Volume 2 Kyoto Storm Chapter 608 Song Zhi's decision

Song Zhi led the 30,000 elite soldiers of the Xiao cavalry battalion to the north and went northwest to support the troops of the Lanshan defense line.

Originally, there were tens of thousands of Northwest Army garrisons in the northwest, plus several fortified cities backed by Lanshan, even if the Qiang and Hu people joined forces, there would be no big problems.

Song Zhi's 30,000 troops supported the past, which was more than enough.

Huang Zhang didn't think about what would go wrong.

You must know that the Song family is a military family, and Song Zhi is the head of the Song family, and he has more experience in fighting wars than himself.

But the less likely it is that something goes wrong, the more the problem comes.

A month ago, Song Zhi led his troops to the Lanshan defense line.

When Song Zhi arrived, the Qiang and Hu people were unable to take the Lanshan defense line for a long time, and they were ready to retreat.

Seeing the Qiang people leave first, Song Zhi felt that the time had come, so he led his troops directly out of the defense line and began to fight with the remaining Hu people.

At that time, the highest leader of the Northwest Army was Han Chong, the general of Zhenbei, a family member of the Northwest Korea, and a famous crown family in the Northwest.

Han Chong's policy at that time was to stick to the pass and not fight easily.

But Song Zhigui was a hussar general, and his status was far above Han Chong.

With Song Zhi's order, Han Chong had no choice but to watch Song Zhi lead his troops out.

Song Zhi's sudden attack caught the Hu people off guard, and the Hu troops outside the city immediately scattered and fled.

Seeing the appearance of the Hu people's troops, Song Zhi immediately became excited.

He has always looked down on these uneducated people, those who do not know the art of war and tactics at all, like a wild beast, whether they gather together, and like fowl, they scatter and flee in danger in all directions.

It's insulting to describe them as human, a bunch of beasts.

Usually honestly carry the tail between the tail and be a man, but dare to join forces to start the idea of the northwest, it's really tired.

Thinking of this, Song Zhi didn't say a word, and ordered a big chase against the Hu people!

Seeing Song Zhi leading his troops to chase deeply, Han Zhong immediately became worried.

Judging from Han Chong's experience in resisting the Hu and Qiang people for many years, this time the other party was obviously abnormal.

You must know that there are many contradictions between the Qiang and Hu people in ordinary times.

The contradiction between the Qiang and the Hu people is actually more serious than the contradiction between them.

It's also easy to understand.

The Qiang and Hu people are both nomadic peoples, and in the southeast are the cities and fields of the Su people, and there is not much land for grazing.

Two nomads often fight each other because they live in pursuit of water and grass.

When the Celestial Empire was in the past, the two nations were under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Empire, and they could reconcile any contradictions.

The Celestial Empire is gone, and the Su State does not have that prestige and ability, so naturally it cannot reconcile the disputes between the two peoples, and over time, the two nomads hate each other.

In the past, Su Guo's attitude towards the Qiang and Hu people was that as long as you didn't come to provoke me, I wouldn't care what kind of trouble you made.

But once you want to hit Su Guo with the idea, then the first one to deal with is you.

Although there are Qiang and Hu people who occasionally come to fight the autumn wind, they are all small-scale troops, and it is easy to solve.

This was the first time that the Qiang and Hu people had sent troops on a large scale.

The scale is unprecedented, and the power is unprecedented, how can this not make Han Chong worried.

Usually when the two nations fight each other, he doesn't feel anything, but now that the two sides are harmonious, it makes him feel more pressure.

Facing the approach of the Qianghu coalition army, if it weren't for Han Chong's desperate resistance with the Northwest Army, I am afraid that they would have really been taken down.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Song Zhi came, he led the troops out without saying a word.

If you do this, the consequences will be serious!

This is what Han Chong thinks in his heart.

But it turned out that Han Chong was overthinking.

After Song Zhi led his troops to pursue and kill the Hu people, he achieved a glorious record of beheading 3,000 and capturing 10,000.

The First World War, morale was high.

Seeing that Song Zhi had gained a lot, although Han Chong had concerns, he slowly dispelled it.

He was originally worried that the other party had an ambush, but he didn't expect it to be a rout.

"I'll just say, this group of people don't know the art of war, they are not civilized, they are dull, they are useless except brute force, but General Han is restrained, and he smells the color of the bearded people, which is really insulting to the majesty of my country!"

was criticized by Song Zhi like this, although Han Chong couldn't hold his face, he couldn't help it.

Although his Han family is a northwestern crown family, it is still not comparable to the Song family.

The Song family is one of the four great scholars in Kyoto, and Song Sheng is even more powerful, although he is retired, his influence is not low at all.

Han Chong had no choice but to apologize to Song Sik, saying that he had made a mistake in judgment.

In this regard, Song Zhi looked down on him a little.

He felt that the Han family had enjoyed the blessings in the northwest for too long over the years, and they had forgotten the most basic will to fight, and they did not have the blood of a man in the northwest at all. Han Chong himself is also, although he is in his forties, but looking at it, he doesn't look like a Northwest man, but feels like a Confucian general who likes to use tricks.

After accusing Han Chong, Song Zhi decided to lead his troops to fight back, he wanted to completely subdue these Qiang and Hu people, and make them give up their snooping on the Su State.

Hearing that Song Zhi was going to lead troops to fight the Qiang and Hu people, Han Chong immediately advised him.

In Han Chong's opinion, Song Zhi was able to win this time, because he didn't expect them to fight, the Qiang people had just left, they had lost their allies, and it was normal to have such a defeat.

But it would have been unwise to take the initiative to leave the Lanshan defense line and chase it out.

Hearing Han Chong's words, Song Zhi immediately ridiculed him.

said that Han Chong cowered and didn't dare to make a move, if he was really scared, he would honestly shrink into the fortress and don't go out.

He himself chased out with his troops!

Seeing that his persuasion was hopeless, Han Chong had to shake his head helplessly.

And this time, Song Zhi wanted to go out to fight the Qiang people and the Hu people, not only took away the 30,000 Xiao cavalry battalions he brought, but also took away the 20,000 soldiers of the Lanshan defense line, leaving only 20,000 troops in the main passes and fortresses of the Lanshan defense line.

According to Song Zhi's idea, that is, to complete the battle and make the Qiang and Hu people afraid of the Su State, when the time comes, there will be no need to stuff so many troops on the northwest border.

You must know that at the beginning of the Celestial Empire, there were at most 10,000 people on the northwest border, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled.

Why did you dare to be so relieved in the first place? It's not that the Qiang and Hu people at that time knew that the Celestial Empire was not easy to mess with, and they could fight 10,000 people, but after beating these 10,000 people, they would be faced by the most famous generals and the most elite troops of the Celestial Empire.

They can still tell which is more important and which is more important.

What Song Zhi wants to do this time is to regain the glory of the original Celestial Empire.

He Song Zhi is also a famous general in the world, and the cavalry battalion in his hand is even more elite, plus 20,000 elite Northwest Army, there is no problem with combat effectiveness at all.

But the problem is that there is no problem.

After Song Zhi led his troops out of the Lanshan defense line, his original intention was to find the Hu people's army first, fight a decisive battle with the Hu people's army, and then come over to deal with the Qiang people after the Hu people were repulsed.

Well thought! Pity......
