This sense of happiness didn't last long. I saw a lieutenant running over in a panic, and shouted from afar:

"My lord, it's not good, my lord, it's not good."

"You damn boy, I'm so good, what's the matter with such a fluster?" Brother Ha Li is angry. Let the people below learn more from the Song people, but they haven't learned anything, so they are very diligent to get a girl, but this quality just hasn't gone up.

"What's the matter, tell me quickly!" The adults were angry.

The captain ran for nearly a kilometer in one go, and he didn't catch his breath, and he made Brother Ha Li so fierce that he couldn't say anything anymore.

"We ... Let... Western Xia Army. That one.. That one.. surrounded. "Look at that tired one. But as soon as he stood up in one breath, the adult in front of him fell.

"Your Excellency..."

Lanzhou City, is the new city of the Song Dynasty, speaking of the new construction has been more than 100 years, the new city is only relative to the old city on the side of the mountain, now the new city is closer to the Yellow River, in the military whether it is defense and offense is more advantageous, the moat around the city leads directly to the Yellow River, the stagnant water becomes living water, and not like many cities are as stinky. This new city is larger than the old city, four or five of the original city's size, but the city is empty, and there are only about 100 of the original seven or eight hundred households left, and these 100 or so households are mainly the families of Dajin's officers. This is the westernmost place of Dajin, although the Jin army had hit more Zhangye and Jiuquan when pursuing Yelu Dashi, but the place that was beaten down was given to Western Xia, maybe it is more appropriate to change it to Western Xia. Taizong attached great importance to this Xihe Road, and he completely separated the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty.

Lanzhou is also the golden city, already asleep, not falling in the dark, the moon has not yet risen, far away Lanzhou is like a behemoth in this dark night. It's already two watches in the night, and only a few dark spots on the city wall are still flowing.

East Gate.

"It's too cold on this damn day, why hasn't Wang San come to change the guard, Cheng wants to freeze us to death?" A person said

"They must have overslept, every time they do this, they all have two shifts." A certain B said

"That C, you go down and call for them to come and change the guard." A said to C.

"I'm not going, I'm going to go by yourself, last time you asked me to call, let them beat a few of them, and now it hurts! I don't see any of you asking me to come back to the field. ”

"Alright, well, wait a little longer or more and he'll be there." A certain B said.

"Then let's turn around, it won't be too cold." A certain A.

"What do you see is that?" C yelled

I saw four or five points of fire flying towards the east gate.

"Alert, enemy attack!" There was chaos at the East Gate.

"Go and report to the General"

The firelight got closer and closer, but he saw four or five horsemen, a certain A: "Who is in front of you, what is happening, come from the truth." ”

"Brothers, a certain is Li Qi, the deputy general under Brother Hali, in the evening, Yuzhong City has been surrounded by the Western Xia army, Brother Hali asked a certain person to come to report and ask for support."

"How do you make people believe that what you say is true?"

"I have a handwritten letter from the General."

"Bring it to me?" A hanging basket was placed on the head of the city, and Li Qi put the petition of Ha Lige into the frame, and after a while, the city gate opened, and the five horsemen entered the city gate, and the city gate was closed again.

At this time, General Ha Lisu had already fallen asleep, and these days the concubine gave birth to another son for herself, and now she has eighteen sons and twenty-three daughters, and the fastest growth is in the past three years, growing at a rate of four or five a year, leaving her younger brother far behind. It's the Chinese New Year again, and the subordinates are patting on the back again, and the army at home is busy every night after tomorrow, and Ha Lisu is a little hard.

"Tom, tom, tom...

There was a rush at the knock on the door.

"What's the matter? Three watches in the middle of the night! ”

"The Western Xia army has attacked Yuzhong, Yuzhong has been surrounded, and General Ha Lige has sent an urgent distress document."

Ha Lisu turned over and sat up, others can ignore it, but his younger brother can't ignore it. When did Western Xia have the courage to attack Dajin. Although he only has 2,500 troops here, it is not something that ordinary Western Xia soldiers can gnaw.

He called several of the generals below together to discuss what to do.

"General, I think we should immediately gather soldiers and horses to support and eliminate the more than 1,000 Western Xia soldiers, and one or two thousand people dare to besiege Yuzhong, eating the leopard's gall."

"I don't think so, I know that I have nearly 3,000 soldiers in Lanzhou, and I dare to use 2,000 to surround it, there must be fraud in this, I don't think it's appropriate to send troops at night or wait until tomorrow to find out the situation." Said one of the skinny generals.

"I don't think it's safe to go out of the city at night, and there is no problem with 800 people in Yuzhong to stay for a few days."

Several partial generals and lieutenant generals argued endlessly.

"Don't fight, tomorrow the third watch will make food, the fourth watch will go out of the city, here is also more than an hour away from Yuzhong, it is just morning when you get there, and the enemy is not so early to attack, and you have to make preparations for attacking the city."

"In addition, someone was sent to shrink the 300 people in Xiguzhai to Lanzhou, so that Fujiabao could defend well. Prepare more supplies to defend the city, and everyone cheers me up. Halisu ordered.

"General, how many of us are sent to Yuzhong?" The adjutant asked.

"Two thousand, I'll take 1,000 and 5 horsemen to rush over first, and you will bring 500 infantry to support later. General Awu guarded the city of Lanzhou. Let's go down and prepare. ”

Shimen Fort.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Gao Bao received an order from Gao Zhong to cross the Yellow River before the third watch in the evening, and move to Donggang between Lanzhou City and Dawagou, the task is to cut off the retreat of the Jin army and Lanzhou's support for the Jin army, which is a very difficult task. Facing the Jin Army's horse team and the connection of Lanzhou City. How to block it will test Gao Bao's command ability and the combat power of the Wolf Tooth Army, and test their tenacious will.

Gao Bao handed over the Shimen Bao to the support army formed by the burden, telling them that they could not let a single Jin army cross the river from here, nor could they let the people of Shimen cross the Yellow River and run to Lanzhou City.

With less than 500 people, he rushed downstream to Qingshi Bay. Gao Bao was going to cross the river there, one was far away from Lanzhou and closer to Dawagou, and the second was that the water here was slightly gentler and conducive to crossing the river. The Yellow River here is also a little narrower, only about 200 paces.

The Yellow River has frozen, although it is the Xiaoice River period, but due to the rapid flow of water, the ice is not thick, especially in the center of the river, children are fine, it does not mean that adults are fine, so it cannot be adjusted lightly. This situation is not easy to deal with, without ice. It was possible to cross, but it was not possible to cross it due to ice, so Gao Bao brought some boards to connect the rafts one by one and make a pontoon bridge. People increase the spacing and reduce the pressure on the ice surface.

At last they crossed the river, came to a place where they had been reconnoitred, and waited for the enemy in a hill. In this early spring day, the temperature is still more than ten degrees below zero, very cold, everyone stays up in this dark night, this is a kind of torment, although there are preparations, but wearing cold leather armor, can not sleep in this snow, sleep may never wake up.

In fact, it was not only their team that suffered like this night, but also on both sides of the big depression five or six miles away, and they were also waiting for Ha Lisu's decision.
