Xia Zhu's careful thinking did not affect Di Qing's command, on such a big battlefield, there was no more than him, and no less than him, Yang Huaiyu gave him all his own soldiers, what else was there to make it difficult for him? As long as he doesn't die on the battlefield, anything goes...... This is what the official family explained to themselves at the beginning, and it is also their duty to protect this old man.

Siege warfare is a battle that consumes the patience and will of both sides, whether it is the defending Western Xia, or the offensive Great Song Dynasty, the competition is also the tense nerves and perseverance, the Western Xia people feel that they will not be able to hold, the Great Song Dynasty soldiers will feel that they cannot be conquered, both sides have their own concerns, at this time the competition is whose will is stronger, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign wars have always been like this.

The battle formation of the Great Song Dynasty is decent, and there is the existence of artillery, which is a war artifact, which is much easier for siege warfare, this is a big gamble, not only Li Yuanhao's big gamble, but also Zhao Zhen's big gamble, if the Great Song Dynasty can't eliminate Western Xia in one battle, then the trouble will be endless.

Not only the threat from the Western Xia, the public opinion in the dynasty will give Zhao Zhen huge pressure, although he is the king of a country, but it is also necessary to do what he says, and many interests of the Great Song Dynasty are linked to the Western Xia, if the Western Xia is not destroyed, the Great Song Dynasty will lose many of the benefits that have been distributed, and those who are damaged will naturally not do it......

In the deafening sound of artillery, the battle of annihilation began, the artillery of the Great Song Dynasty is a sharp weapon to attack the city and pull out the village, and the army is a must-win battle to overwhelm Xingqing Mansion, Di Qing inherited Zhao Zhen's consistent style of defeat, the army camped and camped, and constantly bombarded the city wall of Xingqing Mansion with artillery.

As for the cannonballs, there is no need to worry, when the army has just marched westward, there are firearms battalions in Yanzhou City, they make gunpowder shells and gunpowder projectiles needed for artillery every day, and send them to the front line in a steady stream to supply the needs of the army, which is the most heroic place in the Great Song Dynasty.

Di Qing's tactics used in this attack on Xingqing Mansion are rare, the army does not move, one hundred and ten cannons swallow fire snakes, making a deafening sound, huge iron bullets make a sharp sound of breaking the air and smashing on the walls of Xingqing Mansion, and at the same time, countless return cannons loaded with stones are fired together.

For a time, the city wall of Xingqing Mansion shook the mountains, and the entire Xinqing Mansion was like a lonely boat in the stormy waves, the bricks and stone tiles murmured down, and the rising dust covered the sky and the sun, just like the scene of the end of the world.

This is the first time that the Great Song Dynasty has shown its hideousness to the world, and the powerful destructive power of the Central Plains Dynasty has appeared in front of the world.

It was a battle of the ages, a battle of crushing, a battle of slaughter, and the Tanguts trembled under the fierce onslaught. It's not the power that humans should have, it's the heavens, it's the god of war, and it's a thunderous blow.

Standing at the head of the city, trembling and looking at the overwhelming army opposite, the Song people at this time were still outside the range of the artillery crossbow arrows of the Western Xia, if the Song people were allowed to attack like this, then the Western Xia was like a dangerous egg under the nest, where could there be a chance to face the Song people?

Pang immediately made a decision, pulled over a personal soldier beside him and said: "Quickly come out of the secret passage, and order the ambush soldiers in the Great Trap Valley to come out, attack the Song army's large array in the north, and attack the Song army's artillery." ”

As a last resort, there is no hidden Pang can only use the last hole card, if the Song people bombard it like this, then the city wall of Xingqing Mansion will collapse in a few days, and how can Xingqing Mansion hold on without the danger of the city wall?

Originally, he did not hide Pang and had the confidence to stick to Xingqing Mansion, in his opinion, the siege battle of the Western Xia took advantage of it, and the longer it delayed, the more beneficial it would be for the Western Xia, but now it seems that this is not the case.

The houses under the cannons collapsed, and the occasional cannonballs that skimmed the city walls fell into the city, eroding for hundreds of meters, and the ground seemed to be cut by a huge iron plow, leaving shocking scars.

Long-term bombardment, even if the wall of Xingqing Mansion is reinforced, it is difficult to withstand the attack of the Great Song Dynasty artillery ten times and hundreds of times, which not only kills the soldiers of Western Xia, but also destroys the morale of the party soldiers.

Everything was completely beyond his expectations, the new way of fighting, the new tactical concept, all surprised him, he thought he was completely prepared, but who knew that before the attack of the Great Song Dynasty, it was as ridiculous as a clown jumping off the beam.

He finally knew that the threat of the Great Song Emperor was not just on paper, and the Great Song Dynasty did have the power to wipe out Western Xia in a snap of his fingers.

The pro-soldier who did not hide the deceit crossed the winding secret passage and arrived at the Great Trap Valley far away, which was dozens of miles away from Xingqing Mansion, and the speed of this pro-soldier was fast enough......

This is a basin in a valley, rich in water and grass, the area is vast, and it can accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops stationed here, this is an ambush that did not hide the false Pang, and it is also his last hole card.

He couldn't imagine why he didn't hide Pang and was going to start attacking the Great Song Dynasty now, and to his ears, the rumbling artillery sound in the distance was a muffled thunderbolt, could it be that the heavens favored Western Xia again?

But the words of the herald shattered his illusions: "This is the cannon of the Song people, the power is like thunder, the prime minister has an order, the general will quickly attack and disturb the Great Song army formation, otherwise Xingqing Mansion is in danger!" ”

Xingqing Mansion is in danger! Didn't hide the empty mountain was shocked, and immediately ordered the army to pull out, with tens of thousands of cavalry as the lead, and hurriedly killed the Great Song army formation, which is really as Xiangguo said, then my current Xingqing Mansion is in danger.

Wuzang Kongshan is a member of the general of Western Xia, and he is also a member of the Wuzang family, and he is related to the Wuzang clan and Wuzang Pang Pang, and at this time, he is the one who does not want anything to happen to Xingqing Mansion.

Wuzang Kongshan led the ambush troops all the way to attack the Great Song army formation, dozens of miles in the tunnel was only a meal time for the cavalry on the ground, and when they arrived at the periphery of Xingqing Mansion, they saw the Great Song army formation stretching like a tide.

Similarly, Di Qing also noticed this army for the first time, this is the main force of Western Xia that he is searching for, from the Ulan Mulun River to Xingqing Mansion, he sent continuous attacks, just to force the main force of Western Xia to appear.

Now that they were close at hand, Di Qing and Yang Huaiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, both of them knew that their plan to force the main force of Western Xia to appear had succeeded.

Although the cannon stones of the Great Song Dynasty have the ability to raze Xingqing Mansion to the ground, if they really do this, then the reputation of the two of them will not be necessary, and the literati in the court are afraid that they will eat them......

There are still hundreds of thousands of Western Xia civilians in Xingqing Mansion, even if the city is slaughtered, there are not so many indiscriminate killings, Confucianism continues to the Great Song Dynasty has high requirements for the etiquette system, not only the people, scholars, and even the emperor will be required to lead by example, this is not a joke.

The matter of the Jingguan military army was still sparse and ordinary in the original war, but when it came to the Great Song Dynasty, it became a cruel and unkind act, contrary to the benevolence of the emperor, if the Great Song Dynasty slaughtered the people in Xingqing Mansion, you can imagine what the public opinion of the world will be.
