In Jiao Guluo's view, Qingtang has 500,000 string controllers, and he can already compete with the Great Song Dynasty.

Qingtang's 500,000 people who control the strings are not the kind of Black Khan soldiers in the Black Khan Dynasty who can't fight without horseback.

The 500,000 people in Qingtang are real elite soldiers.

Each one is picked out one in a hundred.

Immediately off the horse, all of them are elite soldiers.

In addition, through the technical support of the Great Song Dynasty, Qingtang also forged a number of very sophisticated armor.

Elite soldiers are equipped with sophisticated armor, and their combat effectiveness increases exponentially.

Jiao Guluo felt that in terms of individual combat ability, Qingtang's string control was definitely not weaker than the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty.

At present, the biggest gap between the two armies is firearms.

"Without the help of firearms, we will suffer heavy losses against the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty."

After laughing, Kakuro groaned.

At the mention of firearms, the smiles on the faces of An Ziluo and Mr. Wan gradually converged.

Mr. Wan said in a deep voice: "In recent years, we have obtained a lot of firearms from the Great Song Dynasty, and we have also sent craftsmen to disassemble and imitate them, but the firearms we imitate have always been a little different from the firearms of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

An Ziluo frowned and said, "The ones we imitated are not firearms. ”

When Jiao Guluo and Mr. Wan heard this, they sighed together.

After Qingtang got the firearms of the Great Song Dynasty, he spent a huge price and imitated them.

He is only able to imitate the form of a firearm, but he cannot imitate the god of a firearm.

Their imitation firearms are unusable and explode as soon as they are used.

The firearms of the Great Song Dynasty rarely exploded, unless they had been used for a long time and something went wrong.

Mr. Wan pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe when Kou Ji created the firearm, he knew that the firearm was a weapon of war, so he arranged many means to prevent imitation in advance.

If we want to really make firearms, I am afraid that we still need to get real firearms forging skills from the Song people. ”

Jiao Guluo said in a deep voice: "The matter of making firearms, put it aside for the time being, and when we have the opportunity to get the real firearms forging skills from the Song people, we will make firearms."

Without the help of firearms, my Qingtang soldiers will face the Great Song Forbidden Army, and they will certainly suffer heavy losses.

But if you want to rip meat from Da Song, how can there be a reason not to pay the price. ”

Mr. Wan nodded and said, "With Black Khan and the Liao State to contain the Great Song Dynasty, even if we have to pay the price, it will not be too high." ”

Jiao Guluo nodded and sighed: "If it weren't for the Black Khan and the Liao State to contain the Great Song Dynasty, I wouldn't dare to do anything to the Great Song Dynasty." ”

How strong the Great Song is, Hei Khan doesn't understand, and the Liao State also knows a little about it.

Qingtang knew it clearly.

After the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were equipped with firearms, it is not an exaggeration to call them the strongest among the nations.

If it weren't for the Black Khan Dynasty and the Liao State to attack the Great Song Dynasty together, forming a momentum of east-west attack, Jiaoguo Luo would definitely force the little ambition in his heart and obediently serve the Zhao Guanjia as a submissive citizen.

"After Kou Ji left, the whole country prepared for war."

After Jiao Guluo sighed, he said in a heavy voice: "If this battle is won, the land of the world will be allowed by my Qingtang." If this battle is lost, General An will take my eldest son all the way to the west, go to the Black Khan Dynasty to attack the city and plunder the land, and open another foundation for my Qingtang.

I will live and die with Qingtang City. ”

An Ziluo saluted with a solemn face.

When Jiao Guluo, Mr. Wan, and An Ziluo were discussing in secret, Kou Ji had already arrived at the accommodation arranged for him by Jiao Guluo under the guidance of Qingtang's chamberlain.

A dome-shaped dormitory, very clean inside, and there are no people.

When Kou Ji arrived, all the guards at the entrance of the dormitory withdrew.

Koji's men took over the guards of the palace.

Kou Ji stepped into the dormitory, found the bed, and lay down.

Staring at the circular dome for a while, the corners of Kou Ji's mouth hooked up a smile, "Jiao Guluo is a good calculation......

Kou Ji only said half a sentence, then said no more, lay on the bed and slowly fell asleep.

I slept until dawn.

Kou Ji led the people to the palace where Kakuro was located and bid farewell to Kakuro.

The purpose of the trip has been achieved.

