Shule Town, the town guards the embassy.

Fu Meng Lingjing was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, and the official Wang Tao hurriedly walked over and said loudly: "General, my subordinates have an urgent report!" ”

Fu Meng Lingjing stopped, took a towel from the guard next to him, wiped his sweat, and said to Wang Tao: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Wang Tao saluted and said: "General, in the past two days, there have been no caravans from the direction of Tuoyunbao, and the caravans who have gone west from Shule Town have returned one after another, and their subordinates have immediately inquired after learning of this situation, and the caravans said that the mountain road to Tuoyunbao has been dug up, and the carriages and horses cannot pass, so they can only return and wait for the mountain road to be filled in before leaving!" ”

Fu Meng Lingjing was such a shrewd person, his face changed, and he said, "You mean to say that Toyun Fort is under attack, and someone has deliberately dug up the road?" ”

"Quite possibly! As far as I know, Panzhu Junxiu has been taking her more than 100 female cavalry to Tuoyun Fort for three days, and she still hasn't turned back until now, if it wasn't for the attack on Toyun Fort, how could there be no caravans coming from the west in the past few days? If in the past, the business travelers from the west were endless, but no one came in the past two days, and the business travelers who went to Tuoyun Fort also returned halfway, the only explanation was that Tuoyun Fort was attacked, Xi Yunqing may have sent a messenger to ask for help, but he may have been intercepted and killed halfway, and the thieves also dug up the mountain road, wanting to prevent the business travelers and our army from going to Tuoyun Fort! ”

After listening to Wang Tao's analysis, Fu Menglingjing's face kept changing, and after a while, he immediately decided: "Spread thousands of miles over!" ”

Wang Tao reminded: "General, General Cheng has been sent by you to the Dadu Protectorate to receive military funds!" ”

Fu Meng Lingjing then remembered that Cheng Qianli had been sent to Qiuzi Town, and he immediately said: "Wang Tao, immediately go to the drum to gather the soldiers and gather in the school field, quickly!" ”

"No!"

After a while, the whole Shule town could hear the sound of drums in the school field, whether it was the soldiers on leave outside, or the soldiers who were training in the camp all quickly rushed to the school field in full gear, Bi Sichen, Kang Huaishun, Chen Fengzhong and others also rushed to the school field, and not long after Fumeng Lingjing rode a horse, a middle-aged man wearing a eunuch costume also hurried over.

The middle-aged eunuch saluted to her husband Meng Lingjing and said, "General, our family is late, forgive your sins, forgive your sins!" ”

Fu Meng Lingjing was expressionless and waved his hand: "It's not too late, Bian Zhong, all kinds of signs show that Tuoyun Fort is being attacked, Tuoyun Fort has less than five hundred soldiers and horses, and the city wall is not high, once a large number of enemy troops attack, it will not last long, and now there are only a few generals who can fight in Shule Town, but this general is really relieved not to go down to Tuoyun Fort, so this general decided to personally take a thousand light cavalry to rush to the aid of Tuoyun Fort, here will be handed over to the envoy, after the general leads the troops to leave, the envoy immediately closed the city gate and sent people to martial law in the city, forbid anyone to walk around! ”

The envoy is called Bian Lingcheng, he is the supervisor of Fumeng Lingcha, the envoy is the eunuch supervisor sent by the imperial court, and has no actual military power, but only supervises the generals of the local important towns on behalf of the emperor, preventing the leading generals from supporting the army and disobeying the military and political orders of the imperial court, but the supervising army has the right to play to the emperor in private, and every move of the leading generals will be reported to the emperor by the supervising army, so none of the generals likes these eunuchs.

Bian Lingcheng thought that Fumeng Lingcha wanted him to lead troops to reinforce Tuoyun Fort, but after hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and he hurriedly said: "General, please rest assured, our family will definitely do what the general orders!" ”

After some explanation, Fumeng Lingcha took a thousand light horsemen from the town guard mansion and carried a large amount of wood to Toyun Castle. Carrying only a thousand people is carefully considered, bringing too many people will affect the speed of the march, bringing too little will not play a role, Tuoyun Fort said that it is not big, it is not small, and a thousand people in the past are enough to fill Toyun Fort.

