Riding a majestic war horse, Liang Yibury entered Yanzhou City with his head held high.

After a night and half a day of street fighting, Yanzhou City was finally completely recovered by the Western Xia army.

Xu Xi, Gao Yongneng, and a eunuch named Li Shunju all died in the city, and the main generals and officials in Yanzhou City only ran away with one Qu Zhen. The Song people's army in Yanzhou City can be said to be completely annihilated. In the more than ten days of defending the city, the defenders were so damaged that they could not even organize a decent breakout.

One general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies, which is the credit of Xu Xi. But this does not prevent Liang Yibury from being proud of this.

However, the excitement was only momentary, and the urgent news of the military situation from the east reached the city of Yanzhou--Chongge had broken through the defensive lines set up in Zuocunze, Liuboling, and Tiemenguan, and rushed towards Yanzhou.

The seed is coming.

The elite of the 30,000 Yanlu horse infantry army under his command weighed heavily on the hearts of the Empress Dowager and courtiers of Western Xia.

Compared with Gao Zunyu, the soldiers of the planting are more mature and spicy, and it is difficult to resist.

Compared with the Huanqing Army, which had already lost its elite under Lingzhou City, the Yan Army did not suffer even a little more damage, and had been recuperating for several months.

If you want to keep the land of Yinxia, you must block and defeat Chong Yu and his army, so that you can recover Yinzhou and Xiazhou.

There is no power to blame, and the generals sent to intercept the seeds are ineffective, and the key now is who will resist the seeds first? Wear off his spirit?

In the lobby of the Yanzhou City Palace, no one answered Empress Dowager Liang's question.

This issue had been discussed before during the attack on Yanzhou, and the decision at that time was to reconsider it and wait for the reaction of the people to deal with it.

Many people think that Chong Ge will never help Xu Xi, and for the rescue of Western Xia, he must be able to push and push, as long as he sends troops to intercept the Yan army, he will push the boat down the river. And the performance after planting a seed also proves this view.

But now that the seed is rushing after the fall of Yanzhou, he must give an answer.

No one wants to stop the sharpness of the seeds, especially after the Battle of Yanzhou. Without adequate rest, they immediately went into battle to deal with a strong enemy, and the hope of victory was illusory, and huge losses could never be avoided.

"How about defending the city first? and then cut off his grain path. Ye Balla proposed: "When the seed comes out of Youzhou, there must not be much grain to be brought out. ”

"Can this city be held?" When Empress Dowager Liang entered the city, she also witnessed the tragic situation of the Yanzhou city wall. If anyone says that they will definitely be able to hold Yanzhou City, Liang is the first to disbelieve it.

"Two or three days is fine." "Except for one gap, the walls in other parts of the city can last for a few days. As long as the gap is filled in time and heavy guards are put in, it can be held out for two or three more days. The crops came from afar, and the grain and grass were scarce. When the Iron Harrier recovers his strength, it will be easy to defeat him when the time comes. ”

Ren Duohan followed: "Within dozens of miles nearby, all the wood that can come in handy has been used before. Without siege equipment, even the Song people don't want to easily capture a city. ”

"And there's a big camp there. It is impossible for all of the 100,000 troops to enter Yanzhou City and station, and some of them must be placed in the large camp outside. Liang Yiqi wanted to prove himself and added, "Yanzhou City and the big camp in the west are in a horn situation, and they can support each other, even if they are a kind of soldiers, they can't attack the city or attack the big camp at will." ”

Empress Dowager Liang nodded, anyway, it was impossible to force these old foxes to take their sons and daughters to block the knife edge of the seeds, and it was already good to have the confidence to defend the city. And his nephew is right, if the 100,000 army wants to hold on, the strength of the seed is far from enough to break the guards of Yanzhou City.

"Li Qing." Empress Dowager Liang lit up the chief general of the Han army, who had always been silent, "Do you think Yanzhou City can be defended?" ”

Standing at the end of the line, Li Qing, who was almost turned into a stone statue, owed to the Liang family. He had been silently listening to the Empress Dowager Liang and the important ministers before, he did not have the right to intervene in the court proceedings, but when it came to defending the city, he couldn't get around him. The concept that the Han people are good at keeping things is deeply ingrained in the minds of everyone in the world.

"Back to the Queen Mother, Fang Cai Weichen has already seen the arsenal in the city, there are countless crossbows and arrows, and there are many divine arms and bows. Holding the bow of the god arm to defend the city, even if it is a seed, it is difficult to have a place to use. It is best to move the whirlwind cannon of the Pop Xi Army to the city wall, condescending, not much worse than the Divine Arm Bow. ”

Liang was quite satisfied with Li Qing's answer, "If you are made the main general, how many troops do you need to defend the city?" ”

Li Qing's heart jumped suddenly, and he forced himself to compose, "At least 50,000, you have to take turns to guard." ”

Empress Dowager Liang did not make a decision immediately, but groaned, and an attendant appeared outside the door of the lobby, "Empress Dowager, the Black Mountain Weifu Military Division is urgent." ”

"What's going to happen there?" The emergency military situation from the northernmost part of Western Xia suddenly made the Liang family have a bad premonition, "Present it!" ”

When he folded it over and unfolded it, Liang was dizzy, and the whole person was shaky.

