"Report! Grand Governor, Norbu's 20,000-strong army went in the direction of Dongshengwei in the southwest."

"What?" Ma Yongzhen couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the report of the detective outside the big tent, and hurriedly said, "Investigate again, no matter what, you can't lose Norbu's whereabouts." ”

"Whoa!"

The detective turned around and rushed out of the tent, and Ma Yongzhen suddenly fell into deep thought. What was Norb's intentions?

He left 5,000 soldiers and horses in the Naturalization City and another 5,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, and he did not seem to have any intention of giving up the Naturalization City. So does he think that the 10,000 soldiers and horses left behind can stop the attack of his 40,000 army?

To tell the truth, if Norbu used cavalry maneuvering to fight, it would be really difficult to win him for a while.

But if it is a city defense war, with the rockets and other weapons that the Qin army is now equipped with, it is not necessarily difficult to capture a city.

Norbu withdrew the main force from the city of Naturalization, apparently understanding that it would be against him to fight a battle for the defense of the city.

Then this is a contradiction, since he knows that it is not good to fight the city defense war, and he does not withdraw all the troops, does he plan to leave a few thousand men and horses to comfort himself?

Ma Yongzhen excluded the same, and finally felt that Norbu left 10,000 soldiers and horses inside and outside the naturalization city, and it was unlikely that he would run to the Hetao by himself. He decided to take a gamble that Norbu wasn't really going to the Loop.

However, if Norbu really enters the Hetao, the consequences will be very severe, and now there are already 20,000 or 30,000 horses in the Hetao, plus 20,000 in Norbu, whether Su Jin can stop it is a big question mark;

Now in the entire Guanzhong, the troops are very empty. Once Su Jin can't stop these tens of thousands of Mongol troops, Western Kyoto may fall.

Such consequences are something that Ma Yongzhen cannot afford.

For the sake of security. Ma Yongzhen then sent Guo Yunlong over and retreated. Only then did he whisper to him: "General Guo, this governor ordered you to lead an army of 10,000 people, with Norbu, and you must not be greedy for merit, if Norbu really wants to cross the river and enter the loop, you will do your best to stop it." If it's just a matter of attacking the west, this is an opportunity to weaken the various tribes of Monan, and it's best to force him to the side of Mondudu, do you understand? ”

Guo Yunlong still doesn't understand what he means. There was no need to be confused, he hurriedly clenched his fists and replied: "Don't worry, the last general knows what to do." ”

"Okay, you can go now."

"Whoa!"

After sending Guo Yunlong's 10,000 troops, Ma Yongzhen immediately ordered the camp to be raised, and the 30,000 troops quickly advanced to Guihua City in order to break the city as much as possible.

***

Also trying to break the city is Lintao's Risong, who has already played a real fire, 17,000 soldiers and horses. desperately attacked Didao City, but as a result, nearly 3,000 casualties were lost, and the crumbling Didao City was able to hold on again and again.

Even the deputy general Su He personally led the army to attack the city, but he was repulsed again and again.

Gushi Khan under the city of Lanzhou is also on fire. sent an order, if you can't take Di Dao City within five days, behead!

On the top of the city. Wu Qingfeng licked his chapped lips and looked at the enemy troops outside the city who were preparing to attack again. The battle array like a cloud stretched for ten miles. Knives and guns are like a forest.

The deputy general Song Baitao has died heroically, and Li Bocun, the same governor of Lintao Mansion, was seriously injured. The soldiers and civilians in the city, together with the wounded, have lost nearly 5,000, and all the gunpowder, shells, and earth-shaking thunder have been used up.

Wu Qingfeng could only comfort again and again, it's coming, it's coming!

The rest of the city, both soldiers and civilians, were almost all wounded, and one by one they sat under the battlements, and their morale was getting lower and lower.

Wu Qingfeng himself didn't know how long Di Dao City could hold on, and whether he could survive the next wave of the enemy's attack. But seeing that the young men in the city were desperately helping to defend the city, he couldn't bear to abandon the city and flee anyway.

"General, the enemy is attacking again." Wu Changting has said this countless times, perhaps he has become numb to the enemy's attack.

"Everyone, get ready to fight!" Wu Qingfeng shouted.

The soldiers and civilians at the head of the city looked at the enemy army outside the city, some heavy, some hateful, and some resolute.

Everyone actually knows in their hearts that if it goes on like this, Di Dao City will not be able to hold on for long, but the city is their parents, their wives and children, and they must defend it if they can't keep it.

Gritting your teeth, every extra moment of support gives you a little more chance of survival.

Under the shouts of Wu Qingfeng and the generals of the Qin army at all levels, all the soldiers of the Qin army and the young men who participated in the defense of the city stood up, clenched their swords and guns, and looked at the enemy troops outside the city in silence.

Just when the enemy army outside the city had completed the whole team and was about to launch an attack, there was a sudden great movement in the city, and I saw the old and weak women and children in the city, that is, three-foot boys, sixty-year-old men, all holding rudimentary weapons, some carrying iron pots, some holding kitchen knives, some carrying hoes, and some picking up bricks, and they all rushed to the edge of the city.

