Yang Tinghe hurriedly ran to Yazhu, but after entering the Yazhu Hall, he did not see the Feng Lord. So he has been sitting in the Yazhu Hall and waiting.

At dusk, there was finally movement in the room with bamboo curtains in the hall. I only heard Lord Feng say: "I heard that you are very anxious to see me, what happened?"

"Lord Feng, Jiangxia...... Jiang Xia executed Yan Song to Ling Chi. Eighty-nine knives were cut in public, and after Yan Song died, he trampled his corpse into meat paste with a war horse. ”

"I know that. Yan Song's stupidity, knowing that the enemy still dares to do that kind of thing, is not a pity to die. Feng Zhu said.

"But......" Yang Tinghe was a little unwilling, and seemed to be a little nervous. He said: "Lord Feng, Jiang Xia, I know that Yan Song is my person, but he is still so ruthless, he clearly doesn't take me seriously.

Now on the side of Ningxia Zhongwei, the soldiers and horses of Jingying, Shaanxi, and Suzhou all regard him as a god, and I am afraid that even if he hands over his military power in the future, these soldiers and horses will obey him.

In addition, if he really defeats the coalition forces of Turpan and Warat, then according to the agreement, we have to serve Jiangxia as the greatest, and let him sit on the throne.

At that time, he will grasp political affairs and military affairs, and I am afraid that there will be no place for us to stand in the DPRK and China. ”

"There is no place for us to stand in the court, is there anything wrong with this? You remember, if Jiang Xia successfully retreats from the enemy, when the class master returns to the court, you will immediately fulfill your promise and let him sit in the position of ruler.

Not only that, but you also have to remember to have a good relationship with him and not be bad with him anymore. Support all the decisions he makes, if you can try to publicize his achievements in the Jingshi as much as possible, and create a good reputation for him. ”

"Lord Feng, my subordinates don't understand why we are doing this. ”

"You don't have to understand, as long as you persist for three or five years, then you will understand if I don't say anything. Go ahead, just do what you say to me. ”

"Yes!" Yang Tinghe replied, got up and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Lord Feng said: "By the way, the Liu Liangnu you recommended has begun to take charge of Fengtang, she is very good, you didn't see the wrong person this time." ”

"Yes. That's good......" Yang Tinghe frowned slightly.

Thinking of Liu Liangnu, he subconsciously remembered the corpse of "Uncle Xiang" that was eaten by snakes, insects, rats and ants, leaving only a pile of white bones and a little bit of flesh and blood.

Thinking of the corpse, Yang Tinghe felt a little chilled.

I want to have been in the officialdom for many years, and I didn't instruct others to do murder. But like Jiang Xia, he put people to death alive, or like Liu Liangnu, he let snakes, insects, rats and ants gnaw his corpse.

He had never experienced such a cruel punishment.

Yang Tinghe couldn't help but feel that he didn't seem to be as ruthless as Jiang Xia and Liu Liangnu.

When Yang Tinghe left, the phoenix lord behind the bamboo curtain shook his head and said to himself: "The older a person is, the less courage he has. ”

Ningxia Zhongwei.

Today's Ningxia Zhongwei has experienced the last incident, in Yang Tinghe's words, that is, Jiang Xia is worshiped as a god.

In the past, morale was sluggish, and military discipline was sloppy. Now they are gone, replaced by high morale and strict military discipline.

The current Ningxia Zhongwei, if anyone sees those people in the Xiangtang of the Martial Arts Hall, their expressions are as if they have seen a ghost.

But if someone violates military rules, the people of Xiangtang will definitely punish them.

Occasionally, one or two soldiers who had been beaten would mumble to them, "What, this is too strict." "It's inhuman."

Once these words were heard by other soldiers, someone would always stand up and accuse the complainant: "Do you know what you're talking about?

Look at people's military discipline and other people's bearing. Even if a person who speaks martial arts violates military regulations, it is still correct. If you kid makes a mistake, you should be punished, and then be careful Lao Tzu will teach you a lesson for Master Taifu. ”

In the General's Mansion, that is, the former General Soldier's Mansion.

Jiang Xia and the other generals were looking at the sand table in front of them. The commanders and commanders of the three armies are all here, and they have never seen this so-called "sand table." However, these people are also old people in the ranks, and Jiang Xia's high-restoration sand table, they still understand the mystery at a glance.

Jiang Xia pointed to the sand table and said: "Now that Turpan and Wara have sent a total of 80,000 allied troops, it seems that after they knew that their vanguard was defeated, they temporarily added soldiers and horses.

