The emperor issued an order, announced to the whole army, explained the affairs of Chaoping, and they have been planning how to defend the city.

Chaoping walked in the city, and saw that the sergeants next to him were squinting at him, and he walked a few steps and heard everyone talking about him, because Chaoping is good at kung fu, and his natural hearing is better than others, so he listens really.

Chaoping shook his head, thinking that he really shouldn't reveal his identity, and now that rumors are spreading, how can he fight.

Chaoping turned his head and went back to Cao Xinyang and Wan Li, explaining the matter to them, hoping that they could strictly enforce military discipline and let these soldiers stop talking about this matter.

Chaoping returned to the post house, at this time Youyun soldiers were also waiting for him here, Chaoping saw Youyun soldiers, and said: "Brothers, thanks to you and me and Feiyan can go out of the city, we can rest for a while." Chaoping saw that the Youyun soldiers were a little hesitant, as if they had something to say, he hurriedly said, "Do you have anything to say to me?" The eighteenth sister said: "Master, now the whole city is talking about you as the commander, many of them are veterans, so they have fought with the old general, knowing that you are still there, they are naturally shaken in their hearts, and they don't know who to obey." Chaoping nodded and said, "Yes, I have already told Brother Cao and General Wanli, I hope they can manage the sergeants well, otherwise it will affect the combat effectiveness of the entire army." "It's been two days, and the Liao army hasn't moved at all, and Wan Li and Cao Xinyang have already formulated a lot of defense plans, and many soldiers in the city were talking about Chaoping, but now everyone is not talking about it, because Cao Xinyang and they gave an order.

Chaoping has not been idle in the past two days, and some old generals in the army have come to the post house to find Chaoping and catch up with him, and Chaoping has no rest when he receives them.

Chao Ping jokingly said to the Youyun soldiers that this is more tiring than fighting.

"General Qiyu, the Liao army is attacking the city again. A soldier came to report to Cao Xinyang, Cao Xinyang immediately got up and said, "General Wanli, let's go to the city gate together and call the horses." "Before the people of Cao Xinyang's faction arrived at the post house, Chaoping came to the city wall with the Youyun soldiers, and he came out when he heard the enemy's drums.

The Liao army was ordered to besiege the army of thousands of miles and also converged under the cold water pass, so there were many enemies, Yelu Xiuqi ordered them to attack the city frantically, this offensive made Cao Xinyang and they looked frightened, this group of enemies kept fighting like madmen, repelling wave after wave.

Although the wall of Hanshuiguan is strong, it can't stop the Liao army's incessant attacks, so Cao Xinyang still has no bottom in their hearts.

All the guards in the city knew that the city must be defended, and everyone hated the same enemy, and the Liao army withdrew after a whole day and a night.

"I didn't expect them to be able to hold on. Yeluxiu spun around in unison, and at this time a black-robed man said: "General, don't worry, they can't run, I don't think it will be long before they can't hold it." Jelushuqi said: "What do you know, don't look at this pass, they have enough food and grass, and there are a lot of soldiers and horses, if they don't unite the various tribes of the steppe, how can they be besieged here." The black-robed man said: "General, please calm your anger, with your wisdom they will definitely be defeated, there is one thing I want to tell you, there is not only a person who escaped before, there is also a girl, I have ordered someone to chase after her, we seem to have met before, her martial arts are really unfathomable." ”

"Oh, are your men sure?" asked Jerushzie. The man said, "General, the people I sent to hunt her down this time are my junior brother and uncle, and their martial arts are not inferior to mine, so presumably that girl is no match for them." Yelu Xiuqi continued: "That's good, even if I can't stop it, I don't believe that they still have any soldiers and horses available in the Great Song Dynasty, hmph." The black-robed man nodded, and Jerushichi told him to step down.

"Come, brother, drink, we have come to drink this bowl to keep the city. Cao Xinyang said to Chaoping, Chaoping was also very happy, he made an appointment with Cao Xinyang to drink together, and the Youyun soldiers followed him.

This Chaoping knew that the two generals dared to come to drink and ignore military affairs because they had already arranged it, and it was impossible for the Liao army to make a comeback in such a short time, but the only thing he was worried about was how Feiyan was and when he would be able to come back.

Chaoping asked: "Two elder brothers, I don't know how long we have enough food and grass, have you counted the casualties of the soldiers?" ”

"Brother, where are you talking about this, your brother and I have already counted it, and the injuries and illnesses have been settled, and they have all been assigned to the military doctor. Chaoping was not very happy when he saw Cao Xinyang, and hurriedly said that he just wanted to know how long the combat power could last, originally only the coach could know things, but Cao Xinyang and Chaoping were the same as brothers, and they also knew that he was from the Li family, so he didn't shy away from it, and told him that he had a year of grain and grass, and Chaoping had some confidence in his heart this time, knowing that there was some hope for defending the city.

At this time, Cao Xinyang and Wan Li knelt down to Chaoping, saying that they would wait until the end of the war and tell His Majesty to worship him as a handsome, Chaoping hurriedly helped the two of them up, thinking that they were quite unhappy just now, why was it like this in a blink of an eye.

This Cao Xinyang told Wan Li and Chaoping about their enlistment in the army back then, and talked about their fathers' followers to the old General Li Luoyun to fight, and said that there was no commander in the DPRK over the years, so how to take the old general as an example.

Originally, Chaoping wanted to comfort them, but Chaoping said that he was uncomfortable, he was silent, and remembered that his grandfather taught him to march and fight and enter Beijing with his grandfather, which was full of mixed feelings.

Chaoping said: "Two elder brothers, our Li family has been handsome for generations, and this tiger head handsome seal can indeed promote the world's soldiers and horses, but I am a person with a lot of spirit, so I am still suitable for the rivers and lakes, as for this handsome seal, I will only treat it as an object in the future." Cao Xinyang said: "No, this handsome seal is a token of the world's soldiers and horses, horses can not be like this, you say the rivers and lakes, it is true that you are unmatched in the rivers and lakes, but we all see what happened after the border pass, you use the army into the gods, if you don't let the Feiyan girl pass the message with the Youyun soldiers, how can we retreat." ”

"Yes, if it weren't for your insight into the weaknesses of the Liao army's military formation, we wouldn't have been able to rush out, just by virtue of this, we are willing to take the lead for your brother. Chaoping didn't know what to do for a while, and hurriedly pushed it, this Cao Xinyang said: "Brother, don't be embarrassed, we just said what we thought, and we'll talk about it after the battle." Chaoping nodded, thinking to himself that he should stop chatting like this, there is really no way to take these two generals, at this time Wanli asked: "Don Ma, do you see how we can delay more time." Chaoping thought for a while and said, "There is no good way, hang up the exemption card." ”
