"Scholar! Let's hurry up and report to Jiehe and let Wu Xuanshuai send us reinforcements! ”

"But on the other side of the boundary river, the Khitan Emperor is here! And the soldiers of Wu Haogu are still training! ”

"Training, how can this work? University scholars, you should join the martial arts good ancient book! ”

"Dingzhou Road is flat and not very dangerous, and it will definitely become a place for the Khitan to enter the country. Scholars, we must strengthen our defenses! ”

"Now in a hurry, if you want soldiers without soldiers, if you want weapons without weapons, how can you defend? Manager Feng, how are the four generals of our Dingzhou Road sorted out now? Can you pull it out and fight the Khitans? ”

"Fight a fart, those four generals don't know if there are 10,000 soldiers? Half of them are still elderly, and most of them are still preparing for the transfer of the embassy, and they don't know when they will be able to send us the new armor equipment? ”

"If you want soldiers without soldiers, if you want weapons without weapons, what do you want us to fight with the Khitans!"

In Liang Zimei's public hall, at this time, there was also a chaotic noise among the subordinates of the staff. After the military report from the general army engine room of the Xuanfu Division in Hebei came, the emergency documents from all over Dingzhou Road rushed like snowflakes towards this 64-year-old man.

When there was no war, everything looked fine, but once the war was approaching, it was found that all along the border of Hebei, except along the boundary river, were full of holes. The castles and fortresses along the route are all in disrepair, barely collapsed, and the defensive equipment is also decayed and useless, almost antique. The new army of the forbidden army is not ready for war, and the so-called new army of four generals is just the original old forbidden army with a new brand, what combat effectiveness can it have? Weapons and equipment are also in short supply, Ji Yi has just begun to rectify and merge the capitals and institutes in various parts of Hebei, and it will not be effective at all in a few months. The armory room of the Xuanfu Division was busy training and producing weapons for the six generals and the Cangzhou regiment directly under the Xuanfu Command, and he couldn't take care of the Dingzhou Army at all.

The bricks and plaster used to build the city wall were transported to the city of Dingzhou through the Yishui and Tang rivers. However, the people who built the city have not yet been recruited, and it is not known when the construction of the additional city wall will begin.

Liang Zimei clenched her fists and sat down on top of her chair. Listening to the noisy noise of the general civil officials and military generals, they were helpless one by one, and they only knew how to shake the pot, and they were so dizzy that they were about to fall.

The national defense of Hebei is completely different from Shaanxi, which is fighting all day long, and there is no awareness of this from top to bottom. Oh, that is, Cangzhou, Qingzhou, Bazhou, and Hejian Mansion, which are full of knights, are slightly better. Other places are rotten to the roots, and they still look a little bit when they are at peace with Liao. Once the Liao people came over, they knew that Hebei's defense was completely paper-paste!

What's even worse is that among the four roads along the border of Hebei, the weakest defense is Dingzhou Road!

The coastal road is basically safe because of the danger of Cangzhou knights, sea fleets and boundary rivers.

Gaoyangguan Road has three rivers that can be relied on: Juma River, Yishui River and Hutuo River. For the Liao people who do not have a naval army, before the ice season, it is a moat that is difficult to cross - although the inland river fleet of the Hailu City Shipping System and Construction Division is not strong, but there is a difference between it and the Liao people!

The territory under the jurisdiction of Zhendingfu Road is the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, and Zhendingfu City is a solid and abnormal stone city. In addition to piling up corpses layer by layer, the Liao people had no other way to break through Zhending City.

Moreover, Xiangzhou also belongs to the jurisdiction of Zhendingfu Road, and Han Xiaoxuan, who is a virtuous grandson in the township, stood up with the support of Han Zhongyan, who was seriously ill, and organized a group practice in Xiangzhou!

That's really a shout, Wanfu Jingcong!

But in Xiangzhou, tens of thousands of heroes have been assembled. And also got the support of the official family, Han Xiaoxuan not only became the ambassador of Zhendingfu Road regimental training, but also got a batch of weapons from the weapons supervisor, and Ji Yi also mobilized a lot of weapons from the treasury of Hebei Road Capital Courtyard to Han Xiaoxuan.

Therefore, the defense of Zhendingfu Road is not too weak. Now the only soft persimmon is Dingzhou Road!

The voices below are still chaotic, and there is a tendency to get bigger and bigger. Liang Zimei was anxious and angry, her forehead was bruised, and finally she couldn't help yelling: "Don't make any noise!" ”

The sound was so loud that everyone in the room was startled. Liang Zimei is a noble for many generations, and she has long developed a graceful demeanor, such a loud roar is really something that everyone has never encountered. Suddenly everyone was silent.

Liang Zimei turned her attention to Feng Yan, the governor of the capital, who was a descendant of Feng Jiye, the founder of the Great Song Dynasty. The ancestral generals have been leading soldiers in the forbidden army for generations. It was passed on to his generation, because he was tall, his face was mighty, and he practiced good martial arts, and he was favored by Emperor Shenzong, so he soared and soared, and he was mixed to a high position in charge all the way.

"Shuaisi, it is unlikely that the Khitans will enter from the mountain roads in the north, and most of them will enter from Baozhou......"

The north of Dingzhou is also the remnant vein of Taihang Mountain, and there are fortresses such as Huatazipu, Catch Horse, Yutaikoupu, Anyangkoupu and Beipingzhai to guard the danger.

Although these forts are in disrepair, there are not many defenders. But after all, the terrain was precipitous, which was not suitable for the Khitan cavalry movement.

Therefore, Feng Yan judged that the Liao soldiers would enter the army from Baozhou, east of Dingzhou.

