The Great Song Dynasty army can be said to be marching quickly and proudly, with the support of Di Qing's heavy cavalry, the Southern Route Army is not afraid of anything at all, and the siege of the city is extremely fast, how many of the cities in Western Xia can survive under the artillery of the Great Song Dynasty? In Song Jun's eyes, there is nothing that cannot be solved by one salvo, and if there is, then two rounds......

Many small walled cities in Western Xia hurriedly surrendered after seeing the Great Song army, because they were simply powerless to fight, but the Song army found that in these walled cities, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, there was no Western Xia people who could fight well, not even women and children, obviously this was a method used by Western Xia to delay time, after all, these old, weak, sick and disabled Great Song could not all be killed.

Di Qing killed a lot of Tangut people when he crossed the Ulan Mulun River, often a tribe and a tribe are clear, so that there is no pastoral song everywhere in the grassland, the Tangut people hate him to the bone, and they are also afraid to the bone, and now when they hear that his Chinese cavalry has arrived, they are naturally able to run, and surrender if they can't.

But in fact, Di Qing's heavy cavalry was not with Chong Shiheng's Southern Route Army, but went to the rear to replenish grain and grass, after all, they were all cavalry, and it was inconvenient to carry baggage, so they could only go to the rear to rest and rectify, and then replenish grain and grass to prepare for battle.

And Di Qing's explanation to Chong Shiheng and others was not to be greedy for merit, otherwise the cavalry would not be able to support it, but at this time, the Southern Route Army had already been carried away by the victory, and they were pushing forward vigorously, constantly absorbing the cities of the Western Xia people.

In their opinion, the more cities they capture, the greater the military exploits, and it will all depend on him to return to the dynasty to seal his wife and shadow in the future, only the old commander Shiheng can see it clearly in the Southern Route Army, but even he can't restrain this crazy army, in the eyes of everyone, Western Xia is a big pie, the more the Southern Route Army eats, the more advantage it will have, otherwise it will be robbed of some share by the other two roads.

In the Southern Route Army, even the deputy marshal Lian Zhi Weizhong was blinded by the current situation, in his opinion, the results of the battle should be expanded at this time, and some of the juniors of the generals also mean this, the fact that Shiheng can still be restrained and maintained at the beginning, but the closer to the Xing of Western Xia, the army of Linger Prefecture will be like a wild horse that has escaped.

Needless to say, the speed of the march has become faster, and even the combat method has become a little out of formation, which makes Chong Shiheng very angry, and he punished a lot of generals with military law, which has been reined in, but it has caused a lot of complaints from the people in the generals, this is a battle to destroy the country!

What is the most important thing in the war to destroy the country? Of course, it is to attack Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Western Xia people! That's a lot of credit! Who doesn't want to fight for their Southern Route Army?

At the same time as the army marched, disaster also came, what was the biggest flaw of the Southern Route Army? It was his dependence on logistics, an army of foot soldiers, with a meagre number of horses compared to 100,000, which also led to his lack of mobility.

Although there were scouts scattered to reconnoiter the military situation, when a large number of Liao Dynasty cavalry followed by the butts of these scouts, the Southern Route Army did not have time to prepare at all, and the Western Xia people learned smart this time and did not plan to entangle and fight with the Song army.

The Tangut people just attacked, and after killing thousands of people, they quickly retreated, and the most important thing was to cut off the grain and supplies of the Great Song Dynasty, and for a while the Southern Route Army was tired of coping, but there was no big loss, and it was still able to settle, as long as the army was stable and camped, the Tangut people did not have anything to take advantage of.

The embattled Southern Route Army finally seemed panicked, and at this time they found that the army had penetrated hundreds of miles into Western Xia alone, and basically encountered no decent resistance along the way, and captured many walled cities, which was the main reason why they took it lightly.

At this time, the Tangut people have begun to encircle and suppress the 100,000 people who are lone and deep, this is a battle that has been planned for a long time and has accumulated the anger of the Tangut people, and he has not hidden Pang to mobilize all the troops that can be drawn, Li Yuanhao has given him considerable support, and even the proton army that is not easy to dispatch has been given to him, don't look at the proton army of these 5,000 people, many of whose families have been destroyed by Di Qing, and their hatred for the Song army can be described as monstrous.

The so-called proton army has only 5,000 people, but the number of slaves and personal soldiers in the hands of each of them is far more than these, and the proton army of 5,000 people has more than 30,000 servant troops, they are either powerful slaves, or pro-soldiers with amazing combat power, which is a force to be reckoned with.

In the eyes of Wu Zang Pang, the Southern Route Army of the Southern Route Army of Chong Shiheng was the biggest threat to Western Xia, and any city was as vulnerable as paper paste in front of it, and it must be defeated in order to implement the next plan.

There were 280,000 troops surrounding the Southern Route Army, and the Western Xia had an absolute advantage in numbers, and the Song Army was naturally horrified in the face of so many Western Xia people, which showed that they had unknowingly stepped into the encirclement of the enemy.

In the White Tiger Festival Hall where the South Route Army marched, Chong Shiheng looked at this group of people who were carried away by victory with an ugly face, although he tried his best to restrain it, but the speed of the army was still much faster than before, which was the result of the urging of the leading generals, captains, and even Marquis Yu.

Obviously, at this time, there is no point in blaming these people, or engaging in military law, it will only make the army more turbulent, Chong Shiheng sighed and said: "Ben Shuai doesn't want to blame anyone, because this situation also has the responsibility of the old man, he shouldn't be merciful at the beginning, if he had made a strict order early, there would have been no such thing, all the blame would have been on Ben Shuai, but the next thing should be faced by me and others!" ”

Everyone was moved in their hearts, this is the kind of handsome who bears the responsibility alone, and he will bear it alone when he returns to the official's house in the future.

"How can the fault of everyone be borne by the marshal alone, we are willing to plead guilty with the marshal!"

Chong Shiheng smiled: "Wait for you to ask for the guilt with the old man?" I'm afraid I won't have this blessing! The generals listened to the order, and the commander led the headquarters of 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest of the people listened to the commander's dispatch and led the army to break through! ”

"What?!"

For a while, there was silence in the White Tiger Festival Hall, Chong Shiheng was obviously crazy, how could the commander of the first army let the army withdraw, this is obviously fatal!

Chong Shiheng raised his eyes and looked, even his own soldiers stood still, and for a while, he suddenly drew his sword and cut off the corners of several cases and said: "Who doesn't follow this case!" Ben Shuai personally covered your withdrawal, if you lose an artillery, Ben Shuai will not forgive you even when you go to the Netherworld, the most precious of my 100,000 army is not Ben Shuai, nor Er, but the more than 100 artillery, if there is a loss, Ben Shuai is ashamed of the Son of Heaven, and you are also ashamed of the trust of the official! ”

Chong Shiheng's words pointed to the point, indeed, the Southern Route Army marched all the way, the elite of the forbidden army is of course one aspect, and more importantly, the power of artillery, this kind of monster that besieges the city, no city can resist it, and the power of artillery is terrifying like a blow from the gods.

The official family gave such an important firearms battalion to the Southern Route Army, if it was still captured by the Tangut people, I am afraid that everyone will be stinky for 10,000 years, this is still because of the army's greed for merit, if the Tangut people really seize the artillery...... It's chilling to think about!
