Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

"firearm!"

Queen Mother Xiaoliang gritted her teeth when she saw that the wall-cutting technique failed again. The sudden appearance of firearms from the Song Army caused heavy casualties to the Xia Army.

"Dig a tunnel!"

"Siege engine!"

"Ladder!"

"Trebuchet!"

"Night fight!"

The Xixia army tried all their tricks, used all their weapons, and even spared their lives to attack the city. However, even if they had the upper hand for a while and even stormed the city wall, they were defeated because of the thunderous firearms of the Song army.

It has been more than ten days, and Pingxia City is still as stable as Mount Tai.

"This is simply unreasonable!"

Seeing that Xia Jun was once again defeated by Zhentian Lei's attack, Queen Mother Xiaoliang was almost furious, and her nails directly scratched her beautiful face.

The Xixia army has never fought such a useless battle. They obviously have absolute strength, but they can't do anything against the small Pingxia City.

"Queen Mother, we can no longer attack Pingxia City. The divine arm crossbows and the Song army's firearms are too lethal. Our army has already suffered 30,000 casualties." Weiming Awu cried out.

Due to the special shape of the bastion, the power of the God's Arm Crossbow was undoubtedly displayed. In addition, the thunder's lethality was amazing, and the continuous siege caused heavy casualties to the Xixia soldiers.

"Thirty thousand soldiers!"

The Xixia generals looked embarrassed. The losses suffered by the Song army in defending the city were naturally minimal. They had been fighting the Song Dynasty for many years, and there had never been a precedent of losing 30,000 soldiers and horses in a siege.

But in the small Pingxia City, the Xixia army suffered a big loss.

In more than ten days, the Xia army not only failed to make any achievements, but also lost more than 30,000 soldiers. Even in the brutal siege of Yongle City, Xixia did not suffer such losses.

"We can't retreat! The Song Army cannot have endless firearms. Once the Song Army's firearms are exhausted, it will be the end of the Song Army." Liang Yibu objected directly.

Wei Ming A Wu angrily said: "Who knows how many firearms the Song Army has and how many divine arm crossbows and arrows it has. Thirty thousand of my Xixia men have died in battle. How many lives of soldiers have to be sacrificed to exhaust the Song Army's firearms? Four Ten thousand? Fifty thousand?"

Weiming Awu's series of rhetorical questions left Liang Yibu speechless.

"So what if we break through Pingxia City at all costs? With the financial resources of the Song Dynasty, we can build a Pingxia City in another twenty days, but it takes twenty years for Xixia men to grow up." Weiming Awu was heartbroken. road.

Other party generals also requested to withdraw their troops! Figure it out slowly.

Liang Yibu retorted: "You generals know that you feel sorry for our soldiers, but have you ever known that once we retreat, the Song Dynasty's annual coins will be completely abolished, and the grain production of Jingsai Army will be under the threat of Pingxia City. Complete desolation is a price you are willing to bear."

"Once we retreat, it means that Xixia is helpless against Pingxia City. In the future, all the cities in the Song Dynasty will be replaced by Pingxia City's fortification method, and Xixia will no longer have a way to suppress the Song Dynasty."

"At this moment, we are cooperating with the Liao State to intimidate the Song State. If our army retreats, what will we do to the Liao State?"

………………

Liang Yibu naturally opposed the withdrawal of troops. The reason why the Liang family was in the dictatorship of the mother party was because they relied on the military exploits of the Xia Dynasty to gain a firm foothold.

He often told his subordinates that the reason why he sent troops southward year after year was to make the Song Dynasty fear Xixia and to seek peace for the country.

But now the army has invaded Fuyan Road and only captured Jinming Village and killed three thousand Jinming Village soldiers. Now it has besieged Pingxia City and has not achieved any success.

Once the war fails, the military glory that the Liang family relies on for survival will be lost, which Liang Yibu cannot accept.

Facing Liang Yibu's series of rhetorical questions, the Dangxiang generals were silent. Obviously, the appearance of Pingxia City made the Xixia generals see the crisis.

