The news that King Wang led his army into the court was released, and the entire Hebei was instantly covered with war clouds......

It was clear that he was going to do it.

The armies that the gentry from all over Hebei put together immediately began to move towards the front line, and this time he did not go to Kaifeng, but purely solved the resistance of the Hebei gentry, so he could only attack Zhending and take Zhan Du, the leader of the rebel army, to destroy the will of the Hebei gentry to resist.

It's as simple as that.

As long as you can defend it to the death, and then thwart his attack.

Therefore, those in various places named after all kinds of messy military numbers called official troops, but in fact, all the mercenaries who were trained in regiments flocked to Zhending.

The supplies cobbled together by the gentry from all over the country also poured into Zhending, filling the fortress with a circumference of twenty-four miles.

This Zhenzhou City, which was originally one of the three towns of Heshuo in the Tang Dynasty, became the focus of attention in the world.

And then......

Wang Yue stopped again.

As for the reason, it is also very simple.

The army of Muhan marched south to break through Bei'anzhou, which was controlled by Xiao Gan.

The latter was defeated with a group of remnants and had to flee back to the mountains and forests, so that Muhan once again threatened Gubeikou and Xuanhua and other places, and Yang Zongmin, who was originally stationed in Xuanhua, had been transferred to the western front to prepare to attack Western Xia, in which case Wang Yue had to temporarily stop going south.

Then he personally led the army out of Juyong Pass to deter Sticky Han.

However, the latter actually has no ability to attack the area controlled by the Song army again, and the reason why Mu Han beat Xiao Gan violently is only because Xiao Gan is the weakest, and this bastard has not been pulled down once in these years, and he has not been missing in every war in which Wang Yue humiliates the Dajin Kingdom. Although this bastard is as weak as a wild dog, this wild dog always keeps jumping out behind Sticky Han, at least barking wildly, and even being bitten by him if he is not careful.

Sticky Han couldn't bear him.

And this Xi people's signboard is jumping, and it also has a great impact on the Xi people of Dajin Kingdom, and the Xi people have been fleeing from Dajin Country all these years, and even Xi people have fled Liumeng'an.

These taunts are fierce and restrained, almost one with the Jurchens.

So Mu Han did not provoke Wang Yue, but continued to hunt down Xiao Gan.

In this case, Wang Yue, Zhang Ying, and even Chi Zhanhui and Han Qingmin had to send troops to take the initiative to attack Sticky Han in order to rescue Xiao Gan, who was chased like a mouse, and in the next three months, the two sides continued to fight on a small scale in the ravines of the Rehe Mountains. There could also be no large-scale battles there, only small groups of cavalry chasing and ambushing in the ravines, and in such battles the Jurchen soldiers had the highest superiority, that is, the victorious army with the three-eyed guns could fight against them.

No one else can beat them.

In this kind of skirmish, which lasted for three months, the losses of soldiers on both sides were not large, but those old and weak women and children of the Xi people were unlucky, and the Xi country, which had a population of less than 200,000, lost at least one-third, and the only gain was that the Song army recovered Bei'anzhou.

Sticky Han withdrew to Zhongjing.

Then Wang Yue handed over Bei'an Prefecture to Xiao Gan.

At the same time as the fierce battle between all parties in the Rehe Mountains, the Great Song Dynasty's punishment war against the Western Xia also kicked off after the Western Xia clearly refused to give up the New Year's coin, handed over the Western Xia soldiers in the last conflict, sent an envoy to Kaifeng to apologize, and compensated one million guan for it.

The scope of this war is extremely wide.

It can almost be said to be a full-scale attack on Western Xia.

On the northern line, Yang Zongmin and Guo Qizhong's allied forces marched west along the Yellow River to sweep Wuliang Suhai, although the latter was the envoy of the Tiande Army of Daliao, but now the Song-Liao Alliance, so it is also obliged to participate.

Of course, the main reason is that he is reluctant to give this opportunity to step on Xiao Hulu for the last time.

Zhe Keqiu Department into the Yanyan Road, from Suide to attack the Western Xia Yinzhou, Shanxi merchants' camel team for him to solve the logistics problem, in Taiyuan has always been a stone of wheat, transported to Suide is three runs, and then in Suide grinding into flour to make fried noodles and transported to the front line, roughly equivalent to five runs, this kind of one-to-five profiteering makes Shanxi and other places businessmen are simply crazy.

It's like picking up money.

Of course, many of these businessmen are also raised by the Folded Family, the Yang Family, and the Li Family.

And because of the rise of the last war exploits, Han Shizhong, the envoy of the Yanyan Road, led the armies of the headquarters of the Yanyan Road to attack Hongzhou and Longzhou in Western Xia, with the goal of joining forces with the Zhikeqiu Department in Xiazhou, and then taking all the states of Western Xia in northern Shaanxi. When the time comes, the population in this area will be captured and sold to Wang Yue, and they will occupy the territory and force the Western Xia to pay for redemption, anyway, the Western Xia cannot lose this area, once this area is lost, the Song army will be able to directly attack Xingqing Mansion, and there will be nothing more than three hundred and a half miles of desertified grassland left in the middle.

There are no mountains, rivers and forests in between.

The cavalry took the camels as a transport team, and they went directly to the core area of Western Xia in three days, and they killed people and destroyed their crops when they saw them on a trip to travel once a month, and they had to starve to death in Western Xia in less than two years.

