The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

In order to preserve the physical strength, the Xia army was ready to implement the strategy of "internal and external response, center blossoming, and fighting in the river in one battle". In addition to fixed-point and timely patrols, the entire army dug wild vegetables, dig tree roots, stroke leaves, go down the river to catch fish, and go up the mountain to hunt.

, strive to fill your stomach.

After Zhao Xiao decided on the strategy of "silently and calmly, he just kept adjusting the fortifications, digging trenches and repairing villages, strengthening defense forces, and mobilizing food and grass. It seems that he is going to fight a protracted war with the Xia army and repairing the granary in Hexi.

One after another, like a hill, as if it was about to be ready to spend the winter here. And with the completion of defense measures, the Xia army, who was good at riding and shooting and charging, became a woman with small feet, and its range of activities was shrinking.

The Song army now gathers in Zhuilunchuan. With the foreign soldiers and archers who cooperate in combat, the total number of troops reached 50,000. It has surpassed the Xia army for the first time since the war started. It has eaten, drank and not worked every day. Zhao Qi

His mind became active again. While he was training troops, he began to harass the Xia army.

Zhao Qi ordered the main force of the army to hold the camp and block all the intersections from Sichuan. Even if it is only allowed to ride alone, soldiers will be sent to patrol regularly; then the departments sent small groups of troops to harass the Xia army day and night, so that they will not be at peace.

The assault troops were on standby and waited for an opportunity to come out when the Xia army was tired, which often made the Xia army in a hurry. When they were ready to counterattack, the Song army, who had caught a handful of troops, withdrew back to the camp and did not fight hard with them.

The Xia army was so angry that it was full of soldiers and could no longer find food. Who knows which attack from the Song army was real? They could only wait for the battle every day to guard the battle!

The soldiers were coming and going on the battlefield and they were having a lot of fun. However, Zhao Xin found that the prince hiding in Liangu City was not happy. He often sat in the yard in a daze, and sat for a long time until the sun set and the stars were full.

The genius went back to the house to sleep sadly, but often tossed and turned all night, which made him worry, wondering if the prince had something to worry about?

... ...

'Mu Usu' is a Mongolian word, which means a place where no grass grows. However, Xiazhou City is built on the southern edge of the Mu Usu Gobi, on the north bank of the Hongliu River in the upper reaches of the Wuding River. In ancient times, this area had abundant water and grass and pleasant scenery.

It is both a good pasture and a fertile land. However, with the increase of population and excessive development, coupled with climate change and war, the ground vegetation was completely lost and sand was raised on the spot. There was sand accumulation in the Tang Dynasty, and in the Song Dynasty

More serious.

In the early Song Dynasty, Xiazhou City was already deep in the desert. With the earthquake damage and the city was destroyed, Li Jiqian rebelled and used it as the capital, but then moved to Lingzhou and Xingzhou. In addition to political factors, Xiazhou's natural conditions were harsh.

, environmental changes are also an important factor. With the capital being moved, Xiazhou's political status continued to decline, becoming an ordinary prefecture and county in Xixia.

Xiazhou has always been a major transportation route from Guanzhong to Mobei. Every summer, many merchants have access to it. Banjing Post is the last post station from Fengzhou to Xiazhou, so a large number of business travelers gather.

'When the wind is high and the fire is dark, the moon is dark and the night is killing people'. It is the end of the month, and the wind is high and there is no moon. A group of 'thieves' raided the post station, and everyone was gathered on the open space of the post station, and there were about a hundred people holding long hands around.

The sword surrounded them. The caravan walked outside all year round, and it was normal to encounter thieves. There were many brave people among these people, but now they all lost the courage to resist and squatted there dejectedly.

"I don't want to make things difficult for everyone. As long as you don't resist, we will ensure the safety of your lives and property. But if you resist, make some small moves in private, those people will end up!" Under the torch, Wang Heng, commander of the Desert Camp of the Zhongyong Army, used the long-term in his hand

The sword slashed his lower body and said with a ferocious look. The murderous aura made everyone shiver. They looked at the more than ten still steaming corpses lying beside them, lowering their heads and piercing them into their crotch...

.

"Commander, the entire station has been controlled, and no one has escaped!" a man ran to the speaker and whispered.

"Okay, Zhou Dutou, please inform the Dutou immediately, inform Banjingyi that it has been controlled by our department and you can enter!" Wang Heng nodded and said.

"Commander, what should these people do? Is it as usual?" Zhou Li ordered a man to go down and deliver the letter. He glanced at the hundreds of people squatting on the ground, and said with a gesture of wiping his neck.

"No need, let's do less murder. These people are all businessmen. Find a yard to lock them up. As long as they don't run away, don't make things difficult for them!" Wang Heng shook his head and said.

"Ah?!" Zhou Li said as if he didn't understand, looked at the commander's face again, and confirmed that he had no other intentions, so he ordered people to drive them to a courtyard to set up a guard post.

"Dutao, does the commander want us to deal with them here?" After closing the door, he approached Zhou Li and asked alone, looking at the armband, he knew that he was a captain.

