Chapter 97: Uneasy Heart

On the city wall of Lingzhou, the rolling stones of the sassal wood are piled up, the artillery and bed crossbows are everywhere, and the Xia army shuttles back and forth, carrying arrows and ammunition, and it is a busy scene in full swing.

"The gunpowder must be covered, and it must not be wet! There must be no brazier around the powder keg, once it burns, it will kill people! ”

Yang Daquan commanded the Song soldiers, carried the ammunition onto the city wall, carefully placed it in the gun carriage, and carefully advised.

"Commander, do you want to move the Heaven-Shaking Thunder?"

Song Bing's face was flushed with cold, and he kept rubbing his hands.

"No, you can bring two or three with each person. Remember, there are months to defend the city, so save some money! ”

Yang Daquan looked at the boundless Mongolian army camp outside the city, and was also secretly surprised.

With so many Mongolian troops, I am afraid that they do not carry enough firearms.

All the officers who entered the summer were automatically promoted to one level, and Yang Daquan was also promoted to commander. As a general who was not born in Wutang, he was respected by Cao Youwen, the capital of Lizhou West Road, and he was also regarded as a straight up.

Now working under the command of acquaintance Cao Youwan can be regarded as a familiar car and hard work.

"Commander, what do you think it is?"

His subordinate Song Bing suddenly pointed in the direction outside the city and shouted loudly.

Yang Daquan looked up and saw that outside the south city gate, several horses galloped over, and the knights on the horses were all dressed as Mongolian soldiers and had complete armor, obviously from the Mongolian army camp opposite.

"Brother Gao, do you know? Who is this? ”

Yang Daquan pointed to the Mongolian knights outside the city and asked the Xia soldiers on the side.

"That's the messenger of the Tatars. The leader is called Chahan, who was originally from my Daxia, and later voted for Genghis Khan and became Genghis Khan's righteous son. This guy went back and forth to Lingzhou City several times, all to persuade him to surrender. I'm afraid this time will be no exception! ”

Ye Limou, the Western Xia general who was guarding the city, came over to explain, and he looked out of the city with a look of disdain.

"Xia people, Genghis Khan's righteous son?"

Yang Daquan was shocked and shook his head slightly.

There are so many traitors in the world, there are them everywhere, and they still live so chicly.

"General Yeli, Chahan has come to persuade him to surrender, are you willing to surrender?"

Yang Daquan was touched and asked about the wild conspiracy of greed and love for money.

I heard that on the day when the Song army entered the city, this guy actually asked Yu Yu for a bribe. If this was in Lizhou Lianglu, I am afraid that it would have been removed from office and investigated.

"Surrender? Go to his Niang's spring and autumn dreams! ”

Ye Limou snorted coldly and straightened his face.

"Genghis Khan killed me like a pig and a dog, and asked me to open the door and surrender, unless my head is gone! Killing one Tatar is enough, killing two earns one. Surrender, there is no way in the next life! ”

"Surrender? Let his Niang's stinking fart go! ”

Gao Hu, the Xia soldier on the side, also said angrily.

Yang Daquan nodded and put his mind at ease.

The Mongol army burned and looted in Western Xia, and also threatened to slaughter the people of Xingling Land, no wonder the Xia people hated the same enemy and refused to give in.

"Brother, it's time to count on you. Don't worry, brother, I can't treat you badly, please drink when the time comes! ”

Ye Limou patted Yang Daquan on the shoulder, looked at the Mongolian army camp outside the city, spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and turned to leave.

"General Yeli, go slowly!"

Yang Daquan was full of smiles and watched Ye Limou leave.

This soldier also has a cute side.

However, this is okay, the defenders of Lingzhou are united, but he can defend the city with peace of mind.

"Commander, you say, the Xia people won't make peace with the Tatars, right?"

The Song soldier gunner was still not at ease, and asked in a low voice.

The soldiers below are united, but they can't resist the corruption and cowardice of the upper echelons.

