Chapter 244 - Attacking the Hongzhou
The night was getting darker, and the gentry s in Hongzhou Palace were gradually dispersing!
At this moment, only Ren Dejing and Li Siyi were left. Ren Dejing said: General Li, you will be staying in the magistrate court today! I have a room prepared for you! "
He had not only prepared a room, he had also prepared several beautiful concubines. Of course, he did not need to show them off on the surface!
"I want to go to the city wall to have a look!" Li Siyi said.
"AHH!" It's so late! " Ren Dejing was shocked.
"I've just arrived at Hongzhou today, so I wanted to take a look at the situation of the defenses in Hongzhou! "Besides, it was too boring staying here just now. Now I want to go out and relax!" Li Siyi said.
"In that case, this one will accompany the general to the city wall to take a look!" Ren Dejing said helplessly.
"Alright!" Li Siyi nodded.
After that, Ren Dejing and Li Siyi brought along dozens of guards and headed out of the residence. It was already quiet inside the city, and most of the people were already fast asleep! Snow was still falling from the sky. After walking for a short while, both of them had a head full of "white hair"!
When they arrived at the top of the city walls, Ren Dejing couldn't help but shrink back as the cold wind blew. He took off his robe all of a sudden, as if he was enjoying the cold wind!
When the two of them arrived at the top of the city wall, many of the Western Xia soldiers had no choice but to come to the top of the city wall as well! These Western Xia soldiers were originally guarding the city wall, but they were afraid of the cold, so they hid in their houses late at night! Now that the main general had come, they had no choice but to come out!
"General Li, a report came up from the front that the Song Army had appeared in the area of the Helan Plains!" Ren Dejing said.
"The army of the Song people? He Lan Yuan? How is that possible? " Li Siyi shook his head!
"Sir!" "We still have to be careful!" Ren Dejing said.
"Now that the little emperor of Guan Shan is facing two threats, he can't care less! Do you think he should send her army north at this time? " Li Siyi sneered.
"This... I don't think so! " Ren Dejing said.
Although Ren Dejing was a well-known adulterer in history, his intelligence was not small! Thinking this way, he also felt that it was impossible, so he immediately put his heart at ease!
"This is truly amazing!" Li Siyi looked into the distance. In the distance was a vast snowy plain, and its surroundings were completely empty.
"That's right!" It was like painting a river or a mountain! The Song people had their own lyrics, 'the mountains and rivers are like a painting', just how many heroes were able to do it in a short period of time! In this world, I wonder who is the true hero! " Ren Dejing said.
"The real Wanyan Zonghan, can be considered a hero! He had followed the female True Ancestor Wan Yanaguda for ten years of battle, to eliminate the Great! Afterwards, he led a huge army of a hundred thousand to the south, occupied the Central Plains, and captured two Emperor of Han Dynasty s. If such a person wasn't a hero, then there wouldn't be any such person in the world! Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Loushi and the rest were all the heroes of Nvzhen! As for the Chinese, I don't see a single hero among them right now! The Chinese were, after all, the most cowardly race in the world! They have billions of people, they have countless gold and silver, they have such powerful weapons like brachial arch, but they can't even take a single blow! The Chinese are like a big fat piece of meat. The Qi Dan people can take a bite out of them, the Nvzhen can take a bite out of them, and our Party member can also take a bite out of them! " Li Siyi laughed.
"The general is right!" Ren Dejing nodded.
"Humph!" Unfortunately, my Western Xia isn't the same as before! In those years, when our Western Xia had just risen up, what kind of martial prowess was this? It was peerless in the world! After that, the successive generations of emperors followed the Han's system and carried out the Chinese Confucian culture. Xixia was also a generation lower than the previous generation! But no matter what, he was much stronger than the Chinese! This general has a grand aspiration in his heart! " Li Siyi suddenly said.
"May I know what it is?" Ren Dejing said.
"I want to lead the western Xia army to occupy the entire Guan Shan, to occupy the Middle Han Area, the Chuan Shu, and to establish an unrivalled achievement! We Western Xia can even take over the entire world! In the future, this world will belong to our Party member! The Qidan people only had a population of a few hundred thousand, but they could occupy the northern part of the country for over a hundred years, making it the most powerful country in the world! The Nvzhen only had a few hundred thousand people, but they had occupied the Central Plains and forced the Han people to retreat to Jiangnan! The population of Party member is not inferior to Qi Dan, why can't we bully the Chinese, why can't we occupy the whole world? " Li Siyi said.
"The general is right!" "If everyone in our party is of one mind, it is not impossible for us to take over this world!" Ren Dejing said.
"I truly look forward to that day! I hope that His Majesty can get us to send our troops over as soon as possible! " Perhaps, Li Siyi had drank wine today, and said excitedly in his heart!
They stayed there for a long time before finally leaving the city walls!
At this very moment, around five kilometers south of Hongzhou City, a hundred thousand Shanbei Forbidden Army s had already arrived!
It was already time, Li Xianzhong had already gathered all the army commanders!
