Chapter 33: The Battle to Destroy Western Xia (2)

At the Xingqing Prefecture City, there were not one million troops assembled by the enemy, and there was not much difference. Song 250,000 entered Hexi. In addition to leaving behind, there were also Song troops who were leading Zhong Yan, Yao Gu, Li Xian and others to cut off the retreat. There were 200,000 troops to Xingqing Prefecture. The Xixia and Tubo gathered more than 600,000 troops here, and the enemy and us gathered a total of more than 800,000 troops under the Xingqing Prefecture City.

If you look from the sky, you will see a sea of ​​people and horses in dozens of miles in a radius, a storm of blackness, like a surging sea tide, shaking the earth.

However, its advantages and disadvantages can be clearly understood at a glance. The Song army is well-equipped and shocking. More importantly, the Song army is all elite and Ding Zhuang.

However, the Xixia and Tubo army were two-thirds old and weak, and the two-thirds of the army were less than one-third. The two countries had one common feature, that is, the land was wide and the population was sparse, and the number of people was not large. Even if the whole people had soldiers, there were only hundreds of thousands of people.

If we can go to the battlefield, Xixia could mobilize an army of 500,000 or 600,000, as it is now. However, among so many armies, not many are truly elite.

The Western Xia and Tubo army were of varying quality and could not be compared with the Song army. Wu Ji's words hit the nail on the head. He just needed to defeat Tie Yaozi and Tubo personal guards, and the overall situation was decided, and he could be said to have won.

"Yes!" The generals also thought so, and they all nodded in agreement and said, "Master General, we will kill Tie Yaozi and Tubo personal guards first, so there is no need to fight this battle!"

"No!" Wu Ji shook his head and rejected the proposal of the generals: "This battle is to establish authority! To establish authority, one will have corpses and blood, and countless people will die! Anyone who is an enemy of the Song Dynasty will die! Since they are coming to die, we will fulfill them! In this battle, we will fight the weak first, and then deal with Tie Yaozi and Tubo personal guards!"

"This..." The generals were very surprised. Wu Ji's statement was too different. If I killed Tie Yaozi and Tubo personal guards, the overall situation would be decided. Wu Ji would not use this very easy-to-use tactic.

"There is another important reason!" Wu Ji continued to analyze in the surprise of the generals: "If we first hit the iron Harrier and the Tubo personal guards, once they are defeated, the army of the two countries will inevitably flee. These are hundreds of thousands of people. Once we escape, we will not have so many troops to chase after them even if we want to chase them."

Not to mention the escape of hundreds of thousands of people, even if the escape of more than ten thousand people, the Song army would pursue it, which would be a huge trouble.

"Don't say it's a human being. Even if it's a pig, hundreds of thousands of heads are standing there for us to catch it, it will be exhausted!" Wu Ji said: "In order to avoid this situation, we must leave Iron Harrier and Tubo's personal guards until the end to solve the problem. As long as Iron Harrier and Tubo's personal guards are there, they will not run away!"

This is true. Iron Harrier is a very elite army, as famous as the Pishi Army of the Liao Kingdom. As long as Iron Harrier is there, the backbone of the Xixia army is there. No matter how much casualties they suffer, they will not escape. Once Iron Harrier is gone, the Xixia army will be scared and it will not be possible to escape.

The Tubo personal guards are similar to this.

"It's still the great general who is good at calculating!" The generals once again saw Wu Ji's foresight and had to accept it.

"Zhong Jianzhong, you lead your army to attack the left side! Yao Youzhong, you lead your army to attack the right side! I will lead your army to restrain Tie Yaozi and Tubo personal guards!" Wu Ji began to send generals.

"Abide by the order!" Zhong Shidao and Yao Youzhong received the order loudly.

Li Zongbao, Liang Xi and Dong Zhao gathered together to discuss. Li Zongbao frowned and said, "You have seen the situation. Although we have many soldiers, our elite troops are not as good as the Song army. Our two countries have more than 600,000 troops, and the real elite troops are only more than 200,000. The rest are just able to eat. In this battle, we have not much chance of winning. How do you think we should fight?"

"I didn't expect that the Song army was so elite!" Dong Zhao couldn't help but sucked: "I guess the Song army would come straight to our elite. Your iron kites and our personal guards are all elites, wearing elite armor and using the most exquisite weapons. If you defeat them, the number of winners and defeats this battle is determined."

"Yes!" Liang Xi exaggerated this statement: "If I were Wu Ji, I would have used military force like this!"

"The problem is, we are not Wu Ji! Wu Ji's use of troops is strange and unpredictable. Will he really attack our elites as soon as he comes?" Li Zongbao couldn't help but stir up his eyebrows and asked in contemplation.

"No matter how Wu Ji will fight, we will respond to changes with the same change. We only need our two countries to work together, and there is still something to do in this battle!" Liang Xi thought for a while, but couldn't figure out how Wu Ji would fight.

"It's extreme! It's extreme!" Dong Zhao and Li Zongbao agreed loudly.

"The Song army attacked!"

As soon as the three of them finished speaking, the personal guards came to report.

"The Song army attacked?" The three of them opened their eyes wide and looked ahead. They saw that the Song army divided into three groups and launched a scattered offensive against the Xixia and Tubo coalition forces.

"No living!" Song army roared, like a tiger with a shattering momentum, rushing towards the coalition forces.