"Don't worry, never!"

Xia Bing Gao Hu on the side, who was also a veteran soldier, shook his head and said categorically.

"Brother Gao, why is that?"

The Song soldier asked curiously, this was also what they were worried about.

Once the Xia army surrenders, they will really have a hard time. When the time comes, there seems to be no choice but to fight alone.

"How many times have the Tatar messengers come, and if they want to surrender, they will not wait until today. Genghis Khan wants to kill the Xia people in the land of Xingling, and the fool will surrender. Li Deren, the abolished prince who defended the city, was a hard bone and hated Tatar to the bone. Even if the emperor surrenders, he will not surrender! ”

Gao Hu said with a smile, and admired Li Deren, the defender of Lingzhou.

"I see! That's good, we can defend the city with confidence! ”

Yang Daquan next to him laughed and said it.

Even if Li Deren, the defender of Lingzhou, surrenders, he will not surrender, let alone Cao Youwan. It's a big deal that there will be a fierce battle at that time, and the horse leather shroud will not live up to the emperor's trust.

Chahan and the others entered the city gate, and several people went to the city, and a few Mongolian knights dismounted, but went straight to the city.

"Stop!"

A few Xia soldiers were ignorant, and when they saw the Mongolian knights go to the city, Yang Daquan's face turned pale and he made a look.

Two Song soldiers armed with spears, one on the left and one on the right, were on the steps of the horse road to the city, blocking the way of several Mongol knights to the city.

Needless to say, these Mongol knights were here to find out what was going on in the city defenses. These Xia soldiers seemed to be shocked by the momentum of the Mongolian knights, and they didn't dare to stop them.

The city defense is an important place, and there are artillery on it, how can it be snooped on by the Mongolian army.

"Get out of here!"

The leading Mongolian knight said a non-standard Chinese dialect, and the whip in his hand was about to be drawn.

"Bold!"

Yang Daquan was furious, and in the midst of angry shouts, he stepped forward, snatched the spear in the hand of a Song soldier on the city wall, and pointed directly at the knight's door.

"Get down! Dare to take another step forward, and kill him! ”

Yang Daquan's face was pale, and the knights of the Mongolian army were stunned, scolding in their mouths, and walked straight to the city wall.

"Do it!"

"Wait!"

Yang Daquan and Ye Limou, who hurried back, spoke one after the other, almost at the same time.

The military order was like a mountain, and the two Song army pikemen did not hesitate, and almost at the same time, one left and one right, stabbed the Mongolian knight who took the lead.

The knight was so taken aback that he was too late to retreat, and was stabbed into the throat and armpit with a spear, and when he landed, he turned over and fell, and the blood gushed like a spring, stained red.

The other Mongol knights were taken aback, they took a step back, drew their swords, and were about to step forward desperately.

"Wait!"

Ye Limou hurriedly came over, a series of words were chattering, and the Mongolian knights looked at Yang Daquan and a few Song army spearmen with hatred, and finally put the knife back into the sheath and carried the comrade who stabbed to death.

"Lao Yang, why are you so angry? Do you know that you just killed Baturu in the Tatar army, a centurion? It's really ......"

Ye Limou looked at the scarlet stall on the horse road and shook his head helplessly.

"General Yeli, how can the city defense be spied on by the Tatars? Hurry up and make your rounds, don't give the Tatars a chance to get to the city. Otherwise, it will be very detrimental to our army to defend the city. ”

"What else are you patrolling? The leaders have been killed by you, how dare the others try again? ”

Ye Limou looked at Yang Daquan in astonishment, and his heart was secretly suspicious.

These guys are ruthless and well-trained, are they really so-called rebels?

Yang Daquan nodded, still uneasy in his heart.

The Tatar envoy came to Lingzhou City, but he must not negotiate peace with the Tatars. Western Xia, like the Great Song Dynasty, was also a soldier with blood and bravery, but the upper-level scholars were cowardly and shameless.

If that's the case, the joke will be too big.
