Chapter 251 The main force of Xixia

In the Xingqing Palace, Xia Chongzong Li Ganshun was sleeping soundly!

Li Ganshun hugged an extremely beautiful woman in her arms. She looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. Her hair was black and long, and her eyelashes were also extremely beautiful. The eyes under the eyelashes were very lively! But at this moment, although Li Ganshun was asleep, she did not fall asleep! Her eyes were filled with tears and she cried softly!

She is no one else, Ren Dejing's daughter Ren Yuqin! Now she is the imperial concubine of Xixia. If history has not changed, she will become the queen of Xixia until the empress dowager! However, history has undergone great changes now, and her future is no longer known!

She already knew the news that Hongzhou City was conquered. Her father Ren Dejing was the prefect of Hongzhou. I am afraid that it is a great disaster now! She was sad in her heart, but the king wanted to take her to have fun, so she could only accompany the king! An hour ago, Li Ganshun just fell asleep, and she was sad about her father now!

"How is my father? I hope he can be safe and sound!" Ren Yuqin said secretly.

At this moment, a report suddenly came from outside the bedroom!

Ren Yuqin frowned slightly and responded, and a eunuch in his fifties walked into the bedroom!

Ren Yuqin did not cover up her beautiful body. In her heart, these eunuchs were neither male nor female, and there was no need to cover up in front of them!

"Your Majesty hasn't been asleep for long, what's wrong with you?" Ren Yuqin said.

"Empress Concubine, something is wrong! The Song army invaded and has now defeated the city of Xingqing Mansion! Therefore, I risked my life to see Your Majesty! Please wake up Your Majesty!" The eunuch knelt on the ground and said.

"What did you say? The Song army has already defeated the city of Xingqing Mansion?" Ren Yuqin said in disbelief.

"Yes! Now they have surrounded Xingqing Mansion!" The eunuch said anxiously.

"How is that possible?" Ren Yuqin said dazedly.

"Empress, please wake up Your Majesty!" said the eunuch.

Ren Yuqin also knew that the matter was of great importance, so she hurriedly pushed Xia Chongzong! However, Xia Chongzong was too tired last night and slept too well, and now he couldn't wake up at all! Ren Yuqin was anxious and suddenly pulled the brocade off. After a while, Xia Chongzong finally "awakened" by the cold!

"What happened?" Xia Chongzong felt dizzy and could not figure out the situation in the bedroom for a while. He yawned.

"Your Majesty, something is not good. The Song army has surrounded Xingqing Mansion!" The eunuch knelt down again and said.

"What did you say?" Xia Chongzong also had a very shocked expression on his face!

He had consumed too much effort on Ren Yuqin yesterday and was dizzy, but after hearing the news, he woke up immediately!

"Your Majesty, countless Song troops are under the city of Xingqing Prefecture!" said the eunuch.

"This is impossible! Hurry up! Take my clothes, I want to go out and have a look!" Xia Chongzong said loudly.

At the moment, the eunuch, Ren Yuqin hurriedly served Xia Chongzong to put on his clothes!

Xia Chongzong led a group of eunuchs and guards hurried towards the city wall of Xingqing Mansion!

The sky was getting brighter and Xia Chongzong came to the city wall. King Wei Renli, Prime Minister Wei Ming Anhui and others had also received the news. At this moment, they also hurried to the city wall! When they saw the scene below, everyone was stunned!

After a moment, Xia Chongzong's face changed drastically and his body shivered! He couldn't believe that the Song Dynasty's army had suddenly come! The news they had received before was that the Song Dynasty's army suddenly appeared here in Hongzhou and Yanzhou areas?

"Your Majesty?" Seeing that Xia Chongzong's face was pale, the King of Guards next to him hurriedly supported Xia Chongzong's body.

"How many Han people are there?" Xia Chongzong said.

"At least one hundred thousand!" Li Renli said.

Hearing this number, Xia Chongzong's face became paler! He even felt the blackness in front of him, and he was extremely frightened! He was the "wise ruler" in the history of Western Xia, but the reason why he won this title was mainly because of his excellent political means! When the Jurchens rose, he decisively surrendered to the Jurchens and obtained a large amount of land from the Liao Kingdom! In addition, his promotion of sinicization has brought the Western Xia culture and economy to the peak! However, he had no experience in military affairs! Faced with more than 100,000 troops, he could not be calm at all!

It’s not just him, but countless people on the city wall are trembling at this moment!

