I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 706 Repaying oneself with one's own way
When eradicating the influence of party members in Shazhou, it was done with the pleading villagers.

To put it bluntly, this was a display of strength, and it also gave these people a bottom line in their hearts, so they don't have any more thoughts.

After all, when they fought with the Xixia people in the city, none of them saw the power of Song Dynasty firearms with their own eyes...

After compiling all the details in the memorial, Wang Shao had no choice but to continue to use the passage on Dangjin Mountain to send back to the imperial court...~Hexi Corridor, which is still in the hands of Xixia.

When Pianshi figured out a way to cross Dangjin Mountain, he had already reported to the court.At that time, the frontal battlefield was just that the two sides had entered the deployment stage, and the war had not yet begun.

Zhao Xi didn't expect that the teacher would give him such a big surprise.

This is a good beginning.

In the whole plan, the delay of the partial division was the most worrying of the court, but unexpectedly, it was the first to report the success.

As long as the Pianshi can cross Dangjin Mountain, no one in the imperial court will worry about Pianshi anymore... Equipped with armaments capable of sweeping the Hexi Corridor, there is no possibility of accidents in Shazhou.

However, just as Wang Shao and the others stormed Shazhou, the frontal battlefield also began.

What I didn't expect was that the frontal battlefield was blocked.

I don't know if this counts as paying back my own way!

Zhao Xi was very depressed.I have heard that war is a communication machine before, but this time I have experienced it personally.

Today, in addition to the improvement of the personal tactical literacy of soldiers, what can really crush the Beiliao and Xixia is the emergence of chariots.

Whether it is gunpowder bullets or muskets, it does not have much advantage over the current bed crossbows, god arm crossbows, and even some bows and arrows.

Especially after the horses have been trained in a targeted manner, the horses have adapted to the sound of explosions, and the gunpowder bombs no longer have the power they had when they were born.

This is not to say that the formula of gunpowder bombs has been leaked, but that folk gunpowder can also achieve the effect of adapting war horses.

Therefore, this time against Xixia, what Da Song really relied on was the versatility and sturdiness of the chariot.

And the frontal battlefield was blocked, and it was because of the chariot.

The way the Xixia people blocked the chariots was exactly the way Zhao Xi directed Lanzhou to defend the Xixia cavalry... ~ Digging trenches!
"If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and being beaten promotes progress! If Xixia has no way to deal with the chariot, I will be surprised. Now, I feel at ease."

"The Xixia people used this method to block the chariot, which proves that they have not made a breakthrough in gunpowder, and also proves that they really have no good way to deal with the chariot."

"Everyone, you have to trust the generals in front, the flexibility of the engineering soldiers' thinking, and even more trust in everyone in our workshop city!"

Although Zhao Xi said so, she was somewhat worried.It's just that worrying is different from worrying.In the current situation, we only need to worry about the progress of the attack, not the damage of the soldiers.

"That's right, just as the officials said. Originally, I thought that the Pianshi would delay the final meeting because of the snow on the golden mountain. Isn't it resolved now?"

At this time, that's all I can say.

Zhao Xi also thought about it, but unfortunately, he is not capable of making a tank, let alone a tracked chariot.

Don't say that he only knows what it is and doesn't know why, but he knows that with the current technology, it is also a castle in the air.

The working people are the smartest!Zhao Xi always believed in this point, just like engineers can think of hoisting chariots, he believed that the countless engineers ahead would definitely be able to solve these difficulties.

What is worrying now is that, compared to the other roads, due to the Hengshan Mountains, the Xixia people were unable to dig trenches around Hengshan, but the army of the Huanqing Road advanced.

A little lonely and deep.The point is, the commander-in-chief of this route is Gao Zunyu, who is the route that Zhao Xi is most worried about.

Originally, I thought that this road should be the slowest to advance, so I handed over this road to Gao Zunyu to lead.

The result is so...~
Zhao Xi was a little depressed.I originally thought that the advance of the armies from all walks of life should be the most difficult to advance in the Hengshan area. The mountain roads are rugged, ravines are everywhere, and they are all mountain roads.Combined with Gao Zunyu's eagerness for quick success, he was transferred from Lanzhou to Huanqing.Who would have thought that reality would be like this.

Not to mention Di Qing, even Zhong Ya, Guo Kui, and even Kumamoto Li Xian's command ability is stronger than Gao Zunyu's.But now his road has become the smoothest.

"Officials, does the Huanqing Army need to slow down its advance? The old minister is worried that the speed of each advance is a targeted and intentional strategy created by Xixia..."

Wen Yanbo's worries are not unreasonable.For the generals of Guochao, not only the court, but Xixia also has a thorough understanding of these generals.They have all fought on the northwest border for many years, and they are very familiar with each other.

"Morale should be boosted and not discouraged! It is better to advance all the way than to be blocked at all. At least it will be beneficial to the current situation."

Is this considered a disadvantage in the battle?Most courtiers have such thoughts in their minds.What Zhang Fangping said was exactly the current situation of the court.

Not to mention some participating in state affairs, even the cabinet ministers, at this time, no longer have the atmosphere when they first declared war.Alas, literati can't bear setbacks the most.

"See you Xuan Su Song!"

Zhao Xi really didn't want to be depressed with these dejected cabinets. It wasn't a big deal at first, but staying in the environment created by them seemed to have affected him, and he didn't seem to have a firm belief anymore.This is not a good thing.

Generally speaking, those who have the spirit of exploration, or those who are engaged in research affairs, have a kind of indomitable resilience.At this time, perhaps Su Song and Shen Kuo may let themselves change their mood.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Zirong, is there a way for the workshop city to deal with the fact that the various armies are currently blocked?"

Zhao Xi has always been straightforward about his so-called direct descendants.Su Song didn't even pay attention when he was still bowing, and asked for a solution directly.

Su Song didn't think it was because the officials had any opinion on him, so he straightened up naturally.I am used to it.

But Su Song was a little strange. It is said that with the temperament of an official, this matter is not too anxious, or even taken seriously.After watching this scene, I understand.

In terms of flexibility of thinking, there is no one in this world who is stronger than officials. He, Shen Kuo, including the master craftsmen and engineers in the workshop city, are all influenced by officials.

"Official, this matter is basically settled."

"Solved? Zirong, there is no joke before you!"

"Fuxiang, it is indeed resolved. A craftsman on Qinfeng Road dismantled the chariot carriage and put it on the trench to form a bridge, so the chariot can pass through."

Hearing what Su Song said, Zhao Xi wanted to pat himself on the head.It's a very simple matter, I actually got into a dead end.However, the bearing capacity of the chariot compartment may be unsustainable.

"The chariot compartment can be used for defense, but it can't carry weight. The craftsmen on Qinzhou Road asked the workshop city for advice. The ministers and others fixed the keel of the chariot's frame inside the compartment wall, so it can support the chariot to pass!"

"I am waiting for the reply from Qinzhou Road. After the experiment is successful, the workshop city will go all out to meet the needs of all the troops!"
