【2nd Update】

As long as you know a little about military affairs, you will know how amazing the speed of the Yinzhou defenders is to send troops.

This could not be that they expected in advance that the Song army would send troops to Luo Wu at the beginning of the first month, otherwise Luo Wu City would not have been attacked so easily - from Suide to sixty miles in one fell swoop, on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, it was regarded as crazy talk, and it was spread for a long time, except for some well-connected and well-informed officials, not many people really believed it.

Judging from the reaction of the western thieves in Yinzhou, it only took them half a day at most to mobilize troops and horses and prepare equipment from the time they saw the beacon fire on Luo Wu City, received the news that Luo Wu was attacked, and began to send troops. The speed of this dispatch of troops was so fast that every general of the Song army was amazed, and it was no wonder that there were not many troops stationed in Luowu City, and there was no expansion - it was enough to have the support of Yinzhou.

If Luo Wu was not captured by surprise this time, as long as the defenders could hold the city for half a day to a day, the reinforcements from Yinzhou would be able to easily defeat the attacking Song army under Luo Wu City.

Chong Jianzhong secretly rejoiced, fortunately, in order to take Luo Wu City, he did not do less in advance, and piled up the wine in the warehouse, but the Hui Yi caravan of the Chong family continued to give gifts.

At this time, the seed was already in the main tent in the city to issue an order arrow, "Gao Yongneng! You lead the headquarters of 3,000 light soldiers to Matogawa, be sure to stop the capital of Rome first, the commander leads the Chinese army, and then arrives! ”

The lieutenant general of the plant said in a loud voice, and took the arrow with both hands. Soon, the high-character general flag galloped north under the cluster of 3,000 horsemen.

Gao Yongneng first went to intercept the enemy reinforcements, and on the side of Luowu City, more than 2,000 people had already arrived in advance, and they were scattered to a predetermined place, and began to dig the land and build a camp around Luowu City. Including the possibility of the enemy troops breaking through the forward line of defense at any time has been expected. The first goal now is to intensify the construction of the initial fortifications of the city in accordance with the plan for the expansion of the city, so that it can be used as a temporary garrison and defensive camp.

The army was racing against time, and the people did not need to be pressed, shouting trumpets and waving the iron pickaxes in their hands on the frozen land, and stepped up the construction of fortifications. Half of the soldiers started work with the people, and the rest did not participate in the construction of the camp, but were conserving their strength, waiting for the order to come to the plant, and go to support Gao Yongneng who was going north at any time.

He paced quickly in the main tent, and the head of the original Luo Wu guard was not interested in taking a look, and measured the diameter of the big tent with his feet over and over again. While waiting for the news from the front, he urged to speed up the construction of the camp.

Half a day later, the fortifications on the periphery of the camp had begun to show their success, and he left a guard of soldiers and horses, and continued to strengthen the defensive line, and he gathered soldiers and horses, ready to go north to support Gao Yongneng. But at this time, a detachment of cavalry marched from the north with its banner held high.

It was not the soldiers of Western Xia, but the people that Gao Yong could bring. They chanted victory in front of the camp and told everyone the good news of victory.

Gao Yongneng had already defeated the Western Xia reinforcements who were about to cross the river in Mahuchuan!

It is said that there are more than 10,000 enemy troops to come to help, and Gao Yongneng can break 10,000 cavalry and behead more than 100 - of which the beheading is a real number, and 10,000 reinforcements may be an exaggeration, according to the knowledge of the species, the standing force in Yinzhou City is no more than 10,000. It is impossible to bring out all of them, although he can still levy tribal troops, but at the speed of Duromantail's troops, there will not be time for him to mobilize the surrounding tribes.

According to the estimation of the planters, the enemy army engaged with Gao Yongneng was about six or seven thousand people. And being able to use 3,000 cavalry to defeat twice as many pure cavalry troops, and can also win more than 100 ranks, the value of this victory is actually no different from Gao Yong's good news.

"But that's it! But that's it! ”

The seed was in the camp and laughed. During this period of time, the pressure on him was too great, not only the Son of Heaven, Han Jiang and the court were watching his actions, but the soldiers below and the colleagues around him were also staring at him. The people who believe in him give him pressure, and the people who deny him also give him pressure, if Luo Wucheng doesn't stop, he wants to turn over again, but he doesn't know that he will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.

Chong Ge has always had a confident attitude in front of Han Jiang before, but there is always a little uneasiness in his heart, which is also human nature. Fortunately, this battle was successful, as long as Luo Wu can be defended next, then his position in the army will be unshakable.

As the night came, the scouts came back with the latest news. Du Romewei has just set up a position in Lishengping and defended himself.

"Still waiting for an opportunity? …… Find three women's clothes and send them to Du Luowei, if he dares to fight, he will fight tomorrow in Lishengping. If you don't dare, you can simply wear women's clothes and go back to Yinzhou. "He did not leave the slightest face to the enemy's commander, and he was now hoping that the Privy Council of the Western Xia Kingdom, in a fit of rage, would agree to a decisive battle.

