Now it is the time when everything in the open field north of Wuding River is revived. From a distance, you can see tender green colors everywhere from the frozen land. Although the temperature is still cold, the march is still smooth. To the north of Wuding River and on the flat land south of the Hanhai Desert, a long marching dragon is rolling forward, infantry, cavalry, auxiliary soldiers transporting supplies, mules, horses and carts carrying grain and various equipment, heading west.

Wu Haogu, Gao Qiu and Tong Guan were surrounded by a brigade of knights. They were walking between this huge army, without helmets and armor, but wearing comfortable and warm furs, talking leisurely while walking, without any tension in the battle on the battlefield.

What made them feel at ease was naturally the 1,000-armor cavalry of the Imperial Horse. They were probably the second most powerful cavalry in this era, second only to the "Gunda" of the Tiger Water Wanyan tribe. In the northwest, they were not worried about encountering any powerful enemy that they could not deal with.

In addition to these 1,000 armored cavalry, Wu Haogu also transferred 7,500 warriors from the Dragon Mengshizhi and 2,500 warriors from the Dragon Neiweizhi (all of which are Fangslaves) to form a strengthened Dragon King King King King King King. In this way, only 5,000 spearmen from the Dragon Neiweizhi and 5,000 auxiliary soldiers were left in Yinzhou and Mida Cave. However, the follow-up troops of the Hedong Army led by Gao Qiu will be temporarily staying in the Amitabha Cave, waiting for Gao Qiu to lead the cavalry to sweep the Hejian grassland, then go north to meet Gao Qiu, and build Shuozhou City.

In addition, the 5,500 cavalry brought by Gao Qiu from Hedong were also accompanied by Wu Haogu's army, of which 1,100 armored cavalry were also quite good at fighting.

In other words, among the army of less than 25,000 people (except for combat soldiers and cavalry auxiliary soldiers, as well as pedestrian auxiliary soldiers and engineer commands, there are more than 6,000 people in the baggage command), there are 18,500 elite troops with strong combat power.

Moreover, the 1,000 of the armored cavalry in front of the hall were still protected by the army, and the Dangxiang people could not grasp the virtual reality of the army led by Gao Qiu and Tong Guan, composed of more than 20,000 infantry and cavalry.

Because the Dangxiang people's reconnaissance cavalry could not get close to observe, they could only look at the smoke and dust raised when the army was marching from a distance to judge the number of the Song army.

However, it is useless to just judge the number, because the combat effectiveness of the various units of the Song army was far inferior. The "weak soldiers" of the imperial guards (just compared to the Western Army) that drove eastward were not comparable to elite troops like the three Zhishang of the imperial army.

If it were the former, it would definitely be able to crush the 1500 iron kites and 8500 garrison troops in Cha Ge's hands.

But if you meet the elite troops in front of the Song army commanded by the invincible Taiwei Gao...

Standing on a tall tower on the west bank of the Heishui River, Xiao Heda opened his palm and put it on his eyes, looking into the distance with his eyes. On the horizon was a layer of mist-like smoke and dust, which was wide and flat, flat and dispersed. On the left and right of this large flat mist-like smoke, there were several small sharp and towering pieces of smoke and dust.

"There are at least 20,000 troops, and the infantry and cavalry are mixed." Xiao Heda paused for a while, "There are still several alert teams of cyclists nearby... there are about hundreds of cyclists."

Wei Mingcha Ge, who was also standing on the Wanglou, smiled bitterly and said, "It's just one of them! In addition, the two armies coming from Shilijing and Niuxinting across Hengshan Mountain, almost 100,000 people have all come to Tongwancheng.

The situation on the western front was not good, and Lingzhou River was cut by Keshi. Although the territory was not lost, people's hearts were fluctuating! Many tribes abandoned their homes and hid in Lingzhou City. The farming season this spring will definitely be delayed. Moreover, Wuzhang was also worried that the Eastern Dynasties army would attack Lingzhou from Jingyuan Road, and now 10,000 garrison troops have been transferred to defend Lingzhou and Weizhou! In this way, our troops on hand will be even more tight.

The Hexi Youxiang Army was even more troublesome. The newly built Hexi Army in the East was moving before the Yellow River freezes. After crossing the Yellow River, they besieged Shuibo City and built Zhucheng. They also sent elite soldiers to walk into Karochuan to break into Renshou Mountain City. Fortunately, the food stored there had been moved away, otherwise we would have lost all the money..."

It turned out that the Song Dynasty's attack on Xixia was launched in full swing with Lu Huiqing sending Zhe Keshi to attack Lingzhouchuan!

Not only did Tao Jiefu on the eastern front fail to wait for the Hedong Army led by Gao Qiu to expire, but he started the attack in advance. Zhong Fu from Hexi also immediately started and sent Zhong Shiji and Gao Yongnian to divide his troops to attack Gaizhucheng and Shuibocheng. Liu Fa led the elite troops to break into Karochuan through the path provided by Zhao Baozhong, and captured Renshou Mountain City in one fell swoop.

"King, Song Gou has always been a big start and a bad start in war. As long as we can withstand a while, we can always get rid of danger."

With Brother Cha and Xiao Heda, the new Left-Celebrity Warrior Commander Wu Yiboma was not as pessimistic as the other two. He said in a calm and calm voice: "Looking at it, Song Gou's three-way army is not difficult to break. If they join forces and come along the Wuding River, we may have no choice but to take over the strong city of Xiazhou. But they are divided into three groups, and we can defeat them one by one."

