Chapter 851 White Horse Siege (2)

Li Wangyuan still hesitated, "But we have offended Zhao before."

He sighed and said, "I am more familiar with that person 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. This is Zhao, who 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 Qitian Army was slightly puzzled, "Emperor, then..."

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!"

The scout left again and followed with a few messengers.

Qin Han gently rubbed his thumb and whispered to himself, "Dispersing forces to hinder our army's siege. Li Wangyuan, are you waiting for the army of the Song Dynasty?"

He was still as confident as usual.

Although the ground troops he brought during this trip were actually only more than 30,000 soldiers in Tongchuan Prefecture, and the number should not be as high as the Xixia army soldiers in the city, he was very sure of taking down Chongqing Prefecture.

Because the Western Xia army is in power, the combat effectiveness that can be formed will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Just imagine, if 50,000 people are fighting against 50,000 people, it will take a long time to decide the outcome. But if one of them is only 5,000 people, and 5,000 people take turns to fight?

Maybe they can't escape the fate of being swallowed one by one.

At this time, the Xixia army that emerged from all over the city was experiencing such devouring.

In order to prevent the hot air balloons in the sky, they could not gather too many soldiers.

In the morale of the army, the White Horse Army must win several points.

The bombing sounds are endless.

The battle reports were passed to Li Wangyuan, Zhongsun Qifu and others in their residences.

The White Horse Army was unstoppable, and the Western Xia Army retreated step by step. A small group of troops that rushed out of their hiding place were slaughtered one after another.

This made Li Wangyuan and others look ugly.

It's late at night.

The Xixia Army may not have damaged the soldiers, but the huge Chongqing Prefecture was actually captured by the White Horse Army.

The White Horse Army obviously carries a lot of thunder and the bombing of hot air balloons in the sky has almost never stopped.

Things like Booming Sky Thunder are very cheap and are too easy to build.

A general from Xixia persuaded Li Wangyuan to withdraw from Chongqing Prefecture.

But this suggestion was eventually rejected by everyone.

Now the two sides are already in a war. If the Xixia army leaves the city, can they escape the soldiers in the city and still need to be killed by hot air balloons in the sky?

Moreover, retreating will inevitably lead to a sharp decline in morale, which is more important. Even if the army with low morale is large, it may not be able to escape the collapse.

Li Wangyuan and others could only bite the bullet and continue to send orders to the generals to lead their soldiers to block the White Horse Army.

They are now in a difficult situation.

Perhaps, it was beyond their imagination that the Western Xia army could conquer cities and land at such a speed.
