C1729 Charge
Yelv Zhen's surname was Yelu, the royal family of Liao Kingdom. As the general leading the army, he led fifty thousand troops to attack West Xia.
Regarding the fact that he wasn't able to lead the army to attack the Song Dynasty, in Yelv Zhen's heart, in truth, he was unhappy. He felt that he had been ignored. He could totally become the general to lead the army to attack the Song Dynasty. Furthermore, he was a member of the royal family. He had supported the new king to ascend to the throne. He could be considered as a subordinate of the dragon, so he felt that he was qualified to be the general to lead the army.
However, in the end, he did not obtain this opportunity, so it was understandable that he was dissatisfied.
And this time, he heard that he was going to attack West Xia and teach that insensible princess and son-in-law of West Xia a lesson. Yelv Zhen took the initiative to volunteer to be the general leading the troops. And this time, the Emperor did not reject, giving him fifty thousand troops. He was sent to attack West Xia.
Although fifty thousand soldiers were not as good as the army of two hundred thousand that fought against the Song Dynasty, but... In Yelv Zhen's point of view, these fifty thousand soldiers were enough to attack West Xia. After all, West Xia was not like the Great Song. The Great Song territory was vast. There were also many troops, even if they could not fight. However, the numbers were there and they would send more troops over.
On West Xia's side, the number of soldiers was small. Fifty thousand was enough. They could totally take down West Xia. Furthermore, Yelv Zhen was an extremely proud person, so he felt more confident.
"General, we should be able to arrive this evening." The soldier replied.
Yelv Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, let the team speed up a bit. We must get there tonight."
"Yes!"
After that, the entire team's marching speed increased again.
What Yelv Zhen did not notice was that in the sky, there was a huge bird flying above their heads. Because it was too high up, no one below noticed it. And everything here... And through the eyes of the big bird... It was transmitted to Huang Feng who was standing behind it.
Naturally, Huang Feng was very clear about the movement of the Liao Army.
At this time, Huang Feng was no longer in the capital of Western Xia. He had already arrived at the border town of West Xia, which was the town Yelv Zhen was about to arrive at. Beside him were the people who were rushing towards the Spirit Eagle Palace.
Li Qinglou was left in the capital of Western Xia to guard the base camp. Huang Feng, on the other hand, brought the subordinates of the Spirit Eagle Palace and the 36 caves that he had summoned. The people of the 72 islands had arrived at the border of Western Xia. He was waiting for the arrival of the Liao Army.
Su Yumo and the other girls were standing beside Huang Feng. They had also come over. After the previous battles, they no longer felt nervous and afraid when facing the battlefield.
"Ask the people below to prepare. At night, we will give these friends who came from afar some gifts." Huang Feng said to the people of Spirit Eagle Palace.
"Yes." After that, the people of Spirit Eagle Palace went to make the arrangements.
"The Liao Army is here?" Su Yumo asked.
"Yes. According to their speed, they should be able to reach this city by evening." Huang Feng said.
"This city has low city walls. Can we defend it?" Su Yumo was a little worried.
"No problem. I have prepared good things for these friends who came from afar." Huang Feng said, "Furthermore, who said that I am going to guard it?"
"You are going to attack?" Su Yumo was a little shocked. Although Huang Feng had come this time, he had also sent thirty thousand troops from the Western Xia. However, the Liao Kingdom was now at its peak, and its combat strength was very powerful. Not to mention, the Western Xia Army only had thirty thousand soldiers, even if it was a hundred thousand. They might not even be able to defeat the Liao Army.
"Hehe, you have invested too much into this. Have you forgotten our original identities? Where did we come from?" Huang Feng said with a smile.
Su Yumo's eyes lit up. She suddenly realized that she had just regarded herself as a part of this world. The difference in combat strength between Liao Kingdom and West Xia was in this time and space. The strength of the Western Xia Army was indeed inferior to the Liao Army. It was even more inferior to the strength of Jin Country, which had yet to rise. However, wasn't Huang Feng there? There were a lot of treasures in Huang Feng's Storage Box. With the help of those things, it wasn't impossible to defeat the Liao Army.
"I forgot about it." Su Yumo said with some embarrassment, but the worries in her heart also disappeared.
Huang Feng smiled and stopped talking. He looked into the distance, waiting for the arrival of the Liao Kingdom's army.
At the same time, there were also some officials in Western Xia waiting for the Liao Army's army. These officials were the ones who were closer to the Liao Kingdom. They had even joined Li Yu in the rebellion. As a result, Li Qinglou had risen to power, and those people and officials were naturally sent to jail. However, before they had the time to judge, the Liao Kingdom called.
