In May and June, the trees are green. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but walking in the wilderness of the northwest, there are many abrupt mountains and mountains, and there are no patches of green.

Lin Zhao looked at it in his eyes, and his face was a little more worried. This was the Song Dynasty, and the vegetation destruction of the Loess Plateau was so serious, and the soil erosion of thousands of ravines was also intensifying.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, large-scale palaces were built and many trees were cut down. Since then, this land has been plagued by wars, the Sui and Tang dynasties against the Turks, the Song Dynasty against the Liaoxia, and the Loess Plateau are all the hardest hit areas of the war, so there are not a few vegetation destroyed. In recent years, the Song Dynasty implemented a fortress defense system in the northwest, and once again large-scale logging was carried out during the construction process......

The combination of many factors, coupled with the cold climate of the Song and Song dynasties, caused serious damage to the trees and vegetation on the Loess Plateau and even in the entire Yellow River Basin, and soil erosion was also exacerbated. Ecological destruction will inevitably lead to disaster, and the flooding of the Yellow River is the best manifestation of this.

The Yellow River breached one after another in the Great Song Dynasty, and the increasingly serious floods were caused by this. Lin Zhao knows very well that the most fundamental thing to solve the flood of the Yellow River is to maintain water and soil. This is a long-term process, and it is naturally not easy. In particular, almost all of the upper reaches of the Yellow River were in the hands of Western Xia and Tibet.

Therefore, if you want to cure the Yellow River, you must first defeat them. It is better to unify the northwest so that we can take overall action and start to solve the flood problem of the Yellow River.

Now, Lin Zhao is working hard for such a thing, and today's goal is to lure the snake out of the hole, and that snake is the iron harrier that Western Xia is proud of.

Although he didn't know the exact location of the Iron Harrier at the moment, his bait appeared openly, just as Di Qing said. Lin Zhao also really wanted to verify it and see if he was the bait. Can you attract the Western Xia Iron Horse!

"Dongyang, will the Xixia people really come?" Chong Yong already knew that the purpose of their trip was not to rescue Jialu Village, but to have another purpose. For Lin Zhao's speculation, Chong Yong did not object, but he was somewhat curious.

Lin Zhao smiled: "Kind of old general." Actually, I'm not sure, I just feel this way, after all, Liang Yi buried it back! He hates me so much! Of course, the point is the hatred of the Empress Dowager Liang, but those romantic things must not be spoken.

Although it seems that speaking out can be a bit of a show, making the Tangut people gnash their teeth. But Lin Zhao is not the kind of prodigal son who shows off. Because of this, we can't tell the truth to those guys in Bianjing who are full of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, and let them impeach themselves about their personal style.

"Huh!"

The simple answer is undoubtedly a little embarrassing. After all, this matter is a bit reckless, a bit like a gamble. It is reasonable for Chong Yong to have doubts.

Lin Zhao smiled awkwardly and replied, "The kid is a little reckless, but even if the Xixia people don't appear, we can join forces with the Fuzhou Zhejia to attack Jialu Village, or attack Jingzhou." If the Tangut people appeared, the old general thought about it, and annihilated the Iron Harrier, which would be famous all over the world. A feat that will go down in history! ”

At the mention of this, Chong Yong was excited, and the Iron Harrier was the most elite cavalry in Western Xia. If it can be defeated, let alone what kind of earth-shattering reputation it can get. The pleasure and pride in my heart alone can be extremely satisfying. As a soldier, is there anything cooler than defeating a tough opponent?

"It's just ......" said Chong Yong: "Dongyang, the Iron Harrier is an elite cavalry after all, can we do it with five thousand people?" "The fourth is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to have meaningless sacrifices, and he hopes to win the battle safely.

"Old general, you look at the weather, you are sweating in ordinary armor, let alone heavy armor?" Lin Zhao smiled: "Why do I want to bring light cavalry out, the mobility is better, it's a big deal, if you can't beat it, you just run." ”

"Chopping up the cavalry, chopping down the horse's legs, that sounds very good!" Chong Yong muttered to himself: "Dongyang has never encountered the Iron Harrier, but it is a familiar feeling? ”

Lin Zhao naturally couldn't tell Chong Yong that this was a method that a general named Yue Fei in later generations tested on Jin Guotie Futu. Now that history is inadvertently changing, Wanyan Aguta is happily growing up in the Great Song Dynasty, can the Jurchens still rise? Will the Iron Float still appear? It's still unknown.

