1314. Take the initiative to attack

In the territory of Western Xia, Zhongxing Funan .

Within the Great Wall.

Due to the setbacks of Helian Cheng and Zhongsun Xuanting, they had to lead the army to garrison in the Great Wall to defend the safety of the capital Zhongxingfu.

At the same time, the lieutenant generals of the two major military divisions of Gansu and Xiangqing are also guarding the territory of Xiazhou on the east side of Zhongxing Mansion and Xiping Mansion on the south side of Zhongxing Mansion respectively.

In terms of geography alone, Western Xia is still inferior to the newly established Great Xia.

It was early November. In this Western Xia territory, it is quite cold. Inside and outside the Great Wall, yellow grass is green.

This Great Wall was originally built by the Qin State to defend against the Xiongnu, but I never thought that it would now become the dividing line between Western Xia and Great Xia.

Destroying the country, recovering the country, civil war, and splitting, the Western Xia Kingdom can be described as a bad fate. However, it still seems that the heavens did not want to favor Western Xia.

In the biting cold wind, countless white tents spread all over the south side of the Great Wall.

The ancient city walls are mottled.

I don't know how much blood and tears are spilled on it, even if I look at it now, it still seems to be quite heavy. The mottled bricks on the wall seemed to be the marks left by the blood-soaked past.

Before figuring out where the arms of the White Horse Qiang Town Military Division came from, Helian Cheng and Zhongsun Xuanting both had no confidence to declare war on Great Xia again. But after only this short period of calm, Great Xia suddenly changed his mind for some reason, and actually wanted to take the initiative to start a war with Western Xia.

Nearly 60,000 troops in the military division of Baimaqiang Town did not know when to set off, and by the time Helian Cheng and Zhongsun Xuanting received the report, their army was less than two days away from the Great Wall.

Helian Cheng and Zhongsun Xuan Ting hurriedly passed the news to Zhongxing Mansion.

Li Xiushu immediately issued an order, asking Helian Cheng and Zhongsun Xuanting to block the Great Xia military horses north of the Great Wall. If you can, do your best to destroy these Great Xia troops.

The 80,000 Western Xia forbidden army can't deal with the Great Xia army, which is less than 60,000, no matter how you say it, it should be a victory.

Li Xiushu also had no intention of mobilizing the Gansu Army and the Xiangqing Army to help. After all, it's too late in time.

Two days later.

The Great Xia army, led by Wu Shangyun, rushed to the north of the Great Wall.

Although Great Xia has just been founded, it is in full swing, and the major military divisions have unexpectedly shown signs of merging.

Previously, when Helian Cheng and Zhongsun Xuanting led the army to attack Hengshandu two days ago, although there were five-clawed golden dragon flags in Hengshandu, all the armies were still the original military flags equipped with the military division of Baima Qiangzhen.

And now, only a short time has passed, Wu Shangyun led the army to the north of the Great Wall, but there are a lot of Xiazi military flags in the army.

Then there is the white horse and the martial military flag.

This can undoubtedly show that the military division of Baimaqiang Town is no longer alone, and even the army has been incorporated into the sequence of the Great Xia army.

Helian Cheng and Zhongsun Xuanting were waiting on the south side of the Great Wall, and after learning the news, they were quite dignified.

Zhongsun Xuanting hurriedly ran to Helian City's handsome tent.

As soon as they met, Zhongsun Xuan Ting said: "General Helian, now all the rebels in the Military Division of Baima Qiang Town have all raised the banner of Great Xia!" Don't...... Do they really want Li Youren to sit firmly on the throne and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes? It's just that the strength of the four of them is about the same, who is holding the Son of Heaven hostage, and who is the prince? ”

There was a look of surprise on his face that could not be concealed.

Originally, the four major military divisions promoted Li Youren as the emperor, and everyone felt that this was just an expedient measure for the four major military divisions. Li Youren is just a poor worm who was elected by them and gave them a suitable reason to fight against Li Xiushu. No one thought that the four major military divisions that looked like they were separated could truly "merge".

After all, it is no secret that the major military departments have fought openly and secretly in recent years, and there are so many grievances and hatreds between them that it is impossible to say.

If such forces can still work together, it will be almost the same unless the sun hits the west.

However, now the military division of Baimaqiang Town suddenly changed its flag and used the military flag of Great Xia. This is a sign that it is really going to merge into Great Xia.

