Chapter 831 The real purpose of the despicable Song people (first update)
Chapter 840

Li Mao nodded and looked towards the riverside under the moonlit night, where the firelight was like scattered stars. "General Liang, when can we cross the river?"

"Everything is ready, it's just up to you, two generals, if you are not tired, it would be best to cross the river as soon as possible. We burned Xingqingcang and also tormented the Xixia King's Tomb. I'm afraid it won't happen right now , Li Qianshun will definitely try to find us at all costs."

"Okay, without further ado, organize the army to cross the river immediately and tell the brothers that after we cross the river and join the army, we will have a good rest and eat and drink to our heart's content." Luo Ping also nodded with deep understanding. Nodding, he turned his head and gave instructions to the deputy general beside him.

"Okay, tell my brethren, light the torches and light the crossing for the troops of Generals Lee and Lo."

Soon, torches were lit near the ferry one after another, illuminating the entire river bank area like daylight.

After marching for several days in a row, the exhausted soldiers also understood that the messy things they did had already annoyed the whole of Xixia, and now if they don't cross the Yellow River as soon as possible, they are likely to be trapped to death in this piece of Xixia. In the hinterland, let others slaughter you.

At this moment, no matter in the direction of Xingqing Mansion or along the river, there are a large number of Xixia soldiers and horses, searching for those Song troops who dared to burn down the Xingqing warehouse and damage the Xixia royal tomb.

And the nearest unit to them was already less than a hundred miles away.

#####
In the early morning, the sound of fighting inside and outside the entire New Yanzhou City resounded throughout the world. Countless Xixia soldiers attacked frantically regardless of their own casualties, as if they had been injected with chicken blood needles and gunpowder.

This kind of intensity of the offensive has put more and more pressure on the Song army in the city, and there have even been several times in a row that Xixia soldiers rushed to the city wall.

"General, the Xixia people are going crazy. Our people are almost unable to withstand it, especially the Xiang army, which is already showing signs of collapse. Please ask the general to quickly send more troops and horses to the city for reinforcements..."

A general hurried to Zhong Shidao, who was commanding the battle at Ximen, and begged loudly.

Zhong Shidao wiped the sweat off his face, and his bloody waist knife stood on the ground. At this moment, he also felt a little unable to hold on. "Forget it, beat the drum and send an order to let all the eight thousand sons go to the city to reinforce, and they must kill the enemy!"

"No! Why are you still standing there, why don't you hurry up and beat the drums!" The general was overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed to the front of the drum array, which was nowhere to be seen, and shouted sharply.

Thick drumsticks hit the huge drum made of thick cowhide, and the thunderous sound of the drum suddenly resounded throughout New Yanzhou.

Already waiting under the four gates, those Song cavalry who were waiting impatiently after hearing the rhythm of the drum, all showed overjoyed looks, picked up their weapons, roared the sound of Song Wansheng, and walked along the road. Following the ladders made of red bricks, they rush towards the city wall.

The Song army on the city, which was already getting tired, and the Xiang army who started to disperse, after the appearance of eight thousand iron armored warriors, suddenly became more morale, and attacked the city wall. Xixia, who was already at the end of its strength, People haven't had time to be ecstatic.

When they saw a large number of fresh troops from the Song Kingdom rushing to the city, waving their weapons to harvest the lives of Paoze, they couldn't help showing a feeling of despair at this moment.

Ren Duo Zongbao threw the horsewhip in his hand on the ground fiercely under the city, and let out a howl like a desperate beast. "Being a teacher, despicable and shameless, you must die!!!"

Nendo Zongbao's roar could not reach the ears of Zhong Shidao who was directing the battle on the city wall outside Li Xu.On the contrary, the Xixia soldiers around him heard the despair of Xixia Zhongshu Ling from this desperate cry.

The [-] iron-armored fresh troops that appeared suddenly wiped out or drove out all the Xixia warriors who had attacked the city, and took the initiative on the city wall back to the hands of the Song army.

The Xiang army, who had regained their morale and courage, followed closely behind, using long-range weapons such as spears or crossbows in their hands, and resolutely threw themselves into the battle again.

By the time the Xixia people withdrew from the battle, the sky was already bright, and the scorching sun jumped out of the horizon suddenly, reflecting the waves of the big river beside the city of New Yanzhou.

The soldiers took off the iron helmets on their heads, wiped the sweat or blood on their faces and bodies, raised their weapons in relief, and shouted to the sky. The sound of the Song Dynasty's victory once again resounded across the river.

"My lord, I didn't expect this person to be a master for so long. It turns out that there are still so many soldiers and horses in the city that have never been used..." A general beside Ren Duo Zongbao couldn't help but fell down on the grass , Frustrated and authentic.

Since the attack on Yanzhou these days, the Xixia elite has suffered a lot of casualties. Before that, the increasingly weak resistance of the Song army made the Xixia people seem to see the hope of victory.

And just last night, Ren Duo Zongbao suddenly ordered the generals to be summoned, and vowed to break the city today, and the whole army will attack this new city.

Just when they were about to win, the sudden appearance of nearly [-] elite Song troops put a damper on the Xixia warriors' ambition to win.

In the end, it failed again.Ren Duo Zongbao stared at the battle flag of the Song Dynasty on the city with a livid face, and remained silent for a long time.

I was entrusted by the lord of the country to lead the last family property of the Xixia Kingdom, with great ambitions, determined to take advantage of the Liaoxia coalition forces to besiege Youzhou, to raid Yanzhou, and strive to regain this extremely important wealth and taxation for Xixia place.

But in the end, a fortified city that popped up suddenly stopped the advance of the [-] troops.Let Xixia's dream of capturing Yanzhou with lightning speed come to naught.

It has been such a long time until now, and the master of one hundred thousand is still squatting here counting ants.Seeing that the strategy formulated before is about to come to naught.

But before, a Song army partial division actually left the hinterland of Xixia empty, and rushed into the territory of Xixia to burn, kill and loot.Ren Duo Zongbao knew that the opponent wanted to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, so he just sent a reinforcement, and then continued to attack the city.

But the result was that we still couldn't win. Just yesterday, after receiving an urgent letter from Weiming Awu, Renduo Zongbao was really worried.

It never occurred to him that the Song army's partial division was so bold that it went deep into the outskirts of the capital of Xixia, not only burning down the very important Xingqing warehouse, but also destroying the royal mausoleum of Xixia.

The lord Li Ganshun even fainted on the spot after hearing the news, and Ren Duo Zongbao ordered the siege at all costs.

However, the Song Army did not collapse as expected. Instead, it only forced out the Song Army's trump card. It turned out that there were more than [-] elite Song Army troops in the city who had never shown up.

From this point of view, the Song army must have done it on purpose. I am afraid that this new city is just a bait. Their real purpose is to burn down the Xingqing warehouse and destroy the Xixia royal tomb.