The crowds are surging, magnificent and unstoppable!

"The troops are divided into three groups, nothing surprising!" Dong Zhao raised his eyebrows, a little disappointed: "Wu Ji is just using troops, so it cannot be surprising!"

When the two armies face each other, they usually divide into three groups, left and right and central troops. This is a conventional way of fighting, and there is nothing surprising at all.

"No!" Li Zongbao and Liang Xi both vetoed Dong Zhao's conclusion: "Wu Ji is already surprising. He wants to destroy our left and right wings first, and then deal with our central army."

"Our central army is our elite. We will fight the weak first and then the strong. This is not surprising. We are in the commander's city!" Dong Zhao still didn't understand.

"Wu Ji is so cruel!" Li Zongbao and Liang Xi looked at each other without any interest in explaining to Dong Zhao. The two saw the fear in each other's eyes.

The Song army was divided into three groups, each with 50,000 people, and 50,000 people were left as reserves. Generally speaking, the central army was the most important. It was necessary to send more troops to attack the central army, while Wu Ji's central army had only 50,000 people, the same as the left and right sides. This shows that Wu Ji's target of attack was not the elite of the coalition forces, but the old and weak, with two wings.

The elites of the Xixia and Tubo coalition were concentrated in the middle lane, with old and weak on both sides of the left and right wings, and vulnerable. To defeat them, there would be no need for 50,000 people, only 30,000 or 20,000. However, Wu Ji sent out 50,000 elite troops, so it would not be as simple as defeating, it would be a massacre and kill them all!

The roar of "no living mouth" is Wu Ji's real intention.

In this battle, Wu Ji wanted to kill all the Xixia and Tubo troops participating in the war. This was Wu Ji's real intention. The two countries' coalition forces had more than 600,000 people, and they wanted to kill them all. What an appetite and hatred!

When recalling the incident of Anding the Five Cities, how could Li Zongbao and Liang Xi not be shocked?

Just as the two of them changed their minds, the left and right wings of the Song army had already started fighting with the coalition forces.

The Song army was coming like a tide. The coalition forces were all terrified when they watched the Song army rushing towards them like mountains and mountains. Before the two armies could fight, their momentum was weaker.

When the Song army arrived, they shot with crossbows from afar. The crossbows were like rain, covering the coalition forces. Whenever the rain came, countless casualties would fall and fall in pieces, as if the piles of straw were pushed down by people.

The coalition's equipment is not good. Without the elite armor, there is no way to stop the Song army's arrow rain. If you want to avoid heavy casualties, you will not be able to do so.

The Song army's offensive was too fierce, as if it was a storm, and it did not give the coalition any chance to react. In just a short while, countless casualties were killed or injured.

"This..." Li Zongbao and Liang Xi fought with the Song army for decades, but they had never seen the Song army's long-range strike so violently, so shocked that their eyes almost fell to the ground.

In the past, although the Song army had excellent equipment, it did not exert it, and it was weak in long-range strike power. After Wu Ji's innovation, the Song army exerted the power of the equipment, and the power of long-range strike power increased exponentially.

Even the elite Liao army could not bear the long-range attacks from the Song army, let alone the mobs of the coalition forces.

"Gugugugugu!" Li Bingchang watched the coalition forces falling down on the top of the city, so shocked that he couldn't even speak. His throat was gugugu, making a strange sound.

This is just the beginning, and a more violent blow is still behind.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

One after another, the explosion sounded, one after another, like thousands of thunder roaring, making the ground tremble. One after another, the fireball flashed like countless meteors, extremely spectacular. This was the power of the thunderbolt bomb.

Although the thunderbolt bombs were good, they were limited in number and could not arm all the Song army. However, Wu Ji still made a decision to send ten thunderbolt bombs to each Song army. In this way, the bombing was particularly fierce when the two armies met.

The 150,000 Song troops threw thunderbolts into the coalition formation. The scene was imagined, very spectacular, and the lethality was extremely amazing. Compared with the powerful crossbow, the thunderbolts were too much killing.

Amid the earth-shaking explosion, the coalition forces fell down like straw harvested by farmers.

The ground was filled with broken limbs and broken arms, broken internal organs, rolling and wailing wounded soldiers, and splashing blood!

Li Bingchang, Dong Wen and the others saw it clearly and were particularly frightened on the city. It felt like they saw countless demons raging among the Xixia and Tubo armies, tearing apart the bodies of the coalition forces at will.

"Kill all the Xixia dogs!"

"Kill all the Tubo dogs!"

"No living!"

The Song army burst into a shocking roar, and moved forward, rushing up like a sea of ​​tides towards the coalition forces.

The Song army was like a storm. Wherever they rushed, the coalition forces no longer existed, and there was a red spot wherever they were!

"Hiss! Hiss!"

The Xixia and Tubo ministers watching the battle on the top of the city kept making noises of sucking cold air, and they were all frightened.

"That's right, it's right, it's right, it's right, it's right!" A minister pointed at the city, his face full of fear and his words were stuttering.

"Mo Dao?"

For the Dangxiang people and the Tubo people, Modao was their nightmare. When the Tang army swept the world, there were no one knowing how many of their ancestors died under Modao.

When I first saw Mo Dao, it felt like it was not slashing on the soldiers, but slashing on them. I couldn't stop retreating, and some ministers even closed their eyes and dared not look again.
