Chapter 488: Gunpowder Breaks the City!

On the second day, the Song army's war drums were thundering! The whole army is suddenly ready to go!

The abnormal movement of the Song army suddenly made the Western Xia defenders feel like they were facing a great enemy, and immediately went to report to the Xia Emperor Li Qianshun!

"It's coming!"

Li Qianshun suddenly got up and immediately rushed towards the city wall.

The evil doctor Fan Zheng besieged Xingqing Mansion, except for cutting off the water source and filling in the trenches, he kept besieging but not attacking, which in itself was extremely contrary to common sense, which made it difficult for Li Qianshun to sleep and eat.

Now Song Jun has a big move! Obviously, the evil doctor Fan Zheng and the evil prescription are about to appear.

Li Qianshun came to the Xixia city wall, looked at the Song army on the opposite side, and couldn't help frowning.

Song Jiang admired his face, he was very familiar with Fan Zheng's operation, and the undercover Lin Chong skillfully entered Xingqing Mansion through his arrangement, so as to kill Wang Lun, the head of the Liangshan bandits, with one blow, and successfully Zhao'an Liangshan group of thieves.

"Ahh

………………

Li Qianshun frowned, the Song army had not yet launched an attack, hoping that everything was still in time.

Li Qianshun frowned and looked at the Song army who was ready to go, since it was not an internal response, and he did not persuade him to surrender, why did the Song army make a position to enter Xingqing Mansion at any time.

The other soldiers did not dare to show weakness, and threw earth-shaking thunder one after another, and fired divine arm crossbows to cover the entry of the Han camp into the city.

No wonder Fan Zheng asked to make his coffin very large, in order to fill more gunpowder.

"What about the siege weapons of the Song army?"

And it is obvious that such an obvious thief hole, the disappearing coffin, and the identity of the drum are all indicating the whereabouts of the coffin.

At that time, once the protection of the city wall is lost, the Song army will be able to enter the Xingqing Mansion without hindrance!

"Fight down! Sure enough, it was a battle, and it didn't cost a single soldier! ”

Fan Zheng also suddenly realized that he knew what everyone thought.

Since it is not an internal and external cooperation, what is Song Jun's move?

Li Liangfu sneered: "Your Majesty, don't worry, in the eyes of the last general, the evil doctor Fan Zheng must be bluffing." ”

Li Qianshun was wearing armor, and although he was not injured, he looked at the collapsed city wall with a dull expression.

At this moment, Li Qianshun looked at the city wall not far away in disbelief, only to see that the originally impregnable city wall of Xingqing Mansion suddenly collapsed a gap, and large pieces of masonry fell from the sky and smashed directly on Li Qianshun's head.

On the city wall of Xingqing Mansion.

At this moment, the Song army was no longer stingy with the use of earth-shaking thunder, and with a roar, more and more Song troops attacked Xingqing Mansion.

Li Qianshun looked at Li Liangfu with dissatisfaction, this person led the army to defeat the evil doctor Fan Zheng, and he was still so arrogant, if it wasn't for the Western Xia royal family, he needed to use it to control the military power, how could he use him.

"Okay, after the city of Xingqing Mansion is broken, this marshal will remember you." Fan was moving to the drum when he was commotioning.

Li Liangfu on the side shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, there is no tunnel leading to the city, Weichen once set up a large urn in the city, responsible for monitoring underground movements, and indeed the Song army wanted to dig a tunnel into the city, but it only stopped after digging half of it." ”

"Yes!" When the drum was in turmoil, he moved to lead the way.

Immediately, everyone's eyes were focused on Song Jiang.

"The evil side, the evil side that has never been defeated!"

Li Qianshun knew in his heart that if he had retreated to Xingqing Mansion before, Western Xia would still have a chance to restore the country, and now that Xingqing Mansion was broken, the cities of Western Xia would not be able to escape the fate of falling, the elite of Western Xia had already been wiped out, and Western Xia had completely lost the possibility of turning over!

Even if he fled to Liao, with Yelu Yanxi's cool character, I am afraid that he would only abandon Western Xia.

The two of them did not believe that Western Xia would not understand this tactic, although this tactic was good, but the hope of success was extremely slim.

What made Li Qianshun even more helpless was that he had already guessed that Fan Zheng's evil recipe must be gunpowder, and finally guessed that it was related to the tunnel, but he never combined the two.

Li Qianshun shook his head and said: "The general trend has gone, the Great Song Dynasty has this evil formula, any city in Western Xia can fight down, and there is no room for Western Xia to turn over!" ”

Song Jiang, the former army, was the first to react and led the heroic battalion to go straight to the gap, striving to attack the city wall as soon as possible.

sneered at the moment: "Not to mention that the people who defend the city are all Western Xia cronies who can't arrange internal response, even if there is an internal response, shouldn't it be the third watch in the middle of the night, raise the fire as a number, and take the opportunity to capture it in one fell swoop. ”

He naturally knew what the generals thought, but Shi Qian had already been recruited by Fan Zheng, and even he didn't know what Shi Qian was doing!

