928.Chapter 928 The End of the Official Start of War

Qu Duan didn't last long, when he saw Wang Xiu's letter, he was silent alone for a long time, and when he came out, he became high-spirited and issued a battle order against Xia, and the Song-Xia all-out war was the beginning and the end. 『『【Fengyun Novel Reading Network Baoliny】

The first to launch the offensive was Xie Qian, who led the five armies of the fifth and sixth battalions to start the first battle against Xia.

The flying cavalry and dragoon armies of the fifth battalion are the absolute main force of the Western Cavalry Army, which belongs to the troops of the Guard Horse Military Division, and the cavalry of the two armies is more than 10,000 people, led by Li Yanxian from the security army to the north, crossing the Great Wall Ridge and directly launching an offensive against Hongzhou, and nearly 10,000 forbidden army officials followed up.

The scale of the horse army is not large, in fact, there are only four or five thousand cavalry in each army, accompanied by infantry cavalry riding mules and horses and some infantry troops, which also shows that the Great Song Dynasty lacks excellent war horses, so it can only put up the horse army.

Xu Huiyan of the Sixth Battalion controlled more than 50,000 people from the three armies of Wanjie, Konghe, and Yunjie, and set his own border army to cover the flank of the Fifth Battalion and enter Helan Plains to fight steadily.

The two major battalions are equipped with 30,000 native soldiers from various township armies, following the rear of the fifth battalion to implement battlefield support, and the East Road Army has 100,000 troops, which is quite majestic.

It can also be regarded as the limit of the use of troops in one direction, whether it is the command and coordination of the commander or the logistics support, the attacker cannot have too many soldiers and horses.

Even if there are 100,000 people in the East Road army, the elite who are really used for front-line operations is only 40,000 or 50,000.

There was no direct attack in the middle, Liu Yanliang's Eighth Row Battalion was relatively weak, and only the Yunyi First Army, which belonged to the tens of thousands of township troops, gradually approached Pingqiang City in Sanyuandi, forming a flank threat to Li Renzhong and Li Liangfu.

Wu Jue's Seventh Battalion Shengjie and Guangrui armies stood still, and the Guangrui Army originally belonged to the elite of Hedong, and it was the largest and most well-equipped horse army of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army.

With the gradual depletion of the resources of the Great Song Dynasty war horses, the army continued to compress, and the war horses became fewer and fewer, no longer regaining the grand occasion of the year.

When Xingchao moved south, the army was almost disbanded, and the new military system was changed to set up a special military number, which can be regarded as a horse army. Although it is no longer the glory of 15,000 iron cavalry, there are also 3,000 elite cavalry, plus mules, horses, infantry cavalry, baggage soldiers and other troops, and the whole army also has nearly 10,000 people, but the children of the Han family have been replaced by a mixed formation of Fan and Han.

What makes people the most uneasy is the ninth line battalion, Shao Xing and the commander of the Yunjie army, plus the Fanluo army, there are thirteen battalions of the Fanhan and Ma Army, which is also a powerful group, they have not moved, that is, they have not launched an offensive for the time being.

The Tianwu Army of the front division of the palace is not something that the Western Servant Army can mobilize, Wang Xie is a very arrogant guy, he holds his own identity as the Son of Heaven Guard, and he doesn't bend at all, and looks at the group of soil buns of the Western Servant Army with the superior vision of the front of the palace.

Qu Duan ordered the Tianwu Army to be stationed in the Zhenrong Army, ready to support Wu Jue's Seventh Battalion at any time. However, Wang Xie did not get the command order of the commander of the northwest camp, and he completely excused himself, so that the decisive Qu Duan was deflated, and it was absolutely unimaginable to be placed in the western army, which was an act of death.

Qu Duan is eager to kill Wang Xie, the general of the Western Servant Army, who dares to disobey his military orders, but he is a guest army, and he is a general in front of the palace, and he clearly obeys Gao Ping's general orders, and there is nothing wrong with the command system, he can only stare dryly, and his teeth itch with hatred.

