Sure enough, when the first row of 500 fire guns was fired, the Iron Harrier cavalry one hundred and fifty paces away suddenly turned on their backs, and the lead bullet penetrated the solid armor and shot into the bodies of the cavalry and the horses.

After a row of firearms was fired, hundreds of Iron Harrier cavalry in the first few rows were shot over by more than 130 people, and more than 50 people were shot, but they still hung on their horses and continued to run wildly.

When the first row fired, immediately crouched down to charge and load, at this time the second row of five hundred soldiers had already lit the fire rope, aimed at the heavy cavalry to fire together, a long row of guns rang out, and nearly two hundred iron harrier cavalry were shot, the second row immediately squatted, the third row began to shoot, and then the first row had finished charging, and began a new round of shooting.

All this happened about five hundred steps away from the city wall, and in the bright moonlight, the defenders at the head of the city could see it very clearly, and all the Western Xia soldiers, including the Son of Heaven Li Qianshun and the commander Li Chage, were dumbfounded.

In their hearts, the god-like Iron Harrier cavalry was beaten to the ground by the Song army with a mysterious weapon, just one round of shooting, the Iron Harrier cavalry suffered more than 500 casualties, according to this speed, the Song army had to shoot at least three rounds, the casualties of the Iron Harrier cavalry were more than half, and once the heavy cavalry was tripped, they couldn't get up at all, if no one helped, the cavalry only waited to be captured or killed.

Li Qianshun was shocked and asked incredulously, "Is this ...... What kind of weapon is this? ”

With Brother Richard's knowledge, he still didn't think that this was witchcraft, he stared for a moment, sighed and said: "This should be a new type of firearm of the Song army, in Xiazhou, we suffered heavy casualties in this kind of firearm, everyone still thought that there were wizards in the Song army who were performing witchcraft, which seriously affected the morale of the army. ”

Li Qianshun immediately said urgently: "Then quickly call the cavalry back!" ”

Brother Richard shook his head, "The ordinary cavalry may be able to come back, but the heavy cavalry has advanced and retreated, and they can't come back!" “

Li Qianshun seemed to have stepped on the air and fell into the endless abyss, a strong regret poured into his heart, and the tremendous pressure of the past few days finally crushed him at this moment.

Li Qianshun's body shook a few times, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the guards were shocked, and hurriedly supported him and shouted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”

Brother Richard was also taken aback, the Son of Heaven fainted, which would have a huge adverse effect on the morale of the army, and he urgently ordered the guards: "Help the Son of Heaven back to the palace immediately, and leave quickly!" ”

The guards carried Li Qianshun down the city in a hurry, and rushed towards the palace, at this time, the news that the Son of Heaven fainted in the city had spread throughout the southern city, and everyone felt pessimistic about the future of Western Xia.

Under the city, the fire gun army fired three rounds, fired 4,500 bullets, and beat the 3,000 iron harrier cavalry to the ground, more than half of the direct casualties due to the bullet, and the cavalry that stumbled amounted to more than 400 people, when rushing through 50 steps, the iron harrier heavy armored cavalry was only more than 1,000 people left, and the ordinary cavalry behind them was also ambushed by the Song army's god arm crossbow army three times, and the casualties were extremely heavy.

At this time, the Iron Harrier cavalry was no longer facing the soldiers of the Fire Gun Army, but the three thousand heavy infantry with swords in their hands, and the 1,500 Fire Gun soldiers were quickly retreated by the cavalry guards like heroes, and they were already two miles away, they had finished their soldiers, and the rest of the battle had nothing to do with them.

Li Yanqing has issued an encirclement order, 40,000 Song troops have surrounded the remaining ordinary cavalry and 1,000 Iron Harrier cavalry regiments, 3,000 heavy armored infantry changed their tactics, the formation changed to a semicircle, they did not take the initiative to attack, but maintained a defensive state, and constantly compressed the space of the Iron Harrier cavalry, so that the 1,000 Iron Harrier cavalry completely lost the advantage of running at high speed, like a raptor trapped in a quagmire, which created an opportunity for the peripheral crossbow army.

Within thirty steps, the powerful Divine Arm Crossbow can shoot through everything, including the armor of the heavy armored cavalry and the heavy armored infantry, but when the cavalry reaches thirty paces, the Divine Arm Crossbow Army has no chance to shoot, but the heavy armored infantry is like a thick wall at this time, making the Iron Harrier cavalry unable to run in a narrow space, creating an opportunity for the Divine Arm Crossbow soldiers to shoot within thirty steps.

The crossbow soldiers are the nightmare of the Iron Harrier cavalry, they hide behind the heavy infantry and shoot at the Iron Harrier cavalry close at hand, shoot the horse without shooting people, the arrow is very accurate, the armor of the war horse is shot through, so that the war horse neighs and falls, and at the same time the cavalry on the body falls.

