Soon, the news that the Western Xia and Qingtang were preparing to attack the Song Dynasty again was transmitted back to Bianjing as soon as possible.

"Xixia really doesn't die!"

Inside the arch hall! Zhao Xu said angrily.

Xixia is like a hungry wolf, staring at the Great Song Dynasty, when the strength is strong, he bites the Great Song Dynasty fiercely, and when the strength is weak, he keeps pulling helpers to deal with the Great Song Dynasty together, Zhao Xu originally thought that the Western Xia had just been defeated and would stop for a few years, but he didn't expect that he couldn't wait to attack the Song Dynasty again in the second year.

In the past, the biggest helper of Western Xia was the Liao State, and now the Great Song Dynasty used the interests of the Silk Road to bind the Liao State, and the Western Xia turned around and pulled Qingtang to deal with the Great Song Dynasty together.

"Western Xia is naturally unwilling to accept the defeat of Pingxia City, according to the news from Liang Yikui, Western Xia promised the six states of Xihe to Ali Gu, and married Ali Gu in exchange for Ali Gu's troops." Lu Dafang frowned.

Zhang Dian sneered: "Ali Gu really doesn't remember to eat, he attacked Xihe and returned from a defeat."

The strategic location of the six states of Xihe is important, Qingtang has long coveted it, and it was once sent together with the Western Xia, but it was defeated by the Great Song Dynasty, and finally Ali Gu was called a minister, which escaped a catastrophe, I did not expect that a few years later, Ali Gu recovered his strength and planned the six states of Xihe again.

"Ali Gu is relying on the plateau gas epidemic, and the Great Song Dynasty is helpless against him, and he has nothing to fear!" Su Song said helplessly.

"Plague!"

Zhao Xu couldn't help sighing, the land of Qingtang is located on the plateau, whenever the Song army attacks the land of Qingtang, they will be vigorous, the limbs are sore, shortness of breath, serious cases can even die, combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, the Tang army that fought in all directions was defeated in the land of Qingtang, the Great Song Dynasty was weak, and the Qingtang was also mainly appeased, and he did not pursue his committed, but he did not expect Qingtang to take revenge.

"Now that the two countries are attacking, I don't know if you have a good way to retreat from the enemy."

"Earthquake Thunder!"

The three prime ministers said in unison.

Now the earth-shaking thunder has become a well-deserved trump card of the Great Song Dynasty, the cost of a sky-shaking thunder is less than the usual money, but it can easily kill several enemy troops, and can interrupt the rhythm of the enemy's attack, it is simply a unique weapon to defend the city.

"Fan Aiqing, can the earth-shaking thunder made by the Ordnance Supervisor now supply the Second Song and Xia War?" Zhao Xu immediately asked Fan Zheng on the side.

Fan Zheng said proudly: "Qiqi official, in the original battle of Pingxia City, due to the rush of time, it only took nearly 10,000 sky-shaking thunders to be made, and now it has been about a year, and the ordnance supervisor has never stopped making sky-shaking thunders. “”

With the current earth-shaking thunder reserves of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Western Xia adjacent roads, each road can supply at least 50,000 earth-shaking thunders, such as Pingxia City and other special locations of the castle is a large supply of earth-shaking thunder, once the war comes, the adjacent roads will support each other, enough to gather more than 100,000 earth-shaking thunder, enough for Qingtang and the Western Xia army to drink a pot. ”

"100,000 Heaven-Shaking Thunder!"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but be very satisfied! 100,000 sky-shaking thunderbolts are only a hundred thousand yuan, which is nothing compared to the huge military expenditure, and there are so many sky-shaking thunders that are enough to make the invading enemy suffer heavy losses.

"Congratulations to the official family, my Great Song will win this battle! This time, it will definitely make the Western Xia lose its troops! Zhang Dian said proudly, he himself is extremely strong, and now the Great Song Dynasty is fully prepared, which is enough to make the head of the Western Xia break the blood, and in his heart he has a plan for how to counterattack the Western Xia.

Lu Dafang and Su Song also nodded, Western Xia has always been a big trouble in the heart of the Great Song Dynasty, every time the war is together, it makes the Great Song Dynasty tired to deal with, and it costs a lot of money and food, and now there is a thunderstorm, the gap in the Great Song Dynasty's armed forces has been greatly compensated, and there is no longer fear of Western Xia.