Once the Song Dynasty replicates Pingxia City on the Song-Xia border, it will probably be more difficult to attack the Song Dynasty in the future.

Queen Mother Xiaoliang couldn't help but fell into a dilemma. One was the situation of the Liang family, and the other was the lives of the Xixia soldiers.

Renduo Baozhong said solemnly: "The Queen Mother, I have discovered another suspicious thing, that is, since our army besieged Pingxia City, no reinforcements from the Song Army have been found!"

Empress Dowager Xiaoliang couldn't help but shuddered. Now the Xixia army has besieged Pingxia City for more than ten days. It stands to reason that Jingyuan Road has already received the news. According to the attitude of the Song Army in the past, the Song Army has rushed to the rescue non-stop. But now However, Xixia's scouts did not find reinforcements from the Song army.

"Yes, it seems that the Song Army deliberately asked us to attack Pingxia City." Weiming Awu exclaimed.

Thinking of the weird structure of Pingxia City and the various powerful weapons, everyone in Xixia couldn't help but feel shocked. All the behaviors of the Song Army were strange.

Empress Dowager Xiaoliang looked around at her elder brother and the Xixia generals who were leading the battle, and said solemnly: "The Ai family understands that the battle in Pingxia City will definitely be dangerous. However, the battle in Pingxia City is related to the national destiny of the Song and Xia countries. If we win this battle, we will win. Xia can force the Song Dynasty to pay tribute. If this battle fails, the Xia Dynasty will completely lose the opportunity to suppress the Song Dynasty. I will give the generals three more days. If they cannot capture Pingxia City within three days, they will withdraw immediately!"

"I obey your orders!" A group of Xixia generals accepted the orders one after another.

At this moment, the war drums are beating.

The Xixia army once again attacked the city, withstood the attack of the divine arm crossbow, and attacked Pingxia City again.

"God's Arm Crossbow!"

"Gold juice! Leimu! Rolling stone!"

This time, the Pingxia City defenders did not stop holding back, and used traditional city defense methods and firearms.

At the same time, the Song Army also began to sparingly use Thunder Thunder! Unless there is an urgent military situation such as the Xia troops attacking the city wall, thunderbolts will be used to repel the Xia troops. Of course, this will also cause the Song army's casualties to surge.

Watching more and more injured soldiers being transported to the wounded barracks, Fan Zheng couldn't help but frown and directed a group of military doctors to provide emergency treatment.

"Master Supervisor, it is urgent for the Xia army to attack the city. Why don't you come to the city wall and command in person..." a Forbidden Army general said worriedly.

The Xixia army was attacking the city, but Fan Zheng, as the supervisor of the army, was doing his job as a doctor. This was too derelict in his duties.

"Don't worry, as long as the thunderbolts are not used up, Pingxia City cannot be destroyed! The two generals are veteran generals in the army, and Fan's step forward is just adding trouble!" Fan Zheng said lightly. As a doctor, Fan Zheng Naturally, we know our strengths, and hasty command is the source of disaster.

At that moment, Fan Zheng sprinkled a handful of gunpowder on the injured soldier's wound and ignited it directly. As the smell of gunpowder filled the air, the injured soldier screamed, and the bleeding wound gradually stopped.

"Next!" Fan Zheng waved his hand and said calmly.

"But what if the Thunderbolts run out?" The general of the Forbidden Army on the side listened to the sound of Thunderbolts roaring outside the city and worriedly asked. Now that the military situation is urgent, Thunderbolts are being consumed rapidly.

Fan Zheng sneered and said: "To exhaust Pingxia City's thunder, Xixia will have to pay at least 100,000 casualties of soldiers. Do you think Xixia is willing to pay such a huge price?"

When he customized the checkered iron shell, he had decided on this number. He did not believe that the military discipline of the Xixia soldiers was so iron-clad, and they still insisted on attacking the city with 100,000 casualties.

"One hundred thousand!" The Forbidden Army general couldn't help but open his mouth.

You must know that Pingxia City only has 20,000 soldiers. If the 20,000 defenders can exchange for 100,000 Xixia soldiers, even if Pingxia City is attacked, they will die well.
