At this time Lin Hao said:

"Father, how about we do something big this time!"

"Oh, what do you want to do?" the British father asked curiously.

Afterwards, Lin Hao explained his plan, and the two of them discussed this until it got dark before they came up with a stable plan.

Chapter 329 Northwest Raiders

The next morning at court, a group of civil and military ministers finally stopped arguing over the matter of establishing a heir apparent!

At this time, Xixia had tens of thousands of troops stationed on the border, looking ready to make a move, which frightened the people in the court.

Although the emperor did not want to argue about establishing a crown prince, he did not want to be invaded by Xixia, so he shouted loudly:

"Don't you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the entire court suddenly fell silent. A group of civil servants immediately looked at their noses and minds, as if they had nothing to do with me at this time!

But the military generals were different. All of them were ready to move, and they all made suggestions to lead troops to help the northwest!

Since the Qingli Peace Conference, the Song Dynasty and Xixia have not had a large-scale war for more than ten years.

Now that Xixia suddenly has troops on the border, the generals and nobles are of course very happy, because only when a war breaks out can they have the opportunity to make contributions!

However, as soon as the military general Xungui spoke, a group of civil servants ignored him at all, obviously not wanting the military general to lead the troops in the war.

At this time, the British Duke said: "Lanzhou is the gateway to the Western Regions and an important town on the Silk Road. How could we, the Song Dynasty, give up such a good opportunity!"

When Xianggong Wang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he understood what the British duke meant, and he immediately said:

"What the British public says is right!"

Afterwards, all the princes in the court immediately understood what the British prince meant and immediately started actively making various suggestions.

You say you want to fight in this way, and he says you want to fight in that way. He also says that what you said is wrong, and you should fight as he said.

Moreover, each one of them cited classics and eloquently criticized Fang Qiu. All the wonderful wars in the past history books were listed one by one for reference.

In the eyes of these civil servants, Xixia is as easy to deal with as a chicken or a dog. It seems that as soon as they open their mouth, the enemy will automatically retreat five hundred miles!

However, they can only talk nonsense. When it comes to real materials, these military generals are the professionals!

After some intense discussions, it was finally decided that the British government would appoint Shaanxi's military envoy and lead a group of nobles from Bianjing to rush to Jingyuan Road with an army of [-] men, waiting for an opportunity.

Although some civil servants still didn't realize it, after being reminded by people around them, they immediately understood the meaning and proactively said:

"This matter is related to the safety of the Song Dynasty. Let the British army lead the attack!"

······

At this time, Xixia was at its peak, with several states including Xia, Yin, Sui, You, Jing, Ling, Hui, Sheng, Gan, Liang, Gua, Sha, and Su, namely northern Ningxia, northern Gansu, northern Shaanxi, and Qinghai Eastern and parts of Inner Mongolia.

This time, we were apparently going to Jingyuan Road instead of Yulin for support. Naturally, we had another purpose!

More than ten years ago, Xixia defeated Tubo and occupied Hexi and Lanzhou areas. Lanzhou was the gateway to the Western Regions and an important node on the Silk Road.

The Song Dynasty has long been eyeing Lanzhou and other places, and this change in Xixia naturally gave the Song Dynasty an excellent opportunity!

Once this trade route is opened, the entire court or civil servant group will benefit, and the generals will gain military merit.

Then the British Duke came to the camp, beat drums to gather the generals, and announced the military order to rush to Jingyuan Road, and Lin Hao was appointed cavalry commander and led 3000 Song Dynasty armored cavalry to set off early!

Before setting off, Lin Hao arranged two radio stations for the British company to use for communication with the rear!

Later, Lin Hao came to a warehouse where there was a large amount of various baggage prepared. Lin Hao used the space equipment he made and frantically began to ship grain, grass baggage, bow equipment and other materials.

With space equipment, there is no need for civilians to transport baggage. The cavalry can naturally move easily and easily, and their mobility and flexibility are greatly enhanced!

As Lin Hao came to Zhuangzi in the Duke's Mansion again, Lin Hao's industrial base has improved in the past two years and he has been able to carry out small-scale steel smelting. Therefore, Lin Hao has accumulated a lot of equipment in the past six months!

This time, Lin Hao plans to equip his troops with the best steel swords and armors. As for the replaced equipment, Lin Hao will also bring it with him, which will be of great use in the future!

