…

Three years ago, after the death of Li Qianshun, Li Renxiao, who was only thirteen years old at the time, ascended the throne with the support of the civil and military forces of the Western Xia Manchu Dynasty and became the fifth emperor of the Western Xia.

After succeeding to the throne, Li Renxiao respected his biological mother Cao as the "mother of the country", although Li Qianshun's empress Ren was not Li Renxiao's biological mother, but was still named the queen mother by Li Renxiao, and designated the daughter of the party clan as the queen.

Soon after ascending the throne, Li Renxiao encountered a difficult situation in which the Great Qian Dynasty invaded Jin and the Jin State asked for help from Western Xia.

At the suggestion of the Western Xia ministers, Li Renxiao followed the advice of his father Li Qianshun and sent troops to reinforce the Jin State.

As a result, the Western Xia successively sent two large armies, both of which were defeated by the generals Su Dong and Wang De of the Great Qian Dynasty, not only failed to reinforce the Chengjin army, but also lost troops.

The problem is that despite the support of the Western Xia and the steppe tribes, the Jin State only lasted less than two years before it was destroyed by the Great Qian Dynasty.

The moment he learned that the Jin army was defeated in the decisive battle of Qianjin and that the Jin country was bound to die, Li Renxiao was shocked!

Li Renxiao hurriedly summoned a group of rulers in Western Xia to discuss countermeasures.

Under the suggestion of the important ministers of the Western Xia, Li Renxiao hurriedly changed his strategy, sent envoys to the Daqian Dynasty many times to pay tribute, and sincerely said that they were only bewitched by the Jin people, and did not intend to be enemies of the Daqian Dynasty, and begged for peaceful coexistence with the Daqian Dynasty and forgiveness from the Daqian Dynasty.

In order to persuade Li Cun to give up attacking the Western Xia, Li Renxiao not only offered Li Cunjin 300 first-class beauties of the Western Xia in three times according to Li Cun's hobbies, but also ordered the envoy to present the "Hundred Heads Tent" of the Western Xia Fang to Li Cun to show his sincerity to the submission of the Great Qian Dynasty.

After the Western Xia occupied the Hexi Corridor, it was equivalent to inheriting the Silk Road on the land of China, so the gold, silver and jewelry from the West continued to flock to the Western Xia.

The Western Xia then used these gold and silver jewelry to exchange with the Liao Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the later Jin Dynasty and even the Daqian Dynasty for silk, porcelain, tea and other sought-after commodities or the necessities of the Tangut people, and then sold silk, porcelain, tea and other sought-after commodities to the Western Regions, and then sold them to the West by merchants in the Western Regions, earning huge amounts of gold, silver and jewelry.

It can be said that relying on the Hexi Corridor in his hands, Xixia made a lot of money, not only obtained all the daily necessities it needed, but also had a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry.

And this hundred-head tent is actually a tent - it is said that the skilled craftsmen of Western Xia used the skins of a hundred kinds of rare and exotic beasts to skillfully stitch and sew out the tent, it has the effect of extremely warm, in winter there is no need to light a fire to keep warm, living in it will not feel cold, and it is also hung with rare treasures from all over the world.

This makes the hundred-head tent not only practical, but also exquisite, magnificent, and a rare and priceless treasure.

After receiving the hundred-head account, even if he was as rich as Li Cun, he couldn't help but sigh a little, there are still such treasures in the world!

At the same time, for Li Renxiao, who could even dedicate a treasure like a hundred head tents to himself, Li Cun couldn't help but glance at it, and felt that Li Renxiao was a character, no wonder he could become the longest-reigning and longest-lived emperor of Western Xia in history.

It's a pity that even if Li Renxiao achieved this level, he couldn't discourage Li Cun's determination to recover Western Xia.

Actually-

Li Renxiao's ministers also knew very well that even if he tried everything to curry favor with Li Cun, he would not necessarily be able to prevent the ambitious Li Cun from going to war against Western Xia.

Therefore, while constantly sending envoys to the Daqian Dynasty to beg for mercy, Li Renxiao's ministers have also been actively preparing for war.

Li Renxiao took his uncle Li Chage, the king of Jin, as the commander, and recruited the whole country to prepare for war.

