The scorching sun is in the sky, the city is already full of cooking smoke, the food is fragrant, but the south gate is still in the flames of war.

Western Xia soldiers and horses requisitioned people from afar, and then drove them to fill the moat.

The party members are brave, and the people who have been conscripted have already clashed with the Renli army several times.

In recent years, the party population has increased, and the system of all people being soldiers has been abolished. Party members are also accustomed to farming, paying grain, and being paid as soldiers. When they received the food, the conquest was to be done by the soldiers.

Now it is a rest of food, and the battle of food, the strong party members are naturally unwilling to suffer this loss, especially the strong men who are forced to use bows and arrows to suppress the archers at the head of the city and the strong men who climb the arrow tower are even more rebellious, and they have been suppressed by the city head several times, with countless casualties, and the people behind are unwilling to send them to death, and they rush to the overseer's soldiers when they get the weapons.

At first, Renli only needed to send a single army to suppress the turbulent strong men, but later, more and more corpses piled up under the city, and the smell of blood in the air became heavier and heavier, and the wildness of the party members was stimulated.

Ignoring the army waiting behind him, the strong man began to shoot the overseer's soldiers, and the people on the ground were naturally much easier to shoot than the people on the city.

Many of the soldiers were caught off guard and were shot to the ground, and the strong men nearby picked up their weapons and began to fight with the overseer's soldiers.

Renli sent a team of soldiers to suppress it, but unexpectedly, some of the soldiers of the same tribe stood on the side of the strong men and helped to fight.

The party members under the city began to kill each other, and the people at the head of the city were able to rest for a while.

Chao Yong lifted the lid of the bucket, grabbed the scoop from the bucket, and scooped a scoop of water, the ice in it had already completely melted, and the wooden bucket was a little hot under the sun. The water in the bucket has long since lost its coolness.

"Goo-dong"

"Goo-dong"

"Goo-dong"

Chao Yong poured a scoop of water, only to feel that the heat had receded slightly, handed the scoop to Sun Li on the side, and said, "Everyone drink water and watch the excitement." ”

When the soldiers heard the prince say this, their tense nerves relaxed.

Sun Li drank water while looking at the crowd fighting under the city and said: "The party and the people are indeed strong, and if the Western Xia is destroyed, I am afraid that there will be many rogues, and it may be difficult to govern." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Just let the remaining rogues slowly exterminate them." After the destruction of the Western Xia, more Han people were moved to separate the party tribes, and they also fought with arms. ”

Han Shizhong said: "The party members are aggressive, but those households lack knives and guns. Fight and suffer. The next time they come to fill the river, we'll throw some knives and guns at them and keep them fighting. ”

Chao Yong smiled: "This is a good idea, anyway, there is no shortage of swords and guns in the Western Xia soldiers and horses, why not give them some more." Shi Yong, Xue Yong, you take your troops back to the palace and change the other three teams of soldiers and horses. Let them bring some weapons. ”

"Yes"

At the same time as the rotation of the pro-soldiers, Chao Yong also asked Ma Lin and Zhang Qingbu to exchange city defenses in a unit of 100 people.

A team of 100 people went to the west gate through the city, and even if the Tanguts attacked at this time, the soldiers and horses at the head of the city were enough to repel the Tanguts.

Soon. Zhang Qing came from the West Gate with a team of 100 people, and another team of 100 people from Ma Lin's Department went to the West Gate again.

Renli had sent 10,000 men to suppress the riots, but all the more than 10,000 strong men on the front line had joined the battle group, plus some generals from the same tribe had changed. The battle was uneventful for a while.

The Jingzhou guard saw that the 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command were constantly suffering casualties, and couldn't help but say: "Keep fighting like this." Even if I can kill those strong men, I'm afraid that more than half of my soldiers and horses will be killed or wounded. ”

When the Lingzhou guard saw him, he said: "If we send troops to step forward again, I am afraid that there will be more soldiers who have rebelled, and we have to beware of the Han people, so it is not appropriate to send troops to go immediately." ”

The Dingzhou guard general was also afraid of joining the war group and damaging the troops, so he echoed: "There are already some soldiers under my command who are unstable, and once they join the war group, I am afraid that they will defect." ”

Renli also said: "The current situation really can't be withdrawn. ”

The Jingzhou guard said: "It's better to withdraw the soldiers and horses, and let the people retreat." ”

The Lingzhou guard and the Jingzhou guard were at odds, and when they heard the words, they immediately said: "Let them all leave, who will fill the moat?" ”

The Jingzhou guard general saw that the Lingzhou guard general fell into the well, and simply said: "The matter of the conquest was originally the business of our paid, but now the people are forced to do our work, no wonder they resist." In my opinion, it is time to release the people, and the various ministries take turns to fill the river. Otherwise, if you kill all these people, the people who come behind will also resist, and our soldiers and horses will be exhausted, even if the river is filled, there will not be many soldiers and horses to attack the city. ”

The Lingzhou guard retorted: "If we fill the river with our soldiers and horses, there will be no soldiers and horses to fill the moat." ”

The Jingzhou guard said: "Then the people will fill the river, and the soldiers will be responsible for covering." ”

Previously, it was the soldiers and horses of Dingzhou who were responsible for covering, and after thousands of casualties, the Dingzhou guard general proposed to transfer strong men to cover. At this time, he heard that the Jingzhou guard was about to overthrow his proposal, and couldn't help but say: "When the archers arrived at the city, they were completely suppressed by the city head, and the soldiers also complained. If the soldiers are to be in charge of covering, unless they are allowed to pile up mountains of dirt and change the current situation of sending them to death. ”

Renli frowned and said: "How can there be time to pile up dirt and mountains now, these untouchables, now is the time for the country to use them, but they have rebelled." Kill them all. ”

Renli was born in the royal family, and he was young and ambitious, in his opinion, these commoners were indeed from low backgrounds, and some generals from noble backgrounds did not feel that there was anything wrong. However, some of the generals were brave warriors of various tribes, and they were promoted through military exploits, and the strong men who fought in front of them had their relatives and friends, and they couldn't help but change their faces when they heard Renli call them untouchables.

