Chapter 819: Yanzhou was saved in exchange for 2 horses (second update)
Chapter 828

Therefore, Ah Wu, Wei Ming, sent a large number of boats to swim in the big river every day, firstly to scout the enemy's situation, and secondly to warn the Song army on the other side that he had the ability to cross the river.

It was difficult for the Song army to escape. After all, the Song generals must have considered that if they withdrew their troops and the Xixia army on the other side crossed the river, and cooperated with the army that was originally huddled in the fortresses to attack, the consequences would definitely not be Fun.

"You don't need to worry too much. The old man has already sent an envoy to the Zhongshu Ling to ask for help. I believe that with the wisdom of the Zhongshu Ling, after learning the news, he will definitely send troops to attack. At that time, this Song army Pianshi, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he will only become a ghost under the sword of my Great Xia."

"In addition, the old man has been sent to collect boats to find a suitable place to cross the river. If there are enough boats, then even if Zhongshuling's reinforcements have not arrived, as long as our army can cross the river by more than [-], we can rely on the fortress to force Song The army retreats, or restrains them..."

After comforting the soldiers under his command, Wei Ming Ah Wu took a deep look at the Song Army flag on the opposite side of the river. The blood-red waving flag was dazzling no matter how you looked at it.

"That old thing is named Ah Wu? Why is his face full of wrinkles, like an old tree bark." A general of the Song Army took Wang Yuan Wang from his companion next to him, looked at it carefully for a long time, and couldn't help but He said with a disappointed face.

This high-named Ah Wu was as famous as Ren Duo Zongbao as the pillar general of Xixia. Even in the day when the Liang family was rampant in Xixia, the high-named Ah Wu and Ren Duo Zongbao still led the army to fight on all sides many times and made great military exploits.

Even if there are not many opportunities to deal with the Song Army, the generals of the Song Army still know a thing or two about these two.And it happened that there was a surrendered general from Xixia in the army. After being pointed out, through the binoculars, he finally got a clear look at the face of the opposite Wei Ming Wu.

Even though he was wearing a tall and straight Western Xia wart armor, the thin Wei Ming Wu looked more like an old man in his dying years than a commanding general.

Zhe Keshi glanced at the subordinates who were talking nonsense beside him, frowned, and spoke.

"Wei Ming A Wu is proficient in military strategy and a general of the royal family. When the Liang family presided over the state affairs, he entrusted him with the false snake, which was actually a secret liaison with the Xixia king. After Li Qianshun ascended the throne, not only did he not have any relationship with Wei Ming A Wu because of his Serving the Liang family and blaming him too much, instead entrusting him with important responsibilities."

"I have to say, this piece of old ginger is definitely a scheming person. So you must not look down on each other just because of his old age."

"What the general said is, but, can we just stare at them across the river bank?"

"That's natural. Do you still want to cross the river to face tens of thousands of Xia troops?" Zhe Keshi shouted angrily. "Don't forget, we only have 7000 troops. What is our mission? It is to restrain the army named Wu, and create conditions and convenience for the three generals Li, Luo, and Liang to attack Xingqing warehouse."

"You all cheer me up. The reconnaissance cavalry sent out every day will give me some ideas. You must not let those land spies get close to the five miles of our army's camp."

"If the Xixia army finds out our reality, then it is impossible for us to be able to relax here as we do now, and in that way, the three generals Li Mao, Luo Ping, and Liang Shou and the three thousand Song Dynasty Huben, it is very likely that it will become a shame for our failure this time, understand?!"

With a serious expression, Zhe Keshi glanced at the dozen or so generals in front of him, and shouted sharply.

"No!" All the generals obeyed the order solemnly.Several generals who were responsible for scouting and intercepting the enemy cavalry walked away quickly, and Zhe Keshi's stern tone also woke them up.

Even though Xixia has become extremely weak now, it is still absolutely capable of dealing with their less than [-] cavalry.

At the same moment, Ren Duo Zongbao, whose heavy armor had dents from being hit by arrows, looked at this urgent report from Xingqing Mansion, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

"This, is this impossible? The 30 Liaoxia coalition forces are now storming Yuzhou, and our army is now blocked in the land of Yanzhou. With the strength of the Song army in the three states, how can we find it? Trouble in Xingqing Mansion?"

After seeing the letter, a general beside him couldn't help but change his face and shouted loudly. "Could it be that Commander Xiangqing is lying about the military situation again?"

"Yanda, what the hell do you mean?" Ye Lihong, the Commander of the Xiangqing Army Commander, who was also present at the scene, couldn't help being furious when he heard this, and stood up as soon as he hit the desk. , just pulled the arrow wound on his back, the pain was so painful that this guy couldn't help but scream out.

But even after screaming, he didn't care about his own image, Ye Lihong grinned and pointed at Yan Dadao. "I'm here now, what kind of military situation did I rush to report?"

"I didn't mention you, I said yes, the general who is now staying in the Xiangqing Army Division to take charge of military affairs." Yan Da seemed to feel that he had gone too far, but he still braced himself and turned back.

"Enough! If you don't think you're tired enough, you can lead my troops to attack the city." Ren Duo Zongbao said with a cold glance at the two.

The two people who were arguing also shrank their necks and sat back in their seats, not daring to murmur any more.

After the tent calmed down, the exhausted Ren Duo Zongbao said in a deep voice. "The previous urgent document was sent by His Majesty from the Xingqing Mansion, but this one was sent by the Privy Envoy named Mr. Wu through the Xiangqing Military Division. This proves that there is indeed a Song army. They are causing chaos in the hinterland of my Great Xia."

"And the number is at least about [-], and a considerable part of them are cavalry."

Hearing this, all the Xixia generals in the tent couldn't help but feel shocked.

"General, can it be said that those Song people are really not prepared to defend Yuzhou, and they don't want to care about the life and death of these 2 troops? Otherwise, why would they insert 2 troops into the hinterland of our country? As long as my army turns around, those [-] Song troops will , isn't it the turtle in the urn?"

"If we retreat to Xingqing Mansion for the sake of those [-] Song troops, wouldn't it mean that our plan to attack Yanzhou would have failed." Naturally, a far-sighted general stood up and pointed out the Song army's intentions.

"Exchanging 2 horses for the preservation of Yanzhou, this plan, for the Song Army, is definitely a profit, not a loss. But for me, Daxia, it is definitely not a good choice."

"Yanzhou is far more important to my Daxia than the [-] troops of the Song Army. Only by taking Yanzhou can I get back the most important source of tax revenue for my Daxia. You can also Threatening the flanks of Hongzhou, even if the reinforcements of the Song army rushed to Shaanxi Road, they would not dare to go to aid Youzhou with the whole army..."
