Looking at Guo Mo who was busy eating, Huang Rong asked sensitively.
During this pregnancy, Guo Mo was by his side almost the entire time, and he found that Huang Rong seemed to be very sensitive to everything. Even though he tried his best to relax, it seemed that he was still showing off his flaws.
"It's okay. Let's eat first. Today's dishes are well cooked. You should eat more of this fish. It is good for pregnant women and fetuses."
Guo Mo was still digesting the contents of the Xixia Military News. He did not expect that things would become so bizarre. In this way, it would be possible to solve Xixia's problems in advance.
But if we really do this, even if the defeated Jin Kingdom has not yet been completely dealt with, and we have to fully face the Mongols, the front line will be too long.
In the situation in Xixia, if a complete victory cannot be achieved, Guo Mo really wants to have a force in front, even if it can only contain the Mongols, so that he can free his hands and completely destroy the Jin Kingdom.
Now it seems that there are far more people playing Xixia chess than those on the surface.
Seeing that Guo Mo was unwilling to explain clearly, Huang Rong did not continue to ask questions, and called Xiao Xiang'er and Xiao Longnu to eat more meat.
The two little girls were a few years apart, but they were both slim and thin, especially the little dragon girl, who wished she could be blown away by a gust of wind.
The longer they spent together, the more Huang Rong fell in love with Xiao Longnu.
He is always so gentle and quiet, and can solve all problems at once. Looking at Wen Wen's weak appearance, when he practices martial arts, he has a toughness that ordinary people don't have.
She is obviously only an eleven-year-old girl, but she is very reassuring. It seems that there is no need to worry that she will do anything outrageous.
Huang Rong is already a mother of three children, and her fourth child is about to be born. She really wants to have another daughter, as quiet and quiet as Xiao Longnu.
Therefore, Huang Rong prefers to stay with Xiao Longnu recently, explaining various martial arts to her, while Huang Rong watches Xiao Longnu practice.
Little Guo Xiang is still too noisy, especially in the past few months, and it has become more and more noisy.
Huang Rong also knew that the little girl and Xiao Longnu were practicing catching sparrows. As a martial arts family, practicing martial arts was something that happened sooner or later, so she didn't think it was a big deal.
However, they both learned the same martial arts, so how could Xiao Longnu be so quiet, while Xiao Xiang'er practiced catching sparrows and became more noisy than before.
Nowadays, there are very few people in Prince Yan's palace who have not been teased by this little girl. Except for teasing Feng Heng and Guo Mo, no one else can escape from this little girl's "devil's claws".
Guo Mo saw it, but stood there and laughed "haha", and said jokingly, "This is Xiao Dongxie——"
This? What does this have to do with my dad?
Huang Rong was a little confused, but Guo Mo was unwilling to explain.
Wenfu's main task now is no longer to serve Feng Heng, but to keep an eye on little Guo Xiang.
As Guo Mo said jokingly, after watching little Guo Xiang for two or three months, Wenfu even improved her self-reduction skills a lot.
Among the servants on Peach Blossom Island, Ting Xiang and Wen Fu are two relatively special beings.
They all entered Peach Blossom Island relatively early, when they were only fourteen or fifteen years old, and now they are in their early twenties.
Not only has she become a big girl, but she has also mastered all kinds of kung fu. Even if she is a third-rate girl, she can become a gang leader or elder in an ordinary small gang.
Tingxiang has a more aggressive personality, but Wenfu is just the opposite, so Huang Rong took Wenfu away from her mother and specially took care of little Guo Xiang.
As for her mother Feng Heng, Huang Rong personally selected two little girls aged fourteen or fifteen from among the maids in Prince Yan's palace and gave them the names "Nong Xiao" and "Servant Sword".
Just like Tingxiang and Wenfu's treatment back then, they can also be regarded as key training targets.
Huang Rong and the others did not intend to keep these high-status maids forever. Guo Mo was not the kind of person who kept a harem and would marry off a suitable master.
Especially Tingxiang and Wenfu, in Feng Heng's eyes, these two girls have been by his side for so many years, and he has watched them grow up, so their emotions are not much different from his own children.
After everyone had lunch, Guo Mo, as his daughter's slave, still personally sent Xiao Xiang'er to take a nap. For a child under five years old, there is no harm in getting more sleep.
