Ma Tao is from Meizhou and is a fellow villager with Su Shi, but he does not have the good fortune of Su Shi. His father passed away shortly after he was born and was raised by his mother.

Before he was 13 years old, he had never worn new clothes and had almost no full meals.

Like many ordinary children, he learned to climb trees and snatch bird eggs and go down rivers to catch fish. If he is lucky, he can catch big fish and fill his stomach.

In fact, this kind of luck has not been a few times a year. If there is any difference between him, it is that his mother often tells him that their ancestors of the Ma family were nobles and very honorable, but they declined later.

Ma Tao asked who his ancestors were, but his mother never said that.

Later, he occasionally heard the storyteller talk about Ma Chao and mentioned General Fubo Ma Yuan. He was good at making suggestions and said that he was a descendant of the Ma family, but he was doing too miserably after his general...

The changes in life happened when he was fourteen years old.

There was a problem with Jiaoziwu in Yizhou. In those months, my mother suddenly got older than ten years old. She counted on her fingers every day to fill her stomach.

The pair of silver bracelets left by my father to my mother were sold, and the three adobe houses in my family were also sold out.

Ma Tao didn't know how he came here.

Later, the Jiaozi storm subsided, and many businessmen came out to build silk workshops. My mother had good skills. After a year, she became a manager and was responsible for more than a dozen weavers.

The income has also increased. In fact, my mother hoped that he would study, but Ma Tao had long passed the age of being confused.

Later, the military system was rectified and the sacking of the wing army was treated well... Ma Tao decided to join the army.

He still remembered that the night he was about to leave home, his mother cried bitterly. She told Ma Tao that the ancestors of the Ma family were not a wealthy family at all.

Ma Tao's grandfather once revolted with Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun. Later, he fled everywhere and was displaced. His father died early. Someone also found out the old account that their family was a traitor and wanted to steal their property. But in the end, he went to the yamen and his father was beaten and died early.

"Son, don't work hard for the court! The court and our family are enemies!"

Ma Tao was stunned for a long time, "Mom, what about the prince, Zhang, and Su Mansion Master? Are they also enemies?"

The woman was dumbfounded.

"Mom, I think that if I want to avenge my father, I must serve the court better. If one day I become a general, I can investigate the old case again and my father's grievances will be cleared!"

...

Ma Tao joined the army with a charcoal heart. After rigorous training, they went north and became the main force in attacking Xixia.

The battle of Killing Niuling was Ma Tao's first official battle and the first time he faced the most cruel killing!

Countless Sichuan troops followed the hillside and struggled to move upwards.

From the castle above, the Xixia people kept throwing stones and rolling woods.

The soldier was smashed his head and his legs were broken, and his bodies were covered with mountain roads. Ma Tao vomited, spitting out loud... But none of these were useful, and the battle continued.

Finally, 200 bed crossbows were transferred, and crossbow arrows kept shooting towards the castle. The explosions were endless, and the Xixia soldiers on the top of the city could not even lift their heads.

They charged again, and Ma Tao followed them and ran wildly. He felt that the esophagus was like a fire. He rushed to the city, and the other soldiers raised ladders. Ma Tao had almost no idea, so he climbed the ladder and rushed to the top of the city.

Afterwards, Ma Tao found out that he was the first to enter the city.

Because of his first achievement, he was promoted to a third-class serviceman and became a capitalist, one step closer to his dream of general. However, in the battle, he could no longer think about it.

Hurry up and wave the Mo Dao in his hand. This is a weapon that Ma Tao likes very much. The fierce long sword can easily split the enemy's armor, and only the strong Song army can be equipped with it.

Relying on the Modao in his hand, Ma Tao killed three Western Xia soldiers.

The follow-up people flocked to him, and Ma Tao felt like he was being swept and kept striking. His body was obviously at its limit, but he could always wave the knife in his hand and continue to fight... It was a very wonderful feeling. He didn't know how many people he had killed, but the result was that after the war, he lay on the bed and rested for three days before he could move.

During these three days, Wang Ning'an had already rushed from Qinzhou to Kniuling.

And with the people, he entered Tongxin Village.

Wang Ning'an regarded this place as a forward command post.

He mobilized 30,000 Sichuan troops, plus Liang Dagang and Li Wuji's cavalry, and divided into two routes to sweep the Xixia soldiers on the Hengshan line. Any defense line, as long as it is conquered a little, will be a complete collapse, and the Hengshan defense line is no exception.

When the Song army's banner was flying in the castles on the hills, it turned out that the tribes of Hengshan fought back and drove out the soldiers of the Western Xia, rushing to hang the banner of the Song Dynasty.

Li Congjian led his brothers to incite the people to revolt everywhere.

Wang Ning'an took the opportunity to take the opportunity to get tax exemption for three years. This promise was like a timely rain. Many ministries could not bear the heavy taxes. After hearing the news, they surrendered almost immediately.

In less than half a month, Wang Ning'an occupied a huge area of ​​500 miles wide and 100 miles deep. As the vanguard of the army, Wang Ningze focused his attack on the Jingsai Army.

