Chapter 925: Yi Yi against Yi
In order to ensure that the land was defended under the First World War, this time the Western Xia used the old capital, such as the most elite crossbowmen, the Poxi Army (Flying Artillery Army), the Mountain Soldiers (Hengshan Qiang Special Army), the Condor Soldiers and the Foreign Legion, also known as the Linglang Army, were all dispatched together.
All 200,000 are elites, and they are all sent out like the strongest iron harriers in Western Xia, in order to resist the enemy in the north, as long as they can interrupt the offensive of the Dragon Army, even if it is to form a confrontation situation, they believe that there is not enough logistical supplies, and in the end the Dragon Army can only choose to retreat, and they will have the possibility of continuing to survive in Western Xia.
After Ren De received the military order, he set off from Xingqing Mansion with a group of generals and went straight to the north.
Just when the Western Xia was ready to face the battle, the dragon army, under the leadership of Su Shi, had already passed through the Mu Us Desert and arrived at the provincial city next to the camel harbor in the west.
The speed at which the dragon army advanced greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
Ren Desu, who was on the march, learned from the Iron Harrier that the Dragon Army had taken the provincial city, and he was first surprised, followed by great joy.
Originally, he was going to fight the Dragon Army in Provincial Wei City, but the opponent's speed was too fast and he took this place in advance, so his plan had to be changed accordingly. But it doesn't matter, this is good news for Ren Desu, without it, he is in the south of the provincial city, but there are many other Western Xia armies in the north of it.
For example, the military division of Baima Qiangzhen, the military division of Chaoshun in the right wing, and so on.
When they set off from Xingqing Mansion, Ren Desu sent someone to inform them, and asked them to hurry to the provincial city to gather with him to fight against the menacing dragon army. Now that Su Shi had arrived there first, they were just attacking from both sides.
"Inform the rest of the army so that they don't have to rush to the road, and that they are always waiting for the latest orders. As soon as the dragon army attacks, we will hold them back here, and the other armies will attack the city of Shengwei, completely cutting off the back road of the dragon army."
Ren Desu said confidently. For an army of 600,000 people, it would be a terrible thing to run out of logistical supplies. It's likely to be self-defeating.
Aren't you capable? Isn't it possible to move quickly with a large army?
Well, I'll do what you want, but I just don't know how long you can bring enough food to eat, and if you don't have food, let's see how you can exert your due combat effectiveness.
Ren Desu has never fought with the real Dragon Army, he doesn't know how powerful the Dragon Army with Dragon Bullet and Dragon Thunder is now, he still looks at the situation in front of him with his previous thoughts, and it is doomed to suffer a big loss.
Ren Desu's order was issued, and he himself stopped at Dingzhou City with 200,000 elite Western Xia troops, and began to prepare enough equipment to defend the city, and put on the appearance of a decisive battle with the Dragon Army here, he just wanted to tell Su Shi, I won't go anywhere, I'm waiting for you here, do you dare to come?
The movements of the Western Xia army were soon discovered by scouts and gathered into the hands of Su Shi.
Looking at this latest battle report, Su Shi smiled, this Ren Desu dared to play tricks with himself, it seems that he has not been taught enough lessons.
"Send an order, order the people's Fifth Army and the Sixth Army to go north, destroy the two Western Xia armies there, and tell them that they can take whatever they want, and they can use any means to oppose adult men. But he also warned them that only for the Tanguts, for those Han people who were taken captive here, they must not touch a single hair, and whoever dares to break this rule will be seated in a row."
Su Shi opened his mouth, with a cold meaning in his voice.
After this expansion, the proportion of Mongols and Liao in the army increased suddenly, accounting for at least two-thirds of the total number of the army.
This is an extremely dangerous thing, once these people rebel, then with the current strength of the dragon army, it is difficult to suppress it, such a use of soldiers, ordinary people do not dare to have such courage.
But Su Shi is not afraid.
Although these alien soldiers were numerous, they all had one thing in common, that is, they were very poor.
These alien soldiers are basically the lowest soldiers among the Liao and Mongolian people before, they usually don't have enough food and clothing, and the reason why they join the army is either forced to be helpless, or just have no choice, in order to eat a mouthful.
But since joining the Dragon Army, their living conditions have changed greatly.
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that after becoming a glorious dragon army assistant peasant soldier, you will get three months of basic living supplies for a family, which makes many foreign soldiers grateful, from their birth to the present, there has never been a person like Su Shi who has treated them so well.