When everything was ready, Lin Hao took the cavalry and set off all the way to the west!

······

Later, after half a month of traveling, the 3000 cavalry led by Lin Hao arrived at Yongxing Road (Xi'an).

Don't be too slow. Lin Hao once thought that the cavalry could travel two hundred kilometers a day without any problem.

But after he came to this world and actually commanded the cavalry, he realized that the speed of the cavalry was actually very slow.

Even in forced march mode, the distance is only 80 kilometers per day, while the normal speed is 35 to 50 kilometers.

This is when the traffic conditions are good!

After Lin Hao arrived at Yongxing Road, he took a short rest for two days and then continued to set off!

But instead of heading west to Lanzhou, we headed all the way north. After half a month of marching, we successfully arrived at Yan'an Road (Yan'an Prefecture)!

At the same time, the 20-strong army from Bianjing, known as the [-]-strong army, also happened to arrive at Yongxing Road and continued westward to Lanzhou.

At this time, Xixia had received news that the Song Dynasty had sent 20 troops this time, but they could not send any troops to fight at this time!

Because since Xia Yizong of Xixia, Li Liangzuo succeeded to the throne, his mother Empress Dowager Wu Zang and Wu Zang blackmailed Pang to rule.

However, the empress dowager Wu Zang was lewd and lustful. Because Li Shougui and Chi Duo had competed for favor many times, Li Shougui killed the empress dowager Wu Zang, while Wu Zang and Pang wanted to kill Li Shougui. Therefore, Xixia is now in chaos.

It was approaching August. After two and a half months of long-distance march, the British Duke finally came to Jingyuan Road. After repairing it for several days, he marched to Lanzhou!

At this time, Xixia had recovered from the chaos, and then Pang personally led 25 cavalry and [-] infantry, claiming to be an army of [-], and rushed towards Lanzhou in a mighty manner!

However, just after Wu Zangyu Pang led his troops to leave Xingqing Mansion (Yinchuan), Lin Hao immediately received the telegram, and then led the cavalry to continue northward and kill the empty Jingbian County.

After taking Jingbian, Lin Hao used the Song Dynasty cavalry as the core, immediately gathered the horses, recruited Han people on the spot, and then quickly pulled out a cavalry.

Then he sent people to collect the materials and concentrated them all in Lin Hao's space equipment. He killed all the cattle, sheep and livestock, and then threw them into the vacuum space equipment as a reserve of military rations.

At this time, there were still a large number of Han people here, so the recruitment was relatively smooth, so Lin Hao used this model to head west.

Recruit the tribes you encounter that can be recruited, and fight those that cannot be recruited. After fighting, recruit again, and then harvest various materials.

Lin Hao used this extremely vicious method to quickly raise a huge cavalry team.

This method was used because most places in Xixia were still tribal systems at this time, and they had no national or national consciousness.

As long as these tribes are given food and drink, and the spoils of war are distributed to them, they will immediately rely on the strong to plunder the weak. This is the way they have always fought.

Lin Hao moves very fast and does not stay for too long after conquering a place. He also acts secretly, so Xixia has not yet received news of Lin Hao's raid.

After fighting like this all the way, Lin Hao took Yanzhou by surprise and easily. Although there were many troops stationed in Yanzhou, Lin Hao was Lin Hao's opponent there!

At this time, it was less than two hundred kilometers away from Xingqingfu, the capital of Xixia.

Hundreds of tribes and villages were raided on the way. Rumors began to spread in Xixia that the Zhou army had invaded the country. Ordinary people began to panic, and Xingqing Mansion also began to impose martial law.

Lin Hao's cavalry team had expanded to 3 people, and they couldn't hide if they wanted to. Therefore, Lin Hao simply asked the team to rest in Yanzhou for three days before leading the troops to Xingqing Mansion!

After such a long time, Xingqing Mansion naturally knew about the strange army led by Lin Hao. However, at this time, Xingqing Mansion's troops had already been taken away by Wu Zang and Pang, and there were only 5000 people left behind.

But even so, the people in Xingqing Mansion were confident in guarding. After all, most of the troops Lin Hao brought were cavalry and there were no siege equipment.

Therefore, after recruiting more than ten thousand civilians, they began to defend the city!

