"Li Dutou, you are ready to take your subordinates to the top immediately."

"General Wei, let the brothers take a breath." Li Ping said.

"Look at the top of the city, how to breathe, hold on for another day and a half."

As soon as Qin Bo finished speaking, a stone projectile flew in, and landed right on the thatched house next to him, smashing a hole in the roof, and falling down again, and the sound of the rafters of the house breaking.

"Grandma, how can you hold on for two days." Qin Bo thought in his heart.

"Either General Qin, you will give me the ten soldiers you are detaining."

"What do you want those ten people for?"

"You see, don't I have only sixty-one people left?"

"Those ten people are cowardly and unstable in battle, and they should be executed according to military law."

"But why didn't General Qin kill him?"

"I'm fighting, I'm afraid of ruining morale."

"Military law is military law, and it should also be dealt with as appropriate, these recruits have not been on the battlefield, and it is normal to be a little afraid. It would be nice to let them see some blood. ”

"This is Ming Gong's military order."

"Ming Gong is not a person who admits death, besides, if Ming Gong is in Gyeongju, can he give such a ridiculous order?"

It's what you think is an order from the Good Ming Gong! Wei Qingzong said in his heart, Zhang Ji's order is not equivalent to Wang Ju's order.

"Yes, if you want, I will give them to you

After a while, ten recruits who were "afraid of death" brought in.

Li Ping pointed to a very young soldier and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Song Xiaoliu."

"Where?"

"Luoyang people."

"It's all the forbidden soldiers of Luoyang."

A veteran on the side rolled his eyes, Li Ping was talking nonsense, and the officers and soldiers of the two battalions of Slush Fort at this time. The first battalion was Baojie from Zheng Baiqu. That is, the battalion where Li Ping is located. One is the ban on soldiers. However, there are not only forbidden soldiers in the capital, but also some forbidden soldiers in Luoyang, Yingtianfu and Daimyo's Mansion. The forbidden soldiers of the other battalion are the forbidden soldiers from Luoyang, so aren't they all Luoyang children?

"Why are you afraid of death?"

"I, I ......"

"I have relatives at home and don't want to die, right? But the more you are afraid of death, the faster you will die. Originally, General Wei planned to execute you according to military law, but I pleaded with General Wei. and I will bring you under my account. If you don't die, you are equal to dying once, are you afraid of death this time? ”

"I'm not afraid." The young soldier lowered his head and whispered.

"Then prepare immediately, and we will go up soon." Li Ping said.

As soon as the words fell, Wei Qingzong shouted at him: "The left city wall is dangerous, Li Ping, immediately lead people to support." ”

"Up." Li Ping yelled.

Sixty-five men rushed to the city walls, six more were seriously wounded, and there was no way to fight.

The rain of arrows in the sky fell like a swarm of locusts during a plague of locusts. Sixty-five men rushed to the city wall in a rain of arrows. The shield in his hand kept making the sound of arrows clashing. Two more soldiers let out screams and arrows rolled down. I don't know if it's dead or alive.

However, Li Ping didn't have the heart to turn his head to look, the city was in danger, and Xia people kept climbing up the city.

In fact, if it is a normal walled fort, even if it is a thousand people, and the enemy has a little more troops, everyone is sure to defend it for several days. But the slush fort is not a normal fort, it is said to be a fort, and it is not as large as some real post shops in Hebei.

In addition, after the Song and Xia negotiated peace, the border was peaceful for a long time, even if the Western Xia came to plunder later, and fought in Dashun City, it was also from the line of Anjiang Fort and Dashun City, so almost no one went to repair the Slush Fort.

Originally, the fort wall was not high, and it was in disrepair, and the fort wall in many places collapsed again. However, the area is too small, and it is not even as large as the garden area of some wealthy families in Chang'an. Nearly 1,000 people were stuck inside, almost all of them were panicked. But because of the small area, the shoddy trebuchets of the Western Xia could throw stone projectiles into the city.

Yesterday the enemy army came to camp under the city, and instead of attacking, they made siege equipment, including siege ladders and trebuchets. An onslaught was launched early this morning.

After the three onslaughts, Li Ping's 100 people sacrificed 39 people, and 6 people were seriously injured and put in a relatively strong house for treatment, but in the end, God knows whether they can survive or not.

The first batch of Song troops who went up to the top suffered heavy casualties, and Wei Qingzong had to replace the second group, but it was just afternoon, and he couldn't stand it again.

In fact, Wei Qingzong misunderstood, this order was really not given by Wang Ju, but by Zhang Qi, and Wang Ju questioned it for two days last night.

This is still a dialectic with eight, or a dialectic of mercy not in charge of soldiers.

