For many years, Han Shizhong has always been very confident in his skills, and when he fought against the Jurchens in a weak state, he could still win to the death, and he was even more fearless when dealing with the soft-footed shrimp-like party members, besides, Han Shizhong and the party members were old rivals, and after joining the army at the age of eighteen until they were in their thirties, they had been fighting with the party members for more than ten years.

When the Western Army hit Xingqing Mansion at the most glorious moment, Han Shizhong was a member of the cavalry team closest to Xingqing Mansion, and even saw the city wall of Xingqing Mansion and the panicked party members on it, just a little bit, for this reason, Han Shizhong regretted it for life, and now that there is a chance to redeem it, Han Shizhong must of course firmly seize this opportunity.

The combat effectiveness of the party army has never been the strongest, and after Yue Fei and Lin Chong and a group of fierce generals were born, the iron harrier cavalry of the party army, which posed the greatest threat to the western army, also fell into decline, first Lin Chong and Luda shook the 30,000 cavalry of the Iron Harrier head-on, and then Yue Fei burned 30,000 iron harriers, completely killing the elite and ordinary cavalry of more than 60,000 iron harriers of the party members, and severely suppressed the cavalry of the party members.

The infantry of the Dangxiang people has never been the opponent of the Great Song Dynasty, although there was a divine arm bow very early, but later the Great Song Dynasty also got the manufacturing method of the divine arm bow, since then, the Great Song Dynasty, which has strong financial resources and national strength, has the upper hand in the infantry, and the Dangxiang people can only rely on the threat of cavalry, after the cavalry is suppressed, the Dangxiang people can only retreat step by step.

They were rescued by the invasion of the Jurchens before, and they survived for several years, but they finally recovered a little bit of strength, and the total combat strength of the party was about 200,000. Counting the auxiliaries and the people who transported grain, it was probably between 300,000 and 400,000. The Battle of Song and Xia in the last years of Xuanhe caused heavy losses to the Dangxiang army, with more than 100,000 soldiers. After that, there were still 20,000 or 30,000 wounded and sick who died limited to medical standards, and to this day, the total number of soldiers that the party members can still make up is about 80,000.

The number of troops attacking Luyi Fort was about 40,000, which was indeed half of the remaining strength of the party members, and during the last few years, seeing that it was impossible to continue to expand the army, the party and the royal family wanted to break their heads, and they could only train in various ways. In the early days of the war, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Song army, he captured several castles and killed seven or eight hundred Song troops.

After the Song army came to its senses, part of the main force of the Yan Yan army, which was in charge of border defense, drove into the front line of Luyibao, confronted the party army, stabilized the battle line, and laid the foundation for the Song army to win the next battle. Zhe Keqiu's son Zhi Yanwen led the army to hold the defensive line and did not let the party army take another step forward.

When Han Shizhong led the army to arrive at a gallop, it was when the Dangxiang army launched an attack with 20,000 infantry, and Zhi Yanwen fought hard for many days. The strength gradually declined, and there were some unstoppable postures, and Han Shizhong did not immediately send troops to assist in the battle. Instead, he immediately sent scouts to investigate the situation and the surrounding terrain, and chose a small road behind the flank of the Western Xia army. Led the army to suddenly kill, most of the banners. The shouting and killing was very loud, and he still used gunpowder shells to bluff, which made the party and the army unclear why they thought that the Song army was coming to help.

The famous generals and marshals in the party army were completely damaged in the battle of Song Xia in the last years of Xuanhe, and were killed countless by Yue Feilin Chong Luda and others, with heavy casualties, and now the top is either the old guy or the little guy, although the old guy is experienced, but he is too old, his physical strength can't keep up, his brain is not bright, he is easy to do bad things, the little guy is inexperienced, and he is easy to be deceived, and Han Shizhong, an old and cunning guy, is at the peak of both experience and physical strength, and is naturally more powerful.

The commander of the army of the party is an old guy, speaking of which is still a figure twenty years ago, Renduo Baozhong, twenty years ago, Renduo Baozhong as a famous general in the party led the army to fight against the Great Song Dynasty many times, and then somehow, the plot to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty was discovered, did not die, but was dismissed, house arrest, twenty years, actually did not die, and lived to this day.

At this time, Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun was seriously ill for a long time, the successive defeats of the army and the gradual withering of famous generals made him afraid of becoming ill and bedridden, and his son Li Renxiao was too young to take on heavy responsibilities, so he was regent by his mother, and the result was a mess, if it were not for the rebellion of Fangla and the invasion of the Jurchens, the Western Xia would have already perished.

Three or four years later, Li Qianshun did not slow down, the general can get up to deal with state affairs, the body is still very weak, and the long-term bed bed makes Li Qianshun gradually lose control of the government, control of the army, the state power gradually fell into the hands of his wife Cao clan, Li Qianshun is sick and weak, and has no time to carry out political struggle, although he thinks that he should not send troops to fight at this time, but in the face of his wife, the mother of the future emperor, he thought about it, and still did not object.

But who will be in charge?

Sick disease, dead death, the famous generals of Western Xia withered away, looking for it, and released Renduo Baozhong, who had been under house arrest for 20 years, worshiped as a general, and made up for the past, but now Renduo Baozhong is over 70 years old, and he is really old and faint, and he is useless, but he is still enabled.

