Guide to traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty

Liu Huichuan is a Han from Hengshan and has been abducted to Xixia for ten years.

Xixia was afraid that the Han people would escape, so they would often be sent to the rear to farm, such as Guazhou and Shazhou.

Liu Huichuan was taken to Guazhou when he was only fourteen years old. First, he worked as a military land serf. After three years of farming, he was confirmed to be honest and then he was forcibly conscripted into the army.

Simply train to form an array and throw it directly to the battlefield.

At that time, Xixia's various ministries suffered heavy losses. Cannon fodder troops such as Chong Gongzi were depleted very quickly. New recruits often did not survive half a year on the battlefield.

Moreover, there was insufficient food and grass, and Liu Huichuan was hungry all day long. He did not fight a few battles, but retreated with the troops.

Then one day, his army was summoned urgently, and the commander-in-chief heard that it was King Richard of Jin.

Liu Huichuan didn't know anything, so he just followed the large army and marched hastily.

When I arrived, I heard that the Northwest God General Liu Fa had penetrated deeply alone and was surrounded by them. Moreover, the food and grass for Liu Fa's army had been cut off.

The young masters were frightened. They had heard of Liu Fa's name for a long time and thought that they would definitely die.

Liu Huichuan thought the same way. He had listened to Liu Fa's stories since he was a child, but now he wanted to be used as cannon fodder and be incorporated into the front army to fight Liu Fa head-on.

Obviously facing the surrounded Liu Fa army, the Western Xia front army was demoralized. After a short battle, they were defeated and fled, and were forced back to fight by the supervising team.

Several Han serfs who enlisted with Liu Huichuan were all dead by the time of the fourth attack. Liu Huichuan gradually moved from the back row of the front army to the front row. He only knew how to fire his gun and poke randomly. He didn't know how many Song troops he killed or injured. Anyway, he would run away with the friendly troops when something went wrong.

The battle lasted for more than three hours from morning to evening.

Liu Huichuan was shot in several parts of his body and lost excessive blood. After a retreat, he fell into a coma.

When he woke up, the battle was over.

Tie Yaozi climbed over the mountains and ridges to complete the outflank, and suddenly attacked Liu Fa from behind. Liu Fa organized a reserve team to carry out a counterattack, but was outnumbered and failed miserably to break through. In the end, he fell off a cliff and broke his leg, and was killed by a logistics soldier.

After hearing about this, Liu Huichuan even cried. He didn't know why he was crying.

Six months later, Song and Xia negotiated peace.

Due to heavy casualties in the army, Liu Huichuan, a new recruit who had been in the army for more than half a year, was inexplicably promoted to a low-level officer.

Low-level officers still have to farm!

It was just that it was replaced by the Henan Army Division, and Liu Huichuan was stationed here for a long time and was allocated four acres of land in the Kalochuan Valley. The original owners of those lands had died, leaving only orphans and widows in the family. All the land and people were rewarded to Liu Huichuan.

From a Han serf, Liu Huichuan not only transformed into an officer, but also had land and even a wife and children!

He began to identify himself as a Xixia man and secretly vowed to behave well.

But reality slapped him in the face, and last year he was summoned to invade Song Dynasty. The captured soldiers went around plundering, and they could rob people and goods as they pleased, and the loot could be handed over in proportion.

As for Liu Huichuan, these young masters had to hand over everything they grabbed. Only when the senior officers were in a good mood would they reward them like beggars.

Liu Huichuan thought that his rank was too low. Later, when he asked someone about it, he found out that he was on the verge of promotion.

Soldiers who were born as Han slaves could only serve as low-level officers throughout their lives. Even if they made great achievements, they would only be on the side of mid-level officers!

So, Liu Huichuan began to go around, not caring much about training, but working hard on the land while his wife and children stayed on the bed.

The Song army came again... No, it was the Ming army.

I heard that the Han people had changed dynasties, and a new emperor named Zhu ruled the world.

The terrifying weapon shocked everyone. The princes all said that Emperor Zhu was blessed by God and asked gods to come down to earth to give the Ming army extraordinary powerful magic weapons.

Liu Huichuan was in fear all day long, and at the same time secretly said that he was lucky because he was a low-level officer and his wife and children allowed him to withdraw into the city.

The Han soldiers under his command were in dire straits. Because there were too many troops defending the city, their families were left outside the city. Some of the young masters' homes were even thirty or forty miles away from the city, and they had no idea whether their family members were still alive.

Two months of continuous harassment day and night made Liu Huichuan extremely exhausted.

Although he knew it was a fake siege, he couldn't help but wake up when he heard the noise in the middle of the night. It was difficult to fall asleep after that, as he always felt that the Ming army was about to come in.

Today it is Liu Huichuan's turn to defend the city. He has ten soldiers under his command.

At the first copy, there is one regular soldier and one miscellaneous soldier.

But that belongs to the establishment of other troops. There is no distinction between regular soldiers and mixed soldiers here. Liu Huichuan's ten soldiers are twenty people.

Under normal circumstances, Young Master would be in the front row as cannon fodder, but this time it was extremely important to defend the gap. Once defeated, the city would fall.

Therefore, the higher-status Qisheng Army was assigned to the front row to block the gap, while Liu Huichuan and the other colliding men were assigned to assist in filling the gap in the back row.

Before the Ming army rushed up, Liu Huichuan heard a banging sound.

He knew that it was a magic weapon, and like the divine cannon that could blow down city walls, it was given by the God of Thunder under the command of God Haotian.

"Chief! The leader is gone!"

As soon as the two armies came into contact, Liu Huichuan heard the terrified soldiers in the front row shouting.

These are authentic party troops. The tribal chief is responsible for recruiting soldiers and arranging the nobles of his tribe to lead them.

