The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 633 White Horse Siege
Li Wangyuan and others hid in this mansion.

Even though there were tens of thousands of troops as the backing, and the imperial conquest was still in hand, Li Wangyuan could be regarded as pathetic in such a situation.

And after learning that the ground troops in central Shu had also arrived, this naturally made things worse.

The faces of Li Wangyuan and others all changed, first they were angry, and then they became helpless.

It is true that Shuzhong bullies others by taking advantage of their power, but in war, how can anyone not bully others by taking advantage of their power?
In the past, when there were more hot air balloons in the Xixia army than the tigers, antlers, and iron horses in the central Sichuan, didn't they just rely on hot air balloons to beat the three white horses to death?
Now that there are more hot air balloons gathered in Sichuan, and Li Wangyuan and others have nothing to say, they just feel aggrieved.

This mother is really a reincarnation of heaven, and the retribution is not good.

Zhongsun Qifu has become much older and weaker these days, coughing softly and said: "Your Majesty, why don't we abandon Chongqing Mansion?"

Li Wangyuan frowned, "But if this is the case, wouldn't our hard work in Kuizhou be completely in vain?"

Zhongsun Qifu said: "Even if the Chongqing government is gone, we can at least take down other places in Kuizhou. If we give the Song Dynasty some benefits, they may still be willing to take over Kuizhou. Moreover, this battle is not because we are unwilling. Guarding the city is really beyond our capabilities. The veteran has recently studied what the Emperor of the Song Dynasty did and did. To put it bluntly, it is quite benevolent. Maybe he can understand the helplessness of our Western Xia. At that time, let Xiu Shu go back It's not impossible for a princess."

Li Wangyuan still hesitated, "But we have offended Zhao Shi before."

He sighed and said, "I am more familiar with Zhao Shi than you. When I was with Princess Mingzhu of the Yuan Dynasty, I went to find trouble with him. In the end, we all stumbled at his hands. This Zhao Shi, treat himself People are benevolent and righteous, but they are not so easy to talk to outsiders. If he insists on us taking down the entire Kuizhou, then we will have to attack Chongqing with all our strength, and the damage will be even greater. Otherwise, we will have to abandon Kuizhou State, it is even more money, silver and horses, and there is no profit at all."

In fact, now Xixia abandoning the Chongqing government is undoubtedly the best way to preserve its troops.However, not only Li Wangyuan, but also many other Xixia generals are also reluctant.

This is like a gambler's mentality. How could he not be heartbroken if he folded after placing a heavy bet on it?How could it be reconciled?

Seeing that Zhongsun Qifu and the others did not speak, Li Wangyuan said again: "I think it would be better to continue to stick to the Chongqing Mansion and wait for the Great Song Army to come. Calculated by time, the Great Song Army should not be very far away from the Chongqing Mansion. When they arrive, we should be able to hold Chongqing with our joint efforts. And even if we can’t hold it, we can leave Chongqing Mansion to the Song army and withdraw our troops.”

Zhongsun Qifu suddenly smiled, with a look of relief, "The emperor is wise."

These important ministers of Xixia, anyone can find out recently that Li Wangyuan has become more and more thoughtful about things.This is undoubtedly the blessing of Xixia Sheji.

In the past, Zhongsun Qifu always tried every means to make Li Wangyuan follow his own ideas, but now, he is willing to give up his thoughts and obey Li Wangyuan's orders.

It is impossible for a puppet emperor to grow too fast.

This veteran loyal to the Western Xia royal family is obviously more happy to see Li Wangyuan have more and more opinions of his own, rather than obeying his advice.

"The generals obey orders."

Li Wangyuan issued an order, "Lead your soldiers in the city to resist the siege soldiers in the middle of Shu. You must not fight with great fanfare, and give the soldiers on the hot air balloons in the middle of Shu a chance. We don't want to defend the entire Chongqing government. We just need to delay the time until the Song Dynasty We will make a decision after the army arrives at the Chongqing government."

"Yes!"

The generals took the lead.

The general of the Flying Army was slightly puzzled, "Your Majesty, then the general..."

Li Wangyuan sighed: "General Qu, you should bring the soldiers of the Qitian Army to stand by first!"

He really couldn't bear to let Qi Tian's army go to the sky to die. It's not easy for Xixia to deal with such a family property.

He Liancheng and others left the mansion.

There are not many troops on the bright side of the streets in the city, but in the dark, there is probably an undercurrent surging.

The hot air balloon and the ground troops in Sichuan arrived outside the west city wall of Chongqing Prefecture almost at the same time.

There were no Xixia soldiers guarding the dilapidated city walls, and the White Horse Army from Central Shu entered the city with ease and momentum like a rainbow.

