Zoro City.

Compared with Lanzhou City, which has been controlled by the Song people for more than 20 years, people and horses are now shuttling back and forth, and the scene of forts and fortresses is lined up. Si Shi Sidi, the city where the Zhuo Luo Prison Military Division of the right wing of the Great White High Country is located, is indescribably cold and desolate.

Located on the banks of the Karo River, the city of Zhuoluo was not a strong city, and it did not occupy a large area. Before the Song Dynasty's military eunuch Li Xian led his troops to capture Lanzhou, although this city was the garrison of the Western Xia Right Wing Supervisor, it was not a frontier stronghold. Lanzhou City, which is on the bank of the Yellow River, is the big stronghold of the Western Xia Gongwei Hexi Corridor. Most of the surrounding Tubo and Qiang tribes also depended on the Western Xia to provide grain, grass, horses, and soldiers.

However, this majestic city, which was dominated by Longpan, was easily captured by the Song army led by Li Xian because of the rebellion of Yuzang Huama, the Western Xia commander of the Tubo tribe who lived in Lanzhou. Later, Li Xian added forts near the left side of Lanzhou, set up Niche Valley Village, Blowing Dragon Village, Guandong Fort, Xiguan Fort, Shengru Fort, Quality Lonely Fort, etc., and added Agan Fort to control the Agan River Valley. In this way, Lanzhou is pillowed by the Yellow River in the north, and there are dangerous castle arches on the east, west and south sides, which has formed an unshakable situation.

In the sixth and seventh years of Yuanfeng, the third year of Yuanyou, the fifth year of Yuanyou, and the first year of Yuanfu, the right wing of the Western Xia, Zhuoluo Supervisor Military Division, organized five counterattacks, all of which were defeated by the Song army.

This Lanzhou Jiancheng is simply a sad place for the right wing army of Western Xia! By now, the officers and soldiers of the Right Wing Army, including Renduo Baozhong, had long lost confidence in recovering Lanzhou, and instead strengthened the defense around Zhuoluo City, and built three additional cities, Gaizhu, Pulong, and Shuibo, to defend Zhuoluo City. And Zhuoluo City itself has also been repeatedly strengthened and strengthened, and now it has a bit of a solid appearance.

But no matter how strong the city is, it can't resist the collapse of people's hearts from within! The defeat of Hengshan and the departure of Empress Dowager Xiaoliang were simply fatal to the hearts of the people in Western Xia. And the hearts of the people who have guarded the Southwest Renduo family of Western Xia for generations are even more shaken.

Because the son of their previous patriarch Ren Duo Wei Ding, the original patriarch heir Ren Duo Chuqing now lives in Lanzhou City, and he also holds the official position of Ganzhou regiment training envoy and right wing Zhuoluo patrol envoy. And from time to time, he sent envoys to Rindo Spring Castle and Karogawa to lure the warriors of the Rinda family to take refuge.

And the news that made the Renduo clan panic even more came from the fine work they sent in Lanzhou City, the Song army was assembling in Lanzhou, and the scale of the assembly was unprecedented! Not only the Qiang tribes of the Qiang people who were close to the Song Dynasty in Lanzhou were ordered to gather and set up a battle, but also a large number of Fan Han troops would come by boat along the Taoshui.

In addition, there were about 10,000 people of the Song State Forbidden Army who rode from the distant Kaifeng Mansion to Lanzhou! Oh, that's encouraging news. At least there is a fish belly army in Lanzhou that can be bullied now......

Outside the north gate of Zhuoluo City, the tall figure of the Zhuoluo Supervisor of the Military Department and the commander of the army in the right wing of the Western Xia, Renduo Baozhong, rode on a horse, and did not move, but the white cloak behind his back was blown by the strong wind in the wild.

Hundreds of soldiers from the Renjia family, neatly draped, lined up, just waiting quietly.

This scene is not to send troops to fight with the Song people, but to wait for the Jin King Wei Mingchage, who is holding the Shang Fang Ling Hammer, to come to inspect the defense.

These generals of the Renjia family are very familiar with Brother Cha, who once served in the Military Department of Zhuoluo in the Right Chamber, and also made a lot of friends. Even Renduo Baozhong has a very good relationship with the younger brother of the emperor of the Great White High Kingdom.

However, Renduo Baozhong still disagrees with the country's lord Qianshun handing over the power of the army to Cha Ge, a young man who is not yet 20 years old.

That's too young, right? Now that the Great White Gaoguo is in turmoil, is it possible to use such a young man to take the lead? If something goes wrong, I'm afraid that the country of Dabai Gaoguo will be ruined.

So the Renduo family, do you want to finish up with the Great White High Kingdom?

Thinking of this, Renduo Baozhong only sighed.

Seeing the patriarch sighing, Renduo Anzhong, the most confidant of Renduo Baozhong, gently led the horse silently and walked to Renduo Baozhong's side.

There was no need to look back, Renduo Baozhong knew that it was his most trusted brother who had come over. He asked in a low voice, "An Zhong, will King Jin send troops to support us, right?" ”

Rindo Anzhong glanced at his brother, after Rindo Saizhong (Baozhong's own brother) died in battle, he was the most loyal and trustworthy. However, even if he is Bao Zhong's henchman, Xi Zhong has to admit that Bao Zhong's ability to fight is really not good!

Since he took over as the military envoy and commander of the military department of Zhuo Luo in the right wing, he seems to be a general who is often defeated...... However, this often defeated general has the determination to fight in the north repeatedly, and he can always quickly stabilize the hearts and positions of the Right Wing Army after a fiasco, and accumulate strength for the next fiasco.

