Three days later, Wang Guangyu received the news from the front, hurriedly rode a horse, took a group of guards, left the army, and headed for Maoniu City.

In fact, Wang Ju's policies towards various regions are still different, which are divided into three parts, one part is the Western Xia, one part is the Hexi Corridor of the Western Xia, and the other part is the Huangzhou Tubo.

Xixia doesn't care, anyway, after so many years, you kill me, I kill you, Liangzi has long been married, and it is necessary to appease in the future, but it is mainly biased towards deterrence, and the means are mainly tough. But no matter what the Song army did, it was also the Tangut people who asked for it.

The Hexi Corridor depends on the dynamics of the various departments, with Wang Wenyu easily taking Liangzhou, although he did not occupy Liangzhou, I believe that the Hexi Corridor will also be sober, if they will send envoys to contact secretly, then try to appease, if on the contrary, treat the Tangut people in other regions the same, don't underestimate the brainwashing effect of the Xixia, after all, the Xixia has occupied this area for many years, and the older generation has basically passed away, and the people who are alive now have much identification with the Song Dynasty, Wang Ju also doubts it.

Of course, this part of the people will not be as hostile to the Song Dynasty as Lingxia is to the Song Dynasty.

There are also Huangzhou Tubo, and there are not many beams in everyone's knots.

If it weren't for Ali Gu joining forces with Western Xia, Wang Ju wouldn't even find a reason to use troops against Huangzhou.

Therefore, this part is mainly to pacify, supplemented by deterrence, but it is also necessary to deter, so Wang Ju used violent means in Qingdan Valley, but this killing is to not kill.

There was less resistance, everyone didn't fight to the death, and the hatred was reduced. As for the Liangzi formed by the Qingdan Valley Department, Wang Ju forcibly took the rest of the people. Women, children, and children were scattered together to the various departments. Since then, the Qingdan Valley has disappeared. The beam that came.

That is, Qingdan Valley has become this chicken, but you can't really attack all the monkeys, so the hatred is getting deeper and deeper, and it will not be easy to govern in the future.

However, Wang Guangyu came to Maoniu City, and he was speechless for most of the day after looking at it.

Yao Xiong and Miao Lu rushed to Maoniucheng with 15,000 rapid marches, and the reason why they chose the two of them was also Wang Ju's deliberate arrangement in advance. The two can fight, and the two of them have quelled the rebellion in the south, and they have accumulated some experience in dealing with the Tibetan barbarians.

But Wang Ju could only give this approximate order more than a month ago, and Wang Ju couldn't estimate the specific play and details.

The two of them took a day and a half to come to Maoniucheng with their military horses, which was faster than Wang Wenyu's estimate, but Liang Yiwei had already warned Ali Gu in Feishu, and at this time the main army had fallen into Pingxi Fort. Well, Ali Gu is a little bit of a soldier now? Actually, it's really good. If it weren't for Liang Yikui who sent 50,000 Xia troops to support, Ali Gu might not have been able to gather 30,000 soldiers and horses. It was these 50,000 Xia troops who arrived. Ali Gu's momentum was slightly invigorated, and nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses were gathered, but a part of the troops had to be divided into the Thirsty Donkey Ridge, as well as important places such as Shengduo Valley and Xilan Sect Fort.

In fact, this is also the limit of Ali Gu's strength, although it has not reached the point where everyone is a soldier, and like Western Xia, it is also close to sixty percent of Ding Zhuang has entered the battlefield one after another.

In desperation, he sent scouts to investigate, and a few days later, the scouts came to report that the Song army was storming the ancient dragon bone city.

The ancient dragon bone city Ali Gu knew, but he didn't have a fluke mentality, what if it didn't take long for the Song army to take this Xiongguan?

So Ali Gu ordered to requisition each Ding Zhuang from the rear one after another, stationed in Maoniu City, and the terrain of Maoniu City is also sinister, Li Yuanhao's time, let the general Sunuer lead 25,000 soldiers and horses to attack Maoniucheng, as a result, the Xia army was defeated in this city, and Sunuer was captured alive. Then Li Yuanhao came to attack with an army of 100,000, after more than a month of hard fighting, still did not conquer Maoniu City, so Li Yuanhao pretended to send an envoy into the city to negotiate peace with Tubo, and secretly selected a death squad to follow the messenger into the city, when he arrived at the city gate, the death squad suddenly attacked, so that the city gate could not be closed in time, Li Yuanhao immediately waved his army into the city, and then ordered the slaughter of the city.

