Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 696 The best time for Pingxia is now (one more)
"Li Ganshun, the lord of the Western Xia Dynasty, ordered Li Liangfu, the chief inspector, to be his commander.

Unify Xingqing Mansion with [-] soldiers and horses, and [-] iron kites, together with Huaizhou, Jingzhou, Shunzhou, and Xiangqing Army, a total of [-] soldiers and horses.

After seven days, they will go south along the Yellow River to aid the Xishou Baotai Army Division. "

Hearing what Gao Zhang said, all the generals were stunned, especially those generals of the Western Army, all looked sideways at each other.

"Gao Shuai, can this news be confirmed?"

"The troops will not be sent out until seven days, and we have already received the news. Isn't this too fast?"

At this time, Liang Shicheng, the supervising army standing beside Gao Zhang, came out, cleared his throat and said.

"The generals probably don't know that a few years ago, the commander-in-chief had already invited the emperor to strengthen the spying on Xixia."

As the second in command of the Imperial City Division, Zhao Abban also stood up proudly.

"It has been five years so far, and I, the Imperial City Secretary of the Great Song Dynasty, have set my sights on the territory of Xixia, and there are more than two hundred detectives in total.

In Xingqing Mansion alone, there are more than thirty of them, even in the Xixia Court, hehe..."

"..." All the generals of the Western Army stared blankly at the smiling young Gao Zhang who was still full of composure.

Yao Xiong, who had just started on the battlefield and thought he was already very impressive, was looking straight at the prodigy champion of the Song Dynasty.

"Five years... Doesn't that mean that Gao Shuai was only twelve years old?"

"Good boy, no wonder he is hailed as the first child prodigy since the imperial examination system. He can have such foresight at the age of 12. I, the Great Song Dynasty, am very lucky..."

"It seems that the officials have a lot of trust in this son, and I'm afraid they are not inferior to Cai and Tong..."

Seeing the vulgar warriors who were already buzzing and gossiping, Gao Zhang coughed several times with a dark face.

Now is not the time for them to be here talking nonsense like the aunts in the streets.

"Everyone, generals, let's first discuss the matter of Xixia sending troops to help."

"Gao Shuai is right. Since there are still seven days left, it is enough for our army to calmly deploy to defend against incoming enemies."

"Seven days later... there are [-] soldiers and horses, and a thousand iron kites. It seems that this time, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom has begun to panic."

"Li Liangfu can be considered a Xixia general. He is from the Xixia royal family. His talents are outstanding and should not be underestimated."

"It seems that the Xixia King must not know that this Xishou Baotai Army Commander has already fallen into the hands of my Song Dynasty."

Looking at these generals who obviously started to digress again, Gao Zhang also felt a little bit pained. Fortunately, at this time, Zhong Shidao stood up and saluted Gao Zhang.

"Gao Shuai, the main force of the Western Army is here to help. Please show me how our army should behave."

As soon as this remark came out, the hall fell silent again, and everyone looked at Gao Zhang.

#####
"The day before yesterday, I have received a letter from the Huaide Army. Commander Liu (Liu Zhongwu) has commanded the main force of the Forbidden Army and has arrived in Huanzhou."

"I decided to set off tomorrow, rush to Anbian Town in Huanzhou, join Commander Liu's combined army, and then march north..."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhe Yanzhi's face changed drastically, and he quickly stood up and saluted Gao Zhang sincerely.

"Gao Shuai, is this too risky? Now that I have won consecutive victories in the Great Song Dynasty, I have already defeated the Xishou Baotai Army Division."

"You just need to be here and wait in full force, and Li Liangfu will definitely come and go, and then slowly figure it out..."

"General Zhe, I know your thoughts, as well as everyone's thoughts, but now, this is the best opportunity to severely damage Xixia, and even calm Xixia."

"If you miss it, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to settle down."

Gao Zhang glanced over these generals, raised his hand and pointed to the north.

"This time, the military commanders in the north of Xingqing Mansion in Xixia encountered a rare snow disaster in a century, which made the northern part of Xixia busy with disaster relief, and it was difficult to mobilize even a single soldier. This is one of them."

"As for our Dengyun Zhou in the Great Song Dynasty, when setting up the formation, we can check the enemy for dozens of miles, and observe the deployment of the enemy's formation and even the enemy's troops.

When marching, a telescope can tell whether there are ambushes hiding dozens of miles around, leaving the enemy with no cover. This is the second one. "

"When besieging the city, the flying thunder cannon cannonball it, open mountains and crack rocks, destroy cities and pull out villages. It's as easy as flipping the palm of your hand. The third..."

Now the Xixia Xishou Baotai Military Division has been destroyed by our Song Dynasty, leaving a strong army to defend it.

The soldiers and horses sent from the capital of Xixia will definitely be able to be restrained here, leaving the Xingqing Mansion of Xixia empty of troops.

More importantly, it is now in severe winter, and the surface of the Xiazhou River is frozen, and the ice is thick and full of feet. The army can advance along the river like a smooth road, straight into the hinterland of Xixia, and beat the opponent by a setback.

Gao Zhang stood there calmly and made statements one by one with reason and evidence, which made General Ganxi's heart skip a beat.

The capture of the Xishou Baotai Army Commander this time can be regarded as a show for these special troops of the Song Dynasty.

These two, of course, let the officers and soldiers of the Northwest Frontier Army understand that Song Dynasty did have the ability to make the solid city defense useless.

Of course, Gao Zhang did not forget to tell the generals present that he was not only leading the Forbidden Army this time when he went north.

He will also choose some young and energetic soldiers from the Western Army soldiers in Jingyuan Fort, and accompany him directly to Xingqing Mansion.

#####
In the early morning of the next day, Zhong Shizhong, Miao Lu, and Kai Keqiu were here with painful faces, watching the [-] cavalry of the Imperial Army commanded by the high commander, and the [-] cavalry of the [-] Western Army, and the [-] cavalry. The pawn went east.

There were [-] infantry guarding the city, the chief general of the planting division, Zhe Keqiu and Miao Lu as his deputy.

Gao Zhang handed over the command of the military division, but he couldn't defend it.It is imperative to pin down the Xixia's invading enemy here.

Of course, twenty gun crews were specially reserved for the seed division, and even the Yundeng boat was reserved for Yao Gu, who could go up to the sky in the city to find out the defense and focus of the enemy camp.

With such a force and such weapons, Gao Zhang didn't think that the Xixia coach would be able to defeat them.

As long as Jingyuan Fort is not broken, then Li Liangfu will not dare to go south. In addition, Gao Zhang also ordered Yao Gu to lead five thousand cavalry to roam around Roulang Mountain and to support Jingyuan Fort and the forts south of Roulang Mountain at any time.

The Liubao village in the south is also guarded by generals.In addition, Huizhou and Anxi Prefecture in the north of these six fortresses can also support.

At this moment, the famous generals of the Western Army accompanying Gao Zhang included Yao Xiong, Zhong Shidao, Na Zheyanzhi and Yang Weizhong.

At that time, if Gao Zhang wanted to advance north, he would definitely need a large army to cover his advance.

After all, Weizhou Jingsai Military Division is not far from Lingzhou River, so after the main force of the Forbidden Army is gathered, some troops will be pulled out to pretend to attack Weizhou Jingsai Military Division.

Gao Zhang will personally lead the main force of the Forbidden Army and part of the elite Western Army to attack Xingqing Mansion.
