Chapter 851: The First Good News Since the Offensive and Defensive War of the Three States (Second Update)

Chapter 851

It's just that what Xifeng Zhenlie didn't expect was that the nearly 6,000 soldiers in the city also quietly escaped, leaving less than 4,000 people left.

When such news reached the ears of the fine seal true lie through his subordinates, the fine seal true lie did not show with killing and torture as he threatened at the beginning, except for a bitter smile.

The sky gradually changed from pitch black to bright, and when the sun jumped out of the horizon, the people in Yinzhou City could be evacuated.

At this time, the camp of the Song army, which had been slowly pressed to a stone's throw away from the city wall, finally sounded the sound of war drums that shook the sky, and countless voices of the Great Song Dynasty Wansheng danced with flags, and the brave soldiers rushed towards Yinzhou City like a stormy wave.

This time, the Song army, which was like a storm crashing on the shore, did not retreat after fighting for a while like last night, but advanced and forced again. There were only more than 4,000 exhausted defenders, almost all of whom were wounded, and they had collapsed before they could support two pillars of incense.

After his death, more than 2,000 soldiers who were still alive laid down their weapons, and on the twentieth day when Youzhou City was trapped by the Liaoxia coalition army, Yinzhou City was captured by the Great Song Dynasty.

At this moment, the 20,000 reinforcements sent by the Liaoxia coalition army arrived belatedly and arrived in Shizhou on the second day of the fall of Yinzhou.

After receiving the news of the fall of Yinzhou, the chief general of the reinforcements, the king of the Western Xia Jin Dynasty, was really a little confused.

Finally, the commander of the Liaoxia coalition army agreed to send 20,000 troops to help, but now, after the army has crossed the Wuding River, it has already received the news that Yinzhou City has fallen, and the main general Xifeng Zhenlie has killed himself at the head of Yinzhou City.

Shizhou's commander Xiang Li Zhongye hung his head and stood aside, and glanced at the Jin King Wei Mingcha who was sitting on the main seat with a gloomy face out of the corner of his eye.

"Why don't you send reinforcements to Yinzhou?" Brother Wei Mingcha slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, put aside the discomfort in his heart, and his knife-like gaze fell on Xiang Li Zhongye's body.

"Your Highness, it's not that the last general is unwilling to send, but I really don't dare to send it, my Shizhou now has less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and there is nothing to do with Yinzhou.

If there are fewer reinforcements, not only will it not help, but it will be eaten by the Song army neatly, if it is too much, when it comes, maybe the Song army will simply leave only some soldiers and horses to trap Yinzhou, and come directly to my Shizhou for trouble. ”

"If Shizhou is lost, then Yinzhou is equivalent to the bag of the Song people, and if Shizhou is there, even if Yinzhou is lost, at least Shizhou can still stop the Song army from encroaching on the eastern region of my Great Xia......"

The reason for Ritchie's exuberant words made Brother Wei Mingcha not know what to say for a while, after all, what he said was also very reasonable.

Yinzhou is important, but Shizhou's strategic position is more than Yinzhou, compared to it, Brother Wei Mingcha also knows that if you want to let yourself choose, you can only give up Yinzhou and stick to Shizhou.

Because the location of Shizhou is more dangerous, it is also the hub of Longzhou and Yinzhou and the Left Wing Divine Brave Army. If this place is lost, then the eastern territory of Western Xia will be divided into two by the Song State, and in that case, it will be even more difficult for the eastern part of Western Xia to support the situation.

"Alas......" Brother Wei Mingcha sighed faintly, who can be blamed? Blame Li Zhongye for not sending troops? Please, there are less than 10,000 horses left in Shizhou's defenders, and there are too many factions, how can Shizhou defend? If there is less faction, it is equivalent to being blind.

The reason why the eastern part of Western Xia has become so weak is, in the final analysis, to blame for the fact that before Xiaoliang's defeat at Hongdezhai last year, Liang Yikui's old man led tens of thousands of elite divisions of Western Xia to surrender to the Song court, offering the land of Youyou and Hongzhou, and was successfully attacked by the Song army in Yanzhou.

This is the fundamental reason why the current military strength of Western Xia is unsustainable, and if the lord Li Qianshun was in power at that time, if he showed tenderness to the Liang family, even if it was to show favor first, it would not be too late to clean up after the Liang family's military power was collected.

But Li Qianshun, the lord of the country who has been aggrieved for many years, doesn't want to wait for a moment, or rather, he is afraid that he will live in the shadow of the Liang family all his life like his father.

That's why as soon as there is a chance, he will overturn the Liang family under the table as soon as possible, and the result is that Liang Yi, who is leading the army, has found an opportunity.

It's just that it's all in the current situation, and it's useless to blame anyone.

"You can't blame you for this matter, it's better to carefully collect the soldiers and civilians who came out of Yinzhou, and the soldiers are included in the city defense of Shizhou, and the people must also try to settle them, in addition, those soldiers and people who have retreated from Yinzhou must be carefully clarified, and they must not be mixed with the spies of the Song State."

"Xiaguan understands, it's just that the Song army is now newly seized Yinzhou, and its foothold is not stable, why doesn't His Highness inform the coalition army anymore, and then send more troops and horses to recapture Yinzhou at this time, otherwise, let the Song State take hold, Xiaguan is worried, I'm afraid that Yinzhou, and like the land of the three states, it will no longer ......be owned by my Great Xia."

"Enough!" Brother Wei Mingcha couldn't help but snort, and glared at Xiang Li Zhongye fiercely. What the hell do you think I don't know?

But the problem is that I can tell you that the Liaoxia coalition army, the Xia State is not in charge at all, and it is already the privy envoy who is quite super trustworthy and almost asks for it with tears in his eyes.

Although Brother Wei Mingcha was very resentful, when he was in Youzhou, he even had the urge to go against the will of the commander of the coalition army and lead his soldiers to Yinzhou.

However, he really didn't dare to do this, and the consequences of doing so were likely to make His Royal Highness the Prince of Liao Kingdom turn his face after being furious.

At that time, the army of more than 200,000 Liao was in the hinterland of Western Xia, which provoked them, hehe...... Brother Wei Mingcha is still an egg pain in addition to egg pain......

"In the past, the matter of Yinzhou was decided by the lord of the country, and now the most important thing is to speed up the repair of Shizhou's city defense, in case the Song army takes Yinzhou, and then continue to invade the north, in addition, transfer 5,000 men and horses to Longzhou to assist Longzhou in guarding the ......"

Although the big man brought reinforcements, he only brought more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and it was impossible to attack, the only thing he could do was to defend, defend to the death, and hold the eastern territory of Western Xia after the Liaoxia coalition army failed to break through Youzhou.

At this moment, Su Dongpo was in Yinzhou City, looking at this state city that had become devastated in the attack and defense of both sides.

The evacuation of the Western Xia people saved the Great Song Dynasty a lot of worries, except for the 20,000 cavalry who continued to be stationed in the camp outside the city, most of the remaining 80,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in the city.

On the day of the capture of Yinzhou, Master Su had already ordered to mobilize materials from the cities in the rear to come and strive to repair the city defenses of Yinzhou as quickly as possible, so as to prevent a possible counterattack by the Liaoxia army.

And sent a good news to the Beijing Division, okay, this is the first good news since the start of the siege defense of Sanzhou......
