Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Brother Li Cha has led the army for many years. Although today is only a day of siege, he immediately felt the great changes in the Song army! But Wanyan Zongqian couldn't believe it, and said with disdain: "You said that you saw the shadow of our Jurchen army from them. How is this possible? Our Jurchen army is invincible in the world, and people say that the Jurchen army is invincible! And the Han people, that is the world! The most cowardly race! You see the shadow of our Jurchen army from them? It's really ridiculous! Absurd!"

Brother Li Cha frowned, and said: "Master Wanyan, according to what I saw today, it is true! But this is just defending the city. If it is really a plain battle, the Han people should not be so brave! The Han people are best at defending the city." City! Over the past hundred years, we Xixia have gone south many times, but their ability to defend the city is too high, so they always block us!"

Wanyan Zonggan laughed and said: "Isn't that enough? They just have a very high ability to defend the city! Their real combat power is not as good as your Xixia people, and even far worse than our Jurchens!"

Brother Li Cha thought about it for the same reason, nodded immediately, and said: "Lord Wanyan is right!"

Wanyan Zong asked: "How long will it take for you to conquer Yanzhou City?"

Brother Li Cha said: "The Han people are good at defending the city. They have a lot of troops in the city. I'm afraid it will be difficult to take down Yanzhou City within a month or two!"

Wanyan Zong snorted coldly and said, "Does it take so long?"

Brother Li Cha said: "I have sent people to inform Xiazhou and Liangzhou that there are still some garrisons there, and now the garrisons there are also coming towards Yanzhou! When they arrive, they will definitely be able to break through Yanzhou City in one fell swoop! "

Wanyan Zongqian nodded and said: "After breaking through Yanzhou, you immediately go south and attack Guanshan together with our Jurchen army!"

Brother Li Cha said: "This is natural!"

The night was getting dark, Wanyan Zongqian had already laid down to rest, and Brother Li Cha was patrolling the camp! In today's siege battle, he felt that the strength of the Song army had greatly increased, so he always felt something was wrong in his heart! He was afraid that the Song army would steal the camp in the middle of the night, so he was very careful about his precautions! He personally inspected the barracks and told the soldiers guarding the camp not to slack off!

The rest of the soldiers are already sound asleep at this moment! They trekked all the way from Yinchuan to here, and after a day of fighting, they were already exhausted!

Fortunately, there was no camp stealing that night!

Early the next morning, Brother Li Cha launched an attack on Yanzhou City again!

More than 300,000 of them attacked the city from all directions, but during the whole morning, their men almost never climbed the city wall!

Brother Li Cha frowned, he ordered the army to withdraw!

After that, all the generals in Brother Li Cha's generals got together, and everyone discussed how to attack the city! Some talked about making siege vehicles, some said they dug tunnels, the generals put forward various ideas! Brother Li Cha listened carefully, and said: "Tomorrow we will use these methods to attack the city!"

This afternoon, the Xixia army did not continue to attack the city, but rested!

On March 13th, the sky was getting dark, Brother Li Cha had just woken up, and a lieutenant hurried to Brother Li Cha's side, with an anxious expression on his face!

"What happened?" Seeing the general's expression, Brother Li Cha immediately asked.

"General, we just got the news that the Song Army has detoured to the Tiemen Pass and is attacking the Tiemen Pass!" said the lieutenant general.

"What?" Brother Li Cha was taken aback!

Tiemen Pass is an important pass in the north-south direction of Xixia! Once the Iron Gate Pass falls, the cities in the north may be caught in the flames of war! He had judged that the number of the Song army was about 150,000. He did not expect that some of the Song army would guard the city here, while the other would go to Tiemenguan!

"How many Song soldiers are there at the iron gate?" Brother Li Cha said.

"About 50,000 people!" said the lieutenant general.

"Fifty thousand people!" Brother Li Cha frowned!

"General, we should rescue Tiemenguan immediately!" the deputy general said.

"It's too far away from Tiemenguan! And there are only 50,000 people attacking Tiemenguan. There are 10,000 guards at Tiemenguan. They should be able to guard it! The most important thing is that 50,000 people went to Tiemenguan , Yanzhou should only be guarded by 100,000 Song troops now! I said that the number of Song troops seen these days is limited, so that’s the case! We should step up our attack on Yanzhou, first defeat Yanzhou, and destroy the 100,000 Song troops here. Destroy them all, and then go north to rescue Tiemenguan and destroy the remaining 50,000 Song troops!" Brother Li Cha said.

"However, if Tiemenguan falls, it will be terrible!" said the lieutenant general.

"Don't be afraid! The Tiemen Pass has fallen, and the north is also a desert. Only through the desert can you reach the cities in the north! The Song army is fighting in our Xixia territory, lacking military supplies, and it is very difficult to go north! Moreover, the Jurchen of Guanshan, The army in the south of the Yangtze River has been eyeing the Song army, and it is impossible for the Song army to stay in our Xixia territory for a long time!" Brother Li Cha is worthy of being a veteran, and he made a decision immediately!

The lieutenant general nodded and said no more at the moment!

Brother Li Cha immediately ordered to continue the siege!

On March 13th, for a whole day, the siege continued, but the Xixia army still couldn't knock down the city wall! Their quality is too different from that of the Song army. In addition, the Song army has been here for more than a month and is far superior to the Xixia army in terms of physical and mental aspects. Therefore, the Xixia army's siege effect is extremely limited!

