Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Western Xia War

A lot of things are like that, either you don't speak, and once you do, you say everything. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

For example, now this Lu Long Zhao's henchman named Zhang Shilang is like this, after the psychological defense line is broken, this thing almost asks and answers without thinking.

It turned out that his master was Zhao Lancheng, the current head of the Lulong Zhao family, and the deputy commander of Ma Bujun, who was the official residence of the Liao State and knew Nanjing (that is, Yanjing).

And the so-called four most prominent Han families in the Liao Guoyou and Yan regions, which were called the four major Yan clans by later generations, are actually the four major traitor families.

They were eunuchs as early as the beginning of the establishment of the Liao State or before, and after they surrendered to the Liao State for various reasons, because the Liao State was still a grassland barbarian at that time, a tribal alliance, and an extremely backward system and culture, they helped the Liao State to establish the Liao State system, govern the local Han people, and become high-ranking officials for generations.

Even after the Jin people destroyed the Liao, because the Jin people were also barbarians, these four great families took refuge in the Jin State, established a system for the Jin State, and made great contributions to the governance of the Central Plains, and prospered for four or five hundred years.

However, I don't know if the historical trajectory has changed a long time ago, or for other reasons, in this time and space, Zhao Lancheng is actually the same as Ma Zhi (Ma Zhi is also one of the four major clans of Yan, the four clans have intermarried for many generations, and they are still relatives with each other), feeling the pill of Liao, and Zhao Lancheng is indeed a little unable to mix in Liao.

Because the Jurchens have been oppressed by the Liao State for a long time, and after their rise, they were extremely hostile to the Liao State, and they massacred the city at every turn, and they had slaughtered almost half of the population of the original Liao State Tokyo Road, Zhao Lancheng really couldn't figure out how this group of barbarians would treat him, so he was still more inclined to take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty.

After all, the Great Song Dynasty was prosperous, and the people of the Song Dynasty were more gentle.

Lin Chong frowned and asked, "No, isn't it true that your Liao Kingdom has always looked down on the cowardice and incompetence of the Great Song Dynasty?" And Zhao Lancheng is in a high position in the Liao State, there is no special reason, how can this be? ā€

Lin Chong knew that many of the Han people in the Liao Realm had become Huhua, and their way of thinking was like that of the grassland barbarians, and they had always followed and depended on the strong.

Zhang Shilang became more and more surprised and admired in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "Don't dare to hide it from the king, there are indeed two reasons for this matter, one is that the Song State has recently become a military power, as early as almost a month ago, the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty has captured the Shuofang land of the Xia Kingdom......"

When Lin Chong and the others heard this, their eyes immediately widened, and they said in their hearts that Tong Guan, a dead eunuch, is really powerful.

"According to Xia Guo's intelligence...... Liu Fa of the Song State Liu Jingliu was ordered by Tong Shumi to enter the Shuofang land of the Xia State, and Liu Jingluo's 20,000 Western Army pioneers had just left Tong'an City not far away, and they were stopped by Li Chage, the king of Jin in the Xia Kingdom, with 15,000 elites on the border.

The two sides immediately lined up for a decisive battle.

Cha Ge divided his army into three formations, with infantry, strong crossbow army, capture army, and Poxi army to block Liu Jinglue's front army, and after containing Liu Fa's army head-on, Cha Ge sent a thousand iron harriers to cross the mountain, go around to the back of the Western army, and flank Liu Jinglue's army in front and back. ā€

Rao was already aware of the result, and everyone on the boat couldn't help but lift their hearts, and the speed of Ruan Xiaoqi and the others slowed down.

You must know that patriotic education is now carried out almost every day on Liangshan, and although everyone hates the dark and corrupt Great Song Dynasty, this is their own people fighting against foreign enemies and foreign races, and naturally they hope that the Western Army can win.

But I heard Zhang Shilang continue: "I don't want Liu Jingluo's Western army to form a new type of chariot spear formation, and it is equipped with a large number of small catapults.

