"Finally back......"

On the east side of the main camp of the former army, Li Qing withdrew his gaze from the direction of the main camp. Ye Poma really returned before nightfall, and before he set up camp, he was recruited to Baichi Fort, and what kind of instructions did he get from the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister.

But no matter what the order is, it will not be the same as what Liang Yibury said when he left the Chinese army before. By tomorrow, most of our team will take the lead.

Looking further away, the shadow of Yanzhou City at night, Li Qing turned around and returned to the camp.

The camp where he commanded more than 4,000 horses was nearly a mile away from the main camp. It is located on a low slope with a river ditch nearby, and the location is a little closer to the city of Yanzhou.

Encamped, there is never a talk of getting together. As long as the troops are sufficient, they are divided into several parts, control several adjacent points, occupy enough geographical advantages when the enemy attackes, and at the same time have easy access and will not interfere with each other in eating, drinking, and Lazar.

Li Qing was very glad about this, he didn't like to get too close to Ye Xiaoma, and it was inconvenient to get too close. As a representative of the Han people in the Western Xia Kingdom, Li Qing has always fully supported the Liang brothers and sisters, and his ranking in the court has become higher and higher, and now he is the leader of the Han army, and has gradually become the core of the Liang family.

In the salute of the soldiers guarding the camp gate, Li Qing walked into his camp.

In the blazing firelight, a huge black shadow rose. Li Qing's footsteps stopped, and he watched it rise to a height of twenty zhang, and then was tightly pulled by a strong rope. A thin soldier in the hanging basket had eyes as sharp as lightning, vigilantly monitoring all movements inside and outside Yanzhou City.

On the other side, an equally huge spaceship was lowering its altitude little by little. The airbags on the gondola have deflated a lot, and there is a very obvious difference from the one that has just been raised.

A man dressed as a craftsman shouted under the falling ship, directing two soldiers to wrap the rope thrown from the ship around the stake.

"An hour." Li Qing muttered to himself in a low voice, he had been counting the time when the spaceship would float in the air.

The time that a spaceship can float in the air generally depends on the season and weather, a sunny and windless summer day, two hours are possible, in other words, it is windy in winter, barely go up, and it has to come down in less than two quarters of an hour. The night of late autumn is about a little less than an hour - but this is the time that can only be reached by the spaceships built by the Song officers, and in other words, it is the product of the craftsmen of the Western Xia, and there are not many who can fly into the sky. The airbags on the spacecraft must be sewn so that they do not leak at all, and this craft cannot be found casually. Fortunately, seven or eight spaceships were captured in Lingzhou before.

The victory under the city of Lingzhou was not only a matter of lingering time, but also tens of thousands of iron armor, spears and sabers. There were also thousands of prisoners of war, but unfortunately there were only a few craftsmen among them. The craftsmen of the Han family are famous all over the world, and the craftsmen from the army are even rarer, which one doesn't want it?

In previous years, every time the Song army was defeated, the captured craftsmen were the focus of contention, and it was not uncommon for them to fight for this. Fortunately, there was no blacksmith this time, otherwise there might have been a fight.

After some competition and exchange of interests in the court, several master craftsmen who can build siege equipment were divided, and it was agreed that they would be brought out to build equipment when the war started, and the small workers below were still rushing to ask for it. It's just that there is still one craftsman left to repair the spaceship, and it is inconvenient for one person to divide it, so he took it for the Liang family, and transferred it to Li Qing before going out of the battle.

Li Qing watched the landing of the spaceship, and secretly said in his heart, if there was a craftsman among the captives who knew how to make plate armor and could make special forging hammers, even in the Zichen Palace, most of them would also fight with fists and feet.

Li Qing imagined that scene, and the corners of his mouth curled, it was really funny.

The landing spacecraft had reached the position of three feet, and the craftsman was tilting his head and shouting below.

Li Qing looked up at the two spaceships that were still floating in mid-air, one high and one low, the Song people in the city could come out to attack at any time, just in case, even at night, the spacecraft could not be put down at will, leaving loopholes in the surveillance.

Both ships were trophies captured in the Battle of Lingzhou. Originally, it was not that the Western Xia Kingdom had never built a spaceship, but how could that kind of shoddy goods compare to the top quality from the Song State Weapons Supervisor. After it was seized, it was directly used. For the ability of the spaceship to look far away and explore the city, every Western Xia general is looking forward to it.

However, in the case of Li Qing himself, he would rather ride a horse and run under the walls of Yanzhou City to investigate, rather than stand in the hanging basket of that thing, and he would be far away to feel at ease.

The Great Liao Tianzi who fell from the sky made many people afraid of the spaceship. There are even rumors that the Song people do not cherish such flying gods, because they have the ability to curse the enemies on the spaceship, and the Liao lord Yelu Hongji is the best evidence.

Based on Li Qing's knowledge, he naturally knows that this is nonsense, but reason and emotion are two different things. He had been on a spaceship before, and had the experience of being on board once. Climbing high and looking far away makes people look forward to it, but under his feet, there is a void of thirty zhang across a layer of rattan, and that feeling makes Li Qing completely forget to look into the distance, and always unconsciously look at the soles of his feet. But that time, the spaceship was suddenly attacked by a strong wind, and Li Qing's life in the hanging basket hung by a thread. In the end, it was good luck, plus dozens of people pulling the reins below, so that Li Qing did not become the first person to fall in the Western Xia Kingdom.

