Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 921 The end of the official war
Qu Duan didn't hold on for too long. When he saw Wang Xiu's letter, he was silent for a long time alone. When he came out, he became energetic and issued an order to fight against Xia. The Song-Xia all-out war was considered to be the end of the beginning.

Xie Qian was the first to launch the offensive. He supervised the five armies of the fifth and sixth battalions to start the first battle against Xia.

The Flying Cavalry and Dragon Cavalry armies of the Fifth Battalion are the absolute main force of the West Guard Army. They belong to the guard Ma Junsi. There are more than ten thousand cavalry in the two armies. Hongzhou launched an offensive, and nearly [-] imperial guards followed up.

The size of the horse army is not large. In fact, each army has only 5000 cavalry, accompanied by infantry and some infantry on mules and horses.

Xu Huiyan of the Sixth Battalion restrained more than [-] people from the three armies of Wanjie, Konghe, and Yunjie, and appointed frontier troops to cover the flanks of the Fifth Battalion, and entered Helanyuan to fight steadily.

The [-] local soldiers from each of the two battalions attached to the two camps followed the rear of the fifth battalion to provide support on the battlefield. The East Army has a hundred thousand troops, which is quite majestic.

It can also be regarded as the limit of the use of troops in one direction. Whether it is the command and coordination of the generals or the logistics support, it is impossible for the attacking side to have too many troops.

Even if there are 10 troops on the East Road, the number of elites who are actually used in front-line operations is only 5 to [-].

Those in the middle did not attack directly. Liu Yanliang's Eighth Battalion was relatively weak. There was only Yunyi Army attached to the Shangwanxiang Army. They gradually approached Sanyuandi Pingqiang City, forming a flank threat to Li Renzhong and Li Liangfu.

Wu Jie's seventh battalion, Shengjie, and Guangrui's two armies did not move. The Guangrui army originally belonged to the elite of Hedong.

With the gradual depletion of warhorse resources in the Great Song Dynasty, the army continued to shrink, with fewer and fewer warhorses, and it was no longer the grand occasion of the past.

When the line moved southward, the army was almost disbanded, and the new military system was changed to set up a special bugle, which can be regarded as a horse army.Although Sheng Rong is no longer the [-] iron cavalry of the past, there are still [-] elite cavalry, plus mules, horses, infantry, and heavy soldiers, the entire army has nearly [-] people, but the Han family has been replaced by Fan Han. mix up.

The most worrying thing is the Ninth Battalion, Shaoxing and the commander of the Yunjie Army, plus the Fanluo Army, there is the [-]th Battalion of the Fanhan Horse Army, which is also a powerful group, they have not moved, That is to say, the offensive has not yet been launched.

The Tianwu Army of the Dianqian Division cannot be mobilized by the Western Attendant. Wang Xie is a very proud guy. Group of bumpkins.

Qu Duan ordered the Tianwu Army to garrison the Zhenrong Army, ready to support Wu Jie's seventh battalion at any time.However, because Wang Xie didn't get the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Camp, he gave up all the excuses, and let the decisive Qu Duan suffer. It is absolutely unimaginable to be placed in the Western Guards, which is an act of death.

Qu Duan wished to kill Wang Xie, who would dare to disobey his military order?It's just that he is a guest army and a general in front of the palace. He clearly obeys Gao Ping's general order. From the perspective of the command system, there is nothing wrong with him. He can only stare blankly and hate his teeth.

The Tianwu Army itself is very good. As one of the top four armies of the Forbidden Army, the entire army consisted of 3000 people during the war, and there were two chariot battalions. The equipment was first-class and excellent.

By the way, the Dianqian Division is arrogant and true, but it is the arch guard line, which is greatly influenced by the imperial court. It also has 72 generals who started from the general school and gradually started in the Dianqian Division. Wang Xiu's policy is easier to implement. The scale of the Shangdian Qiansi is large, the horse army is relatively small, and the size of the chariot soldiers is increased by one battalion.

Yongxing Army Commander Si Yamen, the gate tower with cornices and blue plaques on Zhumen, all commanded by the Yongxing Army, and the blue plaques of Zhumen, are majestic and majestic. Four soldiers in crimson war robes and slender curved knives hold long lances in their hands, showing that there are no people here. Mo Jin.

A military general in scarlet clothes and half-sleeves, followed by two knights in scarlet clothes, flying eagles and crescent moon vests, dismounted at the archway in front of the gate.

"Who is coming... Oh, please stop." A doorman walked down the steps quickly, but his expression changed, he quickened his steps, and his tone became respectful.

As a guard of a high-level government office in the military, one must have good eyesight, and one must be familiar with the emblems of various ministries of the high-ranking generals of the Forbidden Army, otherwise there will be big troubles.

The military uniforms of the imperial army are still crimson, and the different military numbers are distinguished from the vests. The new military system has re-designed the patterns of each army, but the old military numbers and emblems that have been inherited have not changed, but the new army's emblems have been added.

The thirty-year-old general in front of me is clearly a senior general of the sixth rank. Looking at the emblem on the vest of the bodyguard, it is a black eagle with wings piercing the sun and the moon. Son, it's not something ordinary officials can offend.

Not long ago, Wang Xuan, who joined the Military Division of the Privy Council, dared to contradict Taiwei Qu openly, why did another uncle of the Privy Council come here!

"Thank you for reporting to Taiwei Qu. The deputy commander of the northwestern camp in front of the hall joined the army and Feng Yuanfeng Taiwei asked to see him." As he spoke, a guard handed over the official certificate.

"It turned out to be Feng Taiwei. Please wait for Taiwei to wait, and the villain will report immediately." Menzi was taken aback. He was indeed a member of the Privy Council who joined the Military Division. Try to know that the secretary of the mobilization of logistics, although the full-time deputy of the battalion has joined the army, his background is there, Wang Xianggong's disciples!

Besides, joining the army and the Yuhou system are relatively independent, and the official documents or claiming to be stationed in a certain department show that their appointment is not decided by the commander or military leader.

The person who came was Feng Yuan.Gao Ping joined the army as the deputy capital of the Dianqian Division, and was also sent to the northwest to control the battalion. He did not serve the army in the west at all. end.

You must know that Qu Duan had a quarrel with Wang Xuan, and was rejected by the Tianwu Army. Those who are well-informed know that Qu Duan is still a handsome man.

At this time, the people from Shu Shen and Dianqian Division are dead, what will happen to Qu Duan's face?Isn't this looking for fun!If I don't show you off, I'm lucky, but he still came, not caring about Gao Ping's smile with ulterior motives.

While Feng Yuan was waiting patiently, Qu Duan was discussing matters with Guo Yan, and his expression sank when he heard the report from his disciple.

"Feng Zixuan, Wang Wenshi's favorite general, Gao Ziheng should be here." Guo Yan glanced at Qu Duan meaningfully. Generally speaking, when Feng Yuan arrives, Gao Ping will naturally arrive. Why did he hand over the official card? It's Feng Yuan, but he didn't see Gao Ping, which is really interesting.
