That night, everything was calm. Liangshan's cavalry was only stationed outside Shangjing City, and they did not attack the city at all.
The same was true on the second and third days. Liangshan's 30,000 cavalry were constantly patrolling and moving around the city, but no one came to attack the city.
Seeing the performance of Liangshan soldiers, Chage, the king of Xixia Jin, became more and more relaxed. He became more and more sure of his thoughts and concluded that Liangshan was bluffing.
But on the afternoon of the fourth day, an army suddenly appeared on the east grassland. It seemed to be very large, as if there were 40,000 to 50,000 people!
Brother Cha got the news immediately. He immediately led a group of Xixia generals to the city wall and carefully looked at the newly arrived Liangshan soldiers and horses below. These newcomers were all infantry, and it seemed that their morale was very high. The team's
The order is also very good. Many Liangshan soldiers and horses are stationed south of Shangjing. From the Liangshan army, loud military songs can be heard continuously.
"Isn't Liangshan trying its best to deal with the Jurchen Emperor? Why are so many troops coming now?" Cha Ge frowned.
"This..." The generals beside him were unable to answer his question, and they were extremely confused in their hearts.
"Could Liangshan really defeat the Jurchen Emperor? Have they already eliminated the Jurchen Emperor?" Cha Ge asked again.
"This..." The general next to him also felt that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, there are only 40,000 to 50,000 infantrymen in Liangshan below. Including the previous cavalry, there are only 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers. We have 30,000 elite soldiers here, plus the new Jurchen auxiliary troops who surrendered to us, we now have 50,000 soldiers and horses.
!This capital city is so tall, our fifty thousand soldiers and horses are enough to defend this place!" said the veteran general among the Xixia people.
"This is the only way!" Brother Cha nodded and said.
It was already dusk, and it was time to eat. Brother Cha was going to take these generals to eat first, and then discuss the matter of dealing with Liangshan. At this time, an exclamation suddenly came from the city wall. It turned out that at this time
, another army appeared from the east, that army was also infantry, and its number actually reached 40,000 to 50,000 people!
"How come there are still soldiers and horses coming from Liangshan? Oh my god! There are already more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. Do they really not care about the Jurchens?" Brother Cha stood there blankly, in disbelief.
The Xixia generals next to him had an unknown feeling in their hearts.
****
Yang Xiong's Third Army arrived in the afternoon, and Yang Zhi's First Army arrived in the evening. Yang Xiong already knew what had happened in Shangjing City, but Yang Zhi was a little confused. He first ordered the soldiers to station down, and then
Walking towards Yang Xiong's military camp, Yue Fei is also here at this moment.
"General Yue, what happened? Why haven't you entered Shangjing City now?" Yang Zhidao.
"When we were fighting against the Jurchens, the Xixia people took advantage. They actually secretly occupied the upper capital!" Yue Fei said.
"People from Xixia? Have they eaten the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard?" Yang Zhi said in disbelief.
"Damn it!" Yang Xiong cursed there.
"The Xixia people dare to rob our things in Liangshan. They are really impatient! All my men are cavalry. They don't have many siege weapons in their hands. Although they can capture the upper capital, they will inevitably be damaged, so
I'm waiting for your arrival! Tell me, do you need to conquer the upper capital tonight?" Yue Fei said.
"That's exactly what it should be!" Yang Xiong gritted his teeth and said.
"I'll notify the army right away!" Yang Zhi nodded.
An hour later, the Liangshan soldiers and horses launched a siege! Everyone in the Liangshan army was extremely angry. They had worked so hard to defeat the Jurchens. The capital city in front of them was supposed to be theirs, but now the Xixia people actually intervened.
How could they accept a kick?
Liangshan doesn't have much strategy at all, it's just to attack hard, use tyrannical strength and arrogant methods to break through the upper capital and enter it!
First, the artillery was set up. Because they were marching, the number of artillery in Yang Xiong and Yang Zhi's army was limited, but after all, the artillery was a powerful siege weapon. With the roaring sound, the walls of the upper capital were constantly collapsing!
Then the crossbowmen of the two armies fired upwards, and countless divine arm bows shot upwards. In an instant, thousands of Xixia soldiers died there!
