Chapter 1044 Assault(1/2)
The relationship between the Song, Liao, Western Xia and the Three Kingdoms was very complicated, and love triangles were not enough to describe such complex relationships.
There were endless messengers fighting and fighting...
People's exchanges between the Three Kingdoms were very frequent, especially the Song Dynasty. As the most prosperous country between the Three Kingdoms, it became a trade gathering place for neighboring countries.
Going to the Song Dynasty to do business can make money that you can't spend in ten lives.
Go to the Song Dynasty to find opportunities, and maybe when you come back, you will be rich.
This is probably the case for those who are full of longing for a certain lighthouse in later generations. Only after they go there will I find that they can only wash dishes.
But for many people, washing dishes in the Song Dynasty is a good job.
So there were more people in the Song Dynasty with unknown origins, just like those who smuggled into gangsters in later generations, and were hanging around in the Song Dynasty.
The generous policies encouraged the people to migrate freely and encouraged foreign vassals to flock to the Song Dynasty.
There are many benefits here, but there are also many disadvantages.
For example, it is difficult for the Song Dynasty to mobilize a large army to hide it from neighboring countries.
So the raid becomes nervous, and you must rush to the enemy before the secret spies inform you.
That's what Zhao Xu thought, so he urged the cavalry all the way to rush.
When they arrived at a fortress on the border, everyone inside was frightened.
The dirty Zhao Xu almost fell down after dismounting. Zhe Kexing picked him up with one hand and whispered: "Stay calm, don't embarrass you."
Zhao Xu felt that his legs were no longer his own, so he said to the ushered general: "Get some hot food, and after eating, we will continue to rush."
“You are…”
Five thousand elite cavalry were probably like nuclear weapons in the Song Dynasty, but they actually appeared in an unknown fortress in the northwest. This would probably scare many people if they said it.
What is the court doing?
The key leader seems to be a teenager...
The young man leads the army, this is a bit inappropriate.
"This is the king!"
The king came over, and his height was the best proof.
"Have you met Wang Junzhu!"
The general's salute with excitement was probably a bit like seeing an idol.
After the swordsman led by Wang Que became famous in the battle, he had a great influence in the army.
The general was suddenly stunned and slowly looked at Zhao Xu, "Are you... the king?"
The king frowned and said, "Go and prepare for food quickly. Also, the king... boil water to bathe and change clothes for the king."
"yes."
The general was already frightened and hurriedly took the people to prepare.
The prince actually came to the northwest and brought five thousand cavalry. What is he going to do?
Zhao Xu frowned and said, "I don't need to take a shower."
The king looked elsewhere, "Another forty miles is a fortress in Xixia. Before the raid, you must maintain your body...your legs..."
Zhao Xu's legs were as soft as noodles, and the inner sides of his legs had been worn out. Every time he took off his hands and took off his pants, it was a torture.
Smoke rose from the fortress, and Zhao Xu was bathing in a utility room.
He went in in his pants, and the hot water slowly dissolved the solidified blood, and then he took off his pants.
After taking a shower, Zhe Kexing sent the medicine for injury.
"This is the Zhe family's injury medicine. If you apply it, it will not occur before the raid."
Zhao Xu took the medicine and it was indeed much better.
Then there is rice.
There was no chef in the fortress, but when the prince came, he carefully made a big bowl of soup cakes.
Zhao Xu had a headache when he saw the mutton, but he still ate it.
Recently, he will get fever as long as he eats mutton. It doesn’t matter if the fever is hot, and it makes people feel bored.
The general squatted beside and guarded. After Zhao Xu finished eating, he asked with a saliva face: "Master, how can we ask where we are going?"
Zhao Xu wiped his mouth and said, "Go and beat Li Liangzuo up."
Damn it!
The general was stunned and thought to himself that we had reconciled with Li Liangzuo? What else did the Xixia people say last time...
"Didn't Chen County Duke say that Xixia is the cub of the Song Dynasty?"
The soldiers had eaten and were resting, and some even fell asleep.
"It's the cub of the Song Dynasty, but the undescendant. The undescendant cannot be used as a weapon without being beaten."
The journey was very hard, and Zhao Xu's eyelids were also fighting. He wanted to give the soldiers more rest, but Zhe Kexing opposed it.
"It's very hard to get here from Bianliang, so you can't rest. Once you rest, your breath will be dissipated. How can you raid with a listless attack?"
"Get up and set off right away."
The sleeping soldiers woke up, their eyes were covered in blood and their expressions were confused.
"Go on the attack! We are going to slap Li Liangzuo!"
"Everyone is cheered up and it's time to kill the enemy!"
“…”
The generals cheered the soldiers and then attacked.
The distance of more than forty miles was not far. Before dusk fell, Zhao Xu saw the fortress through a telescope.
The smoke rises, indicating that the food is being cooked inside.
Zhe Kexing dismounted and said, "There will be scouts from Xixia here, and I will go and clean up."
He said it was very relaxed, but when he came back again, he was covered in blood and he was carrying a prisoner.
Torture is an art, but at this moment, Zhe Kexing has no time to display his torture ability, but instead adopts the most violent approach.
Cut your fingers.
Watching my fingers and toes disappear one by one, this psychological pressure is not something that anyone can bear.
"Three thousand people...there are three thousand people..."
The fortress with three thousand people is not bad, and it is still under the control. If you want to attack, you can't even think about it without ten thousand people.
How to fight?
The three of them sat on the ground and watched Zhe Kexing draw a topographic map of the fort on the ground with small stones.
"There is a slope on the left, so you can't hit it here, and there is a water source behind, so you can't hit it either."
"The enemy is staring at it, it is difficult to fight. If you want to raid, you will only have to go to the right."
Zhe Kexing threw down the stone and said, "I took someone to touch it from the right, and then opened the village door..."
He said it very easily, but Wang knew the risks contained in it.
"If you are found, come back."
Zhe Kexing smiled at Wang, "We will raid thousands of miles, if we retreat, it will become a joke..."
Zhao Xu pondered: "It's good that way, we are on the front. If we are discovered, then we will attack."
Zhe Kexing watched him stop talking, and the atmosphere became a little weird.
"Your Majesty, you're here."
But the king knew the meaning of Zhe Kexing, which was hesitation.
He hoped that Zhao Xu could participate in the attack and gain experience in fighting, but he was worried that he would be in danger.
Zhao Xu looked up and said, "I took the initiative to ask to come here this time. Since I have come, how can I see blood? Go."
Zhe Kexing got up, suddenly patted his shoulder, and said, "Take care."
It's hard to tell what the situation will be. Maybe he will be surrounded and fight until he dies from exhaustion.
Zhao Xu stood up, "If you get stuck, I will definitely go in."
The two looked at each other and suddenly laughed.
"We will win!"
"must!"
Zhe Kexing turned around and left, followed by more than two hundred soldiers.
To be continued...
