While in Yangcheng, in order to consume Xixia's national power and disrupt the Xixia rear, Long Chen named Zhu Yong the General of the Western Expedition and Hu Jie the General of the Valiant Cavalry.
After the two armies left, Long Chen ignored them and only occasionally received military reports from them.
Long Chen didn't care about their weapons, food, or life, but he didn't expect that they would actually come to meet the troops.
"Oh? Where?"
Although I came a little late, it is always good to have more people.
"Over there, they brought 100,000 soldiers and horses."
As soon as Hu Jie finished speaking, he saw Zhu Yong and Hu Jie coming with a group of generals.
"The general will pay homage to King Wu!"
Zhu Yong and Hu Jie dismounted their horses at the same time.
After several months of fighting, Zhu Yong's temperament has changed. He is no longer a farm owner, but a general with a murderous spirit.
"The last general, Zhao Jing, pays homage to King Wu!"
"The last general Xue Ping pays homage to King Wu!"
When Zhu Yong was first conferred the title of General of the Conquest of the West, Long Chen was afraid that Zhu Yong would be too incompetent, so he appointed cavalry colonel Zhao Jing and infantry colonel Xue Ping to assist him.
"Okay, you will assist General Zhu to go deep behind the enemy lines and achieve great achievements. After returning to the capital, I will present him to the emperor."
The two were overjoyed when they heard this and said, "Thank you, King Wu!"
Long Chen said to Zhu Yong: "General Zhu is no longer a wealthy official, he has become a real general."
Zhu Yong smiled and said: "Ashamed, thank you King Wu for sending two captains to assist, otherwise I would have died several times."
Zhu Yong did not know how to fight. If it were not for the help of Zhao Ying and Xue Ping, he would have been destroyed by the Xixia army.
Long Chen said to Hu Jie: "General Hu has worked hard, and I am very pleased to have our troops here today."
"Xingqing City has been destroyed, and only the palace city remains. You arrived in time."
Hu Jie said sheepishly: "What a shame. We should have arrived during the decisive battle at Bailang Mountain, but unfortunately we were blocked in Shacheng to the north."
"Hurry up and hurry up. If you don't even catch up with yesterday's battle, you will be ashamed in the end."
Long Chen smiled and said: "As long as we catch up to the final battle, let the brothers seize the time to rest. When they are rested, we will start the attack."
Long Chen had no intention of fighting Shi Lemoji. The Long family army suffered little loss in the battle last night and had sufficient combat power. With the addition of these 100,000 reinforcements, a 600,000-strong army was enough to attack the city.
Zhu Yong and Hu Jie took the order and immediately went down to rest.
Zhang Qian rode over and whispered: "Husband, Shi Jingxiang has left. She said she would go back to Xifeng City first."
Long Chen nodded and said: "At first she hated Shi Le for not redeeming her, and then she hated Queen Lu for killing her biological mother."
"She originally wanted to question Shi Le and Queen Lu when she came here, but she may have figured it out now."
Xixia was about to perish, and questioning was meaningless. Shi Jingxiang put aside her grudges.
Zhang Qian said: "That's fine, save the money."
Long Chen nodded and glanced east.
Killing Shi Le in front of Shi Jingxiang is a bit unjustifiable after all.
"Have a good rest and attack the city in the afternoon."
Long Chen gave the order and Zhang Qian immediately went to prepare.
On the city.
Shi Le saw the reinforcements brought by Zhu Yong and Hu Jie and cursed angrily: "Why did Daxia die? It was at the hands of these traitors!"
Lu Qichang remained silent
The reason why Zhu Yong and Hu Jie betrayed was because of Qiuzitang.
"All soldiers must have the consciousness to fight to the death!"
Shi Le reprimanded the generals around him loudly, but all the soldiers remained silent.
"Incorporate them into the army and treat them as soldiers!"
Shi Le pointed to the 11 princes, and Le Min immediately arranged for them to join the army and defend the city together with other soldiers.
The sun was setting in the west, and the army was cooking on the spot in the city.
After having a full meal, 600,000 troops surrounded the palace. The defenders inside the palace looked outside with timidity in their hearts.
Long Chen was wearing armor and standing outside the south gate, followed by Wu Jian, Zhang Qian, Wu Chuchu, Dugu Jiali and others.
