"Then let's stay here." The eunuch surnamed Huang said curiously.

This was the idea that Wang Ju's mind had come up with a sudden move. He left this eunuch for him to witness it with his own eyes. After the war, he reported everything after returning to the capital that after the war, everyone could not erase the military achievements of Qingzhou.

He asked him to go back and tell Zhao Xu that Zhao Xu would underestimate the enemy in the future, and he would have a reason to convince him. Huachi had a "50,000" army, while Xixia would have a "50,000" army, a large river, a desert, and too many harsh terrain to be used.

I am familiar with my own terrain in Huachi County, and in Xixia, my terrain in Xixia.

If you underestimate the enemy, you will lose.

Moreover, the attack on Xia in Xining was several important turning points in the Northern Song Dynasty, no less than the mistake of suddenly turning the gun head in the late Northern Song Dynasty and joining forces with the Jin people.

Wang Ju ordered one by one to go.

But there was another guest, not a guest, but a family member.

Li Fei'er brought Erniu and the crown prince with him.

Wang Ju asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Why didn’t I bring my second brother and third sister to Huachi? It’s not for today? But today, why do I have to leave them in the Li family?

Li Fei'er said: "I heard that Wang Lang was in danger in Huachi and wanted to come and see him, and his parents agreed."

Li Fei'er is simple-minded and wants to overcome this difficulty with her fiancé. However, the Li family may not have such a simple mind. Wang Ju's prestige is getting higher and higher, but he has never gotten married. The marriage is still a bit lingering. If his daughter wants to come, then come over. This can be regarded as a struggle. However, although this mind is not simple, it is not a bad thought.

Li Fei'er said again: "The second brother and third sister are going to come too. I didn't let them come, but when I left Yanzhou, they came secretly."

"Brother, don't blame my sister-in-law, I came here by myself." said the crown prince.

"Brother, you are in danger, we will accompany you too." Erniu said.

Wang Ju was a little moved. What else could he say? Besides, since they are here, they will send them back. What do the people think?

"Come on when you come, and just stay in Huachi from now on. After this battle is over, I will plan to see if I can run a county school." Wang Ju said.

In the past, Huachi County was larger than the present. The imperial court established a county and also appointed inspectors. The scope of jurisdiction was not only the current Huachi Fengchuan Pingrong and Liyuan Fort, but also the Rouyuan Village and Huaian Town. However, with Li Yuanhao invasion, Huachi County was abolished and changed to a town. Later, the county was established, but there was a village in front of Dashun City, so together with Dashun City, Rouyuan Village and Huaian Town were taken over by Qingzhou.

With these invasions in history, the Han people fled Huachi County again, leaving only a group of Fanzi and military camps. Therefore, after Xining prosecution of the county and Bingzhou, Huachi County was changed to Huachi Town. Even because there were few Han people, the town was no longer qualified. It simply changed to Huachi Fort.

Later, Wang Ju didn't know about this history, but he vaguely knew that if he did not bring some good measures, Huachi County would sooner or later. Once his efforts over the past year would be wasted.

But he has been hesitating.

The more troublesome thing is the Xinjiang Ball Fort. If the people want to stop losing them, the Xinjiang Ball Fort must be taken down, so the Xixia will plunder and the impact will not be too great. There is a stable rear and a large number of Han people farm. Only by continuing to retain the establishment of this county.

But even this Xinjiang Basin Castle also had a headache.

According to Zhang Yue's opinion, the castle was finally captured. Of course, Wang Ju also wanted to capture it, otherwise how would so many Yeli people be resettled?

But Cai Ting disagrees. In this battle, Cai Ting's main purpose is to repel, not defeat. Cai Ting also wants to defeat, but defeat is different from repulsion. It will take a lot of risks, and even if it is not done well, it will backfire. It is easy to repel. It is prepared for so long and it will not be too difficult to just keep the forts.

One defeats and the other defeats, and two results will be formed.

Defeating is not only a great achievement, but also a great damage to the Xixia energy. Then it may not be able to recover within two years, so there will be no problem in winning the Xinjiang Ball Fort. As for two years, let alone Wang Ju, even Cai Ting himself, I don’t know where to transfer it.