When he returned to "Hongyu Pavilion" again, the remnant seats had already been removed and Xiao Longnu had left. However, Huang Rong and Li Mochou had prepared tea and looked like they were waiting for Guo Mo.
"Hongyu Pavilion" is large in area and is Huang Rong's residence, so a public dining hall and teahouse are specially arranged in the front row of courtyards.
During daily meals, Li Mochou and Xiao Longnu would also come over, and everyone would dine with Meimei.
"Can we talk now? Are there any other troubles?"
After Guo Mo sat down, Li Mochou placed a cup of brewed tea on the table in front of him before Huang Rong asked.
"Look at this-"
Guo Mo didn't say much and handed the military report sent by Meng Gong to the two of them.
Seeing that it was an official military report, Huang Rong hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took it.
Meng Gong wrote in great detail, explaining everything as clearly as possible, mixed with his own judgment and analysis.
"Sister, this...can this be true? Is it too incredible?"
Huang Rong was not as surprised as Li Mochou. She had a certain understanding of the top three in the Xixia Dynasty. The most important thing was that the current ending was almost exactly the same as her original idea.
.
As for the tortuous process in the middle, who cares?
"Brother Mo, Meng Dutong did the right thing, and this...'Princess Yincheng' did the right thing too. Since she asked for it, just pretend you don't know about it."
"It seems that apart from Meng Dutong and Zhao Dutong, only the five of us in Prince Yan's palace know about this matter. In my opinion, we should not spread it to the outside world for the time being."
Guo Mo didn't have much feelings about this matter. He had never thought about relying on external forces. It was good to have it, but he really believed in the strength of Meng Gong and his "Dun Wu Army" without him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Mochou naturally has no objections, but she just thinks this matter is too dramatic.
After thinking about it carefully, it seems that among the three of them, my "strength" and "qualification" are the weakest.
After looking at her eldest sister Huang Rong's belly, Li Mochou secretly made up her mind. It seemed that she had to work harder...
"Brother Mo, in this case, you should also hang up the plaque in the yard next to it, right?"
There are three courtyards in the back house of Prince Yan's Mansion.
In the center is Huang Rong's residence, which Guo Mo named "Hongyu Pavilion". On the right is Li Mochou's residence, which Guo Mo named "Qiu Xin Yuan". The one on the left is naturally reserved for "Princess Yincheng"
"of.
All decorations and furniture have been placed, and even the four standard maids and four boys are in place, but the plaque on the courtyard gate is still empty.
"Well, in that case, let's call that courtyard 'Yanranju' -"
While Guo Mo was in Luoyang city, waiting for the military situation in the north and south, "Vulture" Yu Chixuan and other four people set out from Lin'an. Hungry and thirsty, they traveled at dawn and stayed overnight for more than 4,000 miles and more than 20 people.
The sky finally arrived.
By the time they arrived at Zhongxing Mansion, it was already early June.
I left last year and now that I have come back, things have changed for the better part of half a year.
"Xiao Nan, Xiao Bei, you two go find a reliable person at Yipintang first and inquire about the situation of the past month or so. Your second master and I will wait for you in the courtyard to the east of the city."
Although "Vulture" Yuchixuan and "Monument Opener" Reid have a higher status in "Yipitang", when it comes to the relationship with the subordinates of "Yipitang", they are more powerful than brothers Yuchinan and Yuchibei.
Worse.
It's not a matter of character. After all, there are differences between superiors and subordinates. The existence of a superior-subordinate relationship means that not every subordinate can speak freely in front of his boss.
"Vulture" Yu Chixuan and "Monument Opener" Reid first went to a secret house they once owned. It turned out that their respective houses had been sold when they left Zhongxing Mansion.
At that time, Liu Yiniang, the "Lady of Scattered Flowers", had a good idea and kept this secret house. Unexpectedly, less than a year later, it would actually come in handy.
After being away for more than half a year, no one was left to guard the secret house. The two of them managed to clear out a few rooms that could accommodate people, and after a while at a small restaurant not far away, they returned to the secret house to rest and wait for the two apprentices.
's reply.
It wasn't until it was time to light the lanterns that Yuchi Nan and Yuchi Bei came back from the outside, and they brought someone with them. The three of them had their hands full of things, including food, drinks and other cooked food.
