In modern times, Tiandu Mountain's reputation is very average, but in ancient times, especially during the Song and Xia Dynasties, Tiandu Mountain's reputation was not that great!
This mountain has an inseparable relationship with the Xixia Dynasty! In the early years, this mountain was almost equivalent to the military command center of Xixia!
At that time, the father of Li Yuanhao, the founding leader of Xixia, sent troops from here to rob the niches of the horses that Tibet paid tribute to the Song Dynasty and accumulate capital! After Li Yuanhao established Xixia, because Xixia had a large territory and many soldiers, he divided the Xixia army into left and right wings.
Zuo Xiang’s station is in Tiandu Mountain! The wild area behind
Li Yuqi led 50,000 troops to garrison here and was known as the King of Tiandu! Later, Li Yuanhao gathered more than 100,000 troops here to attack Weizhou and defeated the Song army at Haoshuichuan, shocking the world! Afterwards, Li Yuanhao ordered dozens of troops in Tiandu Mountain
Ten thousand, they divided the left and right groups to attack Zhenrongzhou together, and defeated the Western Army in the area of ​​Dingchuan Village!
It can be said that Tiandu Mountain is the most important stronghold of Xixia on the border between Song and Xia! On weekdays, Xixia can't afford troops, but once troops are used, they will gather at Tiandu Mountain first!
"What on earth are you going to do? Tiandu Mountain is located in Xixia, and it is the most dangerous place! It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. You only have 5,000 soldiers and horses, and there is no way you can defeat Tiandu Mountain!" Zhe Yanzhi said angrily.
"Don't worry, according to the latest information we got, most of the defenders in Tiandu Mountain have gone to the border! There are only more than 1,000 people stationed there now!" Liu Guangshi said nonchalantly while lying on the ground.
"Even if there are only 1,000 people, it is impossible for you 5,000 soldiers and horses to capture Tiandu Mountain! You must know that Tiandu Mountain is called a mountain, but it is actually a city! The city walls there are extremely strong! If you want to conquer Tiandu Mountain, it will take tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Impossible! Besides, you are all cavalry, and there has been no reason to use cavalry to attack a city since ancient times!" Orihiko said coldly as he turned over and sat up.
"Who said cavalry can't attack a city?" Liu Guangshi said.
"How can the cavalry attack the city? You cavalry are only good at fighting on horseback, not on foot at all! Moreover, you have no siege weapons at all, how can you attack the city? Also, what is the benefit of conquering Tiandu Mountain? My father has told me before
The news is that the Xixia guard Li Lingde has gone to the front line, and many soldiers on the front line have seen him!" Zheyan questioned.
"He went to the front line, but Xixia's military rations are still in Tiandu Mountain! The military rations accumulated by Xixia over the past decades are there. When Xixia's 200,000-strong army arrives, they will have to rely on those military rations to survive! So we must attack this place and burn everything
Army rations!" Liu Guangshi laughed.
Now he finally revealed his purpose! Zheyan was dumbfounded when he heard this, but he still felt that Liu Guangshi was crazy! He wanted to argue again, but Liu Guangshi had already closed his eyes. No matter what he said, Liu Guangshi was still stunned.
Guangshi ignores it!
"You...you..." Zhe Yanzhi was so angry that his teeth itched.
If he had known that Liu Guangshi was so crazy, he would never have followed him!
Besides, what would happen even if the military rations of Xixia were burned? The Xixia people would definitely be completely angered by that time, and their troops would never be able to escape Xixia again!
He had so many worries in his heart that he couldn't fall asleep! Beside him, Liu Guangshi was already fast asleep! Not only Liu Guangshi, but also the other soldiers beside him were fast asleep, and no one was worried!
"What kind of fucking army is this? Damn it!" Orihiko cursed viciously.
******
While the 5,000 of them were resting, Wang De had already led the remaining 5,000 people towards the east!
Wherever Wang De passed, almost all the villages were burned down! There was no mercy in his eyes, only cruelty!
Occasionally, party members in those villages would rush out to fight them, but Wang De ignored these people at all. He usually just shot an arrow and then immediately led his men to continue eastward, continuing to burn the village!
"We have traveled more than 50 miles! More than a dozen villages have been burned! Let's go, keep going east, and burn all the places we pass by!" Wang De said fiercely while riding on his horse.
