On the seventh day of July in the second year of Song Baoyuan, Zhao Lei led the Zuo Yulin Army, the Zuo Shenwu Army and the Qiang Army of 60,000 horses, followed the footsteps of the Western Xia Yuanhao army, followed by its later arrival in Gyeongju, and at this time, the Western Xia Yuanhao had bypassed Gyeongju and left more than 20,000 soldiers and horses of Renduo Baoren in Gyeongju to block the Great Song reinforcements, and he personally led 80,000 Western Xia main forces to attack Weizhou.

Not to mention the resurgence of smoke in Qing and Weizhou, Yan'an Mansion after Zhao Lei left, at this time, the war drums were also beating, and the swords and guns were huo.

On a hill next to the Yeshui River about eighty miles northwest of Yan'an Prefecture, Fan Zhongyan led his Confucian and military generals of Yan'an Prefecture to quietly observe the place where Yeli Yu was camped in the north of Yeshui River with a pair of binoculars sent by Zhao Lei when he left.

The telescope in Fan Zhongyan's hand is one of Zhao Lei's means to obtain the military intelligence of the Western Xia, this kind of telescope is also a confidential military material in the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to the Great Song Dynasty naval generals and naval commanders have this thing, Fan Zhongyan has only seen it, and has not been assigned one, but Zhao Lei is the master of the telescope, and he carries a few telescopes for playing, which just makes full use of it, breaking the invincible reputation of the Western Xia cavalry and obtaining first-hand important information about the Western Xia.

"Yeli is really leisurely! Led us here, and then just held out, didn't he know that we only had 70,000 soldiers and horses, and the rest of the soldiers and horses had already rushed to Gyeongju and Weizhou to rescue! Fan Zhongyan saw the Western Xia army that was guarding the Yeshui River, and said with a sneer.

"Yeli Yu beggar can't stick to it that is not in line with the adult's wishes! Our mission is to hold back the wild beggars. Now that the stalemate is here, isn't it just right to complete the task assigned by Lord Zhao! Jingzhou Governor Wu Ying heard Fan Zhongyan's words to himself, and said with a smile.

"Not only Lord Wu thinks so, presumably the Yeli Yuqi on the other side is also thinking so, it is estimated that the task given to him by Yuan Hao is to contain the army of our Yan'an Mansion, and to contain our 70,000 army with more than 20,000 soldiers and horses is already considered to have completed the task for Yeli Yuqi, and it is estimated that he is laughing now!" Zhao Huaide did not approve of Fan Zhongyan's plan to passively defend the ground, but he had no right to decide at all, so he could only sneer there and say sarcastically.

"Needless to say, the task of our army is to contain rather than eliminate, if Yeli Yuqi can't hold out like this, there is no need for us to fight hard with them!" Fan Zhongyan interrupted Zhao Huaide's words and continued his cautious style and said resolutely.

With Fan Zhongyan's resolute expression, Zhao Huaide sighed in his heart. Knowing that he stayed here, it was useless for a hero.

……

Weizhou is located in the upper reaches of Weishui, Xiangwu was set up in the Han Dynasty, called Longxi during the Three Kingdoms, and changed to Weizhou in the Tang Dynasty. The Song Dynasty has been called Weizhou.

The current Weizhou is the northeast gateway of Longyou, a military important place, Weizhou is lost, Fengxiang Mansion and the entire Qinfeng Road are exposed to the Western Xia sword soldiers. Its importance is no less than that of Jinmingzhai to Yan'an and White Leopard City to Western Xia, so it became the target of Yuan Hao to threaten the Great Song Dynasty peace talks and attracted the siege of the Western Xia army.

Weizhou City at sunset. The solemn and solemn scene was destroyed by the continuous war, and the three gates in the southwest and north of Weizhou were surrounded by 80,000 Western Xia troops, and only the east gate connecting Weishui was helpless to let go because there was no naval army in Western Xia.

