The eighth year of Shaoxi, autumn.

Temujin sent troops to the south.

In just two months, the Mongolian army captured all parts of the Western Regions, broke the Secret Sect, destroyed the Bai Tuo Villa, and destroyed the Tubo tribes.

Immediately, Temujin marched eastward, lightning encircled Ling State, the important town of Xixia, and cut off the connection between the east and west of Xixia, but also blocked the retreat channel of Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xixia, to the south. The road can be retreated.

Xixia shook, and the lord listened to the advice of his ministers, concentrated all the elites of the country in the capital Xingqing Mansion and Ling State, relying on the natural dangers of the Yellow River and Helan Mountain to fight Mongolia.

Therefore—

Temuzhen had a hundred thousand troops. Soon after the West Expedition, the West Liao Dynasty was destroyed, and the morale was exhausted.

Xixia has an army of 300,000 nationwide, living in the mountains and rivers, united in a city, and morale is extremely high.

Comparing the two sides, a battle is launched in Ling State City.

By the way, a hundred years ago, the Northern Song Dynasty sent a 300,000 army, and it was also in Ling State City to fight Xixia.

In that battle, Xixia built a strong wall and cleared the country, enticing the enemy to deepen, first fatigued and then attacked, and it actually defeated more with less and almost wiped out the main force of the Song Dynasty.

So this time the West Xia Country master is full of confidence and wants to reproduce the glory of the year.

However, no one didn’t expect, Temujin only used one move to encircle the aid, and he played with Xixia in applause.

Outside Ling State city is the Yellow River. At this time, it is winter. The Yellow River is freezing. You can walk, but cannot bear the weight of the cavalry, and the speed is extremely slow.

Therefore, the party who took the initiative to launch the offensive must not be pleased. Mongolia and Xixia are facing each other across the Yellow River, and neither is willing to move.

If this stalemate continues, it is undoubtedly a loss for the Mongolian army that has penetrated into the enemy’s belly.

Who expected that Temujin didn’t solve the army outside the city first, but turned around to deal with Ling State in the deep pool of Gaocheng, ordering soldiers to encircle, pile up firewood, and pretend to set fire to the city.

The black smoke straightened up, and the Xixia general in the distance could see turn pale with fright, and immediately waved his army to help.

Temujin arranged a large number of Archers to shoot the infantry slowly advancing on the ice, and at the same time intentionally let some of the remnants into the city.

The Ling State city guard sent scouts to signal that they did not want to reinforce their troops. They were all shot by the Mongolian army. The General on the other side also found that they were in the middle, no longer paid attention to, and wanted to run out of Mongolian food and grass.

However, Tiemuzhen sent people to Xingqing Mansion to spread rumors that there had been Mongolian meticulous work in Ling State, and they wanted to meet the inside and outside, while the reinforcements outside the city were ill-intentioned and could not save themselves.

West Xia Country master ordered that no matter how to keep the city safe, General did not comply, and unexpectedly changed his general temporarily.

So, the defenders in the city did not dare to leave the city rashly, and their reinforcements were also consumed.

What’s more vicious is that the soldiers who deliberately put into the city are basically in a state of defeat. Not only do they have no heavy weapons, but also no supplies and medicine, the pressure inside the city is increasing.

When Ling State had accumulated more than 100,000 troops in the city, he couldn’t afford the consumption of food and grass. Temujin besieged and did not attack, waiting for the opponent to eat up the food and destroy himself.

The defender had no choice but to break through the city and fight to the death. It is a pity that Temujin had already bend bow and place arrow outside the city, waiting for the exhausted Xixia army to walk right into a trap.

In just half a month, Mongolia captured Ling State City and turned Xingqing Mansion in Xia Country into an isolated city.

In this battle, nearly half of Xixia’s 300,000 main force was killed in battle, while Mongol casualties were less than 5,000.

This brilliant victory over shocking the world, but Temujin also experienced a life and death test——

Xuzhu assassination!