And this time, after confirming that the Song army mobilized a "weak soldier" from Kaifeng Mansion to enter Lanzhou, Renduo Baozhong had the determination to fight the Song army again.

Although Rindo Anzhong didn't know whether this plan was reliable or not - looking at Rinduo Baozhong's achievements in the past few years, most of them were unreliable, he still explained Baozhong and said: "The unification of the army should be supported." Most of the Song people are using troops in the direction of Hehuang this time, if we don't send troops to help, Xi Cheng Luosa will be finished, and as soon as Xi Cheng Luosa is finished, our right wing army will be the next target of the Song people. ”

At the mention of Xi Credit, Rindo Anzhong couldn't help but want to complain about Bao Zhong. In fact, it was with the tacit consent of Bao Zhong that the two of them raised troops to expel Zhao Huaide...... Even after receiving the order of the lord of the country to assist Zhao Huaide to quell the rebellion, Bao Zhong deliberately delayed, resulting in the fact that Xi Rosa seized power.

That Xi Rosa is a hardcore pro-Xia faction, and this is not wrong. But the Great Song Dynasty stopped doing it, and it looked like it was about to conquer the river three times.

And Hehuang Tubo fell apart because of the Xiluo Rebellion, and it was impossible to resist, and the Western Xia side had not yet recovered from the Hengshan fiasco. What could have been a tenable situation has now become a dilemma...... If the Western Xia does not send troops, Qingtang Tubo will definitely fall, and if the Western Xia sends troops, it may not be able to win. Well, considering the tenacity of Nito's loyalty to the north, the possibility of defeat seems to be even greater!

Just as the two brothers of the Renjia family were talking in a low voice, a large white banner with the words "King of Jin, all unified army" written in party documents had already appeared at the mountain pass in front, followed by seven or eight large flags, hunting and rolling, and then a red feather on a jumping iron helmet. In the end, I saw a steady stream of armored warriors, surrounded by the young Jin King Wei Mingchage, and appeared in sight.

"It's an iron harrier!" Rindo Anzhong shouted, full of surprise.

King Chage of Jin brought a large number of Iron Harrier cavalry!

Iron Harrier was a heavy cavalry built in the Yuan Hao period, with only 3,000 personnel in the early years, but it was the core and main force of the Western Xia army. This cavalry was equipped with Qingtang Monkey armor and the finest horses, and the horses were also fully equipped with arrows that were difficult to break, and they were one of the most elite heavy cavalry of this era. Every time it is used to charge into battle, it is a force that can be decisive in the Western Xia army!

Although after Yuan Hao, this heavy cavalry, which selected warriors according to the hereditary model passed down from father to son, gradually weakened, it still had a pivotal position in the Western Xia army.

Once the Iron Harrier cavalry appears in large numbers, it means that there will be a thrilling battle to be fought.

Now that Brother Wei Mingcha has brought at least 1,000 Iron Harriers, it means that he is going to fight a big battle with the Song army on the Western Front. Hmm, at least the message that Brother Wei Mingcha wants to convey is that he is going to fight with the Song army!

There were still dozens of steps away from the Renduo brothers, and Brother Wei Mingcha had already turned over and dismounted cleanly. The Renduo brothers and the generals under their command also hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, shouting loudly: "Welcome King Jin!" ”

Brother Cha laughed at them: "Why are you so polite? Do I have a relationship with you? It's all your own family, you don't have to be like this. ”

Renduo Baozhong also waved his hand boldly, turned back to his own armor and said loudly: "Straight lady thief, what are you waiting for?" Hurry up and pick up the whole pig, the whole sheep, the good wine and the tea, and serve the iron harrier brought by the king! ”

A few of his men agreed with a bang, turned around and ran towards the city.

Brother Cha said with a smile: "When the unified army mentioned good wine, a certain family brought a few jars of wine in the immortals, which is the world's first-class spirits, clear as water, strong as fire, and you will get drunk after drinking a few taels." ”

"How many taels will you get drunk?"

"yes!" Brother Cha smiled: "Everyone is here to try it, and they will definitely not get drunk today!" ”

"Okay, good," Rindo Baozhong smiled, "Although a certain family is in the remote mountain town of Zhuoluo City, they have also heard of the name of the wine fairy, and they just want to taste it today." After drinking the immortals, a certain family led the right chamber to meet the forbidden army of the Song State from Kaifeng Mansion for a while. ”

When he mentioned the Kaifeng Forbidden Army, he didn't take it seriously, as if it was just a piece of cake.

However, Brother Wei Mingcha's face became solemn, and he whispered to Bao Zhong: "Don't look at the forbidden army of Kaifeng Mansion with the old eyes of decades ago!" ”

"How?" Renduo was stunned.

Brother Cha said: "The current official family of the Song Kingdom is not simple, with the demeanor of Tang Taizong, and the forbidden army of Kaifeng Mansion has been trained by him, and it is no longer comparable to the past." ”

What the? The official family of the Great Song Dynasty is like Tang Taizong? Renduo Baozhong was stunned and stunned.

Is this true or false? Now that the Great White Gaoguo is like this, there is no need for Tang Taizong, and Song Taizong can't stand it! Could it be that the Great White High Kingdom is really going to die......

"Commander of the army," Cha Ge said, "You don't have to worry, this king has brought 1,000 iron harriers this time, which is enough to fight with the elite from Kaifeng Mansion."

Moreover, the Great Liao Kingdom has promised to marry the princess to His Majesty, and with the help of the Great Liao, our Great White High Kingdom will definitely be able to turn the crisis into safety. ”

How can this sound so deflating? Renduo Baozhong couldn't help frowning, it seems that His Royal Highness the King of Jin is still too young, and his courage is a little small!