Outside the three gates in the southwest and north of Weizhou City, the smoke of the battlefield has not yet dissipated, inside and outside the six-zhang high city wall, the corpses of Song Xia soldiers are everywhere, all kinds of blood-stained weapons are discarded in one place, and the siege weapons destroyed by the Song army in Western Xia are scattered and scattered on the ground.

This is already the third day of the Western Xia raid on Weizhou, and on the first day, there were only the siege ladders of the Western Xia army. During these three days, a large number of nearby trees were cut down, and the craftsmen captured from the Song realm in the Western Xia army continued to create siege engines, arrow carts, hanging ladders and other siege weapons, which posed a growing threat to Weizhou City.

In the Weizhou City Mansion, Cao Ping, the governor of Weizhou, looked at Han Qi and Guo Chengyou, who were leisurely opposite, with a distressed expression, and said sadly: "Two adults! More than half of the 20,000 defenders of Weizhou have suffered casualties, and the two adults have nearly 50,000 horses under their commands, so why don't they pull directly to the city, but send 3,000 people to defend the city every day! ”

"Okay, Lao Cao, don't be so anxious! Why don't you learn from General Yang Wenguang, didn't he once integrate the powerful family of Gyeongju and the young and strong people in the city to fight against the Western Xia army! Lao Cao, you can also try it! This method is good, a few days, enough for those raw dings to become. Veteran, after the war, there will be tens of thousands of good fighting troops in this Weizhou city, congratulations to Lao Cao first...... "Guo Chengyou and Cao Ping are the same age, and Cao Ping and Guo Chengyou, who were born in the first Cao family in the Northern Song Dynasty, are friends of life and death, so they are not unfamiliar with each other, and they are very good-natured.

"Yang Wenguang's lone army against the 100,000 troops of Western Xia is a megatron, but do you know the situation after the war! After the Western Xia army left, the city of Gyeongju was full of filial piety and linen, not to mention those young and strong who died in battle, that is, those who were injured and disabled, and they became invalids since then, what will they live on in the future, protecting the family and defending the country is the business of our soldiers, and letting the people in the city bear these consequences, it is already our dereliction of duty, and now the Western Xia is menacing, and the two adults can't bear to watch Weizhou become the same as Gyeongju, becoming the city of white filial piety! Cao Ping said bitterly to Han Qi and Guo Chengyou.

Cao Ping's words made Han Qi and Guo Chengyou put away their smiling faces, and after a deep sigh, Han Qi categorically shirked and said: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband!" After the war in Gyeongju, every family wore filial piety and every household wore linen, but did Lord Cao ever think about what General Yang Wenguang would become of Gyeongju today, I am afraid that even people will not be able to see it, and what do you say about wearing linen and wearing filial piety.

Only when there is a country can there be a home! Western Xia is the old enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, defeating Western Xia is what we should consider now, Lord Zhao's plan is perfect, although the defenders of Weizhou have lost more than half of them in the past three days, but the losses of the Western Xia army outside the city are definitely twice as much as our army, and the Western Xia can lose 20,000 soldiers and horses in just three days, if Yuan Hao really wants to capture Weizhou ruthlessly, I am afraid that the 80,000 troops under his command will be destroyed under the city of Weizhou, we must not destroy Lord Zhao's plan, we must attack Weizhou with the deceived Yuan Hao, so this officer and General Guo's corporal soldiers can not all go into battle, At most, it can only be increased from 3,000 to 5,000 people, and as for the other soldiers and horses, Lord Cao still has to find a way by himself! ”

As soon as Han Qi finished speaking, Guo Chengyou also put away his kind smile and said solemnly to Cao Ping: "Old Cao! Lord Zhao is the envoy of the Yongxing Military Road, since Lord Zhao has ordered, we must abide by the order, if the plan fails because of Lao Cao's selfishness, not to mention what kind of disaster the loss of Weizhou will bring to the people of Weizhou, that is, Lao Cao, your future and the fate of the Cao family, I am afraid that they will be affected, Ci is not in charge of the army! Lao Cao, think about it! ”

"Kill!" At this moment, a deafening shout of killing came from outside Weizhou City, and another round of offensive of the Western Xia army began.

