King of Song

Chapter 360 Fatal Strike

Recently, Wang Shao has been under a lot of pressure.

The gossip in Qingzhou City had already made him a little scared, and it was also the first time he had seen what it means to be fearful.He had heard about the grievances and grievances between Wang Xianggong's family and Lin Zhao.But even if Wang Anshi instructed him, he would never do this. Wang Shao is an upright person, from beginning to end.

But his behavior is unavoidably misleading!In order to confuse the Xixia people and attract Liang Yibu's attention, Dashun City must be precarious and in crisis. Only in this way can Liang Yibu concentrate his attention and want to conquer Dashun City as soon as possible.

As long as he is eager for success and focuses his attention on Dashun City, his chance will come.Wang Shao knew very well that doing so would be very unfair to the defenders of Dashun City, Lin Zhao and Jing Sili, and he also felt guilty, but sometimes there was nothing he could do about it, and no one could do anything about it.

A lot of painstaking efforts cannot be humane to outsiders, and few people understand themselves.There were even rumors and slanderous words, Wang Shao felt very uncomfortable.Zhekexing, who was far away in Fuzhou, even sent a letter, asking him to protect Lin Zhaoquan.

Although the implication was very polite and did not mean to urge, but Wang Shao knew in his heart that someone in Fuzhou was in a hurry.After all, Lin Zhao is the son-in-law of the Zhejia of Fuzhou. Although he is also the Zhizhou, how can he, the Zhizhou of Gyeongju, compare with the Zhejia of Fuzhou who has been based in the cloud for hundreds of years?
Wang Shao was under a lot of pressure, but he managed to survive.When Dashun City released the beacon fire for the first time, he had to make a gesture and symbolically send reinforcements to rescue him. In the end, he was defeated and retreated to Liyuan Fort, unable to hold on.As a result, the arrogant Xixia people had the illusion that people in the Song Dynasty were easy to bully, and they were scared out of their wits.

In fact, Gyeongju at this time can be said to be an empty city. Except for the daily defenders, most of the troops have been transferred away.If Liang Yibu led an army to raid Gyeongju at this time, he might succeed in one fell swoop and capture Gyeongju.But his attention was completely on Lin Zhao in Dashun City, so he missed an opportunity for no reason.

Wang Shao led his army around thousands of miles and entered Xixia territory from Qinfeng Road.Because of the full cooperation of Han Jiang, the Xuanfu envoy of Shanxi Road, the road was unimpeded.After entering the territory of Xixia, he hid in the mountains and plains. Liang Yibu was patronizing Dashun City, but he didn't care.

It stands to reason that Li Fugui should have thought that he could reach the back of Dashun City by taking a detour of thousands of miles.But he didn't pay much attention to observation on weekdays, and his field of vision only stayed in Gyeongju, so he didn't think much about it.Under the influence of stereotyped thinking, it is believed that there is no way to reach Dashun City in Gyeongju except Liyuan Fort.Liang Yibu also carelessly believed that there was only one road from the entire territory of the Song Dynasty to Dashun City, so he only set up an ambush in Liyuan Fort.

When Wang Shao came behind him, he didn't even know it.

It has been three or four days since this Song army of nearly 2 people arrived here, but Wang Shao has been standing still and did not attack rashly.He was waiting, when Liang Yibu was completely overwhelmed and ignored everything else, he suddenly launched an attack.Only in this way can a fatal blow be guaranteed.

But can Dashun City hold on?This is what Wang Shao is most worried about.In the event that the city was destroyed and people were killed, and Lin Zhao and Jing Sili died in battle, even if he had a thousand mouths, he would not be able to speak clearly.He will inevitably be infamous, his innocence will be ruined, and he will have feuds with people such as Fuzhou Zhejia, Cao Guojiu's family, and even the Empress Dowager.This risk is really great, and this scale is also difficult to grasp.

Wang Shao was under no less pressure than Lin Zhao and the others!He could only send out scouts and spies to keep an eye on the situation in Dashun City and respond immediately.

Finally on this evening, the scouts took Wang Shao up a mountain, and saw the beacon fire soaring into the sky in the distance.

Dashun City had reached the most critical moment, Wang Shao no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered [-] cavalry to dispatch to Dashun City immediately.The infantry followed and dealt a fatal blow to the Xixia people.

When getting on the horse, Wang Shao put the letter written by Zhe Kexing into his bosom, and the letter paper was already completely soaked by the sweat of his palm.Wang Shao took a deep breath and said silently: Lin Zhao, hold on, I'm coming!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dusk, Xixia Camp!
The battle in Dashun City in the distance was raging. Countless torches almost made the sky red and bright, almost like daytime.

Liang Yibu, Prime Minister of the Xixia Kingdom, personally stood under the city to supervise the battle, and the Xixia army was going all out to attack the already precarious Dashun City.They firmly believe that according to the current offensive without stopping and going all out to attack, maybe tonight, or tomorrow morning at the latest, they will be able to break through the city.

Liang Yibu was very proud, his hard work finally paid off, and he was about to destroy the city.Standing under the city, he could vaguely see Lin Zhao running around on the top of the city, commanding the battle, and even wielding a knife to fight, very brave.

You kid, let's be proud for a while, tomorrow morning is your death date.When the city is broken, I will make you kneel at my feet and beg for mercy!
Thinking of this, Liang Yibu would show a ferocious smile, and then command the army to step up the attack.

The Xixia soldiers also knew that as soon as Dashun City was captured, their current hardship would be over.Liang Guoxiang will also have rewards, so a string is tense, and he wants to attack the city with all his might.

Under such circumstances, all eyes were on Dashun City.On the contrary, the Xixia camp five miles away did not pay much attention. Although there were still some soldiers guarding them, after rounds of non-stop attacks, the soldiers who returned to the camp were extremely tired and needed a rest.

Therefore, they are all very slack. In addition, the front is the army of the Prime Minister, and the rear is the hinterland of Xixia. There should be no problem with safety. There is no psychological defense, so the defense of the entire camp is very lax.

After Chen Qiao saw this situation, he was very excited, how could he let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Lax defense is a good opportunity for him to escape. As for whether he can break through Dashun City, what does it have to do with him?

The city was broken, and Liang Yibu was so excited that he would not care about a small person like himself.In the defeat, Liang Yibu was afraid that he would have to run for his life too, how could he remember himself?So regardless of the success or failure of the Xixia people, I can escape calmly!

How great it would be to go to the Western Regions and become a rich man!Chen Qiao couldn't help sighing, Li Fugui, since you don't want to leave, then ask for blessings!

Taking advantage of the Western Xia soldiers not paying attention, Chen Qiao slipped out quietly, intending to steal a horse from the stable and leave quickly.While untying the reins, he fantasized about a better life in the future, but at this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.

Chen Qiao was shocked, and when he subconsciously wanted to shout, his throat was already choked.Before completely losing consciousness, he saw a cold face from between the blurred eyes...
