The Yang's Mansion was brightly lit overnight, Zhang Qing was not allowed to take command of the city, and the wine table would arrange the city defense task......

Yang Yu was appointed as the deputy marshal, responsible for unifying and coordinating all military affairs in the city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Qin Muxue was appointed as the general of the patrol battalion, commanding the 3,000 Yang Mansion Army, responsible for defending the security of the palace and the rescue of the four gates of Dali City.

Chu Lianjun was appointed as the general of the East Gate, commanding 4,000 Yang Mansion troops to guard the East City Gate, and the four Yang Mansion deputy generals each led 1,000 troops. The east gate is open, and if there is no accident, it will be the enemy's main attack direction, so it will be defended by heavy soldiers.

Huyan Xiaofeng was appointed as the general of the North Gate, commanding 3,000 Yang Mansion troops to guard the North City Gate, and each of the three Yang Mansion deputy generals led 1,000 troops. The terrain outside the north gate is slightly narrow, which is not conducive to a large-scale siege, but the north side threatens the enemy's flank, and must be the second direction of attack.

Appointed Chi Blood as the general of the South Gate, commanded 2,000 Yang Mansion troops to guard the South City Gate, and the deputy general of the army was appointed by Chi Xue. Outside the south gate, it is the throat road in and out of Dali City, it is a steep slope from high to low, which is not conducive to attacking the city but is extremely important.

Zhao Bing was appointed as the general of the West Gate, commanding 3,000 Yang Mansion troops to guard the West City Gate, and the last three deputy generals of Yang Mansion each led 1,000 troops. The west gate faces Cangshan, the terrain is steep and rugged, and the large siege equipment cannot reach it, which is the safest according to common sense, but it must be guarded against.

What is surprising is that the young general Ling Hu Ke was appointed by Zhang Qing as the general of Cangshan, in addition to being allocated to the 10,000 state army, he also handed over the amazing combat power of the divine soldiers to his command.

Qin Muxue was the most anxious and openly objected: "Marshal, the troops in the city are already stretched, and now they have transferred the divine soldiers from heaven and 10,000 troops to defend Cangshan, and it is not enough to have only 5,000 people left in the reserve." I think it is enough to send at most 2,000 people up the mountain, the enemy marshal Tuoben has an army of 200,000 in his hands, and he has a great chance of directly attacking the city, so he will not divide his troops to attack Cangshan to ask for trouble, even if he captures Cangshan, he still has to attack the West City Gate! “

"Wrong, big mistake!" Zhang Qing drank a bowl of wine, stood up and said heavily, "Whether Cangshan can be preserved will be the key to whether Dali City can be defended!" “

He walked up to Qin Muxue and gently patted her shoulder with his hand, (the two only have a one-sided relationship, and he still treats Qin Muxue as a man, and he can't change it for a while, Qin Muxue doesn't mind.) "You said there weren't enough troops in the city, but I thought it was enough!" The high walls of Dali City are not easy to break, and 20,000 troops are more than enough to defend the city, and don't forget that we still have 1,000 pikemen. If I'm not mistaken, this white-poleed pikeman was specially trained by General Foxcuti to defend the city, right? “

His gaze turned to Ling Hu Ke, who nodded excitedly.

"A thousand pikemen are a thousand seeds, and you can train all 20,000 people in the city into 20,000 pikemen, don't you say?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The top ten lieutenants of the Yang Mansion were enthusiastic when they heard this, and they agreed again and again.

"And the divine soldiers of the West Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty are only suitable for field battles, and the defense of the city cannot exert its due combat power, it is better to release it out of the city to gallop, and it is unknown whether it will be of great use in the future."

"Speaking of which, is it really that important to go to Cangshan?" Princess Xiaobai asked unconvinced, she was obviously on Qin Muxue's side.

"Yes! It is not only to prevent it from happening, but also to leave a living chess piece, do we have to blindly defend and not look for opportunities to launch a counterattack? The best defense is offense, and when the city runs out of food, we will be powerless to defend it anymore! “

Zhang Qing just raised his right hand this time and wanted to pat Qin Muxue's shoulder again, when he suddenly remembered something, his hand paused in mid-air and then withdrew it, turning his head and bumping into Huyan Xiaofeng's sneer, only an embarrassed smile.

