Chapter 497
The Mongolian army continued to approach eastward, and the army formation stretched for tens of miles.

The envoy sent by Lu Wende traveled more than a hundred miles, and it took a day to rush back from Jianmenguan to Lu Wende's camp in the old city of Cangxi County.

Cangxi County has been moved, and the soldiers and civilians have all arrived in Dahuo City.

Dahuo City was originally guarded by Yang Dayuan. After Yang Dayuan surrendered, the mountain city was owned by the Mongolian army. This time Mo Ge left more than a thousand Mongolian army behind.

Today, what Lu Wende was doing was trying to regain Dahuo City and connect his defense lines together.

"What a bad day! Yang Dayuan, a hozen, once he surrenders, it will take me a lot of effort."

The siege was not going well, Lu Wende had been yelling curses in his tent for a long time.

Although he is vulgar and has never read military books, he has a natural sensitivity to the battlefield. He is only the commander of Shu, and he has already felt that Yang Dayuan's surrender has a very profound impact on the situation.

"If you don't take down Dahuo City, how can I fight this battle? I can withdraw! Let me be demoralized! But Lu Laosan, please listen to me clearly. If I, Lu Wende, can no longer fight, the court will not allow me to fight again. Let you grandchildren continue to enjoy the blessings!"

Lu Wenfu had no choice but to say: "Brother, don't worry, give me a few more days, and I will definitely recover this mountain city."

"Li Xia is also a dog hozen. It's not good to let the Mongolian go through the sword gate. He has to block his mother's way... Has the messenger come back?! Why hasn't the little hozen sent troops yet? The Mongolian is already in my ass!"

"I gonna go see."

As soon as Lu Wenfu turned around, he walked out of the tent.

Lifting the curtain, he finally let out a mouthful of foul air.

His eldest brother, Lu Wende, has been in a high position these years, and he is usually a bit more refined.But the more fierce the battle, the more violent the temper.

This battle has only just begun, and there is still more to bear in the future.

Finally, just hearing the sound of horseshoes outside the camp, Xinma came back.

……

"Why didn't he reply to Lao Tzu?"

"Commander, Li Xia said that he didn't see Lu Dayong, maybe he was shot and killed by the Mongolian army on the way."

"Damn it. When will he send troops?"

After the messenger reported in detail, Lu Wende suddenly picked up his big boots that were one foot eight inches and threw them on the ground.

Stinks.

"What did the little hozen say? Damn it! I dare not stand my handsomeness. Damn, you are even more arrogant than Liu Zheng! Shi Kui, you lead 1000 people to Jianmen Pass, and give it to me..."

"Brother, it's not right." Lu Wenfu hurried forward and said, "Brother wants Li Xia to send troops, isn't it because of insufficient troops. The day before yesterday we sent 1000 people to guard Liu Zheng, and today we sent 1000 people to guard Li Xia. How many troops are left?"

"Father, Third Uncle is right." Lu Shikui also persuaded, "Li Xia didn't say that he would not fight. The world of Jianmen is dangerous. It is understandable that he needs to rest after conquering the pass. It is nothing more than waiting a few more days."

Lu Wende was furious, and shouted: "Which one is Shu Shuai?!"

Lu Wenfu had no choice but to wave back the others, and then said: "Brother, Li Xia is different from Liu Zheng, this little bastard is also a man of Enxiang. Why should I annoy Enxiang because of these few days of hard work?"

"Is this a matter of a few days' work?" Lu Wende finally stopped cursing, and said with a sullen face: "This kid doesn't take me seriously."

"No, no. After all, he is not as pedantic as Wang Jian. He is willing to make meritorious deeds. He said that he took the order of his elder brother to recover Jianmen. Compared with it, he is thoughtful."

Lu Wende finally calmed down a bit, and said: "Send someone to continue to urge him, tell him that his official edict is still here with Lao Tzu, finish the battle earlier, come and get it sooner."

He also muttered something.

"I can't wait to let you lead the troops out, and be killed by the Mongolian army. Let the Mongolian army walk through the sword gate, and I will cover up the killing behind..."

It's hard to say whether Lu Wende really thinks that way or just speaks quickly.

But Brother Mo was not easy to provoke, since he decided to take the Mi Cang Road, he quickly set up his formation and attacked Lu Wende fiercely.

After just two days, Lu Wende was starting to feel overwhelmed. Fortunately, he had a navy across the Jialing River, which slightly made up for his weakness in the field.

