The blade of that sword stopped when it was less than half the length of Tang Ning's index finger, which Qi Fu had seen with his own eyes. He reminded Tang Ning loudly, but the battlefield was too chaotic, and the shouting would immediately dissipate in the other voices.

Although the little soldier was wearing the armor of the Western Army, judging by his movements, he must have attacked his brother-in-law. A few days ago, I was wondering why the assassin who chased and killed my brother-in-law didn't come.

I thought that I was in Huanzhou, and the assassin didn't dare to do it in the territory of the Western Army, but I didn't expect to wait here.

Gritting his teeth and getting up, Qi Fu was about to rush over to help Tang Ning.

I saw the assassin viciously kick Downing in the ass, kicking him into a dog and throwing him down on the city wall. The Assassin then stopped and hurried down the city.

"Stop! Hold it! Qi Fu chased after him and shouted, but did not catch up with the assassin. So he could only stop, stretched out his hand to support Tang Ning, and asked repeatedly, "Brother-in-law!" Brother-in-law, are you okay? ”

Tang Ning stood up with Qi Fu's strength and replied loudly, "I'm fine!" Did the thieves attack? I think someone kicked my ass just now! ”

"Brother-in-law, you didn't feel wrong, that assassin came, he was going to kill you, but for some reason he stopped, and after kicking you, he ran away......"

As soon as he said this, Chong Pu came over in a hurry.

He searched for a long time and Tang Ning didn't find him, afraid that something would happen to him, and even more afraid that he would do something.

Suddenly, seeing Qi Fu and Tang Ning talking there, Chong Pu was furious: "You two! When is this time and you still have the heart to chat here, even if you can't kill the enemy, don't do harm here!

Do you think this is a child's house? It's war!

Get out of here! ”

Tang Ning hurriedly said: "My lord, it's not that you don't help, but ......."

"Less fucking nonsense, quickly disappear from Lao Tzu's eyes! Your business, let's settle the account when it's over! Chong Pu didn't listen to Tang Ning's explanation, and saw that he was about to let his guards take Tang Ning and Qi Fu down.

Tang Ning had no choice but to follow Qi Fu down the city. When Lin Wei, who helped the defenders pour four barrels of gold juice, turned around to look for Tang Ning, he saw Tang Ning and Qi Fu walking towards the city.

I wondered why the two of them were going down, but they kept up quickly.

The three of them went all the way down the city, and there were hundreds of people standing at the gate of the city, presumably to prevent the city gate from being breached and the enemy army rushing in.

During this time, he saw that many of the wounded were transported to the wounded barracks, so he thought that although he could not assist in the battle in the city, he would better go to the wounded barracks to help, even if it was a start, and he could help a little.

So he said to Qi Fu and Lin Wei: "You two go back first, I'm going to help in the wounded barracks." ”

Qi Fu, who left the city, was much better, his legs were not weak, his waist was not sore, and he blinked and said to Tang Ning: "Brother-in-law, why don't you let me help too." I still have some strength, so it shouldn't be a problem to help you carry someone or something.

Besides, the assassin line just now

I can't stab you, I can't tell you somewhere now, I'm by your side, so I can protect you. ”

Lin Wei was shocked: "That assassin just came to assassinate the Lord again?" ”

Qi Fu nodded and said, "That's right, it's just strange that the assassin had a chance to make a move, but for some reason he just kicked his brother-in-law and left." ”

Lin Wei blamed himself: "It's all my fault, if I hadn't ...... just now"

Tang Ning hurriedly said: "Okay, don't say frustrating words, it's no wonder you two for this." After all, it was so chaotic at the time, and it's understandable that you two didn't notice.

And I'm not standing here right now. ”

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go to the wounded barracks." If we can't help in the city, let's go to the wounded barracks and contribute our own strength. ”

………………

Two hours later, the corpses left behind by the Tanguts temporarily retreated. The resoluteness of the will of the defenders of Huanzhou to resist was completely beyond their expectations.

Perhaps unwilling to spend too much time here, the Xia army first surrounded the entire Huanzhou city with heavy troops, and then sent a vanguard army to penetrate into the communication arteries between the two states of Huanqing and defend the town of Mubo in case reinforcements came to Huanzhou.

The Tanguts moved so quickly that when the Gyeongju Marshal's Mansion learned that Huanju was besieged, it was already four hours before the battle for Huanju began.

In these four hours, the Western Xia people launched a total of three attacks, and the defenders of Huanzhou and the Xia army fought fiercely, and both sides suffered damage, but the casualties of the Xia army were more heavy.

