Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Not long after, Qu Duan led his troops into the city and forced the Xixia army who had entered the southern city out of the city wall.

Shi Jin and Han Shizhong started a massacre outside the city. After slaughtering the Xixia army who attacked the city, they went north around the city wall to attack the Xixia army who attacked the main city of Weizhou City.

The south gate of the main city of Weizhou City was still under the control of the Chu army. After clearing out the remnants of the enemy in the south city, Qu Duan brought an army horse to the south gate of the main city and shouted at the top of the city: "I am Qu Duan, I arrived with reinforcements, open the door quickly!"

"It's really Qu Tongzhi! Open the door, open the door quickly!"

The main city of Weizhou City was originally guarded by Qu Duan, and most of the defenders on the city were his subordinates.Seeing Qu Duan's return, the South Gate defenders happily opened the city gate and put Qu Duan's army horses into the main city.

At this time, the main city of Weizhou City has also ignited the flames of war.

Because the small city in the north was breached first, the north gate of the main city of Weizhou was the first to be stormed, and it had already been breached by the Xixia army.

After the Xixia army entered the city, Xi Gong organized soldiers and horses to start street battles with the Xixia army in the streets and alleys of Jingyuan Road, where there was no way to escape.

During the melee, the Chu army retreated steadily, and the Xixia army killed the Pan's Restaurant under the Zhuangyuan Bridge, and approached the Jinglue Mansion in the city.

Xi Gong looked desperately at the swarming Xixia army, and shouted hoarsely: "Block! Stop! There will be rewards! There will be rewards..."

Before he finished speaking, a arrow flew from nowhere and hit Xi Gong's throat.

Xi Gong covered Biaoxue's throat with his hands, his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground.

"Master Jinglue! Come, help Mr. Jinglue!"

The two staff members of Jinglue Mansion cried out in panic.

Just when the dragons in the Jinglue Mansion on Jingyuan Road were leaderless, and the generals in the city were about to flee separately, they heard a thunderous voice outside the Jinglue Mansion: "Brothers, don't panic, I have returned! The army has reached the outside of the city, and the Xixia dogs are defeated!"

When the Chu army in the city saw Qu Duan showing up with reinforcements, and heard him boast that [-] reinforcements had come from outside the city, their fighting spirit was rekindled.

The Xixia army in the city didn't know whether it was true or not, so they were three points timid.

The reinforcements that Qu Duan brought into the city were all elite soldiers trained by Shi Jin and his brothers for many years, and at this time they all charged forward like tigers joining a flock of sheep.

Seeing that these men from Shandong were so fierce, they were by no means comparable to the opponents they had fought recently, so they finally believed Qu Duan's words.

The Xixia army, who had lost their fighting spirit, scrambled to retreat outside the city.

At this moment, the horns of the Xixia Army's retreat also sounded outside the city.

Chapter One Thousand and Eight

When Wang Jin and Zhu Wu led the main force to the city of Weizhou, Brother Li Cha resolutely gave up entanglement with the Chu army, and assembled the army to retreat slowly.

Wang Jin, Shi Jin, Han Shizhong and others saw that the Xixia army had many soldiers and horses, and they advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, so they did not dare to rush after them.

Brother Li Cha was full of tricks, there was no guarantee that he would not lay another ambush on the way back.

Before sending scouts to find out the way, Wang Jin will not advance recklessly, repeating the mistakes of Qin Fengjun and Jingyuan Army.

For Wang Jin at this time, forcing back Brother Li Cha's army and breaking the siege of Weizhou City had already achieved the strategic goal before leaving.

As for the recovery of Zhenrong Army, Huaide Army, Xi'an Prefecture, Huizhou and other places, it is really difficult to do it with Wang Jin's tens of thousands of horses.

Facing 10,000+ elite soldiers from the Xixia Kingdom, Wang Jin had to establish a firm foothold in Weizhou, and then unite with the Shaanxi Fifth Route Army to regain the lost ground.

Moreover, when Wang Jin sent troops from Jingzhao Mansion, he had already received Ximen Qing's order.

After Ximenqing asked Wang Jin to recover Weizhou, he attracted the main force of the Xixia Army to the Zhenrong Army and waited for his main force to rush to Shaanxi.

Guan Shengjun rushed to Yan'an Mansion first, and he also shouldered a heavy responsibility similar to Wang Jin, that is, holding back the opponents in the direction of Yanyan Road and Huanqing Road, that is, the Xixia Army in Hengshan, Wuding River Basin, Xiazhou and other places.

Ximenqing did not expect Wang Jin and Guan Shengjun to repel the Xixia army.