"General! I think if you just burn the village, the movement won't be big enough. There are many hills over there. Let's burn those hills too!" said a company commander next to Wang De.
"What a great idea! Haha, burn the mountain! Let's go burn the mountain right now!" Wang De laughed.
At that moment, Wang De divided the army into several parts. Some were burning villages, some were burning distant mountains, others continued on their way, and others were exploring the surrounding situation to see if the Xixia army had been lured.
come over!
By midnight, the entire east for dozens of miles was ablaze, and the sky seemed to have turned black!
It turned out that the Xixia people were chasing them! However, the quality of the Xixia soldiers was extremely average. At night, these soldiers were clamoring for a rest! They had already slept for half the night. When someone saw the red light in the distance, they hurriedly sent the rest
The soldiers woke up! The party members who came with them were also awakened, and everyone looked in that direction in horror!
"No! That's our tribe's village! Hurry, go to the rescue!" a Xixia general shouted loudly.
"Our relatives are all there! Let's go quickly!" a member of the Party shouted and was already heading that way!
For a time, the Xixia army and the people were in chaos, and countless people mounted their horses and headed east!
Wang De's army did not stop overnight. They continued to move eastward, burning villages, mountain peaks, and woods... The entire east completely turned into a sea of ​​fire...
In the morning of the next day, Wang De's army continued to move east! At this time, the Xixia army following them had a much smaller number of people! Because of these armies, many people had to put out the fire! After the fire was extinguished,
These talents continue to pursue eastward!
Wang De's soldiers were very tired, but their eyes were shining, and their spirits were still very good! Their morale was still extremely high!
"Tonight we will go north! In a few days, we will also go west and join the army commander!" Wang De said with a smile.
At noon that day, they finally found a remote place where they could stop and rest! After they rested all afternoon, their pursuers appeared in the evening and they began to head north!
******
Liu Guangshi's army was marching northwest. This time, their marching speed was much faster because they were walking in the mountains! Along the way, they could not see a single pedestrian at all, and could only hear the cries of wild beasts in the mountains and forests.
!
"Liu Guangshi, the marching speed in the mountains is really too slow! Let's go out for a walk!" Zhe Yanzhi couldn't help but said after two days of walking, several blisters appeared on his feet.
"Only in the mountains can we not be discovered and can we have a surprise effect! In the next few days, we will either be in the mountains, in the woods, or in the ravine! In short, there is no smooth road for us to walk on!
Liu Guangshi said with a smile.
"You are really crazy! I can't bear the constant traveling day and night. Do you think your soldiers can bear it? Aren't they tired? Don't you ever consider what the soldiers think?" Orihiko asked coldly.
road.
"For us, traveling like this is as normal as eating and drinking! In the past, we often conducted such training!" Liu Guangshi said.
Zhe Yanzhi shook his head slightly! He secretly admired it in his heart. Today, his impression of Liangshan has finally changed fundamentally! This army is not as timid as he imagined. On the contrary, this army is unusually strong.
Bold and willing to take risks, and the quality of this army is far higher than any army he has ever seen!
In the afternoon of August 23, they finally approached Tiandu Mountain!
At this moment, they were staying in a large forest 30 miles away from Tiandu Mountain! Liu Guangshi looked into the distance with a sneer on his face!
It was daytime now, and he sent dozens of people to investigate the reality of Tiandu Mountain, while the remaining soldiers took the time to rest!
Liu Guangshi grabbed a handful of fried noodles and put it in his mouth, chewing it constantly! Orihiko was also chewing, and he felt it was a little hard to swallow!
"Liu Guangshi, do you still have water?" Zheyan asked.
"The water is all gone! Didn't you already drink water yesterday?" Liu Guangshi said.
"That was yesterday!" Orihiko said angrily.
"I drank water yesterday, so that's already good! In the past, during training, it was normal for us not to drink water for three days and three nights! If there was really no water to drink, we would even drink horse urine! During drills,
, we are hiding in the mountains because we have run out of military rations, and we even have to look for caterpillars to eat!" Liu Guangshi said.
Zhe Yanzhi felt like vomiting after hearing this! He really didn't understand what kind of army this was? How could there be such an army in the world? This army was so cruel to themselves, what would they do to their enemies?
The soldiers who were sent out came back one after another and reported to Liu Guangshi the situation in Tiandu Mountain!
Chapter completed!
