Chapter 184 Condescending
While fighting in Xiazhou City started, Dejing Town also launched an attack. They did not act as thieves like Zhao Yong who attacked Xiazhou City. It was no different from robbers. A group of people rushed torches.
Rushed up...-/--The full text of the advertisement left a few ** bags to explode the low walls from all sides. The patrolling soldiers had not yet woken up from the shock.
The saber had cut their necks open. The sentry on the watchtower had just picked up the arrow and the hook rope had been thrown up. Several galloping horses kept rushing forward, as if an earthquake was coming again, and the sentry felt his feet shaking.
He hurriedly abandoned the bow and arrow and hugged the pillar, but it was useless. The pillar turned into his death talisman in a blink of an eye, and the entire tower collapsed and sent him to the west.
The sound of horse hooves hit the loess road in the town. The Xia soldiers in the village never dreamed that the Song army would come here. They thought that the gangsters from some tribe had drunk too much, so they went to the town in the middle of the night to challenge and lead the troops.
The commander cursed and barely greeted his subordinates with knives and walked out, ready to teach these guys who don't know how to be so magnificent and disturb people's dreams.
But the scene in front of him can't be described as shock. Teams of cavalry rushed into the village and quickly controlled the commanding heights, intersections, stables and granaries in the village, and chopped those who were hugged him along the passage in the camp.
The military soldiers with the same idea, this seemingly chaotic scene is orderly. The horses under the seats of the attackers and the swords in their hands are standard weapons. Where can people in the tribe have? It is clearly a
Well-trained army.
"Prepare to face the enemy, someone attacks the camp..." The commander of the Xia army shouted loudly. In fact, he doesn't need to shout. Everyone knows what's going on, but they just don't understand which army these guys with different military uniforms belong to.
But if someone touches the knife, it must be an enemy but not a friend. We cannot wait to die. We can pick up something without having time to take the sword and gun. Anyway, we hold something in our hands and keep it down. As for the power, we can't care about it now.
The efforts of the commander of the Xia army were soon ended by the sound of gunfire and the sour friction caused by the contact between the knife and the human body. His head was picked on the tip of the knife and displayed it to the public, intimidating those guys who were still trying to resist.
He opened his blood-covered eyes and watched his subordinates be killed or captured one by one, wondering where these attackers came from.
The three battalions of the Zhongyong Army fought against more than a thousand Xia soldiers like tigers entering a flock of sheep. No, it should be called a group of tigers to pounce on the sheep. Two thousand iron cavalry swept the camp like wind and waded through the market town. What was left behind were corpses and
Flame.(--Shuhaige Points) The dead are gone, and the living is still in a dream. Why are they still citizens of the Daxia Kingdom just now, but they become prisoners of the Song Dynasty in a blink of an eye?
People who can't think about it want to fight to the death, but soon they lost their minds... It's summer now, the day is long and the night is short, and the northwest is brighter earlier, and the day is brighter at the beginning of the Yin hour. The loyal and brave army not only occupied seven miles with a fierce battle.
Ping seized the "Guojiao Cang" and controlled the tribes of all sizes within a radius of thirty miles.
When the sun shone on top of their heads, the leaders of more than a dozen tribes of all sizes suddenly came to report to Zhongyong Army. There was a long team behind them, with thousands of people, not only old and young, but also
Camels, pack horses, and high-wheeled trucks pulled by cows. If they hadn't seen them holding the flags sent by the Zhongyong Army and not carrying weapons, Wang Heng, who was in charge of the alert, almost ordered people to shoot. He stopped them and asked them to find out.
They are all the civilians collected by Zhao Zhong from various tribes and are responsible for storing food from Xiazhou...
"Zhao Zhong, you have all these people brought by you? It's really hard for you." Zhao Zhong is as famous as his name, a famous honest and honest person in the loyal and brave army. He works diligently, like an old ox, and will not be scammers. Zhao Ren is very serious.
I know this brother, and seeing that he has attracted so many people in less than half a day, I must have done something I don’t want to do against my will.
"It's nothing difficult. I told them that we are from the Zhongyong Army of the Song Dynasty. If they ask them to help transport food, these people will follow!" Zhao Zhong said with a smile on his head.
"No, will these people listen to you so much? You shouldn't have been pressed on someone's neck with a knife!" Wang Heng, who was on the side, curled his lips and expressed his disbelief. He had been transporting food since he set off since he set out.
Everyone’s heart disease: One hundred thousand stones of grain can be piled into a small hill. It is a big project to move them to Xiazhou City in a short time. It is impossible to complete it if there are fewer people. However, it is not easy to recruit civilians in an enemy country.
It is impossible to do anything without using some thunderous means.
"Really, I told them that you all know our Zhongyong Army. You have heard of what we did in the Shenyong Army Division last year. They understood as soon as they heard it, and they were obedient!" Zhao Zhong said seriously.
"Damn, prince, we are really notorious. All the things we did last year have been passed down here!" Wang Heng grinned and said to the east with a bitter face. They have done a lot of bad things in the Divine Army Command, killing people and setting fires.
Snatch people and grab things, "Then you are not afraid of these people rebel, after all, this is their territory!"
"It's okay, I invited all the wives and children of their big and small leaders to live in the town, and they were served with delicious food and drink. Why do they rebel? If you treat them well, they will treat you well, right!
