Chapter 245: The Evil Recipe Everywhere
Xihe Six States!
The two huge cavalry were constantly entangled, but it was clear that the outnumbered Song army had the upper hand.
As soon as Tiefutu and Kidnapping Horse appeared, they immediately achieved brilliant results!
20,000 Song troops and 100,000 Qingtang cavalry fought many times, and the Song army won successive battles under the powerful impact of Tiefutu! The Qingtang cavalry lost their armor and suffered heavy losses, so they could only retreat in defeat.
When the Qingtang cavalry got rid of the pursuit of the Song army and retreated to the plateau, only 40,000 of the 100,000 Qingtang cavalry remained, and the other 60,000 were either killed on the battlefield or captured by the Song army.
Looking at the remnants of the defeated soldiers around him, Ali Gu really understood what it meant to steal chickens and rice.
Weak Song! Weak Song! This is the recognition of the Great Song Dynasty by the people of the world.
Everyone in the world knows that the Great Song Dynasty is weak and has been defeated repeatedly in the face of Liaoxia, but today he finally understands that Qingtang is the weakest side.
These 100,000 cavalry were originally the foundation of Qingtang's rise, but now they have lost all their losses in the first battle, and the rest survived, and I am afraid that they will no longer have the fighting spirit, and Qingtang has lost the foundation for hegemony in the world.
"Father, what should we do now?" The prince said blindly.
"What else? For today's plan, the only way to be a vassal to the Great Song Dynasty is to pay attention to it again, and you immediately send an envoy to Bianjing, saying that Qingtang was deceived by the Western Xia, and now he has awakened and decided to sign an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty, and the two countries will never be at war from generation to generation. Ali Gu looked up to the sky and sighed, and said dejectedly.
After he succeeded to the throne, he was ambitious and intended to restore the glory of Tibet, but the failure of two consecutive attacks on the Great Song Dynasty made him completely disheartened.
"The marriage between Qingtang and Western Xia?" Blind Zheng is a little reluctant, it is said that the appearance of the Liang family's concubine is beautiful and fragrant, he is extremely moved, and now Qingtang wants to make peace with the Great Song Dynasty, and this marriage is probably going to be invalidated.
"The marriage continues!" Ali Bone said unexpectedly.
"Ahh Blind Zheng was suddenly shocked, and looked at Ali Gu in great confusion.
"Qingtang is now greatly damaged, and has offended the Great Song Dynasty, so he can only unite with the Western Xia to resist the Song Dynasty, and only by letting the Great Song Dynasty throw himself into the rat trap, Qingtang can protect itself, this is the way to survive in a small country." Ali Bone taught.
"Father is wise!" Blind Zheng admired.
Ali Gu suddenly smiled bitterly, if he was wise, he should continue to hibernate, and he should not believe the instigation of Western Xia, so that Qingtang fell into danger.
"Cold forging armor!"
Ali Gu looked back at the six states of Xihe, and couldn't help but think of the picture of the iron floating slaughter rampage, Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty both had cold forging armor and mounted cavalry, but Qingtang lacked iron weapons, I am afraid it will be more difficult in the future.
But fortunately, Qingtang has a unique advantage, that is, the gas epidemic, as long as other armies attack Qingtang, they will be infected with the air epidemic, and the combat power will be greatly reduced.
Since Da Song can't help him, he gave Da Song a chance for peace, presumably Da Song won't be ignorant! Ali Gu didn't think so, he didn't care about whether Da Song accepted his request for peace, and in his opinion, Da Song didn't dare to make another enemy.
………………
Under the city of Pingxia!
Bloody siege battles are staged over and over again!
The Xia army withstood the huge damage of the divine arm crossbow and the earth-shattering thunder, risked death to charge towards Pingxia City, and when he paid huge casualties and was about to break through Pingxia City, the fierce fire oil tank unsurprisingly spewed flames again.
The burning of alcohol was extremely rapid, and it was everywhere, and countless Xia soldiers fell to the city with fire all over their bodies, and the siege momentum of Western Xia was once again curbed.
