Chapter 180: The Jedi Strikes Back
The fish jumped up and bit off the bait, and by the way, the fisherman was eaten.
As Han Shizhong said, the elite soldiers of Western Xia were ambushed along the way, waiting for the total annihilation of this rout, and the garrison of Xingqing Mansion was empty.
Who knows, the mourning soldiers rose up with great courage and captured the capital of Western Xia in one fell swoop.
Until this moment, Tong Guan and other generals were as unreal as if they were in a dream.
The old thing made a mistake, and he actually made such a miraculous feat, and there was chaos in Xingqing Mansion, Li Qianshun had just returned to the palace and was about to celebrate, when he heard a noisy sound outside.
Originally, under the fortress tactics, the Western Xia continued to lose troops and generals, and the territory shrank day by day, and it was only a matter of time before it perished.
Historically, if it weren't for the Jin people going south, the Western Army was forced to return to Kaifeng, Tokyo, to give them a breather, and the Western Xia would have died long ago.
In order to avoid the collapse of the kingdom, Li Qianshun resorted to this poisonous trick, if he was allowed to succeed, Western Xia could rise again.
Now that he has repelled the Great Song Dynasty, he can already foresee the scene of the Song army being ambushed and killed on the way to escape, why is there a chaotic sound in Xingqing Mansion at this time?
The Song army was no less than 200,000 fighting men, and there were countless farmers, carrying burdens, shovels, and even kitchen knives, all of which rushed forward with the large army.
The garrison in the city was empty, and most of the soldiers and horses were still on the periphery, packing up the materials left by the "local tyrant" Song army when they were defeated and fled.
Stepping on the corpses piled up, the Song army rushed to Xingqing Mansion like a tide, which was the capital of Western Xia where the hundred-year war never stopped, with sound facilities and abundant materials, so it was rushed in by the Song people.
The army entered Xingqing Mansion, Li Qianshun still had a chance to fight back, he immediately organized the defenders in the city, and the private soldiers of the Western Xia wealthy families, resisted step by step, and waited for the army to return to defense.
At this time, it was originally a big hidden danger of the Song army, but at this time it played a positive role.
There were many factions in the Song army, which was originally a taboo for soldiers, but at this time, it was extremely convenient.
The Shengjie Army of the Seed Family, the Folding Army, the Yang Family Army, and Tong Guan.... Everyone performs their duties, there are familiar generals and commanders, and other forbidden soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers, the Western Army is the most particular faction, and many people are several generations to serve the family.
For example, the Zhejia army, since the beginning of the five dynasties, the men of Fuzhou have fought for the Zhe family, and the Zhe family has ruled Fuzhou longer than the time of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.
In such a chaotic situation, the generals commanded their own troops and horses, and their combat power increased dramatically.
The Western Army has strong combat power, but poor military discipline... Coincidentally, poor military discipline has also become an advantage at this time.
They cut people when they saw them, which shocked the people who were about to move in Xingqing Mansion, and the Xia people did not dare to go out with the gate closed, making enough space for the Song people to enter the city.
After the Song army entered the city, the planter gave an order, and the western army ran to the various city walls with ease, and closed the gate first, so that they could close the door and beat the dog.
At this time, there was no one to attack the north gate surrounded by Tubo, and the Xia soldiers escorted the Western Xia royal family and ministers to flee to the north gate, and the Western Xia people in the north of the city also fled one after another.
At least half of the eight gates of Xingqing Mansion are burning, and the smoke column in the city is rising into the sky.
General Liu Yanqing was covered in blood, and led his soldiers and horses to set fires, and under the smoke and fire, the cries of the soldiers and civilians in the city still came with the wind, and the smoke covered the four fields.
The seed division led the Song army brigade, covered in smoke and blood, and killed the North Gate Tower.
I saw that countless people downstairs gathered into a crowd and fled for their lives from the north gate, and behind these people, there was a group of Western Xia court guards, raising knives and slashing their own people to kill a bloody way for the carriage behind them.
