Under the city, the battlefield of the bloody battle between the two sides more than ten days ago has completely changed.

Originally, the moat was filled with the corpses of the people in the city, and after the people were buried, the moat was dug wide and deep, and the water was brought in, and the water rippled lightly.

The original city wall that had fallen into disrepair has been completely repaired. A wall of sheep and horses was built under the city, and people with spears patrolled by from time to time inside the wall. Above the city, the original high and low battlements were all renovated to the same height, like a row of sharp teeth, facing the sky. Every fifty paces, a hanging husk with thick cowhide wrapping hung on the wall without a horse's face, with arrow holes on both sides. It turned out that the enemy tower was also covered with a layer of flags, and flags were raised during the day, and lights were used at night to mobilize and command the defenders in the city.

The city defense has been given a new look, and the biggest change is not just the city defense.

There are two city gates in the north and south, and outside each gate, two small villages are set up to cover the city gates and serve as the starting point for counterattacks. In the Lanshui River valley road that passes between the mountains and leads directly to the west of Taiyuan through Loufu, at least six or seven huge trenches have been dug out. In each trench, a military village was set up to cover it, and strong bows and crossbows were densely spread on the wall. A defense system relying on the city of Loufu has been roughly established, and this road leading directly to Taiyuan has been covered.

The establishment of such a defense system in such a short period of time is almost a miracle in this era. After thousands of catastrophes, the refugees of Elanzhou, all the people in Loufu City, and the people of Taiyuan who have come in an endless stream of these days, have worked hard day and night to support such a huge project.

Compared to before, he was recruited for the government. The people kept fleeing. Or work without effort and only survive until the replacement period. This time, the people are strong, but they all have the strength to eat milk. There is no need to supervise, no need to supervise, I don't know how many people are so tired that they vomit blood and don't go to the construction site. It's just because they know how fierce and tyrannical the Jurchens really are, and they know what kind of tragic scene it will be when they fall into the hands of aliens!

Naturally, the defense system built in such a short period of time has many deficiencies, the rammed earth is not as wet as it is dry, the auxiliary defense facilities are insufficient, the new trees that have been cut down are not in time to be selected, and the height is uneven and crooked. Many watchtowers were swaying and creaking when the wind blew them.

But the defenders in such a defensive system. But it's a real mainstay. Although the more than 2,000 people and horses of the Taiyuan back road camp have experienced fierce battles and suffered heavy casualties, their spirit has been raised to the highest because of the great victory of Lou Annoyance. According to the village, there is really a deep-rooted and unshakable trend. And the soldiers and soldiers in Lou Fu City are strong, and they are no longer a rabble who can fight with the city only by relying on Li Yizhong's personal charm. They have also experienced the baptism of blood and fire, and almost all of them have been absorbed by the Shenwu Victorious Army as a supplementary force, even if the field battle is not enough, but as an auxiliary army to defend the village, they are already unwavering warriors! After a few more battles. After the training of the veterans of the Shenwu Winning Army, even if they are pulled out for field battles in the future. It doesn't have to be!

And in the Taiyuan Prefecture, reinforcements also joined in an endless stream. Han Shizhong's department rode finely, and Yue Fei's department rode on horseback, and they all rushed to come. Not only did they fill up the various military fortresses, but they gradually assembled a rather powerful cavalry group.

Such a defense system, such a strong army. The building is annoying, and it will become deeply entrenched within ten days. When the Divine Guard arrives, join the battlefield. The one who attacked from Lou Fu was a powerful field army with at least 20,000 regular soldiers. On the front line of the cave valley village, Han Shizhong's department still has at least more than 10,000 regular troops. If the Western Army can do a certain amount of cooperation, it will be enough to make a life-and-death battle with the Jurchen Western Route Army!

Xiao Yan also came out of Taiyuan Mansion at this time, planning to inspect the front line of Loufu first, and then go south to welcome the Divine Guard. Rushing to Taiyuan lightly is certainly a must-do move. But one day sooner he can regain the Zhao family's auspicious three treasures in his hands, Xiao Yan will be able to feel at ease one day sooner. Moreover, the battle with Zong Han in this plan is not less than the place where these auspicious three treasures are borrowed!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dozens of Yan King straight armor soldiers have changed into ordinary armor, and under the armor are old robes. Surrounded by Xiao Yan, he stood on top of a hill.

There is a small village on the top of this hill, the watchtower is towering, and the surrounding mountains and rivers are all in the eyes. And there is a solid military village at the foot of the mountain as a support, and a commanding infantry army is guarded in the wall.

This is almost the front of the line of the building. Xiao Yan came here in person, and many people complained that there was no need to be like this. But Xiao Yan smiled and still went his own way.

