Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 255 Complete Annihilation Continued

At this moment, in the northwest direction, more than 50 miles away, more than 7,000 Xixia soldiers are on their way.

These more than 7,000 Western Xia soldiers are the same group that escaped from that gap before! They were extremely anxious and terrified, and they were rushing desperately. But even so, a day passed, and they had only traveled more than fifty miles.

They were really exhausted. Beside Brother Li Cha, a soldier was running vigorously. Suddenly, the soldier fell to the ground. Blood spurted out of his mouth. His eyes, ears, Blood was pouring out of the noses. He just lay on the ground like this, no longer breathing!

"This..." Brother Li Cha was taken aback for a moment. He hurriedly got off his horse and held the soldier's hand. After a while, a sad expression appeared on his face. He knew that the soldier was dead. Because he was too exhausted, the soldier was "tired" to death!

Along the way, he had seen this happen several times. Hundreds of people have been exhausted to death. They either fell to the ground and couldn't move after running, or they were too tired to lie on the ground, and their heartbeat stopped after a while.

"General Li, this time we have suffered extremely heavy losses." Li Renli said with tears in his eyes as he followed Brother Li Cha.

"Yes! The loss is extremely serious! I am afraid that the 300,000 troops behind have been completely wiped out by the Han people! In addition to the losses in Hongzhou, Youzhou, and Yanzhou, nearly 400,000 soldiers of our Xixia have died in the Han. hands!" Brother Li Cha gritted his teeth.

"400,000 people! The total strength of our Western Xia army is less than 500,000 people." Li Renli gritted his teeth.

"That's right, our Xixia army has lost all their lives and injuries this time. We Xixia no longer have an army. We can no longer stop the Han people. I'm afraid our Xixia is really going to perish this time." Brother Li Cha's face showed grief expression, said.

"National subjugation? How is it possible? Didn't we say before that we would attack Guanshan from three sides and obtain the land in Guanshan? How is it possible to subjugate the country?" Li Renli said in a daze.

"I don't want to do that either! But, we are really facing national subjugation." Brother Li Cha said painfully.

"Brother Cha, it's all your fault! As the commander-in-chief, you actually killed the entire army of 300,000 main forces. You deserve death!" Li Renli shouted violently.

He looked at Brother Li Cha angrily, wishing he could tear Brother Li Cha to pieces on the spot.

"You two, now is not the time to quarrel." Wanyan Zong said dryly.

It's just that although Wanyan Zongqian opened his mouth, Li Renli didn't pay any attention to him at this moment! The country was about to perish, how could he care about an outsider, he just looked at Brother Li Cha angrily, and hated Brother Li Cha very much.

"You said, what should I do? More than 100,000 Chinese troops invaded Hongzhou, Yanzhou, and Youzhou. Could I not rescue them? Those who fled back at that time were talking about hundreds of thousands of troops. It is said that the Han people took down Hongzhou and Youzhou in almost one or two hours. Under such circumstances, can I go to the east without bringing an army of 300,000? If it were you, what would you do? Don’t you go to the rescue? The east? Are you watching all the cities in the east fall? Besides, this is His Majesty's order!" Brother Richard said.

"This..." Li Renli was startled, and stayed there.

"The Han people suddenly attacked Xingqing Mansion, what can I do? Can I not go to the rescue? Didn't you say before that if I don't go to rescue Xingqing Mansion, you will take over my position as the general, but that's the case? And you You also asked me to give up all my food, supplies, and travel lightly, and rush to Xingqing Mansion in the shortest possible time, but that's it?" Brother Li Cha said.

"This..." Li Renli was stunned again.

"If it was you, surrounded by three armies, and the army was exhausted to the extreme, would you be able to defeat the Song army?" Brother Li Cha said.

Li Renli was speechless.

"The strategy of the Han people is really beyond imagination. In the face of such a strategy, no one can resist it. We have already lost since General Chage led an army of 300,000 to Yanzhou City. But we have to To save Yanzhou City, we can't sit back and watch all the cities in the east be captured by the Song people. Stop complaining to each other. You should think about how to keep Xixia?" Wanyan Zong said dryly.

Wanyan Zongqian was also extremely panicked at the moment.

He never thought that Song Jun's strategy was so powerful. Such a scheme is almost impossible to defeat. He didn't know who in the Song Army formulated such a strategy, it was simply incredible. Moreover, the strength of the Song army far exceeded his expectations. Halfway before, when they came into contact with Song Jun, he felt that Song Jun was hardly under the Jurchens. He still remembered that when Jin Bing just went south to the Central Plains, the Song Army was weak and in a mess, but it was only five years since Kaifeng was broken. In five years, the Song Army has undergone such a big change. Facing such Song Jun, he even suspected that the Jurchens were no match.

