Zhang Xian has been in a state of war since he joined the Western Army six years ago, and the battlefield is the best teacher, although Zhang Xian has not been instructed by a famous teacher, but in the general environment before the Great Song Dynasty, famous generals and military strategists cannot appear, Zhang Xian was only a fierce general at that time, fighting and rushing, under the premise of a strong Western Army, showing his edge.

However, since the start of the Song-Jin War, Zhang Xian has experienced dozens of battles, no one covers for him, no one takes responsibility for him, plans the strategy, after the initial discomfort and defeat, Zhang Xian has gradually become a general who can take charge alone, among the generals of the Northwest Sixth Army, Li Yanxian ranks first, and the second is Zhang Xian.

Although the Wu brothers are capable, but their real strength is defense, Wu Ling is better than Wu Jue, there is a set of commanding cavalry, Wu Jue is a super defensive general, the overall situation is extremely strong, so it is not limited to guards, Yue Fei handed over the defense of a long section of the Great Wall to him, Wu Jue can hand in a perfect answer, but when it comes to attack, Wu Jue is not as good as Wu Ling, Li Yanxian and Zhang Xian.

Li Yanxian has a strong view of the overall situation, has read books, understands the art of war, has a strong ability to command the army, and has a super ability to adapt to the situation, the only shortcoming is that his own combat effectiveness is not strong, and he cannot personally lead the soldiers and horses to charge, so he has a big shortcoming in the cavalry, and Zhang Xian is just the opposite, in the hundreds of battles in the Western Army, Zhang Xian has a very strong ability to command the cavalry, and the ability to command the battle is also very strong, and the ability to interpret the battle situation is also the best choice.

Moreover, Zhang Xian's personal combat effectiveness is also super strong, if Han Shizhong's combat effectiveness is at the level of a livestock, Zhang Xian is a little worse than Han Shizhong. It is considered to be at the level of Shennongjia savages, in the entire Western Army. When it comes to personal combat effectiveness, it is definitely Yue Fei, the tyrannosaurus, who is the first. The previous second was Zhang Xian, and now it is the livestock Han Shizhong, and the savage Zhang Xian retreated to the third.

But whether it should be said or not, the personal bravery of the main general can still drive the morale of the army to a considerable extent, not that the main general personally led the army to charge, and the atmosphere of the main generals fighting each other was not much after the Han Dynasty, the definition of the general is to strategize the battlefield command, rather than charging into battle, and any general has hundreds of personal guards on the battlefield. Live only for the main general, and fight to ensure the safety of the main general's life.

If the main general dies in battle, then the pro-soldier guards will also be all beheaded, and the meaning of the existence of the pro-soldier guards is that before they are completely annihilated, the main general must ensure the safety of his life, so whether the main general's personal force is strong or not also has great significance for the pro-soldier guards, just like every time Li Yanxian commands a battle, his pro-soldiers and guards are very worried. Tuan Tuan protected him.

Being able to charge with the army like Lu Bu is the limit of a general's personal bravery, most generals will not fight on the battlefield in person, and the generals of the Great Song Dynasty will not be like this before. Long-term captivity and suppression have made their spirit exhausted, and to fight alone is to seek death, and no one wants to go it alone and charge with the army. Until Lin Chong Luda and others were born, they set off a precedent for generals to fight bravely within the Western Army.

Until then. Even Yao Gu, the head of the Yao family, a super violent family, did not personally lead the army to charge after being promoted to the main general, and after Lin Chong and Luda joined the Western Army. Especially after the birth of the Lin Family Army, after Lin Chong was promoted to the commander of any army, Lin Chong and Luda still led the army to charge, and every time they took the lead, the battle was in front and retreated in the rear, even the officers with the Lin Family Army did so, and each of the cavalry officers of the Lin Family Army had super combat effectiveness.

With Lin Jiajun as the center, the Western Army, which is brave and ruthless and refuses to admit defeat, has been driven by this trend, every time there is a battle with the party members, everyone is not only better than winning or losing, but also focusing on comparing the wins and losses between the main general and the officer, like Lin Chong is called the first fierce general of the Western Army The reason is that he rushes to the front every time he fights, and is often the first to rush into the enemy formation, killing people and horses for blood horses, I don't know how many times he has been reprimanded by Tong Guan and the breeder, and still goes his own way.

Later, everyone got used to it, and every time Lin Chong killed people and horses came back, everyone would cheer for him.

Taking this as an opportunity, the combat of bacteria became more courageous, and the generals who were always in the middle of the command and did not personally fight also began to take the initiative to fight to gain fame, this situation developed to a new stage after Yue Fei and Zhang Xian entered the Western Army three years later, Yue Fei and Zhang Xian are two little tigers, fighting more fierce and fearless than Lin Chong and Luda, when facing the party's elite cavalry Iron Harrier, they dare to hedge, countless times in the face of death, but always reverse the situation and come back alive.

