General Haimeng was expressionless, and a cold breath also came out.

"Let the soldiers wait for the order to go down to the city again, and kill those who do not order the city!" One more round of shelling, and then let them pull back! ”

The adjutant general panicked inexplicably, and also felt that he was following the order. "Honorable Order!"

After the second round of bombardment, the mixed shields on the walls had all been crumbled, and many planks covered their warriors like coffin doors.

The lookout hand standing on the ten-meter-high wooden tower put away his smile and shouted: "The Western Xia medium artillery is scrapped!" The wooden shield was shattered. ”

"Okay, push it closer to a kilometer."

"Honorable Order." The gunner also immediately pried up the long fixing spike.

The Han artillery stopped, which should have been a happy thing, but the Western Xia soldiers who came up couldn't laugh.

Even the wounded soldiers were shot to death, and they did not dare to leave the walls again! The artillery of the Han army advanced step by step, and it felt like the cannon was about to reach its head.

As soon as the Han army moved, the small commander immediately ran down to the city to report. He was a professional running back and forth, and the Overseers would not dare to shoot him.

"General, all the artillery of the Han army is approaching the city wall."

Admiral Haimeng frowned! I want to go up to the city wall, but I don't want to run away from the desert for a while! "In that case, go down the walls first. However, it is necessary to go up to the city at any time to observe the enemy's situation. ”

The little commander was stunned for a moment, and then immediately nodded: "General Xie." ”

Order, wait for the overseer soldiers to retreat, and then the Western Xia soldiers in the city dare to go down the city. The wounded soldiers were also lucky enough to return to the barracks to heal, and the replenished soldiers also gathered under the city wall to wait.

The southeast guard is only a city pass, and it can only garrison 50,000 soldiers and horses, but there are still more than 100,000 soldiers and horses behind the gate.

After seeing the Tangut people descend the city, a hundred 180 mm field guns also set fire to the city gate. The city wall at the city gate is the weakest link in the entire section of the city wall, and once the city gate is broken, the structure of the entire city wall will be much looser.

The work was skillful, and after two quarters of an hour the artillery was ready. A hundred guns were all pointed at the city wall above the city gate seven hundred meters away, and although there were still some small cannons at the head of the city, there were no gunners to operate them.

In order to prevent the Western Xia soldiers from suddenly coming out, there was a firearms battalion on the left and right, and 20,000 cavalry were also on standby.

The Western Xia soldiers in the city waited quietly, and many clever shield-bearers raised their shields, ready to prevent the walls from falling rubble.

In the expectation of the Western Xia soldiers, the city wall finally moved.

Boom~~

Boom~ Most of the iron balls are concentrated in the upper part of the city gate, and after being bombarded by seventy or eighty iron balls one after another, the city wall and the city gate tower that are several meters long are finally crooked.

"Ahh Let's go, let's go! "Even if the city gate is broken, the city wall and the city gate tower are also crooked.

What's going on? Many people paid attention to the two broken gates, and they couldn't help but raise their heads when they heard the shouting.

"Ah no~"

Run~Hurry~Hurry~

Unfortunately, it was still a little slower, and the city wall swept quickly to the ground with the city gate tower.

Boom ~ Boom ~ ~ As soon as the city wall fell, the rubble, wood, and tiles were also struck up in pieces.

The dense gravel and wood chips, as if they had a grudge against the Tangut people, instantly hit the running Tangut people.

"Ah~"

"No~ah~" wailed and screamed, or screamed like thunder for several kilometers around.

The dust at the gate of the city was thick, the screams were continuous, and the running sound of the surrounding soldiers was also extremely harsh.

General Haimeng, inexplicably wry smile! Why is this so! Could it be that this city wall will still recognize the Lord, and in the hands of the Han people, the city wall will be extremely strong!

When there was a gap in the city wall, Wu Li couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, good job!" What bullshit Xixia Tieguan is, it's simply a tofu scum project. ”

Veteran Chen Chang also knows some insiders! "After the pacification of the northwest during the Wanli period, these Guancheng actually did not have a fine rest! In addition, these ignorant Tangut people did not know how to maintain and reinforce, and the jade was also weathered by wind and rain. ”

The reason is so, but Wu Li didn't care: "The main thing is that our field artillery is getting stronger and stronger, although this cannon is not as heavy as the general's cannon, but it is more powerful than the general's cannon." ”

"Well, it does! It's just that these cannons are a little worse! Chen Chang suddenly couldn't help but think of the Yanhuang artillery of the Pro-Guard Army.

