Tuoben watched the fire at the east gate gradually extinguish, smiled lightly, returned to the handsome tent with satisfaction, took out the west wind reward from the king of Xixia, and prepared to reward the genius who wanted to lend the water of Erhai Lake to extinguish the fire of Dali. Oh no, you can go out and have a look! “

Tuoben dropped his glass and went out to take a look, and was immediately shocked that his army of 90,000 was crushed and retreated like a tide......

"Come on, set up a handsome flag!" Tuoben pulled out his sword and shouted, "Whoever dares to cross the handsome banner will be killed!" "That's what stabilized the panicked army......

"What the hell is going on?" He grabbed one of the generals and rebuked angrily, "Haven't our troops already put out the fire!" Why didn't you rush into the city, but you were defeated?! “

"Dashuai, I will risk my life to withstand the rain of arrows, rolling wood, and rolling stones in the city to extinguish the fire, and then rush in...... But I never expected it...... Unexpectedly......" The general stuttered, his whole body trembled, and he didn't dare to look up at the coach. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Tell me! If you don't make it clear, I'll kill you immediately! “

"Sir, the brothers rushed in and found out...... There was no way into the gates, because ...... Because the east gate has been completely sealed by the enemy army, it has now become a thick wall...... Our army is in despair...... The breath that was forced to lift it was relieved, and they fled one after another...... No...... They began to retreat. “

Tuoben stood on the spot after hearing this, his hand loosened, and the general fled with the road. He pretended to be calm and returned to the big tent, and after entering the tent, he swung his sword and slashed indiscriminately, until the tent was scattered, almost slashing the military advisor who followed him.

"Order the north gate and the south gate to increase troops at the west gate, and give a death order to Tuoba Ming, the general of the forward battalion, to break the west gate within three days, otherwise you will come to see you!" Tuoba roared angrily.

The military advisor watched the herald leave, and cautiously comforted: "Dashuai, Dali is a fortified city, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Let's better besiege the city, or wait for the news from the Great Song Dynasty to see who is defending the city and know each other......"

Tuoben couldn't listen to it at all under his anger, and he said hatefully: "Since ancient times, soldiers have not been expensive for a long time. The forward battalion was defeated in Shangguan, and the three princes of the army apologized for their crimes under the angry reprimand of our emperor, although the battalion did not have heavy weapons to attack the city, but the shame and courage, the mourning soldiers will win! It's also their turn to perform, my eldest brother Tuoba Ming attacked the West Gate through Cangshan, and he almost succeeded last night, what a pity! It seems that there is indeed a master in the city, and he can still defend it with elite troops under Ximen when I am overpowering the city...... Hum! In the end, he has three heads and six arms, and I have an army of 200,000 in my hands, occupying an overwhelming advantage, and when the city is broken, I will cut off his head with my own hands to relieve the hatred in my heart! After speaking, he slammed a sword and cut off a corner of the desk.

Simon is in danger!!

The north gate came to report that the enemy army outside the city increased its troops to the west gate by 10,000, and the general of the north gate, Huyan Xiaofeng, increased the troops to the west gate by 1,000 according to the proportion of the enemy's 30,000 and 10,000!

The south gate came to report, there were 10,000 enemy troops outside the city who returned from Xiaguan, and went directly to the west gate, and the general of the south gate had no soldiers to send, and he was willing to leave the five hundred people who were reinforced last night to Zhao Bing!

The crisis at the East Gate has not been resolved, and there are no troops to send!

At present, the enemy army is concentrated outside the west gate of 40,000 horses, once they stabilize their position and attack the city with all their might, Dali City will be attacked by the enemy, and it will be difficult to preserve!

"We have to find a way to get in touch with Ling Huke as soon as possible." Zhang Qing and Chu Lianjun urgently discussed countermeasures.

Yang Yu hurriedly came and quietly reported: "Dashuai, Brother Chu, Linghu Ke sent someone down the mountain, please go to Yang's Mansion to discuss matters quickly!" “

"Great!" Zhang Qing followed Yang Yu and hurried to Yang's mansion.

It turned out that Linghu Ke, the general of Cangshan, discovered the enemy situation in Ximen last night, and had quietly led his troops down the mountain, secretly lurking in the deep mountains and dense forests, ready to wait for the opportunity to move.

