Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

It was getting darker and darker. After the 100,000 Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army arrived here, they immediately stationed here.

The officers and men of the Jingyuan Army and the Huanqing Army also helped the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army set up camp.

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

The sky was dark, and the night in the northwest was still a bit cold at this time. Everyone sat by the fire, talking and looking at the situation on the city wall of Xingqing Mansion.

"You have been here for more than three days, how effective is the siege?" Zhao Chen asked while eating a piece of roast beef.

"Your Majesty, this Xingqing Mansion is worthy of being the capital of Xixia. It is extremely strong and extraordinary!" Zhao Zhe said.

"When that day just arrived, I thought that Xingqing Mansion was not prepared. The Jingyuan Army and Huanqing Army would definitely be able to conquer Xingqing Mansion in one fell swoop! Unexpectedly, Xingqing Mansion was already prepared! There are not many, but countless party members from the Xingqing Mansion have come to the city wall to resist us. Moreover, there are also a lot of equipment for defending the city in the Xixia capital, and those weapons are extremely sharp. In the past three days, we have suffered great losses. "Liu Kai said.

"How much loss?" Zhao Chen asked.

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

"What!" Zhao Chen was taken aback.

You know, before attacking Hongzhou, Youzhou, and Yanzhou, the main force attacking Xixia had never lost so many soldiers and horses. But now when they attack Xingqing Mansion, they lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in a short period of time. Zhao Chen really couldn't believe it.

"Your Majesty, we don't have siege weapons in our hands, so it's very difficult to take down Xingqing Mansion. This Xingqing Mansion is much stronger than Hongzhou, Yanzhou and other places before, and we can't take it down just by relying on ladders. "Liu Kai said.

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

"Oh?" Liu Kai was taken aback.

"The youths of the Production and Construction Corps are transporting food, grass and supplies, 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 in northern Shaanxi has been closely following behind the main force of Xixia. They also marched lightly, so naturally it was impossible to carry siege weapons. The Production and Construction Corps followed behind them, and Zhao Chen had ordered them to send all the grain, grass, supplies, and siege weapons left by the main force of Xixia outside Yanzhou City.

After all, they should arrive soon.

"So, that's great! We have more than 200,000 troops surrounding Xingqing Mansion, and we have siege weapons, so we will definitely be able to take it down!" Liu Kai said excitedly.

"That's right, we will definitely be able to take it down! Send an order to let the soldiers have a good night's rest! We will continue to attack the city when the siege weapons arrive tomorrow morning," Zhao Chen said.

More than 200,000 troops surrounded Xingqing Mansion. At this moment, soldiers from all armies were lighting fires and cooking. Looking down from the city wall, there are bonfires everywhere. Occasionally, you can still hear the singing from the army. These singing are extremely passionate. They are songs produced by the Propaganda Department to praise the long history of thousands of years, the prosperous civilization of China, and countless battles in the Han and Tang Dynasties. Poems were made into songs, others were tributes to heroes, and so on.

The singing in the army came one after another, continuously spreading to the city wall. Many people in the Xixia Xingqing Mansion knew Chinese. After hearing this singing, they felt even more nervous, so there is no need to say more.

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

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

I don't know since when, Song Jun has undergone such a big change!

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

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

"Two hundred thousand people, that's all! Your Majesty, the Song army has changed a lot in just five years! At the earliest time, the Song army defeated Wanyan Huonv. We all thought that Wanyan Huonu was too young. , The war experience is limited, and now it seems that this is not the case at all. It is not Wanyan who is a female messenger, but the Song army has become stronger, and they are really too strong, so powerful." Weiming Anhui said.

Xia Chongzong nodded slightly.

At this moment, another person came over from a distance, it was Brother Li Cha.

"Your Majesty!" Brother Li Cha knelt down on the ground and saluted Xia Chongzong.

Xia Chongzong just snorted coldly, he was extremely angry towards Brother Li Cha in his heart. In his opinion, it was Brother Li Cha who destroyed the 300,000 Xixia main force. If the 300,000 Xixia main forces were in the Xingqing Mansion, why would they be afraid of the Song Dynasty attacking the city?

