Chapter 265: Dominating Ten Thousand Cities
Xiazhou city is on the east bank of Qingshui, a tributary of Wuding River; leaning on the Great Wall, it has always been known for its dangerous passes, this place is also the Tongwan city built by Helian Bo in the era of Wuhu Chaohua, it is extremely firm, in the time of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xia Zhou is placed, Tang is under the jurisdiction of Shuofang Jiedu envoy, it is extremely dangerous, after the Xixia occupies this place, it is strengthened again, countless military villages are set up around it, layer upon layer, it becomes the frontier position of the Western Xia invasion of the Great Song Dynasty.
This time, Yue Fei led the army to conquer the Western Xia, and the sword went to the front, marching from the west of Yanzhou to the land of Hetang and Tubo, the reason why this is so is because the Western Xia is too dangerous, if it is attacked, it will inevitably lose the army, which is not conducive to Zhao Shu's plan to rectify Guanzhong with the power of war.
But this Xiazhou is like a sharp knife stuck in the throat of Guanzhong, which also makes Zhao Shu like a fish in his throat, not vomiting or unhappy.
In the name of sacrifice, Zhao Shu brought the army here from the west, and then used the sacrifice to strengthen the morale of the soldiers, and took the lead in killing the Western Xia army that monitored him in one go, which was to create suddenness, and not let the ministers stop it, let alone let people leak the slightest rumor.
At this time, when Zhao Shu marched into the army, Li Gang and the others also figured out these things, and their hearts were full of bitterness, so they could only follow the army quickly.
And Zhao Shu led the army all the way to the sky, and saw the outline of Xiazhou City from a distance, and in the roar of the earth, the defenders of Xiazhou City also saw this army from a distance, trembling, and Li Yancheng lay on his horse and yelled at the defenders of the city gate: "Close the city gate!"
"Close the gates!"
As soon as Li Yancheng's hoarse shout came out, he was drowned in the sound of iron hooves, and the sound of the clanging war horses, like a dense drum beat, continued to bombard the hearts of the defenders of Xiazhou City, and at this moment the entire Xiazhou defenders also immediately showed excellent military quality, and a team of millions of Western Xia cavalry rushed out of the city gate in an instant, and countless soldiers began to close the city gate.
When I heard the sound of horses' hooves in the castle lord's mansion. The face of the Western Xia general Tahai changed drastically, and he didn't even approve the armor, he immediately grabbed the huge iron spear, shouted to the guards, and scolded angrily: "Huata, this stupid donkey, I asked him to monitor the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, how did he monitor, how did he stop it, how did he let the Great Song cavalry drive straight in." When was this northwest place the land of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers and horses. ”
"Where's the Flower Tower?
Tahai was furious like a mad lion. His whole body trembled, and his face was full of mockery.
In the face of Tahai's rage, the surrounding guards said directly: "I just heard from Li Yancheng's guards that Huata was killed in battle!"
Hearing the report of the guards, Ta Hai's angry expression was stunned, and he stopped and turned his head to look: "Died in battle? How can it be killed in battle, this flower tower is also a strong man at the peak of the Gangqi Realm, only one step away from the Yin and Yang Realm, how can he die in battle." Is it self-cutting?"
"General, Huata was nailed to the ground with a single shot. ”
"How is that possible? Who is it? Who is in charge of the troops?"
"General, the soldiers and horses rushing are a man wearing gold armor, Li Yancheng said that it is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"
"Emperor, Emperor!"
Tahai's expression changed dramatically in an instant. His face was incredible, and his whole body trembled, and then his face showed ecstasy: "Haha, great." Catch the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, catch the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"
When Tahai was in ecstasy, Li Yancheng, who was helped by two guards, suddenly changed his face. Panting loudly, he said: "No! No, the general must not, at this time, the Song army is sharp, and it is invincible!"
"How not to be able to be the enemy, my Western Xia cavalry is invincible in a hundred battles, how not to be able to be the enemy. There are still tens of thousands of troops in my Xiazhou City, and there are hundreds of thousands of surrounding military stockades, so it is easy to hold this Great Song Emperor. ”
"General, in order to stop the cavalry, the refutation has also sent troops!"
"Order the army, go out of the city immediately, and capture the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty alive," Ta Hai roared angrily, his expression uncontrollable with excitement.
"Don't, General, this Great Song Emperor is using himself as bait to attract my Xiazhou City army out of the city!"
Li Yancheng pounced violently, wanting to stop Ta Hai, but at this time, Ta Hai smiled proudly and looked at Li Yancheng with disdain: "Li Yancheng, I think you are stupid, when did I fear the field battle in Western Xia, it was the Song people who hid in the city like a turtle, not my warriors of Great Xia!"
