The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 220 Pingxia
When Yue Fei led the Yue family army to attack Huanglong and completely wiped out the golden people, Han Shizhong, who was born in the northern Shaanxi frontier, was also launching a large-scale war to destroy the country.

If Yue Fei's lifelong enemy is the Kingdom of Jin, then Han Shizhong's deadly enemy is Xixia.

At that time, the party members betrayed the Song Dynasty and made themselves kings.Da Song, who was already underdeveloped, was stabbed severely.

For the next hundred years, the war between the two sides has not stopped.

Han Shizhong was born in the border area of ​​Yan'an Prefecture, facing the territory of the Xixia people.

He has been in the army for 20 years, most of the time he also fought against the Xixia people.

Moreover, the Western Army and Xixia have fought for a hundred years, and the loss is more than a million. The hatred has already broken through the sky.

So when Han Shizhong was authorized and appointed to be responsible for destroying Xixia, the excitement was really frightening.

"It's not that the Great Song Dynasty can't defeat Xixia." Before leaving, Li Yunze hosted a special banquet for Han Shizhong, "It's just that people who do things are not good. I'm talking about the officials and those old gentlemen. It has nothing to do with the Western Army, you know."

"Yes."

Han Shizhong was very honest in front of Li Yunze, he didn't look like a rogue at all.

After all, he is the emperor on horseback, and his authority in the army is completely different from that of an emperor whose name he has only heard of in the palace.

The land area of ​​Xixia is not small, but most of the places are either desert Gobi or mountains and hills. The places that are really suitable for living are Hetao and other places, which are known as the top of the south.

In terms of food production in this era, a population of more than 300 million is the limit.

When the number of soldiers and horses in the Song Dynasty was the largest, the number of sergeants alone was as high as nearly 200 million.

In terms of strength, Xixia is not qualified to compete with Song at all.

To use Han Shizhong's response, "If it was not Han Qi, Sima Guang and others who commanded the war, but Di Qing and the others, Xixia would have disappeared long ago."

The Song Dynasty's tradition of using literature to control martial arts is the root cause of the Song Dynasty's frequent weakness in wars.

This thing can be summed up in a simple sentence, laymen lead experts.

During the Hundred Years of Xixia War, the Great Song Dynasty buried millions of soldiers and horses, but they were still helpless against Xixia.

It would be impossible to say that millions of Song soldiers were trash. It can only be said that the big headscarves who make decisions are really bad.

"You have only one thing to do when you go to Xixia this time."

Li Yunze, who was carrying a jug in his hand, walked up to Han Shizhong and poured wine for him himself, "Erase Xixia from the map!"

Han Shizhong got up in a hurry, and carefully picked up the wine with his glass.

After gulping it down, he patted his chest boldly, "Don't worry, officials, although I dare not compare myself to Mr. Di, I will definitely destroy Xixia!"

"When you send troops from Guanzhong, do something." Li Yunze nodded and nodded, "Bring all the ruffians and rogues from all over Guanzhong to Xixia."

Han Shizhong immediately lost his face when he said this.

He himself was born as a rogue, and he was indeed a little embarrassed to be pointed out in public by the officials.

"Yes, I understand."

"When these people arrive in Xixia, they must be well arranged. Let them be distributed in various places to replace the original party members."

Li Yunze continued to instruct, "Students who have signed up from all over the world have also begun to gather in Chang'an City. Where they have been captured, they will be arranged to form yamen, and veterans from the army will serve as subordinate officials."

"Yes, I know."

"There is one more thing." Li Yunze's instructions were not over yet, "I heard that Li Yuanhao once did something that left his hair behind?"

"Yes."

Han Shizhong is naturally clear about this matter, "Everyone in Xixia must keep the flying bird hairstyle of the party members, and those who disobey will be killed."

"XXX!"

Li Yunze swears directly in front of many ministers, "When you arrive in Xixia, let me do the same."

Han Shizhong was overjoyed, and immediately responded, "Don't worry, the officials, from now on there will only be one head in Xixia. And the traitor Li Yuanhao, I must copy the grave!"

"Cough cough."

Li Yunze coughed twice and waved his hands, "What are you talking about, I didn't hear anything."

Han Shizhong dispatched troops with a large amount of military resources supported by Li Yunze.

The number of mighty soldiers and horses is not necessarily much larger than when they attacked Xixia in the past.But in terms of quality, it is unprecedentedly powerful.

The Song Army's armor wearing rate was already very high. With Li Yunze's support, the armor wearing rate has increased to more than [-]%, which is an extremely terrifying level.

Even the Great Han and Great Tang in the most tyrannical period have never achieved this level.

You must know that in the cold weapon era, armor is everything.

People can own swords, guns, halberds and even bows and arrows, and the government will not take care of them.

But once someone has armor, they will be embarrassed, and they will be punished directly as treason.

Nurhachi started his career with thirteen sets of armor, which shows the importance of armor.

Because the armor has a strong defensive power, the attacks of swords, guns, bows and arrows will not be effective, and it has a decisive advantage in equipment on the battlefield.

The Song Army, which is almost in full armor, was almost an adult bullying a child when confronting the Xixia people.

Xixia didn't have so much armor and equipment, and it was useless to hit the Song army clangingly. The Song army would kill them directly with a backhand knife.

