Chapter 359: Madness

Flutter!
The sharp long knife sank into the body, and the blood splattered, and a Western Xia soldier who had finally climbed to the top of the city fell down with a cry of pain, and then disappeared. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Lin Zhao wiped the sweat and blood stains on his face, this was already the seventh Western Xia soldier killed in this while. Seeing that the Western Xia soldiers under the city were still pouring over, the pressure in Lin Zhao's heart was inevitably a little great.
Liang Yibu had promised that the first soldiers to ascend Dashun City would be rewarded, and would also be awarded to high-ranking officials, and even tribal leaders. There must be brave men under the heavy reward, after Liang Guoxiang made a promise, the Western Xia soldiers were stimulated, all went crazy, and they all desperately killed them.
It is their tradition to advocate bravery, and in their view, it is their duty to sacrifice their lives and death on the battlefield, and they are not so afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice. If there is such a heavy reward, it can be said that it is the best of both worlds, and under the double stimulation, the performance is more courageous.
It goes without saying that the offensive is much fiercer!
In this way, the pressure on Da Shun is much greater.
The wolf smoke has been released for nearly ten days, and the Gyeongju side is not completely without the slightest response, but it did send reinforcements, but on the way it encountered an ambush by Western Xia, with more than 1,000 casualties, and after losing the battle, it quickly retreated to Liyuan Fort. Since then, the turtle has retreated into the city, standing still, and has not moved.
Is Song Jun afraid? Or is the Song army already fragile and vulnerable?
After Liang Yibury got the news, he was pleasantly surprised, very excited, and his confidence further expanded. The momentum of the army's attack became more violent, and the small city of Dashun was completely in turmoil, and the situation was quite critical.
Because the offensive of the Western Xia army became more ferocious. Dashun City's defensive pressure and cost are much greater. A few days down. Seven or eight hundred soldiers have been killed in direct battle. There were more injuries, quite tragically. Fortunately, with a total of 5,000 soldiers, the number of troops can cope with it for the time being.
The most critical weapon shortage was because the Western Xia offensive was more ferocious, and it was a round-the-clock attack, and in order to repel the attack, the Song army had to pay more. It was enough for half a month's use of arrowheads and oil, but it was almost consumed in ten days.
Once these could effectively suppress the shortage of weapons of the Tanguts from a distance. The Tangut would climb to the top of the city and begin a real hand-to-hand encounter.
If it really comes to this point, it means that the defense of Dashun City will enter the most difficult days. The death rate of the Song army will also be greatly increased, and the cost of repelling the attack of the Tanguts will be even greater. There are only more than 3,000 troops left in Dashun City, and if the consumption increases, how long can it be supported? How long can it last?
Is it possible to make all the 5,000 soldiers fight again? Is this the rhythm of Dashun City that can't be kept? Jing Sili and Lin Zhao couldn't help but feel a little worried in their hearts.
Lin Zhao raised his knife and killed another Western Xia soldier, and looked back in the direction of Gyeongju in the southeast.
It's been ten days, and the wolf smoke has been released for ten days, but there doesn't seem to be a clear response from Gyeongju. As for the 5,000 reinforcements, it was simply a formality and formalism. There is not the slightest practical significance. What's more, he has now returned to Liyuan Castle, and has not been able to shrink since then.
Can Wang Shao be prepared for the Western Xia ambush? Nothing to do? Still scared. Don't dare to do anything? Don't have a little countermeasure?
How could Wang Shao be so incompetent?
Lin Zhao never believed that Wang Shao did not have the slightest method and countermeasure, otherwise he would be able to preside over the Battle of Xihe and go down in history? In any case, he is a generation of famous generals from Jinshi, and his qualifications and abilities will definitely not be so bad!
So why did Wang Shao react like this? He didn't want to rescue himself at all? Do you really want to borrow a knife to kill people and frame yourself? But there are still Jing Sili and 5,000 soldiers here, could it be that he is also the same as Li Fugui, who will not be saved when he sees death, and has a femme fatale? To be honest, Lin Zhao was easily unwilling to accept this fact.
Maybe Wang Shao has other plans, right? But what exactly does he want? Wouldn't it be better to communicate something in advance and coordinate with each other? At least let people know a little bit of news, and it is also good to have a psychological preparation! There is no rumor at all, Wang Shao, what are you going to make trouble?
Lin Zhao was completely confused, the situation in Dashun City was already quite urgent. Is it possible to do such an extremely thrilling thing every time? Do you have to wait until the last turn to make a difference? Of course, the biggest concern is that even at the last minute, there is no turnaround!
Wang Shao, Wang Shao, no matter what you want, I hope to hurry, the soldiers of Dashun City can't afford to wait, don't let the blood of the soldiers be shed in vain! Lin Zhao looked in the direction of Gyeongju, and there was only one expectation in his heart.
Another Western Xia soldier climbed to the top of the city, Lin Zhao did not dare to delay, and immediately led people to kill him.
After a few months, the battle for the defense of Dashun City once again entered the white-hot stage.
