A thunderous crackling sound spread across the walls of Mingsha City, and the Western Xia defenders on the city walls wailed in blood.

Relying on the guards around him desperately blocking in front of him, as well as the heavy armor he was wearing, Li Renzhong's henchman cut Shawu to pick up a piece of sex, crawled out of the pile of dead bodies, and then hurriedly went to find the second prince Li Renzhong.

At this moment, Li Renzhong also lost his life to the guards around him, and then he was pulled up by the surviving guards around him.

"Second Highness, are you alright?" After the smoke cleared, he saw that Li Renzhong was unharmed, and he asked with a sigh of relief.

After a few sips, Li Renzhong spit out the dust in his mouth, and looked at the corpses on the city wall, Li Renzhong said in disbelief: "Uncle Cha Ge Wang once said that the Great Song Dynasty firearms are powerful, but I didn't believe it at first!" ”

Cutting Shawu looked at the Song army outside the city, and wondered: "How powerful the firearms of the Song people are, we have also seen it, why is this time different from the past?" ”

At this moment, Li Renzhong did not inquire about the casualties of his soldiers, but sighed in his mouth: "Such a sharp weapon should be used by my Great Xia, and it is not impossible for the Great Song Dynasty of Nanping to destroy the Great Liao and unify the rivers and mountains of China!" ”

……

"Good ......"

After several rounds of volleys, seeing that Mingsha City was shrouded in screams and gunsmoke, Chang Kun laughed, looked at Mao Jiu next to him and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I've fought so happily, no wonder Lord Zhongshu didn't let us go back to Huangzhou Liu Shuai, it turned out that there was such a happy battle to fight." ”

"The old man of the Chinese book won't let you go back to Huangzhou, my old Mao can remember that you have been unhappy for a few days!" Cat Nine next to him teased.

The Shenji Battalion on Jingyuan Road was formed by the Seed Master Dao according to Lotte's proposal, and the same hall was a minister, and the relationship between the Seed Master Dao and Liu Fa was also good, but Wen Wu was the first and the second Wu, and Liu Fa's merits were always higher than that of the Seed Master Dao, so the Seed Master Dao was secretly holding back to compete with Liu Fa, and wanted to suppress Liu Fa in terms of military exploits.

After several rounds of volleys, the Seed Master Dao could clearly see the heavy casualties on the walls of Mingsha City, and immediately ordered: "Listen to the orders of this marshal and fill the moat of Mingsha City!" ”

At the sound of an order, more than 1,000 Song troops ran towards the moat of Mingsha City with bags of mud and sand, wanting to fill in the moat of Mingsha City.

……

"Second Highness, the Song army is going to fill the moat!" Seeing Song Jun's actions, the Western Xia Military Academy hurriedly reported to Li Renzhong.

The last time the Song army captured Mingsha City, the envoy used such a move, so after the Song army withdrew last time, the Western Xia people raised the walls of Mingsha City, and dug the moat wide and deep, how could they repeat the scene last time.

Li Renzhong pulled out the long knife at his waist and ordered: "Aim at these Song troops who are filling the river, and shoot me hard with heavy bows and crossbows!" ”

The Western Xia soldiers who did not die got up from the ground, and many soldiers rushed up from the city to replenish the casualties, and the head of Mingsha City was once again in a state of full formation, and then a hard bow began to be aimed at the Song soldiers who were carrying sandbags to fill the river.

To deal with these Song soldiers who filled the river, Li Renzhong originally wanted to use the divine arm bow and trebuchet in the city, but unfortunately, under the attack of the Song army in the first few rounds of firearms, these divine arm bows and catapults were damaged to varying degrees, so he had to use the archers.

Song Xia fought for more than a hundred years, and the two sides had already formed a feud, and at this moment, seeing that Tong Ze around him had died a lot, these Western Xia crossbowmen angrily began to avenge Tong Ze.

The arrows rained down, and many of the Song soldiers who were filling the river were hit by arrows, and the rest of the soldiers began to retreat one after another.

Carrying sandbags on his back, and not holding a shield in his hand, by a moat without any cover, this is no different from a live target.

"Order the Shenji Battalion to fire another salvo and him! Although he was born as a literati, he was naturally contaminated with military habits in the barracks, and when he saw that his soldiers had casualties, he immediately scolded with hatred.

"Order!" Lotte rode a horse and followed the side of the Planter Road, and then answered, and ordered the herald to the small colonel: "The herald Shenji Battalion must not only blow up the city wall, but also concentrate the firepower of the Shenjian Bow to blow up the gate of Mingsha City!" ”

Seeing that the Song army's river-filling soldiers were repulsed, Li Renzhong's originally gloomy face relaxed a little, but he was still in the climate where he had not let go, only to see the Song army's divine arm bow and catapult roaring again.

"Your Highness, get out of the way!" Seeing that the Song army's firearms were attacking again, he hurriedly ran towards Li Renzhong and pressed his body against Li Renzhong's body.

The roar sounded again in the sky above Mingsha City, accompanied by the screams and flesh and blood of the Xixia soldiers who sounded again......

"Your Highness, you're all right!"

After several volleys from the Song army, the surviving guards pulled Li Renzhong up from under the body of the sand wu. And he was no longer able to stand up.

The armor on the body of the cutting Shawu was torn open by the explosive gunpowder, and the blood gushed out, and it was impossible to stop.