If the Xixia people repel, the vitality of the Xixia people will not be severely damaged. If they win the Xinjiang Ball Fort again, the Xixia people will inevitably take revenge in the autumn next year. But then the Xixia people will not underestimate the enemy. The victory or defeat is between two factors, and the defeat of Qingzhou is greater than the victory. After all, they are the power of a country.

However, the risk of defeat is too great, so Cai Ting chose a stable side, so he opposed the acquisition of Xinjiang Ball Fort.

Wang Ju was also a little hesitant. It was not unreasonable that Cai Ting repelled means great achievements, and there is no need to take that risk. If it weren't for the Yeli clan, Wang Ju would have decisively chosen to repel this one.

It was not until Wang Ju made up his mind after his younger brother and sister and his fiancée arrived.

This is a difficult choice. Not only will it defeat the Xixia people in this battle, but it will take the Xinjiang Ball Fortress, and do a good job in post-war education, people's livelihood and other aspects, so that Huachi County will not be laid off in the future.

…………

The battle began again.

Twenty thousand Xixia troops arrived at the city of Liyuan Fort.

Song Ji said: "General Ye Bu, launch a tentative attack first, don't really attack."

"Okay, I'll just listen to you once." Ye Fengma said excitedly.

He was finally able to use troops to Huachi County. There have been so many things that made him so angry that he was so angry that he was now able to take revenge.

The trumpet was blown, and ladders were lifted out by hitting the wood. At the same time, shields were protected by them, and archers were cooperated on the side to fight back against the city wall.

Because it was a tentative feint, the soldiers became calm and orderly.

Hearing the Xixia blowing the horn of the attack, Liyuan Fort immediately became silent, and only the cry of some women and children came out faintly. Another neighing of war horses came out from the city. This is normal. Huachi County organized nearly 2,000 cavalrymen. How could there be no horses in Liyuan Fort? But the soldiers were dressed neatly and began to go to the city to prepare for the battle.

Ye Fengma immediately shouted, "Count the number of people."

More than a dozen soldiers stood everywhere and counted the Song army forces on the top of the city.

The rain of arrows began to intertwin, and the underworld on the top of the city was like terrifying swarms of locusts, flying in the sky. The war began.

At this time, the power to siege the city of Xixia appeared again. No matter how orderly it started, it was impossible to pose any threat to Liyuan Fort when it was really siege. At this moment, Yao Yi gave an order and said, "Prepare to launch."

There are also tiger cannons in Liyuan Fort. After more than a dozen roars, Ye Fengma immediately issued a retreat order.

Even this feint attack, more than one hundred people were killed or injured.

"General Ye Bi, what I said is not false?" Song Jibiao said. Don't talk about the small Liyuan Fort, you really want to attack with a life force. Don't talk about seven days, even more than ten days may not be able to capture it.

Ye Fengma's face was gloomy and asked, "If that were the case, a big city like Qingzhou and Yanzhou would be unable to conquer it?"

"That's not necessarily the people on the front line. But when they arrived in Yanzhou, Qingzhou, it almost meant that they could attack Qingzhou in the rear. Dashun City and Liyuan Fort had already been taken down. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty had no more than 100, and there were no soldiers to defend the city and no strong people. How could the Song people defend it? I won't say anything else. If the Song Dynasty hadn't had good luck in attacking Yanzhou, it would have snowed heavily after the first month. Will Yanzhou have been captured long ago?"

"Yeah, have you counted?"

More than a dozen soldiers answered one by one, and they could only say that it was an approximate number. About two thousand soldiers were wearing armor, and there were still one thousand five hundred people without armor. The ones wearing armor must be officials of the Song Dynasty. Those who did not wear armor may not be officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty. Many officials of the Song Dynasty also lacked armor. They wore leather armor, paper armor, and cloth armor.

This also verified Song Ji's view. Liyuan Fort was stationed with about 3,000 Song Dynasty officers and soldiers, who might be less than 3,000, and also organized some foreigners who entered the fort to join the defensive army.

"Song Mie, you are right," Ye Fengma said with relief.

Liyuan Fort sent out 3,000 troops, how many remaining troops can there be? I think there are only 1,000 troops stationed in Huachi Town, so Huachi City will be destroyed.

