"The city is broken..."

"The Song army has entered the city..."

As the two gates of the East City and the South City were breached, panicked shouts spread throughout the streets and alleys of Lingzhou City, and the streets were full of defeated soldiers and those nobles with some family backgrounds, who flocked to the inner city to seek the most refuge in the city.

"The city is broken!?" Wei Ming Anhui sat down dejectedly, his face instantly lost blood, and beads of sweat rolled down, "How is it possible, the emperor's army was in its prime, and it took more than a month to capture Lingzhou with an army of 100,000, and the Song army defending the city was only 5,000, impossible..."

"Lord Wang, how dare the lower officials lie about the military situation, now the east gate and the south city gate have been breached, the Song army brigade has entered the city, the Moe army is organizing soldiers and young people to build barricades to block the Xia army, now there is no movement outside the west city and the north city, and the prince has to make plans early!" Yu Hou was frightened by the hideous expression of Wei Ming An Hui, how did the usual polite gentleman become like this, he saluted again and again.

"Order Moe to block the Song army, let Sai Xun mobilize all the horses to defend the inner city, take my armor and blades, and this king will personally go to the city to supervise the battle!" Wei Ming An Hui thought for a while.

"Lord Wang, the outer city has been breached, the inner city walls are short, and there is a shortage of defense facilities, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on, so let's abandon the city!" Marquis Yu looked at the prince and scolded in his heart, it's all this time, what kind of loyal ministers and righteous people are still pretending. Taking advantage of the fact that the Song army did not complete the full encirclement, it was only right to escape and save his life.

"If you dare to say that the loser will be killed!" With the help of the two attendants, Anhui was dressed neatly, and when he heard Yu Hou's words, he said angrily.

"The prince is angry. You are a prince, how can you risk the arrow stone yourself, or go down to the official to do it for you! Seeing this, the prefect of Lingzhou hurriedly asked the Marquis Yu to step back and stepped forward to say.

"Kochifu, now is the time of life and death, how can this king abandon the country and the people!" Athena Yasui said awe-inspiringly, "Kochifu." Immediately take out the goods that are in the treasury and distribute them among the armies, and heap them with wood and grass, and pour fire oil on them. Once the inner city is also breached, it will be ignited immediately, and the grain and grass cannot be left to the Song army! ”

"Yes, the subordinate will be ordered!" The prefect sighed and said, the prince was nerd and guilty again. This is an iron-hearted co-existence with the city, but if he doesn't leave, he can't leave. According to the law of the Xia Kingdom, the chief officer was killed or captured. Everyone has to sit together, even if they flee back, it is the result of people dying and ruining their families. Come on, let's all die together!

"Report to the king. General Sai Xun has led his army to defend the city with 6,000 generals, and now a large number of tribal leaders, family members and people living in the city have gathered outside the city to take refuge in the city. At this time, a junior general in the army reported.

"Don't open the city, now is the time for them to serve the country, but they just want to protect themselves and let them fight with the Song army!" Ahui said coldly.

．．．．．．

The south gate of the city was opened, the tiger general of the loyal army and the lion general who went up to the city from the corner of the city attacked twice, repelled the Xia army on the city wall, and quickly went down to the city to chase and kill the remnants. In front of the barricade were several rows of Xia soldiers with large shields and spears forming the first line of defense, followed by soldiers armed with throwing spears, long knives, and short axes, and then there were countless archers.

"Mobilize the machine gun battalion forward, blast open the barricades, and the dragon generals and leopards will approach the inner city along the main road to complete the encirclement; The tiger and lion will clear the streets on both sides of the road and control the main road! Zhao Ren looked at it, knowing that the Xia army did not collapse because of the destruction of the city, and was able to carry out organized resistance, so he could only advance while fighting. …,

As soon as the five rapid-fire guns appeared on the street, it immediately caused a commotion in the Xia army, these things were the first time they watched them at such a close distance, this time it was no better than in the city, there was still a place to hide, at this time people on the street could not avoid it, they could only bury their bodies behind the big shield, and pray that the shells would not fall on themselves!

The two armies were only more than a hundred steps apart, hiding outside the range of other people's bows and arrows, the shotguns fired by the cannon, countless small projectiles erupted from the muzzle, like a hurricane, blowing the Xia army in the front of the way, even if the big shield in their hands was two inches thick, it could not block the iron eggs that shot out, after the smoke dissipated, the pikemen in front of the formation all became meat shields and were beaten into a sieve.

After two rounds of artillery fire, the Xia army's barricades were already piled with corpses, blood flowing all over the ground, and then the shotguns were replaced with solid bullets, how could the barricades withstand the destruction of these iron bumps, and became a place of tatters, the Xia soldiers could no longer bear this naked slaughter, the formation collapsed, and the dragon generals and hussars who had been waiting impatiently here came out of the sheath to chase and kill the routs along the street, and approached the inner city. At this time, the tiger general and the lion general had already made a detour to both sides, controlled the entire block, and began to clear the remnants of the Xia army...

