Its own strategic significance is very significant, coupled with these political and cultural factors, making Dashun City the most special existence among the many fortresses in the northwest.

Its existence has undoubtedly received a lot of attention!

In this war, the Song court had already decided that Dashun City had been lost, or would be lost sooner or later, so the reaction was particularly fierce.

But what I didn't expect was that because of the persistence and bloody struggle of more than 2,000 soldiers, Dashun City was still strong, in the hands of the Song Dynasty, and never fell to the Western Xia people.

In addition to the wind and sand after 30 years, the fortified fortress is still strong, and the guard Jing Sili is absolutely indispensable.

Jing Sili, a native of Anyue, Puzhou, was given the post of managing the affairs of Weizhou Zhiping because of the shadow of his ancestors. Loyal and righteous, with good ability, Han Jiang, the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road, once used him to assist in the management of the security army.

In the second year, Xining was transferred to Huanqing Road and served as the defender of Dashun City, the first fortress in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty.

Jing Sili performed very well, not in vain Han Jiang's attention and praise for him, but also interpreted what is called the persistence and belief of a soldier with practical actions.

It has been a month since the clashes broke out between the Song and Xia armies on Huanqing Road in August, and Dashun City has been attacked by the Tanguts before and after. The casualties in Dashun City have exceeded six or seven percent, and there are about two thousand people left.

With such heavy casualties and such a difficult situation, Jing Sili persevered. In the face of the temptations of the Tanguts, he did not open the city and surrendered, and was unmoved. When the Tanguts launched an attack like a flood, while commanding the front line, he took the lead, bravely killed the enemy, fearlessly, and successfully resisted the enemy.

With 2,000 people to defend Dashun City, such an important fortress, the difficulty can be imagined, and it is self-evident how difficult Jing Silikfu is. What they have experienced in the past month, and how they have survived, others simply cannot understand.

He was familiar with military affairs, and when he witnessed all this, his eyes were full of admiration and approval.

Although Xu Xi said that he was pretentious, there were some things that could never be denied, and when he saw Jing Sili, who was covered in blood and tired but with a firm expression, he said in a deep voice: "General Jing, your merits, this official will already report to the Privy Council and the court truthfully." ”

"It is the duty of the soldiers to protect the family and defend the country, and they should be!" Jing Sili said in a deep voice: "I thought there was no hope, but I didn't expect you to come......" As he spoke, Jing Sili was a little moved, and his bloodshot eyes were already a little moist.

"Soldiers, see it, the court has not given up on us, and the reinforcements have arrived!" Jing Sili stood at the head of the city and shouted loudly, but his already hoarse voice was particularly penetrating.

Prior to this, the soldiers of Dashun City questioned the most about being abandoned by the imperial court. So much so that the belief in his heart has begun to waver, if Jing Sili insists on it and unites people's hearts, maybe something will happen a long time ago.

Therefore, when the reinforcements arrived, Jing Sili first informed the soldiers. One is inspiring, and at the same time, it is not a kind of satisfaction, self-proof in despair. It is useful to insist, and the country that has served its allegiance with blood and life remembers them, at least as a consolation to himself.

Such a sentiment can only be understood by these soldiers who fought bloodily and adhered to the front line of life and death, and it is difficult for outsiders to understand.

Lin Zhao and Seed Master Dao were a little moved when they saw this scene. Especially Lin Zhao, the first time he saw the battlefield, the first time he saw the pride of a soldier in ancient times, and the belief of Jing to serve the country loyally, he was shocked and infected at the same time.

Xu Xi immediately pretended to praise again, and at the same time unceremoniously took Lin Zhaohe's proposal as his own, constantly beautifying and highlighting his image. The sense of self-satisfaction is very good, and it is very special in the overall style of Dashun City.

Jing Sili was moved and asked, "Dare to ask how many reinforcements you have brought this time?" But Li Qingzhou sent troops to help? ”

"A thousand people came in the early stage, and ...... in the back Li Zhizhou will send a large army to the rescue as soon as possible. Speaking of this, Xu Xi seemed to be a little unconfident in his heart, after all, they set off relatively early on their own initiative, and they didn't know how Li Fugui would react.

Now it is equivalent to putting all the bets on Li Fugui, the danger of Dashun City, the life and death of three thousand soldiers, and even the national fortune of the Great Song Dynasty are all passively handed over to Li Fugui!

Jing Sili seemed to sense something, but he kept silent, at least the current situation was much better than before, and he knew that he was satisfied.

"General Jing, what is the situation in Dashun City now? What do we need to do? The planter took the opportunity to ask.

Jing Sili saw that he was coming with Xu Jianjun, although he was just dressed as a small soldier, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said: "The biggest problem is drinking water, the water source has been cut off by the Xixia people, there are so many of us, I'm afraid it's ......."

Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "The water source has been cut off, and the only thing we can do right now is to dig a well to get water." In addition, we must concentrate our current drinking water and distribute it in a unified manner. ”

To be honest, without knowing when the reinforcements will arrive, it is necessary to take precautions, plan for the long term, and use water rationally to hold Dashun City. This is also a last resort, and no one wants to really get to this point!

