Chapter 837

"The last will obey! Did you hear it, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up, get on my horse for me, prepare to attack, prepare to attack......"

In the dense forest, the cavalry of the Song army, who had been waiting for a long time, jumped up one after another, began to saddle their horses, wiped their war knives, and lined up in a striking formation amid the suppressed cheers of the officers.

And the defenders of Xingqing Cang, at this moment, their minds were all gone with the departure of the 1,500 men and horses, and they were all muttering quietly, guessing the whereabouts of General Fang Dang.

After all, such a major event as the attack on King Xia of Western Xia was not something that these small soldiers could understand. However, under the restraint of those officers at all levels, the five hundred defenders, leaving one hundred to sit in the center, each city gate sent a hundred soldiers, and at the same time, the gates of Xingqingcang were all closed.

It's just that the function of Xingqing Warehouse is not for defense, but for storage, so the city wall is low, and the city gate is even thinner, I am afraid that it is not as thick as the gate of some large families in Xingqing Mansion.

Fang Dangshen left, and after a short commotion, Xingqingcang returned to its former calm, but the defenders of these cities didn't notice at all that from the edge of the vast dense forest in the north, a murderous elite cavalry wearing bright red robes was emerging......

#####

Fei Tingmao Ye's heart was very frightened, the Song army actually appeared in the hinterland of Great Xia, only sixty or seventy miles away from Xingqing Mansion at the royal tomb, this is special, this is too strange, right?

I heard that the Song army was making a fuss in the area of the Xiangqing Military Division, which had already shaken the whole country of Western Xia, and the Son of Heaven was furious, and finally transferred a large number of soldiers and horses, and appointed the old general A Wu as the commander to drive the enemy.

Even the garrison of Wang Ling was transferred to 1,000 horses, but here in Xingqingcang, only 500 cavalry were transferred, and 2,000 foot soldiers were safe and sound.

As a result, up to now, there has been no good news from the old general, but the Song army actually appeared here, which is so special...... Just thinking about it makes people's hearts tremble.

Could it be that the tens of thousands of troops recruited by the old general Awu have been defeated?

Just when Fei Tingmao Ye was anxious, suddenly, a rapid horn sound came from the city, which directly startled Fei Tingmao Ye, and Huo Ran's color changed.

It was an alarm of encountering the enemy, could it be that he was really a crow with a little back, and the Song army really came to this Xingqing warehouse? Fei Tingmao Ye rushed out of the room quickly, leading his soldiers towards the city wall.

On the way to run, I have heard countless hooves, like a thunderous sound, deafening, as if a sudden thunderstorm has hit ......

The defenders in the middle of the city saw that the Song army led by them was in a group of six horses, which were divided into two columns, and in the middle of them was a long, thick pointed log.

Using the speed of the war horse, even without this point, the kinetic energy that the log can generate can definitely easily destroy the simple and thin four doors of Xingqing Cang.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows, stop them!" The generals of Western Xia roared loudly and tried their best to shoot arrows by example.

But the horses that had already raised their speed to the limit were like galloping, so that most of the arrows missed, and even if a small number of arrows hit, they were stunned to find out. The horses, which were pulling pointy logs, wore vests made of leather armor.

Even if the arrows can penetrate the leather armor, they can only arouse the potential of the war horses, and cannot pose a fatal danger to them.

And the Western Xia defenders scattered in the four gates had not even been able to fully gather at the north gate, and the rain of arrows had only fallen three rounds, accompanied by a huge roar.

The north gate of Xingqing Cang, in front of the thick and heavy pointed log, was as fragile and light as a piece of paper, and it was directly smashed through a hole of a foot, and the second pointed log had also arrived, and it hit it again.

Third, fourth, fifth. The Song army had only prepared five pointed logs in total, but the third pointed log had already knocked over the broken wooden gate and collapsed on the ground.

In an instant, countless Song cavalry waved the war horses in their hands, and the sound of victory almost completely covered up the sound of hooves.

Only then did Fei Tingmaoye, who had rushed to the top of the city, look at the nearly 1,000 cavalry under the city, and also saw the Song army's iron cavalry waving a war horse along the broken north gate and killing into Xingqing Cang, his face directly turned gray-white, holding on to the female wall, and sitting down on the city wall softly. "It's over......" At this moment, Fei Tingmao Ye only had this thought in his heart.

It only took less than a pillar of incense to make Xingqingcang completely fall under the thunderous blow of the Song army's iron cavalry.

Of the 500 soldiers, except for a few who died in battle, most of them were captured, and Fei Tingmaoye, the deputy general who defended the city, led more than 20 soldiers to resist stubbornly at the head of the city, and finally all of them were shot and killed on the spot.

In Xingqing Cang, there were not only soldiers, but also hundreds of party members who were shivering, and all of them were driven to the northeast corner of Xingqing Cang to be detained.

In the Xingqing warehouse, there are dense granaries standing tall, but only about half of them have grain, and the rest are already empty.

Rao is so, the amount of grain stored here is still very amazing, which makes Li Mao and other generals of the Song army deeply gratified, I believe that burning this place will definitely make the Xixia people feel a fire in the summer, or feel the enthusiasm of the Great Song Dynasty.

"General Wu, you lead two hundred horsemen to search outside Xingqing Cang, if you find someone fleeing, you will be killed, General Chen, let the soldiers prepare all kinds of fire-starting things, prepare for you for two quarters of an hour, light the fire and burn the warehouse after two quarters of an hour, and then withdraw from Xingqing Cang and rush to the meeting place agreed with General Luo."

"No!" After receiving the order, the two generals rode away, and soon, the soldiers of the Song army were busy in the Xingqing warehouse.

The oil and gunpowder bombs they had brought with them, as well as the combustibles that could be found in this Xingqing warehouse, were gathered under the granaries where the grain was still stored.

Although two quarters of an hour was not a long time, hundreds of Song troops started together, plus full preparations, and soon all the granaries with grain were ignited, and in the billowing smoke, and the sound of explosions from time to time, the Song cavalry escorted those captured young men and soldiers, left Qingxingcang and continued to go north.

It wasn't until he left Xingqing Cang for ten miles that Li Mao ordered the release of these prisoners of war, and these young men and Western Xia soldiers with their hands tied were left to fend for themselves, while they rushed in the direction of the Western Xia Tomb.

The Xixia Tomb is about sixty or seventy miles away from Xingqing Mansion, and Xingqing Cang is in the southeast direction of the Xixia Tomb, about twenty miles away from the Wang's Tomb, and about fifty miles away from the national capital Xingqing Mansion.