"Yang Zun!" Hearing the sound of shouting and killing reaching the room, Han Qi calmly shouted loudly to the door.

"The last general!" Yang Zun, the general of the new army, soon appeared in front of Han Qi, and said with a fist salute.

"You immediately lead your soldiers and horses to guard the north gate of Weizhou, remember, you can't use the weapons of the new army, you can't wear the armor of the new army, and you must not show your face, you can only command in secret!" Han Qi calmly ordered.

"The last general understands!" Yang Zun had already experienced such a battle to defend the city, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and left, taking his men with less than 5,000 soldiers, towards the north gate, preparing to take over the defense of the north gate of Weizhou.

……

Outside the north gate of Weizhou, the general of Western Xia, Ruding Duoduo, commanded his 8,000 soldiers, carrying more than 20 siege ladders, four siege vehicles, four arrow trucks and three suspension ladders, shouting loudly and swarming towards the north gate of Weizhou.

The moat outside the city of Weizhou was filled by the Western Xia army on the first day, and the terrain of the horse and Pingchuan under the city made the elite cavalry of the Western Xia army come freely, although the cavalry could not attack the city, but their accurate cavalry and archery means made the Weizhou defenders suffer greatly.

At the head of the north gate of Weizhou, Yang Zun, who was wearing heavy armor and a mask like Di Qing, stood calmly and steadily at the head of the city, watching the siege army of the Western Xia army getting closer and closer, and waited until the enemy's front team reached the range of the Great Song crossbowmen, and shouted loudly: "The crossbowmen are ready!" Shoot the arrows! ”

With Yang Zun's order, the two thousand new army archers and five hundred crossbowmen at the head of the city suddenly let go of the bows and arrows in their hands, touch! With a muffled sound, 2,500 bows and crossbows formed a rain of arrows and shot towards the enemy troops outside the city.

Ding Ding Ding! The Xixia army, which had been prepared for a long time, raised its shield to block, and some bows and crossbows were blocked, but there were still three or four hundred bows and crossbows that passed through the shield of the Xixia army and shot into the body of the Xixia army.

The 8,000 Western Xia troops didn't care about the lives of their comrades who were killed or wounded by arrows, and still fearlessly carried all kinds of siege weapons and bravely rushed towards the city wall.

"Catapults! Get ready! Target enemy siege vehicle! Put! Seeing that the Western Xia army was getting closer and closer and had reached the attack range of the catapult at the head of the city, Yang Zun immediately gave the order for the catapult to attack.

The six catapults at the north gate of Weizhou, with Yang Zun's order, opened fire at the same time, and six hundred-pound boulders, painted with beautiful parabolas, smashed towards the siege vehicles of the Western Xia army.

Rumble! On the land outside the city of Weizhou, the boulders set off the loess all over the sky, but helplessly, the accuracy of the Great Song Catapult was too poor, and the six boulders did not hit a siege vehicle of the Western Xia army, but mistakenly hit a siege ladder and several Western Xia soldiers.

The catapult attack on the city wall was too slow, but in one round, the Western Xia army had already erected the siege ladder on the city wall, and more than 20 Western Xia soldiers had already bitten their weapons and climbed towards it, and at this time, the crossbowmen of the new army under Yang Zun only shot four rounds of bows and arrows, bringing hundreds of casualties to the Western Xia army.

The siege ladder of the Western Xia army was erected above the city head, and the siege vehicles also began to frantically hit the city gate and city wall, the arrow carts and hanging ladders began to approach the city head, and the elite cavalry of the Western Xia who had been waiting for a long time in the distance had begun to eagerly with strong bows, Yang Zun knew in his heart that the most tragic hand-to-hand combat offensive and defensive battles had finally arrived.
