Chapter 434: Soldiers Coming to Xia Prefecture
Li Qianshun came towards this side.
In just a few years, Li Qianshun has changed greatly.
Originally, he was an elegant gentleman, like a humble gentleman, and looked like he was thirty or forty years old, and had a very good demeanor, but now he had pale hair, wrinkled face, and dusty weather, and gave the impression of a bad old man of sixty years.
"See the Fourth Prince!" Li Qianshun lowered his head, bowed, and said.
His voice is also full of vicissitudes, giving people a hoarse feeling.
"You are the emperor, you don't have to salute me." Golden Vulture Dao.
"Where am I now, what emperor is? The Western Xia has been destroyed, and I am now at most a tribal leader! Li Qianshun gritted his teeth and said.
"Western Xia did not destroy the country, there are more than ten cities north of the Gobi, and you still have hundreds of thousands of people, and now you are only temporarily in trouble." Golden Vulture Dao.
"Countless people of my Western Xia died at the hands of the Han people, especially the Han emperor who dug the Yellow River and flooded the Yinchuan Plain, and two million people died there! Such a deep hatred, I must take revenge! Li Qian said by the way.
"Now our chance has come! As long as you follow us south, you can enter Guanshan to take revenge. Jin Wushu laughed.
"Yes! I don't know what the fourth prince called me to do? Li Qian said by the way.
"It's not far from Xiazhou now, you have 30,000 soldiers and horses under your command, you take these people to Xiazhou City, and give me Xiazhou City." Golden Vulture Dao.
"This ......" Li Qianshun was stunned.
"What? Don't you want to? "Golden Vulture Dao.
"I'm willing, but I'm afraid I won't be able to beat Xiazhou City." Li Qian said by the way.
"When I saw you that day, didn't you say that you Xixia people were lying down and trying their courage, and they were training every day, and now it is different! That Xiazhou City is just a garrison of Jiangnan soldiers and horses, and Jiangnan soldiers and horses are vulnerable, can't you beat them? "Golden Vulture Dao.
"Even if our Western Xia soldiers and horses can defeat Xiazhou, I'm afraid they will die a lot! Fourth prince, if you want to enter Guanshan, the plan is not small, if you lose troops in Xiazhou now, then how can you be? Li Qian said by the way.
Li Qianshun was now holding his hands tightly, he knew that the Jurchens were using their Tanguts as cannon fodder, and wanted to let them attack Xiazhou City alone, and then the Jurchens would seize the fruits of the war in the back! Li Qianshun has tried his courage all these years, but he only has these 30,000 soldiers and horses, he cherishes them very much, and he never wants these 30,000 soldiers and horses to die in Xiazhou City like this!
"Your Highness, now is not the time for infighting. When we get to Guanshan, we still need the Tangut people. Wan Yan suddenly whispered.
The Golden Vulture nodded slightly.
"How do you think we should behave?" Golden Vulture Dao.
"Our 100,000 troops are all moving forward, marching to Xiazhou, and breaking through the city of Xiazhou in one fell swoop!" Li Qian said by the way.
"Good! It's up to you! In this way, the emperor you lead 30,000 soldiers and horses as the left army, Tuhesu you lead 30,000 soldiers and horses as the right army, and I personally lead 30,000 soldiers and horses as the middle army! Let's press the whole army and take Xiazhou City by surprise. "Golden Vulture Dao.
Li Qianshun finally nodded.
Li Qianshun had already left, and Jin Wushu looked in the direction where Li Qianshun left, with a cold light in his eyes.
"Your Highness, now we still need to rely on the Western Xia people to fight for us." Finish the face and suddenly close the speed road.
"I know, but whether it's the Tangut or the Han, I look down on it! That's it, rely on them for the time being, and wait until the future, after destroying the Great Song Dynasty, we will destroy the Western Xia! "Golden Vulture Dao.
"Your Highness, the soldiers are very tired, do you want to let them rest?" Finish the face and suddenly close the speed road.
"It's only more than thirty miles away from Xiazhou City now, isn't it time to rest? Go all out, now the Han people must be unprepared! "Golden Vulture Dao.
The army continued to move forward, and the Golden Vulture had an excited smile on his face.
This year, he has suffered two setbacks! The first time was on the grassland, he was defeated by Yue Fei and Liu Qi, and the second time was at Juyong Pass, where he led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to defeat Juyong Pass! And this time, he bypassed Datong, where the Song army was heavily stationed, and came from Xiazhou, he believed that he would be able to achieve results and enter the Central Plains!
