Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Seeing the Xixia soldiers and horses under the city receding like a tide, Han Shizhong also leaned against the city wall a little tired.  If it had been a few days ago, he would have used a strong bow to send them off again.

    After more than ten days of defense, the soldiers who defended the city exhausted their physical strength.  As soon as the enemy retreats, take the time to recharge your batteries and prepare for the next fight.

    After the Xixia soldiers and horses besieged the city, they only conducted tentative attacks in the first few days, and then attacked from all sides.  More than half of the Xixia people suffered casualties, and less than 10,000 of the 30,000 Xixia troops in the city were left.  Five of Liu Zhongwu's nine sons were killed.

    Han Shizhong is already thirty-three this year. He joined the army at the age of seventeen and has been in the army for sixteen years now, but he is still an inferior general.

    When he first joined the army, he killed generals and captured passes, but his merit book was compromised, and his future achievements would always come and go.  A few days ago, he captured Fang La alive and was captured by Xin Xingzong, and he was almost punished by military regulations.

    When Han Shizhong heard that Liangshan soldiers and horses raided Tokyo and destroyed the Song Dynasty, Han Shizhong's first thought was to be happy. He was not happy that the Song Dynasty was destroyed, but that the credit Xin Xingzong had grabbed was useless.

    The army rushed back day and night. Han Shizhong heard that Mr. Lao Zhong, the manager, had surrendered to Daliang, and called on all the generals of the Western Army to surrender to Daliang and fight against Xixia together.

    Han Shizhong then came up with the idea of ??joining Lao Zhongjinglue.

    Liu Yanqing did not dare to stand up for the achievements of his subordinates, and he was both a leader and a mouse.  He was promoted under the old minister, Mr. Zhong, but he was dismissed. He exercised his rights as the general manager of Fuyan Road, but he got close to the eunuch Tong Guan.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUTOUT  Therefore, when Han Shizhong was about to run away and seek refuge with Mr. Lao Zhong, the Song Dynasty had already perished, so even if he really ran away, he would not be considered a deserter.

    Just when he was about to run away with a few of his close soldiers, he heard Liu Yanqing agreeing to surrender to Daliang. This was the call of his soldiers.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? by Xianggong.  The families of both of them are in the northwest, and now only Daliang can support the Western Army. This is the best choice now.  Since Lao Zhongjinglue said that Xixia could be defeated, they would not consider surrendering to Xixia.

    Han Shizhong did not run away either, and asked Liu Yanqing to lead troops to reinforce Mr. Laozhong.

    Liu Yanqing also knew that troubled times were coming. He believed that he did not have the ability to compete in the world, and he only wanted to choose the person who was most likely to dominate the world.  The most powerful people in the world are Chao Gai, Wang Qing, Tian Hu, and Tong Guan. Although Wang Qing and Tian Hu are not small, in the eyes of the Western Army.  The two of them are just grass bandits. It doesn't take more than 20,000 Western troops to wipe them out.  On their way back, they received a letter from Tong Guan, saying that a Southern Song Dynasty was established in Jiangnan.  Liu Yanqing was not optimistic about Tong Guan either.  Without the support of the Western Army, he would not be able to make any trouble, not to mention the remaining forces of Fang La constraining him.

    Only Chao Gai seems to have the most aura of being the master of the world. In the past two years, he has won many hearts for Tian Xingdao and defeated the 200,000 Song Dynasty army. He should also have an elite army under his command.  After conquering Tokyo, he gained the wealth of Tokyo.  The most important thing is to get the support of the old manager Xianggong.

    In Liu Yanqing¡¯s view, whoever gets the support of the Western Army has the best chance of unifying the world. The Hebei frontier army and the Jiangnan army have long been decayed and have lost their combat effectiveness.  Even if they were defeated by Xixia.  The remnants of the Western Army will inevitably withdraw to the Central Plains. It is impossible for everyone to fight to the death.

    At that time, it will probably be the Western Army that decides the ownership of the world, and the most influential one among the Western Army is Lao Zhongjinglue Xianggong.

    He was also worried that his close relationship with Tong Guan in the past two years would dissatisfy the old manager and he wanted to make up for it.  However, Mr. Lao Zhong, the manager, asked him to return to Fangyan Road, but he did not dare to delay the military affairs.

    Seeing Han Shizhong volunteering to go to the front line.  Han Shizhong was immediately given a thousand men and horses and asked him to listen to the orders of Mr. Lao Zhongjinglue.

    So Han Shizhong was sent by Mr. Laozhong to suppress the army.

    Seeing the Xixia people coming to pick up the corpses below, Han Shizhong also picked up a corpse and threw it down.

    The rest of the soldiers also threw the corpses on top of the city and let the Xixia people pick them up.

    Even soldiers whose brothers died at the hands of the Xixia people did not fire an arrow. This is the tradition of the northwest battlefield.  Unless they were defeated and there was no time to pick up the bodies of their comrades, they would definitely pick them up and bury them.  This was a comfort for his colleagues, and also a comfort for himself. He might be the one who died tomorrow. No one wanted to be thrown under the city after death and let wild dogs bite him.

    The defenders of the city will also cooperate, because the rotting corpses will stink. If they are not buried, the entire city will stink in a few days, and the corpses will bring plague.

    ??This is something that both the Western Army and the Xixia people know. The plague is a demon, and no one dares to release it.

    No matter how brutal the fighting between the two sides was, they were unwilling to use corpses as weapons.  because of themThey are all civilized peoples, and what they compete for is land where they can reproduce, not ghosts.  Moreover, the battlefield is not far from the homes of both sides, and no one dares to release the demon.

    After disposing of the corpses at the top of the city, Han Shizhong walked down to the city.

    When he first came here, his qualifications were not enough to take charge of his own affairs, but after he killed countless Persians and killed more than half of the generals in the city, he became the general who stood alone, and it was the north where the Western Xia people focused their attack.

    In order to take advantage of their military strength and consume the city's defenders, the Xixia people attacked all four walls at the same time every day.  However, there was only a mountain of earth piled up in the north. Although the archers on it suffered heavy casualties, it also attracted a lot of attention from the Western Army at the head of the city.  Therefore, the Xixia people placed their main attack direction in the north.

    It¡¯s not that we don¡¯t want to build a mountain of earth on the other three sides, but it¡¯s a lot of work to pile up the mountain of earth. This mountain of earth, which is higher than the top of the city, took more than ten days.

    If you want to build four mountains of earth, the Xixia soldiers and horses don¡¯t need to attack the city, they can just dig the earth.

    Liu Zhongwu¡¯s sons Liu Qi and Liu Xi were in charge of the east and west walls, while General Yang Keshi was in charge of the south wall.

    Yang Keshi is a descendant of the Yang family general, but the Yang family general has declined. Yang Keshi rose from the rank of soldier like him, but Yang Keshi's luck is better than him.  He has always been under the command of Mr. Laozhong, and no one has devoured his military exploits. He is also brave and good at fighting, so he became the observer of Huazhou in the Song Dynasty.

    Like Han Shizhong, Yang Keshi had just returned from the south of the Yangtze River. He learned that Xixia soldiers and horses were going to Hulu River, so he brought soldiers and horses to reinforce Mr. Laozhong. However, Huazhou was not on the front line, and he did not need to garrison Huazhou.

    After defeating Xixia, the Western Army also had to undergo reorganization in Daliang. The military system in Daliang was simple and did not have the fifty-two ranks of the Song Dynasty.  With his achievements in suppressing the army, he should be able to become a captain of thousands, but he may not be a captain of ten thousand.  There are too many captains of thousands, so he wants to make more contributions and become the captain of ten thousand.
