The story of Zhao Tiezhu was only after the war ended, when Wang Ning'an learned from his subordinates and the escaped people... In order to cover the evacuation of the people, Zhao Tiezhu selected 200 soldiers from his subordinates.

Everyone was fighting fiercely. Some people said that there was no relative in the family, and they died and they didn’t have to care about anything. It would be better to stay and fight with Dong Jin. Some people said that if they had a wife and children, they already had descendants, and sons, they were not afraid of death, so they should stay!

Zhao Tiezhu was moved by these brothers who fought to die and never left him. He told everyone with tears in his eyes that he had fought countless wars for nearly 20 years in the army and was lucky enough to survive by chance. I don’t know how many people died on the battlefield.

Just two years ago, the court rectified the military affairs of the Northwest. Wang Xianggong and Bao Gong allocated a sum of money to build an account in the bank for each meritorious soldier, so there was no need to worry about being detained by Shangguan.

That year, Zhao Tiezhu killed two Western Xia soldiers and received a reward of 120 yuan. With this money, Zhao Tiezhu married a country girl as his wife, who was only 17 years old.

The old bachelor in his thirties finally bloomed.

The night he was the groom, Zhao Tiezhu was drunk, cried and laughed, and was blessed to think of those brothers who died in vain on the battlefield without even leaving their names.

Just over half a year ago, Zhao Tiezhu's wife became pregnant.

"Whether it's a girl or a boy, I finally have it!"

Zhao Tiezhu bowed to all the brothers, "There are three unfilial things, and no descendants are the greatest. Everyone is brothers, brothers of life and death. Those who already have a family, stay all of them, leaving the opportunity to survive for their brothers who have not yet started their family. This good life has not started with them, so they can't just disappear!"

"As for brothers who have no family, please help me take care of me when you survive. Don't let the dead brothers break their roots. After they go to the underworld, they don't burn paper to pay tribute to them, and they become lonely ghosts... I kowtow to you!"

The soldiers held back their tears and nodded in agreement.

Zhao Tiezhu immediately led 200 soldiers and 180 young and strong people who voluntarily stayed back to Kangle Village.

As soon as they entered the village, Dong Wen's army came overwhelmed.

Zhao Tiezhu immediately ordered the city gate to be closed and vowed to live and die with Kangle Village.

Before closing the city gate, he found 20 youngest soldiers and young men, and forced them to leave Kangle Village with all their war horses to chase other brothers and people.

With war horses, the people can run faster and have more hope of survival.

Without the war horses, the people in Kangle Village did not even have the chance to break through, and had to fight to the death.

The only way to die in the ages is to die, but it is not that difficult to choose... Zhao Tiezhu and more than 300 warriors faced an army of 100,000 and guarded for two and a half days.

No one surrendered, and no one lived.

Zhao Tiezhu was shot to death by arrows, and his head was hung on the flagpole to show his public.

When all the people defeated Dong Wen, they were lucky enough to find Zhao Tiezhu's head, but the body could never be found. Outside Kangle Village, the people chose the best Feng Shui place, buried him, and built temples, and sacrificed them continuously.

After the war, Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty personally wrote an article for Zhao Tiezhu, and the people converted the largest temple in Qingtang into the Zhaogong Temple.

The colorful gods and Buddhas in gold were smashed into pieces, and an inconspicuous warrior became the god in everyone's mind. Even in the long years that followed, the Zhaogong Temple even replaced the Guandi Temple and became the most common temple in the northwest land and even the entire Western Regions. The popularity of incense is incomparable...

"Those who are placed in death, brave and fearless, and sacrifice their lives for righteousness are valued by all generations, and are not stingy in rewards; those who can survive but go to the death with a sigh have been even rarer since ancient times. The commander of the horse army, Zhao Tiezhu, completed his mission and retreated according to the order, with merits and no faults. However, Zhao Tiezhu brought hundreds of soldiers to guard the lonely city alone and resisted strong enemies. Hundreds of people could escape safely and return to the Song Dynasty... Among them, there were two tribes of the British and Han tribes, men, women, and young... What Zhao Tiezhu did was not a city, one place, one clan and one surname, but a million creatures and the people of the Han people. He had never studied and did not understand the ways of sages, but many of them did things, even though Confucius and Mencius, were not as good as those who did it. The soldiers who expanded their territory and made meritorious and rewarded were in many places, and they all killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions. Zhao Tiezhu died to protect the people, which was very different. His heroic and generous generals throughout the dynasty were ashamed..."

This is a memorial written by Wang Ning'an for Zhao Tiezhu... After reading it, Zhao Zhen was extremely moved and posthumously awarded Zhao Tiezhu the governor of Side Prefecture, and gave him 100,000 yuan of money to build a temple to sacrifice. He also wrote an article himself. Zhao Tiezhu's leftover son was taken to the capital and went to study at the Royal Primary School. Twenty years later, the son inherited his father's business and joined the army to fight.

The descendants of the Zhao family have made many contributions and have become one of the generals and are widely spread...

The Battle of Kangle Village is heroic, but it is just a wave of torrents after all.

Dong Wen was arrogant and domineering, thinking that he could take over Silvia in one fell swoop.

