In Jinmingzhai, Zhang Chuan was lying on the couch, staring at the beam of the house with his eyes blank.

He is accumulating energy for the night breakthrough and relieving the fatigue of his body, and the best way to relieve his body's fatigue is to sleep hard, but now he can't sleep anything.

Jinmingzhai is not big, and as a transit station for material transfer on weekdays, it has become the last line of defense in Yan'an during the war. Once Jinmingzhai is breached, then the Fucheng of Yan'an Mansion will be completely exposed to the iron hooves of the party.

Zhang Chuan, who was lying on the couch, listened distraughtly to the sound of fighting coming from the head of the Jinming Walled City.

How could his father, and his uncles, most of whom had a few more wounds on their bodies, fighting in the city, and he sleeping in the mansion of the lord of the village? If he had been involved in the defense of the city before that, he would not have been so tired at all when he changed shifts, and he would have fallen asleep with his weapon leaning against the wall of the city wall. But now, not only could he not sleep, but he also hated himself for taking advantage of the sky that his father and uncles had held up for him, and then helping him escape on a dark and windy night.

Runaway, two words, as if magnified, mercilessly mocked his cowardice and cowardice.

Father Zhang Yu said that Jin Mingzhai could hold on for ten days.

But this is just a self-deception, in Zhang Chuan's opinion, at most three days, Jin Mingzhai will not be able to hold on.

Just yesterday, the party members have begun to be able to climb the city, although they have all been killed and knocked down from the city, but it is enough to show that the situation of Jinmingzhai is very bad now. The soldiers had reached the limit of collapse, and in the absence of reinforcements, their morale was worn out little by little. There are not enough arrows at the head of the city, otherwise the party members will never attack the head of the city so easily. There is also the defenders, who would not have suffered a large number of casualties, but suffered heavy losses due to the hand-to-hand combat with the party at the head of the city.

Jinmingzhai only arranged three or four thousand defenders, although the grain and grass were sufficient, but the supply of soldiers was insufficient.

If it continues, I am afraid that it will really only be wiped out.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chuan was annoyed by his incompetence, and he remembered that when he was in the capital, he met the treacherous Li Yun, the stupid Hu Yanzhuo, and the powerful Li Kui. If he had Li Kui's ability, perhaps the party members would not have been able to attack the city at all. It's a pity that he is not, he can only even look at Li Kui with an upward gaze, the kind of existence that transcends mortals is not at all powerful that he can imagine.

"No, you can't do nothing."

Zhang Chuan muttered as the fish jumped up, grabbed his waist knife, rushed out of the mansion, and ran straight to the city.

"Major General!"

Zhang Chuan stopped a soldier and asked, "Where is the general?" ”

"Northside."

Beicheng Tower, Zhang Yu looked at the party army formation in puzzlement, tens of thousands of people stood under the city, the overwhelming momentum, rushing to his face, but what made him strange was that he seemed to feel that the party had changed. He became less resolute, hesitant, timid, and even looked like he wanted to rush home.

Once a soldier has this distraction, any attack will become perfunctory and disorganized.

"Father."

"Why are you here? Didn't I let you rest well in the house and recharge your batteries? ”

"I ...... Can't sleep. Father, let me defend the city with everyone, and I will go to rest after noon, which will be enough to recuperate. On the contrary, now lying on the couch, uncomfortable left and right, it is better to let me help cut down a few party members in the city. ”

Zhang Yu hesitated for a while, then sighed: "Forget it, it's up to you." ”

Zhang Chuan was a little more relaxed, although he knew that he was useless in the city, but he could hardly bear the bleeding of others, and when he was facing death, he was sleeping a lot. And that includes his father, how can this keep him asleep?

Seeing that his father agreed to his request, Zhang Chuan's heart relaxed a lot, he glanced down at the party members under the city, and said with a solemn face: "Aren't the party people still attacking?" ”

"There has already been a fight, and the strange thing is that the party members seem to be not as brave as yesterday, and they actually retreated after fighting."

"This must be a conspiracy of the party members!"

Zhang Chuan made a judgment in an instant, he was still defending the city yesterday, and he clearly remembered in his mind that the party members rushed to the city like crazy, and were beaten down again and again, charging again and again.

Not afraid of casualties, look down on life and death.

This kind of killing intent from the bottom of my heart is what makes people the most frightened.

But after resting for a night, Dad actually told himself that the party members had become weaker, and they were easily beaten away. Isn't this a fantasy and nonsense? Could it be that the party members they met yesterday were fake?

Zhang Yu couldn't figure it out, what was going on with this party member?