What Mr. Wang cares most about is not how many people in the city, but the word "jingsai"!

You should know that the official name of the Wang family’s Iron Cavalry is Jingsai Army.

The little Xixia is also called Jingsai Junshi. Do you want to have fun with us?

Let you see who is the real Jingsai Army!

Wang Ningze gathered 500 bed crossbows, and bombarded violently day and night.

The bricks on the city wall were smashed and the sand was exposed. The defenders on the city tower had changed three waves. After the firepower was fully prepared, Wang Ningze ordered the Sichuan army to attack the city.

They first organized a blast, blew a hole in the city wall, and then the army rushed in.

Sichuan soldiers flocked into the city, and they encountered Shanbazi.

Both sides had red eyes and immediately killed a group.

Sichuan soldiers skillfully use spears to block the opponent's weapons. They cooperate with each other tacitly, and usually three or five people join forces, which is extremely powerful.

But that's the case, the Sichuan soldiers suffered more losses than Shanbazi!

The strong soldiers of Xixia are indeed extraordinary!

But their ferocity ended here.

As the city gates opened, more Sichuan soldiers rushed in, and Wang Ningze's cavalry also rushed in. After more than half a day of fighting, the Jingsai Army Division completely fell and became the first important city won by the Song Dynasty!

This news shocked the entire front, and it seemed that everyone knew that the defeat of Xixia was irreversible.

"We can't always let the Wang family army be beautiful! We can't fall behind!"

Zhe Ke Rou supervised his troops for three days and nights to conquer Longzhou.

After paying 3,000 people, Zhong Gu took over Hongzhou.

Their two armies rushed towards the Jianing Army Division like iron pliers, which was also the most important place for troops stationed in Xixia.

In order to protect the safety of the Jianing Military Office, Liang Yibian personally led 50,000 troops to snipe the Song army.

The battle between the two sides was extremely tragic from the beginning.

The Song army went on one after another, siegeing the city at all costs, while Liang Yi buried the people in the city and resisted wildly, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

However, it was sooner or later as Di Qing led his army across Hengshan and captured the Jianing Army.

From Roulang, Shandong to Niuxinting.

All the Hengshan line have been broken through.

As the first step in the entire combat plan, it can be said that it has been successfully completed.

For this line, the Song army fought for several months. Di Qing and Wang Ning'an both put in a lot of effort and made a successful breakthrough, which seemed to be natural and natural.

Moreover, for this line alone, the Song Dynasty had lost 60,000 troops, spent tens of millions of military expenditures, and countless food and supplies.

It was only after the real battle that Wang Ning'an was surprised to find that they did not lose money, but on the contrary, they were very profitable.

There were almost 300,000 people in Hengshan, and they also captured nearly 40,000 Xixia soldiers. At the same time, large areas of land, farmland, or pastures south of the Yellow River are all very good choices.

The cattle, sheep and horses captured alone are as many as 500,000.

As long as this land is managed, it can raise at least 3 million sheep. Just by producing wool, you can pay military expenses within 5 years, and you will make a net profit in the future. And there is such a large piece of land that you can't buy even if you have money.

Wang Ning'an always felt that the people of the Song Dynasty were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones who were the ones

So it is better to return the original owner!

While counting all the results, Wang Ning'an also discovered some problems.

It turned out that all the Dangxiang tribes on the Hengshan line were taken away, and the best war horses, the ox, were taken away three months ago.

There are many people on the entire Hengshan line, but there are only a few thousand people in Shanbazi, who are capable of fighting, and the capturing army, which is known as one hundred thousand, is gone.

The battle was much easier than expected, but it was not good news that the main force that did not destroy Xixia.

Wang Ning'an felt that he was not a genius of war. He did not dare to be careless in the face of victory. On the contrary, he had to be extremely careful.

He continued to mobilize his troops, consolidate his territory, and moved the subordinate tribes to the northwest and other places to resettle. At the same time, he spread out his troops and discussed with Di Qingzhonggu's plan for the next march.

Di Qing and Wang Ning'an had the same concerns. Li Liangzuo may have known that Hengshan could not be defended for a long time. They chose to concentrate their troops and lure the enemy into the depths. At this moment, they must be cautious!

But Wang Ning'an and Di Qing both ignored it. The Song Dynasty had been suppressed for too long. The lessons of Sanchuankou, Good Mizukawa, and the crushing defeat were vivid in my mind. It was simply the nightmare of many famous officials!

After winning, they broke through Hengshan, expanded the land for hundreds of miles, captured tens of thousands of people, seized so many cattle and sheep, and occupied such a large area of ​​land. With one move, the Xixia might be erased.

Happy!

Besides being happy, I am still happy!

Even Jia Changchao, who had been behind, was a little dizzy. The old guy didn't ask Wang Ning'an and Di Qing, so he made his own decision and wrote a memorial with a big stroke.

The capital was suddenly in a state of excitement. Our Uncle Zhao announced the cessation of the court for three days for the first time, and the whole world celebrated. He also ran to the Taimiao to announce the good news to his ancestors!

This victory is really a bit big for the Song Dynasty!
Chapter completed!
