This operation was extremely beautiful, first killing 5,000 Liao troops, including 1,000 leather room troops. At present, a beautiful attack has wiped out the 3,000 Liao army, which fully verifies the strength of the Guixin army, which is quite strong, and has an overwhelming advantage in the face of the Liao army.

It's enough to make people happy, to make people happy. However, as Qi Dabao said, this is just to restore the glory of our ancestors, our ancestors were far away in the Han Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty had such a powerful advantage. It is precisely because the armies of the Han and Tang dynasties have incomparable advantages that the Han and Tang dynasties have established great achievements that will be admired and even worshiped by future generations.

"The great deeds of our ancestors are so insurmountable! We have tried our best to create a converted army, which can suppress the Liao army, but it is just to restore the glory of our ancestors! Wu Ji was shocked and had to agree with Qi Dabao's conclusion.

The strong Han Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty weather certainly make no one praise, but only after experiencing the weak Song Dynasty, can we deeply understand that the strong Han Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty weather are not easy to come by, and they are two insurmountable mountains, and it is even more difficult to surpass.

"Huh!" Mrs. Zheng let out a burst of cheerful laughter: "No matter what, we have finally restored the glory of our ancestors. As long as we restore the glory of our ancestors, we have the hope of defeating Liaogou, destroying Western Xia, marching into the desert, recovering the Western Regions, pacifying Liaodong, collecting Jiaozhi and Nanzhao, and unifying China. ”

At this moment, Mrs. Zheng was full of pride, looking up to the sky and letting out a long roar, agitated and loud, as if expressing his full of pride and ambition: "In the past, we also wanted to unify China, but there was no hope. Now, the Converts have such a strong fighting force, and we see hope! ”

The Song Dynasty nominally unified China, but in fact did not unify China, it was just the largest warlord, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, Liaodong, Da Desert, Hexi Land, Western Regions, Vietnam, Nanzhao, these territories that China had as early as the Han Dynasty did not recover, where can it be called unified, to say that it is unified, it is just the self-deception of the Song Dynasty.

This is not to say that the emperor of the Song Dynasty did not understand, but he did not say it explicitly. The emperor of the Song Dynasty also wanted to unify the country and destroy the Western Xia, and Song Taizong was the most active one, so he did not hesitate to fight with the Liao State, and once hit the periphery of Youzhou. It is a pity that the Song Dynasty was unable to complete the great cause of reunification, and it has not been completed until now.

To be precise, it was not completed until the fall of the Song Dynasty.

The reason why it was not completed was that the Song Dynasty did not have an army that could fight well. Although Song Taizu and Song Taizong were emperors immediately, they did not create an army with an overwhelming surname advantage like the Han and Tang dynasties, although the Song Dynasty had such conditions.

It is precisely because of this that the Song Dynasty pressed and beat the Liao State in the Song-Liao War for hundreds of years, suffered heavy losses, and was fed up with humiliation, which made the Song Dynasty emperor very unhappy and wanted to train a large army that could fight well. But hundreds of years have passed, and it has not been successful.

Until now, the emergence of the Conversion Army, which has an overwhelming surname advantage, and an army as powerful as the Han and Tang Dynasties has reappeared. With this army, there is hope of defeating the Liao State and destroying the Western Xia, who can not rejoice?

Mrs. Zheng's words were not much, but they were exciting, Wu Ji, Huangfu Song, and Qi Dabao nodded heavily: "I finally saw hope!" ”

Although it is only a little hope, there is still a long way to go before the destruction of the Liao State and the Western Xia and the completion of the reunification of the country.

If the Converted Army can really carry forward and finally complete the great task of unifying the country, then, as the main participant and founder of this army, it will be a supreme glory and will forever be recorded in history!

Just when Wu Ji and the four of them sighed, the soldiers of the Returned Army were also overjoyed and discussed.

"When will we be able to fight like this? Isn't Liao Dog known as skilled in riding and shooting, invincible? One of our charges, they're all gone! ”

"It is us who are invincible, we are a charge, and the invincible Liao dog will be finished!"

"If in the past, Liaogou rushed like this, it would be us who would be finished. This is called 30 years of Hedong, 30 years of Hexi, in the past, Liao dogs were rampant, and now, it is our turn to exert power. ”

"What thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river? That's because we have Wu Du in command. If it weren't for Wu Du's command, we wouldn't have been able to defeat Liaogou. ”

"That's right, it's the credit of Commander Wu Du. Wu Du commanded honestly, did not deduct military salaries, did not oppress us, and did not oppress our family members, and gave them the opportunity to work, and the salary was very rich. ”

"We're talking about war, what do you do? Hehe, my family is working in the Wu military industry. When it comes to fighting, our Wu Du commander is this, amazing! He commanded, he didn't need to shoot an arrow in advance, he shot an arrow first and then shot it, which was a waste of fighters. With Wu Du in command, Liaogou is always in our shooting, and every step forward, we have to pay a high price. ”

"Commander Wu Du can also make sharp weapons, which weapon we use, which one is not made by Wu Du? With these sharp weapons, and with the command and planning of the wise and extraordinary Wu Du, we can't even win the battle if we want to! ”

Soldiers, every word you say, and every word I say are all words of praise for Wu Ji. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is generally good, and Wu Ji deserves such praise.

