Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Yes!"

Liu Qi arrived soon, and after dark, Zhao Ning summoned officers above the general manager of soldiers and horses to discuss matters.

Zhao Ning sat in the middle, and he said: "Li Qianshun has 15 troops, including [-] cavalry."

As soon as he said this, there was a discussion in the tent.

Fifty thousand cavalry!

This is scary!

In the third battle between Song and Jin, the Kingdom of Jin attacked Song in four directions, and the total number of cavalry was only [-].

Chen Gui said: "It seems that Xixia is coming here with the most powerful soldiers."

Zhao Ning said: "No, this is not all the troops of Xixia. There are still some troops in Lingzhou of Xiping Prefecture, Xingqing Prefecture, Helan Mountain, and Heishan Weifu Army Division in the north. The total military strength of Xixia is 50. , Now we have just taken down Hengshan from Xixia, and to be precise, Hengshan has not yet been controlled by us, and only by winning tomorrow's battle can our first-stage strategy be considered a victory."

And tomorrow's battle cannot be won miserably, otherwise it will be very difficult to besiege Xingqing Mansion in the following winter.

Since it is to be wiped out in one go, the Xixia people must not be given a chance to breathe.

If you withdraw your troops and come back next year, when Jin's internal affairs are restored, who knows what will happen to Song Jinxia's battle situation!

Therefore, Zhao Ning will never let Xixia go if he seizes the opportunity that Jin Guo is powerless to intervene!

"How many artillery pieces do we have now?" Zhao Ning asked again.

Chen Gui said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Imperial Guard Brigade has 200 doors, and Li Shifu has 50 doors."

Liu Kai hurriedly said, "I have 150 gates here."

Zhao Ning glanced around and said, "Li Qianshun has at least 5000 iron harriers. I don't want to use my armored cavalry to fight him head-on. I want to use artillery to deal with the iron harriers. If you have any good ideas, you can mention them now."

Li Shifu was the first to come out, and he said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to fight the iron kite!"

"Your courage is commendable, and I am very relieved."

Liu Kai went out and said: "Your Majesty, I will line up outside the city tomorrow, leaving only 50 cannons. Li Qianshun will definitely use the main force to attack His Majesty's Imperial Guard Brigade. Your Majesty should concentrate firepower."

"Well, Liu Qing is right."

Sun Fu also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think we should go to raid Li Qianshun overnight."

"Oh?"

"Li Qianshun must not know that we will go there at night."

"Absolutely not." Liu Qi said, "If the surprise attack fails, it will have some impact on our army's psychology. There is no need to use this kind of gambling to influence yourself in the decisive battle tomorrow."

"How will it affect it? Liu Shuai is too worried." Sun Fu said.

Fan Zhixu immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, to deal with the iron kite, use the method Liu Shuai used to deal with the kidnapped horse."

"With a hook and sickle?"

"Yes."

"Yes." Zhao Ning nodded.

Chen Jizhi said: "Your Majesty, the battle situation is ever-changing. I think it depends on the situation. If Liu Shuai's 350 artillery pieces come to support, there will be a total of [-] artillery pieces. Use the artillery battalion to stare at the iron kites of the Xixia people."

"If the artillery hits two horses every ten shots, 350 cannons can hit about seventy horses at a time, and the number of horses affected will be 3. Before the iron kite rushes, each artillery fires 1000 times with full force, it will be At least [-] war horses were affected."

"That's not right!" Sun Fu stood up immediately, "Two hundred times three equals six hundred."

"Sun Guanren, as more horses are hit, the number of people affected by each hit will increase." Chen Gui said patiently.

"oh, I see."

"If a thousand war horses are affected, the impact of the iron kite will be greatly weakened."

Zhao Ning just nodded and didn't speak, because the stereotyped way is too ideal, and the actual situation of tomorrow's battle will inevitably be more complicated.

"Everyone go back and rest first."

Everyone stood up and said, "Your Excellency, leave."

"Chen Gui and Liu Qi stay here."

"Yes."

After everyone left, Zhao Ning said: "Liu Qing, tomorrow you will be in the north of the city, and will attack Li Qianshun's left side."

"Yes!"

"Chen Qing."

"The minister is here."

"You arrange all the soldiers of the engineer battalion to be dispatched at any time!"

"Yes!"

"Go down!"

"I'm waiting to retire."

Zhao Ning stared at the map until midnight before slowly falling asleep.

The battlefield is ever-changing, but one thing is certain. The terrain of Yuzhou is open and flat. Neither side can take advantage of the mountainous terrain and can only fight on the plains.

Tomorrow the cavalry will be the most dazzling on the battlefield.

Chapter 1058 The decisive battle begins! (Second more)

In the early morning of the sixth day of October, the weather was not beautiful, and light snow began to fall in Yuzhou.

The barracks of the Guards Brigade began to reorganize its soldiers and horses.