"Queen Mother!" Liang Yiburi, Ren Duo Lingding and Ye Xiaoma screamed together.

"There's nothing wrong with the old body." Liang Shiqiang sat down and steadied himself, and his hand was tightly clenched and anxiously reported: "Yanzhou City doesn't need to be guarded." Go and send someone to tell the seed that Yanzhou City can be given to him! ”

"What?!"

……………………

The Yan army left the Wuding River valley and advanced rapidly towards Yanzhou City.

Before the close formation of the Song army's foot soldiers, the party cavalry could only be harassed. However, under the full control of the cavalry of the Song army, many times, after harassment, they did not have time to leave the battlefield in time, and were caught up by the infantry and then eliminated. The excellent coordination between the infantry and the riders made the Iron Harrier useless.

Both the planting and the division have made a lot of contributions in this process, but the brothers in the cultivation and construction are not complacent about it.

Leading the horse, galloping with the army on the desolate land, the planter's expression was gloomy: "It's still a step too late." ”

"There was too much time to delay." Chong Jianzhong sighed and cheered up again, "Yanzhou must be recovered!" Otherwise, in front of Hedong, there will be no place for our Yanyan Road. ”

The seed master was very unconvinced: "Hedong can win, that is to bully the divination people are solid eyes, little knowledge, change to Khitan or party items, see if they will be fooled!" "Rushing up the infantry formation, I have never heard of such stupid cavalry among the divisions.

"Adapt measures to local conditions and plan for others. Originally, he was bullying the divination people who had never seen the strength of the official army, but he was a party iron harrier, and Han Yukun would not use such a strategy if he wanted to. ”

"It's a pity that such a good war horse." For the stupidity of divination, the breeders all felt pity for their war horses, "They have been called for so long, and they can still be used to run." Compared to Hexi horses, endurance is much better. ”

"What nonsense?!" The seed in front heard the whispers of his nephews and turned around and shouted angrily.

The two brothers of the planting family were suddenly silent.

In his hands was all the troops that Yan Yanlu could bring out, except for the 20,000 people who remained behind. A full 30,000 army, 8,000 cavalry, and 22,000 foot soldiers, half of which came from Qingjian City, Suide City, and Luowu City, the three most prestigious cities. It is not difficult to do it when the seed gives an order, like an arm commanding a finger.

If you want to stop entering Yanzhou City, it is not easy, you must stand in their way, that is, fight the Song people head-on. Whether it is the offensive and defensive battle of the city, or the encirclement and interception in the field, we must have the consciousness of confrontation to the end. Relying on harassment alone will never delay the pace of such a famous general.

In the ten-day siege battle, the physical strength and spirit of the Western Xia army have been consumed a lot, and they have maintained their own rhythm until the Yanzhou City is broken, and the impact that erupts from this is not simply able to resist.

Chong Ge has full confidence in his command and the soldiers under his command, and it is not too difficult to seize Yanzhou when the time is right.

"What's wrong?" There was a sudden commotion ahead, which caused the seed to change color, "What's wrong?" ”

A junior colonel soon returned: "Yanzhou sent someone over. ”

He smiled and said, "What did you send someone to do, surrender?" ”

"The queen mother of the Western Thief said that she is willing to give up Yanzhou City." The Colonel relayed the conditions of the Messenger.

The noise around them was silent, and everyone was doubting their ears. He was stunned for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "...... Leave him alone. Keep moving. ”

"Fifth uncle!" Chong Jianzhong shouted in the back.

"What's the matter?!" Kind of impatient turn.

Chong Jianzhong said in a low voice, "There's no need to turn him away, you can listen to his specific conditions." ”

He ignored it: "Such a big matter, how can I decide it by a mere martial artist?" Send him to the city of Tokyo and let the Son of Heaven and the imperial court decide. ”

"Big deal...... Yes! Chong Jianzhong suddenly shouted, "Fifth uncle, you are ......"

He didn't reply, "If you don't completely occupy Yinxia at this time, what are you waiting for?" Without beheading, there is no merit! ”

"What the hell is going on?" The seed master was confused, his fifth uncle and brother seemed to be playing dumb riddles, and he hadn't figured it out yet.

Chong Jianzhong shook his head, with his intelligence, it didn't take too much time to poke open the window paper, "There is no other possibility." There must be something wrong with Xingqing Mansion. ”

The seed master immediately understood, slapped his head, and asked in surprise: "Rebellion or Liao?!" ”

"Without the support of the Liao, there will never be a rebellion." Chong Jianzhong said, "And from the perspective of the Liao people, directly occupying Xingling will gain more than sedition!" ”

The seed master suddenly changed color: "What a Yelu Yixin!" We have worked hard and paid him all the cheapest! ”

He turned his head angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, before nightfall today, you have to enter the city of Yanzhou!" ”
