"The army of the Great Song Dynasty, I'm not mistaken, right?" Wei Mingyu is looking at the army that is approaching quickly in the distance, his face is full of incredible expressions, judging from the banner in the distance, the other party is the army of the Great Song Dynasty, although Xi'an Prefecture is the border city of Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty, but because the Great Song Dynasty has been on the defensive all these years and has never taken the initiative to attack, so Wei Mingyu Zheng never thought that the army of the Great Song Dynasty would appear here.

In fact, not only is it famous, but the Xixia people on the head of the city go up to the generals and down to the small soldiers, and they didn't expect the army of the Great Song Dynasty to appear here, they have always been to attack the Great Song Dynasty, but the Great Song army has never been able to step into the land of the Western Xia.

"Quick! Tell the army in the city to go to the top of the city to defend! Although Wei Mingyuzheng was shocked, he was the first to come to his senses, and hurriedly shouted at the moment, and then began to command the soldiers at the head of the city to prepare for defense, he was able to sit in his current position from a broken nobleman, naturally not only by seeing the wind and making the rudder, in fact, his talent was no worse than anyone else, and soon the city defense was arranged in an orderly manner, and the army that received the order in the city also immediately rushed to the city and was ready to face the battle.

When Wei Mingyu thought about it, the Song army on the opposite side suddenly appeared in Xi'an Prefecture, and he must have wanted to attack them by surprise, and captured Xi'an Prefecture when he was not ready in the city, but what he didn't expect was that although this Song army was menacing, it stopped at a distance of a few hundred steps from the city wall, and then those Song troops began to sit down to drink water and eat, without the slightest intention of attacking them, which made Wei Mingyuzheng and the Xixia people at the head of the city very surprised, and they couldn't understand what these Song people were going to do.

In this way, nearly half an hour later, the Song people outside the city gate finished eating and drinking, but at this time, they saw that the Song army in front of them suddenly retreated, but some of them stayed, and only then did Wei Mingyuzheng find out. There are countless strange weapons hidden behind those Song troops, which look like bed crossbows, but there is a big difference, and they are all wound, which makes Wei Mingyuzheng also scolded angrily, and those Song soldiers were eating and drinking in front of the battle just now. On the one hand, it is to paralyze them, and on the other hand, it is also to block their view so that they do not find this weapon.

Before Wei Mingyu could figure out what kind of weapons those were, he only heard a neat roar from the other party's Song army, and then saw those strange weapons with thousands of them fired together, and countless black ball-like things flew towards the city, which made Wei Mingyu a little strange, because this weapon looked like a bed crossbow, but all the crossbows shot from the bed crossbow were crossbow arrows. Only a catapult shoots such a ball, but it is much heavier than a bed crossbow.

But now is not the time to dwell on these, for the flying balls, Wei Mingyu instinctively thought that they were stone bullets or mud bombs similar to stone throwers, which would shatter and hurt people after they landed, but ordinary shields could block them, and look at the direction in which those balls were flying. It doesn't seem like much can fall on the city.

However, this time, Wei Mingyu guessed wrong, those flying balls were not as simple as stone bullets. I saw that these balls flew to the top of the city, and before they fell, suddenly there was an explosion with a "boom", and its momentum was like thunder, and as the first explosion began, the continuous explosion sound was endless. Many of the Tangut people at the head of the city had no defenses at all, and they were blown apart at once, even if they held a shield in their hands, it was useless, no matter what kind of shield they were like paper paste in this explosion.

"This ...... This...... What kind of weapon is this? Wei Mingyu was looking at the countless dead and wounded soldiers on the city, and he was shocked for a while. He never thought that there would be such a weapon in the Great Song Army, could it be that the Song Army finally made it? Otherwise, in the battle of Sanchuanzhai last year, if the Song army had such weapons, they would have been defeated long ago.

Even the main general of Wei Mingyuzheng was frightened stupid by the power of the ballista, not to mention those ordinary Western Xia soldiers, and the Xixia people are the same as the Liao people, Buddhism is prevalent in the country, these ethnic minorities do not have their own cultural heritage, and naturally there is not much resistance to religion, so most of the Western Xia people and Liao people are very superstitious, and when they see the cannonball explode, it is like thunder, which makes many of them think that it is a punishment from heaven, and for a time many Xixia people actually knelt down at the head of the city and trembled, He also turned a blind eye to his comrades who were killed by the explosion, and the whole scene looked bloody and weird.

After a few rounds of volleys, the walls of Xi'an Prefecture were full of stumps of the Xixia people who were killed, Wei Mingyu Zheng found that the Song people's attack stopped, and just wanted to eat and drink the Xixia soldiers stood up to defend, but then he heard a huge explosion under his feet, and the entire city gate tower was shaken violently, and then saw the other Song army shouting "The city gate is broken", and then countless Song troops poured in like a flood.