It's not that Zhang Qi is ruthless, but he can't be too kind to women. Look at how much trouble Yao Ji's approach has brought. For the sake of the final victory, the officers and men of these two battalions had to be forced hard.

"All in place," Wei Qingzong shouted, and then pulled his knife and rushed to the east side. Where there are ten tiger cannons, they bring heavy casualties to the Tanguts. Therefore, the Tanguts attacked the city, and these ten tiger cannons became the primary target of the Tanguts.

One by one, the Xia soldiers pounced fiercely, and the Song army had no choice but to fight, seeing that the Song soldiers were getting fewer and fewer, and even the soldiers who fired the tiger cannon stopped firing and pulled out their knives in a tragic battle. But what was even more dangerous was the erection of one siege ladder after another below, because this section of the city wall was almost out of control, and one after another Western Xia soldiers kept climbing up.

"Brethren, teams one to five smashed with rolling stones! Six to ten teams will kill the enemy with me! Li Ping shouted again. After drinking in the front, the back held a rattan shield in one hand, blocking the bow and arrows shot below, and rushed towards the head of the city with a knife in that tragic battle.

"Be careful." Just as he was hacking the fourth enemy soldier to death, a shout came from behind.

I don't know who shouted it, and I don't know who it was to remind me to be careful, Li Ping continued to raise his knife and kill the fifth enemy.

Just then, he heard some cracking sounds from the armor behind him, and felt a pain in his back.

He turned his head and saw that Song Xiaoliu, who had just spoken to him, and another subordinate were fighting with a person who looked like a Western Xia general. In the hand of that Xia general is a Xia State sword, which is actually a weapon that combines the horizontal sword of the Tang Dynasty and the straight sword of Tubo, and it is also the most common weapon of the Western Xia army.

However, the Xia State Sword that the Song Dynasty refers to is not the common Xia State Sword. It is the Xia Guojian that is really Seiko and smelted. Xia Guojian who generally fights on the battlefield. Not necessarily a good sword. But this Xia general seems to be the real Xia Guojian in his hands.

Therefore, the armor on Li Ping's body was all the armor created by Wang Ju in the Ordnance Supervision later. He felt a pain and turned his head, that Xia general had already fought with his two subordinates, which showed that the Xia Guo Sword in his hand almost ignored his own armor, quickly slashed it, and quickly pulled it out.

But that Xia general was very brave, and with just one sword, he shook Song Xiaoliu with the knife in his hand. However, out of the corner of his eye, Li Ping saw a Xia soldier on the side stabbing him with a sword while he was stunned.

Li Ping couldn't turn around. So he took a step forward, swords knocked each other, and the sword in the hand of the Xia soldier was deflected, and his knife was wiped off the sword, and the Xia soldier screamed in pain, as for where this wipe was wiped to the Xia soldier, Li Ping didn't care, he once again turned his body around with the help of the forward momentum.

Song Xiaoliu said happily: "Li Dutou, you're fine." ”

That's a distraction. Song Xiaoliu finished shouting, and the sword of Na Xia also fell. Pierced through his belly armor. The Xia general also stirred the sword twice before pulling the sword out.

In the blink of an eye, red, black, and yellow all came out of Song Xiaoliu's armor.

"Pain,...... Niangniang," Song Xiaoliu clutched his stomach and shouted, and then leaned limply against the wall and collapsed.

"Damn, shit!" Li Ping shouted twice in his heart, and then exchanged his two-handed shield knives, shielded the right side of his body with a rattan shield, and pounced on the Xia general. The two began to fight.

The sword slammed more than a dozen times in the air, it was indeed a good sword, and the knife in Li Ping's hand was knocked out of several gaps.

bumped again, but Li Ping's body took the opportunity to rush over, and the rattan shield in his right hand also let go, hugging the person, and the two rolled to the ground at the same time. Seeing that the two commanders were in distress, taxis from both sides rushed to the rescue. So this narrow part of the city immediately became bloody.

The two rolled twice, just as Li Ping flipped to it, and in a hurry, he let go of the knife and grabbed the neck of the Xia general with both hands.

That Xia general was also fierce, and kept slashing Li Ping's thigh with a sword, Li Ping just didn't let go, and after a while, that Xia general stopped struggling with his hands and feet.

Li Ping let go of his hand, snatched the Xia Guojian in his hand, endured the pain in his leg and stood up, and glanced at Song Xiaoliuzi again, Song Xiaoliuzi was already motionless, but his eyes were wide and unwillingly open.

"Kill." Li Ping dragged his wounded leg and limped towards the enemy again.

The Xia general seemed to have a good status, and when he saw him dead, the Xia soldiers on the city were a little stunned, and Li Ping's fierceness boosted morale, and the situation in the city was finally stabilized. One big stone after another fell, and some people braved the rain of arrows to tear down the siege ladder. As a result, there were fewer and fewer Xia soldiers on the city, and seeing that this wave of attacks seemed fruitless, the rear of Western Xia sounded the horn of retreat.