"Ready, let's get started!" Fan Zheng waved his hand.

Sure enough, Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "You are very smart, but you definitely only guessed halfway, this tunnel is indeed leading to Xingqing Mansion, but it does not lead to the city, but stays under the city wall!" ”

"No wonder Fan Shuai swore to go to Xingqing Mansion in a fight, it turned out that he had such an earth-shattering means."

He never imagined that this battle would be so smooth, and the Western Xia, which had plagued the Great Song Dynasty for decades, would be solved so easily.

Under the leadership of the drums, everyone came to a big camp!

However, Fan Zheng looked puzzled and said, "What is the internal response?" ”

The evil doctor Fan Zheng is really ruthless, in order to hide this killer feature, even if he consumes a large amount of earth-shattering thunder to attack Lingzhou, he is not willing to expose it in advance.

He was a tomb robber, and he never thought that his skills of robbing tombs and digging holes could be used to break through the capital of Western Xia.

Fan Zheng nodded slightly and said, "Immediately send a herald to pass on the method of gunpowder blasting the city wall to all the armies, and break through all the cities in Western Xia!" Completely wipe out Western Xia! ”

With the defeat and death of the Western Xia defender Li Liangfu and the capture of the Western Xia lord Li Qianshun, more and more Western Xia soldiers surrendered.

…………………………

While Li Qianshun breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but glance at the city in surprise.

In just one day, the Song army went down to Xingqing Mansion in a battle!

"General Qiyu, our army has completely occupied Xingqing Mansion, taken down the Western Xia lord Li Qianshun and the queen Yelu Nanxian, and the hundred civil and military officials of the Western Xia have all been controlled!" Seed Master Dao said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of no wood to burn! Wechen escorted you away! Li Liangfu was the first to react, and immediately stepped forward to escort Li Qian.

At this moment, a strong vibration accompanied by a huge sound came from under the city wall, which immediately made Li Qianshun shake his body and fall on the city wall.

The city gate that was originally blocked to defend the Song army completely became a prison for the Xia army.

Li Liangfu also reacted, and immediately sent his own soldiers to the various city gates.

"Thank you Fan Shuai!" The drum was in turmoil, and he said excitedly.

The momentum of the Song army was like a rainbow, while the defenders of Western Xia had already been shocked by the destruction of the city, and the army's morale was in turmoil.

"What? Why didn't you report it? Li Qianshun was shocked when he heard this, and angrily reprimanded Li Liangfu.

"Yes!"

The evil doctor Fan Zheng actually dug a tunnel into the city wall of Xingqing Mansion and blew it up with gunpowder.

"Could it be that there is a tunnel leading to the city?" Li Qianshun frowned, and Huo Ran was shocked.

"It's time to move on the drum!" Song Jiang couldn't help but exclaim.

Yang Bangyi had a flash of inspiration and said: "Could it be that Fan Shuai's evil recipe to break the city is to dig a tunnel to lead to Xingqing Mansion, and easily let the army enter Xingqing Mansion. ”

Such a strange operation of the Song army violates the art of war at all, and I am afraid that it cannot be explained except for internal response.

Other Song generals were also greatly excited, Yang Bangyi's idea is very likely to succeed, after all, the soil quality in this area is indeed suitable for digging holes, no wonder Fan Shuai cut off the water source of the Yellow River Trunk Canal in advance, and it turned out that he was also preparing to dig tunnels!

And Chong Pu and Yao Xiong frowned, digging tunnels to attack the city is a common siege method, when the Western Xia army besieged Pingxia City, it also used this method, and finally was recognized by the Song army, stealing chickens and rice, and lost a lot of soldiers.

However, soon, Li Liangfu came back stupidly, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the city gates have been blocked, and the city gate guards have not moved!" ”

Li Qianshun muttered to himself, he thought that he had been very careful, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would underestimate the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

"Haven't you always been curious about the evil recipe of Xingqing Mansion in the first battle, and it's time to make it public today!" Fan Zheng got up and glanced at the generals.

Li Qianshun had a flash of inspiration, and his hairs immediately stood on end, and he was shocked into a cold sweat.

If the evil doctor Fan Zheng exposed this method in advance, he would definitely abandon Xingqing Mansion, withdraw his troops directly, and even hide in the territory of Liao, and Western Xia would inevitably have no chance to make a comeback.

Li Qianshun looked at the camp of the Song army and couldn't help but be puzzled, now that the Song army was preparing to attack the city, it didn't even launch a large-scale siege weapon.

Li Liangfu couldn't help but feel aggrieved in his heart, and bowed his head and said: "Weichen will go to check, and he will definitely not let the Song army enter Xingqing Mansion and kill a single soldier." ”

In an instant, all the Song generals looked at Fan Zheng with shocked eyes, the world is the evil doctor Fan Zheng is invincible, there are people who have crossed Cangshan before, and went down to Dali City in a battle, and now they have put gunpowder into a coffin, and they went down to Xingqing Mansion in a battle.

