Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 257: Siege (2)

The sky was getting darker and darker, and 100,000 troops from northern Shaanxi were stationed immediately after they came here.

The soldiers of the Jingyuan Army and the Huanqing Army also helped the Forbidden Army in northern Shaanxi set up camps.

Zhao Chen, Qu Duan, Yu Yunwen and others naturally also came here. They rushed all the way, and they couldn't take a break at this moment. Zhao Chen had urgently summoned Liu Qi, Zhao Zhe and others to ask about the siege.

The sky was dark, and the night in the northwest was still a bit cold at this time. Everyone was sitting by the fire, talking while watching the situation on the walls of Xingqing Mansion.

"You have been here for more than three days. What is the effect of the siege?" Zhao Chen said while eating a piece of roast beef in his hand.

"Your Majesty, this Xingqing Mansion deserves to be the capital of Xixia. It's unusually strong, and it's no small thing!" Zhao Zhe said.

"When I just arrived that day, I thought that Xingqing Mansion had no preparations. The Jingyuan Army and Huanqing Army were able to conquer Xingqing Mansion in one fell swoop! Who knows, Xingqing Mansion was already prepared! Xixia's soldiers and horses have already been prepared. Not many, but countless party members in Xingqing Mansion came to the city wall to resist us. Moreover, there were a lot of equipment to defend the city in the Xixia Capital City, and those weapons were exceptionally fierce. Over the past three days, we have suffered a great loss. "Liu Qi said.

"How much loss?" Zhao Chen said.

"The two armies add up to about 10,000 people." Liu Qi said.

"What!" Zhao Chen was taken aback.

You know, before attacking Hongzhou, Youzhou, and Yanzhou, the main force in the attack on Xixia never lost so many soldiers and horses. But now he attacked Xingqing Mansion and lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in a short period of time. Zhao Chen is really hard to believe.

"Your Majesty, we don't have a siege weapon in our hands, so it is difficult to take down Xingqing Mansion. This Xingqing Mansion is much stronger than the previous places such as Hongzhou and Yanzhou, and it can't be defeated just by the ladder. "Liu Qi said.

"Wait another night! By tomorrow morning, the siege weapons will be delivered." Zhao Chen said.

"Oh?" Liu Qi was taken aback.

"The young people of the Production and Construction Corps are transporting grain, grass and grains, and those siege weapons will also be transported." Zhao Chen said.

In the battle to eliminate the main force of Xixia that day, the Forbidden Army of Northern Shaanxi had been closely following behind the main force of Xixia. They also moved forward lightly, and naturally it was impossible to carry a siege weapon. The Production and Construction Corps followed them, and Zhao Chen had ordered them to send all the grain, grass and siege weapons left by the main force of Xixia outside the city of Yanzhou.

After all, they should have arrived soon.

"So, it's great! Our 200,000 troops surrounded Xingqing Mansion, and we have siege weapons, and we will surely be able to defeat it!" Liu Qi said excitedly.

"Yes, we will definitely be able to fight down! The order continues, so that the soldiers have a good rest! We will continue to attack the city until tomorrow morning when the siege weapons are delivered." Zhao Chen said.

More than 200,000 troops surrounded the Xingqing Mansion. At this moment, all the soldiers were making fire and cooking. Looking down from the city wall, there are bonfires everywhere. Occasionally, you can hear the singing from the army. These songs are extremely agitated. They are songs produced by the Propaganda Department. They are used to praise thousands of years of long history, China's prosperous civilization, and countless battles in the Han and Tang Dynasties. The poems are compiled into songs, and some are praises for heroes and so on.

The singing voices in the army kept coming and going to the city wall. Many people in Xingqing Mansion in Xixia knew Chinese. After hearing this song, they felt even more nervous, so I don't need to say more.

Xia Chongzong Li Ganshun had been standing on the city wall, looking at the army of the Song Dynasty below, his face was always pale and frown.

Wei Ming Anhui has also been standing beside Xia Chongzong, his face also has a worried expression.

I don’t know when Song Jun has undergone such a big change!

Their impression of the Song Army is still the Western Army back then! At that time, the Western Army was already the strongest army in the Song Dynasty, but it seemed to be far from the Western Xia Army. But look at the Song Army below, their morale is far higher than the original Western Army. Moreover, in the war that lasted for more than three days, they also saw the strength of this army, and even more felt the unimaginable fighting will of this army.

They have never seen an army with such a strong will to fight, and even the original Golden Soldier may not be able to catch up with this army.

"Two hundred thousand people, that's all! Your Majesty, in just five years, Song Jun has changed so much! In the earliest days, Song Jun defeated Wanyan Huoji. We all thought that Wanyan Huoji was too young. , War experience is limited, and now it seems that this is not the case at all. It is not the full face of the living women, but the Song army has become stronger, they are really too strong, incredibly powerful." Wei Ming Anhui said.

Xia Chongzong nodded gently.

At this moment, another person came over in the distance, it was Brother Richard.

"Your Majesty!" Richard Ge fell on his knees and saluted Xia Chongzong.