The Tianwu Army itself is very good, as one of the four armies of the forbidden army, the whole army has a total of 23,000 people during the war, two car battalions, and the equipment is first-class and sophisticated.

By the way, the front division of the palace is arrogant, but it is the arch guard in all, which is greatly influenced by the imperial court, and the seventy-two generals were originally from the general school, and gradually started in the front of the palace, Wang Xiu's policy is relatively easy to implement, plus the scale of the front division of the palace, the horse army is relatively small, and the size of the chariot army has increased by one battalion.

Yongxing Army Chang'an County West Servant Army all command the envoy Yamen, the eaves gatehouse, the Zhumen blue plaque, the end is majestic atmosphere, four crimson robes, with slender long curved knives of the soldiers, holding a long lance in their hands, showing that the idlers here do not enter.

A scarlet-clad half-sleeved general, followed by two scarlet-clad flying eagle crescent vest knights, dismounted at the archway in front of the gate.

"Who is coming...... Oh, and please stop. A doorman walked down the steps quickly, but his face changed, he quickened his pace, and his tone became respectful.

As the doorman of the military's senior yamen, his eyesight must definitely be lively, and he must be familiar with the senior generals and colonels of the forbidden army and the emblems of various departments, otherwise there will be a big mess.

The uniform of the forbidden army is still crimson, and the military horn is distinguished from the vest, and the new military system has reformulated the patterns of each army, but the old military horn emblem with inheritance has not changed, but the emblem of the new army has been added.

The general in front of him, who is over thirty years old, is clearly from the six-rank senior general, looking at the vest emblem of the guard, it is the black eagle spreading its wings through the sun and the moon, this is the military attache of the Privy Council, the coquettish son of the coquette, but not an ordinary official can offend.

Not long ago, Wang Xuan, who was in the Military Department of the Privy Council, dared to openly contradict Captain Qu, why did he come to a cardinal counselor again

"There is a report to Captain Qu, and the deputy of the northwest camp of the Pivotal Staff stationed in the front of the palace has joined the army and asked to see Captain Feng Yuanfeng." As he spoke, one of the guards handed over the official note.

"It turned out to be the captain of the seal, and please wait for the captain, and the villain will tell him immediately." Menzi was taken aback, sure enough, it was the Privy Council who joined the military department, and the origin was not small, it turned out to be a famous Fengyuan, and the cardinal staff tried to know the heavy mobilization department, although the full-time deputy of the camp joined the army, but the foundation of the people was there, Wang Xianggong's doorman

Besides, the fact that they joined the army and waited for the system was relatively independent, and their official documents or self-proclaimed posts were all stationed in a certain department, indicating that their appointment was not decided by the commander or the military master.

The one who came was Feng Yuan. Gao Ping joined the army as the deputy capital of the front division of the palace, and was also in charge of the northwest camp, so he did not serve the army in the west at all, and arrived in Shaanxi across the horse, and did not enter Chang'an City at all, and went directly to the Tianwu Army station, and he came to meet Qu Duan.

You must know that Qu Duan and Wang Xuan had a quarrel, and they were rejected by the Tianwu Army, and those who are well-informed know that Qu Duan still wants to be a face-saving handsome.

At this time, the people of the cardinal staff and the front division of the palace, what will be the face of Qu Duan This is not boring Don't you give you a dismount, even if it is lucky, but he still came, and he didn't care about Gao Ping's ulterior motive smile.

While Feng Yuan was waiting patiently, Qu Duan was discussing things with Guo Yan, and his face suddenly sank after listening to Menzi's report.

"Feng Zixuan, Wang Wenshi's favorite general, Gao Ziheng should have arrived." Guo Yan glanced at Qu Duan quite meaningfully, it stands to reason that Feng Yuan will naturally arrive when he arrives in Gaoping, how did he hand over the official name card is Feng Yuan, but he didn't see Gao Ping, which is really interesting
