Chapter 043: Losing both
The Western Xia soldiers had already begun to attack, and the shouts of killing outside the city were loud, and the large army rushed towards Yongle City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Shen Kuo was overjoyed at this moment, he immediately ordered to defend the city, and suddenly the fire on the city was bright, not on fire but with lanterns and torches that illuminated Yongle City like day. Immediately after an order, arrows rained down, not only ordinary arrow rain, but also rockets with meteor fire, shooting towards the Xixia soldiers who rushed to the city.
One by one, the Western Xia soldiers fell, and those in front fell and those in the back rushed up. The Western Xia soldiers took the ladder and threw the hook to try to rush up to the city, but the Song army, which had been prepared, rolled wood and stones and smashed them down, and soon the corpses of the Western Xia soldiers under the city were piled up into a hill.
The more he looked at it, the more anxious he became, and the war drums beat and shouted to kill the heavens, but he couldn't help the newly built Yongle City. Du Luo withdrew from the front: "Oh no, General, the city gate has not been opened, will it be that the prince has not succeeded?" The Song army was very well prepared, and now it is impossible to rush forward at all. Thousands of troops have already been damaged in front! ”
"Rush again!" If you are not reconciled, can a small Yongle City withstand the impact of the 50,000 troops of Western Xia?
He underestimated Shen Kuo too much, for Shen Kuo, he had long known that this place could only be defended, and as long as he could hold it, he would have a chance to fight back. The soldiers and archers in the city changed batch after batch, and there were constantly reserve troops sending weapons and stones to the city.
How to fight this battle, the Western Xia army is like a moth to a fire, a batch of them are destroyed, and when the day arrives, the city is already full of corpses. The air was filled with the smell of the gunpowder arrows, the smell of people being burned, and the smell of charcoal tar burning in torches. At this time, the reckless Meng finally gave up, but the Western Xia soldiers also lost more than 10,000.
The loss was not only the number of Western Xia soldiers, but also the morale of the Western Xia soldiers, those who rushed through the city were wounded, and those who did not rush through the city looked at the rows of people in front of them falling, and they no longer had the courage to rush to the city. Back to camp? If the Song army rushes out of the city at this time, the Western Xia soldiers will undoubtedly be defeated, and they have no choice but to announce that they will withdraw after thinking about it! The Western Xia rear team changed to the front team and retreated to the northwest.
After retreating for more than ten miles, there were bursts of fire in the front, accompanied by the sound of explosions: "Oh no, the Song army has arranged an ambush, and there are thunderstorms in front of it, and if you step on it, you will fly." The soldier came back and reported in a panic.
Shocked in his heart, he was just about to announce his retreat to the southwest, when he suddenly heard the sound of drums behind him, and the sound came from Yongle City.
"There is an interception in front and a chasing soldier in the back, what should the general do?" Duro's horse leaped in front of the deceitful man.
"The Song army is out of the city?" Gang Meng is extremely calm, and he can only fight to the death at this time. "Stand by and come! Find out the strength of the pursuers! ”
It didn't take much time to send news that the Song army was chasing more than 10,000 or 20,000 people! "Hahaha! When the opportunity comes, the 70,000 cavalry of the Song army is only 10,000 or 20,000, and the cavalry of my Xixia soldiers is 30,000, and the damage is not big at present, kill back! Kill him and don't leave a piece of horse! ”
There must be a reason why Wang Fang did not let the Song army chase the Western Xia soldiers, one of which is of course to preserve Liang Yiqi's strength, and another reason is that the commander who led the army is reckless.
In the past ten years, there have been many masters in Western Xia, and the masters of the folk have naturally been incorporated by the Liang army, but there have also been a lot of generals, such as this one who is a fool, he was the first imperial guard, and later led the troops to fight and made a lot of achievements. During the period of the Western Xia Liao Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty, the strength of the Song army was the weakest, and the strength of the cavalry was also the weakest. If the two armies are opposite, the difference in strength is huge, not to mention that the 70,000 Song army is 170,000, and it may not be able to withstand the 50,000 soldiers of Western Xia.
However, the Song army did not listen to the king, and saw that the Western Xia had withdrawn its troops, and Xu Xi, who was watching the battle on the city wall, ordered to go out of the city to pursue the Western Xia soldiers.
Shen Kuo disagreed, but Li Shunju spoke: "Chase!" Please Shen Jingluo order, I will fight with Xu Zhishi! ”
Xu Xi hated in his heart, what was this Li Shunju still pulling himself for. Shen Kuo saw that Li Shunju said resolutely, and his heart moved. Although Li Shunju thought that it was wrong to build Yongle City, Li Shunju never agreed to withdraw his troops according to Wang's words. For Li Shunju, this may be the only chance to hunt down the Western Xia soldiers.
Even if Shen Kuo didn't agree again, looking at the results in front of him, Shen Kuo was slightly moved.
But Shen Kuo, Li Shunju and Xu Xi didn't expect that the Western Xia army, which had almost no way to retreat, counterattacked so quickly, whether it was horsepower, physical strength or the Western Xia army did not have the last fight, the impact on the Song army was too great, and soon the Song army's chasing team was scattered, and a part of the Western Xia army killed the red eye, and Du Luo rushed to the gate of Yongle City with a team of Western Xia soldiers.