Kou Ji was too lazy to continue to be false and wrongful with Jiaoluo.

Jiao Guluo is probably not willing to let him continue to stay in Qingtang City for longer.

So Kou Ji didn't want to stay and annoy.

Knowing that Kou Ji was leaving, Jiao Luo pulled Kou Ji and said a lot of polite words, and then sent a team of soldiers and horses to escort Kou Ji out of Qingtang.

Kou Ji came out of Qingtang and rushed all the way to Hexi.

On the way to Hexi in Koji.

The Black Khan kings, Yu Sufu and Xiao Pi, are leading heavy troops to storm Guazhou.

A few days.

The Black Khan king Yusufu sent the Black Khan soldiers to launch several wars across the river, all of which ended in failure.

Under the cover of artillery and muskets, it was difficult for the Black Khan soldiers to rush to the other side of the river.

Even if you rush to the other side of the river with great effort, you will be blown away by the minefields scattered on the other side of the river.

It took several days, but he couldn't cross the river, and the cattle and sheep driven by the soldiers in the army were almost exhausted, and the black Khan king Yusufu finally couldn't deal with the war in Guazhou calmly.

Black Khan King's Tent.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu had a gloomy face, thinking about how to cross the river.

After Xiao Pidi gave a sigh, he stepped into the Black Khan King's tent.

Seeing where the Black Khan King Yu Sufu was sitting with a gloomy face.

Xiao Pidi Shi Li said: "The Khan King is having a headache about crossing the river? ”

Black Khan King Yu Sufu glanced at Xiao Pidi, "Knowingly ask......

The tone of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu was a little unfriendly.

Xiao Pidi didn't care.

Xiao Pi said to the Black Khan King Yu Sufu: "Why don't you send out another army of soldiers and horses to bypass from the north of Guazhou." ”

"No way!"

Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu refused without even thinking about it.

To the north of Guazhou is a vast desert with no end in sight.

How big that desert is, the Black Khan King Yu Sufu knows in his heart.

Not to mention sending out a single army and horses, even if he brought all the soldiers and horses over, it would only fill a corner of the desert.

If the cavalry enters it, if it gets lost, nine out of ten will die in the desert.

Seeing that the Black Khan King Yu Sufu decisively rejected his proposal, Xiao Pidi knew that the Black Khan King Yu Sufu would never let his soldiers and horses go to the desert to risk their lives.

Xiao Pidi pondered for a while and said, "But if the Khan King does not divide his troops, I am afraid that the soldiers in the army will have nothing to eat." ”

Black Khan King Yu Sufu's brows furrowed.

What Xiao Pidi could see, how could he not see it.

Not only did he know that the soldiers in the army were running out of food, but he also knew what would become of the soldiers in the army if they had nothing to eat.

But even so, the Black Khan King Yu Sufu was still unwilling to let the soldiers in the army go to the desert to take risks.

"Then at all costs, invade Guazhou."

Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu said this in a heavy voice, and he stared straight at Xiao Pidi and said, "Didn't you say that the Song people are very rich, and they have endless food in their hands?" ”

"At all costs?"

Xiao Pidi raised his eyebrows.

The Black Khan King Yusufu asked, "If Ben Khan is willing to do whatever it takes, will he be able to cross the river?" ”

Xiao Pidi said in a deep voice: "If the king of Khan can do whatever it takes, there is a way for the foreign ministers to cross the river." ”

The Black Khan King stared at Xiao Pi and said in a deep voice, "Say! ”

Xiao Pidi gritted his teeth and said: "Press hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses together and cross the river from all over the place." The number of soldiers and horses under our command is far more than ten times larger than the number of soldiers and horses of the Song army.

If they crossed the river together, the Song army would naturally not be able to stop them. ”

The Zhenxi Army was limited in number.

If the Black Khan soldiers only crossed the river from one place, they would have been able to stop them.

But if the Black Khan soldiers swarmed across the river from all over the place, the Zhenxi army could only stop a small part of them.

"Then press all the soldiers and horses together!"

Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu said decisively.

In fact, the Black Khan King Yu Sufu also thought about pressing all the soldiers and horses together.

The reason why he did not press all the soldiers and horses for a long time was that he was worried that the Song soldiers would still have ambushes elsewhere on the other side of the river.

After all, the Song soldiers on the other side of the river who were currently staring at their Black Khan soldiers were only 10,000.