Brother Richard is a strong and powerful strategy, can pull away the strong bow of two stones to shoot through the heavy armor, when the Qinghai Tubo Department raised an army against the Song Dynasty, the Western Xia sent the general Ren Duo Baozhong to lead the army to support the Tubo, was blocked by the Song Army Miao Shoe Department in Huangshui, Richard Brother shot an arrow to the deputy general of Miao Shoes, and the force was freed, and since then he has become famous in a war.

After that battle, Richard summed up the combat experience, and suggested learning from the Song army, selecting the strong and brave Han Dynasty, teaching a strong crossbow, carrying a bow and hoeing in peacetime, and advancing in battle in stages, galloping with iron crows on the plains, and chasing danger with foot in the valleys, so as to flexibly use troops according to the time and place.

Li Qianshun thought that his younger brother had the talent of a general, so he gradually promoted Richard to be the president of the Xia Army.

Li Chage also did not live up to Li Qianshun's expectations, led the Xia army to defeat the Song army many times, and was recognized as the first general in the world in Western Xia.

The military service system in Western Xia was that men were 15 years old and reached 60 years of age. Each family has two Ding, one of whom is the main army, and the other is the negative support (auxiliary army), who serves as a miscellaneous soldier with the army, and is composed of a copy. Anyone who has more than four dings in the family, draw two copies, and the rest of the strong men are called empty dings, and they can not serve, or they can replace other Ding men as support soldiers, and they can also replace the weak people in the regular army as regular soldiers.

In addition to the emperor's pro-army, the Western Xia had a total of 12 military divisions in the left and right chambers, namely: Shenyong in the left chamber, Xiangyou in the left chamber, Jianing in Youzhou, Jingsai in Weizhou, Baotai in Xishou, Zhuo Luo and Nan, Chaoshun in the right chamber, Gansu in Ganzhou, Xiping in Guazhou, Yan in Heishui Town, Baimaqiang Town, and Weifu in Montenegro.

The distribution of its troops and the tasks of garrisoning are: 70,000 people from Hebei to Wulayu Mountain to guard against the cadre army; 50,000 people from Hongzhou, Baibao, Anyanzhou, Luoluo, Tiandu, and Weijingshan in Henan Province to guard against cadres on Huan, Qing, Zhenrong, Yuanzhou and other roads; 50,000 people on Youzhou Road in the left chamber to guard against the cadres of Dun, Yan, Lin, Fu and other prefectures; 30,000 people on Ganzhou Road in the right chamber to prepare for Xifan and Hui; Helan garrisoned 50,000 troops, Lingzhou 50,000 people, and Xingzhou Xingqing Mansion 70,000 people for the town guards, in total, its regular army has more than 500,000.

Later, after Ren Dejing and the remnants of the former Zhao and Song Dynasty surrendered to the Western Xia, the Western Xia placed the Xiangqing Military Supervision Division and the Zhongzhai and Tiandu Second Supervision Military Division.

And this is only the strength of the Western Xia African War.

In the event of a national war, the Western Xia usually transferred the people as soldiers, and took nine out of ten, and those who were under 60 and over 15 were all equipped with their own bows and arrows, that is to say, the soldiers participating in the Western Xia, except for a small amount of military equipment issued by the government, brought their own food and salary during the battle.

Moreover, in Western Xia, not only men participated in the war, but women could also go to war.

In the Xia army, the sassy and heroic female soldiers are a unique scenery, they are not afraid of life and death on the battlefield, move forward bravely, strong combat effectiveness, even not lost to men, in the past wars, they have made a lot of contributions to the Western Xia, so they are known as the most capable female soldiers in history.

In other words, the Western Xia is really a soldier for all the people, and almost more than eighty or ninety percent of the people in the country can go into battle to kill the enemy.

Under the mobilization of the Western Xia court, since the fall of the Jin State, almost all of the three million soldiers and civilians in the Western Xia have been preparing for a national war with the cadre army.

At the same time, Li Renxiao was also sending envoys to the Tibetan tribes, the grassland tribes, and the Western Regions countries to ask for help, explaining to them the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.

After repeated lobbying by the envoys of the Western Xia, the Tubo tribes, the grassland tribes, and the Western Regions countries, which were more and more aware of the ambitions of the Great Qian Dynasty, all reached a strategic alliance with the Western Xia, saying that if the Great Qian Dynasty attacked the Western Xia, they would definitely send troops to help in the war.

