Chapter 66 Draw with Xiacheng at the beginning of the third quarter

The Empress Dowager Xiaoliang hoped to revitalize the Liang family through the war against the Song Dynasty, and the Royal Conquest launched an attack on Pingxia City.So, is this Empress Dowager Xiaoliang as good at running the army as the old Empress Dowager Liang?How will she attack Pingxia City? Xia Guo's 300,000 troops broke through the border defenses of the Song Army and attacked the city of Pingxia.The Empress Dowager Liang ordered that every soldier carry a shovel on his back, and that the entire army would be transformed into an engineer soldier, and I would dig down Pingxia City.It is impossible to have a brick city in the place where Pingxia City is located, all of which are made of rammed earth. The local climate is dry and there is little rainfall, so it is no problem to build a city with rammed earth.It's not like Beijing, where the earthen city walls must be covered with a layer of bricks, which is not needed there.So Empress Dowager Xiaoliang asked the soldiers to dig the city wall with shovels.What if you don't have a shovel?Carry a bundle of grass on his body to fill the moat.The soldiers of the Xia army were extremely busy filling trenches and digging cities.

The soldiers of the Xia army were exhausted after a day of tossing. Looking at the little soil they shoveled down, they had peeled off a layer of skin on the city wall.You want the city wall to be rammed so that horses can run on it, but when do you have to shovel it with a shovel?Xia Jun saw that there was little hope and no confidence. He was so tired that he lay on the ground and couldn't move.I filled the trench for a day, and shoveled the wall for a day. If the wall is knocked down, we rush in with all our strength, and we will be rewarded for our meritorious service. I still have energy.After shoveling for a day now, even the city walls laugh at us.Look, you didn't mess with me, did you?Xia Guo soldiers were exhausted, and they lay on the ground and didn't want to move.Song Jun watched the excitement in the city all day, Xia Guobing's shovel is good, but I don't know how to use swords and guns, let's try to open the city gate?As soon as the city gate was opened, the Song army rushed out. More than 3,000 Xia soldiers were killed and tens of thousands were captured. They had to retreat to the old camp in Tiandu Mountain for repairs.

The Empress Dowager Xiaoliang gave a letter to the emperor of the Liao Kingdom. All the roads in the Song Dynasty were massacred and looted. She didn't mention that she attacked the Song Dynasty first. She only said that the Song Dynasty attacked me. The lord of Daliao quickly dispatched volunteers to help me repel the Song army.When the Liao Kingdom heard it, it was fine, I sent troops to guard the border between Song and Liao, and it was this dish again.The Liao State pondered, I don't want to play my life with the Song Dynasty for you. It would be nice if you both died, so every time the Liao State gave Xia support, it was only lip service.I'm just telling you that I may send a little more troops to the border, but you don't know if there are any.Maybe they are changing defenses, one army returns to the grassland, and the other army comes to the border.But Xixia didn't know why. Seeing that the Liao Kingdom agreed to send troops, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang thought that the Liao Kingdom would definitely help me, and led an army to attack the Song Army.

This time it was worse than last time.How miserable is it?There was a severe water shortage in the northwest region. There was a cow pen outside the city that Xiaoliang Queen Mother attacked. There was a pool of rainwater in the cow pen. Xia Guo soldiers rushed towards the pool of water.Put aside the siege first, and drink water first, otherwise people will collapse.After Xia Jun drank the water, he was completely weak. It turned out that General Song had sprinkled poison in it.Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, have you grown your brains?How about a strong woman, who is more stupid than you?If there was a pool of water, Song Jun would have drank it up long ago, can I keep it for you?It must be a trick to keep it for you, there must be ghosts in it, I didn't expect Xixia soldiers to jump down without hesitation.This time, Xia Jun was defeated again. He didn't fight Song Jun much, and so many people were poisoned to death just by drinking water. Xia Jun never dared to cross the river to attack Song Jun again.The Song army took advantage of the momentum and penetrated deep into the territory of Xixia, looting wantonly in the Tiandu Mountain area.Tiandu Mountain is where the old Xixia camp is located, and the Xixia people are very sad and angry.Our fertile arable land and the place where we sing, dance and enjoy ourselves have been taken away by the enemy. We cannot remain indifferent to this. We must fight against the enemy and fight the Song army to the death.Xiaoliang Empress Dowager Xiaoliang saw that people's hearts were stirred up, she forgot about drinking the poisonous water, and sent troops to Pingxia City in World War II.
