"I don't believe that the Liangshan Army is really a heavenly general, they just rely on the advantage of advanced and sophisticated weapons, and we didn't know in advance that they had such a powerful weapon in their hands, so they caught us off guard."

Seeing that the generals under his command began to have wavering suspicions, and their morale was greatly lost, Brother Richard, as the commander-in-chief, naturally wanted to stabilize the morale of the army.

This is the good quality that a famous general should have, that is, he will not put a small defeat in his heart, or even waver, and his heart is always thinking about how to solve the problem and how to completely defeat the enemy to achieve the final victory.

"Don't doubt, let alone waver, we should be glad that Liang Shanjun was provoked by us and took out their trump card from the beginning. Let's think about it, if the Liangshan Army had been hiding this new type of thunderbolt and had only taken it out at the critical moment of the final decisive battle, wouldn't we have suffered a big loss!

Wouldn't it be better now, we not only know that the Liangshan army is brave and good at fighting, but also has such a big killing weapon in his hand, it is a tough opponent, and it is not so easy to break and annihilate. Then we should be even more uplifted, and show 120,000 points of spirit to deal with the enemy in front of us, no matter how strong the enemy is, we will definitely defeat them!

You must know that we have no way out, Xingqing Mansion has been besieged for half a year, and the food is almost exhausted, and if we consume it again, the Baigao Xia Kingdom will be destroyed!

Xia and Song have become mortal enemies, think about what we have done to the Song Dynasty over the years, once the country is destroyed, we, as well as our wives, children, and families will all be killed! Do you want your family to die? ”

This is the general's bearing, just a simple mobilization, which immediately aroused the fighting spirit of all the Western Xia generals present, and everyone suddenly turned red and bowed deeply to Brother Richard.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, you are right, we have no way out, this time we must defeat the Liangshan army! With your leadership, we will definitely be able to win this time, and we will definitely be able to relieve the siege of Xingqing Mansion, kill all the Western Army, and kill Jingzhao Mansion! ”

The morale was ignited again, Brother Richard nodded, told these to get up from the ground, and began to analyze them in detail: "I have asked carefully, this new type of thunderbolt of the Liangshan Army is not invincible, the power is not very great, and it is only useful for positional warfare.

The array does not fight, Song Zhu's ability to defend the city and the strength of the infantry array, haven't we already learned it? But the field battle has never been the opponent of our Great Xia Army!

Even if this group of Liangshan troops is all cavalry, and their field combat ability is not inferior to ours, but after all, there are only 20,000 or 30,000 people, and they do not bring food and grass to carry heavy baggage, and the lone army is deep and the terrain is not familiar, and we are surrounded by ten times the enemy, and we are afraid that we will not be able to eat them?

Even if the positional battle can't be defeated, they will be trapped to death! I don't believe that the Liangshan army is a heavenly soldier and a general, and he can still draw a bow and get on a horse without eating for a few days......

What Richard said is the truth, fighting in ancient times is not as good as in modern times, even if you are hungry for a few days, you have the strength to hold a gun, pull the trigger, and barely rely on willpower to continue fighting.

At this time, the war is all heavy physical work, such as the archer's stone and a few buckets of the bow, every time you pull it is extremely physically demanding, if you are hungry and can't put a few arrows at all, your physical strength will be exhausted, your hands and feet are soft, not only can you not continue to release arrows, but you can't even run, you can't walk.

At this time, no matter how firm the will to fight is, it will only be harvested and crushed!

This is what the so-called soldiers and horses said before the grain and grass were moved, because each soldier consumed too much food during the war, more than twice as much as usual.

Not to mention the cost of transportation, sometimes transporting 100 catties of grain to the front line may cost 150 catties on the road.

Therefore, at this time of war, the issue of grain and grass has always been put in the first place.

This time, the Liangshan army dared to run long distances and march two hundred miles in one day, fighting because of the enemy's food, and looting the walled cities of the Great Xia Kingdom along the way to obtain supplies.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that when His Royal Highness the King of Jin on our side first inquired about the arrival of the 30,000 Liangshan army, he made a decisive decision to clear the field as soon as possible.

Therefore, the Liangshan army could not get enough supplies at all, and it could not hold out for a few days just by relying on what he carried with him.

Thinking like this, everyone was unconsciously full of confidence in the next battle, and secretly said that as long as the Liangshan army really dared to crash into the encirclement on their side, our party Xiang Jian'er Iron Cavalry would definitely be able to besiege them to the death, and when their food and grass were exhausted, they would be completely annihilated.

