Chapter 510 Defense
But he also behaved like this, the more Mu Huali didn't believe it, thinking that it was the Xixia people who were perfunctory.
So before dawn, the two of them were kicked out of the barracks.
Of course, the Mongols are still very polite, at least they didn't kill the two of them.
Qin Muhui didn't care about this, as long as the two of them didn't die and the peace talks were successful, it didn't matter. After all, Qin Muhui thought that as long as he was alive, it would be fine.
After all, no matter who is the emperor, from Qin Muhui's point of view, it really doesn't matter, what matters is his own prosperity and wealth.
The minister at this time is actually like working for the emperor. No matter who takes over the big company of the Xixia Empire, he is nothing more than changing to another company to work.
Anyway, I am not the emperor, so I don't need to worry about these.
The two returned to Xingqing Mansion without any risk, and of course brought the anger of the Mongols.
The next day, the Mongolian army came in a menacing manner.
It was still the same routine. First, hundreds of catapults began to bombard the city wall of Xingqing Mansion. After causing some damage to the city wall, the Mongolian army began to attack the city on a large scale.
The Mongols' arrow array was very powerful, and the arrow rain from the Mongolian army had shot in overwhelmingly from a distance.
The Mongolian army has entered the attack range, but relying on the long-range attack of the arrow array, the Xixia army standing on the city wall dare not stand up at all, and can only watch the Mongolian army approaching the city.
At this time, the Western Xia Dynasty Hall has exploded.
Li Shuntian looked at Li Xian and Qin Muhui who had returned safely, but he didn't look happy at all. After all, he sent the two of them out to negotiate, but now it's a good thing, there is no peace talk at all. coming.
"I want to know why the Mongolian army has not retreated, but instead attacked."
Li Shuntian looked at the two people in front of him, and said in a cold voice:
"Did you say something you shouldn't have said, which completely angered the Mongols?"
Qin Muhui smiled wryly and said:
"Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince and I are in the enemy's camp. We can't help ourselves, let alone provoke the Mongolian army. If we really dare to say something disobedient, it is estimated that it is impossible for us to come back alive." Something happened."
Li Shuntian was right when he heard what Qin Muhui said, since this is the territory of the Mongol army, they just wanted to be arrogant, it is probably impossible, otherwise they would definitely be killed by the Mongol army.
"Tell me carefully what happened after you entered the Mongolian army camp. Why did the Mongolian army suddenly attack Xingqing Mansion like crazy?"
Li Shuntian said to Qin Muhui.
When the two of them talked about the ins and outs of the matter, everyone was a little depressed. After all, the Mongol had no peace talks at all. If this is the case, then he still claimed to let Li Shuntian go out for peace talks?
"Your Majesty? Could it be that they think that the Eighth Prince is not qualified to go, so they refused the peace talks?"
One of the ministers said softly.
It seems that this can only be the case.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the Mongolian army has no intention of having peace talks at all!"
At this time, another minister said softly.
Discussing these now, to be honest, is meaningless at all, after all, the Mongolian army has already approached the city.
Speaking of it, Li Shuntian was really helpless. He was originally sent to delay the time, but who knew it would turn out like this.
The Mongolian army outside the city has already arrived at the city. After all, Xingqing Mansion is the capital of the Xixia Kingdom. Although it has not experienced any wars, but after the city walls have been reinforced by several generations of emperors, it is still difficult for the Mongolian army to break through in a short time. .
After the Mongol army arrived at the city, the arrow array lost its effect. After all, if you continue to shoot arrows at this time, you will easily hurt your own people, so the Mongol army's arrow array stopped.
At this time, the Xixia army on the city wall finally had a chance to fight back. They began to emerge and started shooting arrows at the Mongolian army below the city.
Arrows, wood, and rolling stones shot towards the Mongolian army below the city one by one. Mu Huali saw that the number of people dying in front of him was gradually increasing, and he was very anxious in his heart. Finally, he gritted his teeth and rushed go up.
Mu Huali came to the gate of the city, and watched the huge rafters continuously impacting the gate, but the gate was still motionless, and Mu Huali was also in a hurry.
"Come on, pour oil on the door for me!"
Mu Huali was enraged, and directly gave the order.
Mu Huali was about to start a fire attack, and this fire attack did not only start in the city.
The city gate of Xingqing Mansion was made of wood, and after being doused with kerosene at this time, a little bit of fire immediately ignited a raging fire.
It should be said that the Mongol army was really in a hurry at this time. It was hot and rainless in Xixia, and the wooden gate was doused with kerosene. Immediately after the fire, it burned crazily. It didn't take long to burn a pair. Wearing it, the Mongolian army outside can already see the Xixia army inside.
Mu Huali sneered, when the gate of the city was broken open, that is when the city of Xingqing Mansion was broken.
Seeing that the Mongolian army actually burned their own city gate, the Xixia army in the city was also anxious. They also understood that if the city gate was broken, all the defenses would be destroyed.
The news that the city gate was burned quickly spread to the palace. After Li Shuntian heard the news, his expression changed, as if he realized what was going to happen next.
"Hurry up and order people to block the city gate for me!"
Li Shuntian ordered anxiously.
At the critical moment of life and death, the army and civilians of Xixia burst out with amazing potential. They actually forcibly blocked most of the city gate with the stones thrown by the Mongols with a trebuchet just now.
But this kind of piled stones are not so strong after all. When the city gate collapsed with a "hula", the Mongols did not rush in, but shot arrows inside, and then shot arrows under the cover of archers. , began to order people to remove the stone.
At this time, the Xixia people also began to shoot arrows with bows and arrows towards the outside, and the two sides began to shoot at each other, but the Mongols' arrows were accurate, and they were extremely lethal to the Xixia army.
As time passed by, the number of casualties on both sides has been increasing. The Xixia army was involved in a large number of troops at this city wall, and the Mongols took advantage of this opportunity to quietly climb up the city wall and began to fight against the city wall. Fight the Xixia army.
