The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 529

After eating in the inn, the group left the town, went to the Haimenzhai Ferry, and then headed north.

The two girls, Turandot and Lechan, appeared at the same time, and they were evenly divided. They were both delicate and cute, which caused some fluctuations inside and outside the town again.

Just looking at Huang Liujia's menacing momentum, no one dared to move lightly.

Arriving at the Ferry, it even attracted a lot of discussion from the crowd.

Monk Wude's old tortoise floating on the water was pointed at by countless people. Seeing Monk Wude and Le Wu standing on the back of the turtle, the crowd was even more amazed.

Some people say that this old tortoise is about to become a spirit.

Monk Wude and Le Chan didn't pay attention to their words, and Lao Gui walked steadily towards the sea.

The setting sun skimmed over the sea, shining golden light.

No monk is like Buddha.

Some Buddhist believers knelt down and kowtowed to the ground.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Wude monks ride old turtles, which is no different from Taoist gods riding cranes.This is something only immortals can do.

Huang Liujia and others boarded the boat with Turandot, followed the old turtle, and continued towards Fujian.

They didn't ask, and Monk Wude didn't say anything.But everyone knows that Monk Wude has already made a move and will escort them to Fujian.

And Xu Yuan ahead of the old turtle, there are also ships heading towards Fujian.Long Yu and Wu Amiao, master and apprentice, were on board.

The sea is vast, and I don't know the way forward.

Le Chan, who was sitting cross-legged on the old turtle, was a little dazed, while Turandot, who was standing on the board of the boat, was also in a daze.

In this way, more than ten days passed.

While Fujian Road was still calm, the battle on Kuizhou Road finally broke out.

Zhao Dongting has reached a peace agreement with the Yuan Dynasty and expressed his sincerity to Li Wangyuan.Now, naturally, it is time for Li Wangyuan to show his sincerity.

A total of [-] Xixia soldiers stationed in Liangshan sent to Zhongzhou, and arrived outside the city of Zhongzhou a few days ago.In the early morning of this day, horns sounded outside the city, and the army approached the city.

Zhongzhou County is the main residence of Zhongzhou, also known as Nanbin County.When it was under the jurisdiction of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was an important military town.

The city wall of Zhongzhou County is so high that it cannot be compared with ordinary counties.

At this time, more than ten thousand white horse troops gathered in the city.However, this can still reflect how much the White Horse Army despised the Xixia Army.

The White Horse Army in Central Shu has nearly [-] Qingqi in Kuizhou, but now they only gather more than [-] to block Xixia, what is it if it is not contempt?
On the top of the city, the white horse soldiers with white silk ribbons wrapped around their arms didn't even have much dignified expression on their faces, as if they were confident.

The consecutive victories in Kuizhou have already raised their morale to the peak.

The [-] Xixia army approached the gate of the north city amidst the sound of orderly steps, and the formation was heavily guarded.

At the forefront, there are more than a hundred huge catapults.Next to it, there are countless boulders pushed by flatbed carts.

They didn't have thunderbolts, let alone grenades, and they still used this old-fashioned catapult.

Li Wangyuan was wearing armor, and he no longer held two swords in his hands, but a long spear.The long spear stood upright, and the tip of the spear blade shone coldly in the morning light.

Beside him are several young Xixia generals.

After that, there is a spreading military flag.

5 people can be described as mighty.

On the top of the city, a general of the White Horse Army wearing silver-white armor stood proudly, and shouted at Li Wangyuan, who was under the command of the city commander: "Tiege from Xixia, how dare you attack my Great Song City?"

Li Wangyuan under the city was slightly stunned, then snorted disdainfully, and shouted: "You thieves in Shu, you are really shameless. You dare to call yourself a member of the Great Song Dynasty when you are doing things to usurp the country."

Ordinary people don't understand the strangeness, but Li Wangyuan, as the prince of Xixia, naturally cannot understand.

Dali and Shuzhong belong to the same family, and now it is something that anyone with a discerning eye in the world can see.

The general of the White Horse Army just sneered, "It's ridiculous, we will help the country to defeat the Yuan army and revive Kuizhou, why is there a theory of usurping the country?"

But Li Wangyuan was too lazy to talk to him, "It's useless to talk too much, just abandon the city and go back to Shuzhong obediently, so you won't have to fight."

"Ha ha!"

The general of the White Horse Army laughed, "As for you Xixia remnants and defeated soldiers, why dare you speak nonsense and ask me to abandon the city?"

He waved.

Soon, hot air balloons slowly lifted into the sky in the city.

Li Wangyuan's face changed slightly, knowing that it was impossible to take down Kuizhou without bloodshed, so he immediately raised his spear and shouted: "Siege the city!"

