Zhao Ming went down, Zhong Zhi continued to stare ahead, and ordered: "Terrent twenty steps back."

After retreating, the people of Xixia were under great pressure. More people walked into the river with mud bags on their backs, threw them down and turned back. However, under the pressure of the Song army's powerful firepower, they threw the mud bags very quickly, but when they returned, they were very slow and there was no end. After returning to the camp, they had to continue carrying mud bags.

When Zhong Diagnostic looked at these people, he thought to himself, why bother?

Under the suppression of the Song army's bows and arrows, many people in Xixia were killed, but they could still be identified through appearance diagnosis, most of which were Xixia's cowards.

But this issue is very complicated. Compared with the clumsy ethnic policies of the Song Dynasty, whether in the Western Xia or the Liao Kingdom, it seems to be better than the Song Dynasty. Of course, this is also forced to be stalemate with the Song Dynasty. It is necessary for the Han people to grow. Only by planting food can we feed more people, provide more supplies, and further suppress the Song army. This requires the Han people.

Because of the importance of farming, the Han people did not feel rejected on the other side of the mountain, and they were also their home, so they had to do so. Even Wang Ju has not figured out this problem now, so don’t expect the diagnosis to be able to figure it out.

Even if we figured it out, we can't say that the Western Xia used Han people as cowards, and the Song Dynasty also used the foreign people as cannon fodder, and everyone was with each other.

Li Liangzuo watched the large number of soldiers fall down, and was furious again. Then he called Ye Fengma to ask: "Is this what you said that the Song army is unprepared and the governor is weak?"

Ye Fengma said: "Your Majesty, this may be done by the soldiers of Dashun City, and it has nothing to do with that prefect."

It seems to be an explanation.

But at this moment, Song Ji frowned again.

The Song army retreated forty steps, and many Xixia people with accurate archery skills continued to wade into the river with their shields and shot with the Song army.

So Zhong Diao issued another order: "Twenty steps back."

Of course, this made the Xixia people pave the river bottom smoother, but the casualties of the Song army dropped significantly.

The Xixia people threw bags of mud into the river, but from the river to the other side of the river, one Xixia people after another were shot dead by the Song army.

Some corpses floated downstream again with the river water.

"Lin Chongban's archery skills are really outstanding," Zhang Feng had no Wang Juwuyi, so he had to stay on the top of the city to watch the battle, but he quickly noticed that the young general Lin Guang was shooting continuously, not a close hand-to-hand deal between the two armies. When three or four arrows were released, the enemy would come to his sight and turn into hand-to-hand combat, so you can see your physical strength and archery skills at this time.

Some officers and soldiers could not keep up with their physical strength, and although the arrows were released, they were soft and had no lethality. Some were strong and each arrow continued to shoot as fast as they began.

Among them, Lin Guang performed the most outstandingly. Not only did he never stop, but he also had a correct archery technique. He could shoot a Xixia soldier almost every two or three arrows.

Until now, Lin Guang alone has killed at least a dozen soldiers.

"There is hope for great victory," said Zhong Zhi.

Today, many Xixia soldiers were killed again, but not a collapse war. In fact, the actual killing and capturing were caused by the collapse war, including Wang Juna's three battles. Although the casualties were quite large, for the army that Li Liangzuo invaded, it was only a drop in the bucket, but it would have an immeasurable effect on the morale of both sides.

After saying that, he ordered again: "Camp change."

Several battalions of soldiers poured out from Dashun City, and the soldiers fighting on the front line were rotated down to rest.

Some Xixia soldiers thought this opportunity could be taken advantage of, so they rushed to the other side of the river. However, they only rushed for more than a dozen steps and immediately bent down. They screamed in the river and were shot to death one after another.

Even a horse can be stabbed and injured, and it is a human.

Zhong Zhi shouted loudly: "Stay steady and take another ten steps."

After four retreats, seventy steps back, the main battlefield has entered the river, which has caused more corpses to float downstream with the river.

However, after nearly a thousand sacrifices were made by the Xixia people, they finally laid mud bags of big and small on the bottom of the river.

After turning his head and looking at the city, Zhong Zhi waved the flag in his hand at Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming led the third battalion of cavalry, including his foreign soldiers just now, and quickly rushed out of Dashun City.

