Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

However, the war horses whined suddenly, and in the process of decelerating suddenly, their bodies fell to the ground, and the cavalry on them were thrown out.

Chapter 1025 Xiazhou Rebellion (Part [-])

The horses in the front row collapsed and fell to the ground, and the horses behind quickly bypassed and continued to charge forward.

The green smoke dispersed, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder.

The iron cannon flew across the sky, and some of them hit the Xixia people in the chest. Their bodies floated out like dandelions, turned around in the air, and twisted on the hillside.

More hit the withered grass on the hill, kicking up patches of mud and rolling up streaks of dust, scaring the Xixia people into panic.

Bubazi is good at mountain warfare. They have excellent physical strength and endurance. They just waited for the cavalry to attack the Song army's wings before launching a thunderous attack on the Song army's formation.

It was more than 200 meters away from the Song Army. It was originally believed that the Song Army's weapons would not be able to hit here, but unexpectedly the blow was so terrible.

The Xixia army on the mountain panicked for a while.

At this time, some Song Army spearmen on the flank stretched out their spears, and the crossbowmen shot with arrows.

After the dense rain of arrows flew out, dozens of cavalrymen were shot down.

After shooting, the crossbowmen immediately evaded behind the infantry.

Those Xixia cavalry had entered within 50 meters and began to fight back with bows and arrows.

But when the cannon fired again, more horses were frightened, and even fell to the ground with limp legs, unwilling to stand up, and it was useless to let the cavalry control them.

The rest of the people wandered in place, whining endlessly.

The cavalry had originally come to harass a wave and leave quickly, but they didn't expect to fall into a quagmire here.

This distance is very dangerous.

When the target moves, it is very difficult to shoot. Once the target stops moving, the next wave of crossbowmen will jump out, basically directly covering the target with saturated shooting.

This wave of Xixia cavalry was beaten quite badly, and soon a hundred cavalry on each side were killed.

The rest didn't dare to continue to harass, so they turned around and ran away.

The threat from the two wings was basically lifted, Wei Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but take a bite of the chicken leg.

Ding Yan on the side asked in surprise, "Shangguan, where did you get the chicken legs?"

Wei Xiang quickly hid it, wiped his mouth and said, "I picked this up on the road just now!"

At this time, the forward was only more than one mile away from the main force of Xixia, and the armies of both sides were facing each other.

Under the call of the command flag, the guard cavalry on both wings began to dispatch.

Like two red-hot steel forks, they rushed towards both sides of the Xixia people's main force, and quickly rushed in, like cutting tofu, cutting the Xixia people's formation, and finally penetrated.

After the breakthrough, take a hundred riders as the basic unit, and continue the assault in a quick detour.

The screams and wailing of Xixia people are everywhere.

It is really easy for the armored cavalry to deal with the Xixia people whose armor rate is extremely low.

I saw them raising their knives and dropping their heads, their heads rolling.

By the time the striker and Xixia's striker faced each other, the Xixia's main force had already lost more than half of its attack power.

At this time, the forwards of the infantry of the Divine Guard, wearing armor and holding sharps, rushed forward like cutting cabbage and radishes, killing the Xixia people crying and howling.

"General Counselor Wei! General Counselor Wei!"

Wei Xiang, who was secretly nibbling on the leftover chicken legs, was startled when he heard Ding Yan's voice, and the chicken legs fell to the ground.

Ding Yan ran over and saw that there were actually three chicken legs on the ground.

Wei Xiang was startled, and said: "Look, I'm not wrong, this chicken leg was picked up on the ground!"

After speaking, he immediately picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth, one bite at a time, and finished all three bites.

Ding Yan: "..."

"What's the matter?" Wei Xiang's eyes widened and he puffed his cheeks and said angrily, "Say it quickly!"

"I... we won."

"Very good! Where's Yang Zheng?"

"Commander Yang is still chasing and killing the enemy." Ding Yan said, "Now that many Western Xia armies have been defeated, should we pursue them?"

"Chase! Hurry up!"

The horn of the whole army's charge sounded, and the Song army began to pursue the enemy mightily.

