- Outside Xingqing Mansion, Renli's army camped for the second day. On this day, Renli did not attack Xingqing Mansion. Instead, he sent people to cut down trees and make siege equipment.
Naturally, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, and Yao Pingzhong would not miss this opportunity. After a whole day of harassment, all three of them successfully obtained the baron. However, Liu Qi was still fighting for the viscount. Han Shizhong and Yao Pingzhong had nothing to do, so they Accompanying Liu Qi, he continued to harass Xixia soldiers and horses.
That night, 20,000 soldiers and horses from Lingzhou and 10,000 soldiers and horses from Dingzhou came to King Qin.
The number of troops under Renli increased to 50,000. Only Lingzhou left 10,000 troops to resist possible attacks from the south, while Dingzhou, Huaizhou, and Jingzhou all came out with overwhelming force.
On the same day, Zhong Shidao led 50,000 soldiers and horses such as Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Dong Ping, Yang Zhi, and Mu Hong into Xixia. After passing the tour to Yikou and Cuta Village, we took the Mingsha Road to Lingzhou.
Early in the morning on the third day, the south gate of Xingqing Mansion was opened at the urging of Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, and Yao Pingzhong, and the three of them went out of the city again to start their harassment plan.
"die"
Han Shizhong shouted and shot off his horse a Xixia soldier who was about to flee into the camp.
It was too late to open the bow and shoot the others. Several Xixia soldiers who scurried into the camp stopped when they heard the hoofbeats of the chasing horses, and then they dared to rein in their horses and turn back.
Although Liu Qi was better at archery, the power of his strong bow was not as strong as that of Han Shizhong, and the range was naturally not as far as Han Shizhong's. Therefore, the last arrow was shot by Han Shizhong.
The patrol of 100 people was killed by three people and fled in all directions. However, the three people chased the direction with the largest number of people and fought straight to the outside of the camp.
Han Shizhong glanced at the Xixia soldiers with bows and arrows behind the camp wall. The man he just shot was within the shooting range of the archers behind the camp wall. He shook his head and said, "I can't get this badge again."
Yao Pingzhong smiled and said: "Otherwise we will be stuck here and see how the Xixia people send people out of the camp to patrol."
Hearing this, Liu Qi smiled and said: "It's okay, the Xixia people will definitely not be willing to be blocked by us. Once they leave the camp, we will shoot a few arrows and then leave. Lead them outside and then kill them slowly."
Han Shizhong also felt that waiting for the Xixia people to come to his door was better than chasing him everywhere, so he nodded and said: "Okay."
The Xixia people in the camp originally thought that the three men would chase them outside the camp gate and retreat like yesterday. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, they found that the three people had no intention of retreating.
Han Shizhong relied on the power of his bow to shoot arrows at the defenders in the camp from time to time. Although they were dozens of steps apart, the guards would be shot by Han Shizhong if they were not careful.
After Han Shizhong shot and killed several people one after another, the guards in the camp no longer dared to be distracted and were on full alert.
Han Shizhong was also afraid of being shot by the defenders, so he did not dare to enter the shooting range of the defenders. The two sides were separated by dozens of steps. Once the guards are on full alert, they can avoid Han Shizhong's arrows.
Han Shizhong shot a few more arrows. Although they were dodged by the people in the camp, he kept riding and walked back and forth in front of the camp, making the heads of the guards in the camp move with Han Shizhong.
Seeing an opportunity, Yao Pingzhong shot several arrows in succession, killing two people.
Only Liu Qi is fighting for the Viscount, in order to draw more bows. No strong bow was used.
The general guarding the gate saw two men shooting his subordinates outside the camp, and quickly shouted for the patrolling soldiers to come out of the camp and drive away the three men.
The general in charge of patrol saw that the soldiers he sent were driven back, so he sent another 100 people out of the camp.
Han Shizhong and Yao Pingzhong saw someone leaving the camp and had just entered their shooting range. Then he opened his bow and shot hard. After shooting two arrows, he turned his horse and left.
Liu Qi waited until the riders in front began to draw their bows, and then he shot several arrows in succession, knocking the riders off their horses. Then he turned sideways to avoid the incoming arrows and followed Han Shizhong and Yao Pingzhong on horseback.
Then the three of them started flying kites and started shooting at the patrolmen. After leaving the Xixia camp. Han Shizhong and Yao Pingzhong rode towards the patrol team, while Liu Qi followed behind and killed the people with arrows.
Both Han Shizhong and Yao Pingzhong are brave enough to challenge thousands of troops, let alone a squad of a hundred people. All the arrows shot were deflected by the two men. Once they rushed forward, they were like tigers rushing into a herd of sheep.
Soon, this group of patrol soldiers was killed and returned to the camp.
Once he escaped, he sold his huge back to the other party. Liu Qi's bowstring turned into an afterimage, and sharp arrows kept flying out. The escaping Xixia people kept falling off their horses, and less than half of them managed to escape back to the camp. .
In the main tent of the Chinese army, Renli had just summoned the generals from several states to discuss the attack on Xingqing Mansion. He heard someone outside the tent asking to see him, so he had to stop the discussion.
The general in charge of the patrol came in and reported: "The three Han Chinese who attacked and killed the patrol officers two days ago are here again. They are now blocking the camp gate and shooting the guards."
Hearing this, the Jingzhou garrison frowned and said, "You just send troops to drive them away. What are you doing here at the Chinese army's tent?"
"The general sent people several times to drive them away, but if the patrolling soldiers were a little far away from the camp, they would be attacked by them. Now the general's troops have been disabled and can no longer patrol the camp."
The guard generals of Lingzhou and Jingzhou had some disagreements, and he said with a smile: "It seems that the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou have been too comfortable these years and have forgotten about riding and shooting. They were actually blocked by three Han people at the camp gate."
