Zhao Xingyi grinned and replied: "I used to wonder why with the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty, I couldn't defeat the small country of Western Xia, but now I know, it's because our battle is not strong."

Whenever the Tangut people came, the surrounding states, the surrounding counties, and every common people wanted to defend their own territory and never rescue others, so the Tangut people attacked whichever way they came and went freely, while we other ways sat and watched the Tangut people wreak havoc. So much so that the first to bear the bring, with all the strength to resist the Western Xia country, no wonder we always lose the battle - and I, specially for the rebellion, today I want to change all this. ”

When Zhao Xing said this, envoys were frequently sent to the walled city to inform them of the military situation they had seen from the height of the city wall, as well as the dynamics of the Western Xia people that they had condescendingly observed, Shuai Fan kept communicating with the heralds, and when he returned to Zhao Xing's side, Zhao Xing asked: "How is the military situation?" ”

Shuai Fan replied: "On the east side, the Western Xia army has entered our security army, the front army is besieging Shunning Village, and the left army has arrived at Jinming Village. On the west side, Zhang Jingluo was there, the Xia army was besieging Dingbian City, and Zhang Jingluo told us that he still had spare strength, but he was temporarily unable to fight back; At the mouth of the White Horse River, the enemy army attacked frequently, and Ma Congma was too prepared to deal with it, and he couldn't pull out.

It is said that the Jingsai Military Division (Weizhou) was also overwhelmed, and Xie Jingluo had no way to ...... there."

Shuai Fan took a deep breath and added, "Now it's up to us to see all the roads!" My lord, the enemy is on the front, we might as well bear with it first. ”

Zhao Xing smiled slightly: "I can't help it, I heard that Empress Dowager Liang's little girl's skin is a rare oily and slippery among the Xia people, so how can I bear it." ”

Several generals around Zhao Xing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed their eyebrows and smiled, Zhang Cheng lewdly flattered: "My lord, you are also interested in the old woman of the Empress Dowager Liang." You are really born with a good appetite, but whether it is the Liao family or the Hakka family around you, it is much stronger than the Empress Dowager Liang. How can you look at the old witch of the Liang family, it is better to give it to the last general. The last general doesn't care if she's old. ”

Wen Xixin shook his head with a serious expression and said bluntly, "It's not good." Liao, I don't praise it, I heard that she dumped the talents of Jingzhao in Jingzhao, and she is so elegant that we can't evaluate it. But Hakka, a kind-hearted person. Last year, she led a group of women to distribute food and drink for the New Year in Gyeongju. It just so happened that I met, how holy, simply a bodhisattva in the world. How can the old witch of Empress Dowager Liang be worthy of being tied with the Hakka family...... Thinking back to that day, I cried when I saw Hakka's kind appearance. What a saint, I firmly disagree with the Liang family and the saint daughter juxtaposed. ”

After a pause, Wen Xixin seemed to have reluctantly made a decision: "Be a concubine." I don't agree, but I reluctantly agree to be a foot-washing maid for the Hakka family! ”

The Hakka that Wen Xixin said was none other than the Hu Nu Kasli, when "Ka" was used as a surname in the Central Plains. It evolved into a "guest".

Wen Xixin's seemingly straightforward words caused a group of men to laugh lewdly. Zhao Xing pointed at Wen Xixin, laughed and said, "Wen Dujian." Hugh wants to pretend to be a rough man in front of me, I heard that you can read poetry, and you write poems when you have nothing to do, you are also a cultural person, why do you like to play with pretending to be a soldier. ”

Wen Xixin smiled, this kind of smile often appeared on Zhao Xing, Zhao Xing smiled like this. Always ask others to be vigilant. But Wen Xixin's smile makes people feel so simple - in fact, this guy is no less than Zhao Xing in terms of cunning.