Xu Xi's expression suddenly became a little unnatural, isn't it, will the situation be so serious? There was a faint feeling of regret in this guy's heart.

The situation was too difficult and dangerous, which made him feel a little retreated, and when there was no way back, he vaguely regretted it in his heart.

At dawn, the sky was not yet bright, and the big tent of the Chinese army in Western Xia was already brightly lit.

To be precise, this has been the case since midnight last night, because of the sudden attack by the Song army, and all the generals of Western Xia gathered here to discuss the matter.

Liang Yi buried his face and said in a deep voice: "Just last night, the Song army actually launched a surprise attack on us, and we had a battalion of soldiers and horses suffering heavy casualties. More importantly, the Song Dynasty reinforcements entered the city of Dashun......"

While speaking, Liang Yizhu stared at some people fiercely, making Ye Lihan's face dull. Although Liang Yibu is said to be the commander, it is nominal after all, and the former enemy general who really commands the battle is He Ye Lihan.

This matter was really his negligence, and the people of the Song Dynasty, who had always been in a weak position, suddenly took the initiative to attack, which was completely unreasonable, and it was understandable that they did not notice it for a while.

Although Liang Yizhu was a little bit of a taste of scolding Huai, Ye Lihan didn't hear it, still bowed his head and didn't say anything, without half a sentence of rebuttal.

As a very direct result, the Song Dynasty reinforcements entered Dashun City. Although the number of observations is not very large, the impact is undoubtedly very serious.

Originally, there were many sieges, and the Song army in Dashun City was about to collapse, whether it was to surrender voluntarily or break the city, it would be easy.

This is also one of the reasons why Liang Yi buried the siege but did not attack, and directly attacked Liyuan Fort! He came to save face with military exploits, and it was pointless to conquer a long-besieged Dashun city.

But he didn't expect such a situation to occur, and Song Jun actually took the opportunity to bite back, which was completely unexpected. I didn't find face, and I continued to lose face.

It's just that Liang Guoxiang wouldn't have thought that it was still the same person who made him lose face!

The strategic significance of Dashun City is very important, and it will be of great benefit if it can be defeated, but the current situation is really a little embarrassing.

Liang Yi said in a deep voice: "What should I do next?" Ming Ri attacks Dashun City? Or how? ”

When things came to this point, it was already a matter of national interests in Western Xia, although Ye Lihan and Liang Yibury had a little disagreement, they didn't dare to slack off.

"Prime Minister, according to the current situation, the last general thinks that Ming Ri will continue to attack Liyuan Fort." Ye Lihan made his own suggestion.

"Why?" Liang Yi asked in a deep voice.

Ye Lihan said: "Although Dashun City has entered the Song army again, it is still a lonely city, and now they are attacking, they can fight back, and we have to pay a lot of price." If the siege is not attacked, the materials in the city are limited, and it is impossible to carry more food and grass supplies in that situation last night, and the more people there are, the greater the consumption, and it will be self-defeating after a long time. ”

Liang Yibury thought about it, this is the truth!

Ye Lihan continued: "And attacking Liyuan Fort will contain the main force of the Song army there, which can prevent them from rescuing Dashun City, and sooner or later it will be under our control." ”

"Makes sense!" Liang Yibury praised and said: "But we have to guard against Dashun City, and go all out to attack Liyuan Fort, if we can take it as soon as possible, it would be the best!" ”

"Yes, don't worry, the Prime Minister will send people to surround Dashun City, and the Song army will do nothing behind our back." This is very easy, Ye Lihan agreed very happily, but how easy is it to take Liyuan Fort as soon as possible?

Liang Yi doesn't care so much, for him, he really needs a victory right now, and he can get back face as soon as possible!

The next day, when Lin Zhao began to dig wells in Dashun City, the Western Xia army launched an attack on Liyuan Fort.

And at this time, Gyeongju Governor Lee Bo-gyu had just arrived with a large army!

This is a tough battle, and the Song Xia army is fighting in Liyuan Fort. The two sides invested a lot of troops, and the battle was quite fierce.

Because of Li Fugui's participation, Western Xia's plan to conquer Liyuan Fort as soon as possible became a luxury. Li Fugui wanted to lead the army to rescue Dashun City, but there were also many obstacles......

When the armies of the Song and Xia countries were entangled in Liyuan Fort, the water in Dashun City became less and less, and some problems became more and more acute!

And far away in Luoyang City in the Central Plains, on the bank of Luoshui, in the comfortable nest of Tianjin Qiaotou, Master Shao Yong is telling hexagrams.

Looking at the hexagram in front of him, Master Shao Yong was very surprised, and after a long time, he muttered to himself: "The lack of water in the five elements, the disaster of Bingge, no, he went to the northwest to investigate the case, how could there be Bingge involved?" Could it be ......"

Master Shao Yong couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and decided to go to his friend Sima Guang to inquire about the latest news in the northwest...... (To be continued.) )
