Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chasing all the way to the border of the Song Dynasty, Luan Tingyu accepted surrender while fighting.

Although the borders of the Song Dynasty were strong, they were raised with grain, grass and supplies from the core area. Once the core of the Song Dynasty was threatened, local supplies would be cut off.

At this time, the entire border was already suffering from the Xixia people because of the withdrawal of the Western Army. The Jurchens came again to sweep the border, and many state capitals on the border had collapsed.

Seeing the arrival of the Protective Army and promoting the ideas of the Han family all the way, although the officials and soldiers of the Song Dynasty were also surprised by the many ethnic groups in the Protective Army, they still surrendered to the Protective Army more easily.

Many military prefectures along the border of the Song Dynasty were taken over by the Protective Army and the Supervisory Committee. The few stubborn places did not show hostility to the Protective Army, but just stayed behind closed doors. They were even returned to the Protective Army at the request of the Protective Army. The protection army provided food and grass supplies.

Just chasing all the way, we finally found the pass of Xixia in front of us.

The passes on the border between Song Dynasty and Xixia have long been fought over countless times by the two places, and defenses have been set up everywhere.

But in front of the protective army, such a strong city is not so difficult to break through.

Because along the way, the number of protective troops did not decrease, but increased in number.

Huanzhou Qingzhou was originally a military state. The people here brought bows, arrows and weapons with them when they went to farm. Many of the options for sons and daughters were to join the army. Because the Jurchens invaded the Song Dynasty, the people here suddenly lost their logistical support and panicked.

The arrival of the Supervisory Committee once again provided a stable anchor for people's hearts, so after the Supervisory Committee raised the banner of recruiting troops, many young men from both places took the initiative to join the Supervisory Committee's arms.

When Luan Tingyu came to Huanzhou, he already had [-] soldiers and horses, not including the number of civilians.

Many of the newly recruited soldiers in the team who were originally from the Song Dynasty official army were also deeply impressed after seeing the Supervisory Committee's way of running the army.

An expedition of [-] people was something worth recording even in the Song Dynasty. Some of these people had participated in the expedition against Xixia. At that time, the internal management of the [-] heavenly troops in the Song Dynasty was actually quite chaotic. The generals' personal soldiers could still It can be said that the actions are orderly, while more ordinary soldiers just barely look like an army.

But under Luan Tingyu, even the most ordinary militia member of the Supervisory Committee's maternity care team has complete protection.

They found that they were not like the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty who didn't know what to do when they got up every morning. Soldiers in the Supervisory Committee were busy from morning to night, running around, training, and performing tasks. There was no free time at all. In the team, group study sessions were organized, or missionaries gave introductory speeches to everyone, and soldiers who were not very illiterate were even asked to learn to write together.

These men who were originally soldiers in the Song Dynasty discovered for the first time that being a soldier was such a busy thing after they came to the Supervisory Committee.

There is no time for them to think about anything from morning to night, and they really don’t have to think too much. In the army, everything is arranged. There is food when you wake up in the morning, food after training at noon, and food at night. We even arrange bathing and sleeping together.

As they practiced, these soldiers developed a great sense of trust in the Supervisory Committee, and for the first time they felt like they were in the same group.

Originally, when they served as soldiers in the Song Dynasty, they would all project their trust on their superiors, feeling that they would only feel safe if they followed familiar commanders. However, the strict discipline management in the Supervisory Committee's team made all their trust My goal is to supervise the organization, and I unconsciously feel that as long as I am in the organization, I have a strong backer behind me.

With such an army under his command, Luan Tingyu did not find it difficult at all when facing the castle on the border between Song and Jin.

What's more, the Supervisory Committee brought a lot of cloth with them to buy luggage along the way to pay the wages of the civilian workers. However, the Yongxing Military Road is located on the border and the prices are extremely high, so the purchasing power of cotton here is quite strong.With the support of a large amount of cotton cloth, many people took the initiative to deliver supplies to the Supervisory Committee's team, and the Supervisory Committee also quickly won the trust of the people with its honest and trustworthy style.

The common people's carts and shoulders allowed Luan Tingyu not only to ensure his own supply of food and grass, but even the artillery equipment was fully loaded to the border between the Song Dynasty and Xixia.

Because Wanyan Zonghan ran too fast, Luan Tingyu didn't have a chance to let the artillery come in during the whole process. The artillerymen who had dragged the cannon for thousands of miles were already itchy, so they started shelling desperately against the border wall of Xixia.

After all, the city walls of the Song Dynasty were still built of stone, while many of the city walls of Xixia were even rammed earth structures. They were directly destroyed after a few cannons. The army charged up and instantly stunned the Xixia army.

The border between the Song Dynasty and Xixia only delayed the protection army for three days. After three days, the mighty [-]-strong army marched into Xixia territory in two ways.

Li Qianshun didn't even know he was afraid at this time. He just negotiated good terms with the Jurchens and sent his general Richard Brother with the same [-] troops to defend.

Li Qianshun thought that his [-] troops, combined with the Jurchens' [-] troops, not to mention the geographical advantage here, would be more than enough to deal with the [-] Han troops.

After the army entered the territory of Xixia, they rushed directly to the capital of Xiangqing Army. Luan Tingyu knew that Xixia would hide Wanyan Zonghan here without even looking for it, because other places could not provide food and drink for the [-] troops.

As soon as they arrived, they saw Xixia and Jurchens mobilizing their troops, and countless troops were galloping on the battlefield.

Luan Tingyu faced the enemy's movements while riding on his horse, but he did not react at all.

If it were other generals of the protection army leading the troops, they would definitely take action immediately and start a big battle before the enemy has completed their formation.

But Luan Tingyu did not panic at all. He knew that among the tens of thousands of troops under his command, only half of them were protective troops. Most of them were maternity care teams who had just joined the Supervisory Committee. Their weapons were no more elite than those of the enemy. If he rashly attacked the enemy himself, The formation is likely to be counterproductive.

Luan Tingyu called his generals, pointed to the distance and said:

"A small enemy force is sneaking up on the left side, and its main force is strutting in the city. The Xixia people's fighting methods are very rigid. They are blatantly tempting us to attack his partial division. Please tell us your own ideas."

All the generals under his command were educated and could tell what the enemy was thinking at just one glance. Luan Tingyu's chief of staff said: "The enemy is coming from the side battlefield in a big way. You don't need to ask. There must be a large number of their troops behind the castle on the left, most of them cavalry."

Another staff officer said: "They want to complete the outflank. If we attack his partial division, we will be blocked by his flanking troops. At this time, the main force will come out from the front, and we will be attacked on both sides."

Luan Tingyu nodded, thought for a while and asked: "What if they ignore their side forces and directly attack the main force?"

"I'm just afraid that the enemy's flanks are full of troops and will take our retreat. Our delivery teams haven't seen many tough battles. If they are frightened, problems will arise."