Wen Xixin smiled and humbly at the same time: "Our family is a Qingtang person, how dare you call yourself a wet person in front of adults." I'm not wet, dry and refreshing, a Qingtang person. ”

Shuai Fan had been observing the formation of the Xixia people with a telescope just now, and then he put down the telescope and said angrily: "My lord, it is not the army of the Empress Dowager Liang who is coming from the opposite side, it is Zhang Nuoping of the Jianing Military Division, that is, Zhang Pu and Zhang Wugongzi's father, he is looking for an adult to settle accounts." Empress Dowager Liang was in Yanlu and heard that she was personally directing the attack on Shunning Village. ”

"It's a pity!" Zhao Xing sighed, his face full of dissatisfaction: "Last year, the Empress Dowager Liang suffered a loss on my Huanqing Road, and was chased by a white-haired old man Zhang Jingluo running all over the mountain, I thought that with me being so handsome and extraordinary, I came to chase the Empress Dowager Liang, he must not change into men's clothes and escape, but I didn't expect her to come." ”

The generals laughed together, and Wen Xi asked innocently: "Why didn't she come, could it be that the man on my Huanqing Road was too fierce, and she was afraid?" ”

Zhang Chengxiao's tears came out, and he nodded frequently: "Of course it is fierce, even Zhang Jingluo is a white-haired old man, he can't stand it, and he must be shocked by the man on my Huanqing Road." ”

Shuai Fan sighed and said, "My lord, you arrested Zhang Pu, Zhang Nuoping is here to take revenge on you, I saw the Iron Harrier, the Poxi Army, and the Strong Crossbow Army...... The elites of the Jianing Military Division are all here, and Zhang Jingluo and Baimachuan are just bluffing. ”

Even if it is a bluff, it is too late to inform the people in those two places, because the terrain of Huanqing Road is special, these three out of the river mouth are winding for hundreds of miles, and each river is separated by continuous mountains, if you want to notify the two of them, you must exit the river, and then enter other rivers after arriving in Huanzhou - this came and went, and when the two families received the news, it is estimated that the Xixia people had already broken through one of the Sichuan roads and came to the city of Huanzhou.

Zhao Xing smiled disapprovingly: "Since you can't notify them, then fight-Are the armies ready?" ”

As the military horn sounded, a military flag swayed on the front and back of Zhao Xing's position, and the herald looked at the military flag and translated the flag to Zhao Xing: "The front army has finished wearing armor, the left army is ready, and the rear army Luo Xin reported that the trench has been completed, and the iron thorn horse has been installed; The Right Army reported that everything was ready. ”

Zhao Xing turned his face and ordered Zhang Cheng and Wen Xixin: "You go back to the army, bring your relaxed mood back, and tell the army: I originally wanted to catch a Empress Dowager Liang to warm my feet, but I didn't expect a rough man to come, but this is the case, and I can't give up." Jianing Military Division is a wealthy lord, and the Qian brothers have made a fortune on him, this time others sent money to the door, but they can't lose the courtesy, they must all be left behind, and they will be entertained well. ”

Not long after the officers returned to their ranks, Zhang Cun, the first general of Huanqing Road, ran out of breath from the reward port, waving an edict. Panting report: "My lord, here it is, here comes the formation diagram." ”

Zhao Xing took the formation diagram with a serious face and unfolded it to observe it carefully. Zhang Zheng reminded repeatedly: "It's down!" ”

Zhao Xing raised his head solemnly and reprimanded in a low voice: "What are you shouting about, I already knew that the Xixia people had arrived." ”

Zhang Cun reminded embarrassedly: "My lord, I didn't say the Xixia people, I meant that you took down the formation diagram." ”

Zhao Xing heard this, and looked at the Privy Council edict in his hand, indeed, he took down the formation diagram. No wonder the words on the formation map looked so weird, he then sighed, and said with a regretful face: "Don't shout, we cultural people, even if we take the formation map correctly, we can't understand it." So it doesn't make a difference if you're against me. ”

Zhao Xing This was deliberate, and the enemy army attacked in Guidegawa. The custom of the Privy Council requires the front-line soldiers to meet the battle with a cloud array, and there are few times when there is change. And the actual combat effect of the Yunyang Array is: a hundred battles and defeats, without exception. Even if there is no formation, it is impossible to achieve the 100% failure effect of the Yunyang Array, so in actual combat, the Yunyang Array is better than no formation.

