When Yang Shu saw that the Song army ignored him, he scolded and shouted, but he was asking for trouble.

At this time, Liu Qi's younger brother Liu Rui had already led his troops to the southeast of Yinzhou City.

The bright sunshine made the Wuding River sparkle.

People on the boats on the river had no intention of enjoying the spring scenery. They jumped out of the boat in fear, and some lay on the boat shivering.

"First Battalion! Go over there! Crossbowmen ready!"

"The second battalion is the forward!"

"Third Battalion, line up!"

"..."

Liu Rui's rich voice echoed outside the southeast of the city.

The Song troops all looked solemn. After receiving the order, the commander immediately reorganized his camp.

The craftsmen who were repairing the city wall had abandoned their things and fled towards the city.

The Song troops of the first battalion lined up in a long formation, while the forward battalion of the second battalion wore armor, held shields, and held guns, pushing forward.

The Xixia army in the city is also gathering quickly.

The Xia army on the top of the city fired a wave of crossbows first.

The forwards of the Song army immediately set up their shields, and arrows hit the shields, making a dense sound.

The sound of dogs barking and calls from the city could be heard faintly in the distance, and the number of Xia troops on the city tower was increasing.

The forward battalion of the Song Army began to attack. They held shields and quickly pushed all the way to the bottom of the city. Then they climbed up to the area that had not yet been repaired and rushed inside.

Soon, bursts of screams came from the gap, and the two sides started fighting there.

Some people were thrown into the river, and the water was dyed red.

The Xia army launched a tenacious resistance there. Although some people were killed by the Song army, the number of the Xia army was getting larger and larger, and no one retreated.

After half an hour of fighting, the Song army was forced to withdraw.

The Xia army on the tower kept disturbing them with bows and arrows.

As the number of Xia troops increased, it was obviously unwise to attack directly.

Liu Ruiming Jin retreated his troops and began to order people to build trebuchets.

The main armies of Song and Xia faced off here.

Yeli Jingren, the commander-in-chief of the Xia army, sent people out of the city to question Liu Qi.

The envoy who came out said this: "Our two countries have good relations, why do you want to raise troops to attack us? Isn't this a violation of peace?"

Liu Qi said: "You, a small country, have betrayed your trust and used troops against us, the Song Dynasty. How dare you talk about destroying peace?"

The messenger went back and told Yeli Jingren.

Of course Yeli Jingren knew that he was about to send troops to Song Dynasty, but others didn't know it.

Just ten days ago, Yeli Jingren received a secret order from Youzhou, ordering him to go south to raid Suide on March 18th.

This is a secret to prevent the Song State from planting ears and eyes.

These days, he has been preparing food and fodder.

Since it was a surprise attack, it stands to reason that the Song Army could not know.

But why has Song Jun come over now when he hasn't fought yet?

After returning, Yeli Jingren said: "Light the beacon immediately!"

"yes!"

Yeli Jingren was spinning back and forth.

Yang Shu said: "General, the Song army cannot attack for a while. As soon as reinforcements arrive, the Song army will be defeated by a pincer attack from inside and outside!"

Yeli Jingren said impatiently: "I have said long ago that Yinzhou City needs to be repaired! Xingqing Mansion has not allocated money, but now it is better! The Song Army suddenly called!"

"You're talking about going south to raid Suide!" Yeli Jingren was furious, "We haven't even made a sneak attack yet, but they're knocking on our door!"

Yang Shu said: "The Song army is a tired army."

"A tired division?" Nori Kagehito was even more annoyed, "As soon as the tired division came, they sent troops to the southeast wall entrance?"

Yeli Jingren sighed: "Fortunately, it will take time for the Song army to build siege equipment. I hope the reinforcements can arrive in time to launch a double-sided attack!"

The engineering battalion of the Song Army was busy day and night.

Two days later, on March 17, Zhou Jian, commander of the Song Army's engineering battalion, reported to Liu Qi: "Liu Shuai, sixty trebuchets have been completed, and there are fifty ladders."

Liu Qi finished the remaining rice in big gulps, slammed his chopsticks on the table, and said, "It's built so quickly?"

"Please review it with Liu Shuai!"

Liu Qi went out for a review with great interest.

He also didn't expect the engineering battalion to move so fast.

It seems that those transferred from Tokyo Institute of Technology are indeed more professional than the ordinary people in the past.

The engineer battalion is the current standard structure of the Song Army, and all of them are professional soldiers.

Not only are they more professional, they have stronger mobility, and are better equipped, they can also serve as a reserve team at any time during wartime.

"Now that the construction is complete, let's attack the city without further delay!"

Yeli Jingren, who was drinking in the city, heard the sound of war drums coming from outside the city and asked: "What's going on?"

Not long after, the messenger ran in: "General, the Song Army has attacked the city."

"Siege the city?" Yeli Jingren asked doubtfully, "The Song army has only been here for two days, how can they attack the city?"

But the drums did get louder and louder.

A series of trebuchets dropped Zhentian Lei on the city wall and exploded, causing the Xia army to hide in Tibet and causing chaos.

Not long after, goose carts connected with ladders were pushed from the front. The Song army hid inside. When the ladders hit the top of the city, the Song army began to climb up.

"Report! The Song army has a large number of trebuchets and ladders!"

Yeli Jingren was shocked and shouted: "This is impossible! The Song Army has just arrived two days ago, how could there be a large number of trebuchets and ladders! Do you mean that the Song Army's trebuchets and ladders have legs and follow them?

Going all the way from Suide to Yinzhou?"

No one answered Nori Kagehito's question.

But now the Song army has many more trebuchets and ladders.

These trebuchets and ladders of the Song Army are not big, and they are incomparable with the large trebuchets and ladders used by Wanyan Zonghan to attack the powerful cities of Taiyuan and Tokyo.

But attacking Yinzhou is enough.

Logically speaking, Yinzhou should have a majestic city for such an important location.

But the greatest strength of the Xixia people is fighting in mountain warfare, traveling through mountains and rivers, ambushing, or using cavalry to fight mobile warfare.

But building and defending cities are really not their strengths. The funds may be limited, so all the money they can use is placed in Xingqing Prefecture and Xiping Prefecture.

The Xia army in the city was forced to detach a part from the southeast corner and send support to other places. The pressure of the Song army in the southeast corner suddenly decreased.

In the afternoon, the Song Army's vanguard troops climbed up to the northern city wall, which was quickly controlled by the Song Army.

As evening approached, corpses were piled up in the southeastern gap, including corpses of Song soldiers and Xixia people, and the river was completely dyed red.

The Xia army, which was stubbornly resisting, retreated like a tide and fled into the city.

Liu Rui struck a Xia army centurion on the forehead with an axe, making a sound like chopping firewood, and blood and brains spurted out.

The centurion's expression froze, he twitched a few times in pain, and then fell to the ground.

All the obstacles in the southeast corner were smashed by the Song army, and the soldiers roared and rushed inside.

Military achievements and food are all in it.

In just three days, Yinzhou was captured by the Song army.
Chapter completed!