On March 14th, the Xixia army took a day off! Brother Li Cha originally wanted to order the army to attack the city, but the generals thought that the soldiers were tired and should rest! Brother Li Cha had to stop the siege!

On the morning of March 15th, the war drums sounded, and more than 300,000 Xixia people were preparing to attack the city again!

At this moment, more than a dozen figures appeared in the distance! I saw more than a dozen people galloping towards here!

As soon as they appeared, someone from the Xixia army immediately went up to intercept them!

"I am Li Renli, King of Wei! Quickly get out of the way!" the man on the horse said loudly in a dusty manner.

"What? His Royal Highness King Wei?" Those Xixia soldiers who intercepted were all taken aback!

It's just that they didn't recognize Li Renli either, and someone stopped Li Renli right now! Li Renli took out his gold medal, and these people believed in Li Renli's identity!

"Your Highness, why are you here now?" asked the next captain.

"Hurry up and take me to see Brother Cha!" Li Renli said anxiously.

"The general is commanding the siege now! When the general returns, we will take you to see him!" said the captain.

"The matter is very important, I want to see him now!" Li Renli said.

"This..." The school lieutenant hesitated and said, "Go to see the general at this time, I'm afraid the general will punish me!"

"What time is it, you guys are still dawdling here! Take me to see brother Cha right now! I have the imperial decree!" Li Renli said anxiously.

"Ah! Imperial decree!" Hearing this, the captain didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately took Li Renli to see Brother Li Cha!

Brother Li Cha is commanding the battle. He is riding on a horse, constantly watching the scene on the city wall! In his opinion, the tenacity of the Han people is incredible! The Xixia people have already adopted a variety of siege methods, but they were all blocked by the Han people!

"It will take a long time to break through Yanzhou City!" Brother Li Cha frowned and said secretly.

At this moment, the school lieutenant walked over from the army with Li Renli!

"General Li!" After seeing Brother Li Cha, Li Renli shouted from behind.

Brother Li Cha turned his head and immediately chopped down Li Renli, he was taken aback for a moment! In his opinion, Li Renli is not like a prince at all now, Li Renli looks like an ordinary person, the clothes on his body are extremely dirty, his eyes are dull, obviously exhausted to the extreme! He was very puzzled, he didn't understand why Li Renli appeared here!

"His Royal Highness, aren't you in the capital? Why are you here now!" Brother Li Cha said.

"General Li, I'm here on His Majesty's order! Your Majesty has an order to lead the army back to Xingqing Mansion immediately!" Li Renli said.

"What?" Brother Li Cha froze there for a moment! The captain who brought Li Renli over earlier was also stunned! The dozen or so guards next to him were also stunned at the moment!

"King Wei, are you joking?" Brother Li Cha said coldly.

"This is a letter from His Majesty! Come and have a look! There are also letters from the Prime Minister here, all for you!" Li Renli said.

At that moment, Li Renli took out two letters from his bosom and handed them to Brother Li Cha!

After reading the letter, Li Cha's face turned pale, and he said, "How could this be?"

"The army of the Song Dynasty has arrived at the Xingqing Mansion, and now the Xingqing Mansion is in shock three times a day! Your Majesty is in danger! General Li, lead the army back immediately!" Li Renli said.

After hearing Li Renli's words, the school lieutenant and soldiers next to him were stunned again, and the school lieutenant said in disbelief: "Your Highness, what are you talking about? The Song army has come to the Xingqing mansion? How is it possible?"

"That's the way it is! Your Majesty ordered you to return to the teacher immediately!" Li Renli said.

Brother Li Cha's face was covered with sweat at the moment, he didn't believe it at all! But Xia Chongzong's handwritten letter was in his hand, and he couldn't help but believe it!

"How could the Song Army come to Xingqing Mansion? They have been in Yanzhou City, but some of them have gone to Tiemen Pass! It is impossible for them to come to Xingqing Mansion!" Brother Li Cha said.

"General Li, what time is it now? Are you still saying that it is impossible for them to come to Xingqing Mansion? Aren't you ignoring the facts? Your Majesty is in danger, so hurry back to the teacher!" Li Renli said anxiously.

"Could it be that the Song army marched from Qinfeng Road? But if they marched from Qinfeng Road, they would be found in many states and counties along the way! Could it be that they came to Xingqing Mansion by detour from the desert! But even if they detoured from the desert and passed the border Will it be discovered by others?" Brother Li Cha muttered to himself.

He didn't know that the Song army had gone through countless hardships. First, they crossed the border from Killing Niu Ridge, and then detoured from the desert to the area around Qingtongguan. Xingqing Mansion! They marched lightly all the way, did not slack off any luggage, did not carry any siege weapons, they just came to Xixia with more than ten days' rations and weapons! It was an extremely difficult journey, a journey that no one had traveled before, so Brother Li Cha couldn't guess it!

"General! Return to the teacher!" Li Renli said anxiously.

"This..." Brother Li Cha is extremely hesitant now!

They are attacking the city. If they return to the army now, what will happen to Yanzhou and other places?

"Your Majesty has an order. If Brother Li Cha does not obey the imperial edict, I will take over your position as General and lead the army back to Xingqing Mansion! Rescue Your Majesty!" Li Renli gritted his teeth.

"I will withdraw my troops and lead the army back to Xingqing Mansion!" Brother Li Cha said.
