Feiyan and Hezhang rushed to Hanshui Pass non-stop, and everyone in the rivers and lakes also left the capital early and rushed to the border pass.

The rain was pouring down, and I only heard Jin Biao shouting: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't stop for a moment." Several of Jin Biao's leaders have been persuading Jin Biao, wanting him to wait for these rainy days to pass before leaving, but Jin Biao not only listened, but also scolded them and said: " The task of transporting grain and grass this time is heavy, we must ensure that the people in the rivers and lakes gathered by Feiyan have food, and now the autumn is about to pass, and it is not far from winter, the young marshal does not know how long it can last, you actually told me to wait, it is very good for me, if you don't meet with the people of the Guo family within ten days, I will kill you, and cut down a few of you who are responsible for transporting grain. The second master smiled and said: "Big brother, don't be angry, the brothers are also kind, the younger brother has a way, you see?" Jin Biao asked puzzledly: "Say, what do you want to say?" The second master said: "Big brother, we can't avoid encountering a lot of cities along the way on this expedition, although we can fight and pass quickly, but we will definitely waste time, and there will be too many unnecessary casualties, so big brother, do you think we can take the waterway?" Jin Biao was happy when he heard it, patted the head of the second master, and said: "Why is your dog's head so good today, yes, I think this will work, we will take the waterway, and we will all order to go down." Then the seventy-two thieves and the thieves under his command all set off along the route that Jin Biao and them had discussed, and at this time they had prepared enough food for the war.

"Master, this cold water pass will soon be undefinable, what should we do?" The boss was anxious, and asked Chaoping what to do in the post house, the outer city of this cold water pass had already been breached, and only the inner city and the outer fortifications built by Cao Xinyang were left, and now Yelu Xiuqi sent Udar to attack the city head-on, and other grassland alliances were also attacking the city in all directions.

Youyun soldiers were anxious to turn around the room, but Chaoping did not speak in a hurry, and the eighteenth sister then asked him: "Master, do you have any countermeasures?" Chaoping shook his head and said: "There is no countermeasure, but what's the use of being anxious, the current cold water pass is as dangerous as a tired egg, but the enemy can't get in for a while, and it is impossible for us to break through, even if we can protect Your Majesty from breaking through, but what about these tens of thousands of soldiers, this is our main force." ”

"Then just watch, you speak, let us go and attack the Liao army, we kill their commander, I think this battle will be fine. The second child said.

Chao Ping then told him: "Although the commander of the Liao army is very important, but now the war is a foregone conclusion, and the Liao army can fight people abound, killing him can only inspire hatred, and now you can't kill him, even if the martial arts are high, you can't break through this thousands of troops and horses into the enemy's main camp, and now we are surrounded, we have no chance at all." "Youyun soldiers grew up in the desert since they were children, they were born to fight, what they lack is that little bit of patience, even if they are in a hurry, but they did not leave the post station half a step, because they know that they want to protect Chaoping, listen to his orders, they are not afraid of death, they just want to worry about Chaoping.

Chaoping also knew what the Youyun soldiers thought, and he knew in his heart that with these brothers who had died, even if they left their lives in this yellow sand rolling desert, they would die without regrets.

However, as a member of the Li family, he would not watch the Liao army invade his own land, and the only hope he had now was for Feiyan to move the rescue troops as soon as possible.

"General, it's not good, the Liao army is now starting to attack. A soldier was seriously wounded, and hurriedly ran to Wanli with Cao Xinyang, Cao Xinyang heard the news and hurriedly ordered: "Deputy General Liao, you go and take a dead soldier to sneak attack their firearms car, and the rest of the soldiers defending the city hurriedly prepare water, stop them under the city with bows and arrows, and then release the arrows when they see it." Cao Xinyang finished the order, these soldiers resisted desperately, he thought in his heart, the combat effectiveness of the Liao army is obviously more powerful than when he fought against others, Cao Xinyang has been carefully commanding the battle, he is not interested in the failure of this attack and defense, but he must win, must hold this city, can not let this cold water pass have the slightest mistake, because His Majesty is in the city, the main army of the Great Song Dynasty is in the city, although because of the plague and war they have suffered heavy losses, but as long as there is a soldier and a soldier to guard the homeland, not to mention that there are thousands of troops and horses。

At this time, Chao Ping and Youyun came to the city wall, he looked at Cao Xinyang standing in the distance from a distance, looking so depressed, Chao Ping knew that these soldiers resisted desperately and suffered heavy losses, Chao Ping looked at the thousand-man cavalry brought out by General Liao in the distance outside the city, and was shot more than half of them before the enemy, they did not retreat, but rode to the enemy's position with willpower, and destroyed the enemy's firearms position with the spirit of a moth to a fire, although it was only half destroyed, but it was enough to make the enemy unable to carry out a fire attack, but these people did not survive。

Chaoping shed tears when he saw this, he understood that these sacrifices were inevitable, and he also knew that this city could be saved in the next few days.

Chaoping stood on the city and fought with the Youyun soldiers, resisting the enemy, the enemy's crazy attack for a day and a night, almost defeated, the Liao army did not retreat, but camped outside the range, ready to attack at any time.

Chaoping Cao Xinyang and they also waited for the day, not daring to relax in the slightest. It didn't take long for the Liao army to attack again, Cao Xinyang and they still resisted step by step, so Cao Xinyang was fortunate that the Liao army did not have many firearms, otherwise the city would have been destroyed long ago, and now it is already full of holes.

In this way, the Liao army attacked for three days and three nights, and it was already snowing, and the Liao army was already in the depths of the desert, knowing how bad the weather in the desert was, and fighting so hard would not necessarily take advantage, but Cao Xinyang could rely on the food and buildings in the city to defend the city in a wheel battle and fight with them.

Soon the Liao army withdrew, and the soldiers in Hanshui Pass were all cheering, not remembering the previous tragic struggle, yes, it was not easy for them to survive in such a cruel environment.

The Youyun soldiers said to Chaoping and Cao Xinyang: "Master, General Cao, I'm afraid that the withdrawal of the Liao army is not just that they are tired and tired, but I am afraid that this day will change." Cao Xinyang naturally knew that this Youyun soldier had been in the desert all year round, and Cao Xinyang, as a general, had the ability to observe astronomy and geography since he was a child.

Cao Xinyang quickly came out of his joyful joy, and hurriedly assigned tasks to his soldiers, counting the number of people, cleaning the battlefield, building houses, and equipping them with equipment, not only to protect themselves from the cold but also to defend themselves against the enemy at any time.

His Majesty the Emperor in the palace heard that the city was guarded, and stood at the gate of the palace, staring at the sunset, with a trace of desolation in his eyes, thinking in his heart, if it was General Luoyun, how should this battle be fought.

The emperor knew that Chaoping's ability was not inferior to General Luoyun, and Cao Xinyang and they were not incompetent, and now this predicament is probably no one can do anything, but if he had been ahead of the foresight, he would not have fallen into this situation, but His Majesty the Emperor did not intend to blame Wan Li, the general, and Cao Xinyang, the commander, because he knew that victory and defeat were a common thing in soldiers, and this situation of the Liao army had been prepared for a long time, and he would not be able to detect it.