"Master, we are back -"
After closing the door and arriving in front of the main room, Yuchi Nan shouted softly.
"Why are you coming back now? Come in -"
"Vulture" Yuchixuan heard the voice of his adopted son and let them in.
"Xiao Yi? Why is it you?"
"Master Master, Second Master, I haven't seen you for a long time. I want to kill Xiao Yi. When I see you this time, I will take Xiao Yi with me wherever I go. There is no point in staying in the current 'Yipin Tang'."
This man's name is Du Yi, he is also a member of "Yipitang" and a native of Zhongxing Prefecture.
He had no family or sect, so he relied on his passion since he was a child. Also, with some money at home, his father often hired martial arts instructors for him.
However, if you can get tutors from home, no real skills can be found, but they are just some tricks.
In this way, from the age of eight to sixteen, Du Yi spent tens of millions of his family's wealth on hiring more than a dozen martial arts instructors, but Du Yi did not learn much real kung fu.
However, this Du Yi not only loves it, he also practices Kung Fu hard. Each lesson can only be taught for half a year, and there is nothing left to teach.
Finally, a "conscience" teacher gave Du Yi an idea to join the army directly, not to join the ordinary ranks, but to directly apply for the "Yipitang" of Xixia.
In fact, he also knew little about "Yipin Tang". He only knew that there were many people with strong martial arts skills there. Since Du Yi wanted to learn kung fu, it should be about the same for him to go there, right?
Du Yi, this kid, still accepted death and knew about the existence of "Yipin Hall", so he waited at the gate of Xixia Palace every day.
Since "Yipitang" is loyal to the Emperor of Xixia, it's not wrong to wait for someone at the entrance of the palace, right?
This kid was lucky. He went there for more than ten days and finally bumped into "Vulture" Yu Chixuan who was out of the palace on business.
Yu Chixuan, a man with an evil face but a kind heart, was stopped by Du Yi, a stupid young man, and almost hit him in the chest.
When he asked Du Yi where he came from, he cursed "Nonsense", mounted his horse and left again.
"Vulture" Yuchixuan didn't take this matter to heart. He was ordered to leave the city and go to Shazhou in Western Xinjiang to apprehend a murderer.
It took more than three months of hard work to bring the notorious horse bandit to justice. After the Shazhou magistrate executed the man and the case was concluded, Yuchixuan returned to Zhongxing Mansion.
What he didn't expect was that Du Yi, a kid, would come waiting for him outside the palace every day. When a guard asked, Du Yi told the other party the appearance of Yuchixuan he met.
When the guards heard this, there was no one who didn't recognize Yuchixuan. His "vulture" characteristics were too obvious.
Ignore this young man, otherwise he hangs around the palace gate every day, how can he be allowed to do so?
"Hey kid, what's your name? How old are you?"
Children of this age are rebellious, and not many have such perseverance.
"Let me tell you, Commander-in-Chief, my name is Du Yi. He is sixteen this year, not...soon to be seventeen. He is from Zhongxing Mansion. He lives in the south of the city. You will know as soon as you inquire."
Seeing Yuchixuan greeting him, Du Yili ran over happily.
"Sixteen years old is a bit too young. You can go back first and come back to me in two years, or you can find a military camp to exercise first."
Although Yuchixuan thought Du Yi was a good kid, he already had two adopted sons and his martial arts skills were mediocre, not even third-rate, so he really didn't want to cause any more trouble.
In fact, when he accepted brothers Yuchi Nan and Yuchi Bei, he saw that they were twins. When he grew up, he realized that they were not very qualified for martial arts training.
It's just that they have been together for a long time, and Yuchixuan is not married. Even his second junior brother and third junior sister have been married for many years and have no children, so they simply treat these two apprentices as children.
Since he is his own child, the elders can only recognize whether his kung fu is good or bad.
"Commander, despite my young age, I have a lot of skills and can endure hardships. Do you think you are in need of someone to run errands or serve tea?"
"Instead of staying there for two years, I can just go to your house and be a servant for two years."
Well, Du Yi left the eldest young master of the Du family alone and preferred to work as a boy in Yuchixuan's house in order to learn kung fu?
"Oh, in that case, then you can report to my house tomorrow and drive--"
Who wouldn’t be happy to pick up a young boy for free?
The key is that Yuchixuan wanted to observe the character of this young man named Du Yi.
