From eunuch to emperor

Shi Le also knew that the situation was not good. Three masters died and two were seriously injured.

The national teacher Kong Ji and the hussar general Fu Yong are the most important. One was killed, the other fell into a coma and lost his left and right arms.

Lu Qichang's suggestion to persuade Shi Le to retreat and temporarily avoid Long Chen's edge is correct.

But Shi Le couldn't just retreat.

If he retreats, it will be a crushing defeat and he will not be able to explain to the subjects in the country.

His authority as king of Xixia will be questioned.

He has to fight Long Chen, even if this battle will be very tragic, he still has to fight.

Lu Qichang arranged for manpower to send Kong Ji and Shi Haoran back to Xingqing City, and then notified the lieutenant general to listen to the order in the military tent!

Shi Le sat at the head, with Lu Qichang and Li Chenglie sitting on each side, and Zhong Gui standing beside him.

On the bottom left are the generals of the monks and soldiers of Zhaoti Temple and Zhenguo Temple, and on the right are the generals of the iron kite.

Pulling the mid-level officer over, the tent became more lively.

These generals all knew what happened yesterday, especially the monks and soldiers.

The two masters of Zhaoti Temple were beheaded for the first time, and the monk Kongji was so miserable that they were shocked.

The monks and soldiers of Zhenguo Temple turned pale when they talked about it. Deshan was beheaded with a sword, Kongji was beaten half to death, and they were afraid to mention Longchen's name.

The iron kite's generals were also afraid that General Hussars actually died in the hands of Zhang Qian and the three of them. They all said that there were many masters in the Long family army, and Long Chen was not the only one.

All the generals in the tent have their own thoughts, and they seem to be in harmony with each other.

Shi Le glanced down the hall, and said with a serious expression: "Zhenguo Temple is the gate of Daxia. Long Chengen used treacherous tricks to take it, and we must take it back."

"Today, this king will attack Zhenguo Temple together with you, all officers and men should work hard to move forward."

"Those who dare to advance bravely will be worshiped as generals and marquises; those who retreat before the battle will be killed without mercy!"

All the generals in the hall bowed in unison: "The last general is commanding! The last general will fight the enemy bravely and take back the Zhenguo Temple!"

Shi Le stood up and said, "Follow the king!"

Shi Le walked in front, Lu Qichang and Li Chenglie followed behind, and the other generals went out of the army tent together, and returned to the formation to lead the troops.

dong dong dong...

With the sound of war drums, Shi Le got on the bloody horses, and the soldiers brought halberds.

Shi Le grabbed the halberd and went out with his own soldiers.

Zhenguo Temple.

Long Chen was wearing green dragon armor, holding a long spear in his hand, riding on the horse watching the slowly advancing Xixia army.

Shile's king's flag was raised high, surrounded by hundreds of soldiers.

Zhang Qian sneered and said, "My lord, Shi Le still dares to fight."

After yesterday's big defeat, Zhang Qian thought that Shi Le would temporarily retreat and come back to fight after a period of rest.

Long Chen said: "If he doesn't kill one, how will he explain to the Xixia people?"

"It's good that we're here. Let's defend ourselves firmly and kill their elites. It will be much easier for us to attack the city in the future."

"In today's battle, we must show the might of the Long family army, make the people of Xixia fearful, and make the people of Xixia fear us!"

There is nothing greater than heartbreak, and soldiers without fighting spirit are just mobs.

Long Chen wants to destroy the fighting spirit of the Xixia army today, and let them be afraid when they see the banner of the Long family army.

It will be much easier to attack the hinterland of Xixia in the future.

"My lord, they are going to attack."

Wu Chuchu looked at the army in the west.

Under Shi Le's personal command, the catapults of the Xixia army lined up, with shield soldiers in front, infantry behind, and iron harriers waiting for an opportunity to move.

dong dong dong...

The battle drums were rumbling, and a group of ragged Xixia troops were driven to the front to play the vanguard.

"That's... a tenant?"

Dugu Jiali judged from the attire of the soldiers that these people were tenants who had just joined the army.

They didn't even have armor on their bodies, only swords and guns were given, and many people were barefoot.

"These people...we give them fields, but they are willing to believe in Shi Le and be Shi Le's meat head."

Wu Xiangyun lamented his misfortune and was angry with him for not fighting.

Long Chen sighed slightly: "You can't live without doing your own crimes. If you pick up a weapon, then you are the enemy."

The people farming are pitiful, they are soldiers with swords and guns, Long Chen is not the Holy Mother, he can only kill.

dong dong dong...

The Xixia army slowly pushed forward, the bow and crossbow battalion followed behind the shield soldiers, and the bed crossbow and god arm bow equipped the army.

The Bed Crossbow and Divine Arm Bow were originally invented by Long Chen, but now both Xixia and Nanliang are equipped with them.

Long Chen shouted: "Bow and Crossbow Battalion! Get ready!"

