This time, Shen Kuo was also here in the name of supervising the army. In fact, Shen Kuo was ordered to command the 100 musketeers to test the various indicators of the musketeers.
When Zhao Xu returned to the Hall of Heroes for lunch break, Shen Kuo and Qi Jiguang opened the imperial edict. The imperial edict contained a route map and a specific battle strategy. There was also a 10,000: 1 scale map.
According to Zhao Xu's deployment, the Qi family's army had to quickly detour to the back of Xixia, which had to pass through a primitive forest at the junction of Datong Prefecture and Xixia. Yue Fei's army would cooperate with Qi Jiguang to carry out a surprise attack.
Xingqing Prefecture was 500 miles away from Datong, and there were high mountains along the way. As long as the Song army worked hard, they could reach it in three days at most.
When Zhao Xu woke up, it was already afternoon. The afternoon sun was very hot, and it was already spring. The flowers in the imperial garden had begun to bloom.
There was a man-made stream in the palace, which was led from the Bian River. There were schools of small fish swimming under the stream. The fish here were not allowed to be caught, and those who violated it would be whipped fifty times.
Therefore, there were many fish here, including red carp, goldfish, and Fish Soars Shallow Bottom. Zhao Xu admired them with interest…
[Ding-dong. The battle has begun. Xu Feng and the Jiaozhi Army have engaged in close combat. The Song Army has won, while the Jiaozhi Army has been defeated. System points increased by 200.]”
[Ding-dong. Yue Fei has defeated the Liao army's left army. He has defeated 10,000 enemies and obtained 5,000 warhorses and countless supplies. System Points increased by 300.]”
The system's mini-map was instantly activated. In Xiang County, by the Li River, Xu Feng's army had defeated the Jiaozhi Army in one fell swoop and was currently in pursuit. Wherever they passed by, they would kill the Jiaozhi Army once and for all, not leaving a single captive.
Yue Fei had already achieved nine consecutive victories at the Song Liao border, beating the Liao soldiers until they were scared witless. The Liao army Marshal Yelu Dashi led his army back 50 miles, shaking the entire Liao Kingdom.
The Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji was considering transferring back the 200,000 Liao soldiers to support the Western Xia. At the same time, he was mobilizing the entire country.
Within a few days, the news of victory spread like wildfire, and the cabinet was overjoyed. Such a great victory was like a dream to Great Song.
The entire Great Song was immersed in a blissful atmosphere, especially Yue Fei's nine consecutive victories, which greatly increased the prestige of the Great Song.
Including Sima Guang, the worship towards the current emperor increased by another level.
……
The border between the Western Xia, the Great Song, and the Liao Kingdom was the grasslands. The grassland tribes here had always submitted to the Western Xia and were under the control of the Western Xia.
The Xixia Empire's presence here was very stable, but ever since the Xixia Empire's defeat, the situation had quietly changed.
The sudden rise of the Great Song caused the tribes of the Blind Bone Plains to reconsider their stand.
The savages of the grasslands had no morals to speak of. Today, they submitted to the Western Xia, and tomorrow, they submitted to the Khitans. However, the rise of the Song Dynasty made them adjust their allegiance.
There were five tribes here. When there were benefits, they would follow the Western Xia to plunder the Liao Kingdom or the Great Song. When there were no common interests, they would fight among themselves and attack each other.
After Yue Fei won nine consecutive victories, they started to quarrel. The rise of Great Song's military power made them anxious.
To them, Xixia, Liao, and Song were all people of the same race. They were just outsiders.
The five tribes were guarding the eastern side of the Western Xia. If they retreated to the depths of the grasslands, there would be a gap in the rear of the Western Xia and the flank of the Liao Kingdom.
Zhao Xu wanted Qi Jiguang to take this route. If they didn't make way, he would destroy them first.
After Yue Fei received the decree, he also sent his subordinate General Zhang Xian to lead a hundred thousand soldiers to cooperate with the Qi Family Army to threaten these Mongols.
It was under such circumstances that the five tribes on the edge of the grasslands argued and finally came to an agreement. The Great Song could not afford to offend them and decided to retreat to the grasslands.
Moreover, spring had come, and water grass had begun to grow. It was the custom of the nomadic people to live by water.
Once the masked man left, the Qi Family Army led by Qi Jiguang didn't need to go through the forest, and instead went straight to the main road.
Zhang Xian led 100,000 soldiers to directly take over here. They could defend against Liao soldiers in the north and support Qi Jiguang in the west.
Soon, Qi Jiguang led his army into the territory of Xixia. Along the way, they encountered the Xixia rear troops with weak combat strength. According to Zhao Xu's order, Qi Jiguang implemented a strategy to reduce the population of these Xixia people. As long as they were young and strong, they were not spared. Those with weapons were killed without mercy.
In an instant, the rear of Xixia was in chaos. When they were 200 miles away from the capital of Xixia, Xingqing Prefecture, they encountered the guards of the Xixia Imperial Court. This army was an elite army with 150,000 people. They were responsible for protecting the capital.
In Yongzhou, the 400,000-strong Xia Liao alliance army was fighting fiercely with Wang Shao. The brave Wang Shao was leading the Song army in a desperate battle. Yongzhou, Yongzhou, Suzhou, and Anzhou were all fighting fiercely.
Zhang Xian's 100,000 strong army swept through the surrounding area and joined the Qi Family's Army, slaughtering the guards of the Western Xia royal court like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
When the Qi Army joined the Yue Army, the Xixia Army was their opponent. In just one day, the entire army collapsed, and 150,000 people were killed by the Song Army.
The Yue Family Army, which was skilled in cavalry combat, and the Qi Family Army, which was skilled in infantry combat, had a tacit understanding. In just three days, they arrived at Xingqing Prefecture and their troops were at the city gates.
Empress Dowager Liang of the Western Xia had already sent people to inform the Western Xia army in Yongzhou to withdraw their support. This way, the pressure on Wang Shao in Yongzhou was greatly relieved, and he began to counterattack and pursue.