Under the intensified counteroffensive of the Song army, the Xia army was once again repulsed.
"It just doesn't make sense! There were so many deaths in Western Xia, even if the corpses of soldiers were piled up, they could also pile up the walls of Pingxia City, how could they not break through Pingxia City. Empress Dowager Xiao Liang said angrily, although she exaggerated a lot, claiming to be a million army, and carrying nearly 500,000 troops, but she was helpless with the small Pingxia City, how could she accept it.
Wei Ming Ah Wu smiled bitterly: "What the Queen Mother said is extremely true, but the Great Song Dynasty has found a way to crack this siege method!" ”
Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was shocked when she heard this, and immediately looked at the city wall of Pingxia City.
I saw that on the Pingxia City, a group of Great Song soldiers were pouring alcohol on the corpses of the Western Xia soldiers who were about to pile up the city walls, even if the distance was far, the strong smell of wine still wafted away.
"Ignition!"
With Yang Weizhong's order, a rocket shot out from the city wall of Pingxia City, instantly igniting the alcohol that Song Jun had spilled just now.
In an instant, a dark blue flame ignited under Pingxia City, and at the same time, an extremely unpleasant smell of corpses permeated the entire battlefield.
"What is this?" Empress Dowager Xiao Liang frowned.
Wei Ming Ah Wu said with an embarrassed face: "Song Jun is setting the corpse on fire. ”
"Corpses can also be ignited?" Empress Dowager Xiao Liang said in disbelief.
"It doesn't seem to be possible with the human body alone, but it is enough to pour fierce fire oil." Wei Ming Ah Wu smelled the stench wafting from the battlefield and said helplessly.
Using the corpses of the Xia army to level the Xia City is the last way for the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang to break the city, and it is also an evil trick that all dynasties can't wait to use, but this trick is actually defeated by the evil trick of the Song army.
"If you attack for a long time, you will win, and if you defend for a long time, you will lose."
In the battles of all dynasties, it is a recognized experience, as long as the siege regardless of casualties, theoretically there is no unbreakable city wall, the least use of corpses to fill the city wall, can also capture the city, of course, the casualties paid are extremely heavy, but it is also a success in the end.
And now under the city of Pingxia, the Song army ignited the corpse with alcohol to break this method of breaking the city that has been passed down through the ages.
"First there was a fierce fire oil tank, and now the corpse is set on fire with alcohol, where did Song Jun and Song Jun come up with an evil trick!" Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was angry and said, she was originally full of confidence in this battle, but now she has suffered setbacks one after another.
Suddenly, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang couldn't help but be stunned, glanced at each other with Wei Ming Ah Wu, and said in unison: "Evil doctor Fan Zheng!" ”
………………
"It's also the first time that Yang knows that a corpse can be ignited with alcohol!"
On the walls of Pingxia City.
Yang Weizhong wore a mask and sighed with emotion for the rest of his life.
When the Xia army attacked Pingxia City regardless of casualties, and the corpses were about to pile up on the city wall of Pingxia City, almost all the soldiers of the Song army fell into despair.
At this moment, Yang Weizhong finally activated the defensive strategy set by Fan Zheng, although he used a lot of alcohol to ignite the corpse of the Xia army under the city wall, and finally resolved the danger of breaking the city of Pingxia City.
"This method is too evil! Isn't it hurtful to the heavens and the peace? "One of the generals smelled the stench on the city walls, and he couldn't bear to say it.
"Evil?" Yang Weizhong sneered, "If I tell you that this method was born out of Fan Taicheng's recipe to calm the plague, do you still think that this method is evil?" ”
"A cure for the plague?" The general was surprised.
Yang Weizhong nodded and said: "At that time, in Luoyang City, in order to avoid the plague raging, Fan Taicheng ordered all the dead who died of the plague in Luoyang to be cremated, which curbed the Luoyang epidemic, so the phenomenon that the corpse could be ignited was discovered. ”
"I see!" The general suddenly realized.
