The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1310
These boxes are full of black grenadiers and shells.

The soldiers of Daxia almost scrambled to carry these grenades on their shoulders. Someone grinned, "Haha, I can finally use this thing again!"

Obviously, they should have trained with grenades before.

Soon, the soldiers carrying the grenadiers all ran back to the battlements.A whole grenadier was also assembled in this city.

And under the city, there was an endless stream of soldiers carrying big wooden boxes up.

After the rows of boxes were opened, there were not soaring cannons, thunderbolts, etc. inside, but also Shenlong guns and bullets.

Wu Shangyun raised his head to look at the sky, and murmured, "If you are forced to rebel, you will have to rebel... I, Wu Shangyun, have no choice..."

"fire!"

Such loud roars sounded almost simultaneously from the top and bottom of the city.

The sound of cannons shook.

In an instant, shells fell on the city wall of Hengshandu.Gray smoke exploded, and the stone bricks cracked.

Only shells also landed in the front row of the Xixia Forbidden Army.

Some Xixia soldiers were annihilated in the artillery fire.Even some grenadiers were affected by shells.

He Liancheng's expression changed instantly, and he exclaimed, "They also have grenades!"

This was beyond his expectation.

The Great Xia bandit army actually possessed firearms such as grenade launchers, which he had never even thought about before.

Is it...

At this moment, He Liancheng couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that the Song Kingdom had both sides, and at the same time secretly provided Daxia with grenades and other things?
What good does this do for Song?

Could it be that taking advantage of the civil strife in Xixia, thinking that the Dafa war will not make money?
This is unlikely.

If Song Guo wants to take this opportunity to exploit Xixia and Daxia, he can sell these firearms to the two countries at sky-high prices.Come to think of it, both countries will grit their teeth and accept it.

Could it be that Song Guo still wants to see both Xixia and Daxia suffer?
This seems unreasonable.

If you want to see the two countries suffer from both sides, Song Guo can completely not provide any arms to the two countries.Because of this, the two countries will still lose both sides.

So why on earth...

He Liancheng seemed to be able to hear the sound of his heart beating violently.

At this moment, he was undoubtedly a little flustered.

The enemy army in Daxia also possesses firearms such as grenades, and can rely on the convenience of the city. If they want to take down Hengshandu, their chances of winning can only be said to be very small.

After less than 2 minutes, He Liancheng finally couldn't help shouting: "Withdraw! Withdraw!"

He was a little pissed off.

But there is no way to retreat.

Before he figured out where the big xia's arms came from, he really didn't have the confidence to fight the big xia army to the death.

Don't want to win, but others will pick the fruits of victory...

The golden sound of the Xixia Forbidden Army resounded immediately.

The lieutenant soldiers of the army looked at the city with extremely surprised eyes, and then slowly retreated to the back.

Somewhere in the back, Zhongsun Zhouting also heard the sound of the front line ringing gold.

This made him frown immediately, "Why did you withdraw the troops?"

Then, without thinking too much, he just said: "All the army, follow me to meet him!"

He knew that for Helian City to retreat suddenly, something unexpected must have happened.

And the movements of Zhongsun Zhouting's army couldn't be hidden from the eyes of the big summer scouts on the top of Hengshandu city.

Wu Shangyun soon learned that the Xixia Forbidden Army was coming, but he just smiled lightly.

He has no intention of letting the army go out of the city to take the initiative to attack.

Perhaps, he felt that this was also a thankless task.Both sides have grenades and other things, if he really wants to lead the army to fight outside the city, he may not be able to take advantage of it.

This campaign was the Xixia Imperial Army's initiative to attack. They only needed to defend Hengshandu so that the Xixia Imperial Army could not advance northward, and it was already a victory.

When the Xixia Imperial Army returns after being frustrated, the empress Li Xiushu's prestige among the people will inevitably be greatly reduced.

And their Great Xia Kingdom can completely divide and rule with the Empress.At that time, with the support of the firearms of the Yuan Dynasty, they may not be able to gradually eat away the land of the Empress.

At the top of the city, there were cheers.

The soldiers in the army were quite excited to see the Xixia Forbidden Army retreating like this.

A general said: "These imperial troops claim to be the elite of Xixia, so they are nothing more than that. How can they be stronger than me?"