The Song army also looked at this scene with shock, a fortified city that was no less than Kaifeng City, which originally required the lives of countless Song Army soldiers to capture, was broken with one blow!

The generals looked at Fan Zheng incredulously.

The Song generals shook their heads.

"Could it be that the evil doctor Fan Zheng has an internal response!"

"What an evil doctor Fan Zheng, what a fight down!" Li Qianshun said in despair.

At that moment, in the admiring eyes of the generals, Fan Zheng personally lit the gunpowder fuse, and a gunpowder fuse quickly ignited in the direction of Xingqing Mansion.

However, the evil doctor Fan Zheng was above the Great Song Dynasty, and he had already thought of this strategy, and released in public the bold words of going down to Xingqing Mansion in a war.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, Ben Shuai carried the coffin to the expedition, I and Xixia can only survive one of them, this coffin is not to bury me, that is, to bury Xixia, today it seems that Fan is not needed." ”

Just when everyone was puzzled, they saw that the drum was moving from time to time, and it had slowly come out of the thief hole, and there was still a long gunpowder lead in his hand!

"Qi Qi Fan Shuai, the gunpowder has been placed in the coffin and sealed, and the lead has been connected!" The drum was in turmoil, and Shi Qian said excitedly.

"Idiot! I have warned you a long time ago that the evil doctor Fan Zheng is acting strangely, and you can't be careless in any trouble, but you have omitted to report the things of the tunnel, why do you think the evil doctor Fan is cutting off the water source, it must be to dig the tunnel! Li Qianshun reprimanded angrily.

"Kill!"

"Isn't this the camp where Fan Shuai's coffin is located?" The planter couldn't help but be curious.

"Kill!"

"Be careful, the last time I underestimated the evil doctor Fan Zheng, Dali has already destroyed the country!" Li Qianshun reprimanded.

At that moment, Li Qianshun immediately walked to the city wall and personally investigated the situation of the tunnel.

"Quick! Take control of the gates now! ”

Right now! The Song army was full of war drums, and the whole army was ready to attack, but what was strange was that the Song army did not use siege equipment, and it looked like it would immediately attack Xingqing Mansion.

……………………

Li Liangfu's face changed, and he hurriedly bowed his head and pleaded guilty.

"Qi Fan Shuai, everything is ready, just wait for Fan Shuai's order!" At this moment, a soldier from the heroic battalion came to report.

Under the city of Xingqing Mansion.

"Dig a tunnel!" The generals' hearts moved, this is indeed a tactic!

Yang Bangyi said excitedly: "Yet, I waited all the way to come, I must have found that the soil quality here is very different from the Central Plains, even if it is digging a hole, it is unusually strong, and many people do not build houses, but dig caves to live, warm in winter and cool in summer, if you dig a tunnel, it is enough to dig out a tunnel with several people in parallel, enough for the Song army to quickly attack Xingqing Mansion!" ”

Song Jiang had a flash of inspiration and blurted out: "It must be under the city wall!" ”

The Song generals couldn't help but be shocked and hurriedly followed.

Other Song generals also geared up, obviously thinking that Fan Zheng's move must have an internal response, so they dared to break the city with one blow.

When everyone approached, they saw that the coffin placed in the camp had long since disappeared, and was replaced by a pitch-black hole, looking at the trend of this hole, it was obvious that it was leading to the direction of Xingqing Mansion.

In the camp of the Song army, the seed master said excitedly: "Fan Shuai, I don't know when it should be launched, we can cooperate and attack Xingqing Mansion in one fell swoop!" ”

The hearts of the Song generals also sank suddenly, looking at Fan Zheng in confusion, not understanding Fan Zheng's series of strange operations.

……………………

The reason why he speculated so much was because he was familiar with the identity of Gu Shang Sao Shi Qian, Gu Shang Sao was a man of a thousand doors, and the reason why he was wanted by the imperial court was that the biggest crime was tomb robbery, and the most common tomb robbery was to deal with the coffin underground.

Li Liangfu frowned and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen dares to guarantee that the Song army definitely did not dig a tunnel to enter Xingqing Mansion, maybe the tunnel collapsed, or the tunnel was flooded, since the Song army has given up the tunnel, Weichen did not dare to bother Your Majesty!" ”

The Song generals were suddenly shocked in their hearts, and at this moment they really understood Fan Zheng's evil recipe, dug tunnels to the city wall of Xingqing Mansion, used the coffin to preserve gunpowder, and made a super large explosive bag to completely blow up the city wall.

"Under the walls!" Yang Bangyi's face froze, it is possible to break through the city wall when he leads to the city, and how to break the city under the city wall!

"You know that this place is the camp where the coffin of this commander is stored, do you know where the coffin is?" Fan Zheng asked rhetorically.

"The evil side of the battle! Evil Doctor Fan Zheng really didn't say anything crazy! ”

"Yes!" Seed Master Dao said excitedly.

"Also, our army has been on the march for several months, and the imperial court must be quite worried, it's time, it's time to report the victory to the imperial court." Fan Zheng looked back at Kaifeng City and said with a smile.
