Two days after Lin Xiqi and the others set off, the 500,000-strong army of the Later Yuan Dynasty had already invaded Liangzhou.

The army drove straight and was not resisted at all.

In this regard, the Hou Yuan army did not have the slightest surprise.

Their defeat in Sandao County was just an accident.

The officers and soldiers of Great Xia did not dare to engage themselves head-on at all, it was like this before, and it is still like this now.

After entering Liangzhou, the Houyuan army was divided into three routes.

There are three roads on the left, center and right, of which the left is led by Marshal Hebichen himself, with a total of 300,000.

The other two roads each have 100,000 people.

Their goal this time is to bring Liangzhou to a level.

Hou Yuan wanted to tell other border states and counties in Great Xia in this way.

Those who dare to resist the Houyuan army will end up like this.

Along the way, some of the original small towns, the villages have long been deserted, and the Houyuan Tartars are too lazy to pay attention.

The marshal has already made it very clear, first set foot on Sandao County, and then attack other counties in Liangzhou, this time they will empty the things in Liangzhou.

"It's finally here. Renjiang stood at the head of the north gate of Sandao County and looked into the distance.

I saw a piece of dust raised in the distance, a big earthquake trembled, and the roar had already spread throughout the entire Sandao County.

The people in the city were basically evacuated, and the rest were the officers and soldiers defending the city and the people in the rivers and lakes.

The person in charge of Sandao County's defense of the city this time is the magistrate, but he is not here now, and outsiders don't know.

So Ingang is the real person in charge.

Hong Shangrong sent a capable subordinate to lead the officers and soldiers defending the city, Renjiang was a man in the rivers and lakes after all, and he still didn't know much about the war.

"yes, it's finally here. A man in armor in his mid-thirties who was standing next to Ren Jiang said.

This is Yang Du, the commander of the city.

Renjiang was not familiar with Yang Du and had never seen him before.

But he believed in Hong Shangrong.

What is the current situation in Sandao County, Hong Shangrong knows better than himself.

The Later Yuan Tartars will come to Sandao County to take revenge, and everyone expected this.

He dared to send Yang Du to defend the city now, that was his trust in Yang Du.

Yang Du had a total of 20,000 men.

This level is higher than most counties.

Except for a few counties where the number of officers and soldiers is greater than that of Sandao County, the others are probably not comparable.

Even those who are comparable to Sandao County, many of those officers and soldiers are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are of no use at all.

And Yang Du's subordinates were all trained by Hong Shangrong, and all of them were elite soldiers.

The entire Liangzhou, that is, the state city and the city of Dunhuang, are defending the city in Sandao County.

Hong Shangrong only has 100,000 horses, and he can only focus on defending a few, if they are all evenly divided, they will not be able to hold any of them at that time.

"Lord Yang, most of the attack and defense of the city wall still need to rely on you. Renjiang said.

"Sect Master Ren, don't worry, if the Tartars want to break through the county seat, it is not so easy. Yang Du said with a smile.

Today's Sandao County has been repaired, and the height and width of the city wall have been increased a lot.

It can be said that Sandao County is slightly smaller than those counties except for the city, and the height of the city wall alone does not need to be lower than the county town.

This was also Lin Xiqi's preparation for the Houyuan army to attack again.

At that time, some people were against it.

I think that after the broken walls are repaired, it should be enough.

It is obviously a waste to continue to raise and widen the city walls.

Now these people have discovered that the magistrate's manpower has built today's city wall, which has brought great benefits to the officers and soldiers defending the city.

Likewise, it brought bad news to the Tartars outside the city.

"I believe in Lord Yang. Renjiang said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about the masters of the rivers and lakes brought by the Tartars, just leave it to me." ”

"I'm tired. Sect Master Ren, I want to see the corpses of the Tartars spread all over the city, layer upon layer, and our Sandao County is still untouched. Yang Du said, "I wonder if Sect Master Ren has any ideas?"

Yang Du knew that in addition to most of the people of the Fuyun Sect brought by Renjiang, there were also people from other sects in Liangzhou, a total of nearly three thousand.

Many of them are masters, and the senior brothers of the Floating Cloud Sect alone have two more people here besides Renjiang, Renhu and Renfeng.

He believed that there must be some hidden means and people in it, but he didn't know much about it.

You don't need to know.

Everyone is for the county, Yang Du still knows this, and it is also a kind of trust between each other.

From then on, the Tartars did not dare to come to Liangzhou to spread wild. Renjiang looked outside the city and said lightly.

"That's what I want. Yang Du said with emotion.

He is a native of Liangzhou, and he has experienced these things since he was a child.

Many of his relatives also died at the hands of the Tartars.

When Hong Shangrong recruited people, he was the first batch of people to join

"Sect Master Renjiang, I have to go to the city wall in other directions. Yang Du arched his hand towards Renjiang, and then walked away quickly.

"Senior brother, it's really covering the sky. Renhu sighed as he looked at the Houyuan Tartar striker who had already arrived outside the city.

The Tartar vanguard seemed to be 50,000 men, with countless flags and trumpets.

The Tartars were a hundred feet away from the northern gate, and they stopped, and did not go to enclose the other three gates.

"Arrogant, they're not afraid of us running away. Renfeng said, "Three doors for us to escape. ”

"If it were another city, the Tartars' intentions might have been fulfilled. Renjiang chuckled.

Those who are not strong in defending the city, seeing such a big movement, how can they still have any thoughts of defending the city.

He will definitely evacuate while the Tartar army has not yet arrived and surrounded the other three gates.

It's a pity that they forgot that they couldn't escape faster than the Tartar horses.

These escapees were the fastest to die.

Because they have lost the support of the wall.

"yes, I don't know how the other counties will behave. Renhu said.

"Now that Hao Feng has taken over the defense of Liangzhou, it will at least be much better than before. However, those officers and soldiers defending the city could not be replenished in a short time, and they could only rely on the support of a few men and horses sent by our Jianghu people and Hong Shangrong. The gap in the number of people is still very large, and I think Liangzhou is really dangerous this time. Renjiang said.

He was secretly thinking about Lin Xiqi in his heart, hoping that his trip to the hinterland of Tartar could bring good news to himself and Liangzhou.

Lin Xiqi's side is the key to this battle, they don't want to kill many enemies, they just need to try to hold the major cities.

"No matter how you look at it, it's all dangerous on our side. Renfeng said.

The 300,000 army against the 20,000 officers and soldiers defending the city was too disparity to defend it at all.

Even with the help of these people in the rivers and lakes now, there is still a great danger.

"There are also the masters of the rivers and lakes brought by Tartar this time, I am afraid it is more targeted, targeting some masters in the rivers and lakes of Great Xia. Renhu said.