The main entrance of Xixia's palace faces south, and entering from the south gate is the main hall.
Gongsun Linglong held two lion hammers and said: "You can rest, Shi Le has lost one of his arms, we can deal with it."
Long Chen was seriously injured last night, and fighting again would be bad for his health. It was rare for Gongsun Linglong to be considerate.
Wu Jian also advised: "Sir, please rest. I estimate that our 600,000-strong army will be able to break through in less than half an hour."
Long Chen nodded and said: "That's good. After we break into the palace, all the books in the royal study will be protected and transported back to the capital."
Wu Jian said: "Understood!"
Long Chen was riding on horseback, raised his head and pointed at the soldiers on the city and said: "It's not too late to surrender now, this is the last chance!"
On the palace wall, a prince shot a cold arrow at Long Chen, and Wu Jian raised his sword and swung it away.
The prince pointed at Long Chen and cursed: "You are a slave of a eunuch. When you succeed, you become rampant. I swear to kill you!"
Next to him, Gongsun Linglong was furious and cursed: "You young bastard, I'll beat you to death!"
Long Chen pointed his hand, and Mei Yu's artillery fired first.
Dozens of cannons fiercely bombarded the palace gate, and the gate studded with brass nails was smashed to pieces.
When the cannon sounded, the surrounding armies attacked the city at the same time.
A siege ladder was set up on the wall, and 600,000 army ants were attached to it. The soldiers on the palace city immediately fired arrows to fight back.
Under the bombardment of artillery, the Nangong Gate was quickly destroyed. Gongsun Linglong was the first to enter the palace gate with an awl, and Wu Jian led his troops to enter personally.
Long Chen followed slowly behind him on horseback. Bai Tingting did not rush to kill, but protected Long Chen.
The army poured in, 600,000 against 50,000, and the military advantage was completely overwhelmed.
Gongsun Linglong rushed into the city, killed a dozen of them with a hammer, and then rode up to the city wall. When the soldiers saw Gongsun Linglong, they hurriedly besieged them together.
The spear pierced the neck of the war horse. Gongsun Linglong jumped off the horse and swept with the hammer. The soldiers were beaten and flew out of the city wall.
"Little bastard!"
Gongsun Linglong saw the prince who had fired the cold arrow just now, and strode over with a hammer in hand.
The prince had never fought before, so the attack of 600,000 troops was already frightening. A female general like Gongsun Linglong, who was taller than the average man, frightened him.
"help me!"
The prince turned around and ran away. The soldiers around him covered the retreat. Gongsun Linglong was furious. He killed the soldiers blocking the way with two hammers and quickly caught up with the prince.
He raised the sledgehammer and hit the helmet hard. His neck was immediately broken, and the prince died on the spot.
Gongsun Linglong was still angry, so he kicked the corpse down and threw the hammer from the ten-meter-high city wall, killing several passing soldiers.
Gongsun Linglong jumped down, picked up the hammer and rushed towards the main hall.
Long Chen rode his horse and slowly arrived outside the main hall. More than 500 elite soldiers lined up at the entrance to guard the main hall.
The soldiers were armed with spears, waist knives, and were divided into several teams, with spearmen in the front and shield and sword soldiers in the back.
Long Chen stopped in front of the palace. Bai Tingting looked at the soldiers coldly and sneered: "The fight between trapped beasts."
Da da da
The sound of horse hoofbeats came from behind, and Gongsun Linglong came to kill with two sledgehammers, shouting: "What nonsense are you talking about? Kill!"
A hammer flew up and hit the spearman in front hard, knocking him upside down and vomiting blood through his armor.
The soldier was shocked. The hammer weighing more than 100 kilograms looked like a toy.
Bai Tingting was shocked and said: "Linglong's strength is too great! No wonder she is not afraid of you."
Long Chen was stunned for a moment, saying something rude at this time?
When the hammer fell, Gongsun Linglong rode in and swung the hammer to kill. Bai Tingting followed with her sword and the Long family's army also followed.
The 500 soldiers were quickly slaughtered. Long Chen slowly walked into the main hall. Shi Le sat on the dragon chair and watched Long Chen walk in with a calm expression.
