Chapter 513
Originally, the Mongols were about to attack, but at this time, under the leadership of Li Xian, it didn't take long for the Mongol army to hold back.

"Your Majesty, there is no way to go on like this. The Mongols must be pushed outside, otherwise a large number of troops will be drawn at the gate of the city, and the city walls will not be able to defend."

Xu Feng said to Li Xian anxiously.

Li Xian cursed in his heart, didn't he know this situation?But the question now is how to resist the Mongolian army. After all, the Mongols have already destroyed the city gate at this time.

At this time, a commoner threw a jar of shochu towards the Mongolian army, and then lit the shochu, which immediately turned into a raging fire.

Seeing such a situation, Li Xian had an idea, and ordered the soldiers to find a large amount of wood, poured wine and kerosene on it, threw it in the center of the city gate, and then set the wood on fire.

When the wood that had been doused with shochu and kerosene met the fire, it immediately turned into a raging fire, and the fire occupied the entire city gate.

This method of injuring the enemy by one thousand and self-injury eight hundred has really worked. The Mongolian army's offensive to attack from the city gate has been slowed down, and Xixia only needs someone to continue to add wood.

The scattered troops rushed to the top of the city again, and began to compete with the Mongolian army for control of the city wall.

I have to say that the wisdom of the working people is great, and the power of unity is really great. Although many people saw that the situation was wrong and ran away with Li Shuntian, the remaining group of people, together, still had a great great resistance.

The war was fierce, and fresh lives fell one by one, but the war did not stop, and people rushed forward one after another.

Li Xian was dirty all over his body at this time, and he still looked a bit like an emperor, but his appearance won him a lot of impression points from the common people. Time to decide to stay.

That's right, His Majesty the Emperor has already gone into battle to kill the enemy, how could they fail to defeat the invading enemy?
The number of deaths on both sides is rising sharply, but it is obvious that the number of deaths of the Mongolian army is slightly higher. After all, they are the attacking side, and the Xixia army can still rely on the city wall as a cover.

The battle lasted from morning to night, and the Mongols reluctantly withdrew their troops back. The city wall was attacked several times by the Mongols, and then driven down by the tenacious Xixia people. The defenders of Xingqing Mansion were led by Li Xian It is indeed a great sacrifice.

After seeing the Mongolian army withdrawing, Li Xian sat down on his seat, took a deep breath, and said to Xu Feng:

"Take an inventory of the casualties. For the soldiers who died in battle, the family members must be well compensated. I can't let the soldiers die in battle, and the family members have no care."

Li said so in front of everyone, naturally there is a lot of buying people's hearts in it, but I have to say that the effect of doing so is still very effective, and many soldiers have been moved to tears.

Serving as a soldier was paid. To be honest, when serving as a soldier in ancient times, you really can’t expect them to have much family and country feelings. After all, in that era, there was no such thing as patriotic education.

Everyone is afraid of dying in battle, but when they see that their families can still be taken care of after they die in battle, they will be somewhat relieved, and in the end they can reduce their worries.

Not long after, Xu Feng came to report:
"Your Majesty, among the 1 soldiers guarding the city this time, [-] were killed and countless wounded. The Supreme Emperor took away [-] elite soldiers..."

When Li Xian first heard it, he thought it was nothing, but at the end, he couldn't help but say:
"Wait, what did you say?"

Xu Feng smiled wryly and said:

"Your Majesty, when the Supreme Emperor was leaving, he transferred five thousand elites for protection."

Li Xian, who had been fighting for nearly a day, had a cold light in his eyes at this moment. The 5000 soldiers guarding the city were a bit stretched, but he didn't expect that his father would take [-] people with him before he left. Isn't this to demolish himself? ?

Moreover, the ones who took away were the five thousand Imperial Forest Army, the elite among the elite. To be honest, Li Xian at this time really wanted to rush up and chase his father back.

But now is obviously not the time to pursue this. Although only 1 people were killed on my side, the number has dropped by a quarter. I am afraid that the next battle will not be easy.

"I think the Mongols will not attack tonight, but I tell the soldiers not to take it lightly, and be careful of night attacks!"

Li Xian said to Xu Feng.

It was only after arriving at the position that Li Xian realized that this position was really hard work and the pressure was really great.

Some things that I didn't need to think about before, but now I need to think about it, it's really tiring.

After all, there is no transition period, and it is a dead end to subjugate the country.

Xu Feng nodded and said:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'll go down and make arrangements."

"The Mongols surrounded the city on three sides this time, but they deliberately left a gate out. The purpose is to let us see some hope of survival, and not to fight them completely..."

"And they did use this method to continuously consume our confidence in resistance, and finally completely defeated us. Therefore, whether they can withstand the attack of the Mongols is the key to whether the people in this city will flee!"

Li Xian said softly.

Xu Feng nodded and said to Li Xian:

"Your Majesty, there is a serious shortage of troops now. I have ordered people to start conscription. I think the soldiers should be replenished soon."

Li Xian nodded and continued:
"Find some masons and completely seal the north city gate. I don't want to continue burning the city gate tomorrow."

Xu Feng took the order to do it.

After Li Xian had arranged everything, he had a chance to take a rest at this time. He didn't even go back to the palace, so he directly rested in the barracks.

Outside the city gate, inside the Mongolian army camp, at this time Temujin finally got the news that the man who looked like a general's nephew was actually the eighth prince of Xixia Kingdom.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the eight princes have now inherited the Datong and become the new emperor of the Xixia Kingdom.

Temujin couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly, secretly sighing that he was really careless, if he had known this would be the result, he would never have let Li Xian go back.

To tell the truth, Temujin really regretted it a little, but he really didn't expect that the seemingly brave man was actually Li Shuntian's son.

Temujin knew that he had found a very powerful opponent for himself.
