When Ming Jin's voice sounded, the western Xia army retreated like a receding tide!

Almost all of the Western Xia soldiers revealed an astonished expression. They had just launched an attack less than two hours ago, yet now they were retreating again! No one knew what happened!

Wan Yanzonggan was in the western Xia army, and at this moment, he had already rushed to Li Chage's side, and said: "General Li, what happened? Why did you order the withdrawal? "

Following that, Wan Yanzonggan saw Li Renli who was beside Li Chage, and his face revealed an expression of shock.

"Master Warranty, the Song people sent troops from Qin Feng Road, and are now at Xingqing Mansion City! There are only fifty thousand old and weak soldiers in Xingqing Mansion, and His Majesty is in imminent danger, so I have to bring the army back to Xingqing Mansion! " Li Chage said.

"What!" Wan Yanzonggan was shocked, his face also revealed an expression of disbelief!

"This time, the Song people have used a lot of forces! They split their troops into two groups, and took the lead as they attacked Hongzhou, Forbidden Province, and Yanzhou, luring the main force of Western Xia over here! The other path was to directly attack the Xingqing Mansion! The Song people had such a deep scheme! Right now, we must immediately head to the Xingqing Mansion to rescue His Majesty! I'm afraid the Song Army in Qin Feng Road is the main force, their goal is to break through the Xingqing Mansion, and destroy our Western Xia! " Li Renli said.

"That's right!" Li Chage also agreed to this principle, he nodded and said.

"So it's like that!" It's actually like this! " Wan Yanzonggan muttered to himself!

Soon, the order to return came down, the Western Xia Army was in an uproar! No one would have thought that Yan Zhou and all of Hongzhou would be occupied by these Song Army s. Li Chage actually gave the order to return! But not long after, news of Xingqing Mansion's encirclement spread, causing the entire western Xia army to exclaim in shock! The families of many people in western Xia army were all in Xingqing Mansion, and now that they were surrounded, the anxiety in their hearts could be imagined!

It had already been two hours since the start of the order, but the troops had yet to finish gathering. Li Renli said anxiously, "General, why are you still not done packing?"

Li Renli was enraged, and said: "General, how dangerous is the current situation! The Xingqing Mansion was in danger! Your majesty is also in Xingqing Mansion! At this time, we can only advance lightly, giving up all the food and supplies, giving up all the siege equipment, and immediately rushing to the Xingqing Mansion. That is the most important thing! Do you understand? "

After another hour had passed, the western Xia army finally began to move!

Three hundred and twenty thousand western Xia army s advanced towards the west! Countless provisions, supplies and siege equipment were left where they were. At this point in time, no one had the time to clean up these items!

The Western Xia soldiers each carried 10 days' worth of rations as they advanced forward!

At the same time western Xia army made her move, the gates of Yanzhou City's gates opened. Nearly a hundred thousand troops came out from Yanzhou City, and chased closely behind him!

"General Cha Ge, the situation in Xingqing Mansion is so dangerous, we should let the cavalry army go first!" After walking for an hour, Wan Yanzonggan came to Li Chage's side as he asked.

"I heard that there were over a hundred thousand people attacking Xingqing Mansion! Moreover, this is what we are witnessing. Who knows, there might be other Song Army coming from behind! Our cavalry is only a little more than a hundred thousand, walking all the way to Xingqing Mansion like this, we must be exhausted! We do not have the advantage in numbers, so we are definitely not the opponent of the Song Army! Therefore, we have to lead more than three hundred thousand troops to advance at the same time, and only when we reach the Xingqing Mansion and all the troops come together will we be able to defeat the Song Army! Xingqing Mansion is unusually strong, there are fifty thousand soldiers inside, countless civilians, they should be able to hold on for a while! " Li Chage said.

"This …" Wan Yanzonggan thought for a moment, then nodded his head.

Now, both Li Chage and Wan Yanzonggan were extremely anxious, Li Chage was worried about his own country, his own king, and his own family, while Wan Yanzonggan was worried about his own allies! He never thought that the Song Army would actually dispatch so many troops to head north! From the looks of it, the Song Army did not care about the situation in the Guan Shan at all, and wanted to eliminate Western Xia at all costs! The Song Army's plan was not small at all. They would attack the Western Xia Capital directly, and if the Capital were to be breached and the Western Xia Emperor captured alive, the Western Xia Emperor really did not know what to do!

