The main force of the Red Shirts who arrived at Hui'an Fort consisted of only 3,000 men, and they did not set up camp in the traditional way, but sent tracked bulldozers to dig three trenches in two hours to block the cavalry's assault, and the infantry quickly entered the trenches to establish a blocking position, and the cavalry spread out on both flanks, and the reconnaissance airships floated in the air in a zigzag shape to perform battlefield dispatch and fire support.

The Western Xia army on the opposite side is also deploying troops, their way of fighting is more traditional, there is a water source ten miles away from Hui'an Fort, there is a camp, tens of thousands of troops.6 Continue to come to Gulunmu's confidence also swelled little by little, according to reconnaissance, although the other party has some strange-looking chariots, but the strength is not much, only 3,000 people, as long as the fighting method is right, they can still eat them.

Both sides were very restrained, did not take the lead in the attack, only a tentative attack of small troops, drawing a clear line of demarcation between each other, two days passed, Ningxia City's 7,000 heavy armor, the arrival of the cowardly Xue army made Gu Lunmu's confidence get a peak, he now has an army of 40,000, hundreds of catapults, giant bed crossbows, and heavy cavalry with full body iron armor, even in the face of 3,000 powerful and mysterious Han army, he has the certainty of victory.

The sappers of the Red Shirt Army dug deep fire trenches around Hui'an Fort, raised the wall with loess, and temporarily built a lookout with threaded iron pipes in the open space in the center of the fort.

Gu Lunmu sent someone to send a war letter, agreeing to fight in two days, Liu Ziguang readily agreed, in fact, he knew that this was the Mongols playing a delaying strategy, there were two days of time, the other party can gather more troops, and can also outflank their own back roads and flanks, as long as the main battlefield is defeated, then their three thousand people will be unable to escape, but he doesn't care, he is worried that he can't gather the Mongols and annihilate them.

Liu Ziguang was sitting in the tent and was watching the information from the sounding airship, and as expected, the Mongols quietly sent two cavalry to outflank their rear.

The artillery and cavalry are all ready, the artillery is long-range, the mountain cannon is a parabola, and the enemy can't see the cavalry at all, and Liu Ziguang's long-hidden killer weapon is hidden in the carriage of the mechanical mule, not showing his true face, and the battle will surprise everyone when the battle starts.

I was thinking about whether the first wave of shells would be shrapnel or incendiary bombs, when suddenly the chief of the guard, Dai Wenlong, came in and said, "Princess Xiangxiang asks to see you." ”

"Biography." As soon as the words fell, Huo Lingyao swept in with a fragrant breeze: "General, you can't command you like this, the Mongols who will fall into Gu Lunmu's tricks trick tricks with their soldiers, they are delaying time by making an appointment with you, you look at how many tents there are in the camp opposite, how many tents there are today, and if you continue like this, your advantage in weapons will be completely offset by the superior strength of others, you want to kill these 3,000 Ming troops, I don't object, but there are more than 300 people in this camp!" ”

Liu Ziguang frowned and said, "Do you still need your guidance to fight?" ”

Huo Lingyao hurriedly said: "Let me tell you, my father was just like you, and he had to agree to Gu Lunmu's appointment to defeat the battle, so that's it, do you like to listen to it!" The incompetence of the coach exhausts the three armies! Our people who return to the ministry will not be sent to death with you, so we will leave Hui'an Fort. ”

Liu Ziguang slapped the table: "There is only one commander in the presumptuous army, that is me, anyone can make suggestions, but you can't make up your mind for me, let alone act without permission, since you return to the department to fight with our army, you must obey the military order, otherwise the military law will not be tolerated!" ”

Princess Xiangxiang has been pampered for more than ten years, how could she have heard such a harsh reprimand, she turned around and left, but when she arrived at the door, she was stopped by the guards, and the head of the guard, Dai Wenlong, pouted and said: "The handsome didn't say disband, why did you leave?" The barbarian woman just doesn't understand the rules at all. ”

Dai Wenlong is fifteen years old, and he knows some things about men and women, because his sister has not officially married Dashuai, so the young man has an inexplicable hostility towards any woman who is close to Dashuai, and he is even more unpleasant to this group of Hui people.

Princess Xiangxiang was furious, and immediately pulled out her scimitar and was about to resist, but how could her skills be the opponent of Dai Wenlong, who had been taught by famous teachers, but she was the successor of Wudang swordsmanship, and the sword was pulled out with lightning speed, and Huo Lingyao's scimitar () sword blade pointed directly at Princess Xiangxiang's throat.

"Stop." Liu Ziguang stopped Dai Wenlong just right, and then the young man put the sword back into the sheath stupidly, but he still blocked in front of Huo Lingyao and didn't let her out.

Huo Lingyao's two big eyes were watery and full of tears, but the eyes were too big and a lot of tears could not flow, the water source in the wasteland was scarce, and the water ration of each soldier was very limited, only enough to drink every day, Princess Xiangxiang was unwilling to engage in special treatment, and refused the water that her subordinates saved and gave her for cleaning, and her little face had not been washed for two days.