Zhao Xing knew about this situation earlier. But last year he took a risk and launched a counterattack without a warrant from the Privy Council, and this year he will not be able to do so again. At least it is necessary to let the Privy Council take a step, such as accepting the Privy Council's troops, but not according to the Privy Council's explanation, putting on a doomed cloud array. He backhanded the edict scroll and threw it to the Japanese people around him - their existence was to help Zhao Xing deal with the spoils of war.

"Keep it away, it's a fine silk, dense and thick." Zhao Xing ordered the Japanese people. The Japanese respectfully accepted the edict. While muttering in his mouth, he trembled with excitement: "The holy decree of the Celestial Empire." What a blessing, Shousan, do you remember to prove to me that I did touch the edict of the Celestial Empire. ”

Zhang Zai's face was green, and his mouth was bitter: he said that the fabric was dense and thick, and this was what the woman said. Ordinary women say this about the materials they are satisfied with when they look at the fabrics on the soles of their shoes.

Zhang Cunzheng was looking for an opportunity to persuade, Luo Xin rushed over with a few servants, Shuai Fan muttered in his ear, he frowned and said: "Yunyang Array, it's actually Yunyang Array again, are those stupid pigs in Chaoli sent by the Xixia people?" ”

"You can't blame the ministers in the court," Zhao Xing sighed and said: "Under the foolish education, if the intelligence of a cultural person who reads poetry is not as low as that of a Mengtong, it is a failure of education...... However, if the ministers of the court faint, we can't follow the fainting, because it is our lives that they faint, so they don't care; We fainted, and we lost our lives. Listen: No matter what formation we put up today, it's called the Cloud Array. ”

Luo Xin bowed and said, "Oh! ”

Zhang Cun's body moved, but he didn't agree, just looked up at the formation opposite, and said, "Be careful, my lord, I'll reward you for moving your mouth." ”

After Zhang Cun left, Shuai Fan looked at the crowd on the opposite side, and asked worriedly: "My lord, the enemy army is several times larger than mine, is it too rash for us to go out of the city to fight?" ”

Zhao Xing took a deep breath and replied: "I don't understand military affairs, but I think the so-called art of command in battle formations is just a management problem in a broad sense. From a management point of view, we did everything we had to think of. For example, war is an organizational puzzle. So we spent a year building up the grassroots organizations of our army, with every five people being one team, two teams being one tithe, one tithe equal to one squad, five squads equal to one platoon, and five platoons equal to one company......

Structurally speaking, the organization of our army is far stricter than that of the Xixia people, and the management doctrine says that one person can manage a maximum of seven people, and we only let them manage five people.

In addition, the skill of the army in battle is to concentrate - to concentrate superior firepower, to concentrate superior forces, which we thought of and did, four thousand Shaanxi infantry archers have each been equipped with a crossbow, a bow, they have enough arrows to shoot, as long as we learn to use troops in battle, presumably we can also make the Tangut people suffer.

In this regard, we may not have an advantage over the Tanguts, those bastards are naturally sensitive to war, but they are empirical ideas, and we have a theoretical system to back it up, we know how to analyze the war, and we are advancing every time we fight. Therefore, we will definitely defeat the Tangut people, because the Tangut people cannot afford to consume national strength and economy.

Another example is knowledge, and war may be a professional knowledge. We don't understand this, but we have begun to explore and teach the commanders below us to learn to take the initiative to participate in the war and learn to deal with emergencies according to the situation on the battlefield. We may not be as good as the Tanguts in this respect, but I still say the same thing: they are empiricists, and we are the scientific system. We are better than them because we have the time.

Finally, it's about fitness and equipment, not to mention equipment. The Tangut people compare creativity with us, but he can't. As for fitness, we have been trying our best to do intensive training for most of the year, and maybe there is a slight difference in fitness, but we have made up for it with equipment.

