Chapter 10
The 25th year of Yuanfeng in the Great Zhou Dynasty, in May,
The troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty were divided into two groups, a total of [-] troops rushed to the west to help.

After the two sides arrived at Yanzhou Road in July, the troops divided into two groups. The British Duke led an army of [-] to the southwest to Shaanxi Road, and the Marquis of Dingyuan led an army of [-] to Hedong Road.

After we parted, we received the news that in July, Li Hao, the king of Xixia, personally led a total of 15 troops with [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, and marched towards Linzhou in a mighty manner. Linzhou was surrounded by many.

Marquis Dingyuan ordered to change the formation and advance. Yuan Wenshao led 6000 cavalry as the vanguard to advance in a surprise attack to break the siege of Linzhou.

Yuan Wenshao led the army through a rapid march, and finally camped temporarily near Linzhou City 10 miles away in the evening of the third day.

The army has marched in a hurry for three days and now they don't have much fighting power. Besides, Linzhou is not clear about the current situation. While sending people to camp to rest, he sent scouts to investigate the situation in Linzhou.

In the evening, scouts from all walks of life came back to report information. The Xixia army was divided into two groups. About [-] people surrounded Linzhou City along the way. The army camped [-] miles north of Linzhou City. The number was no less than [-]. There was a bright yellow tent in the middle. Where is Hao.

Considering the situation in Linzhou, Yuan Wenshao decided to launch a surprise attack on Xixia King Li Hao tonight to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao.

Linzhou, arid in the northwest, is a city without water sources. Linzhou has been besieged for a long time, and I'm afraid it won't last long, and I just led the army to arrive. Xixia knows differently, and now the surprise attack can have the effect of a surprise attack.

Let the soldiers take the time to rest, and wrap the hooves of all the horses with cotton cloth, put the horses' mouths on the net, and prepare for the third shift to cook and the fourth shift to launch a night attack.

At four o'clock on July 21, [-]th Yuanfeng,
Zhongyong Bo Yuan Wenshao led a vanguard of 6000 cavalry to attack the Xixia army under the city of Linzhou at night. The Xixia army resisted a little on the outside, but under Yuan Wenshao's leadership, they quickly broke through the outer defense line. The Xixia army was asleep inside and was killed by surprise.

However, near Xingyuan, the king of Xixia Li Hao, he encountered tenacious resistance from the elite iron kites of Xixia heavy cavalry.

The iron harrier is the most elite heavy armored cavalry in Xixia. There are only 3000 men and horses are all armored.

Fortunately, it was a night attack, and the Xixia army didn't know the situation. The iron kite protected Li Hao and fought and left. Seeing that there was nothing to do, Yuan Wenshao stopped pestering Li Hao and started to kill ordinary Xixia soldiers.

Yuan Wenshao led his troops to rush back and forth twice. The Xixia soldiers were completely in turmoil. Some of them had already started to flee, but some elites began to organize counterattacks. Yuan Wenshao's main target was these elite counterattacks. Wherever there was a counterattack, he would lead his own soldiers to charge. .

No matter how powerful the Xixia warriors were, they were no match for Yuan Wenshao. There were no Xixia soldiers to resist, and they all fled.

Fighting until dawn, Xixia had retreated more than 100 miles, and Yuan Wenshao did not send troops to pursue him. His troops were too small, so he sent people to clean up the battlefield. The undead enemy troops were killed directly, and the scattered horses were gathered. There were 15000 Xixia soldiers, and countless luggage and 10000 war horses were seized.

Yuan Wenshao's Jingying cavalry also killed more than 500 people and injured more than 500 people, and 2000 people were slightly injured. They were temporarily unable to fight again.
The Xixia defenders who surrounded Linzhou saw that the army was attacked, and were afraid of being flanked by front and back, so they had to retreat temporarily, and the siege of Linzhou was temporarily relieved.

After discussing with General Yang Wenzhao, the defender of Linzhou, Yuan Wenshao decided to go to Hengyang Village to take a rest temporarily, and he and Linzhou became horns.

In the next few days, Xixia regrouped and attacked Linzhou again after the defeat. Yuan Wenshao sent troops to harass Liangdao and a small group of Xixia soldiers to relieve the pressure on Linzhou.

Several attacks were fruitless and tens of thousands of people were killed or injured. Li Hao decided to give up his plan to capture Linzhou for the time being and choose Fuzhou as his next target.

The city of Fuzhou is built on the mountain, solid and steep, there is a big river outside the city, there is no shortage of water, there are 6100 defenders, including the elite Zhejia army, which is a tough bone.

Li Hao led the army to attack hard. Under the fortified city, Xia's army suffered many casualties. Under the leadership of the chief general Zhe Haomin, a surprise attack broke the Xia army's formation to pieces.When the Xia army retreated, a large-scale stampede occurred, and the horses and men trampled on each other, causing countless deaths and injuries.Attacks on Linzhou and Fuzhou failed one after another.

Only Fengzhou remained in the Hedong area, and Fengzhou was the weakest defense among the three continents. But at this time, Marquis Dingyuan had already led reinforcements to arrive. Li Hao saw that Fengzhou had no choice but to give up his idea of ​​quickly attacking the Hedong area.

At this time, the Xixia army still had more than 12 people, with an absolute numerical advantage. After giving up the idea of ​​a quick battle, Xixia also began to build fortifications on the periphery, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

Based on the captured war horses, Yuan Wenshao recruited [-] cavalrymen, all of whom were naturalized Fan people in Hedong. They became cavalrymen when mounted on horses, and they worshiped the strong.

In the next few months, the two sides came and went, and the Zhou army was basically on time. However, Yuan Wenshao's cavalry was a mobile force with strong flexibility. He implemented the sixteen-character policy of guerrilla warfare, "When the enemy advances, we retreat; I fight, the enemy retreats and I chase."

Moved to the land of the three states, went back and forth, and killed more than [-] people in the Xia army, making the Xixia army tired of coping. (In fact, in history, East Road was a place with high mountains, deep valleys, and vertical and horizontal valleys. The dangerous terrain was not conducive to cavalry, but this is a novel, please don’t take it seriously)
