The Xixia soldiers flooded into Yongzhou City. This time, countless scaling ladders were finally placed on the battlements.
Li Xianjian revealed an arrogant expression and a sinister smile.
How could a small city like Yongzhou City withstand the full force attack of a hundred and fifty thousand soldiers?
After breaking through the city, they had to capture General Song, who was surnamed Yue, alive. Li Xianjian turned around and ordered the messenger to beat the drum fiercely, trying to take Yongzhou City in two hours.
"General, the Song soldiers are pouring something down the city.”A deputy general beside Li Xianjian shouted.
"What is it?"
"It's too far away to tell. General, be careful.”
"Don't worry, what tricks can there be! Ridiculous to the extreme. Pass down my order and attack with all your might! Those who retreat will die!"
"…Yes! General."
……
In the Hall of Heroes, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, and Wen Yanbo were all quarreling.
Zhao Xu couldn't be bothered with them. These civil officials couldn't be relied on to strategize. The Bureau of Military Affairs Envoy Lu Hua Cheng and Minister of War Yu Hui were helpless and could only stare blankly.
The assistant minister of the Ministry of War and the staff of the Personnel Division were busy looking at the map.
It had been a long time since the Great Song had experienced war. The status of generals had not been valued for decades, and civil officials suppressed generals everywhere.
Once the war started, the entire imperial court would be in chaos. Zhao Xu shook his head and ordered the ministers to come up with a plan to defeat the enemy.
Of course, Zhao Xu didn't believe that these weak Confucians could do it.
Zhao Xu turned around and returned to the royal study, ordering no one to disturb him. Then, he opened the system map in his mind.
……
On Yongzhou City, Yue Fei's fierce general Niu Gao commanded the soldiers to fiercely pour oil, tung oil, vegetable oil…anything that could be lit was poured down.
"Attack!" Yue Fei personally waved the red flag.
Dozens of rockets flew toward the moat with blue exhaust flames…
Instantly, the entire moat was set ablaze. The fire was fierce, and the northwest wind blew.
The fire at the city gate immediately cut off the follow-up troops of the Western Xia.
And the Xixia soldiers who had already climbed up the city walls became slaughtered lambs under the Yue Family Army's partial advantage.
The Xixia soldiers who were climbing the ladder were burned into skewers.
Before Li Xianjian could react to the sudden change in the war, the entire Xixia army had already lost its organizational structure.
According to his orders, the Xixia soldiers had no retreat.
The Song army's bows and crossbows on the city gate rained down like a storm, covering the sky and the sun. The Xixia soldiers fell in rows.
On the city tower, Zhang Xian knelt down on one knee and asked for battle.
"General Yue! Can we charge now?"
"There's no hurry. We should kill more while the Xixia soldiers are still charging. Zhang Xian, Suzhou City has been breached. Defending General Zheng Shuhai has fled.”
"General Yue, this is too dangerous, this general will not agree!”
"This is a military order! Carry it out!"
After saying that, Yue Fei suddenly handed the flag to the soldier beside him. He had already walked seven or eight meters away.
Below the city, the area beside the moat was burned to death. Countless Xixia soldiers were killed by the crossbows, and the fire began to subside.
The opportunity was fleeting, Yue Fei would never miss any opportunity.
The west gate was wide open, and Yue Fei rode with a long spear in his hand, taking the lead.
"Brothers of the Yue Family Army, charge with me and kill all the Dangxiang! Charge!"
Yue Fei raised his arm and shouted, and the Song army on the city walls and below the city walls became excited.
At this stage of the battle, tactics were no longer important. What was important was to be fearless and to win.
The Song soldiers on the city wall put down their bows and changed to spears. They didn't even hold their shields and followed Yue Fei into the enemy's formation.
Zhao Xu saw from the system's mini-map that Yue Fei had chosen Li Xianjian as the charging area. Li Xianjian had already discovered that the Song army was charging at him.
The number one general of Xixia, Li Xianjian, was about to organize his own troops to stop them when he realized that the entire Xixia army was in chaos. Although they had many soldiers, they had no soldiers to use.
Li Xianjian didn't run away in a hurry. Otherwise, it would be a disgrace to his reputation as the number one general. He pulled out his saber and pointed it at the sky.
The hot-bloodedness of the grassland people made him instantly decide to have a showdown with the Song general who was charging at his main tent.
Soon, the two cavalry clashed. Yue Fei's spear and Li Jianmin's saber collided, and sparks flew everywhere.
Li Jianmin was shocked. Blood had already flowed out of his thumb and forefinger, and the white bones between his fingers were exposed. He had no intention of fighting anymore. Just then, a group of bodyguards arrived, and he hurriedly fled.
After Yue Fei killed three Xixia soldiers with his spear, he saw that Li Xianjian had already escaped more than ten feet. He immediately took off the bow and arrow on his shoulder.
" Shua-shua-shua "--three arrows.
One arrow took off Li Xianjian's helmet, another arrow killed Li Xianjian's mount, and the third arrow landed on Li Xianjian's head.
At this moment, the Xixia soldiers had already surrounded them and blocked Yue Fei's charge.
"Save General Li, retreat! Retreat quickly!"
The deputy general of the Xixia soldiers shouted.
With their absolute advantage in numbers, the Xixia soldiers brought Li Xianjian and retreated 60 miles from Yongzhou City.
Yue Fei gave the order to stop the pursuit. The Song army stopped their pursuit, but they did not return to the city. Instead, they led 10,000 troops to the west to receive Zhang Xian, who had set out to rescue Suzhou.
……
In the Hall of Heroes, Zhao Xu stood up from the royal study and came to the minister.
"There is no need to plan. I expect that you will not be able to come up with an idea. There is no need to send reinforcements.”