The battle was extremely fierce. Thousands of Mongolian warriors fought back and fought the Xuzhu heavy losses.

Temujin disappeared three days later before returning.

At this time, the Lord of Xia Country has asked Song for help, bowed his knees, willing to be attached, just to repel Mongolia.

Shaoxi nine years, spring.

Da Song sent troops.

Gu Cheng leader personally bringing troops into battle, starting from a hundred thousand army, marching quickly within eight days, entering the territory of Xixia, stationed in Helan Mountain.

“Longevity is in heaven, may you bless my Mongolian warrior, the man of the grassland, continue to be invincible and invincible!”

In Ling State city, Temujin offers Cattle and sheep, in the etiquette of the grassland, sacrifice to God.

His face is as white as a fine jade, but he does not hide his rugged and bold imposing manner, but his tone is extremely humble, and he owes his achievements to heaven.

Temujin knew that he would face the most severe challenge.

The resilience of Xixia is unexpectedly strong. The fall of Ling State City and the defeat of 300,000 troops do not mean ruin.

When Mongolian soldiers surrounded the capital Xingqing Mansion, they were greeted by the last roar of the party members.

rather die than submit!

In fact, this is also self-inflicted. Why did Mongolia destroy the Liao Dynasty so quickly?

Two words-Tucheng!

As long as you don’t descend, you will slaughter the city, wherever you go, bones are like mountains.

Therefore, with lessons learned from the past, and facing the danger of total destruction, Xixia still does not fight his life?

Tiemuzhen swept the Western Regions, took down half of the Xixia region, and besieged the capital. It took only a few months. It was fast as lightning, but the next few months were spent on siege. The bridge is hard and there is no fancy.

Like Xiangyang in the future, the Mongolian cavalry who were good at fighting on the plains suffered heavy casualties and failed to capture Xingqing Mansion. They had to be surrounded by groups, hoping that the city would run out of ammunition and food, and would lose without fighting.

At this critical moment, Gu Cheng set out for the army.

As soon as the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty arrived, not to mention it became difficult to block the enemy’s grain road and reinforcements. Even the Liupan Mountain area that Mongolia had already occupied became precarious.

So Tie Muzhen must defeat the Song Army and destroy Xixia’s last hope.

Otherwise, he will give up all his previous work and can only roll back to the grassland. Xixia is also conquered by Song Dynasty as easy as blowing off dust. It is simply a wedding dress for the enemy.

A few days later, Mongolia came out of Ling State City, and the soldiers pointed to the Helan Mountain where the Song Army was located!

Among all the mountains in China, there is not one like Helan Mountain, which has been in various wars in all dynasties.

The war between the Qin people and the Xiongnu lasted for hundreds of years to unify the first emperor of the six kingdoms. In the end, he could not wait until the day he captured Helan Mountain.

In the Han Dynasty, the famous general Wei Qing led his army northward to fight against the Huns, and it was the first time that the military power of the Central Plains regime was extended to the Helan Mountain area.

However, the war did not stop. The robbery conflicts, small-scale ambushes, and mountain encounters between the nomads and the Central Plains regime lasted for another 700 years.

Needless to say in the Wei and Jin Dynasties of the Three Kingdoms, in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the ethnic minorities that ruled the Helan Mountain area were Turks, Tubo and Huihe successively, among which the most brave were Turks.

In the first year of Zhenguan, Jie Li Khan led hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry into the Weishui River. Jingyang, where they were stationed, was only seven to ten li away from the Great Tang capital, Chang’an.

After another dynasty, here is finally Dragon Transformation, an empire based on the mountain range was born.

150 years ago, Li Yuanhao proclaimed the emperor, the Khitan cavalry came on an expedition, and suffered a disastrous defeat in Helan Mountain. Xixia officially rose, and it was only then that the Northern Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom, and Xixia formed a triumphant position.

Now, the Song Dynasty and Mongolia have finally fatefully launched the final duel here to complete their respective unending careers!
