Chapter 1085 The envoy of the Liao Kingdom came to Xiazhou to meet the adults (first update)
Chapter 1094

Hearing Gao Shize's calm analysis, Zhe Keshi opened his mouth, but in the end he could only close his mouth dejectedly. Indeed, in the past few years, if the court hadn't invested a lot of resources in Shaanxi North Road.

The frontier soldiers on the North Shaanxi Road, even if the overall combat strength is richer and braver than other border towns, but if they lack the Yuanyou crossbow, they will hardly be damaged. The crossbow can continue to be used as a long-range weapon.

Or it is the lack of such a light weight like Yuanyou Armor, the total weight of the overall armor does not exceed 55 catties, and it will hardly affect the solid armor that the soldiers can make various agile movements.

Then under the repeated battles on the North Shaanxi Road, I am afraid that the number of soldiers will be reduced by at least [-]% to [-]%.It is precisely because of the nearly [-] sets of Yuanyoujia rationed by the court that it left [-] cavalrymen and nearly [-] Yuanyou crossbows on the North Shaanxi Road.

Even when the Yuanyou trebuchet, a terrifying weapon, was not equipped in other important fortresses in border towns, North Shaanxi Road, even a fort like Sanchakou Fort, had already been equipped with six of them.

You know, from last year to this year, the total output of Yuanyou's stone throwing machines was only [-] units, and the supply to North Shaanxi Road alone reached [-] units, and the remaining [-] units were sealed up. In the arsenal of the Great Song Dynasty, it is ready to be used when the time comes.

In addition to the Yuanyou catapults made by Wang Yang, there are 36 Yuanyou catapults in the entire Shaanxi North Road.

And they are all used in locations closest to the Liao territory. There are four in Wanjingkou Fort, six in Sanchakou Fort, six in Yanzhou, eight in Longzhou, and twelve in Youzhou.

Which of these things was not the result of the emperor's efforts to fight for the North Shaanxi Road. The [-] pieces of Yuanyoujia alone were enough to make many generals in the border towns of the Song Dynasty jump their feet.

Nowadays, the number of Yuanyoujia obtained in the Hedong Road of the Song Dynasty is less than [-], while many other border towns are as many as several thousand, and as few as more than a thousand, I am afraid that except for those officers , can be distributed to the hands of soldiers, hehe...

"This battle has demonstrated my Great Song's determination, and it has also made those Liao people see the sharpness of my Great Song's tigers, so let's just accept it." Wang Yang nodded, somewhat helplessly.

It's not that he doesn't want to fight, but from the perspective of the overall situation, the strength of the Great Song Dynasty and the Northern Liao Dynasty is similar. If a full-scale war is really triggered, then it will inevitably be a lose-lose situation.

At that time, I am afraid that the Northern Liao Dynasty may not be able to continue to suppress the various ethnic groups on the grassland and the female straights in the Liaodong land. It is not a good thing for the Song Dynasty to let them prosper.

After all, the current Song Dynasty is not yet ready to compete with Beiliao. What's more, although Xixia has been beaten into a disability by the Song Dynasty, nearly half of the land is lost.

But the problem is, Xixia still survived tenaciously after all, and that Xixia king Li Ganshun is really a character.Relying on the support of the Liao Kingdom, they began to make wanton changes in the territory of the Xixia Kingdom, with the full support of Ren Duo Zongbao and Weiming Ah Wu.

Following the example of the Song Dynasty, a group of conservatives and clan diehards were successively dealt with, which greatly weakened the authority of the leaders and patriarchs of the party and clan.He firmly controlled Xixia's army in his own hands.

Moreover, a large number of capable ministers and officials were promoted, and the repeated western and northern expeditions not only took down many tribes and city-states that had previously been disobedient, but also plundered a large number of people, and also took advantage of the trend to make peace with the west. Expanded a lot of territory to the north.

If the Great Song Dynasty and the Northern Liao Dynasty go to war in an all-out way, at that time, the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty will inevitably become the main force in the battle between the Great Song Dynasty and the Northern Liao Dynasty, and once a large number of Western Army troops are transferred to other places.

So, will this ambitious Li Ganshun who, after more than two years of training, have created an elite Xixia tiger that is so loud in the Western Regions, will just watch and do nothing?
Zong Ze, who also came with him, stroked his long beard and nodded in agreement. "Master Gao is right. Although Shaanxi North Road is becoming more and more powerful, it is only a road after all. If it is put into the overall situation, it is really..."

A group of senior officials and generals from Shaanxi North Road gathered in the mansion to discuss and summarize the current situation, in a word.

Song Dynasty had to counteract Liao's fault, but this countermeasure should not go too far, so as not to arouse the anger of Liao's incomprehensible and moody emperor Yelu Hongji.

If that guy is a Mingjun, that's all right, he will definitely think carefully about what to do, so as to benefit Daliao without compromising his own strength.

However, Yelu Hongji is that kind of person, he is an arrogant and arrogant person who thinks he is so good that he has already left the vulgar taste.

Therefore, you will not understand at all what he will do next. More importantly, this guy has been emperor for many years. In the Liao Kingdom, no one dares to take the lead, and no one can stop him from being irrational the behavior of.

"My lords, the Liao Kingdom camp has sent envoys, saying that they want to meet General Zhong..." At this time, a guard rushed to report.

"Let him come, I really want to see the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, and I don't know what kind of news he will bring, or how the emperor of Daliao will react to the current situation Seeing Shidao Zhong's gaze, Wang Yang thought for a while, stood up and said.

A quarter of an hour later, Han Shouzhuo, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom who passed through the east gate of Xiazhou and arrived at the former general manager's office in Xiazhou, looked at the soldiers of the Song army standing at the gate of the general manager's office.

However, his gaze was more focused on the silvery Yuanyou armor on those soldiers of the Song Army, especially the breastplate, which was completely composed of two complete pieces of armor at the front and back, and there was no trace of it at all. gap.

And you can also see the surface of the breastplate, and there are some small dents, which should be left during the battle.Especially before, in the big camp, I personally questioned the remnants of the defeated soldiers who escaped from Xiazhou City.

He finally understood that the reason why Daliao was always defeated in Shaanxi was not only the silver crossbows in the hands of the soldiers of the Song Army, but also the Yuanyou Armor they wore.

But he, Mr. Han, has never seen it before. From those people's mouths, I learned that the steel crossbow of the Song Army is not inferior to the god arm crossbow in range and penetration. Easily damaged like a god arm crossbow.

Especially at the beginning, when Daliao attacked Youzhou, Daliao continued to attack Nayou Prefecture for more than a month. From the very beginning, until Daliao withdrew, the density of the Song army's crossbow arrows hardly fluctuated.

You know, the god arm crossbows of the Song Army in the past, let alone a month, may start to be damaged after continuous combat for more than ten days on the battlefield, requiring repairs and replacement parts, and sometimes even needing to stand for a while. Wait for the arm to recover before using it.