More than fifty years have passed, and Cat Cow City has long since recovered.

Therefore, as long as there are soldiers entering, do not seek to defeat this Song army, at least they can hold Maoniu City.

Therefore, Yao Miao and the others were faster than Ali Gu expected, but nearly 2,000 Tubo soldiers had already settled in the city, and under Du Luojie's arrangement, they were already ready to defend. In fact, it was fortunate that the two of them came quickly, otherwise a few days later, there would be more Tubo soldiers stationed in the station, and more than 2,000 reinforcements were on the way. And by that time, the city's defenses were almost ready.

Yao Xiong and Miao Lu knew it in their hearts, and when they came to the city, they immediately launched a violent attack.

There was no siege ladder, so he had to send people outside the city to use the range of the Divine Arm Bow to release arrows for cover, and at the same time forcibly sent his subordinates to hold shields, brave the rain of arrows and stones on the city, throw the grappling hook on the city, and climb to the city.

But this brutal siege will undoubtedly bring many sacrifices.

After three and a half days of bloody fighting, and at the same time constantly crushing the troops and horses from all walks of life who came to help, finally the defenders of the city became fewer and fewer, and finally attacked the city.

However, in the past three and a half days, only half of the 15,000 light cavalry could move around, and half of them were still wounded, and even Miao Lu, the chief general of the three armies, was hit by two arrows and was stabbed and lying on the hospital bed.

It can be said that since Wang Ju entered Hehuang, several battles have not been as heavy as this one.

Wang Wenyu was both happy and regretful in his heart, fortunately that General Yao Miao's troops entered quickly, otherwise it would be delayed, and when all the 5,000 soldiers entered Maoniucheng, even if the whole army of 15,000 officers and soldiers died, they might not be able to take Maoniucheng.

What is regretted is that these casualties of the Song army, it can be said that all of them are the most elite soldiers of the Song army, all of them are warriors with one as ten, but more than half of them are folded under this city.

But it was also a helpless move, when Wang Ju and several other main generals convened to discuss, in the face of this catbull city, Wang Ju also hesitated for a long time. Western Xia and Tubo were not good at attacking cities, and the Song army did not want to attack cities, so in the past two years, the Song army has also been trying to find ways to bypass these fortifications.

For example, when he attacked Yinzhou last year, he first transferred the troops in this area, and then Zhang Shouyue cut off the way back, although Yinzhou is also a heroic city. But the number of troops is small. No matter how powerful the city. The soldiers had to hold on, just like in Lingzhou last year, there were only a few hundred soldiers guarding it, no matter how tall and strong Lingzhou City was, it couldn't hold it, so it was quickly taken by the Song army.

But this year was much different, and the Song Dynasty, which attacked Yinzhou, had more troops and was better prepared. The Song army of the two routes took Yinzhou, and the number of casualties was much higher than last year.

The same example is Ba Jin Fort, in fact, Wang Ju also has a way to conquer it from the front, but in order to reduce the sacrifice, it was deliberately dragged until the Ali Gu soldiers attacked Wen Xixin, and the Song army attacked the thirsty Donkey Ridge and launched an attack on Ba Jin City from the back.

However, no matter how Wang Ju thinks, he still can't get around this cat-cow city, so he had to hastily give an order and let Wang Wenyu, Lin Guang and Yao Miao play their own role.

Miao Lu was furious. We also have to learn from Li Yuanhao and slaughter the city. Yao Xiong heard these two words, although he was also holding back his anger in his heart, and when the city was attacked, many people in Maoniu City spontaneously went to the city to participate in the battle, but these two words were too terrible, although he tacitly ignored Miao Lu's order, arrested all the people in the city, and even used the army to detain all the people in more than a dozen villages outside the city, and then took them to the city to be imprisoned, ready to slaughter them, but Yao Xiong immediately reported to Wang Wenyu.

