The Western Xia army had not encountered decent resistance since entering Shaanxi, so they hesitated and did not dare to determine what had happened, and when the Han battle flag appeared on the horizon, they hurriedly woke up and prepared for battle.

However, the war horses were already full of gold and silver treasures, silk and satin, and it took a lot of effort and determination to untie these new annexed troops captured by the Han people, but they were not elite cowardly Xue army, they all counted on these spoils to be taken back to support their families, if they were casually thrown on the ground and picked up by others, wouldn't it be a pity that people were afraid of selfishness, and the army was even more so, everyone thought about how to win the battle with soft money, so when the chasing soldiers came over, the Western Xia army was already doomed to failure.

The convoy is too huge, and it has been stretched for nearly 100 miles, so the escort soldiers are also like sheep beans scattered on the road, it is difficult to assemble like a battle formation, seeing the chasing force is large, the Western Xia soldiers at the end of the team quickly made the decision to retreat after a short period of consideration, but the people who were bullied by them suddenly turned from sheep to tigers, one by one viciously pounced, a few hit one by one, the Xixia soldiers got off their horses and beat them to death, how can the common people be the common people, how can they hold down the stout nomadic axle, the man was seized by them, pulled out the scimitar, and cut a few Western Xia soldiers, they also panicked, did not dare to continue to slash and kill, the people dragged the knife and ran away, how do you know the pursuersAt this time, a red-shirted cavalryman stepped on the stirrup, stood high, waved his long knife, twisted his body, and used the strength of his waist to condescendingly cut down, cutting the Western Xia soldier from the shoulder, and the blood sprayed directly, but he did not die immediately.

The cavalry impact is to be a fierce one, after a knife, no longer make up the knife, continue to rush forward to kill, those Western Xia soldiers who were kicked by the horse's hooves, overturned the knife, and the slashed became the dishes on the plate of the common people, just now the Xixia soldiers who were still showing off their might and high above at this time covered their wounds and wailed for mercy, and the people who were full of anger did not care about this messy fist and beat these unlucky ghosts to death.

The Xixia people never expected the Ming army to come so quickly, and they were caught off guard and were beaten into a broken flower, and the Xixia army saw that the Ming army was strong, and did not dare to resist, and left the brigade with the looted property, and the redshirt army won a complete victory, at this time the horsepower had come to an end, and many horses were exhausted, fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and had to stop the pursuit temporarily.

It took three days to bring the captive people back to Chang'an, during which the Western Xia army was unwilling to fail, and moved several counterattacks, all of which were repulsed by the cavalry of the Red Shirt Army, and finally had to look at the cart full of goods and goods gradually moving away, sighing back to the horse, galloping westward, and not leaving, I am afraid that my life will stay here.

The people 66 continued to return to the city, and when they saw the Mingzi banner, they all burst into tears and asked the sergeant guarding the door, which is the team of the military gate, and the sergeant was very proud to tell them that they were the general of Zhengxi, and when the army of the town of Wuhou arrived, the people immediately ran excitedly and told each other that this time it was finally saved.

The recovery of Chang'an can be regarded as a great achievement, and Liu Ziguang waited for the situation in the city to be a little settled, so he asked people to send a telegram to the capital, saying that the army of Zhengxi had recovered Chang'an, beheaded 20,000 enemies, captured armor and horses, equipment and the enemy's level, and would be sent to the capital with detailed war reports. When the telegraph officer asked him what he used to settle the money, Liu Ziguang thought for a moment and said: "You can use Liu, the general of the western army." ”

At the same time, the Western Army, which cautiously drove out of Tongguan, finally came to the city of Weinan, looking at an empty city, Yuan Chonghuan breathed a sigh of relief, the Western Xia Army seemed to have really retreated, he called the Chinese army, dictated the telegram of the Western Army's recovery of Weinan, and asked the Chinese army to ask whose name it was, Yuan Chonghuan didn't want to think about it, and said: "Governor of Shaanxi Trilateral Military Affairs Yuan." ”

Zhu Youxiao, who was far away in Nanjing, received two telegrams from the front line of the Western Army at the same time, but the contents were very different, one was Liu Ziguang, saying that the enemy had annihilated 20,000 and recovered Chang'an, and the enemy army had fled, and the imperial army was just around the corner when it left Jiayu Pass. The other is Yuan Chonghuan's saying that the officers and men of the Western Army worked together to recover 50,000 enemies after hard fighting, and now there are still 100,000 remnants of the enemy in Chang'an City, and the soldiers of the Western Army will definitely kill the enemy and repay the country without fear of hardships and dangers, and recover Chang'an as soon as possible.

