The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 506: Dao Lord’s Thoughts, Xixia Heavy Armor

Tokyo, Imperial City, Enfukugong Palace.

"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Emperor Daojun slapped the dragon table in front of him violently, his expression was shocked, and his beard was trembling wildly.

The ministers below looked at each other with extremely complicated expressions.

Emperor Daojun roared: "What does this villain want to do? What does he want to do? I am currently recovering the old land of Houshan, the homeland of Yanyun, and he is going to attack the Xixia Prefecture Division. Does he want to compete with me for credit?"

No one spoke, and no one knew what to say at this moment. The latest news about the northwest military situation was that the second king actually killed Xixia.

Just killing them is nothing, but they actually defeated Zhuoluo and Nan and Xishou Baotai, two Xixia military divisions, and also defeated Xiliang Mansion.

The Song Dynasty and Xixia have been at war for hundreds of years, and they have never achieved such a great victory. In terms of this matter alone, it is simply unprecedented and probably will never come after.

Emperor Daojun is getting more and more angry now. The war against Liao is going smoothly now. Sixteen states have conquered fifteen. Only Yanjing cannot fight for a long time. However, it will only be a matter of time before he captures Yanjing. By then, he will complete the task of Taizu. Even Taizong's long-cherished wish was to take back the old land that had been living abroad for many years. What an achievement is this?It must be flaunted in history and admired by the world.

In his dynasty, he had the largest territory, the most money and grain, and the largest population. He also opened up new territories, regained rivers and mountains, and destroyed Liao and showed great power. Who can compare with him?

He was the most wise and powerful king of the Song Dynasty. None of the previous emperors of the Song Dynasty could compare with him. Moreover, he loved the people like a son and built many nursing homes from prefecture to township, as well as Xinglin Hospital, which provided free diagnosis and treatment for the people. , which emperor has ever done such virtuous governance since ancient times?

Not only was he the most wise and powerful king in the Song Dynasty, but he was even more generous than the Emperor of Zhou, Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and even Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty!
Later generations will definitely rank him with these emperors, and his fame will last forever!

But now, at this moment, that evil obstacle actually attacks Xixia?
After hundreds of years of war in Xixia, it was difficult for the Song Dynasty to make any progress. It would be okay if Nie Zhan was defeated. If he won, there was even a slight possibility of reaching Xingqing Mansion, then...

Thinking of this, Emperor Daojun couldn't help but jumped up in anger. If he could repay it like that, wouldn't it directly dilute his contribution to regaining Yanyun?

The destruction of Xixia and the recovery of Yanyun each have their own merits, but if we really want to compare them, it is obvious that the achievement of destroying Xixia is higher and greater.

Destroying Xixia was an act of opening up territory, and annihilating a country that had been an enemy for centuries was a demonstration of martial arts and awe-inspiring to the four nations.

Although the recovery of Yanyun is also a major event, in terms of shock level and actual benefits, it is somewhat inferior to the eradication of Xixia.

Although he doesn't quite believe that Zhao Tong can accomplish this century-old thing, but what if?What if it really succeeds?Then wouldn't his recovery of Yanyun be greatly compromised in the eyes of the world?
It's not like the Liao Kingdom was completely destroyed by him, that was what the Jin Kingdom did. In this way, Zhao Tao's command of troops to destroy Xia would overwhelm him and regain Yanyun.

"Obstacle, bastard, bastard!" Emperor Daojun was so angry that he looked at the people below and said, "How do you explain this matter?"

No one knows what to say. This matter is simply a confusing matter, but if you analyze it carefully, it should be a good thing, right?

He Li stood up at this time and said: "The official family and the ministers think that the King of Qin's victory over the two military divisions of Xixia is... but for our consideration for the Song Dynasty. It is a happy event."

"A happy event? Are you thinking about our Song Dynasty?" Emperor Daojun immediately exploded upon hearing this, banging bang bang bang on the table: "If this evil obstacle is really thinking about the Song Dynasty, half of Xihe Road will be lost, and even Xizhou will be lost. Xixia's Hand, why didn't he go back to help? Why did he continue to attack? He, he clearly had ulterior motives!"

"This..." He Li grinned. How should he say this? He thought for a long time about what to say. It was really difficult to guess what the second king was thinking, so he couldn't help but stop talking.

When Emperor Daojun saw that he had stopped talking, he felt more and more that he was right. This scoundrel must have done it on purpose. Seeing that Yanyun Sixteen Provinces were about to be taken back, he went to attack Xixia, hoping to deliberately disgust him and suppress him. One end.

"You have ulterior motives, you have ulterior motives!" Emperor Daojun came out from behind the desk and shouted in front of everyone: "What does he want to do? He actually went to fight Xixia, Xixia's centuries-old enemy, and no one has been able to control it. He thought Can you subdue it yourself? Can you destroy Xixia? By the way, where did this evil obstacle get its soldiers?"

There was silence in the main hall, especially when Emperor Daojun talked about soldiers, yes, where did King Qin get the soldiers and horses?

