Chapter 830 The Battle of Chongqing (Part 2)
Suddenly, thick smoke rolled on the top of the city and gravel splashed.
A white horse military flag was blown into pieces in the smoke.
The shame that the Xixia army encountered in Zhongzhou that day was finally completely returned to the White Horse Army.
Li Wangyuan waved again.
There is a flag soldier in a high female car waving the flag in his hand.
The snare drums sounded.
The vanguard army had about 5,000 people divided into five small formations and pressed towards the Chongqing Prefecture Gate.
The flags fluttered, and the murderous aura in the army was a man of great power.
After reaching only five hundred meters outside the city, the vanguard stopped again.
Then an army formed by thousands of soldiers suddenly ran towards the city gate, shouting and killing sounds shook the sky.
When we arrived at the side of the moat, ladders were rumbling on the moat.
There were not many white horse soldiers on the front of the city, and they did not dare to bring the sky thunder to the front of the city. At this time, they could only use bows and crossbows and arrows to fight against the enemy.
Amid the rumbling sound, there are only more than a hundred people who can still have the energy to resist the enemy. These little arrows undoubtedly cannot hinder the Xixia army below.
But soon, the Xixia soldiers were able to cross the moat and rushed towards the city gate.
In front of the army, Li Wangyuan, Zhongsun Qifu and others showed some smiles on their lips.
The Song Dynasty gave them the manufacturing methods of sky thunder and hot air balloons, which was a great help to them.
If it weren't for these two powerful weapons, the Western Xia army would not have defeated the White Horse Army in such a way.
But if we want to say that these Western Xia nobles had any gratitude to the Song Dynasty at this time, it would be a nonsense. They couldn't say that they were still scolding the Emperor of Song Dynasty, which was really stupid.
Where can there be any human favors for the matter between countries?
They only thought that the method of making these two powerful weapons by Emperor Song was also hiding evil intentions, and wanted them to kill them with the White Horse Army. In the end, the Song Dynasty enjoyed its success.
No matter how bad it is, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty also wanted them to take Kuizhou and then exchange it for a mere Princess Xiushu.
But the little emperor of the Song Dynasty probably wouldn't have expected that the emperor would change in a short period of time and no longer regard Princess Xiushu as more important than the entire country?
Zhongsun Qifu turned his head and looked at Li Wangyuan and said softly: "Emperor, if you take down Chongqing Prefecture in this way, the entire Kuizhou will belong to our Xixia. Just in terms of national borders, we can be far superior to Dali and comparable to the Song Dynasty."
Even with his cunning, his heart was infuriated at this moment.
In this era, the territory was a symbol of national strength.
For example, in the Yuan Dynasty, he could overlook the world because he had a territory far surpassing the Song Dynasty, Xixia and Dali.
If you have land, there are people. If you have people, it means that soldiers who can go to the battlefield to kill enemies can be continuously there.
Taking Kuizhou will allow the Western Xia to add tens of thousands of troops.
Li Wangyuan nodded slightly, "Lord Zhongsun made great contributions. By the way, what happened to Tuoba Sen?"
Zhongsun Qifu said: "Tuoba Sen sacrificed his life for the country, and the emperor's edict of appeasement has been sent to Tuoba's family. He should be able to go to the Weifu Army Division of Heishan in some time."
He is confident.
A prominent family like the Tuoba family doesn't care about gold and silver, but more about honor and favor.
He killed Tuoba Sen and made great efforts to promote Tuoba Sen to sacrifice his life for the bloody battle of the country, which was to create an excuse to enhance honor and favor for the Tuoba family.
The Tuoba family had no choice but to bear this honor.
This is a chess game, and it is also a chess game that can force the Tuoba family to rely closely on the royal family.
Li Wangyuan nodded softly again, "I asked Tuoba Xiong to enter the court as an official. Teacher, do you think he will agree?"
Zhongsun Qifu smiled softly, "The position of the Taiwei in the dynasty is the ultimate honor and favor. If Tuoba Xiong dared not accept it, his Tuoba family would not have had a good life."
"Will Tuoba Xiong accept it?"
"Tuoba Xiong was not able to explore enough, but he had more than enough defense in the city, so he should have this brain. He didn't have the courage to put the entire Tuoba family in the opposite direction of the dynasty."
Li Wangyuan sighed softly, "When I can conquer all the prominent families in the territory, I will be truly relieved."
Zhongsun Qifu gently stroked his long beard, "If you win this battle, the emperor will wait for the heads of the family to show goodwill to the court."
Boom.
In the short period of time when the two were talking, the towering city gate of Chongqing Prefecture collapsed.
This big city, which can be said to be a very unfortunate one, has experienced many wars in just a few decades.
If the corpses under the city are facing each other, they may be as high as the city wall.
Li Wangyuan waved his hand again, and another 20,000 army rushed towards the city.
Dust is flying.
The yellow dust rolled up, making the sky blurry.
Just hundreds of meters outside the city wall, the remaining 4,000 vanguards burst out with loud shouts, and they also rushed into the city at the same time.
The already mottled city wall of Chongqing Prefecture was even more ragged under repeated bombings.
There are no more white horse soldiers running back and forth on the top of the city.
However, as soon as the vanguard army broke into the city gate, they encountered unexpected resistance.
They thought that even if the White Horse Army, which had escaped from battles, would not defend the Chongqing Prefecture even if they knew it was impossible. However, the city was in a defensive posture.
The Xixia vanguard army, who was rushing in the front, had not yet run out of the corridor, and there was a scene of thousands of arrows being fired in the city.
The arrows shot into the corridor like rain.
The sound of bow and crossbow sounded constantly.
At the end of the corridor, white horse soldiers tied with white silk were lying densely on the ground, pulling their legs and shooting together as the general shouted.
Behind is the longbowman.
There was an arrow carrying a small thunder imitating the Song Dynasty thunder cannon, which exploded and made a roar.
The sound echoed back and forth in the corridor, making the Xixia soldiers inside dizzy.
The soldiers fell like straw.
But people kept pouring in later.
The corridor becomes a slaughterhouse.
Fortunately, the Qitian Army in the air slowly fell down. After seeing the situation outside the corridor, they threw thunder into the White Horse Army formation.
The white horse bow and crossbow army formation soon disintegrated.
The Xixia army suffered nearly 2,000 losses and was able to enter the city.
But when he arrived in the city, he encountered the tenacious resistance of the White Horse Army.
The White Horse Army was well-arranged in the city, and caught all the soldiers with high morale in Xixia off guard.
This fierce battle lasted for several hours.
Li Wangyuan led a large army into Chongqing Prefecture, and the war stopped a little. The Western Xia army actually occupied only two streets.
The White Horse Army soldiers were unexpectedly tenacious, and when the Qitian Army in the air was difficult to achieve success, they caused the Xixia army to pay a huge price.
These two streets are really made of flesh and blood.
The streets were full of corpses and blood flowed into a river.
In the next few days, the war in Chongqing did not stop much. Without a big fight between the two sides, small groups of soldiers tried each other constantly.
Chapter completed!
