Chapter 507: The forward troops behind Xiaoliang arrive... (First update)
Chapter 506

The leader of the village in Maling Town was a battalion-level general. After Wang Supervisor and others arrived, he had been carefully waiting on them.

Naturally, Wang Yang would not embarrass these soldiers guarding the border for the country. He inquired in detail about the population, vendors, and defense conditions of Maling Town, as well as the equipment and morale of the army.

After working for a whole half day, it was considered that the inspection of the smallest Maling Town was finished. After a good night's rest, he left Maling Town early the next morning and headed for the next inspection site.

This kind of work can be said to be nothing new, even a bit boring.But Wang Yang didn't care at all. On the contrary, he seemed to enjoy it.

Fangquzhai, Hedao Town, Mubobao, Shichang Town, Wulunzhai, Suyuanzhai, and Hongdezhai continue north along the Maling River after crossing Huanzhou City.

There were only eight forts, and it took ten days of hard work to arrive at Zhe Youshi, the old driver's base camp, which was the Hongde village where he was stationed all the year round.

At this time, Wang Yang didn't think much of being so strong and healthy, but the pony father-in-law had been tortured to the point where he was almost out of shape and looked depressed.

Seeing the appearance of Eunuch Pony, the three of them together have already reached the suitable land, and the border patrol is almost halfway through, and it is true that they should rest for three to five days, and at least they should take care of themselves. Don't be so tired and collapse at work, that's really worth the gain.

Hongde Village, which can accommodate three thousand border troops for guarding, is worthy of being the Dazhai Fort second only to Huanzhou City. There are more than a thousand households in the fort, and there are hundreds of shops and a dozen inns.

Now the dark clouds of war are approaching Huanqing. Although the business travelers here have worried faces, they still stay here, and many inns are overcrowded.After asking around, I found out that they had arrived at Hongde Village from those smaller fortresses.

Compared to those forts with weaker defenses and garrison strength, Hongde Village, which is garrisoned by three thousand border troops and has strong walls, can definitely make the people and businessmen feel more at ease.

Wang Yang and the others went straight into the Zhekeshi's mansion in Hongdezhai. After a delicious meal, they found a guest room and fell asleep. They slept until the next day. Only then did Yang open his eyes, feeling that he had finally been revived with full blood.

Just after washing up, while having breakfast with Ma Shang, who was still yawning, he saw Nezhe Keshi rushing over with a very angry look on his face. "My lords, something serious has happened."

"Did the Xixia people take action?" Wang Yang raised his neck and poured the last mouthful of porridge into his mouth and asked vaguely.

"Master Wang, you will know this after you look at it... maybe, in half an hour, you will be able to hear it..." Zhe Keshi handed over an opened envelope to Wang Yang with a very ugly expression on his face, and the envelope There are three white feathers sticking to the outside, which is so eye-catching.

Wang Yang's expression couldn't help but change. After taking it, he took out the letter inside and glanced at it for a few times, then he couldn't help but cursed.

Four days ago, the Xixia people had already made their move, but this time, the Xixia people divided into two groups, one led by Liang Yibu came from Shentangbao. The 15 army did not adopt the tactics of attacking the city.

Instead, relying on the number of soldiers and the generals, they only care about advancing all the way, but all the fortresses on the way they pass will be surrounded by several times the force.

Due to the sudden incident, although Song Jun had been prepared in advance, he was caught off guard by Xixia's new tactics. He could only watch Xixia Tieliu rushing past their fort, and there was no time to notify the rear.

"First Shentang Fort, then Dingbian Army Main Village, Hengshan Village, and Tongsai Fort. From the area under the jurisdiction of Dingbian Army, they went straight to the hinterland of our Huanzhou. Today, Papaya Fort, Whittingburg, and Anzhou on the east side of Huanzhou Saizhai was also surrounded by the Xixia army that was several times larger than it was before, and Liang Yibu's main force had already reached the Huanzhou city..."

"The bad news is not just this one. In addition, Empress Xiao Liang personally led an army of [-] people across the Qinggang Gorge and came through Qingping Pass. He also adopted the same tactics as Liang Yibu. Now, An An in front of our Hongde Village Border Town, Guide Fort, and Xingping City have also been deeply surrounded by the army behind Xiaoliang."

Wang Yang's complexion also changed. "How far is the army behind Xiaoliang from Hongde Village?"

Zhe Keshi smacked his mouth, his expression was really not good, and he raised three fingers. "About a quarter of an hour ago, when Zhemou was patrolling the wall of the village, he received a warning. The forward of the army behind Xiaoliang was less than [-] miles away from my Hongde village."

"...Then, what should we do now? Shall we go to Huanzhou now?" Ma Shang's face suddenly looked like an autumn red apple that had been painted with lime powder, and his mouth was full. A little trembling, the chopsticks in his hand fell to the skirt of his clothes without realizing it.

Before Zhe Keshi could speak, Wang Yang glared at the gutless Marshang and shouted. "Run? Liang Yibu's army has already approached the city of Huanzhou. Do you think Liang Yibu will make way for us to enter Huanzhou with a smile on his face?"

Ma Shang was stunned for a while with a pale face, and offered advice as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. "Then, how about we ask Mr. Zhang, oh no, ask Su Xueshi for help, and ask him to quickly send troops to rescue Huanzhou."

"Well, this is a very good idea. Very good. I will discuss it with General Zhe and then immediately send a messenger to find Academician Su." Wang Yang saw Eunuch Ma looking like he was about to urinate. He was really upset. I felt a headache, but in order to appease this guy's mood, I could only coax and persuade him.

"That's good, we must send someone to rescue as soon as possible, don't be too late... Then let's go to the hut first." After Ma Shang stood up, he staggered towards the hut beside him.

Looking at this guy's back, Wang Yang rolled his eyes speechlessly. After turning his head, he saw Zhe Keshi's expression of embarrassment and hesitated to speak. Wang Yang nodded with understanding. "I'm afraid we won't be able to send people to Gyeongju for help now, right?"

"Yes, our escape route has been cut off. Sending people to rescue will only increase casualties." Seeing Wang Yang's understanding, Zhe Keshi quickly explained.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, after Eunuch Ma comes back, we have to speak with one voice. Rescue envoys have already been dispatched, so please be alert to me." Wang Yang glanced at the five Ouchi imperial squadrons, as well as two of his own. follower said.

"Otherwise, if Eunuch Ma is scared and something happens, you'll have nothing to eat."

Xu Zhao and others looked at Wang Yang and could only nod their heads. "Don't worry, sir, we won't reveal even a single word."

Only then did Wang Yang look at Zhe Keshi again. "General Zhe, what do you need me to do now?"
