Prisoners of war were taken to the city wall again.△↗

But this time it was different. Most prisoners of war held shields in their hands, but many of these shields were wooden shields. This was helpless. Wang Ju only stayed in the military weapon prison for more than ten months and had been reforming the military weapon prison for the past few months. After the reform was completed, the military weapon prison could be considered to have started to be put into production. If calculated from this period of time, it would be only one year. It is impossible to allow all the armor to be replaced. The Song Dynasty did not have so much financial resources for Wang Ju to spend it.

Of course, it would be better if it was delayed until next winter. At least Zhang Ruoshui would not let the military weapon surveillance quickly yet.

However, it is impossible to delay until next year. Wang Shao will probably open the border Hehuang next year.

Therefore, there are still a large number of unqualified armors on the battlefield of Huanqing Road this time, although the armors of General Wang Ju's weapons and weapons were brought to the front line together.

The wooden shield is also effective for the time being. At least they are standing on the top of the city and do not have to face the threat of slashing the enemy's sword.

These people climbed to the top of the city and stood in a row again.

The large shields of the Song Dynasty were slightly different from those of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was an irregular pentagon that was almost rectangular. The Song Dynasty changed from a pentagon to a hexagon. Although it was close to a rectangle, it was not a real square. Some of these large shields were made by Li Sangou last night.

Many of the soldiers nowadays are multi-purpose soldiers. They put down their weapons, maybe they are carpenters, bricklayers, lacquers, cobblers, and blacksmiths.

This is also the product of war needs and times.

Even though the Song Dynasty was well-developed, it was still dominated by a closed small peasant economy, which destined many things, and the people were self-sufficient. If the house was broken, they repaired it themselves. If they wanted to make a furniture, they would do it themselves. Even the cloth and clothes were arranged by the women at home. They were planted with mulberry plants, textiles, and sewn.

This is especially true for the army. It is impossible to hire special craftsmen to open mountains, build roads, and build camp fences.

In this regard, Xixia did not have an advantage because Dashun City was blocked and the materials in the rear could not be delivered to the front line in time. Everything was short of food, grass, equipment, and even tools and nails.

But Rouyuan Village is not short of these.

This is something that historical books and military books often ignore. It seems that everyone has come here for thousands of years, and there is nothing worth recording. But it is actually very important.

At least because of this, in just one night, Li Sangou had more than a thousand large wooden shields in his hand. Although they were a little rough, they immediately made two shield walls appear in Rouyuan Village. And because they were irregular hexagonal shapes. This was also an amazing progress, because the sharp corners below them were abandoned, then it could be placed smoothly on the ground. In fact, not only did it have an extra edge, but the large shield also developed from the side shield to the standing shield. However, it was not a real quadrilateral shield, so holes were created after the combination of each shield, which happened to become a pile hole for the archers to fight back.

When the shield wall appeared, Li Sangou asked his subordinates to issue bows and arrows to more than a thousand prisoners of war. There were compound bows sent by Wang Ju. The number of divine arm bows was still not large, and it was impossible to be fully popularized. Moreover, it was too restrictive. Even after improvement, not all soldiers could be fully loaded.

But there are not many real black lacquer bows, and there are also a large number of Xia arches and crossbows seized from the battle of Anjiang Fort.

However, it is enough, at least the range can be shot to the earthen mountain with a few dozen steps away.

One is the stimulation of money, the second is Li Sangou's promise, and the third is that there are Song Bing guards behind him, who can follow the orders and not follow the orders, and everyone understands the consequences.

More than a thousand Western Xia prisoners of war began to shoot arrows and fight back.

When a Xixia general saw this situation, he was so angry that he shouted: "You scum, dare you shoot us with arrows? Are you from Daxia?"

A prisoner of war plucked up his courage and shouted, "You know we are from Daxia, why do you still shoot us with arrows?"

"Who lets you stand in front?"

"We have no choice, either."

"Why don't you die!"

Li Sangou just came over and said, "What he meant was wrong when you surrendered. Even if you commit suicide, you shouldn't surrender. But I don't understand very much, does Xixia have such an army?"

Not to mention the Western Xia, no matter the Liao Kingdom or the Jin Kingdom in the future, there was no such army. Even the battle between the Good Shuichuan and Junziguan in the Song Dynasty was an exception. What should I do if I didn’t surrender when I was defeated? Or who can truly not be afraid of death?

