I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 332 The Xixia People Are Coming

Zhao Xi didn't just let things go.

According to the current battle situation, it is not too outrageous, and it is basically within Zhao Xi's expectations, and there will never be deployment in the final stage of encirclement and suppression.

The reason why Zhao Xi ordered to switch to the defensive stage at this time was because he estimated that the battle situation should reach the defensive stage.

All things are not aimless.

It has been nearly two months since Xixia invaded border areas on a large scale.

And it has been more than a month since the violent attack from the east and west routes seems to be instigated, and Xixia has not responded to the attack from the east and west routes.Even the Brave Army Division in the left wing, Zhuo Luo and the Southern Army Division did not send more troops to the border.

Even if Xixia Chaotang likes to dawdle like Guochao, it should have shown something in the past month or so.

After all, it is impossible to wipe out all these battles on the east and west routes. Xixia should understand the battle situation on the east and west routes.

There has been no change so far, which means that Xixia has also decided to march to Qinzhou.

It's time for the final battle.

……

The northern gate of Xiaoguan Pass has been an important pass for the Central Plains to defend against foreign peoples since ancient times.

Today's Xiaoguan was newly built by Fan Zhongyan, the old minister and princess, during the Northwest Incident.

Today's Xiaoguan is located in the northeast edge of Liupan Mountain, in the open land around the east bank of the river.Standing at Xiaoguan Watching Enemy Building, one can have a panoramic view of the entire open land between Huanjiang and Huluhe.

Xiaoguan is not just a border village, but a complete defense system formed by six border villages and one border city.

And further north, there are nearly ten frontier strongholds as Xiaoguan's outposts.

Ever since Song Xia turned against each other this time, although Xiao Guan has not yet entered the wartime, he has never had a moment of relaxation.

A few days ago, the frontline headquarters sent another new army...that was a new army equipped with new equipment.

"Dutou...Look, that's..."

"It's Wolf Smoke... Hurry up... Hurry up Wolf Smoke! The western thieves have entered the country!"

Today's sky is a bit gloomy, but Liu Wu can still distinguish the wolf smoke, which is already the nearest border village.

It should be that the camps in front of them had lit the beacon fire, but because of the weather, they didn't see it clearly... Now, the Xixia people should be at the Guanqiang soon.

Sure enough, after Liu Wu saw the smoke of Suixu Fort in the west and Shengqiang Village in the south, he heard the sound of horseshoes running like thunder... The Xixia people are coming!

"Dutou, Wang Er... Wang Er and the others are gone."

Liu Wu patted this young soldier on the shoulder... Sigh, what else?It must be gone.

Wang Er is the general ten of the frontier stronghold, that is a sentry stronghold, full of fights and calculations, that is, more than [-] people, how can they withstand the attack of the Xixia people?

After the arrival of the new army, they had proposed to let their people replace the outposts, but Liu Wu did not agree. This is their business for the Western Army. The new army is a treasure, and the frontline command will definitely not let them serve as sentries.

But... well, anyone who goes to the frontier village may have such a result.Today is Wang Er's turn, if two more days pass, he, Liu Wu, will also be there.

"Don't think about it, it's a serious matter to kill more Western thieves to avenge Wang Er!"

There is no need to order, these days, everyone has been preparing.

From the replacement of new armor and the distribution of compressed biscuits, they knew that war would come at any time.

A few days ago, I heard that the east and the west were fighting fiercely, but there was no movement on their side. They thought that this battle was nothing to do with them, but the war still came.

The Xixia people came, countless horses galloped, and the dust raised almost merged with the gloomy sky. It was impossible to see how much Xixia cavalry was said...

Even if he walked slowly, Liu Wu couldn't count, because there were too many, and he couldn't see the edge at all...

These are not all Xixia people, but only part of the attack on Xiaoguan.

The smoke from Suixu Fort just now was almost at the same time as when Liu Wu lit the smoke. He knew that this time, the Xixia people were fully attacking the middle.

It was getting closer, getting closer, and the war horses occupied the entire open area in front of the pass, densely packed, and the ground could hardly be seen.

At this time, Liu Wu's ears were filled with the sound of galloping horses...

Liu Wu held the bow with his left hand, and stroked the string with his right. He couldn't help but pull the string a few times, and he couldn't help it a few times... It's still far away, but the sound of horses' hooves rushing to thunder made him feel that the war horse was about to fall. by your side.

At this time, there is no need to arrange how to fight the enemy, it has already been arranged.

He was not qualified to command the new army. He heard that the commander of the new army was from the guard battalion, and his military rank might be higher than his, so he just arranged for his own soldiers.

It has been many years, and each of them is very clear about what they should do... But Liu Wu is thinking: I am afraid that there is no possibility for him to go back, right?

Forget it, don't think about it, I'm just a thief supporting the army, to be able to mix with this eighth-rank imperial martial arts captain is already smoke from the ancestral grave.

Now that he has a wife and children, Mr. Han Jinglue has arranged his family members in Qinzhou. This time, he may be able to give his wife and children a better life in the future by risking his life.

It is said that as long as it is a new army, His Royal Highness will arrange for the family members of all soldiers to make a living.

It's just that I am 30 years old, otherwise I would have participated in the selection of the new army.

Look at the equipment of the new army...

"Woo...~"

The yelling under the wall brought Liu Wu back to reality.

This western thief knows how to play this trick. When he rode his horse to hit the arrow, he suddenly stopped his horse, and the soldiers who always provoked him shot the arrows in their hands...

"Look down..."

Liu Wu shouted loudly.At this time, the Xixia people's horses stopped, and his loud voice could be heard by all the soldiers.

He knew that at this time, the Xixia people would take advantage of the gap between the bow and the arrow of the soldiers, ride forward on horseback, and then shoot arrows at the top of the city... how many times, it has always been like this.

All the old soldiers knew that at this time, they had to bow their heads, cover themselves with the battlements, complete the action of drawing the bow and nodding the arrow, and then get up and shoot the arrow down again.

Liu Wu did this, and all the soldiers of the Western Army did this when they heard Liu Wu's order.

But the new army, although there was no arrangement, all the new army was on the wall facing the enemy, and no one bowed their heads.

Liu Wu heard the clanging sound, and also saw the arrows falling behind the short stack...

"Commander Liu, what should you do if the Xi thief rushes to the wall while you are bowing your head?"

The person who asked the question was the commander of the new army, a soldier of the guard battalion.

"His Highness once said that as a soldier, you should never leave your back to the enemy at any time. Your back can only be left to your comrades forever."

"True warriors must dare to face death and not back down in the face of bullets! Commander Liu, what you do is no different from leaving your back to the enemy!"

Liu Wu was very embarrassed when asked.These practices were passed down from the elders, and when I heard the questioning, I felt that what they said made sense.

Liu Wu stood up straight in shame, shot the arrow in his hand, and then closed his eyes as if waiting to die... It all depends on God.

It seemed that he had been shot by an arrow... Liu Wu didn't feel any pain, so he opened his eyes and looked... Hey, it's all right, it's just that there is an imprint on the armor.
