In all the saltworks and mines that were breached, almost all the slaves took up arms, shouted slogans of revenge, and fought against the Tanguts.

With the replenishment of the beggar army, the problem of insufficient numbers of the captive army has finally been solved, and the strength has increased greatly!

As for the logistical problem, Chen Yan is not worried, they are still in the territory of the Western Xia Kingdom, so they can eat the enemy.

The city was breached by them, the Tangut people were massacred by this beggar army, and the farm tribes in the countryside were also broken one by one, harvesting a large number of cattle, sheep and horses.

However, because Chen Yan did not deliberately standardize the military discipline of the begging army, the military discipline of the beggar army was sparse, and after the city and tribe were breached, massacres and looting occurred from time to time.

Like other armies of this era, enough wildness was maintained.

In the following period, the Danglu army and the beggar army ravaged the Western Xia border, breaking through many mines and salt works, and the size of the beggar army continued to expand, reaching tens of thousands.

Chen Yan also began to beg for the army

Only the Swingers still maintain their purity!

The follow-up support from Anping City also arrived one after another, with dozens of muskets, several cannons, dozens of horse-drawn wagons of earth-shattering thunder, and a large number of cannons and guns.

The number of recruits was also replenished by more than 2,000 people, and the size of the Dang Capture Army was expanded to 6,000, that is, the strength of almost a full battalion.

Absolutely powerful in combat!

With these 6,000 people, Chen Yan is confident that he will fight in the field with tens of thousands of elite Western Xia troops, even if Western Xia sends 3,000 iron harriers, Chen Yan has the ability to swallow those 3,000 iron harriers in one bite.

With 6,000 captives as the main force and tens of thousands of beggars as the auxiliary, Chen Yan's eyes have already been aimed at Xingqing Mansion, the royal city of Western Xia!

But then Chen Yan shook his head and secretly scolded himself for being too bold.

If it is so easy to break through the capital of the Western Xia Dynasty, the first thing he needs to solve is the food problem of the tens of thousands of troops under his command.

Originally, when there were only more than 10,000 people, they could barely maintain by "fighting grass valleys" and plundering some Western Xia tribes, but when the number of troops reached the scale of tens of thousands.

This way of beating grass valley will not work!

It's not that he can't do it, or that Chen Yan's conscience found that he didn't want to harm those Tangut people, but even if he scraped off the bone marrow of those Tangut tribes, it was not enough for so many people under Chen Yan to eat.

You must know that Chen Yan's initial plan was just to grab the salt works of Western Xia, but he was not prepared to fight deep into the hinterland of Western Xia, and he did not expect that the army under his command would expand so quickly.

Although the beggar army is just an army like a homeless people, the organization is scattered, the military discipline is sloppy, and most of the weapons are the weapons of the Western Xia army, and there are even many with hoes and sickles.

But it can be regarded as an army, it still has combat effectiveness, as long as the Dang Captivity Army can block the first wave of the offensive of the Western Xia Army and enter the stage of strategic stalemate, the existence of the beggar army will come in handy.

Although you can't fight a tough battle, a bloody battle, a headwind battle!

But in a good fight, the beggar army can still fight, especially when chasing and killing the enemy army, the beggar army is more ferocious than the captive army.

So, Chen Yan is worried, where does the military rations come from?!

……

The royal city of Xixia, on the palace hall!

Li Qianshun, the king of Western Xia, was furious, and his face was extremely gloomy.

"Say, what the hell is going on?"

"Why did Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division lose it, aren't there six thousand troops stationed there? What's going on with those salt farms, how have they lost news. ”

"Did the Song army attack my Great Xia?"

Several famous generals of Western Xia in the main hall, the ministers all bowed their heads and did not say a word.

Li Qianshun was angry, they didn't dare to bump into Li Qianshun's muzzle, otherwise even if they were collapsed by Li Qianshun, they would have nothing to say.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, there's news from the Xiaolinghe Salt Farm! ”

Suddenly, an attendant ran in from outside the main hall, kneeling in front of Li Qianshun panting and said.

"Say, what's the news?"

Li Qianshun frowned and said, and the waiter replied hurriedly.

"The Xiaolinghe Salt Farm was raided, the enemy's banner was the Dang Army, the Salt Farm was gone, and all the people in the Salt Farm died in the king's affairs!"

The little waiter's forehead touched the ground, his voice trembled, and he didn't dare to look at Li Qianshun.

"Damn! Someone! ”

Li Qianshun shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, we are guilty, we are afraid!"

Many famous generals and high-ranking officials of Western Xia knelt in front of Li Qianshun, kowtowed very panickedly, and said.

"Mobilize the army of Wangcheng for me, transfer back the army on the border of Xia Liao, Zheng wants to personally conquer, and kill all those lowly Han people."

Li Qianshun was furious to the extreme, he knew who had invaded Western Xia.

It turned out to be the traitor of the Song Kingdom who dared to rob him of his New Year's coin, and he sent a large army to teach him a lesson, and he even dared to retaliate?!

Dare to invade the territory of Western Xia?!

Is he trying to rebel?!

The Western Xia army began to move, but Li Qianshun was hindered by his civil and military forces of the Western Xia Manchu Dynasty and was not able to succeed in his own conquest.

It can only be from the Song Xia, Song Liao border to mobilize the army, and then together with the Wangcheng army, a total of 100,000 troops, handed over to the Western Xia clan general Li Cha Geha to lead, by the general Ren Dejing, Ye Li Rongge as the deputy marshal.

Among them, there are 1,000 Poxi troops, 2,000 iron harriers, more than 5,000 foot soldiers, plus ordinary Western Xia cavalry, a total of 100,000 foot soldiers!

Mighty towards Chen Yan's army, the beggar army to kill!

The Posité, or camel soldiers, were salvo troops like the cavalry, but they rode camels.

The Western Xia is located in the northwest, and the main ruling area is in the present-day Gansu region, which is also the main production area of Bactrian camels in China

And the Poxi Army is a strong force on camelback.

Although there were not many of them, the small stone throwers that the Tanguts loaded on the backs of their camels, the Whirlwind Cannons, made all their enemies feel terrified.

"Longitudinal stones are like fists" is the annotation of the Song Dynasty to the Poxi army.

Tall, stocky camels, carrying torsion stone throwers on their backs, shot fist-sized stones out of their saddlebags.

In front of them, whether it was the forbidden army in heavy infantry armor, or the general with the shining armor on his chest, or the village soldier who was just seeking a little solace in the soldier's sewn clothes.

There was no difference between the speeding bullets and stones, and countless Han athletes died under the rocks.

In front of the whirlwind cannon, people are like a drum that is no longer strong, and a dull blow can overtake a wisp of the dead.

Whether it was the Xiongnu 800 years ago, or the Yellow/Woe Mongolia that swept Europe 200 years later. In front of the Poxi army, they all lack the strength to still deter their hearts from the fragments of written records.

A bow, no matter how strong it is, is only two holes in one arrow, in front of a whirlwind cannon that can shatter people, it is like an old and weak old man standing side by side with a fierce butcher.

Although the beauty and elegance of the bow are far superior to the violent and bloody of the catapult. But I have to admit that the Poxi Army is the strongest cavalry in the era of cold weapons.

The stone projectiles they fire carry strange energy, and can shatter all obstacles in the sound of howling wind. Whether it is leather armor, ring armor, plate armor, or body armor, they all turned into flying ashes under the dense rain of stone bullets of the Pop Xi Army.
