When the earth-shaking thunder exploded, Yinchuan City Lord General Li Liangfu stood on the slope of the two earth-shaking thunderbolts, and the huge shock wave directly shook Li Liangfu to death on the spot, and his body was immediately buried by the collapsed city wall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lost the command of the main general, coupled with the huge panic of the collapse of the city, 20,000 defenders abandoned the city and fled, 6,000 cavalry pursued overnight, in the wilderness to chase and kill the desperately fleeing Western Xia soldiers, at dawn, 6,000 cavalry chased out nearly 200 li, killed more than 8,000 enemy soldiers, captured 5,400 people, achieved the glorious victory of Yinchuan City, plus killed more than 3,000 enemies during the battle for the dam, and achieved the first record of killing tens of thousands of enemies in decades.

Li Yanqing is the third batch to enter Yinchuan City, Yinchuan City is like a medium-sized county town, the south gate is directly opposite a central axis avenue, the county is divided into two, the east half and the west half.

Li Yanqing rode into the city on horseback, they walked slowly along the central axis, there are various buildings on both sides, but there are no houses, all of them are army buildings, and there are only a few kinds of buildings in the city, at most they are barracks built with wood and mud, this kind of barracks is about fifty rooms in a row, which can barely resist the burning of the fire, but it can't stop the heavy blow of the boulder, and it will collapse in two blows, the army barracks occupy the eastern half of the county, densely packed and can't see the end at a glance, Li Yanqing estimates that it can accommodate at least 50,000 people.

The western half of the county seat is a variety of functional buildings, tall and luxurious commander's official residence, majestic military office, tall and spacious warehouses, as well as soldiers' entertainment areas, that is, prostitute areas, and large open spaces near the north city, which is the place where soldiers barbecue beef and mutton.

When Li Yanqing and the soldiers of the intelligence battalion entered the city, the Western Xia soldiers had almost fled, the cavalry and 10,000 infantry followed the pursuit, and the city was full of groups of Song soldiers who were searching the barracks, they were row after row, one after another, one after another, constantly pulling out the Western Xia soldiers hiding in the room, the rebels were killed on the spot, and those who surrendered were taken to centralized detention.

In the middle of the central axis of the avenue, the soldiers searched out of all kinds of piled up into a hill, these are the personal belongings of the Western Xia soldiers, they did not have time to carry when they escaped, left in the city, many Western Xia soldiers also carried female slaves, also searched out by the Song soldiers, they lowered their heads, crying and crying were taken out of the city by the soldiers, there were more than 2,000 female slaves, most of them were Han women, and I don't know whether they cried for freedom, or cried because they were afraid.

Hundreds of soldiers with knives guarded the items they found, most of them were various utensils, and there were also a lot of money bags, Li Yanqing suddenly found that there was a scroll among them, which looked quite like a map, he instinctively picked it up sideways, opened the scroll, and sure enough, it was a complete map of Western Xia, more detailed and complete than his map of Western Xia, and the various tribes of Western Xia were marked, and it was actually in Chinese, not Western Xia, which was very commendable.

"Who's on duty here?" Li Yanqing asked loudly.

A capital head ran forward quickly, hugged his fists and said, "What's the matter with Li joining the army?" ”

"There's a military map here, I took it, do you want to register it?"

"The map doesn't need to be registered, it doesn't hurt if Li joins the army and takes it!"

"Thank you!"

Li Yanqing rolled up the map and inserted it into the horse bag, and continued to urge the horse forward.

At this time, a group of women were escorted, there were as many as four or five hundred, each of them exuded a strong smell of cheap fat powder, they should be prostitutes in the military camp, there were Han women, there were also women, and the difference between the captured female slaves was that they seemed very excited, supporting each other, many women were obviously crying bitterly, and their faces were covered with tears.

"Lao Li, they are all poor women!"

Wang Gui sighed and said, "When they were taken captive, they didn't know how their parents lived and died. ”

Li Yanqing nodded silently, his mood was very heavy at the same time, he was lucky to be rescued by Song Jun, those women who died in a foreign land were pitiful, he didn't want to do this, the horse whip pointed to the warehouse group not far away and said, "Let's go to the warehouse to have a look." ”

Everyone sped up their horses and followed Li Yanqing towards the warehouse group.

The warehouse group consists of more than 100 warehouses, which have been taken over by the Song army, and a team of soldiers stands in front of the gate of each warehouse.

"Zhang joins the army!" Li Yanqing beckoned, turned over and dismounted.

Zhang Qu also saw Li Yanqing, and immediately greeted him with a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Master Li, it's been a long time!" ”

Although both of them served as the chief of the army, their status was completely different, Li Yanqing was already a civilian official from the seventh grade, while Zhang Qu was still a civil servant, not even from the ninth grade.

"I thought you didn't come over in logistics, but I didn't expect you to be so fast!"

"It was General Zong who moved quickly, we followed the second batch of troops into the city, and the logistics army directly took over the warehouse."

Li Yanqing looked at the bunker-like warehouse and asked with a smile: "What kind of warehouse is this, and how is the shape different?" ”

"This is an underground ice warehouse, all kinds of meat should be placed, Dashuai and General Zong have just entered, do you want to go and see it?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "Then go and have a look!" ”

He didn't want to see some meat freezer, but he had something to do.

Li Yanqing turned over and dismounted, handed the reins of the horse to Wang Gui, and instructed him: "You take the brothers here to wait for me for a while, and I will go to Dashuai to say a few words." ”

Li Yanqing followed Zhang Qu into the freezer, the bunker is not big, mainly to give the freezer a cover, to prevent the exchange of internal and external airflow, affecting the cold air in the freezer.