After following Wang Yue to raid Liaodong, Han Shizhong was already well versed in this frenzied tactic.

Yao Gu led the main force of his subordinates to attack the target Weizhou from Huanzhou, and then continued to attack Xiping Mansion to make a gesture of attacking the hinterland of Western Xia.

The central part of the division moved north from the Zhenrong army, aiming at Yingli and Mingsha, in order to cut off the passage between the core area of Western Xia and Xiliang.

Xin Xingzong attacked Xiliang Mansion.

This Yao Gubu is the absolute main force, because he has to face the core area of the Western Xia, and the main combat mission is in the division, because he has to face the Western Xia must go all out to rescue, once he takes this land, which is actually equivalent to the modern Zhongwei, the Western Xia will be cut in half. Han Shizhong and Zhe Keqiu need to attack the city, they need to uproot one Western Xia stronghold after another in northern Shaanxi, these strongholds may not have many troops, but they are all tenacious, fortunately they have an advantage in this.

Han Shizhong has a demolition team.

After following Wang Yue to see the power of the demolition team, his subordinates had already begun to follow suit.

At this time, even digging tunnels and blasting will be done, so those dirt enclosures in Northern Shaanxi in Western Xia should not be able to support his blasting all the way......

And so it is.

Han Shizhong's Yanyan Road Army attacked, defeated the Western Xia defenders in the field battle, he blew up the Hongzhou city wall that night, and then the excited Song army swarmed in, by the next morning, the Western Xia people who were still alive in the city of Hongzhou had all been tied up with ropes, ready to be sent to the Yan'an talent market, and those Song troops who participated in the siege were happy to count the number of people and calculate the money they could share......

"Look, this is the Great Song army that was once beaten by Western Xia!"

In the early winter sun, Wang Yue rode a moose and walked on the official road, sighing while looking at the battle report in his hand.

Behind him was a mighty army of foot cavalry.

In the fields that have been harvested on both sides, the wheat seedlings that have just been planted are green.

He finally went south to enter the court.

At this time, the Song army's punishment war against the Western Xia was also going smoothly, not only Han Shizhong's department was progressing smoothly, but the other departments were similar, as the middle of the division, Wu Jue, who was the lower striker in the middle of the division, would also use blasting siege tactics, and the division that moved from Hebei to the past also carried a large amount of gunpowder, and they continued to blow up the Western Xia fortresses along the way.

Those forts were all rammed earth.

This thing can't hold up the blasting of gunpowder at all.

Moreover, the soil in the northwest is loose and has little groundwater, which is also more suitable for digging tunnels.

These rammed earth walls are not Nanjing City, dig tunnels and stuff a few barrels of gunpowder, then leave a fuse and fill it again, and all that is left is an explosion to solve the problem.

Just blow up the opening and rush in.

The first time they encountered this tactic, many of the Western Xia troops even lost the courage to resist, they all thought that the Song army would be demonic, and in this case, there were those who took the initiative to surrender.

Although Yao Gu and Zhe Keqiu's subordinates did not understand this tactic, they all had drawings and models of counterweight trebuchets, and there was still no shortage of trees in northern Shaanxi, and even those rammed earth city walls could not stop the two-hundred-pound boulders thrown by the counterweight trebuchet. Without civilian officials in the back, sufficient military spending to bring sufficient logistics, coupled with the improvement of morale, the Song army is gradually regaining the combat effectiveness of the founding of the country.

Although it has also begun to restore the arrogance of the founding of the country.

But this one doesn't matter.

Because Wang Yue is confident enough to be able to re-solve these arrogant soldiers in the future.

Now it is to use them to dismantle the Great Song Dynasty.

"We've given them all the good stuff!"

Flowey said dissatisfied.

"Good stuff? These are some good things, and the real good stuff is here. ”

Wang Yue pointed to his head and said.

"Great King, General Shi reported that they had conquered Fucheng, but Zhang Yiqian fled with Liu Lin and Cai Songnian before they attacked the city."

An officer reported.

"Ha, I'll just say that this Zhang Yiqian has a ghost, it seems that he is really the emperor's person."

Wang Yue said.

"I'm afraid there is more than one magistrate bought by this old thief in Hebei, I'm afraid Zhan Du is too, his family is not from Fujian, he is a Fujianese, and he takes the Hebei gentry to fight against us, if you want to say that there is no old thief behind the instigation, I don't believe it, this is a pity for the Hebei gentry, this time it is considered to be the gun of this old thief, and in the end the family is inevitably ruined."

Flowey said.

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked at Zhending City in front of her.

There was no one to be seen outside the city, the city gates were closed, the flags on the city walls were like forests, and all kinds of city defense equipment were faintly visible.

"They don't want to, but unfortunately I don't give them a way out!

Go, tell Zhan Du, immediately bring the officials and gentry in the city out to greet him, saying that I am a county king, a prince, a privy secret, passing by the Zhending Mansion when entering the court, he actually dares to close the door, aren't you afraid that I will ask for Shang Fang's sword? ”

Wang Yue said.

As he spoke, he picked up Shang Fang's sword from the warhorse that followed him......

Well, his Shang Fang sword is actually the giant Mo knife, but it is specially carved with the imperial Shang Fang sword, which is punished by the heavens, and the civil and military officials cut first and then play from the second grade, and the Shang Fang swords of others are also similar lettering, but the grades of the first cut and then the prelude are different, basically they all stop at the fifth grade, and Wang Yue, who is below the second grade, is the only one.