Wang Wenyu was shocked when he heard it, this is the slaughter of the city, and Wang Ju's practice in Qingdan Valley is of two natures, Wang Ju killed Ding Zhuang, well, in Tubo Ding Zhuang is a warrior, these soldiers want to resist the Song army, the Song army will kill them, it will not cause much protest, but it is only to kill Ding Zhuang, not to kill everyone.

However, in the face of this kind of casualties, Wang Wenyu also hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Let's kill the people who participated in the war together, and the rest of the women, children, old and young, will be temporarily detained, and will be sent to Hezhou to be dispersed in the future, Miao Xu, I know that you are resentful in your heart, but you can't destroy the plan of the Taibao, let alone the plan of the imperial court." ”

Wang Wenyu finally appeased Miao Lu, and then the army slowly arrived, Wang Wenyu left Li Xian to garrison Maoniucheng, and then took the three armies to Qingtang City.

Qingtang City is closer to Maoniu City than Zongge City, but Qingtang City is in the south of Huangshui, with a Huangshui in the middle, and the road is more precipitous, but the reason why Wang Wenyu chose Qingtang City is that now Ali Gu will gather most of the soldiers on the front line of Pingxi Fort, and most of the troops in the rear are empty. Moreover, it is less than a hundred miles from Maoniu City to Qingtang City, no matter how steep the mountain road is, within two days, the army can also reach Qingtang City. However, Ali Gu transferred his troops back from Pingxi Fort, and he could reach Zongge City within two days, but he couldn't reach Qingtang City.

Qingtang City has been won, what is Ali Gu still doing in Pingxi Fort? The tide of battle was turned around.

The Song army moved south at a very fast pace......

…………

"Han Qing, what's the report on the front line today?" Zhao asked.

The front line began to reverse, but the rear has not received news for the time being, and everyone is worried. In particular, Wang Ju in order to avoid suspicion......

The imperial court conferred on him the post of Shaanxi Sixth Route pacification envoy, but in addition to this position, he was also granted the right to control the military, political and financial affairs of the Shaanxi Sixth Road. In fact, it is equivalent to temporarily handing over the entire Shaanxi Sixth Road to Wang Ju.

But otherwise, how could Wang Ju solve the two countries of Tubo and Western Xia in two or three years?

Why did he do so many things before, also for the power in his hands now!

Not only that, but in fact, the army on the other side of Hedong Road also obeyed Wang Ju's mobilization, and all the policies and financial resources of the country were also tilted to the northwest.

It is necessary to avoid suspicion, but there is an advantage, Wang Ju has carefully planned before every battle.

Just as others came to the northwest last year, a plan for the use of troops in the northwest has been drawn up, and the gap in Donghuangzhou has been opened by using Wenxixin. And just in case, if Wen Xixin was persuaded by Ali Gu to fall to Ali Gu, and did a fake show with Ali Gu, tens of thousands of Song troops would jump into the sea.

Therefore, the Zhuo Luo Military Division who attacked the Western Xia first, captured Gaizhu City, and resolved the threat of the rear of Huangzhou, so that there was no need to worry about entering the rear, and if it was wrong, it could also be returned in time. In that case, Wang Ju will come up with a second plan, or attack Kuozhou first. But this plan is not as beneficial as the first one, and of course, this is also for fear of accidents. The result basically developed in the direction that Wang Ju envisioned, but the big deal was that Wang Ju didn't expect that the three clans around Gumiaochuan were all co-opted by Ali Gu.

The Longshu clan sent troops to help Aligu, which was expected by Wang Ju, and they were sandwiched between Huangzhong and Zongge City. Do not take refuge in Ali bones. That's the rhythm of wanting to die.

But Wang Ju didn't expect that the spoon family and the Yan clan also fell to Ali Gu. I didn't expect the Wen clan to fall so badly, when it was in the hands of Wen Xixin's parents, Wen Nezhi Cheng Cheng, he was still in charge of twenty-eight major clans, with 64,000 male soldiers (that is, 64,000 Ding Zhuang), so he didn't give Ali a bone blow in the battle of Thirsty Donkey Ridge.

