Chapter 389 The Battle of Mizhi

As soon as the Xixia cavalry came out, they swept towards the grain transport team like a strong wind.

The grain transport team suddenly panicked, and the Xiang troops and Turkish troops escorting nearby immediately shouted: "There are enemies!"

One by one, the Song soldiers drew their swords and quickly lined up.

But it was obviously too late. As soon as the Xixia cavalry rushed up, they tore apart the fragile defenses of these Xiang and Tu troops.

The head was spinning in the air, and blood was pouring from it.

Those transporting people turned around and ran away in panic.

But they obviously can't escape.

The few people who were chatting just now had no time to escape. The Xixia cavalry who rushed up had their heads chopped off with long knives and stabbed through the chest. Their heads were smashed by the meteor hammer spinning in the air. They fell to the ground and became

body.

The Song archers in front fired arrows here, and occasionally they could hit a cavalry, but it did not affect the Xixia cavalry's harvest of life.

The iron hoofs shook the ground, and the Xixia cavalry laughed unbridledly amidst the panic and screams of the Song people while quickly slashing and killing, as if they were in a deserted land.

Even the Song people on the Wuding River transport boat were shot by the densely packed bows and arrows of the Xixia cavalry, and fell into the river one after another.

All resistance was torn to pieces, and countless people screamed and ran away in despair.

Within two-quarters of an hour, the news of the raid on the grain transport team reached Funing Village and quickly spread to the Battle of Mi.

The arrival of the Xixia people was so sudden that they obscured the eyes and ears of the Song army's scouts, which shocked the newly built Funing Village.

Funing Village immediately ordered all soldiers and civilians to be recalled to the city, and sent a large number of scouts to closely explore the whereabouts of the Xixia people.

However, just half an hour after the Song Dynasty's grain transport team was attacked, Fei Tingrongju's army was already pressing towards Funing Village in a mighty manner.

The Song army standing at the head of Funing Walled City could see the vast army on the plains to the left of the mountains in front of them, like a rolling river, pressing in towards them.

The flags are like clouds, covering the sky.

The iron hoofs of the war horses hit the ground, mixed with the footsteps of countless soldiers, and resounded throughout the mountains and fields.

The Song troops at the head of Funing Village all took a breath of cold air. There were at least tens of thousands of troops!

Where did so many people come from?

Fei Tingrongju was so high-spirited that he led 50,000 elite troops to Funing Village and sent envoys to persuade them to surrender.

The envoy was obviously a Han Chinese. He said in standard Northwest Chinese: "One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers of Great Xia are here. If the people in the city surrender, they will not be killed. Otherwise, they will be shot without mercy!"

What responded to him was a dense barrage of crossbow arrows.

Before the messenger could react, he was shot with more than twenty arrows and fell off his horse on the spot.

A voice came from the top of the city: "People are here in the city! I would rather die than surrender!"

Fei Tingrongju was furious: "Attack the city!"

The war drums of the Xixia people sounded, and the mighty army began to press towards Funing Village with ladders in hand.

Half an hour later, countless urgent military reports fell on the desk of Li Yongqi, the commander of Mizhi Village.

The Xixia army is coming!

The news has spread, and the battle clouds are gathering in Mizhi Village.

Countless messages told Li Yongqi that the Xixia people had completely surrounded Funing Village.

"Father! The Western bandits must have come over the mountains from here! Our army should immediately send troops to assist Funing Village!"

The person who broke into the meeting of the generals was a twenty-one-year-old young man. He had a fair face, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a tall and straight posture, and a sharp tone of voice when he spoke.

Li Yongqi was furious: "Why are you here? This is where the generals discuss matters!"

"Father! Please give me six thousand men and horses. I am willing to fight to the death against the Western bandits! Li Shifu said proudly.

"There are tens of thousands of bandits coming from the West. How can you repel six thousand of them?"

"Victory with bravery!"

The generals looked at each other and laughed, obviously not believing the young man's boast.

Li Yongqi said to his son unceremoniously: "You want to show off your recklessness?"

"The general is willing to guarantee it with his head!"

"Exchange my six thousand athletes with your head! Even if you are my son, you will never do it! Get out!"

"Father!"

"go out!"

As soon as Li Shifu went out, the scouts reporting the news came.

"Report! General, Funing Village has been attacked by Western thieves!"

This emergency military report shocked everyone.

Li Yongqi immediately said: "Recall everyone quickly, and Mizhi Village will be on guard to the death!"

"yes!"

"The generals will follow me out to prepare their troops and armor in preparation for a deadly battle with the Western bandits!"

Everyone stood up: "Yes!"

When he went out, Li Yongqi glanced at his son who was standing there unwillingly and said, "Go and prepare quickly!"

"yes!"

In the afternoon, corpses were piled under the Funing Walled City, and half of the city wall was stained red with blood.

I can still vaguely hear someone scolding: "Western thieves! You have been ungrateful to the Song Dynasty in this life! You will not die well!"

Not long after, the head of Wang Han, the general guarding Funing Village, was hung on the gate of Funing Village.

Hanging up with him, there were thirty heads of officers of all sizes.

After capturing Funing Village, Fei Tingrongju immediately became more confident: "As I expected, the walled city built here by the Song people in a short period of time is vulnerable to attack. The generals listened to my orders and advanced quickly.

Close to Mizhi Village!"

"yes!"

On the evening of the tenth day of May, after the attack on Funing Village, the main Xixia army moved non-stop towards Mizhi Village.

The sky slowly turned blue-black, and the mighty Xixia army appeared in the sight of the Song army in Mizhi Village before dark.

Repeating the old trick, Fei Tingrongju sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender, but the envoy was still rained with arrows.

Seeing such a scene, the Xixia army even thought that the good show in Funing Village would be repeated in Mizhi Village.

Fei Tingrongju said: "The army is reorganized and we will attack the city early tomorrow morning!"

On May 11th, before dawn, the news that the Xixia army had circled to the rear reached Yinzhou.

After reading the military report, Liu Qi frowned.

He asked: "When will Wang Shu's soldiers and horses arrive at Mizhi Village?"

"Said it will arrive in five days."

"Five more days!" Liu Qi couldn't help but get angry, "We've been gone for two months!"

Liu Rui said: "Should we, General Mo, send all our troops to support Mizhi Village?"

"Don't make any moves for the time being. The main force of Xixia will definitely inspect Yinzhou closely."

"What if Mizhi Village..."

"Li Yongqi is also a strong general. I have seen his son, who is as good as his father." Liu Qi said, "Just wait for Wang Shu's reinforcements to arrive. As long as the follow-up reinforcements arrive, the crisis will be solved."

"yes!"

In the early morning of May 11th, it was still muggy, and the thick clouds in the sky seemed to be pressing down.

The Xixia army formed a formation outside the city and spread out.

The sound of war drums broke the tranquility of the early morning.

Early in the morning, the Song troops from Mizhi Village had already marched onto the city in droves. They were wearing armor, carrying shields, and had thunder, fire oil, and iron caltrops.

Suddenly a cry came from the Xixia army: "Surrender without killing!"

Although it was a party language, it was full of murderous intent and full of momentum, reverberating between heaven and earth.

After half an hour, the horns of the Xixia army began to sound.

Groups of Xixia elite infantry advanced neatly towards Mizhi Village, and the ground seemed to tremble under their feet.

The horns of the Song Army also sounded from the top of Mizhi Village.

Teams of crossbowmen appeared behind the battlements.