When Wu Qingfeng saw this scene, his heart, which had not had the slightest wave, suddenly burst into waves, he hurriedly walked to the female wall and shouted to the city: "Folks, what are you doing here? ”

An old man replied loudly: "General Wu, we can't sit still, let's help defend the city." ”

Wu Qingfeng was anxious: "Folks, we are responsible for defending the city, and I, Wu Qingfeng, promise everyone that unless the enemy steps on my Wu Qingfeng's corpse, I don't want to step into Di Dao City!" Folks, the enemy is about to launch a new round of attacks, everyone hurry back to the city, so as not to be accidentally injured"

At this time, a woman in her thirties,, still had charm, but when she walked out with a sword in her hand, she said to Wu Qingfeng: "General Wu, you don't have to say it, the soldiers have been fighting for a long time and have made great sacrifices. Besides, if the enemy breaks through the city, where can everyone hide? When this city is in danger, what kind of military and civilian are there, everyone should work together to overcome the difficulties. ”

Wu Qingfeng saw that this was not who Lintao Tongzhi Li Bocun's wife was, he hurriedly looked back at the outside of the city, and hurriedly said: "Mrs. Li, Li Tongzhi is loyal and patriotic, seriously injured and bedridden, and needs to be taken care of by Mrs. Li."

As soon as Wu Qingfeng said this, the horn outside the city became more and more urgent, and his own soldier Wu Changting shouted urgently: "General, the enemy has begun to attack!" ”

Wu Qingfeng can't take care of a lot, Mrs. Li under the city, at this time commanding a group of old and weak women and children, is busy but not chaotic, orderly, according to legend, her maiden surname is Lin, and her father was an official in the early years of Chongzhen.

Probably inherited her father's aftermath, she had already divided the people into groups, who was responsible for carrying the arrows, who was responsible for carrying the stretcher, and who went to the city to help defend the city, all of them were determined and acted quickly.

At this time, a new round of enemy attacks began, and black clouds overwhelmed the city, shouting and shouting, wave after wave slapping the city.

First of all, the black pressed arrows, roaring upwards and raining down on the city, and the soldiers and civilians in the city either hid under the battlements, or carried shields, iron pots, and planks. Greet the enemy's rain of arrows.

That Risong personally went to the city to supervise the battle this time, and organized his own soldiers as a supervising team, and those who retreated were immediately beheaded.

More than 10,000 enemies launched a fierce attack from the three city walls, and one by one the ladders were quickly erected on the head of the city, and one by one the enemies stared at the bloodthirsty eyes, showed their white teeth, gritted their broadswords, and used their hands and feet together, desperately climbing up the ladders.

The bricks and stones at the head of the city fell down one after another, smashing the enemies on the ladder to the point of breaking their heads and bleeding, and falling to the city with a puff and a puff, shouting, screaming, bowing and crossbowing, and falling rocks, intertwined like a tide for a while, and the sound of the river.

Mrs. Li had a sword in her hand, reprimanded and slashed several enemies in a row, but it was the women who did not let the eyebrows, and the soldiers and civilians at the head of the city saw it, and they all applauded loudly, and their morale soared.

However, the enemy's offensive was more fierce, one by one the Mongolian men were as strong as oxen, as if they could not finish killing, one fell down, and the other turned up the city, the young men at the head of the city fought with knives, and the women and children smashed them with bricks, desperately not retreating.

An old woman of fifty had her arm cut off by the enemy, and she used her remaining arm to cling to the enemy's leg and tear it with her teeth.

A child of twelve or thirteen years old stabbed the enemy in the back with a sharp bamboo spear, the wounded enemy turned around and swung the knife, and another woman pounced on the knife to block the knife, and the blood splashed the child's face

Wu Qingfeng and the others roared like wild beasts, slashing and killing desperately, their bodies stained with the blood of their enemies and themselves, like bloody people.

Just when the battle situation entered the white heat, in the south of Di Dao City, there was a sudden sound like thunder, standing at the head of the city and looking at it from afar, it can be seen that black flags appeared on the slope ridge of six or seven miles.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

"Great Qin's reinforcements are here!"

"It's coming, reinforcements are finally here!"

“”

The soldiers and civilians at the head of the city, while resisting, couldn't help crying loudly, just like a child who had been wronged countless times when he saw his relatives.

This scene is shocking, everyone who has died in nine lives, blood and tears are full of faces, their hearts are surging, and bursts of chanting converge into a wave, resounding and curbing the clouds.

The besieging enemy was terrified, and the whining horns sounded from the bottom of the city, and the surging enemy army immediately retreated like a tide.

The soldiers and civilians at the head of the city took the opportunity to beat the water dogs, and bursts of stones and bricks were desperately smashed into the city, and for a while the stones fell like rain, and the enemy hugged their heads and scurried, and the unfortunate ones were smashed to the ground.

Looking at the retreating enemy, and then looking back at the yellow dust rolling in the south, as strong as Wu Qingfeng, he couldn't help but feel a slight wetness in the corners of his eyes.

The day under the city was hurriedly collected by Song, and at the same time sent troops and horses to the south to meet him, he had already received a report that there were not many Qin troops coming to help, only three thousand at most, if he could repel the reinforcements in one fell swoop, there was still a chance to break the city.

This time, it was the 3,000 cavalry of Gao Yi's power leader who came to support Lintao Mansion this time, and they traveled day and night. Ten miles away from the city, fierce shouts and killings were already heard.

Gao Yigong did not hesitate, and led three thousand iron horsemen to kill the city all the time, hunting with banners, and the yellow dust was rolling.

On that day, the five thousand cavalry of Song had just arrived two or three miles south of the city, and the two sides collided violently, and a bloody battle began
