Hexi County.

Under Xiping Pass, Ye Minzhong attacked for two days in a row, and in the early morning of the third day, a military report came from the south that Li Zhi's army was coming!

"How far do they go from that?"

Inside the big tent of the Chinese army, Ye Minzhong looked at the scout who walked into the big tent and asked.

The spy said: "My lord, they are already less than a hundred miles away, and the cavalry will arrive in a blink of an eye, and the infantry will be at most one day." ”

After listening, Ye Minzhong waved his hand and motioned for the scout to step back.

The deputy general on the side was extremely worried: "King, this Xiping Pass has not been conquered yet, and now Li Zhi is coming with a fierce momentum, how should we deal with it?" ”

"The high walls of Xiping Pass are thick, and we lack the equipment to attack the fortifications, so it is difficult to break through for a while."

Suddenly, Ye Minzhong had an idea: "Let's go, immediately pull out the camp and set off and enter Lingyang." ”

"Ling Yang?" The deputy general said: "It's a small county town, and it's hard to hold on." ”

Ye Min Zhong said: "It is difficult to hold on, but we must hold on, if we are attacked by the Holy Dynasty army on both sides, we will definitely be defeated." ”

"Go and give orders, I've made up my mind."

"No."

Lingyang is the first city to the south of Xipingguan, and compared with Xipingguan and Wangcheng, it is slightly short, but there is a city to stick to, it is better than hanging alone.

Two hours later, Ye Minzhong took the remaining 80,000 horsemen to the south and stationed in Lingyang, and then prepared all kinds of equipment for defending the city.

At this time, on the city wall of Xipingguan, Liao Yun laughed: "This Ye Minzhong, a smart person, is confused for a while." ”

"What do you mean by that, General?" Dogan asked.

Liao Yun said: "Although Ling Yang is good, he can only avoid it for a while, and as soon as Li Zhi's army arrives, we can surround the enemy in one fell swoop, and let him grow wings, it will be difficult to escape!" ”

"Lingyang seems to be an excellent place to avoid its edge. However, it is the grave of Ye Minzhong! ”

Lei Yan said on the side: "What General Liao said is right, he still has tens of thousands of elite horsemen in his hands, and he could have fought us to the death, even if we are defeated, we will suffer heavy losses." However, he has to stick to Ling Yang, his tens of thousands of elite horsemen are not good at sticking to it, and Ling Yang will not be broken in a few days. ”

Liao Yun said: "Order, the whole army is ready to pull out the camp and press up against Ye Minzhong's troops." ”

"General Lei, it's up to you to lead the troops to garrison Xiping Pass, what do you think?"

Lei Yan thought for a moment. "Okay, then I'll wait for the news of your triumph." ”

The next day.

Lingyang City, on the city wall, Ye Minzhong has been prepared to be stationed for a long time, and all the things in the city that can be used to defend the city have been moved.

Originally, he was still worried about the lack of food, after all, tens of thousands of troops would cost thousands of deniers of food a day, but when he went to Lingyang City, he took a look. But he was overjoyed in his heart, because there were 50,000 deniers of military rations in the storehouse in the city. That's enough for two months.

Besides, even if there is no more, it doesn't matter, there are still big clans and big families in the city, and it is expected that as long as the army arrives, there will be no food that cannot be taken out if it is slightly frightened.

"The King. It's safe here, but we can't go back to the snowy land. ”

The corners of Ye Minzhong's mouth curled slightly: "What do you know, as soon as we get here, the defenders of Xiping Pass will inevitably press up, and by that time." Xiping Pass will be empty, we only need to wait for the opportunity to break through, go around behind the enemy and take Xiping Pass, and then we can return to the snowy region. ”

The adjutant general said: "But Li Zhi and Liao Yun have joined forces, with more than 300,000 troops, how can we break through." ”

"This king hasn't thought about it yet, but there is no unbreakable encirclement in the world, so I don't believe that they don't have a loophole."