"No! Absolutely not! Our Jurchens are invincible in the world! The Han people will eventually be conquered by us." Wanyan Zongqian secretly encouraged himself.

At this moment, he no longer dared to despise the Han people in his heart. He used to regard the Han people as an inferior race, but now he no longer has such thoughts.

"We have to rush back to Xingqing Mansion immediately and let His Majesty prepare. No, Xingqing Mansion is not an opponent of the hundreds of thousands of Song troops. I want His Majesty to move the capital immediately to the Liangzhou area. After arriving there, His Majesty will Be safe." Brother Li Cha said.

"That's right, that's exactly what it should be! Also, although we only have more than 7,000 people left this time, these 7,000 people are real elites, and we want to bring them all back." Li Renli said.

Brother Li Cha nodded.

"May God bless Xixia." Brother Li Cha secretly said.

The snow was still falling non-stop, and after walking for another three or four miles, brother Li Cha suddenly felt something was wrong.

It was too quiet around here, not a single sound could be heard. It stands to reason that although the Gobi is desolate, there are some animals, especially some wild wolves and foxes, etc., and their voices can be heard more or less anywhere. But at this moment, there was no sound, only the sound of their Xixia army rushing on their way.

"Brother Cha, I feel something is wrong." Li Renli said sharply.

Li Renli's words made Brother Li Cha's heart skip a beat.

"Is there an ambush?" Wanyan Zongqian also felt that the surrounding environment was a bit strange at the moment, so he said immediately.

The moment his voice just came out, shouts of killing came from all directions!

There are a full 20,000 cavalry stuck here, I don't know how long they have been waiting for!

It turned out that just last night, Liu Kai offered a strategy, and then Liu Kai personally led 20,000 cavalry to the northwest, in order to intercept the fleeing Xixia army. He has been waiting here for several hours, and they have been resting and vigilant. Now they finally got the enemy.

In the Song Army, almost all the cavalry were the best of the best! Because of the lack of horses, the number of cavalry is very small, and those who can enter the cavalry ranks are the best soldiers in the army!

One side is the elite Song army who is waiting for work, and the other is the Xixia fatigue army who has not rested for eight days and nights. People are constantly "tired" to death along the way. The result of the war can be imagined.

The 20,000 Song Army cavalry divided more than 7,000 Xixia soldiers into three sections and massacred them in sections.

It only took half an hour, the seven thousand Xixia soldiers were wiped out, only a few dozen people could escape at most.

*** ***

After the 7,000 Xixia remnants were wiped out, Liu Kai did not stop, and immediately led 20,000 cavalry towards Xingqing Mansion.

In the early morning of the second day, the infantry of the 100,000 Jingyuan Army and the 30,000 Huanqing Army also headed towards Xingqing Mansion.

The 100,000 Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army and 10,000 Imperial Battalion soldiers stopped here. They also did not rest for several days and nights, and the soldiers were exhausted to the extreme. Even if their physical fitness exceeds that of Xixia soldiers, they still need to rest at this time, at least they can no longer rush around day and night like this. Before, the rush was to achieve military goals and to force the enemy to be exhausted, but now at least it is not as urgent as before.

The soldiers rarely slept well.

In the afternoon, they began to clean the battlefield.

They first searched for the bodies of their comrades-in-arms, and then buried the bodies of their comrades in the Gobi Desert.

Next is the disposal of the corpses of the 300,000 Xixia soldiers.

They dug countless big pits on the Gobi, threw all the corpses of Xixia soldiers into the big pits, and then buried those big pits with soil.

Occasionally, when they saw Xixia soldiers who were still alive, they also indifferently threw these Xixia soldiers into the big pit and buried them with soil. Those Xixia soldiers who did not die completely would surely die in this way.

Yu Yunwen saw a Xixia soldier whose face was covered with blood. The Xixia soldier's fingers were still moving slightly, but the soldiers of the Northern Shaanxi Imperial Army still threw him into the pit, ready to bury him. The Xixia soldier struggled to open his eyes, his eyes were full of begging, but the soldiers of the Northern Shaanxi Imperial Army next to him ignored it at all.

Yu Yunwen almost wanted to stop the soldiers of the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army. He was about to go up, when a voice suddenly came from beside him: "Do you think it's cruel?"