Xiao Yan also wears ordinary clothes and armor, does not display flags and honor guards, and tries his best not to be conspicuous. But dozens of horses appeared on high places, and everyone was a tall horse. In such a battle, if there is an enemy on the opposite side, how can you not know that the person who comes must be a heavy general in the army, and come to see the military situation?

Immediately high, the sky is mighty, looking around, mountains and rivers, all in sight. The sentry team sent out by Lou Fu haunted the road, pulling out a stream of smoke and dust, and a red helmet jumped in the smoke and dust. Behind him, there is a stretch of deep ditches and high bases, heavy military villages, and thousands of people, who are still in full swing. The chariots and horses of the brigade kept coming from the east like a thin line, replenishing a large amount of grain and grass to the battlefield of Loufu.

And in the west, you can also see the Jurchen sentinel riding haunting. Their will to fight doesn't seem to be too high. There was no outpost sent by the Song army to the east. There is no active challenge. But whenever the Song army approached too closely, they retreated a little.

The sentinels sent by the Song army were also the elite of the Shenwu Changsheng Army and the Dragon Guard Army. He didn't ignore the people, and went too deep to the west. Once the lone army went deeper, the Jurchen Tartars suddenly whistled and surrounded them, which was a gift to the Jurchen Tartars.

The two sides roughly maintained a cavalry power alert. A buffer zone about a dozen miles between the two armies. They patrol back and forth. Occasionally, you can hear each other scolding each other, or shooting an arrow or two. Compared with the previous bloody battle under the city, it was extremely peaceful.

Xiao Yan looked at the qi qi in front of him quietly. Leaning closest behind him. One is Zong Ze. Now he is Xiao Yan's most powerful assistant.

The other is Wei Dagong, Li Zhong died in battle, Li Yizhong died in battle, all like a tiger found out of the corpse pile with only one breath left, and he will not be able to raise it back in three or two months. Wei Dagong also suffered a lot of wounds, although it was not very serious, but he lost a lot of blood, and he couldn't get up from bed for several days. Fortunately, Wei Dagong was young and strong. How much qi and blood tonic decoction is poured down, and after more than ten days, you can actually ride a horse.

His status has also taken a step further, Xiao Yan combined the soldiers and horses of the original Taiyuan back road battalion, plus the soldiers and soldiers in the original Loufu City, and part of the forbidden army stationed in Hedong in Taiyuan City, into the front compartment of the Shenwu Changsheng Army, and the four cavalry commanders transferred by Han Shizhong later were also all allocated to them. Wei Dagong was sent as the deputy commander of the front chamber of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army! Although the commander of the front compartment was given to Du Ruhu, but now he is like a tiger and cannot afford to be hit hard, this new box of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army is now Wei Dagong's decision.

This time, Xiao Yan toured west and south. Yue Fei did not follow. Instead, he trained his military horses in Taiyuan City, and he had to take the Dragon Guard he brought as the backbone. Join the elite selected by the forbidden army stationed on Hedong Road in Taiyuan City, and form a field group with the size of four or five thousand regular troops. At that time, Wei Dagong's department was four or five thousand, and the Dragon Guard Army was four or five thousand, plus the main force of the Divine Guard. It's a heavy army group that attacks from the building. This army is naturally the commander of Yue Fei, and it can also be seen that Wei Dagong has finally come out of nowhere, from an ordinary cavalry commander, to a member of the middle and high-level generals under Xiao Yan!

The path of the young daring generals under Xiao Yan is indeed the broadest in the entire Great Song Army. It is no wonder that these generals at all levels, who are not too old, under Xiao Yan's command, are desperately moving forward in all battles.

Xiao Yan and Zong Ze hadn't said a word yet, their faces were still a little pale, but they were very excited because of Wei Dagong, who had been reused, and couldn't help but say: "King Yan, it seems that the Jurchen Tartars don't want to fight with us here!" Maybe you'll have to turn around and head west! The Western Army has to do not make a force now, and when the Jurchen Tartars and the Western Army are entangled, we will come out from behind, fight the Jurchen Tartars, and the whole army will be annihilated, and the last general will be the vanguard, and Zong Han will be captured and dedicated to the king of Yan! ”

Zong Ze and the Yan King Zhijia soldiers around him glanced at Wei Dagong, but did not speak, they couldn't help but feel that this young general who had made great achievements under Loufu City was suddenly reused, and he was a little forgetful.

In the process of a battle, how could there be such a light and cheap thing in his words. The Western Army and Xiao Yan's headquarters were separated on two battlefields. Even if the Western Army can honestly respect Xiao Yan's orders, it is extremely difficult to cooperate. Time, space, everywhere is a problem. And if they go out from Lou Fu, the Jurchen Tartars will not send soldiers and horses to cover their eastern and rear roads? Since Xiao Yan's words, all those who participated in the planning of this war are all dignified and tireless, walking on thin ice.

