From the map, the border between the Song and Xia borders of Huanqing Road and the Fuyan Road formed an irregular "l" shape, and the turning point was Pingrong Town. But there was one particularly noticeable place, that is Dashun City. Its back is Rouyuan Village and Liyuan Fort, like a sharp triangular bayonet, standing suddenly on the border.

But its geographical location is extremely important. It is located at the mouth of the two rivers in the north, along the Wuchuan Ancient Road in the east, directly to Qingzhou City and Fengchuan Town, and to the west, from Houqiaobaochuan Road to Beishan Muling. The ancient road was separated from Xixia in the Song Dynasty.

But the Xixia people did not admit it. A few years later, the Liang family crossed the Chimuling and built the Twelve Panbao City. Li Fugui sent Li Xin to send troops, resulting in the Second Battle of Dashun City. After a little while, Li Xin's entire army was wiped out and made contributions. Under the siege of hundreds of thousands of Xia troops, a fortress in Qingzhou was not lost. But Li Fugui was sad, and some ministers said that it was the place of the Xixia people. It was not considered to be the territory of the Song Dynasty, but it was also considered a free land area and a buffer zone between the two countries.

To the east is within Huachi County, to the west is Rouyuan Village, and there are great roads leading to them. Therefore, a city in hand has almost become the most important barrier between Huachi County and Rouyuan Village.

Moreover, the geographical conditions were good. The two rivers converged and there was a large flat area of ​​river valleys. Therefore, officials of the Song Dynasty later expanded them one after another.

The current Dashun City is divided into two cities in the north and south, covering an area of ​​almost 700 to 800 acres. The southern city is divided into two places, divided into the garrisons of officers and soldiers and foreign soldiers. The west of the city is the Wuchuan Ancient Road, and it can reach Fengchuan Town, Rouyuanzhai and Qingzhou City.

Both cities are built on the west mountain. The city walls start from the flat river and extend to the top of the west mountain. The two rivers make trenches on the north and southeast sides are actually three relatively wide moats.

Last year, only the people in the front line of Liyuan Fort, Xinjiang Fort, and Rouyuan Village migrated last year, but the foreigners in the rear of Dashun City did not move. They were sandwiched between Liyuan Fort and Dashun City, with Liyuan Fort cover behind, and Dashun City resisted in front, and there was no need for anyone to migrate. Unless there was an exception, such as the present...

On the Jieyi Peak, Li Liangzuo looked at Dashun City.

"Why don't your father want such a fertile and dangerous place?" Li Liangzuo asked.

"Your Majesty, Fan Zhongyan robbed our Mapu Village and built a city here. The late emperor was fighting with the Song people in Dingchuan Village. Later, he defeated the Song people, and the Liao Kingdom became a feud with our country. Under the pressure of the two countries, the late emperor signed a peace agreement with the Song Dynasty. As for the boundary of Qingzhou, the Song people took advantage of our dynasty to fight against the Liao Kingdom, and the Song people occupied Houqiao, Twelve Pan, Jiaohao Fort and other places. The late emperor sent people to build the old fort. The Song people dug trenches on the front line as the boundary. Then they had a dispute over the western boundary of Fengzhou and Quyehe, and the boundary of Qingzhou was put on hold. So strictly speaking, they still belong to the territory of my Daxia." An eunuch behind him replied.

Li Liangzuo said nothing, but looked up at the east.

The eunuch was very clever and immediately changed his words: "The great country is good, and those with virtue are here. The three former emperors cut the thorns and broke through the thorns and created the great mountains and rivers of our Great Xia. Now the Tubo Jiao Silu is dead. The sick emperor of the Song Dynasty did not distinguish between severity and did not regard the succession of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty as a result of the succession of the throne, which triggered the Puyi dispute. The court collapsed and financial difficulties were difficult. It was the time when His Majesty expanded the territory and expanded our Western Xia territory."

What this eunuch said does exist in some sense.

First, Li Jiqian forced Xixia to seize the Lingzhou and Yinchuan Plain.

Later, Li Deming was acquainted with the Song Dynasty. In fact, it was still an opportunity at that time, and how amazing it was when Emperor Zhenzong of Song ascended the throne. To put it too exaggeratedly, even Emperor Xiaozong of Song was far inferior to Emperor Zhenzong of Song. But a city alliance was over. Emperor Zhenzong of Song was ambitious and ended together. Li Deming fought with the Tubo Uighurs, so let them fight. As a result, Li Deming got the Hexi Corridor.