But since that time, he has had a faint fear of the spaceship in his heart, which made Li Qing reluctant to get too close to such an artifact that can carry people suspended in mid-air.

The falling spacecraft is especially at a height of more than two feet and nearly three feet, and the spacecraft rises quickly, but the descent is to wait for the hot air in the airbag to cool down by itself, and the speed is very slow.

Li Qing was not in a hurry, and waited patiently for the spaceship to rub down a little bit. However, the person in the hanging basket did not seem to have the patience to wait, and as soon as he turned over, he turned out of the hanging basket, put his hand on the edge of the hanging basket and the rope once, and in the blink of an eye, he fell steadily to the ground, and the dust was not shocked.

Jumping out of the hanging basket was a middle-aged man. The skeleton is large and tall, but the exposed hands and feet are all protruding muscles and bones, obviously not too heavy, otherwise it would not be suitable for sitting in a spaceship. The beard was unkempt, and it hid his appearance.

Seeing that Li Qing was beside him, he clasped his fists and saluted: "Wugui greets the captain." ”

"No need to be polite." Li Qing said, anxiously asking, "How is the movement in Yanzhou City?" ”

"It seems to be a bit chaotic, there are too many people in the city."

If more than 1,000 people go out of the city, they will have to be at least dozens of zhang in front and back, and even if they are separated by two or three miles, they can be found immediately on the spaceship. But there is only a lot of land on the top of the city wall, and when you look at the city wall two miles away, it is already similar to a line. Li Qing asked suspiciously: "How can you see it?" ”

"The torches on the head of the city are covered from time to time, and there will only be too many people. The official who went up to the city wall...... The Song army must have at least three or four thousand. Wu Gui frowned, "I haven't gone to attack the city yet, so there shouldn't be so many people going to the city......"

Li Qing also wondered what was the point of sending so many people to the city in the middle of the night. There are also spaceships floating in the air in the city, as long as the city gate is guarded, a dozen teams of soldiers are sent on the top of the city wall, and it is enough to patrol in sections, "What do you see going on?" ”

Wu Gui thought for a moment and said, "...... Perhaps the legend is true, it was not Gao Yongneng and Qu Zhen who were in charge of the defense in Yanzhou City, but Xu Xi, or the chief general of the Beijing Forbidden Army that he brought from Beijing. ”

"That's why you have such a joke?" Li Qing looked in the direction of the city wall, "It really makes sense." ”

"There is also news of the shortage of grain in Yanzhou City. Since the previous is accurate, this one should be somewhat possible. From this, it can be inferred that the amount of grain stored in Yanzhou City must be insufficient. ”

"That's right!" Li Qing nodded, turned his head and said with a smile: "The grain and straw we carry with us, plus the ones transported from the rear, can support it for half a month." Kill the livestock again, and it will be another half a month. Can the Song people in Yanzhou City last a month? ”

"Supposedly, it can't be sustained." Wu Gui shook his head, "During this time, the consumption of Yanzhou City and the amount of transportation can be calculated, it is impossible to last too long, ten days is barely ...... The walls that have just been rammed are not very reliable, and if they take two or three years, they may be as hard as stone. But in ten days, it can't be. ”

When Li Qing heard this, he smiled: "If you hadn't gotten this result in advance, no one would have dared to fight this battle." ”

"Who makes the Son of Heaven not use people!"

The hatred in Wu Gui's eyes flashed away, but was captured by Li Qing. But this is nothing, in the Western Xia Kingdom, he is not the only one who has hatred for the Zhao official family of the Great Song Dynasty, but Li Qing feels that he has to thank him, "Thanks to such a son of heaven, otherwise Western Xia would have been destroyed a long time ago." ”

Wu Gui was old-fashioned, and he didn't smile with Li Qing's words. Li Qing didn't care, "If the military situation in the city can really be as you say Wugui, this credit will be decided." In two days, you should be able to live up to your name--you are expensive with martial arts! ”

"Expensive ......" Wu Gui grinned a little bleakly, "When has the red guy ever been expensive?" ”

Wu Gui didn't kneel down to thank him for his gratitude, but Li Qing didn't care. It's normal to have the ability and have a big temper. Wu Gui was right before, and he always brought humiliation on himself

"Tomorrow I'm going to take the lead, I don't know ...... Wugui" Li Qing tested Wugui's attitude, and didn't make his words clear.

"I don't want to kill my own brothers, it's okay to camp in Beijing, there are many acquaintances in the Western Army, and it's too ugly to fight." Wu Gui simply refused, "When this battle is over, let's go into battle when we want to rectify the divination people." ”

"If you want to punish the divination people, you have to wait until all the Song troops are driven back to the south of Hengshan. Otherwise, you wouldn't have the guts. Li Qing then smiled again, "Since you don't want to deal with the Song people, Wugui, it's all up to you." But the things in the camp still need you to keep an eye on. ”
