The war resilience of agrarian civilizations is actually far greater than that of nomads.

This is because the nomads have a hint of plundering in their bones, and they live a free and easy life of drinking and getting drunk today, but because of the extremely low productivity, once they encounter natural disasters, their ability to resist natural disasters is extremely poor, and if they can't fight in the war, they can't fight for a long time.

Because of the diversity of civilizations, although the ability to mobilize for war is even worse, because of the advanced nature of agricultural civilization and the storage character of the Han people, they can often withstand continuous wars for years or even decades.

On the whole, the longer the war lasts, the more beneficial it is for the Xia Kingdom, which is mainly in a low defensive position, and the Xia State can even use its strong economic production capacity and a large amount of wealth to drag down the Turks with a worse economy.

Therefore, Xia should fight a long war of attrition, which will be more beneficial to Xia, but Wang Ze can't wait, because he has to face not only a militarily powerful Turk, but also a rapidly powerful Northern Zhou.

Today's Northern Zhou Dynasty has completely occupied the vast majority of the land north of the Yangtze River, completely crippled the military strength of Southern Chen, if it weren't for the containment of the army of Wang Yong of Sanqi in the north, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty was still more afraid of the naval army of Southern Chen, otherwise the Northern Zhou army would have crossed the Yangtze River and wiped out the remnants of Nanchen.

If Wang Ze could not completely defeat the Turks before the Northern Zhou unified the Central Plains, then if the Northern Zhou unified the Central Plains and joined forces with the Turks to attack the Xia State, it would really be a catastrophe.

Originally, just fighting against such a powerful Turk had exhausted the Xia Kingdom, and if we added a powerful Northern Zhou that unified the Central Plains and had a population of nearly 30 million, then what awaited the Xia Kingdom would either perish, or hide overseas to re-establish the country, and from then on be isolated from the mainland countries.

Taking advantage of the fact that there is no time for the Northern Zhou Dynasty to look north, under Wang Ze's order, Ji Xiang and Yang Wu's 100,000 cavalry, which were originally stationed on the front line of Jiangzhou City, as well as Zhang Hang's division of the Fourth Army and Liangqiu Tai's division of the Sixth Army, a total of 90,000 infantry troops, gave up the defense line of Jiangzhou City that had been held for nearly two months.

Although the soldiers were very dissatisfied with the news from the rear, they gradually retreated to the defense line that had been built long ago in the rear, relying on the defense line built in the mountains on both sides of the difficult water.

The 200,000 Xia army has to fight against nearly 400,000 Turkic coalition troops, which is actually really difficult, but the generals Ji Xiang and Yang Wu, who know Wang Ze's next layout, have said that they can still hold on, and they know that as long as they persist, they will also be a great achievement in the future.

Although there are not too many natural dangers in Yangwu City on the North Road, the Xia army has a total of 150,000 people, even if it is against less than 200,000 Turkic troops in the field, it does not feel that it is very difficult, and even after Zi Cong Han Zigao joined, the Xia army on the North Road even began to have a faint advantage.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Datou Yehu, who led the Turkic attack, was sneaking and playing tricks, and Datou Yehu's advance this time was just a gesture, allowing him to take the lead in breaking through the defense line and entering the Xia Kingdom to be the target, so he was too lazy to do it.

Besides, since ancient times, who has the biggest fist on the grassland, who is the big brother, what if he takes the lead in attacking and suffers a lot of losses?

Therefore, Datou Yehu is only here to fight with the Xia army in attack and defense, but there is no progress at all, and the Tiele people along the way are more reluctant to send the Turks to death, and the pine of Datou Yehu is more willing, the Turks, the Tiele people, not to mention the Khitans.

It's just that in this way, without the attack of these two Turkic armies, the Xia army concentrated more troops in the direction of Liaodong, and in terms of cavalry alone, there is the first cavalry army led by Hu Bingchang, as well as the fourth, seventh, eighth, and ninth, a total of five cavalry armies, and the existence of 260,000 cavalry.

In addition to the cavalry, the Xia Army's infantry army concentrated the seventh and eighth infantry armies, as well as the 40,000 blue wolf army, and the Liuwancheng ironclad army of 10,000, a total of 140,000 main infantry troops.

At this time, although the Great Luo Yehu, who attacked the direction of Liaodong, was the most powerful, there were only 150,000 Turkic cavalry and 100,000 Tiele cavalry in total, even if the 100,000 Turkic herdsmen behind him were added, a total of only 350,000 people, and the Xia State had already occupied an advantage in terms of army data alone.

Wang Ze mobilized so many troops in the direction of Liaodong, and let the other two Xia armies do their best to defend against the Turkic army, of course, he was not to compare the number with the Turks, but to prepare for war from the southern Liaodong battlefield.

Soon, Wang Ze personally took a boat from Sword Casting City to Zhenhai and came to Liaodong City to take command.

The accompanying army was the 30,000 cavalry of the Central Protector Yulinwei, so that the number of Xia troops on the battlefield in Liaodong had reached 430,000.

With such a large number of troops, most of them are cavalry that consumes more materials, basically 290,000 cavalry need at least more than 500,000 war horses, such a large demand for grain and grass, even if the sea transportation of the Xia Kingdom is so strong, it is also beginning to feel difficult.

In mid-April, Wang Ze ordered Hu Bingchang's First Cavalry Army to attack north along Liaoshui from Liaodong City, and he wanted to cut off the Turkic retreat from the flank and rear, and Wang Ze had the intention to annihilate this main Turkic army as much as possible before the attack.

The Miao army and Pei Jie respectively led the Eighth and Ninth Cavalry Corps to the north along the Sumo River to seize Baicheng and other places.