As for Xixia's other advantage in resisting the Song army, the continuous city walls built with the help of the Hengshan Mountains are no longer an obstacle at this time.

In the past, if the Song army wanted to capture these fortresses, they could only use human lives to bury them bit by bit. Now, Han Shizhong brought a lot of C4.

The power of this thing is huge, as long as it is sent to the city and then detonated, no strong city can stop it.

Han Shizhong did not take the shortcut of Pingxia City, but chose the most traditional attack route, going directly to the Hengshan Mountains.

As long as you can cross here, it is the core area of ​​Xixia.

In the past, the Song army was always unable to fight. In addition to the complicated terrain, there were too many fortresses in the mountains and it was too difficult to fight. After losing tens of thousands of people, they could only retreat unwillingly.

It's different now, the explosives opened the city, and then soldiers poured into it like a tide. Under the head-on attack, the Xixia people suffered heavy losses.

Their standing army was stationed in the city wall, and after being surrounded and breached, they couldn't escape.

As for the several field battles, Han Shizhong also beat him to cry for his father and mother.

Can be as famous as Yue Fei, how can Han Shizhong be a generation who has earned his name in vain.

After Han Shizhong's troops severely damaged the Xixia field soldiers and horses, and truly broke through Hengshan, many nearby tribes turned and defected one after another.

Xixia originally belonged to the Tang Dynasty. After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, there was chaos everywhere, which gave the once inconspicuous party members a chance to stand out. In addition, the scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty were indeed incompetent. This is why Li Yuanhao rose.

When the Central Plains Dynasty sorted out the internal turmoil and finally went all out to face each other seriously, they couldn't make any waves.

Han Shizhong fought steadily, pushing and attacking the city all the way, and finally reached the front line of Xingqing Mansion in Lingzhou.

This is the real core of Xixia, and losing it is tantamount to subjugation of the country.

The Xixia people who were driven to a dead end mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized in the country, even women were pushed onto the battlefield.

Gathered a huge army of more than 30 people, and fought a decisive battle with the Song army under the city of Lingzhou.

Back then, they were here and defeated the Song Army who came from Pingxia City and almost wiped out Xixia. It is obvious that they still want to repeat the past this time.

It's just that the current Song Army is different from the Song Army at that time.

Taking advantage of his calmness, Han Shizhong commanded the Song Army, which was not as numerous as Xixia, and crushed the Xixia people little by little.

In particular, the target of the attack was placed on elites such as Iron Harrier, Bubazi, and Poxi Army.

When the core of these regular armies was defeated, the remaining Xixia miscellaneous soldiers were also defeated.

The 30 army seems to be strong and strong, but now it is not the Warring States Period, and its combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period where all the people are soldiers.

After defeating the last main force of the Xixia people, Han Shizhong's troops easily captured Lingzhou and Xingqing Mansion, but failed to capture the Xixia King and his sons.

It is said that he ran away to regroup.

What Han Shizhong regretted was not that he failed to capture the Xixia king, but that he failed to capture the princess of Xixia.

Because when he was drinking and chatting with Li Yunze, he had heard Li Yunze talk about Vulture Palace, Princess Xixia and so on.

Compared with the prudish Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, who was born as a rogue, is much more flexible.

The princess of Xixia who can make the officials miss her, if she is caught, she will be sent to her.
What a pity.

He thought about finding a party lady to pretend to be, but he gave up as soon as he thought about it.

Officials are not people who can be fooled easily. Once they are exposed, it is estimated that the ending will be miserable.

After the capture of Xingqing Mansion and other places in Lingzhou, Xixia is basically subjugated, but the battle is not over yet.

Han Shizhong's troops will continue to send troops to sweep both sides of Helan Mountain, go north to the Mongolian grassland, and go west to contact the Liao Kingdom in Yelu Dashi.

Once the Great Song Dynasty was ridiculed as not being an orthodox Central Plains Dynasty, because too many places were lost.

Now Li Yunze has made up for these missing parts little by little.

After the Kingdom of Jin and Xixia were destroyed one after another, there were no strong forces around them.

To the north is the Mugwu that has not yet risen. The Mugwu cavalry after a hundred years is indeed very powerful, the kind that swept the World Island.

It's just that right now, it's not a climate.

Li Yunze would not give them a chance to become successful.

Han Shizhong will always live in the old Xixia land, and his next main job is to keep putting pressure on the Mughals until they fall apart completely.

To the east are Koryo and Fusang, which are traditional countries in East Asia.

When Yue Fei stabilized the Northland, he would take action to deal with them.

Li Yunze doesn't do anything like paying tribute to the heavens and the kingdoms, no matter how much he pays, he will occupy all the territory he can occupy.

Didn't it mean that the land area of ​​the Song Dynasty was small, so it would make a promise of a large land.

As for Dali and Annan, the recovery of the Western Regions is all on the schedule, just take it slowly.

Li Yunze, who looked at the map, sometimes felt very emotional.

Because such a huge territory has been recovered now, there is still a huge area that has not been recovered.But even if they are all added together, it is not as huge as the territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties at their peak.

"The prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties is really yearning. If there is no accident, I should also have the opportunity to gallop."