His men and horses were vast and overwhelming. The proud Dong Wen claimed that as long as his cavalry charges, the Sizhou will fall at his feet.

Dong Wen drove his tribes to act as cannon fodder and attack Shizhou fiercely.

Wang Shao on the city was not afraid at all. He knew that although the people outside were ten times more powerful than him, the city of Silvia was not careful and tall. But he had enough killer moves.

This is a city built with cement. From the inside to the outside, there are not only solid walls, but also urns inside. Every market has a wall. As long as the gate is closed, it will be small castles.

Not only were the city tightly defended, but countless gunpowder and tinea oil were also stocked up.

As the base camp for the Qingtang, Wang Shao spared no effort to turn the Shuizhou into a super fortress and a huge military camp. Even if he had less than 10,000 people, he was not worried at all.

However, although he was well prepared, the tragic war was still shocked when he really fought. Especially his uncle Cao Qie was so scared that he changed his face and his hands and feet were numb.

Countless people and horses rushed up from all directions like ants.

They carried the ladder and the city ropes, trying to climb up the city wall.

What awaited them were bows, stones, tinder oil, and grenades... Wherever they were, there was almost no complete corpse, outside the city of Sishizhou, surrounded by piles of rotten meat.

Just a glance, I vomited so much, even my bile was spitting out.

Only then did Cao Qi realize how difficult it was for his ancestors to create the glory of the Cao family. As for his son Cao Ping, he was born and died and fought with his head. As expected, heroes are not that easy to be!

Cao Guojiu gradually became ruthless. On the fifth day, he could even carry a sword to fight against the Qing Tang soldiers who were climbing the city wall.

On this day, Cao Qi killed three people... It was not until dark that he ate a bite of meat buns. Strangely, he didn't feel disgusted at all, only sweet and delicious... He ate after eating, closed his eyes and quickly recovered his energy. He didn't know when the bloody battle was coming again...

Cao Qi persisted until the seventh day, and both sides of Xizhou were captured. Qing Tang soldiers rushed into the city with mountainous bodies.

When they screamed and thought that the stop was successful, they didn't know where they just peeled off the first layer of cabbage, and there were countless layers waiting for them to take action!

However, before the Qing Tang soldiers continued to attack, Wang Shao released fierce turbulent oil, and blazing flames spewed out from the underground ditch, instantly swallowing all the enemies who entered the city.

The fire not only burns the opponent, but also consumes oxygen, causing many people to suffocate. The battlefield is full of corpses with distorted postures, and they are burned to the darkness, like pieces of charcoal.

Dong Wen went crazy. He had lost tens of thousands of people just to attack Xizhou!

Although more than half of them were young and strong from various tribes, not his subordinates. The problem is that he also lost thousands of people, and Xihe was so tenacious that he could not see the hope of victory for a long time.

Dong Wen was shaken.

The leader of any nomadic group is almost instinctive to bully the weak and fear the strong.

No fool likes to fight head-on.

Some people often talk about the victory rate of the Song Dynasty, which seems to prove that the Song Dynasty is not weak. In fact, this is a completely deceptive thing. As for the most agile feline animal on the grassland, the success rate of predation is only one-sixth.

Can you count every time antelope escapes from cheetahs as a victory?

Sorry, that's called escape!

Just like the Song Dynasty, winning a battle with powerful cavalry is just to save your life, and the enemy may not lose much, but once the Song Dynasty fails, it will face the danger of destruction of its country.

A fatal battle is enough to lose one. Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, won 72 victories, but he only stumbled on all sides in Jiuli Mountain and committed suicide by slashing his throat in Wujiang, even Yu Meiren could not save him.

At this moment, Dong Wen kicked the iron plate.

This Wang Shao is indeed not as easy to deal with as it seems. Since that is the case, I might as well withdraw my troops, wait for the opportunity to attack Xizhou again.

Dong Wen wanted to escape.

But at this moment, Guizhang heard good news. His men had broken the Knot River Fort and besieged Lintao Fort. With a little more effort, Lintao Fort will be conquered. At that time, Guizhang's men could go around Wang Shao's rear to attack Didao, and cut off the supply of food and wages in Xizhou.

It's almost done, as long as you add a little more effort, the Song Dynasty will be defeated!

Xizhou is so strong that if you don’t take it down in one go, you will never have a chance again.

Dong Wu was insomnia. He was facing the most difficult decision in his life, whether to give up or continue to attack... As the son of a generation of heroes, Dong Wu was filled with the noble bloodline of the two powerful countries, Tubo and Khitan.

He was eager to prove that he was not just relying on his father to do anything, he was also a hero!

The next day at dawn, Dong Wen personally supervised the army and pressed the elite in his hand up. From morning to night, he attacked Xizhou fiercely. The urn city was broken and two markets were attacked.

One-quarter of Xizhou's city fell into Dong Wen's hands. Perhaps if you work harder, the Song army will collapse.

Dong Jie was eagerly looking forward, but he didn't know that Zhong Gu led ten thousand family troops to cross the Tao River from the Nanguan Fort and quickly rushed to Dong Jie's back.

The cold north wind kept moving south, and the days when Taoshui closed the river were not far away. A net of heaven and earth spread out, just waiting to harvest prey...

History is full of dust
