Chapter 31 What is there to fear

Huan Yi couldn't help laughing, he looked at Liu Fa and shook his head: "The development of the Liangshan Army is too fast, the combat power is too terrifying, the imperial court will not sit idly by and watch the Liangshan Army continue to develop."

Xianggong think that the Liangshan army has such strength now, once Yanyun is recovered and the Jurchen barbarians are eliminated, the Liangshan army does not know what it will swell into at that time, plus they still have new gunpowder weapons, wouldn't it be even more difficult for the imperial court to exterminate them? ”

Liu Fa also reacted immediately, he paused and asked, "Mr. Huan is saying that it is very likely that the imperial court will turn against Liang Shanjun before the Jurchens are destroyed?" ”

Huan Yi nodded and said, "It's inevitable!" ”

Liu Fa sighed: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be cheaper for the Jurchens......"

Huan Yi smiled bitterly: "I hope it's not the case, but when that day really comes, Xianggong has to be mentally prepared early, thinking that once the imperial court transfers the Western Army to fight the Liangshan Army, the first to bear the brunt will be Xianggong's Xihe Army." ”

Liu Fa was silent, and he didn't know where he should go at that time.

This upright natural god general of the Western Army (the honorific title of Liu Fa by the Xixia people) died at the hands of the Western thieves since he was a child, and since he joined the army, he wanted to kill all the Western thieves to avenge his hatred, and at the same time to protect his family and defend the country, and glorify his ancestors.

But he never thought of fighting a civil war, let alone fighting with the Liangshan Army while the Jurchens, a powerful foreign enemy, were still there, and most of the world would be buried in the hands of the Jurchens.

For Hu Lu's barbaric ferocity, Liu Fa has personally experienced it.

The state of the Western Thief, a younger brother of the Liao State, has been in trouble for nearly a hundred years in Guanxi, killing and looting millions of people in Guanxi.

The Western Thief is still like this, what kind of energy should the Jurchens, who are said to be several times more powerful than the Liao State and have become a fixed situation to destroy Liao, burst out.

Once the Jurchen barbarians really destroyed the Liao State, the troops who integrated the Liao State invaded the Song Dynasty with the power of the great victory, but at that time, the imperial court and the Liangshan army were fighting......

Liu Fa really couldn't imagine what kind of scene the world would be like when the time came, with a river of blood flowing into the world.

No matter how entangled and worried Liu Fa was in his heart, time would always pass, and soon the sky would be bright.

When the first light appeared on the edge of the sky, Liang Shanjun's temporary camp suddenly moved, and it didn't take long for the sound of neat running to resound in the air, and Liu Fa, who was sleeping in a daze, immediately knew that Liang Shanjun had started running again.

Speaking of which, this is also one of the characteristics of the Liangshan Army, as long as they are stationed, no matter what time of day, no matter whether it is windy or snowy, they always have to run drills every morning.

And it's just a simple running exercise, but these Liangshan sergeants run in a group of 1,000 people, but they are surprisingly neat and unified, giving people the feeling of being a whole person.

The real thousands of people are like one, ten thousand people are like one, even the running team is neat and square, it looks indescribably pleasing to the eye, and indescribably imposing.

That's it, just run, they still have to sing, what "No Clothes", "Triumphant Song", "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions", "Loyal to the Country" one after another.

As soon as Liang Shanjun sang like this, the soldiers of the Western Army in the surrounding camps could no longer sleep, so they had to get out of the tents one by one or curse, or watch them run and drill on the side with great interest.

At the same time, he pointed and discussed, thinking that Liang Shanjun didn't know how to rest like this, and it was really stupid to find guilt if he had nothing to do.

You must know that even if the Western Army, as the first field strong army of the Great Song Dynasty, only trains every five days or every ten days, and never takes the initiative to practice, and is lazy if it can.

Therefore, Liang Shanjun runs ten miles every morning and evening, and still runs in the evening with full armor and weights.

