The Great Song Dynasty lacks horses......

This is the death hole of the Great Song Dynasty!

Qin Wei said: "There is a horse breeding land, on the Hetao side, at the moment, we have this little cavalry, but on one side are the people, and on the other side are the Xixia people, do you dare?" ”

It's just that the Hetao area is close to the Western Xia transit, and with the soft character of the Great Song Dynasty, if you raise horses anywhere, I'm afraid it will be to reserve strategic materials for the Western Xia people.

Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty can only hope for Mei to quench his thirst at present.

He didn't look at Wang Zhen, but at Yang Kang: "I want to ...... with the enemy army Fight in the wild! ”

The room is quiet.

After a long time, Yang Kang said with difficulty: "In the past, when the Xixia people came, our army closed their doors, and they naturally left after plundering, but a certain felt aggrieved and felt ...... Saddened. The Tangut people like to drag the people of the Great Song Dynasty to the city and abuse them, listening to those cries, a certain ......"

He lowered his head and could hear sniffing.

Jiang Lai sighed: "The enemy is strong and I am weak, what can I do? ”

For Western Xia, the Great Song Dynasty did not have confidence in victory, resulting in everyone's lack of confidence now.

Qin Wei looked at Wang Zhen, "Xixia, the clown who jumped off the beam, has been arrogant for many years, and now Li Yuanhao has even established the country!" Has the Great Song Dynasty always wanted to avoid war? Wang Xiang, please be here, if you can't win, please behead someone! ”

Wang Zhen slapped the case table, got up and shouted: "Even if you want to behead the old man, you will behead the old man!" ”

Jiang Lai got up slowly and said lightly: "There is so-and-so!" A good head, take it away. ”

Yang Kang had never seen a civilian official so tough.

He couldn't help choking up and got up, "Your Excellency, please rest assured, if this battle is lost, the lower officials are willing to die on the way to the battle!" Never steal a living! ”

The blood is boiling like this, and Wang Zhen can't avoid it.

He had a seizure and kicked over the table.

"Raise your troops!"

Immediately, someone went out and shouted: "The prime minister has an order, raise troops!" ”

"Raise your troops!"

The sound kept coming out, and when it reached the army camp, it finally caused cheers.

"Raise your troops! Raise your troops! ”

Wang Zhen stretched out his hand and took the long sword and put it on his waist, and walked out with the person.

"Raise your troops! Raise your troops! ”

The cheers came, and he said to Qin Wei: "I heard that the morale was low before, why are you so happy now?" ”

Qin Wei didn't speak, Yang Kang said: "Wang Xiang, last time Fuzhou defeated the Western Xia people, Lord Qin was there, and later Lord Qin also defeated the Jiaozhi people...... Yesterday outside the city, the soldiers even saw Lord Qin kill the generals with their own eyes and annihilate the Western Xia scouts! They like to be with generals who often win battles, and as long as they follow him, the soldiers feel that they have the bottom of their hearts. ”

Wang Zhen looked at Qin Wei and said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, you have to work hard, don't be rash." ”

"Yes."

Qin Wei knew that this was his chance to become a real celebrity.

So he said very firmly: "Don't worry, the prince, our army will win this battle!" ”

……

Three days later.

When he saw a group of Western Xia rangers in front of him, Qin Wei put down his binoculars and said to Wang Zhen beside him: "Wang Xiang, the enemy army is patrolling, and the army should be behind. ”

Wang Zhen also saw it, and he asked: "The old man doesn't know the battle formation, but he can kill the enemy." If you have any suggestions, the old man will consider them one by one. ”

This attitude is really too friendly, and the generals are eager to try and want to take advantage of the opportunity.

Unlike Zhenzong's 'cowhide coaxing' back then, Zhao Heng was simply bragging, but he didn't have any experience, and he didn't even have the guts.

Although Wang Zhen spares no effort to spray people, he can't pretend to be an expert in things he doesn't understand, which is a good start.

Yang Kangce immediately stepped forward and said: "Wang Xiang, the enemy rangers are approaching and not retreating, it can be seen that there is no fear, and the lower officials feel that Li Yuanhao is not far behind. ”

Wang Zhen nodded and looked at the others.

Jiang Lai wanted to speak, but found that there was nothing to say, so he had to smile bitterly.

Even Wang Zhen said that if he doesn't understand the battle formation, he won't mix, you Jiang Lai understand? If you don't understand, shut up.

"Qin Wei!"

"Wang Xiang."

Qin Wei was observing the enemy rangers, "The days of Western Xia can be passed, but they are not good. ”

Someone was puzzled and said: "Whether their life is good or not has nothing to do with this battle, right?" ”

"Of course it does!"

Qin Wei shook his head and said: "Western Xia is not rich in China, to put it bluntly, it is poor...... Therefore, there can be no delay in going to war. Think about it, if they have a mountain of grain and grass, then Li Yuanhao can use the advantage of the cavalry to deal with us. As time goes by, we will be exhausted. ”

The man was amazed; "It's so-and-so's vision narrowed."

Qin Wei thought to himself, Brother has a thousand-year-old vision, so he can naturally crush you.

"War is never just about fighting, war connects the court and the people, the three are closely related, for the general must have a far-sighted vision, insight into the relationship between the three, so as to continue to progress."

The generals of the Great Song Dynasty probably had been quails for too long, so after hearing these remarks, some people praised: "Lord Qin's words are very true." ”

Wang Zhen also said with a smile: "The battle array cost a lot of money and food, and during the Han Dynasty, the former Han defeated the Xiongnu, but in the end, the economy was also dragged to wither." If the monarch and the general understand this truth, they will naturally not be reckless. ”

Lao Wang still felt that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a little reckless, but Qin Wei didn't feel it.

