On November 3, the Zongcheng Camp was held.

The blood-crying document of Xiaosilu came again: Our guerrillas have completely lost their spirits and can no longer stop the crazy Manme from entering Xining Prefecture to massacre. If the city massacre occurs again, my wealthy Hehuang area will never recover from this. Your volunteer army has had enough rest after crossing the Huangshui River. It is necessary to quickly support the western battlefield and hold Manme's plan to enter Xining Prefecture. On the night of October 30th, Xiaosilu, the governor of Aizhou in the Song Dynasty, and the letter is respected by the King of the Privy Council.

Wang Rong could only sigh at this, and it was beyond the reach.

Whether a bloody tragedy occurred in Xining Prefecture is no longer something that Wang Rong can control. It can only be said that people are doing things, and God is watching, and doing things must have a price. Manme means that Xixia’s actions in this area will definitely be liquidated. Unless he can destroy the Song Dynasty together, the bills will not disappear and the interest will roll at any time!

Now even the political aspects of both sides are intertwined. Wang Rong received the document on withdrawing troops from Fu Bi, but Wang Rong did not agree with the current ending of shaking hands and making peace, while Han Qi gave Wang Rong a default support.

After all, the default support is limited. Politically, it is now possible to return peace to this region and both sides withdraw from the battlefield. However, if Wang Yun's de facto refusal to withdraw troops, if Manme really slaughtered Xiningzhou, then this political bill will be counted on Wang Yun's "no order".

On the surface, Xixia would benefit from the bloody purge of Xining Prefecture. But it was just on the surface. Because Zhuo Luolan's ideas were different from them, Zhuo Luolan should be clear that once Xining Prefecture was bloody, Xixia and the Song Dynasty would have no room for maneuver and Tubo, and then Wang Rong would no longer be able to let the Xixia Expeditionary Force leave this land.

So the conclusion is: the people who can stop Manme from slaughtering Xiningzhou are not others, but Zhuo Luolan. It depends on whether she dares to act.

In view of this, Wang Rong replied to Xiaosila: I understand the difficulties and expectations of your troops. But now it is a war, and there will be bloodshed. Many things depend on the will of God. Some people in Xining Prefecture chose to stay. This is the result they need to face. The deployment of my volunteer army is to win the Battle of Hehuang as the highest strategic goal, not to save Xining Prefecture. It is recommended that your troops not be stubborn and take this opportunity to quickly guide the people and guerrillas that can be guided and gathered together. Now that winter is approaching, it is not suitable for guerrilla tactics. What I need now is to keep warm. All I can promise is that in the Zongcheng, whether your tribe guards or the people of Hehuang, you can get food and clothing and resist the cold. As a responsible power, the Song Dynasty will do its best to recover this blood debt for your troops. On the night of November 3, Wang Yun, the general of the Song Dynasty's Volunteer Army, Shu Jingleila...

"Report"

On November 6, the reinforcements of Jishi Army had not arrived, and the second phase of Funing County shipment had not arrived, but the soldiers who were investigating along the river hurriedly entered the camp command center to report: "I know that the movements with the Southern Army Office are strange. It seems that they have given up on the southern line and started to repair bridges from north of Anlong this morning. It seems that they want to pass the Huangshui River, which will directly threaten our Zongcheng camp."

Finally, it's still here. Zhuo Luolan really has the courage?

Wang Yun quickly walked to the map to watch. Zongcheng was not far from the water crossing place reported by the scouts. In theory, cavalry could radiate.

"Do you attack and stop them from crossing the water?" Chen Ergou asked anxiously.

Wang Rong thought for a while and nodded, "We must stop it, otherwise we will have to fight mobile wars again. This is not something that people do in winter."

He also said: "But have a plan and don't be confused by Zhuo Luolan's smoke."

"What's the solution?" Mu Guiying asked.

Wang Yun pointed to the map and drew with a horse whip: "Now, she basically controlled the entire Huangshui River, but she chose to build a bridge in an area not far from the Zongcheng. We soon discovered that it was definitely smoke, it was a breeze, a bridge that was built secretly across Chencang. In addition, her 25,000 army could not rely on just one ferry. Technically, there would be many ferry crossings. So there was no need to think that the location we discovered was just a small part of her suicide squad, and the real main ferry crossing was elsewhere."

"So, where is the main ferry?" Ma Jinxi asked silly.

Wang Rong gave him a palm on the back of his head and said, "If you ask me who I want to go, do you really think I can tell fortunes."

