Chapter 251: The main force of Western Xia

In the palace of Xingqing Mansion, Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun was sleeping soundly!

Li Qianshun was holding an unusually beautiful woman in his arms, she looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, her hair was black and long, her eyelashes were also unusually beautiful, and the eyes under the eyelashes were very smart! It's just that at this moment, although Li Qianshun is already asleep, she is not asleep! Her eyes were full of tears, and she cried softly!

She is none other than Ren Dejing's daughter Ren Yuqin! Now she is the imperial concubine of Western Xia, if history has not changed, she will become the queen of Western Xia until the queen mother! But now history has changed a lot, and her future is unknown!

She already knew the news that Hongzhou City had been conquered, and her father Ren Dejing was the prefect of Hongzhou, but she was afraid that it would be more auspicious now! Her heart is grieved, but the king wants to pull her to have fun, and she can only accompany the king! An hour ago, Li Qianshun had just fallen asleep, and now she was grieving her father!

"What happened to my father? Let's hope he's safe and sound! Ren Yuqin said secretly.

At this moment, the sound of a report suddenly came from outside the dormitory!

Ren Yuqin frowned slightly, and responded, and the next eunuch in his fifties walked into the dormitory!

Ren Yuqin didn't hide her beautiful **, in her heart, these eunuchs are neither male nor female, there is no need to hide in front of them at all!

"Your Majesty just fell asleep not long ago, what's the matter with you?" Ren Yuqin said.

"Concubine Niangniang, something is wrong! The Song army invaded, and now it has defeated the city of Xingqing Mansion! Therefore, the slave and maid risked their lives to see Your Majesty! Please also ask the mother to wake up Your Majesty! The eunuch fell to his knees and said.

"What do you say? The Song army has already defeated the city of Xingqing Mansion? Ren Yuqin said in disbelief.

"Yes! Now they have surrounded Xingqing Mansion! The eunuch said anxiously.

"How is that possible?" Ren Yuqin said dumbly.

"Niangniang, please wake up Your Majesty!" The eunuch said.

Ren Yuqin also knew that the stakes were very important at this moment, and she hurriedly went to push Xia Chongzong at the moment! However, Xia Chongzong was too tired and slept too soundly last night, and now he can't wake up at all! Ren Yuqin was in a hurry, and immediately dragged the brocade off, and after a while, Xia Chongzong was finally "frozen awake"!

"What happened?" Xia Chongzong felt dizzy, and he couldn't figure out the situation in the dormitory for a while, so he yawned at the moment.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong, the Song army has surrounded Xingqing Mansion!" The eunuch knelt down again and said.

"What did you say?" Xia Chongzong's face also had an expression of astonishment!

He had consumed too much strength on Ren Yuqin's body yesterday, and his mind was dizzy, but after hearing the news, he suddenly woke up!

"Your Majesty, countless Song troops are under the city of Xingqing Mansion!" The eunuch said.

"It can't be! Fast! Fetch my clothes, I'm going to go out and see! Xia Chongzong said loudly.

At that moment, the eunuch and Ren Yuqin hurriedly served Xia Chongzong and put on his clothes!

Xia Chongzong hurriedly walked towards the city wall of Xingqing Mansion with a group of eunuchs and guards!

The sky has gradually brightened, Xia Chongzong has come to the city wall, and the Wei King Li Renli, the prime minister Wei Ming An Hui and others have also received the news, and they have also hurried to the city wall at this moment! When they saw the scene below, everyone was stunned!

After a while, Xia Chongzong's face changed greatly, and his body trembled! He couldn't believe that the army of the Song Dynasty had come suddenly! The news they got before was that the army of the Song Dynasty was in the area of Hongzhou and Yanzhou, why did it suddenly appear here now?

"Your Majesty?" Seeing Xia Chongzong's pale face, Li Renli, the king of the guards next to him, hurriedly supported Xia Chongzong's body.

"How many Han Chinese are down there?" Xia Chongzong said.

"At least 100,000!" Li Renli said.

Hearing this number, Xia Chongzong's face turned even paler! He even felt the darkness in front of him, and he was terrified! He was the "Ming Emperor" in the history of Western Xia, but the reason why he received this title was mainly because of his political cleverness! When the Jurchens were rising, he decisively took refuge in the Jurchens and obtained a large amount of land from the Liao State! In addition, he promoted sinicization, which made the culture and economy of Western Xia reach its peak! But in military affairs, he had no experience at all! In the face of more than 100,000 troops, he couldn't be calm at all!

Not only him, countless people on the city wall are trembling at this moment!

