Chapter 429 Siege
It was already an hour later when Li Ganshun woke up.
Li Ganshun looked pale and had an unstable breath. He turned his head to look at the bedside.
Li Zhizhong and Wei Ming Anhui stood beside each other, both of whom came forward with a look of worry and called out softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Li Ganshun tried hard to support his spirit and said, "Brother Cha will have ten days to come back, and Wei Ming Ashan will probably take two or three days. For the time being, the government affairs will be handed over to the Li Qing family, the defense of the capital, and the Wei Mingqing family will be handed over to you."
Both of them felt uncomfortable when they looked at Li Ganshun's expression.
Wei Ming Anhui was a military general and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, if you have a minister here, the capital will be completely worry-free."
Li Ganshun was not comforted at all and said slowly: "The rebel Wei Ming Abian led his troops, Renduo protected Zhong and rebel. They both brought their troops to come, so they need to be more careful. Start immediately, be on guard throughout the journey, and conscripted all young and strong men to recruit them, and wait for Brother Cha to return to the army."
Although Li Ganshun was weak, his consciousness was unprecedentedly clear.
He knew that it was impossible to retreat from the Song army with the troops of Xingqing Mansion, so he could only wait for Brother Cha to return to the army.
Wei Ming Anhui said: "Yes, I ask Your Majesty to be content with peace of mind. The dragon body is important."
Li Ganshun nodded slightly, looked at Li Zhizhong, and said in a weak and firm voice: "The rest of the matter is suspended, and retreating to Song is the most important thing. The Song army may arrive tonight as soon as possible, so we must step up preparations. The time for the Song people to choose is to destroy our Daxia, and we must never let them succeed!"
Li Zhizhong was worried, but his face was grim: "I understand, please be content with your Majesty. I would rather die than be afraid and protect my country's fortune for thousands of years!"
Li Ganshun glanced outside and said, "Go without further ado."
Li Zhizhong and Wei Ming Anhui looked at each other, and the two raised their hands and said, "I will leave."
When the two left, Li Ganshun breathed a sigh of relief. An old eunuch not far away walked over slowly, bent over, and said nothing.
Li Ganshun looked up at the white mosquito net and sighed softly: "Xiping Prefecture is lost. If the capital is not protected, where can I go?"
Now, the most important thing left in Xixia is, with the largest population and the largest city, one is Xingqing Prefecture and the other is Liangzhou in the northwest!
Xingqing Prefecture will be Yinchuan in the future, and Liangzhou will be the easternmost end of the Hexi Corridor.
This place is basically the northwest, remote and desolate place among the Three Kingdoms.
The old eunuch seemed to hear nothing, and he bent and stood motionless, his face as old as a sculpture.
After a while in the bedroom, Li Ganshun sighed and said in a daze: "Why don't I have the luck of Emperor Song? If I were given one and a half years to rule in advance, I could also fight to Kaifeng... The 500,000 army was destroyed under the small Pingxia City..."
The old eunuch still didn't move at all.
He could understand Li Ganshun's mood, but he just didn't speak.
After a while, Li Ganshun seemed to have recovered a little, and his body struggled and moved, looking at the old eunuch and said, "I'm hungry."
The old eunuch then spoke and said, "I'll go now."
When he left, Li Ganshun looked outside, with an obscure expression and said to himself: "I don't know if Emperor Song is the same..."
As Li Ganshun expected, before dark, Zhong Jianzhong's cavalry arrived at Xingqing Prefecture.
Perhaps the information was relatively complete, or perhaps Zhong Jianzhong was bold, so he did not hesitate. 20,000 cavalry surrounded Xingqing Prefecture and walked around the city!
Xingqing Mansion has received the news, but is still very shocked. Even after martial law is over, all kinds of chaos will occur.
Wei Ming Anhui stood at the south gate with a solemn expression on his face and shouted: "Whoever does not respect military orders will be killed! Whoever does not respect curfew will be killed! Whoever escapes in chaos will be killed!"
"Yes!" He was about to respond loudly and quickly left with heavy armored soldiers.
With Wei Ming's strict orders from Anhui, the chaos in Xingqing Prefecture was quickly suppressed, and the whole city was on guard and prepared to defend the city.
Wei Ming Anhui stood at the top of the city with a serious expression and a bright look.
The Song people were weak last time and did not invade Liangzhou Prefecture. Now his army in Daxia is expeditioning the east, and the country is empty. The Song people really seized this opportunity and came back!
He felt heavy when he looked at the cavalry walking around the city and some places where the Song army seemed to be making siege equipment.
There are not many soldiers in the city, and there are not many soldiers in the whole people!
If the Song people were willing to pay any cost, Xingqing Mansion might not be able to defend it!
While Weiming Anhui was waiting for the battle, some big figures in the city who were not within the curfew were crowded into the palace, fearing and nervous, and in panic, they wanted to ask Li Ganshun for advice.
Li Ganshun had no choice but to come out and meet these ministers.
The minister's attitude was obviously divided into two factions. One faction was very strong in fighting, and wanted to fight to the end and defend the capital.
Another faction puts facts and reasoning, hoping that Li Ganshun will abide by the "union" with the Song people, and will not send troops to help Liao, and will rest and recuperate in order to achieve the future.
Seeing that Li Ganshun was in a stalemate, he directly shouted out of the palace and came to the city.
Wei Ming Anhui was shocked and saluted quickly, saying, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Song people have not yet attacked the city, even if they attacked the city, I can still defend it!"
Li Ganshun's face was pale and dizzy, but he tried his best to stay calm. He held a flagpole with one hand and said with a smile: "I know, I'm here to see it."
Li Ganshun said, his head was still dizzy and let out a secret breath. Looking at Song Jun who seemed to be close to him, his scalp was chilling and he couldn't help but fight a cold war.
Wei Ming Anhui saw it clearly, hesitated for a while, and did not speak anymore.
Li Ganshun looked at it for a while, recovered a little, and smiled and said, "Let's go, accompany me to the other city gates."
Wei Ming An Huisheng was afraid that Li Ganshun would faint again, which would seriously damage morale. He hesitated and said, "Yes."
Li Ganshun did not fall again, and inspected the four gates to appease the soldiers and boost morale.
With Li Ganshun's actions, the four gates of Xingqing Mansion gradually stabilized, their morale increased, and they looked like they were determined to guard.
Under the city, Zhong Jianzhong led his cavalry and walked around the city, making a siege, but he never entered the range of the archer's shooting range.
Ten will surround it, five will attack it, and twice will fight it!
There are 20,000 cavalrymen, and it is impossible to attack the city, even if it is half lost, it cannot be captured!
Of course, the Song army had no intention of destroying Xia, and could not do it.
Zhong Jianzhong sat on the horse, looked at Xia Jun on the south gate, and said, "In less than half an hour, beat the drums and make a move to attack the city!"
The deputy commander beside him immediately understood and raised his hand and said, "The last general will take the order!"
Dongdongdongdongdong
A fierce drum sound suddenly sounded outside the city, this was the order to attack the city!
The city of Xingqing Prefecture was in chaos, and countless people were nervous.
Li Ganshun, who had been barely supporting and patrolling around, was shocked, and ran back to the south gate, staring at the city where drums were thunderous.
"The city guard, archers, turbulent oil, stone throwing machines... prepare them all for me!"
Chapter completed!
