Chapter 767

But fortunately, in addition to the army of Liao, the Western Xia people also took out their last family funds. At that time, Xingqing Mansion will storm the land of Yanzhou when the Liao army is attacking Youzhou, and it will be difficult to contain the Song army.

In addition, the Western Xia army in the Yinxia region will also attack the flank of Hongzhou, as long as it can break through Youzhou, then the Liao army is equivalent to having a solid foothold in the south of the Hetao Shahai, and also open up the connection between the east and west sides of the Western Xia.

After that, whether it is to attack to the southeast or to the southwest, the use of troops will be much calmer. Yelu and Lu Wei were in the big tent, thinking about the strategy of using troops, and when they had their own soldiers in the account, they reported that the deputy envoy of the Privy Council of Western Xia had arrived at the military camp, and with them arrived a batch of supplies, as well as some information collected by Western Xia about the land of Sanzhou.

"Hurry up, please." Yelu and Lu Wei stroked the thick beard under their chins, and were studying the strategy, and the information was sent over there, which can really be described as timely rain.

"Your Majesty greets His Royal Highness." After entering the account of Quite Faith, he bowed to the ground very respectfully, and bowed to Yelu and Lu Wei.

"It doesn't have to be like this, please hurry up, I heard that you not only brought a batch of supplies, but also brought information about the land of the three states?" Yelu and Lu Wei waved their hands, and then walked up to Quite Chao Xinde, and asked with a pleasant face.

"Exactly, here is the information that my Great Xia has collected and sorted out over the past few days, and I would like to ask Your Highness to read it." Po Chao Xinde nodded, took a wooden box from the subordinate officer behind him, and handed it to Yelu and Lu Wei.

"Come on, serve tea, these things are really timely rain, you rest first, wait for the lonely to take a look first." Yelu and Lu Wei motioned for their soldiers to serve tea and pastries, and returned to the back of the handsome case to open the box and check it.

The intelligence transmitted by the Western Xia shows that the Song people have been working hard to repair and strengthen Youzhou and the walled forts in these three states. And in order to prevent the land of Sanzhou from being raided by the enemy, the people of the original Xia Kingdom made a rebellion in the city, so the people of the Xia State Party and the people of all ethnic groups in the land of Sanzhou were all expelled from the city, and they were allowed to scatter outside the city, or to find their own way to survive.

However, these three states were originally vast and sparsely populated, so there were not many walled forts, and it was difficult to form an effective defense chain, mainly with the three state cities of Youzhou, Hongzhou, and Yanzhou as the main defense points.

"The garrison of the Song State in these three states is only 50,000?" After carefully checking the kung fu of Jo Zhu Xiang, Yelu and Lu Wei put aside this thick information, rubbed their eyebrows, and asked each other towards Quite Chao Xinde.

"Exactly, these 50,000 horses are the roadside army of Shaanxi in the Great Song Dynasty, wearing strong armor and quite sharp combat power, among the 50,000 horses, there are 35,000 foot soldiers, and nearly 15,000 cavalry." He nodded and replied.

"The Song Kingdom actually has cavalry? Xiao really knew it for the first time. At this time, Xiao Shen, who also received the news, also entered the tent, and after hearing the words of faith and virtue, he couldn't help laughing.

This sentence made the face of the man who was quite faithful darkened by three points, and the few subordinate officials who left it in the tent all showed anger on their faces. It's just that they all saw the vermilion purple color of this Liao minister, and it was not easy to attack.

"Xiao Jian Army, the Song State has always had cavalry, although the number is quite small, but it is still very powerful, not to mention that the land of these three states, since it is the new base of the Song State, it will inevitably be guarded by heavy elite troops, and it is not surprising that more than 10,000 cavalry elites are placed here."

"It turned out to be Xiao Jianjun, and the deputy envoy of the Privy Council of Xia Guo was quite faithful, and he had seen Xiao Jianjun." Quite Chao Xinde didn't expect that the commander of the Liao army would actually open his mouth to resolve the embarrassment for himself, and after bowing slightly to Yelu and Lu Wei gratefully, he turned around and saluted Xiao Shen who was pacing into the tent.

"There is no need to be polite, for what happened to you in Western Xia, my Daliao Emperor is very sympathetic, and I am also very dissatisfied with the rude behavior of the Song Kingdom, so I will specially appoint His Royal Highness Prince Yelu as the commander and lead 300,000 troops to the south to uphold justice for you." Xiao Shen waved his hand very casually, found a chair and sat down, and said arrogantly towards Quite Chao Xinde.

Quite Chao Xinde can become an envoy to deal with these Liao people, his brain is naturally not bad, and his face is certainly thick enough, even if he heard the disdain in Xiao Shen's tone, although he was angry in his heart, but on the surface, he was smiling and groaning, and his tone was respectful and humble.

"There are only 50,000 soldiers and horses in the Song Kingdom, and they still need to be scattered in the land of Sanzhou to garrison, and they are bold enough, and they really don't take my Da Liao seriously." Xiao Shen stroked the long black beard that was very neatly cared for, and snorted coldly.

"Xiao Jian Army, in addition to these 50,000 border troops, there are also 70,000 Xiang troops who have migrated to these three states, although the Xiang army of the Song State has little combat effectiveness, but it is better to act cautiously." Quite Chao Xinde could only smile stubbornly.

I don't want to, it's okay not to say this, but after saying it, it aroused Xiao Shen's displeasure and sneered. "Song State's Xiang Army? Haha, as for those van troops who gathered the displaced people and disaster victims, so that they could make a living, and did not even have armor and armor, you actually want to let the Great Liao Tiger Ben act cautiously? ”

"Xiao Jian Jun, this has been said, although the Xiang army of the Song State has no combat power and is not fully armoured, but if they defend the city, it will still cause some trouble to our army to attack the city, this time my Da Liao Tiger Ben was ordered by His Majesty to go south, in order to be able to take the land of these three states in one fell swoop, warn the Song State, and shock the world."

Yelu and Lu Wei saw Xiao Shen pouting, but they didn't continue to make a big fuss, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and their eyes once again fell on the body that was quite faithful. "Before, Mr. Xiao, who is now an envoy in the country, once made a speech to His Majesty, talking about the soldiers of the Song Kingdom, and now the armor is quite sharp, and there are some new types of armaments to attack the city and destroy the wall, such as urging the soil chicken and tile dog, but there is such a thing?"

"It is true that the Song people seem to have developed a weapon similar to the bed crossbow, although its degree is not as far as the bed crossbow, but it can carry a hundred catties of heavy objects and throw it, used to destroy the city and pull out the village, very sharp."

Quite Chao Xinde naturally knew that if he didn't tell the truth at this time, once the Liao army suffered losses because of these, it would be the Western Xia who would be unlucky at that time.

"Far away can be nearly a hundred feet...... This distance, even if it is not comparable to the eight-bull crossbow of the Song Kingdom, it is not too inferior. Even Xiao Shen, who has always thought highly of himself, couldn't help but take a breath and sit up straight at this moment.

"Are there a lot of such weapons in the Song Kingdom?"

Quite Chao Xinde shook his head. "At present, what we have observed, there are only three, I don't know where the Song and the Great Liao meet, there have been such weapons, if not, I think this thing should have just been developed, not yet popularized."