Yu Yunwen was taken aback for a moment, turned around only to find Zhao Chen coming, immediately saluted, and said, "See Your Majesty!"

It was Zhao Chen who appeared behind him. Zhao Chen nodded and said, "War is so cruel! Either we kill the enemy, or the enemy kills us! This time we fought into the territory of Xixia, and we won the victory." The victory of the war, so this time we killed the enemy! But have you ever thought about what would happen if foreigners entered the territory of our Great Song Dynasty? What kind of treatment will our people in the Great Song Dynasty suffer? How many soldiers will we die? , how many people?"

Yu Yunwen sighed softly, and said: "I understand! If foreigners enter the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, the people of our Great Song Dynasty will also be tortured. At that time, the Liao Kingdom was in the north, and every year they would come to the grass valley. Every time they beat the grass valley, Our Han people either died hundreds or thousands of people. For hundreds of years, this kind of threshing valley has happened every year, sometimes once or twice a year, sometimes even dozens of times a year. The Jurchens invaded the Central Plains, and the people of the Central Plains also The casualties were heavy. The original 100,000 family troops have been wiped out, and many cities have been wiped out by the Jurchens."

Zhao Chen said: "Yes! In fact, it's more than these! Back then, the Huns and Turks also killed countless Han people! If... I mean, if I didn't ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor, let Zhao Gou's trash become my Great Song Dynasty. Lord, at that time the Han people will perish, and more than half of the Han people will die under the iron hooves of foreigners.”

Yu Yunwen was taken aback, and said: "Is this impossible? We have a population of 10 million in the Song Dynasty, and it is impossible for foreigners to kill more than half of the population."

A sneer appeared on Zhao Chen's face! If the history remains unchanged, when the Mongols invaded, they continued to massacre the city, and more than 50 million Han people died. At that time, the population of Han people was less than 80 million. The Yuan Dynasty was established, and the Han people became the fourth class. The Mongols could oppress the Han people. Any foreigner who entered the Central Plains, including Hacilu, Qincha, Tangwu, Asu, Tuba, Kangli, Kulilu, and Ciqi Ai, Chiqiai, Weiwuwu, Huihui, Naimanai, A'erhun, etc. are all above the Han people and can oppress the Han people. At that time, the Han people really became the most humble people in the world. Any foreigner could step on the head of the Han people. To kill a Han person, you only need to pay a fine equivalent to a donkey. Ordinary Han people are not allowed to have their own names. All are named after the date of birth. When Zhu Yuanzhang was born, his name was Zhu Chongba. The taxation of the Han people was extremely heavy, more than half. As long as there were floods and droughts, countless Han people would starve to death. Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang led the rebel army to defeat the Mongols and established the Ming Dynasty. However, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens rose again and established the Qing Dynasty. During the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, more than tens of millions of Han people died. After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the "hair shaving order" was implemented, claiming that "keep the head but not the hair, keep the hair but not the head". , especially the Han people in Jiading rebelled against the hair-shaving order. The Qing army massacred Jiading three times from June to August, and almost all the people in Jiading died. In modern times, people from Dongying, who were originally a humble and small country, could also invade mainland China. More than 30 million Chinese people died, and there are still 300,000 innocent souls in Nanjing City.

At this moment, it is naturally impossible for Zhao Chen to tell all the history of later generations, he just sneered, and it is inconvenient for Yu Yunwen to ask more questions! However, Yu Yunwen's feeling of "compassion for heaven and earth and people" in his heart has decreased a lot. When he thinks that if these Xixia troops break into the territory of Song Dynasty, the people of Song Dynasty will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and he no longer has any psychological burden.

"I am not a person who kills indiscriminately! But on the battlefield, there is really no room for mercy! If these 300,000 Xixia soldiers do not die, how will we treat them? Send troops to watch them? But we still have to gather all the troops to attack Xingqing Mansion! When we attack Xingqing Mansion, will they take the opportunity to resist? Will they hinder us? That is inevitable! We only have 250,000 soldiers and horses to enter Xixia, and the two The 150,000 soldiers and horses cannot all be wasted here. We still have to attack Jurchen and King Kang. We can’t consume too much strength when we destroy Xixia! So the best way is to wipe them all out while they are at their weakest. All hidden dangers! Yu Yunwen, do you think this makes sense?" Zhao Chen said.

"I understand!" Yu Yunwen nodded and said.

"Very good! Let the army stay here for three days. After three days, let's go to Xingqing Mansion!" Zhao Chen said.
