Chapter 750 Xixia sent another envoy (thanks to the leader Cai Shuning today
The party members really understand what the power of firearms is, and they also really understand how much advantage firearms have over the original armaments in large-scale battles.
Whether it was Wang Shao's partial division that took over the Hexi Corridor, or whether Wang Shao and Li Xian joined forces and annihilated the Heishan Weifu Army Division, Xingqing Mansion also knew about it, but after all, they had not seen the battlefield.
As for Di Qing, Zhong'e and Guo Kui, before the large encirclement was formed, they had been suppressing and did not exert any force.
As for Gao Zunyu's troops, they were themselves decoys and were deep in the enemy's territory, so they simply did not dare to use their full combat power.
As a result, after the large encirclement was formed, there were various taboos...
It wasn't until the imperial edict arrived that each of them really let go of the fight.
Since the envoys were repatriated by the Song Dynasty, the wild nature of Xingqing Mansion was aroused, and its bravery was vividly displayed. Unfortunately, under the absolute advantage, the situation of the war could not be reversed by individual bravery.
This time, the bravery of the party members was not only destroyed by sharp firearms, but completely destroyed.
First, a large-scale cavalry charge was organized. As a result, the Song army used a full-coverage gunpowder bomb strike, causing the party members to collapse before the charge could take shape.
To put it bluntly, money and food were obtained for fighting. The front line of the Song army's advancement was densely packed with trebuchets and bed crossbows, which were ejecting gunpowder bombs. Closer, there were tiger crouching cannons and divine arm crossbows, which also shot gunpowder bombs.
The party members tried all kinds of military services, from infantry and light cavalry to the proud Iron Kites, but the results were the same.
Use the cavalry as the front army, ride on good horses, heavy armor, and cannot be penetrated by thorns; use hooks and ropes to tie the horse together, so that the horse will not fall even if it is dead. In the event of a battle, the cavalry will be the first to break out of the formation, and if the formation is chaotic, they will attack; the infantry will advance with the cavalry.
·······This is Xingqing Mansion’s Iron Kite combat method, which was created by Daxia Jingzong. It can be said to be the last resort of Xingqing Mansion.
Since the Iron Kites formed an army, they can be said to be invincible. Whether fighting Tibet, the Uighurs, or the Northern Liao Dynasty, the Iron Kites can basically penetrate any line of defense once they come out.
However, when fighting against the new Song Army, Iron Kites could not even form a decent charge, let alone charge into the front of the Song Army's formation.
Thousands of pairs of iron kites were almost the largest formation of Xingqing Mansion in large-scale battles. As a result, they were covered by gunpowder bombs before they had time to charge. Although Xingqing Mansion made adjustments to gunpowder bombs for war horses.
Sexual training, but still unable to withstand the intensive artillery bombardment.
The fighting method of iron kites connected with iron ropes, and the occasional casualties, slowed down the charging speed of the war horses. The iron kites connected into a piece directly became the target of the Song army's artillery fire.
There is no need to fight this battle!
Xingqing Mansion had to send envoys to Bianliang again...
"A truce?"
The frontline command also needs to discuss the matter of dispatching envoys to Xixia. However, now it is easier for the frontline command to gather together to discuss. The various armies have been fully connected, and the connection is completely seamless.
"I wonder what the party members' casualties were in this wave of attacks?"
At this time, Wen Zuoshuai of each group was also gathering together to summarize the number of enemies killed by each group in this wave of attacks.
"In this wave of attacks, all armies wiped out a total of more than 67,680 enemies..."
Zhang Dun acted as Wen Zuoshuai on this occasion. When he saw this number, he couldn't believe it. How many days had it been fighting? Three days or five days? The number of enemies directly annihilated was almost the same as in the previous period.
There are too many wars in total.
At this time, he really understood what Zhong Jianzhong analyzed... the officials and the court did not really want to kill the party members.
The army that is besieging Xixia now can advance all the way and directly capture Xingqing Mansion. The reason why the imperial court turned in such a big circle, plotted such a big plan, and spent so much money and food was to truly eliminate the party.
Don't let it escape north.
At the same time, it also created such a siege and forced Xingqing Mansion to surrender...
"When one of the warring parties proposes a peace negotiation, according to the usual practice, the war will generally cease. Unless, like last time, the Xingqing government's request for peace was unreasonably rejected by the court..."
"Even if we fight again, we still need an imperial edict, otherwise we and other frontline troops cannot provoke war without authorization during the peace talks..."
"A truce is possible, but I believe that the so-called truce should not be unilateral. Moreover, I believe that during the truce, all lines of defense must not be relaxed to prevent Xingqing Mansion from taking the opportunity to break out of the encirclement or launch an attack!"
The renegade of the Dangxiang people is unknown to the generals and soldiers who have experienced the Western Army. The first time the peace was negotiated, the Dangxiang people thought that the Song Dynasty was just like that; this time the peace negotiation was really painful.
To say that the Dangxiang people really surrendered to the Song Dynasty... I don't think it is that simple. Therefore, vigilance is necessary.
The frontline headquarters decided that the various armies must maintain the same status as during the fierce battle during the truce. At the same time, each civil and military commander's account was set up to connect with the two armies, and the connection was between one civil and one military, or between the chief and deputy commanders.
.
The Xixia envoy came again... This time the whole Bianliang was paying attention. As the order of the red feather delivery of the victory of the army in front was introduced to the court, everyone in Bianliang knew that during the Xingqing Mansion
Days are running out.
The whole of Bianliang was speculating on the sincerity of Xixia's envoys... There were no rumors of leaking secrets for the first time.
Zheng Xia was probably the first official who was punished by the court, but was sympathized with by the entire Bianliang and even the court officials. After all, Zheng Xia's leak gave the entire Bianliang an opportunity to discuss important court affairs after many years.
"No conditions? Just surrender? Why does it feel unreal to me?"
Han Qi once took charge of the northwest, so how could he not know the habits of the Dangxiang people? He never believed that Xingqing Mansion would truly surrender unconditionally.
"It's not impossible, after all, under the fierce attack of the army, the recovery of Xingqing Mansion is just around the corner..."
Wang Gui was already thinking about what kind of poem to write to show the contribution of this cabinet. The unconditional surrender of the Xixia people also needs to be reflected in the poem, which is evidence of the resurgence of the Song Dynasty.
"I think you all know the habits of Dangxiang people... That's not right! The officials and the court need an urgent edict to order the front line not to relax. The veteran thinks that Xingqing Mansion is going to break through..."
In the entire cabinet, it seems that Han Qi and Wen Yanbo are the only ones who have ever led troops. Han Qi has such an awareness, and he deserves to be known as someone who knows military affairs.
"Mr. Han Ge, please be safe. The strategic report from the front has just arrived... The soldiers in the front can still be trusted."
Fu Bi had also just read the report delivered to Qinzheng Hall from Tongjin Courtyard.
End-to-end connection, no gaps in siege, civil and military cooperation, sincere cooperation... The government's strategy of decentralizing troops and decentralizing power was once again reflected. The ministers and workers who did not lead the entire war cooperated more closely than if they had a commander-in-chief.