"Also, hide all the stone throwers and crossbows in the city so that the enemy can't see them." Zhang Qing gave the last order, "All the generals are in place immediately, and Hu Ke will immediately lead the troops up the mountain!" “

The generals took the order and left, and the deputy generals of the Yang Mansion began to talk again, "You say, the four gates have been closed, even if there is news in the city, they can't be sent out, why hide the stone thrower and the giant crossbow?" “

"That's right, can't the Tangut people fly into the air and spy on it?"

"You just don't have to say a few words, let's just do it, why think so much, you're not the boss."

The young general Ling Hu Ke was stopped by Zhang Qing, and specially advised: "Ling Hu Gongzi, you go to the Qian Mansion to find a few helpers, it is best to be familiar with the terrain of Cangshan, and it is convenient to exchange news with us in the future. “

"Don't worry, the last general will not fail in his mission." Linghu Ke didn't talk much, and walked back.

Chu Lianjun went and returned, followed by the old sedan chair man in the Qian Mansion, the old man saw Zhang Qing bowing his hand, and raised his voice: "General Qiqi Zhenbei, the last general Niu Ben, once served as the deputy general of the forward battalion of the northwest mansion of the town, please assign military affairs to the marshal!" “

Zhang Qing looked at the tough old man in front of him, nodded and praised: "Great, the four deputy generals of the forward battalion of the northwest mansion of the town were famous, and a thousand pikemen were handed over to your old man's command, first maneuver in the city and stand by, and then reinforce the enemy's main attack direction!" “

"The last will be ordered!" Niu Ben and Chu Lianjun retreated together.

"Look, the old soldiers are just different, how polite! It's like you little devils who don't grow big or small for a day. Zhang Qing joked to Qin Muxue.

"Marshal, how to arrange the remaining 5,000 state government troops?" Yang Yu asked urgently.

"How powerful are these people?" Zhang Qing asked rhetorically.

"Alas, Dali has not fought for many years," Yang Yu looked sad, "These are all temporary recruits, and I have sent the Shicheng soldiers with strong combat effectiveness and the army of Yongchang Mansion to Linghu Ke, and the rest is just a number." “

"In this way, it's better to let them follow Xiao Ke up the mountain too!" Zhang Qing leaned back in the chair and said lazily.

"No way!" Before he finished speaking, Qin Muxue hurriedly stopped.

"Who is the deputy commander of the two of you?" Zhang Qing smiled and closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep after speaking.

Seeing this, Yang Yu pulled Qin Muxue aside and whispered: "Don't make noise, the handsome man is tired, let him sleep well." “

Qin Muxue pouted, playing Laipi, and Zhang Qing's voice came from there, "Xiaoyu, kiss it!" It made the two of them blush.

The three of them were too tired, so they leaned back in their chairs and fell asleep.

In a moment, it was dawn.

"Report to the commander, the enemy army of Western Xia has arrived outside the gate of the East City!"

"Report to the commander, the enemy army of Western Xia has arrived at the north gate!"

"Report to the commander, the enemy army of Western Xia has arrived at the south gate, and one of them is rushing down the pass!"

"Thank you, grandma," Zhang Qing grabbed the steamed buns prepared by grandma, and walked while eating, "Let's go to the east gate to have a look first......

The three fast horses galloped towards the east, and the hooves of the horses made a crisp "tap and tap" sound on the bluestone pavement.

On the east city gate, Niu Ben had already arrived with a thousand white-pole pikemen, and also brought twenty young swordsmen from Qianfu. Seeing the handsome Zhang Qing, Niu Ben hurriedly stepped aside and gave up the best lookout position on the city tower.

Horn joint venture, army siege!

The endless black army outside the city is rolling and moving, and the black soldiers are surging like ant colonies, numbering at least 100,000!

Among them, a tall flag is waving in the wind, and the word "tiger ben" on it is particularly conspicuous against the backdrop of black flags and white characters!

"I didn't expect Tuoben to bring the Tiger Ben Army as well, this is a strong army that is difficult to deal with, fortunately there are only 5,000 people." After Zhang Qing finished speaking, he looked at Niu Ben.

The old man, who had dealt with the Western Xia army back then, said: "The marshal is wise, the Tiger Ben Army is a guard army specially used to defend the palace, and its combat effectiveness is very strong!" “

Zhang Qing thought for a moment and asked softly, "Was it established after that time?" “

Niu Ben was taken aback when he heard this, and bowed his head and did not answer.