Now they are stationed here, about three miles from us. With our current strength, if we want to go head-to-head with them, I'm afraid we will lose more and win less. ”

"Then sir, what can you do?" Luo Cheng asked.

Jiang Xia glanced at Luo Cheng and bowed slightly, and said, "It's not that there is no way, it's just a little reckless." ”

"What's the way?" Luo Cheng hurriedly asked.

Jiang Xia said: "Turpan and Warat sent 80,000 troops, so whether it is Turpan or Warat, the soldiers and horses in their country must be very empty. If I write a letter to the Tatars and ask him to help attack Warat, I believe that Warat will withdraw its troops in order to ensure the security of the country.

Then we contacted the remnants of Tumut and agreed with them to attack Turpan on both sides, believing that Turpan would suffer heavy losses. ”

"This is tantamount to asking for help from the Tatars and the Tumut Ministry, so will the Tatars take this opportunity to attack our Daming as well, so as to get a piece of the pie?" said Lian Shouzheng, the commander of Shaanxi, with some concern.

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "I can't rule out this possibility, so I said that this is a desperate move." But in the current situation, this is also the most effective approach.

The 80,000 allied forces of Turpan and Warat are brave and skillful, and if we want to defeat them from the front, with our current strength, it is difficult to reach the sky. ”

Even Shouzheng nodded, admitting that what Jiang Xia said was very reasonable.

In the end, after everyone was silent for a while, Luo Cheng said: "My lord, you have no last resort, you can decide what to do."

If you say we will fight, and if you say we will defend, we will defend. You said to ask Tatar for help, then let's ask, it's a big deal to notify the Xuanfu and Datong side, and let them be careful. ”

Jiang Xia thought for a while, and finally nodded.

"Let's get here today, order the people to prepare for the loss, and disperse first. ”

"Yes. ”

After the generals left, Jiang Xia sat on the chair and rubbed his forehead.

In fact, in terms of his personal feelings alone, he believes in Arsu, after all, everyone's friendship is there, and I believe that Arsu will not take the opportunity to stab him in the back.

In addition, now that Tatar and Daming have also opened border markets to each other, this is beneficial to both sides, and I believe that Arsu will not be willing to destroy this.

But Jiang Xia understands that his decision has a great impact, and once there are some "just in case", then I am afraid that he will be a sinner of the Ming Dynasty.

Jiang Xia shook his head.

In the end, I made up my mind.

He walked back to the study, took a pen and wrote a letter, stamped his private seal, and then sealed it with lacquer and found Xiao Kill.

Jiang Xia handed the letter to Xiao Shu along with the Khan's decree handed to him by Arsu, and said, "This letter must be handed over to Arsu personally, and no one but him is allowed to pass it on." I'm sorry for you, Brother Xiao. ”

Xiao Shu nodded and said, "Don't worry." I will get this letter to Arsu as soon as possible. ”

"Hmm. Jiang Xia nodded.

Xiao Shu left Ningxia Zhongwei overnight, so the next step was to defend the city hard.

From the third day after Xiao Shu's departure, the combined forces of Turpan and Warat began a continuous siege of the city.

The two sides began to fall into a stalemate and a contest of attrition.

At night, Jiang Xia quickly landed on the city tower. He was followed by Gao Jia and Qiu Wenshi.

Jiang Xia looked at Qiu Wenshi and asked, "Wenshi, do you think we can successfully defeat the combined forces of Turpan and Warat this time?"

"It's hard. Qiu Wenshi analyzed, "This time, Turpan and Warat have dispatched a total of 120,000 elite soldiers. They are all very strong in combat, far from being comparable to our soldiers.

Now there are less than 100,000 troops left in the city, most of whom are soldiers who have never fought much. In the absence of foreign aid, I am afraid that it will be difficult to defend this Ningxia Central Acropolis, and now we only have two plans. ”

"Two plans, which two plans?"

"First, contact reinforcements from all over the surrounding areas to help; second, abandon the Central Acropolis of Ningxia and lead the troops back to Beijing to defend it. ”

Jiang Xia nodded silently after hearing this, he admitted that Qiu Wenshi's analysis was very correct.

Soon a soldier came to report, "Master Taifu, there is a disciple who claims to be a Qianmen who wants to see you. ”

"Bring him to me at once. Jiangxia said.

"Yes!"

Soon the disciples of Qianmen were taken up to the city tower by the soldier, and after seeing Jiang Xia. The disciples of the Thousand Sects saluted and said, "See the master." ”

After speaking, the Qianmen disciple took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Jiang Xia.

