More than ten days passed, and it was the end of March.

The spring breeze is warm.

When the New Song Dynasty army and the Dali army had not yet arrived at the Great Song Dynasty frontier, the 50,000 troops of the Yue Li Dynasty, which played the role of fighting the autumn wind, had already arrived in the territory of the West Road in the south of the country.

They really did not surprise Zhao Dongting, and did not enter the palace in the northwest direction, but marched directly to the territory of Yongzhou.

At this time, Liu Hongyi, who received a message from Zhao Dongting's flying pigeon in Jingjiang Mansion, led the army and did not yet arrive in Yongzhou. only arrived in Yizhou.

Zhu Hecong, Zhu Haiwang and others have already arrived in Yongzhou City.

But Yongzhou City, at this time, only had 2,000 defenders.

On the border line of the Great Song Dynasty, Hengshanzhai, Yongzhou, and even Temo Road and Ziqi are bordering the Yue Li Dynasty and Dali along the line, which are undoubtedly the weakest defenses.

It's all because there are too many ethnic minorities here. And these ethnic groups have never really taken refuge in the Great Song Dynasty.

This from the last time Zhao? When M rebelled, it was evident that he was able to win over so many leaders.

Although Zhang Jue's soldiers were invincible that time, many tribes did not dare to raise their heads. But after he withdrew, the tribes continued to go their own way.

They are used to this kind of day when the emperor is far away, and many of Zhao Dongting's policies have not been implemented here at all, so they can't get too much support from the people.

Now Yongzhou can be said to be full of devastation.

The Yongzhou Zhizhou of the new faction of the Great Song Dynasty was able to make the number of defenders reach 2,000 in just over half a year after the Yongzhou Rebellion passed, and it was not well that it was not annexed by those tribal leaders. Of course, this is also thanks to the support of Yizhou, Penn and other state capitals next to Yongzhou, otherwise, with the current situation in Yongzhou, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support even 2,000 guards.

This place is poor, and Changsha is a completely different situation.

The city was cold, and there were not many people to be seen. As far as the eye can see, there are few houses that can attract people's attention.

At this time, Zhu Haiwang, Zhu Hecong and others were all in the hall of the Yongzhou Mansion.

Mao Xingyan, the governor of Yongzhou, and several key officials of Yongzhou were on the side. Although Zhu Haiwang and Zhu Hecong are not very old, the position of deputy marshal makes Mao Xingyan dare not slack off.

After inquiring about the current situation in Yongzhou, Zhu Haiwang and the others' faces were not very good-looking.

Last time Guangwang Zhao? M is making trouble in Yongzhou, which really hinders the development of Yongzhou. Let Yongzhou now be scattered.

The whole of Yongzhou, such a large territory. Except for Yongzhou City, Taiping Village, Yongping Village, and Guwan Village, they were not under the control of the Great Song Dynasty.

In other words, although Mao Xingyan is a governor, the territory he governs and the army he controls are actually similar to the county orders.

There were a total of 2,000 defenders, and Yongzhou and Taiping, Yongping, and Guwan were only 500 each. With this amount of troops, it is very difficult to deal with those tribes who rebel and fight the autumn wind from time to time.

This made Zhu Haiwang and others only hope that Liu Hongyi could bring enough soldiers to come. This Yongzhou defender is obviously unreliable.

And at this moment, there were suddenly soldiers who hurried to the main hall of the governor's mansion.

As soon as he ran into the lobby, he didn't even bother to kneel down and shouted: "Lord Zhizhou, disaster is coming, disaster is coming." ”

"Huh?"

Mao Xingyan's brows suddenly furrowed, and he asked, "Why are you so alarmed?" ”

He still has some official authority on him, and there is a faint murderous aura. Before he was transferred to Ren Zhizhou in Yongzhou, he was the deputy general of the defenders in Jingjiang Mansion.

Dong Zhen, the transfer envoy of Guangnan West Road, sent him, a martial artist, to be the governor of Yongzhou, and there was no hope that he could suppress the thoughts of those tribes with strong means, just like Qiongzhou.

It's a pity that Mao Xingyan hasn't had time to show his strength in Yongzhou, and he hasn't even had time to clean up the mess, and now there is another war.

The soldier who ran into the hall swallowed heavily and said, "There is a flying pigeon that the 50,000 troops of the Yue Li Dynasty are already less than fifty miles away from my Taiping Village!" ”

Mao Xingyan's face changed greatly, "Less than fifty miles? ”

The soldier gasped and said, "This ...... At this time, I'm afraid that the fight has already started. ”

In these years, communication was inconvenient, and the whereabouts of the army were not so easy to catch while on the way.