The Xixia soldiers were stunned at this moment. First of all, they did not expect that the Liangshan army attacked the city so fast! After almost 200 years, the Xixia people have also fallen into depravity. When the Xixia and Song Dynasty went to war, every night,
The armies of both sides will have a tacit understanding to start a truce with each other! Liangshan is a Han people, and many Xixia soldiers thought that Liangshan was the same as the Song Dynasty. They were not prepared at all. Many of their soldiers were dozing in the dark night and did not want to fight at all.
Secondly, the weapons of the Liangshan army were too powerful. Although the artillery was small artillery used in marches and had limited lethality, the deterrent effect it brought was extraordinary. Countless Xixia soldiers had numb hands and feet, and some even escaped from the city wall.
Go down! As for the back
The Divine Arm Bow is a sharp weapon for the Han people. In the past, when they fought against the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty had at most a few thousand Divine Arm Archers, which was quite good. However, in the armies of Yang Xiong and Yang Zhi, the number of Divine Arm Bows was very high.
There are more than 20,000, and this is the first time they have encountered so many divine arm bows.
The third is that the quality of the Liangshan soldiers far exceeds that of the Xixia soldiers. The Xixia army has countless defensive equipment on the city wall, but the Liangshan soldiers are not afraid of death and move forward one after another. The crossbowmen know that the weapons above may knock them down.
body, but no one stepped back!
"All artillery fire in one direction! Make a gap first!" Yang Xiong said fiercely.
The sound of the artillery became louder, and after an unknown amount of time, a gap finally appeared on the city wall ahead!
"Come with me!" Yang Xiong shouted, and he led his soldiers towards the gap.
There are some warriors among the Xixia soldiers. Although the gap has been opened at this moment, arrows are still raining down. On the one hand, Liangshan's crossbowmen are suppressing the other side's crossbowmen. On the other hand, Yang Xiong and others are moving towards them without hesitation.
Rush up!
The soldiers above fell down, and those behind continued to rush forward. The soldiers all knew that they might die here, but no one took it to heart! On the battlefield, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. Only those who are not afraid of death can defeat the enemy!
There were scenes like this everywhere on countless ladders. Half a quarter of an hour later, Yang Xiong rushed to the city wall. He shouted loudly and swung the long knife in his hand. Countless Xixia soldiers fell into a pool of blood!
Then, another Liangshan soldier rushed up, and gradually, more and more Liangshan soldiers rushed up to the city wall!
The Liangshan soldiers formed small groups one by one, and they rushed forward with all their strength! Every Liangshan soldier did not care about his own safety. They even used a strategy of dying with the enemy. They all knew that the longer they stayed on the city wall, the longer they would stay.
The longer, the more comrades will rush up below, and the sooner this battle will be over!
There were shouts of killing, and the Xixia soldiers were being slaughtered continuously. Their personal qualities were really different from those of the Liangshan soldiers. Once the Liangshan soldiers rushed forward, they would not be able to resist them.
Brother Cha looked at everything in front of him in horror. He couldn't believe it. He didn't understand why the Xixia army seemed so "weak"? You know, the soldiers he brought this time were all elite soldiers from Xixia. They were to defend the city.
It has a huge advantage over siege, but in just one hour, Shangjing City was about to be captured by Liangshan!
Before, Yue Fei said that he would conquer Shangjing within ten days. He thought that Yue Fei was too arrogant. But now he realized that Yue Fei was not arrogant, but looked down on them and did not take them seriously. The so-called within ten days, that was still
It is very "modest" to say that with the strength of Liangshan's troops, it would not take even one day to defeat the capital city.
His face was pale and his body was shaking a little, as was the Xixia general next to him.
"Your Majesty, how could Liangshan's army be so powerful?" the veteran general asked.
"We have to leave here immediately!" Brother Cha gritted his teeth and said.
"But, Liangshan soldiers and horses have already occupied the south and east city gates!" said a Xixia general.
"Let's go out through the north gate!" Brother Cha said.
He led dozens of soldiers and ran towards the north gate. When he got there, he ordered the soldiers to open the city gate, and then fled with these dozens of soldiers. However, not long after he walked out, suddenly something happened in the distance.
More than 10,000 Liangshan cavalry appeared, led by Zhang Xian!
Zhang Xian laughed loudly and led his troops to rush over.