"The general is right!"

"The Xixia Forbidden Army is just helping the cowardly idiots!"

"The Forbidden Army used to be called the elite, but I don't accept it! Haha, now it seems that it is really just a fake show! No, it doesn't even have a fucking watch!"

I don't know how many people agreed.

In the past, they were all officers and soldiers of the Baimaqiang Town Commander or other military commanders, and their status in Xixia was not as good as that of the Forbidden Army.In my heart, I was undoubtedly a little unhappy.

Only these voices, of course, couldn't reach Heliancheng's ears and leave.

He was retreating with the army, looking back at Hengshan crossing the city from time to time on his horse, just worried.

The grenadier that the Great Xia Army suddenly took out made him feel helpless.

After a while, the army from Heliancheng merged with the army led by Zhongsun Zhouting.

Zhongsun Zhouting hurriedly rode up to Helian City and asked, "General Helian, why did you withdraw like this?"

He hadn't been able to see the grenades on the top of the city before.

He Liancheng's face was extremely ugly, even a little pale, he gritted his teeth and said: "The enemy also has firearms like grenades!"

"what?"

Zhongsun Zhouting was also shocked for a moment, "How is this possible? General Helian, are you serious?"

He Liancheng said: "I said it with my own eyes, and they have already used grenades! How could it be false!"

"That……"

Zhongsun Zhouting panicked, "Where did they get the grenades?"

Immediately, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly kept silent.

Afterwards, the two led the army back to the camp.

The attack this time was a complete failure.

This was almost a blow to the ambitious Xixia Imperial Army.

All the generals in the army looked ugly.

Zhongsun Zhouting took several generals and followed Heliancheng directly to the commander's tent in Heliancheng.

As soon as he entered the commander's tent, before he was seated, he couldn't help but said, "Could it be that Song Guo also rented firearms to them?"

Now among the countries in the Central Plains, only Song State has firearms such as grenades. He really can't think of any other country besides Song State that can provide Daxia with firearms.

"I do not know either."

He Liancheng shook his head lightly and sighed: "But if their firearms were really given to them by the Song Kingdom, then no matter whether we win or lose in this battle, the result may not be so good."

Zhongsun Zhouting frowned deeply.

He also couldn't help thinking about what purpose Song Guo had in doing this.

But obviously, it was difficult for him to come up with a result.Because, the State of Song had no reasonable motive to provide Daxia with firearms at all.

After a long while, Zhongsun Zhouting said again: "Should we withdraw the troops now and pass this matter back to the imperial court for a decision?"

He Liancheng looked at him and nodded.

On this day, He Liancheng and Zhongsun Zhouting led the retreat towards the inside of the Great Wall.

There are eight hundred miles in the army, and the urgent battle report is sent to Xixia Zhongxing Mansion first.

Xixia and Daxia were making a big show, threatening to kill each other, but in the end, they only had a little contact at Hengshan Ferry, and the curtain ended hastily.

Only two days have passed.

He Liancheng and Zhongsun Zhouting were still on the way to withdraw their troops, and the report of the Babaili urgent battle had already reached Xixia Zhongxing Mansion.

Zhongsun Qifu, who is in charge of the government for the time being, is on duty in the central yamen. There are He Liandong and other famous Xixia officials in the room, and it is unknown what they are discussing.

While talking, I heard a eunuch outside shouting in a high voice: "The front line is [-] miles away..."

Then, a group of dusty soldiers hurriedly "broke" into the room.

The soldiers knelt down and said: "Grand Master, the two coaches, Helian and Zhongsun, hurry up!"

Zhongsun Qifu was moved, he didn't care to say any more, got up quickly and took the battle report from the soldier.

After opening it for a few seconds, his face turned pale and his hands trembled slightly.

He Liandong and the others looked at him with worry and doubt in their eyes.

He Liandong asked: "Grand Master...Could it be...that the front line lost?"

Even though he asked, there was a strong suspicion in his eyes.

He knows what kind of firearms ratio there is in the Xixia Imperial Army. It stands to reason that there is no reason to lose if they go to conquer the Great Xia army.And it failed so quickly.

But Zhongsun Qifu's expression told him that the battle report was definitely not good news.
