The Second Master of the Iron-blooded Lian of the Red Chamber

Shi Liang also saw the soaring flames in the direction of the guard. Although he didn't know who set the fire, he was refreshed and led his people to rush towards Xihaiwang's handsome flag with even more effort.

Those of the Nan'an royal family who learned that the Nan'an king had escaped saw the fire behind the Xihai army, and they were also inspired by it, and they all obeyed Shi Liang's dispatch.Seeing that the army was regrouping, Shi Liang ordered the flag soldiers to rush to command the flags, dispatch them separately, outflank the left and right, charge in front and cover in the rear.

When one team's energy is exhausted, another group immediately fills up.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, and the so-called morale ebbs and flows.The imperial army had been besieged for a long time before, and they were internally divided, so their morale was inevitably low; now it was the turn of the Western Navy to face the enemy, and the Western Navy could not help but panic.

The King of Xihai said to Tan Su: "Mr. Tan, where did you say the army in the rear guard came from? Could it be that you Han people really have magic soldiers from heaven?"

Tan Su was quite wise, and he was sure that the imperial reinforcements would not be able to reach the coast of the West Sea in recent months, so he suggested that the King of the West Sea's army suppress the border and break through the Baihe Dam with all its strength.Now that the rear is being attacked, Tan Su is also at a loss.Thinking about the box, he opened his mouth and said, "Don't panic, Khan. These days, we are all staring at the soldiers and horses of the court. They can't tell who is going to attack the rear. Maybe it's just that the guards and soldiers are not careful, and they have escaped."

The king of Xihai calmed down a little, pondered for a moment and said: "Could it be that the princes who stayed in the capital started a dispute?"

In fact, Tan Su was also worried about this, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that the possibility was unlikely, so Tan Su firmly shook his head and said: "The princes are all people who know the general situation, so they shouldn't be able to."

The King of Xihai nodded his head. He has many sons, but he is in good health at the moment, and his sons will not be able to fight for the public and burn food and grass while he is alive.But if it wasn't done by a few princes of the West Sea, who would it be?

He also said that Liu Ping led 3000 troops to bypass the frontal battlefield of Baiheba through the secret road, and went directly to the front of the guard.Luckily, Liu Ping guessed right, the king of Xihai led the main force to besiege the court defenders, and there were only 2000 people guarding the food and grass in the guard.Moreover, these Xihai soldiers did not expect that the imperial army would arrive so quickly, and they caught the Xihai defenders by surprise.

On Liu Ping's way, he heard that Baihe City had been massacred. He expected that the supplies of the imperial guards should also be empty, and they didn't plan to burn food and grass.But the Xihai garrison was brave, and the Liu Ping Department was exhausted after traveling day and night. Although there were 1000 more people, except for a surprise attack by the Western Navy at the beginning, after the Western Navy stabilized its position, the Liu Ping Department could not get much money.

Liu Ping had no choice but to bear the pain and take someone to the granary to light a fire.

Now I have raided the guard post, but once the king of Xihai leads the army back to rescue, the 3000 people of myself will immediately fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy.But my 3000 men were tired and exhausted, and some soldiers were not adapted to the climate of the Western Regions, dizzy and weak, and could not fight for a long time.

After setting the fire, Liu Ping ordered the flag to be beaten, and headed straight for the northern line.Liu Fu was short of manpower, so he had to get out of the range of being attacked by the Western Navy before he could think about his next move.

The defenders of Xihai Kingdom who stayed in the guard post were startled when they saw the imperial army coming, and then ran away when they saw that the opponent had set fire to them. The next group of people put out the fire, and sent spies to inform the king of Xihai.

The guardhouse is located on a high ground. Although there are small streams that converge into the Baihe River, there is no large source of water. The climate in the Western Regions is dry and windy all the year round.

The Xihai garrison who stayed behind to put out the fire had no choice but to remove the flammable wood and tarpaulins around the burning warehouse to prevent the fire from spreading to other warehouses, but the warehouses that were already on fire could not be controlled so much.

Liu Ping led the people to flee for a while, but when she saw that the Xihai defenders were not in pursuit, she stopped the horses and lined up, leaving the unwell officers and soldiers behind, and ordered: "Stay here, go find some branches, tie them behind the horses, and walk along the road. Run east along the northern line, just make a big noise, if you encounter enemy troops, retreat immediately, don't fight with the opponent. After the truce, you can detour back to Baiheba by the northern line." After finishing speaking, he stayed Commanded by the next lieutenant.

It should be the captain who came out.

Liu Fu nodded, and then turned south with 2000 strong and fit men who had adapted to the climate of the West Sea, and continued to attack the guard.

