Zhao Zhen sat in the marching carriage. As an emperor's carriage, the carriage was not very gorgeous and grand, but was just a little bigger than an ordinary soldier's carriage, which could barely accommodate a bed and a small table.

The only difference is the protection on the carriage. There is no shield but several thick armor. These armors are forged with the same craftsmanship of plate armor, and the latest design with diamond patterns is added. Even the powerful bed crossbow is difficult to penetrate it a hundred meters away.

The car driver is so low-key, not because Zhao Zhen wants to be approachable or because Zhao Zhen’s thriftiness is so ubiquitous. It is because such car drivers can be seen everywhere in the army and are not easily regarded as obvious targets by the enemy.

On the battlefield, the principle of shooting people first and capturing horses first and capturing thieves first and capturing kings first.

As the emperor and the emperor who was personally expeditioned, it is conceivable how important his car was on the battlefield. Once the Liao people knew that Zhao Zhen would attack the central army at all costs, even Di Qing and Yang Huaiyu could not guarantee that they would be foolproof.

Because of this, Xia Feng was worried that he had not closed his eyes for several nights. Cao Wei must give him a foolproof way. In the end, he could only use the simplest method to make Zhao Zhen's carriage extremely similar to the carriages of the imperial guards. Only this method of concealing people could make Zhao Zhen's carriage disappear into the army of 100,000.

The beautiful eaves were removed, the mighty dragon's handguard was cut off, and the arrogant golden color was painted black...

But doing so also has its drawbacks. All the soldiers of the army knew that Zhao Zhen was coming in person, but they could not see the emperor's carriage, which somewhat reduced the fighting spirit of the imperial guards. For this reason, they only used a mighty dragon flag to represent the emperor's place.

Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly. Is this different from the royal family? It's just more conspicuous! Zhao Zhen sometimes doesn't know what they are thinking. Now, it's easier for the enemy to find his place along this mighty dragon flag flying high.

Xia Shun was smart and talented, and immediately came up with the best way to raise more dragon flags in the army. In this way, the imperial guards knew that Zhao Zhen was in the army and the enemy did not know where Zhao Zhen was born.

Zhao Zhen looked through the information sent by the black man in the carriage. As expected, the Liao people were trapped in a huge net carefully woven by the Xixia people. Even Zhao Zhen had to admire Li Yuanhao's scorched earth policy. In the absence of any way, he could only sacrifice grasslands and fertile fields to check and balance the Liao people, which required a great willingness.

Strengthening the walls and clearing the fields is a clever trick to deal with large-scale combat. It is not only practical, but also able to defeat the strong with the weak and defeat the more with the few.

Zhao Zhen took a sip of tea. According to the information from the black hands, the Liao people were most likely to lose. At this time, he didn't know that the Liao people's failure was a bad weather, and he could not have imagined that a storm that didn't even rain would destroy the entire Liao people's momentum.

Zhao Zhen summarized through the information in front of him that the Liao people would be defeated. Xia Shun and Cao Wei did not believe it. In their opinion, the Liao people's cavalry was almost invincible. How could they lose to the Xixia people?

Like the Liao people, they all used to use the army of the Song Dynasty as a measure. Xixia was not an opponent of the Song Dynasty, and the Liao people defeated the Song Dynasty and attacked Xixia again with no choice!

Zhao Zhen looked at the two generals and smiled slightly, "You underestimate Xixia too much. The Liao Dynasty had elite imperial tent soldiers. How could the Xixia people not have their elite troops? As far as I know, there was a cavalry brigade called "Iron Harrier". The reason why it was named so was because the Iron Harrier rode a good horse, wore heavy armor, could not be stabbed, and used hook ropes to tie it. Even if the horse died, it would not fall. When the battle was fought, the iron cavalry first broke out, and the formation was chaotic. If the infantry was approaching, no one in the Western Regions dared to fight..."

As soon as Zhao Zhen said, Cao Wei frowned: "If Your Majesty said this, the Iron Harrier of the Xixia people is indeed powerful, but why didn't Li Yuanhao take it out early? After all, such a cavalry is not inferior to the Imperial Cavalry of the Liao people at all!"

Xia Qian smiled and said, "Has Cao Shumi forgotten Li Yuanhao's character? This person is extremely cunning and will never use such a powerful killer weapon unless he has to." As soon as he finished speaking, he was slightly surprised, and his eyes looked at Zhao Zhen also became very admirable: "What the official family means is that once Li Yuanhao uses the iron kite, it will definitely be the time for Xixia to counterattack?!"

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "That's right, given my understanding of Li Yuanhao, this person is less than eight out of ten and will not use the last trump card. Iron Harrier followed Li Yuanhao's army. After passing through the strong walls and clearing the fields, the Liao Dynasty was exhausted. At this time, he suddenly turned around and used Iron Harrier as the vanguard and light-armed Bubazi. The Liao people were exhausted, and they would definitely have miraculous effects when attacking at this time!"

Cao Wei praised in conscientiously: "Your Majesty is clear about the truth. If Li Yuanhao really is as His Majesty said, the Liao people are afraid it will be difficult, but the Liao people may not be deceived. If they see it, they will be trapped and stationed troops to wait for assistance."

Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "Station troops are waiting for assistance?! It's not that I look down on the Liao Dynasty, but with the current national and financial resources of the Liao Dynasty, how can I transport supplies thousands of miles away? Even if I can deliver them, I will go seven or eight on the road. Don't forget that the Liao Dynasty is not like my Song Dynasty, and the carriages are endless."

Cao Wei smiled embarrassedly and said, "This is the same reason. I am stupid! According to the official family, I will be defeated in this battle with the Liao people?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head slightly and said, "The most absolute thing in the world is that there is nothing absolute. If I were the Yelu Zong, I would have taken down a city with abundant food and supplies when attacking the Western Xia, and sent the Daliao reinforcements to occupy it, and erode the surroundings based on this. The army's targets will still be nailed to Li Yuanhao's troops, so that he will not have the opportunity to breathe and be exhausted from dealing with it.

Of course, this requires that when the Liao Dynasty has the ability to launch hundreds of thousands of troops, and these hundreds of thousands of troops must be well-trained, otherwise it would be just a dream."

Zhao Zhen's words reveal the essence of large-scale combat. Combining logistics support with erosion strategy, it seems that the army is advancing steadily.

The reason why the Song Dynasty's army dared to march straight into Yanyun was mainly because its mobility had been transformed by Zhao Zhen. The carriages played an important role as tools that can both fight and transport, not to mention logistics support. The compressed military rations of various flavors and nutrients are not only small in size and convenient for transportation and storage, but also have a wonderful taste and are loved by soldiers.

The most important point is that this thing does not delay the marching. The most taboo thing for the army to advance is to set up camps and cook rice. The curling smoke will become a wolf smoke to warn the enemy. After all, it is going deep into the enemy's territory. It is basically impossible to say that it is not possible without the Liao Dynasty's eyeliner.

But Zhao Zhen can say that the speed of the spies is definitely not as fast as the movement of the army. Today, the spies report to Huanshui, which crossed the Song and Liao borders. The Song army may reach the Feihu Ridge tomorrow!

After the army took the important pass of Feihu Ridge, it divided into three groups to advance northward. The route of using troops was basically the same as that of Taizong's Northern Expedition, but Zhao Zhen's army was faster, needed fewer supplies, more advanced weapons, and more comprehensive equipment.