"On the battlefield, everything is done, igniting the corpse of the Xia army, which can not only save Pingxia City and block the Xia army, but also reduce the outbreak of the plague, for my Great Song Dynasty, what is it not a good prescription?" Yang Weizhong said in admiration.
Although Fan Taicheng did not participate in the battle of Pingxia City this time, there was always the shadow of Fan Zheng in this battle, dominating the battle situation of Pingxia City.
"The Queen Mother is angry, Pingxia City can't be attacked for a long time, and Weichen thinks it's time for the Queen Mother to make another plan." Wei Ming Ah Wu admonished.
"Something else?"
Empress Dowager Xiaoliang suddenly raised her voice, she naturally knew that the so-called other plan was probably the meaning of retreating, but the first time she failed in Pingxia City, her prestige in the country dropped sharply, and now she brought the troops of the Western Xia country to attack, and before Pingxia City was defeated, how could she be willing to retreat.
"Impossible? My Western Xia million army came to attack, and not even a single Pingxia city was captured, and it was spread out, how does the world view my Western Xia. Empress Dowager Xiao Liang's face was pale.
This time, she mobilized the public, on the one hand, because she wanted to be ashamed, and on the other hand, it was for the national fortune of Western Xia.
The establishment of Pingxia City made Xixia like a mang in the back, like a fish in the throat, restless, if the nail of Pingxia City could not be pulled out, Xixia would be suppressed by the Great Song Dynasty, constantly weakened.
In addition, the Great Song Dynasty directly cut off the New Year's coins of the Western Xia and closed all the fields, which made the Western Xia even worse, whether it was from personal prestige or the national fortune of the Western Xia, Pingxia City must be broken.
Wei Ming Ah Wu couldn't help but sigh, now that the offensive route piled up with the corpses of Western Xia soldiers has been ignited by alcohol, if Western Xia wants to attack again, then he needs to find another section of the city wall, and once again he will not hesitate to fill it with human lives, and how many lives of Western Xia men will be lost.
Suddenly, a piece of news came, which once again caused a violent earthquake within Western Xia.
"What, the 100,000 Qingtang army is defeated!" Under the city of Pingxia. Empress Dowager Xiaoliang got the battle report of Qingtang and was immediately struck by lightning.
She originally thought that with the troops of the whole country of Western Xia coming to attack, coupled with the 100,000 cavalry of Qingtang, the two sides would respond to each other, and such a huge force would definitely be able to defeat the Song State in one battle, and achieve her fame.
However, under Pingxia City, she once again broke the halberd and sank into the sand, and the army besieged Pingxia City for many days, but instead of taking it, it suffered heavy losses.
The Qingtang cavalry, on which she had high hopes, not only did not contain the Great Song Dynasty, but was also easily defeated by the Song army.
"A bunch of rubbish!" Empress Dowager Xiao Liang gritted her teeth and said, at this moment she was completely disappointed in her waste brother Liang Yiqi, if she could share a little pressure for Western Xia, how could the situation in Western Xia be like this.
Wei Ming Ah Wu sighed and said: "There is news from the Prime Minister that the Great Song Dynasty has cracked the cold forging armor and secretly formed three thousand iron floating slaughter and tens of thousands of well-defended light cavalry. ”
Although Wei Ming Ah Wu and Liang Yi did not agree, they also knew at this moment that it was not the time for infighting, and the news that the Great Song Dynasty had cracked the cold forging armor was extremely unfavorable to Western Xia.
"Song Guo also has his own iron harrier?" Empress Dowager Xiaoliang couldn't help but be shocked.
You must know that the cold forging armor, but the treasure of the town of the Western Xia, the iron harrier wearing the cold forging armor is the winning weapon of the Western Xia repeated battles, and now it has been cracked by the Great Song Dynasty, with the financial resources of the Great Song Dynasty, it will definitely be a large-scale forging of cold forging armor, I am afraid that the advantage of the Western Xia Iron Harrier will no longer exist.
"Da Song, this thief!" Empress Dowager Xiaoliang gritted her teeth and said.
