At the beginning of the war, except for a small number of scouts in the west, there were almost no other places, and after the surrender of the remaining personnel of Western Xia, they immediately sent out the scouts despite the fatigue of the cavalry.

Before the First Battle of Western Xia, their target was the Western Xia Army, as long as they kept an eye on him and looked at the reaction of the Liao Army by the way, but now after the battle was completed, the goal turned around.

The Liao State didn't make a move, not because they didn't want to, but because they felt that it was enough for the Western Xia to do it, 30,000 iron harriers, or the elite who were carefully selected, in the state of sneak attack, they couldn't beat the Northern Song Dynasty foot soldiers, this is a joke, whoever says this, no one will believe it.

Now, when the results of this battle reach Liaoxingzong, what will it be like, the 30,000 iron harriers will be wiped out before they even last for half a day.

The meaning of this is definitely known to Liao Xingzong, even if he doesn't know, the civil and military ministers below will let him know.

30,000 iron harriers, even if they are placed in the Liao army, are also a very strong team, in this case, they were cleanly killed by the Northern Song army, and the army of the Northern Song Dynasty, relatively speaking, is not far more than the Western Xia army, God knows what will happen.

Spreading all over the horses to prevent the Liao army's angry sneak attacks is one aspect, and the other is to harvest the spoils of war and clean up the battlefield.

Even Han Qi led the army to dispatch in person, and even gave up the best plan for the sake of capture, and did not choose a place suitable for cavalry charge, in a rugged, dense forest, or a relatively complex place, so that the possibility of victory was greater, and the error tolerance rate would be higher.

But there was no such choice, for the sake of these animals.

This time, the biggest harvest was the 450,000 head of livestock that we got from Liao.

These cattle are only a small part of the insignificant ones captured by Liao Xingzong from Western Xia, and when he took Xingqing Mansion, the livestock in Xingqing Mansion alone were as many as 2 million heads, not to mention, under the frantic sweep, those cattle collected were conservatively estimated that the livestock captured by Liao State in Western Xia were at least more than 5 million heads.

There are not many core areas in Western Xia, that is, the five states with Xingqing Mansion as the core, but these five states are the most abundant water and grass in the Hetao region, which is much better than the grasslands of the Liao State.

These are the places where the weight can be watered, and they are the essence of the Loop, and cannot be measured simply by the area of the land.

The reason why the Western Xia was able to take the land of five continents, cholera in the Northern Song Dynasty for so many years, and the richness of the Hetao can also be seen.

Killed 30,000 iron harriers in a short time, among them, there are very few large siege equipment, at most the armor-piercing arrows shot by heavy longbows, this can penetrate the armor of iron harriers, but there is not much damage, at most smelting and smelting, you can use it.

The Northern Song Dynasty before it may be wasted, but now, it is very worthless, and the effect is not very good, if it can, it can be pulled down, as scrap iron, which can be smelted by blacksmiths and used as building materials.

This kind of technology, the blacksmiths of the Northern Song Dynasty still have it, a little red and beaten into a strip material, and even as long as the hardness is enough, the rest does not matter.

A set of iron harrier armor, about 60 catties, 30,000 sets, 1.8 million catties, spent a little effort to melt and cast, can be used as a basic material for many fortresses.

As for taking it and wearing it, Han Qi never thought that under Zhao Xin's efforts, the blacksmith workshop began to produce crazy output, and this output is getting bigger and bigger, under this premise, these iron armors really don't have much effect.

Except for a few of these forbidden troops under Han Qi's command, who were brought from the capital, the vast majority of the rest were native to the northwest, and they couldn't even convert it.

Looking at the elite armor that could not be bought at a price of 10 guan or even 10 guan before, it was treated as scrap metal and thrown on the vehicle, they couldn't turn around, how long has it been, and it has changed so much.

450,000 head of livestock, plus the capture of this battle, the storage is enough, but the vehicle is somewhat insufficient, from the temporary dismantling of the barracks, temporarily enough for these loading and unloading, these foot armor is the most worthless, if the Liao army really pursues, need to abandon some logistics and supplies, these are the first time to abandon.

Yuan Hao and Liao Xingzong, if they knew that the Northern Song Dynasty put their valued heavy armor so easily at such a low level, I am afraid they would be dumbfounded.

You must know that among the seizures from Western Xia, what Liao Xingzong valued most was these iron harrier armors, selected some from the middle, and added them to the heavy cavalry of the Liao State.

This is the difference between countries, even in the history of the original Northern Song Dynasty, iron is not particularly important, from the 800,000 forbidden army, there are four or five hundred thousand foot armor can be seen.

What Han Qi values more is actually horses, especially the war horses of these Western Xia Iron Harriers.

