Remember in one second, provide you with high speed. Hu Yanqing and their hot air balloons were the first to land. At that time, he stared at the situation on the ground. Now that they are one minute later and are more hopeful of survival and victory. After all, they have no ability to resist when they are in the air, so it is safer to land on the ground.

In the early morning, it was the time when a person was most relaxed, and the fewest people on the streets and the city. In addition, the Xixia soldiers in the city never thought that the enemy would come from the sky. So when Hu Yanqing and his friends were about to land in the city, no one noticed it. It was not until the first hot air balloon landed on the city that it attracted the attention of the Xixia people. However, these people were more frightened at the beginning. After all, such a huge thing suddenly fell from the sky, it was like encountering a monster for the Xixia people.

With the first hot air balloon landing, other hot air balloons followed closely, and some people fell on the high city, but their luck was not very good, because the city was most defensive and the number of Xixia soldiers was the largest. When the Xixia people reacted, it was estimated that no Song soldiers who fell on it would have been able to survive.

Fortunately, only a few people with bad luck. Most of the hot air balloons landed in the city, and were distributed near the east gate. Hu Yanqing was also among them. However, his luck was not very good. He landed on a tall house. There were no trees around for them to climb, and they could not find a ladder. Finally, Hu Yanqing and others directly penetrated the house, and then jumped off the beam of the house, which scared the owner of the house to death.

When Hu Yanqing and the others rushed to the street, there were still many hot air balloons landing in the sky. According to their previous agreement, the soldiers who landed in the city had to gather at the east gate of Xingqing Mansion as quickly as possible. Therefore, Hu Yanqing and the others immediately began to run towards the east gate. Along the way, they met many brothers who had just escaped from the hot air balloons, making their team grow bigger and bigger like snowballs. When they met the patrol team of Xixia people on the road, they even killed them without dodging.

At this time, the Xixia people had already discovered that the Song army had fallen from the sky. After experiencing the initial chaos, they finally realized that the Song army had used hot air balloons many times in order to observe the enemy situation. There were not many Xixia people who had seen hot air balloons at that time, so these people first reacted and immediately began to organize human-to-mand counterattacks.

Faced with the enemy's obstruction, all the Song army entering the city began to gather towards the east gate at all costs, because they all knew that only by gathering together and opening the city gate at the fastest speed would they have a glimmer of life, otherwise they would have to wait for the Xixia people to slowly be wiped out.

Hu Yanqing gathered nearly 300 people along the way, some of which were his old subordinates, but more were scattered Song troops. However, these people had been trained in advance and would obey any superior's orders after entering the city. As Du Yanqing, as Du Yanqing, naturally, had the right to order them. What's more, since he abused prisoners of war last time, he has gained fame in the army. Even Du Shi, who is a member of the same level, was very convinced by him.

The team of 300 people was already considered a terrible force. In addition, the place where they landed was not far from the East Gate, so after rushing all the way, they quickly arrived at the East Gate. However, at this time, the people of Xixia also understood what these Song troops who fell from the sky were going to do. Many Xixia generals led their men to the East Gate. Unfortunately, due to limited time, the East Gate now only gathered less than a thousand Xixia soldiers.

The three hundred people led by Hu Yanqing arrived at the east gate first. Although the Xixia soldiers in front of the city gate were three times that of his own, he still ordered the attack without hesitation. The other soldiers of the Song Dynasty did not show any fear, but showed cruel expressions. They took out grenades from their waist bags, ignited the fuse and threw them over.

The Xixia people had experienced the power of grenades before. When they saw the Song army opposite, they all showed a terrified expression and calmly started shooting arrows immediately. However, there were many houses and buildings in front of the east gate. Hu Yanqing and the others hid behind these buildings, and were not afraid of the other party's bows and arrows. Instead, the Xixia people guarding in front of the city gate had nowhere to hide, and the grenades that were thrown over were screaming in tears.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of fighting with the Xixia people, Hu Yanqing took out a signal flare from his body. In fact, this thing was a special firework. He inserted the bamboo stick at the tail on the ground to ignite the fuse. As a result, the signal flare emitted a sharp thrust and flew into the air, and then a red light exploded with a "bang". This was actually a message to other Song soldiers in the city, indicating that they had arrived at the east gate and began to compete for control of the city gate, so that they could come and help quickly.

