After taking the envoy of Emperor Xia into custody, Zhou Hai returned to Li Qing's side and asked puzzledly: "Lord Wang, since he is His Majesty's envoy, why do you still detain them, and Your Majesty ordered the prince to withdraw his troops.
"Doesn't this king know that this is Ling Chi's capital crime," Li Qing said very domineeringly; "Lao Tzu did this thing, even if his father did not agree with Lao Tzu, he had to do it, because it was in the interests of the Great Xia Empire, even in front of his father, this king dared to say so; This king thinks that he is worthy of the Great Xia Empire, and that is enough."
Li Qing was very clear about why Emperor Xia asked Li Qing to withdraw his troops, and Li Qing also knew that it was against Li Liangzuo's will to use Japanese soldiers to fight in Jiangnan, but Li Qing had no other choice, in order to reduce casualties, he could only do so, and now that he was fighting, Li Liangzuo sent people to Xingshi to ask for guilt, which made Li Qing feel very unhappy.
A few days later, Li Qing summoned Emperor Xia's envoy again.
When Emperor Xia's envoy saw Li Qing, he said very arrogantly: "His Royal Highness King Yan has figured it out, then withdraw the army quickly, Your Highness had better not be obsessed, otherwise don't blame the envoy for being ruthless in front of His Majesty." ” Hearing the envoy's words, Li Qing slapped the envoy's face, and directly slapped the envoy to the ground, Li Qing said to the envoy: "Young fucking arrogant in front of this king, you are just a dog raised by our Li family, and you dare to bark blindly in front of the master, don't think that you dare to point fingers at this king by relying on the power of your father, if you provoke this king, believe it or not, this king will chop you up and feed the dog; You can go back today and tell your father that the king said that he would not accept the king's order abroad; The king will not withdraw until the goal is achieved; ."
Zhou Hai on the side was stunned, that was the envoy of Emperor Xia Li Liangzuo, who could become the envoy of Emperor Xia was Li Liangzuo's confidant, and that came out represented the emperor and was the face of Emperor Xia Li Liangzuo; Now that Li Qing has beaten the envoy, isn't that equivalent to slapping Li Liangzuo's face, this is a great crime of disrespect, and after this envoy is beaten, he will definitely add oil and vinegar when he goes back, and I am afraid that there will be no good fruit for Li Qing to eat at that time.
Sure enough, the envoy added oil and vinegar to Li Liangzuo after he went back, and Li Liangzuo's nose was crooked; Li Liangzuo was furious, and scolded Li Qing for being a bastard; But Li Qingyuan couldn't hear it at all in Jiangnan, so in the next nearly two months, he sent out thirty-six Shengyu in a row to let Li Qing lead the army, but Li Qingquan ignored it, if the envoy who came had a little eyesight, Li Qing would not embarrass them, but if he dared to play tricks, Li Qing would directly beat him up and become a domineering and ruthless prince; In the end, whoever gave Li Qing, the king of Yan, came to announce the decree, everyone was worried.
Of course, that's all for later.
Li Qingzi ah Wuxi stationed for a month, Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty in addition to training in Changzhou to hoard grain and grass did not have the slightest intention of going south, waiting for Li Qing was a little anxious, at this time Suzhou's grain and grass baggage has been all transported, but Li Qing did not dare to rashly evacuate Wuxi City, Li Qing was worried that once he evacuated, the Song army would drive straight along the canal, this road except here is not a place so conducive to defense, and this month Li Qing used the captured people to build the entire Wuxi defense line impregnable.
"Report, report, report to the prince, the sentry cavalry reported that the Song army had moved."
Zhou Hai ran in and said; "Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty led an army of 600,000 troops along the canal and went straight to Wuxi, and it is estimated that he will arrive in three days."
Li Qing frowned and said: "The 600,000 army marches together, this is because I am worried that this king's old tricks will be repeated and each will be broken."
"Lord, what should we do then?"
"The herald orders the whole army to hold out, but this king wants to see what tricks the Song army wants to play."
Three days later, Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty again led 600,000 troops to Wuxi City, this time the Song army set up their battalion in the north of Wuxi City ten miles, 600,000 troops divided into three large battalions finished glyph layout, each other to form a corner of the momentum, such a layout and is conducive to defense, but also conducive to attack. 600,000 Song troops are basically peasants who have just put down their hoes and picked up weapons, the whole Song army seems to be mighty, in fact, the combat power is very worrisome, the Song army did not launch an attack for three consecutive days after arriving, every day in addition to training is training, facing a series of actions of Song Emperor Zhao Xu Li Qing was puzzled, but Li Qing did not dare to take the initiative to attack the Song army, if it was entangled by the Song army, it was only a dead end.
During these three days, the Song army was not idle, Zhao Xu ordered the Song army to step up training and build siege equipment on the other; The siege equipment of the Song army is very complete, there are nearly 1,000 rushing cars, building cars, catapults, etc., in addition, there are a large number of siege ladders, and it is indeed shocking that the Song army can concentrate such a powerful force in such a short time; These three days were like the calm before the storm, and the Xia and Song armies were nervously preparing for battle, waiting for the storm to come.
Three days later, the Song army began to launch a large-scale attack on Wuxi City, 600,000 Song troops were divided into two parts, a part of 300,000 people as the main force launched an attack from the north, east and west of Wuxi City, another 100,000 troops launched an attack on Huishan, and finally 200,000 troops were ready to support various battlefields at any time as the general reserve.
The offensive of the Song army was very fierce, in order to prevent someone from retreating privately on the battlefield, Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty also prepared a supervising team, the Song army's fearless attack caused great casualties to the Xia army's defending army, and in just one day, the Japanese soldiers under Li Qing had consumed two-thirds, and the Xia army also lost thousands of people.
Of course, the Song army also paid a great price for this, the casualties of the Song army were two to three times that of the Xia army, but despite this, the Song Emperor Zhao Xu was still very satisfied with the results of the Song army on the first day, because the Song army in the first day of the attack, in the dusk had a short time to climb the head of Wuxi City, in the Song Emperor Zhao Xu's view, if this method was followed, the Song army could recover Wuxi City within five days.
Late at night in the camp of the Song army, Chen Lin was reporting to Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty; Chen Lin's injuries had basically healed, and he was once again appointed as the forward general by Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty, responsible for all matters related to the attack on Wuxi City.
Chen Lin said to Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know whether to say a word or not. ” "Aiqing has nothing to say."
"Your Majesty, although our army has achieved great results, the casualties are not small, and Wei Chen thinks that our army should not attack like this; Our soldiers are all newly recruited soldiers who lack combat experience, and Weichen thinks that Wuxi City should be used as a whetstone to temper the new army; Your Majesty may take some time to do this, but you can come for an iron-blooded division of our Great Song Liancheng, and the reason why our army and combat strength have not been improved for a long time is largely because there are too many new troops and too little training; The veterans have suffered all the casualties on the battlefield, and the new army has not yet trained and entered the battle; Weichen thought that if our army wanted to maintain its combat strength for a long time, it would have to form a virtuous circle like the Xia army, with veterans accounting for more than sixty percent or even higher in a unit, and then constantly replenishing new recruits."
The second watch is coming, and the rest is over:
