Chapter 524: Artillery Opens the Way

In the miserable and desperate screams, Zhao Gou, who was only thirteen years old, saw that his eyes were red and his heart was bleeding.

Zhang Bangchang, Guo Yaoshi, Wang Yan, Liu Bi and other ministers were even more chilled in their hearts, and they all looked at Tong Guan with unkind eyes.

Tong Guanhu stared at him and said angrily, "What are you looking at? This is what happened to you Song Gou who killed my Dajin Warrior! Die a golden warrior, and I will kill a hundred of your Song dogs!"

Dead gelding!

Sooner or later, you won't have to die!

The roots of the teeth of Zhao Gou and Zhang Bangchang and other popular people are itchy.

At this moment, Wanyan Zongwang suddenly came on horseback, and after pretending to look at the purgatory scene in the valley, he glared at Tong Guan angrily:

"Didn't the commander tell you to disarm them and let them go? How did you kill them all?"

"The slave was worried that these Song dogs would defect to the Jimin Army and be the enemy of my Dajin warriors, so they made their own claims!"

"Please punish the second prince!"

Tong Guan loyally knelt on the ground.

"Good!"

"Come on, cut Tong Guan to Ben Shuai! Atonement for the innocent soldiers of the Song Army!"

Wanyan Zongwang coldly ordered.

"Handsome and slow!"

"Tong Guan has always been loyal to my Dajin Kingdom and has made outstanding contributions, and now is the time to employ people, why don't you temporarily write down the capital crime and give him a chance to make meritorious contributions?"

"I beg the marshal to be extrajudicially forgiving!"

Wanyan Yanmu, Lou Room, Yinshuke and other Jin leaders have spoken out to intercede for Tong Guan.

"You ...... Alas!"

Wanyan Zongwang glared at Tong Guan angrily, and the "unwilling" horse left.

Immediately, the Jin army, which put aside the burden and restlessness of the infantry army, rushed all the way north and fled.

Because they got the news that several Jimin army warships were chasing them along the river.

When Wanyan Zongwang fled, Xia Chongzong's name Qianshun also learned the news of Wanyan Zonghan's annihilation.

Wei name Qianshun, Han name Li Qianshun, was only three years old when he ascended the throne, his mother was Liang from the Han nationality, and ruled Western Xia for several years.

During the reign of the Liang clan, the Western Xia was greatly governed by Confucianism, with serious corruption and a weakened army, which made the already barren Western Xia even worse.

The Great Song Dynasty took the opportunity to attack, and the Xia army was repeatedly defeated, and Li Qianshun, who was eloquent and talented since childhood, saw this, and destroyed the Liang clan at the age of 16 in the second year of Yong'an (1099).

After he came to power, he still admired Confucianism and Taoism on the surface, but in fact, he abolished Confucianism like Dongying, making Confucianism only a superficial etiquette and form, and no longer a moral shackle and ideological shackle of the Tangut people.

In addition, he also vigorously improved the treatment and status of soldiers, cracked down on corruption, reduced taxes, paid attention to agriculture, built water conservancy, and instigated the Western Xia soldiers to enter the Song Dynasty to plunder the population and wealth.

As a result, the Western Xia became rapidly strong in just a few years, and the soldiers who tasted the sweetness became more and more belligerent, repeatedly invaded the Song Dynasty, occupied the land of the Great Song Dynasty, and plundered the people of the Great Song Dynasty as slaves.

It was not until the young and vigorous Song Huizong succeeded to the throne, regardless of the loss, to increase troops against the Western Xia, and adopted the strategy of Shaanxi transfer envoy Tao Jiefu and others to build a stone fort and build a walled city, step by step, that the offensive and defensive momentum of the Western Xia Great Song Dynasty began to reverse.

Seeing that there was no advantage to occupy, Li Qianshun immediately made overtures to the Liao State, and asked to marry Yelu Nanxian, the daughter of the Liao lord's feudal clan, as his wife, and used the Liao State to exert pressure on the Great Song Dynasty to force Song Huizong to agree to the Western Xia's request for peace, not only returned all the land that had been encroached upon in the Western Xia, but also restored the "annual gift" to the Western Xia, so that the Western Xia made enough oil regardless of victory or defeat.