"There was no slight fluctuation on Zhao Zhong's honest face, and he said sincerely.
"Oh, then they won't rebel, but if they don't work hard, you'll kill pigs and sheep for them to have a big meal!" Wang Heng understood as soon as he heard this. Zhao Zhong is also bad enough.
Yes, he tied his wife and daughter to be hostages, and he said so well-sounding that a righteous person like Zhao Zhong could do these things, which shows that he was also led to the destruction of the prince. But he still didn't believe that this could be done.
If things are done, people will make trouble for you by ignorance. What can you do? You have to speak with a saber.
"Hehe, I haven't reported this to the governor yet, I have made a decision in private!" Zhao Zhong didn't think he was slapped after hearing this, and turned his face to Zhao Ren and said.
"What did you do?" Zhao Ren asked hurriedly. Zhao Ren always asked for instructions and reports more when he had something to do, and never did anything in a good way.
"The prince said that people have selfish intentions. Some things are like doing business. As long as there is enough temptation, even if there is a beheading business, someone will do it." Zhao Zhong may also feel that he is making a decision privately. This matter is a bit unauthorized. First,
He brought out the 'Prince Quotations', "The people of Xixia lack food, and food is their lifeblood. I used the food to trade with them!"
"What price, won't you lose money, right?" Zhao Ren also knew that although Xixia has two major grain-producing areas, Hexi and Hetao, it is far from meeting the demand. Xixia people' spring food, salted tent, and summer food, Cistanche seedlings
, Little turtle, chickens with autumn mats, yellow leaves in the ground, and in winter, sand and onion, wild leeks, frost-repellent, gray strips, artemisia anthelmintic, salty pine nuts are considered as the year', ordinary people use wild vegetables and grass seeds a year
To satisfy your hunger, you may not be able to eat a meal made with food. The temptation of grain on the Xia people is indeed extraordinary. Zhao Zhong captured their life gate.
"Tsk, you underestimate people too much. After following the prince for so many years, if you do a loss-making business, the prince will not reveal my skin when he finds out!" Zhao Zhong expressed great dissatisfaction with Zhao Ren's words, and was by the prince's side.
In the human circle, losing money and incompetence are equated with incompetence. "The prince wants us to transport at least 50,000 stones of grain as a reserve for the army during the Western Expedition. If it cannot be transported, it is right! I promised those tribes now.
The leader, for every stone of grain transported, I will return them five dou of food. Whenever 100,000 shi of grain is transported to Xiazhou, as long as we give them five thousand shi of grain as transportation, we can get ninety-five thousand shi of grain. Can this transaction be considered a compensation?
”
"I made a profit, I made a lot of money. With so much food, I even solved the feed for livestock!" Zhao Ren was overjoyed when he heard this. With this food, it was enough for them to persevere for half a year. Wang Heng nodded in his heart when he heard this.
I thought about when I didn’t have a war, I would also go to business. At that time, I would definitely bring Zhao Zhong into the gang. Such a "good person" is hard to find!
Thanks to someone as capable as Zhao Zhong, Qiliping's food was sent to Xiazhou City continuously. Stimulated by the white flour buns, the civilians burst into great abilities, and they went through a day and a night.
The scent of the cellar was moved. When the leaders were even more happy, they promised to deliver the horses and grass to the city within two days. Of course, this was not free.
Exchange for food.
This is how things are unbelievable. The news that Xiazhou City was occupied by the Song army was not spread until five days later. Although the killing or capturing of officials stationed in Xiazhou was an important reason. Another reason cannot be ignored.
It was the failure of the tribal system implemented by the Western Xia. For these nomadic tribes, national interests are always ranked behind tribal interests. In order to absorb the small profits in front of us, everyone blocked the news together. In fact, this is also a matter of the Xia government's poverty and military power.
He overestimated his abilities, regardless of his shallow family background, but he had to constantly provoke wars. Under the harsh levy of taxes, the people's lives were in a difficult situation, so he had to think of some solutions.
After successfully taking over Xiazhou City and solving the problem of eating, Zhao Ren also took over Xiazhou's iron and smelting business. Next, while resting and consolidating the city defense, Zhao Ren set up the account of General Zhao Ren in the former Xiazhou City Lord's Office in Xicheng.
Although there are palaces left over from previous dynasties, he dare not move in. That is a taboo. If he is not careful, he will be punished according to treason.
Xiazhou is vast, with Zhao Ren's troops having only more than 8,000 troops, and their forces are not rich. The purpose of seizing Xiazhou City was to control the Wuding River Road and block the enemy's reinforcements. Therefore, Zhao Ren focused his defense on the outer city, where he forced him to force him.
Facing the original edge of the northern bank of Wuding River, looking down at the main road along the river from a high place. As long as the outer corridor city is not lost, the main road is controlled by dense artillery fire. No matter which direction the enemy comes from, it will not be able to pass through Xiazhou smoothly. Therefore, Zhao Ren will be the machine gun battalion.
The four battalions of the dragon general and the lion general were arranged in the outer city; the two battalions of the east city were defended by the lion general; the two battalions of the east city were defended by the leopard general; the baggage battalion guarded the granaries and ensured the supply of materials for each battalion; the personal military battalion of the military headquarters,
The barracks and scouts are reserves and are always reinforced.
