Chapter Fifty-Eight: Artillery Yang Wei
With twenty roars, the artillery test fire ended
"Your Majesty, the test is over, please give me instructions," the herald said to me, clenching his fists
"Target docks, free fire"
"Yes." The herald turned to the various gun emplacements and shouted the order: "Target battlements, free volley, fire"
The muzzle of the artillery continued to spray tongues of fire, the city head of Hongzhou was like a purgatory on earth, there were constantly Xixia soldiers who were killed, smashed to death by the blown up bricks, and even more were hit by flying shells, instantly turned into blood mist, and the minced meat was sprinkled all over the ground, and the horse road of the city wall was full of stumps and broken arms and minced meat that was blown up to the point that I don't know what kind of organization it was, only at this moment, the soldiers in the city of Hongzhou, an important town on the border of Western Xia, and even the general completely lost the will to resist
The cannon was constantly spitting, and behind each tongue of fire you could see the rubble flying across the city, the broken limbs of the city
"Artillery fire, target gates"
Hearing my order, the gunners quickly adjusted their gun positions
"Yang Zhi, after the city is broken, you immediately lead the army to kill, and all those who dare to resist my Great Song Tianwei will be killed."
"The Last Will Do Duty"
Twenty artillery pieces were ready almost at the same time, under the order of the Chinese army, the muzzle of the black hole brought up twenty tongues of fire, the cannonballs flew by, and the wooden gate covered with steel plates instantly turned into iron slag sawdust, and now Hongzhou City was like a beautiful woman who had been stripped of fine light
"Kill" Yang Zhihu roared and waved the five-hooked tiger tooth gun in his hand with the morale of the 10,000 people under his tent, and the blood of the beast was boiling into Hongzhou City, on the other hand, the Xixia soldiers in the city, because the power of the artillery was that they completely lost the will to fight, and the 10,000 iron cavalry led by Yang Zhi only occupied Hongzhou City at the cost of 175 casualties and zero deaths...... Dividing line ......
"General Guan, listen, Hongzhou has begun," Dong Ping said to Guan Sheng excitedly and nervously
"Yes, it's up to us now, General Dong, you are on the battlefield for the first time, it is normal to be excited, and it is normal to be nervous, the front is our destination, you and I each lead an army to ambush and the small slopes on the left and right, and after the enemy army is more than halfway through, you will see that after I open the cannon, you will shoot with me and shoot by yourself"
"The last general obeys the order, please rest assured General Guan"
Hongzhou and Longzhou are only 100 miles apart, when our army arrived at the city of Hongzhou, Hongzhou Taishou sent people to Longzhou for help.
Halfway through the night, the cavalry from the direction of Longzhou City arrived as scheduled, and when they were just halfway through this small valley, the nightmare began
"Mortar preparation" saw the Western Xia reinforcements enter the small valley, and the big knife Guan Sheng whispered to the artillery to prepare, and after the Western Xia army was halfway through, Guan Sheng shouted: "Open the cannon"
Suddenly, the second half of the entire Western Xia army fell into a sea of fire, just when the Western Xia people were in chaos, frightened, Guan Sheng and Dong Ping both killed from both sides, the reinforcement generals were frightened and hurriedly met the enemy, in a panic, only to see Guan Sheng sit down on the red rabbit horse in an instant, the enemy general was shocked, and hurriedly pulled out the waist knife to meet the enemy, but Guan Sheng's horse was very anxious, a green dragon knife was raised with both hands, a style of force split Huashan, the Western Xia enemy will be cut into two sections, and then look at Dong Ping, the two flower guns in his hand stabbed left and right, and there is no enemy under him, At this time, a member of the Western Xia will kill obliquely, the horse lance in his hand pointed directly at Dong Ping's chest and abdomen, only to see Dong Ping's feet off and fly up, two spears in his hands like a double dragon stirring the pillar straight to stab the enemy general, and the enemy general shook the horse lance and stabbed the horse, as if to die with Dong Ping, and at this time a cavalry swept behind the enemy general, with a wave of the sword, with the horsepower of the momentum, a big head with the blood in the cavity rushed to the sky, but a moment of effort, the seven thousand Xixia reinforcements who came to help were all annihilated. Guan Sheng, Dong Ping waved his army north, the army went to Longzhou, under the pouring of dozens of mortars, nearly 200 shells blew up the gate of Longzhou City, Guan Sheng, Dong Ping took Longzhou City overnight, and all living creatures who dared to resist according to my will were all killed
After the news that our army raided the Western Xia and connected two important border towns overnight reached Xingqing, the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom, the whole country of the Western Xia was shocked, and the Western Xia Emperor Li Qianshun was terrified
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are talking, the Song people have called, and they have connected the two fortified cities overnight, you have an idea for me." Li Qianshun, the emperor of Western Xia, said anxiously to the ministers
"Your Majesty, let's hurry up and sue for peace, the Song people are greedy and cowardly, as long as we are willing to pay tribute, the ministers think they will definitely retreat." Li Zaiwen, the prime minister of Western Xia, said first
"Can't we fight? Which Aiqing is willing to lead the troops to fight, and I am willing to worship him as a marshal, with the rank of general. Emperor Xia said how much he hoped that someone would stand up and lead the people of Western Xia to resist the attack of the Song Dynasty, but it backfired, and people always stood up and said that they were willing to lead the troops to fight
Emperor Xia looked at the ministers who were all silent, and then sat back on the dragon chair decadently, "Okay, Prime Minister, you can arrange for someone to ask Song for peace." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will arrange it." Lee Jae Moon was ready to arrange it. And then an old voice interrupted everyone's contemplation
"Wait a minute, are you really ready to submit to the enemy? We are the great party Xiangqiang people, the glorious descendants of Li Yuanhao" I saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy helping a trembling old man slowly into the main hall. The old man walked up to His Majesty Dan and pushed away the young man who was holding him, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said to Emperor Xia Li Qianshun
"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan, but he can break the thief" This old man is a Western Xia national teacher, named Helan Tiehe
"Ao, the national teacher has a plan, come quickly," Emperor Xia Li Qianshun couldn't wait to ask
"Your Majesty, there is a poison in the minister's system, although it is not fatal, but it can make anyone diarrhea until they collapse, as long as Your Majesty sends someone to sprinkle these poisons into the river where the Song people draw water, the minister guarantees that after they drink for a long time, the whole army will be strained, and then Your Majesty is sending a general to lead the troops to kill, and the Song people at that time are just a group of sick sheep to be slaughtered" Helan Tiehe Yin said fiercely
"Okay, just act according to the plan of the national teacher, and come to announce the governor of Yipintang to come to the audience as soon as possible"