The Returning Army is the crystallization of Wu Ji's hard work, the equipment of Wu's military industry, Wu Ji's training, and Wu Ji's command, which one can be separated from Wu Ji?

"What about our casualties?" Wu Ji asked.

"Commander Wu Du, wait a minute, you are counting." Huangfu Song raised his eyebrows and said happily: "Commander Wudu, don't worry, our casualties are not large." It certainly won't be big. ”

"It's definitely not big!" Mrs. Zheng affirmed with a smile, and after a moment of conversation, he analyzed: "Commanded by Wu Du, our surrender army has an advantage and a disadvantage compared with the army of the previous dynasty. ”

"Oh!" Wu Ji didn't know much about Tang Jun, and when he heard this, he was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Make it clear." ”

"Still lacking?" Huangfu Song and Qi Dabao were also surprised, looking at Mrs. Zheng, their eyes were not instantaneous.

"This is not enough, that is, the power of the strong crossbow is not as good as that of the army of the previous dynasty." Zheng Tai is familiar with history and has a good understanding of the Tang Army: "The strong crossbows of the army of the previous dynasty often used several people, dozens of people, and hundreds of people to use one. Although the strength of the nest is not trivial, its power is not trivial, and it is shocking. Not to mention anything else, just talking about the crossbow arrow, it has the thickness of a wine glass, nearly a foot long, and this shot will be shot to death, whether it is a person or a horse. Even if you wear human meat skewers, it's not a problem. ”

Indeed, the strong crossbow has always been a unique weapon in the world in ancient China, and its long-range lethality is quite amazing. Although it is bulky, inconvenient to move, and has a lot of troops, but once it is launched, it is indestructible, and it is no different from the Mo knife, whether it is a person or a horse, shoot you an arrow first.

Once shot, it is not as simple as shooting to death, it is likely to shoot a bowl-sized blood hole in the body, and the strength of the crossbow arrow is not weakened, and it is necessary to shoot the people and horses behind.

It is conceivable that once it is time for the battle of the large army, thousands of powerful crossbows and crossbow arrows are overwhelming, what else can resist? Flesh and blood can't be stopped at all, only for slaughter, even if it's heavy armor and fine armor, it's useless.

Therefore, on the battlefield, there is often a phenomenon of a crossbow arrow shooting several people, several horses, and skewers of human flesh.

"Although the crossbow is light and agile, it is far less powerful when it comes to it. However, the crossbow is light and agile, and a single bolt cannot pierce through a man or a horse, but it can shoot through the armor, which is enough to inflict heavy damage on the enemy. Mrs. Zheng continued to dissect.

If you talk about pure lethality, the Broken Bow is too far behind the Tang Army's strong crossbow. The crossbow of the Tang Dynasty was strong and could penetrate men and horses, while the bow of the captivity could penetrate heavy armor, but could not shoot through war horses, and the gap was obvious. However, the Breaker Bow is lightweight, flexible, and easy to use, which can be compensated for in numbers.

"Besides, we still have thunderballs, and that's our advantage. Hehe, only if you want a thunderbolt in your hand, what are you afraid of? When Mrs. Zheng said this, she couldn't help but laugh heartily when she remembered the power of the thunderbolt.

He was right, the reason why the Converts were so successful in this operation was that the Converts had thunderbolts. If there were no thunderbolts, the Converts would not have been able to fight so smoothly. After all, the gap between the strong crossbows is there, far inferior to the strong crossbows of the Tang Dynasty, which gives the Liao army a chance. Fortunately, there are also thunderbombs, whether you are a human or a horse, it will be all over in one explosion.

The Song Dynasty had a divine arm bow, which was similar to the broken bow, and it was also a single crossbow, although the power was good, it was far from reaching the level of the strong crossbow of the Tang Dynasty. It is precisely because of the Divine Arm Bow that the Song Dynasty's emphasis on large strong crossbows has declined, which is also one of the reasons why the Song army's combat strength is not strong. Of course, the fundamental reason lies in the Song Dynasty itself, which was not used well.

"Brother Ji, Brother Ji, it's counted." Wu Xing shouted from afar, jumped three times and came to the front, and laughed before he could say anything: "Hehe! Brother Ji, we suffered 619 casualties, 184 killed, 262 seriously wounded and incapacitated, and the rest lightly wounded. We're almost twenty of us! One for twenty! ”

In this operation, the Converts killed and lost their combat strength, a total of 446 people, completely annihilated 8,000 Liao troops, and the casualty ratio was almost 1 to 18, which was a remarkable victory.

The ratio of combat strength estimated by historians to be 1:20 is only an approximate number, and it cannot be accurate, and it is already amazing that the Converts can have such an astonishing proportion of casualties.

"One to twenty!" Wu Ji, Zheng Tai, Huang Fu Song, and Qi Dabao exclaimed in unison, and they were a little incredulous.

"Good! Good! Good! Wu Ji said several good words in a row.

"Brother Ji, we have captured more than 5,000 war horses, more than 30,000 taels of gold and silver, which is not counting the old coins. We're hairy, we're big! Wu Xing jumped up with excitement, as if he had picked up a gold ingot.

"Good! Order, go home! Wu Ji gave an order, and the Guixin army rushed towards Guixin City with the captured and New Year's coins.