After fighting hard for a few more days, seeing that Li Xia hadn't sent troops from Jianmen Pass, Lu Wende was furious, and planned to retreat at night after the day's fighting was over.

As for Li Xia, it's just waiting for him to be dealt with by military law.

However, at dusk during the battle, the banner of the Mongolian army on the other side of the Jialing River was suddenly waving, and they retreated slowly.

"You son of a bitch, the troops are finally dispatched."

Lu Wende cursed secretly, boarded the warship himself, crossed to the other side, and led the elite to hide and kill the Mongolian army.

This battle can be regarded as a small victory. Although not many enemies were killed, it also opened up the aura of the Lu family army and boosted the morale of the army.

Unfortunately, the Mongolian army soon withdrew its front and stopped heading west.

Lu Wende looked into the distance and didn't know what was going on with the vast Mongolian army, so he had to call Jin back to the camp, and kept sending sentry horses to investigate.

"Damn it, did Li Xia attack the Mongolian army? They were defeated so quickly? The Mongolian army didn't even pursue them?"

It was not until late at night that the sentry horse came back.

"Report to the Commander! The Jianmen Pass defenders have won a big victory..."

"Fart! Do you think I'm blind?"

"Commander, the guards at Jianmen Gate have recovered the Kuzhu pass..."

Lu Wende flew into a rage again.

He already felt that he was being played by Li Xia.

Kuzhu Pass is on the top of Xiaojian Mountain in the southwest of Jianmen Pass. Zhang Shi and Yang Li failed to hold it last year and were conquered by the Mongolian army.

But this mountain city is dangerous, and the area on the top of the mountain is not large, so there is no way to station a few troops.

The Mongolian army was beaten like this, and the sweat was dead.Li Xia had already conquered the Jianmen pass, and as long as the Mongolian army could attack the bitter bamboo pass, it didn't take many people to take it back.

It was agreed to attack the Mongolian army together, but this kid is making such a fuss, what is Lu Wende if he is not playing tricks on him?
"Even if I don't want to fight this battle, I will deal with this little bastard!"

"Commander, General Li... Li Xia wants the villain to tell the commander that he attacked the bitter bamboo pass in order to attack the main force of the Mongolian army without any worries. He is willing to visit the commander in the next few days to show his sincerity."

Lu Wende's face was gloomy, like a dark cloud, about to drip water.

Thinking that Li Xia is also a member of Jia Sidao after all, and he is in the same party as himself, he calmed down his anger again.

Attacking the Kuzhu pass first is nothing more than not wanting to cause too many casualties, which is barely understandable.

"Go and tell him, I'll wait for him for another three days, and if I don't move again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

~~
Outside Zhaohua city.

The Song army has begun to set up camp and build siege equipment.

Li Xia patted the shoulders of each soldier and walked through the queue.

Ahead, Kong Xian was still looking at the top of the city with a rather emotional expression.

"Over the years, Wang Dechen has kidnapped too many people to Lizhou..."

"Yes, so when we attack the city, try not to attack violently. I have ordered Pifeng to go around the city from the forest to see if we can dig a tunnel and collapse the city wall."

"Is it too slow?"

Li Xia said: "Don't worry, we are here to recover the old land, the less casualties the better, for us, and for the people in the city. In the long run, what we need the most is population."

Kong Xian deeply agreed, and said again: "But what I'm worried about is that Lu Wende won't be able to hold on, so let Brother Mo rush to Hanzhong first..."

There was the sound of horseshoes coming from the plank road in the distance.

A knight Pegasus rushed to Li Xia.

"General, Yang Ben has regained the Kuzhu pass. Lu Shuai sent three more batches of messengers, telling the general to send troops immediately..."

"You have worked hard, go and rest first."

Li Xia turned to Kong Xian and said, "General Kong, please feign a frontal attack and cover up for Pi Feng."

"The general is leaving now?"

"I have to go see Lu Wende, otherwise I won't be able to hold him back."

What should be explained has been clearly explained, Li Xia got on his horse and galloped towards Jianmen Pass again.

He wants to attack Lizhou and let Lu Wende follow his strategy, neither of which is easy.

Speaking of which, Cao Youwen, Yu Jie, Pu Zezhi, even Yu Hui, the Shu Shuai of the Song Dynasty, did it easily?

Then Li Xia had to work harder on his own, in exchange for Lu Wende's ease...