This made the Western Xia continue to do things after the peace, and when they found an opportunity, they entered the Song realm to burn and loot, and if they lost, they put pressure on the Song Dynasty through the Liao State, making it clear that they were working together to bully the Great Song Dynasty.

This made Song Huizong have always held back an evil fire in his heart, and after the Western Xia Lianliao resisted Jin and asked him to join together, the Dog Emperor was instigated by Tong Guanyi, and directly went the opposite way, and came to Lianjin to destroy Liao.

But what the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State never expected was that as soon as the Liao State was destroyed, Li Renai, the prince of Western Xia, and his biological mother Yelu Nanxian died of "grief" due to the destruction of the Liao State.

Li Qianshun, a "shameless" emperor who only had three official concubines and five children, didn't care about his personal face and reputation, and only cared about the interests of the country and the nation, went to kneel and lick the Jin country, and came to destroy the Song Dynasty.

With the cooperation and support of Tong Guan and Wanyan Zonghan, they successively captured Tiande, Yunnei, Wuzhou and Hedong Baguan areas, as well as Zhenwucheng on the Song border (now Yulin in Shaanxi) and other places, directly plundering the wealth and people of these places, countless Great Song men were brutally killed, and Great Song women were reduced to slaves who were humiliated by the Western Xia people.

At this time, Li Liangfu, the commander of Western Xia, was preparing to capture Xi'an, Linzhou, Jianningqi and other places in the Song Dynasty.

After Li Qianshun consulted with Xue Yuan, Mou Ningke and other ministers, he ordered Li Liangfu to withdraw his troops quickly, of course, the people of the Great Song Dynasty and the wealth they had grabbed should all be taken away.

Because he was worried that the Western Xia army would go to rescue Yan Zonghan, he had always taken a conservative defensive posture, and when he learned of Jiang Chen's victory, he no longer had any worries, and led the soldiers of the Western Army to pounce.

Li Liangfu was reluctant to give up the goods and slaves of the Great Song Dynasty, so he fought and retreated, relying on the walled stone fort to defend.

At this time, after Jiang Chen sent Ruan Xingyun and Yang Zaili to lead the navy, and Zong Ze to lead the army to chase Yan Zongwang and recover the lost territory in the north, he also took the remaining elite, and Gao Yu, Yao Pingzhong, Xin Shuxian and other Western army commanders divided into five routes and killed the Western Xia army.

Immediately, Li Liangfu and the Western Xia army experienced the powerlessness of the Jin people in the face of artillery, muskets, and repeating steel crossbows......

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

After Jiang Chen's army arrived, there was no nonsense, and after setting up the formation, the whole army was directly pressed.

"This is the Great Song Jimin Army that wiped out the 100,000 Jin army?"

"Are they going to attack the city directly?"

Li Liangfu and Nori Renhong, Ji Ra Siyi and other Western Xia generals all showed solemn expressions.

The Western Xia soldiers were also so nervous that their palms were sweating, and in the face of the Jimin army that could slaughter 100,000 Jin troops, none of them did not feel weak in their hearts.

Seeing that the Jimin Army was about to enter the firing range, Li Liangfu immediately raised his hand and said, "Archers prepare!"

"Hah-"

The Western Xia soldiers at the head of the city bent their bows and arrows together.

Just as he was about to take a few steps forward and start firing arrows, the earth suddenly trembled!

"Boom, boom—"

After a few shots, the city gate was directly smashed.

"it!"

"This is the Song Army's artillery?"

"No wonder the 100,000 gold army will be killed and wiped out, how can this battle be fought?"

Li Liangfu, Noli Hitohiro, and the Western Xia generals were so shocked that their eyes bulged out.

The Western Xia soldiers, who were so rich and full of female slaves in the Song Realm, were even more frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat.