"A thousand warriors from each army, ten thousand in total, will be sent to the death army! I will personally lead an army to attack from the south. When it is necessary, General Yan Xian will lead a deadly army to attack from the north! In one night, I want to attack Hongzhou and offer Hongzhou City to His Majesty! " Li Xianzhong said.
During the day, there were already countless of spies investigating the situation of the Hongzhou City, and at this moment, Li Xianzhong had already formulated a concrete battle plan according to the situation of the Hongzhou City! The military also had a general staff, and these were all the most effective combat plans that the general staff had formulated in the shortest amount of time, and Li Xianzhong had already approved of them! Now, he would pass on his plan of attack!
"When in battle, everyone moves forward, no one is allowed to retreat! This is a national war, it is related to the fate of our Song Dynasty! Whoever is left behind, is the sinner of the nation. I, Li Xianzhong, will never let those who are left behind go! Every hundred years, there would be one death. If you die for a country, you will die for your cause. If you are afraid of death, you will be the sinner of a nation. You will be despised for generations! Do you understand this logic? " Li Xianzhong shouted.
"This lowly general naturally understands!" All the generals stood up and said in unison.
"Very good! Prepare to attack the city! " Li Xianzhong immediately replied.
The one hundred thousand Shanbei Forbidden Army s began to slowly move!
In the snowy weather, under the illumination of the snowy light, one could see countless human figures heading in the direction of Hongzhou City! On the snowy plains, this was an incomparably terrifying scene!
Although the battle prowess of the Western Xia was average, it was still much stronger than the Song Army of the last year of the Northern Song Dynasty. Immediately, someone noticed this incomparably shocking scene!
A Western Xia soldier frantically shouted, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Get up! Hurry and get up! "
The other Western Xia soldiers had already found their battle drums and began to madly beat them!
"What happened?"
"Enemy attack!" It's an enemy attack! "
"What kind of enemies are coming at this time?"
The thirty thousand Western Xia soldiers in Hongzhou City climbed up one by one. They were in disbelief, and did not know who would dare to attack them at this time.
"What happened?" Li Siyi was already asleep, but was awoken by the sound of the battle drum. He donned his clothes, picked up his treasured sword and went outside!
"General, this is bad!" "Enemy attack!" A soldier shouted.
"What?" Enemy attack? Where's the enemy? " Li Siyi anxiously said.
"I don't know!" The soldier said.
Li Siyi was shocked, he anxiously brought a group of guards and headed towards the city walls!
By the time he reached the city walls, the Shanbei Forbidden Army had already begun his assault!
The soldiers of the First Army had already set up their ladders and were climbing upwards! Then the Second Army and the Third Army arrived!
"It's the Song people!" Oh my god! So many Song people! How was this possible? Quick, immediately block! " Li Siyi was shocked, and said.
"They are Chinese, there is no need to be afraid! Their combat power was extremely weak! When the Western Army was here, he could still contend against us! But right now, the Western Army has already ceased to exist, so there is no need to be afraid of them! " A Western Xia general beside him said loudly.
"That's right!" Don't be afraid of them! They are just Chinese! " More and more Western Xia generals began shouting!
More than a hundred thousand people from Shanbei Forbidden Army frantically climbed up the city walls! Their comrade-in-arms fell to the ground, while they stepped on the corpses of their comrade-in-arms! All the soldiers moved forward bravely, not a single one of them falling behind! Many of them were still climbing up with all their might, even though they were full of wounds!
After a while, the Western Xia soldiers on top of the city walls finally brought the huge boulders, lumber barrage and similar weapons over. Li Siyi heaved a sigh of relief.
This Hongzhou City was an important town at the southern border of the Western Xia City. The city walls were extremely high and thick, there were a lot of resources to defend the city! The military camp was extremely close to the city walls, and in a short period of time, almost all of the Western Xia soldiers had arrived at the top of the city walls! If nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to defend this city!
Song Army had already climbed up the city walls, the Western Xia soldiers immediately resisted, they wanted to either kill these Song Army or push them down the city walls!
It was just that the Song Army's fighting strength was beyond their imagination. In their minds, the fighting strength of the Song Army was not even comparable to theirs! But today, a Song Army who had climbed onto the city walls was able to fight against three or more Western Xia soldiers! Furthermore, even though the Song Army were on the verge of death, with their intestines bleeding, they were still doing their best to resist.
Li Siyi's heart became more and more shocked, he couldn't believe it!
"Is this really a Song person? When the woman really invaded Western Xia, the Nvzhen was only this brave! Are they the Chinese people who were disguised as Nvzhen? But the difference between their dressing and Nvzhen's is just too big! " Li Siyi secretly thought.
Li Xianzhong was currently standing on a high ground in the distance. He was trying to determine the form of the battlefield, but his face also revealed a shocked expression: "Why are Western Xia people so weak? They are far, far inferior to our Song Dynasty's army! I had prepared ten thousand death soldiers to make a breakthrough from the north, but now, it seems that even if no one dares to attack me from the front, I can still take down Hongzhou City! Of course, if that's the case, the casualties would be too great! "
