The retreat of Qinzhou is a terrible disaster for the people, leaving the familiar homeland, holding the elderly parents, carrying the young children in the burden, a chicken and bus full of the family's only food, all the way, crying all the way, the crops in the field have been spit ears, the harvest is imminent, seeing the officials brutally destroy those crops, those farmers and peasant women are all crying......

"Ruined, cleanly and completely ruined! I want the Tangut people to be unable to find a piece of tile to cover themselves in Qinzhou, a mouthful of water to drink, and a little food to eat......"

Yun Zheng looked at the people who had left their hometowns and felt gloomy, but the orders in his mouth were neat and neat, without the slightest hesitation, at this time Yun Zheng had completely entered the state of war, he only considered the victory or defeat of the war, but no longer considered the actual difficulties of the people, the war has developed to this point, and it is already a luxury to talk about human nature.

After being silent for five days, he launched a majestic attack on Qin Wangchuan, and when countless siege vehicles and rams appeared from the horizon, Jia Kui yelled in despair: "The whole army is on alert, ready to fight!" ”

140,000 people filled Qin Wangchuan!

Fifty oxen dragging a tall building cart stood out in the wasteland, and he sat on this cart without hiding it, and behind him was an endless army, these people were all the military strength that Western Xia could draw out at present.

Such a wrong choice as going deep into the enemy country with the troops of the whole country should not have appeared on the body of the unhidden Pang, but this time he had no choice, and the Western Xia country had entered a wonderful state of equilibrium, and the chaos before the war had all disappeared. Both those who had something to eat and those who had nothing to eat were quiet, although people were still starving to death, and riots were no longer happening......

Those people were waiting to get enough stuff to go back as they had done before...... If you can't grab it, you don't dare to imagine what the consequences will be.

"Qi Xiangguo, Fu Bi did not flee, still stick to Qin Wangchuan, according to the detailed report, the Emperor of the Song State has ordered Fu Bi to die in Qin Wangchuan."

The person who spoke was called Jing Xun, a native of Suzhou. Because of the scientific expedition, he was angry and defected to Western Xia. Because of his meritorious contribution to the placement of the golden Buddha statue, he was deeply trusted by the Queen Mother, and it was even rumored that Jing Xun was the Queen Mother's guest of the scene.

He didn't hide it, Pang ignored Jing Xun, and continued to look at Qin Wangchuan in the distance, and said to himself: "It's a pity that I don't know how many good men in Daxia will bury their bones in the wilderness, and the unkindness of heaven and earth will bring disasters. We can only try to survive. ”

The generals who followed the side of Wu Zang Pang were in addition to the royal family Kui Ming Shouquan. Most of them were Han Chinese generals. Zhang Zhi, Zhang Jiang, Yang Lang, Xu Minzong, and Zhang Wenxian are all choices of the moment.

Zhang Zhi took over the words of the unconcealed Pang and continued: "The weather is not good, this is also a matter of no way, although the army has the merit of attacking the city and pulling out the village. But there is no effect of plundering, and it is not a good strategy to fight to the death for the sake of the gains and losses of one city and one place. It is a pity that we could not show the effect of the surprise attack of our cavalry. ”

Jing Xun said with a cold face: "It is a foregone conclusion that Fu Bi will defend Qin Wangchuan, Xiangguo specially gave Yun Zheng five days, I didn't expect this person to be as hard as iron and stone, and he didn't care about Fu Bi's life and death, and the soldiers Chen Cang sat and watched our army devour Qin Wangchuan." ”

Zhang Jiang sneered: "What do you know about a rotten Confucian, as a general, I appreciate Yun Zheng's approach, once his soldiers and horses arrive in Qin Wangchuan, they will become a dead pawn, no matter how brave he is, he will be crushed in this big flesh and blood mill, and only by wandering outside the battlefield can he find fighters." ”

Zhang Wenxian saw that Zhang Jiang's attitude was a little blunt, and hurriedly said: "I'm only worried that they will clear the wilderness, once the people of Qinzhou are evacuated from the war zone, how about destroying the entire Qinzhou?" ”

He said with a smile: "He's already doing this, hehe, we have no choice, only after breaking through Qin Wangchuan and then competing with Yun Zheng on the Chencang Ancient Road, take a long-term view, no matter how much food we grab, it is impossible to save the domestic crisis in Great Xia, human life is like a grass in the wasteland, it was killed by the cold wind this winter, and it will definitely be green again next spring, what we have to do now is to take advantage of the time when everyone wants to live to plan for the future, break through Qinwangchuan, break through the Chencang Ancient Road, Then attack Fengxiang Mansion, and finally meet with the Xishou Baotai Military Division in Huizhou...... I only wish that our ancestors would bless us to be able to achieve this goal. ”

Zhang Jiang looked at Qin Wangchuan in front of him and said to Wu Zang: "People will go crazy if they eat too much minced meat, Zuo has always led the army to be the vanguard of the army, and the first battle of this siege will be handed over to the last general!" ”

Without hiding Pang Pang waved his hand in agreement, Zhang Jiang took a deep breath, feeling that there was an annoying smell of human flesh in his chest, hurriedly got off the stairs, jumped on the war horse, and galloped towards Zuo's main army with his own soldiers.

