1386. The Empress is Injured

The next day.

Weizhou City.

It was still early in the morning. The remaining soldiers of the two armies had already left the city to clear the battlefield.

Zhang Guangbao led the four armies of Tianshen, Tianmeng, Tiangui, and Tianfan gathered at the north gate of Weizhou City, preparing to continue to march northward and rush to Zhongxing Prefecture.

The Yuan army was defeated, and it would be a smooth road to get from here to Zhongxing Prefecture. Although it might be blocked by the Daxia army outside Zhongxing Prefecture, it would be possible to distribute the Daxia army's troops.

Zhang Guangbao did not say anything bold in front of the army. After the army gathered, he just raised his hand high and shouted: "Go away!"

The army hurried northward.

It was less than five miles away, and suddenly several fast horses galloped behind him.

This alarmed the soldiers behind the army.

A soldier quickly stopped and pointed the Shenlong muzzle at the several fast horses.

“Well…”

Several cavalry squeezing horses in front of the army.

The man in front sat upright on the horse and asked to the soldiers in front of him, "Where is Deputy Commander Zhang Guangbao?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a token appeared in his hand.

Seeing that the general who was the token changed color slightly, he hurriedly bowed, "General, wait a moment, and then go and report!"

Six Dragon Order.

The army slowly stopped.

In just a short while, Zhang Guangbao led Zheng Yihang, Wang Dagang and other generals to hurry from the army to the back.

Seeing the man immediately, Zhang Guangbao was stunned at first, and then asked, "But General Shi Kaiji, General Shi?"

The man immediately bowed to Zhang Guangbao, "Deputy Coach Zhang."

Zhang Guangbao hurriedly bowed, "Zhang Guangbao has met the head coach!"

Zheng Yihang, Wang Dagang, Feng Hebi and others even fell to the ground on one knee, "The last general has met the head coach!"

Shi Kaiji, the She people's lieutenant general and the deputy of Mrs. Xu. After the She people's army surrendered to the Song Dynasty, he became Wen Tianxiang's deputy and helped Wen Tianxiang take charge of the Xingguo Military Region.

Later, because there was no general in Shu, Zhao Dongting promoted him to the marshal of the Shuzhong Military Region. He hurried from Jianning Prefecture to Shuzhong, and now he finally caught up with the footsteps of the imperial guards in Shuzhong.

After glanced at Zheng Yihang and others, Shi Kaiji, who was quite burly, took out Zhao Dongting's imperial edict from his bag on the horse and handed it to Zhang Guangbao.

Then, Zhang Guangbao invited him to the army with several accompanying entourages.

The army continued to move forward.

Zhang Guangbao handed over the tiger talisman in the army.

Although Shi Kaiji did not really take charge of any army from beginning to end, he actually had a considerable prestige among the generals of the Song Dynasty.

After the She people surrendered to the Song Dynasty, they were all valued by the emperor and became the backbone of the army. Shi Kaiji was the general whom Mrs. Xu relied most.

His combat capability is unquestionable.

The She people were able to deal with the Yuan army in Fujian, Guangnan East Road and other places for such a long time. Compared with the Toutuo army, Shi Kaiji's ability would not be inferior to Huang Hua.

The reason why the emperor asked him to be Wen Tianxiang's deputy was actually seen from that time that the emperor was training Shi Kaiji as a general in the army.

Now, the emperor is finally willing to release the general.

Zhang Guangbao knew very well that his ability was not as capable as Shi Kaiji, and even being the deputy commander of the Shuzhong Military Region was already the emperor's thoughts on his years of hard work, so he had no resistance to handing over military power.

The arrival of Shi Kaiji did not cause much turmoil among the imperial guards in Shu.

However, after he took over the military power, he did not march as before, but ordered the soldiers to advance at full speed and head towards Zhongxing Mansion at a striking speed.

...

Zhongxing Mansion.

