Chapter 379: Is It Time?

When Wei Ming Abu frantically attacked Pingxia City, Empress Dowager Liang finally arrived.

It's evening.

Wei Ming's burial and sister Le both knelt in front of the Empress Dowager Liang, not daring to breathe.

Empress Dowager Liang stared at the two of them viciously, her eyes were full of anger, and her face was still cold and mean.

Behind her stood the little emperor Li Qianshun and many party and aristocratic ministers, Li Qianshun's face was expressionless, as if he was unaware of this matter. However, some party nobles were furious, but Wei Ming Ah Bury and Mei Le Du were known for their military merits and had a very high status among the party nobles.

Therefore, including the Empress Dowager Liang, they are extremely restrained.

"How long will it take, I ask you?" Empress Dowager Liang's angry voice echoed.

Mei Le Du was responsible for the reinforcements attacking the Song Dynasty, so Yu Guang looked at Wei Ming Abury.

Wei Ming's burial secretly gritted his teeth, these days, his 100,000 army has lost nearly 40,000 people, and if he continues to attack, he is afraid that he will have more casualties.

But Pingxia City was the biggest obstacle to his march, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "Three days, within three days, the minister will definitely be able to break through Pingxia City!" ”

Empress Dowager Liang snorted coldly and said, "I'll give you three days!" You, keep going on the offensive for me, you can't stop! ”

The last sentence was aimed at the younger sister.

Sister Le Du twisted his eyebrows, the Song people held on to Pingxia City, and reinforcements from all walks of life arrived, but they didn't show up, they were obviously setting up an ambush, if he rushed in, he was likely to fall into the trap of the Song people.

But they have made no achievements for many days, and Empress Dowager Liang is afraid that she can't bear it anymore, she has thoughts in her heart, but she doesn't dare to say it, so she stubbornly says: "Yes." ”

Empress Dowager Liang breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Li Qianshun, and said lightly: "Emperor, what do you think?" ”

Li Qianshun lowered his eyebrows and said, "Everything is under the orders of the queen mother." ”

Empress Dowager Liang flapped his face for a while, and said, "Wei Ming Ashan, you go with your sister Ledu, that's all!" ”

"Lingyizhi!" The three of them, including Ah Bury, Mei Le Du, and Ah Shan, said in unison.

Ming's expression is not moving? But the heart is uneasy. Because of the Song Kingdom? I have been planning to give him a 'knight' for a long time!

Empress Dowager Liang was very angry in her heart, and her face was frosty? Against two henchmen with heavy troops? She also had to be more tolerant and patient.

And so.

The siege is even crazier.

Guo Cheng stood at the head of the city, how many times was he almost shot by an arrow? Under the city walls, all corpses? A river of blood!

Yao Xiong wiped the blood from his face? said: "Deputy Chief, Xia Ren is really dying." ”

Guo Cheng nodded silently and said, "How much gunpowder is there?" ”

Yao Xiong said: "If you continue to fight at this level, it will be used up at noon tomorrow at most." ”

Gunpowder has a hundred years of history in the military use of the Song Dynasty, but in the usual warfare? Is the proportion of gunpowder still quite small? The reason why Pingxia City has so many reserves is that Zhao Xu paid attention to the ordnance supervisor and deliberately allocated it to the front line.

Guo Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Don't save it, use it all." ”

Yao Xiong wiped his face? said: "According to the madness of Xia Ren, I'm afraid I won't give up easily?" Do you really want to use it all? ”

Guo Chengdao: "Use it." ”

Guo Cheng is trapped in Pingxia City, and he doesn't know the situation outside? But according to the time calculation, neither side will continue to consume like this? There may well be a big war.

"Yes!" Yao Xiong gritted his teeth? Then he turned and ordered all the firearms to be piled up.

The firearms of the Song Dynasty were further improved? The power is greater than ever, and it is more convenient, especially the condescending defense of the city, in the face of the dense siege summer soldiers, there are almost no mistakes, and every explosion carries human lives.

There were more and more siege equipment of the Xia people, and stone throwers, trebuchets, siege towers, ramming vehicles and large shields were all pounced.