However, Liu Fa knew that it was precisely because of these unremitting trainings and the awareness of the extremely strict discipline and prohibition of the Liangshan Army that the Liangshan Army had such a strong combat effectiveness.

After so many days of contact with Liang Shanjun, sometimes Liu Fa even wanted to learn from Liang Shanjun, take his military discipline seriously, and strengthen training in peacetime, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

Because the sense of discipline of the non-commissioned officers of the Western Army is really too bad, and their temper is still great, if their own troops do this alone, these soldiers will definitely make a mutiny.

"Sergeant Liangshan should keep in mind that there are three disciplines and eight points of attention! First, all actions should be commanded and synchronized in unison to achieve victory; second, I don't take a needle and thread from the people, and the people support and like me; Thirdly, all seizures shall be returned to the public ......"

In the neat and majestic military song, Liu Fa came to the outside of the camp gate, looking at the team bathed in the morning sun, he didn't feel a sense of vitality, and the troubles and entanglements of last night seemed to disappear in an instant at this moment.

"The army of real tigers and wolves, it seems that I saw a group of howling wolves!"

was watching, at this time Huan Yi also walked over, and Liu Fa couldn't help but admire.

Huan Yi's heart was even more agitated, and there was light in his eyes, but he still forcibly held back, just nodded lightly and said: "Exactly, such a strict military discipline, 10,000 people are the same, and the team is high-spirited, I really don't know how it was trained?" It's desperate to be an enemy! ”

Liu Fa also said lightly at this time: "Let's see how the Liangshan Army breaks the thieves today." ”

How to break the enemy in the Liangshan Army, this question is not only Liu Fa is thinking about, Tong Guan, Chongshi Dao, Yao Gu and others, and even the defenders of Xingqing Mansion, Li Qianshun, Li Renzhong, Li Liangfu and others also thought about it all night.

After the Liangshan army finished the exercise, they immediately returned to the camp to have a full meal, rest for a while, check the ordnance, mobilize before the battle, and after the small meeting of each commander and each team, and after assigning tasks, the first hour of the agreed time yesterday (9 o'clock in the morning) was almost there.

Lin Chong sent people to the city of Xingqing Mansion and shouted loudly: "Listen to the western thieves in the city, the time has come, whether to resist to the end and die, or to confess and admit guilt and exchange human heads for lives......

Before he finished shouting, he was answered by a bed crossbow arrow with thick arms shot from the city, and he heard Li Liangfu, the general of Western Xia, shouting at the head of the city: "Don't talk nonsense, let's fight!" ”

Lin Chong smiled, he naturally knew that this would be the result, so he didn't talk nonsense, and pointed forward with the spear in his hand: "Siege, ten rounds of artillery bombardment!" ”

With the sound of the loud war drums, the long arms of the two thousand catapults were pulled down, and the black clay pots were placed in the bomb pouches, and at the same time someone took a torch and lit the fuse of the black clay pot.

Seeing that it was still the same as yesterday's siege of the Western Army, the Western thieves in the city didn't care too much, and they weren't even half afraid - we had already learned the gunpowder weapons of the Song people yesterday, but they were just things with thunder and rain.

The so-called thunderbolt fireballs of the Song people, as well as poisonous smoke fireballs, etc., are indeed amazing, not only the fire attacks the sky and the smoke is billowing out, but also can shoot broken iron pieces and broken pottery pieces to hurt people, but the power is really not flattering.

The smoke of the flames can be quickly extinguished with sand, the lit wooden gatehouse can be extinguished with clean water, the smoke is only the most smoky to the eyes, it can be easily cracked by covering the mouth and nose with a damp cloth, and the broken iron pieces and pottery pieces ejected by the thunderbolt are also protected by iron armor.

Therefore, as long as they are not directly hit by these clay pots, these gunpowder weapons actually do not pose much of a threat at all.
