I am Da Song

Chapter 276
In the fifth month of Xia, the envoys from Xiliao finally arrived at Jingzhao Mansion.

After all the envoys from the five countries arrived, the Minister of Honglu Temple did not hold a meeting immediately, but invited the envoys from all countries to move to the Weihe River.

The summer is scorching, and Guanzhong is even more dry and hot. The envoys of various countries are sweating and irritated.

The envoys from Western Liao, Mongolia, and Jin were all cold-resistant and not heat-resistant. Some people simply ignored their appearance, took off their shirts, and marched barebacked.

The Mongolian envoy was Gu Erhan, the younger brother of the Mongolian Great Khan. He was simple-minded and had a bad temper. He asked the Xiliao envoy beside him: "What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd in Song Dynasty? This hot day has pulled us out to expose ourselves to the sun." , are you trying to torment us on purpose, to kill our vigor?"

The envoy of Xiliao was Xiaowo Lica, an important minister of Xiliao. He used to guard Nanjing side by side with Yelu Dashi in the early years, and his status in Xiliao was second only to Yelu Dashi, the lord of the country.

He is calm by nature and has a wide range of knowledge, which is why Yelu Dashi entrusted him with full power in negotiating matters with an uncertain future. He actually has the power to sign all agreements on behalf of Xiliao and Song Dynasty.

With such a heavy mission, Xiao Woli did not dare to be reckless, and said cautiously: "Based on my understanding of the southerners, they have always been complex in mind and good at maneuvering. I am afraid it will not be so simple. Today's actions must have deeper plans. .”

These words deeply touched Gu Erhan's heart, and he immediately said with emotion: "These people in Song Dynasty are full of tricks, they are not as bold and brave as my Mongolian warriors, who crush everything with absolute force."

The voice fell for a long time, and Xiao Woli stabbed nowhere. Gu Erhan said angrily: "Why don't you speak! Do you have any objections to the absolute force of my Great Mongolia?"

Annoyed, Gu'erhan looked at Xiao Wolici who was at the side, but saw that the Xiliao envoy's eyes were round, his face was full of shock and horror, and he was staring straight ahead.

Gu Erhan followed his gaze and saw the boundless Song army standing on the banks of the Weishui River.

10,000+ people are neatly dressed, and the phalanx is majestic, neatly arranged on the banks of the Weihe River.The population is like a sea, the phalanx is continuous, and Zhu Qi is in the sky!
At a glance, the Song army's spears are like forests, the cold light is cold, and the banners and armors shine on the sky and the earth.This neat square formation seems to have no end.The black soldiers are all red robes and black armor, boundless and endless.

Even though the summer was scorching, Guerhan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. The cold air in his heart froze his whole body from the inside out.

This scene instantly shattered all his confidence in Mongolian Wude.

Crush everything with absolute force!This is a clear message sent to all envoys by the purge of the 10,000+ Imperial Guards of the Great Song Dynasty!The prosperity of Wude in the Great Song Dynasty and the directness of his attitude are even more distinct than that of Mongolia.

The only one who dares to be an enemy of Song Dynasty is Jianer!
Under the scorching sun, 10,000+ imperial guards stood in line, killing each other.

It wasn't until they approached that Tang Yi, Minister of the Honghe Temple, said to the envoys with a subtle smile: "Today coincides with the fact that we are in charge of the Jingsai Army, and the envoy Han is conducting a military parade in the Weihe River. Such a grand ceremony, I sincerely invite all the envoys to watch it together."

Everyone has been brought here, so you said invitation?
But no one dared to say much, the 10,000+ Song army along the Weihe River was so densely lined up, it was so shocking at this time.

The scorching summer has chilled everyone's hearts.

This is not a nominal 10,000+ army, but a 10,000+ elite army in front of all envoys.

Since the beginning of the year, Mongolia, the Kingdom of Jin, and Xiliao, who have been fighting every year, know too well how terrifying a real army of 10,000+ should be.

The envoys and deputy envoys of Xixia were even colder from head to toe. During the Zhenghe period, Tong Guan led 10,000+ Western troops to defeat Xixia and almost wiped out the country.

Now the Song Dynasty is more well-armored, and 10,000+ forbidden troops in full uniform are placed in Jingzhao Mansion, which is a short distance from Xixia.

Xiao Wuli, the envoy of the Western Liao Dynasty, swallowed sharply. The Khitan tribe suffered heavy casualties, and only a few tens of thousands of cavalry left their homes and embarked on the road of expedition.The size of the army that Da Song had in front of him was enough to make Xiliao despair.The strength of the two countries is already far apart.

However, Khitan's contempt for the Song army made it unable to accept this reality. Therefore, in the silence, Xiao Wuli snorted coldly and said: "The only one who fought in the Southern Dynasty was Dor. After 200 years, the Song army is still Nothing has changed."

Countless members of the envoys heard the harsh remarks, and all turned their attention to Xiao Woli.

Even the Honglu Temple diplomats who maintained order looked over, their eyes full of anger.

Everyone could hear Xiao Woli's sarcasm, which was to insinuate that the Song army only relied on a large number of people, and its real combat power was not worth mentioning.

Since the alliance at sea, the Khitan people have fled far away, and it has been too long since they have a detailed understanding of the combat power of the Song army.The impression of Song Jun is still more than ten years ago.

And Mongolia has never had a detailed understanding of the combat power of the Song Army.

Hearing the disdainful words of the Khitan envoy, his eyes lit up.If the Song army's combat power is weak, then Mongolia does not need to respect the Song emperor too much.

Now that the Jurchen has been severely injured and the Khitan is fleeing far away, it is the golden age of the rise of Mongolia.It's not like there is no chance to rob a fortune in the Huahua World of Central Plains.

Only Jin Guo envoy Wan Yan Wo Sai stood aside with arms folded, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, without saying a word.

Amidst the clamor of doubts among the missions.

There was a sound of drums along the Weihe River, and the Song army, who had been motionless like a mountain, stood up in an instant, and the sound of neat feet hitting the ground and the sound of armor clashing shook and roared.

Then the flags of the three armies fluttered, and the flags fluttered like clouds. Under the densely covered flags, one square after another began to move in an orderly manner, as slow as a forest.

Under the watchful eyes of countless envoys, the Song army moved like arms and fingers, and the 10,000+ army did not experience any confusion, and quickly changed from a lined up array to a combat array.

As soon as the drum was played, countless Song army phalanxes had been arranged into three huge phalanxes on the left, middle and right.

The formations inside the phalanx were orderly and strict, leaving a series of straight corridors.

In the front row of the array, the Zhu Banner of the Song Dynasty fluttered, and behind the Zhu Banner, five rows of crossbowmen lined up in a dense line.Any iron cavalry who wanted to attack the Song Army's phalanx had to face the terrifying arrow rain of the Song Army, which would inevitably lead to heavy casualties.

Behind the line of crossbowmen, separated by a corridor a few steps away, is a dense array of hoplites, the square formation is majestic and full of light.

This is the phalanx that all envoys are most concerned about. Before the Song Army was restructured, the Song Army's heavy infantry was famous all over the world.

After the reorganization of the Song Army, the heavy infantry was even more frightening.

The battle between the Song and Jin armies terrified the Jin army the most, and the elite heavy infantry of the Song army were the ones who lost their troops.

In particular, the absolute main force of the Song Army, the Shenwu Youjun relied on the tough and combat-friendly infantry line to cut out the heyday of the Song Dynasty today.
