Chapter 658 When did our Great Song army become so powerful? (first update)
Chapter 667

Let those Xixia defenders feel the shocking sound all the time, so that those Xixia people can't rest well at all. After that, they fiddled with this kind of year that he shamelessly took His Majesty the Emperor again. The trebuchet named after the name.

And this kind of shooting range is extremely far, and the ammunition used is actually a huge boulder weighing more than [-] catties. Even if Han Zhongyan didn't see it with his own eyes, he can imagine that the stones that are almost half the size of a door are thrown from mid-air When it falls down, it will bring much shock and panic to people.

After reading the military newspaper and taking off his glasses, Han Zhongyan was full of relief and anticipation.

"The old man is really curious. In less than half a year, my Song Dynasty's disadvantage against Xixia has suddenly been reversed. If Wang Wushan is allowed to stay on the border of Shaanxi Road for a year or so If Xixia is put down, it seems that I won't be too surprised..."

"Sir, are you joking? Although Mr. Wang can be regarded as a rare talent in my Song Dynasty, but in the past six months, Da Song's consecutive victories are not all due to his Wang Wushan. "The confidant next to him couldn't help looking at his master in surprise.

"Although it's not all due to him, but, have you noticed that behind every victory, you can find the shadow of Wang Wushan, which seems to be everywhere."

"Before, when Huanzhou City was besieged by nearly 20 Xixia troops, if it weren't for a large number of Yuanyou crossbows with excellent durability and the kind that only took one night, the cracks in the city wall could be repaired and as strong as before. Panshi Yuanyou Cement, do you think Zhang Li can defend it so easily?"

"If he, Wang Wushan, hadn't tried his best to persuade Zhe Keshi in Hongdezhai, the battle of Hongdezhai would not have happened. If he hadn't volunteered to build a defense line in the inner gorge of Maling, it would have been very likely. It made the victory of the battle of Hongdezhai greatly inferior."

"The reason for the battle of the Jianing Army Division this time was not because this guy proposed a whimsical plan to persuade Liang Yibu to surrender, and then let Mi Qin Shunde know the news on purpose."

"As a result, the lord of the Western Xia Dynasty sent a large army to the south, which instead gave me a good opportunity to capture Yanzhou in the Song Dynasty. In the end, Liang Yibu led a hundred thousand soldiers to return to the Song Dynasty, and sacrificed Youzhou and Hongzhou, which made my Song Dynasty win Restoration of old soil..."

"In all these things, there is a shadow of this boy mixed in. Could it be me, or even Xueshi Su? I'm afraid I have to admit that without this boy, how could we have been so devastated when we came north to fight Xixia? A big win.”

"After listening to what you said, Master, it seems that it is really the case." The confidant said with a tongue-tied tongue. "Before, I thought that Mr. Wang was just a little clever, but now it seems that he was seeing people through the cracks in the door."

"Don't bully the young man, the ancients never deceived me." Han Zhongyan said with emotion, stroking his long beard.

On the day when the battle in Wuyan Ancient City ended, the destroyed Yuanyou Catapult was ordered to be burned by Wang Yang.The other three Yuanyou catapults were closely guarded by a battalion of elite soldiers assigned by Zhe Keshi, and after being loaded into vehicles, they were transported directly to Hongzhou.

As for the ruined camp of Wuyan Ancient City, there were [-] soldiers left to guard it.As for the more than [-] prisoners of war with injured legs, they were also detained, limping and supported by their comrades, and headed towards Hongzhou.

Three days later, the news that Wuyan Ancient City killed [-] enemies, captured more than [-] enemies, and captured more than [-] horses shocked Bianliang, Tokyo again.

Zhao Xu looked at the victory report in his hand again and again, and seemed to lack self-confidence. What the hell, when did Song's army become so powerful?

Thinking about when my father was alive, being able to fight with Xi Xia, killing more than a thousand enemies was a big victory, and winning a few small camps was the achievement of expanding the land.

But when it comes to our own country, it seems that a battle cannot be called a victory if we do not kill three to five thousand enemies. It cannot be called a great victory if we do not capture more than ten thousand prisoners of war. It seems that we are embarrassed if we do not expand the territory by three to five hundred miles. It's like meeting someone.

"It seems that Your Majesty is very happy, but why are you still sighing?" Empress Meng, who was beside her, had already noticed the strangeness of the emperor, and finally asked at this time.

"Zi Tong, you don't know that in the past when our Great Song Dynasty fought against the enemy country, those who killed more than a thousand enemies would win a big victory. If we can capture a few camps from Xixia, it can be regarded as the achievement of expanding the land. Now, less than half a year , The Shaanxi frontier army has already expanded more than [-] li, and won the land of the three states, killed thousands of enemies in each battle, captured more than [-] enemies, and obtained countless horses, cattle and sheep..."

"How should I describe such achievements? How should I reward them? We can't let those heroes suffer. These are my biggest headaches." After Zhao Xu said a lot, he sighed helplessly.

Sometimes the level of happiness even makes you feel helpless, which is probably something your father never felt when he was alive, right?Zhao Xu couldn't help but think happily.

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. It is the civil and military ministers of the dynasty who should have a headache." Meng couldn't help but said with a gentle smile.She could also see that His Majesty was having a headache. He was clearly unwilling to walk at night in brocade clothes and wanted to show off more to her.

"That being said, I am the emperor of the Song Dynasty after all, and those ministers, let them do this job, I am afraid that they will wrong the heroes."

"Your Majesty is worried about wronging Mr. Wu Shan." Meng's bright eyes rolled, and she blinked cunningly, saying what she said.

"As expected of being my pillow person, Zi Tong is the one who knows me." Zhao Xu laughed and nodded repeatedly.

"Staying by His Majesty's side these days, my concubine knows a thing or two about Mr. Wu Shan's achievements. If there is no Mr. Wu Shan, there would be no great victory in Hongde Village. If there is no Mr. Wu Shan, few people would be able to think of persuading a country to surrender. Prime Minister Quan, if Mr. Wu Shan hadn't developed this Yuanyou stone-throwing machine before the battle, I am afraid that the battle in the ancient city of Wuyan would not have won such a hearty victory..."

"Zitong is right, but there are still a lot of credits you didn't mention. No matter Yuanyou Cement, Yuanyou Crossbow, Yuanyou Jia, all of them have made contributions in this series of wars. And these are all due to Wang Wushan's hand."

"It's a pity that most of the civil and military people in this dynasty are self-seeking people, and Wang Wushan is extremely talented, and he made meritorious service at a young age. I'm afraid these people must be secretly jealous..."

"So, Your Majesty, you are worried that the ministers in the court will deliberately suppress it..." Meng naturally understood her husband's meaning in seconds.

"That's right." Zhao Xu stroked his brows, rather embarrassed.

"The Imperial Grandmother shed her heart and blood for my country and the country of the Song Dynasty. Now, the Imperial Grandmother has just withdrawn from the curtain and no longer listens to politics. If at this time, I will have constant conflicts with the ministers. Although I am not afraid, after all, I will not I hope the imperial grandmother is worried."
