In the battle of Chungju, the Western Xia army did not break the tiles in the city, and lost more than 10,000 soldiers. At present, troops have been dispatched from Zhuo Luo and the Southern Army Division in the territory, and the defenders in the city are nearly 60,000.

For Western Xia, this is naturally a big battle that must not be taken lightly.

The six military divisions of Heishui Zhenyan in Western Xia, Weifu in Montenegro, Xiping, Gansu, Baimaqiang Town, Zhuo Luo and Nan, plus the Xiangqing Army sitting on the side of Zhongxing Mansion. The party, Han and other ethnic groups are staggered and mixed, and the forces in the army and the court can be said to be cut and disordered, with a total military strength of less than 200,000. In the Battle of Zhongzhou, Western Xia had already injured some muscles and bones, and if they were defeated again, the reputation, military strength, financial resources, and popular sentiment that Zhongsun Qifu and others had worked hard to accumulate for decades would be greatly affected.

At that time, Li Wangyuan, the prince who strongly advocated Kuizhou, was afraid that Mo would be resisted by the people and gentry in the territory.

The two roads of Lintao, Fengxiang and Lizhou, which have just been annexed, are even more unpredictable. The Yuan generals, who were originally in charge of a few roads, may not be willing to be tied to the ship of Western Xia and capsize.

Yes, although the Western Xia generals who had some confidence in defeating the White Horse Army after the hot air balloon and the thunderstorm looked relaxed, they were actually very dignified in their hearts.

Victory, Guotai Min'an. Defeated, internal and external troubles.

After Helian Cheng and the others left Li Wangyuan's side, they scattered to all parts of the city to boost morale.

At night, nearly 500 hot air balloons with flames rose into the sky outside the South City Gate.

The trumpet sounded at the head of the city.

Li Wangyuan stood still in the city.

There were only a few hundred guards at the head of the city, and they were afraid to watch the hot air balloon slowly coming.

Suddenly, Li Wangyuan turned his head and asked Zhongsun Qifu next to him, "Teacher, how is the layout outside the city?" ”

Zhongsun Qifu said: "Qi Tianjun is already in place. Just wait for the cannon to sound, and it will definitely be able to kill the White Horse Army by surprise. ”

Li Wangyuan looked up at the sky and stopped talking.

Five hundred hot air balloons approached the city.

Outside the city, hundreds of people in black robes came out of the battle in front of the white horse army, their steps were fast, their waists were thundering, and they rushed to the city gate with a cloud ladder.

The dying and old Western Xia Emperor smiled lightly: "After these White Horse Army won the victory of Zhongzhou, they really didn't take our Western Xia soldiers in their eyes. ”

Li Wangyuan gently held the double knives hanging from his waist with both hands, and snorted coldly in a low voice: "Naturally, they have to suffer." ”

With his eyesight, he could see it. These hundreds of black-robed people who were rushing in the night were all masters of the White Horse Army.

This is the sharp knife that will blow up the gates.

If it was before, hundreds of military masters were really enough. But now, it would be wishful thinking to get close to the city gates.

There was a general of the Dangxiang clan next to him who bowed his hand to Li Wangyuan, "Your Highness, are you ready to meet the enemy?" ”

Li Wangyuan looked at Zhongsun Qifu, and the old emperor stroked the gray beard that hung down to his chest and nodded slightly.

The generals of the Dangxiang clan shouted: "Prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

Li Wangyuan walked down the city with Zhongsun Qifu, raised his head and looked at the sky again, "Tuoba Sen is afraid that he will never be able to go down to the city again?" ”

Zhongsun Qifu said: "The city gate will be broken." It is more useful for Tuoba to sacrifice his life for the country than to live. ”

The compound surname is Tuoba, and he is a top wealthy nobleman in Western Xia. It can be called the most deep-rooted ancient family in Western Xia except for the royal family of Western Xia.

Tuoba Sen was born but a stub of the Tuoba family, belonged to the Xiangqing Army, and was a thousand-commander. Originally, he may not be used to defend the city, but Zhongsun Qifu recommended him to Li Wangyuan, obviously having some scheming in his heart.

Li Wangyuan didn't ask much, nodded, and walked deeper into the city.

is just Tuoba Sen, and his death will not make the Tuoba family dissatisfied. He, Li Wangyuan, naturally didn't care too much.

Five hundred hot air balloons arrived at the head of the city, carrying the arrogance of this victory in Chungju, and threw thunder as soon as they arrived at the head of the city.

Rocks flying.

The city was filled with gunsmoke.

In the smoke of gunpowder, hundreds of Xiangqing soldiers fled in a panic.

Someone wanted to go down to the city, but the prison guards who were blocking the stairs did not hesitate to draw their swords and kill them on the spot.

Tuoba Sen's eyes flashed fiercely, just as this was an opportunity for meritorious service. Jumping quickly on the top of the city, his eyes were always staring at the hundreds of black-robed people under the city.