Those from the northwest who were supposed to be transferred to the Liao Kingdom were all transferred, and the rest were not heard of joining the King of Qin. And it would take tens of thousands to defeat Xixia, right?Where did all this come from?

Emperor Daojun looked at everyone and bowed his head in silence. Suddenly he thought of something that made him even more angry, something that made him even more angry than Zhao Tong who suddenly had tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands.

"Military pay! Where did this evil military pay come from? To fight Xixia, we need at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Military pay of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. That's a lot of money. Where did he get so much money?"

Emperor Daojun recalled in his mind what the second son had said to him in the past, that he lived a simple life, had no hobbies and needs, and was not interested in money.

Liars, they are all liars!Emperor Daojun's eyes were red. This must have all been a lie to him. What this villain said was all irony. He must like money more than anyone else. Otherwise, how could he have saved tens of thousands of military pay?

I'm afraid that when he conquered Wang Qing and fought against Fang La, he was greedy for ink. When he came back, he only gave him a small amount of money to fool him. The real boss had long been hidden, and he was just waiting for this day to confront him.

When I think of this, Taojun changes to the emperor, and his heart feels like a knife. It's all my money, it's all my money, and now I'm letting this villain squander it!

No, this is not possible!He took the money, but he still wants the name. How could anything be so cheap in the world!
Emperor Daojun hurriedly walked back behind the desk, looked at everyone and said loudly: "Hurry up and write a letter to King Yun and Tong Guan, asking them to attack quickly. We must capture the city of Yanjing this month!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Emperor Daojun felt that it was still not enough, and ordered again: "Deploy [-] imperial troops from the capital to support the Liao war. Let's set off today!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. It is not easy to send troops from the capital for this kind of overseas war. What's more, when King Yun went north, he had already taken away 2 people. Now that he sends [-] more, wouldn't Kaifeng be empty?
"Your Majesty..." Tang Ke spoke at this time.

Emperor Daojun waved his hand impatiently: "Go and do it quickly, go and do it quickly!"

Seeing his resolute look, no one dared to say anything, and they all saluted and left the hall.

Emperor Daojun watched everyone leave, reached out and grabbed the little orange on the table, poured himself a cup, drank it all, and then cursed again: "Niezi, bastard, bastard, bastard..." Xixia , beside Roulang Mountain, Huizhou City.

Huizhou is actually bigger than Zhuolu. Among the state cities of the military divisions along the Xixia border, it is second only to Weizhou City of the Jingsai Military Division, Hongzhou of the Bijaning Military Division, Shizhou and Yinzhou of the Xiangyou Military Division. The cities near the border are all larger.

However, Huizhou is the administrative seat of the Xishou Baotai Military Division, while Hongzhou, Yinzhou and other places are not the administrative seat, so there are some discrepancies in this comparison.

Zhao Tong sat in the lobby of the Huizhou Military Supervisory Department, looking at the military intelligence reports being delivered one after another, with an unperturbed expression.

That day, the army rushed to the West City Gate, rushed in, and captured Huizhou City with almost no effort.

There was no fierce resistance from the upper and lower levels of Huizhou City. Mi Qinzandao, the commander-in-chief, fled, and the remaining soldiers surrendered directly. Zhao Tao did not go on a killing spree, but directly rectified military affairs and put out a list to pacify the people. Within two days, this place The important border city has returned to its former appearance.

Then he wrote a letter to Liu Suiyun, telling Liu Suiyun that he must guard the land west of Hexi and not let the Xixia army get involved in Huangzhou and other places. Moreover, the recruitment matter must be accelerated. Try to recruit as many people as possible. The age and physical fitness can be relaxed. , these people do not have to go to the battlefield to fight, they can be stationed in the rear city or serve as soldiers.

He also wrote a secret letter to General Lu in Liangzhou. This letter was very long, spanning three or four pages. He sealed it with wax pills and sent someone to send it quickly.

Now that Huizhou City has been captured, the Xixia Xingqing Mansion will definitely be uneasy. After all, this is the place where the Xia soldiers who went on an expedition to Xihe can use their retreat. If they really want to go back from here and attack the Song army from the front and back in Xihe, those The Xixia soldiers who crossed the river immediately fell into the unfavorable situation of being attacked from both sides.

Zhao Tong guessed in his heart that King Richard of Jin would probably come with his troops personally, and even three thousand iron kites would follow him if not good. If this was true, then General Lu's plan of "trooping out of Ziwu Valley" would not work. It may not be impossible!

At present, the war in Liao is in full swing. He must hurry up and pacify Xixia, and then seal the northern grassland so that the defeated Liao army, especially Yelu Dashi and others, cannot move westward.

Since the Liao Kingdom will be destroyed under the general trend, it is better to let it be destroyed completely, and there is no need to create a Western Liao in the future to annoy people.

Although it was wrong for the Song Dynasty to unite with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty, it was already wrong and cannot be undone, so just make the mistake as long as it is wrong.
Now that he is occupying Huizhou, as long as he can withstand the main force of the Central Xixia Army, there is no need to worry about the failure of General Lu's surprise attack on Xingqing.
But there are still shortcomings at the moment, that is, there are not enough troops and horses. Huizhou currently only has 2 troops including the surrendered troops, which is really too few.

