() On the battlefield, when the drums advance, when the gold is heard, the gold is retreating.

That was under normal circumstances. At this moment, the drum sounds accompanied by the rain of arrows suddenly stopped, which indicates that the most cruel close-fitting fighting began.

Li Kui rushed to the front with his big feet, ran a few steps, threw away the shield in his hand, roared wildly, and rushed towards the Western Xia army with axe, and the Liangshan infantry behind him followed closely.

The Xixia infantry was not willing to be outdone. At the same time, they threw away the shield in their hands and raised their weapons to face the Liangshan soldiers.

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

As soon as they came into contact, the gap between soldiers immediately appeared. The Western Xia soldiers were cruel and brave enough, but they did not know the importance of coordinated combat. On the other hand, the Liangshan soldiers had a slight lack of courage, but they had extremely strong adaptability and coordination capabilities.

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

The bravest one was Li Kui. A pair of axes flew up and down, and they really died one after another. Under his leadership, the Liangshan infantry quickly broke through the first line of defense in Xixia and entered the Xixia formation.

Yue Fei led the army to stand behind and pressed the formation for Li Kui, while also observing the combat power of the Western Xia soldiers. So far, the combat capabilities of the Western Xia soldiers are still in his expectations.

However, Li Kui's courage was still somewhat beyond his expectations. After all, the two of them had not been in contact for a long time. In the past, they only heard about the Black Tornado. When they saw him, they were indeed well-known.

On the other side, Li Renai was also watching the battle on the wall of Xingqing Mansion. The jingling of the Liangshan infantry made him even more shocked. He had always thought that Liangshan firearms were powerful, but he did not expect that the soldiers were so brave.

If the five thousand infantry soldiers sent out the city to fight, they would probably have to explain it all, and their troops could not withstand the consumption now.

Li Renai immediately ordered the cavalry to attack and cover the infantry to retreat.

Yan Qing had been closely watching the movements of the Xixia army from behind. When the Western Xia cavalry had just started, he led the Liangshan Iron Cavalry to meet him.

A big melee made the corpse everywhere and blood flowed into a river. Finally, it ended with the sound of the head coaches on both sides. The soldiers on both sides were on guard against each other and slowly withdrew from the battle.

Neither side invested much force in this battle, and it was obvious that they were preserving their strength for the subsequent wars.

After Li Kui and others returned to the camp, Yue Fei praised him greatly and at the same time he wrote a merit to him. He asked Song Qing to reward him again.

After testing this a few times, Yue Fei changed his original idea and wanted to end the battle as soon as possible. After all, this place is still the territory of others. The longer the time is delayed, the more unfavorable it will be for him. At the same time, Hua Rong's men have arrived.

Nearly 300,000 troops in Liangshan have surrounded Xingqing Prefecture. On the other hand, Li Renai's side, due to Li Qianjing's previous rebellion, he had consumed too much of his strength. The leaders of various tribes saw that he was at the end of their journey and began to watch. So far, he has not been looking forward to reinforcements.

Yue Fei personally led an army of 300,000 to surround the city that was defended by 150,000 people. If he couldn't take it down, no one would have to say that he would go home to grow vegetables himself.

On a dark and windy night, more than 100 artillery pieces distributed around Xingqing Mansion quietly raised their heads. After a signal was issued in the direction of the Central Army camp, fired at the same time. Suddenly, a group of cannons fired together, and the sound shook the world. The shells slid through gorgeous arcs in the night sky, and then fell on the city walls, and exploded and blossomed in the military camp. It was a bit like setting off fireworks during the Chinese New Year, but this fireworks cost life.

Yue Fei's previous style of play almost made Li Renai forget that there were artillery in the Liangshan army, and he didn't expect that Yue Fei would choose to raid at night.

The reason why Yue Fei chose to attack at night was that he did not want the soldiers to suffer too much damage. The zhongyang guards of Xixia never dispatched, and the heavy armored cavalry did not appear.

Although Yue Fei was not afraid of the zhongyang guards in Xixia, the soldiers would inevitably suffer losses after the battle. Compared with the lives of the soldiers in Liangshan, the city walls of Xingqing Prefecture were nothing.

The artillery lasted for more than an hour. Looking at the Xixia military camp, it had turned into a sea of ​​fire, and the walls on both sides of the city gates behind also collapsed as a whole.

It is said that the power of gunpowder in the past was not so great at the beginning, and it would be impossible to achieve such an effect if we simply use iron ball-like shells.

How to say that the wisdom of the ancients was infinite? Song Qing only gave Cheng Laosi and others a glorious point, and the subsequent development was almost useless.

Whether it is artillery, landmines and other firearms, they are constantly being updated, so this result is achieved.

