Chapter 69: Night Attack

But at this time, Chen Yan didn't care about this, and ordered the army to be repaired, and then he went to prepare the food and grass supplies needed to attack Western Xia.

The big families in the city were blackmailed by Chen Yan one by one, and it was easy to gather the grain and grass needed for the army to pull.

Leaving a team of more than 100 people to guard Xizhou City, follow-up reinforcements will arrive soon, Chen Yan signaled to leave the town guards, and when the reinforcements arrive, they will start to punish the squire landlords who are full of evil.

After that, reinforcements arrived, and after two days of repair, the army marched all the way to the west, replenishing some troops, and the army of nearly 4,000 people marched towards Lanzhou City.

The rest of the squire army began to liquidate the evil squire landlords in Xizhou City, which was still the old rule, and those with a good reputation only had to cooperate with the squire army.

It would be nice to lower the rent for the tenants, but those whose reputation is so bad that the captives will not be left behind, they should be killed, they should be caught!

The Dang Capture Army rushed to Lanzhou City, although Lanzhou City was a border defense city and a place where heavy soldiers gathered, but it was suddenly attacked by the Dang Capture Army.

Before the Song army could react, the Dang army had already entered Lanzhou City, and then captured the commander of the Lanzhou Xiang Army and forced him to surrender.

Lanzhou City was captured by a drum!

It's just that Lanzhou City is a border city, not to mention the landlords and squires in it, but even the people are very few.

Only a few family members of the soldiers lived in Lanzhou City, and after occupying Lanzhou City, Chen Yan cleared the entire city after controlling the Song army in the city.

The ordinary soldiers were locked up for the time being, and those officers were executed in front of all the Song soldiers as long as they had done evil and the evidence was conclusive.

Then Chen Yan confiscated the weapons of the Song army, and those who were willing to go home were given 100 yuan for the journey, and those who were unwilling to go home stayed to repair the fortifications of Lanzhou City.

Almost all of the nearly 10,000 defenders in the entire Lanzhou city left, and only a few who had no home or mouth were willing to stay to help the Dang Capture Army repair the fortifications.

In the final analysis, it is because the Danglu Army is not strong enough now, and even these ordinary Song soldiers are unwilling to work for the Danglu Army.

Just when the army of the Dang Capture Army was about to send troops to raid the Western Xia Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division, a person who surprised Chen Yan came from Anping City.

Li Feng!

It was the general of the Song Army who was brave on the battlefield, but was sold by his teammates.

After being imprisoned by the Dang Capture Army for several months, he finally figured out that he wanted to be loyal to the Dang Capture Army and Chen Yan.

Looking at the majestic man in front of him, Chen Yan patted his chest.

"Why is General Li willing to serve Chen?"

Chen Yan asked a little puzzled.

"Respect, I see respect from the Grand Duke, respect for us stinky hills."

Li Feng said.

He was indeed willing to be loyal to him because of Chen Yan's love and respect for those ordinary soldiers, and he saw the shadow of the founding emperors of the past and present in Chen Yan.

He Li Feng doesn't want to live a mediocre life, and he also wants to earn a public waiting for all generations to rest with the country!

Seeing that the Dang Capture Army won big victories again and again, and even defeated the 10,000 elites of the Zhejia Army with inferior forces and small losses.

Only then did he make up his mind to get on the thief ship of the Dang Army!

Especially in this kind of battle of Vasilixia, he dared to be very interested.

Or it can be said that as long as it is a man of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no one who does not want to conquer the Western Xia!

……

The army was launched, and Jinyiwei and the intelligence officers under Zhao Qian were all scattered by Chen Yan.

One message after another began to converge towards Chen Yan's side.

The Western Xia army that had only entered Anping to burn and loot left Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division and began to return to Xingqing Mansion, the royal city of Western Xia.

Chen Yan did not hesitate to order the army to march hastily and rush towards Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division.

At this time, the Dang Capture Army usually eats and drinks well, and the benefits of strict training can be seen, and the Dang Capture Sergeant has a strong physique and superior physical strength.

Even if you are fully armed, it is still no problem to run dozens of miles a day!

The army marched rapidly for three days, and the sentinels of the army had come to Zhuo Luo and the garrison of the Southern Army Division and began to reconnoiter the garrison of Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division.

"Report to the Metropolitan Governor, Zhuo Luo and the defenders of the Southern Army Division have about 6,000 Western Xia foot soldiers, of which there are 300 foot soldiers, and there are cavalry but not many."

The sentinel reported to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan bowed slightly.

"We will not fight them in the field, we will encircle and annihilate them all in Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division."

Chen Yan said coldly.

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed.

"Li Wu!"

"Yes."

"Tonight, you will lead the team, storm the city gate of Zhuo Luo and the Southern Army, blow the gate open with gunpowder, and then the army will enter the city, and no one will be left who dares to resist."

"No!"

Li Wu saluted and agreed.

"Wang Guo!"

"Yes."

"You lead the army to follow behind the first colonel, and after opening the city gate, quickly enter the city to seize the city gate and other key positions."

"No!"

Wang Guo also agreed after the military salute.

The army of the Dang Capture lurked behind a mountain bag, and not far from them were Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division.

Zhuo Luo and Nanjun Si cultivated in a mountain pass in a valley, and the city wall was made of Sanhe soil and boulders, which was quite strong.

And thirty meters away from the city gate, there is a moat about ten meters wide!

If the defenders of the city are prepared, if they want to break through the city, it is estimated that they will have to fill a lot of lives inside.

When Song Shenzong attacked the summer on the fifth route, the army suffered under Zhuo Luo and the Southern Army, and the losses were very heavy before it was broken.

This time, the Dang Capture Army wants to break through Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division, and if the sneak attack cannot be successful, it will be very tricky.

……

It's late at night, between 3 and 4 a.m., which is about midnight, and it's the time of day when people are at their most tired.

On the tower of Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division, the guards and soldiers on duty of the Western Xia Army were dozing, and they did not think that they would be attacked.

After all, the Song people are notoriously weak, how could they take the initiative to sneak attack them!

But Chen Yan is not one of the cowardly emperors of the Song Dynasty, he never takes revenge overnight, so it is not too late for any gentleman to take revenge for ten years!

A few figures quietly appeared under the city wall, Li Wu personally led the team, and a few captured sergeants carried gunpowder bags on their backs and touched the roots of the city wall.

When they came to the city gate, several people carefully buried the gunpowder under the city gate, and pulled the lead out for a long time.

Then they gave each other a look and took out the fire fold.

Zizi ......

A moment later, a loud bang seemed to shake the earth.

Bang......

Thundered......

The city gate of Zhuo Luo and the Southern Military Division was directly blown up, and a large black hole appeared at the city gate, and sparks were still bubbling in the big hole.

"Brother, take revenge!"

Li Wu let out a loud shout and entered the city gate.

"Ah...... What's going on? ”

"Who is it? How can it be thundering?! ”

"! Who the hell is this! ”

Zhuo Luo, who was sleeping with his concubine in his arms, and the military secretary Xixia Shou were awakened by the sudden sound of explosion, and almost accidentally rolled under the bed.

The concubine beside him was also so frightened that she let out a sharp scream!
