The Western Xia army attacked in turn, and the pressure on Dashun City can be imagined. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lin Zhao and Jing Sili were also busy, constantly running on the city wall, directing the battle. Under such a fierce offensive, the slightest carelessness may destroy the city and kill people, so no one dares to take it lightly.

This time, there are 5,000 defenders in Dashun City, and it stands to reason that in a key place like Dashun City, there are more troops, and the more the better, at least it is more secure.

But Dashun City is only such a palm-sized place, and no matter how many people there are, it can't accommodate it at all. In addition, the larger the number of people, the greater the need for food, grass and weapons supplies.

Although it is only 40 miles from Gyeongju to here, it is surrounded by tigers and wolves along the way, which is extremely risky. So five thousand people is already capped. Fortunately, the 5,000 soldiers are all veterans of the Western Army who have experienced the baptism of war, and their combat effectiveness is good, and their experience is also richer.

At this point, Wang Shao is quite kind, but what about other aspects?

When he was originally assigned to Dashun City, Lin Zhao didn't think much about it, after all, he had been stationed in Dashun City and was quite familiar with everything here. At the same time, it also meets some of my own psychological expectations, and I feel that it is reused.

But it didn't take long for Liang Yibury to bring the Western Xia army to kill.

Lin Zhao woke up at this time, and it seemed that he had underestimated Liang Yiburi's hatred for him. Isn't it that little festival in Qingtang City, as for leading the army to attack repeatedly, you have to put people to death, right? The dignified Western Xia Prime Minister is too narrow-minded. Look at me, last time I led the army to storm Dashun City. I fought bloodily and almost destroyed the city, and I never held a grudge against you. Why can't you think about it?

Lin Zhao also smiled bitterly. Helpless!

However, Liang Yi was about to come, and Lin Zhao was helpless. This time it is another 50,000 army, which can be described as menacing. The day before yesterday, Lin Zhao stood at the head of the city and saw Liang Yi burying the battle in front of the battle, and there was a person standing behind him, who was Li Fugui, the former governor of Gyeongju who defected to Western Xia.

For Liang Yiburied, Lin Zhao can look at it very lightly, and even don't care too much. But Lee Fu-gyu. That is absolutely unforgivable, and this revenge is not a gentleman.

framed himself for a life and death crisis, and almost fell to the ground, how can this deep hatred and hatred easily dissipate? The most important thing is that the more than 1,000 soldiers in Dashun City died in his hands in vain, for his own glory and wealth, framing others, and mutilating his subordinate soldiers.

Since he did so, he had to pay the price. It must be paid in blood. As soon as he saw Li Fugui, Lin Zhao would think of that night. The wails of the soldiers under the raging fire, and the oaths they have made.

It is necessary to slash Li Fugui and avenge the more than 1,000 soldiers who died in vain. I thought that I would never have a chance, and it would be an eternal regret. If Li Fugui had stayed in Xixia all the time, he would really be beyond the reach of the whip, and he would have no choice but to do so, but he didn't expect him to be so bold and reckless and send it to the door.

Hum! Since you're here, let's let you have no return!

Of course, Lin Zhao was much more rational than them, although he was very eager to kill Li Fugui, he also knew that things should not be rushed. Impulse is the devil, an impulse will lead to bad things, and everything must be thought twice.

Just the current situation, Dashun City has been besieged by the Western Xia army. Li Fugui was protected by the Western Xia army outside the city, so how easy was it to kill him?

Easy to open the city gate to fight? That's obviously the rhythm of looking for your own death. How can you ignore the safety of Dashun City and the safety of thousands of soldiers because of revenge? There is no need to think much about which is more important. From beginning to end, Lin Zhao was a well-informed and cautious person.

If you want to kill Li Fugui, you can only hope for Wang Shao in Gyeongju, at least you can kill that beast traitor, it doesn't matter what way you use it. Last time, Chen Qiao saved Li Fugui from him, I believe that Wang Shao himself is also very angry, and he regrets it deeply, and now he is given such a chance, I believe he will cherish it, and he will be ashamed.

But when? How did Wang Shao himself plan it? Lin Zhao also had a lot of doubts in his heart! Wang Shao has not moved so far, does he have other plans? Or is there something else on your mind?

Ever since the Western Xia launched a major attack, Lin Zhao had some doubts about Wang Shao's motives. Thinking about it carefully, it is reasonable for him to appear in Dashun City and cause Liang Yibury to take revenge on a large scale, which is not surprising.

Didn't Wang Shao think of this at all? Judging from his ingenuity and the state of his military and intelligence in charge of a state, he is somewhat aware and expected.

In that case, why did Wang Shao still do this? It looks like he did it on purpose, but what did he want to do on purpose? Is it a communiqué vendetta? The relationship between Wang Shao and Wang Anshi is also very close! If it weren't for the promotion of the prince and the appreciation of the officials, how could he easily sit in the position of governor of a state at the age of thirty?

