The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, which was the main dynamic of the war, but in order to paralyze the enemy, the Great Song Dynasty did not transport the grain and grass first, and once this was done, it was very likely that the Western Xia people would detect the strategic intentions of the Great Song Dynasty.

But grain and grass is the driving force of the army, if an army does not have the support of grain and grass, it is basically a waste, and Taizong's Northern Expedition was also because of the problem of grain and grass and there were many mistakes that should not have occurred.

After the army arrived at the designated place, it began to wait for the grain and grass, once the grain and grass arrived, the Great Song Dynasty could launch an attack on the Western Xia, of course, it was also related to the situation of the Western Xia, the army's attack also had to search for fighters, which required an excellent general, only in this way could the fleeting precious fighters be captured.

Di Qing was temporarily crowned as a hussar general who was not easily sealed, and was in charge of the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, although it was said that he could only mobilize the 300,000 troops who went out to fight, but even this was Zhao Zhen's great trust in Di Qing.

This 300,000 army is Zhao Zhen's hard work, is the backbone of the Great Song Dynasty, used for the Northern Expedition to the Liao Dynasty is enough, and now used to conquer the Western Xia, that is, the lion fights the rabbit and still does his best, Di Qing sits in the North Route Army stationed in the Ulan Mulun River, this North Route Army is the most elite of the 300,000 army of the Great Song Dynasty.

At the same time, it is also the most mobile troops, there is not a single foot soldier in the whole army, all of them are composed of cavalry, these cavalry are not ordinary soldiers who use horses to walk, but cavalry in the real sense, 50,000 back troops, 50,000 white troops, so that the 100,000 cavalry troops move quickly.

Di Qing as the main general intends to take the lead, leading the army to personally attack the Tanguts, their main role is not to attack the city, but to move to strangle, 100,000 heavy cavalry troops after entering the Tangut will be dispersed into many units, with 5,000 people as a team, in the land of the Tangut began to strangle all visible armed forces.

This is Di Qing's surprise attack plan, but also Di Qing's strategy to feed the war with war, these 100,000 people with cloth bags on their backs are enough for them to eat fried noodles for half a month, and not necessarily used, because of the war to feed the war, and because of the unique nomadic life of the grassland in Western Xia, the Great Song cavalry attacked the armed forces of the Western Xia tribes very successfully, and after exterminating the local armed forces and resistance forces, they will plunder a large number of supplies.

For the first time, the hoplite cavalry of the Song people galloped across the lands of Western Xia and showed their fierceness.

The horse lance has obvious armor-piercing edges, and the best lance will also be the same as the sword, with eight sides, ordinary fish-scale chain mail, iron circle armor, and even the best Mingguang armor, under the armor-piercing lance, it can be broken with one blow.

This is the cavalry weapon of the Central Plains Dynasty, it is the natural king, it is the essence of the precipitation in the history of the nomads for nearly a thousand years, the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty is dressed in plate armor, like a fortress to move on the grassland, after the enemy quickly put down the armor on the head, which reveals a pair of calm eyes staring at the target.

The excellent war horses from the Great Food increased their speed under the instigation of the knights, and the cavalry of thousands of people rushed towards the enemy like a rainbow.

The rumbling sound of the horse's hooves can break the will of the enemy, and the armor-piercing lance quickly pierces the enemy's body, and immediately the knight clamps the lance, and the lingering knot on the lance is against the lifeless body, and the slightest force will be thrown out, and the lance can attack again.

The heavy cavalry always felt like despair, the Communists were no match for them even if they fled, and the Abbasid horses, who were good at long-distance running, would often catch up with the enemy in the later stages, and the back exposed to the pursuers was often fatal.

The ratchet crossbow, which can be used with one hand on a horse, mercilessly harvests the lives of the enemy, which is the standard configuration of the heavy cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty.

At the same time as Di Qing launched an attack, he used flying pigeons to deliver the news to the other two armies, and asked people to pass the news to the Qingtang coalition army, letting them know that the Great Song Dynasty had already made a move against Western Xia and that it was time to attack.

Compared with Di Qing's front army, the other two armies are much more steady, they received Di Qing's strategic deployment, the Western Route Army set out from Xining Prefecture in the Great Song Dynasty, attacking Xiliang Mansion in Western Xia, their main purpose is to cut off the support of the Gansu Military Division of Xuanhua Mansion in Western Xia to Xingqing Mansion, and further reduce the pressure on Di Qing and the Southern Route Army.

At the same time, it is necessary to cooperate with the Qingtang coalition army to the Guazhou of Western Xia, and the sandbar has been encircled and suppressed in Suzhou, where there is another military division with good combat power in Western Xia, the Xiping Military Division.

Different from previous wars, the war of the Great Song Dynasty against the Western Xia was to kill and injure the enemy's armed forces to the greatest extent, which was an almost inhumane strategy, and the previous Chinese wars often seized land and cities, forcing the enemy to have no assistance so as to slowly encircle and make the enemy surrender, and rarely took the initiative to attack the enemy, mainly attacking with the killing and wounding of living forces.

But this tactic has a very terrible horror effect, the court of Western Xia, Emperor Li Yuanhao will continue to receive the number of deaths, and the soaring number of war deaths will make Western Xia fall into panic and turmoil.

The attack of the Southern Route Army was much more stable, and the 100,000 people were based on Yanzhou and Hongzhou, constantly marching towards Xingqing Mansion, and the task along the way was also the most arduous, attacking the city and pulling out the village!

But this army had something that the other two armies did not have, the firearms battalion.

This is a force that has never shown its face in the Great Song Dynasty from beginning to end, and it is also a force hidden by Zhao Zhen, and their main task is to use firearms on the battlefield to destroy the enemy and attack the city.

The most brutal and painful warfare for cavalry and foot soldiers was siege warfare, in which the attackers often had to spend more lives to land for their goals, but the Southern Route Army, which had the help of firearms battalions, was different.

But when the heavy carriages opened the carriages, the officers and men of the Southern Route Army almost let out exclamatory cheers, the black holes of the artillery were erected, the horses were moved, and the four walls of the carriages were removed, leaving only two wheels to move as the base of the artillery.

What kind of shocking scene is the firing of more than 100 artillery pieces? But after the Great Song Firearms Battalion lit the artillery, even the Song people themselves were stunned for a while, what is the earth shaking the mountains, what is the mountains and rivers changing color, what is the heavenly pillar toppling, and what is the Qiankun hanging upside down!

With the roar of artillery, the battlefield suddenly fell silent, and both the long-awaited Song people and the Xixia people who shouted and cheered themselves up fell into a deathly silence.

The city has become unrecognizable, the city walls have collapsed and turned into powder, the Song army even saw the ruins of the buildings in the city, there is no need to fight on the battlefield of this matter, after the silence is a group of party members who tried their best to walk out of the city, everyone holding their heads and roaring, and the seven orifices flowed bright red blood.

This is the war of the Great Song Dynasty......