"Ahh

Lin Chong, who was in the provincial city, sneezed a big sneeze, although he had been working hard since he was a child, but yesterday he marched more than 360 miles in one day and one night, and then fought bloodily in the middle of the night, Lin Chong still felt a little tired.

After all, his body is not made of iron.

Lin Chong stood on the city wall and tightened the fur on his body, and moved his hands and feet a little stiffly, I have to say that in the early morning of early winter in the north, the weather is still very cold.

However, fortunately, the Liangshan army was not an ordinary army, and in order to destroy the Western Xia this time, Lin Chong made sufficient preparations a few months in advance.

For example, sweaters, sweaters, leather pants.

With the blessing of these things, plus the fur coat and cold-proof mask outside, it is finally not so cold.

As early as the summer, when Lin Chong felt that he was raiding the Zhongjing Mansion of the Liao State, he calculated with Lu Jiang, Wen Huanzhang and others that if he wanted to conquer Western Xia, he was afraid that it would be delayed until winter.

So at that time, Lin Chong ordered people to pay close attention to the research and development of wool degreasing process, wool spinning process, and leather tanning process, so that Liangshan Workshop could quickly produce woolen yarn and woolen fabrics.

Then the female workers of the textile workshop and the women near Liangshanbo knitted sweaters and trousers; The Liangshan Military Workshop processed the woolen fabric into the more close-fitting clothes and pants of later generations, instead of the wide robe and large sleeve style of the Song Dynasty clothing, in short, everything was to keep warm.

Speaking of knitting, knitting is actually quite simple, because it is a standard military uniform, you don't need to think about the looks, you don't need to think about the patterns, and the weaving is still quite fast; As for woolen thermal underwear and sweater coats, they are actually just as simple, and they are no different from ordinary cloth clothes.

Therefore, although it was only three or four months, the Liangshan Workshop and the women near Shuibo started working with all their might, and they still drove out 100,000 sets of warm clothes, and the 30,000 troops who conquered the Western Thieves this time were the best among the 100,000 sets of warm equipment.

Take Lin Chong as an example, he is wearing an autumn coat and pants made of cashmere, a sweater and wool pants knitted by Zhang Zhenniang in the middle, a set of leather clothes and pants on the outside, and a layer of cowhide on the inner lining of the armor, and a fur coat on the outside, and a cold-proof mask on the face.

Although such a set of equipment is a little bloated, it is very warm, even if you ride on a galloping war horse and blow the cold wind, you will not feel too cold when you don't move for a few hours on a long march.

Of course, if you are fighting, you can't wear it like this, because you will sweat during strenuous exercise, so you have to wear it less.

In addition to these, Lin Chong also had the Liangshan Army Deli Workshop process a lot of marching dry food, such as meat floss and milk powder, which are the most produced, and then combine them with compressed biscuits sold in the system.

These are small in size, light in weight, and high-calorie food, which are easy to carry and eat, so that the Liangshan army can carry more days of rations, even if it goes deep behind enemy lines, it will not run out of food soon.

Of course, with Lin Chong here, as long as the money in the system is enough, even if it is besieged for a year, there will never be a danger of cutting off military supplies.

It's just that Lin Chong can't take all the 30,000 troops with him all the time; Second, Lin Chong also wanted to see how far the Liangshan army could go without the system, relying solely on the logistics supplies provided by the Liangshan Workshop.

After all, it was impossible for Lin Chong to personally lead the troops in every battle, if he could not rely on temporary purchases from the system, and could ensure sufficient logistical supplies by relying solely on the marching dry food provided by the Liangshan Workshop, then the Liangshan Army would be able to maneuver long distances at any time and carry out unexpected expeditions.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Chong dared to launch this raid, only bringing 1,500 elites among the elites, one person and two horses marched 300 miles in the middle of the night to kill the Mi Bao Department and the provincial Wei City, and took out the thunderbolt bombs that had been made long ago from the system, and personally went to the city to stimulate morale, and really beat the western thief by surprise, annihilated nearly 8,000 defenders, and beheaded the western thief Liang Yiyou, the king of Liang, and achieved a brilliant victory.

However, the Liangshan army also paid a considerable price, the 3,000 war horses in this raid were wasted, not only on the road directly killed more than 600 horses, the remaining more than 2,300 horses also caused irreversible damage, most of them even if they were well recuperated, it was impossible to charge into the battlefield again.

In addition, the elite of the 1,500 Liangshan Army also lost nearly 500 at once, seriously wounded more than 100 people, and even Yang Zhi, Shi Jin, and Hao Siwen were also hit by several arrows, and were stabbed by spears from a big hole in the gap in the armor leaf, and they could not continue to participate in the next battle.

