and Annihilation

"But you are right. The Yang family has shared the interests for so many years and is now considered to be strong. If you want the Song Dynasty to support the Gao family, the Gao family will have to exchange their interests."

"Either we exchange Jianchang Mansion to gain the support of the Song Dynasty; or we exchange the Yunnan copper mine north of Jiaozhi for the Nongdong copper mine we control."

"I'm afraid that the big shots in the court, with their survival in mind, will be deceived by Prime Minister Gao and become gunmen again."

Having said this, he sat up and said, "No, I have to write a memorial to His Majesty now, and I also need to write a letter to Zhang Dun and Cai Jing!"

Zhang Qi also sat up and helped Su You put on his coat: "I am on the front line of Xixia, and I am still worrying about Dali. As the young master said, I am exhausted and not happy!"

…

In the early morning of the next day, the Song army began to assemble, and Gao Zunyu ordered a temporary bridge to be built next to the old bridge by arranging boxcars side by side and covering them with covers.

The Xia people came out to attack in three groups of cavalry, trying to prevent the Song army from building the bridge.

The canal itself was like a trench. The New Army soldiers had long been lying down on the other side of the canal. When the Xia cavalry rushed closer, Cao Nan raised his magic gun and said, "Hit!"

On the bank of the river, intensive gunshots suddenly sounded, and the Xia people fell to the ground one after another.

The urging horn sounded in Zhuangzi, and the Xia army's bravery was vividly demonstrated at this moment. Their wish was to rush across the river canal and engage in a melee with the Song army.

But the magic weapon is not a crane-shin crossbow. Its power and speed are several times that of a crane-shin crossbow.

The Military Academy has already conducted research on how to defeat cavalry with foot, three-shot bows, and five-shot crane-shank crossbows. However, as long as the level is increased to ten shots, no matter how thick a thousand-man cavalry formation is, it will become

The soul of the dead under the bullet.

Su You was on the top of the hillside, holding up binoculars to watch the battle. He could see the cavalry coming out of the village on the opposite side. When they rushed towards the canal, they were knocked down like wheat.

The Song army's line seemed loose, but it was actually due to the lying posture adopted by the new army, which created an illusion for the enemy generals.

However, the enemy general did not wake up. In order to adapt to the changes in the battle situation ahead, he reorganized the charge, and this time, a dense cavalry formation was adopted.

The Fulu cannon arranged by Gao Zunyu on this side of the river immediately showed its power.

Looking over from the top of the hillside, the Xia people's cavalry troops had just assembled into three large formations, and countless explosions of gunpowder smoke and fire broke out among them.

Countless Xia horses were hit and torn apart by shrapnel whizzing through the air amid the flying snow. The horses were so frightened that they spread like ants poured into boiling water.

However, the Xia people's will to fight was very tenacious and their riding skills were very good. Under the constant urging of the trumpets, after being frightened and dispersed, they regrouped into groups while running and charged intensively towards several bridges.

However, the thickness of the formation was obviously no longer good, and it had changed from a sharp arrow formation to something different between a sharp arrow and a long snake. It was even cut into several pieces by the rhythmic Fulu artillery.

The Xia people's selfless charge, apart from adding corpses and blood stains to the snow nearly a hundred meters outside the river canal, could not prevent the orderly erection of several bridges.

Finally, the first van crossed the canal on the temporary bridge, followed closely by the second, third…

There are three temporary bridges, and the vans pass over them in an orderly manner, and then cross them to form a bridgehead.

The soldiers in the canal got into the fort and started to attack the Xia people with the help of vans.

The Xia people on the opposite side began to despair, and the largest cavalry force rushed out from Zhuangzi, with a large blue banner in the middle.

Wang Junwan, who had been standing next to Su You observing the battle, waved the small flag in his hand: "Target area No. 1, a verification bomb, fire!"

Boom! The thirty thunder cannons on the top of the slope finally began to show off their power!

Across the way, in the Xia army's formation in front of Zhuangzi, it was like a tsunami made of mud and snow suddenly occurred!

Su You's eardrums were buzzing, but he heard Wang Junwan continue to shout: "Based on the No. 5 gun position mark, freely adjust up and down three times, five rounds of rapid fire, fire!"

In the position beside the river, the generals Gao Zunyu and Li Ruoyu ignored their orders and turned to look at the dense fire and rumbling thunder erupting from the hills in the distance behind them.

