Chapter 851

However, what Xifeng Zhenlie did not expect was that the nearly 6,000 soldiers in the city also escaped quietly, leaving only less than 4,000 people.

When such news came into Xifeng Zhenlie's ears through his subordinates, Xifeng Zhenlie did not use murder and torture as he threatened at the beginning, except for a bitter smile.

The sky gradually turned dark and brighter, and when the sun jumped out of the horizon, the people in Yinzhou City were barely gone.

At this time, the Song army camp, which had slowly pressed to a place only one arrow away from the city wall, finally sounded the sound of war drums that were shaking. Countless Song Dynasty victories were dancing, and the brave soldiers rushed towards Yinzhou City like storm.

The Song army, who was as striking as the waves, did not retreat after fighting for a while, but advanced and advanced again. Only more than 4,000 exhausted defenders, almost everyone was injured, had collapsed after less than two incense sticks.

Xifeng Zhenlie committed suicide at the southern gate. After his death, all the more than 2,000 soldiers who were still alive all put down their weapons. On the 20th day when they were trapped by the Liao and Xia coalition forces, Yinzhou City was captured by the Song Dynasty.

At this moment, the 20,000 reinforcements sent by the Liao and Xia coalition forces came late and arrived in Shizhou the next day after Yinzhou City was destroyed.

After receiving the news of the fall of Yinzhou, the reinforcements, Wang Wei, the Western Xia and Jin dynasties, was really confused.

Finally, the commander of the Liaoxia coalition forces agreed to send 20,000 troops to aid. However, now, the army has just crossed the Wuding River and has received the news that Yinzhou City has fallen, and the main general Xifeng Zhenlie committed suicide at the top of Yinzhou City.

Shizhou commander went to Li Zhongye and stood aside, took the corner of his eyes and secretly glanced at the master Wang Wei, who was sitting in the main seat with a gloomy face.

"Why don't you send reinforcements to Yinzhou?" Brother Wei Mingcha slowly breathed a breath of turbidity, put aside the discomfort in his heart, and his eyes fell on Li Zhongye like a knife.

"Your Highness, it's not that the last general is unwilling to be sent, but that he really dares not be sent. The troops in Shizhou are less than 10,000 now, and there is no obstacle between them and Yinzhou.

If there are fewer reinforcements, it will not only be of no help, but will be eaten up by the Song army simply. If there are too many, the Song army may simply leave only some of the troops trapped Yinzhou and come directly to trouble me in Shizhou."

"If Shizhou is lost, then Yinzhou is equivalent to the belongings of the Song people. If Shizhou is there, even if Yinzhou is lost, at least Shizhou can stop the Song army from embezzling the eastern part of our Daxia..."

The reason why Mr. Wei Mingcha didn't know what to say for a moment, after all, what he said made him very reasonable.

Yinzhou is important, but Shizhou's strategic position must be more than Yinzhou. In comparison, Wei Mingcha also knows deeply that if you want to make a choice, you can only give up Yinzhou and stick to Shizhou.

Because Shizhou is more dangerous, it is also a hub of Longzhou, Yinzhou and Zuoxiang Shenyong Army. If this place is lost, then the eastern territory of Xixia will be divided into two by the Song State, and in that way, the eastern part of Xixia will be even more difficult to support the situation.

"Oh..." Wei Mingcha Ge sighed quietly, who could he blame? He didn't send troops to Li Zhongye? Please, there were only less than 10,000 troops left in Shizhou. If there were too many troops, how could Shizhou defend? If there were too few troops, it would be useless.

The reason why the troops in the eastern part of Xixia became so weak is ultimately blamed for the fact that before Xiaoliang defeated Hongdezhai last year, the old thing Liang Yibi led tens of thousands of elite troops from Xixia to surrender to Song Ting and offered the two prefectures of You and Hongzhou, and was successfully attacked by the Song army in Yanzhou.

This is the fundamental reason why the military strength of the Western Xia is difficult to continue. If the king of the country, Li Ganshun, had shown his grace to the Liang family after he took power at that time, even if he showed goodwill first, it would not be too late to deal with the Liang family's military power.

But the king Li Ganshun, who had been frustrated for many years, did not want to wait for a moment. In other words, he was afraid that he would live in the shadow of the Liang family like his father.

That's why once you have the chance, you will immediately overturn the Liang family under the table. The result is that Liang Yi, who is leading the army, can find an opportunity.

However, it has reached this point now, and it is useless to blame anyone else.

"You are also blamed for this matter. It is better to carefully collect the soldiers and civilians who have escaped from Yinzhou, and incorporate the soldiers into the city defense of Shizhou, and the people must also try to resettle them. In addition, the soldiers and civilians who have retired from Yinzhou must carefully clarify and not interfere with the spies from Song State."

"The officials understand that the Song army has now seized Yinzhou and has not yet established a foothold. Why don't your highness know the coalition forces anymore and send more troops to take advantage of this time to regain Yinzhou? Otherwise, let the Song Kingdom manage to manage it. The officials are worried that Yinzhou will no longer be owned by my Daxia like the three states..."

"Enough!" Brother Wei Mingcha couldn't help but shout and glared fiercely at Li Zhongye. Do you think I don't know?

But the problem is that I can tell you that the Liaoxia coalition forces were unable to take the lead. The fact that the Xia Kingdom was able to draw these 20,000 troops to reinforce was already the one that the Privy Councilor Po Chaoxinde asked for was almost crying.

Although Wei Mingcha Ge was very angry, when he was in Youzhou, he even had the urge to go against the will of the commander of the coalition army and lead his soldiers to attack Yinzhou.

However, he really did not dare to do this. The consequences caused by doing this are likely to make His Highness, the prince of the Liao Kingdom, furious and turned against him.

At that time, more than 200,000 Liao troops were in the hinterland of Xixia, which made them angry. Haha... Wei Mingcha Ge was not only a pain in his heart...

"After the matter of Yinzhou, I reported to the king of the country at the meeting that the most important thing now is to speed up the time to repair the city defense of Shizhou, in case the Song army took Yinzhou and continue to invade north. In addition, another 5,000 troops were dispatched to Longzhou to assist Longzhou in defense..."

Although the boss Wei Ming Cha brought reinforcements, he only brought more than 20,000 troops. It was impossible to attack. The only thing he could do was to defend and defend to the death. After the Liaoxia coalition failed to break through Youzhou, he defended the eastern territory of Xixia.

At this moment, Su Dongpo was in Yinzhou City, looking at the city that had become devastated in the offensive and defense of both sides.

The evacuation of the Xixia people saved the Song Dynasty a lot of worries. Except for 20,000 cavalry, the army continued to be stationed in the camp outside the city, most of the remaining 80,000 soldiers and horses entered the city.

On the day of seizing Yinzhou, Mr. Su had ordered to mobilize supplies from the cities behind him to repair Yinzhou's city defense as quickly as possible to prevent the counterattack of the Liaoxia army.
