The fire burned all night, at first the south wind burned to the north, and then suddenly turned into a north wind in the second half of the night, and the fire spread to the direction of Dali City......

It began to rain at dawn, and the fire slowly weakened until it was extinguished. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, a ragged team appeared outside the north gate, Qin Muxue recognized Chu Lianjun who was walking in front with sharp eyes, and hurriedly ordered to lower the drawbridge and open the city gate.

When the team approached, it became clear that their bodies were charred black, most of their clothes were reduced to pieces and hung on their bodies, and many of the soldiers had burnt their heads, their eyebrows burned, and some of them even had their faces burned! Each soldier clenched his weapon in his hand, and under the leadership of the main general Chu Lianjun, he crossed the drawbridge and walked into the north gate like a rainbow.

Dali City immediately erupted in a tsunami-like cheer!

Because this is the 5,000 Yang Mansion army that burned the Western Xia army in Shangguan last night!

The news had already spread, and the three outer floors of the city gate were crowded with onlookers.

The main general, Chu Lianjun, strode towards Yang Yu, the major general of the Yang Mansion, and was silent for a moment, only to hear him raise his voice and say: "Major General Qiyu, the last general led troops to burn the enemy army last night, attacked the enemy's Chinese army tent at night, and annihilated more than 20,000 enemies in total!" At present, the enemy army has retreated more than 100 miles from Shangguan, and it is impossible to attack Dali City in the near future! “

As soon as the words fell, earth-shattering cheers broke out again in Dali City!

Yang Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the army to return to the camp to rest, and pulled Chu Lianjun to the Yang Mansion alone, Princess Xiaobai, Qin Muxue, and Red Blood, all looked like they were listening attentively. The big tent was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling to the ground, and Chu Lianjun looked at each one with strange expressions, not knowing what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourd.

Xiaobai put on a smiling face and poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and said politely: "Brother Chu, tell us how the fire in Shangguan was placed!" “

Everyone else gathered around, looking anxiously expectant.

Chu Lianjun looked tired, his hair was half burned black, exuding a faint scorching smell, he drank a few cups of tea one after another, and then said flatly: "Yesterday, our army first buried black oil and quilts in a densely forested pass in Shangguan, and at dusk the enemy troops began to pass one after another, and after the enemy forward battalion was released with 2,000 people, he quickly lit a fire to cut it off. Together with the fire, Huyan Xiaofeng and I led the ambush soldiers to rush out, and the enemy's forward battalion was caught off guard and annihilated one by one after being surrounded by our army. At this time, Zhao Bing led 500 officers and soldiers, sneaked behind the enemy by night and lit the second fire, those buried fire sources quickly ignited a mountain fire, and the powder barrels buried under the broken ship also exploded one after another, the explosion could not help but increase the fire, and also caused panic among the enemy troops, and many enemies were frightened and rushed directly into the sea of fire...... At that time, the enemy army was fighting the fire with all their might, but they did not expect that the fire behind them suddenly turned into a sea of fire, and countless people were killed and burned to death. At this moment, all our troops went straight behind the enemy by boat, preparing to attack the grain and grass, but they could not find it for a while, so they attacked the enemy's Chinese army tent at night instead. The commander of the enemy army, Tuoba Ying, was frightened, and in a panic, he ordered the whole army to retreat, and our army took advantage of the situation to attack. Although the enemy suffered heavy losses in this battle, I am afraid that it will return again in three days, and the city will need to be fully prepared......"

Before Xiaobai could finish listening, he jumped up with joy and shouted with his hands: "Haha, great! I guessed right, Xiaoyu, Qin Yatou, and Red Blood each gave me a drink! After speaking, he rushed to Huyan Xiaofeng to report the good news.

"Let me come, is it just for the bet to set fire?" Chu Lianjun said angrily, and after speaking, he was taken back to the Qian Mansion by red blood to rest.

Qin Muxue touched Yang Yu's head and praised again and again: "What a plan, trapping a strong enemy in the sea of fire, taking advantage of the night to sneak attack the enemy's Chinese army's big tent, the enemy can't take care of each other in chaos, so you can only retreat." After the disastrous defeat of the enemy's forward battalion, the morale was low, and the enemy commander who had palpitations would not dare to advance easily in the past three days, and last night could be described as a great victory! Brother Chu set up his head to attack, but unfortunately it wasn't me Qin Muxue who fought this battle, eh......"

Yang Yu didn't want to think so much, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said lightly: "At least we have three more precious days, and we can make more preparations." “

Three days later, the fourteenth day of the city.

The four gates of Dali City were closed and waiting, but the Western Xia army did not arrive, according to the scouts, the enemy army advanced to Shangguan and suddenly stagnated, the specific reason is unknown.