This kind of force is called a "Yi Liu", and there is no strict limit on the number of troops.

But according to the number of troops, the leaders are divided into big leaders and chiefs.

It was already obvious that the battle had just begun and the commander of this force was gone.

Liu Huichuan was very familiar with that leader, who came from the "Going to Benefit Department" of the Eighth Department of the Party. He wore majestic iron armor during battle. Last year, he led troops to attack Tongchuan Fort, looted all the supplies inside, and kidnapped hundreds of Han people along the way and sent them to Guazhou as serfs.

"Brother Liu, we can't fight this battle. The Han soldiers have Thunder God's magic weapon in their hands!" the soldiers under his command said in horror.

Liu Huichuan looked at the other soldiers and found that all of them looked horrified.

Turning his head to look forward, he saw that the Qisheng army that was defending the gap had been shattered to pieces by the impact.

A herald rode over on horseback and continuously whipped the officer who bumped into the young master. Liu Huichuan was also whipped: "Why don't you read the flag order? Fill it in quickly!"

The mid-level officer who bumped into the young master here, Liu Huichuan's immediate boss, was leading a unit to block the edge of the gap, but was killed by a cold shot before the confrontation. This resulted in military orders issued by high-level generals failing to reach Liu Huichuan.

Liu Huichuan bravely raised his spear and led his soldiers forward.

But the soldiers had long been frightened by firearms, and they all believed that the Ming army was protected by gods. At this moment, the city was about to be defeated, and they were not willing to fight desperately. They all looked to the side passages, preparing to run away to save their lives.

Liu Huichuan was about to take up his position, but when he saw the capture army in front, they suddenly collapsed and ran away.

I also heard people from the Ming army shouting with a Shaanxi accent: "Brothers, Han, if you lie down, you will avoid death. Tomorrow's soldiers will not cut off your heads to judge your merits!"

Before Liu Huichuan could react, several of the twenty men under his command had already dropped their weapons and ran back, retreating and lying down next to the house without moving.

Liu Huichuan looked at the herald who reined in his horse and turned around in fear. A feeling of anger surged into his heart. He abandoned his gun and rushed over in two steps, dragging the opponent's skirt down.

The Xixia herald was unprepared and was pulled off his horse violently.

Liu Huichuan pulled out the opponent's waist knife, pressed down on his throat and hit everything hard, then turned around and shouted: "We are surrounded on all sides and can't escape. Come and fight for a future with me!"

After hearing this, the young masters came to Liu Huichuan one after another.

The city is surrounded and escape is almost impossible, so we can only give it a try.

I bet these officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will not be like the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, who cut off the heads of princes who have performed meritorious services to receive rewards!

Liu Huichuan grabbed Dang Xiang's braid and cut it off with a bloody waist knife. Then he picked up a spear and shouted: "You are a man who bumps into your son, I will cut off my hair to kill the thief!"

The soldiers under his command immediately woke up and quickly cut off the party's braid with their swords.

They rushed towards the undefeated Qisheng Army, and cooperated with the siege Ming army to attack from the front and back. The Qisheng Army, which was attacked from both sides, collapsed instantly.

The Ming army officer (actually the team leader) who defeated the enemy together rushed over with his troops and praised: "Good man, follow me to the city to kill!"

This person has a Northern Sichuan accent from the Song Dynasty, which is the same as the Shaanxi accent and is called "Western accent". The accent is different but understandable.

Liu Huichuan was overjoyed when he heard this. He had made the right bet and could survive.

Several other soldiers received the order and cautiously stepped forward to fill the gap.

Liu Huichuan charged with Yuanyang's team, and shouted while charging: "You bump into me, I will cut off your hair and kill the thief. Everyone will be rewarded for their great achievements!"

The soldiers under his command also followed: "Cut off the hair and kill the thief, everyone will be rewarded!"

Seeing that their troops had not been killed or beheaded, the nearby gangster immediately saw hope of survival and hurriedly cut off his hair. And they took the initiative to gather with Liu Huichuan, thinking that he was the leader and planning to survive in the chaos.

Gong Xiu did not enter the city because he had to command several troops in the gaps at the same time.

When a gap in front of him was breached, he immediately ordered the reserve team to rush forward: "Hurry and open the city gate!"

His troops have already achieved the first victory, and if they can seize the gate, it will be complete. Opening the city gate will allow friendly troops to come in and help.

When Li Yuchang arrived with his resting troops, there were already six to seven hundred people gathered around Liu Huichuan. They were obviously dressed as party members, but they followed the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and rushed to kill them. They kept shouting "cut off the hair and kill the thieves, everyone will be rewarded".

Li Yuchang was also hit by the young master behind him, and there were quite a few of them. Seeing this situation, they all felt dissatisfied.

Li Yuchang also understood Chinese and was immediately frightened.

Then he died.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

A series of gunshots rang out, and Li Yuchang, the Xixia Prime Minister, was hit by more than ten bullets. Even several of the soldiers around him were shot.

Who asked him to wear high-end armor, ride a fine horse, and lead his troops to the front?

The musketeers hiding in Yuanyang's team all aimed at him and opened fire, and were beaten into pieces in an instant.

Li Yuchang fell off his horse and fell to the ground, his eyes wide open.

With his status, he should have died a heroic death, but today he died inexplicably, before he even had time to command the troops to fight.

Han Huaizhong, who was mobilizing troops at the top of the city, saw this scene from a distance and was immediately stunned.

He stroked his armor. He was not afraid of being shot into a hedgehog before, but how should he face the new weapons of the Han soldiers?

(Today is too late. The new chapter tomorrow will come with a route map for sending troops from both sides.)
