Chapter Seventy-Three: The Great War Is Imminent
At night, Pinghuangzhai, Xixia military camp. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe military camps and barracks of each tribe are divided according to the degree of elite, and the Xiangyou Army and the Capture Army are the elite guards on both sides of the Chinese army. The rest of the small army was scattered along the side. Several Western Xia soldiers roasted meat by the bonfire, and the crackling sound of chopping wood, mixed with the smell of fireworks, made the eyes of these soldiers full of greedy greed.
As a state established by force, since the founding of the country, this nominally state, but in fact a loose organization dominated by tribes, has survived to the present day, and is almost a large tribe of slavery in the Western Xia. Therefore, the low productivity and scarce grain can not meet the national production and life of the Western Xia at all, so they basically rely on plundering the surrounding Tubo and the Great Song Dynasty to obtain supplies to maintain the rule of the Western Xia Kingdom, but unfortunately in recent years, the state affairs of the Western Xia are also declining, and the Tubo and Qiang people in the northwest have become more and more disobedient to the deployment of the Western Xia on the side of the Great Snow Mountain, and they even want to fight against the Western Xia. Therefore, the only one who can rely on looting to obtain supplies is the huge Great Song Dynasty in the south.
Therefore, since Li Yuanhao, most of the troops of the Western Xia Kingdom were placed in Hengshan and Shaanxi, and they relied on the grass valley to fight the Song people at any time to support their lives. And since Xining, with the strong battle between the seed army and the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, the benefits of plundering in the Western Xia have become less and less, and even when the Empress Liang was in power, the Great Song Dynasty's five-way summer strategy was almost captured by their capital Xingqing Mansion, if it were not for the Western Xia relying on the advantages of the terrain and the Song people's greed for merit, seizing the opportunity to defeat the Song army in the battle of Haoshuichuan, the Western Xia would really be swallowed by the Great Song Dynasty. Fortunately, the current Great Song Dynasty was almost beaten into the capital by the terrifying Dajin Dynasty in the north, which finally gave the Western Xia a chance to breathe, and the most happy thing was the nightmare of the Western Xia people, the seed master of the seed army also died, and this time it was even more so that his brother was besieged in Linzhou, as long as he took these, the Western Xia might be able to bite the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.
In the tent of the commander of the Chinese army, Wei Mingji was sitting on the side of the handsome case, and the bright pine resin torch illuminated the big tent, illuminating the face of this Western Xia veteran more and more dark. As a veteran of the three generations of Western Xia, Wei Mingji has gone through Yizong Li Liangzuo, Huizong Li Bingchang, Chongzong Li Qianshun, and has also experienced the auxiliary government of Liang Hou, the end is the patriarch of the three dynasties, and the absolute is the important minister of the Western Xia Dynasty.
Wei Mingji was not tall, wearing a set of velvet armor in a half-brocade robe, and a pair of yellow-brown eyes flashed like a falcon under the lamplight. The two rows of guards stood motionless, and there were two Western Xia generals in armor who respectfully guarded Wei Mingji's side. Wei Mingji looked at the map on the handsome case and couldn't stop tapping the edge of the handsome case with his fingers, making bursts of clattering sounds.
"Hmm, is there any news from Helian Hu?" Famous Ji Road.
"General Helian is also almost there, Linzhou has been out of food for more than ten days, and there are no reinforcements, so I can't hold on for long." One side of the pro-general.
"Humph! Rubbish! More than 20,000 troops were stunned and couldn't capture Linzhou Mansion! Send someone to tell Helian Hu that for three days, the old man will only give him three days, and if he can't capture Linzhou in another three days, let him stop being in charge of the more than 10,000 military horses, and come to see him himself! "Wei Mingjidao.
"Marshal, after all, General Helian is the head of the Helian family, and he is also very close to His Majesty, if you really want to ask for the crime, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Your Majesty to explain." The pro-general said hard.
"Humph! Just him? There is no need to worry about it, how powerful was the Yeli family back then, and how is it now? Isn't it also a small tribe, the Helian clan doesn't dare to do anything even if it is a big clan, if you can't complete the task before the battle, you should be killed, I have been graced for more than ten days, and now there is still no progress, just by virtue of this, the old man cut off his head, and he has nothing to be wronged! ”
"That's what the boss said!" The pro-general said respectfully.
"If what I expected is right, that former Liao Yelu Dashi must not be able to work, and he is hiding behind and waiting to pick up ready-made, hum! How can there be such a good thing, what good things can there be in the former Liao remnants, I persuaded His Majesty not to keep this group of remnants that day, just hand it over to the Jin Dynasty directly, hum, now this group of birds is becoming more and more disobedient, wait for me to clean up the Western Army of the Song Kingdom, and then clean up the group of former Liao remnants! "Wei Mingjidao.
"What the marshal said is extremely true, the former Liao group of lonely ministers and sinners are still delusional about restoring what Liao State, it is just wishful thinking, and when the marshal cleans up the group of pigs and dogs in the Song Kingdom, then those small ones are just minced meat on the chopping board." The pro-general flattered.
"Don't underestimate that Yelu Dashi, this person is definitely an idle person!" Wei Mingji groaned.
"What about the Western Army over there in the Song Kingdom?" Kiss the way.
