Jinghe said in a deep voice: "Yes, this girl is from Jiangning, her surname is Meng, and her name seems to be Meng Ruoying!" ”

"Okay, I'll send someone to check immediately, as long as there is a name and a surname, I believe there will be news soon!" The Iron Mask Sect Master was full of anticipation, and his mood was also a little apprehensive.

Jinghe said: "She said, the jade pendant was given by the lover, maybe it is my long-separated child......"

"I don't leave ten!"

That being said, no one can be sure until they find someone.

"By the way, there is a woman next to this Meng girl, named Gu Yuelun!"

"Yes!"

"And ......" Jinghe lay man said again, seemingly a little hesitant.

The Iron Mask Sect Master obviously noticed the change in Jinghe's expression, and asked in a deep voice, "Madam, what's wrong?" ”

Jinghe Jushi pondered for a moment and said, "Miss Meng inadvertently mentioned that the lover went to the northwest on business, could it be that he is a member of the public family?" ”

"Gongzi's age is only twenty years old, and even if he is studying, he has only just reached the year of the imperial examination, so he should not be ...... Could it be that Gongzi is a minor official of the Yamen, or is it ......"

It doesn't matter what other identities they are, what the Iron Mask Sect Master is most worried about is that if he finds the wrong person at all, it will be a wasted joy. Hearing these seemingly inconsequential news, he was a little apprehensive in his heart.

Jinghe said: "It's been twenty years, we don't know what he looks like, let's find it according to the current clues first, and the progress is a little bit." ”

"Good!" For now, the plan has to be like this, and the Iron Mask Sect Master is helpless.

However, when it came to the northwest, he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, and he had a different feeling. It's been more than 20 years since I left there, and I wonder how high-spirited I was back then, but now I am......

Alas!

Going to the Northwest for business? Childe's identity is getting more and more special. However, it is also a clue, a two-pronged approach, starting from Jiangning, Bianjing, and Northwest at the same time, presumably there will be results soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The battle in Dashun City is still fierce, and it is already the third day.

Jing Sili thinks that the limit that can be insisted on is five days, but now it is only a little more than halfway through, and the pressure is already very huge, almost unbearable.

Lin Zhao was responsible for guarding the eastern city wall, which had 600 soldiers, and the four walls had a total of 2,400 people. As for the remaining 600 people, they are used as reserves, and they will go to support at any time when there is a critical situation.

On the Dongcheng side where Lin Zhao was located, more than 200 people had been killed in battle in three days, and most of the remaining 300 people were injured.

The first two days were fine, after all, there were still defensive weapons such as oil and stones.

However, because the attack of the Tangut people was really too fierce, the weapons were consumed quickly. By the afternoon of the next day, all the oil and stones had been depleted.

Originally, it was a good weapon to defend the city, and boiling water was also a good weapon. However, there is a lack of water in Dashun City, and only a little bit is the source of life, which cannot be wasted.

So, by the third day, although there were still bows and arrows to use, the effect was obviously a little different, and some were not satisfactory. As a result, the number of hand-to-hand encounters is increasing, and the casualties are becoming more serious.

A heart-rending cry came from the head of the city, and half of the shoulder of a Song soldier was cut off, and he fell down in wailing. Lin Zhao's eyes were full of hatred, and he rushed forward with a shout, and A/Lab's short knife slashed, resulting in a Western Xia soldier.

At the head of the city, such scenes are constantly staged, and the cruelty of war is vividly expressed at this moment.

After paying a heavy price and defending with extreme difficulty, the Song army finally temporarily resisted the Tanguts, and finally suffered the third twilight.

When the news of Mingjin's withdrawal came, when the Western Xia army retreated like chao water, the Song army at the head of the city all sat down on the ground, and they were all exhausted. No one cared about the blood on the ground, not even the remains of their companions, they needed rest so much.

Lin Zhaoqiang supported his body and stood at the head of the city, looking at the retreating Western Xia army. As well as the corpses piled up at the head of the city and under the city walls, I can't help but sigh that the war is really cruel!

In the face of the brave Tangut people, it is fortunate that there are still fortresses to hold onto.

The Western Xia army was good at cavalry combat, and field warfare was undoubtedly their strong point, relatively speaking, they were much worse at attacking cities. Therefore, a fortress was built in the northwest and a complete defensive front was established. It was very effective to eliminate the advantage of the Western Xia cavalry in this way, and it has to be said that Fan Zhongyan's strategy was very wise.

Rao is like this, and the Song army also paid a great price, even if it is temporarily held on to success, it is a disastrous victory. And in the process, the siege tactics of the Tanguts have been improving.

After all, it has been thirty years, and it is impossible for the Tangut people to run into a wall all the time and be helpless. They are also gradually groping, and now they have begun to bear fruit, and the siege battle is also well-organized and brave.

It is impossible for the fortress and the city wall to stop the pace of the Western Xia iron cavalry, and the border line of the Great Song Dynasty is still precarious. If you want to have long-term peace and stability, you must find a way to completely solve the Tangut people, and perhaps offense is the best defense.

However, the current situation is not optimistic!

Dashun City is about to be unable to support it, and today is a miserable victory, and Ming Ri may be able to hold on! But what about the day after tomorrow? By then, how many soldiers will be able to move at the head of the city?

It's a critical moment, but when will the reinforcements come? What exactly is Lee Fu-gyu doing? Why are reinforcements still missing?

In Dashun City, all the soldiers were a little anxious.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In fact, the Song army was in a hurry, and the Tangut people were also in a hurry.

For three whole days, the Western Xia army has never been able to capture Dashun City, and this result made Liang Yibu a little unhappy.

In front of a small fortress, it was impossible to attack for a long time with several times the force, which was a great test for the overall combat effectiveness of the Western Xia army. At the same time, he couldn't rush in and catch Lin Zhao as soon as possible, which made Liang Yi feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, and it also damaged his face, and he only felt that his face was dull.

"General Yeli, it's been three days, and Dashun City hasn't moved, should you think of something else?" Liang Yi's face sank, and his tone was very unpolite.

Ye Lihan said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, even if the other party does not have many troops...... Please forgive me for the fact that the difficulty of this battle has been predicted before. ”

Liang Yi was displeased: "It's difficult, yes, but why don't you invest all your forces and fight quickly?" ”

"Prime Minister ......"

At present, only about 60% of the troops are actually engaged in the siege, and the other 40% are ...... Ye Lihan explained in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, the Song army will not be able to hold on, and there will definitely be reinforcements from Gyeongju and Liyuan Fort. ”

"Miraculous effect?" Liang Yi snorted coldly: "Maybe the Song army will come to the rescue?" You want to wait for the rabbit, but what if the rabbit doesn't show up at all?

On the contrary, it is a small Dashun city, which cannot be attacked for a long time, which is very detrimental to the reputation of the Western Xia warriors, which is more important, you should be clear. ”

Ye Lihan was really helpless, he didn't have the strength and courage to argue with Liang Yi at all, so he had to give up his ideas and fully meet Liang Guoxiang's requirements.

He didn't know that the reason why Liang Yibury made such a strict request was not to maintain the dignity of the Western Xia army, but to announce personal vendettas......

As a result, all the Western Xia troops were mobilized to the city of Dashun. An extremely large number of troops launched another attack on Dashun City......
