General Nube Zheng normalmente no se involucraba directamente en el combate, pero su segundo comandante, Jia Qi, podía supervisar personalmente las tropas y atacar.
Nube Zheng se dirigió hacia el este, donde Xiao Dahu era más probable que retrocediera.
Tiance Condado y Changleqing Condado estaban ubicados al este de la Ciudad Capital Occidental, todavía bajo control del Ejército Liao debido a su escasa fuerza militar.
Jia Qi había intentado una operación de ataque exploratorio antes, pero los soldados del Liao que defendían estas dos ciudades se habían retirado rápidamente hacia adentro.Debido a la gran nevada, los soldados de las dos ciudades utilizaron el principio del congelamiento por agua derramada para cubrir las ciudades de Tiancheng y Changqing con un espeso armadillo de hielo.
Al mismo tiempo, se quedaron sellados dentro de sus respectivas ciudades.After leaving the two counties under Zhao Yī’s cavalry to monitor, Jiā Qì returned to the Western Capital City and was tasked with surrounding the western side of the city.
As the battle in the eastern direction raged on fiercely, the situation on the west side was equally intense.
Jiā Qì utilized several small hills to position eight-ox crossbows and catapults there.
Once Liao soldiers entered their firing range, these weapons were used without hesitation, as Jiā Qì believed that they were less important than his own troops.
He preferred to use tigers or leopards for battle instead, but since arriving at the Western Capital City, he had never seen any of the young soldiers.
After accidentally asking the commander a question and being glared at, he decided not to bring it up again.
Now that the situation was unfavorable, he could no longer avoid entering the battlefield.
Jiā Qì's war spear moved like an unleashed dragon, sharp and unstoppable, or like the sunrise spreading its rays across the land.
The enemy soldiers facing him were all struck down one after another.
Jiā Qì’s eyes were bloodshot, resembling a red-eyed monster.
He no longer showed any signs of his former good looks or refined demeanor;only wildness, ferocity, and coldness remained.
Among the Western Capital Army, only Jiā Qì used weapons differently from others.
For example, he painted his iron spear with gold powder, something that no one else in the army did.
If not for Cloud Zhēng's reprimand, he might have even dyed his dark armor golden as well.
Thus, whenever he went into battle, countless Liao soldiers wanted to behead this high-ranking official and claim the reward.
The approaching Liao soldiers were caught off guard by the sudden charge from Song troops, like walls collapsing under a flood.
Dead or alive, they turned into bloody pulp beneath the iron hooves of the horses, leaving only a blood trail behind.
Panic spread among the Liao army as soldiers sought to avoid these fierce opponents and desperately tried to flee.
As Jiā Qì charged through the enemy ranks, his left flank was led by Liáng Jí, and his right flank by Hóu Dàzhì, who did not hesitate a moment and launched their own charge.
Their path directly coincided with where Liao soldiers had gathered to avoid Jiā Qì's charges.