"Try it and you'll know, there is General Lao!" Lin Zhao didn't know how to answer, whether the solution was available, and whether it would work or not would be known after the actual combat test.

Chong Yong knew that Lin Zhao had another backhand, and the strategy of Wudinghe had begun, and the seed family had to play an extremely important role in it, as long as it succeeded, it would definitely be a great achievement. Therefore, Lin Zhao's arrangement should try his best to cooperate, even if it is a little risky, he is obliged.

"Good!" The old man is looking forward to reproducing the majestic wind on the battlefield.

Since you want to be bait, you naturally have to be high-profile, and you can be described as a trick along the way, lest others not know about their existence.

Sure enough, the fool who had been hiding near Jingzhou soon received the news.

This time, he led 3,000 Iron Harriers to attack, although the total number of Iron Harriers' troops was as high as 5,000. But there is also a very practical problem that must be considered, the Empress Dowager Liang and the country are in Suizhou, and there must be pro-army escorts in the war. After all, the Iron Harrier is nominally the protector of the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, and at such an important moment, he cannot lose his own duties.

Although there were only 3,000 people, and the enemy's strength was as high as 5,000, he didn't care at all and didn't worry about it. He knew the combat effectiveness of the Iron Harrier, and the role played by 3,000 people on the battlefield was no worse than that of 30,000 people. is worthy of 5,000 Song troops, naturally he is not an opponent, and he is very confident in this.

Ever since Empress Dowager Liang asked him to lead the Iron Harrier into battle, Meng Meng has been keenly aware that this is a great opportunity, a good opportunity to take revenge. As long as he wins this battle, it will be the capital for him to turn over, whether it is in the Western Xia court or in the mind of the Empress Dowager Liang, so he must not miss it.

At the same time, he was able to take revenge on the "big enemy" Lin Zhao, which was really comforting. At that time, the ruby scam made him pay a painful price, but he still remembered it. And he vaguely felt that every time Lin Zhao was mentioned, Empress Dowager Liang's expression changed abnormally. Could it be that there is something between them? He had vaguely such suspicions. Although it was only a little suspicion, it also made him jealous. Even more irritated.

Therefore, leading the Iron Harrier to fight this time is not only a battle of turning over, but also a battle of revenge, so he is very attentive to it. Empress Dowager Liang had a prediction before, after attacking Jialuzhai and threatening Fuzhou. Lin Zhao cares about his wife and eldest brother, and he will definitely deal with it. If Lin Zhao rushed to Jialu Village, it would naturally be the best, if not, then Iron Harrier would cooperate with Tuoba Shi's army to directly attack Yanzhou.

He had been paying close attention to Lin Zhao's movements, waiting for an opportunity to move. Soon after, the news came that Lin Zhao personally led the army to counterattack Jialu Village.

I was very happy. The strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements is really good. Jialuzhai is a good bait, and now Lin Zhao is biting the hook. Then it's time for your side to start closing the net. The three thousand iron harriers were very confident in the five thousand Song army, as if they had seen the dawn of victory and saw the scene of Lin Zhao being trampled under his feet.

So, three thousand iron harriers immediately dispatched from Jingzhou to attack, waiting for the arrival of the Song army halfway. As for someone suggesting an ambush, she shook her head slightly. And not seriously. How effective can an ambush be? After all, the number of people is limited, and it is enough to kill it by surprise. In the frontal fight, Song Jun is definitely not an opponent. How could he have fallen into the prestige of the Iron Harrier because of this? Reduced deterrence of the Song army?

Maybe it's the strength of the Iron Harrier that makes him forgetful, or maybe it's jealousy and hatred that make him a little impulsive. His sortie was somewhat rash. Waiting for work and waiting for the rabbit was made by him into a situation where the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.

