Liu Xi glanced at Wang Fu. He didn't expect that Wang Fu was right.

Sure enough, the Xixia people didn't want to fight, so they just moved their army here to disgust the Song Dynasty and put pressure on Zhao Guan's family.

However, Liu Xi had just received Liu Qi's order in the morning and was preparing to pretend to attack the Xixia Army in the north of Weirong Village.

Liu Xi said: "This is a big matter, and it's not something I can have the final say on."

Ye Cirong said: "The general can give feedback to us. Our request is not excessive. As long as your country can return Yinzhou, the previous conflicts will be wiped out."

"Okay, we promise you to provide feedback." Wang Fu on the side said, "You are right, a war between the two countries does not benefit anyone, and we have always upheld the idea of ​​peace between the two countries."

Hearing what Wang Fu said, Ye Cirong was very happy. He didn't expect Song Jun to relent so quickly.

It seems that the Song army is indeed afraid.

After Ye Cirong left, Liu Xi said excitedly: "Reorganize the army immediately!"

Ye Cirong returned to the commander's camp and truthfully reported the negotiations at the Song Army Camp today to King Shu Li Renli and the commander-in-chief Li Liangfu.

Li Liangfu said: "The Song Army agreed so easily to the upward feedback. Is it a delaying tactic by the Song Army?"

Li Renli shook his head: "How long can the Song Dynasty's conquest of Goryeo be postponed? Since this matter has been raised, I can boldly urge the Song army and tell them that as long as Yinzhou is returned to us, we will withdraw our troops immediately!"

I don’t believe they really dare to do it!”

"What if we really do it?"

"If we really take action, we will continue to increase our troops. There are still 20,000 elite troops in Xiazhou, 10,000 in Yuzhou, and 50,000 capable soldiers in Wangcheng. Let the Song Dynasty see our determination and see how far they can carry it.

step!"

Li Liangfu muttered: "This is not about a full-scale war with Song Dynasty."

"You don't understand. This is called constantly increasing the chips to deter the current Song Dynasty!"

Li Renli felt as if he was standing on the top of a mountain overlooking all living beings.

It feels so good to have control of the overall situation!

On the morning of the sixth day of November, it was still dark, and the sky and the earth were pitch black, with only the sound of wind and snow.

The sentries are still standing guard around, but the Song army in the military camp has already taken action.

Liu Xi came out of the camp and looked at the soldiers lining up quickly around him.

Wang Fu came over and said: "The Xixia people have about 30,000 troops in Weirong Village, of which the number of regular troops is estimated to be 10,000."

"The Xixia people can't make a difference, I've long wanted to teach them a lesson!"

"We should not take it lightly. Intelligence shows that the Xixia people's armaments have greatly improved in the past two years." Wang Fu said, "Liu Shuai asked us to create momentum in the north of Weirong Village and attract some of the main Xixia forces to the north of the city. First, send an army

The former army goes to lead the battle."

Liu Xi said impatiently: "I know!"

At dawn, the Song army began to take action.

The ground was dyed white, and the whole world seemed clean.

Everyone wore thick clothes and walked silently and quietly in the snow, making a "creak" sound under their feet and leaving a long trail of footprints.

In the morning, the scouts ran to the Xixia Deputy General's camp north of Weirong Village and reported an urgent piece of information: the Song army was rapidly approaching this direction.

This news immediately cheered up the Xixia generals who had been sleeping here for more than half a month.

Not long after, the sound of trumpets sounded in the Xixia military camp.

The whole army began to assemble.

When Xiang Lirongan walked out of the tent, he put on a brand new armor. This was a heavy-duty iron armor. The style imitated Song's infantry armor, but with obvious changes.

In the past, the Xixia people did not have the money to make such armor, but in recent years, Li Qianshun has made a lot of money doing border trade with the Song Dynasty.

Not only did the generals have iron armor, Xixia's armor wearing rate also increased significantly.

At this time, at a glance, the Xixia soldiers gathered together were also wearing iron armor.

And depending on the military camp where it was organized, the style of the armor was also different.

There are heavy armor and light armor.

Go to Lirongan, get on your horse, and walk towards the Xixia cavalry regiment.

There is a cavalry force of thousands of people here, and they are iron cavalry, each equipped with three horses.

Although it is not as good as the heavy armored cavalry of the Iron Harrier, the equipment of this kind of iron cavalry is almost close to that of the Jin Guaizima.

It seems that Li Qianshun has invested heavily in military equipment in recent years.

The military strength of the Xixia people has obviously increased!

At this time, the thousand-sized cavalry had already lined up. They were wearing black armor, helmets, axes, iron bones, and spears, and they looked murderous.

"Song Dog is here!" Xiang Li Rongan shouted and pulled out his knife, "Let them taste the power of our iron hooves!"

Everyone immediately shouted: "Kill Song Gou! Kill Song Gou! Kill Song Gou..."

The sound rolled in the wind and snow, and the Xixia infantry, crossbowmen, and logistics soldiers and civilians who had gathered around them also shouted loudly in weird Xixia dialect.

When the Song soldiers and civilians in Weirong Stronghold heard such a sound, they immediately took action. Groups of Song troops boarded the city and immediately began to strengthen their defenses.

Not long after, the scout came to report: "Report! The main force of the Song army has arrived five miles away!"

"How's the array?"

The adjutant on the side said: "Reporting to the general, the forward array has been completed, the left wing has also been completed, and the right wing is still a cup of tea away."

Climbing the hillside toward Lirongan, I saw at a glance thirty thousand troops lined up on the snowy field.

The front army is a heavy armored corps.

They have lined up neatly, forming a condensed steel in that area.

As for the Xixia people's iron cavalry, they were hidden behind the hillside.

At this time, the Song army had also approached Weirong Village.

Liu Xi ordered the entire army to stop and began to put on armor.

Although the weather was cold and freezing, the Song army moved very quickly and quickly formed a military formation.

Wang Fu said: "The scouts have just sent news that the Xixia people have been waiting in formation, and there seem to be many armored soldiers in the Xixia forward camp. It seems that the previous rumors are true. The Xixia people have equipped a group of soldiers in the past two years. Elite.”

Liu Xi said: "The Western thieves have been defeated by our army many times over the years, so why should we be afraid?"

"Don't underestimate the enemy. The Western thieves will definitely have cavalry hidden and will be sent to the battlefield at the critical moment."

"The cavalry may not be able to break the formation if they encounter my infantry!"

Wang Fu said: "Deputy Manager Liu, don't rush to a decisive battle. Liu Shuai arranged for us to build momentum and attract more main forces of the Western thieves."

Liu Xize said: "Our army only needs to beat the drums and shout, and the friendly troops in Weirong Stronghold will definitely respond and come out of the city to attack the Western bandits!"

"but……"

"The military situation on the frontline is ever-changing and we cannot follow the rules!" Liu Xi rejected Wang Fu's proposal. "The Western thieves think that we dare not take action. Now is the perfect time to catch the Western thieves by surprise!"

Wang Fu did not object again. He was absolutely right in what Liu Xi said.
Chapter completed!