Originally, there were 300,000 troops in Xingqing Prefecture. Brother Richard took away 250,000 people, and there were 50,000 people here! However, in order to deal with the Song army in the east, Brother Richard took away the elite troops in the army. At this moment, the 50,000 people left behind are among the old and weak! No one knows whether he can defend Xingqing Prefecture!

"Your Majesty, we should immediately send someone to inform General Cha Ge and ask him to lead his troops back to help!" Prime Minister Wei Ming Anhui was still calm and said immediately.

"Not bad!" King Wei Li Renli also nodded.

"Send someone to climb down from the city wall immediately! Chase Brother Cha as fast as possible, and make sure to let him come back as soon as possible!" Xia Chongzong took a deep breath and said.

"Your Majesty, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Xingqing Prefecture, and you should mobilize the people immediately! Especially the men, all of them must come out and participate in the defense of the city! There are countless weapons and countless weapons in the warehouse, and these must be taken out and handed over to the people in the city! Also, Your Majesty, you should take out gold and silver from the national treasury and distribute them to the soldiers to inspire the morale of the soldiers! In this way, we will definitely be able to defend Xingqing Prefecture!" Wei Ming Anhui said again.

"Yes! Everything will do as my beloved said!" Xia Chongzong said.

He knew that Prime Minister Wei Ming Anhui was extremely talented! Over the years, the national strength of Xixia has become stronger and stronger. One of the main reasons is the existence of Wei Ming Anhui! In the past, he obeyed Wei Ming Anhui's advice, but today he was restless and had no idea in his mind. Naturally, everything was done according to what Wei Ming Anhui said!

At that moment, Xia Chongzong ordered countless people to execute his orders! Wei Ming Anhui looked at the dense Song army below and frowned! He didn't know why things turned into this! Just over ten days ago, Brother Richard had just led the army to the east, and now the Song army actually appeared under the capital of Xixia!

"I hope God bless Xixia!" At this moment, many people in Xingqing Mansion have such thoughts!

*******

At this moment, Brother Richard had just led 250,000 main forces in Xixia to Baichi City!

He waited for two more days here, and then the garrisons from Shunzhou, Jingzhou, Lingzhou and Huaizhou also came here one after another!

Now that Brother Richard's troops have reached 320,000, he has led the army to continue to head towards Yanzhou City!

Along the way, Brother Richard continued to encounter defeated generals from Yanzhou, Hongzhou, and Youzhou. Brother Richard kept asking these defeated generals, and he kept thinking and analyzing them! In the end, he came to a conclusion that there were about 150,000 Han people invading Xixia! After getting this conclusion, he immediately felt relieved! The main force of Xixia he led was more than twice that of the Song army, which was enough to eliminate all the Song army! Originally, he planned to take steps forward, but in his opinion, the Song army must retreat, and that was the time to chase the Song army! But now after reaching this conclusion, he had decided to fight the Song army head-on and eliminate all the Song army!

After Wanyan Zonggan knew that the Song army had only more than 100,000, he felt relieved! To be honest, Wanyan Zonggan was also a little worried that the strength of Xixia would be damaged! At that time, the plan to attack Guanshan from three sides would be completely defeated! The Jurchens and King Kang's army were all in the east, and they wanted to break through the extraordinary difficulties from Zhengdong!

On the tenth day of March, the main force of Xixia came to the vicinity of Yanzhou City!

Here, Brother Richard carefully observed some traces left by the Song army at that time, and his judgment that the Song army had only 150,000 people was even more certain!

At present, 320,000 Xixia troops surrounded Yanzhou City!

But Brother Richard did not launch an attack immediately. He first ordered the soldiers to rest!

It was not until March 11 that he launched his first attack!

When he arrived this time, in addition to leading more than 300,000 main forces in Xixia, he also had countless food, supplies, and countless siege equipment!

It started from the morning when the sun just rose, and it was not until the sun set in the afternoon that he yelled the gold and took back the army!

As night gradually came, Richard and Wanyan Zonggan were staying in the military camp!

Brother Richard's face was very bad, but Wanyan Zonggan was a little strange and said, "General Li, what's wrong? Are you in a good mood?"

Brother Richard hesitated for a moment and said, "The Song army that invaded this time is extremely powerful!"

Wanyan Zonggan Road: "Extremely strong? How can you tell me?"

Wanyan Zonggan only fought with Wanyan Aguda when the Jurchens just started their army. Since then, he has been dealing with logistics and politics. His battlefield vision is not as good as Brother Richard!