"Xiao He, look at how many brothers are left."

"Nineteen more died." The detainee He Jin said, and said, "Li Dutou, do you want to go down and bandage your wounds?" ”

Li Ping's injury was not light, a big bloody wound was drawn on his back, the flesh was rolled out, and the Xia general was stabbed several times on his leg, although Li Ping leaned on, the blood was flowing down vigorously.

"I can't retreat, let the people below get some gauze to come up." Li Ping gasped and said.

Slush Castle was fought fiercely today, but the rest of the place was quiet.

Dashun City, let the Xixia people instigate, go around to the rear, the north city is the west mountain, there is no way to climb up, the south city can attack, but the ice wall is also erected. However, Liang Yibury was also dead set on Dashun City for the time being, and only sent soldiers and horses to trap them.

Anjiang Fort is also fighting fiercely, but not as fiercely as Slush Fort. After all, Anjiang Fort is tall and strong, and there are more troops in the city, with a full eight battalions of officers and soldiers, plus nearly 1,000 strong men and horses. Therefore, after several unsuccessful attacks launched by Liang Yongneng, he automatically stopped.

But the crisis of Anjiang Fort also came, and Brother Ruding came to the back of Anjiang Fort safely with the army. There was no danger all the way, and he didn't expect it to be dangerous. Either it may be that Anjiang Fort will send ambush troops, but under Liang Yongneng's attack, will Anjiang Fort dare to divide that little force? Either it may be that Rouyuanzhai can also divide its troops, but in the face of Liang Yiburi's main army, Rouyuanzhai is even more difficult, do they dare to divide their troops? There are also even more pitiful troops in Xiguzhai, which almost don't need to be considered, there are too few troops, the road is more rugged, and it is farther away, it is impossible to divide the troops to come to Anjiang Fort to risk an ambush behind it. Besides, he also sent a large number of scouts to investigate, and he didn't want to make the mistake that Ye Fuma made in Huachi County back then.

However, today they can't attack immediately, they must set up camp, and make siege equipment, anyway, this Dashun city and Anjiang Fort cut off the road, so that the Western Xia march is very hard.

In addition, several more outposts were placed to monitor the road in the direction of Rouyuanzhai, and even two more outposts were placed in the east to prevent the Song army in Donggu from "getting muddy" and venturing to come.

This also proves his prudence in the use of troops.

The more cautious he is, the more dangerous Anjiang Fort will be, and tomorrow, when he is attacked from both sides, the situation of Anjiang Fort will be even more dangerous than that of Slush Fort.

But for the time being, Anjiang Fort was quiet, Yao Lin stood at the head of the city and said: "I understand, Liang Yongneng has launched a fierce attack since yesterday, and it turned out that he wanted to contain my troops, so that this Xia army could reach my back safely. ”

Water is impermanent, soldiers are impermanent, what Sun Tzu said, everyone will calculate, it depends on who can have the last laugh.

It was also very quiet in front of Rouyuan Village, and Liang Yibury stood in front of Rouyuan Village laughing.

Li Sangou also used the method of the Song army in front of Dashun City, and built a long ice wall on the soil where Rouyuan Village was located, which was linked to the peaks on both sides.

Including the two ravines on the sides, two small Xiaoice walls were also built. If you want to attack, come from the front, but it is impossible to climb down the mountain, because there are posts on the left and right peaks, and they can climb the mountain with their own people, and they can climb the mountain at a faster speed, and then condescend and calmly respond to the battle.

"Good idea." Liang Yi buried the road.

So there is this relaxed mentality, and the reason is very simple, that is, there is no ice wall behind Rouyuan Village. Then why is Liang Yi in a hurry, when Anjiang Fort is broken, Liang Yongneng and Brother Ruding's forces will be combined into one, and they will attack from both sides, and they will break through Rouyuan Village.

Therefore, he ordered his men to set up camp and prepare siege equipment.

Liyuan Fort is calmer.

In fact, Du Dora didn't want to forcibly attack Liyuan Fort at all. However, Yao Ji was worried about Zhong Zhong at the head of the city, so although the Xia army did not attack the city, it sent a team of rangers to the rear, and some of the rangers went to the direction of Fengchuan Fort, which made him most worried, it may not only break Wang Ju's arrangement, but more fatal is that Fengchuan Fort is really empty now, that is, send reinforcements from the rear, it is impossible to arrive today, and even tomorrow may not be able to arrive...... But now he is besieged by the Tangut people, and he has basically lost contact with the outside world. So now Yao Yu is so anxious that he wants to hit the city wall. (To be continued......) R1292