Take this Yongzhou as an example, Taipingzhai is the closest village bordering the Yue Li Dynasty. However, it is impossible for the defenders in the wall to keep guard a hundred miles away.

It is not easy to set up a beacon tower fifty miles away, after all, leaving Taipingzhai is the territory of those tribes.

They may not allow the Great Song soldiers to set up camp in their territory.

Mao Xingyan's face changed again and again, and his recklessness as a military general was reflected at this time, and he shouted: "Gather soldiers and horses!" Get ready to go with the house! ”

"Slow!"

Zhu Haiwang stopped in time beside him, "There are only five hundred soldiers in Yongzhou City, I'm afraid it will be useless." ”

Mao Xingyan hurriedly said: "But let the five hundred brothers in Taipingzhai be killed by the monkeys of the Yue Li Dynasty?" ”

He didn't care that Zhu Haiwang was the deputy marshal.

Zhu Haiwang's eyes swept over Mao Xingyan, a little cold, "Even if you lead five hundred guards to go, you can save them?" Will you be able to catch up? ”

Mao Xingyan's face turned red, but he didn't know what to say.

yes, what can five hundred defenders do?

And maybe now the Taiping Village has been broken.

It is about 200 miles from Taipingzhai to Yongzhou, counting the time from Taipingzhai to Yongzhou. The army of the Yue Li Dynasty has already arrived at Taipingzhai.

Mao Xingyan was dull for a few seconds, and said anxiously and angrily: "Then what do you say we should do now?" ”

Zhu Haiwang looked at Zhu Hecong and said, "Big brother, let's lead the army to Guwanzhai now, it should be too late, right?" ”

Zhu Hecong said: "Yongzhou is closer to Guwanzhai than Taiping Village, and it should be in time." ”

Zhu Haiwang looked at Mao Xingyan again, "Mao Zhizhou, since Lord Dong asked you to come to Yongzhou, can the ordnance be distributed to you sufficiently?" ”

Mao Xingyan was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly replied: "There are many people in Yongzhou here, and since I came here, Lord Dong and General Liu have indeed given me a lot of weapons." There are thunderbolts and dragon guns. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly showed some sneer, "It's just that I haven't even recruited the defenders these days, and these firearms are still stacked in the arsenal." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Haiwang nodded heavily, "Then you immediately gather the soldiers and take out these firearms." Then go to Guwanzhai with Ben Shuai. ”

Mao Xingyan looked at Zhu Haiwang and was a little suspicious, "Could it be that the deputy marshal is planning to defend Guwanzhai to the death?" ”

He knew Zhu Haiwang's background, and he inevitably underestimated Zhu Haiwang.

Zhu Haiwang just nodded slightly.

Mao Xingyan was not polite, "I'm afraid the deputy marshal is thinking too simply." Not to mention whether our army can hold Guwanzhai, what if the monkeys of the Yue Li Dynasty bypass Guwanzhai and go straight to Yongzhou? ”

He can not care too much about those tribes, but the people in this Yongzhou city are all people who are interested in the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhu Haiwang also saw Mao Xingyan's contempt for him, but he was not angry, and only said: "If Guwanzhai is an empty village, do you think they will bypass it?" ”

As he spoke, he said: "Not only the five hundred guards and firearms in Yongzhou City, but also you immediately fly pigeons to order Yongping Village, so that the guards in Yongping Village will immediately rush to Guwanzhai with firearms to gather with us!" ”

Mao Xingyan stiffened his neck, "I want to know what the deputy marshal is going to do." ”

Zhu Haiwang said quietly: "Follow the emperor's example and set up a mine array." ”

Mao Xingyan was slightly stunned, so he didn't say anything more, and hurriedly ran outside. The power of thunder, he knew.

Although he didn't know much about the mine array, he had also heard of Zhao Dongting's achievements when he was on Jinzhou Island.

Those monkeys of the Yue Li Dynasty will never know the power of the minefield, right?

Zhu Haiwang thought about Zhao Dongting and let Yue? The secret letter handed over to the two brothers murmured in his heart: "The soldiers of the Yue Li Dynasty really have some ability. ”

was able to pass through those tribal territories in such a quick time and attack Taiping Village. The army of the Yue Li Dynasty was undoubtedly extremely tough, and it had the capital to make those tribes dare not raise their heads.

The military camp in Yongzhou City soon became noisy.

And Taipingzhai, which is two hundred miles away, is indeed shouting and killing at this time.

The 50,000 troops of the Yue Li Dynasty stretched outside the village without end.

As long as the number of people exceeds 10,000, it is really crowded.

The wooden gate of Taiping Village has been broken by the soldiers of the Yue Li Dynasty at this time. The soldiers who attacked the fortress were only 2,000 people.

However, the combat effectiveness exerted by these 2,000 people should not be underestimated.
