The Hui Hui cannons of the Western Regions had already caused great headaches for the defenders of the Gansu Military City. When the Song Dynasty spent half a month to create dozens of Hui Hui cannons with even more powerful power, the nightmare of the Xixia people really began. The cannon stones weighing hundreds of kilograms fell from the sky with huge shouts. For a moment, the earth was trembling, and the roar seemed to collapse and destroy the mountains.

A huge rock hit the corner tower of the military city with thunder. The wooden corner tower collapsed with a creaking sound. The Xixia archers in the corner tower were either dead or injured, and their appearance was miserable and scary.

With the continuous support of Huihui cannons, the Western Route Army regrouped and attacked the Gansu military city. The tide of soldiers and dark clouds of crossbow arrows broke through the air, and the sound of fighting gathered together, giving people a scene of destruction. The people of Xixia had no other way, so they could only resist and endure all this.

The war is fought from day to night, and the aura of despair spreads in the military city, but they are mobilized again under the inspiration of Tuoba Hao. The city is destroyed and the time of death is to be desperate. Instead of sitting there waiting for death, it is better to kill yourself. The more you are in adversity, the more people's potential will be stimulated.

Since Yang Zhongxian led the Western Army to the west, he had never encountered such a desperate defender, nor had he encountered such a tenacious resistance. The people of Xixia were already crazy. Even the wounded soldiers stood on the city wall to fight, allowing tired soldiers to take a turn to rest. Some Dangxiang soldiers saw that they were unable to stop the imperial guards from climbing the wall, and would even go forward to push down more imperial guards and fall down the wall with him at the cost of their lives.

Such a fierce war has already stirred up the hearts of the Song people and made the Xixia people's fighting spirit even higher. Sometimes death is a sacrifice, providing more motivation for the most passionate people and inspiring the murderous intent in people's hearts.

The Song army had no choice but to attack the city while sieging the city, creating more Hui artillery and attacking the Gansu military city with more stone rain. This not only reduces pressure for the soldiers on the front line, but also destroys the city walls to the greatest extent and kills the defenders in the city.

This is a bit rogue, but he is doing everything he wants on the battlefield. Flying stones are like rain, constantly smashing into the Gansu military city. The houses in the city collapsed and the screams of the Xixia people were accompanied by the screams of the Huihuan. The stones fired by the Huihuan did not have eyes. Whether it was soldiers or ordinary people, they would be injured when touched, and those who were hit would die!

The entire Gansu military city has become a purgatory on earth. People are constantly injured or killed. Some people have to be amputated and broken limbs have been intercepted to save their lives. The cruelty of war is fully reflected here and is shocking.

With the suppression of cannon stones and crossbow arrows, the Xixia people on the city wall basically had no chance to show their heads. They raised their tall and tough shields to work together to resist the invasion of stones. The wooden shield with a certain degree of toughness can absorb a large part of the impact when it is hit, and there is no need to worry about the rain of arrows falling from the sky.

This is a very effective method. The soldiers come to block the water and come to the earth to tub the soil and tub. The Xixia people slowly figured out the method from the attack of the Song army. The tall wooden shield was finally placed on the wooden frame and turned into a ceiling. However, sometimes the stones would fall straight through the wooden shield, and the people below would undoubtedly die, but at least this method could reduce the death of the defenders.

The defenders on the city wall were suppressed and could not stretch their heads. The opportunity for the Song Dynasty came. The soldiers in the Western Army used the most violent and practical method, gunpowder to attack the city. This was the most effective method found by the Song Dynasty to deal with the city wall, no doubt about it.

It is difficult for any city wall to withstand the power of gunpowder explosion. Just start digging about two feet below the city wall, chisel the bricks and stones outside, crush the rammed earth inside, dig a hole with a small outside and large inside, and then ignite it after the gunpowder is placed. The huge power generated after the explosion will cause the bottom of the city wall to vibrate, and the city wall itself will not be able to mature and begin to collapse.

With a shocking sound, the power of the gunpowder explosion was really huge. Even among the earth and rocks, the sound was shocking the four fields. The Song army's formation began to shake. Yang Zhongxian nodded with satisfaction, and the dust kept rolling and rising. As expected, a large hole was torn open in the solid city wall of Xixia.

The people of the Western Regions let out excited howls, and kept galloping towards this incomplete break, so that the heavy infantry of the Song Dynasty had no chance to advance. Yang Zhongxian couldn't help but curse these people for their recklessness. If the heavy infantry of the Song Dynasty were opened by the heavy infantry of the Song Dynasty and the mermaids of the Western Regions followed one after another, the army would soon gain a foothold in the city.

But the earth was still vibrating at this time, and the vibration amplitude was getting bigger and bigger, far exceeding the power of gunpowder explosion. The Song army didn't know what it was, until the scout's shrill cry recalled: "Enemy attack! The Western Xia cavalry attacked the enemy!"

Yang Zhongxian quickly climbed to the platform. On the horizon in the distance, an endless black line was gradually getting bigger. Soon he saw the cavalry leading the way and the Xixia flag erected high.

Before she could think too much, Yang Zhongxian yelled: "Line in the southeast, the Dangxiang cavalry attacked! Issuing a cannon to warn the flanks!"

A simple sentence passed down the military order. The soldiers' movements were very fast, and sharp arrows and cannons rang out one after another. The Song army was rapidly changing the military formation, from a square to a diamond, and the corner of the cheap one was the flank of the formation. There was an order in the Song army. Getting a cannon was like obeying military orders. The sound of cannons changed into formations with the sound of cannons. It was not violated if they were not present!

The Song army has formed a habit. Each military formation has a commander who is responsible for listening to military orders, so the changes in the Song army formation are so fast. But even so, when the Western Xia cavalry came back, the Song army formation only barely shot out two rounds of arrows and then met in close contact.

Because it was a temporary change of formation, the army had no time to carry the heavy horse-rejecting horses, and even less time to dig a trap and set up a tripping rope. The Western Xia cavalry almost rushed into the formation.

At this time, the Song army, who was struggling with the ambush, had no chance to take care of the Qingtang coalition. He couldn't even take care of himself, who cares about these reckless people?

But it was these rash Western Regions who gave the Song Dynasty the opportunity to change its formation to meet the enemy. If the Song Dynasty's front army attacked the Gansu military city, the central and rear army were attacked by the Western Xia ambush outside, it would be a miserable situation. Yang Zhongxian even felt a little grateful at this time.

These Western Xia cavalry obviously did not come from the surroundings. When the Western Route Army attacked, they had defeated Zhuola and the Southern Army Division in the south. Even if the defeated army reunited, there would not be so many people.

Obviously, the number of these cavalrymen is far more than 10,000, and the back is even more continuous, with the momentum of surrounding the Western Army. Based on this calculation, there are probably less than 100,000 people. Could it be an ambush set up by Mozang Epang early?!
