Lin Zhao pulled out his short knife violently, blood splattered on the city, and a Western Xia warrior who climbed the city fell down. The www.biquge.info then cooperated with a Song soldier and poured fire oil on the ladder, and when the torch was thrown down, a heart-rending wail came.

There were no missing arrows over there, and there were already six or seven party soldiers in a row, and the battle at the head of the city was quite fierce.

Perhaps because Liang Yi, the minister of the Western Xia Dynasty, was anxious for quick success and quick gains, and was more anxious, the offensive of the Western Xia was quite fierce, and the battle situation in Liyuan Fort was far more cruel than imagined.

The city wall, which was less than two miles in circumference and less than 500 meters on each side of the east, west, north and south, was attacked by tens of thousands of troops in Western Xia. The dense attack almost made it impossible for the Song soldiers to hold on.

The attack had been going on for a whole day, and no reinforcements had arrived from Gyeongju, and it was all due to the enthusiasm of the soldiers of Liwon Fort.

The Tanguts climbed the city several times, but were repulsed by the Song army's counterattack. Of course, this was also a pitiful victory after paying a very heavy price.

At the end of the day, the defenders of Liyuan Fort suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and the intensity of the battle can be seen. Of course, the number of people lost in Western Xia was far greater than that.

At the beginning, Lin Zhao was holding a bow, but he immediately found that without practice, the bow and arrow thing could not be played smoothly at all. Although the strength to draw the bow is there, the accuracy of jing is far behind.

However, the master is very good at this, after all, he comes from a family of famous generals, and he has been in contact since he was a child. Even when I grew up, I studied with a teacher, and my kung fu in riding SHE did not stop.

Standing at the head of the city, there were almost "no arrows", and there were dozens of Western Xia soldiers who were killed and wounded under his arrows, and they immediately won a lot of praise, and some people even called him Xiao Li Guang.

Lin Zhao was not idle, and first used rolling wood and stones, fire oil, etc. with other soldiers to prevent the Western Xia soldiers from climbing the city wall. When there were Western Xia warriors bravely climbing to the top of the city, and before they had time to cheer, Lin Zhao's A/Lab short knife was already waiting to go up.

Although the knife is short, it is a first-class treasure knife, and it is extremely sharp. In addition, Lin Shaoqing's kung fu is not as good as his skills, and his skills are agile, so one dies and one dies, and two dies and a pair. Today, he also killed more than 30 Tangut people, if it weren't for this, the Tangut people might have already ascended to the city, so Lin Zhao's actions are particularly meaningful, and it can even be said that he saved Liyuan Fort several times.

Because of this, Lin Zhao and Seed Master Dao quickly became warriors and stars in the eyes of the defenders.

At this moment, no one cared where they came from, and after seeing them kill many Western Xia soldiers, their hearts were full of admiration and admiration. There are even people who regard them as role models, and the generals who have commanded are also full of joy when they see them. It's just that the war is tense, and I haven't had a chance to praise and encourage a few words.

The sun was already in the west, and the autumn wind was blowing, blowing the smoke and dust around Liyuan Fort. On the earth and the city with loess as the keynote, the pools of blood red have gradually begun to turn black. Up and down the city, countless corpses fell, and the wails had long been drowned out in the shouts of killing.

"Prime Minister, it's getting late, the soldiers are already tired, why don't you withdraw the troops temporarily!" Ye Lihan, the Western Xia general who commanded the army, came to ask for instructions, and the number of casualties was very large, which made him a little unbearable.

The Chinese army is naturally in charge of Liang Yi, the minister of the Western Xia Kingdom, who is looking at the still strong Liyuan Fort at this moment, and his expression is full of undisguised disappointment. I only heard him say in a deep voice: "It's been a day, and I haven't moved!" ”

How could Ye Lihan not hear the dissatisfaction and reproach in the words of the foreign minister, but the reality was that the Song army was so tenacious and insistent that it was impossible to overcome it in a short time. But it's only been a day, and I can't hold it back, and I don't want to think about it, even if the founding lord Li Yuanhao is resurrected, he can't conquer a well-prepared Song army fortress.

