen and Jiang Zhong sent a team to guard several shoals downstream. They not only intercepted them with nets, but also scooped up corpses with hooks, hooks and sickle guns on the bank to ensure that no corpse could float away from the river.

Wei Mumosi and others dived into the water, and were discovered by the Chu army when they floated to shallow water.

Soldiers on both sides of the strait hooked and netted them all, and captured them all alive.

After Ximen Qing learned about the incident, he also secretly admired Brother Li Cha.

When this guy was in a desperate situation, he was still able to come up with a lot of tricks, which almost ruined his own affairs.

Looking back at this moment, Brother Li Cha led the army to launch a suicide charge, probably in order to attract everyone's attention, and to cover several of his men in the chaos and escape by diving.

This guy is both wise and brave, and he really deserves to be a famous general of the Xixia Kingdom.

Of course, as the enemy of this high official, the dead famous general is the good famous general!

Ximenqing was worried that some fish would slip through the net to report to Li Liangfu, so he decided to set off immediately and lead the main force to go straight to Pingxia City.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Outside Pingxia City, about [-] Xixia Army led by General Li Liangfu's [-] troops as the main force surrounded Pingxia City.

However, Li Liangfu, who received the order from brother Li Cha to attack the city, did not attack the city with all his strength, but just waited for the arrival of reinforcements from the Chu army.

Brother Li Cha only ordered Ren Dejing, the magistrate of Xi'an Prefecture, to lead the Han army to attack Pingxia City every day, but he let his [-] field soldiers recharge their batteries and prepare to attack Chu's reinforcements with King Li Cha of Jin.

At this time, Ren Dejing's attack on Pingxia City was also a bluff, perfunctory, and did not try his best.

The reason for this is that first, Ren Dejing was not good at attacking cities, and second, the soldiers of the Han army under his command were all the former Xi'an Song army who followed him to Xixia, and they didn't have much fighting spirit for attacking Pingxia city. In addition, Ren Dejing knew that his siege was just a feint, so he didn't want to lose his soldiers and generals and went to work with all his might.

The Xixia army did not go all out to attack the city. Although Ma Kuo and Liu Qi in Pingxia City got a respite, it also made them worry.

Ma Kuo and Liu Kai's original plan was to cut off the retreat of Brother Li Cha of the Xixia Army after the surprise attack on Pingxia City, forcing them to withdraw from Weizhou City.

After attracting Brother Li Cha's army to Pingxia City, Ma Kuo and Liu Kai will stick to the city and wait for the Jingyuan Army, Qin Feng Army, Huanqing Army and other troops to surround the city from all directions and surround Brother Li Cha's army.

In this way, not only can the siege of Weizhou City be solved, but it may even severely damage Brother Li Cha's army in Xixia.

In order to implement this plan, after Ma Kuo and Liu Kai captured Pingxia City, they immediately sent letters to various generals to inform the generals of their combat intentions.

But what Ma Kuo and Liu Kai didn't expect was that Xi Gong and Zhao Dian, the military commander of Jingyuan Road, and Zhao Dian, the military commander of Qinfeng Road, used their troops indiscriminately and were defeated by Brother Li Cha's army in Xixia, almost losing Weizhou City.

What was even more unexpected was that Brother Li Cha's army did not attract, but another [-] elite Xixia army was attracted from the Xixia Kingdom.

The current posture of the Xixia army outside the city is clearly using Pingxia City as a bait to annihilate the reinforcements sent by Chu State at leisure.

Although Ximen Qing had asked Qu Duan to send someone to risk his life to send a letter to Ma Kuo and Liu Kai, telling them to stick to it with peace of mind, that his army had arrived in Weizhou and would come to help, but Ma Kuo was still a little worried, fearing that brother Ximen Qing would be careless. , In the ambush of the Xixia army.

