Come to think of it; Wanyan Sosuke suddenly felt dizzy; The body also crumbled.

He hastened to hold on to the battlements in the wall; It took a few deep breaths to barely hold his mind.

He knew he couldn't fall; Don't lose faith and courage at this time!

So he cheered up; Said to the generals around him: "Pass the order!" Strengthen the city's defenses! Closely monitor the movements of the Song army! As soon as there is any wind and grass; Report now! ”

Seeing this, the generals all knew that Wanyan Zongfu was already at the end of the crossbow at this time; But they all promised in unison: "Yes!" Then they went down to set up their defenses.

The night is like ink, and the starry sky is bright. On the territory of the Song Dynasty, elite troops are quietly gathering, and their target is the city of Lanzhou in front of them. Wen Boyuan stood on a high place, looking at the follow-up reinforcements that were pouring in like a tide, and his heart was full of pride. He knew that the time had come to win the battle.

"Pass the order!" Wen Boyuan's voice was firm and powerful, "Three more to make food, four more to prepare, five more to attack the city!" With his order, the whole battalion was immediately busy. Smoke rose from the cooking, and the soldiers began to bury their pots and cook food; The flickering fires of the blacksmith's shop create sharp weapons; The neighing of the war horses came and went, as if to cheer for the upcoming battle.

And in the city of Lanzhou, Wanyan Zongfu stayed awake all night. He stood on the city tower, looking in the direction of the Song army's camp, his face gloomy as water. The arrival of reinforcements made him feel unprecedented pressure, and the question of whether to fight or retreat was repeatedly entangled in his mind, making him unable to make a decision.

Liu Yu stood aside, looking at Yan Zongfu's tangled expression, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew that Wanyan Sosuke was an extremely conceited person and would not easily admit his defeat. But now the situation is very clear, the Song army reinforcements are constantly arriving, while the Jin army is suffering heavy losses and demoralization. If you continue to fight, I am afraid that you will be wiped out.

"General Wanyan, let's retreat." Liu Yu finally couldn't help but persuade him, "Now the army is less than 150,000, and the size of the other party's army is at least more than 200,000. We simply couldn't fend off their attacks. ”

Hearing this, Wanyan Zongfu turned his head and glared at Liu Yu angrily: "Retreat? You say it lightly! When did the warriors of our Jin Kingdom have a precedent of retreating? You're growing up others and destroying your own prestige! ”

Liu Yu was taken aback by Wanyan Zongfu's angry reprimand, but he still stubbornly continued: "General Wanyan, it's not that we are greedy for life and afraid of death, but the difference between the enemy and us is too great. If we retreat now, we can still save some strength and try to make a comeback in the future. But if you insist on fighting to the death......"

"Enough!" Wanyan Zongfu interrupted Liu Yu's words, "I don't have the word 'retreat' in my Wanyan Zongfu's dictionary!" If you are afraid, go away on your own. ”

Liu Yu was furious when he heard this. Not long after he became the emperor of Great Qi, he encountered such a bad thing. I wanted to use the power of the Jin State to confront the Great Song Dynasty, but I didn't want to end up like this. He secretly scolded Yan Zongfu in his heart for not knowing current affairs and being stubborn and self-serving; But on the surface, you have to pretend to be respectful and obedient. "Yes...... Be...... What General Wanyan said was...... I was just worried about the safety of the general...... Since the general is so determined...... Naturally, I will accompany you to the end......" he said resignedly; But I have already made up my mind in my heart: once the war is unfavorable, I will immediately anoint the soles of my feet with oil - slip away!

Wanyan Zongfu saw that Liu Yu was so "loyal", and the anger in his heart calmed down a little. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He knew that the current situation was very critical, and the slightest carelessness would lead to a catastrophe. But he also knew that he could not show any signs of weakness and retreat at this time; Otherwise the entire army will collapse completely.

"Pass the order!" Wanyan Sosuke said loudly, "Strengthen the city defense!" Closely monitor the movements of the Song army! Report any disturbances immediately! "Although he spoke very strongly; But in his heart, he had already prepared for the worst: if the Song army really launched a fierce attack; Then he can only fight to the death!

With the order of Wanyan Sosuke; The entire city of Lanzhou also immediately became nervous. Soldiers climbed the walls and fortified the fortifications; The generals were busy deploying troops and formulating defensive strategies; For a time, the whole city was enveloped in an atmosphere of solemnity and tension.

At this time, Wen Boyuan was in the camp to discuss the specific matters of the siege with the generals. "Judging by the Scout's news; The defenders in the city were less than 150,000 people. Wen Boyuan pointed to the city of Lanzhou on the map and said, "And the size of our army has reached more than 200,000; Under the trade-off; Our army will definitely win this battle! ”

When the generals heard this, they all nodded yes; There was a look of excitement and excitement on their faces. They knew that the battle was of great significance to the entire Song Dynasty; If victory can be achieved; Then it will be able to completely turn the tide of the war; Let the Jin Kingdom no longer dare to underestimate the strength of the Song Dynasty!

"But don't take it lightly." Wen Boyuan changed his words and said, "Although we have an advantage in numbers; But after all, the Jin army is an elite man; The combat effectiveness is not trivial. So we have to be well prepared and planned; Make sure nothing goes wrong before you attack. ”

When the generals heard this, they all nodded yes; said that he would act in strict accordance with Wen Boyuan's plan and deployment; There will be no underestimation and carelessness. They knew that this battle was about the future and fate of the entire Song Dynasty; There must be no mistakes or accidents!

As the night faded, the sky began to glow with a touch of fish belly white. Wen Boyuan stood on a high place and looked out in the direction of Lanzhou City; The heart is full of firmness and determination. "This battle will be won!" He muttered to himself; As if to cheer himself up, "This battle will be won!" The Great Song will win! ”

In the silence of the early morning, the city of Lanzhou is particularly lonely and desolate, as if it is a forgotten lonely city. The masonry on the city wall had long been bombarded by artillery, and the smell of gunsmoke was thick among the ruins.

In the early hours of the morning, the sun was rising, and the sky was covered with a touch of fish belly white. Wen Boyuan's army rushed to the city like a tide, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. Two thousand guns lined up, their muzzles aimed at the defenders on the city walls, and with a sound of an order, shells rained down.

The city wall was suddenly ablaze and filled with gunsmoke. The soldiers of the Jin Kingdom and the Great Qi were screaming and wailing, their flesh and blood flying, and they suffered heavy casualties. Wanyan Sosuke's face was pale, and he clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, his eyes flashing with anger and despair.

Liu Yu stood aside, watching his men and horses continue to die, and his heart was also extremely angry. He couldn't help but say to Wanyan Zongfu: "General Wanyan, now that Lanyuan City has not been completely besieged, the gate of Dongcheng can still retreat. If we don't retreat, I'm afraid everyone will die here! ”

Wanyan Zongfu turned his head when he heard the words and glared at Liu Yu angrily: "If you are afraid, leave by yourself!" ”