Dugu Jiali rode her horse and ran in front of the Bow and Crossbow Camp, shouting: "Get ready!"

The bed crossbow and god arm bow on the mountainside are ready, as are the catapults, and ordinary crossbowmen are all ready.

Long Chen watched the Xixia army approaching slowly...

"put!"

Long Chen shouted loudly, the bed crossbow and the god arm bow were fired first, and the catapult ran out of the kerosene tank, and the tank with flames and black smoke pierced the sky and smashed towards Xixia's army.

Although Xixia can also make bed crossbows and divine arm bows, they are not as good as Linglong Pavilion, and their range is not as good as Linglong Pavilion.

Therefore, Long Chen made the first move.

The crossbow arrows whizzed down, Xixia's shield soldiers raised their shields and pushed forward in front of them.

bang bang...

The arrow from the bed crossbow was two meters long and very powerful. When it hit the shield, it made the shield soldier's wrist go numb.

These shield soldiers are selected strong fighters, holding the shield with both hands and continuing to push forward.

The shield soldiers blocked the attack of the crossbow arrows, and the spearmen behind them immediately followed.

woohoo...

The kerosene cans fell with the crossbow arrows, the cans shattered, the kerosene exploded, and the soldiers' clothes and armor were stained with kerosene and began to burn.

The soldiers screamed and were burned and rolled on the ground.

But even so, the soldiers pushed forward.

Shi Le commanded from the back of the formation, and the cart of Bedzinu was pushed to the front of Zhenguo Temple, and the catapult was also in place.

Shi Le shouted: "Let go!"

Crossbow arrows and stones, as well as a small amount of kerosene cans, flew towards the position of the Long family army.

Wu Chuchu saw that Xixia's catapult started to start, and immediately shouted: "Shou!"

The infantry raised their shields to protect the surrounding soldiers.

A wave of arrows hit the shield, making a loud bang.

woo.. bang..

A boulder weighing tens of kilograms fell and hit a soldier. The soldier was instantly flattened and blood flowed from his mouth and nose.

A long arrow from a bed crossbow flew over and went straight to Long Chen's face.

Long Chen dodged his head sideways, and at the same time stretched out his hand to grab it suddenly. The crossbow arrow instantly slid back and flew back, but in the end, Long Chen firmly held it in his hand.

Both sides came within range, arrows and catapults attacking each other.

The tenant who was the cannon fodder in front was quickly killed, and the corpses were piled up at the foot of the mountain. The shield soldiers were still pushing forward, and the Xixia infantry rushed forward desperately. The Xixia army had already rushed to the position at the foot of the mountain. Climbing desperately, the Long family army picked up the bow and crossbow to shoot, and the rolling stones and trees fell down, and the Long family army and the Xixia army began to fight.

Seeing that the army had finally pushed under the city wall, and the soldiers had already begun to climb up the city wall, Shi Le felt a little more at ease.

"As long as we are close to each other, we can win by virtue of our strength."

Commander Li Chenglie said happily.

Shi Le nodded slightly: "That's right, we have 40 troops, and the Long Family's army is only 10."

"This king wants to see how useful Long Chengen's trick is in the face of an absolutely superior force!"

The Xixia army and the Long family army fought in a line, the crossbow arrows and kerosene cans were still falling, and both sides were shooting at the opposite rear positions, leaving the middle to fight each other.

"My lord, Shi Le wants to win in a melee!"

Wu Xiangyun said with some worry.

Long Chen said coldly: "Don't worry, let them attack."

There are solid city walls at the foot of the mountain. These walls are ten meters high and very thick. One layer after another, even if Shi Le captured the first layer, there will be a second layer on the mountain.

The city wall that was used to deal with Long Chen was now a fortress to stop Shi Le.

The Xixia army desperately climbed towards the city wall, while the Long family army relied on the city wall and fortifications to defend.

The privy envoy Lu Qichang was extremely anxious and said: "Your Majesty, the casualties in the siege are too great, can you..."

Shi Le's eyes were cold, and he said, "Today the Zhen Guo Temple will be destroyed!"

He doesn't care about the dead, he just wants to take back the Zhenguo Temple.

"kill..."

From morning to night, Shi Le kept ordering the attack. After finishing wave after wave, the shouts of killing continued.

There are more and more corpses under the city, and they are almost reaching the height of the city wall.

Ye Chang ran over with a knife in his hand and said, "My lord, brothers are too tired, the Xixia army is crazy, and their corpses are almost piled up to the height of the city wall."

Looking at the mountains of corpses below the city, Long Chen nodded slightly and said, "Change again, let the brothers behind replace you!"

There are defenders on every city wall, and Long Chen has changed several times.

Ye Chang immediately ordered a replacement, and the Xixia army was still rushing forward.

"My lord, if the fight continues like this, they will soon be able to capture the first city wall."

Wu Chuchu said worriedly.
