Chapter 528: No jokes in the army
Not only were the Tangut people killed and wept in despair, but even the envoys of the mutual Uighurs and Tibetans were frightened into a cold sweat by the cruel methods of the Jimin army, and vowed to advise the lord of the country not to provoke the Song people in the future, because the Song people are not only too powerful but also cruel!
But they didn't know that it was not the Song people who killed the ordinary people of Western Xia, but the professional executioners and soldiers.
These guys have already gained experience in Dongying, no matter where the Tanguts are hiding, they have a way to find them quickly, and then excitedly hand over all the valuable things and eye-catching women to the quartermaster.
Whether it is a woman or wealth, they all have a five-point "commission", and the trustworthy Jiang Chen and Limen officials will never deduct a penny, and the distribution is very timely.
Therefore, they are very enthusiastic about this low-risk and high-reward job, and they have long forgotten the hatred of losing the country, and they all feel that following Jiang Chen is the life that a soldier should live.
But the most ferocious one who killed the Western Xia people was not the Jiaozhi soldiers, but the Liao army led by Yelukjin and Xiao Nilie!
The Western Xia not only betrayed their treachery, but also stabbed their relatives, friends and brothers who defected to the Western Xia, and killed the princess of Da Liao and her son who they wanted to marry (the Western Xia people said that they died of grief at the same time, and no fool would believe it).
Therefore, the Khitan men are all fighting bravely, not afraid of death, and will never let go of any of the Western Xia people who appear in their field of vision.
The Western Xia people couldn't defeat the Liao cavalry, and with the cooperation of the muskets and crossbows of the Jimin army, they were directly killed and collapsed.
After a shout of "abandon your weapons and don't kill", countless soldiers chose to surrender with their weapons.
Seeing that the defeat was decided, Helian Lin removed the stone sack that blocked the North City Gate, and led more than 100,000 Western Xia elites to escape from the North City Gate.
This is the escape route of the Western Xia army expected by Zhou Dong, Zhi Keqiu, Jiang Chen and others, and for the 200,000 elites of the Western Xia army in the city of Lizhou, they have no idea of swallowing it in one go.
Therefore, when constructing the position, Zhou Tong specially left a hole on the bank of the Yellow River.
Helian Lin knew that this must be a trap, so he was not fooled and directly attacked the position head-on.
If the Tangut people were united, even if the Song army wanted to kill, the bows and arrows and ammunition would not be enough, but they could not bear the fact that the Tangut had as many pig teammates as the Great Song Dynasty, and the fleeing civilian officials and some infantry were afraid that the cavalry would rush over, and they would be surrounded and killed by the Song army, so they would flee north along the river bank.
For these people, the Song army had no intention of attacking.
Seeing this, the rest of the Western Xia army couldn't help but join the fleeing team in batches, but Helian Lin did not flee because of the heavy casualties in front of him, but the team behind fled first.
At this time, Yelukejin and Xiao Nilie, who had killed a thorough in the city, also led the Liao cavalry to chase after them, and under a round of crossbow arrows, Helian Linxi's rear army collapsed directly, and they all rushed to the river bank.
"Ahh
"It's over!"
Helian Lin watched the soldiers and civilians of Western Xia scramble for the road, trampling and crying, and even countless soldiers took off their armor and jumped into the river to swim to the other side, with a deep look of despair in his eyes.
Seeing this, his son Helian Bo persuaded with a panicked face, "Father, let's run away too?"
"Run?"
"Do you think Song Jun will really let us escape?"
"If we abandon the attack, we will be greeted by rout and slaughter!"
Helian Lin shook his head, looked at his son deeply, and said, "Go ahead! It's up to God whether you live or die! My father has no face to go back to face the emperor and my people in Great Xia!"
After saying that, Helian Lin raised his sword and pointed at the Song army's position and said, "Warriors, the time has come to be loyal to Your Majesty, kill with me!"
"Kill!"
Countless Western Xia cavalry followed Helian Lin and launched a decisive charge.
The cavalry in the rear rushed to the river bank with their heads bowed in shame, some rushed to the north to escape, and those who knew how to swim to the opposite side of the river bank were extremely happy.
But just when they were rejoicing, just when most of the fleeing Western Xia soldiers entered the water, several Song warships suddenly passed from the west gate of Lizhou City
Drove over.
Then he shot mercilessly at the Western Xia army, who were powerless to resist in the water!
"Puff puff—"
"Ahh
"Don't kill us, we surrender......
The Western Xia soldiers in the river let out a desperate howl!
And as Helian Lin was shot into a hedgehog, the elite cavalry of Western Xia also began to flee under the pursuit of Yelukzin and Shawnilie.
Cao Sheng and Cao Hui, who were waiting for work, saw that the time had come, and decisively led the Cao family army to intercept and kill.
At the same time, there were countless Northwest Biaozi who were full of hatred for the Tanguts in the periphery, and when they saw the Tangut soldiers who rushed out of the encirclement, they surrounded them in groups: "Stop! Don't run, you Western Xia bandits, leave me your horses and weapons!"
"And boots!"
A barefoot man added in a loud voice.
"You Temade......
"Who the hell are the bandits?"
The Western Xia soldiers were full of depression, and were directly beaten to death by the Northwest Biaozi with green eyes, not only the war horses and weapons were gone, but even the clothes were pulled off by the thrifty Northwest men and kept home as diapers......
The entire east bank of the Yellow River was filled with the desperate cries of the Western Xia people, which made the people who led the troops to come to the rescue on the other side of the river bank all looked at it and regretted not being at the beginning.
But in the face of the Song army's ship cannons and crossbow muskets, they did not dare to approach at all.
While the whole of the Western Xia Kingdom was in grief, anger and panic, the northwest soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty and merchants such as Pan Shishan ushered in a carnival feast, and the wealth of Lizhou City exceeded their imagination.
After counting the results, even the Seed Master Dao couldn't help but glance at Jiang Chen with a complicated expression and said, "If this time it is also distributed according to the ratio of three, three and four, it will be more than the empty salary that has been eaten for more than ten years!"
"yes, is this distribution going to be changed? That's a lot!"
As he spoke, he and the generals of the Western Army all stared at Jiang Chen with nervous expressions.
It's not that they are too much, but they are afraid that Jiang Chen will secretly discount it.
"There is no joke in the army! You are reassuring the soldiers!"
Jiang Chen looked amused, then looked at the map on the wall and said, "If Lizhou is lost, Xiazhou and Yinchuan will definitely shake their hearts, presumably they will soon have good news.
When the battle situation on the east bank of the Yellow River is settled, we will cross the river and take Xingqing Mansion and Liangzhou!
At that time, my Great Song Dynasty only needs 100,000 troops to garrison these cities, which is enough to ensure the stability of Western Xinjiang!"
"Not bad! In this way, we can fully vacate 300,000 Western troops to recover Yanyun!"
"Hahaha......
The planter laughed expectantly.
The eyes of Zhe Keqiu and others also showed a fiery color, and no one would not be moved by such an opportunity to leave a name in history.
As for the rest of the territory of Western Xia, according to the agreement, it would be divided between the Western Uighurs, the Yellow Uighurs, and the Tibetans.
Of course, they are also the ones who sent troops, and it is only a matter of time before they will be merged into the Great Song Dynasty with them in the end.