When the peripheral cavalry fell, the heavy infantry continued to shrink, keep falling, constantly shrinking, just half an hour, a thousand iron harrier cavalry left less than two hundred, and the ordinary cavalry were all killed, with the two rounds of god arm crossbow arrows fired, the iron harrier cavalry disappeared, the world-famous Western Xia iron harrier cavalry finally wiped out on the eve of the destruction of the Western Xia, disappeared in the long river of history.

Li Yanqing received Wang Gui's report, and he immediately ordered, "The army will resume its formation!" “

'Boom! Boom! Boom! The earth-shattering drums of war sounded, and the army of 80,000 began to assemble rapidly, forming an overwhelming black sea once again.

When the drums of war stopped, the seven super giants began to creak apart, and Brother Richard suddenly realized something, his face suddenly turned pale, the Song army did not have siege weapons such as siege ladders at all, so how they would attack the city was self-evident.

Richard understood that all his hard work in preparing for the war in the past few days had been in vain, and a tragic street battle was about to break out.

He suddenly stomped his foot and yelled, "Follow me!" ”

More than a thousand henchmen and soldiers followed him and ran down the city, and the soldiers at the head of the city looked at each other, not knowing what was going on?

At this moment, the tall trebuchet was launched at the same time, and seven huge black earth-shaking thunderbolts soared into the air, and the fire ropes sneered and burned in mid-air, and the earth-shaking thunders tumbled and smashed towards the city five hundred paces away.

The soldiers at the head of the city shouted, squatted down one after another, seven earth-shattering thunderbolts exploded one after another inside and outside the city wall, the explosion sound was more deafening than the other, one was more earth-shattering than the other, the whole city head was filled with thick smoke, rubble flew wildly, the middle section of the city wall collapsed more than 20 zhang, hundreds of soldiers rolled down the city, and were buried by a large amount of sand poured out of the city wall.

But the real formation of huge destructive power is the south city gate, two earth-shattering thunder accurately hit the city tower, fell on the city head and exploded, Yang Zhaofang was not wrong at all, with two earth-shattering explosions, the hollow city wall collapsed inward at the same time, the entire city tower and the city gate collapsed, and when the black smoke dissipated, the south city tower and the city wall have disappeared, leaving only a large pile of messy stone piles and broken wood.

A section of the city wall that was more than two hundred steps long disappeared, but the Song army did not rush to attack, they continued to project earth-shaking thunder, five rounds of earth-shaking thunder in a row, the entire southern city became full of holes, the collapsed city wall as many as thirteen, and more than 5,000 soldiers were killed and wounded.

And the worst thing is at the south city gate, the pile of rocks was completely blown to pieces, and the situation in Xingqing City completely appeared in front of the Song army.

Li Yanqing finally gave the order to attack, the war drums rumbled, 80,000 soldiers ran bravely, and killed in the city of Xingqing, the soldiers laid wooden planks one after another, and dozens of bridges were formed in an instant, turning the trench into a thoroughfare, and the overwhelming soldiers went to kill in the city.

...........

Street fighting in the city continued until the early hours of the morning, and more than 25,000 Tuoba troops who resisted stubbornly were all annihilated, and the great chief Tuoba Heta and his son Tuoba Wei were all killed in the chaos.

The battles of the whole city are over one after another, but the last battle is the Xixia Palace, the Xixia Palace covers an area of 500 acres, it is a castle-like building, there are city walls around it, the city wall is tall and wide, the trench is wide and deep, it is built with green bricks, it is extremely strong, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Richard brother led 3,000 soldiers to stick to the last glory of this Western Xia.

Surrounded by more than 1,000 cavalry, Li Yanqing slowly came to the palace, and Wang Gui stepped forward and saluted: "Qiyu Dutong, the brothers have attacked for nearly three hours, with more than 1,000 casualties, but they still haven't been able to capture the palace. ”

"Isn't it useless to shake the sky?"

Wang Gui shook his head, "The city wall is too strong, even using three earth-shattering thunderbolts has no effect!" ”

Li Yanqing stared at the palace for a moment, then turned around and asked Yang Zhaofang, "How many buildings are there in the palace?" ”

Yang Zhaofang hurriedly said: "Qi Yu is the capital, and there are more than one hundred and twenty buildings in the palace. ”

"It's all wood?"

"Basically, but there are also underground palaces with wells and a lot of grain stored."

Li Yanqing nodded, and said to Wang Gui: "Limit them to come out and surrender within an hour, otherwise, I will attack with fire, burn the palace to the ground, and let Western Xia be completely wiped out!" ”
