Chapter 278: Helpless Li Qianyuan

At the east gate of the Longyou Guard's Mansion, looking at the Xia army galloping in the distance, Wei Yan did not have a trace of joy on his face. www.biquge.info Although the battle at the East Gate was not tragic and the number of living forces was the largest, he was not sure that he could hold the East Gate in the face of the menacing Xia Army.

Someone was sent to inform Shi Lance and Shi Zong of the news, and Wei Yan stood on the city wall, ready to fight to the death.

The Xia army was rolling in, and the leading general was Li Qianyuan.

Li Qianyuan has been waiting for reinforcements to arrive these days. Six days ago, he was surprised to hear that Baye Gu Siqi led an army to attack the city with all his might, and he almost brought people to kill him. But when he learned that the defenders had repelled the first wave of attacks from Bayegusi, he changed his mind.

Subsequently, he had people constantly scout from a distance and watch the battle between the two sides. In this way, five days later, Baye Gu Siqi still did not take the Longyou Capital Protectorate.

Early in the morning of the sixth day, the 20,000 troops sent by Li Yuanhao arrived, and Li Qianyuan's original intention was to wait until Baye Gu Siqi took the Longyou Protectorate before sending troops, so that the Xia army could occupy the Longyou Protectorate in a bright and real way. When the time comes, in the name of helping Zhao Shuo manage, even if Zhao Shuo is not happy, but the two sides are now in an alliance relationship, Li Qianyuan believes that Zhao Shuo can only eat Coptis dumbly and acquiesce to this result.

But after five days of fierce fighting, Li Qianyuan didn't see that Baye Gu Siqi had a chance to take the Longyou Protectorate. In this case, if he waited any longer, Li Qianyuan was worried that Baye Gu Siqi would lead his troops to retreat.

Once this happened, their reinforcements would be meaningless, and the alliance between Western Xia and Zhao Shuo might be affected. After all, Li Yuanhao's order was to rescue Longyou.

After some consideration, Li Qianyuan led the army out and rushed to the Longyou Protectorate. But as soon as they appeared, they were discovered by the scouts sent by Gu Tong Yuntian stationed at the east gate. The scout immediately returned to the Great Tent and told the news to Gu Tong Yuntian.

Gu Tong Yuntian, who received the news, originally wanted to report to Baye Gu Siqi, but the situation was urgent, and when the news passed, Baye Gu Siqi's general order was passed back, and the Xia army might be killed at the east gate.

If it was before, Xia Jun was new and had an unstable foothold, and he might still have the strength to fight. But now, after a five-day life-and-death battle with the defenders of Longyou, even if Baye Gu Siqi brings people to the rescue, it will never be possible to stop the Xia army.

Thinking of this, Gu Tong Yuntian immediately ordered to retreat to the west gate. As for why it wasn't withdrawn to the north gate, it was entirely because of Gu Tongyuntian's intuition.

After the order to retreat was issued, the news of the arrival of the Xia army spread all of a sudden, so there was a general order of 'the Xia army is coming, and the west gate is assembled'.

Going to the West Gate, Gu Tong Yuntian chose to go from the North Gate Jin Kingdom, and the slogan of his soldiers affected the soldiers who were still attacking the city at the North Gate. When these men heard the news, and the shouts were all from the yellow-headed Uighur soldiers, they gave up their attack and ran with them to the west gate.

Although Baye Gu Siqi was angry, he had no choice but to follow him to the north gate.

Gu Tong Yuntian still had a little conscience, and when he left the east gate, he sent a few people to the south gate and told Mi Mu the news of the arrival of the Xia army.

Mi Mu learned that the Xia army had arrived, and Gu Tong Yuntian at the east gate had withdrawn to the west gate, and without saying a word, he immediately stopped the attack and led people to the west gate.

In this way, when Li Qianyuan arrived at the Longyou Protectorate with his army, the war of the Longyou Protectorate had ended, and the Huangtou Uighurs and Duomi tribes who were besieging the city were concentrated at the West Gate and gathered together with the Qiangtang tribe of Qianghu'er.

"Open the city gate, we have been ordered by the king of Xiping to help you defend the city." Under the East Gate, Li Qianyuan reined in his war horse and shouted at Wei Yan on the city wall.

Wei Yan arched his hand and said very politely. "We have received the letter from the King of Song, and the King of Song has formed an alliance with Western Xia. Longyou is in trouble, and the king of Xiping sent troops to help, we are really grateful......"

Wei Yan was polite, but he just didn't order the city gate to be opened.

"We are here to rescue Longyou, is this the hospitality of King Song? Could it be that the King of Song asked you to treat the reinforcements like this? Facing Wei Yan, who was playing haha, Li Qianyuan was a little angry.

Wei Yan was actually waiting for Shi Lance and Shi Zong's generals, there were so many people in the Xia army, and he didn't dare to do such a thing as opening the city gate rashly.

"Don't blame the general, don't blame." Wei Yan said with a smile. "Bayegusiqi's team has just retreated, and it could come back at any time. It is too dangerous to open the gates of the city in a hurry. I have already reported the situation here to the two captains of Shi Qi and Shi Zong, and as soon as they order the city gate to be opened, I will immediately open the city gate and invite the general to enter the city. ”

"You ......" Li Qianyuan was choked with anger. If it weren't for Li Yuanhao's order, he would have directly ordered the siege of the city.

At this time, a soldier came over and muttered a few words in Wei Yan's ear, Wei Yan nodded again and again, and then said to Li Qianyuan under the city. "General, I have received the general's order, the enemy army is really concentrated at the West Gate, and now the morale is low, it is really a good opportunity to attack. Shi Lance and Shi Zong, I hope that the general can lead people to attack them immediately, so that the crisis of Longyou can be solved. ”

"Our army has been attacking for a long time, and we have just arrived here, so we can't even rest or take a break, let's attack the enemy, isn't this a bit ......" Li Qianyuan didn't want to directly repel Baye Gu Siqi, because once Baye Gu Siqi withdrew, Longyou would be completely called Zhao Shuo's bag, and if Xixia wanted to occupy it, it would be almost impossible.

"The enemy army is now suffering heavy losses, like a bird with a frightened bow, and the general, as a reinforcement, doesn't he know the reason that the fighter plane is fleeting?" Before Li Qianyuan finished speaking, Wei Yan retorted. "If the general is not happy, he can lead his troops to retreat, and it is no problem for my Longyou army to gather and repel the heavy losses and no will to fight. If it weren't for the fact that you were allies and invited by King Song, if you weren't given some opportunities to perform, you wouldn't be able to say anything to King Song, you think we would really let you go! ”

I have to say that Wei Yan is very good at talking, of course, these words also have a certain truth. After all, the news of the arrival of the Xia army had already spread among Baye Gusiqi's army. Ba Ye Gu Siqi, who has suffered heavy losses, really has no fighting will. The reason why he hasn't retreated yet is to see what the Xia army is coming for. If he attacks Longyou, he wants to take the opportunity to get some oil and water, and if he unites with Longyou to attack him, he will flee immediately.

After thinking about it, Li Qianyuan reluctantly chose to compromise. Li Yuanhao asked him to come to do something, because Li Yuanhao attaches great importance to this military alliance, if he doesn't do anything, Li Yuanhao can't explain it.

"The whole army detoured to the north gate and killed the west gate." Li Qianyuan waved his hand and gave the general order. (To be continued.) )