Just as the river was paved at the bottom, these people were about to return to the military camp, Zhao Ming killed more than a thousand cavalry.

Most of these Xixia people were coaxing men and also captured the life army, but the number was small. Seeing more than a thousand Song cavalry coming out, one of them ran faster than the other.

Zhao Ming quickly caught up with him, and kept waving his butcher knife to the Xixia soldiers when he was behind him, just like cutting melons and vegetables.

"Strike, attack." Li Liangzuo shouted.

Manme led the cavalry out of the camp, but it was not the Song army ahead, but the army horses that fled themselves. Manme couldn't care about it and began to trample on themselves, especially the heavy iron kite, which hurt their own people more. After they finally found a way out of their own people, they saw that they were connected with Zhao Ming's cavalry, but the horn of withdrawal was sounded on Dashun City.

Zhao Ming took his men back to Dashun City without any haste.

The Xixia people were killed and injured even more. The two armies were wasting countless arrows. The Xixia people sacrificed less than a thousand people, but at this moment, more than a thousand people were lost.

Li Liangzuo became even more angry and ordered a siege, regardless of the sunset approaching dusk.

Zhang Feng looked at the battlefield silently, thinking that the offensive and defensive battle had finally officially begun. He had talked with Wang Ju before. Wang Ju said that some people in the court said that because the Xixia people lacked wood, they were unable to build siege equipment, which made the Xixia people not good at siegeing cities. Some people also said that Xixia was a nomadic people and were good at fighting immediately, so they were not good at siegeing cities. Both statements were wrong, or only part of them were correct.

Although most of the Western Xia were cavalry, they also obtained the Hexi Corridor and the North and South Hetao, which were important horse-raising places in the Tang Dynasty.

However, Nanhetao began to have severe desertification, and there were very few areas that could really raise horses. Unlike the Tang Dynasty, the horse-raising areas in the Tang Dynasty not only included Hetao in the North and South, Hexi Corridors, but also related to the East of the Central Hebei region, and even during the peak of the Great Wall, there were pastoral prisons in the Western Regions and Qinghai. That's it, there were only 600,000 to 700,000 war horses prepared all year round.

There are many horses in Xixia, but horses are not only military uses, but also have many uses. Moreover, they are mainly military service system. Can they make every military service have horses? Does every military service have horses in Qingzhou? Even foreign cavalry cannot do it! Therefore, it can only be said that it is a mixed military service that is half cavalry and half infantry.

And many Han people are coaxing men, which are different from nomadic peoples such as the Huns and Turks, and even more so in wood. Are you really not even able to get a siege equipment in Hengshan Tiandu Mountain?

Yes, but does Xixia have so much financial support?

This is one of them. The second is that if the Song army comes, will the Song army be good at siegeing the city?

But when Wang Ju said this, his intention was very far-reaching. This was a pit left for the future. In the future, Zhao Xu still underestimated the enemy. Wang Ju had to warn him, especially the Lingzhou City, but he could not say it alone. He had to find more people who understand military affairs to say it together, which would be convincing.

It would be great if there was no Lingzhou tragedy, but this also made Wang Jitou feel a headache. Not only did he convince Zhao Xu, but he also had to convince many people, some of whom were so violent...

It may succeed. It may not be successful. This is inevitable. In the future, I can accomplish many things, and there are many things that I cannot do. I can only say that I can shoot one shot at the other, lay some foundation, and then lay down a solid foundation for myself step by step.

Zhang Feng didn't know what Wang Ju was going to do, so he began to pay attention to see what the Xixia people used to attack the city?

There are equipment for siege, simple siege ladders, which are the ladders used by the people. As for the ladders similar to the Song Dynasty, no one was seen.

Zhang Qi turned his head and looked at the tall city wall behind him and the terrain built against the mountains, and smiled and said, "General Zhong, Dashun City is fine."

There are many people, but the city wall is so long. Can you give full play to the advantages of large people?

Or learn from monkeys one by one. Climb up from the cliff that was deliberately dug by the Song Dynasty officers and soldiers.

Even monkeys are not good. If you send a garrison on it, you can easily kill them one by one.