At the moment there were only 1000 people left in the guard, and Liu Ping led the men back to the carbine, bringing with them strong and healthy soldiers. The Xi Haijun who stayed in the guard had just finished fighting the fire, exhausted and thirsty.Liu Ping led people to kill the enemy soldiers, and quickly took control of the guard.

On the other side, King Xihai also got the news that the guard had been attacked. He knew that a granary had been set on fire, but there were not many reinforcements from the other side, so he fled after setting the fire.

The king of Xihai got the news, he was relieved, and while dispatching 5000 people back to the rescue station, he continued to fight Shi Liang's department.Since there are not many reinforcements from the imperial court, as long as Shi Liang's tribe is destroyed, or continue to advance eastward, or retreat to Xihai Kingdom with spoils, these are all acceptable results for the King of Xihai.

As soon as the king of Xihai gave the order, before the five thousand Xihai navy had time to return to the guard post, they saw dust and smoke billowing in the north, and horseshoes roaring, as if thousands of troops and horses were rushing.

The king of the West Sea climbed up to look out, because the horseshoes rolled up the yellow sand, so he couldn't see how many people there were, but just by listening to the momentum, he knew that there were many people rushing to help from the north.The king of Xihai was shocked, and said: "The Han people are really cunning, and they hid the army in Mobei. Seeing this posture, there are many people coming. I don't know if I, Xihai man, can stop it."

The king of Xihai saw the movement in the north, so Shi Liang could naturally see it too.While the king of Xihai was beating drums in his heart, Shi Liang was also full of doubts, thinking: Could it be that the king of Xihai hid an army in Mobei?Now our department and the Xihai King's department are very reluctant to fight head-on. If there is another Western Navy coming to outflank, Baiheba may not be able to hold it.

But after thinking about it for a while, Shi Liang felt something was wrong.The Xihai Kingdom and the court have been fighting for more than a month. If the Xihai King still has a large number of troops hiding in Mobei, and the Xihai King cannot attack the city for a long time, it should have come long ago.Thinking of this, Shi Liang sent an order to go down, and ordered the soldiers to shout, "Reinforcements have arrived, kill the king of Xihai, and flatten the country of Xihai!" '

In ancient times, there was no wireless communication equipment. Even if it was an urgent military situation, apart from watching the command flag, you had to listen to word of mouth from your colleagues.

Seeing the dust and smoke rising from behind, the defenders of the imperial court were also puzzled. When Shi Liang gave the order, the soldiers who didn't know what to do inside thought that their own reinforcements had arrived, and their morale was greatly boosted.This shout also made the Xihai army feel more guilty.

When Tan Su heard the shouts of the imperial army, he secretly screamed "Oops!"The large number of people from the north, no matter which side they are from, should be recognized first by their own side.The reinforcements are the confidence of the soldiers to fight the enemy bravely.Just now the imperial army hesitated before calling for reinforcements to arrive. The people in the north may not be from the imperial court!It's just that the news has spread throughout the battlefield, affecting the morale of both sides, and it's too late to say anything.

Liu Ping led 2000 people back to the guard post. Seeing that the western navy had already cleaned up the area around the ignited warehouse, and the fire did not spread to other warehouses, she hurriedly controlled the remaining thousand western marines, seized the food, and quickly led people from the secret warehouse. Withdrew and made a detour back to Baihe Dam.

The battle lasted until dark, the Xihai army returned to camp one after another, and the imperial army also retreated into the city in batches.The two sides replenished their food and recharged their batteries.The imperial army had no food, so they had to slaughter some of the wounded horses to feed the soldiers.There were quite a few corpses on the Baihe beach, but the Xihai army would not give the imperial army a chance to clean up the battlefield.

Early the next morning, the 1000 people who made the big noise on the northern line arrived at Baihe City first. Only now did Shi Liang know how the big noise on the northern line came about.Although there were only 3000 reinforcements, the morale of the court officers was boosted: Since Liu Ping brought people here so soon, the large reinforcements from the court must have arrived sooner than everyone expected.

The 2000 people led by Liu Ping walked slower than the 1000 people on the northern route because they brought a lot of food and grass, and they arrived in Baihe City around You o'clock the next day.After this battle, the imperial army suffered more than 4 casualties, and now there are only over 2000 people left, and Liu Ping has only [-] people, fighting horses and camels on their shoulders, and the food they brought is only enough to support them for ten days.But yesterday there was no ration for one meal, and today there is ten days of food and grass, and the defenders are all encouraged by the news.

The siege battle is the most difficult. If the attacking party is not so strong that it scares the defending party to open the city and surrender, even if it is captured, the attacking party will suffer heavy casualties.

