Yang Yi's victory in Qingping Pass, greatly inspired the heart of the Huanzhou army, and then the resistance battle, but the fight was thrilling, it is said that although the Song army suffered great casualties, but annihilated countless enemies, the 150,000 army of the Empress Dowager Liang was dragged for a day and a night.

Out of great trust in Yang Yi, although the people in Huanzhou City were very nervous, they did not panic too much.

Except for those strong men in the city, almost all the people in the city took action spontaneously, helping to dig trenches, build city walls, move stones, transport equipment, etc., and were in full swing.

The outside of the city was dug out of shape, and the trenches were like spider webs, in fact, these were of little use, Huanzhou was short of troops, and in the face of hundreds of thousands of Xia troops, it was impossible to use these trenches as peripheral defensive positions.

But the people still dug it, the Xia army is coming, it always takes some time to fill the trench, and it is good to be able to hold the Xia army for a while now.

The morning mist has not yet dissipated, and three women came to the busy city, although they were all dressed in cloth and hairpin skirts, but they did not damage the beauty of the fairy at all, and the morning breeze blew their dresses, so beautiful that people did not dare to look at them.

There was no one in the city who did not recognize these three people, and everywhere they went, the soldiers and civilians saluted and greeted each other, and their love was beyond words.

"You don't have to be polite, the military situation is urgent, let's step up the deployment of city defenses!" Thirteen Niang watched while walking, and greeted the people without being polite.

Qing Niang walked in front to protect her, and from time to time reminded Thirteen Niang to pay attention to the things under her feet, and when she was a little empty, her eyes did not forget to look north, and her clear eyes were full of anticipation.

"Qing Niang, we're here to check the city defense, you! Don't look around. "Thirteen Niang said that, in fact, she was not extremely worried in her heart, Empress Dowager Liang had a full army of 150,000, and Yang Yi brought a few thousand people, although the first battle was successful, but the gap between the two sides was so big, how could people rest assured?

"Sister Qing'er, when will Brother Yang come back? People really can't rest assured, or let's let Xiaobai send him a letter again! Qing Niang simply stopped, holding the city plate and looking north, it was really provocative, in the city!

"Don't, the official is fighting in the front, we can't distract his mind, okay Qingniang, let's go and have a look, arrange the city defense better, and after the official comes back, he can also use it to fight against the Xia army." Thirteen Niang broke away from Ming'er's support, stepped forward and took Qingniang into her arms, and comforted her softly.

"People also know that they shouldn't distract Brother Yang, but people are really worried, Brother Yang has so few others......"

"Qingniang, don't forget, didn't there be fewer others last time? Didn't you come back safely from Western Xia? ”

"Hmmm! Brother Yang is like a god with soldiers, and he will definitely repel the Xia army! Absolutely! Qing Niang clenched her little fists, as if she was cheering for Yang Yi and comforting herself.

The three of them walked for a while, and saw that Su Shi was also at the head of the city, and the two obstructive hat wings on the official hat were taken off by him and used as a baton in his hand.

Under his command, the strong men were working together to carry the logs up to the city. His slightly spotted sideburns were wet with sweat, and the little concubine Wang Chaoyun stood next to him with a food box, and he didn't bother to take a bite.

Yang Yi is not there, he is the largest official in Huanzhou City, resettles the people who have avoided the city, assigns food and lodging, consolidates the city defense, regulates security and guards against spies, there are countless affairs large and small every day, Su Shi has to block them one by one, this time Yang Yi is in the front, and the rear is all up to Su Shi and Mei Zhengqing, if you talk about credit, they have to account for half.

Thirteen Niang and they hurriedly went up to say hello, Wang Chaoyun was in his early thirties, dressed plainly, she was very beautiful, and she was full of the charm of a mature woman.

She and Thirteen Niang are also familiar with each other, when they came to Huanzhou together, Yang Yi and Su Shi's friendship was not salty or light, but it did not prevent them from interacting with women, after all, in a border city like Huanzhou, there are not many people who can have a common topic with them.

Thirteen Niang saw that Ding Zhuang placed the wood along the root of the wall, and suddenly remembered the winch used in the salt well, and hurriedly asked people to find craftsmen, explain it carefully, let them make more winch, and then fix it on the city wall, tie the rope to the wood, and after the enemy smashes the wood down when attacking the city, you can use the winch to twist it up and use it repeatedly.

If it is pulled up by manpower, it takes several strong men to work together, and with the winch, two people can easily twist the wood up, which not only saves manpower, but also saves physical strength, and is extremely beneficial to defense.

After listening to the explanation and understanding the principle, Su Shi immediately dispatched craftsmen to make a large number of them, and he was really full of praise for Thirteen Niang.

In the past, when guarding the city, relying on manpower to pour grease down, naturally it couldn't be poured far, in response to this, Thirteen Niang asked people to make some giant jet cylinders.

This kind of jet barrel is nearly two zhang long, which can store a large amount of grease, and the barrel body has a small opening to facilitate the injection of grease into the cylinder;

After filling, it is then closed, and the nozzle is also closed first, and then opened when it is necessary to spray, and when several people work together to push the piston rod, the grease can be sprayed ten feet away. It works well against giant siege engines that deal with enemies.

In the past, to deal with those huge siege vehicles, it was often by smashing them with catapults, but catapults did not have the slightest accuracy at all, and whether the stones could be hit or not depends on the will of God.

