Chapter 514

At dusk on the fourth day after the Xixia army arrived outside Hongde Village, Zhe Keshi and others finally received handwritten letters from Zhang Kai and Su Dongpo.

They were very upset about their bold plan, but they also expressed certain expectations. At the same time, they were asked to think about it again and again before implementing it.

"They're throwing the question back..." Zhe Keshi sat behind the table with a bitter face, as if he just got a dog or was caught by a dog.

Are these superiors really irresponsible?I obviously sent the news to you in the hope that you would come up with an idea, but it turned out that the ball was kicked back by the two immediate bosses.

You can see for yourself, if you do well, you are the first and the best, if you don’t do well, hehe...

Wang Yang was also very distressed. At first he thought that Su Dongpo, an old driver, would at least express his moral support, but in the end, there was no difference between Su Dongpo's reply and that of Zhang Yu's.

"Wang Jianjun, you proposed this plan. Now Mr. Zhang and Mr. Su have given their answers. Should we do it or not?" Zhe Keshi frowned for a long time and looked thoughtfully. Wang Yang asked.

"General Zhe, if you ask Wang, who is the drafter and initiator of this plan, do you think you can get other answers from me?" Wang Yang looked up at Zhe Ke and smiled.

"But if the plan fails, we can't afford it." Zhe Keshi said with a bitter expression.

Wang Yang nodded in agreement. "Having said that, Wang feels that as long as we plan properly, the probability of the success of the plan is at least [-]%."

Seeing Na Zhe Keshi's melancholy and hesitant look, Wang Yang simply said: "Wang is the supervisor, and I proposed the plan. If anything happens at that time, Wang will personally submit a letter Plead guilty to His Majesty and the Empress Dowager."

"This, isn't this very good?" Hearing what Wang Yang said, Zhe Keshi thought about it for a while, then slowly shook his head. "If something really went wrong, how could Zhe stay out of it?"

"Then General Zhe, what do you mean..." After seeing Zhe Keshi's expression, Wang Yang already knew the answer, and then his eyes turned and fell on Ma Shang, Eunuch Ma.

Although this guy is as timid as a mouse, he is one of the three giants in Hongdezhai today, a dignified eunuch and supervisor of the army.Ma Shang glanced at Zhe Keshi, then at Wang Yang.

After a while, he smiled wryly and shook his head. "Since the two adults have already made up their minds, even if our family has any ideas and ideas, I'm afraid it can only be a minority."

"So, are you ready to stand together with the two of us?" Wang Yang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this guy's appearance. Although the vote could be two to one, it would be best for everyone to work together.

"Well, our family doesn't understand military matters, so the two adults will make the decision. We just hope that the two adults can act with caution."

"Then it's settled, little eunuch Ma, don't worry, my Great Song Dynasty will win this matter." Wang Yang said confidently after patting Ma Shang's thin shoulder.

Five hundred vans may not seem like a lot, but they are quite a lot. Except for the more than 80 vans that are still loaded with cement, the other vehicles have been unloaded with all kinds of luggage, and then started to be dismantled. For some unnecessary buildings in Hongdezhai, those logs and stones were loaded onto the van.

Although the Hongde Village was very busy, it seemed very calm outside the city. The Xixia scouts still showed up as usual and came to harass them from time to time. However, in front of the sharp crossbows of the Song Dynasty, they often had no success. When we return, there is almost no way to get within [-] steps of Hongde Village.

And after all the military officers at the top level had already heard the news, they all geared up and looked forward to it.

At dusk on the sixth day, Zhe Keshi, Wang Yang and others were having dinner together while continuing to discuss the possibility of the plan, but they heard a burst of hurried footsteps.

He saw a general in full armor strode in excitedly, while behind him, there were two tired soldiers who were drenched and shivering.

"General, here we are. Our reinforcements have arrived at the agreed position. Eight thousand infantry and two thousand fine cavalry are intact. They are stationed at the mountain pass west of Maling. This is the messenger sent by General Hu... "

The two of them came to Hongde Village to report the news on the order of General Hu. In order not to disturb the Xixia soldiers who were besieging Hongde Village, they made a large circle and then walked along the river bank from the upper reaches of Baimachuan River. Come.

After Zhe Keshi gave some encouragement, he questioned the two messengers in detail, and learned that the [-] elites were all stationed at the back of Maling in the mouth of the valley, very concealed.

After discussing with Wang Yang and his generals, Zhe Keshi compiled a letter and sent a capital leader with ten elite soldiers to follow them to the Maling Valley with the letter.

After a night of correspondence, it was determined that the [-] troops led by General Hu and others suddenly attacked Mingji's defenders from the north in the early morning of the next day.

As long as there is a sound of killing outside the city, Hongde Village will open three gates and all the troops will come out to cooperate with the [-] elites to break through the encirclement of Wei Mingji.

As long as the Xixia army under Wei Mingji's command is defeated, they will inevitably flee south, and the army must not give Wei Mingji a chance to breathe and gather the army.

As for Hongde Village, one thousand township braves will be left behind for defense, and another five hundred township braves will rush to the narrow area between Suyuan Village and Hongde Village together with about [-] young men recruited temporarily. Start building the wall as quickly as possible.

#####
When the night still remained in the sky and a faint morning light gradually appeared in the east, the three thousand elite soldiers in Hongde Village had already put on their clothes and lined up silently like a long dragon, standing in front of the three village gates.

Five hundred cavalry spirits gathered at the gate of Dongzhai, while Wang Yang, Zhe Keshi and others stood here, looking anxiously to the north.Waiting is the hardest part. Wang Yang and the others have been waiting for almost half an hour from the beginning to now when the morning light appears in the east.

And most of the bonfires at the Xixia camp turned into smoldering flames. If you look far, you can also see the periphery of the camp. Several teams of Xixia soldiers are patrolling, but they are walking a little staggeringly. It seems that it is early in the morning. , It really is the time when people's vigilance is the lowest.

"General Zhe, General Hu and the others must have changed their minds, right? Logically speaking, if thousands of troops charge, there should be a lot of noise. Why haven't we heard anything yet?"

Ma Shang, who was also wearing Yuanyou Armor but looked very nervous, couldn't help but asked Zhe Keshi.Eunuch Ma Shang is in a very complicated mood now. He hoped that the reinforcements would launch an attack, but he was also afraid that if he failed at that time, even if he could save his life, he might not have a bright future in front of the emperor in this life.
