The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1396
The two armies temporarily truce.

After all, the Great Xia Army had the superiority in numbers and arms. After the morning's battle, they once again captured most of the East City of Zhongxing Mansion.

Li Xiushu didn't care about eating. After retreating from the front line, her face was a little pale, and she immediately summoned all the generals in the command post, dripping with sweat.

He Liandong, Wei Fengmao and others hurriedly gathered in the house.

As soon as they arrived, Li Xiushu asked, "How much ammunition is left in the army?"

She had to ask this question, because when she led the army to fight against the Great Xia Army on the front line, she heard countless shouts such as "I'm out of bullets".

Then, he watched helplessly as those soldiers who had no bullets rushed towards the enemy's position with their Shenlong blunderbuss.

But how can a bayonet beat a bullet?

Those figures one after another made her heart feel like a knife.

The hatred for the Yuan Dynasty gradually accumulated to the extreme.

If it wasn't for the Yuan Dynasty to provide arms to Daxia, how could they be reduced to the current situation?
And the general's answer was really not optimistic.

At this time, soldiers from Xiangqing, Gansu, Xipingfu, Xiazhou and other places gathered in Zhongxing Mansion, and none of the troops had sufficient ammunition.

After several days of fighting, their ammunition was almost exhausted.

Even with the most optimistic calculations, the remaining ammunition in the city will support them to fight for about two days at most.

In two days, it is still unknown whether the Forbidden Army of Shuzhong in the Great Song Dynasty will be able to arrive at the Zhongxing Mansion.

After listening to the reports from the generals, Li Xiushu only asked: "I'm about to run out of ammunition now, what's your plan?"

No one answered.

From the moment they decided to stick to the Zhongxing Mansion, today's predicament is actually doomed.

In fact, Li Xiushu herself understood this point. After a long while when no one spoke, she said in a soft but dignified voice: "If that's the case, let's fight to the death..."

Fighting to the death, two simple words, seem to weigh more than ten thousand catties at this moment.

in the afternoon.

Fighting started again.

Although the Western Xia defenders fought the enemy bravely, under the strong firepower of the Great Xia Army, the East City was still completely occupied by the Great Xia Army after all.

The vanguard general Wei Fengmao was shot twice, but he still led the army to fight to the death.In the end, it was forcibly carried down by the soldiers.

At night, the Great Xia Army took advantage of the darkness to launch a fierce attack on the southern and northern cities of Zhongxingfu.

The fighting continued all night.

The outer city of Zhongxing Mansion was completely captured by the Great Xia Army.

The empress had to lead the soldiers in the city to retreat to the inner city.

When I arrived in the inner city, I found out that there were nearly 16 soldiers.Up to now, there are only more than [-] people left.

The number of dead souls crying over the Zhongxing Mansion is already astronomical.

The ammunition that was originally expected to last for two days was exhausted in the fight last night.

There is still food in the Zhongxing mansion, but it is exhausted.

Li Xiushu, who hadn't slept all night, didn't feel sleepy. Standing on the top of the inner city, she quietly stared at the fragmented outer city.

After several days of fighting, the prosperity of the Zhongxing Mansion has long since disappeared.Civilization was destroyed in the artillery fire. Looking around, the outer city of Zhongxing Mansion was full of ruins.

There are still houses being burned down.

The hastily bandaged Wei Fengmao, He Liandong and many other generals climbed to the top of the city and went to Li Xiushu's side.

He Liandong asked, "Your Majesty, our army has run out of ammunition. What should we do next?"

Li Xiushu closed her eyes slowly, and only said two words.

Still those two words.

"Fight to the death..."

Before Chen's time, the Great Xia Army assembled again in the outer city.

As the Imperial Guards in Shu were getting closer and closer to Zhongxing Mansion, it was obvious that they were extremely urgent and wanted to completely capture Zhongxing Mansion.

Changsha City.

Zhao Dongting kept receiving secret reports and battle reports from the front in the palace.

Although no one else was in the Zhongxing Mansion, all the wars that the Zhongxing Mansion experienced were sent back to Changsha by the Military Intelligence Department and Skynet spies.

Zhongsun Zhouting died in battle.

Zhongsun Qifu died of illness.

The empress is at the front line in armor.

……

Every secret report made Zhao Dongting feel extremely uneasy.

But he is far away in Changsha, and there is nothing he can do at this moment.

There is always a limit to human power.

Even though he is the emperor of Song Dynasty, he still feels a deep sense of powerlessness at this moment.

