The city wall twisted a few times and then collapsed with a bang, and everyone on the battlefield was stunned.
Li Jun and others were afraid of the attack of the stone-throwing cart on the city wall, so they hid more than a mile away, each of which had severe eardrum pain.
Seeing the city wall collapsed and gravel splashed, Zhang Heng couldn't help but be anxious and hurriedly ordered his navy to drive to the moat with a large ship.
The flood control gate between the Tanglai Canal and the moat had been opened, and the fleet entered the moat without any obstacles. Zhang Heng drove the boat to find his brother Zhang Shun.
Seeing that the fleet had started to move, Chao Yong shook his head vigorously and shouted, "Li Kui killed all the people of Xixia, and the rest attacked the city."
The ears of the crowd were rumbling at this time, and they could not hear the order of General Chao Yong at all.
Chao Yong heard that there was no reaction behind him. He turned to see that everyone was rubbing his ears. He had to make a slash at Li Kui and Xiao Heda and others who had fallen to the ground, and then pointed at Zhang Qing, Ou Peng, Ma Lin, and Tao Zongwang at the collapsed city wall.
Everyone understood Chao Yong's gestures. Li Kui immediately took the people straight to Xiao Heda and others, while the rest followed Chao Yong to the moat.
Li Jun and others were sailing along the river, but they were faster than Chao Yong and others who were shaking and running away.
When I arrived at the place where the city wall collapsed, I found that the city wall was falling crookedly under the impact of gunpowder. The city wall, which was three meters high and ten meters thick, was still difficult for ordinary soldiers to climb.
Only the gunpowder exploded and a gap of more than one meter wide exploded. Li Jun directed two large ships to anchor side by side at the gap, and then connected them with wooden boards to form a simple floating bridge.
During this period, everyone was not attacked at all. Even if the people on the city wall were not dead, they were shocked to become fools. When the Xixia people on the city wall heard the earth-shaking sound, they saw that the city wall fell like paper, and they wanted to escape to the horizon. Who dared to come to this devilish land to die?
The floating bridge was set up. Li Jun immediately led the navy on the boat into the city and protected the gap.
Although there was no war horse transportation, Chao Yong quickly rushed into the city within a mile distance. Seeing Li Jun taking the navy guarding gap, he immediately shouted: "Follow me to capture Li Renai, the people of Xixia can no longer block this place."
Upon hearing this, the navy troops immediately followed Chao Yong to the palace with great joy.
If you are in Tokyo, you will not be able to see the palace at the gate of the city. One is because Tokyo is large, the other is that there are many towering buildings in the city, and many restaurants are taller than the buildings in the palace. However, Xingqing Mansion is mostly low-rise earthen houses, and the magnificent palace is the tallest building in the city, which can be seen from a distance.
The city was full of chaos. People who lived near the area were injured countless times, while people who were far away came out to inquire about the news. Soon, the news that the city wall was blown up and spread throughout the city from near to far.
There were people running around like headless flies on the streets. When they saw Daliang soldiers entering the city, some retreated to their homes, while others ran in the opposite direction.
In the Xixia Palace, after Xiao Heda went to war, Li Renai immediately reported to Yelu Nanxian.
The two of them listened to the soldiers constantly rewarding the situation outside the city in the palace. They heard dozens of generals who had been defeated in a row. When they were considering how to end the show, they heard a loud noise.
Li Renai stood up in shock and said, "What sound?"
Yelu Nanxian was almost scared and slid from the chair to the ground, and said hurriedly: "Let the guards check it out."
The guards who had been traveling back and forth between the palace and the south gate were either dead or injured near the city wall. A few people farther away saw the city wall twist and collapse, and hurriedly rolled to the palace to report the news.
The livestock raised in the palace were also screaming in surprise, as if the end of the world was.
The mother and son waited in the house for a while and couldn't help but feel impatient. Li Renai walked to the door without waiting for the palace servants to serve him, and went to open the door in person.
"Bang"
The door was suddenly pushed open and hit Li Renai.
"ah."
The weak Li Renai was knocked to the ground immediately.
Yelu Nanxian hurriedly went up to help his son, and at the same time said to the guards outside the door: "Take this slave who has hit the king and beheaded."
The guard who pushed the door was shocked when he saw the king knocking him down. He heard this and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The Queen Mother, forgive me for your crime. The big thing is wrong, and the city wall has collapsed."
When Yelu Nanxian heard that the city wall had collapsed, he didn't care about the crime of rushing to the emperor. He immediately panicked: "I didn't expect that Daliang's firearm was so powerful. Xingqing Mansion might not be able to defend it anymore. Let's go quickly."
