"I already know about this matter, I can inform General Han, and order Yue Feibu to lead the army to reinforce and hold out for ten days! Ten days later, I will lead a large army to a decisive battle with the Jinren. ”

After receiving the instructions, Qi An immediately returned to Lanzhou without stopping.

A battle is brewing......

After seeing Qi An leave, Zhao Yingluo walked outside the house, looked at the clear blue sky, breathed in the breath of spring full of vitality, stretched her slender waist, and showed a sweet smile.

Soon! Her big chess is about to take the most important step!

After Wang Zaixing received the order of the county lord to advance north, he slapped the table happily, "I have been stationed in Luoyang for more than ten days, and I have been idle with sores on my buttocks!" Today I finally have the opportunity to dry the golden dog! The order was sent down, the whole army was reorganized, and set off early tomorrow morning to attack Cizhou and Handan. ”

Later, Wang Shan also received an order from Zhao Yingluo, so that the main force of his army was still sitting in Pingyang, and sent a fire team of 500 people to harass the Taiyuan garrison of Yan Lou's room! to contain its eastward movement.

On April 25, the wheat in Lanzhou had begun to turn yellow, and it could be officially harvested after about 10 days of sunshine.

Han Shizhong's heart was also heavy, and the reason why he was heavy was that he regretted not listening to Zhao Yingluo's suggestion, and arranged for the strange soldiers to intercept the Jin people when they were halfway crossing, so that the Jin people could cross the river smoothly and trap themselves in Lanzhou City.

His carelessness came from last year's battle of Shangzhou, in which he and Zhao Yingluo fought heartily together! It was a big win.

But he seems to have forgotten that this time his opponent is Jinren, who has a fierce fighting style and courage that is not afraid of death.

In the evening, the blood-stained city of Lanzhou looks more and more hideous under the light of the setting sun, and the wheat waves in the distance are swaying under the warm wind......

Looking at the retreat of the Jin army that failed in the siege, Han Shizhong breathed a sigh of relief, the Jin army had been besieging the city for six days, if Yue Fei's reinforcements did not come again, I am afraid that he would be buried together with the city of Lanzhou.

After Yan Zonghan ordered the army to retreat temporarily, he returned to the base camp five miles away from Lanzhou.

The movement of Zhao Yingluo's army, he also knew through the scouts, the county town of Wei was occupied, and five thousand war horses fell into her hands, which made him a little anxious.

He wants to take Lanzhou City in one fell swoop today, and then wave his army north, waiting for the opportunity to eliminate Zhao Yingluo's troops! But the defensive ability of Lanzhou exceeded his expectations!

Today's assault did not conquer the city, but lost more than 3,000 men.

If it is delayed any longer, the supply of grain and grass will not be able to keep up, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, he issued instructions to Cizhou and Xingzhou, ordering the defenders of these two cities to attack, recapture the county seat of Wei, and wait for an opportunity to eliminate Zhao Yingluo's army.

After arranging the rear, Wanyan Zonghan began to deal with the matter of attacking Lanzhou City, "Pass the order!" Tomorrow when the city is attacked, the first to climb the city wall will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and ten women! Seal the marquis of a thousand households. ”

After a short night's rest, under the light of the morning sun, the city of Lanzhou rose with curling smoke, fireworks in the world.

However, above the city wall, there is a thick murderous aura!

Without news from Qi An, Han Shizhong's last bit of hope withered, and his hopes were dashed, but he couldn't let his morale sink as well.

After Yan Zonghan attacked the city this time, almost the whole army was dispatched, and catapults and ladders as high as several zhang approached the city wall step by step surrounded by tens of thousands of infantry.

The drums of war are deafening, and the shouts are loud!

Han Shizhong's eyes flashed with a resolute look at death, and he was immediately replaced by hope, "There is news from Puzhou, General Yue's 10,000 reinforcements are about to arrive, and the day the reinforcements arrive is the time for us to counterattack!" Behind us is the Great Song Dynasty, behind us is Kaifeng, we can't let the Jingkang incident happen again! Defend the city with all your might! ”

As soon as Han Shizhong's words fell, Yan Zonghan's army moved, and amid the sound of trumpets and shouts of killing, a tide of infantry flocked to the city wall.

The reward gave them no fear of death! One person falls off the ladder, and the other climbs up. While the infantry was attacking the city, the 10,000 archers behind him fired a volley in waves, and the black arrows rushed straight to the head of the city like dark clouds, and each wave of arrows would almost cause a lot of damage.

Because the enemy was suppressed by archers, the defense on the wall of the Great Song army gradually became chaotic with the increasing casualties, and in the chaos of the army, Han Shizhong was shot in the left shoulder by an arrow, bleeding continuously.

Sensing that the defensive force was rapidly weakening, Wanyan Zonghan showed a hideous smile, "Pass the order, the cavalry prepare!" As soon as the gates are opened, rush into the city! This general allows you to slaughter the city for three days, and you can take the gold and silver treasures in the city as you like! Not subject to military discipline. ”

Under his order, the cavalry were all like chickens!

Finally, after six days of siege, the gate of Puzhou City collapsed! Seeing that the city gate was broken, the leader of the cavalry shouted, and ten thousand horses galloped, raising billowing smoke, and went straight to the city gate.

At this time, Han Shizhong, who was struggling to slash and kill the enemy troops who rushed to the city wall, saw the enemy cavalry moving, and already understood that the city gate was broken.

He looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's a pity that the hero's ambition has not been rewarded, and now he is dying here!" Pity! ”

However! After just a few breaths, the situation under the city walls changed suddenly! The cavalry all stopped the advancing horses, reorganized their formation, and faced east.

Han Shizhong looked into the distance, and saw a hundred-zhang-wide cavalry army slowly appearing in the earthen hill in the distance! The big flag in the middle has a big Yue character written on it!

Good! That's great! General Yue, he finally ...... It's finally here, and it's ...... There is salvation!

At the critical moment of the siege, a support army appeared out of thin air, which made Wanyan Zonghan extremely unhappy! However, when he saw that the reinforcements on the opposite side were only about 2,000 cavalry, he couldn't help laughing.

"Dare to come with such a little reinforcement and send him to death! Herald! The cavalry charged, first destroying his supporting army, and then entering the city to slaughter the city. ”

After receiving the instructions of the commander-in-chief, the Jin cavalry in the formation clamped the belly of the horse, held the shining scimitar in hand, and rushed towards Yue Fei's reinforcement army in the direction of Tugang.

At this time, Yue Fei stood in front of the cavalry army, motionless, and the other two thousand people were also like this, not even holding the sword in their hands, it seemed that the opposite side was not the enemy army, but a cloud of air.

Wanyan Zonghan smiled even more happily, "Are they stupid?" How do you stay motionless? ”

He smiled happily, but Wanyan Zongyi couldn't laugh, there must be a demon when things go wrong, with his understanding of Shen Wanshu, it was impossible for her to send such a few people to reinforcements.

Could it be ...... In addition to these cavalry, what other reinforcements were there?

"General, shall we do it?" Seeing that the enemy's cavalry was less than a stone's throw away from his position, Adjutant General Bi Jin pinched a cold sweat in his palm!

Yue Fei waved his hand and said, "Let the enemy get closer!" ”