Li Ruoyu sighed: "I have seen salvos from naval ships, but I didn't expect them to be so shocking on land!"

Countless Tibetan servants saw the terrifying scene of thunder and lightning on the hills. They were so frightened that they prostrated themselves in worship.

Li Wenzhao's heart was pounding. He first adjusted his gaze back to the banner of the Xia army's desperate charge on the other side of the river, and sighed sadly.

The era of the cavalry is over. My own era has fallen before it even begins.

One hundred and fifty thunderbolt shells, in just one minute, all fell into the Xia Formation in front of Zhuangzi, who was preparing for an attack by the entire army!

The strong sound from the roar of heavy artillery still lingered in the eardrums, making the explosion sound after the distant artillery shells landed seemed extremely weak.

In Su You's field of vision, countless flowers seemed to suddenly bloom on the snow in front of Zhuangzi in the distance.

The blooming time of each flower is very short, but you can see it very clearly.

First, stamens appeared from the ground, with mixed yellow and white stamens. Then a circle of petals suddenly appeared around the stamens. Then the petals bloomed rapidly at a speed far exceeding the growth of the stamens, and petals bloomed in that area.

Overlapping white flowers.

It was the dust pillars and air waves mixed with mud and snow caused by the explosion. Under such a huge energy release, the human and horse bodies, weapons, armors, horse gear, flags and drums in the Xia army were scattered in all directions without any resistance.

.

Su You saw with his own eyes that a majestic horse was struck like a beating porcelain ball by several rounds of artillery fire, and was finally torn into two pieces alive!

The strong sound in the ears finally disappeared, and the Xia army formation concentrated in front, together with half of Zhuangzi, also disappeared. What was left was only the rumbling echo in the open canyon.

From the river canal to Zhuangzi, from the middle to the edge, Xia Jun's corpses changed from sparse to dense, creating a strange picture.

Just like a huge folding fan, Zhuangzi is the handle of the fan, the route the Xia cavalry ran is the fan bone, and the edge of the canal is the edge of the folding fan.

This is a picture of a folding fan made up of the bones of tens of thousands of horses and horses. On the fan, there are countless panicked ant-like surviving cavalry and horses running back and forth.

The carriage moved and pressed towards Zhuangzi at the handle of the fan. The soldiers in the carriage and the gray-robed sergeant following behind the carriage became new ink stains on the fan.

The gray lines are orderly and firm, while the black dots are chaotic and panicky.

Su You put down the telescope and said to Wang Junwan beside him: "Remove the fuse, pack up the position, it's time to continue setting off."

On October 20, Gao Zunyu and Su You led the central army through the Lingzhou River to the south bank of the Yellow River and the farming area north of the Dry Sea. At Wuma Crossing, they completely wiped out the 70,000 Xia people who came to set up formations to block them.

The Song army only lost five people and injured more than 30 people in the process of clearing the battlefield, creating the largest war exchange ratio in history.

The commander-in-chief of Shuoqing Army in Xixia, Li Jueweiming, the deputy commander-in-chief, Ma Chengchilu, the military supervisor Liang Fengen, as well as the three shogunate and bodyguards, were all killed in battle!

The new army of the Imperial Song Dynasty officially entered the stage of history with its unstoppable high-spirited attitude and brilliant achievements!

The army in the middle, with the help of the science and engineering team led by Su You, first crossed the three hundred miles of dry sea and arrived at the outskirts of Lingzhou City.

The army also did not rush forward. After helping Gao Guojiu reach Xiping Mansion first and destroy 70,000 enemies, Su You transformed into an old dog again.

The emergence of the canal was a signal that made Su You feel very uncomfortable. Su You knew very well how Gao Zunyu defeated Lingzhou City in history.

After entering the farming area, Su You asked Gao Zunyu to keep advancing no matter what. He must send troops along the river channel to the mouth of the gorge to check the situation there first.

Gao Zunyu was extremely annoyed by Su You, and it happened that the army needed two days to clear up the results of the battle, so he sent Cao Nan to lead a thousand men to investigate northwest along the river.

The result soon came that Xia and a small group of Song troops were fighting at the mouth of the northwest gorge. Cao Nan made a prompt decision and led the Qianzhen national army to attack the Xia army from the rear. He also ordered Pegasus to report and asked for reinforcements.

Gao Zunyu was dumbfounded after receiving the urgent report. Where did the Song army on the edge of the Yellow River come from?