After Jiang Xia took the letter, he opened it and glanced at it.

The light is blind, but fortunately he has good eyesight to see the words clearly, otherwise he really can't understand what is written on the letter.

After a few glances, Jiang Xia's face showed a look of ecstasy. He turned his head to look at Qiu Wenshi and said, "There are reinforcements, we have reinforcements!"

At noon, the drums of war beat.

The combined forces of Turpan and Warat began to attack the city again.

They collected a lot of siege equipment in the cities they conquered along the road, which caused great trouble to Jiangxia. Fortunately, there are a lot of fortified items in the Acropolis of Ningxia, otherwise this city may not be able to defend until now.

Seeing that the enemy army was slowly coming, Jiang Xia immediately ordered people to prepare items to defend the city, and the front of the city gate was already covered with thistles, and the horses were rejected.

On the city tower, Jiangxia also placed five catapults, and the boulders were piled up in several piles. In addition, there are still a few barrels of fire oil on the city tower, anyway, if the Turpan and Warat coalition forces want to take the Ningxia Zhongacropolis from Jiang Xia, they will pay some painful price for them.

Jiang Xia simply moved a chair and sat on the city tower, with a long knife in his hand lying across his knees.

Soon Jiang Xia heard "boom, boom", as if the sound of thunder sounded. Jiang Xia stood up and walked out of the battlements of the city tower and looked forward, only to see the wind and smoke billowing in front of him, and the flag was waving.

Jiang Xia knew that the Turpan and Warat armies had arrived.

After the arrival of the enemy army, they did not start the siege immediately, they first lined up the formation, not at all like the steppe herders who did not know about the siege.

Jiang Xia looked at the place where they had sorted out their formation, then stretched out his hand to beckon Qiu Wenshi over and asked, "Do you think you can use a catapult from us to hit the camp on the opposite side?"

Qiu Wenshi looked at it and shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't used a catapult." ”

"It's okay, just try it. Jiang Xia nodded to the fifty soldiers standing next to the catapult, two of whom immediately put a boulder in the catapult, and then the other fifty soldiers pulled down the lever hard.

The boulder flew out with a "hula", Jiang Xia put his right hand in front of his eyes and looked at it, only to see that the boulder hit the opponent's camp impartially, and it was obvious that he saw that many people on the other side were injured.

Jiang Xia clapped his hands excitedly and shouted, "Okay, I can actually hit it." Come on, catapult attack!"

The five catapults were immediately put into operation, and one by one the boulders were being fired at the opposite side where the enemy army was arrayed.

I saw that the enemy army fled in a hurry, and the formation that had just been lined up was scattered again.

But soon they retreated about two hundred paces behind them, out of range of the catapult.

The leader of the Tuwa coalition army also saw the formation of his troops and horses first, and he immediately ordered: "Attack the city immediately." When you enter the city, don't care about anything, and slaughter the city for three days. ”

"Attack!" he yelled first.

The Tuwa army rushed over together, and the one who rushed to the front was the ladder soldiers.

The shape of the ladder has been introduced before, and it is not an ordinary long ladder, but in fact it is a very elaborate siege equipment.

Below is the wooden base and rollers, and above is a ladder, and there is an iron hook at the top of the ladder that can be hooked to the city wall, which must be fixed and difficult to destroy again.

The ladder soldiers pushed the ladder to the gate of the Ningxia Zhongwei City, and there was nothing at first for a distance, but as soon as they walked to the back, they encountered a lot of traps. The ladder is in the trap and the pit is difficult to get out again.

With those traps and pits, Jiang Xia destroyed the opponent's five ladders at once.

However, this time, the Tuwa army looted a lot of siege equipment and was well prepared.

They also had a dozen ladders to continue to push towards the tower.

The Ladder Soldiers marched some distance further, and soon they stepped on the thistle.

The thistle was buried in a thin layer of sand, and when the ladder soldier stepped on it, he sat on the ground with his feet crossed and went to pluck the thistle.

Jiang Xia estimated the distance, and then immediately ordered the catapult to start attacking.

Due to the scattered nature of the ladder soldiers, the stones of the catapult may not be able to attack them all. However, it also hit four or five ladders, and this time the ladders were destroyed by five more.

Jiang Xia looked up and looked ahead, seeing that there was no movement at all, he couldn't help but say to himself: "Old man, you have to be faster, I won't be able to hold out for long." ”r1058