The situation of the Iron Harrier, the Bright Moon Sect has already detected it, and knows its movements at any time. vaguely felt that the Iron Harrier might deal with him, so Lin Zhao and Di Qing had already made plans and were ready to fight back. It's a matter of mutual calculation, and the comparison is who is smarter.

Of course, sometimes it has to be better than anyone's luck.

Regarding the movements of the Iron Harrier, Lin Zhao got the news almost immediately. Chong Yong was curious about how Lin Zhao did it so quickly?

The existence of the Mingyue Sect is a secret, so it can only be said to be the result of the investigation by the Fuzhou scouts. The Zhejia family has been operating in the cloud for more than two years, with a deep foundation, and the perfection of the intelligence system is a thing for all to see, so there is no doubt about it. For the time being, the explanation is clear, Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that when he goes back to Fuzhou, he must confess to Zhe Wenxin. Of course, whether to continue to conceal that matter and how to explain it to Zhe Wenxin, Lin Zhao was a little embarrassed.

But at the moment, I can't take care of so much, and dealing with the iron harrier is the key.

There are still hundreds of miles away from Jialu Village, and Lin Zhao received news that he was about to encounter the Iron Harrier. It was also at this time that Lin Zhao knew that the commander of the Iron Harrier was a fool, but he had nothing to do with it, and he had never encountered it head-on when he was in Fuzhou, and Li Cheng and Jiang Leiting were responsible for those deceptions and blockades. Therefore, Lin Zhao didn't know that he hated himself, and many times the mentality and personal preferences of the commander also had a great impact on the outcome of the battle.

Knowing that the Iron Harrier was waiting halfway, Lin Zhao was very excited, and Chong Yong was also relieved. As expected, this was a great concern for their faith. Since the first step was guessed, those next plans are naturally not far behind. The generals of the Song army were all gearing up and eager to try......

Especially when he learned that the Iron Harrier had an ambush and was waiting halfway, Lin Zhao was even more excited. This saves a lot of things, and it can be seen that the other party is more conceited, and the arrogant soldiers are not necessarily defeated, but they are much easier to deal with. And it's so easy to engage the other party, so that the next strategy can be implemented...... Lin Zhao smiled lightly, and after a slight discussion with Chong Yong, he immediately made arrangements......

Waiting for the rabbit on the way, although there is no real ambush, but it is also hidden, and it is the best to be surprised. The hard work paid off, and after a lot of waiting, Song Jun finally came.

I saw the high flag from a distance, and the word "Lin" on it was very obvious, which was obviously a representative of Lin Zhao's identity. He looked at it in his eyes, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He didn't notice the sweat dripping from the soldier's forehead, and the horse seemed to shake uncomfortably. He just looked at the approaching enemy in front of him, and when the Song army approached, he ordered the whole line to be killed.

Not to mention, the momentum of the three thousand iron harriers is extraordinary. After all, it was a heavily armored cavalry, and the charge was absolutely overwhelming, with dust in the sky and rumbling horses' hooves. The momentum is huge, and the power is even more amazing.

The Song army was caught off guard. When he was about to line up to resist, he was rushed open a gap by the iron harrier. Immediately made a mess, the impact of the heavily armored cavalry was not covered.

With a cold smile, he immediately mobilized the army to continuously attack, and the Song army suddenly had a completely chaotic formation, and it was impossible to launch effective resistance at all. Hussars in defenseless. How can you be an opponent of the heavy cavalry? Especially the head-on fight, it is simply to hit the stone with an egg, and it is not an opponent at all.

In an instant, the Song army was completely in chaos, not to mention the casualties, at least it was completely chaotic. It was impossible to organize resistance, and it was not even possible to find out where the generals were. Confidence also seems to have been greatly damaged, and it can even be said that it is frightened. When they saw the situation, they scattered and fled, and they became a mess.

The reckless cuteness is very proud, and the combat effectiveness of the Iron Harrier will naturally not be wrong, and the effect is very obvious. The Song army was defeated and retreated faster than expected, but he didn't find Lin Zhao in the battle circle, which made him a little regretful. Song Jun fled, maybe Lin Zhao was caught in it, and he was willing to let go of the opportunity. Immediately order the Iron Harrier to pursue.