Originally, there were 300,000 troops in Xingqing Mansion, and Brother Richard took away 250,000 people, and there are 50,000 people here! However, in order to deal with the Song army in the east, Brother Richard took away the elite of the army, and the 50,000 people left at this moment are all old and weak among them! No one knows if they can hold Xingqing Mansion!

"Your Majesty, we should immediately send someone to inform General Chago and ask him to bring troops back to help!" Prime Minister Wei Ming Anhui was quite calm, and immediately said.

"Not bad!" Wei Wang Li Renli also nodded.

"Send someone down the wall at once! Catch up with Brother Cha as fast as you can, and make sure he comes back as soon as possible! Xia Chongzong took a deep breath and said.

"Your Majesty, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in Xingqing Mansion, and the people should be mobilized immediately! Especially men, all of them have to come out and participate in the defense of the city! There are still countless weapons in the warehouse, as well as countless weapons to defend the city, these must be taken out and handed over to the people defending the city! Also, Your Majesty, you should take the gold and silver from the treasury and distribute them to the soldiers, so as to boost their morale! In this way, we will definitely be able to hold Xingqing Mansion! Wei Ming Anhui said again.

"Yes! Everything is done according to what Aiqing said! Xia Chongzong said.

He knew that the prime minister's name was extremely talented! Over the years, the national strength of Western Xia has become stronger and stronger, and one of the main reasons is the existence of the famous Anhui! In the past, he obeyed the words of the famous Anhui, but today he was restless, and he had no idea in his heart, so he naturally did everything according to what the famous Anhui!

At that moment, Xia Chongzong ordered down, and countless people went to carry out his orders! Wei Ming Anhui looked at the dense Song Jun below, and frowned! He didn't know why it had turned out the way it did! Just more than ten days ago, Brother Richard had just led a large army to the east, and now the army of the Song Dynasty had actually appeared under the capital of Western Xia!

"May God bless Western Xia!" At this moment, many people in Xingqing Mansion have such thoughts!

******

And at this moment, Brother Richard had just led 250,000 Western Xia main forces to Baichi City!

He waited here for another two days, and then the garrisons from Shunzhou, Jingzhou, Lingzhou, and Huaizhou also came here one after another!

Now that Richard Ge's troops have reached 320,000 people, he led the army to continue towards Yanzhou City!

Along the way, Richard kept encountering the defeated generals from Yanzhou, Hongzhou, and Youzhou, and Richard kept asking these defeated generals, and he kept pondering and analyzing! In the end, he came to a conclusion that the Han people who invaded Western Xia were about 150,000! After coming to this conclusion, he immediately put his mind at ease! The main force of Western Xia led by him was more than twice that of the Song army, which was enough to wipe out all the Song army! Originally, he planned to take it step by step, but in his opinion, the Song army would definitely retreat, and that was the time to pursue and kill the Song army! But now that he has come to this conclusion, he has decided to fight the Song army head-on and destroy all the Song army!

After Yan Zonggan knew that the Song army only had more than 100,000 people, he was also relieved! To be honest, Wanyan Zonggan was also a little worried about the damage to Western Xia's strength! At that time, the plan to attack Guan Shaanxi on three sides will be a complete failure! The Jurchen and Kang armies are all in the east, and they want to break through the abnormal difficulties from the east!

By the tenth day of the first month of March, the main force of Western Xia came to the vicinity of Yanzhou City!

Here, Brother Richard carefully observed some of the traces left by the Song army, and his judgment that the Song army was only 150,000 people was even more certain!

At present, the 320,000 Western Xia army surrounded Yanzhou City!

It's just that Richard didn't attack immediately, he first ordered the soldiers to rest!

It was only on March 11 that he launched his first attack!

When he arrived this time, in addition to leading more than 300,000 Xixia main forces, there were countless grains and grasses, as well as countless siege equipment!

From the beginning of the morning when the sun had just risen, it was not until the afternoon when the sun set that he withdrew his army!

Night was gradually falling, and Brother Richard and Wanyan Zonggan were staying in the barracks!

Brother Richard's face was very unsightly, and Wanyan Zonggan was a little strange, and said, "General Li, what's wrong?" Are you not in a good mood? ”

Brother Richard hesitated for a moment and said, "The Song army that invaded this time is extremely strong!" ”

Wanyan Sect said: "Extremely strong? Where do you see it? ”

Wanyan Zonggan only fought with Wanyan Aguda when the Jurchens had just started their troops, and since then he has been dealing with logistics and politics, and his battlefield vision is not as good as Brother Richard!

Brother Richard was silent for a long time, and said, "I see the shadow of your Jurchen army from them!" ”
