Although the navy sailed with all its might, the fully loaded fleet still did not run past the fast horses, and the fast horses of Shunzhou entered Xingqing Mansion first.

The fleet was still several miles from the city, and fast horses were constantly coming from the shore to investigate.

Seeing this, Han Shizhong said helplessly: "It seems that Xingqing Mansion has already learned the news." ”

Chao Yong said with a smile: "Then we will let the soldiers and horses of Xingqing Mansion see my Liang's elite soldiers, the fleet will dock, and the army will form a formation." ”

Li Jun heard the prince's order, so he also commanded the fleet to dock.

As soon as the gangplank hit the shore, Chao Yong was the first to walk to the shore.

A Western Xia cavalryman who was inquiring about the news on Pegasus in the distance saw Chao Yong get off the boat, and immediately screamed, turned his horse and ran this way, and at the same time stretched out his bow and arrows, ready to make a meritorious service.

Chao Yong was also thinking about getting a war horse to travel, and when he saw this guy coming to the door, he was also overjoyed, he tore off the overlord's bow and shot at the person with an arrow.

The Xixia scout saw Chao Yong release the arrow, and was just about to dodge, but the iron arrow had already come to him, and he fell off the horse with a scream.

The war horse ran forward for dozens of steps before stopping.

Chao Yong saw that the war horse was only ten feet away from him, and quickly stepped forward to grab the horse.

The war horse saw Chao Yong approaching, and was just about to run, but Chao Yong had already rushed over and turned over on the horse with an arrow step, and clamped his legs hard, so that the war horse could be honest.

The party members of the two nearby sentry detectives saw Chao Yong grabbing the horse, and when they whistled, they beat their horses together and came to Chao Yong.

"Dead"

Chao Yong hit his horse to meet him, and he shot two arrows in a row.

As soon as the bowstring sounded, two iron arrows had already pierced the chest and abdomen of the party members. The powerful bow power and huge iron arrows of the Divine Arm Bow allowed Chao Yong not to shoot the vital point, but to shoot at will between the chest and abdomen, as long as the shot was a big hole, which was enough to kill. The sophisticated iron armor of Western Xia could not stop the powerful shooting of the divine arm crossbow.

The cavalry of the sentinel in the distance saw that Chao Yong could shoot people more than a hundred paces away, and they did not dare to go up and send him to death. Just observed the soldiers and horses from afar.

Chao Yong rushed up and led the two war horses, but when he saw that no one was any closer, he had to lead the horses back.

"Liu Qi, Han Shizhong."

The two of them heard Chao Yong's call and hurriedly ran over.

Chao Yong handed over the reins of the horse and said with a smile: "Go and grab some more war horses and come back." ”

"Yes."

The two took the reins of the horse, turned over on the horse, turned around the horse a few times, familiarized themselves with the war horse, and then headed towards the Western Xia scouts cruising in the distance.

The party members who are fierce by nature do not see as the previous marksman. The courage grew again, and two people who felt that they were skilled in arching and horses came up to meet them.

Han Shizhong also used a strong bow, although the range was not as good as Chao Yong's overlord bow, but it was still much farther than the standard bow and arrow. Before the Western Xia people could open their bows, Han Shizhong had already shot one person off his horse with one arrow.

Liu Qi's arrows are mainly accurate. The bow was not very strong, and almost at the same time it was paired with one of the remaining Tangut people.

Although the remaining Tangut people were a little frightened, they also knew that it was almost impossible to escape from Han Shizhong's strong bow, and only by shooting the two of them could they survive. Therefore, he concentrated more and wanted to shoot Liu Qi first, who had already opened his bow and arrows.

"Dead"

The two of them loosened their strings almost at the same time, and both arrows were shot at each other's throats.

The Xixia spy flashed a sharp arrow from the side of his head, and then went to the quiver to get the arrow with his right hand. But to his horror, he found that there were two arrows in the back, one left and one right, and no matter which way he dodged, he would face the second arrow. It's too late to dodge, and it passes through the throat.

Liu Qi shot three arrows in a row. The sharp arrow had already come to him, and between the lightning and flint, he copied the arrow in his hand with his right hand.