The White Horse Army came from the middle of Shu, but the middle of Shu was next to Kuizhou.It is impossible for them to go deep into Kuizhou if they want to cut off the supplies of the White Horse Army.To seize the city, there is only a hard attack.

Attacking around the city is rare in this era, unless it is almost like burning, killing and looting behind the enemy.Otherwise, it would be impossible for the supply of food and grass to keep up.

And Li Wangyuan also had an agreement with Zhao Dongting, and Kuizhou was the former land of the Song Dynasty, so he naturally didn't dare to massacre the people on Kuizhou Road.

Xixia is now the weakest of the forces competing for the world. Compared with Zhao Dongting's Great Song, they need the Song Dynasty as an ally.Otherwise, I am afraid that it will soon be destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty.

There were repeated bangs and bangs.

The projectile rods of the artillery carts under the city were lifted up one by one, and the boulders were thrown to the top of the city or smashed on the city wall.

Hundreds of cannon throwing vehicles can barely be said to be landslides and ground cracks.But this is nothing compared to the towering and sprawling city of Chungju, just like a boulder shaking a mountain.

There was a white horse army on the top of the city who was hit by a huge boulder, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere.But the rest of the White Horse Army did not retreat in the slightest.

One after another, thunderbolts shot out from the small cannon-throwing vehicle and fell towards the Xixia army formation below.

Looking down from the heights, these thunderbolts shot farther than the boulders, and some of them fell into the middle of the Xixia army formation.

The flames exploded.

Countless Xixia soldiers screamed.

The Xixia soldiers who saw the power of Thunderbolt for the first time were all terrified and showed signs of shock.

At the beginning, the Song Dynasty defeated the Yuan Dynasty with thunder and thunder, and regained the lost ground at an extremely fast speed.They thought it was unbelievable at first, but now they take it for granted.

The power of Thunderbolt is much greater than that of stones.

It was just the first round of artillery confrontation, and the Xixia soldiers did not know how much more they would lose than the White Horse Army on the top of the city.

A Xixia general who was immediately beside Li Wangyuan hurriedly said: "Marshal, their bombardment is too fierce! Shall we retreat for the time being and think about it later?"

But Li Wangyuan raised the spear in his hand and shouted: "Siege the city!"

Make the flag wave.

The snare drum continued.

The Xixia soldiers rushed to the city wall shouting and killing.

On the top of the city, the artillery fire of the White Horse Army continued to unleash.

The Xixia soldiers had only reached the front of the city six hundred paces, and countless arrows shining with cold light appeared on the arrow stacks on the top of the city.

"put!"

Following the shouts of the generals at the top of the city, a series of crossbow arrows shot towards the Xixia soldiers below the city.

These crossbow arrows are powerful and heavy, and can often shoot through two or three Xixia soldiers with one arrow.

The Xixia soldiers in the front row were hated by countless people in an instant.

The general of the White Horse Army at the head of the city just laughed.

Li Wangyuan raised his eyes to look at the top of the city, his face was ugly.He doesn't know much about military affairs, but now, he can see that it is not easy to break through Zhongzhou.

The White Horse Army already occupied the advantage of the city wall, but now the military equipment is so much stronger.Not to mention [-] Xixia soldiers, even [-] may not be able to take this city.

But what can he do?

Looking at the soldiers dying in front of him, he also wanted to retreat.But thinking of his younger sister Li Xiushu, he really couldn't bear to give the order to withdraw from the army.

My sister has just left from the Yuan Dynasty, is it possible that she will continue to live that dark life in the palace of the Song Dynasty again?
At this time, the hot air balloon in central Shu also floated over the Xixia soldiers.

One after another thunder crashed down.

The Xixia soldiers who braved the rain of arrows and rushed to the side of the moat were blown up again.

There were many soldiers carrying ladders, but before they could put them on the moat, they were blown to pieces by the Thunderbolt.

The time passed quickly, a full count of 10 minutes.

There were [-] Xixia soldiers attacking the city in mighty force, but no one was able to rush out of the city gate, and even very few people rushed through the moat.

The battering rams pushed out by the army were taken seriously by the white horse army in the sky, and they were blown to pieces one after another.

"Marshal, Ming Jin! We can't take it down!"

"marshal!"

"The last general begs the marshal to retreat!"

"If the fight continues, the soldiers will die!"

More and more Xixia generals couldn't hold back, and followed Li Wangyuan, repeatedly persuading him to retreat.

It can be said that the siege has just begun, but the White Horse Army has already dealt them a head-on blow.

The loss of soldiers may be thousands of people, but they have not even touched the city gate. How can this battle be fought?
Even the battering rams have been blown up, how can this city gate be broken?