There were also 40,000 Song soldiers who did not show their heads from beginning to end.

When the cavalry crossed the river, it was easy to become a target.

On the opposite side there were very sharp firearms, which, once spread out on the other side of the river, formed a net.

The cavalry is no different from sending them to death.

The reason why the Black Khan King Yu Sufu is staring at one place is to gnaw one place with a very small force.

Then send a large army to quickly cross the river along this place.

It's just that now, he can't tear this place apart, so he has to send all the soldiers and horses to press it together.

The order of the Black Khan King Yusufu soon reached the ears of all the Black Khan soldiers.

Hundreds of thousands of Black Khan soldiers pressed to the river together.

Across the river.

Standing on a high ground, Chong Shiheng saw hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses pressing up together, and grinned, "After tossing for so long, I still have to take this step in the end." ”

"Pass the order down, let the officers and soldiers of the Zhenxi Army in other places be on alert and prepare to meet the enemy."

“……”

As Chong Shiheng's order was conveyed, the officers and soldiers of the Zhenxi Army, who were hiding two or three miles away from the riverbank, as well as the local soldiers in Hexi, quietly touched the shore.

More than 60,000 soldiers quietly touched the bank of the river, and did not show their heads, quietly waiting for the black sweat soldiers to cross the river.

"Woo woo woo ......"

A heavy horn sounded.

Hundreds of thousands of Black Khan soldiers, divided into hundreds of units, crossed the river from hundreds of places on the surface of the river.

The sound of gunfire rang out quickly as the Black Khan soldiers crossed the river.

The Black Khan soldiers, who crossed the river along the original road, were severely attacked by the Zhenxi army.

The Black Khan soldiers who crossed the river in other places did not encounter gun damage.

Halfway across the river.

Suddenly, from the opposite riverbank, a dense crowd of Song soldiers appeared.

They suddenly appeared on the bank of the river, startling the Black Khan soldiers who crossed the river.

"Hey, hey, hey...... I'm waiting for you guys for a few days......"

"...... on the guy"

“……”

The number of muskets and artillery in the Zhenxi Army was limited, and not every soldier had it.

Those local soldiers who came to assist in the battle did not even touch firearms.

But this did not prevent them from preventing the Black Khan soldiers from crossing the river.

Bows, bed crossbows, heavy crossbows, catapults, tigers, fire crossbows, meteor arrows, and other instruments were all carried by them to the bank of the river in one go.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Accompanied by the beating of war drums.

Arrows, ballistas, boulders, and arrows with fire tails shot densely at the Black Khan soldiers on the river.

The Black Khan soldier fell into the water like dumplings.

Blood flowers bloom in the water.

The river gradually turned red.

When the Black Khan King Yu Sufu saw nearly 10,000 Black Khan soldiers shot in the water by the Song Army as soon as he saw them, he subconsciously clenched his fists.

"I knew that...... I knew ......"

Gritted his teeth and muttered two sentences.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu roared angrily: "Retreat! ”

When Xiao Pidi heard this, his face changed, "King Khan, although the enemy is full of arrows, as long as we resist the pressure, we will definitely be able to rush over." Our forces far outnumbered the enemy.

The enemy can't be killed. ”

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu glared and shouted: "It's not your soldiers and horses, you don't feel distressed!" ”

Xiao Pidi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

The Black Khan King Yusufu realized that he had lost his temper, and took a deep breath and said, "All the soldiers and horses under my command are cavalry. In the face of the dense arrow array of the Song soldiers, they couldn't resist it at all.

I remember you had a shield in your hand, and when it came time for the second charge, let them take the lead. ”

After Xiao Pidi heard the words of the Black Khan King Yu Sufu, he finally understood why the Black Khan King Yu Sufu decisively ordered the retreat after seeing the Song soldiers ambushing the opposite side.

It's a matter of thinking about the shield soldiers he carried.

To be precise, he was forcing him to help.

Xiao Pidi frowned and did not speak.

The shield soldiers he brought with him were not only shield soldiers, but also a group of craftsmen.

The purpose of their existence is to forge siege equipment.

The Song and Liao countries fought fiercely for many years.

Xiao Pidi knew very well that the best thing for the soldiers and horses of the Song State was defensive warfare.

If there were no craftsmen forging siege equipment, they would only be discouraged in the face of the heavily guarded city of the Song soldiers.

