Chapter 506

The owner of Maling Town is a battalion-level general, and after the arrival of Wang Dajian and others, he has been waiting very carefully in front of the saddle and behind the horse.

Wang Yang naturally did not embarrass these soldiers who guarded the border for the country, and inquired in detail about the population, merchants, and garrison of Maling Town, as well as the equipment and morale of the army, and personally went to take the roster to count the non-commissioned officers.

After being busy for half a day, I finished inspecting the smallest Maling Town, and after a good night's rest, I left Maling Town early the next morning and headed towards the next inspection site.

This kind of work can be said to be nothing new at all, and even a little boring. But Wang Yang didn't care at all, but was very happy.

Fangqu Village, Hedao Town, Mubobao, Shichang Town, Wulun Village, Suyuan Village, and Hongde Village continue to go north along Malingshui after crossing Huanzhou City.

Just eight walled forts, and it took ten days of hard work to come to the base camp of the old driver, which is the Hongdezhai where he is stationed all the year round.

At this time, Wang Yang didn't feel anything like this, but the little pony father-in-law had been tossed so that he was almost out of shape, and he looked sluggish.

Seeing the appearance of the pony father-in-law, the three of them have reached the point of adaptation, and the patrol is almost halfway through, and they should indeed rest for three or five days, and they should also be recuperated.

And this can accommodate 3,000 border troops to guard the Hongdezhai is worthy of being second only to the city of Huanzhou Prefecture Dazhai Fort, the people in the fort are more than 1,000 households, and there are hundreds of shops, inns have more than a dozen.

Now that the clouds of war are looming over Huanqing, the merchants here are still stranded here, although they are gloomy, and many inns are overcrowded. Upon inquiry, I found out that they had arrived from those smaller forts to Hongdezhai.

Compared with those walled forts with weaker defense and garrison strength, there are 3,000 border troops stationed there, and the strong-walled Hongdezhai can definitely make those people and merchants feel more at ease.

Wang Yang and the others went straight into the mansion of Nazhe Keshi in this Hongdezhai, and after eating and drinking beautifully, they found a guest room and slept upside down, and slept until the next day, Wang Yang opened his eyes and felt that he was finally resurrected with full blood.

Just after washing, Ma Shang, who was still yawning, was eating breakfast together, when he saw Na Zhe Keshi rushing over with a very angry face. "Two adults, something is wrong."

"Could it be that the Tangut people have done it?" Wang Yang craned his neck, poured the last mouthful of porridge into his mouth, and asked vaguely.

"Lord Wang, just look at this...... Perhaps, in another half an hour, you will be able to hear the ......" Zhi Keshi's face looked very ugly and handed Wang Yang an envelope that had been opened, and the three white feathers stuck to the outside of the envelope looked so eye-catching.

Wang Yang's face couldn't help but change, and after taking it, he took out the letter inside and glanced at it a few times, and couldn't help but snort.

Four days ago, the Tangut people had already started, and this time, the Tangut soldiers were divided into two routes, one was led by Liang Yiwei from Shentang Fort, and the 150,000 army did not adopt the tactics of attacking the city and pulling out the village.

Instead, with a large number of troops, they only cared about advancing all the way, but all the fortresses on the road they passed through were besieged with several times the number of troops.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, although the Song army had taken precautions in advance, they were caught off guard by this new tactic of the Western Xia, and could only watch the iron flow of the Western Xia rush past their walled fort, and there was no time to inform the rear.

"First of all, Shentang Fort, and then the main village of the Dingbian Army, Hengshan Village, and Tongsai Fort, from the jurisdiction of the Dingbian Army, directly into the hinterland of our Huanzhou. Now, the Papaya Fort, Whittingburg, and Ansai Zhai on the east side of Huanzhou are also surrounded by the Western Xia army that is several times larger, and Liang Yiqi's main force has reached the city of Huanzhou......"

"The bad news is not only this way, in addition, Xiaoliang Hou personally led an army of 100,000 people, crossed the Qinggang Gorge, came through Qingping Pass, and also adopted the same tactics as that Liang Yiqi, and now, the Anbian City, Guide Fort and Xingping City in front of my Hongdezhai have also been surrounded by the army behind Xiaoliang."

Wang Yang's face couldn't help but change. "How far is the army behind Xiaoliang from Hongdezhai now?"

Zhi Keshi smashed his mouth, his face was really not good, and he raised three fingers. "Almost a quarter of an hour ago, when Zhe was patrolling the wall, he received an alarm that the army behind Xiaoliang was less than thirty miles away from my Hongde Village."

“…… So, what do we do now? Do you want to run to Huanzhou now? Ma Shang's father-in-law's face instantly looked like an autumn red apple that had been brushed with lime powder, his mouth was a little trembling, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the placket of his clothes.

Without waiting for Na Zhi Keshi to speak, Wang Yang glared at this Ma Shang, who had no courage, and suddenly shouted. "Run? That Liang Yikui's army has already arrived in Huanzhou City, do you think Liang Yikui will get out of the way with a smile and respectfully see us enter Huanzhou? ”

After Ma Shang's face was pale and stunned, he seemed to grasp a life-saving straw. "Then, then why don't we ask Master Zhang, oh no, ask Master Su for help, and ask him to send troops to rescue Huanzhou as soon as possible."

"Well, that's a very good idea, very good, I'll discuss it with General Zhe, and then I'll send a messenger to find Master Su right away." Wang Yang was really troubled when he saw Ma Gonggong's posture of about to pee, but in order to appease this guy's emotions, he could only coax and persuade him.

"That's good, you must send someone to rescue early, don't be late...... Then let's go to the thatched house first. Marchand stood up and staggered towards the hut beside him.

Looking at this guy's back, Wang Yang rolled his eyes speechlessly, and after turning his head, he saw that Zhi Keshi looked embarrassed and stopped, Wang Yang nodded very understandingly. "I'm afraid I can't send someone to Gyeongju to ask for help now, right?"

"Yes, our back roads have been cut off, and sending people to rescue will only increase casualties." Seeing that Wang Yang was so understanding, Zhi Keshi hurriedly explained.

"It's okay, anyway, after Grandpa Ma comes back in a while, we will unify our voice, the rescue messengers have been dispatched, and they will all alert me a little bit." Wang Yang's gaze swept over the five Ouchi Imperial Front Banzhi, as well as his two followers.

"Otherwise, if anything happens to the pony father-in-law, you won't be able to eat and walk around."

Xu Zhao and the others looked at Wang Yang, and they could only nod stubbornly. "Don't worry, my lord, we won't leak half a sentence."

Only then did Wang Yang look at Zhe Keshidao again. "General Zhe, what do you need me to do now?"