Yuchixuan also saw that this guy's qualifications were pretty good, at least better than his two names, but he was only a little better.
After all, in this world, it is difficult to find famous teachers, and it is equally difficult to find well-qualified apprentices.
In this way, Du Yi arrived at Yuchixuan's house, and from then on he fell into Yuchixuan's lap.
However, neither Yuchixuan nor his second junior brother or third junior sister directly accepted Du Yi as a disciple. They just gave him some pointers on his martial arts when they had time.
Even so, over the past few years, Du Yi's kung fu continued to improve by leaps and bounds, and at the age of twenty-two, he finally broke through to the third-rate level.
In terms of actual combat power, compared to Yuchi Nan and Yuchi Bei brothers, they were no less generous. From then on, Du Yi officially became Yuchi Xuan's registered disciple.
A few years later, he was one step ahead of the Yuchi brothers and reached the second-rate level.
When Yuchi Nan and Yuchi Bei went south to find their masters, they also decided to ask Du Yi to go with them.
However, the other party still had his parents here and was a native of Zhongxing Mansion, so he did not go with them and stayed in the "Yipin Hall" for the time being.
"Yipin Tang" was originally led by a half-step master like Murong Qiudi, with three first-rate masters and eight second-rate masters in charge.
Murong Qiudi left directly with three first-rate masters. The late Xixia King Li Dewang also assigned four second-rate masters to guard "Princess Yincheng". Later, Yuchi Nan and Yuchi Bei brothers went south, leaving only Du Yihe
Another second-rate master was actually put to good use by the new emperor.
Brothers Yuchi Nan and Yuchi Bei had been running around for a long time and heard a lot of news. The reason why they came back so late was mainly because they were waiting for Du Yi to come out of the palace.
Now, Du Yi is also considered a popular person in front of the new emperor Li Sui. It was not until it was almost dark that Du Yi could come out of the palace and was taken directly here by the Yuchi brothers.
"Xiaoyi, do you know how the king died?"
Yuchixuan also knew a lot about his registered apprentice. Not only was this boy good at martial arts, but he also had a good family background and had been educated for several years. Compared with the two names, he was more optimistic about him.
"Master, do you want to ask about the murderer? As far as I know, the king was indeed poisoned, but by whom, we didn't see it with our own eyes, and it's still a mystery to this day."
Naturally, Du Yi couldn't talk nonsense about this kind of thing.
"Xiaoyi, my teacher is asking you, is it possible that Li Sui sent someone to kill the king? You have to think carefully before answering. This matter is of great importance and there is no room for carelessness!"
"Vulture" Yuchixuan asked coldly.
"Master, aren't you embarrassing my disciple? Although many people in Zhongxing Mansion have rumored that the king's death was caused by the current King of Xia, no direct evidence has been found."
"Even Tuoba Hong, who was suspected of being the most ruthless, is still alive and dead without a body."
"If this matter was discussed more than a month ago, it would indeed be a big deal, but now more than a month has passed, and everyone's attention has been diverted by the war in the west."
"The 30,000 'Dunwu Army' and the 3,000 King Yan's escort troops sent by King Yan of the Great Song Dynasty are really powerful!"
"Especially the 3,000 King Yan's escorts, they fought one-on-one with the Mongolian cavalry and did not lose at all. Instead, relying on the strength of their armor, they defeated the Mongolian cavalry."
"Oh, tell me quickly, what kind of battle situation is it?"
Seeing Du Yi talking with joy, Reid, the "monument opener" next to him, seemed to be more interested.
It turned out that after Meng Gong and Zhao Chengyu entered the "Yincheng Princess" mansion, the two parties reached an agreement to establish the "Xia-Song Allied Forces", and Meng Gong, as the commander-in-chief of the alliance, had the highest command authority.
In terms of troop distribution, the Song Dynasty sent out 30,000 "Dunwu troops", and Xixia also sent out 30,000 troops, a total of 60,000 troops, stationed directly in Suzhou where the Mongols had withdrawn.
Thirty thousand Xixia troops guarded Suzhou City, while Meng Gong's 30,000 "Dunwu troops" camped five miles outside the city. The two sides became rivals.
Zhao Chengyu's three thousand King Yan's bodyguards directly became the bodyguards of "Princess Yincheng". After all, she was also the concubine of King Yan of the Great Song Dynasty and deserved such treatment.