However, what they didn't know was that Lin Hao had prepared a big gift for them!

But before that, Lin Hao still sent people to persuade him to surrender, but the young leader of Xingqing Mansion, Li Liangzuo, was stubborn.

Therefore, Lin Hao didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, and just started ruthlessly!

"Boom, boom, boom!" Following several huge roars, a large section of the city wall of Xingqing Mansion was blown open!

What Lin Hao used was not black powder, but TNT made by himself. The dosage was small but the effect was extremely powerful!

Then the cavalry led by Lin Hao rushed straight to a collapsed city wall, and behind him were a large number of cavalry rushing straight to Xingqing Mansion.

As for what the cavalry who rushed in would do, Lin Hao didn't know. Anyway, after he gathered the Han people, he didn't care about anything!

Three days later, Lin Hao's entire Xingqing Mansion had calmed down. Then Lin Hao left more than [-] Song Dynasty cavalry and led a thousand miscellaneous cavalry to stay in Xingqing Mansion!

Lin Hao himself, with [-] Song Dynasty uniformed cavalry as the core, recruited more than [-] cavalry in Xingqing Mansion. Adding in the scattered cavalry gathered before, Lin Hao had nearly [-] cavalry!

Lin Hao then used illusion skills to lure the defenders of the four fortified cities of Lingzhou, Jingzhou, Huaizhou, and Shunzhou to surrender.

And every time he captured a city and accepted their surrender, Lin Hao had to recruit cavalry.

As a result, Lin Hao had more and more cavalry, the bigger, the more!

But Lin Hao did not dare to delay for too long. The British Duke in Lanzhou had no strategic advantage, so Lin Hao directly took [-] cavalry and continued to gallop south!

As Lin Hao captured Xingqing Mansion, Xixia was directly divided into two sections.

The Song Dynasty troops in the Hetao Plain, Yulin and other places in the northeast also began to march towards Xiazhou, preparing to regain their lost territory.

As for Lanzhou and the Hexi Corridor in the southwest, the British will lead the strategy!

At this time, the British Duke was leading [-] soldiers and horses to confront Wu Zang and Pang in Lanzhou.

When the news of the capture of Xingqing Mansion reached the British Duke via radio waves, the British Duke was almost crazy with joy.

His son has made a great contribution this time. As long as the army led by Wu Zangpang is defeated, it will be a battle to destroy the country!

So the British Duke immediately gathered his troops and created a tense atmosphere in Lanzhou in order to prevent Wu Zang and Pang from leaving with his troops.

Ten days later, the three armies of the Song Dynasty encircled and trapped Wu Zangyingpang near Lanzhou. Lin Hao hurriedly hurried, just in time to catch up with the Lanzhou battle!

At this time, Wu Zangying Pang had already shown his defeat, because Xingqing Mansion had been breached and the news of the death of the country's leader Li Liangzuo had spread throughout the army, so the soldiers had no fighting spirit.

Seeing that the opportunity was rare, Lin Hao did not bother to let the cavalry form a team, so he directly led the cavalry into the unhidden army formation.

Lin Hao relied on his physical attributes that were far beyond ordinary people to kill people on the battlefield. No matter how powerful the Xixia warriors were, they were no match for Lin Hao.

And with Lin Hao's surprise attack on Wu Zangying Pang's back, it was directly confirmed that Xingqing Mansion had been breached, and then Wu Zangying Pang's army was defeated by Lin Hao and collapsed!

After the war, the Song army collected the scattered horses. This battle formation killed more than [-] Xixia soldiers, captured more than [-] people, and countless people were missing.

Countless baggage and more than 6 intact war horses were seized. Including Lin Hao's previous seizures, Lin Hao had a total of 12 war horses!

Lin Hao also lost tens of thousands of cavalry this time, but Lin Hao didn't care about this. After all, most of them were barbarians. He could just recruit them after they died.

In the battle of Lanzhou, the Song Dynasty once again ushered in a brilliant victory. The key this time was different from before. This time it annihilated the enemy in one fell swoop.

This is a battle to destroy the country!

Then, with the power of a great victory, the British took Lin Hao's cavalry as the vanguard, started from Lanzhou, and went west along the Hexi Corridor to regain Wuwei, Zhangye, and Jiuquan one after another!