"Break each one?" Cha Ge snorted, "I have been making this idea all the time, but although Song Gou divided his troops, it was difficult to break it. The ones coming along the Wuding River were obviously elite. The reconnaissance cavalry and hard probes sent by your left wing brave army could not get close to them at all. I couldn't even find out the virtual and the real, so how could I break it?

As for the two armies coming from across Hengshan Mountain, although they were not so powerful, they were not far away and were very cautious in marching. They approached Longzhou (a prefecture and county established by Xixia) step by step. They would meet at the city of Longzhou in at most two days, and then there would be a large group of nearly 60,000 people!"

Wang En, the old military strategist, also used veteran generals, and of course there would be no obvious flaws in the plan. The three divisions of troops seemed to be easily defeated by the Western thieves, but in fact there was no such possibility.

Wuhaogu, who advanced along the Wuding River, had 2,100 armored cavalry and 5,000 house slaves and warriors. Unless the Western Xia gathered all the iron kites and garrison troops, they would not be able to be beaten at all.

However, when Zhe Keshi raided Lingzhou Chuan and Zhong Fu launched the Hexi army to attack Karochuan and Qin Wangchuan, how could Xixia place all the elite main forces along the Wuding River?

The troops of Fuyan and Huanqing were even more ill. The Hengshan Fan tribe suffered heavy losses because they followed Chage invaded Yan'an Prefecture in the twelfth month of last year. They were then cleaned up by Wang En and Guo Cheng. All the tribes who sent troops to follow Chage were labeled as treason. In order to protect the tribe from being slaughtered, they replaced the chiefs and sent Ding Zhuang from the tribe to go on an expedition with the Song army to act as cannon fodder.

Therefore, in the Fuyan and Huanqing armies, each of which had 3,000 light armed Bubazi.

Under such circumstances, how could the Hengshan Fan tribes dare to work for the Western thieves? Without the cooperation of the Hengshan Fan tribe, how could Chage dare to fight the Song army in the Hengshan area with thousands of ravines?

Moreover, the number of Song troops in these two routes was also solved by 30,000 (including the accompanying Hengshan Fan), and Huanqing and Fuyan's elite troops were not sure that they would defeat them in a short period of time.

If the war falls into a stalemate, Chage's army may be trapped in the pincer attack of nearly 60,000 Song troops from two groups.

"King," Xiao Heda interrupted at this time, "It seems that Song Gou may not have the patience to unite a hundred thousand troops to attack Tong Wan, because Song Gou has always had the problem of being too ambitious when fighting. He obviously only has the strength of Wudinghe, but he wants to think about Lingzhou and Xingzhou. This time, he will not be an exception!

Therefore, they are very likely to besiege Tongwan with one force, and then divide their troops to capture Youzhou, Hongzhou, Wuguyan City, Sanchakou City, Zuocunze, Wanjingkou, Liuboling, Wangting Town and other fortresses and desert oasis in order to open up the passage to Xingling westward.

This is the opportunity for us to use armored cavalry to destroy the Song army in one fell swoop!”

The key to moving westward along the Wuding River is to seize the oasis in the Gobi Desert. Otherwise, once the water source in the oasis is polluted, it will not transport grain from thousands of miles, but transport water from thousands of miles.

Of course, polluting water sources is also a double-edged sword. Once the oasis water sources in the desert of the vast sea are polluted, Xixia will forever lose the states and Hengshan on the banks of the Wuding River. Even Yanzhou, located in the Gobi desert, will be seized by the Song Dynasty.

The Hetao Grassland located north of the Hanhai Desert will also lose the support of the Hanhai Oasis and the power to resist the invasion of the Song cavalry. The Liao Kingdom will also take advantage of the opportunity to cut a fierce knife on the Hetao Grassland controlled by Xixia.

Xixia, which has lost Hengshan, Wuding River, Hetao grassland and the oasis of the sea, will no longer be able to establish a country in a cramped place of spiritual development.

Moving westward will inevitably be inevitable!

"Can Tongwancheng be defended?" Brother Cha turned around, put his hands on his forehead, and looked at the tall and majestic Tongwancheng in the distance with worry.

Although Tongwan was a strong city, it was a city in the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it had a history of nearly 700 years! Although it was built with severe punishments, it became a famous strong city in the world. However, it was destroyed by Emperor Taizong of Song in the early years of the Song Dynasty. The outer city no longer existed, and the trenches were filled. The original terrain that was originally close to Heishui in the east and Wuding in the south did not exist.

"It's not a problem to guard for a few months," Wu Yiboma seemed full of confidence. "The last general has 10,000 good men under his command, and he is equipped with bows and arrows. There are still 50,000 old, young, young, and children in the city who can go up to the city. There are no trees around Tongwan, so it's not easy for Song Gou to build a ladder. Unless they can put wings and fly to the city, then Tongwan City will be as hard as iron before the food and water dry!"

"Okay!" Brother Cha nodded, "I just want you to say this! I will leave Tongwan City tonight! Boma, Tongwan will be handed over to you!

No matter what, I have to keep it for three months!"

"Don't talk about March, you can keep it even six months!"
Chapter completed!
