Chapter 758 Does the Song Kingdom have many such weapons? (Second more)

Chapter 767

But fortunately, in addition to the army of the Liao Kingdom, the Xixia people also took out their last family fortune.At that time, the Xingqing Mansion will attack the land of Yanzhou when the Liao army is attacking Youzhou, and it will be difficult to restrain the Song army from head to toe.

In addition, the Xixia army in the Yinxia area will also attack Hongzhou's flanks. As long as you can break through Youzhou, the Liao army will have a solid foothold in the south of the sand sea in Hetao, and will also open up the two sides of Xixia. side connection.

Afterwards, no matter whether it is attacking to the southeast or advancing to the southwest, the use of troops will be much more calm.Yelu and Luwo were in the big tent, thinking about the strategy of using troops, and some soldiers reported to the account. Po Chao Xinde, the deputy envoy of the Xixia Privy Council, had arrived at the barracks, and a batch of supplies arrived with him. There is also some information collected by Xixia about the land of the three states.

"Please hurry up." Yelu and Luwo stroked their bushy beards and were studying the strategy when the information was sent over there. It was really timely.

"My servant pays homage to His Royal Highness the Prince." After Pochao Xinde entered the account, he bowed to the ground very respectfully, and saluted Yelu and Luwo.

"No need to be like this, please hurry up, I heard that you not only brought a batch of supplies, but also brought information about the land of the three states?" Yelu and Luwo waved their hands and walked up to Pochao Xinde and asked pleasantly .

"Exactly, here is the information collected and sorted out by my Great Xia over the past few days. Please read it, Your Highness." Pochao Xinde nodded, took a wooden box from the officer behind him and handed it to Yelv and Luwo.

"Come here, serve tea, these things are really timely, you rest first, and wait for Gu to have a look first." Yelu and Luwo signaled the soldiers to bring tea and cakes, and went back to the handsome case and opened the box to check.

The information transmitted by Xixia shows that the Song people have been working hard to repair and strengthen Youzhou and the fortresses in these three states.And in order to prevent the land of the three states from being raided by the enemy, the people of the original Xia state caused chaos in the city, so all the people of the Xia state party and people of various ethnic groups in the land of the three states were expelled from the city, and they were allowed to live scattered outside the city, or It's looking for a way out.

However, these three prefectures were originally sparsely populated, so there were not many fortresses, and it was difficult to form an effective defense chain. The three prefecture cities of Youzhou, Hongzhou, and Yanzhou were the main defensive areas.

"Song's garrison in these three prefectures is only [-]?" After carefully checking Yue Zhuxiang's skills, Yelu and Luwo put aside the solid information, rubbed their brows, and moved towards quite Chao Xinde asked.

"Exactly, these 5 horses are the Shaanxi Roadside Army of the Song Dynasty, wearing solid armor, and their combat power is quite strong. Among the 5 horses, there are [-] infantry, and there are nearly [-] soldiers. cavalry." Pochao Xinde replied with a nod.

"Song Kingdom actually has cavalry? This is really the first time Xiao knows about it." At this time, Xiao Shen, who also received the news, also entered the tent, and couldn't help laughing after hearing the super-faithful words.

This sentence made the face of the super-faithful face darken by three points, and the several subordinate officials who stayed in the tent with him all showed expressions of anger.It's just that they all saw the rich and purple color of the minister of the Liao Kingdom, so it's not easy to get angry.

"Xiao Jianjun, the Song Kingdom has always had cavalry. Although the number is quite small, they are still very powerful. What's more, the land of the three states is the new territory of the Song Dynasty, and it will inevitably defend with heavy troops. It is not surprising that more than ten thousand cavalry are elite here."

"It turned out to be Xiao Jianjun. The deputy envoy of Xia Guo's Privy Council has met Xiao Jianjun." Po Chao Xinde did not expect that the commander-in-chief of the Liao army would open his mouth to resolve his embarrassment, and he greeted gratefully. After watching Yelu and Luwo slightly nod their heads, they turned around and saluted Xiao Shen who was walking into the tent.

"You don't need to be too polite. I, the emperor of Daliao, sympathize with what happened to you Xixia, and I am also very dissatisfied with the rude behavior of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, I specially appointed His Royal Highness Prince Yelu as the commander to lead an army of 30 to the south Come on, to uphold justice for you." Xiao Shen waved his hand casually, found a chair and sat down, then said arrogantly towards Po Chao Xin De.

Quite super faith can become an envoy to deal with these Liao people. Naturally, his brains are not bad, and his skin is of course thick enough. Even if he heard the disdain in Xiao Shen's tone, although he was angry in his heart, he smiled on the surface , with a respectful and humble tone.

"Song State has only [-] soldiers and horses, and they still need to garrison in the three states. They are brave enough, and they really don't take me seriously." Xiao Shen caressed the neatly groomed black hair. Xu snorted coldly.

"Xiao Jianjun, in addition to the [-] frontier troops, there are also [-] Xiang troops who have migrated to these three states. Although the Xiang troops of Song State have little combat effectiveness, they should still act cautiously." Po Chao Xinde only said Noh smiled bravely.

No, it's good not to say this sentence, but after saying it, it aroused Xiao Shen's displeasure, and he said sarcastically. "Song's Xiang army? Haha, for those Xiang troops who gather together refugees and disaster victims so that they can make ends meet without even armor and armor, you actually want Daliao and Hu Ben to act cautiously?"

"Supervisor Xiao, this is over. Although Song's Xiang army has no combat power and lacks armor and equipment, if they defend the city, it will still cause some trouble for our army to attack the city. This time, our Daliao Huben followed His Majesty's edict to go south in a big way, in order to take the land of the three states in one fell swoop, warn the Song State, and shock the world."

Seeing Xiao Shen curl his lips, Yelu and Luwo finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't continue to speak nonsense, and their eyes once again fell on the super-faithful body. "Before, Mr. Xiao, who is now on an envoy to the country of Er, once spoke to His Majesty about the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. Now the armor is quite sharp, and there are some new-style weapons, which are used to attack cities and destroy villages, such as urging chicken tiles. Dog, can this matter?"

"It is true that the Song people seem to have developed a weapon that is similar to the bed crossbow. Although it is not as far away as the bed crossbow, it can carry hundreds of catties and throw it to destroy cities and villages. Very sharp."

Po Chao Xinde naturally knows that if he does not tell the truth at this time, once the Liao army suffers losses because of these, it will be Xixia who will be unlucky at that time, so he naturally knows everything and speaks endlessly.

"The distance can be as close as a hundred feet... This distance, even if it is not as good as the eight-ox crossbow of the Song Dynasty, it is not much inferior." Even Xiao Shen, who has always thought highly of himself, couldn't help but sit up straight at this moment. body.

"Does Song have many weapons like this?"

Po Chao Xinde shook his head. "Currently, what we have observed is only three. I don't know if there was such an ordnance at the border between the Song Dynasty and the Daliao Dynasty. If there is no such weapon, it must have just been developed and has not yet become popular."
