Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

Chapter 172 Unsolvable Thunderbolt
Xia Jun is in the camp!There was a dead silence.

Everyone stared at Pingxia city in dumbfounded. There were tens of thousands of Xixia soldiers who participated in the attack this time, but less than 7000 of them were able to return safely.

"Is this a firearm?"

Liang Yibu said in disbelief that it was no secret that the Song army had firearms. For a long time, the Song army's firearms had at most made some poisonous smoke or noise, which was not useful at all.

But this time, the firearms in Pingxia City have refreshed their understanding of firearms, with loud noises and strong lethality, even the iron kite in heavy armor is still vulnerable to firearms.

The Empress Dowager Liang gritted her silver teeth and scolded angrily: "5000 people, in just two days, my Xixia man has already killed and injured 5000 people!"

Since Pingxia City is located in the hinterland of Xixia, it is impossible to capture Song people as strong men and send them to death as usual. Those who carry the soil and fill the ditch are all Xixia soldiers. It also caused heavy casualties to the unsuspecting Xixia soldiers. The Xia army had already lost 5000 people just after the war started, which made them extremely distressed.

What made the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang even more bleeding was that the most elite iron kite in the Xixia Army also suffered heavy casualties.

"Queen Mother, calm down! I won't investigate for a while, so that Song Jun can succeed." Liang Yibu evaded.

"First there was the crossbow, and then there were firearms. The construction of Pingxia City by the Song army revealed strangeness everywhere." Ren Duobaozhong, whose arm was bandaged, said bitterly.

The reform of doctors in the Song Dynasty naturally spread to Xixia, and the concept of disinfection was also popular in Xixia. After Renduo Baozhong was bandaged, there was no serious problem.

"Replace defense with offense!" Wei Ming Ah Wu said solemnly.

The Xixia generals couldn't help but nodded. Whether it was the location of Pingxia City, or the god-armed crossbow and thunder-like firearms, they were all amazingly lethal, causing the Xia army to suffer heavy casualties, much higher than the previous siege, and the changes of the Song army were obvious. It came from one person, that is, the military supervisor of Pingxia City—the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

"Fan Zheng, the evil doctor!"

The Empress Dowager Xiaoliang gritted her teeth and said that she once admired Fan Zheng's medical skills and poetry very much, and thought that after breaking the city, she would leave Fan Zheng alive and let him work for her.

Now this idea has long since disappeared, replaced by a monstrous hatred for Fan Zheng.

"Pingxia City is no longer desirable, I ask the Queen Mother to retreat for the time being, and plan it slowly." Wei Ming Ah Wu solemnly asked.

Liang Yibu angrily reprimanded Wu Ming, "How dare you shake the morale of the army!"

Wei Ming A Wu smiled bitterly and said: "The Prime Minister knows how many thunderous firearms and crossbow arrows there are in Pingxia City. Our army has only attacked for two days and lost 5000 people in battle. If this continues, my Xixia man How many casualties are needed to capture Pingxia City."

Empress Dowager Xiaoliang suddenly looked embarrassed, five thousand in two days, if the attack lasted for one to twenty days, wouldn't Xia Jun have to lose 20 to 5 people, and there is no guarantee that they will be able to break through.

Liang Yibu scolded angrily: "So what if we retreat? Once we retreat, the Song army will invade the Jingsai Army Division, and the fertile land under Tiandu Mountain will be under the threat of the Song army, and all will be barren."

The generals of Xixia were silent. Xixia was born in Dangxiang and was a nomadic herder, and his food depended entirely on the fertile fields of the Jingsai Army Division in the south and the Hetao Plain.Once Pingxia City is established, half of Xixia's grain production areas will be threatened, which is an unbearable pain for Xixia.

"You can't retreat!" Ren Duo Baozhong gritted his teeth.

"Ah!" Wei Ming Wu looked at Ren Duo Bao Zhong in disbelief, didn't he know how many men from Xi Xia would need to die to capture Ping Xia City? "

Ren Duobaozhong looked at the wound on his arm, and said with pain: "Once I wait to retreat, the Great Song Dynasty will build countless Pingxia cities on the border of Xixia. Do I have to retreat next time?"

