Chapter 255 All-line Attack

In the previous attack, the defenders of the Xixia Hengshan defense line have never figured out what tricks Liangshan people and horses are playing?

However, Yue Fei secretly transported the artillery to the mountain while constantly paralysing the defenders of Hengshan and disguised them well.

In ancient times, it was impossible to use clocks to synchronize actions as in modern times, but the scouts sent by Liang Shan in front of them were like meteors, sending the latest war report ahead to Yue Fei without stopping. Yue Fei can be said to know the situation ahead very well.

After Li Qianjing's three-day siege ended in failure, Yue Fei was keenly aware that Li Ren'ai was going to launch the final counterattack.

Yue Fei believes that for this counterattack, Li Renai has been recuperating for a long time, so once it is launched, it will be overwhelming, so that Li Qianjing has no power to fight back.

Then this is the time for Liang Shan's army to go out. This plan has been studied repeatedly by Song Qing and Yue Fei for a long time, and it is foolproof to include all kinds of possible situations.

Just when Li Ren'ai completely defeated Li Qianjing and began to collect people to clean up the battlefield, Luoyang Liang's palace sent a crusade against Xixia to the whole world.

The general idea is that Xixia's land was originally cut out by the chaotic ministers on the middle original map. Today, the Lord of Xia has no way, killed his father to usurp the throne, and it is difficult to tolerate. In order to save the people from the deep fire and eradicate the treacherous sycophants for the sky, King of Liang will revitalize millions of righteous divisions, fight against Xia Lord, and recover the Central Plains territory that has been ceded since the Later Tang Dynasty.

Accompanying this article was a comprehensive attack on the defense lines in Xixia. The Hengshan defense line, which had been sawed for nearly a month, became fragile under the sudden bombardment of hundreds of artillery, and the whole line was broken in less than a day.

The long-standing Liangshan army rushed into the border of Western Xia from all directions like a tide and advanced towards Xingqing Prefecture.

When Li Ren'ai received the news, the defense line on the border of Xixia had been completely broken through. In desperation, Li Ren'ai edicted the military divisions to send them to the king of troops. On the other hand, he organized the defeated soldiers left behind by Li Qianjing and strengthened the walls, intending to rely on the strong city to fight a war of attrition with Liangshan.

If he can really take the war into winter, he is even sure to fight back, but only if he can defend the city.

At this time, located on the ancient road of the Yellow River outside Xipingfu City, nearly a thousand large and small ships have been formed into a water village. There are not only 20,000 Liangshan army, but also the only 5,000 Mongolian warriors left in Tuoli.

The break-up of the Hengshan defense line forced the defenders from all over Xixia to shrink the defense line, give up some small towns, and focus their forces on several big cities.

Xipingfu can be described as the south gate of Xingqingfu. There are 50,000 horses stationed here, all of which are the elites in the Xixia army. However, due to Liangshan people coming from the water, they can't use their strength. The defenders of Xipingfu tried to attack several times, but after no success, the cat refused to come out of the city.

Li Jun knew very well that the Xixia army wanted to lure himself to send troops ashore so that their cavalry could be useful. Of course, he won't be fooled by this, but if he stays here all the time, won't he see that the credit has been taken away by others? Then why did you come here by taking thousands of miles around Lanzhou?

So after Yan Qing and Tuoli arrived, Li Gong pestered Yan Qing and had to find a way to do something and make some credit.

In fact, Yan Qing knew very well that the role of Song Qing arranging Li Jun's 20,000 navy here was mainly to deter, so that the defenders of Xipingfu did not dare to act rashly, but did not want to rely on them to pick up the strong city.

However, Yanqing also felt that what Li Kun said was reasonable. If he couldn't do something and make some contributions, wouldn't he let Yue Fei, who joined Liangshan, compare?

It's easy to imagine. Now there are only 30,000 people around me. If you want to take down the city guarded by 50,000 people, it's almost like a dream. What should I do?

The biggest characteristic of Liangshan's hero is that he is bold. In those years, Yan Qing, Li Kui and others dared to make trouble in Tokyo alone. Now that the soldiers are strong, will they still be embarrassed by a small Xiping Mansion?

And in two days at most, Yue Fei's army will arrive, and it will not be their turn at that time. So before Yue Fei and the others arrive, they must do something.

After Yan Qing, Li Qian, Li Kui and others gathered together to study, at midnight that night, a team of about 3,000 Liangshan soldiers quietly touched the shore and sneaked to Xiping Mansion.

Because Liangshan is close at hand, the defenders of Xiping Mansion are very alert, especially near the wall on the side of the Yellow River. Before the Liangshan Army approached the city wall, it was found by the sentry and an alarm was sounded.

The horn of the alarm quickly resounded over Xiping Mansion, but because it was too dark, the defenders were afraid of ambush, so they were only nervously alert and did not send troops to fight.

Seeing that it was discovered by the defenders, Liang Shanshui Army simply did not stop shouting and killing, and at the same time knocked the offensive drums to the sky.