Arriving in the city, the hot air balloon first dropped thunderbolts in the air for bombing, clearing the way for the ground troops.

This forced He Liancheng and the others to not dare to show their heads at all, some could only continue to hide, while others retreated towards the depths of the city.

The troops of the Western Xia Army in the city were scattered. Now, it is obvious that they can no longer coordinate and command, and can only say that they are doing their own thing.

Fortunately, after the hot air balloons swept past, the Xixia army hiding in the dark finally got a chance to take the lead.

A general led his soldiers to rush out from all over the city, approached the White Horse Army in the middle of Shu very quickly, and then started fighting.

Although the soldiers of the Western Xia army who were scattered in the sand were naturally no match for the mighty White Horse Army, they undoubtedly hindered the speed of the White Horse Army's plundering of the city by a lot.

The hot air balloon army named Shuzhong in the air, but actually the Dali Zhentian Army did not turn back, but continued to bombard the city to clear the way.

The biggest weakness of the hot air balloon is that when the two sides are fighting in close combat, it is difficult to make achievements.

When Hong Tianlei exploded, it didn't matter which side the soldiers were from. Those who were touched were either killed or injured.

In the middle of the white horse army formation, there are chariots.

There was a person on the chariot, with a green shirt like jade, and a cold expression, it was Qin Han.

Winning Chongqing Mansion is of great strategic significance in Sichuan, and he, a rare military genius in Guigu Academy in a hundred years, also set off in person.

A scout hurriedly ran to the chariot and knelt down, "Commander, there are Xixia troops rushing out from all over the city, blocking the army from moving forward."

Qin Han nodded incredulously, "Give the order down, and kill them wantonly. If they hurt them, they won't dare to show their heads."

"Yes!"

The scout then left again, accompanied by several messengers.

Qin Han gently rubbed his thumbs, and whispered to himself, "Scatter our troops to prevent our army from attacking the city, Li Wangyuan, are you waiting for Song's army?"

He was as confident as ever.

Although the ground troops he brought on this trip were only more than [-] soldiers in Tongchuan Mansion, which should not be comparable in number to the Xixia soldiers in the city, but he was very sure of taking Chongqing Mansion.

Because the Xixia army is independent, the combat effectiveness that can be formed will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Just imagine, if 5 people fight against 5 people, it will take a long time to decide the winner.But what if one of the parties is only 5000 people, and 5000 people take turns to fight?
Probably can't escape the end of being swallowed one by one.

At this time, the Xixia army emerging from all over the city was experiencing such devouring.

In order to guard against the hot air balloons in the sky, they couldn't gather too many soldiers at all.

In the spirit of the army, the White Horse Army will win by a few chips.

The sound of bombing was constant.

Successive battle reports were sent to the mansion where Li Wangyuan, Zhongsun Qifu and others were hiding.

The White Horse Army was like a broken bamboo, and the Xixia Army retreated steadily.The small army that rushed out of the hiding place was slaughtered one after another.

This made Li Wangyuan and the others look more and more ugly.

Time to evening.

The injured soldiers of the Xixia Army may not have been injured, but the Nuoda's Chongqing Mansion has already been captured by the White Horse Army for nearly half.

The White Horse Army obviously carried a lot of thunderbolts, and the bombing of the hot air balloons in the sky almost never stopped.

The cost of something like Thunderbolt is very low, and it is too easy to build.

Some Xixia generals persuaded Li Wangyuan to withdraw from the Chongqing government.

It's just that this proposal was ultimately rejected by everyone.

Now that the two sides are already fighting, if the Xixia army goes out of the city, can they escape the soldiers in the city and the hot air balloons in the sky?

And the retreat is bound to drop the morale of the army, which is more important.An army with a weak morale, no matter how many people there are, probably cannot escape the end of disintegration.

Li Wangyuan and others could only bite the bullet and continue to send orders to the generals to lead their soldiers to stop the White Horse Army.

They are now riding a tiger.

Probably, the Xixia army was able to attack the city at such a speed, which was beyond their imagination.

Even Zhongsun Qifu expressed emotion, "There must be excellent generals in the Shuzhong army."

If it were an ordinary general, even if the Xixia army worked independently, it would probably be impossible to capture half of the Chongqing government in such a short period of half a day.

And when the war was raging in Chongqing, there was finally dust flying outside the east gate of the city.

Yue Peng led two thousand light cavalry to march quickly, and now he finally arrived at Chongqing Mansion.

Not far outside the city, Yue Peng waved his hand to stop the army when he heard the sound of explosions inside the city.

As long as the White Horse Army in Central Shu has not captured Chongqing Mansion, then this Chongqing Mansion will be the Song Dynasty's Chongqing Mansion!Rather than the Chongqing government in central Sichuan, which is selling dog meat.
