Chapter 809: The Battle of Yongmu (Part 1)
The White Horse Army in Shu was not polite, and immediately gathered tens of thousands of troops from Kuizhou to Tongchuan, which was not far from Yongmu. It was a sign that he would continue to go north after destroying the Western Xia army.
The people of Kuizhou Road did not know their internal aura, and the army and the people shared the same hatred of the enemy, and calls for expelling the Western Xia army in the territory were rising.
The Xixia Army was beaten to death by the White Horse Army in the first battle, but she dared to make a comeback. This is a typical ungrateful way.
At the end of June.
The weather is already quite hot.
The heat waves were flying on the vast earth, and the sun steamed the plants and trees were dejected and listless.
The Western Xia army stationed in Yongmu County before moving, but the White Horse Army seemed to be unable to withstand the voices of the people in the country, and the army drove from Tongchuan to Yongmu.
The total number of soldiers was more than 50,000. Commander-in-chief Shen Yongyi personally led the army in front of the battlefield, and his murderous aura was very fierce.
Shen Yongyi was a veteran general in Shuzhong, or was the famous young hero in Shuzhong's army who had never fought in the Song and Yuan dynasties.
Now over the years, the higher the reputation, the more you win the White Horse Army, the more you become more experienced.
Although the white horse in Shu has not really been on the battlefield for decades, being able to break Kuizhou as soon as it left Shu and then defeat Xixia can already show Shen Yongyi's outstanding features.
At the same time, Dali, on the west side of Guangnan West Road, was also ready to move. More than 100,000 Dali imperial guards went out of Dali to march towards Guangnan West Road.
Ordinary people didn't know the inside story, but officials who learned the news in the Song Dynasty obviously knew Dali's plans.
This is to take advantage of the Kuizhou Rebellion to restrain Zhang Jue while breaking through Guangnan West Road.
But the officials of the Song Dynasty did not take this seriously.
Deputy Zhang Jue ordered 100,000 troops to shake Hubei. Can't he stop the mere Dali slut who wanted to take the opportunity to attack Guangnan West Road?
Even Zhang Jue himself did not make any noise. It was as if he was sure that the Dali Army would not dare to break through Guangnan West Road.
When the sun was hanging west, Shen Yongyi, who was old and stronger, brought more than 50,000 white horse troops outside Yongmu City.
White silk is everywhere, and silver armor is like the sea.
Shen Yongyi ordered the soldiers to rest on the spot, not to camp or rebel. The soldiers in the army all used dry food to fill their hunger.
Li Wangyuan brought his old minister Zhongsun Qifu and other young and strong generals of the Western Xia to the top of the city, looking at the White Horse Army outside the city.
After a while, he turned his head and asked Zhongsun Qifu in a low voice: "Teacher, what's there in Yipintang?"
Zhongsun Qifu said: "Report to Your Highness, they should have arrived in Yongzhou by calculating the time."
"oh."
Li Wangyuan nodded slightly, "Then in this battle, our army will no longer hide its weaknesses, right?"
Zhongsun Qifu said: "We can destroy all the White Horse Army."
Black clouds sway the city.
The murderous aura outside the city is overwhelming.
The murderous intent on the city wall is terrifying.
In the Battle of Zhongzhou, the Xixia army had not broken the entire city and lost more than 10,000 soldiers. At present, they dispatched troops from Zhuoluo and the Southern Army Division in the territory, and nearly 60,000 defenders in the city were.
For Xixia, this is naturally a big battle that must not be taken lightly.
The six major military departments of Yan, Heishan Weifu, Xiping, Gansu, Baimaqiang Town, Zhuoluo and Nan, plus the Xiangqing Army standing on the side of Zhongxing Prefecture. The ethnic groups such as Dangxiang, Han people were mixed, and the court forces were in chaos in the army, with a total military force of less than 200,000. In the battle of Zhongzhou, Xixia had already injured some muscles and bones, and was defeated again. Zhongsun Qifu and others worked hard to accumulate fame, military strength, financial resources, and people's hearts would be greatly affected.
