The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 471
"You Xixia people are so brave, you dare to deceive us!" Zamuhe said with an angry Qin Huizhi.

Qin Huizhi was a little dazed, and said, "General, where do you start with this?"

Zamuhe said to Qin Huizhi: "Your so-called eighth prince is the nephew of a certain general of yours. You still say who the eighth prince is. Do you really think we are fooling you?"

When Qin Huizhi heard what Zhamuhe said, he cried out that he was wronged, and said, "General, this is indeed our Eighth Prince."

But he also behaved like this, and the more Jamuhe didn't believe it, so the two of them were kicked out of the barracks before dawn.

Qin Huizhi didn't care about this, as long as the two of them survived and the peace talks were successful, it didn't matter.

The two returned to Xingqing Mansion without any risk, and of course brought the anger of the Mongols.

The next day, the Mongolian army came in a menacing manner.

It was still the same routine. First, hundreds of catapults began to bombard the city wall of Xingqing Mansion. After causing some damage to the city wall, the Mongolian army began to attack the city on a large scale.

The Mongols' arrow array was very powerful, and the arrow rain from the Mongolian army had shot in overwhelmingly from a distance.

The Mongolian army has entered the attack range, but relying on the long-range attack of the arrow array, the Xixia army standing on the city wall dare not stand up at all, and can only watch the Mongolian army approaching the city.

At this time, the Western Xia Dynasty Hall has exploded.

Li Qianshun looked at Li Gu and Qin Huizhi who had returned safely, but he didn't look happy at all. After all, he sent the two of them out to negotiate, but now it's a good thing. coming.

"I would like to know why the Mongolian army has not retreated, but instead attacked." Li Qianshun looked at the two people in front of him, and said coldly: "Did you say something that should not be said, which completely angered the Mongolians? "

Qin Huizhi smiled wryly, and said: "Your Majesty, the eighth prince and I are in the enemy's camp. We can't help ourselves, let alone anger the Mongolian army. If we really dare to say something disobedient, maybe we can come back alive." It’s all an impossible thing.”

When Li Qianshun heard what Qin Huizhi said, he was right when he thought about it. They wanted to be arrogant, but it was probably impossible for them to be arrogant, otherwise they would definitely be killed by the Mongolian army.

"Tell me carefully what happened after you entered the Mongolian army camp. Why did the Mongolian army suddenly attack Xingqing Mansion like crazy?" Li Qianshun said to Qin Huizhi.

When the two of them talked about the ins and outs of the matter, everyone was a little depressed. After all, the Mongol had no peace talks at all. If this is the case, then he still claimed to let Li Qianshun go out for peace talks?

"Your Majesty? Could it be that they refused the peace talks because they thought the Eighth Prince was not qualified to go?" one of the ministers said softly.

It seems that this can only be the case.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the Mongolian army has no intention of peace talks at all!" Another minister said softly at this time.

Discussing these now, to be honest, is meaningless at all, after all, the Mongolian army has already approached the city.

The Mongolian army outside the city has already arrived at the city. After all, Xingqing Mansion is the capital of the Xixia Kingdom. Although it has not experienced any wars, but after the city walls have been reinforced by several generations of emperors, it is still difficult for the Mongolian army to break through in a short time. .

After the Mongol army arrived at the city, the arrow array lost its effect. After all, if you continue to shoot arrows at this time, you will easily hurt your own people, so the Mongol army's arrow array stopped.

At this time, the Xixia army on the city wall finally had a chance to fight back. They began to emerge and started shooting arrows at the Mongolian army below the city.

Arrows, wood, and rolling stones shot towards the Mongolian army below the city one by one. Zamuhe saw that the number of people dying in front of him was gradually increasing, and he was very anxious in his heart. Finally, he gritted his teeth and rushed go up.

Zhamuhe came to the gate of the city, and watched the huge rafters continuously hitting the gate, but the gate was still motionless, and Zhamuhe was in a hurry.

"Come on, pour oil on the door for me!" Enraged, Zamuhe ordered directly.

The city gate of Xingqing Mansion was made of wood, and after being doused with kerosene at this time, a little bit of fire immediately ignited a raging fire.

It should be said that the Mongol army was really in a hurry at this time. It was hot and rainless in Xixia, and the wooden gate was doused with kerosene. Immediately after the fire, it burned crazily. It didn't take long to burn a pair. According to legend, the Mongolian army outside can already see the Xixia army inside.

Zamuhe sneered, when the gate of the city was broken open, that is when the city of Xingqingfu was broken.

Seeing that the Mongolian army actually burned their own city gate, the Xixia army in the city was also anxious. They also understood that if the city gate was broken, all the defenses would be destroyed.

The news that the city gate was burned quickly spread to the palace. After Li Qianshun heard the news, his expression changed, as if he realized what was going to happen next.

"Hurry up and order people to block the city gate!" Li Ganshun ordered anxiously.

At the critical moment of life and death, the army and civilians of Xixia burst out with amazing potential. They actually forcibly blocked most of the city gate with the stones thrown by the Mongols with a trebuchet just now.

But this kind of piled stones are not so strong after all. When the city gate collapsed with a "hula", the Mongols did not rush in, but shot arrows inside, and then shot arrows under the cover of archers. , began to order people to remove the stone.

At this time, the Xixia people also began to shoot arrows with bows and arrows towards the outside, and the two sides began to shoot at each other, but the Mongols' arrows were accurate, and they were extremely lethal to the Xixia army.

As time passed by, the number of casualties on both sides has been increasing. The Xixia army was involved in a large number of troops at this city wall, and the Mongols took advantage of this opportunity to quietly climb up the city wall and began to fight against the city wall. Fight the Xixia army.

The war has entered a fierce state, but at this time the powerful individual combat capability of the Mongolian army has been fully demonstrated. These Xixia troops have never experienced war at all, and they are not at all the opponents of the Mongolian army that rushed up.

On the court hall of the Xixia Kingdom, a group of ministers knelt in front of Li Qianshun.

"Your Majesty, it's better to retreat. If you don't leave at this time, it may be too late." A group of courtiers advised Li Qianshun.

Li Qianshun couldn't help but smile wryly, the capital city has been breached, isn't this equivalent to the subjugation of the country?