Li Yuanhao opened his territory not large, but he also opened it. After conquering Fengzhou, he surrendered with the Beihetao tribes. From then on, all the North and South Hetao were controlled by the people of Xixia. Of course, his greatest contribution was to defeat the Song army repeatedly and defeating the Liao Kingdom, making Xixia officially a country.

Li Liangzuo looked at it for a long time and went down Jieyi Peak. Then he came to the trench in Dashun City.

At this time, Dashun City had not yet built a water village. In addition, the autumn waters were first flat, and it was a trench and actually two small rivers, with relatively shallow water.

It was not until the Battle of Dashun City that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty realized this problem, so they built a water dam to block the water and raised the water level of the two rivers. However, in that case, they had to build a water village to guard the water dam. In short, they did not attack but defend, but were very passive...

Li Liangzuo looked at these two small rivers. The soil and soil in Qingzhou were pretty good. In addition, the autumn rains were still there and there was no mountain torrent. The river water immediately became clear and the water level was low. Therefore, you could almost see pebbles at the bottom of the river, floating water plants, and even swimming fish.

"There is not much mud, mostly sand and pebbles..." Li Liangzuo said happily.

So he returned to the central camp tent and said, "Prepare for attack."

At this time, Zhong Zhi, Zhang Feng and the soldiers on the top of the city were also watching the enemy.

Cai Ting could not come to Dashun City to supervise the battle himself, and he still needed his command in the rear. But now Cai Ting is gradually paying great attention to Zhang Ting. Whether Dashun City can be defended is the key to the key, so he also sent Zhang Ting.

Instructor Huang said, "How many soldiers and horses have come to Xixia?"

"It will not be less than 100,000." Zhongdian said lowly.

This is not the Hebei Plain. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers came and camped everywhere, from low hills to flat river valleys, nowhere to be seen.

"Don't be afraid. I just looked carefully for a long time. Although the number of enemies is huge, they can see their military disciplines confusing just by looking at the camp. Why did Zhuge Liang retreat? Sima Yi sees the camp left by Zhuge Liang and is called the genius of the world? This is why." Zhang Qi said.

If the camp cannot be established well, don’t talk about military discipline. Without military discipline, how can an army be powerful?

He continued: "In fact, the current dispute between Song and Xia is very similar to the dispute between Wei and Shu back then. Zhuge Liang is the main attacker and Sima Yi is the main defense. Although Sima Yi seems to be ineffective, because Shu is narrow, Shu will eventually be tortured to death. The shallow attack tactics I and Wang Zi'an are the replica of Sima Yi's tactics back then."

Who is better, Sima Yi or Zhuge Liang?

It’s really hard to say. On the surface, Zhuge Liang should be more powerful. Shu Kingdom is smaller, but he beat Sima Yi so hard that he dared not fight back. Wouldn’t he be stronger?

In fact, it may not be. Zhuge Liang has only one opponent. What kind of fear can Cao Wei and Xiao A Dou bring to him? Even if he voluntarily requested demotion, would any minister and soldier in Shu dare not obey his orders?

However, Sima Yi was much more difficult and could not really fight. He was very successful and would definitely shock the master, and he had to fight, so that the government and the people would see his results. It was so difficult to master this kind of measure. Therefore, in the Three Kingdoms, he was in the most difficult situation compared to Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun, the two coaches, who were in the most difficult situation.

So Zhuge Liang once said: "Sima Yi is the only one who has been in his life."

It was a kind of praise, a kind of fear, or a kind of faint fear...

What Sima Yi is thinking? Zhang Feng and Wang Ju won’t think about it. Zhang Feng’s thinking may be a little simpler. That is to make achievements. Wang Ju’s thinking is much more complicated. He wants to be a super powerful minister, so he can’t do things without doing anything like this.

If he doesn't do anything, then what follows will happen will inevitably perish. The demise of the Northern Song Dynasty is not the last of the Song Dynasty, but the last of the entire nation. At least before the Song Dynasty, no one nomadic people replaced the entire China. As long as they recover slightly, they will immediately become the center of the world.