"General, Lord Warrick, Yanzhou City is following behind us!" At this time, Li Renli spurred his horse to chase after them and said.

"Let me think of a way to deal with them!" Li Chage clenched his teeth and said.

After thinking for a long time, he still could not come up with an idea! He had already heard that the number of Song Army s chasing after him neared a hundred thousand! If he wanted to eliminate a hundred thousand Song Army, he would probably need a lot of time! Moreover, the price he had to pay was also enormous! This way, it would be even more difficult to save Xingqing Mansion!

The sky gradually darkened, and the western Xia army continued to move forward!

"When we reach the Wu Dao Beach, the terrain there is very complicated, so we are very clear on the unusual topography there! When we get there, we will fight to the death with the Song Army! First, eliminate the one hundred thousand Song Army s! " At this moment, Li Chage finally had an idea!

"Five beaches? Not bad, the terrain there is extremely complicated! That was good for the ambush! Once we get there, we will definitely be able to eliminate a hundred thousand Song Army s! Song people, they are so lowly, they actually dare to bully us like this, it's really ridiculous! They thought that with their clever plans, they would be able to eliminate us, but they didn't know that we were going to put them all into a dead end, and let them all die in our Western Xia! " Li Renli said with a cold smile.

The sky was getting darker and the road ahead could no longer be seen!

Li Chage ordered the army to stay here to rest!

However, after the western Xia army had rested for less than an hour, sounds of fighting came from up ahead!

There was actually a cavalry unit of the Song Army in front, these cavalry unit of the Song Army took advantage of the dark night to attack the western Xia army!

Li Chage quickly ordered the Western Xia Cavalry Soldiers to get on their horses and chase the Song Army Cavalry away!

Suddenly, just at this time, Li Chage received the news, countless Song Army infantry soldiers were rushing over!

"Quick!" Get up and prepare for Song Army! " Li Chage was panicking, he immediately ordered the soldiers to stand up, to guard against the attacks from the Song Army!

By the time the western Xia army had woken up, she was already less than ten miles away from them!

"General, we will deal with the Song Army after we reach the Wu Dao Beach!" Li Renli said.

"I understand!" Li Chage clenched his teeth and nodded!

Song Army was right behind him, it was impossible for him to rest now! Li Chage immediately ordered the army to continue advancing!

During the night, the Song Army followed behind them! The cavalry of Song Army Song was also faintly discernable as they continuously harassed and attacked them!

On the second day, Song Army was still following them!

western Xia army could only continue moving forward!

On the second night, Li Chage could no longer endure anymore. He sent twenty thousand troops to prepare to "raid" Song Army!

However, these twenty thousand strong army had just rushed to the front of Song Army, and almost began to collapse in a single contact!

At this moment, Li Chage finally saw the true power of the Song Army! During the siege that day, he had already felt that the Song Army's fighting strength was not to be trifled with! Now that they were fighting on the plains, he finally knew how big the gap was between the Western Xia Army and the Song Army!

According to his judgement, even if all three hundred thousand western Xia army s stopped to fight with the hundred thousand Song Army s, most likely both of them would still suffer!

He was shocked by this fact!

Immediately, Li Chage no longer had the determination to stop and fight. He prepared to follow his previous plan to fight the Song Army only after reaching the Wu Dao Beach.

It had already been five days and five nights, but the hundred thousand Song Army s were still following closely behind them!

After five days and five nights, no one from western Xia army could rest, and neither could anyone from later on!

Li Chage was in disbelief, the Song Army behind him actually had such endurance!

"General!" The soldiers can no longer move! " Li Renli came over to Li Chage's side and said.

"Let them go forward! In at most two days, we will be able to reach the Wu Dao Beach! " Li Chage said.

He was also abnormally tired. At this moment, his voice was somewhat hoarse as he spoke.

On the twenty-second of the third month, over three hundred thousand western Xia army entered the desert!

The snow had melted long ago, and there was even a hint of green in the desert! It seemed that before long, the grass would grow and spring would arrive!

The western Xia army was exhausted, and they struggled their way forward on the desert.