Although he is a member of the Tuoba family, he has fallen to the Xiangqing army, and obviously has no status in the Tuoba family. Those in the Tuoba family who had great influence on Western Xia may not even know that he exists. If he wants to climb up, he can only rely on his own hands to accumulate military merits.

Not every wealthy family can easily ascend to a high position beyond the reach of others.

The Tuoba family has been in the Tuoba family for hundreds of years, and the strength of the clan is mainly inclined to those who are upright or have extremely high talents, how can it be his turn to Tuoba Sen?

After a few minutes of bombardment by the overhead hot air balloons, more than half of the defenders at the head of the city suffered casualties.

But the thunder kept falling.

In the city, there were Western Xia generals who led several armies to run to the city, but the total number was not more than a thousand.

Hundreds of black-robed people outside the city finally approached the city.

Tuoba Sen, who was in the prime of life, stared at him with round eyes and hoarseness: "Release the arrow!" ”

But there were only dozens of arrows scattered on the top of the city.

Now the soldiers are too busy to take care of themselves, but where can they still care about firing arrows?

Tuoba Sen can become a commander by virtue of his ability, and naturally he also has some ability. The longbow in his hand was pulled out twice in succession, close to the full moon arc, and the two black-robed people under the city fell in response.

But more black-robed people were able to rush close to the moat, and the ladder was set across the river, and the black-robed people all walked on the ladder.

This light work alone is enough to show that they are not simple.

Tuoba Sen shot a few more people and looked at the inner city under the city.

The more than 1,000 soldiers who originally wanted to climb the city were actually taken by the power of the thunder, and retreated, not daring to force the city again.

Tuoba Sen was furious, but then, he understood something.

There was thunder in the army, he knew it. But the prince and the eldest grandson asked him to guard the city gate, but he didn't give him a thunderbolt, why is this?

A look of contemplation flashed in his eyes, I am afraid that the prince and the eldest grandson of Zhongsun never thought of guarding the city gate at all!

Give somebody a dose of his own medicine?

Isn't he an outcast?

At this moment, he suddenly realized in his heart that he naturally hated. But then I thought, this is not necessarily an opportunity.

If he can get down to the city alive, the credit for this battle will not be underestimated.

Thinking like this, Tuoba Sen rubbed his arm, which was slightly numb from drawing his bow several times in a row, and stopped firing arrows at the city. Just concentrate on dodging the thunder falling from above.

The faster the gates were breached, the sooner he could leave the bombed-out city.

And the black-robed people in the city really didn't disappoint him.

Hundreds of people swept across the moat and rushed outside the city gates with scattered arrows.

There was a loud bang.

The gates collapsed unexpectedly.

Hundreds of black-robed people did not hesitate, did not enter the city, and even if they turned around, they ran towards the other side of the moat.

The war drums in the White Horse Army were like thunder, and they resounded continuously in an instant.

More than 10,000 foot soldiers shouted to kill the heavens, and attacked the city gate together.

Tuoba Sen immediately shouted: "Abandon the city." ”

Then he took the lead and rushed down to the city.

Five hundred hot air balloons floated into the city in the night sky overhead.

At this time, Li Wangyuan, Zhongsun Qifu and others did not enter the city too deeply. Just off the main street, outside the teahouse, looking up at the city.

A scout came to report: "Prince, the enemy army has broken the city. The army is marching into the city. ”

Li Wangyuan nodded, "Well, let the soldiers defending the city fight and retreat." ”

The scout departed again.

Zhongsun Qifu raised his head suddenly.

Several people emerged from the shadows like phantoms.

Zhongsun Qifu said: "Inform the military horses outside the city to prepare for the fight, in addition, Tuoba Sen can't stay." ”

No one answered, except for a few people shrouded in black robes who quietly hid into the darkness.

The White Horse Army broke through the city like a bamboo.

More than 10,000 foot soldiers set up countless ladders and pontoon bridges on the moat, and rushed into the city gate.

The Western Xia army in the city shot hundreds of people in front of them with an arrow array, and they were rushed to the front by the elite infantry of the White Horse Army. The battle array was chaotic, and the two armies fought endlessly.

Shouting and killing.

At the gates of the city, countless people shed blood.

Tuoba Sen took the remaining more than 100 people under his command down to the city, watched not far away, and did not come forward to participate in the battle.

Outside the city.

Shen Yongyi sat on his horse in silver armor and white robe, with a chuckle on the corner of his mouth, "The Western Xia army is still so vulnerable. ”

He waved his hand again.

The snare drum beats again.

This time, it was not just more than 10,000 people who entered the city, but all the remaining soldiers poured into the city.

The bursts of artillery in the city made Shen Yongyi feel that it was already easy to take this eternal city.

Although the Western Xia army was not weak in battle, what did they do to resist the thunder?

Just rely on those bows and arrows, ballistas, and knife carts that were gradually treated coldly in the White Horse Army after the birth of the thunderbolt?

In the face of thunder, these things are just chickens and dogs.
