Late at night, there were still lights in the wards of the Luo Wucheng Sanatorium.

Two large barracks converted wards, with a total of hundreds of beds, were full of wounded soldiers. And they are all seriously injured - minor injuries are bandaged and they return to the team, and only serious injuries will be hospitalized. The strong smell of medicine filled the air in the room, and there were intermittent moans, which made people unbearable to hear.

Now the nurses in Luo Wucheng are basically just picked out, and the original group of people left with the injury when they returned to Suide last time. Lacking effective manpower, Han Gang could no longer watch from the sidelines, and had to help.

Han Gang squatted beside a hospital bed, helping a soldier who had been shot in the abdomen to change his wound medicine.

The wounded soldier was very young, and he had just grown a mellow mustache on his upper lip, and he was two years younger than Han Gang. When changing the dressing, he endured the pain, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, but he didn't say a word. It was only when Han Gang wrapped a bandage for him and was about to leave that he raised his hand and pulled Han Gang's cuffs and asked in a panic: "Han Guanren, will I die?" ”

Han Gang's eyebrows, which had been slightly sharp, softened, "Don't worry, it'll be fine after a while." ”

In the minds of the soldiers of Luo Wucheng, Han Gang's prestige was very high. There are very few officials who can do their best for the soldiers like Han Gang. It was also in the past few days that Han Gang had gained the respect of the entire Luo Wu City. His words calmed down the young soldier and let go of the hand that was holding the corner of Han Gang's clothes. After comforting the panicked soldiers, Han Gang stood up from the side of the bed. At this time, some of the wounded soldiers who had not yet fallen asleep watched Han Gang walk past with tears in their eyes.

Out of the ward, Han Gang looked up at a bright moon in the sky, although Qinghui was still comparable to yesterday's full moon, but he could already see that there was a little gap, and it was changing towards the lower quarter moon.

Today is already the tenth day of the siege of the city, and after ten days of fierce offensive and defensive battles, although the casualties of the defenders in the city are not large, there are more than 500 people. But Han Gang is now very confident in Luo Wucheng's ability to defend it, Luo Wu City is still intact, and even Yongle Sichuan Village is still there.

The banner of Liang Yi, the minister of the Western Xia state, was seen by the defenders at the head of the city more than once, but the high and deep Luowu City was never defeated. And with Luo Wucheng behind the back, the small Yongle Sichuan Village, the party members did not fight it either.

Once the Tangut people were ready to attack Yongle Chuanzhai, Gao Yongneng did not hesitate to send troops to fight, so that the party could not enter the army smoothly. Yongle Sichuan Village is only two miles away from Luowu, and such a narrow battlefield lacks space for two-sided operations. And such an active defensive posture is also the key to keeping Yongle Chuan City so far. And just two days ago, under the cover of the infantry array, a commanded cavalry also rushed into Yongle Sichuan Village and strengthened the defense of Yongle Sichuan Village.

Gao Yongneng did not hesitate to stick to Luo Wu City. The envoys who were sent in to persuade them to surrender, if they were from the party, cut off their ears and noses and drove them out with their hands, and if they were Han Chinese, they would directly chop up the city. After Liang Yibury sent two envoys, he no longer sent people in to send people in to send them to death and look for abuse, but turned into an intensified offensive.

After these days of fighting, everyone in the city understood that with the level of Luowu City's city defense and the clumsy siege equipment of the party members, Liang Yibury wanted to break through Luowu City in a short time, which was tantamount to a dream - in order to ensure that there would be no internal response to open the city, Chong Mo did not even leave a single Fan in the city in advance.

Luowu City is now nearly three zhang high, the outer moat, as well as the sheep and horse wall under the city, although its defense is not as good as Suide, Guwei these military cities that have been some years, and they also need to be increased in the future, but the current defense, there is no problem to resist the attack of the Western Xia people. In addition, there were more than 10,000 defenders in the city, and the battlefield under the city was too narrow, and there was no room for even the cavalry to gallop through the city, so that even if Liang Yibu had an army of 70,000 or 80,000, he could not send all the troops in his hands to attack the city.

And the rations in the city are not scarce, and the materials for defending the city are also very sufficient, although there are only a dozen wells, in terms of the people and horses in the city, it is indeed a little less, but in the case that the western thieves cannot completely besiege the city, the waterway connecting the Wuding River is still smooth, and it will not be thirsty.

Luo Wucheng itself is very safe, and there is confidence from top to bottom to stick to the end, but ...... Fort Funing has fallen.

The wolf smoke from the emergency a few days ago, even if it was a full thirty miles away, it was so faint that it almost became a wisp of shadow in the sky, and it was still deeply seared in the eyes of Han Gang and the others. The fall of Funing Fort made the prominent Luowu City a lone army. However, the situation in the city gradually calmed down from chaos at first.

After getting the news of the fall of Funing Fort, Gao Yongneng did not panic. From him, Han Gang could see confident confidence. Because next, it was Suide and Xifutu City who sent troops together to defeat the western thieves who captured Funing Fort, although they were always disturbed on the way, but the messenger from Suide was never broken.