Helian Cheng twisted his eyebrows and looked at Zhongsun Xuanting, and said, "I also know about this matter...... General Zhongsun, if Great Xia is really just the four major military divisions, then it will be fine, what I am more worried about now is ...... Raise Li Youren as the emperor, and there are other people who create Great Xia......"

Zhongsun Xuan Ting changed color slightly, "Someone else?" ”

Helian Cheng nodded lightly and said quietly: "Those who provided arms to these rebels ......"

"You mean ......"

Zhongsun Xuanting's face turned a little pale for a moment, "Song Guo? ”

"It's impossible to say for sure."

Helian Cheng shook his head this time, "It is still unknown whether those arms came from the Song State, and the emperor believes in Emperor Song, so General Zhongsun should not say such things again in the future." It's just that no matter who provides those arms to the military division of Baima Qiang Town, the forces that can have so many arms are definitely not comparable to the four major military divisions. You said...... If those forces want to establish Great Xia, and on the condition of providing arms, let the four major military divisions submit...... Isn't it strange that the four major military divisions, who knew that they would not be our opponents, suddenly joined forces with one heart? ”

"You mean ......"

Zhongsun Xuan Ting pondered slightly, "The martial family, the Tuoba family, the Sikong family, and ...... Have they actually surrendered to the one who provided them with arms? ”

Helian Cheng nodded lightly, and said with a solemn face: "If that force is a country like the Song State and the Yuan State, I think the four major military divisions will make such a choice." ”

Zhongsun Xuan Ting lost his voice, "Then aren't we completely passive?" ”

Helian Cheng shook his head again and stopped talking.

If these arms were not provided by the Great Song Dynasty, it would be fine. At least there is a Great Song Dynasty behind the Western Xia, and no one in the Central Plains has to be afraid.

What he was worried about was that these arms were really provided by the Song State, so it would be really difficult for Western Xia to have a chance of winning. To be more precise, it is difficult for them and the empress group to win.

The current situation seems to have returned to the original battle of Lintao, and the position of the Song State is very important.

Whoever the Song Kingdom helps, whoever wins.

At least, that's what Helian City thought in his heart.

It's a pity that until now, there has still been no news from the empress's side. No one knows where the arms in Baimaqiang Town came from.

After a moment of silence, Helian Cheng sighed softly and spoke again: "General Zhongsun, no matter which force behind Great Xia is doing the trick right now, we have no way out. Let's go back and prepare...... No matter what the situation is in the future, we must not fall into the reputation of Helian and Zhongsun, and we must keep the army of the military division of Baima Qiang Town out of the Great Wall. ”

Zhongsun Xuan Ting frowned and nodded lightly, and walked outside.

The army of the military division of Baimaqiang Town and the forbidden army of Western Xia were all on the north and south sides of the Great Wall.

The aura in the air seemed to have become extremely solemn.

Only the next day, the military division of Baimaqiang Town divided nearly 60,000 troops into five routes, marched in unison, and set out from the camp at dawn to march towards the Great Wall.

The distance between the armies was more than ten miles.

Although Helian Cheng and Zhongsun Xuanting had an advantage in military strength, they did not dare to slack off.

Before the army of the military division of Baimaqiang Town reached the Great Wall, the 80,000 Western Xia forbidden troops were all pressed to the Great Wall. The ancient city wall left on the southwest side of Zhongxing Mansion is quite impassable.

On the winding Great Wall, I don't know how many flags are fluttering in the wind, drumming.

The soldiers of the Western Xia Forbidden Army wearing armor or thick cloth stood on the city wall, although it was cold and windy, but they were all full of murderous intent.

I don't know when, the cannon fire suddenly rang out.

Then, along the Great Wall, there was the sound of cannons everywhere.

The grenadiers of the generals of the Western Xia Forbidden Army were all arranged on the Great Wall to meet the soldiers of the White Horse Qiang Town Army who were killing towards the Great Wall.

The gunfire was even more intense.

One by one, the soldiers of the forbidden army lay on the battlements, although the marksmanship was really not very accurate, but they were also clear-sighted.

In fact, such a battle is already quite close to modernization.

Since receiving the arms provided by the Great Song Dynasty, although the soldiers of the Western Xia Forbidden Army still wear swords and guns, etc., it seems that they have been reduced to decorations.

And what made Helian Cheng and Zhongsun Xuanting even more solemn in their hearts was that those soldiers of the White Horse Qiang Town who came to attack also had the Divine Dragon Gun.

Their firearms have also reached a terrible level.
