Zhang Heng drove the boat into the moat and searched for more than 100 zhang to find Zhang Shun floating on the river, but Zhang Shun was unconscious. Fortunately, after Zhang Shun lit the explosive barrel, he was afraid of being injured by gravel and dived to the bottom of the water. Although he floated up after falling unconscious, the gravel fell much faster than he ascended, so he was not hit by the rubble.

Zhang Heng rescued his brother, saw that he couldn't wake up, and hurriedly hugged Zhang Shun and ran to the palace.

Chao Yong was directing his soldiers to search the palace in the palace hall, and when he saw Zhang Shun unconscious and being carried, he hurriedly said to Shi Yong, who was guarding on the side: "Go and call the military doctor and put Brother Zhang Shun here." ”

Chao Yong casually ripped off the white tiger skin from the throne and spread it on the ground.

The Western Xia people are still white, and they are fierce by nature, and after Li Yuanhao got a white tiger skin, he has been on the throne.

Zhang Heng was worried about his brother, and he was not polite, so he put Zhang Shun on the tiger skin.

Chao Yong saw that there were no obvious scars on Zhang Shun's body, and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Zhang Shun?" ”

Zhang Hengdao: "He drove a boat to bomb the city, probably stunned." ”

Chao Yong glared and said, "Didn't I already order to ask for a lot of money to invite the daredevils to bomb the city?" You are all generals now, and you are related to the safety of the soldiers and horses under your command, and you can't take risks lightly. Who let him go? ”

In order to prevent the Tanguts from smashing and sinking the ship that blew up the wall, the gunpowder lead was left very short, otherwise it was really not a dangerous job in terms of Zhang Shun's water skills.

Zhang Hengdao: "He was going to go by himself, he was afraid that the ship would be sunk by the Tanguts, so he spent gunpowder on the ship." If he couldn't get close to the city wall, the second ship would be Ruan Xiaoqi. ”

Chao Yong said helplessly: "How much gunpowder is on the ship?" ”

"Two thousand pounds."

Chao Yong had discussed with everyone before, and if the amount was less, he might not be able to blow up the city wall, and he was afraid that he would be intercepted by the Tanguts if he used it all at once. I had to use a compromise method, using half of the gunpowder at a time, and there were two chances.

The amount of gunpowder was in accordance with Chao Yong's instructions. But this person did not follow Chao Yong's instructions.

However, Zhang Shun and Ruan Xiaoqi are also thinking about the army, once they can't get close to the city wall twice, the 5,000 army will face the encirclement and interception of the Western Xia soldiers and horses, and it is better for two people to fall into danger than for the whole army to fall into danger.

Chao Yong also knew this, but when he was about to dominate the country, he was unwilling to let the Liangshan brothers take risks. Fight the country together, and naturally enjoy wealth together.

Even if he really can't blow up the city wall, with the divine arm crossbow and fire and thunder, Chao Yong is confident that he can take 5,000 people and kill them again. Later, the soldiers and horses were reorganized. It would be easy to destroy Western Xia again.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun was as brave as ever, and personally blew up the city wall.

"The lower officials see the prince."

Chao Yong saw that the imperial doctor in the pro-soldier team was coming, and hurriedly said, "Let's see how Brother Zhang Shun is?" ”

"Yes"

Liu was an imperial physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and when Chao Yong went on the expedition, Chao Gai transferred him to Chao Yong's personal army. Just in case.

Liu Zheng saw that the prince attached so much importance to the people on the ground, so he hurriedly sat down on the spot and gave Zhang Shun a pulse.

Chao Yong didn't dare to disturb Liu Zheng, and when he saw Liu Zheng put down Zhang Shun's wrist, he said, "How is it?" ”

Liu Zheng said with a smile: "It's okay, it should be a huge impact, and the internal organs were injured." General Zhang has strong muscles and bones. A few days of recuperation will take you to heal. ”

When Chao Yong heard this, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Heng said: "Then why is he not awake yet?" ”

Liu Zhengdao: "General Zhang was just stunned, and he should be able to wake up tonight." ”

When Zhang Heng heard this, he was relieved.

