Fortunately, the Han army would not kill indiscriminately, and the Western Xia soldiers who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy before were still intact.

"Ah~this~ they really! The Han people will really ~" A commander's frightened pants were wet, but fortunately he knelt down quickly and begged for mercy, otherwise he would also be stabbed in a hole. Having stabbed his head with a spear, he thought he was dead.

People can't be resurrected after death, and the armor soldiers immediately retreat after finishing their work, while the remaining hundreds of Xixia soldiers are still kowtowing and swearing. Although they are full of gibberish, they may not even know what they are talking about.

"Stop! All right! Go back now and tell all the Tanguts that you will either be loyal to the Yanhuang Empire forever or fight to the death. This is the Empire: Give you the last chance of the Western Xia Ministry. Wu Li also left immediately after speaking, the screams and blind appearance of these people really made him a little uncomfortable.

This? ~ Seeing that the Han army had retreated, the Xixia people still reacted a little, just now they said that they would kill and kill, why are they so kind now.

After the hundreds of Western Xia soldiers returned to the rear acropolis, all the Western Xia people also had to consider whether to choose to die or kneel and beg for mercy if they were defeated! If you think about it, many people don't dare to make a conclusion!

Even General Hai Meng can't execute these defeated soldiers, the Western Xia soldiers are all relatives of various tribes, and if they move one person, they will implicate a tribe, and General Hai Meng must not move lightly without a good excuse.

Letting these Tangut people go back was not because Wu Li's kindness exploded, but to tell the Tangut people about the empire's decision-making. This march is not to slaughter them, so there is no need for them to have the intention of fighting to the death.

The first battle was defeated, and the Tangut people no longer had a trace of joy. also let them understand: The Han army that came this time is not the corrupt Ming border army before.

In the end, Hai Meng couldn't help but write a letter to Ningxia Wei, that is, their royal city. The combat effectiveness of the Han army has exceeded imagination, not to mention defeating them, it is not easy to hold the city wall.

After writing the letter, it was not early, and General Haimeng also explained to his subordinates: "Rest well tonight, and send the letter to the royal city early tomorrow morning." ”

"Honorable Order." The general immediately responded, but he was not in a hurry, he planned to rush back tomorrow when he had a good night's sleep, and no one was monitoring him anyway.

The Han army waited for a long time, and when they saw that the Tangut people did not move, they began to be able to disband.

The corpses in one place are still in place, and no one has even pulled away the horse meat! Wu Li could only scold: "Damn, the lazy Xixia people don't even pull away the corpse!" ”

The soldiers who had just been disbanded and rested could only start digging pits and burying the corpses again. Horse meat was difficult to eat, and the military food was sufficient, so it was simply buried with the Western Xia dead soldiers.

The night was long, and it was so fast.

As soon as the sun brightened, the artillerymen were excitedly preparing for the shelling.

As soon as the Han army outside the city moved, several artillery pieces in the city also began to prepare to fight back.

When the barracks were full of people, the general also secretly got up and left, but fortunately he did not wait until noon to leave. At this time, the departure is fast, and by the time we reach the main acropolis, it is just sunset.

General Haimeng also stood at the head of the city early in the morning and pretended to be forced, and the Western Xia soldiers in his place were also extremely serious and responsible.

"General, are these all generals' cannons?" It's too far away to see a blur.

General Hai Meng had also seen the great general's cannon, and he immediately shook his head: "Before the Ming Dynasty, there were only twenty or thirty general's cannons, but this Han army artillery was at least a hundred. It's not a general cannon, it's just a little bigger than a medium artillery! ”

Although it is not a general's cannon, hundreds of artillery pieces also make General Haimeng frightened!

"That's it! Let's go down to town first! Let the brethren hide from the guns! After saying that, General Haimeng turned and left, although the defense of the city was good, he didn't want to take any chances.

As soon as the general left, the Western Xia soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they would only pretend to force the people in the way to leave!

"Quick, put the big shield up, and tie the cotton one more time."

The Han army had many cannons, and of course the Tangut people would not wait for death stupidly, and the large shields with several layers of thick wooden planks stood at the head of the city one by one.

