Chapter 842 The first good news since the three-state offensive and defensive battle (second update)

Chapter 851

However, what Xifeng Zhenlie did not expect was that the nearly [-] soldiers in the city could not escape quietly, and there were only less than [-] soldiers left.

When this kind of news was passed to Xifeng Zhenlie's ears through his subordinates, Xifeng Zhenye, apart from a wry smile, did not demonstrate by killing and torture as he threatened at the beginning.

The sky gradually turned from pitch black to bright again, and when the sun leaped out of the horizon, the people in Yinzhou City could barely evacuate.

At this time, the camp of the Song Army, which had been slowly oppressed to the point where it was only a stone's throw away from the city wall, finally sounded the thunderous drums, the sound of countless victories in the Song Dynasty, the dancing flags, and the brave soldiers were like stormy waves Headed towards Yinzhou City.

This time, the Song army, which was like a stormy wave crashing on the shore, did not fight for a while and then retreat like last night. Instead, it advanced and advanced again.There were only more than 4000 exhausted defenders left, almost all of whom were injured. They collapsed after holding up less than two sticks of incense.

Xifeng Zhenlie slayed himself on the south gate, and after his death, the more than 20 soldiers who were still alive all put down their weapons and went to No. [-] when Yuzhou City was trapped by the Liaoxia Allied Forces. Fallen by the Song Dynasty.

At this moment, the [-] reinforcements sent by the Liaoxia Allied Forces arrived belatedly and arrived in Shizhou on the second day after Yinzhou fell.

After receiving the news of the fall of Yinzhou, the chief general of the reinforcements, King Wei Mingcha of Xixia Jin, was really a little confused at the moment.

It took a lot of effort to get the commander-in-chief of the Liao-Xia coalition to agree to dispatch [-] troops to help. But now, the army had just crossed the Wuding River and had already received the news that Yinzhou City had been captured. The commander-in-chief, Xi Feng Zhenlie, committed suicide at the top of Yinzhou City. information.

Shizhou Commander went to Li Zhongye and stood aside with his head bowed, stealing a glance from the corner of his eye at Brother Jin Wei Mingcha who sat on the main seat with a gloomy face.

"Why don't you send reinforcements to Yinzhou?" Brother Wei Mingcha slowly exhaled, put aside the pain in his heart, and his gaze fell on Xiang Lizhongye like a knife.

"Your Highness, it's not that the last general is unwilling to send, but that he really doesn't dare to send. Our Shizhou has less than [-] soldiers and horses, and there is no narrow barrier between us and Yinzhou.

If fewer reinforcements are sent, not only will it not help the situation, but they will be easily eaten by the Song army. If too many reinforcements are sent, the Song army may simply leave only some troops to trap Yinzhou and come directly to Yinzhou. Trouble me in Shizhou. "

"If Shizhou is lost, then Yinzhou is in the pocket of the Song people, and if Shizhou is there, even if Yinzhou is lost, at least Shizhou can stop the Song army from encroaching on the eastern part of Daxia. ..."

Xiang Lishi's plausible reasons made Weiming Cha brother not know what to say for a while, after all, what he said was very reasonable.

Although Yinzhou is important, Shizhou's strategic position is higher than Yinzhou. In comparison, Brother Weimingcha also knows that if he has to choose, he can only give up Yinzhou and stick to Shizhou.

Because Shizhou's location is more dangerous, and it is also the hub of Longzhou, Yinzhou and the left wing of the Brave Army Division.If this place is lost, then the eastern border of Xixia will be divided into two by the Song State. In that case, it will be even more difficult for the eastern part of Xixia to sustain the situation.

"Alas..." Brother Wei Mingcha let out a long sigh, who can be blamed?Blame Li Zhongye for not sending troops?Please, there are only less than 1 troops left in Shizhou's defenders. There are too many troops. How can Shizhou defend?If there is less pie, it is tantamount to blindness.

In the final analysis, the reason why the troops in the eastern part of Xixia became so weak is that before Xiaoliang defeated Hongdezhai last year, that old man Liang Yibu led tens of thousands of Xixia's elite troops to surrender to Song Ting. The land of Yanzhou was successfully attacked by the Song army again.

This has led to the fundamental reason why Xixia's current military strength is difficult to continue. If the lord Li Qianshun had been in power at that time, if he had shown tenderness to the Liang family, even if he had shown goodwill first, he would not be able to clean up after the Liang family's military power was taken away. Late.

However, Li Ganshun, the lord of the country who has been aggrieved for many years, does not want to wait for a moment. In other words, he is afraid that he will be like his father, living under the shadow of the Liang family all his life.

That's why Liang Yibu, who was leading the army outside, was given the opportunity to overthrow the Liang family as soon as possible.

It's just that it's all in the current situation, and it's useless to blame anyone.

"I can't blame you for this matter. It's better to carefully collect the soldiers and civilians who escaped from Yinzhou. The soldiers will be included in the city defense of Shizhou, and the people should try to resettle them. In addition, those Yinzhou The soldiers and civilians who have retreated must be carefully sorted out, and they must not be mixed with Song's spies."

"Your official understands, but the Song army has just seized Yinzhou, and its foothold is not stable. Why don't your highness inform the coalition army, send more troops, and take back Yinzhou at this time, otherwise, let the Song Dynasty continue to dominate, and the lower official is worried. , I am afraid that Yinzhou will be like the land of the three states, and will no longer be owned by me in Daxia..."

"Enough!" Brother Wei Mingcha couldn't help but snarled, and gave Li Zhongye a hard look.What the hell do you think I don't know?
But the problem is, I can tell you that the Liao-Xia coalition forces, Xia Guo can't make the decision at all, and the 2 people can be dispatched for reinforcements.

Although Wei Mingcha was very resentful, when he was in Youzhou, he even had the urge to go against the will of the coalition commander and lead his soldiers to attack Yinzhou.

However, he really didn't dare to do this. The consequences of doing so would probably turn His Royal Highness the Prince of Liao into a rage.

At that time, the Liao army of more than [-] people was in the hinterland of Xixia, and it made them angry.

"In the past, the matter of Yinzhou was reported to the lord of the country at the solitary meeting. Now the most urgent thing is to speed up the repair of Shizhou's city defenses to prevent the Song army from taking Yinzhou and continue to commit crimes in the north. In addition, 5000 troops will be transferred to the north. People rushed to Longzhou to help defend Longzhou..."

Although the big brother Wei Mingcha brought reinforcements, he only brought more than 2 soldiers and horses. It is impossible to attack. The only thing he can do is to defend and defend. After failing to break through Yuzhou, defend the eastern border of Xixia.

Su Dongpo was currently in Yinzhou City, looking at the city that had become devastated under attack and defense from both sides.

The evacuation of the Xixia people saved Song a lot of worries. Except for the [-] cavalry who continued to be stationed in the camp outside the city, most of the remaining [-] soldiers and horses were stationed in the city.

On the day when Yinzhou was captured, Xueshi Su ordered to mobilize supplies from the cities in the rear, trying to repair the city defense of Yinzhou as quickly as possible, in order to prevent the possible counterattack of the Liaoxia army.

And a good news was sent to the capital. Anyway, this is the first good news since the beginning of the three-state siege defense...
