Volume 12 A Thousand Autumns Requires a Hundred Battles Chapter 1219 Attack and Defense

The destruction of Shengzhou is not actually a surprise.

Shengzhou was placed in Sui, and then there were Yulin County, Shengzhou, Fengzhou, and Linzhou were all under the rule of Yulin.

However, after many years, the Khitan, the party, and the Jurchen have risen one after another, and since the end of the Tang Dynasty, this place has become a place of contention among all ethnic groups, and by the establishment of the Qin people, not only the land of Yulin has been lost.

Moreover, even the Great Wall was not defended, and the Yinxia Tie was occupied by the Western Xia, and the Qin people could only firmly hold the Yanzhou lands and block the party members in the north.

And Shengzhou, in fact, was one of the first border fortresses to be lost.

However, when the Khitans broke Shengzhou, Xu abandoned Shengzhou because of the inconvenience of exchanges, built Dongshengzhou on the east bank of the Yellow River, and moved the people of Shengzhou to defend it.

In order to get a glimpse of Datong in the Later Western Xia, and in order to prevent the Khitans from going south, they rebuilt the Shengzhou defense area on the west bank of the Yellow River.

But to be honest, Shengzhou was in a dilapidated state at this time, and only some ruins remained.

When the Tangut people rebuilt, they could not be compared with those years.

Today, Shengzhou City has long lost the significance of preparing for the border in the past, and for Western Xia, it is not much different from the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division, and has become an enclave-like storage zài.

Mu Huali led the army along the Yellow River to the east, the first to arrive must be Shengzhou, tens of thousands of iron cavalry, surrounded the city of Shengzhou, the Western Xia people according to the city to defend, finally let the grassland warriors see what the siege battle should look like.

There are no conspiracies and tricks such as deceitful cities, and the defenders of Shengzhou are not as slack as the Weifu Military Division of Montenegro, and the defenders have long been prepared, with the military system of the Western Xia people. Conquer the people of the city. The strength of the army ranged from more than 5,000 people It immediately swelled to nearly 20,000 people.

This was the most ji1iè battle that Mu Huali had experienced since he led the steppe cavalry south.

It also made the leaders of the grassland tribes realize that the Divine Brave Army Division of the Left Wing of Western Xia is completely different from the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division and the Maitreya Prefecture Military Division.

This offensive and defensive battle lasted for three days.

During these three days, the steppe warriors surrounded on all sides, and the water in the siege of Shengzhou was impassable, and then. It is a siege on all sides.

Although the steppe warriors were fierce, they were not good at attacking the city, and their weaknesses were undoubtedly exposed in this battle, and they attacked the city several times, but they were desperately driven down by the Tanguts.

The defender of Shengzhou City, the descendant of the Xixia Mountain surnamed Ma Luo, Ma Luo Huaien, this person has a strong temperament, knows how to fight, and is the general of Western Xia. Stationed in Shengzhou for many years, in the Shengzhou army. He is loved by the soldiers, if it weren't for his background, and he didn't want to be used by the Li family's magnates, otherwise, his current status would be far more than that.

What is especially commendable is that this person has fought in Hedong with the army several times, and when he was young, he had guarded the village on the border of Qinxia and Xia.

On the day when the steppe people came, this person led his own army cavalry and attacked them out of the city, but under the fierce counterattack of the grassland soldiers, he was almost surrounded outside the city, and under the response of the defenders in the city, he broke through the siege and returned to the city.

But this person was not depressed, when the steppe warriors attacked the city, he led his troops out of the city several times to fight fiercely with the enemy, so that the enemy could not attack the city with all his strength, until Mu Huali ordered people to lure him out of the city, and under the first battle, the cavalry of the Shengzhou defenders was killed, which was a little more honest......

Next, the Tanguts were really only defending and not attacking.

Under the rain of arrows at the head of the city, the cavalry and archery skills of the steppe warriors could not swing too much, and the casualties continued.

The prisoners of the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division and the Maitreya Prefecture Military Division, like cattle and sheep, were driven forward to attack the city, and under the city of Shengzhou, there were many casualties.

Above and below the city, corpses were everywhere, and blood was flowing.