He didn't hide Pang and said to Kui Ming: "Chang Lingjun should also go, Zuo Lingjun will rescue them back once they can't conquer the city, and now the Song army is becoming more and more difficult to deal with." ”

Jing Xun saw that Kui Mingshou was gone, and sighed and said: "Since the Song army mastered the secret of firearms, its combat power has increased greatly, but it is a pity that our fine work has not obtained the real secret recipe for gunpowder, and the firearms captured on the battlefield cannot be found by the master craftsmen in the army, and the imitation gunpowder cannot be compared with the gunpowder of the Song people in any aspect."

He has beheaded more than a dozen craftsmen in a row, and he has not been able to ......."

Didn't hide Pang finally took a look at Jing Xun and said: "The strength of the party is in the cavalry, in the sword, in the strong physique, gunpowder is good, but we blindly want to use our brains in this regard, it will outweigh the losses, in terms of ingenuity, the Song people have already walked in front, once we start to catch up, we will involuntarily be in the back, for the male does not take it."

Let's take a look at how our soldiers fought bravely! ”

As soon as the words of the unconcealed Pang fell, the poignant horn sounded, countless fireballs rolled down from the hill, and the thunderous rushed towards the wall of Dingyuan Village, these grass balls full of grease instantly burned around the east wall of Dingyuan Village, and the rising black smoke shrouded the city, making the Song army in the city choke, and the lieutenant colonel roared hoarsely to dump the sand.

The dull sound of drums sounded, and the tide of the Western Xia army hid behind the tall siege engines, hey, he

Jia Kui, as the guard of Dingyuan Village, was already familiar with the combat methods of the Tangut people, and was not panicked at this time, the trebuchet behind him was already filled with canisters of fire oil, just now, the sergeant threw the most dangerous yellow phosphorus into the oil tank, and when the Tangut people arrived, these canisters of fire oil were the first big meal he prepared for the enemy.

It was already an unbearable way for the cavalry to dismount and attack the walled city, and Zhang Jiang's cold face made any subordinate who wanted to raise objections obediently shut his mouth.

Seeing his subordinates flying like meat skewers under the attack of the Eight Bull Crossbows, the flag in his hand still waved forward firmly, signaling the army to move forward.

The horn sounded, the Xixia army shouted, left the cover of the siege vehicle with a huge wooden sign on his head, and rushed to the city wall with a cloud ladder, and at the same time, a rain of arrows rose in the rear army to envelop the city, this is the famous Xixia God Arm Crossbow!

When the enemy's horn sounded, Jia Kui also ordered the catapult to be launched, and when he saw that the oil tank had been ejected, he immediately led his subordinates into the specially placed anti-arrow wooden houses on the wall, which were made of thick logs and could not be penetrated by crossbow arrows.

As soon as Jia Kui hid in the wooden house, he heard a rain of arrows falling with a piercing scream, nailing to the wooden house like rain hitting plantains...... Four or five soldiers who didn't have time to dodge were swallowed up by the rain of arrows in an instant, and the whole person planted down the wall like a marionette with a whirlwind.

Everyone was pricking up their ears to listen to when the rain of arrows would stop, and some experienced Western soldiers were constantly calculating with their fingers, and when the sixth finger was bent, the sound of the rain of arrows finally stopped.

Jia Kui was the first to rush out of the wooden house with his shield, eagerly observing the movements of the Xixia people under the walled city, a scorching smell was carried up by the wind, and the pungent smell of burning oil and yellow phosphorus was also mixed in it, turning into an indescribable pungent smell.

If the city has become a reed field made of long arrows, the city is undoubtedly the scene of hell on earth, thousands of oil cans were thrown out at once, tens of thousands of catties of fire oil burned in the small open space in front of the walled city, whether it was a person or a war horse, or a siege vehicle, the battering ram became a torch, those Xixia people with flames let out a beast-like cry and threw themselves on the wall, and two hands vigorously pulled into the adobe of the wall, leaving a series of scratches that make people's backs chill.

The smoke on the east wall was swept by the wind and swirled towards the city, and behind the black smoke appeared a large group of black Tangut people, like evil ghosts escaping from hell, quickly set up a ladder on the fire, even if their bodies were on fire, they did not hesitate to climb with knives in their mouths.

The frontal attack of Dingyuan Village was just to cover these people's attack on the east wall, and no one would have thought that they would throw huge fireballs on their offensive routes.

The captain at the head of the wall was in a hurry, took off his gunpowder bullet and threw it into the fire under the city, and the rest of the soldiers also threw their gunpowder bullets in the same way, without igniting the powder twist, and the gunpowder bullet exploded as soon as it fell into the fire.

A wave of heat rose into the sky, and the explosion swept up the stump with the broken ladder and rushed to the top of the city, and the flames under the city were somewhat extinguished by the gunpowder bombs, leaving only a few scattered places.

The Xixia people, who were lucky not to be affected, rushed to the city with a wild scream, but were pushed down from the city by more than a dozen shouting Song soldiers with spears, and the sound of crossbows sounded on the city, and the roaring crossbow arrows completely extinguished the Xixia people's attempt to break through Dingyuan Village in one go. (To be continued......)