Meng Gong took over the supreme military power, and the whole process went surprisingly smoothly, and was even unanimously welcomed by the Xixia soldiers.
After all, not long ago, the thorns in the army had been cleared away by "Princess Yincheng", and seeing the power and equipment of the "Dunwu Army" of the Song Dynasty, they were obviously much stronger than the Xixia Army.
What's more important is that the Xixia army has been defeated for several times, and no one dares to take the initiative and go head-to-head with the Mongols.
As soon as the "Dunwu Army" of the Song Dynasty arrived, the Mongols did not fight a single battle and simply retreated to the two states. The gap between the two states was too obvious.
Moreover, even the Xixia group had heard of the name "Dunwu Army" for a long time. It is said that Meng Dutong of the "Dunwu Army" was the number one general under King Yan.
Many factors led to the fact that when "Princess Yincheng" handed over the Xixia Army Tiger Talisman to Meng Gong in public, no one from the Xixia generals said anything to stop her.
There are still 10,000 Xixia troops, which are regularly distributed in Ganzhou and Xiliang Prefecture, responsible for the transportation of logistics supplies and the arrangement and maintenance of equipment.
This task is also crucial. A large amount of materials were transported from the Song Dynasty, arrived in Yinzhou, and then transferred to the front line. "Princess Yincheng" was responsible for this full-time.
Since its establishment, the army under Guo Mo has paid close attention to training and equipment. In addition to paying close attention to training and equipment, the army under Guo Mo has also done one more thing than other armies, which is to focus on "public opinion warfare."
For example, as soon as they arrived in Xixia, the famous Mongolian Tiemuge Khan immediately retreated to the two states and retreated to Guazhou with more than 20,000 Mongolian cavalry. Meng Gong would naturally make good use of such good materials.
After rationally processing and exaggerating what happened under the watchful eye, he publicized it to the Western Xia states again in the form of writing or singing.
In just a few days, the "Xia-Song Allied Forces" received various donations from the nearby Xixia people. Meng Gong refused all comers and asked the quartermaster to register them one by one, and then converted them into gold and silver at market prices before returning them to the Xixia people who supported the army.
people.
In this way, part of the military supply problem was solved, and the reputation of the "Dunwu Army" of the Song Dynasty spread throughout Xixia again.
Seeing this scene in the eyes of the 30,000 Xixia troops, they were simply dumbfounded. After leading troops in Xixia for so many years, how had they ever seen such a scene?
They lived in Suzhou City, which was protected by city walls, but the "Dunwu Army" who came from afar as guest troops camped outside the city. Thinking about it made these Xixia generals feel ashamed.
After discussing with several senior Xixia generals, they personally came to Meng Gong's camp outside the city and asked both parties to change camps.
Of course Meng Gong would not agree. This move was also Guo Mo's idea for them, including the previous "public opinion war" and returning money to the Xixia people at market prices.
Although Meng Gong didn't understand why King Yan asked them to do this at first, when everything happened in front of his eyes, even Meng Gong, who had always been steady, was stunned by this magical effect.
Can soldiers still be led like this?
Can the war still be fought like this?
Can the people still live like this?
At this time, Meng Gong, who was already extremely loyal to Guo Mo, even respected His Highness the King of Yan like a god!
"Everyone, you should be stationed in Suzhou City. It's not that Meng is talking big. If the Xixia Army is stationed in the camp outside the city, and instead of talking about fighting, you just talk about how to build the camp, patrol the camp, and defend the camp, you may not be able to do it.
good."
Meng Gong said this in a polite way. The Xixia people were really not only one level behind the Song Dynasty, or the "Dunwu Army" in terms of camp construction and defense.
Although what Meng Gong said was true, several senior Xixia generals still refused to give up.
Finally, Meng Gong came up with a compromise, asking the Xixia army to select 10,000 people and set up another camp on the side of the "Dunwu Army".
And one hundred people from the "Dunwu Army" were sent to the 10,000-strong Xixia Army to assist their centurions hand in hand.
For example, he taught the Xixia army how to set up camp and how to train. Of course, including the "brainwashing" stuff that Guo Mo had originally sorted out, Meng Gong also "intensified" and used it in the training of these tens of thousands of Xixia troops.
