Brother Richard asked: "Brother Emperor, if according to the speed of the Song army marching and using the thunder-inducing weapon to break the city now that Daxia has obtained, if I lead the Iron Kitten Army to Yaode City, it will have already What should we do if we attack Yaode City?"

In fact, as King Richard of Jin with more than 20 years of experience in leading troops, he naturally has his own ideas and strategies in mind. However, he also knows that he still needs the approval of his royal brother before he can implement it. Be successful.

Li Qianshun frowned and murmured to himself:

"The Song army used the powerful weapon of attracting sky thunder to break through the Zhejianghui and Mengjing defense lines so quickly. It is reasonable for the emperor's brother to have concerns.

Alas! Pule City guarded by Fei Ting Yuan Shang is already the heart of my Daxia Kingdom! If Pule City is lost, Yaode City will have no front barrier, and it will be difficult to defend it."

Li Qianshun looked at the map and tapped the location of Yaode City several times with his finger. He was very reluctant to leave it. Finally, he bit it, looked behind Yaode City, and said:

"Behind Yaode City is Xiping Mansion, the capital of Daxia Kingdom! If Xixia Mansion falls into the hands of the Song Army again, then the hearts of my Xia Kingdom will be shaken, and the people of my capital, Xingqing Mansion, will be in panic!"

Li Qianshun gritted his teeth again and made a sound. He made up his mind and then solemnly said:

"I have given you a special token and an imperial edict. Brother Cha, the quasi-emperor, not only has the right to command the Iron Kites Army, but also has the power to command and mobilize the troops of various prefectures and ministries along the way! You must guard Xiping Prefecture in Xijing!"

With a "plop", the burly Brother Richard was so moved by the important task entrusted to him by the imperial brother. He knelt on the ground with one knee, cupped his fist towards Li Qianshun and said:

"I will live up to the great trust of the emperor. After I defeat the Song army, I will return the military power to the emperor!"

"Haha!" Li Qianshun saw Brother Richard's frank eyes and said with a smile:

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. I have always trusted you, Emperor Brother Cha!"

His eyes revealed his immense trust in Brother Richard.

You must know that the elite cavalry such as the Iron Kites Army, which Brother Richard was originally in charge of, already had great power, and now he has been granted military power over the local areas he passed along the way. This is also why Xia Emperor Li Qianshun was defeated by the Song Army. There is nothing I can do with my pussy.

He firmly believed that his brother Richard would not imitate Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, who caused the Chenqiao mutiny and wore a yellow robe.

…

After Li Qianshun got Brother Richard's plan, he thought it was feasible. Similarly, Emperor Xia Li Qianshun also handed over military power to Brother Richard.

Although Li Qianshun spent a quarter of an hour in the imperial study room having a secret conversation with King Richard of Jin during the urgent war of the Song Army's expedition to Xia, he believed that the time spent by the brothers in this secret conversation was worthwhile.

In preparing for this war against the invasion of the Song Dynasty, he has received the full support of the emperor's brother Richard, who holds the power of the elite ace Iron Kites cavalry.

Similarly, after comprehensive consideration of this secret conversation and his usual observations of Brother Richard, Li handed over more military power to his concubine King Jin King Richard, and he was also very relieved.

Li Qianshun believed that Daxia must take military action for frontal resistance under this imminent crisis. He had decided to quickly adjust his strategy and send out the King of Daxia's elite elite heavy-armored cavalry - the Iron Kites Army.

Li Qianshun also knew that the current situation was similar to that of three years ago. Facing the Song Dynasty's invasion of Xia, only by defeating the Western Army of the Song Dynasty militarily could we seek more benefits for the Xia Kingdom in terms of land and property.

Li Qianshun watched the brave and strategic emperor brother Richard walk out of the imperial study. He still felt uneasy. After all, the Song Dynasty's expedition to summer was no better than before. The northwest army of the Song Dynasty had a big weapon that could attract thunder. Killer weapon.

