Hu Yanqing their hot air balloon was the first to land, at that time he stared at the situation on the ground, now for them, one minute later to be discovered by the enemy, there is more hope for survival and victory, after all, they have no ability to resist when they are in the air, it is safer to fall to the ground. ◎Top Novel,www.

In the early hours of the morning, it is the time when a person's spirit is the most relaxed, and it is also the time when the number of people in the streets and the city is the smallest, and the Xixia soldiers in the city did not think that the enemy would come from the sky, so when Hu Yanqing and their people were about to land in the city, no one found it, until the first hot air balloon happened to land on the city, which attracted the attention of the Xixia people, but these people just began to show more horror, after all, such a behemoth suddenly fell from the sky, For the Tangut people, it was like encountering a monster.

With the landing of the first hot air balloon, other hot air balloons followed, and some people landed on the high city, but their luck was really not very good, because the city was the most heavily defended, and the number of Western Xia soldiers was also the largest.

Fortunately, there are only a few people with bad luck, most of the hot air balloons have landed in the city, and they are distributed near the east gate, Hu Yanqing is also among them, but his luck is not very good, he actually landed on top of a tall house, and there are no trees around for them to climb, let alone find a ladder, and finally Hu Yanqing They directly broke through the roof, and then jumped off the beams in the house, and the owner of this house was scared half to death.

When Hu Yanqing and they rushed to the street, there were still many hot air balloons in the sky that were falling, and according to their previous agreement, the soldiers who fell into the city should gather at the east gate of Xingqing Mansion as quickly as possible, so Hu Yanqing and they identified the direction. Immediately began to run towards the east gate, along the way encountered a lot of brothers who had just escaped from the hot air balloon, making their team like a snowball rolling bigger and bigger, and when they encountered the patrol of the Tangut people on the way, they did not dodge and killed them.

At this time, the Tangut people had also discovered that the Great Song army had descended from the sky, after experiencing the initial chaos. They finally reacted, after all, the Great Song army had used hot air balloons many times in order to observe the enemy's situation, and there were not many Western Xia people who had seen hot air balloons at that time, so these people were the first to react and immediately began to organize a counterattack.

In the face of the enemy's obstruction, all the Song troops who entered the city began to converge towards the east gate regardless of a single qiē, because they all knew that the only way to gather together and open the city gate as quickly as possible. They will have a glimmer of life, otherwise they can only wait to be slowly exterminated by the Tanguts.

Hu Yanqing gathered nearly three hundred people along the way, some of them were his old subordinates, but more of them were scattered Song troops, but these people had been trained in advance, and after entering the city, they would obey the orders of any superiors, Hu Yanqing, as the head of the capital, naturally had the power to order them. What's more, since the last time he tortured and killed prisoners of war, he has also made a lot of fame in the army. Even if he is a level head, he is very convinced by him.

The team of three hundred people is already a lot of strength, and the place where they landed was not far from the east gate, so after rushing all the way, they quickly arrived at the east gate, but at this time, the Western Xia people also understood what these Song troops who fell from the sky were going to do. Many Western Xia generals also led people to the east gate, but unfortunately because of limited time, now the east gate only gathered less than 1,000 Western Xia soldiers.

The three hundred men led by Hu Yanqing were the first to reach the east gate, and although the Western Xia soldiers in front of the city gate were three times larger than his own side, he still did not give the order to attack without any hesitation. The other Great Song soldiers did not show the slightest fear, but showed cruel expressions, only to see them take out grenades from the satchels on their waists one by one, light the fuses and throw them over.

The Tangut people had already learned the power of grenades before, and when they saw that the Song army on the opposite side was about to throw the grenade again, they all showed frightened expressions, and some calmly immediately began to shoot arrows, but there were many houses and buildings in front of the east gate, Hu Yanqing They hid behind these buildings, and they were not afraid of the other party's bow and arrow at all, but those Tangut people who were guarding the city gate had nowhere to hide, and as a result, they were thrown over with a grenade and screamed again and again.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to fight with the Western Xia people, Hu Yanqing took out a signal flare from his body, in fact, this thing is a special firework, I saw that he inserted the bamboo stick at the end on the ground and lit the fuse, and as a result, the signal flare flew into the air with a sharp stabbing sound, and then exploded a red light with a "bang", which was actually a message to other Song soldiers in the city, indicating that they had arrived at the east gate, and began to fight for the control of the city gate, so that they could hurry up and help.

As soon as the signal flare came out, the other Song troops in the city were also in a state of shock, some of the assembled Song troops began to speed up towards the east gate, and some of the scattered and desperate Song troops roared angrily and began to desperately want to escape, as long as they could escape from the encirclement of the Tanguts, then maybe they could hold on until the moment when the army entered the city.