Linghu Ke has been fighting against the Xixia Forward Battalion since the beginning of Tiandu Pass, and he hates it to the core, but he also knows that it is powerful, and after thinking about it again and again, he is determined to launch the Battle of Ximen to annihilate this strong enemy and break one of Tuoba Ben's arms! Because the Cangshan Army alone couldn't do it, he secretly sent the young swordsman of the Qian Mansion to sneak back to the city, and was immediately sent to the Yang Mansion after receiving Zhao Bing.

"Dashuai." The young swordsman saw Zhang Qing saluting respectfully.

"Quickly get rid of these false courtesies, and talk about Ling Hu Ke's thoughts." Zhang Qing got straight to the point.

"Marshal Qiyu, General Linghu Ximen Battle is conceived as follows: After the enemy army has lost its sharpness during the day, tonight General Linghu will descend from the sky with the divine soldiers as the vanguard, and the Cangshan army as the main force, first burn the enemy's camp, and then launch an attack from a high position! In the chaos of the night, there will be a strong army in the city to rush out, and the two armies will flank the enemy before and after, such as the north and south gates and then send troops in time to block the enemy's retreat, and the 20,000 forward battalions of the enemy army will be completely annihilated. If the marshal agrees, light a large, two, and small pile of fires on the wall of the West Gate tonight, and General Linghu will attack as planned. After the young swordsman finished speaking, he gasped again and again, and Yang Yu hurriedly poured him a glass of water.

Yang Yu expressed concern: "If there are only 20,000 forward battalions, this plan is feasible, but now there are 20,000 more enemy troops, how should this be good?" ”

Zhang Qing pondered for a while, and suddenly praised loudly, he analyzed: "The merger of the three armies must have suspicions, and it cannot become a monolith, and the enemy army will inevitably be unexpected!" ”

Yang Yu then asked: "Then why don't you launch the Battle of Ximen immediately, and you have to defend it for another day, and I don't know if you can hold it?" “

Zhang Qing explained with a smile: "The most subtle thing about Xiao Ke's battle concept is that the time is set at tonight, when the big battle will be together, Tuoba Ben will definitely mistakenly think that the capture of the city by the West Gate is in sight, and he will never think that it is our army that will take the initiative to attack." It is easy to be exposed during the day, and once Tuoben quickly sends troops to reinforce after finding out the situation, not only will our army fall into a heavy siege, but the west gate may also be lost. The son of the southwest province of the town is a great talent! “

He paused, raised his eyebrows and ordered: "As for the West Gate, if you can defend it, you have to defend it, and if you can't keep it, you have to defend it, and immediately mobilize the young people in the city to participate in the defense of the city!" “

"Yes, Marshal." Yang Yu had long been worried about Sister A, and disappeared in an instant.

"Please arrange the mission!" The young swordsman is highly motivated.

"Come with me to Simon first." Zhang Qing led him to gallop westward.

Simon weeps blood......

The general, Zhao Bing, rested in the corner of the wall exhausted, and the defenders were commanded by a mighty old monk holding a powerful vajra sling.

Zhang Qing did not alarm the sleeping Zhao Bing, and went straight to the city, and when the old monk saw him, he immediately folded his hands and shouted: "Zhang Dashuai is good." “

Zhang Qing felt that the old monk's shouting was a little awkward, thinking that it might be because of his personality, so he hurriedly folded his hands and said, "Master Abbot is good." “

The old monk was stunned for a moment, hurriedly smiled in disguise, turned around and pointed out of the city, and said: "The enemy has increased 20,000 troops from the north and south gates, plus the 20,000 forward battalions that have arrived here last night, a total of 40,000 people, I am afraid it will not be easy to defend the city today." “

Zhang Qing wondered: "In the battle last night, didn't the enemy's forward battalion have losses?" “

The old monk sighed and said: "The enemy's combat effectiveness is very strong, and the loss may be more than 1,000 people. “

"Master hard work," Zhang Qing heard that he was not the abbot of Chongsheng Temple, so he changed his words, "There will be a fierce battle today, and I will do my best to mobilize reinforcements to support Ximen." “

The old monk smiled: "The old monk is not hard, the handsome man is hard, if the east gate was not set on fire last night and sealed the city gate, Dali City may have already been lost!" “

Zhang Qing respectfully folded his hands and said goodbye to him, and took the young swordsman back to the east gate, on the way he asked: "Have you seen this old monk in Chongsheng Temple before?" “

The young swordsman shook his head repeatedly.

