Chapter 377

Prince Meat Grinder (VI)

The generals in the tent were all happy together.

Yeli knew that he would be insulted when he met a beggar. What should I do? Although Yuanhao doesn’t want my son, you have to fight this battle for me, otherwise I can’t afford to lose this face. Take it seriously, Yuanhao doesn’t want his son?

This battle can only win but not lose. In order to win this battle, I would be happy to slap him a few big slaps.

Zheng Lang was also amused and said, "I agree that you build the three villages of Wuyan. I will not send troops to attack before they are built. I cannot guarantee that after building them. As for the border, I am sorry, it is the border that you Xixia people first attacked. I have the ability to continue attacking your border. You have the ability to attack our borders. In addition to the battle of Shimenchuan, you can also attack our borders."

Send the messenger away.

Neither side took the other side seriously, nor did they take the other side seriously.

Yeli Yuqi would not think that Zheng Lang really fought with him in this village, and there must be conspiracy. Zheng Lang also knew that he would not let his rear.

As for who wins and who loses, the Eight Immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers.

But with the prince in his hand, he has the greatest trump card.

There is also a better trump card that I didn't play.

As soon as the envoy left, Zheng Lang ordered all the soldiers to go to Zhenrong Village to bring supplies.

The war is staggering.

The income from Jingyuan Road is not bad. Due to the seasonal factors, when winter comes, all livestock are pastoral in autumn, and it is the time to be strong. However, in winter, when entering the shed, not only will it lean meat, but also requires a lot of forage. The Jingyuan Road Traffic is opened, and people of all ethnic groups take advantage of the livestock to exchange supplies from the Central Plains when they are fertile in autumn.

During this period, the most profitable thing is available.

The Xixia people joined the market for several months, and Huizhou, Lanzhou areas and Liangzhou controlled by the Xixia people also secretly joined. Otherwise, they could only be transported to the north and traded with the Khitans. The price was originally sold to the Khitans, and the price was very low. If there was a distant transportation loss, how much was left?

At first, I wanted to make a fortune in a quiet voice, but I didn't say anything. After all, I had to transfer a procedure from them. Later, I was too high to say anything, so I didn't dare to stop talking. I sent someone to ask for instructions. Zheng Lang said it was correct. But it was not allowed to be promoted. I had to listen to my own arrangements when the suspension was terminated.

This has also become an important factor.

Really made a lot of money.

But after a battle, money comes and goes faster.

Weapons, armor and most of the supplies were provided by the court, and only rewards and pensions, training military equipment, purchasing some equipment, winter clothes, etc., the market would not be able to make ends meet.

But we cannot underestimate the role of the classics.

If you don’t have this money, you can only force the army to train and your morale is not high. Because there are many casualties and injuries, the people will be resentful. If you don’t have money to reward and provide compensation, the court must also take out money, which is equivalent to invisibly reducing the burden on the court.

To start a war in Shimenchuan, food, weapons, and various supplies must be prepared, including large jars and large jars, to prevent the enemy from cutting off the water of Shimenchuan.

It was far away from the rear, so the construction was stopped and the soldiers were asked to go to the rear to transport supplies.

But five thousand elite soldiers were left behind.

As night came, Zheng Lang ordered all five thousand people to get up and start digging the mud. Instead of digging in Shimen Village, they dug a little deeper, then put down some things and covered the soil again, and ordered not to leak it, otherwise they would kill them.

After the arrangement, the next afternoon, the resources of materials were continuously transported.

If you continue to build a city, you should still be a bar.

It is best to make the city walls made of smooth bluestone strips, so they cannot be hit by a collision wood and can only be attacked with strong attacks. They are strong and costly. The second is to make loess. Most of the northwest villages are of this type. There are strict requirements on height and width, at least two meters high and four or five meters wide. Without this height, enemies are easy to climb. Without this width, people cannot stand on the top of the city to defend the city, and they are more likely to be knocked down by hitting wood. The second is to use wood to hit the ground, build wooden fences, or randomly build a wall with stones. Most of them are used for temporary military camps, and the defense is far from enough.

The first type of city is a luxury, and the second type of city is also a luxury. There is too little time, and the third type of village cannot be used, so the defense ability is too poor.

Just so, the height of the wall is only a little over one zhang, less than four meters. If you are big, you can climb up by a ladder. The width is only more than two zhang. It is not as high as the height and width of the palace wall of the Xixia Palace.

When Yeli met an envoy sent by a beggar, he glanced at him with his eyes and looked thief, which made Zheng Lang think of a character in a historical novel, Jiang Gan.

Almost amused by him again.

Look, just this width and height, if you have the ability, you will break it.

Then good news came, and Han Qi was surprised by Zheng Lang. After receiving the letter, he immediately agreed to send 10,000 elite troops to Jingyuan Road for support. Fan Zhongyan also said that after the decisive battle, he would send troops to cooperate with Jingyuan Road.

When everyone heard this news, they were very happy.

In addition to the sacrificed soldiers, Jingyuan Road itself has more than 60,000 soldiers. At the critical moment, at least 10,000 archers, Fan Zhongyan's 10,000 and Han Qi's 10,000, and the total strength of more than 90,000 soldiers is impossible to use them all, but at least 60,000 soldiers can be used.

The scale of military use was the largest in the Song Dynasty since the Battle of Chanyuan.

Thinking about the ten thousand Song troops on Fulin Road are struggling among the tens of thousands of Xixia troops, I feel happy.

But the enemy's troops will not be short.

