Chapter 244 Breaking Hongzhou 1
The night is getting darker and deeper, and the officials and gentry in the Hongzhou Prefecture Office have gradually dispersed!
At this moment, only Ren Dejing, Li Siyi and the others were left here. Ren Dejing said, "General Li, you will live in the government office today! I have someone ready the room for you!"
Not only did he prepare the room, he also prepared several beautiful concubines, of course, these don't need to be put on the surface!
"I want to go to the city wall to take a look!" Li Siyi said.
"Ah! It's so late!" Ren Dejing was surprised.
"I just arrived in Hongzhou today and was about to check the defense situation in Hongzhou City! Moreover, I was too bored to stay here just now. Now I want to go out and relax!" Li Siyi said.
"In this way, I'll accompany the general to the city wall to take a look!" Ren Dejing had no choice but to say.
"Okay!" Li Siyi nodded.
At that moment, Ren Dejing, Li Siyi led dozens of guards to the outside of the government office. At this moment, the city was already quiet, and most of the people were already asleep! It was still snowing heavily in the sky. Not long after walking, the two of them had already "white hair" on their heads!
When they arrived on the city wall, the cold wind was howling, Ren Dejing couldn't help but shrink his neck, while Li Siyi suddenly took off his robe, as if he was enjoying the cold wind!
The two of them came to the city wall, and many Xixia soldiers had to come to the city wall! These Xixia soldiers were originally guarding the city wall, but they were afraid of the cold and hid in their house early in the night! Now that the Lord is coming, they have to come out!
"General Li, intelligence came from the front, saying that a large army of Song people appeared in the Helanyuan area!" Ren Dejing said.
"The army of the Song people? Helanyuan? How is this possible?" Li Siyi shook his head!
"Sir! You must be careful!" Ren Dejing said.
"Now the little emperor in Guanshan is facing two threats, and he can't take care of himself! Do you think he should send a large army north at this time?" Li Siyi sneered.
"This... probably won't!" Ren Dejing said.
Although Ren Dejing is a famous treacherous minister in history, his wisdom is extraordinary! After thinking about it this way, he also felt that it was impossible and he felt relieved immediately!
"This is really a painting!" Li Siyi looked into the distance, and there was a vast snow field in the distance, and there was a vast openness around him. He sighed suddenly!
"Yes! It's like a painting! The Song people have lyrics, and the country is like a painting. How many heroes are there at the moment! Today, I don't know who is a hero!" Ren Dejing said.
"Juzhen Wanyan Zonghan, this is a hero! He followed the Jurchen Taizu Wanyan Aguda for ten years to fight and destroy the Daliao! After that, he led a 100,000 army south to occupy the Central Plains, captured two Han emperors, and made as great contributions as heaven! If such a person is not a hero, there would be no hero in the world! Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Loushi and others are also heroes among the Jurchens! As for the Han people, I can't see a hero now! Han people are the most cowardly race in the world after all! They have a population of billions, they have countless gold and silver, and they have powerful weapons like the Divine Arm Bow, but they are vulnerable! The Han people are like a large piece of fat meat. The Khitans can bite their body, the Jurchens can bite their body, and our Party Xiang people can naturally bite their body!" Li Siyi laughed.
"The general said it well!" Ren Dejing nodded.
"Hmph! It's a pity that my Xixia is not the same as before! When my Xixia just rose, I was so brave that I was unparalleled in the world! Later, Your Majesty implemented the Han system and promoted the Confucian culture of the Han people. Xixia was also worse than the previous generation! But no matter what, it was much better than the Han people! I had a grand wish in my heart!" Li Siyi said suddenly.
"I wonder what kind of volunteer it is?" Ren Dejing said.
"I want to lead the Xixia army to occupy the entire Guanshan, Hanzhong, Sichuan and Shu, and establish unparalleled achievements! Even, our Xixia can occupy the entire world! In the future, the world will be the world of our Party Xiang people! The Khitans have only a population of millions, but they can dominate the north for more than a hundred years and be the largest country in the world! The Jurchens have only a population of hundreds of thousands, but they have occupied the Central Plains and forced the Han people to retreat to Jiangnan! The Xiang people in our Party are not under the Khitans, so why can't they oppress the Han people and why can't they occupy the world?" Li Siyi said.
"What the general said is! If our party is united, it is not impossible to occupy the world!" Ren Dejing said.
"I look forward to that day in my heart! I hope Your Majesty will let us send troops soon!" Li Siyi might have been drinking today, and said excitedly in his heart!
They stayed here for a long time before leaving the city wall!
*******
At this moment, more than ten miles south of Hongzhou City, 100,000 Shaanxi-Northern Imperial Guards have arrived!
It was already midnight, and Li Xianzhong had already summoned all the commanders of each army!