"The second brother was defeated by the Han people, and the 200,000 army was gone! However, I will beat my second brother after Yan Wushu, and I will avenge my second brother! Jin Wushu said secretly.
Of course, he didn't know that Wanyan Zongwang was not dead, but was just captured alive.
******
In the bitter cold of the northwest, the road is very difficult.
Two hours have passed, and the Jurchen and Western Xia armies are still ten miles away from Xiazhou City.
The wind was howling and the weather was extremely cold.
Countless Jurchen soldiers were so cold that their hands trembled, they were so tired that they didn't want to continue walking at all.
"Hey, it's better to stay in Zhongjing! In Zhongjing, we eat and drink every day, and Khitan women accompany us! Now we're marching in such weather! ”
"The fourth prince wants to establish meritorious deeds and conquer the Central Plains, so we have to go south."
"I really can't figure it out, what are we going to do in the Central Plains? A few years ago, we attacked the Central Plains, but we have failed, and now we want to attack the Central Plains again? ”
"Hey, I really want to find a hot kang head to rest for a while."
The Jurchen soldiers in front are whispering!
Today, the Jurchen soldiers are no longer the same group of people in the deep mountains and old forests twenty years ago! Many of them were newly grown Jurchens, who were so accustomed to enjoying the glory that they didn't want to go out to fight at all!
They also can't stand the bitter cold of winter and only prefer to stay at home.
On the contrary, the Xixia people of the Left Route Army moved forward in silence, and no one spoke.
All the Tangut people had an indescribable resolute expression on their faces! After experiencing the hatred of the country, from Li Qianshun to every soldier, the Western Xia people have changed greatly!
"I hope to be able to enter the Central Plains as soon as possible and take revenge! However, it is almost impossible to destroy the Great Song Dynasty! Li Qianshun rode on his horse and let out a long sigh.
He had seen the soldiers and horses of the Song army that day, and he was shocked by the strength of the Song army! Moreover, the Song army is not just like tens of thousands, but hundreds of thousands of people! In Li Qianshun's opinion, the Song army has even surpassed the Jurchen soldiers and horses of the past, and the current Jurchen soldiers and horses must not be compared with the Song army! He has been training in the past few years, but he feels that the soldiers and horses under his command are not as good as the soldiers and horses of the Song army! In the past few years, he has suffered a lot in the north of the Gobi, but he lacks all kinds of materials, and the weapons in their hands are far inferior to the original, let alone compared with the Song army! Moreover, he felt that Song Jun's training methods were not trivial, and he wanted to learn from Song Jun, but he couldn't learn anything.
"I don't want to revive Western Xia anymore! Western Xia has perished! I just want revenge! Actually, I see it very accurately now, the world is already the world of the Song people, and the Jurchens will only have a dead end in the future! It's a pity that these Jurchens can't see the situation in front of them clearly, and they are still arrogant, if they immediately hide in the deep mountains and old forests now, or just like the Huns in the past, leave the Central Plains and go west, there is still a way to live! Hey, these Jurchens are not a good thing, they even let us rush to the front, and we deserve to die! Li Qianshun said secretly.
The sky was dark, the north wind was howling, in such weather, Li Qianshun also felt cold, and what was even colder was his heart.
He felt desperate! This time the head south is just a breath! He himself headed south with 30,000 cavalry, but he had already ordered all the remaining Tanguts north of the Gobi to go farther west and north, hoping to find a place to survive there!
"Now that the road is smooth, we will be able to come to Xiazhou in half an hour at most!" Li Qianshun said secretly.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden scream from the front!
******
The Jurchen and Western Xia armies marched forward, and they did not carry torches in order to conceal themselves!
Moreover, the wind is so strong that even if there is a torch, it will be blown out immediately.
The Jurchens sent people to explore the way ahead, but unfortunately in such a night, they could not see clearly in some hidden places.
The sound of the bowstring vibrating!
In the east, there was a sudden scream, which was the scream of the Tangut people.
"The Han people are lurking here! Rush up and kill them! A Western Xia general shouted loudly.
"The Han people have killed countless of our people and killed our relatives, this time we are here to take revenge! As long as you can kill a Han Chinese, it's worth it! There were Western Xia soldiers shouting loudly in front.
The Western Xia cavalry is frantically moving forward!
Soon, they met the 20,000 Zhang family troops led by Zhang Xin!