But is it true that these prisoners of war doing this? Li Sangou found it difficult to explain the truth clearly, so he simply gave an order: "Let's do this, you treat the same as the strong men under my command. For each Xia soldier to kill, you will be rewarded with ten pieces of silk."

Li Sangou glanced at the shield-holding prisoners and said, "Of course, you can participate, but to give you convenience, every time you kill a Xia army, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. After the war, you will take it home, but I will not force it."

After saying that, Li Sangou looked at it and said, how many people in our Song Dynasty said?

That's right. Can prisoners of war listen to the great truth? Besides, what great truth can Li Sangou say? Real money and silver are the real ones.

The order was issued, and the prisoners on both sides fired arrows softly, but the arrows became sharper and sharper. Each prisoner pulled the bowstrings and then aimed before he released the arrows.

So a strange scene appeared on the battlefield. Xixia also set up fortifications on the earthen mountain and shields on the fortifications. Of course, the fighters were all Xixia soldiers.

In addition to the battlements on the top of the city, there were Song Dynasty officers and soldiers smashing rocks under the city, and behind the female wall, were also Xixia soldiers holding shields, and even Xixia soldiers shooting arrows. This was not a Songxia offensive and defensive battle, but it turned into an offensive and defensive battle within Xixia.

The more you fought with the Xixia soldiers under the city wall on the earthen mountain, the more angry you became. You really shot arrows, so the counterattack became more and more fierce. The Xixia prisoners on the city saw their companions falling down constantly and also fired real fire, so they became more and more fierce as they fought.

They were angry unconsciously, but the Xixia soldiers behind them looked at each other, and their hearts were filled with mixed feelings and felt very uncomfortable.

What a blow to morale if this continues. Liang Yi was so angry that he pushed thousands of elite soldiers up, all of whom were real Xixia crossbows, trying to end this nightmare battle as soon as possible.

But Liang Yi buried this, he really forced the prisoners of war. Even those who held the shields and who were not in Yanzhou and the nearby Hengshan area were angrily asking Li Sangou for battle. Of course, Li Sangou was willing to make it happen and immediately distributed weapons.

There are quite a few prisoners of war, more than 4,100. Although hundreds of people died, more than 3,000 people were still killed. The guards of Jiujing Fortresses on Huanqing Road are less than 3,000.

For a moment, the Xia soldiers on the city and under the city fought fiercely, making Liang Yi buried in the air and dying, and the immortals were about to die...

Xixia had many troops, with more than 100,000 soldiers. The camp was built for several miles, and it was impossible to see the end at first sight. Therefore, Liang Yi buried himself in anger and asked the soldiers of the three armies to go up the mountain to log wood and create siege ladders. It didn't matter if there was a lack of iron nails. He drilled eyes on the ladder columns, left tenons on the crossbars, and forcibly tied the tenons on the mortise. Anyway, he didn't expect to create a ladder like the Song Dynasty. But this kind of siege ladder without any protective nature also means that more soldiers will die. As a result, the more soldiers were invested, the more soldiers died. Of course, the more prisoners of war died. So the prisoners of war were even more red.

Anyway, if we don’t let us live, what else can we worry about?

As a result, in the afternoon, almost all kinds of rough siege ladders were filled with all kinds of rough siege ladders. However, in the evening, Rouyuan Village was still safe and sound. On the contrary, countless dead bodies of Xia soldiers were piled under the city wall.

As for the Song Dynasty, many people died, but 80% were prisoners of war.

Such a fierce offensive and defensive battle and such casualties made the soldiers of the entire Xixia camp not know what to say.

The sky was vast and the night was about to fall again. Liang Yi was buried in the camp and walked around in anger. In the end, Song Ji persuaded him that his wisdom shone again. If he attacked like this, he would rather make an idea from the earthen mountain.

Although the mountain of earth is piled up under the eyes of the Song army, with great casualties, it is better than this kind of casualties in siege. As long as the mountain of earth is piled up to a certain height and the Song people lose the advantage of the city wall height, the opponent's advantage will become a disadvantage. But the opponent's disadvantage still exists, that is, the force is small.

Of course, if Liang Yimang kept siege like this without regard to losses, Rouyuanzhai would sooner or later lose. After all, even if the city walls were covered, it would hurt one thousand enemies and three hundred themselves. However, the troops on both sides were greatly different.

But the situation of the battle is constantly changing.

The three forts ahead suffered fierce attacks this day.

A major transfer was completed behind.