Back at the east gate, Zhang Qing and Chu Lianjun began to count the troops: the south gate suffered few casualties, and there were 1,000 defenders; The loss at the north gate was minimal, and the defenders were less than 2,000; After the East Gate collected all the horses and counted them, there were 900 pikemen, 2,500 Yang Army, 1,500 State Army, and less than 5,000 troops; Simon counted more than 4,000 monks...... There were originally 20,000 defenders in the city, and now there are only about 12,000 people left, and after a day and a night of hard fighting, the number of troops has been greatly reduced, and the soldiers are very tired.

The shouts of killing in the west shook the sky, and the enemy army launched a new wave of siege battles!

Chu Lianjun ordered loudly: "As soon as the West Gate moves, the enemy troops of the other three gates will definitely support, and the East Gate is ready to fight!" “

Zhang Qing whispered to the young swordsman, who nodded and went down the city wall.

When the war was about to start, the king of Dali came to the east gate to sacrifice the army, accompanied by Zhao Piaopiao, the wife of Yangfu.

The queen poured everyone full of spirits, and poured a big bowl herself, she said in a high-pitched and passionate voice: "The survival of Dali City, please trust you warriors, I will do it first for respect!" After speaking, he held back the spicy and drank it in one go.

The officers and soldiers defending the city also drank their wine, and immediately someone coughed, "Cough, cough...... What a strong wine! “

Niu Ben scolded loudly: "What do you know, this wine is called Xifeng Lie, and it is the best liquor in Western Xia!" We drink Tangut wine and kill the Tangut people, just like the wine we drink, so that they will never return! “

"That's right! Right! General Niu is right, let them have no return! “

After all, it was strong alcohol, and a few soldiers who were drunk lightly got drunk and lay on the ground and couldn't get up, causing non-combat attrition......

"It's really strange that the Dali Palace actually hides the West Wind Spirit." Chu Lianjun was full of questions, "Why did you see the queen and not the king of Dali?" “

Zhang Qing seemed to have guessed one or two, and smiled mysteriously without saying anything.

At the beginning of a new day, one side captures the city, the other side defends the city, and a new cycle begins.

After several confrontations between the offensive and defensive sides, especially after the Battle of the Gate of Fire, Tuoben's army had lost its sharpness, and the soldiers were seriously afraid of war...... And Zhang Qing has repeatedly made strange plans to turn the tide, his personal prestige has reached its peak, the four swords of Yanmen have won the hearts of the army in desperate bloody battles, and Huyan Xiaofeng is even more popular!

The lieutenant general of Dali City is handsome and united! Although the defenders of the East Gate are thin, they are full of confidence and high morale, and they can hold on!

Zhang Qing was most worried about Ximen, the soldiers he sent to investigate had not returned for a long time, although the old monk helped, but without pikemen, I don't know if he could withstand it...... Thinking of Zhao Bing from time to time, my heart is even more anxious.

"Report...... "After the East Gate repelled a wave of attacks, the soldiers from the West Gate finally came back, running out of breath," the West ...... Simon was temporarily ...... after a bloody battle For now! “

After he relieved his breath, he slowly explained that the princes and nobles in the city and the children of the family all rushed to lead their respective soldiers to the west gate, supporting the crisis.

"It's really strange, why do these famous families run to the west gate, we don't see a single figure at the east gate, his grandmother's ......" Niu Ben scolded, in order to take care of the soldiers' emotions, he stopped after scolding, "If they don't come, what kind of battle can these gentlemen fight, right?" Brothers! “

"That's right, I'm going to have to be distracted and take care of them when they're coming, and I'm going to have a fart fight!"

"Haha...... You kid will talk nonsense, why don't you take care of me, look at this arrow in my ass, why didn't you block it for me! “

"Hahaha......"

Zhang Qing was moved by these innocent and simple soldiers: which war was not won by them in exchange for their lives, the war was so cruel, and if you are still laughing happily today, you may not be able to open your eyes again tomorrow...... But why did the war never stop?

Chu Lianjun came over and interrupted his emotion: "Big brother, is there any big man in Simon?" “

Zhang Qing grinned and said, "Don't worry, go over and take a look, won't you know!" “
