"In order to occupy Qingtang, the official family must take out more than 180,000 troops in order to firmly control Qingtang in their own hands.

In addition, after getting Qingtang, you will also get a large area of land, which cannot be wasted, and what can be reclaimed needs to be reclaimed, and what cannot be reclaimed must also be found to make this land useful. ”

Miao Lu rolled his eyes and said to Tang Ning: "I don't know if you have been here for a long time, and you don't know anything about things outside."

The official family has invested at least 300,000 manpower here, and there are still many displaced people in the south who are migrating to this side, and when the war in Qingtang is over, the official family will allocate land to them and let them cultivate and feed themselves. ”

Tang Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in his heart that he was too naïve.

The battle of Huaihe Village lasted four full hours, and the shouts of killing were endless for four hours. The Song army once invaded the wall, and finally was beaten out by the Qingtang defenders, and the intensity of the battle was outrageous.

Seeing that Huaihe Zhai could not be attacked for a long time, Miao Lu finally ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and after regrouping, he attacked again.

This battle made Tang Ning see the courage of the Qingtang people, before that, the Qingtang people he met not only did not know how to defend the city, but even the attack on the city wall was not very good.

This once made Tang Ning think that Qingtang people were just at this level.

But this time Tang Ning found that the Qingtang people were not soft persimmons, and after the withdrawal of troops, both sides sent personnel to clean up the battlefield.

And just cleaning up the battlefield took another two hours of effort.

And that's just the separation of the dead bodies of the soldiers on both sides.

The Qingtang people's method of disposing of the dead bodies is very simple, pull them with a car, pull them to the plain behind Huaihe Village and throw them away, and in a few days, the vultures and wolves will turn the corpses into a pile of white bones.

The Song army used cremation, and the soldiers of the Zhenjiang army still had dog tags around their necks to make them easy to identify, while Miao Lu's subordinates were not so lucky.

The firelight illuminated the entire Song army camp transparently, even in the deepest night, it was still as bright as day.

At the end of the day, Miao Lu did not take any action against Huaihe Village. But early the next morning, Miao Lu sent people to the village to persuade him to surrender.

The general of the Huaihe Village defender is a general under the ghost chapter. His name was Daang, not as tall as the others, and he had a well-proportioned figure with a standard Tibetan hairstyle on his head.

Looking at Daang standing on the ruined wall from afar, Tang Ningxin said that if this was changed to a Song people's hairstyle, he would really think that he was a personable Confucian general.

Daang's response to the Song army was to rather die than surrender. This was not too unexpected for Downing, and the soldier who went to persuade him to surrender came back embarrassed with an arrow stuck in his buttocks.

Miao Lu didn't say much, and ordered the tiger squat cannon to fire, and the whole army advanced, and Huaihe Village must be captured today.

This time, the Qingtang people learned to be sharp, and they drilled holes in the ruined wall, so that the archers could observe the position of the Song army through this small hole, and then carried out round after round of projectiles in the wall.

Fortunately, Miao Lu's order this time was for the whole army to advance, so when the locust-like arrow rain of the Qingtang people fell from the sky, the dense Song army array had countless shields of all sizes to block these arrows one by one.

However, there are still unlucky people who are accidentally shot in the thigh or other parts by an arrow that burrows into the gap, and an arrow grazes Downing's cheek, scaring Downing into a disillusionment.

Fortunately, the arrow did not harm Tang Ning, but Pei Xiantong, who was heavily armed beside Tang Ning, laughed disdainfully.

The Song army was stationed only two thousand steps away from Huaihe Village, and soon the Song Army had arrived at Huaihe Village.

Then the Song army and the defenders of Huaihe Village once again began a fierce hand-to-hand battle as yesterday.

Miao Lu and Tang Ning were still standing from a distance and watching, with crooked arrows stuck in front of them.

In his words, the more you are afraid that these arrows will hit you, the more you will be hit. And if you are fearless, these arrows will even go around you.

Downing doesn't believe this kind of statement, and the only reason to go around you is because of your luck and the poor alignment on the other side......

Like Pei Xiantong, after suffering a loss, it is the right choice to honestly arm himself to the teeth.