Every day, messengers from Suid entered the city. In order to keep the communication line connecting Luo Wu and Suide, Han Jiang made a desperate move to dispatch troops. It's not just the generals on the Yanyan Road, but also the Huanqing Road in the recent area has more troops. Judging from the latest military information, Han Jiang has also transferred Zhang Yu, a famous veteran and known as Zhang Tiejian, and in the Western Army, there are three kinds of alongship, such as Chongyi, Chongfu, and Chongyi, and Yao Ji in the second Yao was also ordered to lead the army to maintain Luo Wu's back road.

However, Han Gang still has a pessimistic attitude, the daily consumption of a large military city is incalculable, and it may be able to support it now, but after a long time, it is impossible to hold on to it when the logistics arteries are disturbed, if Funing Fort cannot be rebuilt and stabilized, Luo Wucheng will inevitably give up.

But on the Western Xia side, Han Gang also estimated that their food would not be too much, and the current situation would depend on which side could not support it first!

………………

The soldiers have been under Luowu City for more than ten days, and Liang Yibu has always been in a dilemma.

Now that more than 10,000 elite Luo Wucheng are stationed in front, Liang Yibury cannot desperately bypass Luo Wucheng, so he can only divide part of his troops and detour to the south, and the main force is still placed in Luo Wucheng.

And where Luo Wucheng is located, there is no way to place the whole class that followed Liang Yi's burial. Thirty or forty thousand soldiers had filled the valley. At the same time, the party was a man, and the camp needed was much larger than that of the Song people. The camp stationed in the wilderness does not have a wall like Luowu City so that people can sleep peacefully. The tents of the various ministries that have been laid out cannot be crowded too tightly. It's about carving out a distance. Otherwise, once there is a disturbance, it will be a commotion that affects the whole camp, or even turmoil. In the worst-case scenario, the camp will be bombed.

And the previous action of Chong Ge sweeping the Xia Fan Department around Luo Wu also became a rope to strangle Liang Yi's neck.

As time passed, Liang Yibury more and more energy had to focus on logistics. The grain consumed by the 80,000 army is an astronomical amount, and in the past, the Dangxiang people invaded the south, either to get supplies from the Hengshan Tibetan Department, or to get grain storage by laying down the walled forts of the Song people. The four words "food for people" are the logistics rules of the Western Xia army.

But now, both roads are impassable, the tribes that are close to Great Xia have been wiped out, and the other Tibetan tribes have adopted a wait-and-see attitude, and they can't afford to provoke the Song and Xia families, but if they drill into the ravine, no one can do anything about them.

Liang Yibury can only hope that the means he buried in advance can play the role he hopes as soon as possible.

……………………

In fact, it's not just Liang Yi who has a headache, but Da Song Tianzi has also been having trouble sleeping and eating recently.

Although Chong Mo captured Luo Wu City without much effort, Zhao Ji spent a happy Shangyuan Festival. But the defeat of the Hedong Army immediately afterwards was equivalent to a basin of cold water poured on his head, which woke him up from the sweet dream of seeking peace from Lingxia.

Compared with the topographical sand table that is now placed in the center of the side hall of Wuying Palace, Hengshan and Wuding River, and the impact of the defeat in the east direction of the river on the entire battle situation, Zhao Ji has an extremely intuitive and clear understanding, and is not confused by Han Jiang's understatements.

And to add insult to injury, some people began to question the safety of the back road of Luo Wu City.

Guo Kui was the first to write and said that Funing Fort must focus on defense, otherwise Luo Wu would lose. Because Guo Kui was far away in Qinzhou, Zhao Ji was suspicious of his words. But a few days ago, Han Jiang's deputy, Xuanfu Judge Zhao Zhen, also played a secret performance, saying that due to the unfavorable construction of the city, Funing Fort was smaller than the predetermined shape, which made it impossible to garrison enough troops and it was difficult to resist the attack of the Western Thieves.

Guo Kui is in charge of Qin Feng, thousands of miles away from Funing Fort, and he is not in agreement with Han Jiang, what he says Zhao Xuan can not be the same thing. But Zhao Yu is a person in the Xuanfu Division, and he is a direct party, and when Zhao Yu saw his recital, he was shocked and hurriedly sent people to Luo Wu and Funing to inspect the truth. But just a few days after the people left, the news of the fall of Funing Fort came.

This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made Zhao Ji lose the strength to speak, and on the same day, the prince who had just been born for two days died again. The two bad news suddenly knocked down the young emperor, who was not in good health and was overworked.

By the time Zhao Ji was finally able to get up, it was already three days later. Fortunately, after these few days, the situation in Luo Wucheng gradually began to improve again. Although the Western Xia army occupied Funing Fort, it suffered a defeat under the blow of the troops sent from Suide and the Ji Jishi stationed in Xifutu City. Now the main road between Luowucheng and Suide is being guarded by soldiers and horses on the two roads of Huanqing and Yanyan to prevent the harassment of the western thieves.

Hearing the news that the war situation in Shaanxi was stable, Zhao Ji was in a much better mood, and he drank an extra bowl of medicinal porridge to replenish his body at noon today. But in the afternoon, Wang Anshi hurriedly asked to see him and presented a letter of the Liao people.

Zhao Ji only opened it to take a look, his face suddenly turned pale, and he was dizzy for a while, how could the Khitan people also get involved!
