Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Okay, just as you said."

The sun gradually sank into the horizon, and the sky turned blue-black. Rows of crows flew up from the bare forest and flew forward.

A large part of the east gate of Youzhou City has collapsed, and there are piles of corpses under the tower.

There are Song Jun and Xixia people.

As early as yesterday, Liu Kai launched a heavy siege on Youzhou.

In order to quickly capture Youzhou, Liu Kai deployed all 200 artillery pieces in one go, and at the same time, dispatched [-] heavy artillery pieces.

At this time Liu Kai was walking back and forth in the camp, he said: "The city wall has been smashed, why can't we take it down?"

"Liu Shuai, the Xixia defender here seems to be a tough guy!" Liu Rui said, "Our army even used the artillery, and the Xixia people quickly avoided the range of the artillery. Come out, and they are all wearing armor, there are strong crossbows, and even thunder!"

"Shocking Thunder?" Liu Kai was startled.

"Yes! Zhentianlei! Many boys below were injured by Zhentianlei."

"The Xixia people actually have a thunderstorm, this is something I never thought of." Liu Kai's eyes fell on Xiao Heda.

Xiao Heda said: "This last general doesn't know about it, but I heard rumors before that Jin Guo sent someone here to guide him."

"Why did the Jin man instruct the Xixia people to make weapons?" Liu Rui asked.

"In order to check and balance the Great Song Dynasty!" Liu Kai said, "The Jin people can still think of this step, I don't know what weapons the Xixia people have!"

"Iron armor!" Liu Rui emphasized again, "The armor rate of the western thieves is beyond my imagination. Almost everyone in the regular army wears armor, and even has the same infantry armor as us!"

Liu Kai sighed, and said, "No wonder His Majesty mentioned in his "Song, Jinxia War Tactics" that as time goes by, the weapons of both sides will gradually converge. It turns out to be true!"

This question is actually a question of dialectics.

Your Song army defends the city very well, and the Jin people will definitely find a way to learn. In order to increase the pressure on the Song army, the Jin country will definitely help the Xixia people to do things.

According to the theory in this book, if Xiaxia is destroyed a little later, maybe Xixia will master the technology of heavy artillery.

Xixia may not learn from Song Dynasty, but the Jin people may tell Xixia to deal with Song Dynasty.

"Who is the guard of Youzhou?" Liu Qi asked again.

A moment of silence.

"It's not easy to inquire about the guards in the city." Liu Rui said.

"Li Yu of the Jianing Military Division is a waste, and his subordinate Mi Qin Rongye is even a waste of waste." Xiao Heda said, "The only one who can make a tent is only one person!"

"Who?"

"Li Yanyi!"

"It's him!" Both Liu Kai and Liu Kai were taken aback.

Li Yuyi is an old acquaintance of his old Liu family.

Back then, Liu Kai and Liu Rui's father Liu Zhongwu commanded many troops to attack Xixia, but they were defeated by Li Yeyi.

Now brothers Liu Kai and Liu Rui met him again on such a critical battlefield.

"It's no wonder that Youzhou City is so difficult to attack. It turns out that Li Yuyi is defending it!" Liu Qi said.

"According to the time calculation, the main force of the official family has arrived. I will write a report. I will not be able to capture Yuzhou for two days. This responsibility will be taken by the commander and will not affect you. You don't have to worry. Take a good rest tonight and come back tomorrow." war!"

"Yes!"

Chapter 1050 The decisive battle is imminent! (third change)

Zhao Ning stationed outside the city of Youzhou, and soon received a report from Liu Kai.

"It seems that Youzhou is a tough nut to crack, and not all Xixia people just run away if they can't win!" Zhao Ning said with emotion, "What is the origin of this Li Yeyi?"

Fan Zhixu said: "Li Yuyi was originally from Tubo, he surrendered to our Great Song Dynasty during the Zhenghe period, worked his life in the Northwest, and later defected to Xixia."

"It turns out that he was a general of my Great Song Dynasty before, no wonder the method of defending the city has my Great Song's experience!"

