Xia Qian's little thoughts did not affect Di Qing's command. On such a large battlefield, there were not more than him, and no less than him. Yang Huaiyu gave him all his personal soldiers. What else could he do to make things difficult for him? As long as he did not die on the battlefield, anything would do... This was the matter that the official had told him, and protecting this old man was also his duty.

Siege is a battle that consumes the patience and will of both sides. Whether it is Xixia, which is defending or the Great Song Dynasty, the competition is full of tense nerves and perseverance. The people of Xixia feel that they will not be able to defend, and the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty feel that they cannot conquer. Both sides have their own concerns. At this time, the competition is whose will is stronger. Wars between ancient and modern times have always been like this.

The battle formation of the Song Dynasty was well-behaved, and the existence of artillery, a war artillery, was much easier for the siege. This was a gamble, not only Li Yuanhao's gamble, but also Zhao Zhen's gamble. If the Song Dynasty cannot eliminate Xixia in one battle, then troubles will continue.

Not only the threat from the Western Xia, but the public opinion in the dynasty would put a lot of pressure on Zhao Zhen. Although he is the king of a country, it is necessary to do what he says. Moreover, many of the interests of the Song Dynasty are linked to the Western Xia. If the Western Xia is immortal, the Song Dynasty will lose many of the already distributed interests, and those who are damaged will naturally not do it...

Amid the deafening sound of artillery, the battle to destroy the country began. The artillery of the Song Dynasty was a powerful weapon for siege and the army was approaching Xingqing Prefecture, which was a sure victory. Di Qing inherited Zhao Zhen's usual style of losing his family, and the army set up camps and continuously bombarded the city walls of Xingqing Prefecture with artillery.

As for artillery shells, there is no need to worry about it. When the army was just expeditioning the west, there were firearm battalions in Yanzhou City. They made gunpowder bullets and gunpowder bullets needed for artillery every day, and sent them to the front line to supply the needs of the army. This was the most proud part of the Song Dynasty.

The tactics used by Di Qing to attack Xingqing Mansion this time were rare. The army did not move, and hundreds of cannons swept the fire snake, making deafening sounds. The huge iron bomb made a sharp sound of breaking through the air and smashed the city walls of Xingqing Mansion. At the same time, countless Huihua cannons loaded with stones were fired together.

For a moment, the city walls of Xingqing Prefecture were shaking, and the entire Xinqing Prefecture was like a lonely boat in the stormy waves, with bricks and stones gurgling down, and the rising dust covered the sky and the sun, as if it was a scene in the end of the world.

This is the first time that the Song Dynasty showed the world his hideousness and the powerful destructive power of the Central Plains dynasty appeared in front of the world.

This is a great battle, a crushing battle, a slaughtering battle, and the people of Xixia were trembling under the fierce attack. It is not the power that humans should have. This is the heaven, this is the thunder strike that the god of war, swung.

Mozang Epang stood on the top of the city, looking at the vast army on the opposite side with trembling all over. At this time, the Song people were still outside the range of the cannon stone crossbow arrows in Xixia. If the Song people were allowed to attack like this, then how could the Western Xia have the chance to face the Song people with a dangerous egg like a nest?

Mozang Epang made a quick decision and pulled a personal soldier beside him and said, "So quickly leave the secret passage and order all the ambush troops in the Great Seal Valley to come out, attack the Song army's formation in the north and harass the Song army's cannon stones."

As a last resort, Wu Zang Epang could only use the last trump card. If the Song people continued to bombard this way, the city wall of Xingqing Prefecture would collapse soon. How could Xingqing Prefecture hold on without the dangerous wall?

Originally, Mozang Epang was confident of defending Xingqing Prefecture. In his opinion, Xixia took advantage of the battle of siege. The longer the delay, the more beneficial it would be to Xixia, but now it seems that this is not the case.

The house collapsed under the cannon stone. Occasionally, the shells that passed through the city wall fell into the city, eroding a hundred meters. The ground seemed to be streaked by a huge iron plow, leaving shocking scars.

If the city walls of Xingqing Prefecture are reinforced, it will be difficult to withstand the ten or hundreds of attacks of the Song Dynasty cannon stones. This will not only cause casualties to the soldiers of the Western Xia, but also destroy the morale of the Dangxiang soldiers. Once the city is broken, how can the Dangxiang warriors with a sluggish morale fight to the death with the soldiers of the Song Dynasty?

Everything was completely beyond his expectations of Wuzang Epang. His new fighting style and new tactical concepts all surprised him. He thought he was fully prepared, but before the attack of the Song Dynasty, he was as ridiculous as a clown.

Wu Zang Epang finally realized that the threat of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was not a paper talk. The Song Dynasty did have the power to destroy the Western Xia in the blink of an eye.

The personal soldiers of Mozang Epang passed through the winding secret passage and arrived at the far-reaching Dashan Valley. This place is dozens of miles away from Xingqing Prefecture. The personal soldiers ran fast enough...

This is a basin in a valley with abundant water and grass and vast territory, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops here. This is a ambush of Mozang Epang and his last trump card. The leader of the troops, Weizang Kongshan, was also shocked after receiving the news of the messenger.

No matter what, he could not imagine why Wuzang Epang was going to attack the Song Dynasty. To him, the rumbling sound of cannons in the distance was from the thunder. Could it be that God would favor Xixia again?

But the words of the messenger shattered his fantasy: "This is a cannon stone of the Song people, and its power is as powerful as thunder. The prime minister has an order. The general will quickly attack the Song army formation. Otherwise, Xingqing Prefecture will be in danger!"

Xingqing Prefecture is in danger! Wuzang Kongshan was shocked and immediately ordered the army to set off, with tens of thousands of cavalry as the leader, and rushed towards the Song army formation. It was said by the Prime Minister, then my current Xingqing Prefecture is as dangerous as it is.

Wuzangkongshan is a general in Xixia, and he is also a clan member of Wuzang. He is related to both the Mozang family and the Mozang Epang. At this time, he is the one who least hopes that something happens to Xingqing Prefecture will be considered as the one who does not want to have an accident.

Wuzangkongshan led the ambush all the way to attack the Song army formation of the Great Song army. The dozens of miles in the tunnel were only a meal for the cavalry on the ground. When they arrived at the periphery of Xingqing Prefecture, they saw the Song army formation that was endless like a tide.

Similarly, Di Qing also noticed this army at the first time. This was the main force of Xixia that he was searching hard. From Ulan Mulun River to Xingqing Prefecture, he sent continuous attacks to force the main force of Xixia to appear.

Now that they were close to each other, Di Qing and Yang Huaiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Both of them knew that their plan to force the main force of Xixia to appear was successful.

Although the cannon stones of the Song Dynasty had the ability to razed Xingqing Mansion to the ground, if they really did, they would not have to ask for their reputations. The literati in the court would probably eat them...

There were still hundreds of thousands of Western Xia civilians in Xingqing Prefecture, and even if they massacred the city, they did not kill so many innocent people. Confucianism continued to the Song Dynasty and had high requirements for the ritual system. Not only did the people, scholars and officials, but even the emperor would set an example. This was not a joke.

The affairs of the Jingguan Martial Army were sparse and ordinary in the original war, but in the Song Dynasty it became a cruel and unkind act, which was contrary to the benevolence of the emperor. If the Song Dynasty destroyed the people in Xingqing Palace, you can imagine what the public opinion in the world would be like.
