It was approaching dusk, snowflakes were flying, and fierce battles were fought on the city top. Countless Mongolian troops rushed to the top of the city, and were stabbed back down by countless spear heads. The blood dyed the walls red and flowed onto the city wall. When he stepped on it, the uppers of his shoes were soaked directly.
"General Yeli, be careful!"
Yeli Mou slipped and was stabbed in the left arm by the Mongolian soldier on the opposite side, causing blood to drip from his arm. Yang Daquan and Gao Hu on the side stabbed the Meng soldiers repeatedly with their spears, leaving blood holes all over the Meng soldiers' bodies, and they let out earth-shattering screams.
"Get down!"
Gao Hu pushed hard with his spear and pushed the Mongolian soldiers out of the city wall.
"General Yeli, are you okay?"
Gao Hu quickly stepped forward and supported Ye Limo.
"This little injury is okay!"
Ye Limou pushed Gao Hu away, laughed, and raised the long knife in his hand.
"Brothers, work harder and drive all the Mongolian troops away!"
"Brothers, kill the Mongolian army!"
Gao Hu, who was on the side, also shouted loudly, echoing Ye Limou.
"Kill the Mongolian army! Kill the Mongolian army!"
All the troops on the top of the city shouted together, and everyone was impassioned.
Influenced by the Xia army, Yang Daquan stabbed a Mongolian army to death. Before the Mongolian army reached the top of the city, he started singing loudly, but it was the ever-famous song "No Clothes".
"How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. The king raised his troops and repaired my spear..."
Gao Hu was also in high spirits and sang along loudly.
Although he is from Xixia, Song and Xia have the same writing style, and Qinlong is the birthplace of Qin. This famous poem from Qin Feng in the Book of Songs has also been circulated in Xixia for a long time.
"...How can I say that I have no clothes? I am in the same boat with you. The king raised an army and repaired my spear and halberd. I will work with you..."
Slowly, all the Song soldiers and Xia soldiers at the top of the city began to sing together, and their singing was so loud that it robbed the morale of the Mongolian army attacking the city.
When they met such tough desperadoes who were not afraid of life and death, they realized that the other party regarded death as home and was more powerful than they imagined.
Yelimou's harsh gong sound made the Mongolian army attacking the city even more upset. Many of them climbed up to the top of the city and rushed towards Ye Limou, hoping to kill him quickly and save their ears from the pain of being destroyed by the other party.
"...How can I say that I have no clothes? I wear the same clothes as you. The king raised his troops and repaired my armor..."
In the midst of the singing, countless Xia troops stabbed with spears. Their morale was greatly boosted, and no one retreated. The Mongolian troops were stabbed off the city wall one by one, and were thrown down with the rolling stones. For a while, no one was even covered. The army can climb to the top of the city again.
"...How can I say that I have no clothes? I wear the same clothes as you. The king raised his troops and repaired my armor..."
Chahan and Xili Qianbu, another Mongolian general from Xixia, opened their eyes wide when they looked at the excited Xia soldiers at the top of the city and listened to the singing coming from the top of the city.
Chahan's eyes turned red inexplicably.
The brave and fearless Xixia people made an unyielding cry deep in their hearts and vented the anger and resistance in their hearts.
Even when they were pushed to the edge of a cliff by the Mongolian army, they chose to fight, preferring to die standing rather than live in humiliation.
"Chahan, what are they singing?"
In the Mongolian formation, Wo Kuotai looked at the head of Lingzhou City, heard the other party's singing, and asked in surprise.
Even from a distance, he could feel the perseverance of the Xia soldiers at the top of the city from their songs.
Perhaps only by completely annihilating the opponent physically can their raging fighting spirit be eradicated.
"Wo Kuotai, this is the Qin Feng in the Book of Songs. It is the military song of the Qin soldiers. It has been circulated for thousands of years. It talks about the Qin army sharing the same hatred of the enemy and fighting against foreign aggression."
Chahan calmed down and spoke in a deep voice.
Genghis Khan and the Mongolian generals thought they could easily capture Lingzhou City, and even imagined that the Lingzhou garrison would open the city and surrender. They were too optimistic and too self-righteous.
The anger and unyieldingness revealed in this song, as well as the united spirit of looking forward to death, made him feel that breaking through Lingzhou City was not as simple as they imagined.
