The next day, Richard was promoted to a general. The first one I asked was about last night.

Li Heda explained the matter before and after with a heavy face, and then continued without waiting for Brother Richard to ask: "The last general took the people and horses to check last night's life early this morning, and only saw some arrows scattered, and there was no corpse. ”

The corners of Richard's mouth curled up with a hint of playfulness. In the reconciliation, a general of the Western Xia army asked, "Tell me, why is this?" ”

"General, this ...... What's so strange? A party general asked blankly. The enemy came out of the city at night, and the puffy arrows shot past, and naturally some of them withered to the ground, and as for the corpses......

"That's right, corpses. Where did the corpse go? The man shouted violently.

"Hehe, if Ben is not mistaken, those are not real people, but scarecrows in black." Brother Richard said with a smile, "During the rebellion of Li Tang Anshi, Zhang Xun fought with the rebels of the Linghu Chao Department in Yongqiu, and the arrows in the city were exhausted, so he took advantage of the night to drop countless scarecrows from the city wall, so that the fox tide concluded that Zhang Xun sent troops to sneak attack, and ordered the soldiers to release arrows to it; Zhang Xun took back the scarecrow during the day and got hundreds of thousands of arrows, but now it is just a repetition of the old trick. ”

Another party leader stood up and said, "This war has not yet begun, why is there a shortage of arrows in the city?" "The Han people are the richest.

Li Heda just wanted to laugh when he heard this, the brains of the leaders of the party and clans were really not as flexible as the Khitan nobles.

Brother Richard also glanced at this guy heavily, he fought this time, and he gathered a full 100,000 tribal army under his command, and there were many big and small people inside, but this one in front of him was definitely the stupidest batch.

He didn't bother to speak, he only glanced at Li Heda, who got up and said, "General Xifeng, the general thought that this was a deliberate deception. He laid down the city with a dummy today, and our army will certainly not be fooled again in the coming day. After coming so many times, I think the soldiers who kept vigil would have seen it as normal. That's when he was given an opportunity. "And if you are always engrossed, and every time you are discounted, you can make a lot of money, and the number is not much, but it is especially bad for people. It's not easy to solve!

Looking at the thin seal oak with a sudden face, Brother Richard looked at Li Heda's eyes full of satisfaction, this is working with smart people, it really saves worry and effort.

"How insidious and cunning this bird is, the wrecked family, all of them deserve to die." The fine seal oak said angrily.

"The order goes down, and in an hour the city is to be attacked." Seeing that all the generals in the tent were angry, Brother Richard took the opportunity to say. He wants to thank the fold can be big, if it is not folded big, can An make the generals' fighting spirit so hot?

An hour later, the army holding the banner of Xia Zi densely pressed towards Yinchuan City, and the person in the lead was the fool who was finely sealed oak, bald hair, wearing heavy armor, and wielding a long knife, rushing to the front of the team. The surrounding area is surrounded by guards in heavy armor, commanding the army under their command while carefully guarding against the arrows and crossbows flying from the city.

To know. Although there is no bed crossbow at the head of this Yinchuan city, there are many people with arms and bows. The latter is hugely lethal and highly accurate, so it is necessary to guard against it. Against the strong bows and crossbows on the head of the city, the Western Xia army pushed straight to the bottom of Yinchuan City.

A long and thick wooden raft was erected, made of logs, covered with raw cowhide, and no matter how strong the bow and crossbow were on the city, it would be difficult to break if it was not a bed crossbow.

"Hurry up and fill in the trenches!" The fine seal oak screamed loudly.

Yinchuan City is on the bank of the Wuding River, how can there be no moat? And it is wide and deep.

If you want to take the city, you must first fill it in. Today's task is to fill in the trenches.

Bundles of dry wood were thrown into the moat, and bunches of hay were spread, and then wooden rafts were added, and by noon the moat had been made out of five passages.

This method was learned by the Tangut people from the Song army, it was simple and practical, and it was much simpler and more effective than throwing bags of sand and soil to fill the trenches.

But even so, six or seven hundred people were killed and wounded by the men of the fine seal oak. But people didn't care at all, and six or seven hundred people were not all dead, and what if they were all dead?

In the afternoon, the finely sealed oak is still a pioneer. "Rush up and kill them all. Those who go to the city first will be rewarded with a hundred dollars, and the women in the city will be left to their choice. ”

A surge of courage rose from the hearts of his soldiers. The attraction of money and women, which made these tribesmen forget about death, was like a stimulant, encouraging them to rush forward desperately. They raised their shields high above their heads and rushed down the ladder to the bottom of the city, behind them their comrades with bows and crossbows in cover.

A series of ladders were set up at the head of Yinchuan City. Later, there was the brave man who took the lead in climbing the long ladder. They bit the knife in their mouths, stared at a pair of vicious eyes, and rushed upward.

The defenders of the city naturally did not give it for nothing, the Liangshan army that captured Yinchuan did not know how many livestock they had captured, and the grease left after the slaughter of livestock was enough for them to easily burn the ladder under the city.

But this kind of big killing weapon will not be easily used. He called out to the defenders who had been recuperating for a long time, and lifted pieces of rolling wood and stones and smashed them down the long ladder. Or tell the mighty axe to cut off the barbed hook at the top of the ladder, and then push it away with a fork.

In an instant, I don't know how many party soldiers were smashed down the ladder by rolling logs and stones, and fell under the city, and they couldn't live.

I don't know how many people were stabbed to death and wounded by the defenders of the city with extended guns. Or one by one, the ash bottles fell, causing the blinded Xixia soldiers to flee in a panic, and then were nailed to the ground by the strong bows and crossbows on the city.

But this did not deter these Western Xia soldiers, how could this siege battle not be human? They fought with the Song army for decades, and the ultimate main body was offensive and defensive warfare, and the Western Xia people knew this best.

Whether it is an official or a soldier, no one cares about the dead or wounded.

The old ladders were broken, and the new ladders were re-built at the head of Yinchuan City. Those party and tribal soldiers crawled towards the head of the city like ants, and as long as they broke through the city, they could enter the Han realm. It is said that the group of Liangshan thieves gathered all the Han people north of Yan'an to Suide, what a wealth that is.

Thinking that his tribe can add thousands of Han slaves, hundreds or even more craftsmen, what else can those party leaders not sacrifice?

As for the party soldiers, they have never been able to penetrate into the Han realm since the late Zhezong Dynasty, and they have been quiet here for twenty years, so how rich they should be. When I thought of a large amount of wealth and hundreds of thousands of Han men and women waiting to be snatched by myself, and when I thought of the countless Han slaves and flower-like Han women, their adrenaline hormones were secreted faster, and the speed of climbing the ladder became faster and faster.