After receiving the battle report that the Empress was in armor and going to the front line, Zhao Dongting sent a letter to the Zhongxing Mansion, asking the spies to inform Chen Yidao that Li Xiushu's life must be saved no matter what.

The Zhongxing Mansion was captured, but he could still let the army take it back again.And if Li Xiushu died, there would be no possibility of her coming back to life.

In his previous life, Zhao Dongting had heard the story of King You playing the feudal princes in order to make Bao Si smile. At that time, he only thought that King You of Zhou was a fool.But now, I have a different idea.

For his own woman, he could not give up the whole world.

But the world, if you just give up your own woman, can you do it yourself?
Zhao Dongting had no answer in mind.

……

The flames of war ignited again in Zhongxing Mansion.

The Great Xia Army attacked the inner city with grenades and hot air balloons.

The entire inner city wall of Zhongxing Mansion was obliterated in the artillery fire.

Some soldiers screamed and fell to the top of the wall amidst the sound of gunfire.

In the continuous artillery fire, the east gate of the inner city of Zhongxing Mansion was the first to be broken.

Afterwards, the other doors were broken down one after another.

Countless Daxia soldiers poured into the inner city from the outer city.

The Xixia defenders ran out of ammunition, and the soldiers had to take up cold weapons again and pounce on the Daxia army entering the city.

There are quite a few masters in the army.

Some of them possess unique skills, and they show a striking edge just after making a move.

But with the passage of time, these people gradually fell in the guns after all.

Zhongxing Mansion is really at the critical moment of life and death.

At night, the Great Xia army approached the palace.

The Xixia defenders were defeated and retreated to the palace.

There were originally more than 2 soldiers, but after this whole day of fighting, there were less than [-] soldiers left.

After all, Xixia's family foundation was wiped out in these years of war.

Throughout the entire history of Xixia, there has probably never been such a bleak moment.

It is conceivable that after this battle, the territory of Xixia was terrified and empty.

Every family has no sons, and the whole country is full of enchantment.

But even so, the Empress still did not choose to surrender to the Great Xia Army.

When the gunfire spread outside the palace, the empress at the palace gate just raised the long sword in her hand and shouted loudly: "All soldiers, follow me to fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

roar.

Behind her, there are many soldiers in armor, as well as ordinary people.There are even eunuchs and court ladies.

The bloodiness of the entire Zhongxing Mansion has been ignited in the past few days of fighting.

Li Xiushu has never led a large army to victory like Zhao Dongting, and the New Deal in the country has not achieved the effect of the Song Dynasty.But at this moment, her prestige in Zhongxing Mansion can definitely be compared with Zhao Dongting's prestige in Song Dynasty.

Taking the lead for several days is enough to move all the soldiers and civilians in Zhongxing Mansion for Li Xiushu.

Even if such an emperor could not lead Xixia to prosperity, the fault would never be on her.

When the figure of the Great Xia Army appeared at the gate of the palace, the vanguard general Wei Fengmao raised his gun and shouted: "All soldiers, fight to the death!"

Amidst the shouts of the tide, the vanguard army consisting of the imperial guards of Yiwei Division and the imperial guards in the city, with only about 2000 left, rushed towards the gate of the palace.

They resisted the bullets of the Great Xia Army with their flesh and blood.

The Empress was dejected and speechless, looking at the soldiers who followed her forward, with tears in her eyes.But the tears never flowed down.

More and more Great Xia Army gathered outside the palace.

It's just that they didn't fire any more cannons into the palace.

More than two thousand Xixia vanguards resisted the Great Xia army at the gate of the palace for nearly half an hour, and no one retreated alive.

The gates of the palace opened and closed countless times.

When the figures of the vanguard at the gate of the palace thinned out, another general beside the empress raised his gun.

"Soldiers of the Qitian Army, follow this general and fight to the death!"

Yu Wenkang, a veteran Xixia general who took over the position of Qu Rujian as the general of the Qitian Army, led more than [-] soldiers of the Qitian Army to kill towards the palace gate.

The Qi Tian Army never took off that night.

The veteran, about seventy years old, took the lead.

Night, gradually sinking.

"Xiazhou generals, follow this general, fight to the death!"

"Soldiers of the Xiangqing Army, follow this general and fight to the death!"

"Soldiers of the Xiping Mansion, follow this general, fight to the death!"

"..."

The sound of a deadly battle resounded in the palace.

Although the Great Xia Army had reached the gate of the palace, none of the people in the palace fled in panic to the depths of the palace.

Empress town palace gate.

At this time, everyone in the palace is using their lives to defend the last dignity of Xixia.
