The border between Dayan and Xixia is desolate and remote, isolated by Yurong Mountain, and surrounded by a small town called Lingcheng.
Due to the news about the iron ore being dug out in Yurong Mountain, there have been many people from other places in Lingcheng recently, and even from the surrounding small countries, all wanting to try their luck to see if they can find another iron ore.
The people in Lingcheng were poor. There were only a few food stores and clothing stores in the city, and there were no jewelry sellers.
After all, people here can’t afford it.
The soldiers of Xixia gathered under Lingcheng, looking at the dilapidated city gate with disgust in their eyes, but thinking that if they occupied Lingcheng today, they could use it as a stronghold to rush in and capture the great Yan capital.
Thinking of this, everyone's faces were filled with excitement.
"Brothers, massacre the city!"
It's just a small town. If you kill these people, the town will belong to them.
"yes!"
The voices of thousands of people were loud, like thunder, and the sharp weapons were unsheathed and emitted a dazzling light under the sunlight.
Before the people in the city could react, they saw a group of tough Xixia people rushing in with weapons raised.
For a time, the city was in chaos, and cries for help resounded throughout the sky.
"Hurry and report to the county magistrate that there is an enemy invasion!"
"Don't kill me, I still have an old mother, wife and children at home..."
It's just that the words of these people are destined to be swallowed. The Xixia people are cruel and bloodthirsty, especially with sharp weapons, they are unstoppable and unstoppable.
These weak people became lambs to be slaughtered in their eyes, one in each hand. Soon the streets of Lingcheng became rivers of blood, and the smell of blood floated out for two miles.
Guo Zhao and others looked at the mausoleum city in front of them, with blood blowing in the wind and the constant sounds of killing, and everyone's faces were solemn.
They pulled the reins tightly, exerted all their strength, clamped their legs on the horse's belly, and shouted in a low voice.
"Faster!"
The speed of the war horses has reached its limit. They have been rushing day and night since they came out of the military camp, but they did not expect to arrive late.
Murderous intent surged in the hearts of everyone, these barbarians, they will definitely make them pay for the lives of the people in Lingcheng!
When they finally entered the city, corpses were lying all over the city. The dead people's eyes were wide open, with fear and strong hatred in their eyes, which made everyone feel uncomfortable.
A rough man next to Guo Zhao slammed the tassel gun in his hand on the ground and cursed through gritted teeth.
"Damn it, even if I risk my life today, I still have to kill this son of a bitch from Xixia!"
They, a group of such heartless people, dared to massacre the city. Even when the late emperor was still there, Dayan and Xixia were at constant war, but there had never been a massacre of the city.
This also shows that Tuoba Mingge was very ambitious and his methods were a hundred times more brutal than that of the King of Xixia.
Xixia was blessed with powerful weapons, and the hundreds of them only had five gunpowder packets in their hands. Time was tight and they had not had time to test the power of the gunpowder. They were dubious about Jiang Miao's words. This time, everyone came with the hope of death.
Although they can't compare with Xixia's weapons, they are not afraid of death, so they need to pull more people to support them.
Guo Zhao looked at the brothers around him who were furious. He clenched the black knife in his hand and quickly pulled it out of the scabbard.
"Lead them outside the city. This is not a suitable place for detonating gunpowder."
Although there were heavy casualties in Lingcheng, there were still hidden civilians. Jiang Miao knew that they might not have time to test the gunpowder, so she specifically explained in the letter how wide the impact would be if it exploded. They must be cleared and the safety of her own people must be ensured.
.
Guo Zhao has kept it in mind, and now it's time to try it out.
"yes!"
Except for the five men who took gunpowder, the other soldiers rushed in with weapons.
The people in the city, who were desperately waiting for death, looked at the Yan army coming on horseback, their eyes suddenly lit up, they tightly held the hands of their companions, and their lips trembled with excitement.
"Reinforcements are coming... We are saved..."
"Ha! It's just a fool's errand. Just these people are no match for us!"
The Xixia army in front of them smiled wildly. The sword in their hands was covered with blood. Blood drops fell down the sword body and soon formed a river below.
"It just so happens that I won't kill you first, but I will let you watch with your own eyes how I take the heads of Dayan soldiers!"
As he said this, he laughed and turned around, waving his sword at the Dayan soldiers.
The officers and soldiers of Dayan all remembered Guo Zhao's words. The most important thing at the moment was to maintain their physical strength and lead them out of the city first.
It was too late, then it was too late. Looking at the Xixia people rushing towards them, Dayan's soldiers quickly turned their horses and rushed straight out of the city.
The Xixia people chasing behind were a little confused, but the next moment they turned into wild laughter.
"Hahahahaha! I didn't expect that you Dayan people are all cowardly cowards. Before I even took action, you were so scared that you pissed your pants and ran away. Such cowards are not worthy of being my opponents. I think you should surrender obediently!
"
Seeing such a scene, the light in the eyes of the people who were originally full of hope dimmed.
Are they really going to die this time?
The big man next to Guo Zhao pouted behind him, with provocation in his tone.
"I think the city is too small to do anything. If you little bastards are brave, follow me outside the city and see if I don't kill you all!"
While he was talking, he was making strange expressions, and all kinds of obscene words came out of his mouth, arousing the anger of the Xixia people to the highest level.
"General, my subordinates are willing to lead people to kill them. The Yan people are acting rampantly and dare to slander the king and the prince. If I don't kill him, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in my subordinates' hearts!"
"Yes, General, my subordinates are also willing to lead people to kill!"
Guo Zhao's soldiers were all agile in their movements. Although most of them suffered casualties, they were not serious. In a short time, they had arrived at the city gate and were about to leave.
Everyone was not as relaxed as they seemed, and the hands holding the reins were sweating, for fear that the Xixia people would not take the bait.
Fortunately, the general who led the troops was arrogant. Feeling that he was outnumbered, and with the help of weapons, he rushed out with his men.
"Then as you wish! Kill!"
Seeing thousands of Xixia troops rushing out, Guo Zhao gave the five people a look and gestured to the remaining people to move to the outer circle, just in time to surround the Xixia people inside.
Xixia is good at fighting. This group of people had already killed them. Seeing the Dayan people scattering in all directions, there was ridicule in their eyes.
"If you still want to escape, you should die!"
However, when they all came out, they saw Guo Zhao giving an order.
"ignition!"
All five gunpowder bags were ignited, and the sound of burning was spread to the crowd with the sound of wind. Five gunpowder bags were thrown in, and one of the Xixia people frowned.
"What is this? Are the people of Dayan trying to use this thing to set fire to us and burn us to death? I'm afraid it's not just wishful thinking!"