Tang Ning turned his head to look at Pei Xiantong beside him, and found that her eyes hidden in the helmet were still as bright as before, and the contempt that was difficult to hide when facing herself was still pouring out of her eyes~.

"Do you look down on me?" Tang Ning said angrily.

"How dare I look down on you?" Pei Xiantong replied in a weird way.

"Then why are you looking at me like that?"

"What? What eyes do I look at you, do you want to prescribe it too? ”

"You ......"

"Alright, you two don't quarrel." Miao Lu frowned and reprimanded: "It's not at home, this is the battlefield, what kind of style is flirting?" It's like this every day, and when the war is over, the old man will join you sooner or later!

Just like you, you are also worthy of being a soldier of the Zhenjiang army? ”

Tang Ning walked out from behind Lin Wei with a guilty face and glared at Pei Xiantong fiercely.

Pei Xiantong sent his head forward, and then retracted it again. Even though her mouth was covered by a helmet, she must have been sticking her tongue out of herself.

Damn woman, no big or small, when the war is over, Gao Gao wants to find a chance to clean her up......

The battle of Huaihe Village lasted from early morning to dusk again, and this time the Song army still did not make much progress. The resistance of the Qingtang people was extreme

Fierce, as if there were their families in the village, they didn't want the bandit-like Song army to step into the village for half a step.

After Miao Lu ordered the withdrawal of troops, he has been closing his eyes in his big tent to recuperate. Tang Ning, as his deputy, was naturally in the big tent with the two prison soldiers, looking at Miao Lu who was closing his eyes and staring at him.

In the end, the prison army finally couldn't help but ask: "General Miao, this Huaihe Village, I'm afraid it can't be defeated by a hard fight, right?" ”

Tang Ning felt that this overseer was already very polite, and gave full command to Miao Lu, he was only responsible for logistics matters, and did not point fingers too much, this is a very self-aware person.

Miao Lu sighed and said, "Chu Jian Jun, then tell me, how to attack this Huaihe Village?" ”

When the overseer heard this, he closed his mouth. He doesn't know anything about military affairs, so let him command, it's better to let the soldiers wipe their necks together.

This is also the reason why he handed over the command to Miao Lu.

The battle is fought, and both of them have merit, and they are prosperous and rich together. The battle was not good, both of them were guilty, and they went to Huangquan hand in hand.

Commanded by yourself, the probability of success is very slim, and the probability of failure is skyrocketing. Therefore, it is the most correct choice to let Miao Lu command.

Miao Lu sighed again and said, "Prison Army, the general knows that you are in a hurry, but at this time, you can't be in a hurry." The fierce resistance of the defenders of Huaihe Village is to make us anxious and lose our square inch.

Otherwise, they won't even have a 1/10,000 chance of winning......"

Tang Ning had just eaten dinner, and he felt drowsy when he listened to Miao Lu talking to the prison guard.

After finding an excuse to leave the big tent, Tang Ning went to the wounded barracks to inspect it.

The wounded barracks still came according to the standards of the Zhenjiang Army, clean, tidy, and there was no noise. The soldiers who had treated their wounds were snoring and falling asleep, while those who were treating their wounds were gritting their teeth and refusing to make a sound to disturb the brothers' dreams.

"I like it here, and I don't like it here." Pei Xiantong, who was following behind Tang Ning, wrinkled his nose and said, "It's very clean here, but the smell of wine is too strong, and they are all injured soldiers......"

"Like is like, dislike is dislike, where do you like and dislike?" Tang Ning shook his head and smiled: "It's already very good here, in the former wounded barracks, several people were piled together, and they couldn't tell whether they were dead or not." ”

As he spoke, Tang Ning suddenly felt a rumbling sound in his ears. Frowning and looking down, he found a stone at his feet, rolling left and right.

Earthquake?!

Tang Ning was shocked in his heart, but in an instant he breathed a sigh of relief. The area where the Song army was stationed was located in a gentle place, with no mountains or large rivers on the left and right. The earthquake had little impact on the Song army.

But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard a heart-rending roar: "Enemy attack!" ”