By evening, they had already reached the Xixia people's stronghold.

Wei Xiang started to hide and eat chicken legs again.

At this time, the Xixia people didn't know at all that the front in the north of Xiazhou had been breached by the Song army.

This place goes directly south to Xiazhou, and you can go directly to Yuzhou through a detour.

The war situation has advanced to this point, and it is still moving forward according to the overall strategy reported by Zhang Jun.

Even the Xixia people are planning to transfer [-] reinforcements from Youzhou to Xiazhou.

Next, the Shenwei Army stationed in Anqingze and continued to attack the remaining troops of Xixia's collapse.

On the sixth day of September, Xiazhou.

Zhang Song reported the current total strength to Xiao Heda.

"The 3 people from Li Zhongbu dispatched from Youzhou have been arranged, but they complain a lot."

Xiao Heda asked, "What complaints do you have?"

"They want to enter the city." Zhang Song said.

"Going into the city?" Xiao Heda sneered, "Xiazhou City can't accommodate so many people!"

"Li Zhong's attitude is very tough. He said he would not let them enter the city, so he went to Li Shuai to complain."

"Let him sue!"

"Xiao Tongjun, don't be careless about this matter. Li Zhong is Li Yu's nephew, both of whom are from the royal family. We can't compare. If things get bigger, it will be bad for you."

Xiao Heda's face was a little ugly.

When Yelu Nanxian, the princess of the Liao Kingdom, married to Xixia, Xiao Heda was Yelu Nanxian's guard. After arriving in Xixia, her status was naturally very high.

However, the Liao Kingdom has already perished, and Yelu Nanxian heard that the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, and died of grief. The prince Li Renai also became ill because of his mother's death, and died soon.

Both backers died, and the biggest backer, the Liao Kingdom, also perished. Xiao Heda's position in Xixia was actually very embarrassing.

"Then let him in?"

"If you let Li Zhongbu in, I'm afraid the food and grass in the city will also be given priority to them."

"So, Li Zhong wants to replace me, the commander of Xiazhou?"

Zhang Song said: "Xiao Tongjun is from the Liao Kingdom after all, since the Queen's death..."

"I know what you said." Xiao Heda looked out the window, and suddenly asked Zhang Song, "If we surrender to Song Dynasty at this time, what do you do?"

Zhang Song was taken aback, and said: "Xiao Tongjun, this is a big matter..."

"Yeluyu saw that he had already surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Zhao Guan's family not only ignored the past, but also rewarded him generously and allowed him to resettle in the Song Dynasty. We were in Xixia and were guarded day and night. Now Li Zhong came to Xiazhou to rob me of military power. , you were single-handedly selected by me, once I lose power, do you think you will end well?"

"This..." Zhang Song was a little overwhelmed by Xiao Heda's bold idea.

"The Song Dynasty is richer and more powerful than Xixia. I am the Khitan royal family. If I surrender, I will definitely be rewarded. If you go with me, you will be prosperous and rich afterward. Wouldn't it be great?" Xiao Heda said, "Don't we want Stay in Xiazhou and watch Li Zhong suppress us?"

Zhang Song immediately said: "This subordinate is willing to go through fire and water for the command of the army!"

"Okay!" Xiao Heda said, "We have to think of a way to let the people below follow us to deal with Li Zhong."

"What about Song State?" Zhang Song asked, "How to get in touch with Song State?"

"I'll take care of this."

Chapter 1026 Why don't you go to Song Dynasty to enjoy the glory? (Second more)

Xiao Heda is actually very grateful to Li Qianshun for using him as Xiazhou's army commander.

But what Xiao Heda couldn't accept was that he received a secret report from the Xingqing Mansion that Li Qianshun wanted to become a vassal to the Kingdom of Jin and jointly attack the Song Dynasty.

Of course, Xiao Heda didn't have any feelings for Da Song, but he hated Jin Guo deeply.

The Kingdom of Jin destroyed the Kingdom of Liao, and Yelu Nanxian died of grief because of this.

In history, Xiao Heda's rebellion against Xixia was also due to this reason.