People from Xixia: Bloody battles are impossible. Bloody battles are impossible in this life. If you can’t win, run away. If you run far away, gather back and continue fighting!

"Liu Kai is equipped with a lot of sophisticated armaments, but he couldn't take Youzhou at such a critical moment, limiting the battle to a disadvantageous place, so he should make a note of it." Fan Zhixu said immediately.

"Make a note?" Zhao Ning said in a deep voice, "Now is the most critical moment, do you want to make a note for the coach?"

Fan Zhixu immediately lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Zhao Guan's family.

"Temporary shake-up of the commander-in-chief is a big taboo. Since this Li Yuyi has served as a general in the Song Dynasty, he must be very familiar with our army. I don't need to remember Liu Qi's mistakes."

Zhao Ning picked up the pen, and made a note of his mistakes, and he still had to scold him after a few words.

The scolding was not because she was really angry, but to put pressure on Liu Kai.

A commander must bear high pressure, otherwise, wouldn't anyone be able to be a commander?

"Let the children rest well tonight, take out the meat and eat it, and attack the city tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

"Send this letter to Liu Shuai now!"

"Yes!"

Liu Kai received the letter in the middle of the night, and when he saw that Zhao Guanjia scolded him in his heart, he immediately felt guilty.

But when Zhao Guan's family said some words about himself and the soldiers, he was moved again.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Ning was woken up suddenly.

He lit candles in his camp and began to read the latest information.

"Brother Li Cha is really a follower!" Zhao Ning said with a wry smile, "He dared to divide the troops! Can you spy on how many troops have arrived?"

"It is temporarily impossible to spy on the detailed personnel."

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Kai's Tianwu Army was ready, and Zhao Ning's Imperial Guard Brigade was also ready, ready to attack the city from different directions, and use the most brutal way to kill all the resisting forces in Youzhou!

As for Brother Li Cha's splitting up, in Zhao Ning's view, it was only necessary to arrange for a team to hold him back, instead of using his main force.

If the army of [-] is restrained by the army of [-] and cannot move, wouldn't it be a joke to spread the word?

However, before the siege, Zhao Ning received another military report, which made him change his mind.

Zhao Ning looked at the military newspaper with a frown and said, "Li Qianshun came faster than I thought! It seems that Xixia's military and political capabilities have indeed improved a lot, and he has caught up to him!"

"Your Majesty, are you still attacking the city?" Fan Zhixu asked.

"Stop attacking, let Liu Qi attack, Li Qianshun is here, now we attack the city, who will deal with Li Qianshun." Zhao Ning looked at Youzhou City in front of him, and then at the sky to the west and said, "The people of Xixia Having built such a long line of defense in Hengshan, which can compress the battlefield to Yuzhou in a short period of time, the first phase of the strategy has been completed. There is no need to capture Yuzhou before Li Qianshun arrives. As a strong army, we must Can adapt to changes in the battle situation at any time!"

"Your Majesty Shengming."

"Scouts to investigate again! Send more scouts out, I want to know Li Qianshun's movements and his general strength at any time!"

"Yes!"

The sound of war drums came from the East City Gate again, and the elite infantry of the Tianwu Army began to move towards the front of the city wall.

The artillery battalion also pushed the artillery to the gap in the tower.

It is impossible for the Song army to push the artillery forward to fight now. After all, the will to resist in the city is still very strong. If there is a little carelessness, the artillery falls into the hands of the enemy.

This is taboo.

The Artillery Battalion first bombarded more than a dozen artillery pieces outside the city, aiming to deter the enemy and clear the roadblocks.

Immediately the infantry crawled over the pile of corpses and walked to the gap in the city wall.

The soldiers in the first row held shields, and the soldiers behind took out the Thunderbolt.

Insert the lead wire into the thunderbolt, then light it with a torch and throw it in on both sides.

As soon as it was thrown in, unexpectedly, many thunderbolts were suddenly thrown from both sides of the inside.

Boom boom boom...

The Thunderbolt exploded at the feet of the soldiers.

The power of Zhentianlei is definitely incomparable with the hand grenades of later generations.

