After having dinner in the inn, the group left the town, went to the Haimenzhai ferry, and then went north.

Turandot and Le Chan appeared at the same time, equally divided, both delicate and cute, which once again caused some fluctuations inside and outside the town.

Just looking at Huang Liujia and the others, no one dared to move lightly.

When it arrived at the ferry, it attracted a lot of discussion among the crowd.

The old turtle floating on the water was pointed at by countless people, and the crowd was even more amazed when they saw the monk Wude and Lewu standing on the back of the turtle.

Some people say that this old turtle is afraid that it is going to become a sperm.

Without the monk and Le Chan, they would not pay attention to their words, and the old turtle walked smoothly towards the sea.

The sunset swept over the sea, and the golden light said.

There is no monk like a Buddha.

Some Buddhists knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

In the eyes of ordinary people, there is no monk riding an old turtle, which is tantamount to a Taoist immortal riding a crane. This is something that only a man of the gods can do.

Huang Liujia and others also took Turandot on the boat, followed the old turtle, and continued to go towards Fujian.

They didn't ask, and the monk didn't say. But everyone knows that the monk Wude has already made a move, and he will escort them until Fujian.

And a long way in front of the old turtle, there are also ships heading towards Fujian. Taki's desire and Wu Amiao's master and apprentice were on the boat.

The sea is vast, and I don't know the way forward.

Le Chan, who was sitting on top of the old turtle, was a little dazed, and Turandot, who was standing on the board, was also stunned.

In this way, more than ten days passed.

When Fujian Road was still calm, the war on Kuizhou Road finally broke out.

Zhao Dongting had reached a peace agreement with the Yuan Dynasty and showed his sincerity to Li Wangyuan. Now, it is naturally time for Li Wangyuan to show his sincerity.

A full 50,000 Western Xia soldiers stationed in Liangshan sent to Chungju and arrived outside Chungju a few days ago. In the early hours of the morning, trumpets sounded outside the city, and the army approached the city.

Chungju County is the capital of Chungju, also known as Nambin County. When it was under the jurisdiction of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was an important military town.

The height of the city wall of Chungju County is not comparable to that of ordinary county seats.

At this time, there were more than 10,000 white horse troops in the city. However, this can still reflect how indifferent the White Horse Army is to the Western Xia Army.

The White Horse Army in Shuzhong has nearly 30,000 light horsemen to Kuizhou, but now it will only gather more than 10,000 to block Western Xia, what is it that is not contempt?

At the head of the city, the white horse sergeant with a white ribbon wrapped around his arm could not even see much solemnity on his face, as if he was confident.

In Kuizhou, they have won consecutive battles, and their morale has been raised to the peak.

The 50,000 Western Xia troops approached the north gate in neat steps, and the formation was strict.

At the forefront, there are more than 100 huge catapults. Next to it, there are countless boulders pushed by flatbed trucks.

They didn't have thunder, they didn't have grenadiers, they still used this old-fashioned catapult.

Li Wangyuan was wearing armor, and he was no longer holding a double sword in his hand, but a spear. The spear stood upright, the tip of the blade flickering in the morning light.

Next to him were several young Western Xia generals.

After that, there is the sprawling military flag.

50,000 people, which can be described as a vast number.

At the head of the city, there was a white horse army general wearing silver-white armor standing proudly, shouting at Li Wangyuan under the command of the city commander: "Western Xia thief, how dare you attack my Great Song City?" ”

Li Wangyuan under the city was slightly stunned, then snorted disdainfully, and shouted: "You thieves in Shu, you are really shameless." did the thing of usurping the country, and even dared to call himself a person of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Ordinary people don't understand the strangeness, and he, Li Wangyuan, as the prince of Western Xia, naturally can't not understand.

Dali and Shuzhong are one family, and now they are things that can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye in the world.

The generals of the White Horse Army just sneered, "Ridiculous, we are waiting to help the country to attack and retreat the Yuan army and revive Kuizhou, why is there a usurpation of the country?" ”

Li Wangyuan didn't bother to say more to him, "It's useless to talk more, obediently abandon the city and return to Shuzhong, you can avoid sword soldiers." ”

"Haha!"

The general of the White Horse Army laughed, "As for the remnants of your Western Xia, how dare you make a big deal of nonsense and let me wait to abandon the city?" ”

He waved.

Soon a hot air balloon was slowly rising into the sky.

