In the north of Lanyi City in Jinzhou, on the banks of the Shigouzi River, nearly [-] soldiers and horses lined up along the Shigouzi River. A large number of arrows were transported from the city to the banks of the Shigouzi River. Build fortifications.

Fang Rushui has made up his mind to stick to Lanyi City, hold back Ganhou's army, and buy time for Chu Huan.

In fact, everyone knows that there is not much food in Lanyi City, and there is a serious shortage of troops. Facing the [-] army of Marquis Gan, if you really want to stick to it, you won't be able to hold on for long.

Lanyi City belongs to the northern city, and it has been breached by the Xiliang people before. Although the Xiliang people retreated and carried out some repairs and reinforcements, the whole city is still not strong. And the strength of the army, it can't last ten days at all, and there are only two dangers that can stop the Northwest Army.

The Langya Valley Road is narrow and tortuous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Fang Rushui knows very well that as long as enough troops are deployed on the Langya Valley Road, and they will stick to it to the death, even if Marquis Gan has more troops, it is impossible to break through the Langya Valley Road. As the state city of Jinzhou, the city has seen this heaven-sent wolf tooth moat.

After Fang Rushui discussed with He Kui, He Kui personally sat down on Langya Valley Road.

Not afraid of the enemy attacking from the Langya Valley Road, but afraid of internal problems. Just last year, Zhang Shuyan and his son guarded Jinzhou. They thought that no one could open the Langya Valley Road, but in the end Chu Huan used tricks to steal in and broke it. Jinzhou, with the lessons learned, Fang Rushui did not dare to think that the Langya Valley Road is a monolith, so he asked He Kui to guard the Langya Valley Road, so that nothing would happen.

The only place the Northwest Army can attack is the Shigouzi River.

As long as the Shigouzi River is guarded, the Northwest Army will not be able to enter the city of Lanyi, but Fang Rushui is also very clear that the Northwest Army may not be able to defeat the Shigouzi River in ten days and a half months. With enough superior forces, if they really want to launch a general attack, Shigouzihe still can't stop them.

Although he gave orders to the whole army to stick to Lan Yi and wait for Chu Huan's reinforcements, he also knew in his heart that Chu Huan was going to face Zhu Lingyue's Tianshan Army, and [-] Black Wind Riders would come out in full force. It was not yet known who would win and who would lose. All the soldiers and horses in Huan's hands were used to fight Zhu Lingyue, and there was still a chance of survival. If it was said that troops were sent to rescue Jinzhou, the possibility was very slim.

But he can't let the Golden State soldiers lose hope.

He Kui said it well, Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to get righteousness, Fang Rushui didn't read many books, but he understood what benevolence and righteousness are, and turning his back on Chu Huan at this time might really be able to find a good future for himself, but From now on, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold between heaven and earth.

If you treat me like a common man, I will treat you like a common man. If you treat me like a gentleman, I will repay you with all my blood.

Fang Rushui has made up his mind, so naturally he has no distracting thoughts. He only thinks that he can drag the Northwest Army along day by day. To be extremely difficult.

The marching speed of the Northwest Army was indeed not slow, but within three days, the Northwest Army had already approached the other side of the Shigouzi River, with banners unfurled, soldiers and horses like clouds, Fang Rushui personally sat on the riverside, leading the whole army to stand ready.

Shigouzi River is the largest river in the north of Jinzhou. In the large area from Shigouzi River to Yanmenguan, there are not many water sources, and the people near Lanyi City also drink water from Shigouzi River. It has raised countless people on both sides of the river, but soon, perhaps this clear river will be stained red with blood.

After the Northwest Army arrived on the other side of the river, only a few miles away from the river bank, they set up camp and did not launch an attack immediately.

For the next two consecutive days, the camps of the Northwest Army were stationed in place, and no soldiers even tried to cross the river to launch an attack. There was a stalemate on both sides of the river.

Fang Rushui knew that this was the silence before the war.

In order to prevent the other party from sending spies to dive across the river to find out news, he sent patrols to patrol the river day and night all the time, to prevent anyone from the Northwest Army from crossing the river.

"General Qi, Mr. He sent someone to report that outside the Langya Valley, a Northwest Army has set up camp there, but it has not launched an attack on the Langya Valley." It is not far from Shigouzi River. Inside the big tent, a soldier came to report: "Mr. He and the soldiers and horses of Langya Valley are waiting in full force. Let the general rest assured that there is no need to worry about Langya Valley."

Fang Rushui ordered, "Come and report the situation over there at any time!"

There is no doubt that the Northwest Army is divided into two groups, one is preparing to cross the river to attack, and the other is planning to launch an attack from Langya Valley, but Fang Rushui knows in his heart that the real main force of the attack can only be on the side of the Shigouzi River However, although the Northwest Army also deployed soldiers and horses outside the Langya Valley, it was undoubtedly a suspicious army, just to contain the Jinzhou soldiers and horses in the Langya Valley.

In the face of absolute strength, Fang Rushui knew that all schemes would be useless, and the next thing he could do was fight Gan Hou with real swords and guns.

Fang Rushui was prepared to fight to the death, and the Jinzhou soldiers waiting by the river were also prepared for the same.