Looking at the deputy general, Ye Minzhong said: "From now on, you only need to defend the city well, and you must not slack off." ”

"Don't worry, the king will defend the city wall to the death!"

In the evening, Li Zhi, Zhao Long, and Qiancang came with an army of 200,000, and when they learned that Ye Minzhong had been stationed in Lingyang City, several people discussed and stationed 100,000 in the south and 100,000 in the east, forming an encirclement of Lingyang City.

The ideas of Li Zhi, Qiancang and others coincide with Liao Yun's, since Ye Minzhong dares to enter Lingyang City, then the city will be fenced, how long can a small city last? When the ammunition is exhausted, it will be the moment of victory.

As for breaking through like Ye Minzhong, this possibility is very small, Lingyang City is besieged by an army of 300,000, how can it escape? Besides, there is still Lei Yan stationed in Xiping Pass, and it is useless to break through.

On the first day, Li Zhijun did not take any action, but was stationed outside Lingyang City, and the camp was also built unusually strong, as well as Martin, Thorns, etc., which were specially designed to deal with cavalry, and then looked at the tall walled gate, it seemed that Li Zhi wanted to fight here for a long time.

In this regard, Ye Minzhong has no choice, all he can do now is to stay in place.

The next day, Liao Yun came from Xiping Pass, where he brought 100,000 elites and left more than 30,000 soldiers for Lei Yan to defend the city.

The 100,000-strong army was stationed in the west of Lingyang City, echoing the military camps of Li Zhi and Qiancang, trapping Ye Minzhong to death.

That night, Liao Yun and Goudan came to Li Zhi's military camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army.

Everyone sat down, their faces were happy, because it was really not easy to finally force Ye Minzhong into such a situation, tonight, a banquet was held in the tent, and all the generals gathered.

"General Li, it's good that you came right away, otherwise."

Li Zhi waved his hand: "General Liao's words are different, the high walls of Xiping Pass are thick, even if I arrive a few days late, it will be no problem, I believe that the general will be able to resist the people of the Snow Region." ”

Qiancang smiled: "Now that we have surrounded Ye Minzhong, we don't have to do anything, just wait for victory; Both of them have made a lot of contributions, so there is no need to shirk it, hehe. ”

"Let's have a meal, I'm hungry for a long time." Pick up the chopsticks and chop them up.

The generals smiled, and their mood was relaxed.

Li Zhidao: "We don't have to do anything now, just besiege it, so from tomorrow, we will all be in place, strictly defend to the death, no matter which direction Ye Minzhong breaks through, our other side will attack his rear army, in this way, we will definitely be able to win a big victory." ”

"General Li is all right, that's exactly what I thought."

Liao Yun laughed and said, "Come on, drink." ”

The crowd drank it all

Imperial capital.

Zhang Meng is already married, what Wang Xu didn't expect was that Zhang Meng either didn't get married, or he wanted two at once.

As early as half a year ago, Zhao Yan and Ye Minyan married Zhang Meng together, with Ye Minyan as the biggest, while Zhao Yan was small, but for this, Zhao Yan didn't care.

At the time of the marriage, Wang Xu personally presided over the scene, and the scene was infinitely grand, and many people envied it for a while.

Today, Zhang Meng came to the imperial study of the palace, and Ye Minyan also came.

"Zhang Meng, your Yulin Army has just been expanded, and you should be training recruits on the school field at this time, why do you have time to come here?"

Zhang Meng and Ye Minyan glanced at each other, Zhang Meng arched his hand and smiled: "Your Majesty, Yan'er said that he wants to be a general, hehe, I hope Your Majesty can do it." ”

To be a general?

Wang Xu looked at Ye Minyan: "Women should be husbands and children at home, why do you always think about fighting and killing?" ”

"Hehe, what am I doing learning kung fu if I don't fight, Brother Xu, you can fulfill me, just make me an official, I won't let you down."

Ye Minyan laughed. (To be continued.) )