Guo Cheng looked at it, although his face was solemn, he said to himself in a relaxed tone: "Xia people are really not good at attacking cities......

If it were him, he would definitely be more flexible, even if he used fatigue tactics, so many days would be enough to choke the city.

The Xia people are not easy, tens of thousands of dead and wounded in so many days, and now that Wei Ming's burial is in person, and the army is attacking the city, the pressure is even greater.

Under the city of Pingxia, the roar was monstrous, and the shouts of killing were like thunder.

The tide rises and falls, and there is no rest.

But Pingxia City still shows no signs of being conquered.

In Pingxia City, the soldiers are well fed, especially firearms, which have huge lethality, and the rumbling explosions give people a huge psychological deterrent.

Empress Dowager Liang, Li Qianshun and others were all in the camp, listening to the movement, waiting for the 'good news' of Wei Ming's burial.

Time passed little by little, almost evening, and still did not wait.

Empress Dowager Liang's face was distorted, she glanced at the crowd, snorted coldly and turned to leave.

The palace maid and the inner supervisor hurriedly followed, and the others didn't dare to say a word.

Li Qianshun stood bent and glanced at the two eunuchs, his eyes flashing coldly.

Empress Dowager Liang was unhappy.

Wei Ming's burial felt even more pressure, prompting him to continue the attack in the evening, when he should have withdrawn his troops.

A small Pingxia city is not a fortified fortress, but it has been carrying their 100,000 army for so long!

"Keep it on!"

The name of the monk roared.

Inside the city of Pingxia.

The soldiers defending the city were busy, constantly carrying the corpses down from above, and new recruits went up.

Guo Cheng, Yao Xiong, and Yao Gu brothers patrolled back and forth in the four gates to boost morale.

The Xia people are crazy, and they have to take it more seriously.

In the end, Western Xia still failed to conquer it, and it was getting late, even if he was unwilling, he could only withdraw his troops.

Looking at the army that Western Xia withdrew like a tide, the whole city of Pingxia breathed a sigh of relief.

The Xia people suffered heavy casualties, and Pingxia City was not much better, more than half of the dead and wounded!

Guo Cheng looked at the corpses of Xia people all over the ground, silently estimated the time, and sighed softly: "It's almost time." ”

Just when Guo Cheng's voice fell, Zhuo Luocheng.

The 6,000 people led by Wang Han suddenly arrived.

"Kill!"

Wang Han took the lead and went straight to Zhuo Luocheng.

Zhuo Luocheng was shocked, their troops had been taken away, and they never thought that the Song people would kill them, and there was a big chaos.

"Kill, they are up to two thousand!"

Wang Han drank heavily.

With Wang Han taking the lead, the soldiers were naturally brave and went directly into the city.

Zhuo Luo City is stationed in the Western Xia Zhuo Luo City Military Division and the Right Xiang Military Division, but at this moment, their troops are all in Pingxia City!

Zhuo Luocheng was in chaos, and Wang Han took it with almost no effort.

Half an hour later, a commander ran in front of Wang Han and said loudly: "Deputy Chief, hundreds of people have run, and the last general will lead the troops to chase after him!" ”

Wang Han was standing in Zhuo Luocheng, he was in a trance at the moment, he didn't expect it to be so smooth, he quickly calmed down, and said directly: "You send someone to chase after you, in addition, take everything away, and burn all the things that can't be taken away!" ”

"Yes." The commander responded and quickly gathered people to deliver orders.

Under the 'argument of reason' between Zhang Ji, Xu Jiang and others and Zhao Xu, the military system could not be changed according to Zhao Xu's ideas.

Roughly the first army, ten battalions, five capitals, five teams, each team of 50 people, plus the configuration of cavalry, firearms troops, etc., the total number of the first army is about 15,000 people.

The commander of the first battalion is called the commander, and there are also five lieutenant generals.

The commander quickly spread the word, and the Song army was almost in a no-man's land within a radius of a hundred miles near Zhuo Luo City, and even used the team as a combat unit to attack everywhere.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Han counted the results of the battle, they killed about 1,500 Xia troops, and captured tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and at the same time attacked one after another, burning all the warehouses and grain depots of the Xia people within a radius of 700 miles!

