Chapter 675: Falling

Ansai Fort belongs to the Suide Army, is the junction of the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia Army, and later after Li Jing occupied the entire Guanzhong, Ansai Fort was not removed, it still belongs to the jurisdiction of the Suide Army, the commander of the Suide Army is not someone else, but Hu Cheng, this Li Jing's brother-in-law, was stuffed by Li Jing to the Suide Army, and became Li Qiao's subordinate.

However, because the Suide Army has just undergone changes, although it was a part of the Western Army before, the Western Army's more than ten years of war have long dragged down the Western Army, and after Hu Cheng became the commander of the Suide Army, it could only barely support the Suide Army, maintain the training of the Suide Army, and slowly recover its strength. Simply enough, after Li Jing defeated Li Qianshun, the situation in Guanzhong and Western Xia was also alleviated, although the strength of the Suide army was relatively weak, but the border was peaceful, which gave the Suide army a chance to develop.

In the early morning, the city gate of Fort Ansai slowly opened, and the garrison of Fort Andelberg was only a brigade of fifty people, with a team of five people, including the team leader and the detainees, and the leader of the team was a middle-aged soldier named Kong Jian. He went up to the city wall, looked at the vast border in the distance, and after looking at it for a while, he saw that there was no change, so he put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand with confidence.

"Hehe, the king is brave, the Western Xia people who fought did not dare to go east, even the old emperor died, the current emperor is just a child, hairless on his mouth, even his mother has become the king's concubine, what else can he do? Brother Kong, do you think the Western Xia people will come to attack at this time? There was a burst of laughter behind him, but when he saw the detainee Liu Zhihao coming over, he said indifferently.

"Who knows if Xixia has other thoughts, Brother Liu, I don't know if you have noticed that there seems to be a lot less business travel along the way these days." Kong Jian said with some worry: "Normally, although our Ansai Fort is not a traffic artery, it is also one of the roads into Guanzhong and Western Xia, and there are many merchants passing through here every day, but now there are few business travelers passing here, obviously something is wrong!" ”

After Liu Zhihao heard this, the smile on his face couldn't help but put away, business travel can sometimes represent something, business travel is reduced, either there are thieves along the way, or there are more convenient roads to walk, but he knows that there are almost few thieves in Guanzhong, and there is no more convenient road to walk near Fort Ansai.

In this case, I am afraid that there is only one possibility, there is a problem in the territory of Western Xia, Liu Zhihao took a deep breath and said: "Maybe it is because the little emperor of Western Xia is not good, so there are many thieves in the territory, and it also affects the business travel on our side." ”

Kong Jian looked at the wolf smoke on the side, was silent for a moment, and said, "I hope so!" If not, then it can only be loyal to the king. "In the place of Ansaiburg, although it is easy to get promoted, there are also many dangers to face. Once the enemy attacks, the first thing to deal with is a front-line fortress like Fort Anse.

"No matter what, we must be careful, even if it is impossible to happen, we must do so, and if it is really the Tanguts who want to attack us, we must notify the king immediately." Liu Zhihao also said with some worry. Although Ansai Fort is relatively strong, it is only fifty people in the end, plus the old and weak women and children in the fort, the total is only more than 100 people, and in the face of the attack of the Tanguts, these people can't fill in the gaps.

"The old and weak in the fort must be taken away immediately, once the enemy attacks, we will die, but the old and weak in the fort cannot die, these are our hopes." Kong Jian turned to look at Ansai Fort, which was only about 300 steps before and after, and all kinds of supporting facilities were complete, and even fertile land was opened up outside the fort to supply the population in the fort.

From time to time, I saw the old man in the fort washing clothes, and the boy playing with each other. You can even see your mother-in-law, weaving cloth in the open space. Originally, it was a peaceful scene, but once the Tangut people came, these would disappear without a trace, and blood would spread all over the land of Guanzhong.

"Yes." Liu Zhihao also knew that the matter was a bit urgent, he was not afraid of 10,000, he was afraid of what happened, in case the enemy attacked, he and others would die in battle, but his heirs could not die here, at least he had to leave a trace of blood for himself.

When Kong Jian was staying and ordering the old and weak to retreat, suddenly the earth shook, and smoke and dust rushed up in the distance, Kong Jian seemed to think of something, his face was pale, and Liu Zhihao glanced at each other.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack." A burst of terrible sounds sounded, instantly spread throughout the entire Ansai Fort, Ansai Fort after a period of calm, let out a burst of screams, the old and weak have hid in the room, more than 40 border soldiers have taken weapons on the city wall, the wolf smoke on the city wall battlements has been ignited, the dark wolf smoke straight up to the sky, a few miles away, there is a wolf smoke rising, this is a few miles away from the beacon tower saw the wolf smoke of Ansai Fort, quickly sent a message to the beacon tower in the distance, and instantly the beacon towers in the northwest of Guanzhong were lit at once.

"Damn the Han people, light the beacon, hurry, rush up and kill them." A burst of shouts and killings came into Kong Jian's ears, Kong Jian's face was pale, and the dense Western Xia army rushed over, countless bows and arrows fell, and instantly enveloped Ansai Fort, bursts of screams came, Kong Jian no longer knew what to do, he could only hold the shield in his hand and command the remnants to resist, but how long could fifty people resist.

In just half an hour, Fort Ansai fell, and all 158 people in the fort were killed, and blood flowed profusely. After Ansaibao, in the northwest of Guanzhong, three forts were trapped in a row, killing and wounding nearly 1,000 people. The land of Guanzhong is full of smoke.

The battle of Anderburg was only half an hour, but it opened the first battle of the first year of Jingkang, and later historians believed that the battle of Anderburg was of great significance, which opened the prelude to Li Jing's domination of the world.

Li Jing was woken up in a dream, and heard that Li Fu and Gongsun Sheng entered the palace overnight, and immediately knew that something big had happened, otherwise, the two would not have entered the palace at this time. At this time, Li Fu and Gongsun Sheng came together, which shows that the matter has reached a critical juncture.

"Quick, pass in." Li Jing lifted the brocade quilt, and Zhu Lian on the side also knew that the matter was urgent, and he didn't care about leaking *** to help Li Jing put on the brocade robe.

"Your Majesty, three days ago, the Western Xia army raided Ansai Fort, Ansai Fort, White Wolf Fort, and Qing Castle all fell in just one day, and nearly 1,000 soldiers and civilians were killed and wounded." Li Fugong and Sun Sheng's faces were full of anger.

"What?" Li Jing's face was stunned, and he was suddenly furious.
