Chapter 410: Breaking Xingqing Mansion
After a few twists, the walls collapsed, and everyone on the battlefield was stunned.
Li Jun and the others were afraid of the attack of the stone-throwing carts on the city wall, and they all hid more than a mile away, and they all had severe pain in their eardrums.
Zhang Heng saw the city wall collapsing and the rubble splashing, and couldn't help but be in a hurry, and hurriedly ordered his sailors to drive the big boat to the moat.
The flood gate between the Tanglai Canal and the moat had been opened, and the fleet entered the moat without hindrance, and Zhang Heng drove the boat to find his brother Zhang Shun.
Chao Yong saw that the fleet had moved, shook his head vigorously, and shouted: "Li Kui killed all those Western Xia people, and the rest attacked the city." ”
The ears of all the people were rumbling at this time, and they couldn't hear Chao Yong's order at all.
Chao Yong heard no reaction behind him, turned his head to see that everyone was rubbing their ears, so he had to make a slashing gesture to Li Kui pointing at Xiao Heda and others who had fallen to the ground, and then pointed to Zhang Qing, Ou Peng, Ma Lin, and Tao Zongwang at the collapsed city wall.
Everyone also understood Chao Yong's gestures, Li Kui immediately led people straight to Xiao Heda and the others, and the rest ran to the moat with Chao Yong.
Li Jun and the others sailed down the river, but they were faster than Chao Yong and the others, who were staggering and running.
When I arrived at the place where the city wall collapsed, I found that the city wall was under the impact of gunpowder, but it was crooked and fell inward, and the wall three zhang high and one zhang thick fell crookedly, which was still difficult for ordinary soldiers to climb.
Only the place where the gunpowder was blasted was blown out a gap more than a zhang wide, and Li Jun commanded two large ships to anchor side by side at the gap, and then connected them with wooden planks to form a simple pontoon bridge.
During this time, the crowd did not receive any attacks. The people on the nearby city wall were shocked into fools even if they didn't die, and the Xixia people on the city wall in the distance heard the earth-shattering sound and saw the city wall fall down like paper paste, and they all wanted to flee to the edge of the sky, how could anyone dare to come to this devil's land to die.
The pontoon bridge was erected. Li Jun immediately led the ship's sailors into the city to guard the gap.
Although there was no war horse to travel, but a mile away, Chao Yong still quickly rushed into the city, and saw Li Jun with the navy guarding the gap, and immediately shouted: "Follow me to catch Li Renai, the Western Xia people can't block here." ”
When the sailors heard this, they immediately followed Chao Yong and rushed to the palace with great joy.
If you are in Tokyo, you will not be able to see the Imperial Palace at the gates. One is because Tokyo is a big city, and the other is that there are many tall buildings in the city, and many restaurants are taller than the buildings of the Imperial Palace. However, most of the houses in Xingqing Mansion are low earthen houses, and the magnificent palace is the tallest building in the city, which can be seen from a distance.
In the city, chickens fly and dogs jump. Those who lived closer were injurious, and those who were farther away came out like flies to inquire for news. Soon, news of the collapse of the city walls spread throughout the city.
The streets were full of people scurrying around like headless flies, and when they saw the soldiers and horses of the Great Liang entering the city, some of them shrank back to their homes, and some ran in the opposite direction.
In the palace of the Western Xia Dynasty, after Xiao Heda went to war. Li Renai immediately told Yelu Nanxian.
The two of them listened to the soldiers in the palace constantly reporting the situation outside the city, and heard dozens of generals in a row, and when they were thinking about how to end the battle, they heard a loud noise.
Li Renai stood up in shock. "What's the sound?" ”
Yelu Nanxian was almost so frightened that he slipped from his chair to the ground, and hurriedly said, "Quickly let the guards check it out." ”
The guards who had been going back and forth between the palace and the south gate to deliver the news were either dead or injured close to the city wall, and a few people who were farther away saw the city wall twisting and falling, and hurriedly crawled to the palace to report the news.
The livestock in the palace also screamed. It's like the end of the world.
The mother and son waited in the room for a while, and couldn't help but be a little impatient. Li Renai didn't wait for the palace people to serve, and when he walked to the door, he went to open the door in person.
"Smack"
The door was suddenly pushed open and slammed into Li Renai.
"Ahh
The weak Li Renai was suddenly knocked to the ground.