Who made the family the minister of state and the younger brother of the queen mother? Even if Ye Lihan was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to show it in the slightest, so he had to apologize: "Forgive me, the Song army is very tenacious, so it is hopeless to break the city today." However, our army is like a rainbow, and it will definitely be able to win in the future, and the soldiers are already quite tired today, can you withdraw the troops first? ”

Liang Yibury is not an ancient person, and nodded lightly: "Well, let's collect the troops!" But keep me in mind that Ming Ri continues to attack, and I must conquer Liyuan Fort! ”

Liang Guoxiang thought that since he couldn't easily fight the idea of Gyeongju, he had to put more thought into Liyuan Fort. To the maximum extent, to make the people of the Song Dynasty more painful, there is a pain in the skin, that is to have face.

Ye Lihan didn't know what the Minister of State thought, Dashun City was caught off guard by accident, not to mention that until now, Dashun City has not been completely conquered.

How easy is it to conquer Liyuan Fort? Why don't you besiege but not attack and ambush the reinforcements from Gyeongju? Ye Lihan originally wanted to make a suggestion, but when he saw Liang Yi's gloomy expression, he swallowed back the words to his lips.

In the final analysis, Ye Lihan is a party general, and there is still a little bit of trouble between him and Liang Yiburi, and some things can't be said too clearly.

The Tangut people finally withdrew their troops, and standing at the head of the city and seeing the Tangut soldiers retreating like chao water, Lin Zhao finally took a breath.

This was the first time he had experienced a war, and the first time he had gone into battle to kill the enemy and defend his homeland.

Lin Zhao also saw the cruelty of war for the first time, but in just a moment, thousands of people were killed and injured in the small Liyuan Fort. This is still so cruel in the ancient era of cold weapons, which shocked Lin Zhao, who grew up in the era of peace.

Regardless of whether it was the Song people or the Tangut people who died, a life disappeared silently, which made people feel a little emotional. But what can be done? The reality is so cruel!

As soon as he came down, Lin Zhao also slashed a lot of Western Xia soldiers, and in ancient times, it was not the first time to kill people. But never before has there been such a slay of so many enemies in a war to defend the homeland and country.

In his hand he held the A/Rab short knife, the hilt of which was covered with blood, already slimy, almost stuck to the palm of his hand. There were blood stains all over his body and face, and even minced meat, which looked a little scary.

While lamenting the cruelty of the war, Lin Zhao also went through the baptism of war for the first time and became a real warrior, of course, they are undoubtedly still warriors in today's war.

Lin Zhao knew very well that this was just the beginning, and if you want to mix in the army, getting used to blood and killing is the first step. Maybe I was a little moved at first, but I need to have a strong heart later.

Lin Zhao turned around and smiled at the Seed Master Dao beside him, the heartiness after the battle side by side, and the vague feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe, all came to his heart for a while, and it was difficult to express it in words.

While they were looking at each other and laughing, someone appeared behind them and shouted, "What do you call the two strong men?" Which general is under it? ”

Lin Zhao and Seed Master Dao reacted at this time, after all, they were supernumerary personnel, and they had been fighting for a day, so they should have an explanation to others.

"Commander, please come over!"

There is no other reason, because Lin Zhao and the breeder Dao Jinri are too colorful, and they are undoubtedly the most brilliant soldiers.

According to the tradition of the Song army, you can be promoted according to military merits, and at the same time, you are a warrior admired by other soldiers.

They had already been noticed during the battle, but it was so fierce that it was too late to know where they came from. Until the battle ended at this time, the generals under the command paid attention to this matter, so they sent someone to invite Lin Zhao to meet with the Seed Master.

Along the way, the soldiers of the Song army were all impressed by them, and there was a lot of admiration in their eyes. This is the case on the battlefield, the strong and the warrior are always respected, and it is precisely because of this that the sense of honor in Lin Zhao's heart arises spontaneously......

Soon they reached the middle of the city wall, where a general was directing the aftermath! Seeing Lin Zhao and the Seed Master Dao walking by, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "Two strong men, under Liu Changzuo!" ”

Looking at the costumes, this person should be a commander, commanding a battalion of soldiers and horses, and he is barely a senior officer in Liyuan Fort. However, this person seems to be modest, and he greatly appreciates and respects the soldiers who go into battle to kill the enemy, and make military achievements and soldiers. Lin Zhao and the seed master Dao Jinri killed dozens of Western Xia soldiers, and they were definitely meritorious warriors, so Liu Changzuo didn't dare to slack off!

