On the fifth day of the ninth month, the Xining Prefecture Governor's Office, a Tibetan and a Xixia man arrived.

These two men were envoys of the two countries, and they both questioned the Song people about their unauthorized attack on their country.

"Send it back!" Xin Zhen waved his hand expressionlessly, and the forbidden army stepped forward and pushed the two envoys out.

Question?

Reprimand?

Want to explain?!

Xin Zhen rubbed his brows, slowly looked at the western sky, his mind slowly deepened, he looked back at Master Xuyi, and asked, "Master, are there any scriptures in Buddhism that can make people's hearts feel good?" ”

"Yes, Jialanmo Camel Sutra."

"I'll listen to two paragraphs?" Xin Zhen smiled.

The Void One Master began to recite the scriptures in a serious manner.

And under the rendering of this scripture, Xin Xi only felt a little more irritable in his heart: "Stop, stop!" ”

Void a stop.

Xin Zhen shook his head and walked outside by himself, it was really too crucial for the Seed Master Dao and the others to do, as long as the result did not fully achieve what he wanted in his heart, he would not be able to calm down.

It's just that although the entire Western Army still retains 400,000 troops, these 400,000 troops are distributed along the border, and only 150,000 are left in Xining Prefecture.

These 150,000 can't move, not a single one of them can move, this is the minimum standard force to guard against the Tubo and Western Xia on the side of Renduoquan City.

Otherwise, even if the other party's grain route is cut off, if Xining Prefecture is defeated by Tubo and Western Xia, then the matter of cutting off the grain route is simply useless.

So!

Xia Zhi, take out your father's demeanor when he stood on Qinfeng Road.

Grow up as soon as possible, and grow up with the bearing that one person can defend a country in the next generation!

………………

On the eighth day of the ninth month, six days have passed since the occupation of Gahai.

If it is in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, today should be a crisp autumn day, and those scholars in the literary world will probably be extremely excited to start preparing for the upcoming Double Ninth Festival in early September.

As long as you get enough fame, when you get a jinshi, it will be much easier to become a real official or even rise, after all, this Great Song Dynasty, there are too many officials, even if you become a jinshi, it is not easy to get the real shortage and climb up.

But in the territory of Tibet, there is no literati who do not say it, and it is even more like a heavy snow that has fallen (this is the climate of 800 years ago. The vast snowfield was covered in snow, and a thick layer of snow had piled up on the roof of the stockade.

At this moment, there are soldiers clearing the snow on the roof, and if this snow is not treated, maybe the stockade will be crushed tonight, and there will be an endless stream of troubles.

The planter frowned, looking at the snow on the roof of the house, and his heart was somewhat reassured, but at the same time, there was more than worry.

He had already received the news from Zhou Zhao, so he also knew that he would not have the slightest reinforcement for the time being when he was faced with the 140,000 troops gathered by Tubo.

Fortunately, this snow ...... It should be possible to slow down the speed of the Tibetan side's troops, or directly choose not to send troops?!

However, the grain road was robbed, and the Tubo people, who were more adapted to the cold than the Song people, must not give up this opportunity to recapture the grain road, right?

Especially, it's winter!

If the grain route is completely cut off, the army fighting in front of me will only be starved to death and frozen to death.

Originally, in view of the complex tribal forms of Tibet, in fact, cutting off the Tubo grain route was the easiest and least troublesome to follow-up.

But the problem is that it is too easy for Tubo to take Renduoquan City, so that the current Tubo lord has already intervened in this war more than a month ago, and the lord of the country has intervened, and the rest of the big tribes have also sent their warriors, wanting to share the sweetness in Western Xia.

Because of this, the army in southern Tibet was ready to go north immediately after the grain road was robbed.

After the morning martial arts training moment, the planter Dao walked into the house with a slight sweat, while eating - nibbling on two steamed buns.

Wu Yao, who was facing the side, asked, "There's nothing on the vanguard side, right?" ”

"It's okay, the Tubo people are probably boasting, in my opinion, those guys will definitely not march in this snowy weather, maybe when they arrive, the commander has already ordered us to withdraw." Wu Yao was a little unimpressed.

After all, even the snow on the roof is almost half a foot thick, this is still the result of cleaning every day, think about it, the desert and grassland outside, the snow is afraid that there is not one two or three feet, marching on two or three feet of snow, can walk ten miles a day, Wu Yao has to admire the other party's marching speed.