"Alas!" Li Qianshun sighed and muttered to himself:

"My imperial brother Cha Ge is both wise and courageous. His resourcefulness can defeat Liu Fa. He is extremely brave and can draw a two-stone strong bow and shoot through heavy armor!

However, the Song army now possesses a powerful thunder weapon that can easily blast open the thick city gates!

I hope that my brother Cha Ge can defeat the entire Song army in one battle just like he did when he defeated the famous Song general Liu Fa three years ago, and kill the enemy commander Guo Cheng and present his head in front of me. Come!"

Brother Richard trotted out of the palace, carrying the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops, the token and the imperial edict given by the emperor's brother Li Qianshun. He turned over and mounted his war horse. He galloped straight to the iron kite barracks in the capital...

After Brother Richard returned to the military camp, he immediately issued an order: The Song Army betrayed their trust and tore up the peace treaty agreement three years ago. The Song Army's sneak attack had broken through the defense lines in Jianghui and Mengjing and penetrated deep into the hinterland of our country. I, the general, have defeated our country. The emperor issued an edict to lead you and other three thousand elite iron kite troops, with the right to dispatch soldiers and civilians from various tribes along the way, to go out to meet the Song enemies who invaded Xia...

There are a total of 3,000 iron kite heavy armored cavalry, divided into ten teams, all composed of descendants of nobles and chiefs from the Dangxiang and Qiang tribes and warrior confidants.

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! They ride good horses. When fighting, everyone wears heavy armor so that the enemy cannot penetrate. In order to prevent them from falling off their horses during fighting, they

During the battle, he also used a hook to hang himself on his horse, so that he could die in battle without falling to the ground.

The iron kite army of Xixia has been passed down for decades. As early as the ninth year of Da'an in Xixia (i.e. the fifth year of Yuanfeng in the Northern Song Dynasty, 1082 AD), the kite army fought with the Song army in Yongle City. The kite army took the lead in crossing the river and charging.

Later, he advanced with a large army and defeated the Song army...

Three years ago, King Richard of Jin led the Iron Harrier Army to defeat Liu Fa, the famous general of the Song Dynasty who was advancing alone...

The Iron Kites can gallop in the plains and wilderness, and are mostly used for assaults during battles.

Now, after the three thousand Iron Kites generals heard the military orders from their commander Jin King Richard Brother, they did not feel timid at all, nor did they feel the slightest fear that the Song army could break through the Zhejianghui and Mengjing defense lines so quickly;

On the contrary, they became inexplicably excited. After receiving the military order to go out, many veterans and generals cheered and celebrated in advance: they could once again establish military merit and receive heavy rewards just like they did when they defeated Liu Fa's Song army three years ago!

After Brother Richard issued the military order, he immediately led three thousand iron kite soldiers and set off.

In fact, the actual number of horses used by the Three Thousand Iron Kites Army reached 9,000, all of which were equipped with three horses per person. During the long march, they were reluctant to let the last of the three horses per person wear off early during the long march.

Carrying heavy armor or transporting food supplies and other items.

The best steel is used on the blades, and the best war horses are used in heavy armor for charging on the battlefield against the enemy.

The 3,000 Iron Harriers led by King Richard of the Jin Dynasty of Western Xia had a total of more than 9,000 war horses. When they left the city, Xia Emperor Li Qianshun personally saw them off...

Many officials and people in Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia, also saw the grand scene of Emperor Xia personally seeing off the Iron Kites army led by King Richard of Jin as they left the city.

They were also wondering in their hearts: Could it be that there was another war on the border?! Otherwise, how could they let the Iron Harrier Army under King Richard of Jin go out to fight?

However, the vast majority of the people and officials in Heping also let go of their worries as soon as they saw Jin King Richard's iron kite army leaving the city.

Daxia's ace elite division, the Iron Kites Army, has always been invincible...

…………

After Brother Richard's three thousand iron kite troops left the imperial city, they each rode their spare war horses and whipped their horses back all the way to Xiping Mansion, Xijing, Daxia Kingdom.