On the fifteenth day of entering the city, the enemy army still did not appear......

At noon, a group of people suddenly appeared outside the south city gate, all dressed as ordinary people, but they were carrying strong crossbows, black feather arrows, and holding white-pole spears more than two people high, a total of about 1,000 people. The leader said that they had come to help defend the city, and the guards at the city gate did not dare to be careless, so they hurriedly sent someone to report to the Yang Mansion.

Yang Mansion and others were discussing, and Ling Hu Ke said: "The enemy marshal Tuoba Ying is suspicious by nature, but as a prince, he has no courage, maybe it is a certain army on the border of the Great Song Dynasty that has taken action, which makes him worry a lot and does not dare to retreat, so he retreats in Shangguan." However, when the news reached China, the king of Western Xia either strictly ordered him to attack or directly change the commander, in short, the day of siege would not be long in coming. Once the 200,000 army is dispatched, it is like an arrow from the string, and there is absolutely no turning back. “

Qin Muxue put on the appearance of an eldest sister, pinched the young man's little face with her hand and said approvingly: "Xiao Ke is right, I guess it must be Hu Yanlian Yang who has taken action." “

Ling Hu Ke was extremely unhappy when he heard her call her uncle's name, and tried his best to block her hand, Xiaobai sneered when he saw it: "Hey, you little devil has a lot of temper!" “

Chu Lianjun said: "It seems that it is very likely that this is the reason, General Zhenxi should have only sent troops to deter and did not attack, otherwise the enemy army will definitely loosen." “

Huyan Xiaofeng joked: "Oops! My dad is too timid, if it is me, I will directly lead the troops to flank the enemy, and then cut off their retreat, and the Dali army will give them a head-on attack, and drive this Tuoba Ying directly to the Erhai Lake to feed the fish! “

At this time, the soldiers guarding the city came to report the military situation outside the south gate, and everyone rode over on horseback, making Hu Ke overjoyed when he saw the team under the city, and said to Yang Yu: "Major General, this is the spearmen from the southwest of my town who came to help, please order the city gate to be opened and let them in." “

After hearing the eavesdropping, Yang Yu immediately ordered to open the city gate, and a thousand pikemen walked into the city neatly, and Ling Hu Ke took him to camp and set up camp, and Dali City got another strong help. Originally, when Linghu Ke retreated to Shangguan, he sent a letter of help to his father, asking for the secret dispatch of 2,000 pikemen to Dali City, although only 1,000 came, but it also greatly stabilized the morale of the army in the city, because Dali was no longer alone.

In the past few days, military and civilians from all parts of the country have arrived one after another......

The armies of the six counties of Yongchang Prefecture, Weichu Prefecture, Xiushan County, Huichuan Prefecture, Dongchuan County, and Shicheng County all arrived, and among them, the 5,000 Shicheng soldiers of Shicheng County had the strongest combat effectiveness.

Shanju County and Tengchong Mansion unfortunately fell after resisting to the death, and the people who came were few and there were many people, all of whom were hard bones who were unwilling to surrender.

The most tragic is Jianchang Mansion, only refugees come! The whole army from the highest commander to the ordinary soldiers were all killed, some of the people fled into the mountains, and the rest all poured into Dali City with their families, and all the people of the Western Xia got was an empty city!

At present, the number of troops in the city has reached 30,000, and after reorganization, they are stepping up training in the tactics of defending the city.

The most difficult problem is still food, the Yang government has worked hard to obtain a large amount of food, but the continuous influx of refugees from all sides, the population of the city has reached 400,000, and the food consumption is very staggering.

On the sixteenth day of entering the city, Dali City has been fully martial law, only the south gate of the four gates is opened, and the people and horses can only enter and exit. The war is coming, and no one has entered the city for a long time, only some timid people who are afraid of death have fled in panic!

The day is about to pass, and the south gate is about to close......

In the bleak autumn wind, under the afterglow of the sunset, an emaciated figure walked towards Dali City! The footsteps were unhurried, and the momentum could penetrate Changhong, and the officers and soldiers defending the city were so shocked by his momentum that they forgot to interrogate and stop them...... He swaggered into Dali City and walked into General Yang's Mansion like this!

It was dinner time, and he walked straight in......

Yang Yu hurriedly gave him a seat, and he sat down without saying a word.

Huyan Xiaofeng poured him rice wine, Qin Muxue brought him dishes and chopsticks, Zhao Bing had tears in his eyes, Chu Lianjun smiled, and Hu Ke was slightly nervous......

Only Xiaobai frowned deeply, and secretly angry in his heart: Who has such a big face, he sits down without saying a word, and the others are still serving him so carefully!