The others, including Lin Chong, were also injured, and they were even more tired at this time, and they were completely persevering with the breath in their chests.

At this time, the sky was completely bright, and the defenders of the city, except for a few who had escaped desperately, had been completely annihilated, or were killed on the spot, or were wounded and lay on the ground waiting for death, and the rest also began to clean up the battlefield under the custody of the Liangshan army, and mended the wounded comrades.

After arranging the next work, Lin Chong did not seize a short time to rest, but stood in the city gate tower where there was still a bloody battle a few hours ago, looking at the layers of corpses on the city wall, as well as those prisoners of war who looked extremely well-behaved and docile, busy carrying the corpses there.

Lin Chong watched all this quietly, only to feel that his heart was empty, he couldn't think of anything, and all thoughts came to his mind.

In this battle, he won again, successfully annihilated more than 8,000 elite captive troops, and even Liang Yiyou, the uncle of the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun, was killed by himself, and also rescued more than 700 looted Han slaves.

Lin Chong asked these "Han slaves" that since the Song Dynasty rejected the Western Xia's request last year and hurried to launch an attack on the Western Xia, the food on the Western Xia side began to be tight, and they often began to starve.

Later, the Western Xia lost the war one after another, and they were often beaten, scolded, and killed as a punching bag.

Lin Chong couldn't forget the panic and helplessness he felt when he saw them for the first time last night, and the feeling of rebirth and ecstasy after knowing that he had been rescued.

It is said that having achieved such a great achievement and killing so many enemies, Lin Chong should have a great sense of accomplishment, but for some reason, Lin Chong couldn't be happy in his heart, and he didn't feel much uplifted.

At this time, seeing these well-behaved and docile Western thief prisoners of war, and even trembling, Lin Chong's thoughts were also flying.

It is conceivable that when the Western Xia was strong, these robbers were so invincible that they could catch up with the small Japanese imperial army of later generations; Before the Liangshan army arrived in Guanxi, these Western thieves and soldiers often beat and scolded and killed Han slaves to get angry, and how cruel and domineering they were.

But now he is extremely well-behaved and cowardly.

In order to show the punishment of the western thieves, Lin Chong decided to build a Jingguan in the provincial Weicheng, so he left more than 1,000 capturing troops and did not kill them, but let them carry the corpses, dig up the soil and build the Jingguan.

At this time, the number of Liangshan troops guarding them was actually very small, because after all, the Liangshan army marched so far in a hurry, and all of them were wounded, someone must have to take a short rest, eat something, and set aside a part of it as a patrol post to prevent Western thieves from other places from attacking.

Therefore, the Liangshan sergeants who guarded these "prisoners of war" were only a little more than one-tenth of them, but in this way, none of these thieves dared to resist or even escape, but they were all frightened.

It seems that the barbarian people, once they are subdued, will behave equally badly, and they are not stronger than the Song people who were weak in their mouths before.

However, the Han people, whose bloody nature has been reawakened, can rely on advanced weapons, efficient organizational skills, and strict discipline to beat these Hulu.

Just thinking like this, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, Lin Chong looked back in a trance, but it was Yang Zaixing and Mei Jiasheng who ran over with excitement on their faces, and when they saw Lin Chong turning around, they immediately shouted.

"Brother, I have already tortured it, Brother Richard wants to lead us to Lou Bobei's Baimaqiang Town Military Division to surround us, Lou Bobei is more than three hundred and thirty miles away; At this time, Brother Richard was in the right wing of the Keyi Gate towards the Shun Military Division, about one hundred and thirty miles away.

From here to Lou Bobei, we have to pass through the Keyi Gate, but from the Keyi Gate to Lou Bobei, we have to pass through a 150-mile desert desert, and Lou Bobei and I are also surrounded by deserts, and there is no way to get supplies at all, and Brother Richard just wants to lead us there and trap us.

The captain of Liang Yiyou's personal guard said that this time, Brother Richard gathered 50,000 captive troops, 1,500 iron harriers, 20,000 foot soldiers, and ...... tribal army near the military division of Baimaqiang Town."

Lin Chong listened carefully, and his thoughts finally came back from his empty head, and he couldn't help but sneer: "Brother Richard really looks up to our Liangshan army, and he actually used nearly 200,000 troops to deal with us.

But that's okay, this is probably all the main force that the Western Thieves can mobilize now, as long as we completely annihilate this group of enemies, take the head of Brother Richard, and the banners of the Western Thieves' armies to the next exhibition in Xingqing Mansion City, presumably everyone in the city will be afraid and cold, and they will no longer be able to resist the slightest will! ”
