Chapter 260 - Persuasion
The Yinchuan Plains were covered by dark clouds and it was raining heavily. At that moment, Zhao Chen, Yu Yunwen and the rest were standing in front of the Yellow River.
This was the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and the river was relatively clear.
However, due to the heavy rain, the Yellow River was turbulent.
Zhao Chen stood there, watching the Yellow River churn. His expression kept changing, no one knew what he was thinking about.
"Your Majesty, the General Yue sent a letter saying that the allied army of Hedong could only last until June at most. After June, they will no longer be able to hold back the Genuine Army. " Yu Yunwen said.
"I understand!" Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, we need to return to the Guan Shan as soon as possible." Yu Yunwen said.
There are many villages and towns here. In this short period of time, we are unable to destroy all of the villages and towns here, or rush all of the Party member to the Guan Shan. Zhao Chen said.
"We can probably take away half of the population here and destroy all the big cities. However, there are some villages that we cannot destroy." Yu Yunwen said.
"This way, we still haven't done our best." Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, we have done very well! Within ten years, Western Xia will no longer have the strength to head south. We have enough time to eliminate the female true master and the Emperor Kang. " Yu Yunwen said.
"This battle still has some flaws!" I want to try again! Immediately send down the order, have Curved End, Liu Qi, Zhao Zhe and the rest lead the army back, and attack Xingqing Mansion. I want to try one last time. " Zhao Chen said.
Yu Yunwen nodded his head, and immediately sent people to carry out his orders, not mentioning anything else.
On the night of April 30th, all the armies once again gathered under the Xingqing Mansion.
When they were young, without any warning, they suddenly attacked the Xingqing Mansion fiercely.
Countless soldiers raised their ladders and rushed towards the city walls. The ladders were set up as they madly rushed up.
The five generals, Curved End, Li Xianzhong, Liu Qi, Zhao Zhe and the others, personally led the charge. Including the Managed, all the soldiers were involved in the battle.
On the walls of the Xingqing Mansion, nearly a hundred thousand Party member were sleeping. These days, the Party member was on high alert. They never left the city walls, day or night. Even though it was raining heavily right now, they were hiding in the corner and not a single one of them left. Moreover, there were countless Party member at the bottom of the city wall, on standby.
Even the Western Xia's emperor and ministers were standing in front of the city walls, ready to step onto them at any time.
The moment the Song Army attacked, the Party member on the city walls suddenly woke up, they immediately crawled up, and prepared to defend. Beneath the city walls, even more Party member crawled out of their dreams and prepared to climb up to the top of the city walls.
The battle was going on intensely!
The Song Army was exceptionally brave and fierce, the quality of the army far surpassed the Party member on the city walls. However, the Party member had the advantage of a city, coupled with the fact that their country was at the brink of destruction, everyone was doing their best to block the Song Army's attack.
A night's time had passed, but this time's siege was still ineffective. Although Party member had suffered heavy casualties, there were also a lot of deaths and injuries.
The sky gradually brightened as heavy rain continued to pour.
Just then, the sound of horns came from outside the Xingqing Mansion.
Countless Yellow Dragon Banners fluttered in the wind, and under the crowd of hundreds of Royal soldiers, Zhao Chen, mounted on his Dragon Robe and Ye Yumiao, appeared on the battlefield.
This voice belonged to someone long live Zhao Chen first. Then, a voice of "long live" sounded out from all the Song Army in the place he had appeared in.
"Long live!" The sound resounded through the lands, shaking the world!
For a moment, it was as if countless thunder rumbled in the surroundings of Xingqing Mansion.
Wherever Zhao Chen went, the Song Army would become even more frenzied and everyone would risk their lives and pounce towards the Western Xia people who were in front of them.
The Western Xia people up there were all shocked!
No one would have thought that the emperor of the Song Dynasty would actually personally come to the battlefield!
In the past, whether it was attacking the Hongzhou, the Ascendants, the Yanzhou, or even annihilating the main force of the Western Xia, or even the siege earlier, Zhao Chen did not personally appear. The people of the Western Xia had not known until now that the emperor of the Song Dynasty was in the army, or the emperor of the Song Dynasty himself was in the Western Xia! This time, it was the Song Dynasty's Emperor himself who wanted to destroy the Western Xia.
At that moment, Zhao Chen's sudden appearance had a huge impact on their minds.
Xia Chongzong stood on top of the city wall, his face ashen. Beside him, Li Chage, Wei Minganhui, Wan Yanzonggan and the rest all had a drastic change in expression.
"The Emperor of the Han is actually in the Western Xia! This time, it was actually the Emperor of Han Dynasty who was personally leading the charge! How is that possible? " Li Chage said in a daze.
