The Memi clan was once a large clan in Xixia, and the women in the clan were the concubines of the Li family, and were the backbone of the selection of Li Jiqian as the king of Xixia.
Ever since Li Yuanhao killed his descendants, the Meimi clan has had no help in the Xixia court. They can only be summoned by the constantly changing Xixia officials in each battle.
He was summoned to fight again, but Maddieha really didn't want his sons to die.
The last time we attacked Qinzhou, 870 warriors went out, but only 100 escaped.
This time they are going to attack Qinzhou again! The Song people have thunder and thunder, but they can't defeat it.
Besides, Mia Rosedieha thinks it's pretty good now. She can herd sheep, shear sheep, and then sell them to the Song people in exchange for things that were never seen in the early years. Life is peaceful and stable, so why do we have to fight?
"Dieha, Wu Zang Huama was besieged by the Song people in Xin County. Your Majesty called us to attack Qinzhou. He said that he was forcing the Song people to release Wu Zang Huama back. Wu Zang was a warrior from the Left Wing Shenyong Army Division. They
They are all besieged by the Song people, can we go?"
In the past, Xixia warriors would not be afraid, especially towards the Song people. Since the Song people had thunder, Xixia warriors no longer dare to face the enemy Song people head-on.
"Don't talk nonsense! Your Majesty has summoned us to go to war. I will lead my sons to fight. Talking too much will bring disaster."
The Heyan clan is also in the same boat as him, and Dieha doesn't mind reminding them that they all have no support in Xingqing Mansion, and they are all cannon fodder and have to support each other.
"Dieha, the market is closed, the wool at home is almost smelly, and the tribe is still waiting for food!"
In fact, just to complain, he still had to gather his clan members and rush to Xingqing Mansion.
Sigh... Two ethnic groups, almost two thousand warriors, four to five thousand horses, I don't know how many will come back in the end?
"Clan leader... Patriarch, the wool collectors from Song are here. I heard that Huanqing's market has opened!"
Before he left the pasture far, Dieha heard a tribesman running towards him on horseback, shouting as he ran.
"Dieha, are we still going to Xingqing Mansion?"
"Go ahead and tell the people to sell their wool and exchange it for food. If the king doesn't revoke the order, we have to go to Xingqing Mansion!"
It seems that there is no need to fight...
"Officials, the battles between the scouts in Hebei Province are becoming more and more frequent, but it is quieter in the west. Will the Xixia people not send troops?"
The report from Xin County came, and the chaos in the city showed that the early plan worked.
Fu Bi very much hoped that there would be no war in the west, and even hoped that because of the early planning, the Xixia people could fight back... He thought too much and always looked for the best.
"Xixia will definitely have to send troops, but how to fight this battle is another matter."
Xixia is in a dilemma, and it is difficult to live in the cracks.
This time it was the result of a failed attempt to steal the chicken. Regardless of whether they wanted to go to war with the imperial court or not, the Xixia people had to send troops. He was worried that the Northern Liao would blame Yunzhou's defeat on them.
Xixia indeed sent out troops, with nearly a hundred thousand troops heading south from Xingqing Mansion and rushing straight towards Sha Niuling.
Although there was a fierce quarrel in Xingqing Mansion, even in front of envoys from Bei Liao, they still sent out troops.
There was no other way. After some prisoners from the Shenyong Army Division in the left wing were released, the Xixia people had to send troops to self-defense.
When they sent out troops, the Xixia people did not even clean up the Song people wandering around Xixia... ~ They were all merchants, bringing food, cloth, and fine wine. Even if Xingqing Prefecture asked them to clear out, the tribes, especially those who had contact with the Song people,
The frequent tribesmen didn’t take it seriously at all.
The Xixia people marched out with great momentum and set up camp at the foot of Sha Niuling, seemingly always ready to attack...
"Commander, it's been three days, and this Western thief keeps wandering out of range..."
Even Kumamoto was surprised to be asked this question by his subordinates. Is it true that the West cannot be fought as the political ministers said?
He did not dare to relax. There were hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the border. If the Xixia people were not here to fight, they were just here to waste food and grass, unless the Xixia people were sick.
"Be careful, don't let the Western thieves take advantage of you! The great victory at Yanmen Pass killed hundreds of thousands of Liao-Xia coalition forces. We must not make any mistakes on the Qinzhou Road!"
Looking at the densely packed tiger squatting cannons, eight-oxen crossbows, and portable bed crossbows on the side wall, Kumamoto felt that it was impossible for the Western Xia people to get close to the side wall no matter what.
Not to mention the reinforcements coming from the Chengdu Prefecture, even those people could not have been defeated by the Xixia people.
"Commander, a few days ago Gongfangcheng Hei sent a big general cannon. I heard it has a long range. How about we give it a try?"
Give it a try? Just give it a try. No matter how the court plans, as a frontier soldier, you must not have the slightest intention of compromise. Once you have the idea of coddling with the Western thieves, you will most likely be taken advantage of by the enemy.
The general's cannon is so big and heavy that it took dozens of soldiers to lift it up the side wall...
"boom……"
Not caring about the swaying soldiers, Kumamoto was too close to the general's cannon. With his mind buzzing, he stumbled towards the wall... Good guys, those Xixia cavalry were not affected at all by the tiger squatting cannon.
, at this time, the panicked horses led them into chaos.
"Tiger crouching gunner is in position! Kill the Western thieves who come into range!"
Kumamoto couldn't hear the human voice clearly and roared with all his strength...
If we go out of the border wall at this time, Kumamoto is sure that he will definitely be able to keep the stubborn cavalry behind... Unfortunately, the imperial edict is to let them stick to their guns and not go to war unless it is absolutely necessary!
Not enough!
The Xixia people then withdrew, and the entire camp retreated. It seemed that the political ministers were right, the Xixia people were really here to show off.
…
"Guan Jia, the Xixia camp has retreated five miles again. There should be no fighting in the west. On the other hand, on the Hebei side, the Han troops who are dying have never stopped..."
Fu Bi had never thought before that the imperial court could be so relaxed when faced with Liao and Xia harassing the border at the same time! He never even dared to think about it in his dreams, but now it has become a reality.
Fu Bi was full of confidence in regaining the sixteen states of Yanyun in his lifetime.
"Let Hebei Dao go out of the city to fight a field battle! Any city will do, a fight must be fought!"
Zhao Xi knew that Mr. Lu was conservative, which was why Zhao Xi sent Mr. Lu to Hebei Province.
As long as Hebei Province can hold on to its defense line and not affect the Yunzhou front, it will be the greatest victory.
"His Majesty……"
"Everyone, the battlefield is the best place for soldiers to gain courage. Hebei Province needs a head-on war with the Liao people!"
In fact, when fighting outside the city with chariots, there is no difference in defense compared to defending the city, but it has the added convenience of attack and great mobility.
Besides, this war has been going on for more than half a year, and even if the court has money, it cannot afford to spend such money.
Let's have a fight in Hebei Province and let Beiliao truly experience the sharpness of firearms.
The main reason is that Yeluqi of Xin County has led his troops to surrender unconditionally. Hedong Road has now captured Yun and Shuo, and the situation in the three prefectures has been decided.
There is no need to drag on the war any longer, and it cannot be dragged on any longer. If you want the Liao people to realize this clearly, you must let the Liao people accept this reality: the Song Dynasty is no longer a Song Dynasty that can be bullied by others!