In this case, Lin Zhao was really a little worried, if he continued to follow this step-by-step, Dashun City would have problems sooner or later. It seems that we have to think of some way, under the existing conditions, let Liang Yi bury a little loss as much as possible!
Thinking of this, taking advantage of the gap in the war, Lin Zhao hurriedly went to Jing Sili to discuss and prepare a gift for the Western Xia warriors who were eager to make meritorious contributions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Liang Guoxiang, it can be seen that Dashun City's defensive ability is getting worse and worse!" Li Fugui was overjoyed and very excited. He was a former governor of Gyeongju and knew the state of Gyeongju's defense very well. Judging from the performance of the defenders of Dashun City, it has gradually weakened, and the defense has become weaker and weaker.
In particular, the fire oil that caused great damage to the Western Xia soldiers a few days ago has gradually decreased, and the feather arrows have also been significantly thinned out a lot, and it is obvious that their weapon reserves have become less and less, and they are about to run out of them. Without the suppression of feather arrows and the destruction of fire oil, the siege vehicles and ladders of the Western Xia army could be directly tested.
When the condescending defenders are unable to suppress the enemy attacking from behind, the attack is much easier. As long as you climb to the top of the city, fight each other in close combat, and open a gap, the city may be broken. Regardless of their strategy, they used to be generals of one side, and they all knew about military common sense.
"Indeed!" Hearing Li Fugui's explanation, Liang Yibury was very happy, this is exactly the result he wants to see. In fact, there is no need for other corroboration, the Song army's defensive capability can be seen at a glance from the battle. A few days ago, the Western Xia soldiers climbed bravely, but it was difficult to climb the city. In the past few days, they have been able to climb to the top of the city and engage in hand-to-hand combat, which is a good sign for their attacking side. If the current situation continues to develop, in a few days, Dashun City will not be able to support it.
"What's going on in Gyeongju?" Now a very key factor is whether there are reinforcements arriving in Gyeongju, which is a matter that Liang Yibu is very concerned about. He hoped that when he captured Dashun City, he would not be disturbed by any other factors. As long as you are single-minded and go all out, it is only a matter of time before you break the city.
One of the generals replied: "The prime minister is relieved, it has been properly resolved, and Gyeongju sent a reinforcement army, but it was ambushed by our army and suffered heavy losses." Now the turtle is cowering in Liyuan Fort, and he doesn't dare to go out at all, thinking that Xia is scared. ”
The smooth sailing of the battle, as well as the victory so far, have begun to carry them away a little. Many times they are arrogant and careless.
Liang Yi buried and smiled: "This is the effect I want, it seems that Wang Shao'er is nothing more than that, I thought highly of him before!" Perhaps, as Li Fugui said, Wang Shao is just a scholar, an embroidered pillow, and he is vulnerable after all. As for Han Jiang, the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road, in the end, he is not in Gyeongju, and some things are beyond the reach of the whip. Even if he comes, what will happen? The current situation in Gyeongju, is he still capable of turning the tide?
Liang Yi was buried and now he was full of confidence, no one looked at it, he seemed to have seen Han Jiang coming in his heart, and he couldn't help but laugh coldly!
"Congratulations to Prime Minister Liang, the city is just around the corner!" People had to bow their heads under the eaves, Li Fugui was already a little shameless, and he complimented Liang Yibury a lot.
"yes!" Liang Yi nodded with a smile, what he was looking forward to more than breaking the city was to capture Lin Zhao alive and take revenge. After a moment of silence, he ordered: "Order the soldiers to divide into three squads and attack alternately, without stopping for a moment, until the moment of capture of Dashun City." "In order to capture the city as soon as possible and capture Lin Zhao, this guy has reached the point of madness.
"Prime Minister, let's wait a little longer, and when all the arrows and oil in the city are used up, we will attack on a large scale. The effect will be the same, and we will have a lot fewer casualties. The soldier who had proposed to encircle the point and send reinforcements seemed to be a little worried, and made such a suggestion.
In his opinion, the results achieved were completely unanimous. It is best to pay as little price and casualties as possible, the population of Western Xia is not very large, and it is not easy to live in the bitter cold land of the northwest, so why let them pay some fearless sacrifices? This is a relatively benevolent general, and a relatively rational general!
"Is this necessary?" Liang Yishu asked coldly, in his opinion, there is nothing more important than breaking the city as soon as possible and capturing Lin Zhao alive. Even if there are a few casualties, so what? It's just a trifle! What's more, the long-range counterattacks in the city have become more and more scarce, and it seems that there is no need to worry.
Liang Yi didn't care, and the generals were very helpless, so they could only hope that the Western Xia warriors would have fewer casualties!
Maybe there were still some worries before this, but at noon, the feather arrows of the Song army's counterattack became more and more scarce, and it was better than nothing. It is clear that it has reached the last moment, and the weapons have finally bottomed out.
Under such circumstances, Liang Yibury no longer had a psychological burden, and immediately mobilized the army to attack. This time it's all out, even madness! (To be continued.) )