If it weren't for his close relationship with Wang Anshi, how could he have sent him to replace Li Fugui? The reason why Li Fugui was careless and fell in love with Wang Shao's way was largely because they all belonged to Wang Xianggong's family, and although they were not familiar with each other, they also had the same friendship. But he forgot that he had always deceived Wang Anshi's trust, where could he talk about being a disciple? At most, Wang Yan has some contact, when will Wang Anshi nod and admit it?

What's more, at that time, Wang Xianggong himself was already too busy to take care of himself, where would he have time to protect him? If he knew that Wang Yan still had the intention of killing people against him, he was afraid that he would be even more cold-hearted. It is precisely because of this mentality that Li Fugui fell into Wang Shao's way.

Lin Zhao couldn't help but wonder, to what extent is Wang Shao and Wang Anshi close? Will it be ...... In fact, what is more worried is the meaning of Emperor Zhao Xuan, if it is instructed by the emperor, Wang Shao is afraid that it will be difficult to refuse. Although Zhao Ji acquitted himself and made him an earl, it seems that he is as favored as ever.

But some rifts, once they appear, can never be repaired. Although Zhao Ji looks kind and pleasant, he doesn't know how insidious he is behind the scenes? Thinking that he should have known that he was wronged, but he still instructed the soldiers of the forbidden army to give false testimony, this uneasy and kind intention is obvious.

Later, under pressure, Zhao Ji had to admit his mistake, but he would definitely not trust himself as always. After all, he had murderous intentions towards himself, and whether he would still be loyal was a question, so he naturally had to consider it. Of course, in order to protect his face, it is completely possible to kill himself and kill himself.

When he was in Bianjing, he didn't dare to act rashly in front of everyone. What's more, there is the Empress Dowager protecting herself, he needs to weigh it, and he has no chance to do it at all. However, the northwest mountain is far away from the emperor, and the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, so it is much easier to do some things, such as borrowing a knife to kill people, leaving no trace. It is possible for Wang Shao to receive the instruction, and it is difficult to say what kind of mentality is the reason for such an arrangement.

Lin Zhao was really helpless, he wanted to mix in the Great Song Dynasty, but he offended the emperor, how can he mix in the future? He had also thought about revenge, but how could he be the emperor's opponent with his own strength? Although I am extremely depressed, I am afraid that it is very difficult to implement it.

Leaving the Song Dynasty? Apparently impossible. At least the surrounding countries can't stay, is it difficult to take a beautiful wife and concubine to go overseas? This is the 11th century A.D., and it is not fashionable to go abroad at this time, not to mention that the situation does not seem to be so bad.

But what about the future? This seems to be an unsolvable problem, unless...... Unless the emperor has changed! In an instant, such a "big rebellion" thought appeared in Lin Zhao's mind.

At this moment, a cloud ladder leaned against the city wall, and the shouts of killing sounded again, interrupting Lin Zhao's thoughts.

"Meet the enemy!"

Lin Zhao immediately sent someone to meet him, and a jar of black grease was poured on top of the ladder, and the torch was thrown down, and a fire was ignited. The Western Xia soldiers on the cloud ladder instantly became a burning man and fell from the city.

In the past, tung oil was mainly used to burn the opponent's ladders and chariots, but the output of tung oil in the northwest was not much, and the transportation was extremely troublesome, and it was often not enough. Fortunately, not long ago, Shen Kuo discovered a black liquid that can burn in Yanzhou, which everyone calls fire oil, but Shen Kuo named it oil.

When Lin Zhao sent the sand table over, he thought that it would take some time for the oil to be discovered by Shen Kuo, but he didn't expect that it had already been exploited there. In view of the flammable nature of this substance, Han Jiang immediately ordered people to extract oil and distribute it to various cities.

Because Dashun City is at the forefront of the city, the pressure of urban defense is high, and the amount of oil used is large, so a lot of it has been distributed. This would be a wonderful use against the Tanguts. In addition to the fire attack, there are also rolling wooden stones, boiling boiling water, etc.

If the Tangut people wanted to climb to the top of the city, they had to endure the killing of the Song army. The smashed head was broken and bleeding, or burned to dry bones, or burned beyond recognition, and the casualties were quite heavy. But war is so cruel that casualties are inevitable.

The defenders of the Song Dynasty at the head of the city also suffered many casualties, and the situation was also very tragic. Every time a soldier dies at the head of the city, the strength of the guards is weakened by a point.

Lin Zhao was very distressed, but Liang Yibury under the city didn't seem to be distressed at all, nor was he in a hurry. After all, the strength of the Western Xia army was ten times that of the Song army, and the people who were killed and wounded were not afraid, and the Western Xia people could afford to spend it.

As soon as the cloud ladder was destroyed, another group of Tanguts killed them, and Lin Zhao immediately commanded the soldiers to suppress them with bows and arrows, forcing the Tanguts to not get close.

The Northwest Fort is different from the Central Plains City, where there is a lack of water sources and no moat. Without a barrier, the walls were directly exposed to the attacks of the Western Xia army. This also makes it more difficult to defend and the pressure is much greater.

After finally repelling a round of attacks, Lin Zhao immediately set off and went to find the main general Jing Sili to discuss how to carry out the next round of defense. (To be continued.) )