Li Wangyuan's face changed slightly, knowing that it was impossible to take Kuizhou without blood, so he immediately raised the spear in his hand and shouted: "Siege!" ”

The White Horse Army came from Shuzhong, but Shuzhong was close to Kuizhou. It is unlikely that they will cut off the supply of food and grass for the White Horse Army, and they need to go deep into Kuizhou. To take the city, the only way is to attack hard.

Attacking around the city was a rare occurrence in this era, unless it was to burn and loot in the rear of the enemy army. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the supply of grain and grass to keep up.

And Li Wangyuan also had an agreement with Zhao Dongting, and Kuizhou was the old land of the Great Song Dynasty, so he naturally did not dare to massacre the people in Kuizhou Road.

The Western Xia were now the weakest of the forces vying for the world, and they needed the Song Dynasty as an ally more than Zhao Dongting's Great Song. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will soon be destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty.

A booming boom sounded.

One by one, the projectile rods of the artillery carts under the city were raised high, and boulders were thrown onto the top of the city or smashed onto the city walls.

Hundreds of artillery trucks can barely be said to be landslides. However, compared to the towering and sprawling city of Chungju, it is nothing, just like a boulder shaking the mountain.

The white horse army on the head of the city was smashed by a boulder, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. But the rest of the White Horse Army did not retreat in the slightest.

Thunderbolts were projected from the small artillery carts and fell towards the Western Xia army below.

Condescendingly, these thunderbolts shot farther than boulders, and some of them fell into the middle of the Western Xia army array.

The flames exploded.

Countless Western Xia soldiers screamed.

The Western Xia soldiers who saw the power of the thunder for the first time were all frightened, revealing a look of horror.

At the beginning, the Song Dynasty defeated the Yuan Dynasty with thunder and thunder, and regained the lost territory with extreme speed. They thought it was a little unbelievable, but now, they took it for granted.

The power of the thunder is really much greater than that of the stone.

It was just the first round of artillery fire, and the Western Xia soldiers didn't know how much they would lose more than the White Horse Army on the city.

A Western Xia general who was immediately beside Li Wangyuan hurriedly said: "Marshal, their thunder is too fierce!" Shall we retire from the army for the time being and take a long-term view? ”

Li Wangyuan raised the spear in his hand and shouted: "Siege!" ”

Wave the flag.

The snare drum goes on and on.

The Western Xia soldiers shouted and rushed to the city wall.

The artillery fire of the White Horse Army on the city is still coming out.

The Xixia soldiers had only arrived six hundred steps in front of the city, and countless cold and shining arrows appeared at the arrow battlements at the head of the city.

"Put!"

With the shouting of the generals at the head of the city, one after another crossbow arrows shot towards the Western Xia soldiers under the city.

These crossbow arrows are powerful and heavy, and they can often shoot through two or three Western Xia soldiers with one arrow.

The Xixia soldiers in the front row were hated by countless people in an instant.

The general of the White Horse Army at the head of the city just laughed.

Li Wangyuan raised his eyes to look at the city, his face was ugly. He doesn't know much about military affairs, but now, he can see that it is not easy to break through this Chungju.

The White Horse Army already had the advantage of the city wall, and now the ordnance is so much stronger. Don't say that 50,000 Xixia soldiers are 100,000, and they may not be able to take this city.

But what could he do?

Looking at the soldiers in front of him who were constantly dying, he also wanted to retire. can think of his sister Li Xiushu, and he really can't bear to give the order to withdraw from the army.

My sister has just left the Yuan Dynasty, so should she continue to live that dark day in the Great Song Palace?

The hot air balloon in Shu also floated above the Western Xia soldiers at this time.

One after another, thunderbolts fell downward.

The Xixia soldiers, who braved the rain of arrows and rushed to the moat, were blown up again.

There were many soldiers who carried ladders, but before they could put them on the moat, they were blown to pieces by thunder.

Fast forward and dozens of minutes passed.

There were 50,000 Western Xia soldiers, and no one could rush to the city gate, and there were very few people who even rushed through the moat.

The battering ram that was pushed out of the army was even more heavily treated by the white horse army in the sky, and it was blown to pieces one after another.

"Marshal, Mingjin! We can't take it! ”

"Marshal!"

"The last general begs the marshal to withdraw from the army!"

"If you keep fighting, the soldiers will die!"

More and more Western Xia generals couldn't hold it back, followed Li Wangyuan's side, and persuaded him to retreat again and again.

The siege can be said to have just begun, but the White Horse Army has already dealt them a head-on blow.

I am afraid that there are thousands of soldiers who have lost soldiers, but they haven't even touched the city gate, how can this battle be fought?

Even the battering ram has been blown up, how can this city gate be broken?
