Chapter 519 Our wall can only defend one direction (first update)
Chapter 518

In order to ensure the safety of the back road, and at the same time to ensure that Huanzhou can be captured as quickly as possible, a large number of troops will adopt a posture of besieging and not attacking the various walled cities in the north of Huanzhou.

And under Huanzhou City, nearly 15 elite troops of the Great Xia were gathered. Empress Xiaoliang was even more eager to ensure victory. The [-] "garrison troops" were the troops defending the capital's Xingqing Mansion and nearby strategic locations, and there were [-] proton troops who stayed in the palace. This is absolutely unprecedented.

But since it was under such circumstances, the old dog in Huanzhou, Zhang Li, was extremely tenacious, and he fought hard, as if he wanted to resist until the city was destroyed.

A few days have passed, and more than 2000 Xixia warriors' bodies have been left under the city, and there are more than [-] wounded, but they still haven't been able to open a gap in Huanzhou City.

Facing the cruel fact that the warriors of Great Xia were good at field battles but not good at siege, Liang Yibu was also very upset, but he was helpless.

But now that his younger sister asked about him, Liang Yibu had no choice but to bite the bullet, and said after a little thought. "Mother, this Huanzhou City is indeed very strong. Although our Xixia warriors are invincible in the field, the other party hides in the city despicably, relying on their bows and crossbows..."

After Xiao Liang heard Liang Yibu's words, she couldn't help frowning slightly, and lightly lifted her white and tender fingers like jade onions, which looked translucent under the light. "Brother, do you mean that we will return without success this time?"

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Xiao Liang's tone, Liang Yibu smacked his mouth helplessly. "I think that we should order all the troops and horses to continue the strong attack for three more days. It would be best if we can go down in one go. If not, by that time, the Great Song and Western Army must also be assembled. Whether we fight or retreat, we will fight again Let's go. I don't know what the empress thinks?"

"Three days..." Xiao Liang glanced at his elder brother and finally nodded helplessly. "Forget it, I hope that in these three days, you generals, you'd better show your strongest abilities. If anyone dares to slack off, don't blame Aijiafa for being unforgiving."

A group of Xixia generals couldn't help feeling chills when they heard this, and quickly stood up respectfully, saying yes again and again.In his heart, he cursed again and again, this Empress Xiaoliang's ability is not even half of her aunt's, but she has a more temperamental temperament, and if she is not careful, she will be ruined and her family will be destroyed.

Seeing how respectful these generals were, Xiao Liang raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction, stood up, and walked towards the outside of the big tent in a heroic manner. "Today Aijia personally supervised the battle, General Yeli, you should lead your troops to attack the east gate first..."

Seeing Xiao Liang's figure wrapped in silver armor, still showing grace and seduction, General Yeli swallowed fiercely, made a loud promise, and quickly followed Xiao Liang's steps and left. After entering the big tent, he ordered his troops to gather and prepare to attack the city again...

Zhe Keshi and his cavalry have been cruising in fear in the demolished Yuansuyuan Fort area. From the first day to the next two days and two nights, Zhe Keshi hardly dared to close his eyes, for fear that the Xixia army would be surprised that the circuit was destroyed. After being blocked, he aggressively committed crimes.

A large number of rangers were sent out every day to carefully observe the movement of the Xixia army besieging Huanzhou, reporting the situation almost every hour.

In this way, they waited in fear until the evening of the third day, when Wang Yang finally brought a piece of news that relieved Ke Keshi. The construction of the wall was nearing completion, and they could withdraw now.

As soon as he received the news, Zhe Keshi issued an order to withdraw troops, and ordered the reconnaissance cavalry who were only reconnaissance outside Huanzhou City to leave only a small number of people, and more than [-] cavalry withdrew as quickly as possible. In the same place, rush to the wall of the village.

"It's done, we've really done it..." Looking at this high wall that is about one mile long, two feet high, almost three feet wide at the bottom, and about one foot wide at the top.

Only in one section, there is still a gap with a width of three feet.

This simple wall made of logs, stones, and clay cement, although it looks very simple and rough, is absolutely strong, Zhe Keshi looked at this wall and couldn't stop smashing his tongue.

Wang Yang, who had two dark circles under his eyes but looked very radiant, came forward and smiled at the leader Zhe Keshi and others.

"General Zhe, General Hu, you are back, hurry up and go through the gap. After you pass, this gap will also be blocked, and at most there will be a width of one person and one rider. For our investigation ride in and out..."

Zhe Keshi didn't dare to neglect, jumped off the horse and saluted Wang Yang, and ordered the whole army to pass quickly. Seeing those Wang Yang and others who were also physically and mentally exhausted in the past three days, he was very moved The ground returned the favor. "I didn't expect you, Mr. Wang, to actually succeed."

"It's not because our brothers have put in a lot of effort. Whether it's our border troops or our brothers from the Forbidden Army, or those civil servants, young people, and local braves, if it weren't for them, how could they have accomplished it in such a short period of time? ." Wang Yang turned around and looked at the village wall that had been pulled up from the ground with pride on his face, feeling very proud in his heart.

After more than [-] cavalrymen slowly passed through the wall, the civil servants who had been waiting on both sides of the wall began to block the gap with felled logs and stones.

In the temporary large tent, Zhe Keshi with a haggard and exhausted face sat down with General Hu, took the water cup handed over by Wu Qilang and others, and drank it completely in one gulp. Take a breath.

"Generals, thank you for your hard work... If you hadn't been so responsible to stop us at the front line, there would be no way for our wall to be successfully built in such a short period of time. This work should be the first. , Wang will definitely report to Xueshi Su."

Hearing Wang Yang's words, Eunuch Ma Shang also nodded his head in agreement. These generals, who have suffered a lot these days, are finally smiling happily.

"However, generals, now we still have a big problem, and I am afraid that we need to solve it, so that our soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty can guard here without any worries. The state is being blocked here by the Xixia barbarians who are coming to the aid of the main force of the Song Dynasty."

Wang Yang saw the happy expressions of these guys, um... the sweet date is over, it's time to continue giving them a stick.

"I wonder what difficulties Wang Jianjun wants us to solve?" General Hu stood up and asked Wang Yang doubtfully.

"Our wall can only defend one direction, but there are still a large number of Xixia soldiers and horses in the other direction..." Wang Yang raised his hand and pointed to his back.

"If Empress Xiaoliang and Liang Yibu know that we have blocked their retreat, they will definitely try to inform the soldiers and horses who surrounded our fortresses. Not to mention anything else, only three to five thousand people are enough to make us lose sight of others. , This wall was originally a solid wall that could hold back a hundred thousand elite soldiers, but it will only become another joke of our Great Song Dynasty."
