Chapter 877
After 500 artillery fire, Wang Ningze felt deaf in his ears. At least one-tenth of the artillery fire was destroyed after this day and needed to be rebuilt.
Let’s look at the shells and rockets... He grinned. This is not a war, it’s obviously a burning money!
The consumption of various gunpowder alone costs millions of coins... No wonder the old man is unwilling to take the initiative to attack. If he travels a long distance, crosses the vast sea, and then attacks Xixia, it may not be much consumed!
But no matter what, he is also worthy of being proud of by letting these 100,000 people stop moving forward.
According to the original plan, he attracted the Xixia people, Di Yong, Yang Huaiyu and others, and would rescue them quickly... Perhaps reinforcements will arrive soon, and everyone will hunt together and kill them happily.
Wang Ningze narrowed his eyes and was thinking. Suddenly, the Xixia people opposite him retreated like a tide. Moreover, they retreated before. They were extremely panicked, and they threw away their flags, and the troops were in chaos, without any rules... Wang Ningze was also shocked. Could it be that Li Liangzuo was playing some conspiracy and deliberately retreating to attract him to attack.
Humph!
I'm not that stupid!
Wang Ningze knew very well that his reliance was artillery, and without the cover of the city, the bulky artillery might not work... Anyway, my task was to block Niu Xinting, as long as I could defend it, it would be a great contribution.
But gradually, Wang Ningze also discovered something was wrong. The Xixia people were running farther and farther away, and they were simply defeated. This fake cannot be done.
While he was hesitating, a soldier in charge of observation rushed over and told Wang Ningze that they had just taken advantage of the sunset to find a huge banner falling down, and then the Xixia troops retreated.
"Bulle, what is the flag?"
Wang Ningze was puzzled. At this time, someone came again. Several soldiers came with beards and Han Zhongyan.
"The four generals are the dragon flag, the dragon flag!"
Han Zhongyan shouted excitedly because he was on the hills, and the smoke was thin and facing the sunset. He saw it very clearly. A ball of smoke exploded, and a huge dragon flag fell down, and then the people in Xixia retreated.
"So, I, did I beat Li Liangzuo to death?"
Even Wang Ningze was stunned. Be good, this is so lucky!
Could it be that there is really a blessing from the heroic spirit that Xixia has committed too many sins, and God wants to accept them?
Han Zhongyan was also speechless. The luck of the Wang family was simply amazing!
The emperor who fought against 200,000 with 5,000 yuan and killed the opponent, went through history books, defeating the more with less, and enjoying himself. That's all!
"Congratulations to the Fourth General!" Han Zhongyan said reluctantly.
Wang Ningze hesitated for a moment and suddenly shouted: "What are you waiting for? Attack me!"
The Song army immediately dispatched 2,000 people to chase after him. The soldiers of Xixia were so miserable that they threw away their armor and did not even have the courage to resist. They only knew that they would run away in a hurry, be caught up, or be surrendered on their knees, or be chopped off their heads, just like chickens and ducks, and they were so honest.
Judging from their appearance, it seems that Li Liangzuo is really in danger.
Wang Ningze ordered a fierce pursuit, and at this moment, a cavalry led by Yang Huaiyu came and joined the attack. He directly cut the Xixia troops into two pieces, and more than 30,000 people were intercepted and became prisoners.
Immediately afterwards, Di Yong, Hu Yanda, Pan Su and others also arrived one after another.
Although Wang Ning'an arranged his troops very scattered, it seemed that the main force attacked Youzhou, he had already done so. During this period, the Song Dynasty had added many roads and bridges on the border, and the time for dispatching troops was greatly reduced.
All the people approached Niu Xinting at the fastest speed and rushed to Wang Ningze.
Everyone was worried that Wang Ningze would have trouble, so they rushed over as if they had sex, but found that the Xixia people fled wildly. Needless to say, let's go together!
For everyone, this is a hunting feast, where everyone is desperately catching prisoners, but there are too many Xixia people all over the mountains and fields, and they can’t count them.
Far away in Yan'an Prefecture... In front of Wang Ning'an, the three brothers of the Zhong family lined up in a row, like elementary school students who made mistakes.
"Prince, I, I am ashamed and willing to be executed."
Wang Ning'an waved his hand, "At this time, don't say these things... You are wrong, you are not strict in the control of your subordinates, and you are not in good condition. You have relatives who actually colluded with Xixia, betrayed military intelligence, and acted as traitors. You can kill and not keep them!"
Wang Ning'an slapped the table and said, "Zhan Linchun has been taken down. You will lead the troops immediately and make meritorious service. Perhaps you can eliminate the crime. If you are confused, I will not be able to protect you!"
Zhong Gu took the lead in delivering the gift, "Thank you, Prince Hong's kindness, I know what to do!"
Immediately, the three brothers of the Zhong family separated. Zhong Yan led 20,000 soldiers to Niu Xinting to assist Wang Ningze. Zhong Zhi led 30,000 troops to clean up the mess, especially the Zhong family troops running all over the ground, gathering them back so that they would not harm the place.
As for Zong Gu, it was to sort out the list and land deeds of the Zong family army and prepare to hand it over to the court for the basis for disarmament and land division.
After the Wang family and the Zhe family, the Zhong family also agreed to disarmament.
Finally, the private soldiers problem was completely solved, from top to bottom, like an arm instructing him, and there was no interference again!
Even Wang Ning'an breathed a sigh of relief... He didn't know the situation ahead. If he knew that Li Liangzuo was finished, he would be out of the blue!