Wei Ming A Wu suddenly fell silent.

obviously!If Xixia can't find a way to crack Pingxia City, I'm afraid the Song army will use Pingxia cities one by one to completely besiege Xixia.

"Have you ever found reinforcements from the Song Army!" Xiaoliang Empress Dowager said with a frown.

Liang Yibu shook his head and said, "For the time being, no reinforcements from the Song army have arrived."

Empress Dowager Xiaoliang breathed a sigh of relief: "The order will be passed on, no matter the cost, before the arrival of reinforcements from the Song Army, Pingxia City must be captured." Empress Dowager Xiaoliang resolutely said.

"Yes!"

The Xixia generals looked at each other and nodded heavily.

Everyone knows that Pingxia City is related to Xixia's national destiny. If Pingxia City cannot be pulled out, Xixia will not only be unable to make Song Dynasty surrender, but will switch its offensive and defensive momentum, and it will be Xixia's turn to be beaten passively.

Ah Wu, whose name is Wei, nodded helplessly and said, "I have a plan to destroy Pingxia City."

"My lord, please tell me!" Xiaoliang Empress Dowager said kindly.

"Pingxia city was built with rammed earth and it took 20 days to build. Its walls are definitely not thick. If we and other soldiers broke into the city wearing heavy armor and armed with giant axes, with the support of the Poxi army and the god-armed crossbow, we can certainly chisel it." Break through the city wall and attack Pingxia City." Wei Ming Ah Wu gritted his teeth.

"Can you give it a try?" The generals of Xixia asked with bright eyes.

At the moment, the war drums were beating, and the Xixia army once again attacked the city regardless of casualties.

With the previous experience of the Song army, the god arm crossbow once again exerted great power, causing huge casualties to the Xixia army.

Suddenly, a small group of Xixia iron harriers, armed with huge axes and shields, went straight to the city wall of Pingxia City, and directly faced the city wall of Pingxia City, digging.

"not good!"

Yang Weizhong was shocked when he saw this. He personally participated in the construction of Pingxia City. He naturally knew that the walls of Pingxia City were not protected by city bricks. Destroyed by ants.

"Use it quickly, Thunderbolt!"

At that moment, the thunder that shook the sky was ignited, and it was thrown on the head of the iron kite that was chiseling the city wall.

However, the iron kite had been prepared for a long time, the huge shield formed a sharp corner, and the shocking thunder landed on the shield, and was bounced far away.

"Boom! Boom!"

Although the Thunderbolt was extremely powerful, it was far away from the iron kite that chiseled the wall, and was blocked by a huge shield, so its damage was extremely limited.

"blocked!"

Seeing this, Ah Wu couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, as long as they were given a short time to carve out a hole in the earthen wall to accommodate the body, then he would be sure to make the hole bigger and bigger until the hole was pierced through. Pingxia City, rushed into the city.

"Hurry up and ask the supervisor!" Zhong Pu was shocked when he saw this, the thunder was created by the supervisor, and now that the thunder was restrained, he naturally asked the supervisor Fan Zheng.

The messenger rushed down to the city immediately, and came back soon, holding a coil of iron wire with a strange expression on his face.

"What's the meaning of the supervising army?" Zhong Pu frowned. At such a critical juncture, Fan Zheng, as the supervising army, was not only indifferent, but sent a coil of iron wire.

The messenger said truthfully: "The general only needs to tie the Zhentianlei to the iron wire and hang it above the head of the iron kite who chiseled the wall, and the crisis will be solved immediately."

"Wonderful!" Chong Pu exclaimed.

Zhentianlei is not powerful enough. The iron kite uses the shield to flick away Zhentianlei, which greatly reduces the power of Zhentianlei. However, Xixia wants to cut through the city wall and protrude under the city wall. The sky thunder exploded above the head of the iron kite. At such a short distance, whether it is the thunderous sound or the shrapnel flying horizontally with the impact, it is fatal.

Then, sparks burst out one by one, and Zhen Tianlei hung down the city wall along the iron wire.

The iron kite under the shield looked at the thunder above his head, and suddenly died.

Accompanied by a huge roar, teams of iron kites who dug earth walls suffered heavy casualties, and the danger of Pingxia City was immediately resolved.
