The Western Xia had already destroyed the country in the Southern Song Dynasty, because Genghis Khan was killed with a poisoned arrow, so the party members were slaughtered.

History has also disappeared with the wind, and now it can only be found from the remnants of the monument and the Song Dynasty and the Xia Guobiography and the Party Item.

As for the drawings of the whirlwind cannon, there are no drawings and detailed records of the firing mechanism, and the origin of the Poxi Army can be regarded as an innovation of the horseback people.

The bows and crossbows of the Song Dynasty were developed, the siege weapons were even more powerful, and there were many styles and types of stone throwers.

And the mobility of the cavalry was beyond the reach of bulky siege weapons.

The combination or compromise of the two created the strong force of the Poxi army, and the whirlwind cannon on the camel was much smaller than the Song Dynasty's Qixiao cannon, not so powerful, and it did not require such superb craftsmanship, which was precisely what the Western Xia lacked.

However, the whirlwind cannon on the camel's back had the mobility and high rate of fire that the weapons of the Great Song Dynasty did not have, and it was almost a perfect combination.

However, due to the high cost of maintenance, the number of Poxi troops was scarce, and because there were no effective sights, they often formed groups to shoot to form a barrage.

Truly unstoppable!

In the face of such an army, Chen Yan was not sure that he would be able to win the battle!

Even if you can win, the price you need to pay will be extremely heavy!

……

The mighty Western Xia army is about to attack, but Chen Yan is worried about the military rations needed by the begging army, and the Western Xia is notoriously vast and sparsely populated.

Relying on the traditional craft of "beating grass valleys" and learning from the Hu people, there is no way to feed tens of thousands of troops.

As for relying on the logistics system of the Dangling Army, it is even more nonsense, the logistics system of the Sweeping Army is already very difficult to maintain the needs of the 6,000 people of the Dangling Army, let alone tens of thousands of begging troops.

It's impossible!

Until Chen Yan caught a glimpse of a black dot on the map.

Folded City!

The border of Song and Xia, the granary of Western Xia!

There are heavy troops stationed there, and according to Chen Yan, the Totar Mountain where it is now located is only 300 miles, which is not far away, and if the army is drawn at full speed, it will be able to pass in five or six days.

Chen Yan stood in front of the map, touching his chin and thinking.

Zhehe City, one of the important cities on the border of Song and Xia, is also more important than Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division, and is located in the Yellow River.

The city is built next to the water, easy to defend and difficult to attack!

Tens of thousands of the main forces of the Western Xia army were stationed to deter the Western Song army and reserve materials for a war that might break out at any time.

As long as the city is taken, the military rations needed by the army will be temporarily available!

……

Fengxiang Mansion, Folding Family Mansion!

Zhe Keqiu sat in the lobby with a face full of disbelief, the black hair on his sideburns turned gray, and his face was full of misery.

"This ...... That's impossible! ”

"Wu'er! Yan quality, Yan Wen...... Woowoo woo ......"

"It's impossible, it's impossible for my army to be defeated."

Standing in front of Zhi Keqiu, he said in a very solemn tone.

"Big brother, you have to be calm, the two nephews really went to ......"

"Ah...... I don't believe it, I don't believe it! ”

Zhe Keqiu shook his head desperately.

"Father, the two elder brothers are really going, you have to hold on!"

Zhi Yancheng took a step forward and grabbed Zhi Keqiu's arm.

"Come on, come on, gather an army for me, I'm going to kill that thief, I'm going to avenge Yanwen and Yanji."

Zhe Keqiu said with red eyes, and the killing intent on his body was almost the slightest bit about to turn into substance.

"Father, no, you can't send troops! Without the imperial court, it is a capital offense to privately transfer the army. ”

Orihiko said earnestly and persuasively.

"Father, the two brothers are gone, and I'm also very sad, but you calm down."

"Fart, how do I mobilize the army, when will it be the turn of the imperial court to decide?!"

Zhe Keqiu's face is unusually ugly.

"Big brother, I heard that the imperial court has lost the battle in the north, and the fight is very difficult, you can't make a mistake at this time and be caught."