On the third day, the east gate of Shengzhou City, which had been in disrepair for a long time, was finally knocked open, and the grassland warriors swarmed in, even so, the defenders of Shengzhou City were still under the leadership of Ma Luo Huaien, fighting to the death, from the head of the city, killing to the city, and fighting fiercely in the inner city, until the evening of the third day, Ma Luo Huaien was captured by exhaustion, and only 6 continued to appear in the Western Xia surrender, this person's prestige in the Shengzhou defenders, which can be seen in general.

The casualties of this battle were reported to Mu Huali here, Mu Huali frowned, under the first battle, not only the surrender of the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division, but also the surrender of the Maitreya Prefecture Military Division suffered heavy damage, and they were killed by the defenders under the city, and those who fled back were killed, together, these Western Xia soldiers have suffered casualties of seventy-seven eighty-eight.

And the warriors of the grassland tribe have also paid a lot of price, more than 2,000 grassland warriors have been lying here forever, and it seems that the casualties are not much.

But with the surrender of the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division and the Maitreya Prefecture Military Division, a total of seven or eight thousand people died inside and outside Shengzhou City.

All the leaders of the tribes felt that they were extremely angry, and the beggar leaders were the most murderous, and immediately raised yì and slaughtered Shengzhou City to avenge the warriors who died in battle.

The rest of the people, with the exception of Li Xing's repeated remonstrances, echoed this as the most common act of revenge of the steppe people, and in many cases, after their own casualties, most of them would kill all the men of the rival tribe who were taller than the wheels, leaving only women and children.

And in the territory of Western Xia, their actions will become more and more unscrupulous, if the city is slaughtered, that is, the city of Shengzhou will be bloodied, and even the women and children will not be spared......

If it were Mu Huali in another time and space, he would not hesitate to agree to this request in order to unleash the murderous nature of the warriors and appease their tyrannical feelings.

But in this time and space, Mu Huali has served in the Qin army for many years, although he is also thirsty for killing, but he has suppressed a lot more, and he does not plan to use such a method at this time.

The weakness of the Tangut people has appeared, and as Li Xing said, slaughtering the city is not the best way to deter the enemy, and it is likely to arouse the hatred of the various tribes of the Tangut Dynasty.

Therefore, at this time, he asked the captured Maro Wynn to be brought to himself and the generals, and under coercion, the Western Xia veteran finally lowered his head and was willing to serve him.

And this person, in the battle of destroying the summer, played a role far from what people can imagine today, and in the following ten years, this person gradually became the most powerful arm of the great general Mu Huali.

And once this person bows his head, Shengzhou City is completely in the hands of Mu Huali, and there is no need to open any more killing rings, such as the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division, the generals are swept away, and with Ma Luo Huaien, the end of the first battle of Shengzhou is even faster and unimaginable.

Mu Huali is not afraid that this person will repeat, in the city of Shengzhou and in the countryside outside the city, as many defenders as long as they hold them, even if Ma Luo Huaien does not think about himself, he must also take care of his subordinates, right?

Immediately, Mu Huali ordered Malo Huaien to select a thousand soldiers in the surrender of the army, and after repairing in Shengzhou for a day, the army immediately set off and came in the direction of Fengzhou.

Fengzhou, as one of the most important cities in Yulin, is only inferior to Linzhou in the south, and it is also an important grain producing place north of the Great Wall.

Of course, that was the matter of that year, the Khitan people got Fengzhou, grazing horses and farming here, and the Jurchens came here to continue to build Fengzhou City, but it turned this place into a place where grain and grass gathered, in order to peek at Yinxia, and moved the Han slaves here, farming and storing grain......

However, after the Tangut people got this land, they gradually abandoned agriculture and mulberry and herded cattle and horses, and turned to Yinxia as the focus to cultivate and raise soldiers.

In fact, in the middle and late Western Xia, Yulin has become a pasture for the Tangut people, providing a large number of war horses for the Tangut people's eastward crusade.

After Mu Huali broke Shengzhou, he led the cavalry of the grassland tribe to the south, and began to encounter some horse farms, but because the news has come here, most of the horses in the horse farm have been taken away, and those who can't be taken away will be killed......

The army rolled down, and on the 14th day of May in the fifth year of the Great Qin Chengwu, the army was less than 20 miles away from the important town of Fengzhou......

Today's Fengzhou City is not comparable to Shengzhou, and it is far beyond the reach of Wulahai City, with tall walls and heavily guarded defenders......