She was very unconvinced, because she had turned into air, so she stood up and yelled, "You...... Who the hell is it?! “

After finishing the wine first, he put down the wine bowl casually, and said slowly: "This must be Her Royal Highness Zhao Baiyu, the princess of the Great Song Kingdom, Zhang Qing in the North Mansion of Xiazhen!" “

"It turns out that you are the person we have been looking for but can't find no matter how we find it," Xiaobai was also startled when he heard him call him by his name, and hurriedly became polite, "Haha, how do you say that, it's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, hehe!" “

As soon as the words fell, her little head was hit hard with chopsticks by Zhao Bing beside her, and she screamed "ouch" in pain.

Zhao Bing immediately regretted it, so he deliberately smiled and sat upright.

At the age of sixteen, Zhang Qing took command of the general of Zhenbei University, and pioneered the infantry army Biaoqi Army, and has not tasted defeat so far. Xiao Bai peeked at the person in front of him: he was of medium stature and slightly thin, a pair of white hands without any traces of battle, his face was delicate and handsome, and he spoke casually, but he looked a little like Mr. Teaching, and there was a little bit of a world-famous general on his body!

She was suddenly disappointed, at this time Zhang Qing's eyes were looking at her, the two smiled and looked at each other, Xiaobai immediately felt a kind of embarrassment to be seen through, and hurriedly lowered his head and ate heavily.

Brothers, you and I all want to know where Zhang Qing went, but he only cared about drinking and didn't answer.

Only when Huyan Xiaofeng asked his sister Huyandi's whereabouts did he say: "Adi is very safe, you can rest assured." “

Then he asked rhetorically: "How is the garrison of Dali City?" “

Qin Muxue suddenly remembered something, and shouted: "Wait a minute, let's make a military order in front of the Great Song Emperor, and Brother Ren and Concubine Li Guifei are the guarantors, seeing that the date is approaching, how should we deal with this matter?" “

"Is there such a thing?" The wine bowl that Zhang Qing had just picked up stopped in mid-air.

Qin Muxue then fled into the palace after the memorial was attacked, Chu Lianjun challenged the Moon Demon God and then made a military order, and then fled to Dali Country all the way to the country of Dali after being chased and killed.

"I see, you guys had a great time!"

Xiaobai was amused by Zhang Qing's understatement, and laughed out loud, and responded: "...... It's really fun. “

Zhang Qing glanced thoughtfully at Huyan Xiaofeng, and Chu Lianjun said at this time: "Big brother, I think I can ask the King of Dali to write a letter of state and send it to the Great Song Dynasty, just say that you suddenly disappeared because you were chased and killed by the enemy, and you fled all the way to this place and happened to be rescued by the King of Dali." Now that the Western Xia army is coming to invade Dali, you have decided to stay and defend Dali City as a common person in order to repay the grace of saving your life, and Brother Ren is just going to envoy the Great Song Dynasty, and he will do his best to promote this matter, what do you think? “

"That's very good." Zhang Qing nodded in agreement.

As soon as Yang Yu was about to make arrangements, the fiery woman stood up and said, "Leave this matter to me." After saying that, the horse galloped into the palace.

Xiaobai was stunned and said stupidly: "Wow...... When did Sister Bing become so enthusiastic! “

"Now let's talk about defending the city," Zhang Qing's expression was very serious and serious, "The 200,000 troops of Western Xia will definitely come to the city tomorrow, and there is not much time left!" “

Regarding his judgment, Ling Hu Ke was slightly unconvinced: "How can the marshal see that the enemy army will come tomorrow?" “

Zhang Qing put down the empty wine bowl and said awe-inspiringly: "Linghu Gongzi, the crown prince Tuoba Ying is not suitable to lead troops to fight, it's just that the king of Western Xia is not worried that others will master the army of the country." Six days ago, you attacked Shangguan and defeated Tuoba Ying, this news must have been transmitted back to the Western Xia country, the king of Western Xia will be angry and will use the famous general Tuoba Ben, this person is a fast person, tonight will rush to Shangguan, and will pull out the camp overnight to march into Dali City, tomorrow the army will come to the city. “

Ling Hu Ke nodded again and again after hearing this, and his expression was a little more admiring.

"In this case, we should immediately go to the military aircraft tent to discuss countermeasures...... Qin Muxue stood up anxiously, but she looked around and saw that everyone else was calm and calm, sitting upright and drinking.

Yang Yu quietly tugged at her sleeve and whispered: "The big handsome has always been on the wine table, he can remember it with his ears, he can hide millions of soldiers in his chest, and his tricks are hidden in the wine he drinks." “

was overheard by Xiaobai and smiled coldly: "Cut...... What makes you admire so much, I say that they are all a bunch of big drunkards, and it turns out that they just smell like each other. “

"Drunkard! Drunkard......" she scolded unrelentingly.

It made everyone else laugh......