Of course, each of these allies of the Western Xia was not for nothing, and they all put forward various conditions to the Western Xia - some asked for money, some asked for grain, some wanted cattle and sheep, some wanted women, and even asked for Western Xia and relatives, and so on......

In order not to be the king of the dead country, under the persuasion of the ministers of Western Xia, Li Renxiao all agreed.

All in all, Western Xia is actually ready to fight this national war, and its strength should not be underestimated!

……

In the autumn of the sixteenth year of Hongwu.

Li Renxiao, who was always paying attention to the Great Qian Dynasty that had gathered a large army, received accurate news, and Li Cun went out of the mountain again to support Wu Jue, Chen Yu and others in the Western Xia.

Li Renxiao was very helpless and angry, he was young and frivolous, he swore that if one day, he could destroy the Daqian Dynasty, he would definitely cut Li Cun with a thousand knives!

However, anger and cruel words were useless at all, Li Renxiao could only follow the advice of the Western Xia ministers, while continuing to beg for peace with the Great Qian Dynasty, while sending Li Chage to lead the army and people of the Western Xia to meet the battle, and at the same time asking the Tibetan tribes, the grassland tribes, and the Western Regions countries to send troops to help the war as soon as possible......

However, without waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the Tibetan tribes, the grassland tribes, and the Western Regions, Wu Jue personally led an army of 150,000 out of Huangzhou, and the veteran general Wang Yu led an army of 50,000 out of Huizhou.

At the same time, Zhe Yanzhi led the Zhejia Army and part of the Northeast Army to attack the Youzhou Road in Western Xia, and contained some of the soldiers and horses in Western Xia as a countermeasure.

Liu Qi led 200,000 cadres to sit in Lanzhou, ready to reinforce at any time.

Soon after, Wu Jue led his army to the Ancient Bone Dragon and met Brother Richard, who came to meet him.

Due to the haste of the incident, there was no time to mobilize more troops, so when the two armies met, Richard had only tens of thousands of horses under his command.

150,000 against tens of thousands, Wu Jue is a famous general in a hundred battles, so there is naturally no suspense in the war.

Under the command of Wu Jue, the Qianjun won a complete victory, killing more than 30,000 Xia troops, and Richard was forced to retreat.

Although the cadres were powerful this time, and they had the momentum to destroy the Western Xia, Wu Jue learned the lesson of the failure of the Zhao and Song dynasties to defeat the Western Xia, and decided to take every step of the camp and eat the Western Xia bite by bite.

Therefore, after repelling the Xia army, Wu Jue did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but occupied the famous general of the Song army, Liu Fa, who built a city called "Zhenwu" here at that time, and sent the general Zhi Kecun to lead the troops to defend it, and Chen Yu also sent the people to build a railway to here at the first time.

At the same time, after Wang Yu led the army into the Qingshui River, he was also blocked by the Xia army, Wang Yu and his son took the lead, fought for many days, repelled the attack of the Xia army, and then also protected the people to build a city here, build a railway, and then send troops to defend.

A month later, Wu Yu sent Wu Xuan to lead an army of 100,000 to attack the city of Zangdihe in Western Xia.

Richard fought-for-tat and sent troops to the rescue.

Wu Lan led the army to drive straight in, opened the way with red-coated cannons, defeated the Xia army and retreated, until it entered Xiao Pass, plundered and returned, and then left the general Yao Zhong to garrison Xiao Pass and protect the people to build the railway.

After resting for a few days, Wu Luan led the cadres to continue the attack on Zangdihe City, which was planned to be conquered within 10 days.

Because the city of Zangdi River was built on the side of mountains and rivers, it was extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the two armies of Qianxia were still in a stalemate after eight days of fierce fighting.

Seeing this, Wu Lan reorganized military discipline, beheaded those who slacked off, and boosted the morale of the cadres.

Soon after, Wu Xuan's general Tian Sheng led a death squad to the city first, killing hundreds of Xia troops, and then the cadres swarmed under the cover of artillery fire, and the Xia army collapsed, and the cadres conquered Zangdihe City.

