Chapter 67 Section 4 World War II Pingxia City

The Queen Mother Xiaoliang summed up the lessons of failure, made full preparations, and decided to Pingxia City in World War II.So, can Queen Mother Xiaoliang capture Pingxia City this time?What secret weapon did she prepare for this battle? Xia Jun built a tall building car called "Rivalry".Someone pushed it under the building car, which was as high as the city wall. Hundreds of soldiers could be hidden inside the car. As soon as the wooden plank was on the wall, it was as high as the city wall, and the soldiers climbed up the wall along the wooden plank.Xia Jun and Song Jun fought fiercely, and Song Jun felt that it was very difficult. "Confrontation" is really difficult to deal with. It is not like a ladder that is built up to the city, and a pot of hot oil is poured. Or take a hook and sickle gun against the ladder and stab it, and everyone on the ladder will fall into persimmon cakes.Such a huge building car, if you shoot it with arrows, the car is covered with cowhide and has a shield, so you are not afraid of arrows; if you use fire to burn it, hundreds of people in the car can easily put out the fire.Song Jun could only wait until Xia Jun rushed to the city wall, and the two sides started a fierce hand-to-hand fight, which was extremely difficult.One side attacked fiercely, while the other side defended to the death, fighting fiercely for dozens of days.Empress Dowager Xiaoliang set up her own headquarters on the high ground, set up banners, and together with Emperor Chongzong Qianshun, went to the front to direct the battle.Xia Jun went up one after another, and retreated one after another, just like the tide was beating on the rocks, constantly stepping on the corpses of his comrades in arms, causing countless casualties.

Although Pingxia City was strong, it couldn't withstand the Xia army's fierce attack for more than ten days. The city was about to be captured, and the great work was about to be completed.When there was a strong wind, the city wall was fine, and all the opponents fell down. The soldiers at the bottom ran away quickly, and all the soldiers above were smashed to the ground and fell to death.You think the car is on the same side as the city. If you stand on the highest floor, will the car survive if it falls?Empress Dowager Xiaoliang burst into tears, Heaven will not help Mrs. Liang, I want to fight against Heaven!She went crazy, she gave it all, and finally gave it a go, and rushed all of them up for me.Song Jun took a look, God helped us, the more we fought, the more courageous we became, and all the arrows were fired at once.It is said that the arrow pierced Liang Hou's cheek, and if she had to shoot more accurately, she would be finished.Song Jun shouted in unison, captured Liang Shi alive, opened the city gate and rushed out.Liang abandoned her clothes, jewelry, and mount, put on Ma Kui, the clothes of an ordinary female soldier, and fled in embarrassment.

In the second battle of Pingxia City, Xixia ended in a disastrous defeat.The first digging failed, and the second time they played against each other, it seemed that they were about to win, but the match fell down.The reasons for the two disastrous defeats were both natural disasters and man-made disasters. The natural disaster was that the rivalry was blown down by the wind, and the man-made disaster was the Xixia Yushi Zhongcheng, who was dissatisfied with the Liang family. The army invaded the Xia territory.Your side attacked Pingxia City, and the other side's army invaded your border, and the territory was lost again and again. The Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was desperate, so she had to retreat to the country.

When the troops were withdrawing, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang ordered her two generals to guard Tiandu Mountain. She repeatedly urged that Tiandu Mountain must not be lost. Once this place is lost, our southern gate will be completely opened by the Song Dynasty, and the southern defense line will completely collapse.The two brothers said please rest assured the Queen Mother, we are both famous generals, if the Song Army dares to come, Tiandu Mountain will be their cemetery.When the queen mother heard it, since the two of you are so confident, the Ai family will return to court, and the defense line of Tiandu Mountain will be entrusted to the two generals.When the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang returned to the court, the two generals didn't believe that the Song army could go deep into the country and fight here. They were joking, even if he fought, he would definitely be defeated.So these two simply set up their defenses, set up the tent, set up the banquet, and brought a few dancers to the city, singing, dancing and feasting every day, all night long, so they were careless.Unexpectedly, a general of the Song Dynasty led the troops to take a small path, and by surprise, they split up and marched side by side. Without anyone noticing, they went straight to the Tiandu Mountain camp.The Song army's magical soldiers descended from the sky, and the two generals of Xixia were still drunk and were lying high in the tent. The Song army easily captured the two generals like searching for something.Tiandu Mountain, Yuan Hao's Li Palace back then, he married Miyi's family here, and his nose fell off here. Every time he sent troops to attack Song Dynasty, this was the general headquarters and base, and now it is actually occupied by the Song army.

Tiandu Mountain changed hands, and the entire southern defense line of Xixia suddenly opened, and the situation became strong in Song Dynasty and weak in Xia Dynasty.Since then, if the Song Dynasty marched into Xixia, the cavalry could reach Xingqing, the capital of Xixia, at any time.Empress Dowager Xiaoliang learned from the pain, no matter what she thought, it was someone else's fault.I can obviously win, so there is no reason for me to lose this battle?Why did it fail?The reason is that the Liao Kingdom, my suzerain state, would rather die than save it, and the Khitan people are too bad.Back then my aunt promised to send troops to help us, but he didn't pay lip service, and now he's playing this trick with me again. I'm as innocent as my aunt, and we both fell for him!Therefore, she complained a lot to Liao Lord and was very disrespectful.

Of course, the Xixia court also had the eyes and ears of the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom had envoys, and Xixia had ministers who were pro-Liao. These words were reported to the Liao Lord, and they were embellished and deduced, saying that Liang Hou would retaliate in the future. Liao Kingdom, and so on.The emperor of the Liao Kingdom was very disgusted with the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang. You have too much desire for power, and the emperor has grown up, so you still haven't returned the power to the emperor.Listen again now, what's the matter?How dare you blame me?Want to take revenge on me?OK, you're welcome!The Liao State sent envoys to Xixia to contact the ministers who opposed the Queen Mother and decided to get rid of the Queen Mother.The envoys of the Liao Kingdom are envoys from the Shang Kingdom, and the Xixia monarchs and ministers have a grand banquet.During the banquet, the Empress Dowager Xiao Liang held up the wine glass to toast, she drank a glass of wine, her seven orifices bleed, and she fell into a mess of cups and plates.It is said that the Liao envoy colluded with the ministers of Xixia, poisoned the wine, and poisoned the Queen Mother Xiaoliang to death on the spot.

Once Xiaoliang Empress Dowager died, the glory of the Liang Group was gone forever.Emperor Chongzong Li Qianshun began to rule in person.When Chongzong was in charge, Xixia ushered in the most glorious era.So why can Xixia usher in such a good era?