Yelu Nanxian hurriedly stepped forward to help his son, and at the same time said to the guards outside the door: "Pull out this slave who rushed into the lord of the country and behead him." ”
The guards who pushed the door were also startled when they saw that they knocked down the lord of the country, and hurriedly knelt on the ground when they heard the words, and said: "The queen mother forgives her sins, the big thing is not good, the city wall has collapsed." ”
Yelu Nanxian heard that the city wall had collapsed, and he didn't care about the sin of the emperor, so he immediately panicked: "I didn't expect the firearms of the beam to be so powerful, I'm afraid Xingqing Mansion won't be able to hold it, let's go quickly." ”
Li Ren was also very frightened in his love, but he stubbornly said: "Xingqing Mansion is my Great Xia capital, how can I give up easily." The soldiers and horses of the Liang State are only 5,000, except for the people brought out of the city by Xiao Heda, there are still more than 5,000 people in the city, plus the party men in the city, they will definitely be able to repel the soldiers and horses of the Liang State. Gather the palace guards for the king, and the king will personally lead the troops to meet the enemy. ”
When the guard who reported the news heard this, he couldn't help but look at Yelu Nanxian.
Yelu Nanxian was also very proud to see that her son, who had always been weak, was as strong as his father when he was dying, but looking at the eyes of the guards who reported the news, she also had to face the reality.
"The soldiers and horses of the Liang State are so powerful, the city walls have been blown down, and the soldiers and civilians in the city must be panicked, how can they resist it. You are in danger of Great Xia, if anything goes wrong, Great Xia will die. Listen to the words of the queen mother, stay in the green mountains, and be afraid of no firewood. We will temporarily cede Xingqing Mansion to the Liang people, and then gather soldiers and horses to besiege and kill them. ”
Li Renai said with a painful face: "Since the ancestors established Xingqing Mansion, they have never been beaten to the city by the Han people. I had only been on the throne for two days when I was beaten to the city by the Han Chinese. If you give up the capital again, how can you be worthy of your ancestors and ancestors? ”
"If you are killed or captured by the Liang people, then you are sorry for your ancestors."
Yelu Nanxian saw that Li Renai was still hesitating, and said to the guards: "Help the lord of the country to leave the palace." ”
When the guards saw the queen mother's order, they also helped Li Renai to walk out.
Li Renai came out of the house, and when he saw the people running around in the palace, he no longer insisted on defending the city.
"Lord of the country, all the war horses are frightened."
Yelu Nanxian hurriedly said: "Walk out of the city." ”
A group of guards hugged the front gate of the palace where the two of them arrived, and Yelu Nanxian had already seen a large group of black-clothed and black-armored soldiers and horses not far away.
Yelu Nanxian hurriedly said to the commander of the guards: "You bring some people to block the soldiers and horses of the Liang State." ”
"Yes"
Chao Yong had also seen the people coming out of the palace, a group of guards in armor surrounded by the gorgeously dressed Li Renai and Yelu Nanxian, which was very eye-catching.
"Kill"
Chao Yong shouted violently, and then entered the group of Western Xia guards.
Wherever the eight-sided purple gold hammer went, it died when it touched it, and it hurt when it was rubbed. From time to time, someone was smashed into the air and flew up and smashed into a piece.
Before Li Renai and Yelu Nanxian had escaped a few steps, Chao Yong had already killed him.
Several guards were bold and rushed up to stop Chao Yong.
"Ding Ding Ding"
With a few crisp sounds, Chao Yong swept away several people's weapons with one hammer, and the other hammer swept back, knocking several people to the ground.
Li Renai touched Chao Yong's eyes, and immediately fell backwards in fright, so he might as well step on the skirt of Yelu Nanxian beside him, and suddenly fell to the ground.
Chao Yong stepped forward and stepped on Li Renai, shouting, "Don't stop yet." ”
The guards who were fighting with Li Jun and others in the back saw that the lord of the country had fallen into the hands of the enemy, and they did not dare to fight again, some turned around and fled, and some abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
Yelu Nanxian saw that Li Renai, who was weak, was trampled by Chao Yong, his face flushed, and he hurriedly begged: "The general spares his life, the child is not in good health." ”
Although Li Renai felt as if his chest was pressed by a boulder and he had difficulty breathing, he struggled and said: "If the queen mother doesn't ask for him, how can my Empress Dowager of Daxia ask for a martial artist from Liang State." ”
Chao Yong smiled: "Your father and son's Chinese are good, but you are much tougher than your father." ”
Li Renai grabbed Chao Yong's feet, gritted his teeth and said, "You killed my father?" ”
Chao Yong smiled: "I didn't kill it, but I ordered it." ”
"I'll kill you."
Li Renai heard that the enemy who killed his father was right in front of him, and couldn't help but struggle frantically. It's a pity that his body is not as hard as his backbone, and after a few struggles, he has difficulty breathing and rolls his eyes.
Seeing this, Yelu Nanxian couldn't care about the dignity of the queen mother anymore, so he knelt down and said, "The general will spare my son." ”
Chao Yong saw that Li Renai was about to faint, so he also let go of his feet and said, "I will let the Han people captured by you take care of you." ”
"Pass my general order, Zhang Qing guards the south gate, Ou Peng guards the north gate, Ma Lin guards the west gate, and Tao Zongwang guards the east gate. The navy patrolled along the streets, and the people in the city were not allowed to go to the streets, nor were they allowed to gather crowds, and violators were killed. (To be continued)
