1. Li Jing launched a frantic attack on Xingqing Mansion, and all the people of Western Xia within a radius of 100 miles were recruited, on the one hand, piling up earth mountains, and on the other hand, transporting bricks and stones. The Huihui cannon either fired bricks and stones, or fired cannonballs, and the entire city wall of Xingqing Mansion was hit by Huihui artillery in one day, and the Western Xia army suffered heavy casualties, even with the people in the city.

Perhaps Helian Tieshu's command ability is not as good as that of Ji Laiyi, but at this time, the people of the entire Xingqing Mansion fought bravely under the leadership of the Western Xia royal family, and these people risked their lives to repair the city walls, and they also had to collect bricks and stones after demolishing their own houses. Although Li Jing also ordered the army to charge, under the courageous resistance of the Western Xia army, he left behind the corpses and fled in embarrassment.

However, in one day, Li Jing's men lost more than 1,000 people, and the result was that the Xixia city wall was full of holes, and Li Jing's army did not enter Xingqing Mansion.

"I didn't know the madness of the Xixia people without attacking the Xingqing Mansion of the Western Xia, and now I finally see it, the people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death. The Tangut people were so crazy that the minister thought that if there was no other way, the minister would still suggest withdrawing the army. Zhao Ding sighed slightly in the big tent.

"Any nation, if you want to conquer him, you must first conquer him physically, and then spiritually, if you don't conquer physically, how can you start from the spirit, Your Majesty wants to conquer the Western Xia, first of all, you must conquer the territory of the Western Xia, and then conquer the hearts of the Western Xia people." Yelu Dashi retorted: "Right now, our hundreds of thousands of troops are coming, and there are all the countries and tribes in the Western Regions to help, and in the end, we haven't even attacked a small Xingqing Mansion, not to mention that the more the resistance of the people in the Western Xia, even the countries of the Western Regions will also look down on my Datang." The war must be fought in one go, and troops must never be dispatched. ”

"Yes, this soldier must not be withdrawn, but if you want to break through Xingqing Mansion, I'm afraid it will be very difficult!" Li Jing looked at the city wall in the distance and sighed slightly. The generals were also silent.

Xingqing Mansion City God Temple, City God Temple is dilapidated, the original majestic City God statue even the head has been split in half, under the dilapidated case, an old beggar is lying there, making a burst of breathing, breathing like thunder, the old road can be heard, there are several beggars gathered together not far away, these beggars look at the old man from time to time, and their eyes are full of respect.

"Master." There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and I saw several beggars striding in, the leader of whom had big ears, a tiger's back, and a wooden stick in his hand, although he was dressed in rags, but he could not hide the momentum on his body. As soon as the man saw the old man, he immediately stepped forward and fell to the ground, and said loudly: "Emperor Tang has led an army of nearly 300,000 soldiers to the city. ”

The old beggar suddenly opened his eyes when he heard this, only to see a cold light burst out of his eyes, extremely sharp, he didn't look like an old man at all, his body was majestic, and he sneered: "I didn't expect that for hundreds of years, the soldiers of the Son of Heaven of the Han family actually came to Xingqing Mansion, it's really interesting, Guo Qing, what do you think?" ”

"Although we are beggars, we are also descendants of the Han family, and the master and disciple think that they can accept the son of the Han family." Guo Qinghu's eyes flashed with excitement, looking at his master.

"What about you?" The old beggar looked at the beggars around him, these beggars were basically of Han blood, or the lower class of the Western Xia people, who were oppressed by the Western Xia nobles before they became beggars.

"Obey the leader's orders." In the temple of the city god, a group of beggars fell to the ground one after another. This is also in this dilapidated City God Temple, coupled with the war season, no one pays attention, otherwise, such a sound is enough to alarm the Xixia people.

The beggar was originally a lower-class person, bullied by others, and even after being killed, the government would not hold the other party accountable, even if no one bullied, he lived a life without a meal on weekdays, and he didn't even know when he would die, that is, the old beggar in front of him, who entered Xingqing Mansion decades ago, and an inadvertent move made the beggars in the entire Xingqing Mansion take it as the master and become the leader of the beggar gang.

"When the old beggar came to Xingqing Mansion, he originally just wanted to find a place to spend the rest of his life, but he didn't expect that he would be the leader of the gang called Huazi, and over the years, he has gradually become bigger, among you, some of you are of Han Miao descent, and some of them are ordinary people who were persecuted by the Western Xia nobles, in the eyes of these nobles, you are shit, and now that the Tang Emperor is killed, if you want to live a life of a human being, you must welcome the Tang Emperor into the city, but there will be casualties here, are you ready?" The old beggar looked at the crowd and said.

"Gang leader, I heard that the Tang Emperor is fierce and brutal, killing countless people, if we welcome him into the city, will we be killed by him?" A middle-aged beggar asked with some concern.

"As long as you make meritorious deeds, how can you be killed?" The old beggar looked at him and said, "There are more than 1,000 beggars in our city, and if we attack suddenly, we may not be able to take the city gate, but so many beggars gathered together will make people wonder, what can you do?" ”

"Master, a strong attack is definitely not possible, the entire city gate is the most heavily defended place of the Tangut people, not only the Tangut army, even the people of the Tangut have joined the defense, although we have a lot of people, the master is strong in martial arts, but with the guns and sticks in our hands, we are definitely not the opponent of these regular armies." Guo Qing thought for a while and said.

"That maybe, the methods used by the helper to train us over the years are no less than the army of the Western Xia, if we organize our people, it may not be impossible to give the Western Xia people a blow, open the city gate, and cooperate with His Majesty the Emperor." A middle-aged beggar thought for a moment and said.

"Although the old man's method of training you is actually the method of training the forbidden army of Zhao and Song on weekdays, Guo Qing is right, we want to gather all together It is very noticeable, and the people of Western Xia will not agree." The old beggar shook his head.

"What does the master mean?" Guo Qing was surprised for a while, he didn't expect that the training method of himself and others on weekdays actually came from the forbidden army, although Zhao Song had perished, but the training method of the forbidden army was not something that ordinary people could have. Thinking of the combat effectiveness that the old beggar showed on weekdays, it was clear to me for a while that this old beggar was probably not an ordinary person.

"Burn." The wooden stick in the old beggar's hand hit the floor tiles fiercely, smashing the floor tiles out of a big hole, he said viciously: "Water and fire are ruthless, since you can't get water, then use fire, start burning from the west of the city, the west of the city are all nobles, these people are against the Tang Emperor, we directly burned them, as long as it causes chaos in the city, it will definitely facilitate the Tang army to attack." ”