"Your Majesty, the battle at Wudaotan was not the fault of General Chage! General Chage also wanted to rush to Xingqing Mansion to rescue His Majesty! I hope His Majesty will forgive General Chage." Wei Ming Anhui said.

"Get flat." Xia Chongzong said lightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Brother Li Cha stood up and said.

"General Cha Ge, do you think we can hold Xingqing Mansion?" Wei Ming An Hui asked.

"The last general doesn't know! I'm afraid it will be difficult!" Brother Li Cha smiled wryly and shook his head.

"No matter how difficult it is, we must hold on! If the Xingqing Mansion is lost, Xixia will perish! Therefore, we must hold on." At this moment, a voice came from behind, and a stunning seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman appeared here.

"My concubine, why are you here?" The person who came was Ren Dejing's daughter Ren Yuqin, and Xia Chongzong finally had a smile on his face, and said.

"The concubine saw that His Majesty hadn't come back, so she 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 your lords, be careful! As long as we can defend Xingqing Mansion, we still have countless people and other cities, and we will be able to rejuvenate sooner or later! As for the Han people, they cannot stay in Xingqing Mansion for too long. Time, they will return to Guanshan sooner or later!" Ren Yuqin said.

"Ai Fei is right!" Xia Chongzong kept nodding, and the Wei Ming Anhui, Brother Li Cha and others beside him also nodded.

*** ***

On the second day, when the sky was getting dark, another army of 30,000 people came from a distance. They were the youths of the Production and Construction Corps.

They drove horse-drawn carts and donkey carts, brought countless supplies of food and grass, and brought countless siege weapons.

Food, grass, supplies, and siege weapons were distributed to each army, and cheers continued to come from the army.

At present, all armies immediately assembled siege weapons, and countless trebuchets were set up in all directions! Siege vehicles were also set up at the gates of each city, and countless arrow stacks were set up, and countless huge siege crossbows were placed on the arrow stacks! Numerous huge shields and tall ladders were also distributed to each team.

When the sun was just rising, the siege began again.

After three days and three nights of fighting, many parts of the moat had been filled in. At this moment, the soldiers of all armies headed directly towards the city wall.

Countless arrows shot crazily towards the top of the city wall! Many of them are divine 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 cavalry, the Song army always used bows to ride. The bow and arrow technology of the Song Dynasty reached the peak of the cold weapon era. They developed countless infantry bows, siege crossbows, and god-arm crossbows. Wait for the weapon. 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 been lost.

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

However, there are also countless catapults on the city walls of Xingqing Mansion, and their range even exceeds the catapults of the Song Army below. Xingqing Mansion is the capital of Xixia. The Xixia people have been operating here for more than a hundred years, and all kinds of weapons are exceptionally sophisticated, which is of course no small matter.

After half an hour, there was a sound of shouting and killing.

Countless Song soldiers rushed towards the city wall holding the ladders. They set up the ladders and went up along the ladders, while there were countless Song soldiers holding bows and arrows and shooting upwards. But above, the Xixia people are also counterattacking, and the bows and arrows of the Xixia people are also constantly shooting down.

The brutal siege battle has begun again!

Song troops kept rushing up, but this time the Xixia soldiers and people in Xingqing Mansion were extremely tenacious. Perhaps they also knew that if Xingqing Mansion was breached, their country would perish, and their fate would be unpredictable. Perhaps they thought that their parents, relatives, and young children would all be massacred, so they showed a tenacious will that they had never seen before. .

A day has passed, and the Song army suffered heavy casualties, but the Xixia soldiers and civilians above also suffered heavy casualties.

As the sun was setting, the Song army still had no intention of withdrawing their troops. They were still attacking the city crazily, and the soldiers went forward one after another, regardless of life and death! Many soldiers had smiles on their faces when they were about to die. They were able to die for the country. They died well and felt joyful. 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, and Song Jun still didn't stop.

In the direction of the northwest city wall, at this moment, there was a sudden cheer that shook the sky.

Li Xianzhong, the chief general of the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army, personally led five hundred soldiers to the city wall. Under Li Xianzhong's leadership, the Xixia soldiers and people on the city wall retreated one after another.