Xu Xi was frightened, but Li Shunju came to his senses, and he shouted at Xu Xi: "Retreat!" He shouted as he led his troops to resist. Xu Xi couldn't run in the battle, but he was very fast, and he turned around and ran back with some of the soldiers, and as soon as he entered the city, he shouted: "Close the city gate, close the city gate!" ”
Seeing that the Western Xia army was about to rush back, the soldiers hurriedly closed the city gate. The figure of the Song army was scattered under the impact of the Western Xia army, and Shen Kuo saw with his own eyes that Li Shunju did not come back in the city, and he sighed in his heart, this regret and hatred, regret that he did not listen to the persuasion of the king, and regret that he did not insist on stopping Li Shunju again.
At dawn, in the distance was the camp of the Western Xia army, and the Song army killed 30,000 enemies and lost 20,000 on this night.
The only winners, Wang Pan and Liang Yi, sat and waited for the most favorable result. At this time, everyone in the Hengshan cottage was beaming, and Wei Mingchengsi exclaimed: "The king is very accurate, and Wang Duo's explosives are very powerful, and no one needs to take action, as soon as the soldier steps on it, it will explode with a bang." ”
Wang Duo waved his hand and said modestly: "Where I am powerful, this is all the king's proposal." The king said, "Why is this thing here?" Oh yes, it's called mines! ”
"Mines, good name!"
"The king has arrived!" The voice of the soldier came from the door of the council chamber, and the chamber fell silent. Wang Bi and Liang Yiqi walked in from outside, and everyone hurriedly got up to greet them.
Sha Shiyan greeted him: "King, lord! ”
The king walked to the middle and sat down and greeted: "Usual! ”
The people in the hall were stunned at this greeting, this name had disappeared in Western Xia for more than ten years, and even Liang Yiqi looked around nervously looking for it. Some people in the Liang army know about Manchang, and some old people in the Salt Gang even know. Even Manchang himself was stunned, and he shouted, "Here!" "Stand up.
Everyone's eyes were forgotten, this man was not good-looking, with dark skin and vicissitudes of life, and he wore a hat on his head, which he had been like since he came, and did not attract anyone's attention in the slightest. I can't see the demeanor of the generals of the year at all.
Liang Yiqi walked in front of Manchang: "You? You're the general of the man?! ”
"It's me!"
Wei Mingcheng Si also said: "That's right, he is General Manchang!" ”
Everyone exclaimed, could this middle-aged man who was not good-looking be the man who shook the Man's father and son in Western Xia back then? The elders of the Salt Gang knew what happened back then, and looked at it more carefully.
Liang Yiqi stepped forward and grabbed Manchang's hands tightly: "Are you really General Man?!" ”
Without saying a word, he nodded, then walked outside the chamber and removed a spear from the weapon rack, and everyone followed. Throwing the hat at a time, the spear shook and a set of Man's marksmanship was displayed.
Some of the people of the Salt Gang exclaimed: "That's right, it's General Man!" ”
After finishing a set of marksmanship, he walked in front of everyone casually: "The extra elder of the Salt Gang, if you know me, you should remember that in the first battle of Sanchuankou, my father and son were framed, and later the heavy snow blocked the heavy snow's journey, and Cao Tian, who was not ordered by the army, chased and killed everyone. Thanks to the relief of King Zhennan in the temple, the remains of the emperor and his father were able to return to Xixia for burial! ”
Elder Wu walked out of the crowd and rubbed his eyes: "Indeed, this is indeed General Man, why have we just looked familiar for so long, but we didn't think of these at all?" ”
"Then do you still recognize King Zhennan?"
Elder Wu shook his head: "It's been so many years, and at that time, we were so far away from the King of Zhennan, we must not be able to recognize each other." ”
Wang Bei coughed and said, "Okay, it's good that everyone knows General Man, General Man wants to tell you something important today!" He said and glanced at Liang Yiqi.
All of this was discussed in advance, and the usual appearance was to prove Liang Yikui's identity, of course, this is just appropriate processing on the basis of facts, and the momentum will be bigger.
He arched his hand to everyone: "Everyone, there is no place for me in Western Xia, but I am luckier than you, because of the favor of the king of Zhennan." After the murder of King Zhennan, I have been incognito, and today I can loudly announce that I am Manchang, and I will use my identity as Manchang. ”
"Good!" Everyone cheered and waved their hands to signal everyone to be quiet: "I haven't finished my words yet, for so many years, there are many people who are as unidentified as me, such as you!" is obviously a soldier of Western Xia, but he has to be a bandit and a bandit is not at peace, this is still a trivial matter. What's even more important is that the biological son of Emperor Li Liangzuo back then was raised by others and has not been justified so far! ”
"Who!" Everyone started talking, and some people who had heard the rumors outside looked at Liang Yiqi.
Wang next to a frown: "General Man, are you talking about Lord Liang?" ”
"Exactly, I heard my father say in person that Lord Liang is not the biological son of the Prime Minister. Back then, for the sake of his queen mother and Li Bingchang's crown prince, Liang Luoyao secretly ordered Fang Dang to strictly control the emperor's favored concubines. But in the end, the emperor still has a dragon species, and this is the Liang prince in front of you. For so many years, the Liang family has been in power, and how many families have been ruined, and everyone who has been harmed has difficulty returning to their families and the country is difficult to repay. This time, in order to harm Liang Wangye, she actually asked Liang Wangye to pretend to be the son of Wang Bei, but unfortunately, people are not as good as heaven...... There is also an important identity of a person, which is to be revealed now, and there is no need to be incognito from now on, he is next to the king, the king of Zhennan, who was famous all over the world back then! ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the king, and all of them grew their mouths in astonishment.
Liang Yikui stepped forward and bowed: "Dad! ”
Now everyone is even more confused, didn't they say that Liang Yikui was pretending to be the son of the king? What kind of drama is this?!