However, on this timeline, Xixia did not surrender to the Kingdom of Jin, but only united with the Kingdom of Jin to attack Anbei Mansion.

As for the secret report from the Xingqing Mansion, it was passed to Xiao Heda, why he went from alliance to proclaiming himself a minister is not known.

In short, Xiao Heda has been in contact with Da Song for a year.

He directly contacted Zhang Jun, who then relayed the news to the palace in Bianjing.

With Xiao Heda, the main general guarding Xiazhou, secretly communicating with the Song Dynasty, the Hengshan front will inevitably undergo important changes at critical moments.

In the afternoon, Zhang Song came back, and he said, "Tongjun, I have called everyone."

"Let them in!"

The following people came in one after another, these were officers from Xiazhou, half of them were Xiao Heda's own confidantes, Khitan people, who came to Xixia with him back then.

Xiao Heda said straight to the point: "Everyone, according to the latest information, Yinzhou and Shizhou are already 20 away from the Song army."

Everyone was startled for a moment, then looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to believe it.

One called Xiangli Hengye stood up and said: "Commander, haven't the Youzhou reinforcements arrived outside the city? I heard that Youzhou and Yanzhou still have [-] troops. This news should be reported to Li Shuai immediately, or directly to Xingzhou. Qing Mansion, let His Majesty decide!"

"It can't be defeated." Xiao Heda shook his head and said, "Yinzhou and Shizhou are only part of the troops. This time, the Song Dynasty will pour 50 troops!"

As soon as he said this, the scene was extremely quiet.

Xiao Heda's confidants had already received the news in advance, so naturally they didn't speak.

But if you want to go to a party general like Li Hengye, it is impossible to greet him privately in advance.

Xiangli Hengye immediately said: "I also have 50 strong soldiers in Daxia, guarding the Hengshan line of defense. He cannot conquer the Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and this time is the same. cut."

Xiao Heda didn't look at Li Hengye, he knew that this guy was someone Li Qianshun placed beside him.

"Li Zhong is outside the city right now, and he wants us to go out of the city to get Shizhou back. If we can't get it back, we will be beheaded for public display!"

When everyone heard this, they were silent for a moment, and a Khitan man named Xiao Guoshan stood up and said, "There are 20 Song troops in Shizhou and Yinzhou. Li Zhong told us to fight Shizhou. Isn't that telling us to die!"

Zhang Song immediately said: "This is to send us to die!"

Xiao Heda asked: "Then what do you say now?"

The crowd was silent.

Not long after, Xiang Li Hengye stood up again and said: "The general thinks that we can defend the city first, and at the same time send someone to Xingqing Mansion to report to His Majesty, and His Majesty will order it."

"No!" Zhang Song stood up and said, "It will take seven or eight days to go back and forth from here to Xingqing Mansion, and it will take several days for His Majesty to discuss with the ministers, and the frontline battle situation is changing rapidly."

"Then what do you say!" Xiang Li Yokono asked.

Zhang Song was silent for a while and said: "Li Zhong asked us to die, who of you present wants to die, stand up?"

The crowd was silent.

Who the hell is tired of living and wants to die?

Seeing this, Zhang Song said: "Since this is the case, to command the army, why don't we take the initiative to surrender to Song Dynasty."

As soon as he said this, it immediately aroused everyone's discussion.

Some people pretend to talk about it, while others really talk about it.

For example, Xiangli Hengye jumped up, and he scolded Zhang Song: "You dog thief! You dare to be disobedient to me, Daxia, come here, drag this person down and chop him up!"

It was quiet for a moment, but no one did anything.

Xiao Heda said: "Who wants to go to Shizhou to die?"

silence.

Xiao Heda said: "Since we don't want to go to Shizhou to die, what Zhang Song said is not unreasonable. The Great Song Dynasty is the kingdom of the heavens. Before Yeluyu saw that he surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, the Zhao officials gave him and his people generously. Now They enjoy the glory and wealth in the Song Dynasty, do you want to go to Shizhou to die instead of enjoying the glory in the Song Dynasty?"

Xiangli Hengye immediately understood that this was directed and acted by Xiao Heda himself.