You can't expect a bunch of cavalry to attack the city on horseback, can you?

"King Khan, the shield soldiers under the foreign ministers are of great use!"

Xiao Pidi said in a deep voice.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu snorted coldly and said, "You can't cross the river, even if your shield soldiers are of great use, what is the use?" ”

Xiao Pidi was a little speechless.

After a long time, Xiao Pidi said frankly, "The Song army is the best at defending the city, and the shield soldiers brought by the foreign ministers are the craftsmen who forge siege equipment." ”

Black Khan King Yu Sufu frowned and said, "Craftsman? It can't be that you are unwilling to send troops, and you deliberately say prevarication, right? ”

Xiao Pidi said in a deep voice: "King Khan can verify them one or two. ”

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu felt that Xiao Pidi didn't seem to be telling a lie, so he immediately pondered for a moment, "Then let them hand over their shields and hand them over to Ben Khan's soldiers and horses." ”

Xiao Pidi nodded decisively and agreed.

Immediately.

The Black Khan soldiers retreated to the bank of the river, and the Song soldiers on the other side of the river also stopped attacking.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu instructed Xiao Pidi to collect the shields in the hands of the Liao soldiers and distribute them to the Black Khan soldiers under his command.

Then he ordered the Black Khan soldiers with shields in front and the other Black Khans in the back, and continued to cross the river.

In order to cross the great river at once.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu personally led the 700 horses under his account to supervise the battle.

The Black Khan soldiers began to cross the river again.

The Black Khan soldiers who rushed to the front, with shields as protection, barely withstood the dense arrows of the Song soldiers on the other side of the river.

Seeing this, Chong Shiheng ordered all the catapults to start throwing grenades tied into bundles.

Rounds of dense grenade bundles were thrown in the river.

Fountains rose in the river.

The water from the fountain was still rushing at the corpses of the Black Khan.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu was determined to cross the river, so he turned a deaf ear to those casualties.

His eyes were fixed on the Black Khan soldiers who crossed the river from all over the place with shields.

With shields to help, the Black Khan soldiers don't have to fear the threat of arrows.

Aside from the place where the artillery and muskets were furnished, the only places where catapults and heavy and bed crossbows threatened the lives of the Black Khans with shields.

When the first Black Khan soldier stepped on the other side of the river with his shield in hand.

Black Khan Wang Yu Sufu and Chong Shiheng were both in their hearts for a while.

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu shouted almost without hesitation: "Everyone cross the river at full speed and crush the Song army for Ben Khan!" ”

The Black Khan soldiers rushed even more violently to the other side of the river.

Chong Shiheng looked at the black sweat soldiers who crossed the river, and sighed slightly, "The gap in strength is too big, and there are not enough mine artillery, so it is impossible to put all the mine cannons on the river bank."

Otherwise, this Lehe River is the burial place of all the Black Khan soldiers. ”

"After leaving 5,000 troops to break down, the others will retreat."

Chong Shiheng once again ordered the troops to retreat.

After the Black Khan soldiers crossed the river, organized together, and formed a cavalry charge formation.

Chong Shiheng had already retreated to the mountain with his soldiers and horses.

The Black Khan soldiers faced only 5,000 local soldiers who were left behind.

The local soldiers did not compete head-on with the Black Khan soldiers at all.

After the Black Khan soldiers formally formed a formation, they began to flee in all directions.

The task given to them by Chong Shiheng was simple.

That is, to hold back the enemy's march as much as possible, and then to keep yourself alive.

"Chase!"

The Black Khan King Yu Sufu was carried across the river, looked at the Song soldiers fleeing in all directions, and gave a vicious order.

This time to cross the river, the Black Khan Dynasty lost soldiers and horses, almost caught up with the battle on the border of Shazhou.

However, the losses of the Song soldiers were almost negligible compared to the battle on the border of Shazhou.

Just when the Black Khan King Yu Sufu sent his soldiers and horses to pursue the local soldiers fleeing in all directions.

Chong Shiheng had retreated to the mountains outside Guazhou City.

In the mountains, Chong Shiheng prepared another battlefield to block the enemy.

The number of soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty was too large, and Chong Shiheng could not lead the soldiers and horses to confront them head-on, so he adopted a method of peeling off the skin layer by layer to weaken the strength of the Black Khan Dynasty.

Chong Shiheng not only prepared a battlefield to block the enemy in the mountains, but also set up a battlefield to block the enemy in Guazhou City.

