"The city is broken..."

"The Song army has entered the city..."

As the two city gates of the east city and the south city were breached, panicked cries spread throughout the streets and alleys of Lingzhou City. Last Asylum.Internet without pop-up window update fast

"The city is broken!?" Wei Ming Anhui sat down slumped, his face turned pale in an instant, and beads of sweat rolled down, "How is it possible that the former emperor's army was at its peak, and it took a month and a half with an army of [-]?" Yu Cai captured Lingzhou, and the Song army defending the city was only five thousand, so it's impossible..." He couldn't believe that he defended Lingzhou City with [-] elite soldiers, and the Song army only took a short time. After breaking through the city defense in two hours, he yelled at Yuhou who reported the situation.

"My lord, how dare you lie about the military situation? Now the east gate and the south gate have been breached, the Song Army brigade has entered the city, and the Moer army is organizing soldiers and young men to build barricades to stop the Xia army. Now there are only the west city and the north city. There is no movement outside, so the lord has to make plans early!" Yu Hou shivered in shock at Wei Ming An Hui's ferocious expression, how did the usually gentle gentleman become like this, he saluted again and again.

"Order Mohe to block the Song army, and ask Sai Zhuo to mobilize all the troops to guard the inner city. Bring my armor and swords. This king will go to the city to supervise the battle in person!" Wei Ming Anhui thought for a moment.

"My lord, the outer city has been breached. The inner city walls are short and the defense facilities are short. I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on, so I'd better abandon the city!" Yuhou looked at the lord, cursing inwardly. It's this time, why are you pretending to be a loyal minister?While the Song army had not completed a full encirclement, it was justified to escape to save their lives.

"If you dare to speak again, the loser will be killed!" Wei Ming Anhui, dressed neatly with the help of two attendants, said angrily when she heard Yuhou's words.

"My lord, don't be angry. You are a prince, how can you risk the stone yourself, or a lower official will do it for you!" Seeing this, the magistrate of Lingzhou quickly asked the Marquis Yu to step down and said.

"Gaozhifu, now is the time of life and death, how can this king abandon the country and ignore the people!" Wei Ming Anhui said awe-inspiringly, "Gaozhifu, you immediately take out the property in the treasury and distribute it to the army , Pile firewood on the barn and pour fire oil on it. Once the inner city is breached, set it on fire immediately, and don’t leave the food and grass to the Song army!”

"Yes, the next official takes orders!" The magistrate sighed, and the prince was nerdy again.This is determined to live and die with the city, but if he doesn't leave, he can't leave either.According to the law of the Xia Kingdom, the chief official was killed or captured.Everyone has to sit still, even if they escape back, it will be the result of death and destruction.Come on, everyone dies together!

"Report to the lord. General Sai Zhuo has led [-] generals of his subordinates to the city to defend the city. Now a large number of tribal leaders, family members and people living in the city are gathered outside the city to take refuge in the city. General Sai Zhuo dare not open the city without authorization. Please show me the prince!" "At this time, a young general in the army reported.

"Don't open the city. Now is the time for them to serve the country, but they just want to protect themselves and let them fight the Song army!" Weiming An Hui said coldly.

. . . . . .

The gate of the south city was wide open, and the tiger generals of the Zhongyong Army and the lion generals who came up from the corner of the city flanked each other. The battalions prepared to take advantage of the victory and pursue.He stepped forward to check, and Xia Jun had already built a barricade on the main road leading to the inner city with horse stakes, traffic jams, earth bags, etc. to block the way forward. The first line of defense was formed, followed by soldiers holding spears, long knives, and hatchets, and then countless archers. Whether it was horse troops or infantry who stepped forward to attack, they would inevitably cause greater casualties.

"Adjust the cannon battalion to move forward and blast the barricades. The dragon generals and leopard generals approach the inner city along the main road and complete the siege; the tiger generals and lion generals clear the streets on both sides of the main road and control the main roads!" Zhao Ren watched and knew that Xia Jun It didn't collapse because the city was broken, and it was able to carry out organized resistance, so it could only fight while advancing.

The appearance of the five rapid-fire guns on the street immediately caused Xia Jun to riot. It was the first time for them to watch these things at such a close range. It was no different than being in the city at the moment, and there was still a place to hide. At this time, they were on the street There is no way to avoid people, so you can only bury your body behind the big shield and pray that the shells don't fall on you!

The sound of the 'boom' cannon sounded, and everyone felt a little bullied when they fought like this. The distance between the two armies was only more than a hundred steps, hiding out of the range of other people's bows and arrows. The muzzle spouted like a gust of hurricane, blowing the Xia army at the front to pieces. Even if the big shields in their hands were two inches thick, they couldn't stop the iron balls and gunpowder smoke that shot out. After they dispersed, all the pikemen in front of the formation became meat shields and were beaten into sieves.