At that time, Li Wangyuan, the prince of Kuizhou, was afraid that Mo would be resisted by the people and gentry in the country.
The situation in Lintao, Fengxiang, and Lizhou, which had just been surrendered, is even more unpredictable. The Yuan generals who were originally in charge of several routes may not be willing to be tied to the Xixia boat to overturn.
Therefore, although the Xixia generals and ministers who had some confidence in defeating the White Horse Army after having hot air balloons and sky thunder seemed relaxed, they were actually very solemn in their hearts.
If you win, the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe. If you lose, you will be worried about internal and external troubles.
After Heliancheng and others left Li Wangyuan, they would scatter all over the city to boost morale.
At night, nearly five hundred hot air balloons with fire lit up outside the south city gate rose to the sky.
The sound of the horn at the top of the city.
Li Wangyuan stood on the top of the city without moving.
There were only a few hundred guards on the top of the city, and when they watched the hot air balloon slowly approaching, they felt fear in their hearts.
Suddenly, Li Wangyuan turned his head and asked Zhongsun Qifu next to him, "Teacher, how was the arrangement outside the city?"
Zhongsun Qifu said: "The Qitian Army has already been in place. Just wait for the cannons to fire, and I will definitely catch the White Horse Army off guard."
Li Wangyuan looked up at the sky and stopped talking.
Five hundred hot air balloons approach the city.
There were hundreds of people wearing black robes in front of the White Horse Army formation outside the city, with their paces fast, with thunder thunder hanging from their waists, and they rushed towards the city gate with a ladder.
The old Xixia imperial stern chuckled and said, "After these white horse troops won the victory in Zhongzhou, they really did not take our Xixia soldiers seriously."
Li Wangyuan gently held the two swords hanging around his waist with both hands and snorted coldly: "Of course they suffer."
With his eyesight, he could see that the hundreds of black-robed men who rushed in the night were all masters in the White Horse Army.
This is the sharp knife to break through the city gate.
If it were before, hundreds of masters in the army would be enough. But now, it would be a delusion to get close to the city gate.
Next to him was the general of the Dangxiang clan bowing to Li Wangyuan, "Your Highness, are you ready to face the enemy?"
Li Wangyuan looked at Zhongsun Qifu, and the old emperor gently stroked the gray-white beard that was hanging to his chest and nodded slightly.
The generals of the Dangxiang tribe shouted loudly: "Prepare to meet the enemy!"
Li Wangyuan took Zhongsun Qifu down the city wall, looked up and looked into the sky, "Is Tuoba Sen no longer able to go down the city wall?"
Zhongsun Qifu said: "The city gate will be broken. Tuoba Sen is more useful to sacrifice his life for the country than to live."
The duplex surname Tuoba was a top wealthy noble family in Xixia. It can be regarded as the most deeply rooted ancient family in Xixia except for the Western Xia royal family.
Tuoba Sen was born in the last branch of the Tuoba family, and was affiliated with the Xiangqing Army. He was the commander of a thousand men. Originally, he might not have been used to defend the city, but Zhongsun Qifu recommended him to Li Wangyuan, which was obviously a little scheming.
Li Wangyuan didn't ask much, nodded and walked deep into the city.
A mere Tuoba Sen would not be dissatisfied with death. Li Wangyuan naturally would not care too much.
Five hundred hot air balloons arrived at the top of the city, carrying the domineering arrogance of Zhongzhou's victory, and threw thunder as soon as they arrived at the top of the city.
Rocks are flying.
Smoke filled the city.
In the smoke of gunpowder, hundreds of soldiers of Xiangqing fled in panic.
Someone wanted to go down the city, but was blocked by the surveillance officer who was blocked from the stairs without hesitation to draw his sword and kill it on the spot.
Tuoba Sen's eyes flashed with fierce light, thinking that this was an opportunity to make meritorious service. He jumped quickly on the top of the city, but his eyes were always staring at the hundreds of men in black robes under the city.