The Jingzhou guard was still arguing, but he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, and turned his head to see that two patrolling cavalrymen were galloping with one man.

Everyone seemed to be anxious, and they knew that there was another emergency military situation.

"Yesterday evening, the soldiers and horses of the Liang State raided Mingsha, and Mingsha has fallen."

When Renli heard this, he hurriedly said: "How many soldiers and horses are there in the Liang Kingdom?" ”

"No less than fifty thousand."

When the generals heard that the army of Liang had defeated Mingsha, they immediately panicked.

The Lingzhou guard said: "The soldiers and horses of the Liang State have defeated Mingsha, and the next step is to fight Lingzhou." There are only 10,000 soldiers and horses left in Lingzhou now, and I am afraid that I will not be able to hold the city, so my department must return to Lingzhou. ”

Renli frowned and said, "If 10,000 people can't defend Lingzhou, can 20,000 people defend it?" ”

The Lingzhou guard looked at the gap in the wall of Xingqing Mansion and lost confidence.

Renli said: "The soldiers and horses of the Liang State have gunpowder to break the city, and the city wall is almost useless. The crown prince of Liang led 90,000 soldiers and horses to break the two armies of the King of Jin and the first emperor successively. Now that 50,000 soldiers and horses are attacking, who has the confidence to lead the troops to stop them? ”

The generals looked at each other and shook their heads silently.

Brother Cha was the god of war in Western Xia, and Li Qianshun's command was full of elites, and both of them were defeated. They don't have Chage's strategy, and most of the remnants of the troops under their command are defeated soldiers who have returned from Shaanxi, and no one dares to say that they can turn decay into magic.

The Dingzhou guard said: "Where has King Pu's 200,000 troops retreated now?" ”

When Renli heard this, he said, "According to the schedule, it should have passed Hengshan." ”

The Jingzhou guard general asked, "Isn't there any connection between King Pu and King Shu?" ”

Renli said: "Two days ago, he sent back the news that he had retreated the same way. But there was no news for the past two days. ”

The Jingzhou guard said: "Will there be any accidents, otherwise King Pu should always have news back, right?" ”

Renli actually knew that Huanqing Road had cut off the grain route, and Renzhong's army was trapped in Huanzhou, but he believed that his brother would be able to break through and come back, but now everyone didn't know it, and he didn't want to tell them, so he asked: "My brother has 200,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and the prince of Liang and the elite soldiers and horses have entered our country, can anyone else in Shaanxi threaten my brother?" ”

When everyone heard this, they also felt reasonable, but they felt that it was wrong, if there was no accident, Renzhong's soldiers and horses should also return to China. Once the army returns, it is impossible for everyone not to know the news.

The Jingzhou guard saw that everyone couldn't discuss anything for a while, but his own soldiers and horses in front of him were constantly suffering casualties, and he couldn't help but say to the herald behind him: "Retreat." ”

"Woo woo"

A majestic horn sounded, and the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou in the melee heard the order, and withdrew from the battle group and retreated, but the strong men who killed the red eyes chased them and killed them.

Seeing this, Renli hurriedly shouted: "Don't let the rebels rush into position, and the armies will shoot their positions." ”

When many generals heard this, they hurriedly gave orders.

A dense rain of arrows flew up from the front of the formation like locusts, shooting at the Jingzhou soldiers and horses who retreated in front.

Some of the soldiers who retreated quickly were immediately shot to the ground, and the soldiers behind saw that the road ahead was impassable, so they could only go around to the side.

After chasing after him and deflating his anger, they all scattered and fled, and some even fled under the city wall.

Chao Yong saw a few Xixia people fleeing screaming, so he said to Han Shizhong on the side: "What did they say? ”

Han Shizhong has been fighting in the northwest for more than ten years, but he can understand the simple words, especially the people below still shouting common words on the battlefield, and said with a smile: "They want to surrender to us." These people killed the Western Xia officers and soldiers, and like the rebellion, the Western Xia soldiers and horses will definitely retaliate. ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Move the wooden fence and let them in." ”

When the Tangut people saw the Han people open the wooden fence, they couldn't help but rush overjoyed, and some people called for friends.

When many strong men heard the movement here, they were also afraid that they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the officers and soldiers outside the city, so they ran here one after another.

Chao Yong immediately asked Li Kui to isolate all the strong men who had just entered the city.

In order to prevent misunderstanding, the Xixia people threw all their weapons outside the city, and when they entered the city, they were surrounded by Li Kui and the group players, and they couldn't help but regret it.

Li Kui watched everyone fight in the past few days, and he had been holding back for a long time, leading his troops to surround the Tangut people, and immediately shouted excitedly to the city: "Kill all these Tangut people?" ”

Chao Yong shouted, "Shave their heads and let them go." ”

There are people in the Western Xia people under the city who can understand Chinese when they hear the general of the city say this, and they are also relieved, compared to life, hair is really nothing.