However, he was not too negligent, he called the general in charge of the peripheral reconnaissance, "Lu Zhen, you lead the people of the headquarters to keep a close eye on the tail of the capital, and report any changes immediately, there must be no mistakes!" ”

I slept indiscriminately for a while, and when it was the fourth watch of the next day, I couldn't wait for Du Luowei's reaction, and was about to send someone to test it again. The scouts sent back by Lu Zhen conveyed even more surprising good news - a gust of wind blew at the Lixiangping at the mountain pass, and the scouts sent by Lu Zhen only shouted a few times with the wind, and the party members shouted, "The Han soldiers are here!" Then he fled back to Yinzhou.

Although he did not think that Du Rome was capable of defeating him, he saw that his opponent, who had made him tremble, defended to the death, and was on the verge of a great enemy, was broken up by a strong wind and a few playful shouts that were common at the mountain pass. In addition to being able to think of the rumored former Qin Fujian, Chong Ge's judgment of the combat effectiveness of the Western Xia Army has made a bigger discount.

"It's completely frightened birds...... Chong Pu also took the wine glass and smiled at his cousin: "The western thief is finished, even the commander who guards the important county of Yinzhou is this virtue, and the guards in other regions are not much better." The light revivs the spirit and destroys the Western Xia, I'm afraid it will be in a few years! ”

……………………

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Han Gang finally arrived in Yanzhou.

From the capital to this important border town, Han Gang and his entourage walked for half a month. When the Chinese New Year's Eve firecrackers sounded, he was in the inn in Hezhong Province. The dense firecrackers reminded Han Gang that day that he had not been at home for the New Year for two consecutive years. If you count the time spent studying abroad by the predecessor, it will be doubled, which is as much as four years.

However, Wang Shao was entrusted first, and then Li Xiaoliu was sent back with news, so the parents at home should not worry too much about themselves. I just don't know how Lu Dao Suxin and Yun Niang will react after hearing about Zhou Nan. Han Gang only hoped that the gifts he asked Li Xiaoliu to bring to the two girls would prevent them from becoming too jealous.

This worry lasted until he arrived in Yanzhou City. Han Gang sometimes thinks that it is indeed troublesome to have too many women. If you can use concubines only as a tool for entertainment like the scholars and doctors in the world, there will not be so many things to worry about. But if he really did this, he wouldn't let the third girl fall in love with him.

Outside the city, looking at the rivers and mountains of Yanzhou, Han Gang had a feeling of vicissitudes.

This is not the first time he has come to Yan'an, although there are some problems in the time span, and the building does not have a trace of a thousand years later, but fortunately, the location of the mountains and rivers has not changed much. Famous places such as Pagoda Mountain and Yanhe River can be found at this time.

At the city gate of Yanzhou, Han Gang asked Qian Mingliang to reveal his identity to the soldiers defending the city.

Seeing that the officer guarding the city gate suddenly became respectful after hearing his name, Han Gang was half surprised and half overjoyed to find that his reputation had spread in Yanzhou, which was thousands of miles away from Qinzhou.

When Han Gang and his entourage passed through the city gate and drove into the city. A soldier asked the gatekeeper, "Who is that officer?" Where did you get such a big shelf? ”

"How do you have long ears, haven't you heard that Han Xianggong is going to invite Sun Zhenren's disciples to Yanzhou these days? That's Han Xianggong connected two copies and personally begged the official family! ”

"Ahh It's Han ......"

"Shut up, that's what you can call names!? Han Xianggong will not necessarily call him by his name directly. ”

'How is that possible! The conversation between the two was sent by the wind, Han Gang smiled self-deprecatingly, the people in the lower classes will take rumors seriously, but for Han Jiang and other prime ministers like extremely human ministers, he is just a candidate, but he is only a little capable.

There are still a few days before Shangyuan, and the first month has not passed, and this New Year's Festival is not over. But the sound of firecrackers in Yanzhou City is sparse, and it is even more deserted than the several county towns that Hangang has passed. When he walked into the city of Yanzhou, he saw groups of people, escorted by some cavalry, out of the city from the north gate one after another.

It's already begun......

Han Gang had already heard the news of the victory of the cultivator in Luowu City, and he was on the way when he saw Lu Bu Feijie's hurried footsteps. The messenger on a fast horse, with a long curtain behind his horse, was full of good news about the city of Luowu. From town to town, the news of victory spread like a dandelion blown by the wind to the city of Tokyo.

The success of capturing Luo Wu was predicted, and the next situation to face was the key to determining the victory of the most rear. Han Gang still maintained his earlier opinion and was never optimistic about the final result of the Yokoyama Raiders.

I went to the post house first and settled Zhou Nan and the others. Han Gang went to the Shuaifu alone and handed over the name card to the little official guarding the door.

The little official seemed to have heard Han Gang's name, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he didn't put on the attitude of the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, but hurriedly went in to report. Han Gang was waiting in the foyer, and a person strode in, and it turned out to be an acquaintance with him - Wang Wenliang.