"Don't slack off!" The seed master's tone was a little heavier, and he continued: "The granary in the valley has more than one million stones of grain and grass, and since the commander didn't let us burn it, it means that the commander doesn't want to participate in this war and do the trick of the snipe and the mussel competing for the benefit of the fisherman." ”

"That's right, second brother, since the commander doesn't plan to participate in the war, doesn't that mean that we won't have a hard time this time?" Wu Yao asked rhetorically.

Hearing this, the seed master shook his head, it was because he guessed that Shiyi Lang did not plan to participate in the war, so he had no bottom in his heart, that is, he would not participate in the war, but he wanted him to stick here.

In this way, they are the ones who are most likely to get into a bitter battle!

After shaking his head, the Seed Master Dao then asked, "How is the reinforcement of the city wall doing?" ”

Since it is a stubborn defense, coupled with the fact that he has five hundred divine arm crossbows and three bed crossbows in his hands, the plan of the Seed Master Dao from the beginning is to hold it out and through, anyway, what the Song people are best at is defending the city.

It's just that this Gahai is a rotten village, and with the previous pile of wooden fences, there is no such thing as guarding, especially in the face of 140,000 troops, and a small finger can poke the wooden fence apart.

Wu Yao's face was slightly ugly: "It was only built three feet high, and then, since the third year of junior high school, it has been a continuous heavy snowfall, and there is no way to continue to build, and even the soil can't be dug out......"

Is that so?!

The planter frowned tightly, then put down the steamed bun in his hand, and said loudly: "If there is no soil, then build a wall with snow!" In addition, snow is also convenient, and it only takes one night for the snow to turn into ice, which is as hard as stone! ”

"But what if the snow stops, the wall built by the snow will melt, right? Wouldn't that be a wasted effort?! Wu Yao asked suspiciously.

Seed Master Dao shook his head: "Three zhang in front of the city wall built before, build a snow wall to come out, and then, continue to dig and build the previous city wall!" ”

Wu Yao's eyes lit up slightly: "Why didn't I think of it?!" In this way, even if the Tibetan army arrives tomorrow, we can still have a city wall to defend, if the snow melts when the Tibetan army comes, then our earthen wall will probably be completed! ”

"Second brother, he is worthy of being a person who can sit in command, and he really has a better brain than me!" Wu Yao slapped a sycophant.

The planter smiled bitterly, he can also call his brain good? Thinking that he was in Bianjing back then, he was said by his master Xin Thirty-six to be a fool......

The 30,000-strong army was well organized, and 2,000 people were scattered as scouts, and 3,000 people were divided into three teams, as the vanguard army, patrolling within the scout's reconnaissance range, in case the other side also cleared out all the scouts silently as they had attacked the Ga(ga third sound) sea.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, it was very stable, and the ice and snow walls were all completed on this day, and the ice and snow city wall with a height of six zhang and a width of five zhang completely surrounded the entire small valley.

It's just that the snow is not hard enough at this time, so the bed crossbow is not transported up for the time being.

A peaceful day passed quickly, and there was no abnormal news coming back from the scouts.

Then, the scouts changed shifts, and another two thousand people went to scout at night.

Fire, monstrous fire!

Looking at the monstrous fire, the whole person of the planter Dao was stunned in place, and then a cool breeze blew, he turned around, and a scimitar with a flickering cold light looked towards his head.

The seed master turned over and got up, his face was a little pale, and he kicked it loudly, only to realize that it was a dream, but this dream seemed too ominous!

Slowly lit the candle, and a dark shadow suddenly appeared by the window.

"General, the Tubo army has arrived, almost half of the scouts have been attacked, and the vanguard army is fighting and retreating." The dark shadow spoke slowly.

The planter's brows tightened suddenly, and then he quickly took off the armor hanging on the wall, and shouted to the outside as he wore it: "Someone! ”

A soldier approached the door: "General! ”

"Drums, Soldiers!" The Seed Master roared angrily, he didn't doubt the words of the black shadow, because the black shadow was a member of the Shadow Guard waved by Eleven Lang.

After putting on the armor, the Seed Master Dao was slightly stunned, and he saw that the Shadow Guard was still standing by the window: "Aren't you leaving?" ”

The black shadow slowly took two steps towards the house, raised his right hand, and five black shadows appeared behind him out of thin air, and then, he said coldly: "The fifth squad of the third battalion of the third battalion of the Shadow Guard Army, according to the command order, if it is critical, it will come to assist the general in defending the city!" ”

Six people?

Assist in defending the city?!

Yes, the Seed Master Dao never doubted the strength of the Shadow Guards, because before this war, the only two Shadow Guards he had ever seen, Thirty-Six and Xin Yi, were the kind of people who could almost single-handedly overthrow the Five Hundred Forbidden Army.