"A thousand warriors were drawn from each army, and a total of ten thousand warriors were drawn to form a suicide army! I personally led the army to launch an attack from the south, and General Yanxian led the suicide army to launch an attack from the north when necessary! Within one night, I will conquer Hongzhou and present Hongzhou city to Your Majesty!" Li Xianzhong said.
During the day, countless spies have already reconnaissed the situation in Hongzhou City. At this moment, Li Xianzhong has arranged specific combat plans based on the situation in Hongzhou City! There are also general staff in the military headquarters, which are the most effective combat plans formulated by the general staff in the shortest time. Li Xianzhong has also recognized it! Now he conveys these attack plans!
"When fighting, everyone moves forward, no one can retreat! This time it is a national war, which concerns the fate of our great Song Dynasty! Whoever falls behind is the country's sinner, I, Li Xianzhong, will never let go of the backward people! There will be death for a hundred years in life. If you die for the country, you will die as your place. If you are greedy for life and fear death, you will be a sinner of the nation and despise it for all generations! Do you understand this truth?" Li Xianzhongli shouted.
"The last general will naturally understand!" The generals stood up one after another and said in unison.
"Very good! Get ready to attack the city!" Li Xianzhong said immediately.
The 100,000 Shaanxi-Northern Imperial Guards began to move slowly!
In the snowy weather, under the reflection of the snow light, countless figures can be seen heading towards Hongzhou City! This is an extremely terrifying scene on the snow field!
Although the combat power of the Xixia people was average, they were much stronger than that of the Song army in the late Northern Song Dynasty. At least they still had some soldiers guarding the city walls! Someone noticed this extremely shocking scene!
A Xixia soldier was already shouting wildly: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! All are up! Get up quickly!"
Several other Xixia soldiers had found the war drum and started beating it wildly!
"What happened?"
"Enemy attack! It's an enemy attack!"
"What kind of enemy attack will be here?"
Thirty thousand Xixia soldiers in Hongzhou City got up one after another. They couldn't believe it. I wonder who dared to attack them at this time?
"What happened?" Li Siyi was already asleep, but was awakened by the sound of the war drum. He put on his clothes, picked up his sword, and came outside!
"General, big things are not good! The enemy attacks!" a soldier said loudly.
"What? The enemy attack? Where is the enemy?" Li Siyi hurriedly said.
"I don't know!" said the soldier.
Li Siyi was shocked, and he hurriedly led a group of guards toward the city wall!
When he arrived on the city wall, the Shaanxi imperial guards had already begun to attack the city!
The soldiers of the First Army had already set up a ladder and climbed upwards! Then the Second Army and the Third Army arrived one after another!
"It's a Song people! Oh my God! So many Song people! How is this possible? Hurry up and resist immediately!" Li Siyi said in shock.
"You are Han people, don't be afraid! They have extremely weak combat power! When the Western Army was there, they could still compete with us! But now the Western Army no longer exists, don't be afraid of them!" A Xixia general next to him said loudly.
"Yes! Don't be afraid of them! They are just Han people!" More and more Xixia generals shouted!
More than 100,000 imperial guards in northern Shaanxi crawled towards the city wall in front! Their comrades fell to the ground, and they stepped forward on their comrades' bodies! All the soldiers rushed forward bravely, and no one was behind! Many people were still crawling up even with scars!
After a while, the Xixia soldiers on the city wall finally brought huge rocks and wood-defying weapons, and Li Siyi breathed a little relieved!
This Hongzhou City is an important town on the southern border of Xixia. The city wall is extremely high and thick, and there are a lot of supplies to defend the city! The military camp is also very close to the city wall. In a short time, almost all the Xixia soldiers came to the city wall! If nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to defend this city!
The Song army had already climbed onto the city wall, and the soldiers of Xixia immediately resisted. They wanted to kill these Song army or push down the city wall!
However, the combat effectiveness of the Song army was beyond their imagination. In their impression, the combat effectiveness of the Song army was not as good as theirs! But today, a Song army climbed onto the city wall and could almost fight against three or even more Xixia soldiers! Moreover, even if the Song army was about to die, its intestines were flowing out, and they were still trying their best to resist. There was still a frightening crazy fighting spirit in their eyes!
Li Siyi was getting more and more shocked, and he couldn't believe it!
"Is this really a Song people? When the Jurchens invaded Xixia, the Jurchens were just so brave! Are they Han people dressed in Jurchens? But their dress was so different from the Jurchens!" Li Siyi said secretly.
Li Xianzhong was standing on the high ground in the distance. He was judging the form of the battlefield, but his face also showed a surprised expression: "Why are the people of Xixia so weak? They are too far from our Song army! I was originally prepared for 10,000 suicide troops and prepared to break through the north, but now it seems that even without 10,000 suicide troops, can capture Hongzhou City! Of course, if that happens, the casualties will be a bit serious!"
