"Two hundred thousand? Hehe!" Because Yelv Yun of Liao Kingdom had died, the army of Liao Kingdom had found a temporary commander. This man was Gu Li, and Gu Li was a valiant general in battle. However, his strategy was lacking. Of course, he would not admit this. Hence, he was a little headstrong.    

    

However, it was precisely because he fought bravely and had a very high prestige in the army that he was appointed as the commander of this Liao Army.    

    

Gu Li was very happy and excited about this appointment. In his mind, this was his chance. Although he was the commander of the battlefield in the past, however, at most, he could command the vanguard. The number of commanders was limited, so he had always felt that the commander was the only one who could be ignored.    

    

And this time, because of Yelv Yun's sudden death, he had obtained such an opportunity. In his opinion, as long as he seized this opportunity, then in the future, he would have more chances to lead troops alone.    

    

West Xia was obviously a good opponent and did not have much strength. It was better to establish his prestige, even though West Xia had 200 thousand troops to welcome him. However, in front of his 600 thousand troops, the 200 thousand troops of Western Xia Army... It was nothing.    

    

Gu Li even thought that as long as he led the Liao Army of one hundred thousand men, he would be able to defeat them. Therefore, he didn't put the Western Xia Army of two hundred thousand men in his eyes.    

    

"That's right. West Xia will use the entire country to fight this war." The official from the Song Dynasty said.    

    

"Then they will wait for the country to be destroyed." Gu Li said, "This time, I want to destroy his 200,000 soldiers. Then, he waved his troops forward and took down the entire West Xia. At that time, without the protection of the army, what will they use to stop my army? "    

    

" That's right. The Liao Army's combat strength is unparalleled in the world. The tiny West Xia is naturally not the Liao Army's match. " The official of the Song Dynasty said. His words were half sincere and half flattering. The strength of the Western Xia Army was not even comparable to the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was no match for the Liao Army. However, the Jin Country had yet to rise, and it was said that the strength of the Liao Army was unparalleled under the heavens. There seemed to be nothing wrong with that.    

    

Therefore, after Gu Li heard these words, he didn't try to be modest. Instead, he had a proud expression on his face. Indeed, the Liao Army had fought all over the world and rarely encountered any enemies. It wouldn't be excessive to say that the Liao Army was unparalleled under the heavens.    

    

"General Gu li, there is a mountain path ahead. Should we arrange for people to go up the mountain and search it to prevent the Western Xia Army from ambushing us?" The official of the Song Dynasty looked at the mountain not far away and said.    

    

"Do you think I don't know what to do? Do I need you to teach me?" Gu Li looked at him and said.    

    

"I dare not, I dare not." The official from the Song Dynasty said hastily.    

    

Very quickly, scout, who was arranged by Gu Li to go up the mountain to investigate, returned. He didn't find any trace of the Western Xia Army on the mountain.    

    

"Hmph, at least those Western Xia Army know what's good for them and hide in the city to defend. If they dare to come out, I'll kill them all outside." It seemed like this news wasn't out of Gu Li's expectation. In his point of view, when Western Xia Army saw their army of six hundred thousand, they were probably scared silly. At this moment, they naturally didn't dare to come out. They could only rely on the city wall to defend. If they dared to come out of the city, they would be courting death.    

    

Seeing that they didn't find the people of Western Xia Army, the officials of Song Dynasty heaved a sigh of relief. Although he also felt that facing his army of six hundred thousand, the Western Xia Army was going to lose for sure. It would be better if they had the city wall. If they really dared to come out, they would be courting death.    

    

However, the officials of the Liao Kingdom were afraid that the commander of the Western Xia was a madman. They wanted to ambush them outside. If that happened, although the enemy would suffer some losses, they wouldn't be able to bear it either.    

    

However, it was obvious that the enemy didn't have the guts to do so.    

    

The Song Liao Allied Army was about to pass through a valley between two mountains. And because of this, if the Western Xia Army were to set up an ambush on the two surrounding mountains... They could still launch an attack on them. Of course, that was only when the Western Xia Army was not discovered. Although Gu Li was arrogant, he still arranged for scout to go up the mountain to search. This was common sense.    

    

There was no one on both sides of the mountain, so the Song Liao Allied Army could pass through.    

    

Gu Li and the leader of Song Dynasty rode in the middle of the group and slowly prepared to pass through the valley. Because they had the absolute advantage, both of them were in a good mood.    

    

"Bang!"    

    

At this moment, a loud explosion was heard. Both of them were startled. Then, before they could ask what had happened, in front of the team, there were explosions one after another. The explosions caused the front of the team to be thrown off balance.    

    

"What's going on? What's going on?" Gu Li quickly asked.    

