Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

The sky is already bright, and Zhao Chen is standing on the wall of Hongzhou City at this moment!

Countless imperial soldiers stood by his side, guarding his safety!

The heavy snow is still blowing, the world is pale!

Zhao Chen looked into the distance, only to see an empty piece of snow in the distance! But he knew that there was a grassland under the snow!

From here is the famous Hetao area in history! This was once the place where the Han people raised horses. When the Song Dynasty was just established, it still belonged to the Han people! Until the rise of Xixia, Hetao was occupied by Xixia people! Since then, the Han people have lost their place to raise horses, and the Song Dynasty has no more established cavalry! The lack of cavalry was also the main reason why the Song Dynasty was not an opponent of the nomads!

And now, the Han people will collect this place one after another!

At this moment, footsteps came from behind, and Li Xianzhong strode behind Zhao Chen.

"Your Majesty, the casualties have been counted! This time, our army has killed more than 2,300 people and seriously injured more than 1,200 people! The total number has reached 3,500!" Li Xianzhong said.

Zhao Chen stood there and nodded!

At any time, he was very sad when he heard the news of the soldiers' deaths and injuries! But he knew that the battle with Xixia was an inevitable war, and the dead were also indispensable! He can only try to ensure that fewer people die, so that more soldiers can return to their hometown!

"Your Majesty, through this battle, we can see that our army's combat power has far surpassed Xixia!" Li Xianzhong said again.

"How much better are we than them?" Zhao Chen said.

"If it is a single soldier, in terms of physical fitness, one of us can match two of them! If it is a battalion, the soldiers of one of our battalions can fight against the soldiers of their three battalions! If it is an army with 10,000 soldiers , We are enough to resist 50,000 of them! However, this refers to the situation on the plains where everyone is infantry, our army can defeat five of them! However, Xixia produces horses, and their cavalry is extremely large! Infantry confrontation Cavalry, with the quality of our army, with the same strength, an army can probably only block one army of their cavalry!" Li Xianzhong said.

"It's already very good!" Zhao Chen nodded.

There was an extraordinary joy in his heart!

It has been five years since Xuanwu, and it has been more than five years since he became the throne. It has been more than four years since Zhao Chen presided over the military and administration! Over the past four years, the army has changed tremendously! The current Great Song Army is far better than the Forbidden Army and the Western Army at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is also far better than the current Xixia Army! The combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty army is no longer under the strongest Jurchen army of this era! But the only shortcoming is that this army lacks horses!

This time entering Xixia, all the forbidden forces in northern Shaanxi are infantry! There are more than 20,000 cavalry in the Huanqing Army! As for the Jingyuan Army, there are more than 20,000 cavalry! This is the war horse obtained from Guanshan's Jurchen army and the new Khitan army after defeating the Guanshan Jurchens! And unlike the Jurchens, many of the Jurchens are one man, two horses or even three horses, while Zhao Chen’s cavalry is only one man and one horse! A cavalry with one man and one horse will greatly reduce the ability to continue fighting, and is far inferior to the Jurchen army with two or three horses per man!

"After we defeat Xixia, we will get enough horses! How many horses are there in Hongzhou City now?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, there were originally 30,000 Xixia troops in Hongzhou City! These 30,000 Xixia troops were originally Xixia pioneers preparing to enter northern Shaanxi. They are all cavalry! There are more than 50,000 horses here!" Li Xianzhong said.

"It's really great! This is a fortune we got, we must be optimistic about these horses!" Zhao Chen said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, we also caught a prisoner! It turned out to be a Han Chinese!" Li Xianzhong said.

"Oh? Bring it up!" Zhao Chen said.

At the moment, Li Xianzhong waved his hand, and several soldiers escorted Hongzhou prefect Ren Dujing to come up!

Ren Dejing has been locked up in the middle of the night, and he is worried, not knowing what end he will face! After dawn, he was escorted out. Along the way, he only saw countless Song Army soldiers standing beside him! These soldiers of the Song Army were completely different from the soldiers of the Song Army in his impression. They stood neatly, their eyes were sharp, and their morale was exceptionally strong! This was an army he had never seen before. He immediately judged it and came to a conclusion in his heart: The soldiers in front of him were far better than the original Western army, far surpassed the current Xixia army, even the most elite Jurchen army. That's all! He was shocked!

"When will such an army appear in the Song Dynasty? There have been rumors that it was the Hanzhong's Da Song army who defeated the Jurchen army. Is it true? How could it be possible? When did the Han people become so brave?" Countless thoughts passed through his mind.

After a while, I don’t know how long, he was taken to the wall, and after a while, he was sent up!

After coming to the city wall, he immediately saw a young man standing there! This young man is surrounded by countless soldiers, his face is firm, and he is pointing to the surrounding soldiers! More importantly, he was actually wearing a dragon robe! He wears a treasure sword on his waist, which is the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss sword worn by the brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi back then!

"This...is the Emperor of Song Dynasty?" Ren Dejing stayed there all of a sudden!

He never dreamed that the Emperor of Song Dynasty had come here! Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, apart from Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi's personal conquests, no emperor has dared to step onto the battlefield! All emperors only dared to hide in the palace. They lived richly, but they were as timid as a mouse! The two emperors Song Huizong and Song Qinzong in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty were extremely ridiculous in front of the Jurchens. Emperor Xuanwu in Hanzhong was their descendant. How could it be so brave? How can you have the courage to step onto the battlefield?