Wu Lan left Tian Sheng to lead an army of 10,000 to garrison Zangdihe City to protect the people who were building the railway, and then led the main force back.

At the same time, Liu Qi led an army of 200,000 to attack the city of Renduoquan in Western Xia.

The Western Xia guards sent people to ask the Western Xia court for help, and Li Renxiao hurriedly ordered Li Chage to lead the army to reinforce it.

Surprisingly, Richard led the army halfway through, but stopped.

Brother Richard chose this way, in fact, it makes sense, because after several battles in a row, the Xia army was all defeated by the cadre army, which shows that the military strength of the two sides is indeed not at the same level, Richard brother also thinks that in the face of the sharp red-coated cannon of the cadre army, he has no certainty of victory at all, to reinforce, it is likely to be surrounded by the cadre army to send reinforcements, in order not to let the lives of his soldiers be lost in vain, he can only endure the pain and stop the march, whether Renduoquan City can be defended, it depends on the destiny of heaven.

Reinforcements didn't come for a long time, and the Xia army in Renduoquan City was the only one who defended himself.

But the cadres who have a lot of firearms are not afraid of the enemy to defend to the death.

In only three days, under the bombardment of red-coated artillery, the city of Rinduoquan was breached by the cadre army.

After occupying the city of Renduoquan, Liu Qi left the general Wang Yan to guard the city and build a railway here.

At this time, it was already freezing cold, and the weather was really not favorable for the attacking side.

As soon as Wu Jue, Chen Yu and others discussed, they could only make a temporary truce.

……

The time came to the spring of the seventeenth year of Hongwu.

Wu Jue personally led an army of 300,000 out of Xiao Pass.

Richard led a coalition of 500,000 Western Xia, Tibetan and steppe tribes to meet the battle.

It is worth mentioning that the coalition also included thousands of Jin troops led by the Golden Vultures.

It can be seen that the heart of the Golden Vulture to restore the country is immortal.

It's a pity that after a series of bloody battles, the cadres broke the coalition army, conquered Yonghe Village, and took advantage of the victory to surround the city of Western Xia.

The Xia army went out of the city to resist, but was defeated again by the Qianjun army.

After this, the cadres divided their troops to the north and approached Mingsha, and the Western Xia defenders abandoned the city and fled.

The cadres took advantage of the situation to occupy Mingsha City.

Because the cadre army had threatened the hinterland of Western Xia, Richard could only lead the army to besiege Zhenwu City again, wanting to besiege Wei and save Zhao.

The Xia army attacked day and night, and the garrison of the city became increasingly tight, so they had no choice but to send people back for help.

Wu Jue received a plea for help and sent Wu Ling to lead the army to take a train to rescue Zhenwu City.

In just two hours, Wu Lan's vanguard arrived at Zhenwu City, and in just one day, the main force of Wu Lan's troops all arrived at Zhenwu City, along with a hundred red-clothed cannons.

As soon as Wu Lan and Brother Richard fought a little, Xia Jun was killed and disabled by the red-clothed cannons, and had to retreat.

In the following battles, the cadres continued to attack, and built cities and walls and railways in the newly occupied places, and the territory of Western Xia could only shrink more and more.

At the same time, after a long period of war, the national strength of the Western Xia was seriously damaged.

Plus the high pressure of war.

There was a severe famine in Western Xia, and the price of grain soared, and a liter of rice was sold for 100 yuan.

As a result, Xiao Heda, the commander of the Western Xia Army, led the people to rebel and occupy Xiazhou, and peasant uprisings also began to break out in Weizhou, Dingzhou and other places.

Western Xia was undoubtedly mired in serious internal and external troubles.

The key point is that after this year's war, the Hengshan area, which was regarded as a lifeline by the Western Xia, was all lost and occupied by the Daqian Dynasty.

Under the pressure of the collapse of the country, Li Renxiao once again sent an envoy to the Daqian Dynasty, expressing that the Western Xia was willing to submit to the Daqian Dynasty, and that the Western Xia was willing to cede the entire Hengshan region to the Daqian Dynasty, and was also willing to pay tribute to the Daqian Dynasty every year, and he himself was willing to recognize Li Cun as his father, hoping that the Daqian Dynasty and the Western Xia would become a country of father and son......