"General Ye Bi, don't worry, wait for another day. Let the soldiers rest for a day and recover their physical strength. The troops on Jintang City are also approaching Pingrong Town. Once Huachi Town divides its troops, the city will definitely be taken down, and General Ye Bi can make a great contribution."

"Okay, let's listen to you."

Ye Biaoma ordered camping.

At this moment, the Ma Lai reported: "General, the Xinjiang Basin Fortress has also sent troops, and the troops are coming to Rouyuan Village."

"Okay, okay," Ye Fengma said happily. The troops all the way out. Even if Qingzhou has troops, they must save Rouyuanzhai first. Without Qingzhou reinforcements, they will be more confident in taking Huachi Town.

The Song Dynasty was not without soldiers in the northwest. As mentioned in the edict last year, there were 301,000 soldiers in Hebei and 459,000 brave soldiers in Shaanxi, and the general managerial department was trained, so there was no need to take over. In this way, a few months later, an edict was issued to send 20 battalions of imprisonment troops to separate the garrisons of Binzhou, Yongxing Army and Hezhong Prefecture. The other two places had nothing to do with Qingzhou. The more officers and soldiers of Binzhou sent Cai Ting and Wang Ju had a big plan.

That is, the forces of various troops in Shaanxi have reached more than 460,000. Of course, most of them are miscellaneous soldiers, but these miscellaneous soldiers cannot be underestimated. Except for the charity, which is a joke, the remaining Poche and Fanluo have stronger combat power than the imperial soldiers. Even if the strong men and strong horses are well organized, they are not inferior to the imperial soldiers.

If these troops were gathered together, only Shaanxi would have defeated the entire Xixia army.

In fact, there is no need to be too much. According to Zhang Yue's statement, the enemy attacks our A and I attack enemy B, and these forces will play a role.

In fact, such a strange system in the Song Dynasty could not have been able to exert this advantage in military strength.

If Dashun City had not been blocked by the Wuchuan Ancient Road and the 100,000 troops of Xixia were heading east, the entire Qingzhou would have been sieve.

But now it looks like a dangerous one.

Seven or eight thousand Western Xia troops went out of the Xinjiang Bayou Fort. Although this road is not as good as the Wuchuan Ancient Road, it can transport some food and grass. In a sense, the Xixia army behind Dashun City and the army in front of Liyuan Fort were just connected.

And the troops and horses were skillfully done. When they came to Rouyuan Village, they looked and did not attack Rouyuan Village, but instead divided their troops to attack the foreign villages of Shaoquqi behind Rouyuan Village.

Cai Ting was firmly clearing the world, and entered the fortress near the fortress, and entered the major villages without the fortress, and joined forces to protect them.

This strategy is relatively wise, unless, like Zhao Sishun, two small villages came to their village, Zhao Sishun surrendered and was forced to surrender. The women and children were sent to Dashun City first, entered the Xixia army as hostages, and the remaining Ding Zhuang followed Ye Biaoma to attack Huachi Town.

But this is an example.

The remaining major villages are supporting the protection, and the attack will definitely be able to be captured, but the Xixia people also have to consider whether it is worth it. However, this Xixia army changed its strategy and took the initiative to attack Quqizhai. They had their intentions. Ding Zhuang of these three villages was drawn into strong men and entered Rouyuanzhai.

Now that my hometown is in danger, these strong men are not at ease, which forces the officials of Rouyuanzhai to go out of the city to fight them.

Then the opportunity comes.

Of course, Ye Fengma and Song Ji would not do this. Compared with the forces in front of Rouyuan Village, Huachi County has fewer troops. Even if they killed all the villages together, Huachi County officials and soldiers would not be able to do so.

The effect was immediately achieved, and Zhang Yu was forced to take the initiative to fight.

At this moment, Wang Ju sent a letter, which only said one sentence in it, "I believe that General Manager Zhang must send troops to attack the enemy camp at night. Can you wait for me for two days?"

Zhang Yu held the letter and asked in surprise: "How did Magistrate Wang expect that I would attack the enemy camp at night?"

This is amazing. (To be continued)