But what's the use of only six people?!

Sighing slightly, the seed master nodded: "I'm not a shadow guard, I don't know how you fight, you can act when you see the opportunity!" ”

The Shadow Guard at the head nodded, and the six figures dissipated.

The six of them were actually very puzzled, wondering why the commander would let them assist in defending the city, after all, the role of the six people was not very great, especially, among the six of them, there was not a single top hundred innate realm, and the role was even less!

But, anyway, this is the order of the commander!

The planter strode out of the door, and in the valley, the 25,000 army had already gathered, and as for the other 5,000 people, they were still in the snowfield, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

As soon as the seed master Dao went out, Wu Yao greeted him: "Second brother, it's a big night, something happened?!" ”

"Someone from Tibet is coming!" The Seed Master Dao said indifferently and walked forward.

Wu Yao was stunned for a moment, marching in the snow, and arrived in one night?!

"Is the news reliable, no scouts came back to deliver the news!" Wu Yao was a little incredulous.

"The news from the Shadow Guard Army can't be fake!" As he spoke, the planter asked, 'Has the snow wall froze?' ’

"It's solidified, I went to see it at the end of the day, and it began to solidify at that time, and now it's almost ugly, so it must be solidified!"

"Good!" As he spoke, the seed master walked to the high platform, looked at the audience with a serious face, suddenly pulled out the blade of the sword, and shouted: "The Tubo people have come, and our task is to defend to the death, and not to give up an inch of land!" ”

"Don't give up an inch of land!"

"Don't give up an inch of land!"

I have to say that with Xin Xi's previous speech and foreshadowing, this sentence has become the speech that can mobilize the Western Army the most!

"Zhang Tao!" The planter roared.

"The last general!" Under the dimming of the lights, a bearded guy stood up and knelt down on one knee.

"Bed crossbow, transport to the snow wall!"

"The first army, garrisoned in the upper city, the second army, transporting the rolling stones in the valley to the city wall, the third army to the tenth army, standing under the city wall!" After the planting master gave the order, he didn't have too many speeches in front of him, and directly pointed the long sword in his hand at the sky, shouting: "Don't let an inch of land!" ”

"Don't give up an inch of land!"

"Don't give up an inch of land!"

Under the chanting, the First Army began to follow the Seed Master Dao and the others, walking towards the city wall.

An army of 2,500 people, this is the military system re-established by the division after arriving in Gahai, the strength of 2,500 people, just enough to completely cover the wall of Gahai, was originally divided into 12 armies, but now there are two armies of 5,000 people, and they do not know life and death outside the city.

Perhaps, there is no need to prepare for scouts in the first place, just leave the work of scouts to the Shadow Guards.

In that case, it will not be possible to lose 5,000 men before the war starts!

Shaking his head, the Seed Master Dao looked at the outside of the city wall with a serious face, and under the silver-white light reflected by the snow, a black shadow with no edge could be seen, rushing over at an extremely fast speed.

The war has begun!

Siege of the city, for the ancients, is always a problem, for the more backward civilization of Tibet, this problem will be even more difficult, just like the math finale problem that the top students feel is a headache, handed over to a scumbag to do.

The three bowstrings of the bed crossbow were tightened, and then let go, and three arrows two feet long shot out, with huge acceleration force, instantly piercing the first Tubo soldier who was hit by it, and then, with a huge inertial force, pierced through the crowd, like a gourd, and when the arrows stopped, twelve Tubo soldiers were penetrated, and then nailed to the ground, and on the gourd string, there were so many people, not dead, let out that miserable howl!

The Tibetans visibly hesitated for a moment, and then the army pressed up.

After all, there were only three bed crossbows, so it was impossible to stop the Tibetans from three hundred paces.

As the Tibetan army approached, the rolling stones slid down from the six-zhang high city wall.

The city wall made of ice and snow is indeed convenient, but its shortcomings are gradually exposed, and the other side is that the wall is a positive ladder, that is, its wall is not vertical, but has a certain slope, so that there is no need for a ladder at all.

The Tibetans only need to plunge two scimitars into the ice wall to climb up!

"Order, the Third Army and the Fourth Army will also carry the rolling stones to Lao Tzu, and the Fifth Army to the Tenth Army will immediately step up the mining of rolling stones!" The planter immediately ordered.

Because of the drawbacks of this ice and snow city wall, if a section of rolling stones is not enough, it will not be difficult for the other party to attack the city wall!

After all, this is an army of 140,000!