Mu Guiying said: "This will be troublesome. Now our troops are very limited and we cannot attack from multiple sides. If we divide too few troops, even if we find the ferry and have the advantage of a flintlock, it will be difficult for them to withstand their forced ferry."

Wang Yun slapped the table with a palm and said, "Fight! Dead horses are used as live horses. If she successfully crosses the Huangshui River, I will have a pill. I will pass on my order. The Funing Army forces are divided into multiple units. Go south to bypass the known Zhuo Luolan River Crossing Point and ignore them. Continue searching. If you find it, you will beat me to death. You cannot let them cross the river. Another part searches eastward. I suspect that there will be Zhuo Luolan's ferry in Minhe area. After finding it, I will fight me to death."

"If that happens, the sect city will be empty, and what should I do if the close-range ferry known now?" said Ma Jinxi.

Wang Yun waved his hand and said, "If the clan city is empty, let it be empty. In short, if we can't stand her crossing the river, we will not be able to defend the clan city, and we will give up the clan city sooner or later. As for the known ferry, there must be smoke, but a small group of Xixia troops are bluffing. I personally lead the fifty farmers and use strong turbulent oil to block the river to teach them how to be a human being."

All the people fell to the waterfall, the great demon king had a very big idea, and he actually wanted to bring fifty farmers to withstand the forced crusade plan of the regular cavalry of the Xixia army. This is too...that's what. But today, according to his prestige that has reached its peak, no one will question it.

So everyone stood attentive.

In short, the current situation is: With limited power, how many days can Zhuo Luolan be blocked south of the Huangshui River? Everyone is unsure of this point, and it is completely unsure of when the Jishi Army will arrive. Everything depends on luck.

However, there is one thing that everyone is not worried about. The worst case is to give up the base and enter the maneuver again. Everyone has blind confidence, and the Great Demon can still lead everyone out of the darkness in the most difficult mobile war...

Outside Zongcheng Town, which has weak defenses, the Huangshui River, with a wide front line, has entered a chaotic situation, and ordinary people can no longer walk near the river.

Because the fierce battle to defend the Huangshui River has been launched for seven hours.

From night to noon, wars flew along the Huangshui River. Zhuo Luolan's corps obviously violated Man's order and attacked the whole line everywhere, with the purpose of forcing the Huangshui River. They launched a forced crossing plan at the same time in Minhe, Tonghuang, Ledu, Suiyuan, and even Baosai.

The Funing Army has weak strength and the entire Huangshui River line is too big, so it can't be blocked even if you want to.

In addition to the five known ferry areas, Wang Yun believed that Zhuo Luolan had more than these ferries, she would even extend the front line to Qingtang and Ningxi. There were some main forces in those positions, and it was impossible for Wang Yun's troops to stop them.

In other words, the extremely smart Zhuo Luolan is replicating the original "Hundred Regiments Breakthrough" tactic. The cost of this process will be more painful, but it is like a fish crossing the river, and in the end it will save her main force and use it to deal with the Northern Line and Wang Yun's troops.

Unless she was killed by Manme for "violating military orders" due to internal conflicts, the Zongcheng base will no longer be safe in the visible time and will sooner or later be eaten by her heavy soldiers.

Fortunately, in order not to allow Wang Yun to cross the Huangshui River, the entire river bridge was destroyed by Zhuo Luolan. The temperature is now very cold. In this case, if you have to encounter water and build a bridge with the Southern Army, you have to face the volunteer flintlock rifle snipers with a very long range on the other side of the river. Therefore, even though there are many passages at Zhuo Luolan ferry, the progress is limited for the time being.

The arduous battle to defend the Huangshui River lasted until the early morning of November 8th. Seeing that the weak Funing Army was unable to effectively stop Zhuo Luolan's main force from crossing the Huangshui River while separating its troops, Wang Yun temporarily adjusted his tactics and contracted.

In the camp of the Volunteer Army's Clan City, Wang Yun didn't even wear armor because the weather was already very cold, so the metal armor was a "radiator" when worn on his body.

After walking behind his hands for a while, Wang Yun pointed to several areas of the military map: "In the visible areas, Zhuo Luolan's troops attacked the ferry crossings, including Yu Minhe, Tonghuang, Ledu, Suiyuan and other areas. I also led fifty farmers to attack the ferry crossings at Tonghuang Ferry and blocked them with strong tinder oil. But the effect was too poor. Because the flow rate of Huangshui was too fast, it was difficult for our army to form an effective defense line."

