The battle lasted for half an hour, and the Liao people still failed to break through the defenses of the Song army, and when other Song troops rushed to support, those Liao soldiers who lost their courage ran faster than one another. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoSome simply jumped off the wall.

The Song army was once again victorious, Li Wei was very tired, he wanted to sit down and rest for a while, but he knew that he didn't have time, and the Liao State might be about to launch the next round of attacks.

"Quick, carry the wounded soldier down!" The people also came up as fast as they could to do what they had to do, and Guan Huaishan reached out and carried a Song Jun with a broken arm on his shoulder.

It may have been that his movements were too unprofessional and touched the wound of the Song army, and the man screamed in pain on his back. Guan Huaishan whispered: "Brother, brother, bear with it, just go down immediately." ”

Carrying the Song army on his back, he walked down the city wall, and there were already many wounded waiting in front of the door of a military tent. There are only a few in Langzhong, of course, they are too busy.

Guan Huaishan saw that the Song army behind him was bleeding a lot, and he was very anxious, but he couldn't help it, there were also rules among these soldiers, they had to save those who were slightly injured first, and ensure that those wounded could still recover their ability to fight.

The next thing is to save these severed hands and feet, and ensure that they will survive if the war is won. In the end, it was the turn of those who were seriously injured.

Guan Huaishan really couldn't listen to the painful shouts of these soldiers, so he put the people down and left, and then went to the wall to carry the people, and when he went up, he also carried a box of crossbow arrows.

Wait until everything that should be carried is on the back, and everything that should be carried down is carried down. He sat on the ground and never moved again, his body was not very tired, the farmer was used to manual work, but his heart was very tired, and he spent so long in a state of panic and tension, he missed the old days.

Looking up at the sun in the sky, it seemed to be blood-red and a little dazzling. There was a sudden wheezing sound beside him, Guan Huaishan turned his head to look, but it was the county magistrate who was actually lying next to him at this time.

Being able to lie down with the magistrate was somewhat flattering to Guan Huaishan, but then he felt a little frightened, and got up with a grunt: "Lord Zhixian, the villain doesn't know that you are resting here, I really don't know." ”

Zhixian looked at his panicked appearance, and suddenly smiled, at this time he still remembered his identity, and he really arrived home honestly.

Patting the fairly clean grass beside him: "Which Zhuangzi are you?" Come, sit down and talk. ”

Guan Huaishan was very hesitant, but finally sat down: "Fifty miles east of the city, the housekeeper's village." ”

The magistrate nodded: "I know, I have been to that place, a few years ago, the imperial court ordered the opening of wasteland, and the amount of wasteland you opened there is the largest in our entire county, and it is considered to be the best in Hejian Mansion." ”

Guan Huaishan didn't know what to say, he was very cramped and sat beside the magistrate, clearing the wasteland, and he had also fought a lawsuit. It was the first time in his life, and the last. Since that time, he has known that he really shouldn't have the idea of fighting a lawsuit with the landlord.

The magistrate seems to have forgotten about this matter, no wonder, the magistrate is a big man, he has a lot of opportunities, and he has solved countless cases, how can he remember himself?

He kept a distance from the magistrate, so as not to let the clothes on his body stain the official uniform of the magistrate, even if the official uniform was no longer visible.

In normal times, the magistrate would not bother to talk to this kind of pariah, but now he doesn't know what's going on, he just has a stomach to say, and he wants to talk to whoever he catches. In fact, I don't know what to say, I just want to talk.

"What are you thinking about right now?" The magistrate asked.

Guan Huaishan was stunned for a moment, and then replied very honestly: "Master Hui, I was wondering how the steamed bun at noon today became one?" It used to be two. ”

His answer really made Zhixian a little stunned, then laughed, and then sighed: "Hey, it's better for you people, you don't want to think about anything when you're full, even if you die here, it doesn't matter." But I can't do it, master, I still have seven concubines at home to take care of, if I die, what should they do? ”

Guan Huaishan didn't know how to return to this question, but he thought in his heart: "If you give me a seven-room concubine, I'm willing to let me die now." ”

"The Liao people are here!"

As soon as the topic of Zhixian was opened, a shout came from the wall, and Guan Huaishan hurriedly stood up: "Master, let's go, it's not safe here." ”

Zhixian tried hard to support his body, which had lost more than ten pounds but was still obese, but he was so tired that he had just moved a few palms to the city, and now he had no strength in his arms.

"Pull me along."

Guan Huaishan hurriedly pulled up the county order, and the two of them went all the way to the camp tent set up by the Song army for them. The tent was between two large trees, and the trunks of the trees were used as support to build planks against the stones and arrows that flew into the city.

