The return cannon of the people of the Western Regions has made the defenders of the Gansu military city a big headache, when the Great Song Dynasty spent half a month to build dozens of more powerful return cannons, the nightmare of the Western Xia people really began, the cannon weighing hundreds of catties fell from the sky with a huge cry, and the earth was trembling for a while, and the roar was like the collapse of the mountain.

A boulder smashed on the corner tower of the military city with the power of thunder, and the wooden corner tower collapsed in a squeak, and the Xixia archers in the corner tower were killed or injured, and the appearance was miserable and terrifying.

With the continuous support of the return artillery, the Western Route Army regrouped and attacked the Gansu military city, the tide-like soldiers, the cloud-like crossbow arrows, broke through the sky, and the sound of fighting gathered together, giving people a scene of annihilation, the Xixia people had no choice but to resist and bear all this.

The war was fought from day to night, and the breath of despair spread in the military city, but they were all mobilized again under the inspiration of Tuobahao, and the city was broken when it was fate, rather than sitting and waiting to die, it was better to kill a happy one, the more adversity was in the midst of adversity, the more human potential would be stimulated.

Since Yang Zhongxian led the Western Route Army to the west, he has never encountered such desperate defenders, nor has he ever encountered such stubborn resistance, the Western Xia people have gone crazy, even the wounded soldiers are standing on the city wall to fight, so that the tired soldiers take turns to rest, some party soldiers see that they are unable to stop the Song Dynasty forbidden army from climbing the wall, and even at the cost of their own lives, they will rush forward to knock down more forbidden troops and fall down the wall with him.

Such a tragic battle has made the Song people's hearts beat the drum, but also made the Tangut people's fighting spirit even higher, death is sometimes a sacrifice, to provide more motivation for the most enthusiastic people, to stimulate the killing intent in people's hearts.

The Song army had no choice but to attack the city while making more return artillery and attacking the Gansu military city with more stone rain, which could not only reduce the pressure on the soldiers on the front line, but also destroy the city wall and kill the defenders in the city to the greatest extent.

This point is a bit of a scoundrel, but on the battlefield is to do everything, flying stones like rain, constantly smashing into the Gansu military city, the house in the city collapsed at the same time accompanied by the screams of the Xixia people, the stones fired by the return cannon do not have long eyes, whether it is a soldier or an ordinary person, touch is injured, and the middle is dead!

The entire military city of Gansu has become a purgatory on earth, where people are constantly injured or killed, and some people have to be amputated and severed to save their lives, and the cruelty of war is vividly reflected here and shocking.

With the suppression of artillery and crossbow arrows, the Tanguts on the city wall basically had no chance to show their heads, they raised tall and tough shields, and worked together to resist the invasion of stones, and the wooden shields with a certain toughness could absorb a large part of the impact when they were hit, and they did not have to worry about the rain of arrows falling from the sky.

This is a very effective method, the soldiers will block the water to Tutun is the key to attack and defend, the Tangut people from the Song army in the attack slowly found a way, the tall wooden shield was finally placed on the wooden frame into the roof, but sometimes the stone will penetrate the wooden shield straight down, then the people below will definitely die, but at least this method can reduce the death of the defenders.

The defenders on the city wall were suppressed and could not stretch their heads, and the opportunity of the Great Song Dynasty came, and the soldiers in the Western Route Army used the most violent and practical method, gunpowder siege, which was the most effective way to deal with the city wall found by the Great Song Dynasty, and there was no one.

It is difficult for any city wall to resist the power of gunpowder explosion, just start digging about two feet below the city wall, chisel the masonry outside, mash the rammed earth inside, dig a small hole on the outside and large on the inside, fill it with gunpowder and ignite, the huge power generated after the explosion will make the bottom of the city wall vibrate, and the city wall itself will not be able to mature such a huge movement and begin to crumble.

With a shocking sound, the power of the gunpowder explosion was really huge, even in the earth and stones, the sound was also shaking the four fields, the Song army's military array began to shake, Yang Zhongxian nodded with satisfaction, the dust was constantly rolling up, and according to expectations, the strong city wall of Western Xia was torn open a big hole.

The people of the Western Regions let out an excited howl, and constantly rode their horses and galloped towards this broken hole, so that the hoplites of the Great Song Dynasty had no chance to advance at all, Yang Zhongxian couldn't help but secretly curse the recklessness of these people, if the Great Song Dynasty heavy infantry opened the way, and the mermaids of the Western Regions followed, the army would quickly gain a foothold in the city.

But at this time, the earth was still shaking, and the amplitude of the shaking was getting bigger and bigger, far exceeding the explosive power of gunpowder, and the Song army didn't know what the reason was for a while, until the scout's terrible cry remembered: "Enemy attack!" The Western Xia cavalry is attacking! ”

Yang Zhongxian quickly ascended to the high platform, and on the horizon in the distance, an endless black line was gradually getting bigger, and soon he saw the cavalry in the lead, and the banner of Western Xia erected high.

didn't have time to think about it, Yang Zhongxian shouted: "Array in the southeast, the party cavalry attack!" Signal the flanks with a warning cannon! ”

A simple sentence passed down the military order, the soldiers' movements were very fast, the sharp arrows and cannons sounded in turn, the Great Song Dynasty army was rapidly changing the military formation, from a square to a diamond shape, and the cheap corner was the flank of the big array.

The Song army has formed a habit that each military array has a herald who is responsible for listening to military orders, so the Great Song army formation will change so quickly, but even so, when the Western Xia cavalry returned, the Song army's large array could only shoot two rounds of arrow rain before the short battle.

Because it was a temporary change of formation, the army had no time to carry the heavy rejection horses, let alone dig horse pits and set up triphorse ropes, and the Western Xia cavalry almost rushed straight into the military formation.

And at this time, the Song army, which was inseparable from the ambush soldiers, had no chance to take care of the Qingtang coalition army, and it was too late to take care of themselves, who cared about these reckless and reckless people?

But it is also these reckless people in the Western Regions who gave the Great Song Dynasty the opportunity to change their formations to meet the enemy, if the former army of the Great Song Dynasty attacked the Gansu Military City, and the Chinese army and the rear army were attacked by the Western Xia ambush outside, it would be called a miserable, Yang Zhongxian even felt a little happy at this time.

These Western Xia cavalry obviously did not come from the surrounding area, the Western Route Army had already defeated Zhuo Luo and the Southern Army Division in the south when they attacked, and even if the rout army reunited, there would not be so many people.

Obviously, the number of these cavalry is far more than 10,000 people, and the back is even more continuous, and there is a great tendency to surround the Western Route Army.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhongxian broke out in a cold sweat, what the army was most afraid of attacking the city was not that it could not capture the city, but that it would be attacked from inside and outside......