Later, after the curtain call of the older generation of the Western Army, the Yue Fei era opened, and the personal bravery of the generals in the Western Army was once again proposed, Yue Fei took the initiative to propose that the generals could not be senior generals without extraordinary force and courage, like Li Yanxian because his combat effectiveness was not too strong, and when he was about to be promoted to the chief general of the first army at the beginning, he was questioned by everyone.

Later, Li Yanxian was ruthless, and after three months of hard training, he fought with Yue Fei for more than 30 rounds, and finally got everyone's approval.

As a result, the survival rate of the personal guards of the generals of the Western Army has been greatly improved.

At this time, Zhang Xian also maintained enough sanity, did not personally lead the army to charge, Zhang Xian, who is experienced in a hundred battles, after reading some military books, his ability was sublimated, and he began to use strategy and strategy to deal with the enemy, this time, he saw the panicked party army in the city began to feel that something was wrong, they have been shrinking their forces for more than a month, according to calculations, the defense line began to be arranged half a month ago at the latest, and there is no reason to be destroyed at this moment.

Zhang Xian is not a god and can't predict everything, so he chose to test it, a feint, because of Renduo's impulse to protect loyalty, Zhang Xian tested the reality in Lingzhou City, and then, Zhang Xian looked at the 30,000 soldiers under his command and began to think about tactics, these 30,000 soldiers are the elite of the elite, almost all of them are precious combat power that survived after fighting face-to-face with the Jurchens, and it is a pity to die one.

To achieve the greatest results with the smallest losses, this army will be of great use in the future, it is to fight with the fierce enemy on the grassland and Liaodong, not to be consumed here by the same party members as kraft candy, Zhang Xian once thought of the scene of the soldiers tying gunpowder shells as human bombs to blow up the city gate in the previous battle of Yanyun.

No, no, no, Zhang Xian vetoed this idea, there is no need for that now, it is not a battle of life and death, there is no need to exchange the lives of elite soldiers for a crushing victory, it has to be replaced by something else.

With such an idea, Zhang Xian ordered to camp temporarily, not only to let the soldiers rest after the long journey, but he also needed to take a rest, and think about how to break the city.

Zhang Xian stopped, and Ren Duo was anxious.

Since ancient times, there have really been no examples of the besieging side not being in a hurry and the defending side being in a hurry, but at this time, Nita was really in a hurry.

There is no other reason, the imperial court urgently needs a victory to calm the people's hearts, since the beginning of the war, the party army has not had a victory, has been beaten by the Song army miserable, have been beaten back to the nest, this time, even if it is a small victory in the defense of the city, it is also worth their special book, to appease the people's hearts, the key is to contribute to the Han regime in the Western Xia government to gain a firm foothold.

Renduo Baozhong is not unaware that the central government and local government of Western Xia are basically occupied by the Han people, and he sometimes has a doubt about whether it is the Xixia of the Dangxiang people or the Xixia of the Han people, but at this moment, the Dangxiang people want to sacrifice themselves in exchange for the opportunity to survive, and only the Han people will be willing to form an alliance with themselves to protect themselves, and Renduo Baozhong, who was under house arrest for twenty years before gaining freedom, needs the protection of the Han regime at this moment.

Therefore, Ren Duo Baozhong worked hard to prepare for war for more than a month, planning to give the Song army a stick even if it was only at the beginning of the war, as long as he won a battle, it would be fine! Every time I think of this, in addition to the excitement, Renduo Baozhong also has a bleak feeling, once upon a time, the Great Xia army could compete with the Song army, and even stronger than the Song army, but now, it is impossible to achieve even a field victory.

After the battle with the Jurchens, the combat effectiveness of the Song army has improved in a straight line, and it has far surpassed the Dangxiang soldiers, losing the protection of the Iron Harrier Cavalry Group, the infantry combat effectiveness of the Dangxiang people is actually not strong, and the Divine Arm Bow is not much of an advantage after it is mastered by the Song army, it was still like this before, not to mention now.

The attack and defense before the Song and Xia have been completely interchanged, and the party army needs to rely on the city to fight against the Song army, and before, this was the patent of the Song army.

Renduo Baozhong made so many preparations, that is, he planned to make a mistake to the Song army when the Song army's first attack was unclear, so he ordered the defense facilities near Lingzhou City to be established extremely weak, and also specially selected old and weak soldiers to send them to death, a group of soldiers in the Song army just arrived at the city when they pretended to be panicked, so that the Song army lost its vigilance, and easily induced a large number of Song troops to attack the city without full preparation.

This trick was used more than once by Renduo Baozhong and his brother and younger brother twenty years ago, and those Song army generals who were greedy for merit were easily fooled and played by them in applause, but Renduo Baozhong got a wrong question, now is twenty years later, not twenty years ago, the original Song army officers have basically changed, who would have such an idea?
