Faced with the persuasion of the nobles, Dayan Ozir Khan fell into hesitation for a while.

He was unwilling to surrender to the Xia army like this, or more accurately, he did not want to bow to the Xia army again after paying such heavy casualties, once he bowed his head, it would be an extremely heavy blow to his majesty.

The Hoshut Khanate was not monolithic within itself, and within its borders, in addition to Dayan Ozir Khan, the fifth *** also had the right to rule, and he was the spiritual leader of Uszang, whose secular power gradually expanded, threatening the position of the khan.

Dayan Ozir Khan's expedition this time, in addition to wanting to make a fortune in the Xia Dynasty, also had the idea of using this war to improve his prestige and majesty, but who would have thought that he would be unfavorable and besieged in the Acropolis of Xining.

The nobles saw Dayan Ozir Khan's reluctance, but they didn't care whether Dayan Ozir Khan's rule was stable or not, their lives were their own, and the country belonged to the Khan, even if the country was gone, their families and wealth would still be retained, so they would not die with the Khan.

Therefore, the nobles gathered around and put pressure on the Khan to immediately send envoys to sue for peace with the Xia army, and several of the grumpy nobles directly threatened that if the Khan was unwilling to surrender, then they would not be able to control the people who wanted to surrender.

This naked threat made Dayan Ozir Khan's face suddenly turn green, his face became extremely ugly, pointing at the few nobles who threatened him speechless, the nobles next to him hurriedly stood up to save the scene, King Khan could only take a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then agreed to the request of the nobles in a deep voice, selected a few nobles from the lord and faction, and asked them to go to the Xia army camp to sue for peace.

Half an hour later, the Xia army camp ushered in the envoys of the Heshute Khanate, they claimed to have brought the will of the Khan, asked to meet with the main general of the Xia army, and the patrol that intercepted them did not dare to slack off when they heard that they wanted to meet the main general, and after unloading their weapons, they brought them to Liu Shixun for the first time.

"General, the messenger is here!"

The soldier who led the way entered the tent and clenched his fists, and after he brought in the delegation composed of several Mongolian nobles, he turned and left.

Several Mongol nobles looked at the furnishings in the tent with some trepidation, and then looked at the chief general of the Xia army who was sitting on the main seat expressionlessly, and the guards who were guarding his side glaring angrily at the mission, everyone looked very cramped.

The Mongol nobleman led by him did not behave so badly, he gave Liu Shixun a chest salute with an indifferent expression, and then said: "Respected general Zhengxi, my name is Chagan, and I am ordered by the king of Heshute Khan, Dayan Ozir Khan, hoping to end this meaningless war and restore peace between the two countries."

His words were relayed by the translator, and they fell into Liu Shixun's ears word for word, and the latter's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "This war was provoked by Dayan Ozir Khan on his own initiative, and before the war began, didn't you think that there would be an end today? The war was provoked by you, and naturally it will not end because of your will, and the Great Xia King Division will not stop attacking until it takes revenge for the tens of thousands of innocent soldiers and civilians who died tragically in the Nian Bo Institute."

"General, His Majesty the King of Khan is also deeply sorry for the massacre of the Nian Bosuo, most of the Tumut tribes who carried out the massacre of the city without authorization have been killed in today's battle, and there is no need for this war to continue, for this reason, His Majesty the King of Khan is willing to cede Xiningwei, repay one hundred taels of gold as compensation, and pay tribute to the Emperor of Great Xia to express his submission." The messenger said humbly.

Liu Shixun was unmoved by his conditions, he sneered, and said, "All this can be obtained by my Great Xia King Master by relying on the sword in his hand, you go back and tell you King Khan for the time being, let him have a good meal, and when Xining City is broken, he will have nothing to eat on the way to Jiangning."

After saying that, he didn't care about the reaction of the messengers, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the messengers to be thrown out.

The negotiations broke down, and although Dayan Ozir Khan was unwilling to surrender, he was also full of unease and anger at the response of the Xia commander, and he couldn't help but feel deeply annoyed, regretting why he had taken the liberty of going so far that he had been besieged, and if he had chosen to let his brother go first, where would he have to suffer this humiliation.

What is the most humiliating? It was he who rushed to surrender, but the Xia army did not accept it and wanted to continue the war.

……

The next day, after a night of repairs, the Xia army once again launched a fierce attack on the Xiningwei where the city wall had collapsed in many places, and this time the Xia army directly braved the rain of arrows from the Mongols, pushed the infantry artillery to the collapsed gap, and used shotguns to attack the Mongol army behind the gap.

Although the Mongols had never tasted the power of shotguns, they also knew that it was not a good thing to let the Xia artillery get close in this way, so before the artillery could be fired, they rushed out of the gap under the leadership of the generals, and took the initiative to attack the Xia army, intending to seize those terrible artillery.

