Besides, Li Ke, the king of Changshan, led 250,000 people to kill Qingshui City in a hurry, of which 100,000 troops were drawn from the ice road; At this time, the brutal attack on Qingshui City was underway, although there were only 50,000 Xia troops in Qingshui City, but the defense was extremely strong, and the Song army besieged the city with heavy losses; Every day, the defense of the Xia army in Qingshui City is more perfect.

In the south of Qingshui City, Yang Shousu ascended to the top of the city under the protection of several guards; Xiang Yanshu asked, "General Yan, how is the battle situation now?" ”

"My lord, since the beginning of the war, we have repelled ten large-scale attacks by the Song army, and the Song army has lost no less than 50,000 troops; So far, the Song army has never captured our city, but the thunder stones and rolling wood in our city are almost used. Yan Shu reported to Yang Shousuyu.

"NVC Rolling Wood is gone, we still have big ice cubes!" Yang Shousu said with a smile; "Your kid's brain has to be alive, and it's not as good as an old man like me."

As soon as Yan Shu heard Yang Shousu's words, he immediately suddenly realized: "The last general understands, let the soldiers freeze big ice cubes tonight." ”

"Are our troops suffering heavy losses?" Yang Shousu asked.

"The losses of our army are not large, so far they have lost less than 5,000 people, and most of them are only wounded." Yanshu said.

Yang Shousu nodded and said, "This first step is finished, and now it's time for the second step." ”

"Step two?" Yan Shu asked puzzled; "What second step?"

Yang Shousu didn't say it directly, but asked Yan Shu: "General Yan, where did the Song army outside our city come from?" ”

"Of course, it's from the Daimyo's Mansion." Yan Shu suddenly realized again; "My lord's meaning is to let His Royal Highness King Changshan lead an army to attack the Daimyo's Mansion."

"No, it's too dangerous to surprise the Daimyo's Mansion." Yang Shousu said: "And the road is far away, and we don't know the situation of the Daimyo's Mansion, once the Song army returns to help our army; I mean, now Qingshui City is worry-free, His Royal Highness King Changshan can lead the army to insert into the rear of the Song army, this Song army is the elite of the Song army led by Zhao Xu, the king of the Great Song Dynasty, if it can be crippled or eaten, this can be a fatal blow to the Song army! ”

"The last general understands, thank you for your teaching." Yan Shu clasped his fists and saluted.

"The key now is that we must let His Royal Highness King Changshan know that Qingshui City is worry-free, and the news here must be reported to His Royal Highness King Changshan." Yang Shousu said.

"Now the Song army has surrounded us like an iron bucket, it is not easy to rush out of the city, this time the vigilance of the Song army is too high, and the last general has tried to send people to break through but the Song army has blocked back." Yan Shu said to Yang Shousu; "The Song army has set traps and defensive lines on the periphery, and there is a great posture to trap us."

"Hey!" Yang Shousu sighed and said; "It seems that this news can't be spread, and how His Royal Highness King Changshan will choose can only be left to fate."

"My lord, the last general thinks that this action of the Song army has been premeditated; I'm afraid they're not just attacking us at Shimizu Castle. Yan Shu said to Yang Shousu.

"Yes, the Song army outside the city is only more than 200,000, and the rest of the Song army must have gone north to rescue the giant deer." Yang Shousu said with great certainty: "Once our army's defenders in Julu are besieged, or the whole army is annihilated, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"But my lord, we don't have much food or grass left; Now the grain and grass can only last for another ten days, and if we can't break the siege after ten days, we will have to kill horses to satisfy our hunger. ”

"Concentrate on defending the city, and everything will be known in ten days."

"Yes, the last general will order ......" Yan Shu said to Yang Shousu: "My lord, it's dangerous here, you better go down!" ”

As soon as Yan Shu's words fell, the Song army's attack began again, tens of thousands of Song troops set up ladders, pushed catapults, bed crossbows, and building carts began to attack Qingshui City again, and the cooperation between the various arms of the Song army was already quite tacit, and the Song army was not weaker than the Xia army in terms of siege.

In Qingping City, east of Qingshui City, Li Ke, the king of Changshan, led an army of 250,000 troops here; A Xia general reported to Li Keyu: "Lord Wang, the spies reported that the Song army has not captured Qingshui City. ”

"Haven't captured Qingshui City yet, what's going on?" Li Ke asked with a frown.

"According to the report of the spies, I don't know what method Lord Yang and General Yan Shu used to repair the walls of Qingshui City, and now the two armies are engaged in a fierce battle."

Li Ke frowned and said: "With the strength of the Song army, even if Qingshui City has complete city fortifications, it will not take so long, do you think there will be any conspiracy in this and it." ”

"What the prince means is that this is a set given to us by Zhao Yan, and we want to surround and send reinforcements."

"I don't rule it out."

"Then what are we going to do, sir?"

"Qing Shui can't help but save, where we not only put a large number of siege equipment, but also Qing Shui is the advance base of our army to the south, once Qing Shui is lost, it means that our Eastern Front offensive will end in failure, which will affect the progress of the entire northern war situation."

"Then how are we going to save it?"

Li Ke thought for a moment and told General Song his plan before ordering: "The herald army will attack tomorrow, and the siege of Qingshui must be relieved in the shortest possible time. ”

"Yes, the last general ...... order"

In the early morning of the next day, the army of 250,000 marched south in two torrents, but one was faster and the other was slower; In order to monitor the movements of the Xia army's cavalry, Zhao Yan sent a large number of scouts, and the Xia army was discovered by the Song army not long after they left the city.

"Lord Wang, look at the Song Army spies."

"Leave them alone, keep marching."

"Yes, the prince has an order to continue the march......"

Zhao Yan, who was attacking Qingshui City on the front line, suddenly received a report: "Report, report, report...... Lord Yu, the sentry cavalry reported that the reinforcements of the Xia army had arrived, but they divided into two routes, all the way south, all the way to Qingshui. ”

"Two ways to divide the soldiers? What do you mean? Zhao Yan thought for a while and said, "Then the map comes." ”

After looking at the map for a while, Zhao Yan said: "Could it be that the Xia army wants to encircle Wei to save Zhao, but why do they have to divide the troops into two ways?" ”

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Yan muttered, "Could it be...... It's whimsical......"

Then Zhao Yan ordered: "Order all departments to prepare for the defense of cavalry attacks, and order our army's 50,000 iron cavalry to be ready to gallop south at any time to rush south to help the battle." ”

"Yes, the last will understand......"

After General Song left, Zhao Yan sneered: "Li Kedon't waste your efforts, your plan has already been seen clearly." ”

In addition, the Xia army in the south of the iron cavalry, the strength is not much, only 50,000 fine cavalry, under the leadership of a Xia general went straight to the Guanshi, the Guanshi is the nearest road for Zhao Yu's northward army to the south of the Daimyo's mansion, once the Guanshi is lost, it means that Zhao Yu's 250,000 troops have been cut off from the back road and grain road, and the Song army will be intercepted by the Xia army if they want to evacuate; Li Ke's move was to force Zhao Yan to withdraw his troops and return to the Guan clan in order to achieve his goal of relieving the siege of Qingshui City.

However, Zhao Yan was not a fool, and only sent 50,000 cavalry under his command to the rescue, and the main force of the Song army was still besieging Qingshui City.