Less than a quarter of an hour from the signal flare, two more Song armies rushed to the city gate, they also played the same signal flare as Hu Yanqing, and then began to storm the Xixia army in front of the city gate, at this time the Song army has reached seven or eight hundred people, not much less than the Xixia people in number, plus they are equipped with a large number of firearms, and all of them are the elite of the Song army, so they quickly killed the Xixia army in front of the city gate and fled.

"Hahahaha~, open the city gate!" When Hu Yanqing saw this, he immediately shouted excitedly, and with his order, his soldiers immediately opened the bolt of the city gate, and then opened the heavy city gate. The city gate of the east gate has two layers, Hu Yanqing they opened only the gate of the urn city, only through the urn city can you see the real city gate, this city gate is also guarded by the Western Xia army in front of the city gate, but the number is not much.

At the moment, Hu Yanqing and their soldiers are divided into two ways, one of which goes straight to the real city gate, and the other road goes up the city head along the wall of the urn city, and there is also the army of the Xixia people on the city head, but now it is also a mess, just now many people rushed to the city to defend the city gate, but they were killed by Hu Yanqing, and most of the remaining people have no fighting spirit, only resisted for a moment and were killed by Hu Yanqing again, and the city head temporarily fell into the hands of the Song army, but then they had to face the counterattack of the Xixia people, after all, the city walls were all connected, the other defenders on the walls will surely arrive soon.

The Song army below has also passed through the empty urn city to the city gate at this time, the Western Xia army guarding the city gate is only five hundred, but their number is small, but they are the elite of the Western Xia, before the Song army killed, they shot a bow and arrow, so that the Song army paid a lot of casualties, but the Song army did not show weakness, some people advanced against the shield or plank picked up on the road, and then threw the grenade in their hands into the Western Xia army, as a result, each grenade explosion caused great confusion among the Western Xia people, and the shooting of the bow and arrow was also affected.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the general of the Song army who commanded the battle below gave an order, and the whole army launched a decisive charge again, and at the same time, the grenades in their hands were thrown out as if they didn't want money, and as a result, the flesh and blood of the Xixia people on the opposite side were blown away, and after they rushed into the city gate, the two sides started a brutal hand-to-hand fight, and some Song troops took the opportunity to run to prepare to open the city gate.

The city gate of Xingqing Mansion is very tall and heavy, and it is not easy to open it, but at this time the Song army has taken the advantage, and those Xixia people who guard the city gate may flee to death, which also allows more Song troops to participate in the action of opening the door, so when the morning sun in the east shows half of its face, the heavy east gate is finally slowly opened, and at the same time, the city tower on the city gate is also controlled by Hu Yanqing, and the suspension bridge on the moat in front of the city gate is finally slowly lowered.

Yang Wenguang and other Great Song generals outside the city were anxious for a long time, although the light was dim, they kept holding binoculars to look at the Xingqing Mansion City in front of them, they had been preparing for this plan for so long, if it failed, it would definitely cause them a big blow.

When the shouting and killing sound in the city sounded, Yang Wenguang's heart was more like being raised, and some people walked around anxiously, until the sound of explosion and fighting also appeared in the city gate cave of the east gate, Yang Wenguang and they finally showed joy, because this showed that the Song army in the city had killed in front of the city gate, and the whole plan had been successful for most of it.

When the east gate slowly opened, Yang Wenguang, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately shouted: "Rush!" Capture Li Liangzuo alive! ”

"Capture Li Liangzuo alive!" Yang Wenguang's orders were immediately passed down layer by layer, and at the same time, a cavalry as the vanguard had rushed out like sharp arrows, although the cavalry was not conducive to the siege of the city, and it was also very restricted in the city, it was difficult to give full play to the strength of the cavalry, but the strength of the airborne troops in the city was weak, and they could be wiped out by the counterattacking Western Xia army at any time, so they could enter the city earlier, and the pressure on Hu Yanqing and them would be less.

The number of cavalry in the Song army is not much, this time only 2,000 people were arranged as the vanguard, they were the first to rush across the drawbridge to kill into the city, to meet Hu Yanqing and others, and at the same time strengthen the control of the city gate, and then Yang Wenguang and others commanded 70,000 troops poured in, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty gushed out from the east gate like a flood, along the streets of Xingqing Mansion to the palace, as long as Li Liangzuo can be killed or captured by the letter, then the Western Xia will no longer have a chance to turn over, for a time the entire Xingqing Mansion is the Song army shouted "capture Li Liangzuo alive" Voices.