Moreover, the edict of the Western Army can only be issued after receiving the imperial driver. It is not known how long the bargaining with the Western Army will take to go back and forth, and there are many variables in between. Although Xiao Yan made up his mind to fight, when this decisive battle would start, and what the result would be, Zong Ze felt quite chaotic and unpredictable.

However, although Wei Dagong's words were too loud, he also said them quite discerningly. Zong Ze followed Xiao Yan to inspect the front line, and he had already noticed that the Jurchen military horses would not necessarily rush to the front line. In the direction of the cave valley village, it is more cost-effective to attack and fight hard than to fight in Loufu. Han Shizhong's department was already very strong, and if the Jurchen Tartars wanted to fight hard, they had to fill in a lot of lives, and even if they did, what could they do? Han Shizhong's troops had withdrawn one by one, and they couldn't outflank the back of the main force of the Shenwu Changsheng Army, and there was still a considerable distance from Taiyuan Mansion. Even if Zong Han is a rural villager, he may not necessarily choose the direction of the cave valley village as the breakthrough.

Since it is not possible to go east, it is not a good choice to continue south. In the case of being attacked on both sides, the battle line will continue to be extended, and the mediocre commander will not do it.

The only thing you can do is to turn around and break through the west first!

After Wei Dagong finished speaking, he felt sonorous and powerful, and also showed his vision of war. However, finding that Zong Ze and the others were silent, Wei Dagong was alert.

Are you too carried away and a little too showy?

Suddenly, Wei Dagong forced a strong laugh again: "The last general is a rough man, and whatever he thinks of is nonsense." Strategizing is not something that such a general can interject. ”

Xiao Yan, who had been staring westward, finally turned his head at this time, glanced at Wei Dagong with a sharp gaze, and said lightly: "You have some truth, why is it nonsense?" In the future, it may be necessary to dominate thousands of armies and horses on its own, and it is up to you to strategize! What do you do to be self-contemptuous? ”

Wei Dagong's face turned red. Not ashamed, but excited!

He had had too little contact with Xiao Yan before, and this time could be regarded as real personal contact. Now I suddenly understand that under the command of King Yan, it is really not heavy on literature and light on martial arts! Wuchen is under the command of King Yan, and he really has to be valued, used, and promising! As long as you have the ability!

Xiao Yan said Wei Dagong casually, and then turned his head back. Look at the mountains to the west and the winding roads between them.

The possibility of Zong Han's westward advance is extremely high, and he will understand it when he goes to the front line. However, even if we understand the enemy's movements, it is not so easy to fight this battle.

When exactly will the Jurchen army move? How will the Western Army, including the Zhejia Army, respond? Will it do it on its own? Can the decisive battle deployment here be completed in time?

Also, can Hebei leave time for himself to calmly fight with Zong Han?

All kinds of piles and piles are all problems, and they weigh heavily on my heart. Although the enemy is slightly frustrated, the wind and waves are rolling, and it is more urgent!

Just when all kinds of thoughts in my chest kept rising and falling. Suddenly, Xiao Yan saw a group of people rushing up the mountain in the distance.

This team of men and horses, also without a banner, is also in a battle of dozens of horses.

But these dozens of horses, just like the Yan King Zhijia around him, are majestic, and they are all rare horses under the seats. Clustered among them was a man of not very tall stature, whose face could not be seen clearly from such a distance, who was also trying to look east.

At least seven or eight miles apart, high on two hills, Xiao Yan and the man both discovered each other's existence.

The man looked at Xiao Yan for a while, and suddenly raised his hand and pointed at it, as if he was greeting Xiao Yan. Then the dozens of horses slowly retreated down the mountain.

Zong Ze and the others beside Xiao Yan also discovered the movement of dozens of horses. Many Yan King Straight Armor soldiers drew their blades and guarded Xiao Yan's side tightly.

Although they were separated by such a distance, those dozens of horses were no threat to Xiao Yan at the moment. But they were all Yanwang Zhijia who rolled out of the pile of dead people, but they could clearly feel the aura of the dozens of horses!

Xiao Yan smiled coldly and whispered to himself: "Zong Han." ”

At this moment, Xiao Yan inexplicably knew who the dozens of horses that he suddenly encountered seven or eight miles away were and who the people surrounded by them were.

Finish Yan Zonghan! He also came east in person to see his own military situation!

Xiao Yan turned the horse and left. At this moment, I am extremely sure. The Jurchen army will immediately turn west and crush the flank western army first. I don't have much time left!

And in Yandi Hebei, there is not much time left for the Jurchen East Route Army to leave for themselves! (To be continued......)

Would love to explode. But when I woke up today, I kept the sound of earwax hanging on my eardrum in my right ear.

I've thought of everything, but it's still like this. The pain is immense. It's so easy to struggle out of a chapter. I had to go to the hospital early tomorrow morning.

For the sake of Oscar, let's support it with a monthly pass............ Please!!