However, the overall goal was achieved, and the power of the various ministries in Huangzhou, especially the Wen family, was further weakened.

After taking East Huangzhou. Wang Ju stopped using troops, and then, according to the news from all sides, formulated a strategy to take Kuozhou first.

From Thirsty Donkey Ridge to Zongge City, or west to Qingtang City, this section of the road is too treacherous, and there are many places where the harsh terrain is unclear.

When the Song army went west, the sacrifice would be very heavy, and the war would always have to kill people, but there was still Western Xia behind. After the Western Xia, there may still be the Liao State. You can't sacrifice too many soldiers because of the Tibetan take, and the financial resources are not allowed.

And once Ali Gu defended in danger and formed a stalemate, the momentum slowly rose, and the number of troops that fell to him will gradually increase, and even the Kuozhou side will fall to Ali Gu, and this battle will not be easy to fight.

However, at the end of last year, when Wang Hui returned to the capital to report on his work, the current approximate battle plan had basically been conceived.

The battle plan is a battle plan, but they are all changing, especially in this battle, from Yinzhou to Huangzhou, the entire northwest has become a large battlefield, so this battle plan is constantly changing, such as before the army enters Kuozhou, what if Ali Gu supports Kuozhou? That's a different way of playing.

But Ali is extremely embarrassed, and there are no soldiers available, so will he support? But Ali Gu is still entrenched in Qingtang City Zongge City, and it is still not very easy to fight. It wasn't until the eve of Wang Ju's dispatch that he had an accurate battle plan.

In order to avoid suspicion, Wang Ju also reported to the court in the form of a secret report. Although I am in charge of all the officers and soldiers of the Shaanxi Sixth Road, every military operation is reported to the imperial court in advance, so that the distribution of troops on the Shaanxi Sixth Road and the actions of the army are basically well understood, which also reduces the suspicion of some people.

But in order to keep it secret, only Zhao Ji and several prime ministers knew, and Zhao Ji strictly ordered that it should not be leaked to anyone, including his father and son and his wife.

This plan is actually a fish erbium tactic, using Pingxi Fort as erbium, but in order to increase the weight of this erbium, Wang Ju also went to Pingxi Fort.

And after so many days, everyone is worried.

Not only worried about Wang Ju, but also worried about the front line.

Wang Ju said that it was a fish erbium tactic, but this fish erbium really let Ali Gu and Renduo keep loyal bites, and Wang Ju I's reputation was ruined, and the entire war against Tibet was officially declared a failure!

Of course, if it succeeds, it will take Ali Gu at a small price, and he will also take Renduo to protect these tens of thousands of summer soldiers.

Han Zhen replied: "Your Majesty, the strength of the Jishi Army has approached Tongjin Fort, if there is no accident, it is estimated that it will soon reach Danan City, and Chongyi will also take part of the troops to force Linsong Fort, and these two soldiers and horses can basically arrive at Pingxi Fort within three days." ”

"I'm asking about Wang Wenyu's army!" Zhao Ji interrupted Han Jin's words, these two armies have already been arranged, in fact, they can still reach Pingxi Fort at a faster speed, the reason why they did not arrive is to deliberately give Wang Wenyu time, otherwise tens of thousands of Song troops will arrive one after another, Ali Gu will not be able to take Pingxi Fort, and Wang Wenyu's Song army in the rear will attack again, Ali Gu will inevitably only withdraw his troops, once Ali Gu withdraws his troops, how can Wang Wenyu take Maoniu City! The most crucial step of the arrangement is completely wasted.

Regarding this article, Wang Ju had already written in the recital more than a month ago, so why say it again!

Even Yinzhou's side is not too important for the time being, the important thing is Wang Wenyu's Song army, as well as Maoniucheng.

"Your Majesty, Wang Wenyu has sent Yao Xiong and Miao Lu to attack Maoniu City, but there is no news yet."

While the monarch was talking, the small yellow door outside hurriedly came in and said, "The privy has sent good news, our army has taken Maoniu City." ”

"The good news is on," Zhao said happily.

Wang Judu wrote so clearly in the newspaper that Zhao Ji no longer understands military affairs, and he also knows the significance of taking Maoniucheng.