Then look at the Qing Dynasty. It cannot be said that the Qing Dynasty is useless. The territory of the Qing Dynasty may not be as strong as the peak of the Tang Dynasty. But behind this achievement, Ji Xiaolan's "Notes on Yuewei Caotang" has a story that said that a Zhejiang man was good at competing with Westerners and had invented a bird system that sent twenty-eight consecutive shots and wanted to offer it to the military camp. At night, someone scolded him and said that God was alive. If you offer this weapon to spread the world, your descendants will have no other species. He was so scared that he dared to report it up.

This God is not the God of Westerners. In ancient China, the term "God" was a long time ago, God of Heaven, the monarch of heaven!

This is a story, but in fact, this is true. The inventor is from Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and his name is Dai Zi.

In the 13th year of Kangxi, Geng Jingzhong rebelled, and Dai Zi presented his 28 consecutive fire throne to the court. In fact, it was machine guns, which were far better than similar Western firearms. Not only did there be machine guns, but later he invented mother-child cannons, which played a huge role in pacifying Galdan. Kangxi praised it greatly and personally named it General Weiyuan Cannon. Then Dai Zi's final fate was "often "hide to lie on a cold kang at night, and step on ice in the early morning to pick up hazelnuts to cure hunger."

After the war stopped, Kangxi hid them deep in the arsenal, and others dared not ask about it. Dai Zi also died in depression, but he did not understand the key. Why did Kangxi treat him like this?

Is Kangxi stupid?

I'm afraid that the most determined nationalists dare not say that Kangxi is incompetent. The truth is that the number of Manchus is very small, and it is very difficult to control the Han people. Once these weapons spread, they can quickly replace the Manchus' cavalry advantage and lead to the demise of the Qing Dynasty.

This is just a back view. To further analyze, ethnic minorities control China, either act recklessly like Yuan Meng and die quickly, or learn to prevent like the Qing Dynasty. It is backward civilization replacing advanced civilization. Even if it is as dark as the Ming Dynasty, technology is still improving rapidly, but what about the Qing Dynasty?

Therefore, the Northern Song Dynasty was a huge turning point.

This is Wang Juyuan's goal, and his future opponents are no less difficult than Xixia. However, Wang Ju doesn't care. He doesn't do his best, so he has to say that once a person dies, he will have to worry about the flood.

After Zhang Qi finished speaking, everyone's heart was a little calmer.

But this was also what he said, and in fact he was thinking in his heart that Western Xia was like Shu, not as good as Shu, but the Song Dynasty was even worse than Cao Wei.

Zhong Zhi continued to stare at the enemy, also at Li Liangzuo, and then asked in a low voice: "Officer Zhang Tui, do you want to let go?"

"No, the correct head is not good, drag it down again, drag it until the Xixia soldiers are at the city."

This refers to the new trencher plus fire thorns, and the range can be achieved. If a beheading operation occurs, the credit will be greatly improved. However, correction is still the most important problem of this era. When this release, God knows where the fire thorns are thrown? If it cannot be killed, it will alarm the people of Xixia.

After thinking about it, I agreed. It was not the only opportunity. A fierce battle came soon, and there were opportunities.

So he continued to pay attention to Li Liangzuo's actions. Li Liangzuo went back. Zhong Zhi turned his head and said to Zhao Ming: "General Zhao, you can go to the battlefield."

"good."

The old Fan general Zhao Ming brought nearly a thousand Fan soldiers to the river and set up a bow.

Li Liangzuo was about to discuss with everyone how to mobilize troops to attack Dashun City. Seeing Zhao Ming's actions, he laughed in silence: "This group of people who forgot their ancestors and backed their sects really don't know how to die."

He said again: "Menme, you will immediately rush across the river and intercept them."

Dashun City is built near the mountain, so there is still a distance from the city wall to the riverside. The river water is shallow, let alone war horses, even people can easily walk through it. Although there are trenches, it will not affect the sprint of the cavalry.

Zhao Ming led a group of foreign soldiers to form a formation in front of the trench. They were dismounted. As long as the cavalry rushed over, they would not have time to escape, so Xixia would get the first good start.

"Here." Manmei replied loudly.

He cooperated with Li Liangzuo to kill Mozang Epang, and now he is popular in Xixia.

After receiving his order, Manme immediately ordered five thousand cavalrymen, then quickly turned over to the horse, raised the Xia Guojian in his hand and said, "My sons, your Majesty will personally supervise the battle. Don't embarrass us Daxia. Take out your courage, take out your BMW, take out the great sword in your hand, and kill me."

As he said that, he led the five thousand cavalry quickly rushed towards the trench. (To be continued)