    

Soon, Gu Li received a report from the front of the group. Someone stepped on something, and then an explosion happened. This explosion also caused a chain reaction, some places that seemed normal. The explosion caused a large number of casualties to his vanguard.    

    

Hearing the reports from his subordinates, Gu Li unconsciously thought of the news that had been sent over from within the country. Previously, Great General Yelv Zhen had led 50 thousand troops to attack West Xia. As a result, the city below West Xia was also blown up by firearms. The cavalry that did not die suffered heavy casualties. Their horses were also shocked and charged at the formation. This caused even greater casualties to the entire formation. It was only after they were scattered that they had no choice but to stop attacking.    

    

The explosion that happened now made it very easy for him to link it to the previous explosion. Instantly, his heart sank slightly.    

    

However, the explosion stopped very quickly. Over a dozen people had died or died on their side. Although it made him lose some face, the casualty of dozens of people did not affect the overall situation. For 600 thousand people, the casualty rate of dozens of people was not even a fraction.    

    

Because of this, Gu Li coldly snorted and said, "It's just a small trick. I estimate that West Xia will not be able to handle such a powerful firearm."    

    

As for the Song Dynasty officials, they kept wiping the sweat from their foreheads. The explosion just now had given him a scare. Although the Song Dynasty had firearms all along, he had never heard of them. Which firearm could be so powerful?    

    

However, after hearing what Gu Li said, the Song Dynasty official felt relieved. Although the explosion was loud, it was only a few dozen people who died. It was nothing.    

    

"Continue forward!" Gu Li shouted and ordered the team to continue forward. He felt that the things buried by Western Xia Army were just to scare them and give them a scare. The real damage wouldn't be too great.    

    

After that, before Gu Li could think of this, another explosion came from the front. This time, it was even more explosive than before.    

    

Gu Li frowned. The anger on his face couldn't be controlled anymore. Although he hadn't received the report from the front, he already knew what was going on.    

    

Sure enough, the people in front of him quickly came to report that another few dozen people had been killed by the explosion. Gu Li looked at the long valley ahead of him and his face darkened.    

    

He also didn't know that those things that could explode... There were still a lot of things left on the road. Before this, he thought that there wouldn't be too many of these things in Western Xia. But now, it seemed that it wasn't the case. The other party... It might even be in this entire valley... How were they supposed to pass if they had buried that thing? Could it be that they were going to fly over? That was obviously impossible. If they climbed over... He would make another big circle. Besides, no one knew if he would bury that thing on the mountain. After all, scout didn't have many people, so it was normal that he didn't step on that thing. If their large group went over, they might still fall into the enemy's trap.    

    

Thinking of this, Gu Li looked at Song Dynasty official, who was standing beside him, and had an idea in his heart.    

    

"Ask your men to walk in front." Gu Li said to the officials of Song Dynasty.    

    

"Ah?!" Song Dynasty official's face turned bitter.    

    

If it was before, he would be happy to be the vanguard. After all, it would be easier for him to obtain military merits when the time came, even if it would be more convenient to snatch some things.    

    

However, he clearly did not have such thoughts now. He had the same understanding as Gu Li. Who knew that the people of Western Xia... How many firearms were buried underground? Obviously, they were the ones leading the way. Didn't they want them to die?    

    

"What's wrong? Are you unwilling?" Gu Li said with a gloomy face and a faint killing intent emerged from his body.    

    

"I dare not, I dare not. I will give the order right away." Seeing that Gu Li was about to get angry, the official of Song Dynasty quickly agreed. The Song Dynasty had paid a great price in order to quell this war. If he provoked the Liao Army again and made them unhappy, he would beat them again. Then he would be the sinner of the Song Dynasty.    

    

Besides, if he wanted to leave, it would be his subordinates who would lead the way. It had nothing to do with him, so there was no need for him to use his reputation to bet on this matter.    

    

After the official of the Song Dynasty gave the order, it naturally attracted a wave of complaints from the soldiers below. Those soldiers were not fools. They naturally knew that at this moment... What kind of danger would there be if they walked in front? Therefore... They didn't want to walk in front.    

    

However, on one hand, it was the order of their superior, and on the other hand, it was the Liao Army who was eyeing them covetously. Even if those Song Dynasty soldiers wanted to oppose it, it would be useless.    

    

Therefore, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty could only walk in front unwillingly, treating themselves as human lightning detectors.    

    

After that, the whole team continued to advance, and as expected, the sound of explosions continued to ring out. The person walking in front was... Death came one after another, and each explosion could cause more than a dozen deaths. Or, it could be the casualties of dozens of people. The Song Dynasty soldiers at the front... They had always been on tenterhooks. The morale of the entire team... It was also inevitable that they would be affected.