The report was written by Yao Xiong, a military general, almost in the vernacular (and look at Wang Hou's report: the minister is close to the brother Duanshu, and he is close to Huangzhou to recruit him, saying that the leader of Zongge City will send his brother Jieju to return to Shun, wait for the army to arrive, open the city gate to welcome the surrender, and beg for the white flag. The monks of Kuozhou also wanted to wait for the army to offer wine...... It's almost the same as the vernacular, it's still processed), Wang Wenyu in order to get the news as soon as possible for the imperial court. Didn't let the staff process either. He was sent directly to the capital by fast riding.

Zhao Ji quickly finished reading the report. said: "Wang Qing is worry-free." ”

Maoniu City was lost, the entire rear of Ali Gu opened the gate, Wang Wenyu could stab as much as he wanted, and Ali Gu would inevitably have to return to the army. In fact, even if the troops are withdrawn and returned, they will quickly usher in the fate of destruction. At least Wang Ju can be safe.

But Zhao Ji was wrong.

Ali Gu had already received the news of the loss of Maoniu City, and he was surprised for a long time, and said, "So fast? ”

But at this time, Wang Guangzu and Guo Jingxiu also began to divide their troops, and Wang Guangzu personally led 10,000 soldiers and horses along the cheese north. It faces the Tibetan army of Shengduo Valley across the river. The main army of the party in southern Jiangsu was dragged by Guo Jingxiu to the thirsty donkey ridge.

Ali Gu had no choice, and he had to hide from Renduo to protect his loyalty, so in the name of transporting grain and grass, he divided 5,000 soldiers and horses to retreat to the rear, but at this time Ali Gu had a fatal judgment error, he thought that Wang Wenyu would use the army to Brother City.

In fact, in the original plan, Wang Ju asked Wang Wenyu to send troops to Zongge City, but Wang Ju also added that if the troops behind Ali Gu were indeed empty, they could also use troops in Tang City. So Wang Wenyu chose Qingtang City...... Wait until Ali Gu receives the direction of Wang Wenyu's military horse. The troops he had transferred to the rear had already crossed the Huangshui, and there was still a time difference of more than a day to his death. That is, when Ali Gu asked the three armies to turn, the Song army had already arrived at Qingtang City, and maybe they had already taken Qingtang City.

Seeing the five thousand soldiers and horses go away, Ali Gu suddenly made a crazy move, ordering the remaining three armies to strengthen the siege of the city, and those who fear the enemy will be killed!

In fact, it is said to Renduo Baozhong, in fact, Ali Gu really misunderstood Renduo Baozhong, according to Liang Yikui's order, this battle Renduo Baozhong with the three armies and horses is mainly to take advantage of the cheap, and the battle is supplemented, but Renduo Baozhong wants to avenge his father, and from the beginning, he secretly took the initiative to cooperate with Ali Gu.

Of course, in the end, after so long of delay, Pingxi Fort was not taken, and news came from afar that Xibawen had been captured alive by Song Junsheng, and it was impossible to cooperate at this time.

But the 50,000 soldiers brought by Guan Jianren and Baozhong performed very poorly.

But Ali Gu's move is not crazy, if Pingxi Fort is conquered in these few days, it will be too late.

But as long as he withdraws his troops from the rear, he doesn't need to withdraw from the rear, as long as the army knows the news of the loss of Maoniu City, Renduo Baozhong will inevitably flee immediately with the Xia army, and most of his subordinates are also scattered, and even his own son is scattered, what fate awaits him?

Therefore, the Maoniu City was lost in front, and the offensive and defensive battles of Pingxi Fort became more tragic in the back.

…………

When he was a teenager, Wang Ju once hunted with his second uncle, and then learned boxing with his second eldest son, which was for fitness. However, because of his youth, Wang Ju could barely be regarded as a qualified head on the battlefield of Dashun City, which means that his martial arts can be similar to ordinary heads.

But after the Battle of Gyeongju, he gradually became more and more powerful, and it was impossible for him to charge into battle in person.

Therefore, the archery skills are getting worse and worse, and it is clear that the enemies under the city are dense, so he shot seven arrows in a row before he hit one enemy.

