Chapter 255 - Continuation of Total Destruction

At this moment, more than fifty miles away in the northwest direction, more than seven thousand Western Xia soldiers were hurrying on their way.

These seven thousand soldiers of the Western Xia Army were the same group of people who had escaped through the gap! They were abnormally anxious and terrified as they desperately rushed. But even so, after a day had passed, they had only walked about fifty miles.

They were simply too exhausted. Beside Li Chage, a soldier was running with all his might, but suddenly the soldier fell to the ground with blood spewing out of his mouth. His eyes, ears, and nose were all bleeding. He just lay there on the ground, lifeless!

"This …" Li Chage was startled, he immediately got down from the horse and held onto the soldier's hand, after a while, he revealed a sad expression, he knew that the soldier was dead. Because he was too tired, the soldier was "tired" to death!

Along the way, he had seen this kind of thing several times. More than a hundred people had died from exhaustion. They either fell to the ground and couldn't move while running, or they were too tired to lie on the ground. After a while, their hearts stopped beating.

"General Li, our losses are exceptionally heavy this time." Li Renli followed behind Li Chage, and spoke with tears in his eyes.

"That's right!" The losses were unusually severe! The remaining three hundred thousand soldiers had probably been completely wiped out by the Han people! Adding the losses in the Hongzhou, the Gui Province, and various places in the Yan Province, our Western Xia already has nearly four hundred thousand soldiers killed by the Han Chinese! " Li Chage clenched his teeth and said.

"400,000 people!" Our total military strength in the Western Xia is not even five hundred thousand. " Li Renli gritted his teeth.

"That's right, this time our western Xia army is completely dead. We of the Western Xia already have no army. We already have no way to stop the Chinese. I'm afraid our Xixia is really going to fall this time. " Li Chage's face revealed a sorrowful expression, and said.

"The fallen nation? How is this possible? Didn't we say before that we would attack the Guan Shan from three sides and obtain its land? How could a country fall? " Li Renli said in a daze.

"I don't want to either! However, we are truly facing the downfall of a country. " Li Chage said in pain.

"Brother Cha, it's all your fault!" As the commander, you actually caused the complete annihilation of three hundred thousand troops, you deserve to die ten thousand times! " Li Renli suddenly shouted.

He looked at Li Chage with anger, and wished that he could tear Li Chage into shreds on the spot.

"You two, now is not the time to argue." Wan Yanzonggan said.

It was just that even though Wan Yanzonggan had opened his mouth, at that moment in time, Li Renli had completely ignored him! The country was about to be destroyed, how could he have the mind to bother with an outsider? He only looked at Li Chage angrily and abnormally hated him.

"Tell me, what should I do? If more than a hundred thousand Chinese army invades all over Hongzhou, Yanzhou, and Au Prefecture, can I not rescue them? At that time, the defeated soldiers and generals were talking about the hundreds of thousands of soldiers. They said that the Han people had taken down all of the Hongzhou and the other states within two hours. Under such circumstances, how could I bring the 300,000 soldiers to the east? If it was you, what would you do? Aren't you going to rescue the East? Do you see all the cities in the east fall? Furthermore, this is an order by His Majesty! " Li Chage said.

"This …" Li Renli stared blankly ahead.

"What can I do when the Chinese suddenly attack the Xingqing Mansion? Could I not go to the rescue? Didn't you say that if I don't save the Xingqing Mansion, you would take over from me as a general? Furthermore, you also asked me to give up all of my food supplies and travel lightly. I have to rush to Xingqing Mansion in the shortest time possible, is that true? " Li Chage said.

"This …" Li Renli was stunned once again.

"If it was you, being surrounded by the three great armies, and the troops were exhausted to the extreme, would you be able to defeat the Song Army?" Li Chage said.

Li Renli was speechless.

"The Chinese stratagem is really beyond imagination. In the face of such a scheme, no one could resist. When General Cha Ge led three hundred thousand troops to the Yanzhou City, we had already lost. But we can't not save the Yanzhou City, and we can't just sit by and watch all the cities in the east get captured by the Song people. Both of you, don't complain to each other. "You should think about how to protect Western Xia." Wan Yanzonggan said.

Wan Yanzonggan was also abnormally terrified at this moment.

He never thought that the Song Army's schemes would actually be this powerful. Such a scheme was almost impossible to break. He did not know who in the Song Army had formulated such a strategy, it was simply inconceivable how powerful it was. Moreover, the Song Army's battle power was also far stronger than what he had expected. Previously, when they were in contact with the Song Army on the way, he felt that the Song Army was almost as powerful as them. He still remembered when Jin Army went south to the Central Plains. Song Army was so weak, but it had only been five years since she had broken through to this state. Facing such a Song Army, he even suspected that the Nvzhen wasn't her match.