Where would the Xia army give them the opportunity to seize the artillery, seeing that the Mongols actually took the initiative to attack, they quickly lined up a three-stage formation and fired several rounds of salvos at the Mongol army, but these Mongol warriors who were all draped in their bodies did not even touch the face of the enemy, so they fell on the way to charge, and the heavy armor on their bodies did not block the penetration of the projectiles at all, and they fell one after another.

Soon, the Xia artillery completed the loading, they looked at the Mongols who were still charging, the corners of their mouths showed a sneer, and then lit the fuse, and shot out the dense small projectiles, the infantry cannon was like a large shotgun, and the shotgun immediately enveloped the charging Mongols in front.

I only saw a blood mist burst open, and the Mongols who ran in the front actually exploded directly into a pool of blood mist, the armor and minced flesh on their bodies were rotten together, and the soldiers behind were also beaten into a sieve, and they were cleared out of a no-man's land at once.

It was the first time that the Mongols had encountered such a terrible attack, and after a brief moment of stunnedness, the soldiers who had not been affected by the shotgun instantly scattered and fled, and the infantry of the Xia army seized this opportunity to advance in orderly steps to the sound of dense drums, and they stepped over a corpse of an enemy soldier with an inhuman shape into the city.

Everywhere the Xia army went, the Mongols knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, becoming prisoners of war of the Xia army, and Dayan Ozir Khan in the city did not expect his army to be defeated so quickly, he could only rely on the buildings and streets of the city to resist stubbornly, intending to involve the Xia army in brutal street fighting.

However, the nobles under his command were not willing to die with him, and under the instruction of those nobles, the armies under their command surrendered to the Xia army one after another, making way for the Xia army, and even in order to be activated by the Xia army, they directly led their subordinates to wave butcher knives at the friendly troops who were unwilling to surrender and start a civil war.

Dayan Ozir Khan could see from the actions of the nobles last night that the nobles could not be trusted, so he had been on guard against the nobles since the start of the war, and after being attacked by the nobles' army, the army directly under the Khan quickly restored order after a short period of chaos, and instead repelled the attack of the nobles' army.

When the news was reported to the Khan, although he had anticipated this situation in advance, his heart was still full of sorrow, and he looked at the several nobles around him, pressed his right hand on the hilt of his sword silently, and said in his mouth: "They have betrayed me for their lives, and have broken their oath of allegiance to me, and if you want to live, I will allow you to leave here and surrender to the Han Chinese."

Several nobles looked at each other, but no one moved, and they said in unison, "I am willing to fight to the death for the Khan!"

The loyalty of these nobles gave Dayan Ozir Khan a little comfort, but this little comfort did not play any role in the battle situation, under the strong attack of the Xia army, the army loyal to the Khan King was defeated and retreated, and was soon compressed around Xining Weixue, and the cannonballs flying from the front line fell from time to time, so that the Khan King and others hiding in Weixue could feel the building trembling.

The army of 20,000 fell apart in just two days, and less than a thousand people remained gathered around the Khan, and more were scattered all over the city, fighting against the aristocratic army and the Xia army that had defected.

In order to be able to attack the Weixue where Dayan Ozil Khan was hiding as soon as possible, the Xia army directly dragged the infantry artillery to the front line, opened fire on the Heshute army across the street, and forcibly blasted a hole with shotguns.

Afterwards, the tall Xia grenadiers raised their rifles and stepped over the horrific corpses to rush into the lines of the Heshute army, and engaged the recalcitrant Mongols in hand-to-hand combat, killing only a few back and forth, and the Mongols loyal to the Khan were quickly crushed and scattered.

At last

The battle revolves around Weixue, a building that was originally used to educate the people of Xining with an academic atmosphere, but now, it is actually full of bloody slaughter.

The Xia army opened the way with grenades and fired a volley at the holding Heshuo guards, and soon blew a way, crushing the Khan's guards and rushing into the Weixue, where Nadayan Ozir Khan led the remaining guards and nobles to draw their swords and resist.

King Khan used to be a fierce general, in the face of the siege of the Xia army, he was not afraid, and after killing a number of Xia soldiers one after another, he was finally wounded and captured, and was pushed to the ground by many Xia soldiers, unable to move, and could only scold and vent his anger.

In just two days, the Xia army finally regained the Acropolis of Xining, and they achieved brilliant results, not only annihilating the main force of the Heshute army, but also capturing Dayan Ozir Khan and a number of Heshute nobles, but the price they paid was also relatively painful.

The third town had more than 40,000 men in the battle, and under the stubborn resistance of the Heshute army, more than 3,000 soldiers were killed and nearly 5,000 were wounded, most of them because of the rain of arrows fired by the Heshute army during the attack.