Wang Ju put down his bow and arrows in some shame and gasped behind the battlement wall, but the surrounding Song soldiers cheered together.

The tragic offensive and defensive battle of Pingxi Fort lasted for thirty-three days, and although this move was risky, Wang Ju was not without a little preparation.

First of all, the area of this fort cannot be too small, after all, it is settling thousands of soldiers and horses, and it is necessary to guard this mountain pass, but it cannot be too large.

In fact, the big city and the village have the advantages of the big city and the big village, and they also have their disadvantages, and the small castle and small village have their disadvantages, but they also have their advantages. The big city can be stationed with more troops and more materials, and it is very difficult for the enemy to besiege it in groups, and even in the walled city, it can also play a variety of tactics, but the disadvantage is that it must be stationed with many troops in order to play its role.

There are too many disadvantages of Xiaobao and Xiaozhai, but the advantage is that if it is strong and does not lack food and water, it can hold on to it with a few troops.

Therefore, Wang Jucai built a medium-sized fort, and it was too late to build a large fort in time.

In addition, Wang Ju brought a large number of artillery, forcing the combined forces of the two countries to camp a few miles away, which was equivalent to prolonging the time of each attack of the enemy and reducing the efficiency of the enemy's siege.

A large amount of timber was prepared in the fort to prevent the walls from being knocked down in many places.

As for weapons, food, and medicinal herbs, not to mention anything.

And before the war, Wang Ju summoned the three armies, which illustrated the cruelty of the battle. But one more thing was said. If the victim or the disabled. Willing to entrust his family to the other side, Wang Ju will let the other side arrange a good errand for his family, and at the same time will give a large amount of subsidies, those who are unwilling to go to the other side, in addition to the court to reward the bereavement, will also persuade the other side of the businessmen to make up for their family members with an additional 100 yuan each.

In addition, Wang Ju was on the front line, so the three armies fought bravely and persevered until now.

The biggest drawback, however, is the recent construction of the city walls. Lack of robustness. But this shortcoming was also deliberately revealed by Wang Ju, otherwise Ali Gu would not have entered the world.

But the cruelty of this battle was still beyond Wang Ju's imagination, the front fortress wall was destroyed by one-third of the two allied forces, and now almost half of the battle took place in front of and behind the fence, which undoubtedly made the Song army gradually lose the advantage of the city wall, and the casualties became heavier and heavier.

Another part of the enemy army crossed the rugged mountain path to the south of Pingxi Fort, which further dispersed the Song army's already pitiful forces.

After such a stalemate, five tribes finally defected to Ali Gu and cooperated with Ali Gu to attack Pingxi Fort from the south. But fortunately, none of these five tribes are big tribes. In the words of Chongpu, these five tribes are five fools' eggs. More than ten times the number of troops, so many days can't even take a single Pingxi Fort, the rear army of the Song army killed, can Ali Gu return the enemy?

So far, more than 3,000 officers and soldiers have been sacrificed by six or seven thousand officers and men, and half of the remaining three thousand officers and soldiers have been injured in various ways, including Liu Sunchen, who was also shot by the Tangut people with random arrows, fell on the bed, and could not get up for a while.

So Wang Ju was forced to go to the battlefield with the guards in person, but the dozen or so guards around him also sacrificed a small half.

Wang Ju gasped a few times, moved his arms, and continued to carefully poke his head out and fire arrows at the enemy. Every time he shot an enemy, the Song army let out a loud cheer. Maybe a general found that this side was wrong, and immediately commanded the three armies to kill the city wall on this side, seeing that the enemies under the city were gathering more and more, Wang Ju waved his hand, and everyone understood, and one by one the ignited fierce fire oil jars smashed down. Nearly half of the hundreds of enemy soldiers under the city walls were killed and burned to death.

This tragic situation brought all the enemies who were storming Pingxi Fort to a halt.

Ali Gu saw that it was getting late, so he had to order the three armies to retreat. But when he gave the order, his face was terrifyingly gloomy.