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

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

Yue Fei had always wanted to destroy as much of the living forces of Xixia outside the city as possible, in order to launch street fighting in different Xixia. However, Li Renai seemed to have seen through Yue Fei's plan, so he never sent out the real main force.

Li Renai's idea is also very simple, just to drag the war into the severe winter. In this case, Yue Fei had to start a full-scale attack.

Liangshan's people were twice that of Xixia, but Xixia was favored by familiar terrain and local warfare. Therefore, from the beginning, the war was very fierce.

Every time Liangshan soldiers occupy a street, they pay a heavy price, but overall, the balance of victory is still biased towards Liangshan.

Yue Fei's central army did not enter the city, and the horses scattered continuously reported to him the battle situation in the city.

War is cruel, and there is no kindness at that time, so although the casualties in the city are rising, Yue Fei did not frown.

The tenacity of the Xixia defenders caused great casualties to the Liangshan soldiers. However, because the Liangshan soldiers had already attacked the city, neither the Xixia guards nor the iron-armored cavalry could exert their power at all.

As the sky gradually brightened, the advantage of the Xixia defenders to fight against Liangshan's troops based on the familiar alleys gradually disappeared. With the continuous reinforcement of the Liangshan army outside the city, the outer city was finally completely occupied by Liangshan's troops.

Li Renai led the remaining zhongyang guards to defend the inner city and still resisted tenaciously.

In this tragic battle, Yue Fei did not fully invest his troops, and there were still tens of thousands of people outside the city gathering the fish that had escaped.

It was heard that Li Renai was still relying on the palace to resist. Yue Fei, who was so angry that he was full of anger because of the huge casualties, immediately mobilized the cannon without saying a word and limited Li Renai to a stick of incense to surrender, otherwise the jade and stone would be burned.

This time Li Renai was really scared, but she did not put down her weapons immediately, but sent someone to negotiate with Yue Fei. He was willing to surrender and accept all the conditions, but asked Yue Fei to withdraw his troops first.

Li Renai had never thought about escaping, but he never thought that the city stationed by the 100,000 army would be destroyed within such a period of time, so even if he wanted to run away, it would be too late. What he wanted to do now was to delay time as much as possible, and if possible, he would also want to talk about conditions with Liangshan.

The battle has reached this point. If you want to delay time with such childish means, you really think that Yue Fei is a fool.

Yue Fei had only one reply, that is, put down his weapons and surrender unconditionally, otherwise everything would be free from negotiations.

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

Then the treasury was sealed, the prisoners were pressed out of the city, and the prisoners were scattered. However, the officials' residences were not seized. After all, this place would still need to be managed by local officials in the future, so many of these officials should be retained after selection.

After all, people are still afraid of death. Li Renai can kill his father without hesitation, but he is very caring about his body. After thinking about it, he ordered people to raise a white flag and announce their surrender.

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

Li Renai's surrender marked the return of this separatist force, which had been entrenched in northwest China for more than a hundred years, to the embrace of Middle-earth.

From the beginning of the Battle of Hengshan to Li Renai's announcement of surrender, nearly 50,000 Liangshan warriors buried their bones on this land. Among them, more than 30,000 Liangshan soldiers died in a street battle in Xingping Prefecture, which shows the tragic war at that time.

Although Yue Fei's heart was very heavy, he did not make things difficult for Li Ren'ai. He ordered him to pack up the fine and soft cart, and then sent Yan Qing and Li Kui to escort back to Luoyang. The other ones were Tuoli and his five thousand cavalrymen. Yue Fei himself continued to stay here to clear away the remnants of the Western Xia.

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 news that Xixia was violated.

The good news came, and the city celebrated. Although the Liangshan army was invincible under the leadership of King Liang, it was obviously impossible to compare with the destruction of a country. This was a contribution to expanding territory!

Song Qing ordered people to spread the whole news to the world because this was no longer a blessing for him alone.

Some scholars and scholars all knew that as early as the Han and Tang Dynasties, Western Xia was an inalienable part of Middle Earth. Although it was forcibly cut off due to its weak national strength, it was still part of Middle Earth in their hearts.

So when Song Qing first issued a manifesto to attack Xixia, he was unanimously supported by the Shilins in Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

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

Because of the last battle to defeat Zhongdu, Song Qing did not reward Lin Chong and Han Shizhong, so this time he issued an order to reward Lin Chong as Duke of England, and Han Shizhong and Yue Fei were both generals of the cavalry. Of course, these are all empty titles and belong to the category of titles. When the war is over or when Song Qing goes further, they will continue to reward.

Yue Fei and Han Shizhong were both very capable in history, but they had to suffer too much at that time, and their weapons were not as good as they are now, so victory is natural.

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