This time Xihai State attacked the city, because of Shi Liang's tenacious resistance, and the imperial army ran out of ammunition and food, and the mourners were fighting for their lives. The casualties of the Western Navy were more serious than that of the imperial army.

It was a battle that was determined to win, but the result was heavy casualties. The king of Xihai was furious. He originally planned to attack the city again the next day, but news came from behind that a lot of food had been intercepted by the imperial army.

Seeing that the king of Xihai had already eaten Baiheba to his mouth, he vomited wherever he was willing.He hurriedly ordered the treasurer to count the food taken away by the imperial army and calculate how long the imperial army could last.Knowing that the food taken by the imperial army was only enough to last for ten days, Xihai Wang said: "The imperial court only sent 3000 people, and these people are probably here to capture Huo Lie.

It is still difficult for a large number of reinforcements to arrive within three months, and the food and grass of the imperial army can last for ten days. We will attack the city again in half a month, vowing to take down Baihe Dam.We always suffer from the condescending side of the imperial court where Qianwei is located. This time we must secure the Baiheba, the garrison guard, and let the Han court try the feeling of being strangled by someone. "

Terrain has always been an important factor in the relationship between victory and defeat in war.Because the Weisuo area is a natural moat, after the imperial court occupies the Weisuo, even if there are a thousand and 1 hearts in the Xihai Kingdom that go straight to the Central Plains, it is difficult to cross this barrier.Now that Huo Lie handed over the guard, how could the King of Xihai spit it out easily.

He also said that the emperor's eldest grandson, Jia Lian and his party traveled day and night, but they traveled more than ten days later than Liu Ping and his party.Thinking of the lagging nature of the ancient military situation, Jia Lian thought about it for a while, and after approaching Yangguan, he suggested that the emperor's grandson divide into two routes, one out of Yangguan and the other out of Yumenguan.

Since Xihai Yanzi got up early to fight, there may be battle reports sent to Beijing at any time. If you walk through a single pass by yourself, you are very likely to miss the battle report. It is better to go out in two ways. Can you know the latest battle situation.If someone dares to be a deserter, once intercepted, he can be arrested as soon as possible, and if he encounters resistance, he will be executed on the spot.

The emperor's eldest grandson was very reasonable, so he and Jia Lian went together, and ordered the Jingying Jiedu envoy to take another way and leave the customs separately.

The eldest grandson of the emperor brought [-] soldiers out of the capital. After entering Shaanxi, he used the military talisman to conscript [-] soldiers and horses from the governor of Shaanxi. After arriving in Gansu, he conscripted another [-] soldiers and horses.This is just a vanguard. The governors of Shaanxi and Gansu are on standby at any time. If the battle ahead is tight, they will immediately lead troops to reinforce them.

In addition, Jia Lian's suggestion to divide the troops into two routes and leave through Yangguan and Yumenguan respectively was originally just to avoid misunderstanding the military situation, but who knows that there is such a coincidence in the world.The eldest grandson of the emperor led people away from Yumen Pass, but he ran into King Nan'an who was disguised and tried to sneak back to Beijing to sue for crimes.

King Nan'an brought his cronies and pretended to be a merchant, so it was not easy to be discovered.Just because the emperor's eldest grandson was traveling with him, Jia Lian and his team were very careful, and they decided to leave the customs at this day, and before dawn, Wei Jiu left the customs an hour earlier to explore the way.Wei Jiu is such an astute person, he immediately found out that although King Nan'an and his party were dressed as businessmen, the footsteps and movements of the accompanying people could tell that they were martial arts practitioners, and their kung fu was not weak.

Wei Jiu knew that the wartime was not as good as in the past, and the military situation ahead was urgent, so he rushed straight up to ask the opponent's identity, while shooting a loud arrow into the sky.

The grandson of the emperor saw the arrows ringing in the news, and ordered the gate guards to open the gate ahead of time, and a group of people left the gate in a mighty manner.Nan'an Wang's cronies are naturally strong in martial arts, but what kind of person is Wei Jiu?As soon as the two sides exchanged hands, the opponent felt that Wei Jiu was like a ghost, so fast that he couldn't even see clearly.

I saw Wei Jiu dodging in the heart of Nan'an Prince, the dagger passed by, and three guards died in Wei Jiu's hands in an instant, and then the bugle sounded, and the emperor's eldest grandson came towards him with an army.

Seeing the arrival of the imperial army, the King of Nan'an hurriedly stepped forward and cried according to his plan, saying that Shi Liang had defected to the enemy and he had no choice but to return to Beijing to report the news.