This is strange, it is just two telegrams from the Western Army, but there is such a big difference, whose hands is this Chang'an City, which telegram is true? This can involve the issue of the crime of defrauding the monarch, and Zhu Youxiao immediately sent an order to the Western Army to explain the situation.

After receiving the call, Yuan Chonghuan was shocked and hurriedly ordered the whole army to advance and enter Chang'an, he knew that Liu Ziguang, this kid must be playing the routine of the surprise attack on Jinan again, but he didn't know how he crossed the Tongguan with his back, could it be that it was relying on balloons? Anyway, this time he took all the limelight.

The western army drove to Chang'an City, the city gate was closed, and Yuan Dashuai's car had not yet arrived, and the pioneer officer Liu Zongmin shouted at the city: "The people in the city heard that the grandfathers of the Western Army had arrived, and hurriedly opened the city gate, prepared foot washing water and mutton steamed buns, so that the men could rest their feet." ”

The exclusive text version of this work may not be reproduced without consent, and excerpts for more of the latest and fastest chapters please visit! Liu Zongmin is also a group of fiery red-shirts in his heart, this group of *** is too unsophisticated, taking advantage of the withdrawal of the Western Xia people to occupy the vacuum area and rob all the credit that should have been taken by the Western Army! I couldn't swallow this breath, so I rushed a little bit.

These guys in the city are not vegetarians, as soon as they heard this, they blew up the pot, and everyone said that you turtles are shrinking behind, and you don't come out, the old men fought two battles and died hundreds of brothers before taking Chang'an City, why did they open the door for you, and also wash your feet and prepare mutton steamed buns, at that time, someone scolded: "Who are you, why are your teams so unruly, mutton steamed buns are not enough to wash your feet, and the water pipes are enough!" With that, a large bucket of swill poured down, and with the far moat across the city, it failed to splash anyone, but it annoyed the soldiers of the Western Army, and the two sides began to fight at the moment.

If you scold and scold the person who should report it, you have to report it, and the officer guarding the door sent someone to report Liu Ziguang, Liu Ziguang asked if Inspector Yuan had arrived, and replied no. Liu Ziguang said: "Then leave them outside and wait for Inspector Yuan to come." ”

Liu Zongmin scolded for half an hour, his mouth was dry, and when he saw that the other party did not mean to open the door, he had to dismount outside the city gate to rest, his cavalry camp walked fast, did not bring tents and other things, and even dry food and drinking water were insufficient.

After three hours, the commander of Yuan arrived and saw the governor's trilateral military affairs, and the sergeant of Daxu urgently reported that Liu Ziguang knew that Liu Ziguang had changed his clothes and went out of the city to greet each other. "That means I still have to go to the governor's yamen to work.

Liu Ziguang said: "The Inspector doesn't know anything, the city buildings have all been burned down, and the governor's yamen has turned into white ground, and the soldiers of our army are all living in tents, if the inspector does not dislike it, he will come to live with Benhou." ”

Yuan Chonghuan said: "The Xixia people are really brutal, and they actually set fire to Chang'an, so the governor will go into the city to inspect the people's conditions, as for the tents, the governor will bring some and will not occupy the place of the Hou Ye." ”

said that he was about to lead the troops into the city, but was stopped by Liu Ziguang: "The people in the city are not clothed, the people are panicking, the army under your command from horse thieves is afraid that it is inappropriate to enter the city at this time, it is better to enter the city like this, the pacesetter battalion of the Governor can enter the city, and it is better for General Liu's troops to camp outside the city, otherwise it will cause disturbing the people, and you and I will not be able to explain to the elders of Chang'an." ”

Yuan Chonghuan had no choice but to reply to the emperor's telegram, and he still needed Liu Ziguang to help the round, so he had to agree to enter the city with the pacesetter camp, while Liu Zongmin's troops could only stare outside the city.

The Red Shirts occupied Chang'an, there was no reason to let it out, although Chang'an at this time has become a big rubble, but as long as the people are still there, there is hope to restore the glory of the past, the people in the Red Shirt Army under the organization to collect the remnants of bricks and tiles, build houses, go out of the city, cut down several wood, dig soil and burn bricks, build new streets and houses, fortunately, the Xixia people did not have time to rob all the food, so hundreds of thousands of Chang'an people will not have a shortage of food for the time being.

