() On the battlefield, when you hear the drums, you advance, and when you hear the gold, you retreat.

That was under normal circumstances. At this moment, the sound of the drum accompanied by the rain of arrows stopped suddenly, but it foreshadowed the beginning of the cruelest melee combat.

Li Kui spread his feet and rushed to the forefront. After running a few steps, he threw away the shield in his hand, roared wildly, and was the first to charge towards the Xixia army with a broad axe, followed by the Liangshan infantry.

Not to be outdone, the Xixia infantry dropped their shields at the same time and raised their weapons to meet the Liangshan soldiers.

The most tragic hand-to-hand combat finally began.

As soon as he touched it, the gap between soldiers immediately appeared.Xixia soldiers are ruthless and brave enough, but they don't know the importance of coordinated operations. On the other hand, Liangshan soldiers, although the level of bravery of Xixia soldiers is slightly insufficient, they have strong adaptability and coordination capabilities.

Often two or three people form a small formation to fight, which can well make up for the lack of physical strength, and at the same time protect each other and kill the enemy unexpectedly.

And the bravest one is Li Kui, with a pair of sharp axes flying up and down, he really is facing death and encountering death.Under his leadership, the Liangshan infantry quickly broke through Xixia's first line of defense and entered the Xixia formation.

Yue Fei led the army to stand behind to support Li Kui, and at the same time observed the combat power of Xixia soldiers.So far, the combat capability of Xixia soldiers is still in his expectation.

However, Li Kui's bravery was beyond his expectation. After all, the two of them have not been in contact for a long time. In the past, they only heard about Hei Xuanfeng, but when they saw him today, they really deserved their reputation.

On the other side of the city wall of Xingqing Mansion, Li Renai was also watching the battle.The sharpness of Liangshan's infantry surprised him even more. He had always thought that Liangshan's firearms were powerful, but he didn't expect the soldiers to be so brave.

Seeing that if the [-] infantry sent out to fight in the city continue to fight, it is very likely that they will all be accounted for here, and their own troops cannot afford to be exhausted now.

Li Ren'ai immediately ordered the cavalry to attack and cover the infantry to retreat.

Yan Qing had been closely watching the movement of the Xixia army from behind, and when the Xixia cavalry had just launched, he also led the Liangshan cavalry to meet them.

A big scuffle, killing corpses all over the field, blood flowing into rivers, finally ended with the sound of the two coaches shouting gold, and the soldiers of both sides stood on guard against each other and slowly withdrew from the battle.

Both sides did not invest too much troops in this battle, obviously they were saving their strength for the later war.

After Li Kui and others returned to the camp, Yue Fei praised him greatly, and at the same time credited him with a merit, and asked Song Qing to reward him when he played in the coming day.

After probing a few times like this, Yue Fei changed his original mind and wanted to end this battle as soon as possible. After all, this is still his territory, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it is for him. At the same time, Hua Rong's troops have also arrived.

Now Liangshan has nearly 30 troops besieging Xingqing Mansion. On the other hand, Li Renai's previous rebellion has consumed too much of his strength. The leaders of all tribes saw that he was at the end of the road, and began to wait and see.So so far, he has not expected reinforcements.

Yue Fei personally led an army of 30 to besiege the city that was defended by 15 people. If he couldn't take it down, he would go home and grow vegetables without anyone telling him.

On a dark and windy night, more than 100 artillery pieces scattered around Xingqing Mansion raised their heads quietly.After the signal was issued in the direction of the Chinese army camp, they opened fire at the same time.All of a sudden, the cannons fired in unison, and the sound shook the world. The shells slid across the night sky in gorgeous arcs, and then fell on the city wall and exploded in the barracks.It's a bit like setting off fireworks during Chinese New Year, but the fireworks are deadly.

Yue Fei's previous style of attack made Li Ren'ai almost forget that there were artillery in Liangshan's army, and at the same time, he did not expect that Yue Fei would choose to make a surprise attack at night.

The reason why Yue Fei chose to attack at night was mainly because he didn't want to cause too much damage to the soldiers. Xixia's central yang guards never dispatched, nor did the heavy armored cavalry.

Although Yue Fei is not afraid of Xixia's central guards on the frontal battlefield, after the battle, the soldiers will inevitably suffer losses.Compared with the lives of Liangshan soldiers, the walls of Xingqing Mansion were nothing.

The artillery lasted for more than an hour, and looking at the Xixia military camp, it had turned into a sea of ​​flames, and the walls on the left and right sides of the city gate behind had collapsed as a whole.

It should be said that the power of the former gunpowder was not so great at the beginning, and it was impossible to achieve such an effect if only the shells like iron balls were used.

How to say that the wisdom of the ancients is infinite, Song Qing just gave Cheng Laosi and the others a head start, and Song Qingcao almost didn't care about the subsequent development.

Firearms such as artillery and mines are constantly being updated, which is why there is such a result.

After the war ceased, the Liangshan people who had been simmering for a long time rushed from all directions to Xingqing City, which had been stripped naked, like a tide.

At this time, the remaining Xixia soldiers who had awakened also began to fight back bravely, and the most difficult street fighting began.

Yue Fei had always wanted to eliminate as many Xixia's vital forces as possible outside the city, in order to start street fighting against Xixia.But Li Ren'ai seemed to have seen through Yue Fei's scheme, so he never sent out the real main force.