In this era, there is no such device as a fuze. It is impossible to make the fuze explode when it is thrown out.

The structure of the fuze device is not so simple, and it is impossible for non-professionals to manufacture fuzes in this era.

The operation of Zhentianlei is a bit troublesome, but the fragments of iron shot out after the explosion are very terrifying.

If the quality of the iron armor is slightly poor, it will be pierced.

The two sides exploded a wave respectively, and it was obvious that the thunder of the Song army was more powerful, and the Xixia soldiers inside were affected more.

The Song army in front fell into chaos, but those who were not affected at the front had already rushed in with axes.

Although flustered, those behind also rushed in.

A Song army infantry roared loudly, held up an ax and struck a Xixia soldier on the head.

With a bang, it was the sound of metal colliding with metal. The Xixia soldier's helmet was smashed and dented, and he fell to the ground unable to move.

The surrounding Xixia soldiers rushed over in a swarm.

Song Jun from behind also rushed in with a roar.

The two sides immediately fought savagely there.

The Xixia soldiers in the back appeared from all the alleys like mushrooms after the rain, and rushed over with weapons.

Xiao Guoshan ran up to Xiao Heda and said, "Would it be bad for us if we send people to consume like this?"

"Liu Rui's people are also inside. We don't have any reason not to fight now, otherwise you and I will have a bad life in the future. Grit your teeth and take down Youzhou first, and you can continue to climb after you have made meritorious service!"

"It can only be this way!"

The sound of war drums in the back shook the heavens and the earth, and the heads of people rolled out of the city wall.

At this time, Brother Li Cha's scouts also brought back the latest news.

"Your Highness, the Song army ahead is not attacking the city, but the Song army in the east of the city is attacking the city, and the east of the city is Liu Kai's department."

"The Song army in the south of the city didn't move?"

"There is no movement, and the defense of the rear army has not changed in the slightest."

"It seems that this Song army is not going to attack the city!" Brother Li Cha said, "It's very interesting. Now that His Majesty's elite has also arrived on the battlefield, I want to learn from this Song army. Let's see what this Song army is doing. Commander, what kind of tricks can you play!"

On the morning of the fourth day of October, Liu Kai attacked the city, Zhao Guanjia's army was stationed in the south of the city, Li Cha's main force was behind, and Zhang Bofen divided his troops to guard the southern line.

However, the battle situation is still changing.

Li Shifu captured Longzhou and was heading north with his troops.

Wei Xiang led the guards to wipe out the Xixia people there. The news of the fall of the iron gate reached Yanzhou in the morning of this day.

Zhang Jun started to cross the vast sea with his troops.

Li Yanxian, who was dormant in Lanzhou, finally dispatched his elite cavalry.

Chapter 1051 The Battle of Youzhou (Part [-])

From the first day of October, Li Yanxian sent troops from Lanzhou, all the way to the north like lightning, and launched a surprise attack on the southern defense line of Xixia.

On the third day of October, after Li Yanxian defeated Yingli, he left the ruins of the ancient Great Wall and marched towards Helan Mountain.

Helan Mountain is on the west side of Xingqing Mansion and is the most important line of defense in the west of Xingqing Mansion.

Xixia deployed [-] troops in this area.

Even at this time, Li Ganshun went south in person, but he did not mobilize the [-] troops.

Unlike Li Yanxian, Zhang Jun took the road of Hanhai, that is, along the Lingzhou River all the way north.

For the people of the Song Dynasty, the conditions in the vast sea were very harsh. The vast sandy land of more than 200 miles, coupled with the imminent winter, the sky began to snow, which caused great difficulties for marching.

However, the conditions of the Song army were difficult, and the Xixia people were not much better.

At this time, the army of Lingzhou in Xiping Prefecture was taken away by Li Qianshun with [-] troops, and their defenses were greatly weakened.

In addition, winter is coming, and Xixia people are not very willing to come out to fight.

This is more beneficial to Song Jun.

In the past era, after the Song army took Weizhou, they went all the way northward and walked two hundred miles to kill the enemy. Jun sent his own knife down.

But this time is different, Xixia people also want to spend the winter!