"That won't happen!" Absolutely not! Our Nvzhen is unrivalled in the world! The Chinese will eventually be conquered by us. " Wan Yanzonggan secretly encouraged himself.

At this moment, he no longer dared to look down on Han Chinese. Before, he had regarded the Chinese as inferior, but now he no longer thought so.

"We need to rush back to the Xingqing Mansion immediately so that Your Majesty can prepare. No, Xingqing Mansion isn't a match for the hundreds of thousands of Song Army, I want His Majesty to immediately move to Liang Zhou's side. Only after we get there will His Majesty be safe. " Li Chage said.

"That's right, that's exactly how it should be! "Also, although we only have seven thousand people left, these seven thousand are true elites. We need to bring them all back." Li Renli said.

Li Chage nodded.

"May God bless the Western Xia." Li Chage secretly thought.

The snow was still falling non-stop. After walking another three to four miles, Li Chage suddenly felt that something was amiss.

The surroundings were too quiet, not a single sound could be heard. Logically speaking, although the Gobi Desert was desolate, there were still some animals present, especially some wild wolves and foxes. Thus, one could more or less hear their voices wherever they went. But at that moment, there was no sound, only the sound of their western Xia army hurrying on their way.

"Brother Cha, I feel something's wrong." Li Renli suddenly said.

Li Renli's words made Li Chage's heart jump fiercely.

"Could there be an ambush?" Wan Yanzonggan also felt that his surroundings were a little strange and asked immediately.

Just as his voice was about to leave his mouth, the sound of battle came from all directions!

There were a total of twenty thousand cavalrymen blocking the entrance, no one knew how long they had been waiting for!

Originally, Liu Qi had offered his stratagem last night. After that, Liu Qi had personally led twenty thousand cavalrymen northwest in order to block the escaping Western Xia Army. He had already waited here for several hours. They had been resting and on guard the entire time. Now they had finally found the enemy.

In the Song Army, almost all the cavalrymen were the elites of the elites! Due to the lack of war horses, the number of cavalry was very few. Those who could enter the cavalry army were the most outstanding soldiers!

On one side was the Song Army's elites who were just waiting idly, while on the other side was the Western Summer Army that had been 'exhausted' for eight days and eight nights without a break.

Twenty thousand Song Army cavalry soldiers divided the seven thousand Western Xia soldiers into three groups and started a massacre.

In less than an hour, these seven thousand Western Xia soldiers had been completely wiped out. At most, only a few dozen were able to escape.

After exterminating these seven thousand Western Summer Army soldiers, Liu Qi did not stay any longer and immediately led the twenty thousand cavalrymen in the direction of the Xingqing Mansion.

Early morning of the second day, a hundred thousand Jingyuan Army s and thirty thousand Tsinghua Army s also headed towards the Xingqing Mansion s.

A hundred thousand Shanbei Forbidden Army s and ten thousand Royal soldiers s stopped here. They did not rest for a few days and nights, and the bodies of the soldiers were exhausted to the extreme. Even if their physical fitness surpassed the Western Xia soldiers, they still needed to rest at this time. At the very least, they could not travel day and night like this. In the past, they had hurried on their way to achieve their military goals. In order to force the enemy to grow tired, at least they were no longer in such a rush.

The soldiers seldom had a good night's sleep.

In the afternoon, they began to clear the battlefield.

They first searched for the corpses of their comrades, and then they buried the corpses of their comrades on the desert.

Then the bodies of the three hundred thousand Western Xia soldiers.

They dug countless large holes in the desert, and threw all the corpses of the Western Xia soldiers into those pits, and then used the soil to bury those large holes.

Occasionally, they would see Western Xia soldiers that weren't dead yet. They would also indifferently throw these Western Xia soldiers into the pit and bury them. The Western Xia soldiers who weren't completely dead would be dead as well.

Yu Yunwen saw that a Western Xia soldier's face was covered in blood. That Western Xia soldier's finger was still moving slightly, but the soldiers of the Shanbei Forbidden Army still threw him into the pit, ready to bury him. The Western Xia soldier struggled to open his eyes. His eyes were filled with begging, but the Shanbei Forbidden Army soldier at his side did not care.

Yu Yunwen wanted to stop the soldiers of the Shanbei Forbidden Army, he was about to walk over when a voice suddenly came from the side: "Do you feel that it's cruel?"