In half a day, Fu Meng Lingjing led the troops to the broken mountain road, he walked to the edge of the broken road to see, was dug up to be two zhang deep, five zhang long, at this time the opposite side of a horse hooves came over, he looked up, not Panzhu Junxiu who is?

Panzhu Junxiu also saw Fu Meng Lingjing and a thousand men and horses, and she immediately shouted: "General, Tuoyun Fort is being attacked by the army of Turgish!" ”

Fu Meng Lingjing immediately arranged for the soldiers to build a bridge with wood, and talked to Panzhu Junxiu, and soon understood the current situation of Toyun Fort, and he was even more anxious in his heart, he must rush to Tuoyun Fort within a day, that is, before dawn tomorrow, the Turks will definitely launch another onslaught.

Fortunately, Zhao Ziliang led people to raid the Turgish camp, killed all the sheep and a large number of cattle, drove all the remaining cattle away, and burned down the camp, which made the overall morale of the Turgish army low, and the Turgish people were not able to organize another attack in the afternoon.

In the middle of the night, Fumeng Lingjing finally arrived at Tuoyun Fort with a thousand troops, which made Zhao Ziliang and others breathe a sigh of relief, and he ordered the southeast city gate to be opened and Fumeng Lingjing and a thousand troops were introduced into the fort.

Zhao Ziliang and others greeted them at the gate of the fort, "General, you are finally here!" ”

Fu Meng Lingjing nodded and asked, "What about Xi Yunqing?" ”

"Lord Xibao is seriously injured, although he is awake, he can't get out of bed and is resting!"

"Let's go, go over and have a look!"

While walking towards the castle, Fu Meng Lingjing asked: "When I came on the way, I met Panzhu Junxiu, and I heard her say some information, but it is not very detailed, you can tell General Ben again!" ”

"No!"

After Zhao Ziliang's introduction, Fu Meng Lingjing also understood the current situation, and he said: "In this way, the Turgish people can only eat those killed cattle and sheep next, they can't last a few days, they will bring a thousand people, enough to last until they retreat!" Is there enough ordnance in the fort? ”

"We had some stocked up before, so it should be enough! Previously, the main reason was that the troops were insufficient, and the other side launched a fierce attack, so we almost couldn't resist it! ”

Fu Meng Lingjing said: "I have heard Panzhu Junxiu say, you have fought well in these raids, and you have severely frustrated the spirit of the Turquoise Cavalry Shi people, you arrange for the soldiers to rest first, and then we will discuss how to defend tomorrow!" ”

"No!"

At dawn, when the sky was just numb and bright, Zhao Ziliang took a dozen people out of the fort gate, came to the open space under the city wall, measured the distance from the city wall to the open space in front of him with a rope, and ordered people to pile up some small stones at the four points of fifty steps, one hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, and two hundred steps to make marks, and in order to be able to see clearly, pour white lime water on the stones.

After arranging the affairs outside the city, he returned to the inner wall of the fort, and ordered all the bed crossbows to be carried onto the wall, and a large number of crossbow arrows were transported to the city wall in bundles, as well as a large number of stones and rolling logs, and he also ordered a pot of fire oil to be boiled.

Just after breakfast, Fumeng Lingjing came to the city wall with a few generals, captains and officials, and saw that Zhao Ziliang had prepared all the defense and garrison work on the city wall, and admired him very much, and praised him non-stop, which made Bi Sichen and some other people around Fumeng Lingjing extremely envious and jealous.

"General, look, the Turgish are coming!" A voice broke the silence on the ramparts.

Everyone looked ahead, only to see a puff of smoke and dust rising from the sky in front of them, and gradually moving in the direction of Tuoyun Fort, which undoubtedly indicated that the Turgish army was coming again.

Fu Meng Lingjing immediately raised his hand and said loudly: "Soldiers, prepare to fight!" ”
