Chapter 61: Bloody Revenge

After Wu Song left, I have been tossing and turning, I know that the Western Xia has not acted in the past two days, it must be that they are waiting for our army to completely lose its combat effectiveness, and although our army is still stable now, but the morale is not as high as the first war, no, I have to find some trouble for the Western Xia people, otherwise I will be beaten passively, aren't you waiting for our army to lose all its combat effectiveness, then good, I will let your army run around

"Pass on Lu Junyi, Chu Luli, Wu Yong, Zhang Qing, Yue Fei." I said loudly to the herald of the Chinese army

After about a cup of tea, several of them came one after another, "The ministers and others see the emperor, I don't know what the emperor has to call the ministers and others to come and order." Lu Junyi stepped forward and said

"Sit down."

"Your Majesty."

"Tiehu, where are Lin Chong's troops now?" I asked Tiehu bluntly

"Back to the emperor, after our army took down the three major border fortresses of Western Xia, Lin Chong gathered two hundred soldiers of Hua Wolf to go to Xiazhou through the mountains and jungles, and Yinzhou and Zuoxiang Shenyong Army Division each had a hundred-man team in action, according to Lin Chong's news, there was also a hundred-man team that had almost secretly sneaked to the vicinity of Xingqing and Dingzhou, the capital of Western Xia."

"Order Lin Chong, let that hundred-man team, just around Dingzhou and Xingqing, let me go around, whether it is a village or a market, as long as there is no threat to the Tangut people, they will continue to kill people for me, set fire everywhere, give the Tangut people, and when they are okay at night, they will put a few cannons on Dingzhou and Xingqing envoys, create a little panic for the Tangut people, and let the Tangut people redeploy those soldiers who are being mobilized to besiege us back to Xingqing to garrison, remember, you must remember to tell them not to fight, no matter where they are, they must retreat with one blow."

"Yes, the last will obey."

"Lu Junyi."

"The end will be."

"Order the three armies, close the city gates, and strictly prevent the Western Xia army from sneaking attack."

"The last will obey."

"Wu Yong, immediately send a message to all parts of our country to strictly prevent the invasion of Western Xia, Liao and Jin."

"Yes, I obey."

"Zhang Qing"

"The end will be."

"I have 3,000 light horsemen for you, and a pair of horses, and a hundred mortars, tonight you go out of the city overnight, from north to south through Jingsai Military Division, Xizhou to Minzhou, and then from east to west, through Lanzhou, Xining, and then north to Xiliangfu, through Dingzhou and back, this way I do not expect you to attack the city and plunder the property, but to order you to aim at killing people and creating chaos, the more Western Xia soldiers chasing you, the better, I need time now, I give your soldiers five hundred crossbows, one person with two sabers, fully armed with bows, fifty arrows, you are the same as Lin Chong on this road, Kill people when you see them, whether it's a village or a bazaar, as long as it's a Tangut person, you can kill them when you see them, and after a blow, no matter what the result is, you will leave immediately, do you understand what I mean? ”

"The emperor can rest assured, Weichen understands." Zhang Qing hugged his fists and bowed in reply

"Okay, before my army fully recovers its combat strength, I will rely on you and Lin Aiqing, you can arrange to set off immediately."

Zhang Qinggang left that night, and in the early morning of the second day, the Western Xia army really attacked, and the leading general was the Western Xia general...... Dividing line ......

"Captain, the front is Xingqing, the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom, let's really open fire, what if we attract a large number of Western Xia soldiers." A wolf soldier said to his captain with some concern

"Hehe, what are you afraid of, let's put two cannons and work side by side, who is still here to serve those Xixia dogs, hurry up and rest, we have to tease those Xixia dogs in circles in the middle of the night." The captain said to his soldiers

Such a scene happened in many places in Western Xia, such as this small village thirty miles outside the city of Xiazhou

"Chief, there are people in this village who are married, hehe, let's go in and see how the bride is in a while, he" The soldier said with a lewd smile

"Hmph, don't TMD all day long to know to watch the girls, don't ruin the emperor's plan, listen, we are two squads, Zhao Kun, you will take your people to the east of the village to ambush on both sides of the road, and when my side starts shelling, when they rush out, you will greet them with grenades" Li Hai said to Zhao Kun. Yes, you read that right, it was a grenade, which was a product of a between Gong Zhi and Ling Zhen unintentionally since the invention of the mortar, and because the grenade is easy to produce, it only needs to wrap the useless iron slag waste mixed with gunpowder with a grid-like thin iron plate, and leave the lead, so the officers and men of the whole army are equipped with five grenades, and the Hua Wolf soldiers are equipped with fifteen grenades per person

At about nine o'clock in the next generation, the first round of massacres began in this humble village.

The sound of mortar blasting accompanied the screams and horrors of the whole village resounded through the silent night sky, and the people scattered in all directions scurried around like headless flies, but the mortars and bows and arrows kept driving the villagers to the east, where a trap awaited them

Hearing the sound of artillery fire, the Xiazhou guard quickly leaned out of the city to see what was going on, and after confirming the direction, he turned his head and ordered his corporals: "Hurry up and send cavalry over to see what's going on." But before he could finish speaking, a cannonball exploded on the wall next to his head, and the head of the guard became as broken as a watermelon on the ground, and then, dozens of cannonballs poured down on the city of Xiazhou, and this, only lasted for a few breaths, the bombardment suddenly disappeared as if it had never appeared, and the soldiers of Western Xia looked at the debris all over the ground and the unlucky ghosts killed by the shells as if they were dreaming, Including the Western Xia general who defended the city.

And in Xingqing, Yinzhou, Xiazhou, and even the city head of the right wing Chaoshun Military Division, the same is true, the shelling that appears from time to time at night does not necessarily take away a few unlucky guys, the houses that may catch fire at any time, the people who may be slaughtered at any time, and even in Xining, which is far away from Xingqing, the entire Western Xia is all in a state of anxiety

Inside the main hall of the Western Xia Palace

"Your Majesty, quickly issue an order, order the armies from all over the country to be transferred back to Beijing to come to King Qin, the troops of the Song people have begun to carry out a tentative attack on the capital of our dynasty, their main army must not be in Hongzhou City, and also, Your Majesty will also quickly issue an order to recall General Wuzang Tianyun to wave his army, how can it be important to protect Your Majesty's safety by attacking those remnants of the Song Dynasty." Li Zaiwen, the prime minister of Western Xia, said to Emperor Li Qianshun with tears in his eyes with the Manchu civil and military forces of Western Xia

"This" looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground, Li Qianshun was so angry in his heart, Helan Tiehe's plan had just begun to be implemented, the Song Dynasty army had lost more than half of its combat strength, and the 50,000 elite cavalry that did not hide Tianyun was enough to drive the Song people out of their own land, but the performance of the ministers in front of him made Li Qianshun extremely disappointed

"Ladies and gentlemen, the ambition of the Song people and wolves, look at their actions, how many innocent people have been killed by them, can't you think about the people of my Great Xia?" Li Qianshun persuaded Chinese Wu and said

At the same time, Zhang Qing's 3,000 iron cavalry happened to pass through Xingqing, the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom, and 200 mortars were bombarded indiscriminately against the city wall of Xingqing