Li Renai's idea is also very simple, just want to drag the war into severe winter, under such circumstances, Yue Fei has no choice but to start an all-out attack.

Liangshan's troops are twice as large as Xixia's, but Xixia wins because they are familiar with the terrain and are fighting locally.So from the very beginning, the war was very tragic.

Every time Liangshan soldiers occupied a street, they would pay a heavy price, but overall, the balance of victory was still in favor of Liangshan.

Yue Fei's Chinese army did not enter the city, and Tan Ma reported to him the battle situation in the city without interruption.

War is cruel, and there is no sense of benevolence and righteousness at this time, so even though the casualties in the city continued to rise, Yue Fei didn't even frown.

The tenacity of the Xixia defenders caused a lot of casualties to the Liangshan soldiers, but because the Liangshan soldiers had already entered the city, neither the Xixia central guards nor the leader's armored cavalry could exert their power at all.

As the sky gradually brightened, the advantage of the Western Xia defenders relying on the familiar lanes to resist the Liangshan troops gradually disappeared. With the continuous reinforcement of the Liangshan army outside the city, the outer city was finally completely occupied by the Liangshan troops.

Li Renai led the remaining central guards to stick to the inner city, still tenaciously resisting.

In this fierce battle, Yue Fei did not put all his troops into it, and there were still tens of thousands of people outside the city trying to catch the fish that slipped through the net.

Hearing that Li Ren'ai was still relying on the imperial palace to resist, Yue Fei, who was suffocated due to the huge casualties, immediately mobilized artillery and gave Li Ren'ai a stick of incense time to surrender, otherwise everything would be destroyed.

This time Li Ren'ai was really scared, but she didn't put down her weapon immediately, but sent someone to negotiate with Yue Fei.He was willing to surrender and accept all conditions, but asked Yue Fei to withdraw first.

It's not that Li Ren'ai never thought of running away, but he never thought that the city with tens of thousands of troops stationed would be breached in such a short period of time, so even if he wanted to run away, it would be too late.What he wants to do now is to delay the time as much as possible, and if possible, he also wants to negotiate terms with Liang Shan.

The battle has come to this point, if you want to use such childish means to delay time, you really think Yue Fei is a fool.

Yue Fei had only one reply, and that was to lay down his arms and surrender unconditionally, otherwise nothing would be discussed.

There are still sporadic resistance in the city, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation. While waiting for Li Renai's news, Yue Fei ordered the soldiers not to disturb the people, and not to massacre the soldiers who put down their weapons.

Then the treasury was sealed up, the prisoners were pushed outside the city, and they were scattered and detained.However, the mansions of the officials were not searched. After all, this place will still need magistrates to govern in the future, so after selection, many of these officials will still be retained.

After all, people are still afraid of death. Li Ren'ai can kill her father without hesitation, but she cherishes her own body very much.After much deliberation, he still ordered people to fly the white flag and announce his surrender.

He knew that although his sister hated him to the bone, Song Qing would not kill him, after all he was also the lord of a country.

The surrender of Li Renai marks the return of the separatist forces that have been entrenched in Northwest China for more than 100 years to the embrace of China.

From the beginning of the Battle of Hengshan to the announcement of Li Renai's surrender, nearly 3 Liangshan warriors were buried on this land. Among them, more than [-] Liangshan soldiers died in a street battle in Xingping Prefecture, which shows the tragedy of the war at that time.

Although Yue Fei felt very heavy in his heart, he didn't make it difficult for Li Ren'ai. He ordered him to pack up the car, and then sent Yan Qing and Li Kui to escort him back to Luoyang. Clear the remaining forces of Xixia here.

Liangshan's information network was undoubtedly the most developed at that time. When Yan Qing and the others were still walking on the road, Luoyang had already received the news that Xixia had been breached.

When the good news came, the whole city celebrated.Although Liangshan's army was invincible under the leadership of Liang Wang, it was obviously not comparable to the destruction of a country. This is the achievement of expanding the territory!

Song Qing ordered people to spread the whole news to the world, because this is no longer his luck alone.

Some scholars know that as early as the Han and Tang Dynasties, Xixia was an inalienable part of Middle-earth. Although it was forcibly cut off because of the weak national strength, in their hearts, it was still a part of Middle-earth.

Therefore, when the Song and Qing Dynasties first issued a call to crusade against Xixia, they were unanimously supported by scholars in Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

In fact, in the hearts of many people, Song Qing is already the uncrowned emperor.

Because Song Qing did not grant rewards to Lin Chong and Han Shizhong in the last battle of breaking the central capital, so this time they ordered rewards together.Jin made Lin Chong the Duke of England, and Han Shizhong and Yue Fei were both generals of hussars.Of course, these are all empty titles, which belong to the category of titles. After the battle, or when Song and Qing go further, they still have to continue to reward them.

Yue Fei and Han Shizhong in history were very capable, but at that time they had to suffer too much constraints, and their weapons were not as sophisticated as they are now, so victory now is a matter of course.

In order to create a momentum for the people of the country, Song Qing decided to hold a grand surrender ceremony in Luoyang to accept the surrender of Xia Zhu Li Renai.

But before Li Ren'ai arrived, Yan Qing's wife, Li Xue'er, came to find her first.