Wang Han did not rush to continue the attack, and began to return to the city with the results of the battle.

But Wang Han's move quickly caused a huge shock in Western Xia, and the two armies of Zhuo Luocheng were defeated, and the northwest direction was empty!

Empress Dowager Liang got the news, and it was already the third day.

Empress Dowager Liang's face was distorted, and she roared angrily: "The Song people have broken through Zhuo Luo City, you, you are still doing nothing for this Pingxia City!" What use do I want from you, come on! ”

A row of swords and axes entered the big tent, and the big tent was instantly cold and piercing.

It's almost August, and it's hot time!

The kneeling Wei Ming's face was straight, and he didn't dare to argue a word.

Seeing that no one pleaded, Empress Dowager Liang shouted angrily, turned to Li Qianshun, and said, "Emperor, what do you think?" ”

Li Qianshun knew very well in his heart that even if his mother was angry, it would be impossible to kill Wei Ming's burial at this time.

He glanced at a group of aristocratic ministers who were shrunk their heads, sneered in his heart, and saw that Wei Ming Ah Shan was not there, he coughed and said: "Queen Mother, it will be taboo to kill in battle, it is better to let Wei Ming Ah bury his guilt and make meritorious contributions, and talk about it later." ”

Empress Dowager Liang had a step, sneered, looked at Wei Ming's burial and said, "Don't get out of here!" ”

"Xie Niangniang!" Wei Minga buried his teeth and walked away quickly.

This is already the eleventh day of the siege of Pingxia City, and he hasn't taken it yet!

Li Qianshun saw that Wei Ming and Ah Bury didn't look at him, and his eyes flashed with anger.

Empress Dowager Liang gritted her teeth, but she was helpless, turned around sharply, and said, "The palace is lacking." ”

The two 'eunuchs' behind her immediately understood and helped her back to the big tent.

Li Qianshun's face was gloomy, but he quickly regained his composure, and his face was expressionless.

"Keep attacking!" Wei Ming's burial looked at Pingxia City and roared.

The Xia army, which was already besieging the city, increased its offensive a little.

It is very limited, for more than ten days, the Song people have been well defended, and the Xia army has suffered sixty or seventy thousand casualties, and they are exhausted no matter how much they increase!

This kind of casualty, not even the last big defeat, has never even happened before!

Wei Ming's burial was unbearable, urging the army to attack.

Pingxia City is still as stable as Mount Tai, and there is no trace of being breached.

Wei Ming's burial pressure is huge, and Mei Le Du is not having a good time, he is taking 30,000 people, and is trying to go deeper into Jingyuan Road, this kind of worry, there is no army behind the palace, deep into the enemy's hinterland of the way of marching, he is very opposed, but there is no way.

Sister Le Du is cautious and cautious, step by step, even if the Song army lures, he will fight steadily and steadily, and will never rush forward.

On the morning of the twelfth day of the siege of the Xia army, he followed Meile Du to go on an expedition, and Wei Ming, who led 3,000 people, encountered the Song army.

After a 'hard battle', Ashan won a great victory and conquered a fortress.

This is an important walled city on the road to Jingyuan, and can become an important stronghold for the Xia army to continue its attack!

"Well done!" Mei Le Du patted Wei Ming Ashan on the shoulder, and said with excitement on her face: "After this time, I will ensure that you will be promoted!" ”

Wei Ming Ahsan smiled reluctantly, but his heart was uneasy.

This is a trap designed by the Song people, and I don't know what will be behind it.

At this time, Zhi Keshi was standing on the top of the mountain not far away, he was a thin and tall man, with thin faces, giving people a sense of seriousness without anger and self-authority.

Chong Pu stood behind him and said a little nervously: "Zhe Shuai, it's time, right?" ”

The Fold family and the Chongjia are the two military generals of the Western Army, and the two families respect each other.

Fold can be a pity for the word like gold, and said: "Wait." ”

Chong Pu suddenly stopped talking, and Zhe Keshi was known for being stern in the army.
