Chapter 320: The Western Xia Rebellion (2)
Wu Jie and Iron Punishment were like a lurking tiger at this time, once the hungry wolf of Western Xia had civil strife, they would instantly pounce out and tear him apart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
For this war, Guanzhong and Taiyuan secretly transported supplies to Lanzhou and Xiazhou.
At this time, Western Xia sent Li Yancheng to Jingzhou to appease Ren Dejing, and on the other hand, mobilized the army to the south.
"We can't wait, this Li Yancheng actually came to appease us in person, it seems that the country is going to do it. ”
Ren Dejing looked at Li Yancheng who was leaving, with a sneer on his face, turned to look at Ren Decong and said, "Second brother, how are our soldiers and horses prepared?"
"Big brother, the 200,000 soldiers and horses are all equipped, this time we did the secret, several times it was the Song caravan that pretended to be horse bandits to rob and send armor and weapons, and now the Great Song Dynasty also deliberately mobilized the army to invade, just to confuse Western Xia!"
"What the eldest brother said is right, now part of the army in Guazhou is gradually moving south, and Nurchi is also leading troops to be stationed in Shunzhou, which is obviously guarding against us.
If we don't do it, Li An'an will definitely lead his troops to eradicate us, just like the chiefs of those tribes!"
When Ren Degong said, he also pointed to the map and said: "Big brother, we have already arranged the army in the Jingsai Military Division, Mengjing, Hongzhou, and Longzhou to train in a line with Xiazhou in the Great Song Dynasty. Xiping Mansion, and then Xingqing Mansion, as long as we solve the killing army in Shunzhou, we can start from Jingzhou, straight to Xingqing Mansion, we have 20,000 elites in Jingzhou, only two days away from Xingqing Mansion, day and night, maybe we can occupy the royal city, even if we can't occupy the royal city, we will expel the party people to the north of the Yellow River, occupy the Hetao The desire is enough to realize, when the time comes, there is the danger of the Yellow River in the north to block the party and the Jurchens, and there is the resistance of the mountains in the south, resist the Great Song Dynasty, we can slowly increase our strength and sit and watch the Three Kingdoms War。 ”
When Ren Degong said, there was a look of excitement on his face, but there was also a trace of worry in this excitement: "Big brother, now we don't have enough mastery of gunpowder and artillery, and the military observation group of the Song people only guides the use of gunpowder, and doesn't let us touch those cannons at all!"
"We rely on the Great Song Dynasty a lot now, and we can't lose the big because of the small, and after we have laid down the country, we will talk about other things. Ren Dejing waved his hand, said solemnly, and then said to Ren Decong: "Second brother, summon all the generals from all sides and prepare to raise troops!"
"Okay!" Ren Decong immediately ordered, and when the three of them were preparing with their troops, Xiazhou and Lanzhou were also constantly acting, just to confuse Western Xia, and within the border between the Great Song and the Jurchens, tens of thousands of troops continued to gather and put on a posture of invading the Jurchens.
This made Wanyan Wu Qimai, who was determined to reform, look shocked, and immediately sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty to ask why the Great Song Dynasty was treacherous and provoked without authorization.
For the envoys of the Jurchens, the Great Song Dynasty only ridiculed and concealed his true intentions.
"Liangchen, have you started?"
On the main hall of the Forbidden City in Yanjing, Zhao Shu asked Han Shizhong in the Governor's Mansion, Han Shizhong said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it has begun, half a month ago, Xiping Gong of Western Xia asked for the title of King of Chu, Li An'an did not allow it, Ren Dejing raised troops in the name of Li An'an killing his uncle and mother, depriving the tribal patriarch of the right for no reason, and destroying the ancestral system, etc., and the army connected several cities within three days, trapping the killing army in Shunzhou, and now it has occupied Huaizhou, only a hundred miles away from Xingqing Mansion!"
"What about Iron Punishment and Wu Jie?"