Horses are different from horses, the horses in the Northern Song Dynasty market, the horses from the Western Xia and Liao countries, are the highest grade, the general Northern Song Dynasty horses, need to be within 40 guan, but the horses of the Liao and Western Xia immediately climbed back to more than 100 guan.

Ordinary horses, horses, and even thousands of horses, and military horses are still different, on the battlefield, there are inexplicable dangers everywhere, for people, even more so for horses, all military horses, need a long time of training and domestication, these domesticated military horses, it can be said that they are not changed.

On the battlefield, almost 10,000 people surrendered, these horses were taken, among the wounded horses, about 3,000 intact ones can also be made, and about 7,000 slightly injured, these are as long as the injury is healed, it will not affect the future riding, which is the biggest gain in this battle.

With the help of Ma Kai of the whole body, it is not easy to shoot the vital points, and the most important thing is that these 30,000 cavalry are one person and two horses.

A fighting charge horse, they were already on the battlefield, and the remaining 30,000 were still on the other side of the mountain.

After capturing these Western Xia troops, Han Qi went there as soon as possible to inspect them, but what disappointed him was that although these horses also had some divine horses, they were not war horses, at most they were just ordinary horses.

After being a little disappointed, he was relieved, he knew very well the origin of the Western Xia Iron Harrier, it was done by Liao Xingzong, maybe in order to maintain their combat effectiveness, the war horses would not be discounted much, but the horses responsible for marching and riding were of course not war horses.

In fact, this is not a problem for the people on horseback, as long as the foot strength is enough, it does not matter what horse to ride.

In fact, these horses are not bad at all, they can be regarded as selected among the horses of the right age, how can the horses that can withstand the weight of more than 150 kilograms of heavy cavalry be average, and they can also march long distances, these horses can be sold for at least 200 or even 300 horses in the Northern Song Dynasty.

With these horses, with these herdsmen brought from the interior of the Northern Song Dynasty, all of them went on and passed quickly at all costs, a distance of 60 miles.

For the cavalry, the fast horse whip, at least an hour can advance about 60 miles, regardless of everything, under the full force, at most half an hour, you can enter the territory of Lingzhou.

This is where Han Qi's confidence lies, once the western Tanma makes any discoveries, for example, if Liao Xingzong gets the news and the army presses him, he will immediately put down some baggage and leave.

But now, with Han Qi's understanding of the Liao State, it is unlikely that the Liao State will know that those Liao State personnel in the Western Xia Army are also under the same fowl, even if there are some fish that slip through the net, they need to go to Xingqing Mansion and inform Liao Xingzong, which will have a time difference.

Whether it was the trophies, the livestock, or these horses, none of Han Qi wanted to give up, it depended on their speed, as well as the reaction speed of the Liao State.

On the battlefield, anything can happen, but now, for Han Qi, every minute and every second is very crucial, in Han Qi's opinion, if he waits a little longer, his gain will be greater.

On the whole battlefield, all the personnel began to move, the warriors, with the prepared tools, searched the battlefield, mainly the arrows of the longbow, these are the focus, especially the armor-piercing bow, some of the herdsmen began to Barra's foot armor, they were as fast as possible, sometimes, too difficult to take off, so they were thrown aside, in order to reduce the time as much as possible.

The sun began to rise, providing plenty of heat to the grasslands, and the herdsmen, who had already prepared their tents, had already set out, and they had divided half of their forces to drive cattle and horses, which were considered to be the most valuable as large animals, especially nearly 70,000 horses.

These horses include nearly 20,000 horses seized from the Iron Harrier, and 10,000 given by Liao Xingzong, which may have such and such problems, but they are not impossible to deal with.

This batch is the fastest and the first to set off, as long as there is no loss of these things, this operation is more perfect.

The speed of these materials is very fast, about 15 miles per hour, which is the result of the horse reducing its speed and working with the oxen, otherwise the horse can move at a speed of at least 60 miles, so that at most half an hour, it can reach the territory of Lingzhou, even so, the speed of the ox will arrive in 2 hours at most.

For this batch, Han Qi didn't care at all, as long as the Liao State didn't arrange it here in advance, excluding a group of powerful cavalry, there should be no problem in sneaking up on this team.

This represents the largest seizure, including nearly 70,000 horses and 100,000 cattle, which are inconspicuous in the Liao State, and may not even be exchanged for a single cow from the Northern Song Dynasty, but in Han Qi's view, it is worth a huge amount.

70,000 horses, up to 3.5 million yuan, 100,000 cattle, and more than 1 million, with these, this trip to Xixia can be regarded as a success, and Lingzhou has the confidence and materials for development.