Another two days passed, but Fang Rushui became more and more strange.

Although there are many camps on the other side of the river, the Northwest Army seems to be preparing to settle here. It doesn’t seem like there is any sign of launching a battle across the river. I occasionally saw some soldiers coming out of the camp to fetch water from the Shigouzi River and return to the camp. There is nothing special about it. movement.

It's like two families living across the river, so calm that they don't seem to have the chilling atmosphere of a war.

Fang Rushui knew that Marquis Gan was a brave general in the battlefield, not only brave, Marquis Gan was also a bit of a flamboyant person, when he fought against the Xiliang people, he made the Xiliang people suffer a lot.

Now Marquis Gan has the absolute advantage, but he is only in front of Chen Bing, avoiding and not fighting, which makes Fang Rushui always feel that there is something wrong in it.

Not only Fang Rushui thought this way, but all the generals under Fang Rushui also felt that things were weird.

What bothered Fang Rushui the most was that the Langya Valley Road and Shigouzi River were tightly guarded. Although they blocked the Northwest Army's way to capture Lanyi City, they also blocked their own way out, putting the whole Lanyi at risk. In the situation of no foreign communication.

The last letter sent from Lanyi City was to Shuoquan to report to Chu Huan that Marquis Gan had mobilized troops and was heading towards Lanyi City. After that, there was no more letter sent. Because the road was blocked, Fang Rushui couldn't get news from Shuoquan or even Hezhou. He just had a vague feeling that since the Marquis of Gan had arrived near Lanyi City, Zhu Lingyue's Tianshan Army might have already died at the moment. Troops were sent to Xiguan, but Fang Rushui and Lanyi City knew nothing about the specific news.

The Langya Valley road is holding firm, and the Shigouzi River side is also holding on. The Northwest Army outside the Langya Valley is stationed in camp, and the Northwest Army on the other side of the Shigouzi River is also silent.

But the sky is not so beautiful, and the wind and sand started to blow up again in the past two days. Although the wind and sand are not too big, the space between the sky and the earth is gray. It is on this side of the river. What kind of scene it was, but he could see it very vaguely. Fang Rushui was worried that the other party would take advantage of the wind and sand to attack him, and ordered the whole army to be on high alert.

Another two days passed, and there was still no movement from the other party. Fang Rushui understood that the matter must not be simple. That night, he sent a general named Zhao Dahong to lead a few capable soldiers into the river secretly. Spy around the other side's camp to see what Ganhou is up to. In Fang Rushui's view, there is only one possibility to explain this abnormal situation, that is, the entire army of the Northwest Army is waiting here, and the Northwest Army is waiting here. The rear of the army is rushing to build ships, waiting for the ships to be built before launching an attack.

But to build ships, not one or two, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have to cross the river, and the number of ships manufactured will not be a small number, and some movements must be made to some extent.

But now the other side's camp was deadly silent, and the soldiers of the Northwest Army seemed to be sleeping there day and night, saying that they were recharging their energy, but this kind of scene was too outrageous.

Crossing the river to inquire about the other party's movement is naturally extremely dangerous, but if there is negligence, it will fall into the other party's hands, and it is close to death.

Zhao Dahong was also a brave man, and the selected soldiers were all brave and fearless warriors. After dark, Zhao Dahong led people from the camp to sneak down the river, quietly, and dived to the opposite bank to inquire.

Fang Rushui waited anxiously after Zhao Dahong left.

If the opponent did not manufacture ships, and did not sit idly by because of this, then Marquis Gan must be playing tricks. Fang Rushui still knows a little about Marquis Gan, knowing that this person sometimes uses unexpected tricks. What is the opponent's plan now? , it was really hard for him to guess.

In the past few days, he was sleepless day and night, exhausted, waiting in the big tent, and fell asleep on the chair in a daze. He didn't know how long it had passed, but he heard a voice from outside: "General, Zhao Dahong and the others are back!"

Fang Rushui heard the sound in a daze, and immediately came to his senses, got up abruptly, and said urgently: "Let them in quickly!"

When Zhao Dahong came in, his clothes were still wet, he entered the tent, and before Fang Rushui could ask, he said, "General, something is wrong, there is something wrong there!"

"Dahong, don't worry." Seeing Zhao Dahong panting heavily, Fang Rushui poured a cup of tea and hot water for Zhao Dahong himself, and handed it over, "Take a sip of water and talk slowly, what's going on?"

Zhao Dahong took the tea, drank it down, wiped the corners of his mouth, frowned and said, "General, I didn't see anyone in the Northwest Military Camp across the river bank... No, there are people there, but the humble officer sneaked around half of their camp. In the circle, I haven’t seen 100 people in total... Flags are planted all over their camps, and lights are indeed lit in many tents, but there are no soldiers in the middle of the tents...!" Loudly: "Bring in...! "Xiang Fang Rushui explained: "General, we caught a tongue over there!"

Several wet soldiers pushed and pushed a soldier of the Northwest Army who was stripped naked and only wore a pair of trousers. His hands were tied, and when they arrived in the tent, they immediately pushed the man down and knelt down——

ps: There have been a lot of things in the past two days, please forgive me, I will add more codes when I have time, sorry.