On the contrary, Ximenqing hoped to use the land of Shaanxi Fifth Road as bait to attract the main force of the Xixia Army's field army here to confront the Chu Army.

In this way, Ximen Qing was able to find a fighter, use new weapons to deal a devastating blow to the main force of the Xixia Army, and eliminate the war potential of the Xixia Army at once.

After seeing the Xixia army returning to the north, Wang Jin ordered his army commander Zhu Wu to send scouts to follow him to confirm the situation of the Xixia army's retreat, and he himself led the army into Weizhou City.

After learning from Qu Duan that Jingyuan Road wardens Xi Gong and Qinfeng Road wardens Zhao Dian disregarded the overall situation and rashly dispatched troops, resulting in the loss of troops and generals, Wang Jin decided to take advantage of the situation to take down these local wardens who had dissent against Ximen Qing. , Escorted back to Bianliang City, Tokyo for punishment.

Just in order not to let the other strategies put everyone in danger, before the end of the war, Wang Jin had to endure it and pretend to be a snake.

When Wang Jin packed up his mood and entered the city, he realized that the two local military leaders he wanted to clean up had been perfectly solved.

After Zhao Dian's army was defeated by Qinfeng Road, he fell into the Jing River. So far, there are no dead bodies and no living people.Considering that he was wearing heavy armor when he fell into the water, he must have died in the Jing River.

Jingyuan Road Jinglue envoy Xi Gong was also lucky, and was shot and killed by Xixia army's arrows just before the reinforcements arrived.

Therefore, Wang Jin sat in Weizhou City and announced that he had taken over the troops on Jingyuan Road and Qinfeng Road.

Qu Duan, the commander of the Jingyuan Road Economic Strategy Division, was appointed by Wang Jin as the interim Jingyuan Road Economic and Strategy Envoy. He was asked to gather the remaining troops in Weizhou City, recruit local warriors, and reorganize the Jingyuan Army.

As for the position of envoy on Qinfeng Road, Wang Jin was undecided. After entering Weizhou City, he sent people to send letters to the states on Qinfeng Road, and asked the remaining generals to lead troops to serve in front of his account.

Wang Jin hinted that among the generals, those with outstanding military exploits will have the opportunity to be promoted to the Qinfeng Road Economic Envoy.

When convening the generals of the defenders in the city to discuss the matter in the yamen of the Economic and Strategy Department, Wang Jin got a piece of information that Xi Gong and Wu Jie had captured the Xixia Army prisoners, and learned that the Chu Army had recovered Pingxia City of the Huaide Army.

The generals told Wang Jin that Xi Gong was greedy for meritorious service, and ordered Wu Jie brothers to lead troops out of the city to pursue them. As a result, they fell into the tricks of the Xixia army, and Weizhou City was almost captured by the Xixia army.

Now there is no news of the Wu Jie brothers after they left the city, and it is likely that they have died for the country.

Judging from this, the so-called Pingxia City was conquered by the Chu army, I am afraid that nothing happened, but it is very likely that the coach of the Xixia Army, Brother Li Cha, deliberately set up a suspicious formation and led the army in the city to immediately hook.

Wang Jin heard the words of the generals defending the city, but he had doubts in his heart, and intuitively judged that there was indeed something wrong in Pingxia City.

Because Wang Jin had already seen Brother Li Cha's army outside the city today, the Xixia army had more troops than Wang Jin's army, so it shouldn't be easy to retreat.

Now, all we can do is wait for the information from the detectives in front of us.

If the Xixia army really retreated to the Zhenrong army, it means that there must be a problem with the Xixia army's retreat.

At that time, Wang Jin will lead his troops northward to the Zhenrong army, so that the Xixia army will be attacked by the enemy, and they will not be able to besiege Pingxia City with peace of mind.

If the Xixia army set up many ambushes along the way, and set up camp in the area of ​​Anguo Town and Wating Village, it means that the news that the Chu army recovered Pingxia City was false information fabricated by Brother Li Cha.

Wang Jin ordered all the generals to retreat, each to reorganize the team, reward the meritorious service, and save the dying and heal the wounded.

After the generals retreated, Wang Jin once again told Zhu Wu to send more people out to find out the news.

Zhu Wu also knew the importance of judging the enemy's situation, so he went out to deploy sentries in person.

Half a day later, information from outside the city came back to Weizhou City one after another.

First of all, there is a bad news. The 5000 troops of Wu Jie's army were defeated at the foot of Kongtong Mountain, and the corpses were scattered all over the field. From Anguo Town to Baiyan River, all the soldiers of Jingyuan Army were killed in battle.