Wu Li knew what Chen Chang was thinking, so why didn't he want to! "Uncle Chen! Don't worry, it's time to change your outfit in a year or two! If it is equipped with Yanhuang artillery, it can destroy this gate in a few rounds. ”

Boom Boom~~ After adjusting the target, a hundred field guns began to roar rudely again.

Boom ~ Boom ~ ~ Patches of city walls fell off, and the walls that were opened were even more fragile.

"General, the walls are falling!" The generals were furious in their hearts, this Han army is so powerful, can they really resist the Xixia people!

The general of Haimeng, who retreated again and again, was already frightened!

The gap in the wall is getting bigger and bigger, and there is no possibility of blocking it anymore.

"Even if there is no city wall, you must hold the city, and when the Mongolian cavalry is dispatched, the Han army can only be trapped in place!" The horror of the Han army's firearms made General Haimeng no longer have the confidence to win! Now the only thing that can be counted on is to wait for the Mongol cavalry to cut off the Han army's food routes.

It is indeed the best policy to cut off the grain route, but the Han army, which has tens of thousands of carriages, each army will bring enough food supplies for two or three months at a time. It's okay to run out of food, but wait another two or two months.

The shelling stopped for a while and began until the afternoon.

The Han army ran and closed the team, but the Western Xia people did not smile much. The five-meter-high thick stone wall is now like a ruined wall! The entire gap has also reached sixty or seventy meters wide, and there are still many warriors in the gap.

As soon as the Han army retreated, General Hai Meng was much more relaxed.

"Plug the gap with gravel, and we'll give the Han people a gravel henge." Looking at the gravel on the ground, General Haimeng seemed to have won the battle.

Gravel Henge ~ The generals are also happy, the Gravel Henge can prevent cavalry and infantry from being more able to block firearms, and the Han army can only exchange life for life if it wants to break in. The Han army was only 120,000, but they had 200,000!

The general, who was not in a hurry to deliver the letter, also rushed to Ningxia to guard the main guard just before closing the city gate.

It was related to the military situation at the front, and the letter was quickly delivered to the military department Shangshu. However, seeing that it was not early, the military department Shangshu also planned to meet the king in person tomorrow morning.

"This Han army is really not good!" From the letters, the military department Shangshu also saw the strength of the Han army! It's even more terrifying than the elite of the Ming army back then!

Before nightfall, when the soldiers of the Han Army were chatting hotly at dinner, the headquarters of the Northern Route Army was also hotly discussed.

The chief of staff of the First Army pointed to the map and said: "Generals: Ningxia's rearguard is not too important, and the essence of Ningxia is the hinterland of Ningxia surrounded by the Helan Mountains and the Yellow River Bay. Our army did not have the support of the naval division this time, so we must not let the Tanguts take away the ferries on the riverbank. ”

At the end of the point, the chief of staff will not take care of everything.

After the chief of staff finished speaking, Chen Chang also spoke: "Tomorrow morning, we must open the city, and then the cavalry and 10,000 war cattle will immediately go to the river case to collect boats." Commander Wu, this time you will go in person. ”

Wu Li also nodded immediately: "Honorable Order." ”

Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Chen Chang spoke again: "Tomorrow, all departments will be fully firepowered, and try to eliminate the main force of the Western Xia people." After destroying these 200,000 horses, the people of the Western Xia will not be too young. Well, it's not too early, it's all gone. ”

Everyone hadn't eaten dinner yet, and as soon as the meeting ended, they all went back to their homes without stopping.

Seeing that Chen Chang was still studying the topographic map, the chief of staff couldn't help but turn around.

"Commander, let's eat first! It's been a while! ”。

Chen Chang smiled lightly and nodded: "Okay!" Chief of Staff, you should come along! We'll discuss it after we're done. ”

Although the Han army was strong, there were no Han people around to support them, and the northwest was the world of the Hu people, so Chen Chang had to be cautious.