Hmph, the current Great Song Western Army is no longer the Song Army that can fight under the command of the old thing that planted Hubei, and there was originally an old thing that was a kind of teacher, but now that the old man is dead, the entire Western Army is just a plate of scattered sand. The talent in the division is average, and he can't command the Western Army, otherwise he wouldn't let us besiege Linzhou, as for the Zhejia Army and the Yao Family Army, hmph, they are all things without eggs, and they are not enough! Wei Mingji looked stunned and proud, this Western Xia general who had been conquering for half his life did have the strength to say this.
"According to the marshal, it seems that the southerners have no army to fight." Another pro-general.
"I heard that the latest team called the Yongding Army has appeared in the Song Kingdom, and the Jin people have resisted a lot of tough battles, it is said that Dajin's Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan have a lot to do with the Yongding Army in the Song Kingdom." That pro-general said.
"It's just that everyone is in the clouds, I'm afraid that it will be blown up by others, and the Jin country's military strength is afraid that there are few opponents in the world." The general said.
"Yongding Army? Hehe, the old man has also heard of it, and I heard that the name of the person who formed this team is Liu Ping, the blood tiger of the Northland, and it is said that he is only in the year of the weak crown. It's also a young hero, hehe. It's been a long time since such a character has been born, who was the last one? Hmm, it seems to be Di Qing of the Song Kingdom, and our Yeli Rongwang general back then, the old man really wants to see it. Wei Mingji had a hideous look on his face.
"Dashuai, those are just small groups, I'm afraid they are all deceitful and famous. Don't be afraid! The pro-general said with a look of indifference.
"Smack!" Wei Mingji waved his hand and slapped the general in the face.
"Bastard! It's really no one! The Central Plains is vast, although the imperial dynasty there is cowardly, but don't forget, that place is also a place where countless fierce generals have killed gods, besides, how do you think my Great Xia Kingdom was established? His Majesty Taizu of my Great Xia Kingdom inherited the legacy of the Tang Dynasty back then! ”
"The subordinates are abrupt! Please punish the commander! The pro-general knelt down and said.
"Get up!" Wei Mingji said lightly.
"Thank you!" The pro-general stood up with a flushed face and said.
"Sagetu, you are also the handsome of the younger generation of my Great Xia Kingdom, don't think that what you see in Xingqing Mansion is the whole world, this world is very big, and in this world, there is no shortage of heroes and heroes!" Famous Ji Road.
"Grace Shuai's teachings, subordinates remember!" The pro-general named Sagetu said respectfully
"There's no news from Wegu yet?" Famous Ji Road.
"Returning to the handsome, not yet! But it should be soon! Another general on one side said.
"The time is almost up, as long as Wei Gu's 20,000 iron harriers are ready, tonight ugly time will begin to prepare to attack the Song army camp. When the time comes, send a signal to Wei Gu and go straight to the North Col from Heishawo, even if it is a night attack, it is just an hour's effort, as long as you wait for the news, a frontal assault, and a flank cavalry suppression, you can directly rush to kill the Song army camp. Kill them by surprise! Wei Mingji stood up suddenly, his eyes full of triumphant arrogance.
"Handsome and handsome! The Song people will be defeated! The general said respectfully.
At this moment, a general reported that Wegu's cavalry had sent a letter and was ready. Wei Mingji smiled and said, "Tonight is Song Jun's death day!" ”
Tonight's wind is very loud, as a northwest frontier land, the environment is bitterly cold, at this moment Kong Daya with a team of five or six Yongding army scouts like a group of black monkeys, covered in mud, buried his whole body in the soil, using dry grass to block his head, leaving only two eyes to stare at the Western Xia cavalry army in the distance. At this moment, they are only three miles away from the high slope of the cavalry of the Western Thieves, and if they are ordinary people, they will not be able to see clearly from a mile away in the night, but these scout sergeants are all selected, and their eyes are very good. Therefore, at night, by the light of the West Thief, you can already see a rough idea. It's just that the distance at this moment is too close, and the danger factor is extremely high.
"Phew! This group of thieves seems to have made a move. "Hole big tooth said.
"Captain Kong, how do you know?" A sergeant Yongding on one side asked.
"How can anyone feed the horses fodder in the middle of the night, and the cavalry eat in the middle of the night." Hole large tooth tract.
"Well, it looks like you're trying to do a night attack." Yongding sergeant road.
"And do you see that the cavalry in the distance are all kneeling together after eating, kneeling in groups to the sky?" Hole large tooth tract.
"Yes, really, what's going on?" The Yongding military captain said in a low voice.
"This is the habit of the western thieves, they want to worship the sky before the expedition, it seems that this group of miscellaneous people is really going to attack at night." Kong Daya spit out the grass roots in his mouth and said, It is estimated that he will attack in another hour or two.
"Hurry up and pass the news to Liu Hou!" A hint of anxiety flashed in Kong Daya's eyes.
"No!" A Yongding army slowly wriggled out of the earth, creeping back little by little, hiding in the darkness.
In the Yongding army camp, all the generals and Liu Ping did not rest.
When Liu Ping arrived at the news, he laughed and said, "Okay! It's finally time for the movement of this group of grandchildren. Three more! Send someone to send a letter to Wu Jie, saying that there are Xixia people attacking the camp tonight, so let them take precautions as soon as possible. ”
"No!" Yang Sanduo answered the words, turned around and went out to send someone to summon him.
"All the generals obey the order!" Liu Ping turned around and said.
"Tonight, the western thieves attacked the camp of the western army, and then we moved with our cameras and counter-surrounded from behind. Eat this group of thieves in one bite! There is no confidence~! Liu Ping said.
"Yes!!" The generals said.
