Wu Zangpang looked at the map on the table and asked Wei Ming Shouquan.
"The former leader has been out for sixteen days." Wei Mingshouquan replied.
"According to the itinerary, he should have arrived at Yanguan Town now! The Kazan tribe will go out tomorrow. We have not reduced the intensity of our attacks these days, but the effect is very poor. Some tribes even think that we have no hope of winning.
, Prime Minister, why do we send our soldiers to Dingyuan Village to die in vain? Instead of launching a more determined attack? Such a painless attack will not have any effect at all. "
Zhang Jiang finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked. The Xixia army's combat effectiveness was definitely more than this. Even if there were some changes in the Song army and a very lethal weapon was obtained, Zhang Jiang believed that it was not invincible.
Wu Zangying Pang smiled and said: "We have already won. Now that we have captured Dingyuan Stronghold, Laiyuan Stronghold and Qin Wangchuan are of no use. The people in Daxia who should have starved to death have already starved to death, and the people who should not have starved to death are now
We are not going to die of hunger. We have already conquered the Uighurs. Wu Zangchihua had killed the Uighur king Yasu a month ago and drove 30,000 Uighur surrender troops into the Changpu Sea. Now all the prosperous Yizhou, Nazhi, and Jiaohe surrendered.
No less than 300,000 cattle, sheep, and camels were seized. All the autumn grain in Yizhou this year was also seized by our army. Therefore, we can barely survive this year's cold winter. Now, as long as we can seize enough military grain to return to Daxia
, the final victory will belong to us."
Zhang Jiang and Wei Mingshou looked at each other in shock. Zhang Jiang was stunned for a long time before saying: "Prime Minister, we led an army of 140,000 people across mountains and rivers to pursue Dong Xiang in Qingtang, and then fought a life-and-death battle with the Song army. Could it be that we just wanted to go around in a circle?
go back?"
Wu Zangying Pang sighed and said: "I told you a long time ago that there is nothing we can do about it. There has been a drought in the Great Summer for a year, and the rain did not come until the end of summer. There is a shortage of food in the country, so I can only bring what I can bring."
All the people who were short of food left Daxia to look for food. Others don't know it, but don't you know it? Most of the elite troops of the Weifu Military Division in Heishan followed Buzang Chihua to Shazhou to fight with the Huihe people.
We can only go south with the newly recruited troops and a small number of elites. For the sake of the stability of Daxia, all the tribes from both ends of the country are in the army. The purpose of this is to buy enough time to hide the red flowers.
Since we entered Qingtang, the six Tubo tribes had to defend us with all their strength and were unable to support King Yasu of Uighurs in marching into Shazhou. The single and isolated King of Uighurs was certainly no match for the Weifu Army Division and the Xiping Army Division of Heishan. Therefore, our initial
The target is not Qingtang, not the Song Dynasty. Don't I know how the people in Qingtang will react? Is it possible that I am so stupid that I don't know what the consequences will be if I go deep alone?
Hehe, Dong Xiang of Qingtang escaped from the war, but he created an opportunity for us to attack Qinzhou and enter Fengxiang Mansion to divide the northwest of the Song Dynasty. We must give this opportunity a try. How can I do it without giving it a try?
.
Well now, we have tried it. The attitude of the Song people is very resolute. Fu Bi wants to die. Yun Zheng, the most bellicose, is also attracted to Qinzhou. In this case, Qinzhou is not worth conquering. In that case, the population will be reduced.
The loss is something I, Daxia, cannot afford. Song has a population of tens of millions, and we only have a population of less than three million, so we cannot afford the loss!"
There was no sound from the building cart for a while. Zhang Jiang turned his head with difficulty and looked at the Kazan tribe launching an attack on Dingyuan Village and Laiyuan Village. The familiar rumbling sound came over again. Without using his hands to build a pergola, Zhang Jiang
I saw countless Xixia people being blown away with their flesh and blood flying everywhere. Those shields were unable to withstand the tearing of gunpowder bullets.
"The Kazan Tribe has been on both ends of the spectrum since Yeli Yuqi was still alive. It is one of the seven tribes that must be eliminated. The method used by the late Emperor Yuan Hao to personally lead troops to kill the Xixia people was not advisable. Everyone was living in terror.
The result was that everyone hated the royal family.
When Daxia is weak, it needs unity. At this time, one mouth can only make one voice. If all the warriors of the Kazan tribe die, the Kazan tribe will be finished. Their women and children will slowly integrate into other people loyal to the royal family.
Among the tribes..."
Zhang Jiang's face was trembling rapidly. Now he just wanted to call his tribe member Zhang Wenxian back from the rebel army as soon as possible. This kid said today that he discovered the weakness of the Song army and planned to try to see if he could break the wall. Zhang
Jiang's eyes were turning black. He was not afraid of fighting, but he was worried that he would die inexplicably. The Zhang family was different from other Han people. They were accomplices as early as when Li Jiqian rebelled against the Song Dynasty. Therefore, no matter how the Xixia people purged them, they could not be purged.
Zhang family, after these years of blood fusion, they have long become one and they are indistinguishable from each other, so it is their bounden duty to fight to the death for Xixia.
At this time, Zhang Jiang was in a state of confusion, because this was not a great battle, but a cruel murder.