Outside the city, the Daxia army was still in the mountains and fields.

The Daxia army suffered consecutive setbacks due to the siege of the city and allocated soldiers scattered everywhere outside Zhongxing Prefecture.

This made their soldiers almost close to 200,000. Of course, this included the soldiers who had killed in the siege in the city.

In the afternoon.

The Daxia army led 50,000 troops to attack the east gate of Zhongxing Prefecture again.

In order to break the city, the generals of the Daxia Army not only organized the enthronement of the army, but also made a promise that those who took the lead in climbing the city would reward thousands of households and be granted the title of marquis.

This made the Daxia army show the blood and courage that they did not have in the previous two days.

This battle was much more tragic than the previous two days.

The Daxia army broke through the East City Gate corridor without considering the cost.

Although the old teacher Zhongsun Qifu led his soldiers to bravely fight the enemy, he was still forced to retreat slowly by the Daxia army. The Daxia army once fought two miles into the city.

Empress Lee Soo-sook roared at the top of the city and cheered the soldiers.

When the general situation is over, I still don’t want to go down to the city.

Finally, he was forcibly taken away by Chen Yidao with brute force.

The people of Xixia in Zhongxing Prefecture spontaneously joined the battle.

They used hoes, kitchen knives, shoulder poles and other objects as weapons, and countless casualties were killed or injured in front of the Daxia Army.

However, this also aroused the anger and bloodiness of the soldiers of the Western Xia army.

The old teacher Zhongsun Qifu led the soldiers of the Dongcheng City and the worshipers of Tingchao Mansion to engage in a fierce confrontation with the Daxia army.

In the end, he forced the Daxia army out of the city.

Bodies were everywhere on the East Street of Zhongxingfu.

Zhongsun Qifu's only parent-child was killed in the chaos.

At this point, the huge Zhongsun family was the only one left of his young grandson to continue his bloodline.

Zhongsun's family is full of loyal and martyrs.

After learning the news, the old master who had just driven the Daxia army out of the city was shaky and finally fainted.

Empress Li Xiushu wore a war robe and personally took over the power of the three armies.

When she led the soldiers to re-arrange the city defense at the east gate, she looked around and found that as long as the Xixia did not fall, she would protect the Zhongsun family from glory and wealth.

It's night.

The news that Weizhou City was destroyed finally spread to inside and outside Zhongxing Prefecture.

When he learned that the imperial guards in Shu defeated the Yuan army, the empress who was coming to Zhongxing Mansion at a rapid speed and the ministers of Xixia were all very happy.

The Empress made the news public.

Cheers everywhere in the city.

The Great Xia Army outside the city also heard the news, but was silent like death.

The Dharma King Luo Tuo quietly climbed to the top of the city, trying to forcibly destroy the city defense of Dongcheng with peerless force.

In just a moment, hundreds of soldiers who were vigilant were killed under his command.

There is a sword that is intended to jump up in the Xixia Palace.

The sword master Chen held a blood knife and flew across the sky to the top of the city.

The loud shouts surround the beams.

Afterwards, two figures broke out over the east city of Zhongxing Mansion.

Blood-colored sword lights spread throughout the sky.

Two golden bowls flashed with golden light.

This fight lasted for two quarters of an hour.

In the end, the Dharma King Luo Tuo retreated.

Chen Yidao returned to the palace, with blood on his chest and a slightly pale complexion.

Empress Li Xiushu did not sleep peacefully. She heard Chen Yidao come back in the bedroom and hurried out.

Seeing Chen Yidao's body was injured, his face was slightly pale.

Chen Yidao had no expression on his face, and he just said, "Don't worry, the empress, he was injured too."

It was the next day again.

It was not yet dawn, and it was the time when I was most sleepy, and a large number of Daxia troops invaded the East Gate of Zhongxing Prefecture.

Immediately following, the hot air balloon army and tens of thousands of troops launched a fierce attack on the south city gate.