Therefore, Ma Kuo stood at the top of Pingxia city and looked south every day, not only looking forward to the appearance of the Ximen Qing army, but also worried that they would fall into the trap of the Xixia army and be surrounded outside the city.

Suddenly, in the direction of Lingpingzhai in the upper reaches of the Hulu River in the south, several knights galloped towards them.

Ma Kuo couldn't help but stare intently.

Looking at the clothes, it should be the Xixia Army stationed in Lingping Village.

Behind several Xixia army knights, there was a burst of smoke and dust, and one after another Chu army cavalry appeared in the sky, chasing those few Xixia army knights running northward.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of horsemen came galloping, and the leading general bent his bow and set an arrow on the horse, and shot the last Xixia army knight off his horse.

After careful identification, Ma Kuo recognized that the leading general of the Chu army was Ximen Qing's nephew, his confidant and beloved general Yue Fei.

If Yue Fei appeared, it must be brother Ximenqing's army who has arrived!

Ma Kuo hurriedly sent troops to inform Liu Qi on the other side of the city.

"Hahaha~ My reinforcements from Chu State are here! This battle must be won!"

On the city wall, the guards and soldiers who saw the cavalry of the Chu army all cheered and jumped with excitement.

This army was brought by Ma Kuo and Liu Kai from Xihe Road, passed all the way, and attacked Pingxia City by surprise.After that, he faced the Xixia army and defended the lonely city alone.

Although the two generals have been encouraging morale, but to say that these soldiers guarding the city have no worries and fears in their hearts, that is deceiving themselves and others.

Seeing the reinforcements sent by the imperial court now, why not boost the morale of the defenders?

Ma Kuo felt somewhat relieved when he saw the group of soldiers around him who had fought hard all the way through thick and thin.

When he left Bianliang City in Tokyo, Ma Kuo came to Shaanxi to make contributions.

Brother Ximenqing not only asked him to recruit Liu Kai, but also asked him to recruit an army by himself.

Now under the leadership of Ma Kuo and Liu Kai, this army has been fighting the Xixia Army for many days, and it seems to have been completely reborn, with a rudimentary form of a strong army.

Take this army and Brother Liu Qi to see Brother Ximenqing, and live up to Brother Ximenqing's trust!

Huh, I almost forgot, brother Ximenqing wanted me to go find the two brothers Wu Jie and Wu Lin again.

I don't know where the two brothers are now?

……

"Chu Jun! Chu Jun is here!"

A few Xixia army knights ran for their lives while shouting wildly at the top of their voices.

At this time, not only Ma Kuo on the top of the city saw the movement in the distance, but the Xixia army outside the city also spotted the Chu army appearing in the south.

Ren Dejing was about to lead the army to attack the city as usual, when he saw the smoke and dust in the south, he hurriedly withdrew his army and retreated to his camp.

At the same time, a group of cavalry rushed out of the camp of Li Liang's auxiliary army, and went forward to meet the escaped Xixia army knights.

Brothers Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Zhang Xian saw the cavalry cavalry of the Xixia Army approaching, but they did not tangle with each other. They resolutely gave up the pursuit, turned around and retreated south.

Seeing that Yue Fei and the others had retreated, those cavalrymen of the Western Xia Army immediately turned around and escorted the escaped knights of the Western Xia Army back to the camp after swearing a few words.

Sitting in the large tent of the Chinese army, Li Liangfu received these Xixia knights who had escaped from death.

Yue Fei was able to give up chasing and killing these people, naturally because they could not provide any useful information to Li Liangfu.

Even this chase scene was intentionally arranged by Ximenqing for the Xixia army outside Pingxia city to watch.

The few knights who fled back to the Xixia army camp were all the Xixia army who were in charge of guarding Lingping village. They told the commander Li Liangfu that Lingping village was attacked by Chu army this morning.

There are 2000 Xixia troops stationed in Lingping Village, but the attacking Chu army has [-] cavalry.

The Xixia army was outnumbered, and the city was quickly breached.
