Chapter 445: Heavenly Dao is a good reincarnation
Xiping Mansion, that is, the former Lingzhou, the Lingwu of the Li Tang Dynasty, and the location of the Shuofang Jiedu Envoy. During the Anshi Rebellion, Suzong Li Heng and Ma Weiyi ran to the northwest after the mutiny, and they ascended the throne in Lingwu.
But this important military town in the Li and Tang dynasties fell into the hands of Zhao Song, but it was captured by the party as early as more than 100 years ago when Li Yuanhao's grandfather Li Jiqian was the master of the house.
This is the former capital of the party, and at the same time, Xiping Mansion is also the last barrier in front of Xingqing Mansion.
Because from here, it is to enter the N-Xia Plain.
In other words, when the Song army was killed here, the prospects of the party members were already very unpleasant. This means that the loss of Hengshan means that the essence of Western Xia has been exposed in front of the Han people, and it means that the geographical advantages of the party people have disappeared.
"Win!"
The smoke of gunpowder dispersed in the city of Xipingfu, and several gaps in the city wall in front of him could be faintly seen, and the gaps were almost covered with corpses. The Song army, which had entered the city, was retreating towards the gap, followed by more than a thousand weak and crazy party members.
Brother Richard didn't care about the other party's divine arm bow, went to the front line in person, looked at the Song army who retreated, and sighed happily.
"Although the firearms of the Song people are sharp, but I am a big white country, as long as the top and bottom have the same desire, and everyone is united, I can also keep Han'er out of the country."
Several Western Xia generals behind him nodded yes one after another, even if there were too many disapprovals in their hearts, but in front of King Jin, they could only say yes. Turning a blind eye to the casualties paid by the Western Xia in this battle in the city at least twice as many as the Song army.
Brother Richard is a famous general of the party, and he is the younger brother of the lord of the country Li Qianshun. Now he led the main force of Western Xia and retreated from Hengshan to Xiping Mansion, obviously suffering many defeats in a row, but he still held the military power, and no one could shake his power.
The echo of the people behind him was not imprinted in Richard's heart, and he waved his hand and ordered to dispatch another team of 1,000 people to squeeze out the Song army as soon as possible. These days, the Western Xia army has suffered defeats, and even in the battle of Xiping Mansion, the morale of the soldiers is not high.
It's just that everyone knows that as soon as the Xiping Mansion is broken, hundreds of miles of flat and fertile fields will completely open the door to the Song army, and the Great White Gaoguo is really about to become a thing of the past - at the beginning of the Zhezong Dynasty, the Song army's offensive was also very urgent, and the prosperity of Zhang Qi's side work was the most in the Western Army. But now that the Western Xia is on the verge of extinction again, who can they ask for help?
The Jurchens in the East?
They really didn't want the Western Xia to perish, but what if they didn't? Now the Jurchens are just breaking their brains, and they can't open the Yuguan Pass, and they can't take the Gubeikou.
With Yanshan in hand, the Song army only needed 350,000 soldiers to keep the Jurchens out. Because they still have firearms in their hands.
Therefore, the party members can only rely on themselves now, and they can only fight to the death, otherwise the foundation of more than 100 years will only be in vain.
Richard was very happy on his face, because by his desperate efforts, when the Song army after the city wall was blown up, he had withdrawn to the defenders gathered in the inner city two hundred steps away from the city wall, shouting to kill. After a burst of desperate fighting against Mai Mang, the Song army retreated.
As the commander of the army, of course he must be happy. Even if it's just a look of joy on the face!
Since the earth-shattering thunder came out, there are really few things that the Song army can be killed by the defenders in the city after breaking the city. On the party side, it is the first time in the world. It stands to reason that this is a good thing, at least it can boost the morale of the army, but Brother Richard is very bitter in his heart.
In order to kill the Song army, the Western Xia side paid at least twice the price, and this was the first round of the Song people's siege. In the future, how can the morale of the defenders still be as high as it is today, and they are so fierce and not afraid of death?
What will happen to this Xiping Mansion at that time?
Not to mention such desperate work, how many people can fill in the party items?
Before the sorrow in his stomach could be vomited, the call for urgent news came into his ears, and Brother Richard thought to himself, could it be that the news of the battle situation in the west has come out?
