Chapter 633 White Horse Sieges the City
Li Wangyuan and others hid in this mansion.
Li Wangyuan was also sad to have tens of thousands of troops as his backing, but he was still in charge of the army.
After learning that the ground troops in Shu had arrived, this naturally made even worse.
Li Wangyuan and others' expressions changed, first angry, then helpless.
It is true that Shu is bullying others by virtue of power, but when fighting, how can anyone bully others without virtue?
Before, when the hot air balloons in the Western Xia army were more than the tiger, deer antlers and iron horse army in Shu, wouldn’t it be that the three white horse army were beaten by the hot air balloons?
Now more hot air balloons are gathered in Shu, and Li Wangyuan and others have nothing to say, just feel frustrated.
This is really a cycle of nature and retribution is unhappy.
Zhongsun Qifu has become much older and weaker over the years. He coughed softly and said, "Your Majesty, why not let's abandon Chongqing Prefecture, right?"
Li Wangyuan frowned, "But if this is the case, wouldn't our hard work in Kuizhou be completely in vain?"
Zhongsun Qifu said: "Even if we lose Chongqing Prefecture, at least we will conquer other parts of Kuizhou. If we give the Song Dynasty some benefits, they may still be happy to take over Kuizhou. Besides, this battle is not because we are unwilling to defend the city, but we are really unable to do so. The old minister recently studied what the Emperor of the Song Dynasty did and said it pertinently that he was quite benevolent and righteous. Maybe he could understand the helplessness of our Xixia. At that time, it would be impossible to put Princess Xiushu back."
Li Wangyuan hesitated, "But we have offended Zhao Xing before."
He sighed and said, "I am more familiar with that man Zhao Jing than you. When he followed Princess Mingzhu of the Yuan Dynasty, he had troubled him. In the end, we all fell into trouble in his hands. Zhao Jing treats his own people with kindness, but he is afraid that it will be less easy to talk to outsiders. If he insists on us taking down the entire Kuizhou, then we will have to attack Chongqing with all our troops, and we will definitely be even more damaged. Otherwise, we will have to abandon Kuizhou, and we will have to pay even more money and silver and horses, and we will not be able to get any benefits."
In fact, the abandonment of Chongqing Prefecture in Xixia is undoubtedly the best way to save troops. However, it is not just Li Wangyuan, but many other Xixia generals and ministers are reluctant to leave.
This seems to be a gambler's mind. He has already put up heavy bets, but he folds the card. How can he not feel heartbroken? How can he be willing to do so?
Seeing that Zhongsun Qifu and others did not say anything, Li Wangyuan said again: "I think it would be better to continue to defend Chongqing Prefecture and wait for the Song army to come. By time, the Song army should be not very far from Chongqing Prefecture. When they arrive, we should work together to defend Chongqing. Even if we can't defend, we can also leave Chongqing Prefecture to the Song army and withdraw the troops."
Zhongsun Qifu suddenly smiled, looking very relieved, "The emperor is wise."
Recently, anyone can find that Li Wangyuan has become more and more thorough in thinking about things. This is undoubtedly a blessing for the Western Xia country.
In the past, Zhongsun Qifu always tried every means to make Li Wangyuan obey his ideas, but now, he is willing to give up his thoughts and obey Li Wangyuan's orders.
It is impossible for a puppet emperor to grow too fast.
This old minister, who was loyal to the Western Xia royal family, was obviously more willing to see that Li Wangyuan had more and more his own opinions than obeyed his words.
"All the generals obey the orders."
Li Wangyuan issued an order, "You will lead your soldiers under your command to resist the soldiers attacking the city in Shu, and do not fight with great fanfare, and give the soldiers on the hot air balloon in Shu a chance. We do not try to defend the entire Chongqing Prefecture, as long as we delay time and wait until the Song army arrives in Chongqing Prefecture before making a decision."
"yes!"
All the generals took the order.
The chief general of the Flying Army was slightly puzzled, "Emperor, then general"
Li Wangyuan sighed: "General Qu, you will take the soldiers of the Qitian Army to wait for the first time!"
He really couldn't bear to let the Qitian Army go to the sky to die. It was not easy for him to do this little family fortune in Xixia.
Heliancheng and others left the mansion.
There are not many troops on the streets in the city, but in the dark, I am afraid that there will be undercurrents.
The hot air balloons and ground troops in Shu arrived almost at the same time outside the west wall of Chongqing Prefecture.
There were no soldiers guarding Xixia on the dilapidated city walls, and the White Horse Army in Shu could easily enter the city, with a rainbow of momentum.
When they arrived in the city, the hot air balloons in the air first dropped thunder in the air to bombard the ground troops.
This forced Heliancheng and others not to show their heads at all. Some could only continue to hide, while others retreated to the depths of the city.
The Xixia army was scattered in the city, and now it is obvious that it can no longer be coordinated and commanded. It can only be said that they are doing their own affairs.
Fortunately, when the hot air balloons in the air rushed over, the Xixia army hidden in the dark finally got a chance to emerge.
A general led his soldiers to rush out from all over the city, approaching the White Horse Army in Shu very quickly, and then started a fight.
Although the Xixia soldiers who entered the scattered sand were naturally not enemies of the White Horse Army with a vast formation, they undoubtedly hindered the speed of the White Horse Army's plundering city.
The hot air balloon army, named Shuzhong, which is actually the Dali Zhentian Army, did not turn back, but just continued to bomb and open the way into the city.
The biggest weakness of hot air balloons is that when both sides fight in close combat, it is difficult to achieve success again.
When the sky thunder explodes, it will not care which side the soldier is from. Those who are touched will either die or be injured.
There is a chariot in the middle of the White Horse Army formation.
There was someone on the chariot, with a blue shirt as jade as he looked cold, and it was Qin Han.
The capture of Chongqing Prefecture is of great strategic significance in Shuzhong. He, a military genius who has never met in Guigu Academy in a century, also went on an expedition personally.
A scout hurriedly ran to the chariot and knelt down, "The commander, the Western Xia army rushed out from all over the city to hinder the army from moving forward."
Qin Han nodded in a slight way, "If you pass the order down, just kill them. If they hurt them, they will not dare to show up."
"yes!"