Seeing that the magistrate was coming, the county magistrate immediately came over, quietly pulled the magistrate aside, and whispered: "My lord, General Xu asked you to prepare some manpower and start digging a hole from here." ”

After hearing this, the magistrate immediately asked, "Is he going to run?" Can't you hold it? ”

His tone was a little panicked, because although the magistrate would not fight, he saw the current situation very clearly, if the Song army could not hold on, it would not be easy to escape from the hooves of the Liao people with their two legs, let alone run with him, even if he was the magistrate.

After hearing this, the county shook his head: "No, General Xu Huaide said that the materials and troops in this military camp have been exhausted, and the soldiers are too tired from continuous fighting, so he asked us to dig out a few underground passages leading to other military camps, so that we can get materials from other military camps and mobilize their troops there." ”

After hearing this, the magistrate let out a long breath: "Okay, dig it right away, you must be fast!" ”

Digging tunnels is easy to say, but it is actually an extremely physically and time-consuming project, and the key point is that although there are thousands of people, only 20 or so can dig in.

There are no modern machinery, and some underground rocks or something have to be detoured, so although there are only 500 meters between it and the nearest camp, according to those people, there is not a month not to think about digging tunnels.

There is also one of the most critical problems is that the Liao people outside are also digging tunnels, thinking that they can dig here, if they happen to meet the tunnels of the Liao people, it is equivalent to doing the other party a great favor.

Xu Huaide knew this, but he still let the people start digging, because this was the only way he could hold on now.

Yelu Hongji on the opposite side is like crazy, not only fighting during the day, but sometimes fighting at night, which makes all the Song troops in the city, both mentally and physically, in an extremely tired state, maybe when this camp will be broken.

I may not be able to wait for a month, but I have to try to do it.

In February of the third year of Huangyou, at this time, the war of Song Liao had started for twenty-eight days, Chen Yuan's troops arrived at Hejian Mansion, and when he saw Ren Fu, Chen Yuan's first sentence was to ask Xin'an about the current battle situation: "General Ren Fu, is Xin'an news now?" ”

Ren Fu's face was very calm: "No, the cavalry of the Liao people has blocked the water around there, and before the master of the horse came, there were only 30,000 troops available in the hands of the last general, and the rest of the men and horses had to be stationed in other military camps, so they didn't dare to go rashly." The last general tried to send someone to sneak in, but to no avail. ”

After hearing this, Chen Yuan nodded: "Okay, it's very good." How strong are we there? ”

Ren Fu opened the map of the Xin'an area: "Lord Ma, please see, Xu Huaide originally had 30,000 defenders there, although the sneak attack of the Liao soldiers was defeated by him, but he himself suffered more than half of the casualties, judging from the reported figures, there should be more than 12,000 people." At the same time, Xiao'er led the army to reinforce, but he was also trapped in Xin'an, with more than 24,000 troops, plus Xin'an Zhixian County with some rebels were also there, with a total strength of more than 40,000. ”

Chen Yuan was a little relieved after hearing this, and Ren Fu then asked, "Master Horse, how many reinforcements have you brought this time?" ”

"What? Didn't the emperor make it clear in the urgent letter to you? ”

Ren Fu shook his head: "No, long live just said that there are reinforcements." ”

Chen Yuan thought that this was because Renzong didn't write things too clearly on the letter for the sake of safety, and stretched out five fingers at the moment: "Fifty thousand." Time is in a hurry, and Banzai can only send 50,000 people to me. ”

Ren Fu's expression was obviously a little disappointed, but it was over immediately, but Chen Yuan could see it clearly and knew why he was like this.

"The general's son is also trapped in Shin'an?"

Ren Fu's expression was stunned for a moment, and he nodded: "Yes, he didn't come back after the last time he went to the rescue." ”

He only had this one son, and when he received the news that Xin'an was besieged, the twelve generals who had been his own soldiers had to go to reinforcements. But Ren Fu stopped them.

Chen Yuan saw Ren Fu's appearance and patted Ren Fu's shoulder.

He originally wanted to say a few words to comfort Ren Fu, but then he felt that it was completely unnecessary, if it was to comfort those wives in his family, it would still be useful, but for Ren Fu, a general, this was just a comforting word.

"When I came, I received a battle report from the thin line, Marshal Mu Guiying's troops were divided into three ways to kill the Liao State, if the war went well, the Liao people would not be able to hold on for much time."

Ren Fu knew that at this time, this was also the best way to save Xin'an and save his son. If Mu Guiying can approach Yanjing of the Liao people tomorrow, Ren Fu is willing to kowtow to Mu Guiying and be her son.

Chen Yuan didn't say any more nonsense, looked at a room of generals and said: "Everyone, I don't have you in the war, and all the reinforcements I brought this time will be handed over to you for command, but please remember that the mission of Hejian Mansion now is to carry the Liao [***] team, don't let them threaten the Jing Division, I can assure you that the offensive of the Liao [***] team will definitely stop within two months." As for what you plan to do, let General Ren Fu tell you. ”

After he finished speaking, he stepped down from the seat of the chief general and waved his hand: "General Ren, please." ”
