Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 591 Who dares to disobey and commit suicide!
Xiazhou City.It is located in the triangular platform formed by the Hongliu River, Nalin River and Wuding River. It faces the river on both sides, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.This city founded by Helianbobo has a history of 700 years today.

Over the past 700 years, the situation has changed, and the Huns, who were once prominent at that time, have long been submerged in the waves of history, leaving behind this solid fortress.It is still the strongest city in the Yellow River Loop, representing the highest level of urban defense in the cold weapon era.

But now this important town of the Xixia Kingdom has changed the banner of the Great King on the top of the city, and a military flag with the word Tian character has replaced the banner of the Xixia Army.

The sound of fighting in the city was still there, and Tian Hu's army who had broken through the outer gate of Xiazhou only focused on clearing out the resistance forces in the outer city, instead of immediately attacking the inner city.As long as the Xixia soldiers in the inner city did not take the initiative to attack, Tian Hu would not bother to pay attention to them at this moment.

Before he entered the Xixia area, he got a very detailed map of Xixia from the Liangshan army. The symbols representing iron smelting made Tian Hu's eyes turn red.

During these days, he had suffered enough from being controlled by others, and one of the reasons why he was controlled by others was the replenishment of soldiers and armor.After enriching myself with some knowledge about Xixia, I became more aware of the importance of Xiazhou City to Xixia.

If you seize this place, you will have the fertile soil in the middle reaches of the Wuding River, and then you will have the iron smelting business. To put it bluntly, Tian Hu already has the slightest background to dominate one side.

Therefore, he had the time and patience to slowly deal with the remaining Xixia soldiers who had fled into the inner city.

Is Xiazhou, formerly known as Tongwan City, the capital of Helianbobo? Since it is the capital, how come there are no inner and outer cities?It’s just that the inner city area here is smaller.And because in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, this place was destroyed and abandoned by Tokyo.Because of Zhao's idea of ​​"eliminating branches and reducing vines" in the early days of the founding of the country.It's just like the "One Country, One City Order" issued by Japan's Tokugawa Turtle after seizing power.Destroy strong local cities and dangerous passes all over the world.The destruction of Taiyuan City is a strong proof, and Tongwan City is even more so.

At the head of the inner city, Wei Ming Qu Huai, who escaped with difficulty on the battlefield of Yongle City, was looking at the Xixia soldiers and Ding Zhuang who were gradually wiped out below the city, and let out a painful roar.

But his old partner by his side, Li Heda, the commander of Xiazhou, was not sad because of this. On the contrary, he was more happy to see this Han army that suddenly appeared, and now it is going all out to strangle the resistance forces in the outer city, for the sake of good. He sticks to the inner city to rectify the remnants to gain time.

And with the current strength of the inner city, it is wishful thinking to counterattack the Han army.Still stick to it and wait for help, and wait until His Royal Highness Prince Jin wipes out the lifeless Liangshan bandit cavalry, and the army returns to Xiazhou. At that time, he will cooperate with the inside and outside, and he will be able to kill all the Han people in the outer city in one fell swoop.

Therefore, he said nothing in response to Wei Ming Quhuai's anger and words.Only when Weiming Quhuai calmed down did he say: "The morale in the city is fluctuating, the morale of the army is unstable, and many of the soldiers' weapons are broken. At this time, if the Han army attacks with all its strength, it may be difficult to resist."

Wei Ming Qu Huai's blood was surging in his chest, and he immediately disagreed.Li Heda was not annoyed, so he asked him: "In your opinion, what should we do?"

"It's better to fight bloody battles out of the city! So that the Han dogs know that I know that in the high country, there are only warriors who die with their heads cut off, and there are no cowards who bow their knees." Wei Ming Qu Huai raised his arms and shouted.He said this very loudly, many soldiers on the top of the city heard it, and for a while, there were many followers, and voices calling for battle were everywhere.Gai was already furious because these people watched the Xixia soldiers in the outer city and Ding Yong who resisted being strangled by Tian Hu's army one by one.

For them, today's Han people are the source of their sins, and they wish they could get rid of them quickly.

They had just fled back to Xiazhou from Hengshan that day, when a cavalry from the Liangshan bandits came over, it was Zhenghuangqi led by Xuan Zan.

They captured Shenduiyi, but were unable to enter Keshizhou because the Xixia people were already alert. Later, Xuanzan led them into Xiazhou.The military front was directed at iron smelting.Naturally, Li Heda couldn't just watch indifferently. In the iron smelting business, Xuanzan led more than 4000 Khitan cavalry to fight against more than [-] infantry and cavalry horses that Li Heda had urgently raised, and won the battle.

At this point, the gate of Xiazhou City was closed.It wasn't until Brother Li Cha heard the news that he hurriedly assembled a part of the horse army and galloped towards them, only then did the siege of Xiazhou be resolved.

But when Brother Li Cha arrived, Zhenghuang Qi had already ruined the surrounding area of ​​Xiazhou.Enraged, Li Cha immediately led the cavalry to pursue Zhenghuangqi.

Outnumbered and outnumbered, Xuan Zan naturally would not choose to confront Brother Li Cha.The two have been tossing around in the boundary of Xiazhou for quite a while.Finally, Xuanzan led Zhenghuangqi and ran to Dijinze.

Dijinze is located in the middle of the Hetao Plain, separated from the south by a desert.If you want to invade Dijinze, in addition to having sufficient supplies, you also need people who are familiar with the geography.Otherwise, it is very easy to get lost and trapped in the desert.