In just a few days, these 100 sergeants of the "Dunwu Army", as "instructors", ate, lived and trained with the Xixia troops, influencing these Xixia troops both physically and mentally.
This is also an idea that Guo Mo gave to Meng Gong. As for the result, you won’t know until you try it.
The "Xia-Song Allied Forces" were confronting Tiemu's troops in Guazhou City, but Meng Gong was not worried at all.
Ten days later, when the 10,000 Xixia troops were almost trained, Meng Gong asked another 10,000 Xixia troops to come out of Suzhou City to replace the 10,000 Xixia troops outside the city.
In this way, Meng Gong could completely "train" these 30,000 Xixia troops in one month.
I think that in two or three months, the combat power of these 30,000 Xixia troops will be improved to a higher level, and I am afraid that even their thoughts will be closer to the Song Dynasty.
After half a month of confrontation between the two sides, Brother Timu discovered the problem.
The other party is obviously training their troops, right?
Moreover, Xixia people continued to come to the other side's military camp to trade. In just half a month, it turned into a market.
Meng Gong was even more "abominable" and directly asked Yinzhou to transport a lot of tea, silk, porcelain and fine wine from the mainland of the Song Dynasty.
Those who are unwilling to accept money can also exchange them for these items at market prices.
As a result, more people came to deliver supplies to the military camp.
Guazhou, where the Mongols were stationed, had already become a military fortress. If they wanted to obtain supplies, they had to either ask Borshu to support them from the rear, or they had to send troops out to "search".
However, in the western Xinjiang of Xixia, the only places they can go to are Shazhou and Guazhou. Now some Mongolian troops have gone further west to Xiliao to "plunder".
It's okay to say it's May or June now, but it will be troublesome if the weather gets cold after October.
Therefore, Brother Temu felt that he must deal with the "Dunwu Army" in front of him within a few months. No matter how bad it was, he would have to invade two more states, otherwise he would be waiting to die in winter.
Moreover, there have been constant rumors in the army recently, saying that his brother Tiemu was so intimidated by the Song people that he even lost two states without even daring to fight.
Various factors made Brother Tiemu feel that he must fight and win in order to turn the situation around.
After much thought, Brother Tiemu wrote a letter of war to Meng Gong and sent a bold, careful and eloquent man to Meng Gong's camp to write the letter.
Meng Gong received the Mongolian messenger in front of the Xixia generals.
The gist of the gauntlet is clear.
King Yan of the Jiumu Song Dynasty has many elite soldiers and generals under his command. I am lucky enough to hunt here today. I hope that in three days' time, both sides will send out three thousand cavalry to fight directly between Guazhou and Suzhou.
With the same military strength, which one is more brave, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, or the Mongolian cavalry?
If the Song Dynasty does not dare to accept the attack, please return to the Song Dynasty. Such an army is not worthy of being an opponent of the Mongolian cavalry, and so on.
It was a clumsy way to "provoke generals", but Meng Gong agreed to him without saying anything.
"I will not write any more replies. You go back and tell Brother Timu that in three days, three thousand soldiers of the Song Dynasty will be waiting in formation!"
After the Mongolian messenger returned, Meng Gong sent his soldiers to Xiliang Prefecture and asked "Princess Yincheng" to come with the Yan King's escort army, and brought all senior officials of Xixia from Suzhou, Ganzhou and Xiliang Prefecture.
Bring all the officers and generals here.
Meng Gong planned to send the Yan King's escort troops to the battle to promote His Highness the Yan King.
Of course, the three thousand powerful troops selected from the "Dunwu Army" would not be much worse than the Mongolian cavalry, but the Yanwang Guards were the best selected from the four powerful troops.
Every ordinary sergeant has the combat power of a captain of ten or even a centurion. The visual effect of having them take action will be even more shocking!
What's more, among all the armies of the Song Dynasty, the equipment of King Yan's guard army was the most complete and advanced. Each person had a saber, a hand shield, a hand crossbow, a thin armor lining, and a large leaf armor outside.
horse.
The cost of raising one King Yan's Guards is enough to raise five "Dunwu Army", so increasing the number of King Yan's Guards to 10,000 people in recent years has been considered as the limit.
Three days later, there was a large open space between Guazhou and Suzhou.
To the west is the Mongolian cavalry. Brother Temmu has brought nearly 30,000 Mongolian troops, and they can't even defend the city.