...
A shell cannot take human life unless it hits directly or explodes around.
Li Liangzuo was also unlucky. The shell exploded three meters away, and he was just hit by the air waves... But the problem was that the war horse was frightened and threw him down.
When it landed, Li Liangzuo's head was knocked and fainted.
The battlefield was in a panic, who knew whether the emperor was dead or alive!
They only saw Li Liangzuo fall down and panic, and went to rescue the emperor with all his might. They were already bombarded by cannons and lost their souls. Suddenly they found that the emperor had no idea of life and death, and their men and horses collapsed instantly. No matter how they restricted it, it would not work.
There was no choice but to protect Li Liangzuo and flee down quickly.
Just as he was running away, various Song troops, with divine weapons falling from the sky, dispersing the Xixia people and killing fewer and fewer. At this time, Li Liangzuo had already woken up. When he saw the defeat of the mountain, he was anxious, spitting a mouthful of blood, and fainted again.
Although Li Liangzuo was not old, he had been with Liang early on, and later he was even more women, and his health was not so good... This time he was first dropped, and then he saw the defeat. He was angry and vomited blood. After running for a whole day, he finally took a breath.
Li Liangzuo's condition was already very bad. His face was ashen, his breathing was rapid, he was angry and ashamed... The 100,000 army was almost the last lifeblood of Xixia. He was lost in a confused manner. What kind of face does he have to face the nobles of Dangxiang?
The foundation left by the father was completely destroyed in his hands.
I deserve to die, I have no face to see my elders!
Li Liangzuo felt that the whole world had abandoned him and was ashamed to death.
What made him even more desperate was that the Song Dynasty's military preparations had made too fast. The last time he opened the Hexi Corridor, there were only muskets, but this time it was cannons and muskets.
How terrible!
The solid projectile whizzed past the crowd and could create a bloody alley. The sky was filled with broken limbs, blood squirted, and the shotguns and flowering bullets were like the scattered flowers of the heavenly girl. The soldiers were covered and swallowed, and the living people were beaten into rotten corpses...
Witnessing the tragic situation of the soldiers with his own eyes... Li Liangzuo finally understood that with the national and military strength of the Song Dynasty, there is only a dead end to the head-on battle!
Whether it is to attack or defend the city, he has no chance of winning.
There is no other choice, so I can retreat to the grassland and live on the endless grassland... so that the Song Dynasty could not find it and could not catch up!
"Transfer my will and immediately let the Prime Minister withdraw his troops from Youzhou, withdraw all his troops, and retreat northward!"
Li Liangzuo whispered: "Send someone to the capital again and tell the queen to take my son and evacuate them together, and don't stay in Xingqing Mansion. The Song army will soon arrive."
Liang Yifu's pupils were tightening, and he suddenly said quietly: "Your Majesty, do you want to give up Xingqing Mansion?"
"Well, what can I do if I don't give up? The Song army's firearms are sharp, so we can only retreat temporarily." Li Liangzuo explained, and then said impatiently: "Go and pass the order!"
Liang Yifu agreed, and he turned around and walked out the door.
At this moment, Liang Yifu's face became ferocious and distorted, as if possessed by a fierce god!
The Liang family defected to Xixia because they wanted to live a life of superiors... If they gave up Xingqing Mansion and ran to the grassland, they could certainly avoid the edge of the Song army, but living by pursuing water and grass, is it really the life they wanted to live?
Now the power of Xixia is in the hands of the Liang family. Li Liangzuo was defeated, and these 100,000 people are considered to be abolished. Now the most powerful team in Xixia is the 50,000 soldiers buried in Liang Yi!
Li Liangzuo's son Li Bingchang is still a baby and is completely controlled by his mother, Empress Liang... If Li Liangzuo is deposed at this time, wouldn't it mean that the power of Xixia has fallen into the hands of their Liang family!
If they monopolize the power, they can negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty and ask for surrender, and exchange for wealth and glory... If not, they retreat to the grassland and they have the final say, it is better than being a slave to others!
The Liang family knew in their hearts why Li Liangzuo valued them?
It was because Li Liangzuo knew that the Liang family was born in Han, and it was a dog in his hands. No matter what, the dog could not be on par with others.
Once, Li Liangzuo waived the military power buried by Liang Yi, and later reused it again... Although Li Liangzuo was still very polite, the Liang family knew that they would never be on the table.
Since that's the case, why bother to Li Liangzuo to be a slave!
Liang Yifu suddenly pulled out the dagger!
The sharp knife shone with a cold light. He suddenly turned around and headed straight for Li Liangzuo.
When Liang Yifu raised the dagger and was about to fall, suddenly Li Liangzuo turned over and happened to see it. He shouted loudly, "Treacherous, you dare!"
Liang Yifu was startled, but he knew that it was irreversible, so he could only grit his teeth and stab it. Li Liangzuo hurriedly reached out to stop him, and the two of them twisted together.
Helplessly, Li Liangzuo vomited blood and was weak. He tried his best, but he could not stop it. Seeing the dagger piercing into his throat little by little, his eyes were filled with blood and almost glaring out!
"Dog, dogs that bite people, you must die a bad death!"
"Hmph, if you die, you will die first!" Liang Yifu suddenly exerted force and stabbed the dagger into Li Liangzuo's throat. Blood splashed, making him covered in his body. This guy was cruel enough. His wrist turned, smashing Li Liangzuo's blood vessels and trachea... The emperor of Xixia died in the hands of his dog, extremely miserable...