The strong men of Fengchuan Fort arrived in Qingzhou City safely, and the officers and soldiers of Zhongyi's Ninth Battalion entered Wujiao Town. The officers and soldiers of Wujiao Town pushed forward and entered Huai'an Town. In other words, Yanda's subordinates had all joined forces. Zhao Pu's army continued to move forward from the forts in Huanzhou, entering Papaya Fort and Whidinburgh. A small number of officers and soldiers and strong men from Papaya Fort and Whidinburgh retreated to the forts in the rear of Huanzhou to prevent some Murong from being weird again. The army of Zhonggu continued to stay in the Ansai Fort on the west side of the snow-milt fort.

If these marching routes are marked out, it will be like a huge crab stretching out two crab claws, or like a giant python with a big mouth opened.

But Renduoling Ding would not think so. What a joke? The Song Dynasty could have such a good appetite and not be afraid of being overwhelmed to death?

But Rendao Lingding was still very careful. After all, five thousand reinforcements came from Wonju. Now the strength of Huanqing Road has increased, and he vaguely felt something was wrong. Could it be that Lee Fugui's extraordinary performance?

He had to be suspicious that he also knew the truth about the two days of battle in Dashun City and the night attack. He also knew the truth about the rapid suppression of Murong and others in Huanzhou, and knew very much in detail, because Murong Yingfu escaped the layers of arrests of Song Dynasty officers and soldiers, fled to the Snow Mud Fort, and brought the truth about that night.

This shows that there is a smarter person behind the commander.

So he walked around the tent and finally came up with an idea.

Qingzhou private salt was flooded, and many Qingzhou merchants had close contact with the Xixia people. Therefore, while attacking Meili Fort during the day, Renduolingding sent people to ride horses and quickly go back to find some Xixia merchants in Tongzhaichuan, ask them to cooperate, and hand over the managers in their homes who were contacted by the private salt merchants of the Song Dynasty, and then take them back to Huai'an Town. After nightfall, Renduolingding asked these dozen managers to sneak into Qingzhou with the help of the night. Let them each find the private salt merchants they had contacted before and inquire about the actual situation in the city of Qingzhou. Although in this industry, these dozen managers would be in danger, as long as a few people could bring the news back alive, it would be enough.

A dozen managers were all frowning, but there was no way. Their family was all in the back, so they had to obey Renda Lingding's orders and sneak into the night.

In fact, the biggest regret of Xixia this time was that Song Ji and Dudolae felt awkward in their hearts, which made Dudolae unable to communicate with Renduoling Ding, otherwise Renduoling Ding would make some wiser approaches.

Why is it so troublesome? Just send a scout to Ningzhou to inquire about the truth and the truth will come out.

But Renduoling Ding also had negligence. Since the Song Dynasty had sent troops from Yuanzhou to support Huanzhou, why not let the Xia army in Huluchuan pay attention to the Song army in Zhenrong?

The Zhenrong Army also has roads to Huanzhou. Twenty miles east of Qianxing Village is the Heizhaigou in Yuanzhou. What is the place for forty miles ahead? Fan Zhongyan ordered Jiang to build Xiyao City, and surveyed the city to Dingbian Village in Huanzhou 37 miles, reaching the Zhenrong Army to Qianxing Village in the west, and reaching the Liuyuan Town in the south to build the city. The area is far and near. The Banjingchuan in the northeast of Xiyao City is the way to come. If there is a rush to fight, Dingbian Village and Xiyao City must help each other.

This is the real function of Xiyao City. It is not only to control the exchanges between the three tribes of Miezang and Xixia and force them to surrender to the Song Dynasty, but also has two functions, and to cooperate with Dingbianzhai to defend against the invasion of the Western Xia from Banjingchuan to Yuanzhou and Huanzhou. At the same time, it can open up the communications between Yuanzhou, Huanzhou and the three departments of Zhenrong Army.

Heizhaigou is forty miles east, and it is Xiyao City again!

There is another place, Tiansheng Village, Dong Qianxing Village, Xi Gaoping Village, Bei'an Yuanbao, and Guanlan Xiaochuan Caiyuanchuan Thief Road. Xiaochuan is Huluchuan, but the scope of the Song Dynasty's control is only in Gaoping Village north of Zhenrong Juncheng. The rest, including the later Pingxia City, were controlled by the Xixia people. From the later Kuochuan, there was a small river directly to Tiansheng Village, which was called Caiyuanchuan. That is, Xixia can pay attention to the trends of Zhenrong Jun from Caiyuanchuan or Banjingchuan.