Xia Chongzong just snorted coldly, and his heart was extremely angry with Brother Richard. In his opinion, it was Richard Richard who destroyed the 300,000 Xixia main force. If the main force of the three hundred thousand Xixia was in Xingqing Mansion, why would they be afraid of the Song Dynasty attacking the city?

"Your Majesty, the battle of Wudaotan is not the fault of General Cha Ge! General Cha Ge also wants to rush to Xingqing Mansion to rescue His Majesty! I also hope that His Majesty will forgive General Cha Ge." Wei Ming Anhui said.

"Be flat." Xia Chongzong said lightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Richard Richard stood up and said.

"General Chage, do you think we can hold Xingqing Mansion?" Wei Ming Anhui said.

"I don't know at the end! I'm afraid it will be difficult!" Richard Ge shook his head with a wry smile.

"Even if it is difficult, we have to hold on! If Xingqing Mansion is lost, Xixia will die! Therefore, we must hold on." At this moment, a voice came from behind, and a stunning 17- or 18-year-old woman appeared. Here.

"Ai Concubine, why are you here?" The person who came was Ren Yuqin's daughter, Ren Yuqin, and a smile finally appeared on Xia Chongzong's face.

"The cheap concubine saw that your majesty had never come back, so came to check." Ren Yuqin said.

"War is a man's business. It's very dangerous. You'd better not come to the city wall." Xia Chongzong said.

"Your Majesty and the lords must be careful! As long as we can hold Xingqing Mansion, we will have countless people and other cities, and sooner or later we will be able to rejuvenate again! And Han people, they cannot stay in Xingqing Mansion for too long. Time, they will return to Guan Shan sooner or later!" Ren Yuqin said.

"Ai Concubine is right!" Xia Chongzong kept nodding, and the people Anhui, Richard Ge and others also nodded.

On the second day, when the sky was dark, an army of 30,000 people came from a distance, it was the young people of the Production and Construction Corps.

They drove horse-drawn carriages and donkey carts, brought countless grain and grass, and brought countless siege weapons.

Grain, grass, and siege weapons were distributed to all armies, and cheers continued to be heard from the army.

All armies immediately assembled siege weapons, and countless stone throwers were erected in all directions! Siege vehicles were also erected at the gates of the city, and countless arrow stacks were set up, and countless huge siege crossbows were placed on the arrow stacks! Countless huge shields and tall ladders were also issued to each team.

When the sun just rose, the siege war began again.

After the previous three days and three nights of fighting, many parts of the moat have been filled in. At this moment, the soldiers of the various military forces are heading directly toward the city wall.

Countless arrows shot crazy toward the city wall! Many of them are **** arm bows!

The total number of crossbowmen in the Jingyuan Army, Huanqing Army, and Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army exceeded 100,000. The Song army lacked war horses. In order to make up for the disadvantages of the cavalry, the Song army always used bows to make horses. The Song Dynasty’s bow and arrow technology reached the peak of the cold weapon era. They developed countless infantry bows, siege crossbows, and **** arm crossbows. Wait for weapons. Many of these weapons have been lost since the Song Dynasty, such as the god-arm crossbow, which no one could make in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Even in modern society, it cannot be produced. The craftsmanship at that time has long since been lost.

Countless huge stones were transported over and smashed crazily towards the city wall of Xingqing Mansion.

However, there are countless stone throwers on the walls of Xingqing Mansion, and their range is even longer than that of Song Jun's stone throwers below. Xingqing Mansion is the capital of Xixia. Xixia people have been operating here for more than a hundred years. All kinds of weapons are exceptionally sophisticated, which is naturally extraordinary.

After half an hour, a shout of killing came.

Countless Song soldiers rushed towards the city wall holding the ladder. They erected the ladder and went up along the ladder. Nearby, there were countless Song soldiers holding their bows and arrows and shooting upwards. But above, Xixia people are also fighting back, and Xixia people's bows and arrows are constantly shooting towards the bottom.

The cruel siege war has begun again!

Song Jun kept rushing up, but this time the Xixia soldiers and people in Xingqing Mansion were exceptionally tenacious. Perhaps they also knew that Xingqing Mansion was breached and their country was about to perish, and their fate would be unpredictable. Perhaps they believed that their parents, relatives, young children and children would be brutally murdered, so they showed a tenacious will that they had never seen before. .

One day has passed, and the Song Army suffered heavy casualties, but the Xixia soldiers and people above also suffered heavy casualties.

As the sun sets, the Song Army still has no thoughts of retreating. They are still besieging the city frantically. Soldiers go forward, regardless of life and death! Many soldiers had smiles on their faces when they were dying, and they were able to die for the country. They died well and felt happy. The Song army was so crazy that the Xixia soldiers and people above were deeply shocked, but they still did not retreat.

One night passed, Song Jun still did not stop.

In the direction of the northwest city wall, at this moment, there was a loud cheering.

Li Xianzhong, the commander of the Forbidden Army in northern Shaanxi, personally led five hundred soldiers to the city wall. Under the leadership of Li Xianzhong, the Xixia soldiers and people on the city wall retreated one after another.