Because of this, those officials naturally hoped that the Liao Kingdom could defeat West Xia. If that was the case, not only would their lives not be in danger, they might even be put in an important position by the Liao Army.
At the same time, the formidable strength of the Liao Kingdom had given them a lot of confidence. Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen Li Yu, who had the support of the Liao Kingdom. Therefore, they were all waiting for the outcome of the battle. Once the Liao Army won, they would be free to do whatever they wanted.
Unfortunately, neither Huang Feng nor Li Qinglou would let them do as they wished. What they didn't know was that Li Qinglou had already made up her mind. If West Xia really lost, they would have to kill these bastards first. Therefore, regardless of the outcome of the war between Liao Kingdom and Western Xia, the fate of these people had already been decided.
In the evening, Huang Feng and the others stood on top of the city wall, far away from their field of vision. Finally, figures appeared. One, two. Cavalry, infantry, and so on. A black mass was pressing down on them. Huang Feng could even feel that the moment these figures appeared, the air in the entire town seemed to freeze. His nervousness rose.
Although Huang Feng was confident, Su Yumo and the other girls knew about Huang Feng's situation. They were also confident, but those ordinary soldiers did not have confidence. They knew the gap between them and the Liao people. If they really fought on the battlefield... The chances of them winning were very small.
"It's finally here." Huang Feng looked at the black shadows in the distance and muttered to himself. He had been here for two days. Apart from making some arrangements at the beginning, he had been waiting for the Liao Army to appear. Waiting was obviously boring. Fortunately, the Liao Army had finally appeared. His wait had finally come to an end.
When the general of the Liao Army, Yelv Zhen, saw the short city wall, a cold smile emerged on his face.
"Tell the team not to stop. Charge!" Yelv Zhen suddenly ordered.
"General, our army has just arrived. Do you want to rest for a while and attack the city tomorrow?" Someone suggested.
"No need!" Yelv Zhen said confidently, "Look, the city wall in front of us is no more than two zhang. Our brave warriors only need to charge forward. Why is there still time? Drag for one night and let the people of West Xia live for one more night. I don't want them to live for long. I want them to die immediately!"
Yelv Zhen coming to suppress West Xia this time was not as simple as winning. He came with the intention of fighting. Regarding General who did not have the chance to become the Execute Great Song previously, he had always been brooding over it. Hence, he wanted to stay in West Xia. It was better to fight beautifully and not simply win.
Therefore, when he saw the city wall in front of him being so low, Yelv Zhen had an idea. His army had just arrived, and they were very sharp. Adding on the defending troops in the city, he probably wouldn't have thought that he would attack the city at this time. Hence... He could take the enemy by surprise at this time.
"Yes!" That person replied. Yelv Zhen was the chief official this time, moreover, he was a member of the royal family. Since he had already said so, this person naturally did not dare to object.
Furthermore, the Liao people were all proud of themselves at this moment. Their military strength was indeed very powerful. If they didn't put the Song Dynasty in their eyes, how could they put a puny West Xia in their eyes?
Therefore, even though he felt that the people on his side were a little tired at this moment, that person didn't think that they wouldn't be able to take down this small city under such circumstances. The only difference was that the number of casualties might increase slightly.
That was all!
"Kill!"
"Charge!"
"Kill the Xixia people!"
Huang Feng and the others were still discussing the situation of the Liao Army. They were wondering where they would set up camp. At night, if it wasn't for the fact that they were going to launch a sneak attack... In the end... They heard the deafening roar outside the city. And then... ... He looked at the incoming enemies in shock.
To be honest, even Huang Feng was shocked. He didn't expect that... Those Liao Army outside the city were attacking the city right now. He thought that they would need to rest for a night. The siege would only begin the next morning. After all... They were currently feeling tired, and their combat strength was definitely not at the highest level. Attacking at this time was not a wise choice.
In the end, these people really attacked without any hesitation. The shouting got closer and closer, just like what Yelv Zhen had said. The Western Xia Army in the city had never thought that they would attack the city at this moment. No matter how he thought about it, it was the most reasonable thing to attack the city tomorrow.
Yelv Zhen saw the reaction on the city wall of Western Xia. Sure enough, it was as he had expected. He felt very proud in his heart, "Charge! Charge in and kill those people from West Xia!"
Following Yelv Zhen's shout, the Liao Army's side charged even faster, getting closer and closer to the city wall.
"Archer, get ready!" Huang Feng who was on top of the city wall circulated his inner energy and shouted. He woke up the shocked guards. Then... All of the archer walked forward and approached the wall. However, Huang Feng could still see the nervousness and panic of many of them.
Originally, these people were somewhat afraid of the Liao people. However, as soon as the Liao people arrived, they launched an attack and seized the initiative. Naturally, they were even more afraid.
