Chapter 117: Marching into Dingbian

Xiao Ding conquered the five veterans in the same dormitory. I want to make fun of them.

"What? You don't want to? Xiao Ding asked.

"Don't dare, don't dare to ......, if we get a reward in the future, we will definitely give priority to the boss." Yu Feng said tremblingly.

"Boss, if the canteen improves the food in the future, I will definitely give my share of priority to the boss to eat. The third Wang Dong then expressed his position.

"In the future, we will take care of the work of cleaning the dormitory, and I will also help you wash your clothes and socks, boss...... "The fourth Zuo Fei was not to be outdone.

"In the future, the boss's foot washing water will be handed over to me, and I will also help wash the boss's feet." Old Wu Wugang said.

"In the future, I will pour the boss's night pot, so don't fight with me." The sixth Zhu Bo said.

Xiao Ding looked at these guys and said in his heart that if my fists were not hard, all these jobs would definitely fall on me. It seems that no matter where you go, you will speak according to your strength. If you don't have the strength, you don't have the right to speak. It's only for the sake of being bullied.

Xiao Ding inquired about the situation of the barracks like a few people in the dormitory. There are also some aspects of the current war.

According to these people, Xiao Ding's current boss is a metropolitan commander named Jin Xi, and Jin Xi's superior is called Huang Wenlong, who is the commander of the soldiers and horses of the North Battalion of the Xiang Army, and the training envoy of the Yongzhou Regiment. And the supreme commander of the Yongzhou army is Yongzhou Assassin Shi Feiwu.

The reason why the imperial court recruited troops on a large scale this time was because the Great Hara State colluded with the Great Xia State to jointly send troops and sent troops from the northern frontier, with the Great Hara State focusing on attacking the direction of Youzhou and the Great Xia State focusing on attacking the direction of Yongzhou. At present, the Dahara country is divided into two routes, one way to break through the Baima Pass, Shentangyu, Qinglong Gorge line, the other way to break through the Bailing Pass, Dajiaoyu, Heigu Pass, and go straight to the Huangsongyu area.

On the side of the Great Xia Kingdom, it has broken through Jiuyuan County and Yunzhong County, crossed the Yellow River, and went straight to the Guangyang area.

Xiao Ding didn't know the geography of this era, and listening to these people's stories, he was also in a fog. It is not known exactly where the enemy forces are located at the moment.

The next day, the leaders of the northern battalion of the Yongzhou Xiang Army held a meeting to discuss where to send troops. Xiao Ding didn't know how the officers at all levels discussed, but he soon received an order that this part of Jin Xi's troops would follow Huang Wenlong's large army to Dingbian County and fight the enemy head-on.

Because Xiao Ding had horses, he was put into the camp of the cavalry. Before leaving, Xiao Ding went to the armory and received a spear. Didn't receive armor. Because ordinary soldiers are not given armor.

Before leaving, Xiao Ding went to the township soldiers' dormitory to find Zhao Laixi and others, and they were also assigned the task of transporting grain, grass, materials and other materials to Dingbian County.

Xiao Ding told them to be more careful on the road, in case the enemy army came to loot the grain and grass, it would also be very dangerous.

Zhao Laixi, Zhao Hu and others agreed one by one. also instructed Xiao Ding to be more careful after he went to the front line.

When Xiao Ding returned to his dormitory, someone had already helped him bring dinner back from the cafeteria. Xiao Ding secretly thought, it's not bad to be a dormitory boss.

Early the next morning, the army marched. The army of 50,000 went straight to Dingbian County.

The army of the Great Song Kingdom was mainly infantry, and there were few cavalry. The 50,000 army led by Huang Wenlong only had 8,000 cavalry. There were few cavalry in the Great Song Dynasty, mainly because there was no good place to raise horses.

The horses that Zhao Laixi and Zhao Hu rode also became heavy laborers in the township soldiers. The township soldiers also followed the large army, but it was not long before the township troops were left behind by the main force. After all, the villagers brought some heavy supplies.

Dingbian County is located in the north of Yongzhou City, not too far from Yongzhou City, and the army has come to Dingbian County in two days.

The size of Dingbian County is about the same as that of Luoxia County, and after the 50,000 troops entered the city, the county seat seemed a little small. The county commander of Dingbian County, Yang Zhixian and the soldiers and horses in the county, all ruled, and personally went out of the city to meet the army. For the arrival of the army, the residents of Dingbian County welcomed it very much. Because they had already heard the news, the army of the Great Xia Kingdom was in Tuhe Town, not far north of the county seat. The next target that the Great Xia Kingdom is preparing to attack is most likely the county seat of Dingbian.

Xiao Ding was in the army, and he also felt very honored to see the scene of the people welcoming him. The heart said that if you can make some contributions to the people, even if your life is lost on the battlefield, it is worth it. He was a special soldier in the army before he crossed over, and he was born as a soldier, and he has a deep sense of responsibility for the country and the people.

The leader of the army of the Great Xia Kingdom was Li Daocheng, the prince of the Great Xia Kingdom. The emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom hoped that his son would come to the battlefield to exercise, accumulate some merits, and when he succeeded him on the throne in the future, he would have enough confidence and would not be looked down upon by the courtiers of the court.

Along with Li Daocheng came a military advisor named Mao Yanshun, and the most famous warrior of the Great Xia Kingdom, Balatian, as well as the famous generals Wan Niba, Han Qianhu, Fang Qiu Pi, etc.

The army had just entered Dingbian City, and before the leaders had time to discuss how to retreat from the enemy, a scout came back to report: saying that on the side of the Great Xia Kingdom, Li Daocheng had sent the generals Bala Tian and Han Qianhu to lead 20,000 horses towards Dingbian County. He also sent Wan Ni Ba and Fang Qiu Pi to lead 20,000 horses to take the county seat of Pubian County.

Scouts are also known as scouts and spies, and they are intelligence officers who spy on military intelligence in ancient armies, which are equivalent to scouts in later generations.

Hearing the report, Huang Wenlong frowned, of course he knew that Linxian Pubian County currently had no troops to stop the army of the Great Xia Kingdom. As for the original four or five hundred city guards in the county, it was not enough for people to cushion horses' hooves.

However, if they don't divide their troops to rescue, then Pubian County will be equivalent to giving up to the Great Xia Kingdom, and after they occupy Pubian, they will immediately turn around and support Balati to attack Dingbian City.

Hu Ren is good at riding and shooting, if his 50,000 army is only based on the city, he is not afraid of Hu people. But if you go out of the city to fight in the field, it is difficult to say who loses and who wins.

Thinking of this, Huang Wenlong raised his head, looked at the Yang County Order of Dingbian Zhi County, and then asked, "How does Yang Qing think to send troops?"

Yang County Ling naturally thought of the above, he shook his head, and said, "Pubian County can't be lost!" ”

Although Pubian County is not large, it also has tens of thousands of households, and if it is occupied by the Hu people, it will be the ordinary people who will suffer in the end.

Yang County, as a local parent official, naturally couldn't bear to see the people of Linxian County being devastated.

"Okay, Wei Dutong, you have to work hard, you immediately lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to Pubian County to support, and you must defend Pubian City." Huang Wenlong said to one of his military attachés.

"Jin Dutong, you immediately go down and arrange manpower to prepare materials for defending the city!" Huang Wenlong commanded Jin Xi again.

"Yes, sir!" Kim Hee took the order.

At this time, Xiao Ding didn't know what was about to happen, and he was carrying a bucket to give the horse water.