Zhang Wenxian held his machete high and stepped on the ladder as he struggled to attack Laiyuan Village. He had discovered the secret of the new gunpowder bomb, that is, there was a short period of calm between when it was thrown out and when it started to explode. If you were close to the wall of the village, shorten the gunpowder bomb.
While he stayed in the air, he had the opportunity to use his shield to knock off the gunpowder bombs, causing them to explode in the distance. Moreover, he also discovered that the terrain of Laiyuan Village was dangerous, but the combat effectiveness of the Song Army on the Junzhai was weaker than that of Dingyuan Village.
That Song general named Shi Danai might be his chance to break through the village wall.
Seeing Zhang Wenxian pounced on him like a mad tiger, Shi Danai roared angrily, ignited three gunpowder bombs and threw them down. Zhang Wenxian waved his shield and used skill to send the three gunpowder bombs to the wall with a loud bang.
, Zhang Wenxian watched as Shi Danai's tattered body fell from the top of the city and fell headlong into the blood pit, motionless.
I heard the Song army at the top of the city shouting in panic, "The general is dead!"
Zhang Wenxian was overjoyed. He put his hand on the top of the wall and pulled hard, and his body landed on the top of the city like a wild goose. The long sword swept across the two Song soldiers who rushed over in a hurry and were chopped into two pieces by the sharp long sword.
He passed through the bloody rain in the sky and stuck closely to the panicked retreating Song army, not giving them a chance to distance themselves. At the same time, the Kazan warriors he carefully selected also climbed up from the gap and learned from
With Zhang Wenxian's appearance, he chased the Song army and slashed wildly.
"Don't distance yourself from the Song Army, stick up, stick up!" Zhang Wenxian roared and continued the bloody battle. Under his crazy tiger-like attack, the Song Army finally showed a trace of chaos. When Zhang Wenxian passed a wooden house, he saw a room full of people.
Gunpowder bombs, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and swung my knife to shoot the blazing torch on the wall into the wooden house.
The Song army who was fighting was so frightened that they threw away their weapons and fled in panic. Zhang Wenxian jumped into the walled city, fell into a shallow pit, and buckled the shield on himself.
There was a thunderbolt, and the whole earth trembled. Zhang Wenxian felt that his heart was about to be shattered, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Before he could find a better hiding place, rocks, soil, and broken wood fell from the sky and hit him.
On the shield, the shield was too small to cover his whole body. He felt that his legs seemed to have been hit by a heavy object, and then his eyesight turned black. He opened his mouth full of blood foam and howled like a wolf before losing it.
perception……
A hole more than ten feet wide was torn open in the wall of the village. The flying rocks and mud smashed the heads of the Song troops who rushed forward, causing bloodshed. Many Song troops who were closer to the explosion point fell to the ground with bleeding from their orifices.
The numerous Song troops were like headless flies scurrying around. Although they were howling loudly, their ears could not hear anything...
The soldiers of the Kazan tribe poured in from the gap like a tide, hacking the Song soldiers who were holding their heads and screaming to death like chopping wood, and advanced rapidly into the interior of the walled city.
When the brave Wang Shao heard the loud noise, he led reinforcements and rushed quickly from Qinwangchuan main village to Laiyuan village. When he appeared at Laiyuan village, the city was already densely packed with Xixia people.
Although there were still many Song troops trying their best to resist, Wang Shao threw out all the gunpowder bombs hanging on his body without hesitation. After throwing them out, he almost stepped on the aftermath of the explosion and entered the battle group.
One after another, some desperate Song soldiers even jumped directly into the fire and ignited their own gunpowder bombs. However, when a crossbow arrow pierced Wang Shao's leg, he already knew that the situation was over, and the rapid sound of horse hooves announced
The arrival of Xixia cavalry.
The soldiers dragged Wang Shao, who was hit by an arrow, back desperately. Wang Shao struggled to stand up and wanted to continue moving forward, but was punched behind the ear by the soldiers and knocked unconscious. He picked him up and ran away...
The sound of horse hoofbeats was getting closer and closer. Wang Shao shook his head and woke up. He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw a group of Xixia cavalry wielding their swords and slashing at the Song army in the rear. In confusion, he saw the profiteer holding a weapon.
The spears danced and whirred, and the sharp spears kept piercing the Xixia people's throats or crotches...
He didn't like this profiteer, he had never liked him, and that's the case even now. The profiteer was like a monkey scurrying among the rebels, and his fat uniforms made his movements look so ridiculous, until the guy held up a torch.
After being thrown into a hut, Wang Shao tried hard to pat his soldiers, hoping that he could carry him and run faster. That bastard set the gunpowder workshop on fire...
Wang Shao could feel his body flying up. The strange thing was that his own soldier was still carrying him. He didn't see the soldier's feet because his feet were flying in front, and the hateful profiteer's face was right next to his.
Around him, he seemed to smell the stench coming from that mouth full of yellow teeth again...
Wang Shao fell to the ground. Because there were soldiers underneath him as a cushion, the fall was not heavy, but blood continued to spurt out of his mouth. He even felt that his ears were spurting blood, and his whole body seemed to be spurting blood...
There was silence between heaven and earth. Wang Shao tried his best to turn his head. He saw the face of the profiteer again, but the body was no longer there. The hateful face was still rolling around on the ground with a lewd smile... (To be continued
