Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"The King of Liang previously led 90,000 troops,"

"They successively defeated the armies of the Prince of Jin and the late emperor."

"Now 50,000 troops are attacking,"

"Who has the confidence to lead troops to stop them?"

The generals exchanged glances.

They all shook their heads and remained silent.

Chage was the God of War of Western Xia.

Li Qianshun's forces were composed of elite troops.

Both of them lost.

They lacked Chage's strategic acumen.

His forces consisted mostly of remnants of defeated soldiers who had retreated from Shaanxi.

No one dares to say that they can turn the rotten into the miraculous.

The garrison commander of Dingzhou asked, "Where has the Prince of Pu's 200,000-strong army retreated to?"

Renli heard this,

"According to the schedule, we should have passed Yokoyama by now."

The garrison commander of Jingzhou asked, "Aren't the Prince of Pu and the Prince of Shu in contact?"

Renli said, "He sent back a message two days ago."

"We've already turned back the way we came."

"There has been no news in the past two days."

The garrison commander of Jingzhou asked, "Won't there be any unexpected events?"

"Otherwise, the Prince of Pu should have been sending back messages all along, right?"

Renli already knew that Huanqing Road had cut off the grain supply route.

Renzhong's army was trapped in Huanzhou.

But he believed his brother would definitely break through and return.

It seems that no one knows this yet.

They didn't want to tell them either, and instead asked,

"My brother commands two hundred thousand troops,"

"The King of Liang and his elite troops have entered our country,"

"Is there anyone in Shaanxi who can threaten my brother?"

Chapter 1917 Renli's Plans

Upon hearing this, the group

I also think it makes sense.

But then I felt something was off.

If nothing unexpected happens,

Renzhong's troops should also return home.

Once the army returns home

It's impossible that no one was unaware of the news.

The garrison commander of Jingzhou saw that the group was unable to reach a consensus in the short term.

However, their own troops were suffering continuous casualties.

Unable to resist speaking to the messenger behind him,

"retreat."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

A powerful horn sounded.

The Jingzhou troops, amidst the chaos of battle, heard the order.

They all withdrew from the battle and retreated.

But the bloodthirsty able-bodied men chased after them, killing them relentlessly.

Seeing this, Renli hurriedly shouted,

"Don't let the disorderly soldiers break the formation; each army should hold its ground."

Upon hearing this, many generals hurriedly issued orders.

A dense rain of arrows rose from the front lines like locusts.

They fired at the retreating Jingzhou soldiers.

Some soldiers who retreated quickly were immediately shot down to the ground.

The soldiers behind saw that the road ahead was blocked.

The only option is to go around to the side.

The able-bodied men gave up after chasing for a while.

They all scattered and fled.

Some even fled down to the city walls.

Zhao Yuan saw several Western Xia people shouting and fleeing towards him.

He then said to Han Shizhong, who was standing to the side,

"what did they say?"

Han Shizhong fought in the Northwest for more than ten years.

The simple words were understandable.

Especially since the people below were still shouting phrases commonly used on the battlefield, laughing,

"They want to surrender to us."

"These people killed Western Xia soldiers,"

"Just like with the rebellion, the Western Xia army will definitely retaliate."

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Move aside the wooden fence and let them in."

When the Western Xia people saw the Han people open the wooden fence,

Overjoyed, he rushed over.

Some people even invited their friends and family.

Many able-bodied men heard the commotion.

They also feared they wouldn't be able to escape the pursuit of government troops outside the city.

They all rushed over here.

Zhao Yuan immediately ordered Li Kui's troops to isolate all the able-bodied men who had just entered the city.

To avoid misunderstanding, the Western Xia people

They threw away all their weapons outside the city.

Upon entering the city, they were surrounded by Li Kui and his gang of card players.

They couldn't help but regret it.

Li Kui had been watching the fighting these past few days.

It had been held back for a long time.

He led his troops to surround the Western Xia people.

He immediately shouted excitedly towards the city wall.

"Should we kill all these Western Xia people?"

Zhao Yuan shouted, "Shave their heads and then let them go."

Among the Western Xia people below the city walls, those who could understand Chinese heard the general on the city walls say these words.

They were all relieved.

Compared to life, hair is nothing.

...

Although Renli also saw that the Liang soldiers had opened the wooden fence at the breach.

However, they did not foolishly attempt to seize the city.

The combination of fire-thunder and divine crossbow,

Let them see the gap as if it were a trap.

The Lingzhou garrison commander said anxiously, "Lingzhou cannot be defended."

"Xingqing Prefecture cannot be taken in a short time,"

"Then what are we still doing here?"

"Should we wait for the Liang army to attack from both sides?"

When everyone heard what the garrison commander of Lingzhou said,

They all had the intention to back out.

No one thought they could do better than Cha Ge and Li Qianshun.

Renli, seeing through everyone's thoughts, sighed.

"I originally thought there was internal strife in the Central Plains,"

"Our Xia Kingdom is about to prosper!"

"But unexpectedly, it brought about the destruction of the country."

"If we all disperse,"

"They will inevitably be defeated one by one by the Liang army."

"And so the Great Xia Dynasty truly perished."

Although the garrison commander of Jingzhou felt that Renli had ulterior motives,

However, he also did not want to see the Great Xia Dynasty perish, and upon hearing this, he said...

"Does Prince Shu have any plans?"

Renli looked around at everyone.

"The Yinchuan Plain cannot be defended,"

"The Liang army is coming in with great force,"

"We can only avoid their sharp edge."

"My brother's 200,000 troops are retreating from Huanqing Road,"

"We can lead our troops to Yanzhou,"

"To join my elder brother's army,"

"We'll come back to seize the Yinchuan Plain then."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers of Dingzhou frowned and said...

"Most of my soldiers, young and old, are stationed on the Yinchuan Plain,"