In addition, Han Wen was responsible for attacking the Turkic cavalry in the direction of Fuyu City, Li Shun was the Turkic cavalry that cooperated with the Seventh Cavalry Army of Lu Shishan's department to attack the direction of Xincheng, and the others followed Wang Ze to deal with the soldiers and horses of the Da Luo Ye Protector Headquarters under Liaodong City.

After making arrangements, Wang Ze led the Fourth Cavalry Army under the command of Yu Linwei and Yan Xiaowu, the Blue Wolf Army and the Iron Armored Army, a total of 130,000 infantry troops and cavalry troops, to launch a comprehensive attack on the Daluo Department opposite Zhengliao East City. 591 net

Compared to the Xia Kingdom, where the entire national economy was invested in preparing for war, the Turks were worried about no one except for the Tuobo Khan, and no one thought that they would be defeated, they were too confident in themselves.

Soon after they were born, or even before they were born, their grandfathers, fathers, and uncles had already knocked all the Turkic enemies to the ground, and they had grown up in great and glorious glory since they were born.

In their minds, the Turks will always be so strong, so after the Xia Kingdom gave up large tracts of land one after another, they only attacked while wantonly looting all the wealth discarded by the people of the Xia Kingdom, and even caused a group fight for a glass.

After Da Luo came to Liaodong, he saw that the land in Liaodong was so rich and was ready to occupy it, and even the 100,000 Turkic herdsmen under his command had already occupied large areas of high-quality pasture everywhere, established their own pastures, and only waited for the summer and autumn to take over all their families.

Da Luo was ambitious at the beginning and prepared to take the entire Liaodong before entering the summer, but in the face of the strict defense of the Xia army, he suffered a big loss.

Now in April, although he is still attacking Liaodong City from time to time, but the losses in the previous siege are too great, Da Luo also began to attack honestly step by step, preparing to occupy this land first and then continue to attack the Xia Kingdom.

Da Luo, who was accustomed to the past war for a year or two, didn't even know that Xia Guo was ready to end this war in a month or two.

Da Luo began to live a farming life, but the Tiele people who followed him to attack Liaodong were not happy, after all, the Tiele people fought for the Turks, and they sent troops, horses, and a large number of cattle and sheep, not to mention, you should let everyone get some benefits, right?

However, after many failed sieges, Daluo was ready to settle down here, and if they did not attack the Tiele people, they would not gain anything at all, so their dissatisfaction gradually fermented.

When the Xia army launched a large-scale attack, Da Luo was convening a meeting of the leaders of the Tiele tribes, after all, 100,000 Tiele cavalry is also a large force, once these Tiele people leave, their strength will be reduced by more than 30%.

But before he could convince these Tiele leaders, he heard a soldier tell him that the Xia army of hundreds of thousands of troops had launched a total of 100,000 troops.

At first, Da Luo didn't pay much attention to it, but after several urgent reports in succession, Da Luo also found that the Xia army really had the courage to attack him, and Da Luo, who was furious, quickly gathered the Turkic cavalry and Tiele cavalry outside Liaodong City to prepare for battle.

By this time it was already a little late.

The Turks have always been men over the age of twelve, and their strength is only 350,000 men, even if they are accompanied by the herdsmen, and 100,000 Turkic herders are walking around the rear grazing cattle and sheep.

The remaining 250,000 cavalry seemed to be a lot, but these 250,000 cavalry were scattered on a frontline of hundreds of miles from Buyeo City to Xincheng and Liaodong City, and now all the cavalry around Daluo only had 120,000 people.

The 130,000 people of Yu Linwei, Yan Xiaowu's Fourth Cavalry Army, as well as the Blue Wolf Army and the Iron Armor Army led by Wang Ze seemed to be only 10,000 more troops than the Turks, but it was much easier to fight with preparedness.

The action of the Xia army is very fast, although the blue wolf army and the ironclad army are infantry troops, but they benefit from the rich horse resources of the Xia country, and they all ride on the flat horses when marching, so that the physical strength of the soldiers is greatly guaranteed, especially the ironclad army needs to travel flat horses to save strength.

The infantry army rode forward quickly, but Yu Linwei and Yan Xiaowu had already finished packing up the 30,000 Turkic cavalry scattered around.

After Da Luo finally gathered 80,000 cavalry, the 120,000 Xia army had already come to him, especially the tens of thousands of ironclad soldiers led by Liu Wancheng, all of them were big men of more than 1.8 meters, holding a giant sword with a length of more than one and a half zhang, which was particularly impressive.

The 200,000-strong head-to-head confrontation between the two armies will certainly not be fought hard like this, and both sides will use all means to undermine each other's morale as much as possible before making contact.

All in all, because the Xia army occupied the first hand and won the temple calculation, the morale of the Xia soldiers was very high, and the continuous victories over the years made them very confident in their own strength, and the powerful ironclad army at the front gave them unlimited courage.

Although the Xia Kingdom currently has the largest number of cavalry, but what everyone admires the most is the soldiers of the Ironclad Army, they are not only strong in martial arts, but also use flesh and blood to confront the cavalry head-on, and even the nemesis of the cavalry, for more than 20 years, the Ironclad Army has been a myth within the Xia Army.

The Turks' attempt to disturb the morale of the Xia army naturally failed, and this time the Xia army had an absolute advantage over the Turks in terms of the number of troops, the degree of war readiness, the ability to protect armor, the range of bows and crossbows, and the sophistication of weapons.

There were a total of 60,000 Turkic soldiers and 20,000 Tiele soldiers among the Turks, and the Turks faced this scene quite well, but the Tiele people looked very unbearable, even if they participated in every major war launched by the Turks, but such scenes were still rare.

As the two sides approached, the big war began.