The Jingzhou garrison was not polite and said with a sneer: "My soldiers and horses are incompetent, so I asked the general to send people to kill them, so that my soldiers and horses know what my Daxia soldiers and horses should look like."
The Lingzhou guard didn't know that the Jingzhou guard was digging a hole for him, so he turned to a general behind him and said: "Go and dispatch a group of people to take over the patrol of Jingzhou soldiers and horses, kill three more people, and send their heads to the center. Come to the army tent and show the bravery of our Daxia warriors."
"yes"
General Lingzhou didn¡¯t take it seriously, got up and walked out.
Watching Lingzhou take over the patrol errand, Jingzhou Guardsman also breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Shizhong and the other three were extremely skilled in martial arts and equally skilled in shooting. They also used rogue tactics, running away when there were many people and killing when there were few. They couldn't ambush on the plains, so they were simply insurmountable opponents.
The people who had been killed in the previous two days were helpless. However, Renli handed over the patrol to Jingzhou because of the heavy casualties in Shunzhou and Huaizhou, and he could not shirk it. Now that Lingzhou soldiers and horses have taken over this drudgery, he is eager to do so.
However, Renli did not say anything to remind him. Now he has 12,000 troops in Huaizhou and Shunzhou, but the Lingzhou defender has 20,000 troops. He is also happy to weaken the Lingzhou troops. If he can use the hands of Daliang soldiers and horses to eliminate Lingzhou, The governor of the state would be more to his liking.
The guard general of Jingzhou threw out a hot potato and became more active in his speech, saying: "The soldiers and horses of the Liang Kingdom in the city are entrenched. I am afraid there is a large army behind to support them. We must attack the city as soon as possible."
Renli said: "The soldiers and horses of Lingzhou and Dingzhou traveled more than a hundred miles yesterday. It's better to let them rest for a day before attacking the city."
Hearing this, the Lingzhou garrison immediately said: "We have traveled more than a hundred miles in two days, so there is no need to rest and recuperate. Our army can fight today."
Dingzhou is closer than Lingzhou. Hearing this, he also said: "Our army can also go to war."
Hearing this, Renli smiled and said: "Since soldiers and horses from everywhere can go out to fight, we will attack the city today. The camp has made a lot of siege equipment in the past two days, which is enough for use."
The guard general of Lingzhou stood up and said: "Since we already have the siege equipment, what else are we discussing? Everyone goes to order troops, and we will attack the city now."
Renli couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw the Lingzhou garrison making his own decisions, but his face showed no emotion. He stood up and said, "Okay, two thousand people from Shunzhou will stay to guard the camp, and all other troops will go to attack the city."
Everyone came out of the big tent, and just when they were about to separate and order the troops, they saw a cavalry flying from the direction of the camp gate.
The Lingzhou garrison who arrived suddenly reined in his horse, dismounted, knelt on the ground and said: "The general went out of camp to pursue those three people and was shot dead."
Hearing this, the Lingzhou garrison couldn't help but blush. He turned to the deputy general beside him and said, "You lead a thousand men as vanguards, and you must shoot three of them."
"yes"
The deputy general received the order and ordered a thousand people to leave the camp.
After that, all the troops from various states gathered together and marched towards Xingqing Mansion.
Along the way, Lingzhou Guardsman saw one of his own soldiers dying on the road from time to time. It wasn't until two miles outside Xingqing Mansion that I saw the deputy general chasing the three people with his troops. He looked around and tried to surround the three of them, but they were rushed out by the three of them.
Han Shizhong and the other three saw that the army behind them was approaching, so they threw away the surrounding soldiers and horses and ran towards the city.
Lieutenant General Lingzhou saw that there were not many people at the top of the city and the suspension bridge could not be raised for a while. He thought it was an opportunity and immediately led his troops to pursue them.
When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw that there were still people coming to die, they immediately waited for them with a burst of bows, arrows, fire and thunder.
After a burst of explosions, the Lingzhou Lieutenant General¡¯s body was gone, and the remaining soldiers and horses were scattered back.
The Lingzhou garrison was in the distance and heard the explosion. Seeing the soldiers and their horses being torn apart by the explosion, he couldn't help but feel frightened.
The army was arrayed inside and outside, and the Lingzhou defender said: "Liang's firearms are so powerful, even if the moat is filled up, the siege equipment may not be able to rely on it."
Renli smiled and said: "Although Liang's firearms are powerful, they must not be in large numbers. As long as they use up all their firearms, we can take back Xingqing Mansion. The God's Arm Crossbow arrows they use are also specially made and cannot be replenished in the city. After all their arrows are used up, it will be difficult for ordinary bows to block the city gate."
The Lingzhou guard said: "If this is the case, we might as well attack the city gate."?Consumption of their firearms, lest the siege engines be destroyed. "
The guard general of Jingzhou nodded: "What the general said is true, then our troops will fill in the moat, and Lingzhou soldiers and horses will seize the city gate."
When the Lingzhou guard heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
Filling the moat is protected by trench-filling trucks, which is much safer, but storming the city gate requires human lives to fill it.
Renli did not wait for the Lingzhou garrison to speak, but said: "Then it's up to the two generals. When the king of the country is rescued, I will ask for credit for the two generals."
Although the Lingzhou garrison was unwilling, he did not dare to oppose it blatantly, lest someone say that he was conserving his troops with evil intentions in the future.
The guard of Jingzhou said gloatingly: "War horses are easily frightened, so you'd better use infantry to capture the city."
The guard general of Lingzhou said angrily: "Everyone has seen it, so you should be careful when filling up the moat, so as not to be blown up with people and vehicles."
