"Your Majesty, the last general will escort you out, the artillery of the Song people is too powerful, we can't stop them for too long," Wei Mubai, the general of the Western Xia and the chief general of the Lanzhou garrison, said to Li Qianshun

"No, I want to cheer for my soldiers in Great Xia here, Aiqing quickly ascends the tower to command our military and civilians to resist foreign humiliation." Li Qianshun said proudly

"Your Majesty, let's listen to General Weimu, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood, Your Majesty, colleagues, hurry up and persuade the Emperor." Li Zaiwen, the prime minister of Western Xia, once again jumped out to persuade Emperor Xia to evacuate

"You! Li Zaiwen, are you the prime minister of my Western Xia, how can you say something about the enemy's ambition and destroy your own prestige, you useless man, you are always messing with our army's heart at critical moments, since you are bent on escaping, what is the use of me leaving you, General Weimu, kill this scum who has brought disaster to the country and the people for me. Li Qianshun listened to Li Zaiwen's words, and ordered Wei Mubai angrily, and Wei Mubai had long hated this prime minister who was greedy for life and afraid of death and betrayed the country for glory, he didn't say a word, he directly pulled out his waist knife, and a knife resulted in Li Zaiwen's life

Looking at the dead Li Zaiwen and the ministers who were trembling with fright, Li Qianshun felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and he sighed and said to Wei Mubai: "Aiqing, hurry up to the city wall, and tell the soldiers and the people that I am here to cheer for them." ”

"Please rest assured, the city is here, the people are gone, the city is also" Wei Mubai's eyes were red, he said with both hands to Li Qianshun, and then twisted the city wall, but unfortunately, his bravery will never be the opponent of artillery

"Herald, herald, artillery, blow open the gates for me." I said to the herald

With a volley of artillery, Lanzhou City opened its fragile chest to our Great Song cavalry defenselessly

"Kill!" The moment the city gate was blown open, Yang Zhihu roared, and led his 10,000 vanguard troops into Lanzhou City like a cage tiger

"Stop them, quick, pikemen, giant shieldmen, drive them out, roll the wood, and smash me." When he saw that the city gate was blown open, he was immediately shocked, but as the current supreme commander in the army, Wei Mubai quickly calmed down and issued the most effective counterattack command at the first time

"Shell the battlements of the city gates to support the assault cavalry." Seeing Yang Zhi leading the army into Lanzhou, I immediately gave another order to the artillery, but I completely underestimated the determination of the Lanzhou defenders to defend the city, and under the rain of falling shells and crossbow arrows, the rolling wood and stones were still falling down

"Mortars approach, target the defenders of the castle tower" I saw the soldiers who were constantly rushing into the city falling, and my heart was like a knife, and I commanded the herald fiercely

At the same time, the other three gates of Lanzhou were also blasted open by artillery at the same time, and the army poured into Lanzhou City like a tide

"Your Majesty, you quickly retreat, the last general will immediately order the soldiers to take you out, as long as you reach the Yumen Pass, General Nori Masao will definitely comfort Your Majesty." Wei Mubai saw that it was impossible to do it, and immediately rushed down the city tower and said to Emperor Xia Li Qianshun

"Aiqing, won't you kill with me?" Li Qianshun grabbed Wei Mubai's arm and asked

"Your Majesty, the minister said that he swore to live and die with Lanzhou." Wei Mubai said to Li Qianshun, and then turned his head and instructed his lieutenant generals, "Take the emperor to kill him, remember not to stop all the way, and go straight to Yumen Pass to find General Yeli Zhengnan." ”

"The last will obey." The deputy general had tears in his eyes, hugged his fist at Wei Mubai, set up Li Qianshun and rode away

Watching Li Qianshun leave, Wei Mubai pulled out the war knife at his waist and joined the battle group guarding Lanzhou with his own soldiers. And at this moment, the soldiers in Lanzhou City are killing people all the time, and they are being killed every moment. In ancient China, the armor of the Song Dynasty army can be said to be the best of all dynasties, especially the heavy infantry, which can almost be said to be armed to the teeth, which provides the greatest protection for the soldiers. Even so, the madness of the Western Xia army was completely beyond my imagination, and the army that rushed into the city was completely blocked near the city gate, and there were signs of being forced back

"Guan Sheng, Zhang Qing, quickly support Yang Zhi."

"The last will obey."

The war knife in his hand kept waving, and with each slash, a life would dissipate, and Lanzhou City was completely dyed red. The neighing of the war horse, the roar of the soldiers, the knight on horseback constantly kicking and urging the war horse under his crotch, with the momentum of the war horse, desperately chopping the enemies around, and the soldier holding the spear in his hand, and constantly stabbing the opponent's horse and the knight on the horse, the bright red blood, constantly flowing, intersecting, like a purgatory-like scene, can be seen everywhere in this Lanzhou city.

"Your Majesty, I just received the news that Emperor Li Gan of Western Xia broke through the siege through the West Gate." Iron Tiger hurriedly walked over and reported to me

"How many people broke out." I asked

"Back to the emperor, there are only more than 300 of them who broke through." Tiehu said

"Order Zhang Qing to ask him to bring Li Qianshun's head to me, and go immediately." I am extremely angry in my heart, for Li Qianshun's life and death, I am very concerned, as long as he dies, the entire Western Xia will be completely defeated, but if he does not die, then this war will have to continue, and the continuation of the war also means that people will continue to die, and the difficulty of post-war pacification, social governance and economic recovery will increase infinitely

"Herald, pass the order, kill all the people in Lanzhou, and the morning after tomorrow, I will march westward."

"Order"

Looking at the burning Lanzhou City, I seemed to have a little remorse in my heart, thinking of Wei Mubai's resolute eyes, I began to entangle whether this was right or wrong, although the crazy slaughter, plunder and destruction can greatly alleviate the depression and distortion caused by the war in the hearts of the soldiers, which is what later generations called war depression syndrome, but this will also make the soldiers extremely tyrannical, which makes my mood extremely conflicted