Zheng Lang and Lao Zong stood on the city wall, looking at Qianchuan, Lao Zong sighed: "If this battle is successful, the four armies will jointly attack, and it may lead to the Xixia people back to their original form."

Let them go to the Nanhetao Desert like Li Jiqian again to be bandits!

Zheng Lang shook his head.

This is a theory and luxury that cannot be realized in practice.

Just like if several groups of attacks in the Song Dynasty, plus the Tubo people and the Uighurs attacked at the same time, the Xixia would also destroy the country.

Or if the Xixia and the Khitan work together to launch an attack on the Song Dynasty, it will at least make the Song Dynasty lose half of its territory. But can it be united?

Even the four routes of the Song Dynasty were not good.

It is good to make Fan Zhongyan and Pang Ji abandon their conservative military views and make a small cooperation. Han Qi is very radical. He firmly advocates fighting against the Western Xia warriors, but like Pang Ji, he has too much selfishness. If he has a strong selfishness, he cannot cooperate well.

The four armies remained unmoved, and the tragedy of Song Shenzong's five armies attacking Xia would be staged in advance.

Just as I thought about Han Qi, Han Qi arrived.

Zheng Lang was a little dizzy when he heard this. Why are you, the little ancestor, here? You have to welcome him.

He greeted the camp and said, "Brother Zhigui, why did you come here?"

It is not in line with the rules of the court. You are the boss of Qin Fenglu and you are not allowed to cross the border.

"It's Xingzhi's call, how dare I not come?" Han Qi said.

"When will I..."

"Xingzhi, I was misunderstood by the people in Qinzhou. It was Xingzhi who spoke fairly for me in the temple. Therefore, Xingzhi sent an order and I personally led the army to Jingyuan Road."

Zheng Lang almost started to tremble. Han Qi, you are too shameless.

I just borrowed troops from you and did not call you. On the contrary, it not only became my call, but also my kindness!

No wonder in history, when Fu Bi was Han Qi's boss, he was tortured by Han Qi in the end and was too fierce.

Han Qi did not consider Zheng Lang's idea and directly began to say hello to the generals.

He turned out to be a big boss from Jingyuan Road. Strictly speaking, some generals have also been his subordinates. When they see Han Qi, they saluted respectfully.

Zheng Lang quickly invited him to the account and had to arrange the great god, otherwise he might be able to win the host.

When he arrived at the tent, Han Qi looked at Di Qing and said with a smile: "Di Qing, I heard about your deeds on Qin Feng Road. I performed well in this battle."

Zheng Lang felt dizzy again.

The Song people continued to call Lang and Langjun like the Tang Dynasty, but in the officialdom, they rarely call Langjun, which would impeach a charge of being charmed by acquaintance. In the officialdom, officials often call each other official positions, with a word "Hu" more intimate, and a brother or brother.

Also called a name, for example, when discussing official affairs, even if it is Lu Yijian, you can directly say what Lu Yijian is like. In the memorials, you can directly call the name of "王", but not "王", otherwise it will be suspected of making friends. There is another situation where the two people are too disparate, so you can also call the name.

Now Di Qing is a wise army. After the battle is about to be fought, he may be awarded a title and then called a name, which is an extreme contempt.

Sure enough, Di Qing's face darkened and he didn't make a sound.

Han Qi doesn't care. A small general can still jump out of the sky.

Zheng Lang was even more anxious, thinking about how to invite this great god out of Jingyuan.

So Han Qi guessed that he was going to fight against the Xixia people, and he wanted to avenge the Shuichuan sword, and at the same time, he was not ruled out that he was suspicious of competing for merit.

After thinking about it, Zheng Lang said, "Brother Zhigui, since you are here, I will talk about my combat plan."

"Okay, listen carefully."

Zheng Lang was sweating slightly on his forehead. He would rather fight against Yuan Hao than work with this person. But he had to go on and talk about the original plan, and then said: "I originally wanted to send troops to Tiandu Mountain after the previous battle to attract the enemy's main forces, and then attack Weizhou and Mingsha City. With the goal of destruction, it will increase the financial pressure of Xixia. The country is in poverty and the people are scarce, and it can also recruit all ethnic groups in the enemy's territory and weaken the strength of Xixia. I didn't expect to capture their prince, so I put this battle in our territory first."

"It should be so," Han Qi finally became serious when he talked about the serious matters.

Once Haoshuichuan was defeated, he grew up a lot, and he was in his own territory, and he was in the right place, and he was in the right place and people.

In fact, when he heard Zheng Lang's various actions, he was often disappointed. If he had known that scouts would spread the clans and transfer the tribes in the front to the rear. Without these hostile tribes' cooperation, Yuan Hao would not have been able to sneak into the Good Shuichuan, and his army would not have noticed it.

But I was not very convinced. Zheng Lang seemed to have done a good job and also learned his lesson. I carried the tree and Zheng Xingzhi was enjoying the cool air!

"It's better to attract the enemy's main force to this village."

"Why?"

“I made some arrangements.”

"No wonder the village wall is short and narrow, what arrangement is?"

"A new weapon."

"By the way, can you borrow a batch of horse, axe and guns to me in the future?"

"Brother Zhigui, ask the court for these three weapons. After this battle, the court will definitely pay attention to these three weapons." There is also the big sword, but ordinary soldiers cannot afford that big sword, and it is far less effective than the horse-cutting axe and hook and sickle spear used in the Battle of Shimenxia.

Zheng Lang changed his voice and asked, "Since Brother Zhigui is here, what are you going to do?"