Wei Mingyu Zheng and the Xixia soldiers at the head of the city heard that the city gate was broken, all of them turned pale, and then rushed to the city wall to look down, and found that the location of the city gate hole had been a mess, and a lot of broken wood was scattered all over the place, it seems that the city gate has indeed been broken, and I don't know how the Song army destroyed the heavy city gate like this?

"Quick! Go down to the city to block the Song army! Wei Mingyuzheng was lucky, he was not injured, and his reaction was very fast, and he immediately ordered the soldiers at the head of the city to defend the city gate, but the soldiers at the head of the city had been blown up by the Great Song army, and there was a roar in his ears, and he couldn't hear what he was shouting at all, so there were few responders.

Just when the Xixia people at the head of the city were in chaos, the Great Song army on the opposite side was excited, among which Zhao Ji and Yang Wenguang held binoculars to look at the situation on the opposite side of the city, and their faces also showed excited looks, especially when they saw that the Song army rushing in front had rushed into the city gate and fought with the Xixia people at the city gate, the two were even more excited.

"Boom Boom Boom~" With a series of explosions at the city gate, this explosion sound was much smaller than the previous ballista shells, Zhao Ji and Yang Wenguang both knew that this was the Song army in front of them was already using grenades to clear the enemy, when they turned the telescope, they found that the city gate was filled with gunsmoke, and even they could hear the screams of the Western Xia people.

With the use of grenades, the obstacles at the city gate were quickly cleared, and then I saw that the Song army blocked at the city gate suddenly became smooth, and one team after another entered the city of Xi'an, so that Yang Wenguang couldn't help laughing and said: "The overall situation has been decided, Xi'an Prefecture is our Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Although Zhao Ji didn't know much about the art of war, he had been in the army for so long, and he also knew that in a siege battle, as long as he could break the opponent's city gate and attack the vanguard troops, then the side defending the city would almost lose the ability to resist, which was why Yang Wenguang was so excited.

In fact, it is true, the city gate is broken, it has a huge psychological impact on the Xixia people who defend the city, and the city wall that was originally regarded as a barrier is now no longer of any use, plus the defenders in the city suffered heavy losses last year, and now it has not been replenished, and because of the death of Manba, the military spirit has already been shaken, so the Great Song army almost did not take much effort to rush into the city, and the remaining Western Xia people either died or fled, and the entire Xi'an Prefecture fell into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty very lightly.

After another day of sweeping, the entire city of Xi'an Prefecture has been cleaned up, in addition to the army killed and fled, the entire Xi'an Prefecture nearly 30,000 defenders were captured half of the capture, but it is a pity that the ambitious Wei Mingyuzheng took advantage of the opportunity of the Song army entering the city, the whole city was in chaos and fled, which made Zhao Ji and Yang Wenguang a little regretful.

After the city was cleaned up, Zhao Ji and Yang Wenguang entered the city, after all, their identities were different, and they were tied to the safety of the entire army, so naturally they couldn't rush and kill in front of the battle like ordinary generals, and even had to maintain absolute safety.

Although Xi'an is a border city, it used to be the capital of the Xixia people, so the city is also quite prosperous, of course, it can not be compared with Kaifeng, the residents in the city are mainly Han people, after all, whether it is the Western Xia or the Liao State, the domestic Han people account for the vast majority, in addition, there are a lot of party and Tubo people in the city of Xi'an, but whether it is the Han people or the party people, they are all Xixia people for the Great Song Dynasty, plus the Western Xia has committed crimes against the Great Song Dynasty for many years, Therefore, the army of the Great Song Dynasty did not show any politeness to these Tangut people, and the entire Xi'an Prefecture had already been subject to military control, and there were no pedestrians on the streets.

Zhao Ji and Yang Wenguang rode into the city, and went straight to the capital of Wei Mingyuzheng, speaking of which although Wei Mingyu Zheng escaped, but the prisoner cars on his house did not come and transport away, so that Manba's family and his cronies also fell into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, and when Zhao Ji received the news yesterday, he immediately had a good idea.

"Your Highness, have you really decided to do this?" The two of them came to the gate of the Metropolitan Mansion, but at this time, Yang Wenguang asked with some embarrassment, although Zhao Ji's idea was good, but if something went wrong, it might cause some unpredictable variables in their plan to destroy the summer.

"Old general, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us, if it succeeds, we will spend a lot less effort, and the army will reduce a lot of casualties, and it is even possible to go straight to Xingqing Mansion, so I think this risk is worth trying." Zhao Ji also showed a resolute expression on his face and said, he really doesn't know much about fighting, but when it comes to playing with politics, he is very confident, if those family members and subordinates make good use of it, they can definitely bring them unexpected gains!