The two stepped forward and grabbed the horse. Chained to the saddle, he pressed for the spies in the distance.

The Western Xia spies did not come to die again. As soon as the whistle sounded, they all beat their horses and went to Xingqing Mansion.

Although the Western Xia people are brave, they are all talented generals who see Liang Guo's shots, and they will not be so stupid that they will be sent to death all the time.

Liu Qi and Han Shizhong couldn't catch up, so they had to turn their horses back.

As soon as the two of them approached, Zhang Qing had already come up and said, "The flying stone of the last general is ready to be used right away." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Then give the war horse to General Zhang and General Sun." ”

Although Yao Pingzhong was a little unhappy, he was defeated by Zhang Qingfeishi that day, and he was not good at speaking. Sun Li is the commander of ten thousand people, and the highest rank among the people who went on this expedition should naturally have horses.

The army lined up and came towards Xingqing Mansion.

Xiao Heda, who had just taken over the military power in the city, heard that more than a dozen large ships were coming from Shunzhou to Xingqing Mansion by water, and he did not rush to report to Li Renai, but sent dozens of fast horses to investigate.

Hearing that there were really soldiers and horses attacking, he quickly entered the palace to report Li Renai.

Li Renai heard that the soldiers and horses of Daliang actually drove straight into attack Xingqing Mansion, and couldn't help but exclaim: "There are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, can Xingqing Mansion hold it?" ”

Xiao Heda said in his chest: "Don't worry, the lord of the country, I have sent someone to scout carefully, and the soldiers and horses of the Liang State are only about 5,000 people." It is undoubtedly a fool's dream that 5,000 people want to attack Xingqing Mansion. Moreover, the soldiers and horses of the Liang State came from afar, and they were already a tired division, so the last general asked for an order to lead the troops out of the city to break the enemy, so as not to harass the city of the Liang soldiers and horses. ”

Li Renai said: "The soldiers and horses of the Liang State may come prepared, and they may fall into the enemy's plan when they go out of the city to meet the enemy." This king thought that it was safe to hold on to the reinforcements after all, and when Dingzhou, Huaizhou, Jingzhou, and Shunzhou were surrounded by soldiers and horses, it would be easy to destroy the invading enemy. ”

Xiao Heda had just grasped the military power, and he was trying to establish some military exploits and consolidate the power in his hands. Although he also felt that Li Renai's words were reasonable, it was difficult for him to accept them. If he was frightened by the 5,000 Liang soldiers and closed the city, even if the Liang soldiers and horses were finally exterminated, it had little to do with him, and the soldiers and horses in the city would still feel that he was afraid of war, which was not conducive to mastering the military power in the future.

Xiao Heda said: "According to the report of the spies, the ships of the Liang Kingdom are full of soldiers, and they should not have brought much grain and grass. If we can't defend it, the soldiers and horses of the Liang State will inevitably plunder the grain and grass outside the city, and then they can continue to attack the city. ”

Li Renai said: "Even if they have grain and grass, it will not be difficult to exterminate them when the soldiers and horses of the four states are encircled." ”

"If the firearms of the girder can really blow through the city walls, I am afraid that the city will not be enough to hold on."

With the withdrawal of the defeated army, the sound of thunderbolts, which could blow through the city walls, had spread in Western Xia.

Only then did Li Renai think of the firearm, and said in a panic: "If you can't hold on, won't you be even more uncertain about going to war?" If you lose your troops, there will be no one to defend the city. ”

Xiao Heda said: "After the last general heard about the firearms of the Liang Kingdom, he thought hard about countermeasures. If it stands still, even the Iron Harrier will not be able to resist firearms attacks, but if the cavalry disperses the impact, the firearms will not kill many people. As soon as cavalry rushed into the formation, their firearms were useless. ”

Li Renai thought for a while and said, "How can the Han people's divine arm crossbow deal with it?" ”

Xiao Heda shook his head and said: "The Divine Arm Crossbow is the same as firearms, only engagement can make them useless, and the Western Xia Iron Cavalry has never been afraid to charge into battle." (To be continued)