We've done what needs to be done, and all that's left is to pray to the gods—let the High Priest of Ansida come. I need some divine power in order to fill our soldiers with battle**. ”

Ansida, who was hurriedly summoned, was a little displeased when he heard Zhao Xing's request, and refuted: "My lord, do you need me to pray for the killing?" ”

An Sida was forcibly summoned by Zhao Xing to Xiangyikou, and he didn't know what Zhao Xing meant by placing him in this dangerous place early. So he was very dissatisfied, but Zhao Xing didn't care about his complaints, and pointed to the grassland in front of him. Pointing to the mouth of the river behind him, pointing to the mountain pass where the snow had just melted, he stubbornly said, "Pastor An, look at this hill, look at this land, look at your lamb."

Pastor Ann, it took seven days for God to create this world. But how long does it take to destroy one's world: it only takes seven seconds. Just stick the dagger into his chest. What does this mean? It shows that construction is always more difficult than destruction, and destruction is the easiest thing. Therefore, the degree of civilization of different races cannot be measured by the amount of destructive power.

Soon we will encounter a vicious enemy whose iron hooves will crush this tranquility, and your lambs, my fellow citizens, need a little courage to fight to the death, whether from God or from the devil. I need to let my fellow citizens know that God blesses creative peoples. I need to let them know that animality is not the same as strength. However, when bestiality raged on this land, we, a creative people, never feared to use the most violent bestiality: blood for blood, tooth for tooth.

Pray, pray for your Lamb, pray for God's creativity, pray for our people, pray for my soldiers—if this battle is won, I will give it all to the glory of God after the battle—your God! ”

Ansda looked left and right, looking at the expectant eyes of the soldiers, he raised the scepter in his hand and began to pray aloud: "Lord! Teach your Lamb,

In times of weakness, face strongly,

In the midst of fear, be courageous and self-controlled,

In the midst of failure, still not discouraged,

In the midst of victory, stay humble.

O Lord! Bless your Lamb of the earth,

Please don't let them go astray into the path of pleasure,

and put them in the midst of difficulties and challenges,

that they may learn to stand up in the storm,

This leads to compassion and understanding.

O Lord! Give them humility and wisdom, that they may never forget,

True wisdom is in humility,

True strength is in meekness,

True greatness is in simplicity.

O Lord! Give them a pure heart, a noble purpose,

Let them not forget the past and embrace the future.

Let them face the challenge with the right to say: I did what I had to do.

Amen! ”

Ansida recited the prayer aloud, and some of the believers in the boy scouts began to point to the ground on one knee, with their hands clasped in front of their chests to simulate the blooming of lotus flames, and the other soldiers did the same, kneeling down on one knee. After the prayer was recited, the armies were silent in solemnity, Zhao Xing waited for them to stand again, jumped on the nest car (command car), and shouted loudly to the armies to mobilize before the battle: "Everyone, Stus Land, who raised us and raised our ancestors, the blood flows in our veins, and taking a step back is our homeland, and we have nowhere to retreat." We are slaves with our hands held high, and our wives and children will be humiliated by the party, and we cannot lift them up empty-handed, unless we have swords and spears in our hands.

We have nowhere to retreat, we cannot surrender, for our homeland, for our wives and children, for the sake of my yellow blood, let us pray, pray for the blessing of our ancestors and ancestors, let us be born in Siyus, and die as we deserve. ”

Behind him, the Cane Drum Band played a rumbling Qin song: "**Inside, the Emperor's Land."

Wading quicksand in the west, and reaching the north in the south.

There is the East China Sea in the east, and Bactria in the north.

Wherever people go, there are no subordinates.

A amount of equipment, the same as the text.

The sun and the moon shine, and the boat is contained.

It's all their fate, and they can't be surprised.

When the time comes, it is Emperor Wei......"

In the rumbling of drums, the soldiers who could sing and could not sing and the people and strongmen shouted hoarsely in Shaanxi accents: "Sage wisdom, benevolence and righteousness, show the truth."

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land.

On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister! ”

Shuai Fan nodded beside him and said happily: "Morale is available!" ”

"Withdraw the formation, all the armies, the victory will meet again, or the kingdom of heaven will meet again", Zhao Xing waved his hand and ordered: "Let's start!" ”