The fold is feasible, and the face is also unusually dignified.

"Indeed, big brother, the old thief of the family seems to have suffered a big loss, you must stabilize it."

Zhe Keshi also said.

"Then what should I do, won't the revenge between Yanwen and Yanzhi be avenged?!"

Zhe Keqiu said with red eyes, staring at a few people around him.

"Think about it in the long run, big brother must think in the long run."

"We can first write to the court and ask for troops to fight the thieves, and at the same time mobilize a large army to sit down and prepare for the battle."

"Strictly crack down on smuggling, how many people and resources are there in the states occupied by the traitors, and if we crack down on smuggling, we can trap them to death in that one-third of an acre of land."

Fold the feasible opening suggested.

"Okay, let's do it."

Zhe Keqiu nodded vigorously, but his eyes were blood-red, his fists were clenched, and his anger could be seen churning.

Just when the west of the Great Song Dynasty was playing lively, the north was also in full swing.

……

In the fourth year of Xuanhe (1122), the Jin people attacked Liao with the Song Dynasty.

In April, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty ordered Tong Guan to patrol the border with 100,000 troops from Hedong Xuanfu in Hebei. At the same time, the Baojing Army was appointed as the commander of the Wutai Army, Wang Yu, the envoy of Chengxuan, and Yang Keshi, the observer of Huazhou, as his deputy.

On 9 May, Huizong appointed Cai You as the deputy envoy of Xuanfu in Hedong, Hebei, and the emperor made him supervise Tong Guan, entrusting him with all civil affairs, and did not allow him to intervene in the military and lead the army with Tong Guan. Leading the army with Tong Guan is actually acting as a supervisor of the army.

This Cai Yu has always been lustful, and he was tempered by Tong Guan, and in the ecstasy soup arranged by Tong Guan for him, he stayed in the Daimyo's Mansion and stopped taking a step forward.

At that time, under the pursuit of the Jin people, Emperor Tianzuo of Liao had fled into Jiashan, and Yeluchun was proclaimed Emperor Tianxi, known as Northern Liao in history, supporting the endgame.

Tong Guan suppressed Fang La, and was full of ambition, thinking that as long as the Song army went on a northern expedition, Yeluchun would look at the wind and surrender, and Youyan's hometown would be able to enter the king's map.

In the middle of February of the fourth year of Xuanhe, the former army has been sent, in early March, before the army went out, the divination was auspicious, but the "Northern Expedition Documentary" carried the so-called flag down, meteors, white rainbows and other omen when the division was released, and there was Xuanwu was born, and the snakes and turtles and beasts were all dead.

Tong Guan arrived at Gaoyang Pass on April 23, and saw that Heshuo had not known anything for a hundred years, the garrison was arrogant and lazy, and preparations for war were lax, and even the Tangbo defense line built to stop the cavalry of the Liao Dynasty had dried up and the embankment was destroyed.

So he gave Huizong a note:

The ministers obeyed the wise training, paid the north affairs, and tried their best to worry about it, and they were afraid that they would not be able to catch it, and they would live up to the weight of the commission. Yesterday in the first month, the Jurchen went down to Zhongjing, and Yu Jian (Yelu wanted to see) to the clouds: "When the Khitan divided the forces of the Jurchens, I took the opportunity to march into the army and recover the power of the province. ”

The ministers came to the north under the edict, and on the starry night, they arrived at Gaoyang Pass on April 23 to prepare for the march. It was seen that the generals of Heshuo were arrogant and lazy, and did not train the enemy army, so they had no use. For example, although the military rations are said: Seeing that they are too coarse to eat, they must spin and spin only half of them. More in the distance, will lose the effort.

The armament is very poor, although it is in Taiyuan, Daimyo, and Kaide, the sealing Chun is insufficient, or not applicable, and the equipment for the construction of the land and the things for the city to defend are all unprepared.

Gai Heshuo has not tried to talk about the army for 200 years, and once he is in a hurry, it is quite difficult to blame. The minister heard that the soldiers and civilians of Yizhou stretched their necks and led troops to sacrifice the fortress. In the future, the western soldiers did not dare to respond, causing them to recover......
