Chapter 837

"The last general obeys the order! Have you heard it? Why are you still standing there? Hurry up, get on my horse, prepare to attack, prepare to attack..."

In the dense forest, the Song cavalry who had been waiting for a long time jumped up and began to saddle the war horses, wiped the swords, and arranged the impact formations amid the officers' depressed calls.

The defenders of Xingqing Cang, at this moment, all their minds were gone with the departure of the 1,500 men and horses, muttering in a low voice, guessing where General Fang Dang was going.

After all, the great event such as the attack of King Xia of Xixia was not something that they and the little soldiers could understand. However, under the constraints of those officers at all levels, the five hundred defenders left a hundred to sit in the center, and a hundred soldiers were sent to each city gate, and at the same time, the gates of Xingqing Cang were all closed.

However, the function of Xingqing Warehouse is not for defense, but for storage. Therefore, the city wall is low and the city gate is even thin, which is probably not as thick as the gates of the homes of some wealthy families in Xingqing Mansion.

Fang Dangshen left. After a brief commotion, Xingqingcang returned to its former peace. However, the defenders on the city did not notice that elite cavalry wearing bright red battle robes and murderous intent were emerging from the edge of the vast dense forest in the north...

Fei Ting Mao Ye was very frightened. The Song army actually appeared in the hinterland of Daxia, only sixty or seventy miles away from Xingqing Prefecture. What a fuck, isn't this too weird?

Before, hearing the Song army's riots in the Xiangqing Army Division, the whole country of Xixia was already shocked. The emperor was furious and finally dispatched a large number of troops and appointed the veteran general Weiming Awu as the commander and went to drive away the enemy.

Even the garrison of Wang Ling was transferred 1,000 troops, but only 500 cavalry were transferred away in Xingqingcang, and the two thousand infantrymen were safe and sound.

As a result, the old general Weiming has not heard any good news yet. Instead, the Song army actually appeared here. This is so fucking...thinking about it makes people feel sad.

Could it be that the tens of thousands of troops recruited by the veteran General Weiming Awu have been defeated?

Just when Fei Ting Mao Ye was anxious, suddenly, a rapid sound of horns came from the city, which scared Fei Ting Mao Ye very much and suddenly changed his color.

That was an alarm about the enemy situation. Could it be that he was really a crow with his back? The Song army was really coming to Xingqing Cang? Fei Ting Mao Ye rushed out of the room quickly and led his personal soldiers to the city wall.

While running, I heard countless sounds of hooves, like a continuous thunder sound, deafening, as if a thunderstorm suddenly hit...

The defenders in the city headed saw that the headed Song army, six cavalry, were divided into two rows, and among them was a long and thick pointed log.

Using the speed of the war horse, even without this pointed head, the kinetic energy that the logs can generate can definitely be easily destroyed by the simple and thin four gates of Xingqing Cang.

"Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows quickly and stop them!" The generals and schoolmen of Xixia roared loudly while shooting the arrows with an example.

However, the war horses that had already reached the limit of speed were like lightning, causing most of the arrows to fall into vain. Even if a small number of arrows hit, they were shocked to discover. These war horses that were pulling pointed logs were all wearing vests modified from leather armor.

Even if arrows can pass through leather armor, they can only arouse the potential of war horses and cannot pose a fatal hazard to them.

The Xixia defenders scattered in the four gates were not even able to gather at the north gate, and the arrow rain had only fallen three times, accompanied by a huge roar.

The north gate of Xingqing Cang was as fragile and thin as a piece of paper in front of the thick and heavy pointed log, and it was smashed into a hole about a foot. The second pointed log had arrived and hit it again.

Third, fourth, fifth. The Song army only prepared five pointed logs in total, but the third pointed log had already knocked over the already broken wooden door and collapsed on the ground.

In an instant, countless Song cavalry waved the war horses in their hands, and the sound of victory almost completely covered up the sound of hooves.

Only then did Fei Ting Maoye, who had just arrived above the city, looked at the nearly thousand cavalry under the city, and also saw the Song army cavalry waving his war horses into Xingqing Cang along the broken north gate. His face turned gray and white. He held the female wall with his hands and sat softly on the city wall. "It's over..." At this moment, Fei Ting Maoye had only such a thought in his heart.

With less than a stick of incense, Xingqingcang completely fell under the attack of the Song army's iron cavalry with lightning speed.

Except for a few of the five hundred soldiers who died in battle, most of them were captured. Fei Ting Maoye, the deputy general who defended the city, led more than 20 soldiers to fight stubbornly on the top of the city, and were eventually shot and killed on the spot.

In Xingqing Cang, not only were soldiers, but also hundreds of Dang Xiang Qing, trembling. All of them were driven to the northeast corner of Xingqing Cang and taken into custody.

There are densely packed granaries in Xingqing warehouses, but only about half of them have food, and the rest are empty.

Even so, the amount of food stored here is still very amazing, which made Li Mao and the Song generals deeply pleased. I believe that burning this place will definitely make the people of Xixia feel what a fire in summer is, or the enthusiasm of the fire in the Song Dynasty.

"General Wu, you lead two hundred cavalry to search outside Xingqing Cang. If you find someone escaping, you will be killed without any reservation. General Chen asked the soldiers to prepare all kinds of fire-driven objects, and prepare for you for two quarters of hours. After two quarters of hours, ignite the fire and burn the warehouse, then withdraw from Xingqing Cang and rush to the meeting place agreed with General Luo."

"No!" The two generals took the order and rode away. Soon, the soldiers of the Song army started to work hard in Xingqing Cang.

The tincture oil, gunpowder and bullets they brought, and the combustible materials they could find in the Xingqing warehouse were gathered in the granaries where grains were still gathered.

Although two quarters of an hour was not long, hundreds of Song troops took action together, and with sufficient preparation, all the granaries with food were lit soon. Amid the rolling smoke and the explosions from time to time, the Song cavalry led the captured young and strong soldiers and left Qingxing Cang and continued to travel north.

It was not until he left Xingqing Cang that Li Mao ordered the release of these prisoners of war, and the young and Western Xia soldiers with their hands tied to fend for themselves, while they ran towards the direction of the Western Xia Royal Tomb.
