Chapter 1094

Listening to Gao Shize's calm analysis, Zhe Keshi opened his mouth and finally could only shut up dejectedly. Indeed, in recent years, if the court had not invested a lot of resources in Shaanxi North Road.

Even if the overall combat strength of the border soldiers on Shaanxi North Road is richer and more braver than other border towns, if they lack the Yuanyou crossbow, they will hardly be damaged, even if they are damaged, they only need to update one crossbow arm to continue to use.

Or maybe it lacks lightweight like Yuanyou Armor, the total weight of the overall armor does not exceed fifty-five kilograms, and it will hardly affect the soldiers' strong iron armor that makes various agile movements.

Then, in the battles of Shaanxi North Road, the number of soldiers will be reduced by at least 30 to 50%. It was precisely because the court gave nearly 30,000 sets of Yuanyoujia, which left 20,000 cavalrymen and nearly 60,000 Yuanyou crossbows on the road along Shaanxi North Road.

Even the terrifying weapons like Yuanyou stone throwing machine were not equipped with important city blocks in other border towns, even the North Shaanxi Road, even the Sanchakou Fort were equipped with six forts.

You should know that from last year to this year, the total output of Yuanyou stone throwing machines was only fifty. The number of those supplied to Shaanxi North Road alone reached twenty units. The remaining thirty units were sealed in the arsenal of the Song Dynasty, waiting for the opportunity to be used.

In addition to the Yuanyou stone throwing machine that Wang Yang made before, there are 36 Yuanyou stone throwing machines in the entire North Shaanxi Road.

They are all distributed in the closest to the Liao territory. There are four Wanjingkou Forts, six Sanchakou Forts, six Yanzhou Forts, eight Longzhou Forts, and twelve units in Youzhou.

These things were not the result of the emperor's efforts to fight for the North Road of Shaanxi. The 30,000 Yuanyou armor alone was enough to make many border town generals in the Song Dynasty jump.

Nowadays, the Yuanyou armor obtained by the Song Dynasty is less than 8,000, and many other border towns are even thousands, and there are as many as more than a thousand. I am afraid that except for those officers, they can be distributed to the soldiers. Haha...

"This battle has already made the determination of our Song Dynasty, and it has also made the Liao people see the sharpness of our Song Dynasty. I will stop when I see it." Wang Yang nodded and said helplessly.

It was not that he was unwilling to fight, but from a global perspective, the strength between the Song Dynasty and the Northern Liao Dynasty was similar. If it really caused a full-scale war, it would inevitably be a loss-win situation.

At that time, it is unlikely that the Northern Liao Dynasty would not be able to continue to suppress the ethnic groups on the grassland and the nu Zhi in Liaodong, and let them prosper. This was not a good thing for the Song Dynasty.

After all, the Song Dynasty is not ready to compete with the Northern Liao Dynasty, not to mention that although the Western Xia has been defeated by the Song Dynasty, nearly half of the land is lost.

But the problem is that Xixia still survived tenaciously. The Xixia king, Li Ganshun, was really a figure. With the support of the Liao Kingdom, he began to make major changes in the territory of Xixia, with the full support of Renduo Zongbao and Weiming Awu.

By following the Song Dynasty, he successively dealt with a group of conservative and clan hard-working factions, which greatly weakened the authority of the leaders and clan leaders of all ethnic groups in Dangxiang. He firmly grasped the Western Xia army in his own hands.

In addition, a large number of capable officials and officials were promoted, and the successive Western and Northern Expeditions not only captured many tribes and city-states that had previously become unscrupulous, but not only plundered a large number of people, but also expanded a lot of territory to the west and north.

If the Song Dynasty went to full war with the Northern Liao, at that time, the Western Army of the Song Dynasty would inevitably become the main force for the Song Dynasty to fight with the Northern Liao, and a large number of Western Armys would be transferred elsewhere.

So, will this ambitious Li Ganshun, who has created an elite Western Xia tiger who has been horrified by more than two years of training and has created a place in the Western Regions, watch and do nothing?

Zong Ze, who also came with him, nodded with conscientiousness, and said, "Mr. Gao is right. Although Shaanxi North Road is becoming more and more powerful now, this is just a place along the way. If it is placed in the overall situation, it is really..."

A group of senior officials and generals from Shaanxi North Road gathered in the mansion to discuss and summarize the current situation. In short, a sentence.

The Song Dynasty had to counter the fault of the Liao Kingdom, but this counter-attribute could not be too far beyond the boundaries, so as not to cause the anger of the unrestrained and moody emperor Yelu Hongji, who was the uncontrollable and moody emperor of the Liao Kingdom.

It would be fine if that guy was a wise king. He would definitely think carefully about what to do so that it would be beneficial to the Liao Dynasty and would not damage his own strength.

But Yelu Hongji is that kind of person. He is an arrogant and arrogant man who thinks he is so outstanding that he has escaped from the low-level interests.

So, you don’t understand what he will do next. More importantly, this guy has been an emperor for many years. In the Liao Kingdom, no one dares to be a leader, and no one can stop his irrational behavior.

"My dear masters, the Liao camp sent an envoy, saying that he wanted to meet General Zhong..." At this time, a general rushed to report.

"Let him come on. I also want to meet the envoy of the Liao Kingdom. I don't know what kind of news he will bring, or what kind of reaction the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty would be in the face of the current situation." Seeing the eyes of Master Zhong, Wang Yang thought for a while, stood up and said.

A quarter of an hour later, Han Shouzhuo, an envoy of Liao, who passed through the east gate of Xiazhou, came to the front of Xiazhou, looked at the fierce Song army soldiers standing at the door of the General Administration.

However, his eyes were more on the silver-sharp Yuanyou armor on the bodies of the Song army soldiers, especially the breastplate, which was completely composed of two complete pieces of armor in front and back, without any gaps at all.

And you can also see the surface of the breastplate and some small dents, which I think were left behind during the war. Especially before, in the camp, I personally asked the remnants of the defeated soldiers who escaped from Xiazhou City.

He finally understood why the Great Liao was always defeated in Shaanxi, not only the silver crossbow in the hands of the soldiers of the Song army, but also the Yuanyou armor they were wearing.

But it was something that Han had never seen before. From those people, he learned that the range and penetration of the Song army's steel crossbow not only were not inferior to that of the Divine Arm crossbow, but the important thing was that this kind of steel crossbow did not seem to be as easy to damage as the Divine Arm crossbow.

Especially when the attack on Youzhou, the Great Liao attacked Youzhou for more than a month. From the beginning, until the withdrawal of the Great Liao army, the density of the Song army's crossbow arrows was almost no fluctuation.