Qin Shi Huang is a tyrant, right?

But if it weren't for this tyrant to end the war with war, the Seven Kingdoms don't know how many more years they would have to fight.

If that's the case, there will be less loss? No more dead? How are the people doing?

Not necessarily.

If that were the case, the Seven Kingdoms would only be more chaotic.

"The enemy is coming!"

The scout has returned, bringing disturbing news.

"Wang Xiang, our army has traveled a long way, and the soldiers are tired...... Do you want to rest in the city? ”

Jiang Lai hoped that the decisive battle could take place while the Great Song Dynasty was waiting for work, so he suggested that the city should be defended first.

Wang Zhen snorted and said, "Will it affect morale?" ”

He didn't know how to fight, but he knew what was most important to the army.

Morale!

This is the most important thing in the army, and it is also the root cause of the main success or failure of a major war.

"Definitely."

Qin Wei began to observe the distance, and then the scout came over to ask for instructions: "Wang Xiang, the villain is ordered to check the enemy's situation before he goes out." ”

Wang Zhen nodded, and the scouts shouted, and then rushed out.

Then there was a chase battle, the scouts of the Song army were driven and intercepted by the Western Xia rangers, and fierce battles broke out between the two sides from time to time, several Song army scouts were hacked to death with random knives, but the rest did not retreat, but broke into depth.

As the arrows flew, they bravely rushed over, but the way back had been cut off.

Wang Zhen said slowly: "They ...... Aren't you afraid? ”

The brave scouts subverted Wang Zhen's view of the warriors, and he was a little worried about the warriors.

Qin Wei said: "Before the two sides fight, covering the battlefield is the first priority, and the task of the scouts is to break through this cover, find out the accurate situation of the enemy army, and pass it back if they are killed...... That's their mission, there's no choice! ”

Qin Wei's words made Wang Zhen's eyes red, this was a tragedy and sacrifice that he had never experienced.

"Old man...... Is this a fight? ”

"Yes."

Qin Wei said: "Prime Minister Wang, the lower officials ask for orders to meet them." ”

In summer, the Dahu River is a little irritable, the water flow is turbulent, the sound comes from far away, this river originates in the territory of Xixia, is one of the upstream tributaries of the Yellow River, here seems to be rich in water, but the soil quality is not good, the vegetation is sparse.

This is the style of the northwest, and Qin Wei is gradually familiar with it.

Qin Wei was waiting for Wang Zhen's decision.

Wang Zhen looked at him with a little worry in his eyes.

"Cavalry is precious, the old man can't give you too much ......"

"Yes, Xia Guan only led the 800 Northern Expeditionary Army of his headquarters."

Wang Zhen's lips moved, wanting to say too little, but in the end he nodded and said in a low voice: "Be careful, you must come back safely......"

Qin Wei nodded, turned around and shouted: "The Northern Expeditionary Army is out of the ranks, go with a certain to kill the enemy!" ”

After a period of chaos, Qin Wei set off with more than 800 cavalry.

"Aren't warriors afraid of death?"

A small official who came from the capital asked a little puzzled.

His companion didn't understand, "Go up at this time...... Although they don't understand the battle formation, they also know the danger ahead, and they still rush to go, which is really incomprehensible. ”

In the past, the warriors in their eyes were rude and cowardly.

But after arriving in the northwest, these stereotypes were gradually shattered.

Qin Wei led his cavalry all the way over, and when the intercepted enemy rangers saw that they were numerous, they avoided the middle and prepared to shoot the Song army with bows and arrows from both flanks.

"Crossbow bolts!"

As a result, before they could enter the range of the bow and arrow, they were hit by the crossbow of the Song army.

This time, Qin Wei equipped the cavalry with a large number of new bows and crossbows, which could ensure that they would be given a few waves of arrows before they came into contact with the enemy.

Yan Shu of the Third Division even took out his underwear for this, and even shamelessly went to Wang Yaochen's mansion to ask for advice on how to squeeze out more money from various ministries.

Fighting a war has always been the most expensive thing.

The fundamental reason for the failure of those modern wars after a thousand years is not on the battlefield, but in the supply and number of weapons in the rear.

Once the country's economy collapses, there will be no need to fight this battle.

Fortunately, the Great Song Dynasty was rich, although it was more spent, but it was ...... than the Western Xia Western Xia is even poorer!

At this moment, crossbow arrows flew everywhere on the battlefield, and from time to time enemy horses fell off their horses.

"Volley!"

When the enemy approached, the scattered bolts immediately turned into crossbow arrays, and the lethality suddenly increased, and few people were spared in the area covered by the crossbow arrows.

Qin Wei didn't pay attention to the flanks, he stared ahead.

Along the way, many enemy horses on both wings were shot by crossbowmen, and the rest did not dare to come closer, but shouted threats from a distance.

When he saw the smoke and dust in the distance, Qin Wei also saw the scouts who were trying to return, and the Western Xia rangers who were chasing them.

The enemy rangers were about 1,000 people, and the scouts were only about 70 left, and the huge gap made the Song army scouts have to keep running and have no room to fight back.

Moreover, the duty of the scouts is to inquire about the news and return the news, not to kill the enemy, so they are still rushing left and right in the face of great sacrifices, and they only want to go back to report the enemy.

This is the battlefield!

"They fight more and less, shameless!"

Di Qing's eyes were red, and for the first time, he gave birth to the kind of heartache between the robes.

"Lang Jun!"

Everyone was looking at Qin Wei.

Qin Wei drew his sword and said, "Then let's go and bully them once, attack!" ”