Prior to this, King Richard of Jin and his brother Li Qianshun conspired and discussed in the imperial study. They both firmly wanted to defend Xiping Mansion in Xijing.

Therefore, the first destination of Jin King Richard's long-distance march was Xiping Mansion in Xijing.

Half a day later, Brother Richard's Iron Harrier Army had already marched halfway. During the journey, they each also changed their spare horses several times. They allowed the good horses except for the main battle to never be ridden during the long march.

In addition, each person's two spare war horses have been ridden several times.

Brother Richard saw that after a long march, people and horses were already exhausted, and when he encountered a small river outside the woods in the wilderness, he ordered:

"Dismount and rest for half an hour by the river here. The horse drinks by the river and eats dry food in the forest."

Brother Richard is an excellent commander. Even when he is marching in Daxia, he still retains his good habits on the battlefield. That is, when he leads the main army to march, he always sends out more than ten cavalry squads.

, conduct reconnaissance of road conditions and military conditions ahead in batches...

At this time, Brother Richard, the King of Jin, was sitting on a big rock under a tree beside the forest. He held a big white-faced naan in his right hand and brought it to his mouth. He took a big bite and took it with his left hand.

Here comes half a scoop of mare's milk.

Brother Richard was just like this, eating a mouthful of dry food - white flour naan and a mouthful of fresh and warm mare's milk to satisfy his hunger.

The hierarchy in the Iron Harrier Army was very clear. In addition to the fact that the commander, King Richard of Jin, was treated with a scoop of fresh mare's milk, the ten captains, each in charge of 300 cavalry, were given half a scoop of fresh mare's milk with each meal during the march.

You must know that the ten captains of the Iron Harrier Army are all "strong generals of the moment" in Xixia's army!

"Report!"

After Brother Richard saw the report from the scouting horse he had sent earlier, he said in Dangxiang dialect: "Speak!"

Tan Ma reported back: "My troops were twenty miles ahead and met the messenger sent by Yaode City to the capital. We learned that Yaode City had already accommodated hundreds of defeated Feiting troops who had fled from Pule City...

"

"Yeah! I know!" Brother Richard didn't show too much shock. He agreed in a low voice and said, "Go and explore again!"

Brother Richard did not show too much shock. Firstly, when he was conspiring with his brother Li Qianshun, he had already guessed that Pule City, guarded by Fei Ting Yuanshang, was likely to be captured by Guo Cheng's troops of the Song Army;

Secondly, as the head coach of the Iron Kites Army, he must also show an indifferent demeanor that does not value the gains and losses of a city or a place, in order to better stabilize the morale of the army and boost morale.

After a brief rest, Brother Richard gave the order and set off again...

An hour later, another group of scouts sent back reported a piece of military information to King Richard of Jin that shocked him:

"My troops were scouting horses near Xiping Prefecture in Xijing and heard that local herdsmen had seen a group of Han soldiers and horses of unknown origin in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of Xiping Prefecture..."

"Ah?!" Brother Richard asked in disbelief: "Is the military information you have obtained through inquiring true?"

Several detectives responded one after another:

"We are also what a few herdsmen from our Dangxiang tribe said."

"We didn't see with our own eyes the Song army that appeared in the suburbs of Xiping Mansion..."

Brother Richard asked urgently: "Have you ever asked the herdsmen who saw the Song army on the outskirts of Xixia Prefecture, how many enemy troops are lurking near Xijing?!"

Tan Mahui reported: "Several herdsmen I have met have different opinions."

"Some said they saw dozens of Song troops appearing on the outskirts of Xijing."

"Some said that they saw hundreds of Song troops roaming the outskirts of Xijing from a distance..."

Brother Richard finally felt relieved a little, and he thought to himself: "Could it be that Guo Cheng, the commander-in-chief of the Song Army who invaded Xia, sent to inspect the Song Army's horses on the outskirts of Xijing in Daxia Kingdom?!

How could even the Song Army's scouting horses penetrate deep into the outskirts of Xijing, the hinterland of our Daxia Kingdom?"

In fact, what Brother Richard expected was a misjudgment.