Chu Lianjun had been observing the situation outside the city, and he wondered in his heart: Why didn't he see the enemy's forward battalion appear?

The military situation was urgent, and Zhang Qing ordered: "The deputy marshal listens to the order, Tuoben will definitely attack the east gate, and immediately transfer the 5,000 state capital troops to the vicinity, and prepare enough bows and arrows to pay attention to dodge." “

Yang Yu was ordered to transfer troops, and then Zhang Qing and Chu Lianjun whispered, and then ran to the north gate with Qin Muxue.

The 30,000 enemy troops outside the north city gate have become besieging the city, but the general who defends the city, Huyan Xiaofeng, is not in the city, and finds a deputy general of Yang Mansion to ask, but he says that he is still sleeping.

Qin Muxue jumped up in a hurry when she heard this, and shouted: "What? When the soldiers came to the city, he was still sleeping. “

Zhang Qing smiled slightly and continued to ask, "Did he say anything else?" “

The adjutant general replied: "General Huyan said, such a small enemy is not enough to worry about, and he will take care of them when he is full of sleep." “

Zhang Qing laughed after hearing this, and cheered: "Okay, then I'll wait to see his performance!" After saying that, he turned around and went straight to the south gate.

On the way, Qin Muxue asked closely: "Marshal, do you want to send more soldiers to the north gate?" Brother Feng is so big, I'm afraid he will lose it! “

Zhang Qing smiled calmly: "My brother-in-law, if you are flustered in a small matter and a big thing is determined, you can rest assured, he is fine here!" “

There were only 10,000 enemy troops outside the southern gates.

"Enlightened handsome!" Red blood is dressed in iron armor, and has a strong desire to fight, "The enemy army initially had about 30,000 people, and later divided the troops to capture the pass, leaving these 10,000 horses and horses It seems that they are not in a hurry to attack the city, just to drag down part of our army." “

Zhang Qing cast a look of appreciation, he patted the red blood on the shoulder and said: "Don't be careless, don't go out of the city to attack the enemy, give the enemy a chance!" “

After he finished speaking, he rushed to the west gate non-stop, Zhao Bing saw him from a distance and rushed over quickly, and said eagerly: "Marshal, the enemy troops at the east gate, north gate, and south gate have come to the city, and there is no movement on my side, quickly transfer me to the east gate to help Brother Chu!" “

"Sister Bing, can you change your urgency," Zhang Qing looked at the snow on the top of Cangshan Mountain opposite, and asked in a low voice, "When did Ling Hu Ke go up the mountain?" “

"About an hour ago," Zhao Bing gathered his mind slightly, "it should be almost time to arrive at the Drifting Zero Faction's residence by now, and I have sent someone to inform him of the arrival of the enemy army." “

"Good! This kid's movements are not too slow," Zhang Qing looked at Zhao Bing with a gentle gaze, "Bingmei, don't underestimate Ximen, on the battlefield, often the least lively place is the most deadly, you must firmly guard this gate!" “

Yang Yu rushed to Ximen at this time and brought breakfast made by his grandmother, Zhao Bing stroked his brother's head, and the sister and brother hurriedly parted after encouraging each other.

Zhang Qing explained that Qin Muxue led the patrol battalion to maneuver between the east gate and the north gate, and then rushed to the east gate with Yang Yu.

Outside the east city gate, the black-pressed Western Xia army has already launched an offensive posture, the war drums are deafening, the military flags are colorful, and a large number of cloud ladders are slowly approaching the moat.

…… The 5,000 Tiger Ben army did not move.

Just when the Western Xia army spread the cloud ladder all over the moat, a towering bamboo pole was suddenly erected behind it, and an extremely thin soldier jumped to the top like a monkey, stretching out his head to peep into the city of Dali......

Chu Lianjun was about to order the soldiers to release the arrows, but Zhang Qing stopped him and smiled easily: "What's the matter with letting him see." “

Chu Lianjun immediately understood: the stone thrower and the giant crossbow had been hidden, and the state army was also hidden in the private house, and deliberately showing weakness could paralyze the opponent and underestimate the enemy!

I saw the thin monkey waving a red order flag in the air!