After Zhao Tong thought about it, he mobilized troops from Gaizhu, Tiandeng, Yongzhu, Zhuoluo, Fuchuan and other places.

Not much can be drawn from other places, but there are still people in Shichuan. Du Bo and Xu Ning are guarding Shichuan. There are more than 7000 troops from the headquarters below, and there are about [-] or [-] prisoners who have not surrendered.

In this way, they gathered [-] troops, and Du Bo and Xu Ning led them directly to Huizhou.

Now that the territory was getting bigger, Zhao Tong also ordered local recruitment everywhere. The conditions promised were naturally much better than those in Xixia, but the results were somewhat unsatisfactory. The population of Xixia was really too small, especially in the border areas, where the people were even sparse. , it is too difficult to recruit more people from it.

However, there are 3 people in Huizhou at the moment, and Zhao Tong has some confidence in his heart. Among these 3 people, there are [-] vine armors. Those who were killed before are replaced by ordinary infantry. In addition, there are nearly [-] cavalry.

He originally did not have so many cavalry, but he captured countless war horses in successive battles, so he continued to form a cavalry team. As long as there is no shortage of horses and light armor, it is not difficult to form a cavalry team. After all, almost everyone in the northwest can ride. Control, no need to teach.

What was left in the end was 3 regular infantry. Of course, in addition to these [-], there were also some conscripts in Huizhou City, all of whom were selected from the surrendered army and were older and unqualified.

In the following days, there were various exercises, led by Du Bo himself. Training continued every day. Zhang Xian also taught formations, and he was very busy.

Zhao Tong, on the other hand, called Li Yanxian to study in the military department how to defeat Xixia Iron Kite.

Iron Harriers are heavy armored cavalry, and they are the only heavy cavalry in Song, Liao, Jin, Xixia, Uighur, Dali and other countries today.

But the Iron Harrier is actually different from the normal heavy cavalry. It is more focused on fighting in the mountains and plains, and is a mountain heavy cavalry.

Three thousand riders of the Iron Kites, also known as the Iron Forest, are equipped with both men and horses. Everyone is wearing the famous cold-forged armor, which is said to be "invulnerable to thorns", while the horses are covered all over, even covering their faces and legs.

Moreover, the iron kite uses a hook to tie the man and the horse together, so that even if the enemy is lucky enough to chop the soldier on the horse to death, the man will not fall off the horse, and can still continue to attack, and he will not fall to the ground because of the enemy. Blocking the horse from continuing to advance.

When the two armies are charging against each other, it is difficult to dig traps on the battlefield. In this way, there is only one way to deal with the "Iron Kites", and that is to directly deal with the horses, knock them over, and the "Iron Kites" will be lost. The power.

This seems to be the only weakness of "Iron Kitten". Unfortunately, this weakness was solved by Li Yuanhao in a very simple way.

That is to use Bubazi and Tieyaozi to fight together. Bubazi is also called Hengshan Bubazi. It is mainly composed of Hengshan Dangxiang people. The reason why Hengshan Dangxiang people were chosen is because the Dangxiang people here are fierce and good at fighting. They often rush forward as if they are life-threatening. They have always been the most powerful tribe among all party members, and are unmatched by party members in other areas.

Bubazi can go up and down hillsides and enter and exit streams. He can reach great heights and reach great distances. He is good at walking with light feet and can strike with stabs to cover up attacks. When working together with Tieyaozi, Tieyaozi is in front and Bubazi is behind. They work together in an incomparable tacit understanding.

The Xixia's ace army, if divided according to its military types, is the heavy cavalry iron kite, Hengshan Bubazi, and artillery Poxi army.

As long as Tie Yaozi comes to Huizhou, Bu Bazi will definitely come. Zhao Yu and Li Yanxian discussed how to get rid of Tie Yaozi, but after a few days, they had no clue.

As heavy armored cavalry, they are invincible when charging on the battlefield. It is no exaggeration to say that three thousand heavy cavalry can charge an army formation that is ten times their own without any problem, or even more!
Relying on the iron kite, Xixia defeated the Song army in the Battle of Sanchuankou, the Battle of Haoshuichuan, the Battle of Dingchuanzhai, and the Battle of Yongle City with the Song army. military's geographical advantage.

Even if Tie Yaozi later faced off against the Jin Kingdom's kidnapper Ma Tiefutu, he did not suffer any loss. His only final defeat was to the Tatar Qiuxue Army. Of course, by that time, Tie Yaozi was already in decay, but Qiuxue Army was not. They are the elite among the elite throughout the ages.

Although Zhao Tong is not short of money at the moment, he does not have the energy and manpower to form a team similar to Qie Xue's army, so he can only think of other ideas.

Now that Li Qianshun has revitalized Xixia, and Brother Richard has become a military god, it is difficult to figure out how to defeat the iron kite.