Wang Ju and Chong Pu also arranged people to patrol the city wall, and at the peak, Ali Gu had taken turns to attack the city for several days and nights, so at night, he should not be careless. Wang Ju then walked down the city to visit Liu Sunchen and the wounded.

Liu Sunchen scolded: "Why is Wang Wenyu, this bastard, so slow. ”

"Not so fast," Wang Ju laughed.

Why did Wang Wenyu attack Huizhou first, instead of taking the ancient dragon bone city first, this is also the arrangement after Wang Ju's careful consideration, before the war, he didn't know how many soldiers and horses Liang Yiqi would send, but most of them could only draw conscripts from Liangzhou and Ganzhou. However, Liangzhou and Gaizhu City, Western Xia will also leave some troops, especially Liangzhou. If this part is not swept away, then when Wang Wenyu's troops enter Qilian Mountain, this part of the Xia soldiers will follow and harass endlessly, which will also seriously affect Wang Wenyu's march below. Liangzhou was won, and Wang Wenyu would be quiet when he went south. So this line is not so fast.

As he was talking, Wang Zichuan broke in from outside and said, "Taibao, fireworks, fireworks!" ”

Wang Ju hurriedly ran outside, climbed to a high place, and looked south, a few miles to the south, seven fireworks kept blooming in the night sky.

This is the agreed code, and seven is the meaning of the good news, which means that the cat cow city has been won.

Wang Ju happily walked down from the high place and said to the soldiers: "Everyone, you don't have to stay up for long, Wang Zhizhou has already taken Maoniu City." ”

Thousands of Song troops immediately cheered and thundered, and Ali Gu immediately lost even the rear of the big rear, and attacked a ghost.

The Tubo camp was a little far away from Pingxi Fort, and the cheers of the Song army in Pingxi Fort could not be heard, but Ali Gu also saw the fireworks in the south.

His lieutenant general Jieshiluo said: "Zampu, it seems that the Song Dynasty used this way to inform the Song soldiers in Pingxi Fort City. ”

In fact, Yao Xiong sent the news to Wang Guangzu, and the scouts who reported the news had to go around in a big circle, walking many rugged mountain roads, and then Wang Guangzu sent people to continue to go around a big circle, to the south of Pingxi Fort, and it had been several days earlier.

At this time, Wang Wenyu was no longer in Maoniu City, but crossed the Huangshui River, and had already arrived at Qingtang City, and since noon yesterday, he began to attack Qingtang City.

What's even more fatal is that Ali Gu received another news in the evening that Miao Zhu, Chongyi, Yu Zanghua Ma and Liu Zhongwu were rapidly approaching Kuozhou, and they could reach Pingxi Fort in two or three days at most.

Now unless one, the tribes of Kuozhou cooperate with Ali Gu, block the road, and fight with these Song armies, and Qingtang City will remain unlost, so Ali Gu will continue to win a period of precious time.

But this is impossible, although Qingtang City is large at this time, its troops are empty and cannot hold it for too long. Even because it was a little far away, not far, but the road was too difficult, Ali Gu didn't know that Qingtang City was still in his hands this afternoon.

It is also impossible for the various tribes in Kuozhou, Ali Gu is not a quarrel after all, under the order of a golden arrow, all the clans responded, let these tribes cooperate with him to investigate and control the news, and even secretly support some supplies, but if you want them to block the road and fight the Song army head-on, it is impossible, not to mention the retaliation of the Song army in the back, people will die if they really fight, and many clansmen will die......

Now that Pingxi Fort has learned the news of Maoniu City, the three armies are excited, don't say a few days, I'm afraid that if he is given another ten days, he may not be able to conquer this fort.

There is a more important factor, after fighting for so many days, so many soldiers and horses, you have to eat and drink, although the surrounding areas of Qingtang City have not been threatened by a major threat for so many years, and they are relatively rich, but the tribes have also begun to be unable to bear it, and this supply alone will gradually be unable to consume.

"What do you say you should do?" Ali Gu said dejectedly.

"Zampu, surrender, although that Taibao is ruthless, but in order to appease the tribes, he will still treat Zampu well...... Otherwise, if the fight continues like this, the casualties on both sides will become heavier and heavier, and he may not care about anything at that time. (To be continued.) )
