There was a wind blowing, accompanied by a little loess, which was extremely choking, Tang Tong frowned, and ordered: "Don't worry about these people, everyone get on the horse, since the group has divided the army, there are only three major ferries by the Yellow River, and there must be a branch of Maojindu." The Rong people are menacing this time, and they must want to cross the Yellow River, and the purpose of this forward cavalry should be to seize the ferry from the beginning......"

Lu Cheng bowed: "The last general will go to give the order."

Tang Tong nodded, his eyes looked to the north, and he estimated the speed of the follow-up troops in his heart, and after thinking about it, this time his five hundred horsemen might not be able to do much of it, and after the other party's five thousand troops were divided, it would inevitably not be less than one thousand five hundred. The Jingbian army has been fighting guerrilla in the border areas all the year round, and the cavalry of the Rong people has also collided, and the strength of the two sides is also weaker than them, even if it is the strongest border army today, equipped with the best equipment and the most rich combat experience, the Jingbian army does not dare to say that it can be one-on-one with the other side.

Of course, the most important thing is the war horse.

Tang Tong thought of this, and knew that he couldn't be too aggressive at this time, even if he had already reached the hinterland of the new dynasty, the other party's five thousand cavalry was still a force to be reckoned with, not to mention that there were at least three thousand infantry.

Of course, these 3,000 infantry must have been divided into several units at this time to attack and disperse the new Korean army.

And it means that the Jingbian Army still needs to face the 5,000 cavalry.

Tang Tong rubbed his eyebrows, now that the five thousand Jingbian troops had been divided into three units, thinking about whether to wait for everyone to gather before making arrangements, this idea was just a flash and waved out of his mind.

Tang Tong came down from the mound, got on his horse, looked for the direction of Ruicheng, and the group chased after Maojindu.

The whole north was soon in chaos, and all sides were strangled in, and most of the new Korean troops suffered heavy losses. In addition to Taiyuan, the New Dynasty army that resisted in the Zhending area was supplemented by a defense line built in advance, and after paying a heavy price, it was able to gain something. However, the Rong people probably realized that they were not good at attacking cities, and they all made a feint attack on the walled cities they encountered on the way south, so that after the new dynasty mobilized most of the army to defend the prefectures and cities, they also took advantage of the sluggishness of the new dynasty's information transmission, or surrounded the points to send reinforcements, or directly bypassed these assembled armies, and chose to cut in the weak points of defense.

Under this confusion, many generals were passive and slack, or orders could not be conveyed in time, resulting in chaos in the entire northern army, which caused the Rong people to pick up the leaks, and most of the troops were crippled in formation.

Half a month after the start of the war, at the end of April, a forward army of the Rongren East Road Army had already killed under the city of Xingzhou, and Gu Hongyi, the commander of the Xingzhou Anguo Army, although he had already made preparations in advance, could not help sweating on his forehead when he really faced it.

Xingzhou City can be said to be the last line of defense to the Daimyo's Mansion, Gu Hongyi certainly understands what impact the loss of Xingzhou will have on the entire battle situation, so he has discussed with Qin Ruihe, the governor of Xingzhou, many times.

In the Zhizhou Yamen, Gu Hongyi looked a lot thinner, and the fat on his face was shaking slightly, and in the lobby, the bigwigs of the entire Xingzhou gathered together, and each of them had a solemn face.

Zhizhou Qin Ruihe is thirty-five or sixteen years old, his face is slightly dark, his eyes are translucent, and he can't see any panic.

Gu Hongyi glanced at him and waited quietly for this person to speak. Qin Ruihe is not an ordinary person, as the son of Qin Bi, the secretary of the Ministry of Ancestors, after his father retired, his career was of course also affected, this champion of Tianqing for three years. After nearly ten years in the appointment of the magistrate, he basically decided that the magistrate of Taiyuan and Taiyuan came over, until the new emperor ascended the throne and Du Xian came up, and he was transferred to Xingzhou last year to serve as the magistrate, in fact, this is not a promotion at all, but from a geographical point of view, it can be regarded as a kind of protection.

Qin Ruihe looked at the officials present, the disappointment in his eyes flashed, and said: "Recently, I think you all understand, Xingzhou is the last barrier of the Daimyo's Mansion, after the Daimyo's Mansion, a hundred miles away and across the river from Kyoto, which means that the Rong cavalry can rush through in less than a day, and Kyoto is no longer protected."

Speaking of this, there was a humane in the hall: "Now that it is summer, the Yellow River is rising, and it is not easy for the Rong cavalry to cross the river!"

Qin Ruihe didn't say anything about this point of view, but nodded as well, and followed the previous topic: "For the army that infiltrated my hinterland before, there has been a letter from above to reprimand us and others, and this official must be removed from his post and questioned for this afterwards, and eighty percent of them will be exiled to the land of Baiyue......" Qin Ruihe paused, the reason why he said this was of course to remind these people here that if something went wrong again, then he would not be the one who was exiled.

Sure enough, everyone's faces changed, and they became sad.

Qin Ruihe got up, his voice hoarse: "The news of Jixian County has come back, Tang Zhixian has resisted eight thousand Rong people with two thousand soldiers for three days, if someone hadn't opened the door and let the Rong people in, it would not have been miserable...... "Qin Ruihe stopped again, "This official just wants to tell you, why can't we get the news in three days?" Why can't we give support? ”

His voice sank completely, as if he had been soaked in the Yellow River water in winter.

No one answered, and everyone knew it.

Qin Ruihe didn't say anything about it anymore, and said: "The Rong people are now besieging Xingzhou, which means that we will face the same situation as Tang Zhi County...... Therefore, ladies and gentlemen, the lives of the people of the city are in your hands and mine, how can we spare them......

After talking for a while, it didn't have any effect, Qin Ruihe was very disappointed, but he also knew that he couldn't help but say this.

At that moment, someone said: "In the past half a month, the Rong people have been around the city, and they have never made such a big move as today......

Qin Ruihe smiled: "Because this official is in Xingzhou."

Everyone understood that Qin Ruihe had been in the border area all along, and had made a lot of arrangements for the Rong people, and the two sides could be said to be incompatible.

Speaking of which, Qin Ruihe made arrangements for the city defense, everyone went to prepare, and Gu Hongyi stayed.

Qin Ruihe said straight to the point: "The Anguo army now has 8,000 people in the city, and we rely on the Xingzhou city wall, how long does the general think it will be able to support it?"

Gu Hongyi said: "The number of Rong people outside the city is between us and others, but the combat effectiveness of our army should understand that even if Xingzhou City is high, the last general will not dare to say big things."

Qin Ruihe nodded: "Half a month."

Gu Hongyi was suspicious.

Qin Ruihe repeated at the moment: "No matter what, we must hold out for half a month, and we won't have any support, and we may have to come from the Liangshan bandits from the northeast."

Gu Hongyi raised his eyebrows, "It's not easy......"

Thank you to everyone who deserves to be thanked!

In addition, there should be two more in the future, of course, the third is more likely to be late at night, let's count it as today.

Strive for a five-watch tomorrow!

Well, that's all!
