Fight instead of practice

'More than 4,200 enemies were killed, and the injured could not be counted. One thousand four hundred horses were seized, and countless swords, guns and armor were countless'. This is the preliminary statistics on the results of the Yamato Fort defense battle, but Yamato Fort suffered a lot of casualties, and they were killed in battle.

More than 200 officers and soldiers below the head were seriously injured, more than 200, including more than 60 disabled people, and had to retire from active service; more than 100 archers and civilians died and injured, but the prince's guards were not killed or injured.

However, there were more than 40 people. After the first and second battalions of the Cavalry entered the battle, they beat the dogs and achieved a record of killing more than 500 enemies.

The reinforcements from the forts that arrived later did not catch up with the battle, but just cleaned up the battlefield, stripped people of their clothes, buried dead bodies, repaired castles, and transported the wounded. After two days of rest, Dahe Fort replenished troops and supplies, and Zhao Qiong presided over the funeral of the fallen soldiers.

It was also decided to build a Zhongyong Temple in Yincheng to worship the spiritual throne of the dead martyrs, and specially arrange monks to worship and burn incense every day.

After handling the matters after the improvement, Zhao Qiong quietly returned to Yincheng with the team. He asked his staff to sort out the relevant documents and copied three copies, one to the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, one to Huang Jingchen, and another

He sent it to Tong Guan's desk, some of which were not something he could decide and had to be approved by them. In order to prevent the Xia army from retaliating, Zhao Qi decided to temporarily live in Yincheng to support Yamato Fort, and at the same time ordered the prefectures to let them strictly guard the important land to prevent

The Xia army launched an attack from other places, and the wounded were sent to Lincheng for healing. He presided over a military meeting, summarized the gains and losses of the battle, and began targeted training.

At the meeting, Zhao Qiong criticized Zhao Ren, the commander-in-chief. Although the reinforcements he sent were implemented according to the prince's plan, he did not carefully investigate and inquire about the road he had walked in advance, calculated the time in detail, and achieved the purpose of concealment.

But they made a big circle and missed the reinforcement time and took Dahebao to the dangerous land; the other one who was criticized was Gao Chong and Zhao Yong, the commanders of the two battalions who were reinforced. Their mistake was that the mechanical execution orders were carried out, knowing that the road ahead was only

He was able to allow a cavalry to pass through, but still marched as planned. Another point was that he arrived outside Yamato Fort, and did not contact Dahe Fort in advance, nor did he choose to cut off the enemy's retreat route. Instead, he launched a rash attack and ran away from the wild

Li also asked him to bring back more than 2,000 people, but he defeated him and failed to achieve the goal of completely annihilation.

Of course, Zhao Qi also criticized himself. Because he did not understand the combat methods of friendly forces, he overestimated the combat effectiveness of his troops and underestimated the tenacity of the Xia army, resulting in a mistake in the plan, causing unnecessary casualties, and almost causing the city to be destroyed and people to die.

.But everyone did not want to let him go. They made serious criticism of his "bad" behavior of visiting Yashi in person regardless of his personal safety, and did not agree to him to follow the team until the prince made a promise.

He made meritorious service and was not 'returned' back to Taiyuan.

Next, Zhao Qi decided to 'use combat instead of training' and sent the supplementary weapons to the engineers and transportation teams that were short of guns, and at the same time strengthened the training of shooting and related tactics for the new recruits so that they could master the use of the continuous bead gun as soon as possible.

The troops launched a "protecting farmland" battle, and used all useful means such as expulsion, arrest, lure and kill, encirclement and suppression against the Xixia people who invaded the Song Dynasty. They protected the border residents and prepared to start spring farmland, using the forbidden boundary as a buffer zone to control the battle in Xia.

Square side.

Then, Zhao Jia informed all prefectures, troops and counties in the name of the Hedong Road Management Staff and Pacification Department, and still recruited foreign and Han people, and sent prefecture troops and liu Pizui troops to the border areas to reclaim wasteland, settle the border, and recruit idle fields to recruit idle fields.

, people give the house

, Two stones of food for rations, archers will be exempted from those who have cultivated land for one year, those who have obtained the old cultivated land now are exempt from two years, and those who have obtained the wasteland will be exempt from three years of taxes.

The taxes paid for by the central government are included in the taxes paid. The feeling of being an official is that it is good, and the money from the public is not distressed. Zhao Xiao waved his pen and racked his brains to solve the big thing he had done.

Yincheng was originally a county seat, and Zhenghe was abolished in the fourth year. With solid city defense, it can stockpile food and grass, and can accommodate a large number of people. It can be used as a forward base. March is approaching, and Kaifeng is already in spring.

There was no spring here. The people recruited from all over the country and the escorted troops, and the state troops mobilized had arrived one after another. Zhao Qi placed them in the villages near the forts from Yincheng to Dahe Fort, although there were only less than 5,000 households.

There were more than 20,000 people in total. But he was not in a hurry. He had been in war here for many years, and his confidence still had to be restored slowly.

Last year, Zhao Jie made a statement, and earthquakes occurred in Huanqing and Jingyuan. Similarly, Xixia also suffered disasters and suffered considerable losses. Now there is Juehe City on both sides, so it is difficult for people there to survive the spring famine, so of course they will not give up.

The opportunity to invade the farming plantation gave Zhao Qi the opportunity to train troops.

Hedong is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, and has always had heavy troops, with a huge number of people of 100,000, but Zhao Xiao has few soldiers. After a year, Tong Guan planned to Xingling area and transferred two generals from Hedong Road, and the troops were inevitably strong.