Liu Ziguang didn't want to completely turn his face with Yuan Chonghuan, everyone tacitly stopped mentioning Jin Shengheng, and the call back to the emperor also unified the caliber, only saying that the two armies fought separately, Liu Jun attacked Chang'an, and Yuan Jun attacked Weinan, and they did not coordinate the pace with each other.

When the emperor sometimes needs to be confused, now is the time when Zhu Youxiao is rarely confused, so a telegram of commendation went back, and greatly praised the whole western army, encouraging them to make persistent efforts to recover all the lost territory in one fell swoop.

Chang'an is the capital of China in the Han and Tang dynasties, and now it has become the western frontier of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of territory shrinkage is unacceptable to any Han people, at present, the civil strife in Western Xia is a good opportunity to take the opportunity to expand the territory, Liu Ziguang and Yuan Chonghuan have sent cavalry, quickly westward to occupy as much territory as possible, in front of the common enemy, the two armies reached an unofficial tacit understanding, as long as one side occupies the city, the other side will not get involved, want to compare, or Yuan Chonghuan's men and horses take advantage, because they are familiar with the terrain, and there are many people, anyway, the Western Xia army has run away, just scatter the girl and rush forward, the red shirt army is obviously out of disadvantage, only less than 10,000 cavalry, how can not occupy a few county seatsWith Liu Ziguang's order to them, don't care about the gains and losses in Shaanxi, just go all the way to the west!

The food and salary of the imperial court were quickly transported, although according to the intention reached by the cabinet, these silver, grain, cloth, and ordnance were opened by Liu Ziguang and Yuan Chonghuan, but in fact, the operation was not like that, and the three points that belonged to Liu Ziguang were the seven points of the Western Army.

As for the supply of the Red Shirt Army, he had his own set of logistics system, and a large amount of grain was purchased from Huguang at a low price in the name of the general of Zhengxi, and a large number of ordnance and ammunition were sent to Chang'an through Tongguan on 6 routes, and they were directly loaded onto the carriages heading west from the production line of the Liguo Iron Works, and at the same time, a railway passing through Henan to Guanzhong was also under intense construction.

The most exciting news is the recovery of Shanxi, Zhao Chengcheng led the three battalions of military horses all the way to Taiyuan Mansion, along the way the Qing army looked at the wind and fell, not even a decent battle came to Taiyuan Mansion, only to hear that the small court of Kangxi has gone north to the desert, Zhao Pingcheng sent a cavalry battalion until Datong before collecting troops, and reported the good news to Liu Ziguang after returning, saying that the people of Shanxi have long been looking forward to the imperial army to liberate them, before the Red Shirt Army came over, the mutiny of the green camp and the uprising of the people have risen one after another, for Kangxi, Shanxi is already a big hot pot that can not sit still。

Shanxi is a rich place, with a good commercial and financial industry, as well as rich coal resources, and getting Shanxi is equivalent to a treasure trove, so Liu Ziguang will not care so much about the military expenses of the imperial court. Looking at the area under his control on the map, Liu Ziguang was proud, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, plus Shaanxi, Mongolia, Goryeo, and the minerals, fisheries, agriculture, and human resources in these lands were not to be underestimated, and the constraints of the imperial court, Yuan Chonghuan's careful eyes were not placed on Liu Ziguang's heart, what he needed to consider was how to integrate these resources in his hands to defeat the biggest potential enemy of Western Xia.

Through several battles, Liu Ziguang has realized that the war potential of the Tangut people is very huge, this huge empire is like the Manchu Qing that magnified the No. 1, and it is more barbaric and powerful than the Manchu Qing, from the Caspian Sea to the Tianshan Mountains, it is his territory, the Turks, the Uighurs, the Mongols, the Tubo, and the Han are all his people, and the huge strategic depth and endless human resources have supported this country to confront the Ming Dynasty for a long time, if the overall situation of the west is handed over to Yuan Chonghuan, it can be fought well and can keep the peace for more than ten years, and if it is not fought well, I am afraid that it will fall again in the next year.

But if the war is handed over to Liu Ziguang to fight, it will not be so, he deeply knows that in the face of the enemy's powerful war resources, the advantage of the red-shirted cavalry equipped with light artillery and firearms is not very large, and as the war continues, this advantage will become smaller and smaller, because the enemy will capture, Imitate their advanced weapons and turn the tide of the war, so if you want to quickly defeat this enemy, you can only use the most advanced weapons, use powerful 6 air forces, use tanks and cannons, use airships and power wings, and use the power of technology to completely defeat them, break off all the fangs and sharp teeth of these nomads, and then set one foot on one foot to ensure the safety of the Han world.