Chao Yong hugged Zhang Shun. smiled: "Let's go, go to the back to find a place and settle Brother Zhang Shun." ”

Zhang Heng hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "The end will come." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "It's okay. ”

Although there are many earthen houses in Xingqing Mansion, the palace is magnificent. Although the Tangut people also admired Han culture, because the founding emperor Li Yuanhao was afraid that the Dangxiang clan would be assimilated by the Han people. It is strongly advocated to maintain the national style, so the palace building is built with the characteristics of the party and the nation.

Chao Yong's 500 soldiers were searching the palace for the remnants of the palace guards and royal people.

Chao Yong settled Zhang Shun in a side hall, and asked a few personal soldiers to take care of it, and then he and Zhang Heng came to the front hall.

Zhang Heng hugged his fists and said: "When I came, I saw that the navy was patrolling along the street, and Zhang Shun had already settled down, so I will take my troops to patrol the street." ”

Chao Yong nodded and said, "Okay, I will replace you when Li Kui leads his troops back to the city." ”

By this time the sky had darkened, and the stars were already blinking mischievously in the sky.

There was no more noise in the city, and those who saw the opportunity had fled when the soldiers and horses of Daliang seized the city gate, and those who could not escape could only go home obediently under the drive of the navy, and those who did not cooperate were permanently rested.

"Click"

When Chao Yong heard that there were many good horses in the palace, and the horses of the palace guards were also in the palace, he took a hundred soldiers to ride on the street to check on them. Before he had gone far, he saw a group of men and horses coming from the south, and the first one was still shouting with joy.

Li Kui had also seen Chao Yong and his party, laughed and walked over, carrying a head and said: "Prince, this is Xiao Heda's head, all the people outside the city have been killed, and only a few dozen people have escaped." ”

Jiao Ting said: "Xiao Heda is said to be the general of Xingqing Mansion. ”

Chao Yong nodded and said, "What about those war horses?" ”

Li Kui shook his head and said: "Those beasts can't help but be frightened, many of them have injured their horses' hooves, and some of them are strained and bubbling, and it is estimated that they will not be able to go to the battlefield." I rushed a batch back, and I can't remember much. ”

Jiao Ting said with a smile: "I got more than 2,500 war horses back to the city, and the rest may only eat meat." ”

Chao Yong nodded and said, "Yes, the navy will be tired all the way to the boat." Patrol the streets in their place, and collect the weapons of the great families of the city, and invite them to the king's palace, and those who resist will be killed. ”

When Li Kui heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, I like to kill big families." ”

Chao Yong advised: "There are many Han people in the city, don't kill indiscriminately. Xiang Chong and Li Gon, you also led people to act separately, only searched for big households, finished things early, and rested early. ”

Jiao Ting also knew that he was asking him to look at Li Kui, nodded, and went with Li Kui.

Chao Yong went to the south gate again, Zhang Qing had already asked people to plug the gap that had been blown up, and the big ships outside had also withdrawn. If the Tangut people wanted to attack, the first thing they faced was a moat ten zhang wide.

Chao Yong instructed Zhang Qing to guard carefully, and wait until Li Kui's troops cleared the big households in the city, and then take turns to rest, so as not to gather people to kill the big families in the city.

The party members are still martial, their homes are equipped with weapons, and the large families have many slaves, and they can pull up a team of men and horses at any time. If it weren't for the earth-shattering sound that shocked the party members, when the soldiers and horses of the Liang State entered the city, the party nobles would have gathered people to resist.

Li Kui confiscated the weapons of the big households, and they became lambs to the slaughter, and had to guard against their resistance.

Chao Yong sent someone to inform the other three guards, and then he rode to the palace. (To be continued)