Li Renzhong hurriedly leaned over and asked, "Cut Shawu, how are you?" ”

"Your Highness, let's go, I'm afraid Mingsha City won't be able to keep it!" Cutting Shawu said intermittently with a breath that was only hanging: "The last general...... Is it that you can no longer follow...... Your Highness is by your side......"

At this time, an officer guarding Li Renzhong's safety hurriedly ran over to report: "Your Highness, let's go from the north gate, our army has not only suffered heavy casualties, but the south gate was also blown up by the Song army just now......

Obviously, Li Renzhong refused to face defeat, and roared in his mouth: "There are more than 9,000 of my Great Xia warriors in the Sand Cutting City, how can they not hold it?" ”

The school officer hurriedly said: "Second Highness, there are heavy casualties on the city, and many soldiers have already thrown down their weapons and ran away in fear, and some people say that Mu Longdu, the guard of the north gate, has already run first......"

The city gate is broken, and the Song army still has such powerful firearms, as long as the moat is filled, Mingsha City will definitely not be able to defend it. Anyone with a little military knowledge knows that the overall situation of Mingsha City has been decided, although it only happened in half an hour, but this has become an ironclad fact.

"Swear to live and die with Mingsha!"

I don't know if Li Renzhong is a man, or if he is brave and unscrupulous, he didn't care about the current situation at all, and opened his mouth to howl loudly.

"Second Highness, the last general has been offended!" The school official was really a responsible person, his eyes fell on the guards who were following Li Renzhong, and he ordered: "Quickly take His Royal Highness Li Er out of Mingsha City!" ”

"Bo Wuhuo, you dare to ......," Li Renzhong roared angrily.

Seeing that the guards didn't dare to make a move, the school official who called Bo Wuhuo scolded angrily: "What are you doing in a daze, do you want to be cut by Your Majesty with a thousand knives, let me tell you that if Your Royal Highness makes any mistakes, it will be useless for your family to lose their lives!" ”

Not only their own lives are important, but also the lives of their families, and these guards don't want to throw their lives in Mingsha City, so they can't care about anything anymore and rush to grab Li Renzhong, and then go down the city tower and flee in the direction of the north gate.

The firepower of the Song army was too ferocious, and when they saw that the Second Highness had fled, and the soldiers guarding Mingsha City were also defeated, they retreated to the north gate with a hula.

Without the bows and arrows shot by the Xixia soldiers on the city wall, the Song soldiers didn't even have to fill in the moat outside Mingsha City, so they found some boards and tied them into a raft to cross the moat, and directly put down the drawbridge, and then a large number of Song troops rushed into Mingsha City from outside the city.

At the north gate of Mingsha City, more than 10,000 Western Xia soldiers and officials crowded there and fled to the north. Mingsha City was not big, and as soon as the cavalry of the Song army rushed into the city, they arrived at the north gate after a while, and immediately fought with the Western Xia soldiers who did not have time to escape from the city gate.

The defeat was like a mountain, and the previous Song army firearms had made the Western Xia soldiers frightened, and this time it was even more crushed, and many Western Xia soldiers and officials directly threw their weapons and squatted on the ground to surrender.

The city gate is not only the defensive barrier of a city, but also the psychological defense barrier of an army, the city gate is broken is equivalent to declaring defeat, the military heart is shaken, and even His Royal Highness the Second Prince has fled, and these Xixia soldiers have no idea of being trapped and fighting.

Less than an hour and a half before and after, Mingsha City fell into the hands of the Song army, not only the Seed Master Dao was surprised, but also the entire Jingyuan Road soldiers were also surprised, this time the soldiers who followed the Seed Master Dao to go out, many of them participated in the last expedition, many soldiers clearly remembered that the last time Mingsha was laid down it took seven or eight days, and now it only took an hour and a half, which is what no one expected.

The noble status of the master and the lotte is not the slightest omission, and he did not choose to enter the city that day but set up camp outside the city, and it was not until the second day that the Song army in the city cleared the remnants of the enemy in the city and did not enter the city after there was no danger.

"You must know that Mingsha City is so easy to fight, grandpa should set up an ambush in the north of the city and capture the second prince of the Xia people alive!"

In the Shuai Mansion, Chongyan, the grandson of the Seed Master Dao, sighed.

Tane Shidao and Lotte glanced at each other, smiled and said nothing.

The seed master Dao shook his head, and then said: "Whether Mingsha City can be held tightly in our hands, but it depends on how well the fight is done on Huanqing Road, if we can attack the Jingsai Military Division set up by the Xia people in Weizhou, Mingsha City will be tightly held in the hands of my Great Song, otherwise how to eat it in our mouths like last time, and then how to spit it out!" ”

If the Jingsai military division defeats the Song army on Huanqing Road, the Xia army of the Jingsai military division will most encircle the Lingzhou Xia army in the south and north of the planting division, which is not only what the cultivation master does not want to see, but also Tong Guan and the Great Song Dynasty do not want to see.

Of course, there is a compromise situation, that is, the Song army of Huanqing Road and the Xia army of the Jingsai Military Division can not help anyone, the two sides are in a state of tie confrontation, but this is by no means good news for the master of the road, the summer is just that, now it is late autumn, the winter is coming, if the Song army of Jingyuan Road can not win, then the soldiers and horses of the division will still be in the predicament of being attacked by the soldiers and horses of the Western Xia.

Therefore, after capturing Mingsha City, the first thing the Seed Master Dao did was to order the scouts to investigate the battle situation of the Song army on Huanqing Road.