"Is that the emperor of the Chinese people? I heard that he ascended the throne when he was ten years old, and killed the mighty official Zhe Keqiu a year later. After that, he defeated Wan Yanhuonv, and seized Guan Shan. He's only fifteen years old now, and now he's come to my Western Xia. " Wei Minganhui said in a somewhat absent-minded manner.
"The Emperor of the Han actually came to the Western Xia himself! Heavens, it seemed like the Han people were abnormally determined this time! They must destroy the Western Xia! What should he do? "What should we do?" Xia Chongzong was at a loss as to what to do.
"Your Majesty, the morale of our troops has greatly increased, and that of our troops has been greatly reduced. If we do not, Xingqing Mansion might really be beaten down by the enemies. " Wei Minganhui said loudly.
"It's not bad, but what should we do now?" Xia Chongzong said anxiously.
"Your Majesty, have the women below come to the city walls immediately. A few days ago, they had been participating in the war. It was admirable, and it was extremely beneficial for their morale. Also, Your Majesty, at such a time, the Western Xia Empire is about to fall. Your Majesty and I should fight bravely, and we should also go to the battlefield to personally participate in the war to boost morale. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was able to travel thousands of miles to come to the Western Xia, and was able to lead the army in person. His Majesty should have the courage to do so. " Wei Minganhui said.
"That's right!" Xia Chongzong clenched his teeth and said.
Very quickly, countless women rushed up to the city walls, and once again, participated in defending the city, led by Ren Yuqin. After that, Western Xia's emperor and his ministers all joined in the defense of the city and entered the battle one after another.
Originally, because of Zhao Chen's sudden appearance, the Song Army's morale had been greatly boosted, causing them to be greatly intimidated, and it was very possible for them to defeat the Xingqing Mansion in one go. However, that Wei Minganhui was truly worthy of being the wise man of the Western Xia.
From morning until late at night, another day had passed. Song Army finally retired.
Party member on the city wall was still extremely nervous, they did not dare to leave the city wall and continued to stay there.
As for the Song Army Soldiers, they had already begun resting in their tents.
At this moment, he had no choice but to retreat.
However, he had one more thing to do before he withdrew.
"Go and call Li Qianming over!" said after he passed on the matter of the retreat.
Someone immediately called Li Qianming over, and Curved End asked curiously: "Your Majesty, why are you looking for him?"
Zhao Chen laughed coldly, and said: "Naturally, I'm letting him go and persuade me!"
Curved End was surprised for a moment, and said: "Persuade him to surrender? The Western Xia people will surrender? "
Zhao Chen said: "At this point, how could they not surrender?"
After a while, Li Qianming finally appeared within the army camp. After five months, Li Qianming had undergone a huge change. The fierceness on his face had disappeared, and he was now skinny. The Western Xia Duke's clothes that he was wearing had already disappeared, and he was currently dressed in ordinary Song Army clothes. His body was full of wounds. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot during this period of time.
Seeing Zhao Chen at this moment, his face no longer had that kind of haughty and arrogant expression. There was only fear in his heart, and he had already kneeled down at the first moment as he said the two words "Long live".
"In the past few days, you have also seen how my Song Dynasty's troops fight?" Zhao Chen looked at him, and said coldly.
"Yes!" This little one has already seen it! " Li Qianming anxiously said.
"All the cities in your land can't withstand a single blow from my Song Dynasty's troops! Your three hundred thousand main force of Western Xia has been completely wiped out! Do you think that the Xingqing Mansion in front of us can stop our troops? " Zhao Chen said.
"I can't block it." Li Qianming hesitated for a moment and said.
"That's right!" There is no city in the world that can stop the troops of my Song Dynasty! Although this Xingqing Mansion is strong, if I want to take him down, I can definitely take him down! It's just that there are women in the east and Emperor Kang in the south, we don't want to lose too much here! Besides, I'm not willing to kill them all. "Therefore, we will give you a chance in the Western Xia." Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, what kind of opportunity is this?" Li Qianming said nervously in his heart.
"We will send you back, go convince Li Qianshun to surrender to me. That way, I can let go of Xicha. Otherwise, I will not hesitate to take down the Xingqing Mansion at all costs, and then your Western Xia will be dead. " Zhao Chen said.
"I understand!" Li Qianming said.
At this moment, he didn't have the ability to refuse.
"Tell him that as long as he agrees to these conditions, I will withdraw." Zhao Chen said.
"Please speak, Your Majesty." Li Qianming said.
Zhao Chen began to slowly explain.