"Commander Liu, don't dare to be!" Lin Zhao and Seed Master Dao are now playing small soldiers, so they naturally have to be modest and cautious.

Liu Changzuo smiled: "What do you call the two strong men?" Which general's ministry is it? ”

Lin Zhao preemptively said: "In the lower Zhao Lin ......"

Where did the Seed Master Dao not understand Lin Zhao's intentions? At present, their true identities must not be revealed, and they immediately said: "Under Zhang Zhong!" ”

"It turned out to be Zhao Zhuangshi and Zhang Zhuangshi, the two of you are performing Jing Cai today, killing dozens of enemies, but a great achievement!" Liu Changzuo smiled: "Just looking at your eyes, I don't know who is under it?" ”

The seed master Dao, who goes by the pseudonym Zhang Zhong, explained: "We came from Gyeongju, a scout under Li Zhizhou, who came out to investigate the news, and it happened that Liwon Fort was attacked, so we stayed to resist the enemy's attack. ”

The Seed Master Dao dared to make such nonsense, and there was a complete reason for it. As soon as it came down, Gyeongju didn't see any reinforcements coming, presumably Li Fugui was worried about the other party's encirclement and reinforcements! Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the guy is afraid and does not dare to fight, and the seed master Dao does not have much affection for him now.

Even if you have the opportunity to communicate with Gyeongju, when you are so nervous, will you mention such a trivial matter as confirming the identities of the two scouts?

"Oh!" Liu Changzuo nodded, these two people behaved exceptionally, and their bearings were very unusual, not like ordinary old men. It seems that Lord Zhizhou is surrounded by high-ranking people, and even the scouts are so good.

Liu Changzuo said: "No matter who you are under your command, you have made great contributions this time, and this commander will report for you!" ”

Lin Zhao looked at the Commander Liu in front of him and appreciated it very much!

is modest, rewards and punishments are clear, and there is no credit grabbing, this person's quality is not bad. Moreover, Jin Ri is also very good at commanding operations on the city wall, skilled in the art of war, orderly mobilization, and a talent.

It's a bit condescending to be a little conductor, and I will definitely make a lot of achievements in the future.

Liu Changzuo would not have thought that he inadvertently praised the two scouts who were brave in battle, and the reward he got was actually a smooth progress. In a few years, a great opportunity will be presented to him......

Liu Changzuo said: "Okay, you go back to the camp, maybe Xu Jianjun will receive you later......"

Xu Jianjun? Who are they?

Lin Zhao and the planter were confused, and returned to the camp to simply clean and bandage the small wounds on their bodies.

"I didn't expect Lin Shaoqing to kill the enemy so bravely!" The seed master Dao was a little surprised, he came from a family of famous generals, and he was naturally no stranger to combat. But Lin Zhao is different, before that, he gave people the impression of being more like a weak scholar.

Lin Zhao smiled: "It's nothing, but your archery skills are really amazing!" ”

The seed master smiled, and then said with a deep face: "Today, I have repelled the Xixia people, but what about it?" They will definitely come back. ”

"Alas!" Lin Zhao also sighed!

Seed Master Dao knew the situation in the northwest very well, and said: "If it is Dashun City, it would be better, but Liyuan Fort...... In the end, it is not so strong, if the Gyeongju side does not provide timely assistance, it may not be able to hold out for long! ”

"Yes, I heard that Dashun City has not been completely lost so far?" Lin Zhao also learned the news when he arrived near Liyuan Fort.

Seed Master Dao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What if you don't lose it?" At this moment, it is already a lonely city, and if there are no reinforcements, it will not be able to support a few ri. ”

Reinforcements...... Lonely City......

When he heard these words, Lin Zhao couldn't help but move in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "What if Dashun City is rescued now?" ”

"Rescue?" The Seed Master Dao was shocked at first, and then seemed to understand something.

At this moment, someone came and shouted: "Xu Jianjun is invited!" ”

Xu Jianjun's name is Xu Xi, and he is a member of the Ministry of War. In the Song Dynasty, where the Privy Council was in charge, the military department was completely an ornament, but he really had a little power in this small matter.

In order to inspect the military affairs of various places, the Privy Council sent a number of ministers from the Ministry of War to various places to temporarily act as supervisors and observe the military affairs in various places.

Xu Xi came to the northwest and just came to Huanqing Road from Qinfeng Road.