After two rounds of artillery fire, there were piles of corpses in front of Xia Jun's barricades, and blood flowed all over the ground, and then the shotguns were replaced with solid bullets. How could the barricades withstand the ravages of these iron bumps, and turned into a pile of tatters all over the place? , The soldiers of the Xia army could no longer bear this naked massacre, and the formation collapsed. The dragon generals and hussars, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, unsheathed their swords and chased down the rout along the street, approaching the inner city.At this time, the tiger general and the lion general had already detoured to both sides, controlled the entire block, and began to wipe out the remnants of the Xia army. . .

Besides, Yao Gu led the army to rush into the east gate. The situation they faced was almost the same as that of the Zhongyong army. After the east gate was attacked, reinforcements from the Xia army arrived immediately. .Seeing that Xia Jun was determined to resist, Yao Gu ordered the vanguard to launch an assault, trying to crush Xia Jun's defense in one fell swoop. In the afterglow, the two sides started hand-to-hand combat with swords and spears, but the vanguard was quickly overwhelmed by the constantly arriving Xia Jun. was wiped out.

Yao Gu was shocked. Only then did he realize that Xia Jun's resistance was not as easy as he imagined. He immediately sent a cavalry army to charge forward, with the intention of opening the way for the follow-up troops.Although in the northwest, the horses in the Shaanxi army are not so rich, and the cavalry army is full of elites in the army, and they are all fierce men.However, the East City is a residential area for civilians, merchants, tourists, and soldiers. The streets are vertically and horizontally narrow, and the cavalry had to march in columns. Along the way, they were constantly attacked from roofs and windows along the way, and stones, rubble, and arrows flew from all directions. Come.

When these cavalry troops managed to kill an open space, the residents in groups rushed out from the alleys and narrow streets with knives and axes, and joined the Xia army soldiers into the battle.Speaking of it, it is considered unlucky for the Jingyuan army. Most of the people living here are members of the Dangxiang tribe, and those living near the barracks are all family members. Many of their family members died in this battle. This time they can find a place to take revenge. It looks braver than the soldiers.Under the siege of the army and the people, the cavalry of the Jingyuan Army were unlucky. They wanted to run, but they couldn't run;

The fierce battle continued until the night fell. The Jingyuan army launched several attacks but was repelled. The sky gradually darkened, and the narrow streets were shrouded in shadows. Shoot deadly arrows.And the top of the head was not safe. Xia Jun threw all kinds of things that could be used as weapons at them. The bricks and stones that fell from the sky, tables, chairs and benches were fine at this time, but the most feared thing was the boiling oil and boiling water. Unbearable. . .In order to bypass these streets and roadblocks, the Jingyuan army had to fight house by house.

Although Yao Gu stepped forward to supervise the battle in person, the progress was still slow, and after repeatedly repelling the Song army's attacks, the morale of the soldiers and civilians defending the city was greatly boosted, and they launched a counterattack against them, trying to drive them out of the city.Yao Gu was shocked when he saw this, it was all his own property, so he urgently ordered to switch from attack to defense, suspend the attack, hold the city gate, send someone to ask Zhao Tun for help or suspend the attack, and fight again at dawn. . .

Yan Yanjun, who was in charge of fighting for reinforcements outside the west gate, saw the sun set on the west mountain, and the sound of killing in the city was loud, but the west gate was extremely calm, neither Xia Jun fled nor friendly troops opened the gate. Liu Yanqing couldn't help feeling anxious, and frequently sent scouts to the front of the city He inquired, but was disappointed repeatedly, seeing that he was not destined for the credit of his hand, he couldn't help scolding Zhao Tun for being biased, they got promoted and made a fortune, and let him sit on the bench and watch white dramas.

"General Qi, the gate of the city has been opened, and a large number of people have left the city!" Just as Liu Yanqing was distressed, the scouts flew to report.

"Move troops into the city!" Liu Yanqing was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly ordered the whole army to attack. Although it was a bit late, he could finally have some soup!

The one who opened the west gate was none other than Gao Xiang, the magistrate of Lingzhou. He rose slowly, and after Liang Hou lost power, he quickly drew a clear line with Liang Shi and took refuge in Li Qianshun.Li Qianshun was thinking about promoting Sinology, so he appointed him as the magistrate of Lingzhou.

It is said that Xia Guo treated him well, but Gao Xiang knew that he was a traitor. If the army was defeated and fell into the hands of the Song army, he would die. How could he dare to mention that scene, so he packed up the things secretly, and slipped out of the inner city by taking the opportunity to appease the people in the city.He is not stupid, he called the nobles outside the inner city who were blocked, thinking that the law will not blame the public, and running with these people, maybe he can save his life, maybe he can keep his official position, so he pretended to pass on the king's order, saying It was to escort these nobles out of the city to take refuge, and tricked them into opening the city gate.

Gao Xiang knew that the south gate and the east gate had been lost, only the north gate and the west gate remained intact. The west city was successively the location of high-level military and government agencies such as Lingzhou General Manager's Mansion, Dudu Mansion, Jiedushisi, and Xiazhou's government offices. Both the government treasury and the armory are there, and of course the most important thing is that his official office is also there, and there has been no Song army outside the west city. Now that it is dark, he chose Ximen. . .