With this article, many foreign soldiers have already returned to their hearts, they thank Su Shi, and worship Su Shi, all they want to do is to do their best to work for Su Shi to prove their true value.
Originally, he already wanted to work for Su Shi, but now he gave them such an opportunity, and allowed them to rob and kill in the land of Western Xia, and stipulated that they could keep 20% of the looted things, and only need to hand over 80%.
What is this equivalent to, it is equivalent to Su Shi forcing out a group of vicious wolves, which is equivalent to the benefits that Su Shi gave to these people, but at the same time, it also greatly stimulated the most ferocious side in the hearts of these alien soldiers.
If you grab something, you can get 20%, so I believe that no one will restrain yourself, and it is conceivable that once these people enter the cities or villages and towns of Western Xia, what kind of destructive power will they bring.
When a person's efforts can be rewarded immediately, do you see if he will be lazy, and do you see if he will go all out?
Su Shi has captured the hearts of the people very well, and therefore, it is not impossible that the combat effectiveness of these alien soldiers will rise in a straight line, or even increase exponentially.
Of course, Su Shi still reminded them that they can't be rude to any Han people, even if this Han people are even more down-and-out than them, but they are still Han people, just by virtue of this, it is not something that other foreign races can bully, if there is really such an eyeless person, once it is found out, the entire platoon of soldiers will be guilty, and they will be seated.
Su Shi wants to conquer the world and let the Han people stand at the top of this world, but it is not enough to rely on the Han people. Proper use of some low-level personnel of other ethnic groups, and the right opportunity can also absorb some useful people to join the Han nationality, which is equivalent to giving everyone hope, which is equivalent to having more people who can work for him, which is the most effective.
After the army expanded again, almost every company had a foreign platoon, and some companies even had at least two of the three platoons made up of foreign soldiers. It was the most appropriate thing to put some of the tasks of fighting and killing into their hands.
It was really defeated, and it was a foreign soldier who died, Su Shi did not have any loss, it was nothing more than a three-month subsidy, this material was naturally an astronomical amount for others, but in Su Shi's hands, it was the tip of the hair.
If you win, the main credit is still yourself and the Han people, isn't it beautiful?
Su Shi thought carefully, he gave this order, followed by the expansion of the people's Fifth Army and the Sixth Army began to move north rapidly, from the excited faces of these soldiers, it is not difficult to see that they are full of confidence in this battle, and it is bound to win.
After dealing with the threat from the north, Su Shi ordered the army to set off from the provincial Weicheng and go straight to the Dingzhou City in the south.
Su Shi moved, and it was very fast, almost immediately after Ren Desu's order was given. And this news was quickly transmitted back to Xingqing Mansion through the Iron Harrier.
I have to say that the Iron Harriers really live up to their reputation, and all of them are extremely elite existences, and they can transmit the changes on the battlefield back to their masters as quickly as possible. The Scouts have also fought against them secretly, and it can be said that they have won and lost each other, of course, it is mostly when the dragon army wins.
But if you can't win it all, you can't stop all the actions of the Iron Harriers, so that some things that happened on the battlefield can still be transmitted back to the capital of Western Xia.
Su Shi didn't care about these, because he also had some arrangements in Xingqing Mansion, that is, the inner line of Gule.
Gu Le had surrendered to Su Shi a long time ago, and he was forced to be helpless at that time, but after he really became Su Shi's subordinate, he found that this choice was so correct.
Gule was a hero who was captured after being defeated in a battle, and was sent back to Western Xia by Zhao Song, and was once regarded as a hero at that time. After having this aura, plus Su Shi gave him a lot of gold and silver, and warned him to find a way to take refuge in Pang and establish a good relationship with him in advance.
With money and a goal, Gu Le did not disappoint Su Shi, under the power of money, he quickly became a member of the Wuzang clan, and because of his generosity, he soon became one of its core figures.
This time, when Ren Desu set out on the expedition, he originally wanted to go with Gule, after all, this is a fierce general, and taking him with him will be of great help to win the final victory in the war.
Hearing that he was going to fight with his master Su Shi, Gu Le naturally would not agree, and after sending some money out, he was left behind by the unhidden Pang Pang, the reason is that there is also a strong general in the family, otherwise, what if Zhao Song calls?
As a result, Gule was not only retained, but also entrusted with important tasks, and the safety of the entire Xingqing Mansion was placed in his hands.
When Su Shi knew this result and knew that Gu Le held the military power to protect the safety of Xingqing Mansion, he was really stunned, and then laughed.
