Xiping Mansion is the original Lingzhou, the first Lingzhou, the Western Han Dynasty Hui Emperor four years. Cause: The garden is called Ma Muye. The water can live in the continent, this place is in the island of the river, with the water high, has not tasted submerged, so it is called Lingzhou.

On its side is an important tributary of the Yellow River, the Lingzhou River, which flows all the way to the Qingyuan Military City of Qinggang Peak in the Great Song Dynasty, and to the north is the hinterland of Western Xia, Jingzhou, Shunzhou, Huaizhou, and the capital of Western Xia, Xingqing Mansion!

The importance of Xiping Mansion can be seen, this is the gateway of the capital of Xixia, and it is also an important cornerstone of Cao Yun, if the Great Song Dynasty gets Xiping Mansion, there will be a steady stream of supplies through the Lingzhou River, and the power of water transport can sometimes be much stronger than land transport.

Of course, Di Qing saw this, and he naturally saw this, Xiping Mansion is also a battleground for Western Xia, he is the gateway to Xingqing Mansion, once lost, the state in the belly of Western Xia will be completely exposed to the Great Song Dynasty.

At the same time, he also knew that if Xiping Mansion was occupied by the Song people, the Song people would definitely turn this place into an important walled city, and continue to attack the Western Xia through here, once the Song people gained a foothold, it would be a disaster.

The Song army is not good at fighting alone, and Pang knows this very well, while the army goes deep into the belly of the Western Xia, the Song people need a lot of replenishment, which is directly proportional to the combat power of the Song people, just like the Southern Route Army, once they go deep into the principle of supply, they will be surrounded by the Western Xia!

The Tangut people fought the enemy in the land they were most familiar with, and the easiest way was to use the terrain and surprise attacks, obviously triggering a war on a huge scale to confront the whole country, and the Tangut would definitely suffer.

The Tanguts withdrew quickly, and they wanted to rush to Xiping Mansion to garrison in case the Great Song army took advantage of the situation to cover up, which was obviously the most correct choice, so that they had a lot of time.

Scheduling on the battlefield was always difficult, either the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were bored waiting for the artillery to arrive again, which would waste a lot of valuable time, or they used their flesh and blood to attack Xiping Mansion, which the Tanguts had already prepared.

Between the two, Yang Huaiyu chose the latter, time is the most important for the Great Song Dynasty, and before the Western Expedition, the official family had explained that he must take the gateway of Xiping Mansion as soon as possible.

Now that the military heart is available, Yang Huaiyu will naturally not waste it, and the soldiers of the Southern Route Army have a strong fighting spirit in their hearts, and Xiping Mansion is the best target for them to vent, and sometimes using the feelings of the officers and soldiers in the army is also the homework that the commander has to do.

Xiping Mansion, the important town of Xixia has long become a hedgehog armed to the teeth, thanks to the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, Li Yuanhao has been absorbing the advantages of the Han family's city defense for so many years, strengthening the defense in case of accidents, and now it is finally used, the city wall has been increased to more than five zhang, and there is even a living water from the Lingzhou River as a moat.

The banner on the city wall is displayed, the armor is like a forest, all kinds of defensive weapons are readily available, and there is even a special crossbow arrow similar to the ratchet crossbow of the Great Song Dynasty.

He believes that with this sharp weapon, the Song people will pay a great price for attacking the city, and the rangers will report that the Song people did not bring the terrifying weapon to break the city, which is another reason why they did not hide the confidence of Pang Pang.

The siege battle was extremely tragic, but the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty had no intention of retreating, and the generals who led the troops, the commander, Yu Hou, and the captain, took the lead in the charge, and saw that their generals were desperate, and the soldiers forgot to die.

"Erlang of the family, you don't have gunpowder bombs in the army, even if you take all the people of the Southern Route Army in this fight, you won't be able to get to the city!"

He raised his shield to block the crossbow arrows shot from the city and shouted: "Huang Datou, what are you talking about, of course the gunpowder bullets are in time, but the number is not enough, not enough to blow up this city wall!" ”

Huang Datou said with a smile: "It's so easy to do, let the brothers who are besieging the city send all the gunpowder bombs to the damn one, let's play big for the Xixia people!" ”

Chong's eyes lit up, and then let the soldiers give an order, and soon the Southern Route Army siege department brought gunpowder, along with several crash cars covered with thick cowhides, their task was not to hit the city gate, but to use it as cover, when Huang Datou and Chong Yu saw the mountain of flame bombs piled up in front of them, their eyes widened, they didn't expect that there were so many gunpowder bombs in the army.

After swallowing dryly, Huang Datou asked in surprise: "Grandpa Tian, do we have so many gunpowder bombs?" ”

"There should be, in wartime, each commander sends someone to receive it, and there is a quota, and no one knows how many gunpowder shells there are in the army."

With gunpowder bullets, the siege soldiers began to beat the city wall frantically, this city wall and the city wall of the Great Song Dynasty in the past, are built-in rammed earth wrapped in bricks and stones, after the masonry is knocked out, and then use a chisel to open a hole, the only difference is to open a very large hole, otherwise it can not accommodate so many gunpowder bullets.

Time passed, and the Tangut people quickly noticed that something was wrong with these crashing cars, crossbow arrows, rockets kept greeting to the crashing cars, even if there was a thick cowhide in front of them, and the soldiers had no choice but to block them with shields and continue to dig the city wall.

In order to reduce their pressure, the army increased the intensity of the attack, although there were only 30,000 men, Yang Huaiyu commanded the army to make full use of the limited defensive terrain of the city wall to launch an attack, so that the soldiers under the collision worked hard to dig.

Huang Datou and his brothers took great effort to dig enough pits in the city wall, and they knew the basic principle of gunpowder, and the more enclosed the space, the greater the power of the explosion, so the thick cowhide on the crash was removed and covered with these gunpowder bullets.

When the gunpowder bullets were ready, Huang Datou withdrew with his subordinates, so many gunpowder bullets piled up like mountains to fill the city wall, and I don't know how powerful it is to explode, so it is better for his subordinates to withdraw first.

And the same is true of the kind of remarks, at the moment when the long fuse was lit, he released a signal into the air, and the army of the Great Song Dynasty retreated like a tide, leaving no one left, which made the Xixia people a little confused.

Soon they knew why, a loud bang accompanied by the destruction of the earth and the shaking of the mountains appeared, and a large section of the city wall was drowned in dust in the eyes of the unconcealed pang, and the stones fell like raindrops, and the screams rang out, and the whole battlefield became a little deaf, and everyone near the city wall had a thick layer of dust on their bodies, constantly screaming something, but they could not hear what others said at all, and along with the fall of the masonry and tiles, some stumps and broken arms were collected......

At this time, the sound of the Song people attacking sounded outside the city wall...... I didn't hide it, and Pang knew that this was a means of the Song people.
