Chapter 818 Tian Ji Horse Racing
War is a kind of mutual violence, attack, killing and other acts between countries and races, and its appearance is an armed battle between the two hostile sides in order to achieve certain political, economic, and territorial integrity goals.
Zhao Zhen can explain war more simply, even if people use the simplest and most violent methods in order to obtain certain benefits and goals, they have existed since the birth of mankind, and this barbaric behavior will not disappear with the progress of civilization.
As early as the ancient civilization of China, there was a war between the emperor and the holder, and this form has continued until now, and of course it will continue in the future.
War is an act of extreme, and his extreme is manifested in his disregard for human life. Every war arises from the act of initiating the ruler for the benefit of himself or the group, and this act of obtaining benefits is obtained at the cost of life.
Although Zhao Zhen hates war, he has to use the situation of war to achieve his goals, so he never says how sacred and great war is, as long as innocent lives die in vain, what greatness and justice are all fig leaf of hypocrisy.
Therefore, Zhao Zhen never advertised himself as a saint, because in his opinion, he could not reach such a lofty standard, and the ugliness of war was quickly manifested and placed on Zhao Zhen's desk......
Di Qing's tactics were very simple, in the shortest time, at the fastest speed, to kill and injure more party forces, but this kind of raid combat pursued efficiency, and there was no time to distinguish those people from the tribal forces of Western Xia and those people were ordinary people.
Coupled with the policy of all the people in Western Xia, the army of the Great Song Dynasty had no time to distinguish at all, and the easiest way was to smash everyone to death with a hammer! The heavy cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty crossed the border like locusts, bleeding and drifting everywhere they went, and all men over the age of fifteen were killed as long as they were equipped with swords or riding horses and bending bows.
The war had reached an ugly point at this time, even if Zhao Zhen wanted to restrain the army, it was no longer possible, and the army of the Great Song Dynasty was not like this from the beginning, but the most effective way to come up after being constantly harassed and attacked by the enemy.
"Butcher" and "Demon" are all names for the heavy cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty, but such a title has been passed on to the Great Song army, but it has not caused much change, the reason is very simple, the Great Song Dynasty is no longer the original Great Song Dynasty, and the perseverance in the bones of the soldiers is no longer what it used to be.
Some generals even felt that these titles were good, at least proving that the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty had suppressed the Tanguts.
But Di Qing's questions were not these, when Xia Zhu anxiously asked what to do next, Di Qing's answer made him dumbfounded: "Then kill!" ”
Xia Zhu swallowed dryly, and said with panic in his eyes: "It's already like this, how can you continue to kill?" How many people are we going to kill? Everyone has been killed, and if I kill them, what is the use of taking this land even if I take it? ”
Di Qing sneered: "Don't think I don't know, the DPRK has already had a plan to relocate the people, you Wenchen have calculated it, once you take the Hetao, you will move to Guanzhong, and even the people of Lingnan will come!" After all, you're not worried about your reputation? As a prisoner and a civil servant, under your nose, my Great Song army slaughtered so many party members, even if you return to the dynasty, you will not have a good reputation. ”
Xia Zhu's expression changed suddenly, and he looked at Di Qing calmly and said: "I didn't expect that your Di Hanchen has not only increased his ability to lead troops to fight over the years, but also can see the affairs of the court and the central government thoroughly, and the future life is terrifying!" But I want to know why you did it! ”
"Why? Didn't you notice? Since we crossed the Ulan Mulun River, Li Yuanhao's elite has not appeared, and even the rangers and scouts have disappeared, don't you think it's strange? ”
That's right, Xia Zhu suddenly discovered after Di Qing's reminder that until this time, the elite armed forces of Western Xia, the Iron Harrier, the Proton Army, and the Capture Army still did not appear, and the scouts in the army and Tanma did not find the main force of the Western Xia people.
"So the Tangut people have been preserving their strength and are not willing to compete with us? So what is their purpose? Can I still run all the time, but when my army arrives in Xingqing Mansion, Li Yuanhao will never lose his national capital, right? ”
Di Qing's face was not very good-looking, the most unsafe thing on the battlefield was that he didn't know the enemy's intentions at all, obviously he was also blinded by Li Yuanhao's actions, and looked at the map to search again.
Xia Zhu's eyes were about to be turned over by him, even with his intelligence, he didn't think of why Xixia was like this, his eyes wandered on the map, and his eyes swept over the word Sun Tzu in the blank space on the side, which was the remarks he asked his personal soldiers to look for one of the volumes of "Historical Records" "Sun Tzu Wu Qi Lie Biography V".
"Tian Ji Horse Racing!"
Xia Zhu suddenly raised his voice and shouted, startling Di Qing and his own soldiers on the side, but Xia Zhu looked at Di Qing proudly at this time and said: "Haha, the old man understands, you Di Hanchen owes the old man a great favor!" ”
Di Qing frowned and said, "Could it be that Xia Jian Jun knows something?" Don't say it's one, even if it's three, I, Di Qing, should also be you! ”
Xia Zhu shook his head and shook his head and said: "Today, with the king and the other, take the king and the middle, and take the king and the other." After speaking, he glanced at Di Qing, and sure enough, Di Qing suddenly realized: "That's the case, the elite cavalry of the Western Xia people can't get any benefits from my Great Song Heavy Cavalry, so they can't avoid the battle and go to find my Great Song Dynasty's weakness...... Come! The herald ordered the army to move closer to the Southern Route Army, and there must be no mistake in marching day and night! ”
Di Qing's movements were very fast, he had already turned the Eastern Route Army into an efficient killing machine, and as his military orders were handed down, the entire camp boiled, and the tents were quickly put into their backpacks, and the wooden poles used to set up the tents were dismantled and placed on the saddle, taking up no space at all.
Even the Huotou army carried the cauldron and rode on horseback, and the camp that was originally encamped and smoked quickly went to the camp empty, or the wooden fence that was temporarily cut down and the gate to refuse the horse, no one would have thought that there was a Great Song cavalry of more than 10,000 people stationed here just now.
It's easy to break the whole into parts, but it's quite difficult to turn the whole into parts, at this time, Di Qing can't care about the problem of exposure or not exposure, and when night falls, the heralds in the army scatter out, and the fireworks signal rises in the land of Western Xia and succeeds to the throne in the black night sky.
As long as it is a cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty, after seeing the fireworks, they know where to assemble now...... Countless Great Song cavalry gathered at Di Qing's location, this was a trap that Di Qing had set a long time ago and prepared for the main force of Western Xia, but now they had to use it.