"It is better to place the soldiers and horses of the three generals in Dingzhou, Baozhou, Guangxin Army and Ansu Army respectively." Feng Yan frowned and said, "In addition, we have to divide several battalions from the soldiers and horses stationed in Dingzhou to guard Huatazipu, Catch Horse, Yutaikoupu, Anyangkoupu and Beipingzhai. ”

Liang Zimei said in a low voice: "Isn't Dingzhou out of soldiers?" ”

Feng Yan smiled bitterly: "You can't give up Baozhou, Guangxin Army and Ansu Army, right?" Scholars can report to the Xuanfu Division, if the Xuanfu Division does not save it, the responsibility for losing the land is Wu Haogu...... But if the Baozhou, Guangxin and Ansu armies abandon the defense, then it will be ......"

But you can't shake the pot!

The pacification envoy is a handsome man all the way, and it is his responsibility to defend the land! You may not be able to hold it, but you have to keep it, right? Dingzhou, Baozhou, Guangxin Army and Ansu Army will not talk about the four fields and eight townships, the state army and the city must always be defended, right? If one state and two armies were given up at one time, then Liang Zimei would not die as a civilian official, and Feng Yan, the head of a military attaché, would definitely move. Although Liang Zimei will not die, but the punishment is certain, most of them will chase the words since they were born, and Haizhou will be in charge!

If Liang Zimei and Feng Yan can guard a little, they must at least buy a rescue time for the Hebei Xuanfu Division. In this way, they can throw the charge of losing their land to Wu Haogu...... If you want to cut off your braincase, you will also cut off your martial arts!

"There are too many soldiers in Huatazi Shop, Catch Horse Mouth Shop, Yutai Kou Shop, Anyang Kou Shop and Beiping Village each have a battalion!" Liang Zimei said, "It's enough to put up a team." ”

"A team?" Feng Yan hesitated, "That's a team!" ”

The four generals of Dingzhou Road can not compare the number of generals directly under the jurisdiction of Wu Haogu, although the generals directly under the jurisdiction of Wu Haogu are full of new soldiers, but the establishment is very sufficient. There are 5,000 soldiers in an infantry army alone, and the four generals in Dingzhou Road, even if they go through a round of replenishment under the pressure of the Liao soldiers going south, it would be good for each general to have an average of 2,500 soldiers.

In other words, a battalion of the Dingzhou New Army had only more than 200 soldiers, and a team numbered more than 60 people. Relying on more than 60 people, how can it be possible to hold a pass?

However, Feng Yan didn't dare to go against Liang Zimei's meaning, and in the north of Dingzhou, let it be fate.

"Manager Feng," Liang Zimei calmed down, "you personally go to guard the Suicheng of the Guangxin Army...... As soon as the Liao soldiers appeared, they immediately reported to the Xuanfu Division! ”

……

The emergency document on Dingzhou Road and the tens of thousands of troops led by Yelu Yanxi appeared in front of Wu Haogu almost at the same time!

On June 18 of the third year of the Great Song Dynasty, on the horizon north of the north of the north of Jiehe Shang City, a black banner finally appeared, bordered by flame patterns on a black background, and a big flying eagle was embroidered on it. At the same time there were seven or eight large flags, hunting and curling, and then a piece of pheasant feathers on a jumping helmet. In the end, I saw the cavalry armor soldiers who could not see the edge, along the open official road, coming mightily.

The Khitan cavalry at the forefront were all grown men, neatly dressed and armored. The armor is all black, which is a completely different style from the sparkle of the squirrel. But the countless black-armored knights gathered together, rushing forward, still giving people an unprecedented pressure.

The cavalry of Da Liao still looks quite powerful! As for how good it is, it's not very clear.

Wu Haogu stood on the Beikai Tower in Jiehe Hebei City, just looking at it expressionlessly. On either side of him, stood more than a dozen henchmen generals. Brother Zhao Zhong and Ma Zheng were each holding a telescope to watch, and after looking at it for a while, Brother Zhao Zhong said in a low voice: "Xuan Shuai, these knights are all half-armored, and the horses are not equipped, and they are riding two horses, it seems that they are ready to retreat at any time." ”

"Do you want the cavalry to attack?" Ma Zhengdao, "Maybe you can repel the more than 10,000 Khitan cavalry in front of you...... There must be hundreds of heads. ”

"They won't go head-to-head with us, probably to test it." Brother Zhao Zhong shook his head lightly, "The Khitans have long since lost their former bravery...... Maybe before we finish our formation, they will retreat to Majiabao. ”

Majiapu is the industry of Ma Zhi. Now Ma Zhi has gone to the Tokyo Road of the Liao Kingdom to be an official, and Majiabao is vacant there. Yesterday afternoon, it was occupied by the vanguard of the Khitan army and became the imperial tent of Yelu Yanxi.

"We have to test it," Ma Zheng said, "if they really retreat, we will win." On the one hand, you can report to Kaifeng Mansion, and on the other hand, you can also stabilize the hearts of the people in Jiehe Commercial City. ”

"I'm afraid that our 6,000 cavalry will fight smoothly and crush the more than 10,000 Khitan cavalry, how will it end then?" Brother Zhao Zhong finally told the truth, he was worried that his 6,000 iron cavalry was too fierce, and Yelu Yanxi's cavalry couldn't bear it.

In this way, if the war is not done well, it will be over, and what will be done about the arms trade?

"Zhongfu," Wu Haogu said to Ma Zheng, "you lead the troops to attack, grasp the proportions, and bring the Khitan cavalry back to Majiabao." ”