It was too late, and the imperial guards stationed in the berth did not have the order of the Privy Councilor, and Zhao Qi had no right to mobilize them. The only people he could command now were his own 3,000 personal troops, some state troops and vassal archers, and other militias, but the strategy was

The appeaser's management power over local militias was limited to those who were fighting along the border. For those local soldiers who were used for urban and rural security, the archers were under the management of the Tyndian Criminal Prison Department, and he could not control them.

Zhao Qi didn't care much about this. What he needs now is a stage, a place where he can show his abilities. He knew that his foundation was still shallow. Those people in the area were respectful to him, but it was just because of his identity. They could not mess with him.

When I heard my father, I had to show my respect for myself. I still looked down on myself in my heart. I was inevitably perfunctory and even had trouble everywhere. Only by doing a few "big things" that can make people convinced can I gain a foothold in this northwest.

!

The forts along the border organized civil and bravery to set up watchtowers with the forts as strongholds, with beacons, knives in one hand and hoes in the other to cultivate. In the Yincheng, Zhao Qi only left the direct team and the baggage battalion, and the other four battalions to fight.

He deployed them along the border, stationed in four places: Dahe Fort, Wuyuan Pass, Jianning Fort, and Quyezhai. Zhao Ren was commanded and dispatched by the center. The four places were only more than fifty miles apart, and they could reach the enemy in an instant.

The enemy was united, and the enemy was separated and attacked. The tactics of combining guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare were used to maneuver the enemy and protect the military farms.

In the early morning, the military camp was awakened by the loud military horns. The troops stationed in Yincheng quickly gathered and lined up on the school grounds to perform exercises. The loud slogans, neat steps, and shining swords and guns made people excited. In the morning, each department organized field tactics and shooting training.

Even the health team and the fire army are no exception. In the afternoon, the engineer team carried out professional training in soil work such as field fortification construction; the transport team conducted counter-ambus and anti-attack drills; the machine artillery team, law enforcement team, and guards were not idle either.

Then, they all went into the training of soldiers. At night, the colonel's field was still brightly lit, with people roaring, and dragons and tigers leaping. They were still fighting and fighting for the sting. Until the lights rang out, the barracks entered a dead silence again.

The warnings were constantly being heard on the front line, four battalions were waiting for swords and guns, guns were heard on the wasteland, and the shouts of killing were shaking the sky, and the yellow dust stirred by horse hooves covered the sky, and blood soaked the Loess Plateau. The fort in Xixia was stolen.

One by one, they were pulled up and destroyed. The wheat seedlings that had just grown were trampled by horse hooves, the canals were stripped open, the melted snow water flowed unscrupulously, and thousands of hectares of fertile fields became swamps, and the new green growing on the grassland that could not be seen was swallowed by wildfires.

There was constant war on the Great Wall, and tribes had to drive cattle and sheep to migrate north.

Ye Li shrank in the camp. Although spring has arrived, his heart is still as cool as the ice that has not melted on the snow-capped mountains for thousands of years. In the battle of Yamato Fort, he lost more than 4,000 troops, and his elite personal troops were almost exhausted.

He was greatly damaged, and a large amount of arable land was destroyed and the people were expelled and plundered, which made it even worse. He sent troops several times but was beaten to his armor. Some tribes who surrendered to him in the past had already rebelled and defected to others when they saw that they had lost their power.

Because of the successive battles, the population of his relatives has dropped sharply, and the position of his clan leader is in danger!

Yeli sighed, and the letter on the table made him feel even more heartbroken. It was sent by the commander of the Zuoxiang Shenwang and Li Jifeng, the king of Yun of the Kingdom of Daxia. The envoy was still waiting under the tent. A few days ago, it was rumored everywhere.

He wanted to return to Song, and the little prince's head was his meeting ceremony, and the defeat of Yamato Fort was just an opportunity to eliminate dissidents and kill people with a knife.

"Judge Yeli, what are you thinking?" The envoy of the Divine Warrior looked at Yeli, who was haggard and walked in proudly and asked.

"Zhang Jun, the subordinate has figured it out, but the soldiers have suffered a lot in succession of battles, and it is difficult to mobilize so many soldiers for a while!" Nori stood up and bowed with a smile on his face, but his heart felt like he was so uncomfortable that he felt like he was burning.

, This Zhang Junzhi was just a captive Han man. When he saw him, he could only nod and lick his boots. Now that he has been defeated, he dares to be domineering to himself.

"Yeli Supervisor, I heard that you were going to rebel against Xia, and the commander was very angry. You should know the consequences!" Zhang Jun sat down and said casually.

"Yeli will be in charge of the army today. The subordinates are loyal to the prince. How can they do that kind of thing?" Yeli explained patiently, and said as he gave him a brocade box, "I want to invite the army to do this."

Let many defend their superiors in front of the army and clear their innocence!”

"Haha, Yeli is polite. I have also told the general that the general is in love with the State of Xia and has fought with the Song army many times. How could he betray the general because of a slight setback? So the prince sent the envoy to the army.

This journey is indeed the case now, but you still have to explain the close contacts with the Song people clearly!" Zhang Junzhi lifted the lid and glanced at it, and said with a slightly slow expression.

"This also requires an army envoy to explain to the commander. Because the last time the officials avenged the little prince, they defeated Dahebao and suffered a lot of losses. Now the fields were invaded by the Song people, and the tribe members lived in a difficult situation, so they had to sell some blue and white salt.

, exchanged some food to overcome the wasteland, and then we had to deal with the border people of the Song Dynasty!" Yeli quickly explained.

"Judge Yeli, this was found by the spy caught by the military commander. I am afraid it will inevitably cause misunderstandings?" Zhang Junjun took out something from his arms and handed it to him.