Now with this kind of jet canister, the siege vehicle can spray you with oil only 30 meters away, and then use the bed to shoot rockets and nail it to it, even the iron sheet can make you burn.

Don't look at the thirteen mothers who are weak and can't help the wind, you can be an army of ten thousand when you go to the city and walk around. For this beautiful and kind Mrs. Zhizhou, both the military and the people are all respectful, and her words are more effective than military orders.

***

After Yang Yi entered the Huanzhou, the importance of the Huanzhou army to intelligence was definitely ranked first in the Great Song Dynasty, like this time 10,000 horses, and actually sent a thousand scouts to scatter and search, which is unimaginable in other armies, although these scouts are not necessarily good at horse warfare, but you can ride a horse and gallop on the line, to find out the news.

It is precisely because of the powerful scout net that Chong Pu not only knows the situation in Huanzhou, but also knows that Liu An was defeated and retreated to Suide, and Yongle City became a grain and grass transfer station for the Xia army, etc.;

He Langluo set up an ambush near Kerong Village, and Wei Mingbabu came from the west of Kaiguang Fort to prepare a sneak attack, and it was even more impossible for him to hide from him.

He Langluo waited left and right on the east side of Kerong Village for ten miles, and did not see Chongpu coming, and finally the scout came to report, saying that Chongpu did not even enter Kerong Village, and was turning around and running back.

He Langluo was in a hurry, it seems that Chong Pu must have detected his movements with Wei Ming's Baa Bu and scared away!

It's no wonder that he and Wei Mingbabu have a total of 50,000 troops, and there are only 10,000 in Chongpu, who doesn't run!

Thinking of this, He Langluo immediately set up an army in pursuit, and as a result, an ambush battle turned into a pursuit battle.

After chasing out more than ten miles, I saw some banners and armor abandoned by the Song army, and after chasing out a few miles, I saw that the Song army was in a scattered formation, and the situation of losing the armor was even more serious.

Looking at the nearby terrain, there is the Dali River on the left, the woods on the right, and the valley in front, and the general Gan Xian hurriedly persuaded: "General He Langluo, the ground ahead is complicated, be careful that the Song army has an ambush." ”

He Langluo listened to the advice, so he had to stop the pursuit and send scouts to investigate first.

After a pillar of incense, the scout reported that there was no ambush, Gan Xian was still a little suspicious, and He Langluo also cautiously led the army over.

As a result, there was really no ambush, and I couldn't help but be very annoyed, if I chased in just now, the Song army would have to be finished.

Soon there was a scout report, saying that the Song army was crossing the Dali River five miles ahead, He Langluo hurriedly chased up, the water here is shallow, only there is no horse's belly, after the Song army crossed the river in a mess, it was running wildly and fleeing. Swords and guns were thrown all over the ground, and ten miles from the river were the undulating mountains and lush forests, and the Song army was running there desperately.

This time, He Langluo really believed that the Song army had fled, so at least half of the Song army had lost their knives and guns, and they didn't even want knives and guns, you bite me?

He Langluo did not hesitate any longer, and immediately waved his army across the river to chase and kill.

Hurry up! Once the Song army fled into the dense forests of the mountains, it would be in vain.

As a result, when the Xia army was halfway through, the Song army suddenly turned around and killed it back, it doesn't matter if you don't have a knife or gun, the times are different, you don't have to have a sword or a gun to fight, I don't bite you, I'll blow you up! Who doesn't have a few grenades pinned to their waists, who made you He Langluo not see clearly?

The Xia army was in the middle of the crossing, and was suddenly killed by the Song army, the Song army was in a group of several people, one held a shield to block the arrows, one was assassinated with a gun, and two were responsible for throwing grenades.

The Song army has no formation, but this kind of cooperation in groups of several people is more flexible, and dealing with cavalry that does not raise speed is like a sand tower infiltrated by water, making you unable to defend against it, and it can crush you down at once.

The Dali River with no horse's belly became the cemetery of the Xia army, thousands of people and horses rushed back, people crowded with horses, the Song army chased after and slashed, and soon the whole river was dyed red, and the river was blocked by the corpses and horses.

Here, He Langluo watched Song Jun slaughter one-sidedly, but he couldn't help it, he was almost stupid, did he fight like this? Is it okay to have no knives or guns?

Beautiful breeders, fierce breeders, weird breeders.

He Langluo really understood the benefits and disadvantages of the legendary breeder, thinking that at the beginning, Agulu didn't even see the Song army, so he left 10,000 troops behind, and fled back to Western Xia with his bare buttocks.

Thinking about it again, Brother Yeli Jie also didn't see anyone, so he was planted and built a summer harvest overnight, and he also escaped from Xining Village.

I really saw Chongpu this time, and it was lucky to throw down a thousand people.

In this defeat, although He Langluo's troops were still twice as many as those of Chong Pu, looking at the shocked faces of his subordinates, He Langluo also had to order a retreat with hatred, ready to rest and recuperate before making a comeback!

Nearly 1,000 enemies were killed in the first battle, which did not reduce the worries in Chong Pu's heart.

In fact, his 10,000 horses can only play a role in leading, and cannot really solve the siege of Mizhi, once the city of Mizhi is broken, Renduo Baozhong can drive straight in, and the whole territory of Yanyan Road may still fall.

In that case, there will be a great possibility of an avalanche in the entire northwest war situation.
