Chapter 807

Liang Shou was not only in a hurry, but also stood up and said loudly. "Liang should be allowed to go, Liang has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, hundreds of lives of Liang's clan are just right to use Xingqing Cang to pay tribute to their souls......"

Li Mao looked at Liang Shou in front of him and shook his head with a smile. "General Liang, if it weren't for Li Mou's trust, Li has been in the army for more than ten years, and his experience in leading troops is far richer than yours.

In the early years, before entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, he had been grazing for the famous family near Xingqing Mansion as a herdsman, and he had a better understanding of the terrain and landforms around Xingqing Mansion......"

The dispute between the two also attracted the attention of the generals.

Zhi Keshi narrowed his eyes, looked at the two of them, and slowly walked in the field with hesitation. "Wait until I think about ......"

"My lord, the soldiers are very fast, if we hesitate, it is very likely that we will lose this great opportunity." Li Mao took another step forward and said.

Zhi Keshi's gaze swept over everyone present, and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. "In this way, Li Mao is the main general, Luo Ping is the deputy, Zhe will pull out 2,000 horses for you, and another 4,000 horses for you, and give you all the fire oil that can be collected."

Li Mao and Luo Ping's two generals couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately accepted the order. And the rest of the generals were all disappointed, even more so than Liang Shou.

"Liang Shou!" At this time, Zhi Keshi named Liang Shou again, which made Liang Shou stunned. "General, the last general."

"Aren't you going north to take the ferry in northern Huaizhou? After taking the ferry, Li Mao and Luo Ping will continue to march towards the Imperial Tomb, and your task is to watch their back and wait for them to retreat to the ferry. Zhi Keshi's big hand fell heavily on Liang Shou's shoulder.

"The last will obey! The last general will not fall into the hands of the Xia army. Although he was not able to participate in the burning of Xingqing Cang, Liang Shou also understood that the heavy responsibility of guarding the ferry and ships for Li Mao and others would not be easy.

After all, once the Song army appeared in the hinterland of Xingqing Mansion, no matter how confused the Western Xia people were, after reacting, they would definitely try to control the many ferries around them as soon as possible, so that they could encircle and annihilate those Song troops who appeared in the hinterland.

"From here to Huaizhou North, it takes one day, cross the river and count you for another day, and then go east to force the imperial tomb, and then rush to Xingqingcang, only give you one day, the fourth day, the fourth day and night at the latest, whether it is successful or not, you must rush to the ferry in the north of Huaizhou, and withdraw to the east bank of the river.

And Zhe will lead a large army to the east bank of the river to meet you, can you do it and return on time, if you can't, then you don't have to go. Zhi Keshi turned his head and asked Li Mao and Luo Ping.

"Zhe needs not only victory, but also needs to see you bring back the warriors of my Great Song Dynasty."

"The last general will definitely live up to the general's trust!" Li Mao and Luo Ping glanced at each other and said loudly.

"I must come back, I must come back with my sons." Zhi Keshi turned around and wanted to leave, thought about it, walked to the two of them again, and then slammed deeply towards the two.

"General ......" The two people who were deeply shocked looked at the figure of Zhe Keshi and did not say anything for a long time.

Half an hour later, Li Mao, Luo Ping, and Liang Shou led 3,000 elite horsemen, as well as 4,000 horses carrying grain, firewood, dry firewood, and other fire-starting materials, and galloped away from Wangbei.

And Zhi Keshi led the remaining 7,000 elite cavalry, as well as the 6,000 horses collected, and marched towards Lingzhou with great fanfare.

In the afternoon, on Lingzhou City, a rapid horn sounded, and countless party shepherds cried and drove their cattle and sheep, and were struggling to rush to Lingzhou City.

Bands of scouts were sent out from the city and scattered within a radius of ten miles from Lingzhou. Vigilantly watching the anomalies around him.

At this moment, the remaining deputy commander Ye Lixiong stood on the east gate of Lingzhou City with a pale face, and his ears were filled with the cries and noises of the party and people under the city, as well as the neighing of those cattle and sheep.

"It's been half an hour, and you haven't heard back yet?" Notoshi patted the female wall in front of him, his expression gloomy and his eyes were anxious.

"Not yet, since the scout cavalry we sent out has not sent back news, I think the Song army should still be far away. It's just my lord, should we open the other three gates and let these people into the city, just one east gate, the speed is too slow......"

"If the four gates are opened, in case the cavalry of the Song army comes and enters the city by taking advantage of the chaos, who will bear this responsibility?" Notoshi turned his head angrily and glared at the generals who had spoken, and shouted.

"Only open one city gate, slow down, in case the Song cavalry really comes, it can be blocked......" As he spoke, Ye Lixiong's eyes fell to the side, where a large number of stones were already piled up.

Once the cavalry of the Song army appeared in sight, and these civilians had not yet entered the city, then they could only take strong measures.

Besides, these small tribes are not Yeli's, compared to Lingzhou, how much value can these people stranded outside the city have.

For Great Xia, the most valuable thing is a city like Lingzhou, there are at least 50,000 people from the Yeli clan in the city, most of them are women, children, old and weak, and now, most of the troops of the Xiangqing Military Division have been taken away by Renduo Zongbao.

Only less than 6,000 soldiers were left to guard this huge city, and in such a situation, as the high-ranking of the Yeli clan, Yelixiong naturally knew how to make trade-offs.

But fortunately, when the last party people who fled to Lingzhou for refuge also entered Lingzhou City, the Song army was belated.

Looking at the tumbling smoke and dust, as well as the dense hoofs like rolling thunder, and the battle flags of the Song Army that were unfurled, Ye Lixiong's sweat came down.

This is at least 20,000 Song troops, okay? If it's just ten thousand horses, how can there be such a momentum? It's just that when the Song army approached Lingzhou City, the sky was already dark.

Ye Lixiong, who was nervously waiting on the city, kept staring at the outside of the city, and above the city, not only the more than 5,000 soldiers who were left behind, but also a large number of young people were forced to stand on the top of the city, holding spears and bows and arrows in their hands, and their faces were pale looking at the fire that lit up almost half of the night sky outside Lingzhou City.

"Has the emergency military report been spread?" Notoshio's legs were a little weak, and he sat down with the support of the two personal soldiers, rubbed his numb legs, and asked the general under his command.

"Don't worry, my lord, it has been spread, it's just that this is almost three hundred miles away from Yanzhou, Zhongshu Ling received the news, and then led the troops back to the division, I'm afraid it will take at least five or six days, if there is a slight delay......"

"Then send a messenger for help to Xingqing Mansion, Lingzhou is the gateway to the hinterland of Xingqing Mansion, if Lingzhou is lost, what can the entire Xiangqing Military Division have left?!"

Notoshio thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth, and gave a new order. "Isn't the old general Wei Ming about to lead the army out of Xingqing Mansion and looking for this Song army? That's better, if the old general leads the army to the same, and we cooperate with him to cooperate with the outside, this Song army should be like a chicken and a dog. ”

"But before that, those who dare to say that they want to go out of the city to meet the enemy, behead!"
