The struggle of the reborn prince

After the battle here, Zhao Tong transferred the command post overnight to Hufengzhai between Liangu and Qin, still using the Guards and Quru Department of Hezhou as a reserve team, ready to reinforce Zhao Lian's Department and the Qin battlefield at any time. Some people don't think so. It didn't take much trouble to kill the Baotai army today. The reserve team has become a cleaning team to clean up the battlefield. Looking at the captive storage team, they are full of confidence in annihilating Chage

Zhao Tong didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest, and relaxed his vigilance. According to his intelligence, Cha Ge's 2 people are really not simple. In terms of equipment and quality, they can be called leaders in this era. They also adopt a combined organization, and all arms are combined to fight. Military thinking can also be called leading, that is, limited by the times and the economic foundation of the Xia Kingdom, it is impossible to form an army on a large scale, otherwise it can be said to be rampant in the world

"Iron Kite" "Song History? Bingzhi" has a record: "There are Pingxia cavalry in Xixia, so-called 'Iron Kite', who can travel hundreds of miles and wait for thousands of miles. When encountering enemies on the plains, they often use iron kites as soldiers who are rushing forward."

This army is the most familiar to Zhao Tun and all the troops that have fought against Xia Jun. It formed the army in the period of Li Yuanhao. It first served as the guard of the royal family, and later served as the former army that charged into battle. It was the trump card of Li Yuanhao's trump card. There are only 3000 people, all of whom are elites of various ethnic groups, well-equipped cavalry, riding on good horses, heavy armor, and impenetrable to spears, connected with hooks and ropes, even if the horses are dead, they will not fall. The chaos will attack them, and the infantry will follow up with the prestige of the iron cavalry. Before the appearance of the Mongolian iron cavalry that traversed the world, it was the most ferocious cavalry in the world and the nightmare of all party enemies.

The main force of Chage's light cavalry is composed of the "garrison", which is an army formed to defend the capital Xingqing Mansion and nearby strategic locations. A total of 5000 people were selected from the 17 people stationed in Xing and Ling for training. There are [-] soldiers, and [-] soldiers are used to support this army. There are [-] logistics soldiers to help it. It can be seen that its equipment is incomparable to other armies.

Chage's personal guards are in charge of the 'Proton Army', which consists of 5000 people who are selected from among the party's aristocrats who can ride well. They are responsible for protecting the emperor's safety. There are six shifts in the garden, divided into three guards, and each person is given a monthly salary of two stones per month for Kinki guards or palace guards.

Another special force is the "Poxi Army", which is Xixia's artillery unit. There are only a small number of them. In the early days, there were only more than 200 people equipped with real artillery. The stone machine was installed on the camel, and it could throw a fist-sized stone and hit more than 200 steps. It perfectly combined the mobility and the power of the stone machine. This army provided a powerful force for Li Yuanhao to fight against the city in the future. fire support

Ordinary soldiers in Chage can also become elite infantry. It is composed of the Hengshan Qiang "Shan Ye", which is the most elite mountain warfare force today; The soldiers of the army are all selected from the brave Hanzhong, and they are taught to use strong crossbows and signs, which is the result of Cha Ge's study of "using barbarians to control barbarians"

Zhao Tong was taken aback when he heard that Brother Cha led 2 iron kites to march westward. If 2000 horses and horses covered in iron armor rolled over, all the loyal and brave troops would not dare to wipe their edge. Equipped with firearms, but facing this airtight 'body armor', the power will be greatly reduced. When they see them, they can only avoid them head-on. However, it is necessary to rely on the danger and deal with it carefully. Later, Zhao Tong ordered the intelligence department to do a full reconnaissance and found out the composition of Brother Cha's troops. Don't dare to fight head-on, you must know that the light cavalry can only be slaughtered in the face of the charge of the heavy cavalry, and there is absolutely no good result in a frontal confrontation

As the information came in successively, Zhao Tang finally figured out the composition and exact number of Chage's army. In addition to the two thousand iron kites, there were 1000 proton troops composed of the Proton Army, five hundred Artillery Poxi Army, and the Garrison Army. The main force is 5000 cavalry, 3000 infantry, and [-] strong crossbow troops, but the infantry and strong crossbow troops, like Zhao Tuo's dragoons, used horseback maneuvering and dismounted to fight, and their mobility is also very strong , can keep up with the footsteps of the army, although it is better than [-] iron kites, but Zhao Tuo also did not dare to underestimate it. After several considerations, he decided to "kill the enemy's sharp edge, lure the enemy to go deep, cut his wings first, and then behead his head." battle plan

Zhao Tun first concentrated his superior force and cut through the chaos with a sharp knife. He first annihilated 1 cavalry from the Baotai Army Division, and the [-] Xia Army from the Jianing Army Division who pretended to attack Qin was also surrounded at night. The number of Qin Zeng soldiers has reached [-], plus a hussar battalion of more than [-] defenders and tiger generals who returned from Liangu to Qin, already has an absolute advantage in numbers, and it is only a matter of time before these [-] people are eaten

After these two battles, the total number of Xia troops had dropped sharply to [-]. Excluding the [-] Xia troops covering the right wing, there were only [-] Xia troops in the He and Feng areas. Basically on par with the Song army, not superior in number, but due to the lack of food and grass, morale was low, and the whole army was hard to rest for food, and it became a tired army. Although they captured Liangu, the Song army transferred the food and grass in time. After burning the remaining food, Xia Jun got very little, so he had to try his best to get through the road to Fengzhou to get supplies

On the other hand, under the command of Zhao Tun, the Song army won three consecutive battles, and the morale of each army was high. In the three battles, the loyal and brave army was the main force. With the help of powerful firearms, the losses of each department were very small, and the more troops only borne the burden. Most of the assisting missions are in the process of rest and reorganization. It can be said that the food and grass mobilized before the war are piled up in all the fortresses. They don't have to worry about food and drink. They are fighting at home again, and the road information is smooth. The situation on the battlefield has reversed.

