Chapter 2078 The Yue family army came from the south, and the Xue Xue army came from the east
Only three days later, a white flag was raised in the city, and the Xia army guarding Weizhou surrendered. Because the desperate defenders in the city also realized that even if they risked their lives here, it would be of no use.
After all, the deterrent effect of the Qi army on the Xia defenders was too shocking. When they fought against the Song army, the Xia army could take advantage of the cavalry to move around, advance when it was favorable, and retreat when it was unfavorable, constantly attacking the enemy.
When the time is right to harass and attack, they quickly gather a large number of troops, deceive the Song army's lack of horses and wear down the opponent to exhaustion, and then use their superior strength to launch a fatal blow.
Therefore, the Song Dynasty could only follow the famous minister Zhang Kai's strategy of building military fortresses on the border and gradually encroaching on the territory of Xixia. As a result, the Song army gradually gained the upper hand in the subsequent war with the Xia army. But now the Qi Dynasty is also greatly affected.
There is no need to adopt the Song Dynasty's strategy of maintaining stability and slowing down the Xia Kingdom. Use Li Shifu and Ren Dejing, the two rebel forces, to completely disrupt the opponent's defense deployment system. Cavalry troops whose military strength is far superior to that of the Xia Kingdom continue to flow from Xiaoguan.
Entering the territory, it would be difficult for the Xia State to resist the powerful enemy according to its previous tactics against the Song Army.
In addition to the direction of Xiaoguan and Weizhou, a large number of Qi army troops along the Hengshan area south of Yinzhou, Shizhou and Xiazhou have also captured Zhaidu Ridge. The soldiers of all the camps are vigorous and high-spirited, and their morale seems to be very full and strong.
On the hunting flags of various armies, in addition to the large Qi-character flags erected high, there are also battle flags embroidered with the names of the various armies of the Yue Family Army fluttering in the wind, advancing to the north with high spirits, and constantly encroaching on the southeast of Xia Kingdom
frontier territory.
However, even if the Xia Kingdom tried to remedy the situation, it immediately mobilized troops and horses to Xiaoguan and Hengshan to try to wipe out Ren Dejing and other rebel forces as soon as possible and establish a second line of defense. Since the territory of the Qi Dynasty had also annexed most of the Jin Dynasty
Territory, from the direction of Yunnei Prefecture (later Baotou, Inner Mongolia) under the rule, a large number of elite cavalry troops unstoppably invaded the northeastern territory of Xia Kingdom from the vast grassland...
Since the vast territory in the northeast of the Xia Kingdom was mostly vast deserts, the Qi Dynasty's invading army marched straight forward for more than 400 miles without encountering any organized Xia army to stop it. Until it was no more than 200 miles away from the junction of Ningxia and Inner Mongolia.
When they were about 3 miles away, the Xia Dynasty's Right Wing Chaosun Supervisory Army Division, who was guarding here, also hurriedly mobilized their troops and horses to meet the enemy...
There is an endless desert all around, and there is only a small patch of low mountain forest nearby. The Xia Dynasty's Chaosun Army Division, with more than 15,000 horsemen, rode for another section, and then they were shocked to see black lines on the distant horizon appearing within their field of vision.
, a complex and huge team was spreading out across the plains, which made the commander of Xia Jun Chaoshun Military Division look more and more solemn.
The scouts and Qingqi from both sides had previously conducted several rounds of confrontations, and each other had roughly determined the enemy's movements. However, Xia Chaoshun's Army Division not only hurt everyone's eyes, but the wounded and defeated soldiers who fled back also conveyed a message: from the northeast
Most of the enemy troops of the Qi Dynasty that invaded Xia's territory were not mainly composed of Han family members.
As more and more cavalry teams continue to appear from the horizon, coming like a tide, each cavalry team is mainly composed of elite light cavalry. The queues are majestic and majestic, and the raised swords and guns are shining with cold light.
, a moment of overwhelming murderous intent, which also demonstrated the opponent's unusually superb riding skills and toughness in combat.