Behind them, the hundred thousand Song Army s were also exhausted, but they were on their way with great difficulty!

In the afternoon, the sky turned gloomy, and at dusk, it started drizzling!

The early spring drizzle was exceptionally cold!

Countless Western Xia soldiers were trembling!

"Hold on for another day!" In one day, we will be able to reach the Five Paths! When we get there, it will be the end of the Song Army! " Li Chage galloped his horse and galloped through the army, constantly giving orders.

Hearing that it was only one day, those Western Xia soldiers finally revealed a happy expression! They could no longer hold on! But if it was only for a day, they could still force themselves to persevere!

They had originally brought 10 days' worth of rations with them, but because they were too tired, many of them had even thrown away their rations in order to lighten the weight and allow themselves to continue walking!

As long as they walked out of the Gobi Desert, they would be able to arrive at Spirit State.

So, it's okay to be hungry for a few days! As long as they could reduce their burden, they would rather starve for a few days!

Many of the Western Xia soldiers had even thrown down their armor!

At night, they were still on their way!

The temperature grew lower and lower!

In the middle of the night, the rain suddenly turned into snow!

The Western Xia soldiers were even more unbearable!

On the morning of March 23rd, they were still on the road with great difficulty!

On this day, the snow was falling harder and harder, and the wind was blowing harder and harder!

The cold wind howled, and snow covered the sky!

As the sky gradually darkened, Li Chage's face revealed a trace of excitement: "Right in front of us is the Five Paths Beach!"

Many of the Western Xia soldiers also revealed a smile. They all knew that the Pentecost Beach was about to arrive!

"Faster!" Faster! In another four hours, we will be able to pass through! " Li Chage said excitedly.

At this moment, whether it was Li Chage, Li Renli or the others, all of them slightly heaved a sigh of relief. Not to mention the soldiers, even they had never experienced such a arduous journey! The Song Army had always been right behind them, the tenacity of her willpower was beyond their imagination! western Xia army had no choice but to rush forward, but to chase after him! These two were completely different!

The snow was so heavy that some of the soldiers could no longer walk. They could only lie on the ground and never get up! However, most of the Western Xia soldiers were still on their way!

The time had come. They had finally arrived at the Wu Dao Beach!

"Quick!" Enter! Set up defenses here! and then eliminate one hundred thousand Song Army s! " Li Chage said.

Three hundred thousand people from the Western Xia had already entered the Five Paths!

Li Chage only had enough time to take a bite of the cake. He got off the horse, but the horse was already exhausted, and could not even move!

He took a deep breath and looked around. At that moment, his expression suddenly changed!

In the north, a dense mass of flames suddenly appeared!

He didn't know how many there were, or how far he could go!

A few days ago, he received news that the Song Army had attacked the Iron Gate Pass, and there were roughly fifty thousand of them. However, the fifty thousand Song Army that should have appeared in the Iron Gate Pass, had actually appeared at the Five Way Beach!

"How could this be?" Li Chage was shocked!

"General, look to the west!" At this time, Li Renli hurriedly ran over to Li Chage's side and said.

Li Chage looked towards the west. Only now did he realise that there were countless flames in the west!

The hundred thousand Jingyuan Army s who were supposed to be in the Xingqing Mansion, had already arrived at the Five Way Beach, and had been waiting here for a long time for the main force of Western Xia! They had not set off from Qin Feng Lu Qingzhuang to attack Xingqing Mansion at all! They did not have any siege equipment in their hands, how could they attack the capital of Western Xia? How could they possibly fight with their bare hands against the Northwest City, which Cheng Jisihan had been unable to defeat even after using a few months of time in history? Their goal had always been to form the main force of Western Xia with a force of three hundred thousand people! After they obtained the rations in Shunzhou City, they only stayed under the Xingqing Mansion for two days. Then, they arrived at Wu Dao Beach and waited for the arrival of the main force of Western Xia!

As for the fifty thousand Tsinghua Army s who attacked Iron Gate's gate, they were led by Liu Qi. They were waiting for the arrival of the Western Xia's main force!

Together with the following hundred thousand Shanbei Forbidden Army s who were unceasingly pursuing them, they had finally surrounded the main force of Western Xia!