Yu Yunwen was startled, he turned and noticed Zhao Chen's arrival and immediately bowed: "Greetings your majesty!"

The one who appeared behind him was Zhao Chen, he nodded and said: "War is so cruel! Either we kill the enemy, or the enemy kills us! This time we fought our way into the Western Xia territory. We won the war, so this time we killed the enemy! But have you ever thought about what would happen if outsiders were to enter our Song Dynasty's territory, what kind of treatment would the citizens of our Song Dynasty receive? How many soldiers and how many civilians are we going to die? "

Yu Yunwen sighed softly and said: "This humble subject understands! If other races were to enter our Song Dynasty territory, the people of our Song Dynasty would also suffer. In the past, the Liao Country was in the north, and every year, we would come to beat the grass valleys. Every time we did that, hundreds of us Chinese would die or thousands would die. In the past hundred years, this sort of foraging happened every year, sometimes once or twice a year, sometimes even dozens of times a year. When the Nvzhen invaded the Central Plains, the citizens of the Central Plains suffered heavy casualties. The one hundred thousand seed army s back then have all been annihilated, and many cities have been annihilated by the Nvzhen. "

Zhao Chen replied, "Yes! Actually, it wasn't just these! The Huns and Turks had also killed countless Chinese! If … I mean, if I don't become the emperor and make that trash, Zhao Gou, the master of our Song Dynasty, become the ruler of our country, then the Han people would be destroyed and the whole country's population would die under the hands of outsiders. "

Yu Yunwen was startled, and said: "That's impossible right? Our Song Dynasty has a population of one hundred thousand, outsiders cannot kill more than half of them. "

A trace of a cold smile appeared on Zhao Chen's face! If history hadn't changed, during the invasion of Mongolia, Han Chinese would have died at the hands of more than 50 million people. At that time, the population of the Chinese people was less than 80 million. After the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the Han became a fourth class of people. The Mongols could bully the Han people, and any foreigner who entered the Central Plains, including Haberu, Chincha, Tang Gu, Ah Chin, Ba Ba Ba, Kang Li, Ku Li Lu, Ci Shou, Qi Qian, Wai Wai, Hui, Nai Man, and Ah Er Hun, were all above the Han people and could bully the Han people. At that time, the Han people really became the most lowly people in the world, any foreigner could step on the Han people's head, kill a Han people just by paying the fine equivalent to a donkey, ordinary Han people were not allowed to have their own name, all of them were named after their birth date, when Zhu Yuanhang was born, his name was Zhu Chongba, the Han people's taxes were extremely heavy, more than half of them, as long as it was a drought, the Han people would starve to death countless times. After much difficulty, Zhu Yuanzhang led his allied army and defeated the Mongols to establish the Ming Dynasty. However, in the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Nvzhen rose up once again and established the Qing Dynasty. In the process of the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the dead Chinese were also in the tens of millions, and after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, they carried out a "hair-cutting order", claiming that "no hair was left on the head, no hair was left on the head". All the Chinese resisted, and the Qing army massacred the Chinese people everywhere, especially the Chinese people in Jiading, who rebelled against the hair-cutting order. In the modern era, the Japanese could invade the mainland. The death toll of the Chinese people exceeded 30 million, but there were still 300 thousand ghosts in Nanjing.

At this moment, Zhao Chen naturally could not tell everything about the history of the future generations, he only sneered, and Yu Yunwen, who was at his side, could not ask anymore! However, the feeling of "mercy from the heavens" in Yu Yunwen's heart was reduced by quite a bit. Once he thought about how these western Xia army s would break into the Song Dynasty's territory, the number of casualties in the Song Dynasty would definitely be great, and he no longer felt burdened in his heart.

"I am not a wanton killer!" But on the battlefield, there was no room for kindness! If these three hundred thousand soldiers of the Western Xia Army don't die, how will we deal with them? Send troops to watch them? But we still need to gather all our forces to attack the Xingqing Mansion! When we attack the Xingqing Mansion, will they take the chance to resist? Will they drag us down? That was inevitable! We only have two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers and horses to enter the Western Xia, and we cannot lose all of them here. We still need to attack the Valkyrie and the Emperor Kang, and we cannot exhaust too much of our strength when we destroy the Western Xia! Therefore, the best way was to eliminate them when they were at their weakest, eliminating all hidden dangers! Yu Yunwen, do you think that is reasonable? " Zhao Chen said.

"This humble subject understands!" Yu Yunwen nodded and said.

"Very good! Let the army stay here for three days, and after three days, we will head to Xingqing Mansion! " Zhao Chen said.