The Western Xia repeatedly defeated the Great Song Dynasty, not only because of the bravery of the Western Xia soldiers, but also because the weapons of the Western Xia were more advanced, whether it was the divine arm crossbow or the cold forging armor, the first place where it was invented was the Western Xia.
And now all of them have been cracked by the Great Song Dynasty, the divine arm crossbow is on the city wall of Pingxia, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Xia army, and the cold forging armor has formed three thousand iron floating slaughter for the Great Song Dynasty, and light cavalry, so that the Qingtang cavalry has been defeated.
"From now on, the Great Song Dynasty has been on par with the Western Xia in terms of weapons, although the Western Xia has an advantage in cavalry, but in terms of troops, the Great Song Dynasty is far superior to the Western Xia, the offensive and defensive momentum of the Song Xia has changed, the Queen Mother retreats! Otherwise, 3,000 Tiefutu will come from the Xihe River, and our army may be in danger of being wiped out. Wei Ming Ah Wu admonished bitterly.
"The danger of total annihilation!" Empress Dowager Xiaoliang couldn't help but be shocked.
As the Empress Dowager of Western Xia, she naturally knew the terrible thing about the Iron Harrier, and suddenly increased the Iron Floating Slaughter by three thousand, so that the advantage of the strongest combat power of the Iron Harrier of Western Xia was lost.
Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was undecided, on the one hand, the country hated personal enmity, on the other hand, Pingxia City, which had been unable to attack for a long time, and the Tiefutu that defeated 100,000 Qingtang cavalry was coming.
"The Han people have a saying, if you leave the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, the Great Song Dynasty will not hurt the soldiers of Jingyuan, and it will still not hurt the muscles and bones, if we lose this million army, I am afraid that the Western Xia will be in danger of destroying the country." Wei Ming Ah Wu admonished.
Although the Western Xia is half farming and half herding, it still has not changed the habits of nomads in its bones.
Now that Pingxia City is no longer able to do anything, the risk and the gain are not proportional, and Xia Jun's first reaction is to preserve his strength and wait for the opportunity.
"Please think twice!" A number of party nobles also asked for advice.
Empress Dowager Xiaoliang saw that nothing could be done, Pingxia City continued to attack the city, but it was never able to break through, and the Great Song reinforcements were nowhere to be found, and the more it dragged on, the more dangerous the situation of the Xia army became.
"Pass the order down and withdraw the troops overnight!"
In the end, Empress Dowager Xiao Liang ordered in despair.
"The Queen Mother is wise!" Wei Ming Ah Wu and other party generals breathed a heavy sigh of relief, the battle of Pingxia City was too cruel, the divine arm crossbow was extremely sharp, the earth-shattering thunder was amazing, and the fierce fire oil tank was extremely tragic, such a tragic battle exceeded everyone's expectations.
On the second day, Pingxia City waited for the attack of the Xia army, but found that outside the city wall, it was already empty.
"Xia Jun has retreated! We won! On Pingxia City, all the Song soldiers cheered.
The small city of Pingxia once again created a miracle, repelling the siege of hundreds of thousands of Western Xia troops twice in a row, which was unique in the wars of the Great Song Dynasty.
Looking at the direction of the retreat of the Western Xia army, Yang Weizhong couldn't help but show a sneer and said: "Poor Empress Dowager Xiaoliang doesn't know, since all her actions are under the calculation of the evil doctor Fan Zheng's Zhu Youshu, then how could her retreat Fan Taicheng's Zhu Youshu not be expected?" ”
"What does the general mean? Our army had long expected the defeat of Western Xia? The general exclaimed in disbelief.
Yang Weizhong nodded and said: "Outside Pingxia City, there are naturally reinforcements from the Great Song Dynasty, if Pingxia City is in danger, the reinforcements will naturally come to the rescue, if Pingxia City can hold on, these reinforcements will become ambushes!" ”
Three days later, sure enough, news reached Pingxia City, and General Guo Cheng led the Song army to ambush the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang and inflict heavy losses on the Xia army.
In this battle, the Great Song Dynasty won consecutive battles and shocked the world.
