Chapter 514: Eight Thousand Foot Soldiers, Two Thousand Elite Horsemen Have Arrived (First Update)

Chapter 514

At dusk on the fourth day when the Western Xia army arrived outside Hongdezhai, Zhi Keshi and others finally received handwritten letters from Zhang Qi and Su Dongpo.

He expressed his anxiety about their bold plan, but he also expressed certain expectations, and at the same time, let them think twice and decide on it before implementing it.

"They're throwing the problem back......" Zhi Keshi sat behind the desk with a bitter expression, his expression as sad as if he had just been beaten by a dog or was beaten by a dog.

These officials are really irresponsible, right? Obviously, I passed the news to you, hoping that you could come up with an idea, but the result was good, and the ball was kicked back by these two top bosses.

Look at it yourself, do a good job, you are the great merit, the first merit, if you don't do it well, hehe......

Wang Yang also felt a lot of pain, and originally thought that Su Dongpo, the old driver, would at least show moral support, but as a result, there was no difference between Su Dongpo's reply and that Zhang Qi's reply.

"Wang Jianjun, you proposed this plan, and now Lord Zhang and Master Su have given an answer, should we do it or not?" After a long time with a sad face, his eyes fell on the thoughtful Wang Yang and asked.

"General Zhe, if you ask Wang, who is the drafter and initiator of this plan, do you think you can get other answers from me?" Wang Yang raised his head and looked at Zhe Keshi and said with a smile.

"But if the plan fails, we can't afford to be guilty." Zhi Keshi's expression was very bitter.

Wang Yang nodded approvingly. "Having said that, however, Wang thinks that as long as we plan properly, the probability of success of the plan is at least eighty percent."

Seeing that Zhe Keshi's face was full of melancholy and hesitation, Wang Yang simply said: "Wang is a prisoner, and the plan was proposed by me, if something happens at that time, Wang will personally write to His Majesty and the Empress Dowager to ask for guilt." ”

"W-that's not good, is it?" Hearing Wang Yang say this, Zhi Keshi shook his head slowly after thinking about it. "If something really goes wrong, how can Zhe stay out of it?"

"What do you ......mean, General Zhe" After Wang Yang saw Zhe Keshi's expression, he already knew the answer, and then his eyes turned and fell on the body of the grandfather of Ma Shangma.

Although this thing is as timid as a mouse, he is one of the three giants of Hongdezhai today, a dignified eunuch and a supervising army. Ma Shang glanced at Zhi Keshi, and then glanced at Wang Yang.

After a while, he smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Since the two adults already have ideas, even if our family has any ideas and ideas, I'm afraid it can only be a few."

"So, you're going to stand with the two of us?" Wang Yang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this guy's appearance, although the vote could be two to one, it was best for everyone to work together.

"Well, although our family doesn't understand military affairs, it is up to the two adults to be in charge, and our family only hopes that the two adults can be cautious."

"Then it's decided, you can rest assured, father-in-law, I will win this matter." After Wang Yang patted Ma Shang's thin shoulder, he said confidently.

Five hundred partial vans, it doesn't seem to be much, but it's not a lot, except for the more than 80 partial vans that are still loaded with cement, the rest of the cars have been unloaded, and then began to demolish some unwanted buildings in Hongde Village, and loaded those logs and stones onto the partial vans.

Although Hongdezhai is busy in full swing, but outside the city seems to be very calm, the Xixia scouts are still as usual from time to time to harass them, but in front of the sharp bow and crossbow of the Great Song Dynasty, they can often only return in vain, and there is almost no way to get close to the distance of two hundred steps of Hongdezhai.

And all the officers of the capital rank have already learned the news, and they are also grinding their fists in anticipation.

At dusk on the sixth day, while having dinner together, Zhi Keshi, Wang Yang and others, who were continuing to discuss the possibility of the plan, heard a rush of footsteps.

I saw a general in armor striding in with excitement on his face, and behind him, there were two tired soldiers who were drenched and shivering.

"General, here, our reinforcements have arrived at the agreed position, 8,000 foot soldiers, 2,000 elite cavalry intact, and at this moment they are stationed at the mountain pass west of Maling. This is the messenger sent by General Hu......"

The two of them came to Hongdezhai on the order of General Hu to report the news, in order not to alarm the Western Xia miscellaneous soldiers besieging Hongdezhai, and then made a big circle, and then came along the river bank from the upper reaches of the Baimachuan River.

After some encouragement, he questioned the two messengers in detail, and learned that the 10,000 elites were all stationed in the back valley mouth of Maling at the moment, which was very hidden.

After discussing with Wang Yang and the generals under his command, Zhi Keshi repaired another book, sent a capital leader and ten elite soldiers, and rushed to Maling Valley with the two with letters.

After a night of correspondence, it was determined that in the early morning of the next day, General Hu and others would lead the 10,000-strong army to suddenly attack the defenders from the north.

And as long as the killing outside the city is together, Hong Dezhai will open three doors, and the army will be exhausted, cooperating with the 10,000 elites to break through the encirclement of Wei Mingji.

As long as the Western Xia army under Wei Mingji is defeated, they will inevitably flee south, and the army must not be able to leave a chance for Wei Mingji to breathe and gather the army, and it is best to directly cover up and kill under Su Yuanzhai.

Hongdezhai will leave 1,000 Xiangyong to garrison, and 500 Xiangyong will rush to the narrow land between Suyuanzhai and Hongdezhai with about 3,000 young people who have been temporarily recruited to start building the wall.

When the night was still in the sky, and the east gradually revealed a faint morning light, the three thousand elite soldiers in Hongdezhai were already dressed in sharpness, silently lined up like a long dragon, and stood in front of the three village gates.

The five hundred horsemen were concentrated under the Dongzhai Gate, while Wang Yang, Zhi Keshi and the others stood here, looking to the north with anxious expressions. Waiting is the most difficult, from the beginning to the dawn now in the east, Wang Yang and others have been waiting for almost half an hour.

Most of the piles of bonfires in the Xixia camp have become faint embers, and you can also see the periphery of the camp with your eyes on the periphery of the camp, there are several teams of Xixia soldiers patrolling, but they are stumbling a little, it seems that in the early hours of the morning, it is really the time when people's vigilance is the lowest.

"General Zhe, General Hu, they shouldn't be a hexagram, right? It stands to reason that if thousands of troops and horses charge, there should be a loud noise, why haven't we heard anything until now. ”

Ma Shang, who was also wearing a Yuan Yu armor, but his expression was very nervous, couldn't help but ask Zhi Keshi. Ma Shang's father-in-law is in a very complicated mood now, not only hoping that the reinforcements will attack, but also afraid that if he fails at that time, even if he can save his life, he is afraid that it will be difficult to have a bright future in front of the emperor in this life.
