Under the city of Pingxia.

Empress Dowager Xiao Liang was stunned, and her hateful gaze stared at the city wall of Pingxia City in front of her.

Once she was in this small Pingxia City to lose face and return in vain, and now this Pingxia City has become a thorn in the heart of Xixia, directly threatening the grain production area of Xixia, if it is not uprooted, Xixia will always be subject to the Great Song Dynasty.

"Evil Doctor Fan Zheng can be in the city?" Empress Dowager Xiaoliang asked through gritted teeth.

She had such a fiasco under Pingxia City, and the biggest culprit was the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and today she came again with a large army, just to be ashamed.

At this moment, she no longer has an appreciation for Fan Zheng's poetry, she only has monstrous hatred, if she breaks through Pingxia City, she will definitely break the evil doctor Fan Zheng's corpse into ten thousand pieces.

"Empress Dowager Qi, according to the details! The evil doctor Fan Zheng did not serve as the supervising army, and even the main general Chong Pu was changed, and became the deputy general Yang Weizhong as the main general. Wei Ming Ah Wu frowned.

Today's Pingxia City makes him feel weird, the importance of Pingxia City is known to Song and Xia, but the evil doctor Fan Zhengnai is the favored minister of the little emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is understandable not to serve as a supervisor, but its master Chong Pu was also transferred out, is there a more important task in the Great Song Dynasty than defending Pingxia City?

Empress Dowager Xiaoliang suddenly became angry, like a heavy punch on cotton, she mobilized the crowd to come, the culprits of the battle of Pingxia City went to two of the three, and only one deputy general Yang Weizhong was responsible for defending Pingxia City, how could she relieve her anger.

"Wait for the Empress Dowager Ben to break through Pingxia City and destroy the Great Song Dynasty, and you won't be able to escape if you wait for one!" Empress Dowager Xiao Liang looked at the majestic army behind her and said arrogantly.

Wei Ming Ah Wu was also in a surging mood, and the Western Xia gathered troops from all over the country to come, and united with the Qingtang army! He will definitely defeat the Great Song Dynasty in a battle, and in order to deal with Pingxia City, Western Xia can come prepared.

At that moment, with a wave of his hand, large trebuchets appeared in the Western Xia army.

"Put!"

Ah Wu shouted.

Suddenly, one by one trebuchets roared, and one by one the stones roared towards the walls of Pingxia City.

"Trebuchet! Hide! ”

On the wall of Pingxia City, Yang Weizhong watched the whistling stones coming, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

Now that the Western Xia army of one million is besieging the city, Pingxia City is in a weak position and can only be passively defended, and now the Xia army has heavy weapons such as trebuchets, I am afraid that Pingxia City will be worse. Now we can only hope that the fortress created by Fan Jianjun can block the counterattack of Western Xia.

"It's late!"

Under the city of Pingxia, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang showed a trace of hideousness.

This large number of trebuchets was the result of a year's worth of gathering Western Xia craftsmen, enough to attack Pingxia City beyond the range of the Divine Arm Crossbow, and there were enough to suppress the Song army.

The reason why she claimed to be a million-strong army to attack the Great Song Dynasty was that she needed a lot of manpower to transport these heavy weapons.

Sure enough, stones fell heavily on the city wall of Pingxia, causing a large area of soil to fall off, and many trebuchets smashed on the city wall, leaving the Song army dead and wounded at that time.

"The crossbowmen dodged, and the other soldiers hid under the city walls, ready to be called at any time!"

Seeing the heavy casualties among the soldiers under his command, Yang Weizhong immediately ordered.

The greatest lethality of trebuchets is in densely populated areas, and if the personnel are sparse, coupled with the fact that the trebuchets are not very accurate, the soldiers are scattered, and the losses can be minimized.

Immediately, a large number of defenders of Pingxia City came to the base of the city wall to avoid the attack of the trebuchet, leaving a certain number of crossbowmen to guard against the surprise attack of the Xia soldiers, so that the lethality of the trebuchet was greatly reduced.

"That's what you want!"