After tossing around, the defenders suddenly realized that Liangshan did not come to attack the city at all, but to make trouble. Although he figured it out, he still did not dare to take it lightly and closely monitored the movement of Liangshan people and horses.

Liang Shanren and Ma may be tired of tossing, or maybe some purpose has not been achieved. After shouting for a while, they finally retreated.

The defenders of Xiping Mansion thought they could stop sleeping this time, but after a long time, the shouting of killing sounded again. It's the same as before. It's dry thunder and won't rain.

Xiping's garrison is really angry this time. Is there such a scoundrel? Do you want to fight or not, the ghost will cry all night and let people sleep?

Opening the gate, 10,000 iron riders killed them in the direction of Liangshan people shouting, but before they had gone far, the sound of explosions came one after another.

Xiping's general suddenly understood that Liangshan people used the cover of the night to lay mines around Xiping! In this way, how can your cavalry exert its power?

In a hurry, the general quickly brought back the man who had been blown up. In this way, no matter how noisy Liangshan people and horses are outside the city, he refuses to send troops out of the city.

Of course, Yan Qing's trick is more than that, and he does not have a big mask to lay mines. One is that the mines brought are limited and must be used in appropriate places. In addition, Liangshan's army is about to drive over. In case he is trampled on by his own people, he will become a sinner for thousands of years.

With the ability of Liangshan people, if you want to sneak close to the city wall, how can you be found? All this was just arranged by Yan Qing and others in advance.

Just as the attention of the Xiping defenders was focused on the wall near the Yellow River, Yan Qing and Li Jun had personally led people to guard explosives at several other gates.

Although Yan Qing and others are bold enough, they are not crazy at all. They will not use the lives of 20,000 sailor brothers to exchange for a city that will be taken down sooner or later.

But if Xiping Mansion is turned into an undefenable city, will it be much more convenient for the army behind to fight?

At dawn, the noisy Liangshan people and horses finally stopped in the middle of the night. After watching with pandas for a while, they were sure that there were no more Liangshan people nearby, so they were ready to go down to the city to find a place to rest.

At this moment, after a dull sound, the Xixia soldiers guarding the city suddenly felt their feet shake, and then slipped down with the collapsed city wall. And this situation is also happening at the other two gates at the same time. Countless Western Xia soldiers were buried under the ruins of the city wall.

Xixia people are not ignorant of gunpowder, but they can be used so well that there is no one else except Liang Shan.

After the smoke and dust dissipated, Xipingfu City, which was originally heavily fortified, suddenly turned into an undefensed city that could be easily entered and exited.

Seeing this scene, the Liangshan Army, who was watching far away on the bank of the Yellow River, immediately burst into shocking cheers.

The general of Xipingfu is also stupid. Do you still fight like this? The four walls collapsed on three sides. Even if they start to repair them now, they don't want to repair them before the Liangshan army arrives. What's more, there are a group of night owl-like Liangshan soldiers in front of them. It's strange that they are willing to let themselves repair the wall at ease. It seems that Xiping Mansion can't be defended.

The general was also straightforward, immediately collected the rest of the people, and then retreated to Xingqing Mansion.

Xixia is different from the Central Plains, and it often takes a long distance to see the villages and towns, so the fall of Xiping Mansion made Xingqing Mansion completely exposed to Liangshan's army.

It didn't take long for the Xiping garrison to withdraw, and the 5,000 vanguard battalion arrived.

Gao Chong is a general, but not a handsome talent, so although he has bravely penetrated the three armies and is famous, he has never led alone. He is very self-aknowledged about this and has never made a fuss about this.

Now Song Qing praises him from time to time that he is much more mature, and he can definitely stand alone in time. After this battle, Song Qing will transfer him to Zhending and Lin Chong to prepare for the war in the north.

Gao Chong has arrived, and it is obvious that the army is behind. Yan Qing, Li Jun and others are bold. After discussing with Gao Chong, the two men advanced both land and water and drove to Xingqing Mansion.

Xingqing Prefecture is also located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, which can be reached along the river.

As soon as he arrived from the high-favored man and horse, his eyes did not leave the high-favorite army.

The tough breath and strict military appearance all shocked his heart and made him feel that he did not suppress the wrong treasure. Convinced that if you can get the help of such a group of people, who else can be his opponent on the grassland?

What frightened him more was the unpredictable gunpowder, which he had also seen, but compared with Liangshan's firearm, it was simply a child's toy.

Toli secretly decided to have a good relationship with Liangshan's generals and try to get a batch of such firearms back.

Yue Fei's army took the Hengshan defense line, Yang Yizhong mainly attacked the direction of Xiazhou, and Hua Rong mainly attacked Xiliangfu.

Both Yue Fei and Yang Yizhong went well, but Hua Rong encountered trouble. The trouble did not come from the Xixia people, but from Liangshan's friendly troops and Tubo people.

The Tubo army, which had always wanted to deal with the matter, saw that Liangshan's army had been hiding, so they also waved their troops into Xixia like chicken blood. Obviously, they also wanted to get a piece of the pie.