At the beginning of Zhao and Song Dynasties, the four states of Dingnan were second only to the sixteen states of Yanyun in Song Taizu's goal.Through both soft and hard measures, Li Jipeng was forced to surrender by Song Taizong.Li Jiqian, the younger brother of Li Jipeng's family, refused to accept it, and led his people to flee to Dijinze.Li Jiqian took this as a base and used the desert as a shield to give full play to the mobility of the cavalry and threaten the Song army by constantly harassing the communication lines.It took decades and three generations of efforts to establish Xixia by the time of Li Yuanhao.

After the establishment of Xixia, the strategically important place between Song and Xia moved to Hengshan, and Dijinze suddenly became less important.It has become an obstacle to isolate the three prefectures of Linfeng and the threat of soldiers and horses of Jingdao in western Liaoning.

Therefore, this Jinze is also a mysterious area in the eyes of most Xixia people.There are not many party members nomadic here.

Now that Xuan Zan led people in, Brother Li Cha followed without hesitation.

Xiazhou City breathed a sigh of relief, as the iron smelting business seemed to have to be reorganized.It was at this time that Tian Hu came to kill him.He gave Xiazhou City a heavy kick on the crumbling castle that had just survived the crisis.

After three days of resistance, Tian Hu's army also paid the price in blood, and only then did they capture the outer city.

The morale of the surviving Xixia soldiers in the inner city is naturally low, but they are all party members. In their eyes, this Xiazhou is the land where their ancestors thrived for generations. How can we not be angry that the Han people with a weak image ravaged their compatriots, trampled on their land, burned, killed and looted?
These people shouted that they would rather die than surrender. None of them, including Wei Ming Qu Huai, saw the shock and ridicule flashing in Li Heda's eyes.This is a bunch of fools.Why die when you can live?They still have a slight chance of turning defeat into victory, so why should they take the initiative to seek death?

Li Heda was unmoved and carefully observed the Han troops outside the city. He said casually: "Loyalty is commendable, but it is not worth it. Until there is no other way, it is better not to think about a desperate fight. Be steady and steady, and guard the inside. The city was number one just now.”

But how easy is it to hold the inner city?How many people does he have in total?
Four days later, the last moment of Xiazhou Xixia Army arrived.Li Heda did not persist until Brother Li Cha's return.

Li Heda gritted his teeth, grabbed Wei Ming Qu Huai, and said: "It's impossible to do anything. If you can leave, leave. When the Jin King's army comes back, chop off the heads of these thieves. Don't forget to build a tomb for your brother." !" Li Heda's spirit is very determined.He came from a different background, and now he is a general in the Xixia army, and Wu is also a pillar of Yelu Nanxian's mother and son in Xixia.

Therefore, he could neither surrender nor escape.He wants to keep up this face.This represents the dignity of Yelu Nanxian mother and son, and also represents the dignity of Khitan.

Wei's name, Qu Huai, was born in the Xixia clan, and he knew the status of Yelu Nanxian's mother and son in Xixia.Then Li Ganshun really loved this mother and son, and Li Renai, the 11-year-old crown prince, was not stupid.If Daliao is still the original Daliao, Wei Ming Qu Huai can imagine that Li Qianshun will inevitably have a Xixia king Lishi with Khitan blood in a hundred years.

This is not unusual.On the contrary, in the eyes of many Xixia nobles, this is still a magic weapon for Xixia to maintain its close relationship with the Liao Kingdom.

But things have changed in recent years.On the battlefield of Liao and Jin, the incompetent performance of the Khitan army made Daliao's deterrent power in Xixia gradually weakened, and the situation of Yerunanxian mother and son also became slightly more delicate.

Losing the support of Li Heda, a strong general in the army, is naturally the loss of the mother and son.But if Li Heda died to defend the city, and also 'saved' the son of the royal family, Wei Ming Qu Huai, then the situation is different.There is no guarantee that Yelu Nanxian's mother and son will be in a better situation.

Instead of looking at Wei Ming Qu Huai, Li Heda took a deep breath and held the steel knife in his hand.Surrounded by the surviving Xixia soldiers, there are only three to four hundred people left, and all of them add up to a thousand people, and they are all at the end of their strength.Persevering until now, he no longer knows what words to use to motivate his subordinates, he has said almost everything he can say...

And not far from the city gate, Tian Hu, dressed in Wen Shanjia, sat on the back of a horse, staring intently at the inner city.Days of hard work finally paid off.

If the inner city is captured again, they will really have a place to stay.Even if the party members immediately rectify their troops and horses to attack and kill, Tian Hu's army is not strong enough, but they only need to rest assured to defend the city.Even if the Xixia people surrounded the city, and there were soldiers and food in the city, they would not be afraid of them.What's more, they still have to worry about whether the Liangshan Army, which can send troops to help at any time, will intervene horizontally.

Tian Hu stroked his beard, thinking that he might be able to enter the inner city today.He said happily: "Pass down the order. After breaking into the city, the saber will not be sealed for three days."Using the blood of party members to soothe the morale of the army also stimulates and inspires the morale of the army.It's not just for the inner city.

As soon as this order was conveyed, the morale of Tian Hujun suddenly rose a lot.The soldiers who were fighting showed signs of not fearing life and death.

The sound of fierce fighting resounded like a sky-shattering sound, and the city gate was opened.Bian Xiang, a general of Tian Hu's army, stepped on his stirrups and got up to take a look, his face showing infinite joy.He shouted: "Kill, kill all the party thieves." Just go in with soldiers and horses.

"Who dares to disobey and commit suicide! Let this group of Western thieves know who is the lord of Xiazhou!"

And it was almost at the same time, in the depths of Dijinze, a chasing battle that had lasted for many days, and it was time to decide the winner...