Starting from the youngest corps commander, to centurion commanders like Dutou, to commanders, Du Yuhou and army commanders, all officers took active actions.

The infantry began to put on their armor, the crossbowmen began to test the condition of the crossbow, and the archers began to draw the bowstring.

The cavalry drew out their horses.

Enough meat for breakfast today!

Many people gorge themselves.

"Officials, the army is about to be ready." Chen Gui said outside the tent.

Zhao Ning lifted the curtain of the camp tent, looked up, and there was dense light snow falling from the sky.

"Snowing."

"Yes."

Zhao Ning put on his armor, and the servants had already prepared the emperor's war horse.

It was a bloody horse from the Western Regions.

"Let's go, let's witness Xixia's destruction in Hengshan together!"

Zhao Ning got on his horse and walked forward surrounded by the guards.

The mighty army headed west of the city, and the officers began to organize formations.

After finishing the formation, continue to move forward.

I saw that the armor of the Song army was as bright as the sea, and the flags were as clear as the clouds. At a glance, there was no end in sight.

Countless footsteps and horseshoes gathered together and echoed between heaven and earth.

The Shaanxi Frontier Army wore iron armor and red clothes, and the Guards Brigade also wore iron armor and red clothes, but their headscarves were purple.

Not long after, Zhao Ning was already in the snowstorm, and saw a long black line appearing on the horizon ahead.

That was Li Qianshun's army.

Li Yu was not sure, Li Qianshun only had 13 troops, and if he was given 12, he still had [-].

But the 12 army is already a lot.

They lay flat on the plain, like an endless black torrent, slowly flowing forward.

When the two sides lined up, the scouts acted tacitly.

In the morning, Zhao Ning learned the general arrangement of Li Qianshun's troops.

Li Qianshun distributed his troops into a cone shape, and the infantry and cavalry matched each other.

This is also normal. After all, the number of cavalry is sufficient, so it is easy to fight a charge.

It is really impossible to let all the cavalry charge all at once.

What's more, there is a huge number of iron kites hidden.

Zhao Ning rode a horse, and he soon appeared in front of the Song Army's army formation.

The appearance of the emperor surprised many people.

"The western thieves have occupied the Northwest for more than 100 years, and for more than 100 years! They have repeatedly violated the frontier, slaughtered the people of the Song Dynasty, and caused countless wives to be separated! I have endured for ten years! For these ten years, every night I have been thinking about conquering Xixia!"

The sonorous and powerful voice of the emperor echoed around.

The wind and snow seemed to be more urgent, but it still couldn't cool down the emperor's blood and ambition.

Seen from a distance, Song Jun drew a long line on the horizon.

The wind and snow covered the sky in white, and under the white, on the horizon, in front of the mighty army, the emperor's red cloak fluttered in the wind, like an unquenchable fire, about to ignite the army of [-].

Zhao Ning recalled the second year when he traveled here. At that time, the Jin army retreated and Song Xia just formed an alliance.

At that time, he had already made a ten-year plan to destroy Xia.

For the past ten years, he has always felt a sense of crisis. Xi Xia and Jin Guo are like two sharp swords hanging over his head.

In order to destroy Xia, he has been preparing for ten years!

"Today, when we come here, no matter what price we pay, we must defeat the Xixia people and return my Great Song to peace!"

After finishing speaking, he drew out his sword and shouted loudly: "Long live the Song Dynasty!"

The Song soldiers in front immediately shouted: "Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

The sound spread quickly, and immediately spread to other army formations.

There was an earth-shattering cry on the plain.

Each of them chanted the same mantra, dispelling other thoughts from their bodies.

At this moment, everyone feels that they merge with everyone else.

The fear is gone.

It was as if a flame was burning inside him.

Everyone seems to have heard a voice: We are together, we are comrades-in-arms!

Zhao Guanjia rode his horse and began to speed up in front of the army formation. He wanted to let many soldiers see him.

He wants them to know that he is with them.

Li Qianshun looked across, and he heard Song Jun's loud shouts, and even his war horse was intimidated by the shouts, and became a little uneasy.

"The Zhao family still knows how to do this?" Li Qianshun looked at the front with a cold face.

"It's just a show." Ren Dejing said.

"Has Li Yu really gone to Zhao Guan's house?" Li Qianshun asked again.

"The news from the scouts yesterday is absolutely true!"

"Traitor!" Li Qianshun gritted two words between his teeth.

Immediately, he looked around and said, "Is the array ready?"

Wei Ming Anhui came and said, "Your Majesty, the formation is ready!"

"I dispatched most of the iron cavalry this time, I want to see how the Zhao family will respond!"

"Report!" The scout rushed over, "Your Majesty, this is the formation of the Song Army!"

The scouts reported a formation map.

This is the general formation of the Song army, and it is impossible for the scouts to figure it out. Li Qianshun can only see the general arrangement of the Song army.

As for what kind of troops there are, he can't know, and it's impossible for the scouts to find out.