The party members are quite stupid, at least in the Great Song Dynasty, which stands at the peak of science and technology and culture of the times, Western Xia has been frantically studying the Great Song Dynasty, but he has always learned to split in key places. This kind of IQ makes people anxious when they look at it. However, in terms of war, the party members have advantages that the Great Song Dynasty does not have, the tactics are ruthless, the soldiers are brave and good at fighting, especially the innate advantages of the cavalry, so that the Great Song Dynasty has always been very passive. Moreover, the Dangxiang people also figured out infantry combat, and in the years of the war with the Great Song Dynasty, the level of the Dangxiang people's siege of the city has also been improving.

However, suddenly, Zhang Yu, the chief general of Jin Mingzhai, found that the party members didn't know how to fight, can this be believed?

Zhang Yu also felt that this was a trick by the party members, but at the same time, he also felt that it seemed unlikely. After all, the level of the party's tactics is average, especially for them to pay hundreds or thousands of casualties to confuse the Song army, it seems that the party's people have not progressed to this point.

Zhang Yu thought about it, but he still couldn't do it, so he simply didn't think about it, and the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, and when he couldn't do anything, he would be loyal to His Majesty.

It's easy to resist the day, it's the night:

"Chuan'er, you have a great responsibility to go to Fushi this time. The high walls of Jinming Walled City are thick, and there is a treasury in the city, so you can eat and wear for a year. The attack of the party members cannot last, as long as you can call in reinforcements, the persistence of my Jinmingzhai will naturally be of great significance. But if I continue to fight alone, it will be difficult to last. You have to know this, ten days, for the father to fight for you for ten days at most, if there are no reinforcements after ten days, I am afraid that even Lord Lu will not be able to bear this responsibility. ”

"Because of the situation, make it clear to all the adults, I don't care how many reinforcements there are, as long as I can enter the city, it is a thousand people, and our army can be relieved."

"Yes, father, the child must tell Master Lu in detail."

It was night, Zhang Chuan climbed down the city full of darkness in the night, he didn't ride a horse, just felt the darkness and full of the city wall away from Jinmingzhai, and disappeared into the night.

After a day of attacking, Liang Yishu, who had just held great power, was dumbfounded, and the army attacked for a day, with more casualties than when Renduo Baozhong commanded, but he didn't even climb up the city.

He couldn't even understand why his army withered first when it was clear that Jinmingzhai was about to break the city?

Don't the soldiers know what the destruction of the city means to them?

The chips given by Liang Yishu were no less than those of Renduo to protect his loyalty, and his property, slaves, and even military titles were not left behind. But why, I can't do it myself?

"Tomorrow, the third watch will bury the pot to cook, the five greater armies will gather, and they will attack after dawn, I don't believe it, this Jin Mingzhai is obviously almost unbearable, why are our warriors not as good as yesterday? If the besieging people have changed, this is reasonable, but the problem is that even the besieging army and people have not changed, so why is it so different? ”

Sitting in the tent, Liang Yishu was puzzled.

After pondering for a while, the general at the bottom said in a low voice: "After our army suddenly withdrew from the Zhuoluo army, morale will inevitably be low. I'm afraid the soldiers think that the commander has given up and is going to withdraw the army, right? ”

When the troops were withdrawn, the marshal went first, and there was certainly nothing wrong with that. But the question is, who said that the troops were going to be withdrawn? When Liang Yishu heard this, he trembled angrily: "Rumors, who is spreading rumors in the army?" ”

"Marshal, there are no rumors, but most of the veterans in the army can see the clues. In the past, it was customary for the commander to leave first. I'm afraid that the soldiers feel that continuing to fight will only increase casualties, and the commander is preparing to withdraw the army, and they are all going home. "This is also the norm on the battlefield, fighting on the battlefield, death in battle is naturally inevitable, but the most unjust thing is probably to die before withdrawing the army, when you are about to go home.

"I ......" Liang Yishu said bitterly, he didn't think about withdrawing the army at all. It's just that now the situation seems to have become a stalemate, and if it continues, morale is getting lower and lower, and if he really withdraws his troops, won't it seem that he is very incompetent?

Liang Yishu finally got an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and watched the credit get farther and farther away from him, how could he be willing?

Touching his chin, Liang Yishu felt that he had been cheated by Renduo Baozhong, others didn't know, didn't he know it? The army fought fiercely in the Song Realm for many days, and suddenly evacuated 10,000 troops, or the elite of the army, if there is still the determination to defeat Jin Mingzhai, it will definitely not do this! And Rindo Baozhong must know the twists and turns, but he just won't tell him, this old boy is very bad. But the problem is that sending away Renduo Baozhong and the Zhuo Luo army under his command is something that Liang Yishu has made about, and he can't even blame others for his resentment.

Keep fighting, morale will fall, and morale will only get lower and lower.

Withdrawal?

I'm afraid that after I go back, I will become a laughing stock in the court.

