Chapter 293 The emperor's troops are coming to the city!
Chen Zhaojun is from the south, the southernmost southerner, in the Lingnan region.
Guangnan East Road in Lingnan was a place where birds could not shit in the Song Dynasty. When officials made mistakes, the emperor would exil to Lingnan if they wanted to punish these officials heavily.
Chen Zhaojun went north from Chaozhou area in Lingnan to make a living two years ago. When he arrived at Jingji Road, he was recruited by the new army. He was not familiar with the place and signed up for a hot topic and was admitted.
Because he can endure hardships, no matter how hard it is during training, he completes the task without saying a word. He was noticed by superior officers and recommended to enter the firearm camp.
He won the third place in the assessment of the Firearms Battalion and became a capital leader.
It was one of the first batch of officers of the Great Song Dynasty Firearms Battalion. This brand new military branch is unique to the Yulin Army and the emperor attaches great importance to it.
Chen Zhaojun was also quite proud of himself. Since entering the firearm camp, he has trained harder.
His goal is to stand out among the ten of the current heads and become the first commander of the Dasong Firearms Battalion.
Even on heavy snow, he still took his brothers to practice this boring shooting training diligently.
Snowy weather affects shooting, and the winter has just begun, and there is still a long snow and wind in the northwest.
As the southernmost person, Chen Zhaojun has also proved his strength from the beginning when he was not used to it now, and then began to explore ways to hit the target in the wind and snow.
The final exercise has been completed today, and the entire Qinzhou City has been told to start running.
A large number of troops gathered outside the city.
Cavalry, infantry, archers, gunners, musketeers, etc.
They were standing in their own team in different armors and stood upright in their ranks.
The wind has stopped, but the snow has stopped.
The Song army outside Qinzhou City was endless, with flags covering the sky and swords and guns everywhere.
There were voices of Dutou (centurion) sorting out the team everywhere, one after another.
Looking down from a high altitude, the originally scattered teams below are quickly forming square formations.
The Song army was so prosperous that they all changed into the latest armor, equipped with the best horse-knitting sabers, crossbows, shields, and even the clothes inside were warm.
In the words of Zhao Huan's finance minister Zhou Chao, this time when the attack on Xia, the Song Dynasty took out all the income from the past three years and transported all the newly created weapons.
No one could bear the emperor's determination to destroy Xia.
In fact, the Imperial Marshal Zhong Shidao also said it in a course at the Imperial Academy.
The Battle of Xia, which seemed to be a war between the Song Dynasty and the Northwest Xia Kingdom, was actually a contest between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom.
Xia Guo’s purpose is obviously money!
The real culprit, Wanyan Sheng, has been watching from the side. Once the Song army falls into the war in the northwest and cannot extricate itself, the changes in the overall pattern will inevitably affect the political trend of the Jin Dynasty.
Therefore, the emperor must fight quickly with the momentum of thunder!
Long before Wu Jie defeated the right army of Xia State, Yao Pingzhong, the commander of Yongxing Army, had received an order from the emperor to send troops to conquer the left army of Xia State to prevent the left army of Xia State from raiding bypass.
Zhao Huan was wearing armor and riding a tall horse. The Taoist priest was on his left and Wang Kui'an was on his right.
There are also elite soldiers and powerful generals to protect their left and right.
Soon, the generals came.
The generals said, "Report to Your Majesty, you have prepared!"
Zhao Huan pulled out the sword from his waist and raised it. The messenger began to wave the flags, and the sound of war drums burst out instantly.
This army of 200,000 began to advance.
Their goal was to cross Jingyuan Road, arrive in Qingzhou, destroy Richard from Qingzhou, capture Huanzhou City, and eliminate all the Xia army in the Song Dynasty.
This time the emperor mobilized 600,000 troops to destroy Xia, including 450,000 front-line soldiers and as many as 150,000 logistics personnel!
In addition, the Privy Council and the Central Government are still recruiting reserve troops and preparing to reinforce at any time!
The highest strategy is to first destroy Richard by the emperor's central army, and then attack Xia at the same time from Xihe Road, Jingyuan Road, Huanqing Road, Fuyan Road, and Hedong Road.
Who can take the lead in capturing Xingqing Prefecture and who is the commander-in-chief of the Northwest War Zone!
Of course, Zhao Huan would not participate in this competition.
The news of the defeat of the right-road army reached Qingzhou City. When Richard learned that Renduo Baozhong was defeated, he was shocked at first, and then sent troops to start robbing food and population in various prefectures on Huanqing Road.
He was very clear in his heart that the longer the battle was fought, the more beneficial it would be to him.
As long as he stayed in Qingzhou City for two months, due to the pressure from the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Emperor of Song would definitely meet and give enough money.
His goal has also been achieved!
So, it only takes him two months!
One morning seven days later, when the Xia soldiers guarding the city of Qingzhou City were trembling with coldness on the top of the city, they saw a scene they had never seen before in their lifetime.
In the distance, a long black line appeared in the sky, and the long line was moving towards this side.
Soon, the black long contour line came out.
The black torrent was rolling like an endless black torrent.
Neat square array!
Neat steps!
The ground was trembling and sinking!
The white snow was splashed by the neat steps of the Song army. From a distance, it looked like a cloud, and the Song army was like a heavenly soldier rolling on the clouds.
Since this Song army entered Huanqing Road, the cavalry of the Forward Battalion had cleared all the enemy troops in the radius and opened the way for the arrival of the main force.
"Long live my emperor! Long live the Song Dynasty!"
Countless Song soldiers shouted out with all their might, their voices shook the sky and the earth, as if they were about to shatter the city ahead.
Brother Richard also climbed the city tower, and all the main forces of the Xia army were on high alert, and Qingzhou City was guarded with iron barrels.
But when he saw the Song army rolling in, Richard's heart still surging.
For some reason, he sensed a terrifying wave coming towards him, and he was like a small boat in the tide of the angry sea written in the book.
The Song army was boundless and powerful.
While they were pushing towards this side in an orderly and forcefully, they were roaring at long live my emperor! Long live the Song Dynasty!
Because of such a simple slogan, the entire army has a sense of cohesion and mission!
The blood in each Song army seemed to be boiling like magma, and it was about to melt the ice and snow.
Brother Richard was shocked by this momentum. After more than ten years of fighting, the Song army became so powerful!
When the Song army was at the city, it was endless, as if it was about to flood the entire world.
Brother Richard had already started working his second plan to threaten the emperor of the Song Dynasty with the lives of all the people in Qingzhou City and Huanzhou City, delaying time.
He immediately wrote a letter and sent a messenger out of the city.
He wanted to tell Zhao Huan that as long as you dare to attack Qingzhou City, I will massacre the city internally!
Let the people of the whole city of Gyeongju City go to hell!
Chapter completed!