"No clothes? Wait until they have no water to drink and no food to eat. See if they can still sing?"
Wo Kuotai's face turned livid, he snorted coldly, and turned back into the tent.
He has been watching the fierce battle at the top of the city for a long time. The Mongolian warriors suffered heavy casualties and were fighting one after another, but they seemed unable to capture the opposite Lingzhou city wall, not even a single wall.
Such cruelty frightened him, and the tenacity and bravery of the Xia soldiers at the top of the city chilled him even more. If Xia Bing continues to defend the city as usual, when will the Mongolian army break the city?
Even if Lingzhou City was destroyed, how many people would be left in the Mongolian army after such a bloody and brutal fight?
Chahan and Xili Qianbu looked at the big tent in Wokuotai, looked at each other, and were speechless for a moment.
To be able to make the usually calm Wo Kuotai lose his composure shows that the brutality of this war exceeded many people's expectations.
Genghis Khan's wishful thinking of quickly conquering Lingzhou City may be in vain.
"Chahan, haven't you noticed that there are many guards on the city, and they don't seem to be from Xia."
Xili Qianbu looked around and whispered in Chahan's ear.
"What did you say?"
Chahan was shocked and looked at Xili Qianbu in disbelief.
How can this be? Could it be said that Xixia still has reinforcements?
"I have been observing these days. Among the defenders, there are many people with fair faces, and their behavior does not seem to be that of Xia people. Moreover, these people are well-trained and different from other defenders."
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Xili Qianbu continued to whisper, explaining Chahan's doubts.
"No wonder that General Cao is so weird, it turns out he is not from Xia!"
Chahan stared for a moment and suddenly realized.
The general Cao he saw in Lingzhou Yamen was very impressive, and Li Deren was also polite. It turned out to be reinforcements, so no wonder he didn't recognize him.
"However, the Jin people don't seem to be so fair. Could they be the Jin soldiers at the border of the Han River in Song and Jin Dynasties?"
Chahan became confused again.
"I don't know! However, these reinforcements should not be from Xia."
Xi Liqianbu shook his head, also full of doubts.
The two looked at each other, Chahan hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"Xili Qianbu, what do you think I tell the Great Khan about this?"
"It's up to you. However, I didn't say anything and I didn't know about it."
Xili Qianbu looked calm, as if the matter really had nothing to do with him.
"The Great Khan can't listen to anyone's words now, and it's all in vain. Don't you think so?"
Chahan said softly, and both Xili and Qianbu smiled, and turned their eyes to the city head again.
What if I tell Genghis Khan? Can I help capture Lingzhou City?
Outside the moat, more than a dozen repaired trebuchets used the high wall of corpses to throw rotten and smelly corpses onto the city head and into the city. Some were blocked by shields, and the rest were thrown out of the city by Xia Jun. The head may be burned on the spot.
The Song army's artillery fired, and not long after, the bodies were blown up into a mess, the trebuchets swayed here and there, and were smashed one after another. The gunners suffered heavy casualties and fled back in a hurry.
Countless Mongolian troops climbed up to the top of the city. There was a fierce battle on the top of Mengxia City. You came and I went back and forth, the collision of iron and blood, but Lingzhou City remained strong, showing no signs of defeat.
"Torre, it's getting late, withdraw your troops."
Subotai whispered weakly.
The siege failed again and again, and the Mongolian army did not gain any advantage. The casualties were shocking. There are only so many people on the grassland, do they have to fight to the death with Xia Jun?
"Torre, it's impossible to break the city today. It's getting late, so we'd better withdraw our troops."
Ashu Lu said hoarsely. Days of dispatching troops and generals had made him seriously injured.
"Send the order and call for gold to withdraw the troops!"
Torre calmly gave the military order, turned around and rode away.
No one knew what was going on in his mind at the moment.
All the generals looked at each other without saying anything, and they all beat their horses and followed listlessly.
I don’t know how to report it to Genghis Khan when I get back, and how furious Genghis Khan would be?
Finally, at dusk, after countless charges, the horns of the Mongolian army were blown to withdraw their troops. Countless Mongolian troops evacuated the Shura Field and retreated like a tide. Countless corpses, swords, guns, arrows, broken vehicles and broken flags were left behind, covering the cold and silent snowfield.