Now the time is right, Chage's main force has been lured into the Chuolun River, as long as the mouth of the river is blocked and the pockets are tightened, then Chage will be a turtle in the urn, and it is impossible to escape, and the dawn of victory is dawning

. . . . . .

"Report to the lord, and receive the newsletter from the prefect of the prefecture." Just after dawn, Jiang Fei hurried into the lord's big tent

"Oh, Yeli must have annihilated the [-] Xia troops who attacked Quye Village and reported victory to us, but there is no need to be so impatient." Zhao Tong said with a smile while brushing his teeth.

"The complete annihilation of Brother Cha is now, at that time we can send troops to Xiazhou and take Xingling directly." After a series of victories, the loyal and brave army was immersed in the joy of victory, and everyone was very optimistic about the battle situation. Jiang Fei echoed with a smile

"Nian Nian" Zhao Tun pointed to the letter in Jiang Fei's hand, and said vaguely with his mouth full of foam

"My lord, I lead the Xia army as planned to lead the Xia army to retreat while fighting. They pretended to be defeated and retreated to Zhuolunchuan. When they were preparing to wait for them to camp, when they led the ambush to wipe out the enemy, the Xia army suddenly retreated. He dared to send troops without permission, after a night of investigation, his troops retreated [-] li to join forces with Brother Cha, and the whole army retreated overnight, I don't know what it means..." Jiang Feiyue's voice became softer as he read.

"Xia Jun in Zhuolunchuan is going to run away, cough..." Zhao Tun was shocked when he heard it, he snatched the letter and read it, he lost his face and swallowed all the mouthwash in a hurry, which made him cough repeatedly

"Second Master, Second Master..." Everyone saw that Zhao Tun was so choked that he just rolled his eyes, and they all went forward to rescue him, touching his chest, hitting his back, making a mess

"Jiang Fei, you send someone to investigate. Where is the Chage Army? How far is it from Liangu?"

"My lord, you..." Jiang Fei had never seen his lord so nervous before, he said in surprise

"Go quickly, I'll kill you first if I miss something." Zhao Teng stood up suddenly, pointed at Jiang Fei and shouted, Jiang Fei was really anxious to see the prince, so he hurriedly paid the bill and led someone to investigate it himself, even forgot to salute

"Get the map, quickly get the map" Zhao Tang casually wiped the scum from his mouth, and swept everything on the table to the ground, Xin Zhao and others who were still in a daze while cleaning the account roared, everyone was dumbfounded, The prince lost his composure, there must have been a big accident, he hurriedly laid out the map

"The Hezhou ambush was set up here, and they retreated [-] miles last night, so Brother Cha should be here. They will retreat immediately after receiving the report...they have to pass through three bridges and six passes...the heavy cavalry is full The armor weighs a hundred catties, so the speed will definitely be affected... It is Qingqi rushing..." Zhao Tang looked at the map, silent for a while, chattering for a while, squinting his eyes from time to time to calculate something, at this moment the tent was silent. It was so scary, everyone didn't dare to breathe when they saw the evil prince

"Pass me an order to command Zhao Lian's troops to capture Liangu within two hours, and then move forward five miles quickly to set up a defense line at the mouth of Zhuolunchuan. We must resist Xia's army before the army arrives; order Qu Ru's troops to go to Qin to cooperate immediately. The defenders annihilated the soldiers and horses of the Jianing Army. The battle must be over before noon. Arrived at Liangu to set up a second line of defense to block the way out for Xia's army; Flying Pigeon sent a letter to the State Ministry of Harmony to send troops to follow Sao to harass Xia's army, delaying his marching speed and telling all the ministries that this was a death order and the task was not completed No one, kill without pardon." After arranging the order, Zhao Teng gritted his teeth with a grim face and said, the people in the tent are all his cronies, and if he knows that the prince is like this, he is telling the truth. Neither Jian Xi nor Zhao Xin dare Neglect, immediately ordered to go down, and several messengers rushed to various ministries with commander-in-chief orders.

"Zhao Zhi, you should immediately mobilize all the supply battalions and rush to transport ammunition to Liangu with all your strength. The supply of machine guns and cannons must not be cut off. Order the engineering battalion to immediately erect two pontoon bridges on the Zhulun River leading to Liangu to ensure that the army can be transported in time. cross the river"

"Xin Zhao, gather your guards immediately and follow me to Zhuolunchuan. We must block Brother Cha inside, otherwise we will cause endless troubles if we let the tiger go back to the mountain." Zhao Tong issued two more orders

"Second Master, then what am I doing?" Jianxi asked eagerly seeing that everyone had something to do, but he had become an idler.

"You..." Zhao Tun pondered for a while, "You take my imperial bestowed sword and go to the Qin Supervisor Army, and if you are slack, cut it off." (To be continued)