Li Renai was also very frightened, but he stubbornly said: "Xingqing Mansion is my capital of Daxia, how can we give up easily? The Liang Kingdom has only 5,000 troops. In addition to the people who Xiao Heda brought out of the city, there are still more than 5,000 people in the city. In addition to the Dangxiang men in the city, they will definitely be able to repel the Liang Kingdom's troops. Summon the guards in the palace for me, and I will lead the troops to meet the enemy in person."
When the guard who reported the news heard this, he couldn't help but look sad and looked at Yelu Nanxian.
Yelu Nanxian felt very proud when she saw that her son, who had always been weak, was as strong as her father when he was alive. However, looking at the guards who reported the news, she had to face reality.
"The Liang State's soldiers, horses and firearms are so powerful that the city walls are blown down. The soldiers and civilians in the city will inevitably be panicked. How can they resist it? You are in the safety of Daxia? If there is any mistake, Daxia will be destroyed. Listen to the Queen of Mother, keep the green mountains there, and don't be afraid of burning fire. We will temporarily give Xingqing Prefecture to the Liang State people for the time being, and then summon troops to surround them."
Li Renai said with pain: "Since my ancestors established Xingqing Mansion, they have never been beaten to the city by the Han people. I just succeeded to the throne for two days and were beaten to the city by the Han people. If I give up the capital again, how can I be worthy of my ancestors?"
"If you are killed or captured by Liang people, you will be sorry for your ancestors."
Seeing that Li Renai was still hesitating, Yelu Nanxian said to the guards: "Help the king out of the palace."
Seeing the empress dowager's order, the guards also helped Li Renai walk out.
When Li Renai left the house, he saw the servants ramming everywhere in the palace, and he no longer insisted on defending the city.
"The king, all the war horses were frightened."
Yelu Nanxian hurriedly said, "Walk out of the city."
A group of guards hugged the front door of the palace where the two of them arrived. Yelu Nanxian had already seen a large group of soldiers in black clothes and black armor coming not far away.
Yelu Nanxian hurriedly said to the guard commander: "Take some people to block the Liang Kingdom's troops."
"yes"
Chao Yong had also seen the people coming out of the palace, and a group of guards in armor surrounded the gorgeously dressed Li Renai and Yelu Nanxian, which were very eye-catching.
"kill"
Chao Yong shouted violently and rushed into the group of Western Xia guards.
Wherever the eight-edged purple gold hammer goes, it will die when it hits, and it will be injured when it is rubbed. From time to time, someone is smashed into the air and hits a piece of it.
Before Li Renai and Yelu Nanxian escaped a few steps, Chao Yong had already arrived.
Several guards plucked up their courage and rushed up to stop Chao Yong.
"Ding Ding Ding"
With a few crisp sounds, Chao Yong swept away several people's weapons with one hammer, and then swept backwards, and then smashed several people to the ground.
Li Renai touched Chao Yong's eyes and immediately frightened to retreat. He might as well step on the hem of Yelu Nanxian's skirt beside him and immediately fell four feet towards the sky.
Chao Yong stepped forward and stepped on Li Renai, shouting, "You can't stop."
The guards who fought with Li Jun and others behind him did not dare to fight again when they saw the king being in the hands of the enemy. Some turned around and fled, while others surrendered.
Yelu Nanxian saw that Li Renai, who was weak, was stepped on by Chao Yong, and his face flushed. He hurriedly begged: "General, please spare me, the child is in poor health."
Although Li Renai felt that his chest was pressed by a big stone and had difficulty breathing, he struggled and said, "If my mother doesn't ask him, how can I ask a martial artist in Liang State?"
Chao Yong smiled and said, "You father and son are both good at Chinese, but you are much tougher than your father."
Li Renai grabbed Chao Yong's foot and gritted her teeth and said, "You killed my father?"
Chao Yong smiled and said, "It was not me who killed it, but I ordered it."
"I kill you."
Li Renai heard that the enemy who killed his father was right in front of him, and she couldn't help but struggle wildly. Unfortunately, his body was not as strong as his. Without struggling for a few times, he had difficulty breathing and rolled his eyes.
Seeing this, Yelu Nanxian didn't care about the dignity of the empress dowager and knelt down and said, "General, please spare my son."
Seeing that Li Renai was almost fainted, Chao Yong let go and said, "I will let the Han people who were caught by you take care of you."
"I am the general's order, Zhang Qing guards the south gate, Ou Peng guards the north gate, Ma Lin's troops guards the west gate, Tao Zongwang guards the east gate. The navy patrols along the streets, and the people in the city are not allowed to go out to the streets or gather, and those who violate the situation are killed." (To be continued)