"Nonsense, look at them well, run away, and put your head on!" Zhou Li said with a glaring eyes, but he was also wondering, how did the commander-in-chief's god change his nature today and become a Bodhisattva.

No wonder my subordinates thought too much that after the division of troops, the Desert Camp entered the desert and served as a vanguard. In addition to normal service, they also had to carry out tasks such as exploring the way and finding camps.

Along the way, in order to keep the secret, they could not walk through the traditional 'green corridor', but kept walking in the depths of the desert, avoiding the crowds they might encounter, but they were inevitably faced with the patrol Xia army soldiers, lost caravans, and troops.

They also need to replenish drinking water, search for forage for war horses and camels, so the person they met had only one end, that is death. This is how they fought along the way, facing unarmed old, weak, women and children, and begging merchants,

I have never seen the commander soft-hearted, but today I said this!

The large group of people quickly entered Banjing Post. Livestock were scattered in the surrounding woods and people entered the post station. So the streets of the town were full of soldiers. The people and merchants in the town wanted to go out to see what happened, but they were all ordered to go out and be stunned.

No one is allowed to go out at home. All the guard posts sent by the scout camp were replaced with Xia Jun's clothes. They carefully checked the people entering the alert area. They were not allowed to leave without any problems. They all found a place to lock them up, only allowed to enter and not leave.

.

"The commander-in-chief, wash your face!" Wang Heng asked Zhao Ren to an independent courtyard and called a basin of water with his own hands.

"Wait, is the water here enough for the whole army to drink?" Zhao Ren retracted his hand and stood up and asked.

"Don't worry, there is a river passing by here, not only is it enough for people to drink, but even horses and camels can eat and drink enough!" Wang Heng said with a smile. After half a month, the army has strictly used water as soon as it enters the desert.

The restrictions are that the drinking water supplied from top to bottom are treated equally, including the Supreme Leader Zhao Ren. The water supplied is not enough, let alone washing your face.

"Haha, I'm sick when I sit down. Looking at the water in the basin, the first thing I think of is not washing my face, but drinking the water!" Zhao Ren licked his lips and smiled embarrassedly.

"I have ordered people to make tea and prepare meals. Let's enjoy it today. Thank you for your hard work these days!" Wang Heng felt aroused. During these days, everyone often stayed in the ancient dynasty left by the previous dynasty.

The barriers of the Changyuan, abandoned castle levels, and even the sand ridges of the wastelands face endless yellow sand every day, distant journeys and unbearable hunger. In order to carry more ammunition, their supplies are compressed invented by the prince.

Wang Heng had tasted dry food, the taste of that kind in the capital, and the water you can find is often bitter and salty water, which is limited. Not everyone can drink it every time, it is often the first one.

When people drink, the people behind can only wait until the next drinking water point...

"Wang Heng, you have learned to be polite now. I remember when we were training in Beifu, we were all eating in the same pot. We are all brothers. Why are you polite? I'll call Zhao Yong, Zhao Zhong and others later.

Let's eat together, everyone is greedy. The thing that the prince invented is okay to fill his stomach, but eating it often is really unbearable!" Zhao Ren said with a wry smile.

"Haha, think about it at that time, I felt like yesterday. I trained with the prince every day, and I would be punished if I didn't do it well. I felt very hard at that time, but now I think back to it, it is the happiest time we have... I don't know the prince

How is it now? He only has half of his troops, but he has to face Brother Cha's army of 100,000. I am really worried!" Wang Heng looked at Zhao Ren and said.

"Don't worry, the prince is very ordinary, there will be no trouble. I have sent someone to contact him and will soon know the news about the prince!" Zhao Ren patted Wang Heng's shoulder and comforted him. In fact, what he had in his heart

I want to be the same as Wang Heng. As the prince's deputy, he knew better that fighting with Chage's army was even more dangerous than crossing a thousand miles of desert. If he was not careful, he would be doomed...

Banjingyi is only forty miles away from Xiazhou City, and only twenty miles away from Qiliping. The next day, the entire army rested here for a day. Zhao Ren personally went to Xiazhou to conduct reconnaissance. Although the environment in Xiazhou is deteriorating, it is compared with dozens of miles away.

The vast sea of ​​sand is still a paradise. The rolling Wuding River nourishes this land. The old canals in the Han and Tang dynasties are located, and the fields are crisscrossing. However, from the day when Emperor Taizong decided to destroy the city and immigrate, 200,000 people moved south, and here they were

Losing the prosperity of the past declares its defeat.

In the evening, Zhao Ren finally came to Xiazhou City and saw this white majestic city. As the capital, it has existed for twenty-five years, and by its destruction, it has passed five hundred years. Now the setting sun is setting in the west, the setting sun in the desert, and the ten thousand

The dark gray sky dyed red, and the yellow sand thousands of miles reflected the bloody face of the setting sun. The raging wind was walking through the ruins of Baichengzi, just like the Xiongnu cavalry that slaughtered Chang'an back then, and the rebellious long

Smile, shocking the Mu Us sand sea in front of you, but their arrival will turn this place into a battlefield of blood and fire. The army of the Song Empire will step onto the towering city again