The Song army is a light cavalry, and it may not be enough to fight head-on, but it is much faster to escape. However, in the eyes of Meng Meng, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this situation. On the contrary, he felt that the Song army was fleeing from the wind, and he was even more proud in his heart, and ordered the army to pursue quickly, and it was necessary to annihilate the Song army, focusing on capturing Lin Zhao alive.

He was eager to win, and he didn't notice a problem. Over there, the Iron Harrier is a heavy cavalry, and the weight of the soldiers and the horses themselves are not light, and they are bold and powerful when they charge head-on. However, there was a problem with running long distances, and the soldiers pursued with heavy armor and were very tired.

In addition, it is June again, and in the middle of summer, the sky is shining brightly, and the temperature is not ordinarily high. Standing in heavy armor will make you sweat, let alone run wildly. If it is a light cavalry, there will be a certain cool breeze on the face during the fast running time to soothe the heat. But the iron harriers are different, the heavy armor on their bodies completely cancels out the effect of the cool breeze, and the heat is getting more and more unbearable. After running for a short time, one by one they were sweating profusely, panting, and their faces were even redder, exhausted, and even began to have symptoms of heat stroke......

It's okay to say that it can be held. But the war horse is different, the heavy cavalry, the weight of the war horse is more than twice as much as usual. It doesn't matter if it's just for a short time, it doesn't matter if you're fighting a short distance on the battlefield, but it's more annoying to run.

After a period of pursuit, even the first-class Xixia Liangma was out of breath, and even foamed at the mouth. Even if the leather whip was drawn, the war horse refused to continue to ...... The party members who grew up on horseback knew that if they continued, the horse's lungs might explode, and they would definitely not be able to run any further......

Seeing such a situation, Meng Meng was very displeased, but he was helpless. Looking at the red-faced and sweaty soldiers, he was very helpless, and he really fell short today......

But a moment later, the earth suddenly rumbled, and when he saw the banner of the Song army again, he realized that something was wrong. There was a sudden coolness on his back, a bit of a bone-chilling coolness, and a strong uneasiness in his heart.

The Song army is back, and it is the neat appearance of the army......

At this moment, the iron harriers were exhausted, and they were extremely hot, and even some of the cavalry had symptoms of heat stroke. Many soldiers simply took off their heavy armor in order to cool off. At this moment, the Song army suddenly came back, and there was no time to put on clothes, and there was no way to organize effective resistance. Both men and horses are in a very bad state, and their combat effectiveness is reduced, and they are not doing what they usually do.

I have to say that Empress Dowager Liang made a mistake. The Iron Harrier is elite, but the heavy cavalry is only suitable for charging and killing on the frontal battlefield, playing the role of attacking the army formation and tearing the defense line. It is definitely not suitable for long-range harassment and pursuit, and she does not know much about military affairs, so she ignores this issue. Thinking that the Iron Harrier was their most elite army, it was the best way to deal with Lin Zhao......

Of course, if the iron harrier is placed in Jialu Village, or if it is somewhere else to face off with the Song army. Or if it is an ambush halfway, the effect will be obvious. But the partiality of the command is reckless, and the Empress Dowager Liang is thinking that the reckless and deceitful is the person around her, trustworthy, and it is more reassuring to hand over the elite to him. At the same time, I also hope that he can make achievements and increase his qualifications to strengthen the strength around him, after all, there are not many people available around her.

However, it seems that some mud can't support the wall, too eager for quick success, too conceited, eager to win, and has made mistakes in command.

Lin Zhao seized this opportunity, after the battle between the thousand army and the iron harrier, defeat and retreat were inevitable. They are not opponents in the head-to-head competition, they are bound to lose, since this is the case, then simply retreat......

The light cavalry is good at running, and the hot weather is the best helper, and the heavy armor becomes a burden to the iron harriers, and their defeat and fleeing are actually the best way to exhaust the army.

Now, when the Western Xia Iron Harrier was exhausted, the Song army suddenly killed it back. The situation of the unexpected has been completely reversed.

Seeing such a situation, I have fully understood. Regret is inevitable, but the most important thing is to deal with the situation, which in his opinion is not so bad. Although the combat power has declined, the Iron Harrier is still strong and can fight with the Song army......