"How's the harvest going from the other warehouses in the city?" Li Yanqing asked with a smile.

"The harvest is indeed very large, there are 300,000 stones of grain alone, 12,000 barrels of oil, 200,000 taels of silver, this is the item I have accurately recorded, in addition, swords and spears, bows and crossbows, armor and shields, and what war drums and banners are simply countless, the Western Xia army is based on 20,000 people to defend the materials for a year to reserve, you can imagine how many."

"It looks like General Zong is going to make a fortune this time!" Li Yanqing laughed.

"Of course, when we walked into the grain warehouse, General Zong couldn't close his mouth with a smile."

The two of them said while walking into the underground ice storage, the outermost part is full of sacks, mainly used to absorb heat, there is a narrow path in the middle of the sack that only allows a single person to pass, out of the path, a strong cold air hit the face, Li Yanqing cold and heat do not invade, but there is no feeling, Zhang Qu is shivering from the cold, his face suddenly turned purple, and a soldier hurriedly found him a thick sheepskin jacket to wear.

"This.... Here's this.... No.... It's been a long time! Zhang Qu said as he bent his teeth and fight.

"I'm not here to take stock of the material, I'm here to find a kind of handsome, otherwise Master Zhang will go up in advance!"

"Oh well! I'll go up first. ”

It was useless to wear a sheepskin jacket, Zhang Qu was so cold that he couldn't bear it, so he panicked.

Li Yanqing continued to walk inside, a large number of ice cubes were piled up on both sides, the weight of a single piece of ice was extremely heavy, ranging from hundreds of catties to thousands of catties, and in the middle of the ice cubes was neatly stacked beef and mutton, frozen like stones.

"Ho! There are even wine bags here. ”

Li Yanqing suddenly heard the voice of the Seed Master Dao, not far ahead, he walked forward quickly, turned around, and happened to see the Seed Master Dao and his party, more than a dozen personal soldiers surrounded him and the veteran Zong Ze.

When the seed master saw Li Yanqing, he smiled and said, "Could it be that Li joined the army and was also attracted by wine and meat?" ”

Li Yanqing hurriedly bowed down and said, "The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates have something to find the marshal." ”

"Don't be so serious! Take a look at this wine bag, would you like to try it? ”

The seed master picked up a bag of sheep wine, shook it, and said, "Wow!" Wow! "This bag is at least thirty pounds, let's drink a few sips each!" ”

Li Yanqing felt that he had heard it wrong, and he actually wanted to drink, so he couldn't help but whisper: "Marshal, it is forbidden to drink alcohol in the army!" ”

Zong Ze next to him said with a smile: "Although it is forbidden to drink, there are several special circumstances that can be exceptional, one is a reward for the Son of Heaven, one is a great victory for the army, and one is a special ban issued by the marshal, these three situations can be drunk, and today belongs to the second situation." ”

"See, General Zong came later than you, but the rules are clearer than you know, so punish Li Senjun for three sips first."

Seed Master Dao handed the wine bag to Li Yanqing and ordered, "Give me a drink!" ”

Li Yanqing had to raise his head and drink three sips in a row, and a sheep's smell came to his nose, it was goat's milk wine, but after drinking, he tasted a little sweet, and the spicy wine was in his stomach, which made people feel angry.

"Good wine, happy!"

Li Yanqing approved, handed the wine bag to the planter, and the planter Dao and Zong Ze also drank a few sips each, and then the wine bag was handed to the soldiers, and the planter said with a smile: "Tonight, I want to reward the three armies, so that everyone can have a good time eating wine and meat!" ”

"Commander, subordinate ....."

"I know, you have something to report, you can say it!"

"I want to hide two gunpowder craftsmen."

Li Yanqing said his plan again, the seed master understood what Li Yanqing meant, this time the power of gunpowder he saw with his own eyes, it is really a sharp weapon for attacking the city, it stands to reason, the ordnance supervisor will definitely make a large number of this kind of earth-shaking thunder, but in fact, as long as the Song army has any new weapons, the Liao army will soon have it, if the imperial court does not have a traitor in Liao, then it is a hell.

Unless the Liao army is not strong enough to make armor with a large amount of pig iron like the Song army, as long as they can make it, it will definitely catch up with the Song army soon, once the gunpowder formula and manufacturing method of this earth-shaking thunder enter the imperial court, the Liao army will soon master it, the thunderbolt cannon is a typical example, only half a year later than the Song army, the Liao army also made a large number of thunderbolt cannons, and the Western Xia army will also get it from the Liao army, so that they will suffer heavy losses.

But the formula is in the hands of Li Yanqing, not in the hands of two craftsmen, this is the key, the seed master Dao did not reject Li Yanqing's suggestion, but he still had a little concern in his heart, and after a moment of silence, the seed master said again: "I'm afraid that Taiwei Tong will also have this kind of earth-shaking thunder!" ”

"I asked two craftsmen to prepare five hundred catties of gunpowder, which can make twenty-five earth-shaking thunders, if Mrs. Tong wants them, give him a few, and then tell him that this kind of earth-shaking thunder is not stable, and the two craftsmen who invented it were unfortunately killed together."

Although this reason was a bit absurd, the seed master still nodded, "Okay! Just follow your plan and hide them. ”

Zong Ze reminded on the side: "But this matter can't be hidden from the official family, otherwise we won't be able to bear the crime of bullying the king." ”

This sentence went up to the heart of the master, this matter really cannot be hidden from the Son of Heaven, if the Son of Heaven asks, he must report it truthfully.