After Liu Yanqing set the fire, he went up to the city tower, pointed to the guards in the crowd and said: "Planting a scripture, this must be the summer thief royal family, and there will be endless trouble after letting them out!" ”
The planter nodded silently, but under the crowd, he didn't want to kill them and capture them alive.
Ordinary bows and arrows were afraid of being desperately protected by the guards, so they escaped, and the gate could not be closed at this time.
The soldiers of the Song army on the tower of the city stared, seeing that the guards were about to kill out of the city, they couldn't even go downstairs, and the crowd made it difficult for them to move an inch.
The Xia soldiers on the city tower had been killed, and the Song soldiers picked up their bows and arrows and shot downward, and in the panic, they didn't know how many people were shot down and trampled to death.
Liu Yanqing sighed and said: "After running away from the Xia Thief Emperor, the soldiers and horses of the entire Western Xia will come to besiege the city, and I will die without a place to be buried." At the end of the day, Liu Yanqing turned his head, and there were countless rolling stones and sassalwoods piled up on the city tower, prepared for the defense of the city.
"Block the gates with rolling stones!"
It was originally a sharp weapon to defend the city, but all of them smashed into the city, smashing countless flesh and blood, corpses, stones, and thorny wood, blocking the city gate alive.
In the end, when the stones were thrown, the Song army began to throw the corpses of Xia Bing, piling up a hill of stone corpses outside the north gate, and the city gate was completely blocked.
The boiling oil was poured from the city defense equipment, and these sharp weapons, which were originally used to defend the Song army, all became a nightmare for the Xia people.
In the end, Liu Yanqing set fire to this bloody "hill", and the guards in the city were dumbfounded, protecting the dignitaries in the middle, and went back to the palace.
The city wailed continuously, and the soldiers of the family grinned with teeth on their faces, and they were still building bows when they shot the tiger's mouth.
The crossbow platform of Western Xia became a peerless weapon to harvest their lives at this time.
Fishy smell, thick smoke, wailing, no one stopped, this is a life-and-death fight, if you hesitate a little, how can the Han in the northwest not know how cruel the party is.
After retreating to the palace, looking at the remnants of the defeated generals and the panicked ministers, palace laves, and eunuchs, the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun was actually exhausted to the extreme, he helped the Khitan princess Yelu Nanxian who had just been married, his back became straighter, and he said coldly: "The Song people attacked Xingjing, thinking that our Great Xia would be over?" They didn't know that as long as there was a party man, this Great Xia would not perish! The Song people are incompetent and weak, the army of King Qin is coming, we still have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, as long as they hold the palace and surround the Song people on both sides, they will die without a place to be buried! ”
Hearing the emperor's loud shout, the Western Xia soldiers couldn't help but be angry in their chests, and they all responded with a chorus, and the sound shook the four fields. If there were still people who wanted to escape from Xingqing Mansion, there was no choice at this time.
Outside the West City, the people of the Great Song Dynasty hurriedly ran to the city, if they stayed outside the city, facing the Xia army who was crazy about King Qin, the fate can be imagined.
A fat and short cook, sweating like rain with a kitchen knife, had already rushed into the city, leaving him weak and still behind.
At this time, a cavalryman rushed over, urging everyone to hurry into the city, and when he saw him, he couldn't help but scold: "Straight lady thief, short-lived splash man, when is it, you are still carrying a pot and bowl dry bird!" You stuffed bird feathers in your ears and didn't hear the military order to run away with everything? If you want to die, grandpa will give you a knife. ”
The fat man was scolded, but Nuo Nuo didn't dare to fight back, so he threw his bags away with a smile and smashed it on a man who fell to the ground.
The bloodied man was not seriously injured, mainly because he was exhausted and exhausted, and he woke up in pain.
The bloody man who fell to the ground woke up, opened his mouth and scolded: "Which dog thief is in the fuck, it hurts your own grandfather." ”
Immediately, the knight saw it clearly, his eyes widened, and he said, "Splash Han Wu!" With such a big life, you can live with blood all over your body, isn't it that the king of Hades doesn't accept gambling sticks? ”