Although most of the Qi cavalrymen along this route were wearing strong armor, due to the original clothing habit of resisting the severe cold in the northern part of the Great Wall, many cavalrymen were still dressed in fur and felt beast coats, and the generals of each cavalry team could see the distance.
On the opposite side, the Xia enemy troops were getting closer and closer, and they also shouted loudly. However, the language they spoke was not Chinese, Khitan, or Jurchen, but clearly the language used by the Mongol and Wei tribes on the desert grassland.
Words, and what is conspicuous is that all cavalry soldiers are equipped with two cavalry bows on their waists and backs...
Formed under the order of Xiao Tang, the Anbei Protectorate Protectorate Ma Kuo personally selected soldiers and gathered all the Mongol and Wu clans and Wei Zhong who were willing to surrender according to the Qi Dynasty's guard alliance system.
When the Qi Dynasty was working hard to expand its territory.
The Qiexue Army, which was almost entirely formed by the Mongol and Wei tribesmen, was also equipped with two composite riding bows according to the trajectory in official history, one for close attack and one for long range.
Volley fired, the light and strong armor on their bodies was also the most sophisticated armor made by various workshops under the Qi Dynasty's military supervision, and the horses they rode were the most durable and strong steppe Mongolian horses. Various types of horses were used to fight long and short soldiers.
They are all equipped with swords. They no longer have to struggle for survival in the bitter cold desert with a dangerous living environment like before. They have enough food and clothing. Therefore, all the soldiers have a red complexion and are equipped with exquisite armor and weapons. I am afraid that Mengwu Shiwei Grassland
Any tribe in the world can't help but feel fear after encountering it.
All the elite Mongol and Wei Gongma tribesmen who were selected into the Qixue Army also enjoyed generous benefits. They could move with their families to the grasslands with rich water and grass in Yanyun Land, and they could also be given fertile farmland according to their own wishes.
Thanks to the teachings of Han farmers, the handicrafts and daily necessities that were scarce on the grasslands were plentiful, and every time you went on an expedition and made military exploits or died in battle, you could also receive generous rewards and compensation.
The Mongwu and Wei people who were selected into Qixue's army also strived to make their descendants rich and happy, and they also worked hard to make repeated military exploits. Although their generation still retains the wild nature of the grassland people,
Since their descendants who migrated inland can enjoy the blessings and live happily under the rule of the Qi Dynasty, the aggressive and predatory nature in their bones will slowly fade away...
At the rear of the cavalry formation of Qiuxue Army, the troops and horses led by Qi Dynasty generals such as Ma Kuo, Yang Zaixing, Lu Junyi, Hu Yantong and other Qi Dynasty generals marched west step by step. General Qiuxue Army was surrounded by dozens of military cavalry.
After he galloped down and rushed straight in front of Ma Kuo, the timid general of Xue Army bowed on his horse and saluted, and said respectfully: "Ma Duhu, the main force of Xia Army is not far ahead. Since it has been agreed before,
, I would like to ask you all nobles to lead your troops to hold down the formation, and I will lead the troops of Qixue to fight first."
This general who is now in charge of Qie Xue's army was originally the first warrior in the Uha Liang tribe of the Wei Zhong tribe of the Mengwu clan, who had the most positive and sincere attitude towards submitting to the Qi Dynasty. His name was Pu La Ba Si (
(meaning yellow tiger in Mongolian), in the army, according to the title given to the magic archer by the Mongol and Wei tribes, they are often called Zhebie. Although Pula Balsi was born majestic and mighty, with a stocky and strong body, as a
He was the first tribal warrior to accept the alliance system of the Qi Dynasty. He was also very quick to understand. Although the pronunciation of Chinese is still a bit stiff now, his intonation is smooth and stable.
Other upright and fierce Han generals can get along with each other.
After hearing Pula Balsi's respectful words, Ma Kuo nodded, and then said: "I have Lao Zhebie, and the timid soldiers of Xue's army are very brave, and they are good at fighting on horseback on the grassland, and Zhebie leads all the troops.
I think we will succeed immediately, so General Lu, General Yang, and General Hu Yan and I will lead our troops to respond and wait for the opportunity to work with Zhebie to defeat the enemy and live up to His Majesty's important mission."