Because when he arrived, Gyeongju had just had an accident, so Li Fugui carefully guarded him and let him come to Liwon Fort. I thought of scaring him with the nervousness of the front line and telling him to hurry away.

Although his threat level is far less than that of Lin Zhao, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, after all, he is a member of the imperial court, and he feels a little in the way. Li Fugui is also in line with the spirit of seeing out of sight is pure, and carefully sailing the ship of ten thousand years.

But Xu Xi is a wonder, he thinks this is a good opportunity, it is impossible to have a future in the military department all the time, if he can have some military merits in the northwest this time, then entering the Privy Council or something, promotion and wealth is not a problem at all.

Power is such a thing, once you touch it, it can be addictive!

Today, Western Xia suddenly attacked, and although Xu Xi was afraid, he also felt that it was an opportunity. It's just that he is a weak civil official, and he has no chance to go into battle at all.

After the battle, he heard that two warriors had made great achievements and beheaded dozens of people, and he immediately felt envy, jealousy and hatred. However, what caught his attention was not the military exploits, but the identities of these two people - Li Qingzhou's scout.

Xu Xi also wanted to tie up with Li Fugui, and then with Wang Xianggong behind Li Fugui. Although many people in Bianjing City voted for Wang Xianggong, few of them got important things.

If Li Zhizhou can help recommend it, it will naturally be the best! With such a thought, Xu Xi specially found Lin Zhao and the Seed Master!

The two "impostors" came, they didn't know how much power and status this Xu Jianjun had, and they looked very imposing. So between greetings, Lin Zhao and Seed Master Dao said a proposal in their hearts: "Prison Army, win this battle...... Tangut ...... Dashun City ...... We ......"

After some words, Xu Xi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was pleasantly surprised!

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

In the city of Gyeongju, Li Fugui paid close attention to the situation in Liwon Fort.

The first day of fighting was over, and Liyuan Fort remained unmoved, which was to be expected.

The fortress built in the era of Fan Zhongyan, how could it be so easy to break? If this were the case, the Song Dynasty's northwest frontier defense would have been useless long ago.

As for why no troops were sent to the rescue, one is because Li Fugui firmly believes that Liyuan Fort can hold on for the time being. Second, they were also worried that the Tanguts were cunning and ambushed troops on the way to attack reinforcements......

This night, at least the things in Liyuan Fort can reassure him, but there is another thing that makes him uneasy!

The honor guard and guard of Lin Zhao, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, appeared forty miles south of Gyeongju City!

Although "Lin Shaoqing" is under their control, the meaning of the guards is suddenly different.

This shows that Lin Zhao is going to disclose his identity!

At this juncture, the situation in Gyeongju became more and more chaotic, and for a while, Li Fugui was in turmoil!

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

Lin Shaoqing's escort Su An and the others did arrive near Gyeongju!

Coming from Qinfeng Road, it won't take long, even if you deliberately delay the trip, you won't be able to delay it for a long time.

If it is deliberately delayed, maybe some officials will impeach Lin Shaoqing for dereliction of duty, how can Captain Su let Lin Zhao suffer such an injustice?

So, they swayed all the way, and finally came.

After really stepping into the Gyeongju range, Su'an began to be a little embarrassed!

Because he didn't know Lin Zhao's whereabouts, according to the earlier agreement, when he came openly, Lin Zhao should have come back in time.

But after two days of waiting, there was no trace of Lin Zhao at all.

Su An began to be a little anxious, first, how did he enter Gyeongju in a bright light? It would be embarrassing if someone debunked it.

What's even more terrifying is that Lin Zhao's identity has been exposed, after all, it is dangerous to come to Gyeongju to investigate the case this time, what happened to him? Even if something really happened, I can't tell!

What's more, now that there is a war on Huanqing Road, Su An is really afraid that Lin Zhao has three longs and two shorts......

In desperation, Su An had no choice but to deliberately stagnate, and Suo Xing stopped forty miles south of Gyeongju City.

It feels like a temporary retreat for fear of war.

Although it is a little embarrassing, it is also a helpless way, I hope that during this time, Lin Zhao can come back in time.

What Su An is most worried about at the moment is that someone from Gyeongju wants to see Lin Shaoqing, what should he do?

Alas! If there's an imposter around, at least be able to deal with it for a while! Su An had a very ridiculous idea in his heart!

But even so, where to find this imposter? (To be continued.) )