Wei Ming Ah Wu sneered, the biggest threat to the structure of the fortress in Pingxia City is a large number of crossbowmen with divine arms, once the number of crossbowmen on the fortress is reduced, it will not be able to achieve the purpose of suppressing the Xia army.

And this time, as long as the Xia army does not care about casualties, with the cooperation of the trebuchet, it will definitely be able to break through the attack of the divine arm crossbow and attack Pingxia City.

"Beat the drums, attack!"

At that moment, under the cover of trebuchets, Xia Jun went straight to Pingxia City.

When the Western Xia soldiers attacked the city of Pingxia, the trebuchet stopped, and the crossbowmen on the city of Pingxia breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to attack the Xia army, but it was too late, a large number of Xia soldiers had already erected ladders and ants to attack the city, and the city of Pingxia was immediately in danger.

Seeing this, Yang Weizhong said decisively: "Use the Heaven-Shaking Thunder immediately!" ”

At that moment, one by one, the sparkling earth-shattering thunder dropped the city wall, and with a roar, the Xia army suddenly suffered a large number of casualties, and a large number of Song troops defended the city wall, and the siege of the city was suddenly stopped.

"Earthquake Thunder!"

Wei Ming's heart trembled suddenly, the Xia army was defeated by this earth-shattering thunder that year.

"Continue to use trebuchets to suppress the Song army!" Empress Dowager Xiao Liang said fiercely.

Wei Ming Ah Wu couldn't help but pause, and was embarrassed: "The Queen Mother thinks twice, now that our army has attacked under the city of Pingxia, if we continue to attack with trebuchets, I am afraid that I will accidentally injure my Daxia soldiers." ”

Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was unmoved and said: "I have a million troops in Western Xia, and how many soldiers and horses do I have in Pingxia City, even if it is one for one, I can easily capture Pingxia City." ”

"But?"

Wei Ming Ah Wu was worried, if he continued to attack with trebuchets regardless of the lives of the soldiers, I am afraid that it would chill the soldiers.

"Righteousness is not in charge of wealth, and compassion is not in charge of soldiers! It's not that you don't understand this truth, if you don't use trebuchets to continue to attack, I'm afraid that we will repeat the fate of last year's battle of Pingxia City. In the end, the soldiers were lost, and the soldiers were killed and wounded countless times, since these soldiers were going to die sooner or later, why not die as they deserved and captured Pingxia City for Great Xia. Empress Dowager Xiaoliang said coldly.

Wei Ming Ah Wu suddenly trembled, and after a long time, he bowed to the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang.

Soon, the trebuchets in the Western Xia army exerted their strength again. However, the accuracy of trebuchets was very poor, and they often threw very few stones on the city wall accurately, but they accidentally injured many Western Xia soldiers.

However, even so, it still caused great interference to the Song army, coupled with the siege of the Western Xia army regardless of casualties, and soon, Pingxia City was already in danger.

With the arrival of an iron harrier hidden in the Xia army to Pingxia City, more and more Western Xia soldiers began to climb the walls of Pingxia City.

"Pingxia City can be broken with a snap of your fingers!" Seeing this scene, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang showed a trace of crazy pride.

On Pingxia City, Yang Weizhong did not panic when he saw this scene, but shouted and raised his arms: "Fierce fire oil tank!" ”

Suddenly, the Song army received the order, and soon, a drizzle sprayed out from the small holes in the city wall, accompanied by a strong pungent smell, which filled the entire battlefield.

"Is this wine?"

A Western Xia general saw that the Great Xia soldiers were about to break through Pingxia City, and his heart was ecstatic, and he suddenly felt a pungent liquor falling from the sky.

"On the battlefield, how can there be wine?" Xia Jiang was puzzled.

However, in the next moment, bright flames illuminated the entire battlefield, only to see from the small holes in the wall of Pingxia City, spewing out flames, everywhere they went, one by one the Xia army burned, screaming and falling to Pingxia City, and the offensive of the entire Xia army was suddenly interrupted.

The Song army took the opportunity to counterattack on a large scale, with crossbows and thunder, pouring out, and the Xia army suffered heavy casualties and was defeated.