Soldiers never tire of deceit, who knows whether the other side will swarm you?
On the side of the "Xia Song Allied Forces", Meng Gong is standing on horseback in the middle. On his head is the "Princess Yincheng" who is dressed in bright red and wearing a red gauze. On his head is Zhao Chengyu, the commander of King Yan's guard army.
Behind him were a hundred senior civil and military officials from the three states of Xixia, as well as generals in the army, 60,000 "Xia-Song Allied Forces" and 3,000 King Yan's escort troops, who were waiting in strict formation.
"Meng Dutong, are you equipped?——"
Under the handsome flag opposite, Brother Tiemu, who was in his fifties and still strong as ever, shouted loudly.
"Haha, brother Tiemu, today I will show you the bravery of my great Song Dynasty man!"
"Brothers, you are the strongest men in the Song Dynasty. You are the most trusted brothers of King Yan. Use your bravery and the swords in your hands to tell these Mongols who is the strongest army in the world. The Song Dynasty will be victorious -
—”
"Wansheng of the Great Song Dynasty——"
"The King of Yan is victorious——"
Zhao Chengyu pulled down the mask on his face. The number of centurions and above in the escort was even more exaggerated. The horses were also wearing leather armor. The general wished he was armed to the teeth.
"Change horses and move forward slowly——"
When the opposing Mongols arrived in front of the formation, they jumped off their horses to build up their power.
The guards of King Yan were even more exaggerated. They came on horseback, with part of their equipment placed on a horse on the left, and there was an empty horse specially designed for combat on the right.
The two sides stopped talking. The Mongols blew the horn horns, while Meng Gong personally led ten strong men and beat the war drums.
"Dududu——"
"Dong dong dong——"
"kill--"
"kill--"
Each side sent out three thousand cavalry and marched towards each other. When they approached a hundred steps, both sides opened their bows and fired arrows almost at the same time.
At fifty steps, the three thousand King Yan's guards all drew out the three three-foot-long spears behind them.
When the two sides were fighting together, it was visually estimated that nearly a thousand Mongolian cavalrymen had fallen from their horses, while less than 200 people from King Yan's guard had fallen from their horses.
"What? How could this happen?"
Brother Timmu, who was watching the battle from behind, took a breath. He sent these 3,000 people, including all his personal guards, and more than 2,000 brave men selected from the 30,000 troops.
Unexpectedly, before the two sides came into contact, they lost more than a thousand troops on their side.
"Temmu Khan, their armor defense is much better than ours, and the lethality of these spears is too great. Even for bows and arrows, the most we can use are iron arrows, and they may have real iron arrows."
I saw that some Mongolian soldiers were shot directly through their bodies by the opponent's arrows. In addition to having powerful bows, they also needed full iron arrows.
The two sides fought together, but it was even more brutal.
King Yan's guards were in groups of six, trying to maintain a tight formation and fight forward. Even if their own formation was incomplete, they could quickly form another formation with their comrades next to them.
The other side's Mongolian army, although equally brave, was selected from different teams of thousands, and there was almost no coordination between them.
Then there are the guards of King Yan, each armed with a slaying sword, which is a great killing weapon in the cold weapon era.
As soon as the saber fell down, the Mongolian scimitars had no way of resisting it. This is why Guo Mo had to equip himself with the saber even if he was trying to sell iron.
The smarter guards took advantage of the gap between them and raised their left and right hand crossbows from time to time.
Being so close, the Mongols were simply unstoppable and unavoidable.
After just a quarter of an hour of fighting, when the two sides separated their camps again, they found that of the 3,000 Mongolian cavalry, there were only less than 500 people left on the horses.
There are at least two thousand people in King Yan's guard army, and they are flying with swords and horses.
"Wansheng of the Great Song Dynasty——"
Zhao Chengyu, the commander of King Yan's guard, raised his arms and shouted!
"Wansheng of the Great Song Dynasty——"
The 30,000 "Dunwu Army" watching the battle from behind shouted in unison!
"Wansheng of the Great Song Dynasty——"
This shout was not uniform, but it was shouted spontaneously from the 30,000 Xixia troops.
Seeing such a tragic battle situation, Meng Gong's blood boiled with excitement, tears of excitement and distress rolled in his eyes, and he shouted loudly at the opposite side.