The Western Army has rich experience and is familiar with defensive warfare. The soldiers knew how to use their bunkers to protect themselves from the rain of arrows, and the reserves of rolling wood and gold juice in Huanzhou were very abundant, and all the trees near Huanzhou were planted and cut down before that.

On the other hand, the Western Xia people did not know how to attack the city, but they seemed to be in a hurry. Judging by the frequency of their attacks and the number of people involved, it seemed that they wanted to take Huanzhou City before dark.

I don't know if all this has anything to do with Xiaolianghou, generally speaking, the Western Xia people can fight the battle of 200,000 against 6,000 so stupidly, probably with a person who dictates to the commander of the Xia army.

It was dark, and the Xia army temporarily retreated. Rest at night until dawn tomorrow and continue the siege.

This also gave the Huanzhou defenders a respite, eating when it was time to eat, and sleeping when it was time to sleep.

And in the Gyeongju Marshal's Mansion, no one could sleep on this night.

"Report~! Marshal, General Zhi sent someone to deliver a message, he has arrived at Maling to wait. ”

"Very good, tell the messenger to go back and tell General Zhe, and say that Ben Shuai has given him command and that he can move freely. And the marshal will also send Liu Heng, Dang Wan, and Zhang Xi as reinforcements.

Tell him not to be anxious, and to wait until a good opportunity to act. ”

"Yui!" The little soldier retreated with his fists, and Zhang Ji rubbed his forehead and sighed.

There were only more than 6,000 people in Huanzhou, and seven died

Thousand people. And the information he got was that the thieves had come to 200,000 this time, which was not much different from what he had estimated at the beginning.

And the thief's current behavior is also expected by him.

If the Xia army did not completely besiege the walled cities, it would not be able to prevent its own soldiers from cooperating with each other and fighting mobile warfare with them. If all the walled cities are encircled, there will be less than 10,000 in each place, and there is no deep trouble.

Zhang Kai's biggest concern was not whether the Xia army would encircle or not, but whether Huanzhou City, which was the main attack site of the Xia army, could be defended.

The strategic significance of Huanzhou City in Huanqing Road is too great, if Huanzhou City is broken, the Gyeongju Marshal Mansion will be naked in front of the Xia army.

As a transportation artery, the town of Mubo has now been occupied by the Xia army. Even if the Xia army did not occupy this place, even if all the 50,000 defenders of Huanqing Road were put into the defense of Mubo Town, I am afraid that they would not be able to hold off the Xia army's attack.

Thinking of this, Zhang Qi felt a headache. Now I can only hope for Chongpu, hoping that he can defend Huanzhou City......

Even if you can't hold it, you have to buy some more time for the fold......

………………

On the night of the twelfth, both the plain area where the Xia army was stationed and the Huanzhou city guarded by the Song army was a dead silence.

Downing's hands were covered in blood, which he had stained as he stitched up the wounds of the wounded soldiers.

Fortunately, there were not many seriously wounded, and most of these injuries were abrasions or arrow wounds.

In the six-hour battle, the Xia army did not attack the city. Although the place where Downing was located at the beginning was inhabited, when he left the city and the soldiers who were reinforcing the defense arrived, no one came out of the place again.

It can be seen that it is not a kind of park that dislikes him, this person is indeed a drag oil bottle.

Tang Ning, Qi Fu, and Lin Wei sat on the edge of the fire to roast the fire, just finished dinner, and were ready to rest for a while, and then go back to the barracks to sleep.

I was feeling that I had thrown too much gold juice in my head, and it smelled of all over Huanzhou City, and I was smashed by something on my body.

When I looked down, it was a water bladder. Reaching out to pick it up, Tang Ning looked up blankly. I saw that the partial general who had a conflict with Chen Ke before was looking at him with a smile.

"Open it and take a sip." The partial general said to Tang Ning.

Tang Ning thought to himself, everyone is a good brother who has fought side by side, and this person should not harm himself. So he uncorked the bottle and poured it into his mouth.

"It's ......" liquid enters the mouth, and it is a strong fragrance. Tang Ning was surprised, this was clearly wine.

"Shh He stretched out a finger and put it in front of his mouth: "This is a good thing that the brothers treasure, I saw your performance on the city wall today, and the brothers have seen it."

So everyone discussed it, and they were ready to give you this good thing, drink it secretly, and don't make a noise. ”

Tang Ning nodded shyly, and the general added: "But it's still a shame that you fell down just after shouting that sentence." ”
