Outside the Xia army camp in Hejian Mansion, in Li Liangzuo's Chinese army tent, a group of Xia army generals stared at Wang Shao and the two people of the seed master, for Wang Shao to come here Li Liangzuo was a little surprised, in Li Liangzuo's opinion, Wang Shao and the seed master Dao must have nothing good to come to him this time, the Song army followed Li Liangzuo all the way, which made Li Liangzuo very disgusted with the Song army, in order to prevent the Song army from sneaking up on him from behind, Li Liangzuo always let the troops behind the palace stay vigilant.
"The foreign minister came here this time to discuss with His Majesty Emperor Xia."
Wang Shao said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo said very politely: "Marshal Wang has nothing to say. ” "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wang Shao saluted Li Liangzuo and said; "Your Majesty, the foreign minister is very grateful to know that the Xia army is besieging Hejian Mansion, but this Hejian Mansion is my Great Song City, this is only for the Xia army to contribute, I'm afraid it's not good, the foreign minister means to see if my Song army and the Xia army can fight together."
Before Li Liangzuo could speak, Li Yanze sarcastically said to Wang Shao: "Joint operation, Marshal Wang really thinks well, I'm afraid that when the Song army can't beat the Eastern Liao army, Yelu Nerugu will break through and run away, and let us wipe your ass when the time comes."
As soon as Li Yanze's voice fell, it caused the rest of the generals in the entire big tent to laugh, in fact, not only these Xia army generals, even Li Liangzuo did not look at the Song army at this time, after all, the Song army was wiped out twice by the remnants of Yelu Nerugu's army, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were lost before and after, and its combat power can be imagined, but they did not think about why the Song army failed, in fact, the two annihilations of the Song army do not mean that the Song army's combat effectiveness is poor, and its main responsibility lies in the ability and strategy of the generals of the unified army; To an opponent like Yelu Nerugu, even Li Liangzuo has a headache, let alone others.
Facing the ridicule of the generals of the Xia army, Wang Shao said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, although my Great Song army was defeated by the Eastern Liao army twice, this does not mean anything, the reason why Yelu Nelugu was able to win was by conspiracy and trickery, if the two armies face off against each other, it is not certain who wins and who loses, I am afraid that there will be no more Eastern Liao army after this battle, so the foreign minister implores Your Majesty, give my Great Song soldiers a chance to wash away the humiliation, and the foreign minister wants to let the world see that my Song army men are all good."
Li Liangzuo didn't expect Wang Shao to be able to say such a paragraph, all the generals of the Xia Army present stopped laughing when they heard Wang Shao's words, and the sarcastic eyes that originally looked at Wang Shao and the seed master also changed, no matter what the combat effectiveness of the Song army was, at least Wang Shao's words moved all the people present, these people are battle-hardened generals, and generals have failed, and this kind of revenge psychology is actually in the hearts of every general.
Li Liangzuo walked up to Wang Shao from the dragon chair and said; "Marshal Wang, are you sure you want to do this?"
Wang Shao replied affirmatively to Li Liangzuo: "The foreign minister is very sure. ” Li Liangzuo patted Wang Shao's shoulder and said: "Since Marshal Wang wants to lead the Song army to take revenge, then I naturally want to fulfill the two, and my Xia army is only assisted in the battle of Hejian Mansion, and the heavy responsibility of attacking the city this time will be handed over to the two." ” "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wang Shao and Seed Master Dao saluted Li Liangzuo and said.
After sending Wang Shao away, Li Liangzuo and Ji La Siyi walked around the Xia army camp, and Ji La Siyi said to Li Langzuo: "Your Majesty handed over the main attack to the Song army, I'm afraid it's not just because of Wang Shao's words."
Li Liangzuo said with a smile: "I can't hide anything from the eyes of the old general, my army has been fighting continuously for more than half a year since the expedition, and the soldiers have long been physically and mentally exhausted, at this time in such a cruel siege battle, its losses must be very huge, in addition to the fact that Yelu Nerugu and the Eastern Liao army under his command are fighting for trapped beasts, everyone has the heart of death, my 150,000 army wants to break through such a fortified city, how many soldiers will shed their blood on the battlefield, and how many families and wives will be scattered in my Great Xia Kingdom."
Hearing Li Liangzuo's words, Ji Liang Siyi realized that Li Liangzuo was not an iron-blooded emperor as he thought, and it turned out that there was also a tender side in Li Liangzuo's heart, but Li Liangzuo hid this side of himself very deeply, and it was not easy for others to find it at all.
In the early morning of the next day, outside the city of Hejian Mansion, Wang Shao and the Song army commanded by the Song army began to want to launch a fierce attack on Hejian Mansion, not far away Li Liangzuo and his generals stood on the watchtower and looked at everything in front of them, so such a scene was formed on the battlefield of Hejian Mansion, the Song army and the Eastern Liao army were playing in front, and the Xia army was watching the excitement in the back, although most of the soldiers of the Song army were new troops, but the battle was very brave, and they were not afraid of death at all.
Seed Master Dao rode on a war horse and said to the soldiers under his command: "Brothers, in front is Hejian Fu City, the defenders in the city are our biggest enemy, the Eastern Liao Army, how many of our relatives have died under their butcher's knives, today we can finally slash the enemy, brothers in order to wash away the shame of the past, avenge our relatives, kill me" Under the leadership of the Song Army, the Song Army began to want to launch a charge in Hejian Mansion, rushing cars, cocoons, catapults and other engineering vehicles, in addition to the Song Army's most powerful bow and crossbow troops also appeared, compared to other military branches, the crossbow soldiers are the easiest to train a kind of infantry, the Song Army's bow and crossbow troops and the Xia Army's bow and crossbow troops are generally the same, but the difference is that the Song Army's bow and crossbow troops are equipped with weapons with a longer range, and the production process of these bows and crossbows is strictly kept secret by the Great Song Dynasty, This was an important weapon of the Great Song Dynasty against the northern cavalry.
In this era, siege warfare is basically a routine, one is a sneak attack routine, one is a strong attack routine, and now the Song army is attacking, first catapults, bows and crossbows to open the way, and then the foot soldiers carry ladders, push siege vehicles for siege operations, as the sharpest bow and crossbow troops of the Song army, and did not stop releasing arrows because of the attack of the siege troops, countless arrow feathers flew over the heads of the siege troops to the city.
Although the defense of the Eastern Liao Army is very tight, but it can't stand the Song Army's crowd tactics Ah The Song Army launched a three-day onslaught on Hejian Mansion, each time it was an all-out attack, under such a fully saturated blow, the Eastern Liao Army's defense line became precarious, and at this time Yelu Nerugu was still resisting stubbornly.
In the yamen of the inner city of Hejian Mansion, Yelu Nerugu paced back and forth, and after a while, Deputy General Wang walked in and said to Yelu Nerugu: "Your Majesty, our army's defense line is already in danger, and it is estimated that we will not be able to stand it if we continue like this until it gets dark, Your Majesty, let's break through."
"Break through, where can we break through, outside there are not only Song Jun and Xia Jun, but this time I'm afraid we really can't escape."
Jerunerugu said decadently; "Order the whole army to withdraw into the inner city, abandon the outer city, and even if the city is broken, the Song army must be pulled as a backing."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Vice Admiral Wang said; "Everything in the inner city has been prepared according to His Majesty's orders."
"Well, tell the brethren that if you hold on to this day, I will take them home tomorrow."
Yelu Nerugu said with a hint of fierceness flashing in his eyes