Originally, the Xia army was in front of the Western Army, and the position was due north, and the Western Army was a headwind; But now this thousand iron harriers ran behind the Western Army, and the Western Army suddenly turned into a tailwind.

Just when a thousand iron harriers were charging at full speed, the western army suddenly fired ten thousand cannons, thunderbolt fireballs, poisonous smoke fireballs, thistle fireballs and various large and small stones rained into the iron harrier army formation, and the iron harrier war horse was frightened and instantly chaotic, colliding and trampling on each other......

On the other side, Liu Jingluo's front army also took the opportunity to advance step by step with a car formation, and after an hour of fierce fighting between the two sides, more than 10,000 elite Xia troops were finally defeated on all fronts, and Li Chage, the king of Jin, was also seriously injured...... Liu Jingluo took advantage of the situation to attack, and the seven battles and seven victories had already captured the Shuofang land of the Xia State in one fell swoop, and the troops were directed at Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xia......

The Xia State sent people to Daliao to ask for help, but now that there are Jurchens outside Daliao who are pressing step by step, and the hearts of the people inside are fluctuating, how can they send troops to aid Xia? ā€

"Great! The Shuofang area is lost, and the western thieves are not far away! Du Yan stroked his palms and laughed.

Ruan Xiaoqi was also overjoyed when he heard this: "If the Liao dog doesn't come to the rescue, the western thief will soon lose the country, this is like a dog entering a poor alley, no matter what, he has to fight back desperately, and the last blow is over!" ā€

General Lu also nodded ecstatically and said: "What Xiao Qi said is that in this way, the Western Army will be dragged to death for at least two or three years, and we don't have to worry about it!" ā€

Compared with them, Lin Chong was even more ecstatic, and at the same time, he thought that in the original history, Liu Fa, the natural god general of the Western Army, met Chage, the king of Jin in Western Xia, and the previous process was almost exactly the same.

It's just that Liu Fa's department in that time and space did not have a chariot array and a small trebuchet designed by himself, and as a result, the iron harriers of Western Xia easily broke through the formation, and the rear team was suddenly in chaos, and after six or seven hours of hard fighting, they were finally unable to return to the sky, and the whole line was defeated, and Liu Fa was also killed by small soldiers.

Brother Richard took advantage of the victory to attack, almost completely annihilating Liu Fa's follow-up troops totaling 100,000 troops, the morale of the Western Xia soared, and the generals of the Western Army were afraid, so the good situation that could destroy the Western Xia was reversed in an instant, and the Great Song Dynasty had to temporarily make peace with the Western Xia.

It is also for this reason that when the Jurchens came over, the only Western army in the Great Song Dynasty that could fight well was unable to quickly rescue Bianjing because most of them were pinned down by the Western Xia (the second Jurchen also blocked Tongguan), which led to the shame of Jingkang!

It can be said that the impact and chain reaction caused by Liu Fa's defeat in Tong'an City are too great.

But now, because of his own appearance, because of the chariot array and catapult he designed, and because Huan Yi sent by himself has become Tong Guan's henchman, the result of this battle has turned around, and it has become a great victory for Liu Fa and a great defeat for Brother Richard.

And the Western Army was encouraged by this, and subdued the Shuofang area at once, and the soldiers pointed directly at Xingqing Mansion, and now it has basically completed the encirclement on three sides, and the day of the death of the Western Xia is not far away!

And all of this, almost entirely because of themselves.

Thinking of this, Lin Chong is also full of a sense of accomplishment!

Lin Chong continued to ask, "Then what is the other reason?" ā€

Zhang Shilang listened to Du Yan and Ruan Xiaoqi's conversation, and he was a little shocked, and said in his heart that the pattern is so high, is this still a bandit?

Hearing Lin Qi's question, Zhang Shilang didn't think about it: "Another reason is because the blood trace of your Song State who judged the imperial court is invincible." ā€