His subordinates are not very capable generals, a group of hairy boys, more than brave, lack of resourcefulness, know that they hit and rush, but captured a few castles of the Song army, but then they were blocked by the prepared army of the Song army, and several battles in a row were not smooth, and they were driven back, Renduo was loyal and anxious and angry, but there was nothing to do.

Looking at the weakness of the army under his command and the incompetence of the generals, Renduo Baozhong truly felt that the Great Xia Kingdom was constantly weakening.

As a result, Han Shizhong came, with the cavalry to kill quickly, the soldiers divided the road with gunpowder bullets, and the unprepared party army was blown apart, and when he caught a horse party general, he pounced on him and fell off his horse with a knife, he never thought that it was the deputy marshal of the whole army, the general of the party royal family, and the deputy marshal died, and the party army was in chaos.

Han Shizhong took advantage of the victory to pursue, the party army stationed around Luyi Fort as a target, the party was defeated and retreated without order, disrupting the formation and camp of the party army, the party army that originally had the strength of a battle was rushed by the defeated army, it was messed up, Renduo Baozhong saw that the situation was not good, and immediately ran away with oil on the soles of his feet, and was under house arrest for 20 years, his courage was gone, he was much smarter, he didn't want to explain his life here, he took the lead and ran, as soon as he ran, the party army was in chaos.

The cavalry of the Song army is 3,000, the number is not much, the killing is the blood of the people for the blood horses, Han Shizhong is specially looking for people who look like generals to start, a cut and a quasi, finally met a person who can fight, twenty or thirty rounds of fighting did not play a victory, but was killed by the crossbow arrows of the army behind, an arrow hit the brain, very accurate.

Han Shizhong was furious: "Who robbed Lao Tzu of his exploits!?" ”

As a result, there was chaos on the battlefield, who shot this arrow, he couldn't find it, but even if it was, he pulled out the arrow, cut off the head of the fierce general with a knife, and hung it on his saddle, just regarded it as his own military exploits, anyway, no one knew what was going on, and Han Powu's character was brought into full play here.

Zhi Yanwen led the infantry as the main force to kill the remnants of the Dangxiang army, Han Shizhong led the army to pursue the fast-running Dangxiang army, and chased all the way from Luyibao to the original Songxia border, only to be blocked by the border guards of the Dangxiang army, and let go of the arrows and scolded for a while, before slowly retreating.

The battle of Luyibao in the fourth year of Jingkang ended with a complete victory for the Song army, about 10,000 Song troops broke through 40,000 party troops, beheaded more than 8,000, captured more than 5,000, and the remaining group of people fled to death, which was no longer a climate, and when Yue Fei led the main force of the army to arrive, Han Shizhong was counting the number of heads, according to the new military regulations of the Great Song Dynasty, military merit was calculated according to the beheaded head, which was a part of the military reform proposed by Yue Tuo.

According to the severed head to calculate the military merits, when the army fights, the soldiers are responsible for killing the enemy, and the auxiliaries are responsible for writing down the beheaded person, and cutting off the head, and then the soldiers and auxiliaries distribute the reward and merit in the ratio of eighty-two, the soldiers are not allowed to stop and cut off the head, and the auxiliaries are not allowed to go into battle to kill the enemy casually, and the two sides share the merits.

According to this distribution law, the army's military merit calculation is very transparent, and everyone is not dissatisfied, there is no need to worry that they have no merit, and the auxiliary soldiers used as miscellaneous servants also have the confidence to live, Han Shizhong abides by such regulations, hands over the number of heads to Yue Fei, and then happily prepares to accept the reward.

"Cut off the heads of seven generals, and the head of a deputy marshal, Han Shizhong, your military merits are very great!" Yue Fei looked at the battle report in his hand and said to Han Shizhong with a smile.

Han Shizhong's head was high, and he said with a smile: "That's natural, don't hide it from the marshal, the last general joined the army at the age of eighteen, and it has been more than 20 years, and he has also fought with the party people for more than 20 years, and he is so familiar with the party people that he can't be familiar with it anymore, those fools also rely on Ma Duo's good health, and the rest don't know anything, now that the Great Song army has been trained, they are naturally not our opponents, and with a little trickery, this group of fools will be defeated!" Hahaha! ”

Han Shizhong's smug appearance made Yue Fei amused and angry, and felt that he should always beat this old boy, otherwise this old boy would definitely make trouble in the future, so Yue Fei took out another piece of information and said to Han Shizhong: "What does the information that Ben Shuai got say that three of the seven generals you killed were shot by stray arrows, and you picked them up?" ”

As soon as Yue Fei's words came out, Han Shizhong was shocked: "Who made a small report!" ”

Yue Fei threw the information in front of Han Shizhong and rolled his eyes: "This rule was set by Yue Xiang at the beginning, he would naturally think that there would be an old pimple like you who would shamelessly seize military merits, there are countless people on the battlefield whose eyes are staring at those generals, and everyone knows the number of deaths, and there are people who are specifically responsible for recording the military exploits of generals, don't think that if there are many people on the battlefield, no one will know what you old boy has done!"