At that moment, with Zhao Xu's order, a large number of earth-shattering thunders were secretly sent to Xihe and other roads, focusing on guarding against attacks from Xixia and Qingtang.

Sure enough, as more and more information came, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang of Western Xia directly claimed to have mobilized a million troops, and she was bound to defeat the Great Song Dynasty in a battle.

All of a sudden, the battle of Song and Xia resumed.

"An army of millions!"

All of a sudden, the world was in an uproar.

You must know that even the Song and Liao wars did not have such a scale of troops, and this time, Western Xia can be said to have gambled on the fortunes of the country!

If the Western Xia wins this battle, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely break its muscles and bones, and if the Western Xia loses this battle, I am afraid that it will be difficult to threaten the Great Song Dynasty in the future.

At the same time, the northwest roads immediately stepped up their armaments and fortified the walls to clear the wilderness in order to prevent the Western Xia attack, among which the most important strategic location of Pingxia City was naturally the top priority.

In Fan Fuzhong, the situation in Song Xia also made Li Qingzhao worried.

"Don't worry? The population of the Western Xia country is only four million, how could it be possible to lead a million army to attack the Great Song Dynasty, according to Xianggong's guess, its strength is only three or four hundred thousand plus the people, otherwise the logistics alone is enough to drag down the Xia army. Fan Zheng comforted, hundreds of thousands of soldiers eat horses and chew every day, which is an astonishing number, and even the Great Song Dynasty can't afford it, let alone the weak Western Xia.

When Li Qingzhao heard this, she was not happy or worried, whether it was a million troops or three or four hundred thousand troops, there was not much difference between her.

"It is rumored that the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang came to attack the whole country this time, just to report the defeat of Pingxia City last year, will Xianggong still supervise Pingxia City this year?" Li Qingzhao said worriedly.

Fan Zheng looked at Li Qingzhao in surprise and said: "Your father-in-law is a doctor, and last year's battle of Pingxia City was to verify the evil prescription of the earth-shaking thunder, the divine arm crossbow and the fortress, since the evil prescription is effective, other doctors can take the medicine according to the prescription, so naturally you don't need to prescribe it personally." ”

"Xianggong thinks that this draw in Xia City can still be held?" Li Qingzhao raised his eyebrows and said.

You must know that in the battle of Pingxia City, Western Xia was defeated, and he must try his best to crack the Pingxia City tactics.

Fan Zheng said confidently: "If you want to crack the fortress tactics and avoid the lethality of the earth-shaking thunder, you must use long-range weapons to attack, this is probably the hole card of Xixia, and the biggest weakness of Pingxia City back then was that the city wall was too thin, and now after a year of repair, the biggest shortcoming of Pingxia City has been filled, plus now Pingxia City is hoarded with a large number of earth-shaking thunder, if you want to break through Pingxia City, I'm afraid Xixia can't afford such a price." ”

Pingxia City was the most important stronghold of the Great Song Dynasty to attack Western Xia, and the Great Song Dynasty naturally attached great importance to it, and the fortress was a tactic that had been proven effective in countless actual battles, and it could not be easily broken if it was prepared.

"And the ordnance supervisor has created a lot of good things, and the husband is arranged in Pingxia City, and this time it will definitely make the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang lose in Pingxia City again." Fan Zheng said proudly.

"Good stuff?" Li Qingzhao couldn't help but sigh, the good things in other places must be really good, but the good things from the Ordnance Prison are not necessarily good.

"By the way, how did Xianggong know that the target of Western Xia was Pingxia City?" Li Qingzhao said in surprise.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Because the purpose of the establishment of Pingxia City is to make Western Xia continue to bleed, and I want to get rid of it quickly." ”

As the world knows, the goal of the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang must be Pingxia City, but the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang has been maze, first Hedong Road, Yanyan Road first made a feint, and finally gathered troops to besiege Pingxia City on the original road of Jingyuan again.

At the same time, Qingtang Ali Gu saw that Western Xia was powerful, and thought that there was a cheap advantage, so he once again showed his anti-bone fangs, sent 100,000 troops, and plundered the six states of Xihe.

Qingtang and Western Xia jointly attack the Song Dynasty! The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.