Besides, Yao Gu led the army to rush into the east gate, and the situation they faced was almost the same as that of the loyal army, after the east gate was attacked, the Xia army reinforcements arrived immediately, and after being repelled by the Xuanfeng battalion, they quickly built a barricade and still resisted again. Seeing that the Xia army was determined to resist, Yao Gu ordered the vanguard to launch a surprise attack, wanting to break the Xia army's defense in one fell swoop, in the afterglow, the two sides used swords and spears to start hand-to-hand combat, but as a result, the vanguard was quickly overwhelmed by the Xia army that was constantly arriving and was completely annihilated.

Yao Gu was shocked, only then did he realize that the resistance of the Xia army was not as easy as he imagined, and immediately sent a cavalry army to charge for the front, intending to open the way for the follow-up troops. Although it is in the northwest, the horses in the Shaanxi army are not so rich, and the cavalry is all elite in the army, and they are all fierce men. But the eastern part of the city was a residential area for civilians, merchants, travelers, and soldiers, and the streets were so narrow that the cavalry had to march in columns, and along the way they were constantly attacked from rooftops and windows, and stones, rubble, and arrows flew in from all directions.

When these cavalry finally managed to kill a clearing, the residents in groups rushed out of the alleys and narrow streets with knives and axes, and joined the Xia soldiers into battle. Speaking of the Jingyuan army, it is unlucky, most of the people living here are from the Dangxiang clan, among which the family members who live near the barracks are family members, and their families have died in this battle, this time they can find a place for revenge, and they are more brave than the soldiers. Under the siege of the joint efforts of the army and the people, the cavalry of the Jingyuan Army was unlucky, and wanted to run, but could not run; Wanting to kill, there are people everywhere, and they can't be guarded, they are constantly pulled off their horses and die under sticks.

The fierce battle continued until nightfall, and the Jingyuan army launched several attacks and were repulsed, and the sky was getting dark, and the narrow streets were shrouded in shadows, and from those dark doors, windows, or passageways, deadly arrows could be fired at any moment. And the top of the head is not safe, Xia Jun smashed all kinds of things that can be used as weapons at them, bricks and stones, tables, chairs and benches falling from the sky are so bad at this time, the most afraid is those boiling oil and boiling water, pouring on the body is the skin and flesh, the pain is unbearable... In order to circumvent these streets and barricades, the Jingyuan army had to fight house by house.

Although Yao Gu personally stepped forward to supervise the battle, the progress was still slow, and the attacks of the Song army were repelled again and again, and the morale of the soldiers and civilians defending the city was greatly boosted, and they launched a counterattack against them, trying to drive them out of the city. Yao Gu was shocked when he saw this, this is all his own family background, he urgently ordered to turn the attack into defense, suspend the attack, stick to the city gate, send someone to Zhao Ta for help or suspend the attack, and wait for dawn to ......fight again.

Yan Yanjun, who was responsible for sending reinforcements outside the West Gate, saw the sunset on the West Mountain, and the sound of killing in the city shook the sky, but the West Gate was unusually calm, that is, he did not see the Xia army fleeing, nor did he see the friendly army open the door, Liu Yanqing couldn't help but be anxious, and frequently sent scouts to the front of the city to investigate, but he was repeatedly disappointed, seeing that the credit of the hand was not related to himself, he couldn't help but scold Zhao Ta in his heart for being eccentric, they were promoted to make a fortune, and let themselves sit on the cold bench to watch the white play.

"General Qiyu, the city gate is open, and a large number of people are out of the city!" Just when Liu Yanqing was distressed, the scout Pegasus came to report.

"Troops into the city!" Liu Yanqing was naturally overjoyed, and urgently ordered the whole army to attack, although it was a little late, but he could drink some soup after all!

It was no one else who opened the west gate, it was Gao Xiang, the prefect of Lingzhou, he was a Han man, twenty years ago he was the lord of a city on the border of Song and Xia, and later surrendered to the city, and was favored by the Liang Empress of the Xia State, and he trusted him, and actually slowly rose up. Li Qianshun was thinking about promoting Sinology, so he appointed him as the prefect of Lingzhou.

It is said that Xia Guo treats him well, but Gao Xiang knows that he is a traitor, if the army is defeated and falls into the hands of the Song army, it will be difficult to escape death, and when he sees the city, he will come alive, and he wants to persuade Wei Ming Anhui to flee together, but he dares to mention that scene, so he secretly packed up the softness and took the opportunity to pacify the people in the city and slipped out of the inner city. He was not stupid, he called the nobles who were blocked inside and outside the city, thinking that the law would not blame the people, and he would run with these people, maybe he could save his life, maybe he could also keep his official position, so he pretended to pass on the king's order, saying that he was escorting these nobles out of the city for refuge, and deceived the city gate.

Gao Xiang knew the south gate of the road, the east gate has been lost, only the north gate and the west gate have not been lost, Xicheng has been the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, the Governor's Mansion, the Jiedu Envoy and other high-level military and political organs, as well as the Xiazhou government offices are stationed, the treasury and the armory are there, of course, the most important thing is that his official office is also there, and there has been no Song army outside the West City, now it is dark, so the West Gate was selected...