As soon as the big shield was erected, all the Western Xia soldiers began to laugh, this is their masterpiece, it must be enough to make the Han people frightened!

"Well, they all hide behind their shields, and don't move around without orders."

The acropolis is a bad hill on one side and a water on the other, and a stone wall of several hundred meters on the southeast side blocks the gap in the mountains and rivers.

There is only one city wall, and a total of 100 field guns of the two armies of the Guhan Army are arranged together.

"Haha! Quilt planks! The Tangut people are really whimsical! "Even in the big city of the Central Plains, the field artillery can slowly collapse, not to mention these big shields! The stone of the walls is harder than the adobe, but more brittle. Stone walls that have not been reinforced and bonded for decades are very brittle and scattered. Of course, the Tanguts would not pay attention to this, and even the craftsmen who were enslaved by them would not specifically warn them.

The poor Ningxia Sanwei did not have any extra silver and materials to maintain the city wall. The Tangut people did not let the city walls grow with grass, which was already considered conscientious.

Chen Chang didn't laugh as loudly as Wu Li, but the corners of his mouth were also full of smiles!

"Alright, let's get started!"

At the command of the commander of the northern route, the two artillery chiefs immediately went into action.

As soon as the artillery commander waved the flag, the field artillery battalion commanders immediately shouted: "Open the cannon ~ open the cannon ~~"

As soon as the order sounded, the gunner immediately pulled the gun rope fiercely.

Boom Boom~~ The whole body trembled, ignoring the others, and the gunners covering their ears stared at the city wall two kilometers away.

After the bombardment began, the first thing to be destroyed was the five medium guns on the head of the city, and the Tanguts had twenty iron balls to serve one cannon.

Boom~ The wind burst, and the speed of sound and the fireball came almost at the same time.

Boom~~Boom~~

The thick wooden shield burst open in an instant, and the flying pieces of wood were like throwing knives.

Boom~~ The stone battlements of the city wall shattered instantly, and the stones of different sizes immediately turned into cold killers.

As soon as the iron ball hit the barrel of the cannon, the fire immediately flashed out, and then the piercing sound was even more chilling.

Bell bell ~~

Boom~bump~~ As soon as the barrel flew, the gunner next to him was immediately swept in the head by the barrel.

General Haimeng was stunned for a moment, and his fingers trembled instantly. What he saw, what he heard!

Not to mention the miserable shouts, the city is now filled with patches of stone dust, and the five cannons have either fallen to the ground or are seriously displaced.

"What's going on?" He was completely stunned, how this Han man had changed! It's only been ten years, how can their firearms be so powerful!

"Ahh Save me! Save me! ”

"Hurry up~ give Lao Tzu a good time!"

The Western Xia soldiers on the head of the city want to cry without tears! What a sturdy big wooden shield, it's simply a big coffin! Under a round of cannon shots, nearly half of the wooden shield has fallen, and the Xixia soldiers under the wooden shield are even more miserable!

"Don't shout, I'll pull it out for you right away!" A meter-long piece of wood was inserted into the stomach, and the Western Xia veterans who had seen blood were panicked when they looked at it.

The Western Xia soldiers were wailing, but the gunners would not wait.

Except for the twenty guns that continued to bombard the head of the city, the other eighty field guns began to meow towards the wooden retreat.

"Open fire."

Boom Boom~~ Under the dust, a hundred fireballs flew away in an instant.

The distance of two kilometers can be reached in three seconds, and after the sonic boom is heard, there is a burst of wood and stone flying at the head of the city.

"Ah~no~"

"Ah~" just wrapped the blood, and was smashed again, the Western Xia soldiers are bitter! You might as well be as good as the brother next to you! Although there is a big mouth in the neck, it dies quickly.

After two volleys of artillery, half of the Western Xia soldiers at the head of the 500-meter city were either seriously injured or lightly wounded.

"General! Why don't you go down the city wall first! Wait for the shelling to end, and then go to the city! "The head of the city wailed again and again, and those who were not hurt were lying on their stomachs like dogs!