"Your Majesty urgently summons the king and quickly returns to Kyoto (Xingqing Mansion)."
Back to Xingqing Mansion? What about Xiping Province? Don't keep it?
Brother Richard was stunned, where is this? There is a war going on, what is the chaos behind it?
After receiving the urgent order, he suddenly realized, and then his heart was as cold as ice, it was Li Liangfu who was defeated, the Black Mountain Fuwei Military Division was broken, and the Song army killed from Tiandezhou had come along the Yellow River, and it was about to be killed to the right wing of the Chaoshun Military Division.
The Right Wing Chaoshun Military Division, like the Black Mountain Fuwei Military Division, is also one of the twelve supervising military divisions of Western Xia, but the Ding Zhuang gathered by its department has long been divided into two, one part to the north to reinforce Montenegro, and part to the south in the hands of Brother Richard, now where is an empty shell, how can it stop the Song people?
Brother Richard's head was slightly dizzy, why was Montenegro defeated? Li Liangfute is useless.
"How's this good, my lord? In front of the city, it is the main force of the Song people, once the army is withdrawn, won't Xiping be handed over? If they are aiming at Xingqing Mansion, then, then ......"
The general's words are not complete, but how can the dignitaries in the account not understand? At that time, Xixia really lacked the skills to return to the sky.
Li Heda sat silently in it, silent.
Looking at the sighs of the party dignitaries in the tent, looking like they were about to face a catastrophe, his heart was as comfortable as eating ginseng fruit, and every pore on his body was full of comfort.
It's really a cycle of heavenly principles, and retribution is not happy.
At the beginning of the fall of the Great Liao, you Xixia was powerless to rescue it, but it was hateful that Li Qianshun actually killed the prince first, and then killed the queen (Yelu Nanxian) - these two people were definitely not Li Qianshun's own hands, let alone died under the sword, but the death of their mother and son was recorded on Li Qianshun's head by Li Heda.
It's a pity that he Li Heda is weak and can't stand out, on the contrary, he has to act cautiously, lest he be caught in the sore spot. He didn't even dare to send someone to find Jerod Dashi. In the past few years, although he has hated the party and others in his heart, he is just powerless to retaliate.
Because Li Heda is a Khitan, his surname is Xiao, Li is after he came to Western Xia with Hu Yelu Nanxian, because he is brave and good at riding and shooting, and has many military exploits in the expedition, so he was given the surname of the country by Li Qianshun and promoted to the capital of Xiazhou, in order to show his attention.
It can be said unceremoniously that Yelu Nanxian's mother and son are Li Heda's masters, but unfortunately, with the demise of the Liao State, all the Khitans in Western Xia have become rootless duckweed, and no matter how much hatred he has, he can only bury it in his heart.
But it didn't come to pass, but the weak Song people suddenly became powerful. Since the Yan King was born, in a short period of time, he first drove out the Jin captives, and then unified the country, and now he only has a few days to catch his breath, so he immediately mustered up the courage to shout and kill Xixia.
It's really extraordinary, it is worthy of being the person who drove out the Jin Yu, and as soon as he made a move, he beat Xixia unspeakably. It seems that it will repeat the mistakes of Da Liao and perish.
Li Heda, no, he is Xiao Heda, and his heart is really happy. If it weren't for his strong self-control, he would have laughed out loud.
That's why he remained silent. And this will not arouse the suspicion of others, because since the death of Yelu Nanxian's mother and son, Xiao Heda has completely withdrawn his minions and obediently meditated at home to participate in Zen.
Brother Richard was also worried that he would make trouble in the current situation, so he took it with him in the army, but he didn't entrust it to reuse it at all.
Everyone knows that Xiping City cannot be abandoned, but Xingqing Mansion is in an emergency, and Brother Richard must return to the division immediately.
In the face of such a cruel reality, no matter how much everyone discusses, the final answer can only be to divide the army. Brother Richard led a part of the people back to Xingqing Mansion, and then led people to guard Xiping Mansion in the name of the general.
Xiao Heda laughed wildly in his heart, Wei Ming Shouguang is a fart, that is, the Xixia clan, which can reassure Brother Richard. If it is about real skills, where can he rank well?
It's all at this time, Brother Richard is still doing this, and this Western Xia is bound to die.