In Tahai's angry roar, he directly stepped on the war horse prepared by the guards, galloped towards the outside of the city, and when he saw Tahai leaving, Li Yancheng yelled at his guards: "Help me get on the horse, help me get on the horse, we will go back to Lingzhou immediately, go back to Lingzhou City immediately!"
"My lord, my body can't stand it. ”
A guard said with some unbearability.
"Let's go, or we won't be able to go!"
In Li Yancheng's roar, several guards immediately helped Li Yancheng to get on the war horse, and then Li Yancheng immediately urged the war horse to run towards Lingzhou City from another city gate.
At this time, outside the city, the refutation also looked at the golden figure in front of tens of thousands of cavalry, and roared with joy on his face: "The Song people are so stupid, kill that golden figure for me!"
Hundreds of cavalry slashed out towards Zhao Shu, seeing these cavalry, Zhao Shu's heart was slightly condensed, and he had a clearer understanding of the bravery of the Xixia people, if he encountered such a powerful cavalry, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty would definitely have retreated to the urn city, and there would definitely be no cavalry who would dare to go out of the city to fight to the death, but now these more than 100 cavalry would dare to attack the tens of thousands of troops led by themselves.
"Xixia must be strangled, and it can't be made strong in Xixia!"
When Zhao Shu was thinking in his heart, he casually killed the Western Xia cavalry who rushed up, and hundreds of cavalry were like a piece of wood directly submerged by infinite water, and the refutation in the wild laughter was also killed the moment he waved his weapon.
It's just that Zhao Shu didn't rush into the city, just waiting for the Western Xia army to come out completely, otherwise tens of thousands of cavalry would attack a fortified city, and there would inevitably be heavy casualties.
The rumbling sound came from the city of Xiazhou, like thunder, frightening, when the thunder sounded, tens of thousands of Western Xia cavalry rushed out of the city gate.
"Kill the Western Thief, strengthen my great Song Shengwei!"
Zhao Shu took the lead, holding an iron spear, like a huge fist slammed into the Western Xia army.
"Capture the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty alive!"
A roar came from the sound of the army, and countless Xixia soldiers trembled with excitement, all of them came towards Zhao Shu's siege, but when countless Xixia soldiers wanted to get close to Zhao Shu, they were directly killed by the surrounding sword guards, even if there were masters approaching, they were also directly killed by Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu and the sword guards of these congenital masters rushed into the battle formation, and quickly approached the central army formation of the big array.
"How dare the Western Xia army fight me!"
Zhao Shu opened his mouth and roared, and the voice spread throughout the battlefield, but when Zhao Shu's voice came out, Tahai's face changed suddenly: "The essence of fist intent?
Ta Hai's face collapsed in an instant, he was not a reckless and stupid general, he understood in an instant that he had been fooled, this emperor was really baiting himself as Li Yancheng said, but this bait was not a bait at all, but a giant dragon.
But at this time, it was too late to retreat, and at this moment, Tahai played a battle flag that fought endlessly, which made all the Xixia soldiers frightened, but they had to go forward to kill.
Zhao Shu used his own bait to attract a large number of Western Xia soldiers, and the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty covered and killed from the left and right, and tens of thousands of cavalry collided together and entangled, completely losing the impact of the cavalry, and completely relied on instinct to kill.
The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty have already tried their best, this time they have been running for hundreds of miles, and they are trying their best to kill, if it is not for the elite soldiers, and Zhao Shu is drumming up morale, I am afraid that they are already tired.
This earth-shattering battle continued, but Tahai discarded his handsome flag, fled quickly, and entered the urn city.
"Close the city!
As soon as Tahai fled into the inner city, he roared again and again, and countless defenders immediately abandoned the gate of the city outline, and also gave up the army fighting outside the city, completely closed the gate of the inner city, and guarded the urn city, and the city defense equipment on the city outline was also included in the urn city for a time.
The city of three miles still has seven miles of Guo, this Xiazhou city is a military stronghold, the outline of the city is huge, the inner city has also been built a huge fortress, once they close the urn city, it will be a bitter battle.
In Tahai's angry roar, Zhang Jun, who led the troops, immediately roared, directly led hundreds of people, and rushed towards it with countless arrows, and when he reached the gate of the urn city, there were only a dozen horsemen left, but it was these dozen horsemen who directly blocked the city gate.
"Kill these people!"
Tahai roared, and the soldiers around him suddenly rushed to the city gate one after another, Zhang Jun roared, ignoring the shot war horse, and went directly to Tahai to kill, this time he understood that His Majesty was behind him, this was a good opportunity for him to make contributions and enter the Governor's Mansion.