In addition, the forest outside Guazhou City that was cut down by Li Di was also one of the battlefields set up by Chong Shiheng.

One by one, it is weakened.

Chong Shiheng was confident that when the soldiers and horses of the Black Khan Dynasty arrived at Yumen Pass, they would be weakened to 600,000.

Just when the war on Chong Shiheng's side had just ended.

The battle at Yangguan broke out.

The cavalry sent by the Black Khan King Yu Sufu and Xiao Pidi rushed all the way to Yangguan.

Then he rushed into a huge pocket formation very bravely.

By the time they reacted, nearly 110,000 soldiers and horses had already besieged them.

Di Qing wore a mask, straddled the horse, stared at the Black Khan soldiers and Liao soldiers in the encirclement, and said in a low voice: "Do you look down on me? didn't cover it up at all, just rushed to Yangguan on a rampage?

When I'm sitting in Yangguan is papier-mâché? ”

As early as when the Black Khan Dynasty and the Liao allied army arrived at the border of Shazhou, Di Qing received a military order to rush to Hexi.

The Yongxing army led by him sat in Xining Prefecture, and rushed to Yangguan all the way to Yangguan in the stars and nights, and it was only three days.

So when the combined forces of the Black Khan Dynasty and the Liao State appeared on the border of Guazhou, he had already rushed to Yangguan.

The reason why Chong Shiheng ignored the soldiers and horses sent by the Black Khan Dynasty and the Liao State was because he knew that with Di Qing sitting in Yangguan, the soldiers and horses sent by the Black Khan Dynasty and the Liao State could not break through the Yangguan at all.

Soon after Di Qing led the Yongxing army to Yangguan, the local soldiers of Shaanxi Mansion and Xiping Mansion also arrived in Yangguan one after another.

When Di Qing learned that there was a black sweat army with a number of 60,000 and Liao soldiers coming to attack Yangguan, Di Qing took the trouble to make some preparations and prepared to fight with the black sweat soldiers and Liao soldiers in Yangguan.

It's just that he sent out scouts, and after carefully probing the movements of the Black Khan soldiers and the Liao soldiers, he found that the other party didn't seem to take him seriously at all.

The other party drove all the way in, and rushed to Yangguan without any disguise.

Di Qing made a pocket array at the gate of Yangguan.

Then, without hesitation, the enemy soldiers rushed into the pocket formation.

A big war with more than 100,000 troops has not yet begun, and it is over.

Di Qing stared at the enemy soldiers in the encirclement for a long time, and then ordered in a deep voice, "Those who are willing to surrender will cut off two little toes and be incorporated into slave soldiers." If you don't want to surrender, kill. ”

Chopping off his toes was a method that Di Qing learned to control the captives when he was in Dali.

Cutting off two little toes and burning them with fire basically cut off the possibility of the captives escaping together.

With Di Qing's order.

Nearly 110,000 soldiers and horses pressed forward.

Most of the people among the Black Khan soldiers and the Liao soldiers surrendered decisively, and only a few diehards who did not know whether they were alive or dead chose to resist to the end.

Eventually, their corpses became fertilizer for all the flowers and trees before the sun.

In the cheers of the soldiers, Di Qing escorted 50,000 prisoners and slowly entered Yangguan.

Just as Di Qing was escorting the captives into Yangguan, Kou Ji also rode his horse into Yangguan.

One entered through the east gate, and the other through the west gate.

It wasn't until the Kannai that we met.

Di Qing was so happy and excited to see Kou Ji that he jumped off his horse, took off the mask on his face in full view of everyone, took three steps and made two steps, and ran to Kou Ji's horse.

"Brother!"

Kou Ji looked at Di Qing with a smile and said, "We shouldn't have seen each other in years, right?" ”

Di Qing nodded solemnly.

Kou Ji smiled: "You have grown up a lot. ”

Di Qing still nodded solemnly.

Kou Ji smiled and said: "Don't be so restrained, I'm not Cao Baochen, in front of me, I don't need to work hard to maintain that steady and mature face." ”

Di Qing suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled brightly.

Kou Ji nodded and smiled, "That's right." You're not yet thirty, and you shouldn't live like a little old man. ”

Speaking of this, Kou Ji looked at the huge team of captives behind Di Qing, and said with some surprise: "Won the battle?" ”