Zhao Shu asked lightly, but there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, three days ago, the iron punishment general sent troops from Xiazhou, defeated the Zuoxiang Shenyong Army, captured the general Gao Yi alive, and occupied Yinzhou, and then General Zhao Long set off from Taiyuan, the two armies marched to the land of the river meanders at the same time, no accident, six days later, it will meet with the Heqing army stationed in the river meander city and the Jinsu army of the triangle river, this Hequ city is the most important grain production place in Western Xia, as long as he occupies him, whether it is Ren Dejing or Western Xia, he will lose an arm. ”
Han Shizhong's expression was a little excited, and many ministers in the court were also shocked when they heard it, they didn't expect that the imperial court would make such a big battle in advance, attacking from three directions, this is the rhythm of destroying Western Xia.
The ministers also learned about this matter this morning, and their hearts were shocked.
Han Shizhong walked to the top of the main hall, stretched out his hand and pointed to one of the maps and said to Zhao Shu: "Your Majesty, Wu Jie has marched from Lanzhou, leading an army of 30,000 to fight with Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division of Western Xia, this army is the elite army of Western Xia, originally to rescue Xingqing Mansion, but now it is dragged by General Wu Jie, as long as we defeat this army and cooperate with Ren Dejing's army, we can attack from both sides and drive the party to the north of the Yellow River!"
Hearing Han Shizhong's heroic words, the ministers of His Royal Highness couldn't help whispering, some were shocked, some were worried, and some were even pessimistic.
"Your Majesty, this mobilization of troops is a major national event, and will it be detrimental to the construction of the country? The Jurchens have formed an alliance with the Western Xia, and if the Jurchens send troops, how should we deal with it? Will it become the War of the Three Kingdoms?"
An envoy stepped forward with a worried look and asked, and as he asked, many of the ministers below looked even more worried.
Zhao Shu looked at Han Shizhong and motioned for him to continue.
Han Shizhong looked at these ministers and said with a smile: "General Yue Fei has already sat in Shanhaiguan to contain the Jurchen army and make it dare not move, this war is to take advantage of the extreme civil strife in Western Xia to send troops to crusade, not without consulting with the ministers, but the sudden outbreak of things!"
Han Shizhong smiled and said in his words, Zhao Shu waved his hand, stopped the ministers who were still arguing below, and said with a smile: "The civil strife in Western Xia, we just sent troops, you Aiqing will see this victory and defeat!"
Seeing His Majesty speak, everyone was not good at saying anything, and at this time, outside the jurisdiction of Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division, tens of thousands of soldiers in heavy armor were holding long knives and forming a column of phalanxes, each soldier looked cold at this time, and the red battle clothes made these phalanxes look more like a prostrate red giant beast.
To the left, right, and rear of the foot party of these phalanxes were 10,000 Great Song cavalry troops, who supported the two flanks of the phalanx to prevent the Western Xia army from sneaking up on the flanks, and at the same time waited for the phalanx to defeat these cavalry, and immediately pursued them.
The combat effectiveness of the infantry of the Great Song Dynasty is amazing, and when fighting against these grassland barbarians, there are few defeats, but the Great Song Dynasty lacks horses, there are not enough cavalry, every time after defeating these Hu cavalry, they cannot catch up with them, once they pursue with all their strength, it will make the formation collapse, and these Hu people will turn back.
At this time, with the infantry as the formation, after defeating these Hu cavalry, the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty will take advantage of the situation to cover and kill, which is also the most classic way of fighting in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and it is the most restrained Hu people.
In front of them are the fierce Zhuo Luo of Western Xia and the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Southern Military Division, these cavalry are all iron-armored scimitars with fierce eyes, these are the most elite cavalry in Western Xia.
Since the founding of the Western Xia, they have relied on their own strength, fighting in the south and in the north, and they are extremely powerful, but now they are facing tens of thousands of troops who are also fighting in the south and north of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Up!"
When a red order flag waved, in front of each phalanx, a thick sound sounded, brushed, all the soldiers immediately distanced, the long knives in their hands directly stretched forward, forming a huge forest of knives, bright and dazzling, the phalanx also slowly operated, moving slowly towards the cavalry in front.