Of course it is not just a ladder. There are also a bump in wood, but can these bumps knock down the walls of Dashun City?

The fierce offensive and defensive battle began. Although the situation seemed to be relatively optimistic, the walls of Dashun City were built on steep slopes, which made it more difficult to attack the city, but there were too many people in Xixia, and they rushed over like ants.

"Let go, let go." The clinic kept commanding.

Arrows flew away, stones hit one by one, and there were also pounding woods covered with iron nails. The Song army poured fierce turbulence and then shot with rockets, which caused many Xixia people to suffer casualties. However, Xixia people continued to step on their companions' bodies to attack the city.

Some soldiers successfully climbed to the top of the city wall and fought with the Song army tragically on the top of the city wall.

A general said, "General Zhong, let it go."

It killed many enemies, but the Song army also suffered serious casualties. If the competition continues, the Xixia people can't stand it, but in the end, Dashun City can become a commander with a bareback.

Zhong Diao pressed his hands and said, "Wait a little longer."

Li Liangzuo was also furious and said, "Putting out the catapult."

Xixia also had trenchers, and successfully transformed a group of small trenchers, installed on camels, forming a powerful "artillery army". However, due to technical and financial reasons, it was not as good as the Song Dynasty on large trenchers.

Zhongdian then said, "It's almost time."

He made a gesture to the city, and soldiers immediately pushed out twenty tiger-crowned cannons in the city. The original stone cannon was accurately called the stone cannon, with the character "Stone", not the character "Fire". There are many types, such as cannon carts, single-tip cannons, double-tip cannons, sleeping car cannons, tiger squatting cannons, combined cannons, and fire cannons.

After the stone cannon was produced, Cai Ting asked Wang Ju if he had a name. Wang Ju said no, Cai Ting said: "I will give it a name, called Hu Ju Pao."

This name is more majestic than a tiger squatting cannon.

So the name of the new trencher became the tiger cannon.

The number is not large, the cost is too expensive, and the northwest terrain is complex, mostly small-area offensive and defensive wars, valley wars, and mountain road wars, which are bound by the power of trenchers. Therefore, before the appearance of the tiger cannon, the number of trenchers in the two countries has not been high.

If you fire a stone bullet, it is indeed not necessary to be equipped with many tiger cannons. However, if you are equipped with the new type of fire caltrop, your power will immediately rise to a higher level.

Not only were there tiger squatting cannons, but there were more than a dozen trenchers in the city, and they pushed them out together.

The most disgusting thing about dozens of huge fire caltrops thrown out is that the Xixia people are mainly guarded. Nowadays, these tiger-climbing cannons are mostly medium and large stone trenchers, and there are two large stone cannons in the city. The disadvantage is that there are many people operating, and they must be seventy or eighty people to operate. Therefore, although the power is great, there are very few equipment. However, this new stone cannon does not require so many people. Even if there are a few large tiger-climbing cannons, it can only be operated by more than a dozen people.

Therefore, at the suggestion of Zhang Ju, Wang Ju deliberately made some extra-large fire caltrops in the workshop, weighing almost 50 kilograms.

Then the explosion sounded, and with just one projection, nearly a hundred soldiers were killed. Countless injured people, and others were also stunned.

"Let it go again."

Dozens of fire caltrop balls rose slowly again, but in fact their lethality was not as good as the bloody battle just now. Although the bow and arrow killed at most one person at a time, it could not resist the many soldiers of the Song Dynasty. But this thing was too evil. Many soldiers ignored the scolding from the rear and began to run away in a mess.

"Retreat," Li Liangzuo finally gave this order in grief and anger.

Zhong Zhi said in surprise: "Is it withdrawn?"

Not satisfied with the fight, Zhang Feng rolled his eyes and thought, I've been having fun in the past two days, but you have to know how much it cost to smash it, ejaculate, and blow it up.

Ye Fengma looked at the army retreating in batches, and his face became very ugly.

Undoubtedly, the Song army is definitely not like the information they inquired about. He has to bear half of the responsibility for the casualties and injuries of the army in the past two days.

At this time, Song Ji walked over and said, "General Ye Bu, there is good news."

"What good news?" Ye Fengma was so angry that she wanted to beat Song Ji.