Liu Ziguang said: "It's for your own good not to let you go, now that the Western Xia army has surrounded us, don't you take your clansmen out to die?" We have an oath, and when the war is over, you will marry me, how can I be willing to sacrifice my daughter-in-law in vain? Trust me, we're going to win this battle. ”

Liu Ziguang didn't mention this matter, but when she mentioned it, it touched the sadness of Princess Xiangxiang, she was about to cry when her small mouth was flattened, but she swallowed the cry forcefully, but the tears couldn't hold back, and the two lines of tears burst out of her eyes, and washed out two white passages on her little face, with a look of pity for me, which made Liu Ziguang's heart soften.

A dignified princess is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and she should have been the age of coquettishness in the arms of her father and queen mother, but she was burdened with so many national enemies and family hatred, leading her people to resist the invaders, fighting and killing, and she didn't even have a washing water, and even gave herself away as a bargaining chip, how could she bear such pressure.

Liu Ziguang felt pity for the fragrance and cherished the jade, and shouted loudly, ordered his subordinates to withdraw from the handsome account, and gently stretched out the claws of Lushan, in a vain attempt to rest the girl's head on his shoulder, and give her a warm and wide harbor, who knew that people hated him so much, just put his claws on the shoulders of Princess Xiangxiang, the girl jumped away like an electric shock, pulled out the short dagger on her waist and put it on her throat: "What do you want to do?" You don't want to touch me until you defeat the Tanguts! I know I can't beat you, but if you dare to mess around, I'll die here! ”

Liu Ziguang has always felt good about himself, and wherever he goes, it is the beauties who take the initiative to give him a hug, but he didn't think about it, this time he was deflated, he retracted his arm in embarrassment, reached out and scratched the back of his head, and said with a disguised smile: "Don't be excited, I don't have any malicious intentions, I just want to help you wipe your tears." ”

Huo Lingyao naturally wouldn't believe his nonsense, the dagger was still at his throat, and he retreated out of the tent step by step, Liu Ziguang didn't want to make things too stiff, and said with a wit: "Look at what your face is dirty, I have a lot of water here, you can wash your face and talk about it." ”

At this time, for Huo Lingyao, there is nothing more tempting to her than Qing Shui, I heard that there is Qing Shui, and it is a lot of Qing Shui, her eyes immediately shined, and she blurted out, "Where is it?" ”

Liu Ziguang pointed to the enamel basin next to him: "Isn't this it?" ”

Huo Lingyao saw a white basin on the wooden shelf on the side, which was full of water at first glance, and there was a white towel on the shelf, and a box of orange fragrant pancreas was placed on the shelf, and her dagger fell to the ground at that time, and she opened her mouth wide and muttered: "There is really clear water." "I almost came to my mouth with water.

Liu Ziguang said: "Wash your face, even if Ben Shuai makes amends for making you cry." ”

Huo Lingyao looked at Liu Ziguang and tried to see from his face whether there was any conspiracy hidden here, but she really couldn't see anything from this honest face, so she judged that there was no danger, first picked up the dagger and stuffed it in her arms, and then walked to the basin shelf and washed her face unceremoniously.

The basin shelf is relatively low, and Huo Lingyao's height is slender and long, so he has to bend down to wash his face, so that when he looks at it from behind, he can just see the round little buttocks in the back, and the woman likes to wear tight clothes, narrow sleeves, and finely cut national costumes, highlighting Princess Xiangxiang's small waist and warped little buttocks, showing a beautiful S arc, Liu Ziguang's heart was on fire, and he couldn't help but take two steps forward, just Huo Lingyao saw his movements in the mirror, and hurriedly turned his head and asked vigilantly: "What do you want to do?" ”

Liu Ziguang tried his best to pretend to be a decent gentleman, but the way he swallowed saliva and the fire of lust in his eyes couldn't hide it, Princess Xiangxiang Huo Lingyao didn't even bother to wipe his face, and hurriedly retreated to a safe range, this time he didn't react too violently, but thanked Liu Ziguang: "Thank you for the clear water, I should go back." “

At this time, the noise of the Hui people sounded outside the tent: "We want to see Princess Xiangxiang!" ”

"What do you want to do by hiding the princess?"

"The brothers rushed in to rescue Princess Xiangxiang!"

The answer to them was the voice of the red-shirted gun, "Trespassing on the handsome account is a capital crime, and if you are not afraid of death, you will try it!" ”

Seeing that the conflict was about to explode, Liu Ziguang and Huo Lingyao walked out of the handsome account at the same time and asked, "What do you want to do!" ”

The two questioned in unison, quite a bit of a husband and wife, Huo Lingyao immediately blushed, but this red disappeared, she said calmly: "I just came to discuss the battle situation with the general, what are you panicking about?" ”

It was Meng Dan who led the Hui people to make trouble, he didn't pay attention to Liu Ziguang's question, his eyes stayed on Huo Lingyao's whitewashed face, and he suddenly understood what he was, and his face sank, and he said to his opponent: "Let's go!" ”

"Damn, you are in the barracks, it's your home, you can make trouble if you want? Get it all for me! Liu Ziguang was furious.