As soon as the signal flare came out, the other Song troops in the city were also shocked. Some of the gathering Song troops began to speed up to the east gate, while others scattered and in desperate situations roared and began to escape desperately. As long as they could escape from the siege of the Xixia people, they might be able to hold on until the moment the army entered the city.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the signal flare was sent, two more Song troops rushed to the city gate. They also fired the signal flare like Hu Yanqing and then began to attack the Xixia army in front of the city gate. At this time, the Song army had reached seven or eight hundred, which was not much smaller than the Xixia people. In addition, they were equipped with a large number of firearms, and they were all elites among the Song army, so they quickly killed the Xixia army in front of the city gate and fled in scattered.

"Hahahaha, open the city gate!" Hu Yanqing immediately shouted excitedly when he saw this. With his order, his soldiers immediately opened the gate of the city gate and then opened the heavy city gate. The city gate at the east gate has two floors. Hu Yanqing and others opened only the city gate of the city gate. Only by passing through the city gate can you see the real city gate. The Xixia army is also guarding this city gate, but the number is not large.

At that moment, Hu Yanqing and his troops were divided into two groups, one of which went straight to the real city gate, and the other was along the wall of the city wall. There were also Xixia troops on the top of the city, but now it was in chaos. Many people rushed to the city gate just now, but were killed by Hu Yanqing and others. Most of the remaining people had no fighting spirit. After just resisting for a moment, they were killed by Hu Yanqing and others again. The city head fell into the hands of the Song army for a while, but they had to face the counterattack of the Xixia people. After all, the city walls were connected, and the other defenders on the city wall would definitely come soon.

The Song army below had already passed through the empty wall city and came to the city gate. There were only 500 Xixia troops guarding the city gate. Although their number was small, they were the elite of Xixia. Before the Song army could arrive, they shot a series of bows and arrows, causing the Song army to suffer a lot of casualties. However, the Song army was not outdone. Some people advanced with shields or wooden boards they picked up on the road, and then threw the grenades in their hands into the Xixia army. As a result, each grenade explosion caused great chaos among the Xixia people, and the shooting of the bows and arrows was also affected.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the generals of the Song army who were commanding the battle below gave the order, and the entire army launched a decisive charge again. At the same time, the grenades in their hands were thrown out as if they were not worth it. As a result, the Xixia people on the opposite side were blown away. After they rushed into the city gate, the two sides started a cruel hand-to-hand fight. In addition, some Song soldiers took the opportunity to run to prepare to open the city gate.

The gate of Xingqing Mansion is very tall and heavy, and it is very difficult to open it. However, the Song army had already gained an advantage at this time. The Xixia people guarding the city gate might run away, which also allowed more Song soldiers to participate in the opening operation. In this way, when the morning sun in the east showed half of their faces, the heavy east gate was finally opened slowly. At the same time, the city tower on the city gate was also controlled by Hu Yanqing and others, and the suspension bridge on the moat in front of the city gate was finally slowly lowered.

Yang Wenguang and other generals of the Song Dynasty outside the city had been waiting anxiously. Although the light was dim, they had been holding a telescope to look at Xingqing Mansion in front of them. They had been preparing for this plan for so long. If they failed, they would definitely cause any damage to them.

When the shouts of killing in the city sounded, Yang Wenguang and the others felt more like they were being lifted up. Some people walked around anxiously, and waited until the explosion and fighting sounded in the city gate at the east gate. Yang Wenguang and the others finally showed joy, because this showed that the Song army in the city had already reached the front of the city gate and the entire plan had been mostly successful.

When the east gate slowly opened, Yang Wenguang, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately shouted: "Catch Li Liangzuo alive!"

"Capture Li Liangzuo alive!" Yang Wenguang's order was immediately passed down layer by layer. At the same time, a cavalry as the vanguard rushed out like a sharp arrow. Although the cavalry was not conducive to siege and was greatly restricted in the city, it was difficult to exert the strength of the cavalry. However, the airborne troops in the city were weak and could be eliminated by the counterattacking Xixia army at any time. Therefore, as soon as they could enter the city, Hu Yanqing and others would have less pressure.

The number of cavalry in the Song army was not large, and this time only two thousand people were arranged as vanguards. The first batch of them rushed over the suspension bridge and entered the city, responded to Hu Yanqing and others, and strengthened their control over the city gate. Then, the 70,000 troops commanded by Yang Wenguang and others rushed in. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty gushed out from the east gate like a flood, and pointed directly to the palace along the streets of Xingqing Prefecture. As long as Li Liangzuo could be killed or captured, Xixia would never have a chance to turn over again. For a time, the entire Xingqing Prefecture was filled with the Song army's shouting "Catch Li Liangzuo alive". To be continued...