After a while, several soldiers pressed Ren Dejing to the ground!

"Weichen Ren Dejing, see your Majesty!" Ren Dejing hurriedly said.

"Weichen? I just heard that you are Xixia's courtier, the prefect of Hongzhou. Why do you say that you are a'Weichen'?" Zhao Chen turned around and said.

At this time, you can hear Zhao Chen's voice clearly when you are respectful! Zhao Chen's voice is calm and capable, which is very different from the previous emperors! The previous emperors belonged to Wen Zou Zou, and it took a long time to think about a sentence! Moreover, the emperor would not speak directly to the captives. After the emperor said it, the **** next to him conveyed it, and it seemed that there was no **** beside Zhao Chen!

"Your Majesty, the Weichen is the former Xi'an prefectural judge, Ren Dejing!" Ren Dejing said.

"Since you are a courtier of Song Dynasty, why take refuge in Xixia?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the Weichen is just thinking about breaking into Xixia! Your Majesty, I know everything about the situation in Xixia in the past few years! Weichen's daughters have all entered the Xixia Palace, and they are now the imperial concubines, and they will become queens in time. It’s not impossible! Your Majesty, the Weichen is willing to tell his Majesty everything he knows! Moreover, after the daughter of Weichen becomes a queen in the future, he can also secretly transmit messages! Your Majesty, what do you think?" Ren Dujing sweating on his forehead, But his mind turned sharply, said.

"Do you know who I hate most in my life?" Zhao Chen looked at the generals around him and asked.

"I don't know!" Li Xianzhong said.

The generals next to him also shook their heads.

"What I hate most in my life is traitors! Forget the country, forget the nation, don’t know how to be shameful, take refuge in outsiders, and help outsiders deal with their own people! Foreign enemies are hateful, traitors are even more hateful! Xixia has repeatedly invaded Guanshan in the past 100 years, and I don’t know how many killed. The people of Guanshan, under such circumstances, there are officials of the Song Dynasty who have taken refuge in Xixia, enjoying the glory and wealth in Xixia! What do you think such people should do?" Zhao Chen said.

"Kill!" Li Xianzhong said without hesitation.

"Your Majesty! Be merciful, be merciful! The Weichen really knows countless news about Xixia! And the daughter of the Weichen is indeed the imperial concubine now! There are Weichen and Weichen's daughters, your Majesty has defeated Hongzhou this time, and the Weichen can take his place. Your Majesty will cover up, and the ministers can write to the Xixia court, saying that the Jurchens invaded Xixia! Your Majesty, you can leave Hongzhou now and return to the Song Dynasty without worrying about the arrival of the Xixia army!" Ren Dejing was shocked, said.

"Leave Hongzhou now and return to the Song Dynasty? It's ridiculous, ridiculous! This time I brought half of the country's soldiers into Xixia. Will I leave Hongzhou after a mere district?" Zhao Chen laughed.

The generals next to him also laughed.

"Your Majesty, do you want?" Ren Dujing asked in horror.

"We want Xixia to never be a side issue again!" Zhao Chen said lightly.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Don't you know that Da Song couldn't destroy Xixia for more than a hundred years?" Ren Dejing said in surprise. He even forgot the fact that he was about to be killed now. I feel that Zhao Chen is crazy, and dare to say such a thing!

"Hold it on! Kill without mercy!" Zhao Chen said lightly.

"Your Majesty! Be forgiving!" Ren Dejing shouted for mercy again at this time!

After a while, there was a scream in the distance!

Regardless, the biggest treacherous official of Xixia in history has now died in Hongzhou City like this! His history has since been interrupted, and the history of Xixia will also undergo unprecedented changes!

The army rests in Hongzhou City for a day!

On the 20th of the first lunar month, the army continued northward!

On the 25th of the first lunar month, the army came to the city of Youzhou in Xixia, which is probably located in the area of ​​Dongaolezhaoqi in Etuokeqianqi, Inner Mongolia!

There are five thousand Xixia garrisons here, and in less than half an hour, Youzhou has fallen! All the soldiers of Youzhou Xixia surrendered!

On the first day of February, the army conquered the Jianing Army Division of Xixia!

There are ten thousand garrisons here, but in front of the 150,000 troops of the Forbidden Army and Huanqing Army in northern Shaanxi, this place is also vulnerable! In addition, this is the place where the Xixia people reserve food and equipment. After being attacked, the Song army received countless food and equipment, enough to cope with the subsequent battle!

After attacking the Jianing Army Division, the army was repaired here for another two days!

After that, the army went all the way to the west, and on February 10th, they came to the city of Yanzhou in Xixia!

This city of Yanzhou was originally built in the Tang Dynasty to resist border troubles. Bai Juyi's poem "City of Yanzhou" states that "I have built Yanzhou for more than ten years, and Zuo Jun will not be guilty of stuffiness"! In the early years of the Song Dynasty, this was also the border city of the Song Dynasty! It is a pity that after the rise of the Xixia Dangxiang people, this place was occupied by Xixia! Compared to Hongzhou, the status of Yanzhou is undoubtedly more important. The defense here is stronger, and the number of troops stationed here is also more! This is the military hub east of Xixia!

At this moment, the news of Hongzhou, Youzhou, Jianing and other places being conquered has spread to Yanzhou City. The 40,000 garrisons in Yanzhou City are standing by, and it is impossible for the Song Army to conquer Yanzhou by surprise!