Attacking the Great Song Dynasty's Yan Yan Road, this is the Western Xia's free hand, and it must hurt the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty. But except for Jin Ming Village, the other fortress villages of the Great Song Dynasty in Yanyan Road are not very important. The purpose was to slow down the danger of the Western Xia's long drive. But Jin Mingzhai is different, if this is broken by the Western Xia, and then negotiate with the Song State, the Western Xia will gain a great initiative.

Hit, and can't beat down; Retreat, but you can't retreat.

Liang Yishu suddenly understood that Renduo's treachery was not a guy he could take advantage of at all.

Let's talk about the stockade of Sanchuankou.

Hao greeted Li Kui with a smile, especially when he learned that Li Kui actually brought the head of two thousand party cavalry, even if the Western army was defeated after this battle, but for the emperor, he finally had a fig leaf that could be promoted. The Western Army was defeated, but the emperor was victorious. Moreover, two thousand heads is really a lot, and several big victories of the Western Army during the Shenzong period are basically like this.

There are also war horses, and two party nobles.

Hao Sui didn't even think about it, so he prepared to give a secret fold to the palace and tell Emperor Zhao Xu how he shared his worries and problems for His Majesty in the northwest. At the same time, I also want to praise Li Kui, after all, this guy can be civil and martial, if it weren't for the people he brought out of the capital, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to make such a great achievement.

"Gao Yu, this guy is a good fate, and he easily got this great military feat." Hao Sui pondered not only to make the emperor feel that the battle was very tragic, but also to show Hao Sui's role in the battle, as well as the courage not to be afraid of death. Hao Sui wrote the secret fold, and began to be silly, when he left the capital, the little cubs in the palace were not very peaceful!

Especially Tong Guan, this guy, can't wait to replace him.

Eunuchs are very sensitive, and would rather think of people badly, worse, than for good.

If Hao Sui makes meritorious service in the northwest, then he should have a knighthood, the official of the sixth rank does not have a title, and the eunuch sits at the head of the sixth grade. In the Great Song Dynasty, only those above the fifth grade had a knighthood. Hao Sui found that when he was a eunuch who didn't take the usual path, he even had a day to glorify his ancestors? When I think of this, it's beautiful.

Once he has a knighthood, he is different from ordinary eunuchs, how can those guys who can only smuggle and shoot horses compare with him?

"Father-in-law, it's not good. Li Zhimi wants to leave Sanchuankou to go to Fushi. ”

The people below suddenly came to report, startling Hao Sui, who was daydreaming, and exclaimed: "This Sanchuankou will have to go to Fushi for at least two days, what if you meet someone from the party?" ”

"Father-in-law, the villain heard that Li Zhimi emptied all the military salaries of the owner of the Sanchuankou Village, and if he didn't leave, he was afraid that the soldiers would rebel."

"It's a big crime, how dare he?"

Hao Sui was so frightened that he trembled, this Li Kui had just entered the city for less than half a day, and he was making a demon, and he didn't let people live a good life? Moving the air salary is a big crime, if it causes a mutiny in the army, Li Kui will be dismissed even if he is appreciated by the emperor again. But after the anger, Hao Sui hesitated: "There is no reason? The two brothers, Chen Qi and Chen Jue, are not very easy to talk to, don't look at them in front of our family, but our family can see from their eyes that they do not respect our family. ”

"It is said that the Chen brothers bought the head of the party member."

The person who spoke was in a dark corner before, and the moment he looked up, it was Nian Xi under Gao Yu.

If the sale and purchase of military merit is found out, it will definitely be a serious crime. But if no one reports it, the court will not care. This is just a rule in the army, everyone plays like this, if you really break the rules, it will make everyone disgusted.

Hao Sui was helpless, packed up his things and ran with Li Kui.

He also wanted to stay, he was even more worried that if the news leaked out, he would have to face the anger of thousands of soldiers whose salaries had been misappropriated, and even if he wanted to be tough, he wouldn't be able to get tough!

On the way, Hao Sui also complained to Li Kui vigorously: "Renjie, you are not short of money, what are you doing with this pickled thing?" ”

Li Kui smiled and said nonchalantly: "I don't know, it's all the soldiers who make their own decisions." ”

After a day's trek, after noon the next day, they could see the high walls of Skin.

The soldiers at the head of the city also discovered this army, and the army led by Li Kui was very fast because of the capture of a large number of war horses, materials, and personnel.

The army of the Great Song Dynasty had never had so many cattle and horses as this army, and the soldiers at the head of the city nervously rang the big bell on the head of the city, and the sound of the bell echoed in the city.

The moment Lu Huiqing heard the bell, he was suddenly frightened, the tea bowl in his hand fell on the mat, and the gorgeous building lamp rolled on the ground, and the corners of his mouth sighed: "Die before leaving the school, and the hero will be full of tears." Old man ......"

Even though Lu Huiqing has seen strong winds and waves, she has to show despair.

Fighting—he won't!

What to do?