"I had to go to the Funing Army with two thousand people left. Now it is divided into four units, relying on the range of the flintlock rifle to block them. But the efficiency is too low, and it can be seen that Zhuo Luolan is here this time, no matter how much it costs, so in the future, I think that the main force of Zhuo Luolan's army has passed the Huangshui River, which has become an irreversible fact."

At this point, everyone took a deep breath of air conditioning. There was no doubt that Zhuo Luolan's troops would definitely attack the sect city base after passing through the Huangshui River.

Wang Rong looked around and said, "You can't be stubborn when fighting. Sometimes you can win, but sometimes you can't win. Since you don't rely on our army's will as a way to change, my rules are not to worry, let go, and turn to do what we can do."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Then what can we do?" At this point, Wang Yun pointed to two maps again: "There are too many ferries that cannot be sealed, so why not go back to my earliest thoughts. It is better to break one of my fingers than to hurt ten fingers. Since it cannot be sealed, then it is not sealed. We really can't control the farther Ledu and Suiyuan areas, so we focus on the Minhe and Tonghuang Ferry that pose the greatest threat to our army."

"How to do it?" After a pause, Wang Yun said in a shocking voice: "Retrieve the scattered troops and concentrate them on the two areas of Tonghuang and Minhe to attack. On the surface, our army still had a situation where our army was not strong enough and could not defend the two ferries. He deliberately let some Xixia soldiers cross the river, and then burned the bridge with strong turbulence to stop them from crossing the river. The hidden troops came out and broke the brigades of Tonghuang and Minhe to fight the two ferries."

After a pause, Wang Yun said again: "Doing this is indeed a harm to the Western Xia army, but it is still effective and unable to reverse the passiveness of the northern Huangshui District. But in the absence of help, it is better than not doing it, which weakens their morale and strength. As long as we can eat the two water-crossing forces of Tonghuang and Minhe, Zhuo Luolan's water-crossing troops will be concentrated to the west of Huangzhou City. Then even if there is no interference, her main force will regain and suppress our zongcheng base eastward. At the same time, her main force must cross the Huangshui and Ruhe intersection again."

Wang Yun pointed to the map: "What happened to this Huangshui fork? Dong Jiong, who was very enthusiastic at the beginning, took the initiative to attack here, but was blocked by Zhuo Luolan's musket regiment at the Huangshui fork. So as long as our army shrinks its strength, Yu Minhe and Tonghuang win, there will be a time difference in theory at the Huangshui fork again, copying and posting Zhuo Luolan's tactics against Dong Jiong."

"If she doesn't want to fight the Huangshui Chakou Campaign, she must bypass the longer tributary Ruhe. Then she has to walk at least four more days, take a detour from the Nanzong area, and re-encircle our army. With this time, our tactical breathing will be even greater."

Hearing this, Mu Guiying took a deep breath, feeling that the Great Demon King had a lot of brains and courage, but it was also a feasible strategy.

However, Mu Guiying also pointed to the map and said, "What we need to remind my husband is that if our army does not pull him away immediately and stays to force the Huanghe Minhe, even if we can achieve complete annihilation, Zhuo Luolan is likely not to fight with our army at the Huangshui Fork. She will really detour the Nanzong area. Then once her main force marchs quickly and effectively uses the time difference to march to the Nanzong area, it is equivalent to our army entering the pocket. At that time, there was a heavy army seal in the north, and the south and east, our army faced the encirclement of the Tianran Hetao. Is it impossible to penetrate the siege under such circumstances?"

Wang Rong nodded and said, "The possibility you mentioned is, so this is a competition of efficiency and speed. If the marching speed of Zhuo Luolan's main force is greater than the speed of our annihilation of Tonghuangmin and the two ferry corpses, then our army will indeed be in a state of encroachment."

After looking around here, Wang Rong said again: "Is there any help? I want to see if there is one. The premise is that we must defeat the two corpses of Tonghuang and Minhe forcing the crusade. If we can wait for the reinforcements of Jishi Army to arrive during this period, we will defend the city and drag down Zhuo Luolan's troops in the cold winter. If we can't wait for the Jishi Army, then our army will cross the Huangshui River again and pull the team away from afar. When she comes to the northern area, we will return to the southern area. I and this woman are all in a state of mind. She is simply in dispersed."

No one said anything more, and everyone stood upright: "See your husband to the people of Tonghuang and the people of Tonghuang, and try to annihilate the Nantong Mi and Wass Corps!"
Chapter completed!
