Chapter 2473
After several days of hard work, the moat of the Xixia King City, which was very long, was finally filled up, blocking the Northwest Army, and the last barrier to attack the Xixia King City was cleared. After two days of rest, the Northwest Army officially attacked the Xixia King City. A general offensive was launched.

Zeng Yi, who participated in the general attack on Tubo, faced the Xixia King City and the final general attack of the Northwest Army. He clearly felt the difference between Xixia and Tubo. The Xixia army, especially the last army, fought extremely tenaciously and the soldiers were fierce Not afraid of death, even with the firepower of the Northwest Army, he repelled the Northwest Army that had already attacked the city wall several times.

As an assault force, the Death Battalion of the Death Squad suffered a lot of casualties. Facing the tenacious Xixia people who entered the field, the Northwest Army also found it difficult to deal with.

"Death Battalion, fear of war has begun to appear. Why don't you withdraw?" After all, the Death Battalion is not a regular army. He likes to fight alone, not to mention that there are also a group of Xixia soldiers among them. After finding out that the dead battalion was facing such a large number of casualties, Zeng Yi couldn't help but said.

But immediately, a general of the Northwest Army shook his head and said: "One effort, then decline, and three exhaustion. If we retreat, I am afraid that the dead camp will be abolished!"

Although it is said that the death camps are all about death prisoners surrendering to the army, the death camp is also a very important reason for the Northwest Army to reduce casualties. If the death camp fee is paid, the battle to seize the city gate with the most casualties will have to face the Xixia Army directly. people!
"In the current state of the Dead Battalion, it is impossible to break through the defense of the Xixia people!"

The commander-in-chief of the Northwest Army pondered for a moment, and said, "Order! Whoever first invades the Xixia King City will be rewarded with [-] silver coins and be made a baron!"

As soon as the words came out, the deputy general immediately conveyed the order!

"General, under your order, whoever first invades the Xixia King City will be rewarded with [-] silver and be made a Baron!"

Soon the news spread all over the battlefield. Hearing this order, the death battalion, who had been a little timid just now, suddenly seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood. The Western Xia defenders were fighting, and they couldn't resist for a while!

As a player, Zeng Yi still doesn't quite understand the temptation of a lowest title to these ordinary people, especially those in the dead word camp.

Although the Central Plains has an imperial examination system, which can open up the circulation of social classes and network talents for the court, the imperial examination is not something that anyone can take part in if they want to. Generally speaking, at least three kinds of people cannot take the exam, one is the son of businessmen, and the other is the son of criminals. , there is another kind, door-to-door son-in-law.In real history, Li Bai, the greatest poet of all ages, has all three things.The ancestors committed crimes, and the father was in business, so he was the door-to-door son-in-law.I have to admire that Li Bai is really good at catching lottery tickets.These three kinds of people were called untouchables at that time, and the state owned four people, namely scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce.The first two are called good people and can be tested, while the latter two cannot be tested.

In addition to a few people, there are ordinary catchers. The catchers are crucial to the stability of the Central Plains, but the catchers are untouchables.The three classes of yamen servants, except for the strong class, are all untouchables.Someone in a family has done this, and three generations cannot take the imperial examination. At least in theory, the status is lower than that of ordinary farmers.

If you can't take the imperial examination, you will basically ruin the potential of a family's development. An ordinary person may be an ordinary person for generations, and there is basically no possibility of further progress.Although the title of baron is small, he has already left his status as a pariah when he was young, and he is also a nobleman when he was young.

The nobles don't have those restrictions. For those in the Dead Word Camp, this is an opportunity, an opportunity to change the fate of the family's descendants in one step. For them, this is great news.Especially there are 500 taels of silver, such a large amount of money, for many people, they have become rich overnight. If they can get this title and silver, they can not only live a good life, but even marry a concubine.

"Is the temptation of 500 taels of silver so great for a title?"

"Your Majesty Ni doesn't understand. For these death row prisoners, there is no greater temptation than this!"

"Then, why don't you reward me a little more?"

The head coach of the Northwest Army shook his head, "You can't give too much, too much is not precious!"

Under the temptation of titles and money, the morale of the dead camp reached its peak, and tens of thousands of people in the dead camp were all killed on the city wall, and the entire city wall of the Xixia King City was in a mess.

The Northwest Army immediately gave an order, and the regular army followed. The regular army followed the road opened by the dead camp, and soon climbed the city wall.

At this moment, the commander of the Northwest Army began to order the artillery to reach the close range. Hearing this order, Zeng Yi knew that the Northwest Army was going to attack the gate of the Xixia King City.

In ancient wars, siege warfare was necessary and tragic.In the age of coolers, the defenders in siege warfare had a geographical advantage.Throwing stones and rolling logs down on the city, with the help of gravity, the lethality is even greater.On the other hand, the attacker needs to overcome gravity and attack upwards, so the difficulty can be imagined.

Therefore, in the ancient siege, there were five ways to surround and ten ways to attack.In other words, with five times the number of people, you can surround a city, and with ten times the number of people, you can attack a city.

Of course, this is not absolute, just like now, the strength of the Northwest Army is not five times that of the Xixia Army.The Northwest Army also had time to besiege the Xixia King City, so the Northwest Army had to attack the city.In fact, when attacking a city, the first thing to attack is the city gate.Compared with the thick, tall and solid city walls, the city gate is the weakest link in the city wall system.

In the past, most of the siege gates used chariots to smash open the city gates with brute force, but now the Northwest Army is equipped with artillery, so there is no need to approach the dangerous chariots!
Several cannons were pushed to the front line and aimed directly at the gate of the Xixia King City. Seeing this situation, the Xixia people became nervous again, but at this time the city wall was in chaos, and the two armies were fighting everywhere. The Xixia people didn't care about the artillery at all. up.

Although the gate of the Xixia King City is made of wood, it is still very hard because it is covered with iron sheets. If you use the previous method to charge a car, it will not take half a day to smash it open, but the current artillery is different. , the city gate has been cracked.

In the end, after several rounds of artillery fire, the entire south gate of the Xixia King City was bombarded into pieces. "The cavalry is ready to enter the Xixia King City!" Tens of thousands of cavalry from the Northwest Army who had been prepared for a long time, directly killed them,
After the south gate of the Xixia King City was opened, a group of Xixia people held their spears and guarded behind the gate, facing the cavalry of the Northwest Army charging over, they formed a formation of spears.
