King of Song

Chapter 276
"In Jiangning?" The iron-faced suzerain asked in surprise.

Layman Jinghe said in a deep voice: "Yes, this girl is from Jiangning, her surname is Meng, she seems to be called Meng Ruoying!"

"Okay, I'll send someone to investigate right away. As long as there is a name and surname, I believe there will be news soon!" The iron-faced suzerain is full of expectations and a little worried.

Layman Jinghe said: "She said that the jade pendant was a gift from my lover, maybe it is my child who has been separated for many years..."

"pretty close!"

That's what I said, but no one can be sure until someone is found.

"By the way, there is a woman beside this Miss Meng, named Gu Yuelun!"

"Yes!"

"And..." Jinghe layman hesitated to speak, as if hesitating.

Sect Master Tie Mian obviously noticed the change in Jing He's expression, and asked in a deep voice, "Ma'am, what's wrong?"

Jinghe Layman pondered for a moment, then said: "Ms. Meng accidentally mentioned that my lover went to the Northwest for business. Could it be that he is a member of the Gongmen?"

"Young Master is only 20 years old. Even if you are studying, you have just passed the imperial examination. It shouldn't be...Could it be that Young Master is a small official in the yamen, or..."

It doesn't matter what other identities are. What worries the Sect Master the most is that if he finds the wrong person at all, then the joy will be in vain.Hearing these seemingly insignificant news, he was somewhat disturbed.

Layman Jinghe said: "It's been 20 years. We don't know what he looks like. Let's look for the current clues first. There is a little bit of progress."

"Okay!" This is the only plan for the present, and the iron-faced suzerain is also helpless.

But when it comes to Northwest, he can't help but feel a little sad, with a different feeling.It has been more than 20 years since I left there. I think how high-spirited I was back then, but now it is...

Ugh!
Going to the Northwest for business?The identity of the son is becoming more and more special.However, it is also a clue. If we work together, starting from Jiangning, Bianjing, and Northwest at the same time, there must be results soon.

The battle in Dashun City was still fierce, and it was already the third day.

Jing Sili thought that the limit he could hold on to was five days, but now it's only a little more than half of it, and the pressure is already so huge that he almost can't stand it anymore.

Lin Zhao was in charge of guarding the east wall with 400 soldiers, and the four walls had a total of 600 soldiers.As for the remaining [-] people, they are used as a reserve team, and they will go to support at any time when there is a critical situation.

On the Dongcheng side where Lin Zhao is located, more than 200 people have been killed in three days, and the remaining 300 people are more or less injured.

The first two days were fine, after all, there were defensive weapons such as kerosene and stones.

However, because the Xixia people's attack was too fierce, their weapons were consumed quickly.By the next afternoon all the oil and stones had been consumed.

Originally guarding the city, boiling water is also a good weapon.However, there is a shortage of water in Dashun City, only a little bit is the source of life, and there is no room for such a waste.

Ever since, on the third day, even though there were still bows and arrows available, the effect was obviously somewhat different, and some were not satisfactory.As a result, the number of hand-to-hand combats increased, and the casualties became more serious.

A heart-piercing cry came from the top of the city, and half of a shoulder of a soldier of the Song Army was cut off, and he fell down wailing.Lin Zhao's eyes were full of hatred, and he rushed forward with a loud shout, and the Arab dagger was slashed, killing a Xixia soldier.

On the top of the city, such scenes are constantly being staged, and the cruelty of war is vividly displayed at this moment.

After paying a heavy price and defending extremely hard, the Song Army finally held off the Xixia people temporarily, and finally lasted until the evening of the third day.

When the news of Mingjin's withdrawal came, when the Xixia army receded like a tide, all the Song soldiers at the top of the city sat down on the ground, exhausted.No one cares about the blood on the ground, or even the remains of their companions, they need rest too much.

Lin Zhaoqiang supported his body and stood at the top of the city, watching the Xixia army gradually retreating.As well as the corpses piled up on the top of the city and under the city wall, I couldn't help feeling that war is really cruel!

In the face of the brave Xixia people, fortunately there is still a fortress to defend.

The Xixia army is good at cavalry combat, and field combat is undoubtedly their strong point. Relatively speaking, they are much worse at attacking cities and villages.Therefore, a fortress was built in the northwest to establish a complete defensive front.It is very effective to eliminate the advantage of Xixia cavalry in this way. It has to be said that Fan Zhongyan's strategy is very wise.

Even so, Song Jun also paid a huge price, even if he succeeded temporarily, it would be a miserable victory.And in the process, the siege tactics of the Xixia people have been improving.

After all, it has been 30 years, and it is impossible for Xixia people to keep running into a wall and be helpless.They are also gradually exploring, and now they have achieved initial results. The siege battle is also orderly and extremely brave.

It is impossible for the fort and the city wall to stop the Xixia cavalry all the time, and the border of the Song Dynasty is still in jeopardy.If we want long-term peace and stability, we must find a way to completely eliminate the Xixia people. Perhaps offense is the best defense.

However, the current situation is not optimistic!
Dashun City is almost unable to hold on anymore. Today was a miserable victory, but it might be able to hold on tomorrow!But what about the day after tomorrow?By that time, how many soldiers will be able to move in the city?

It's a very critical moment, but when will the reinforcements come?What exactly is Li Fugui doing?Why are the reinforcements still missing?
In Dashun City, all the soldiers were a little anxious.

In fact, Song Jun was anxious, and the Xixia people were also anxious.

For three full days, the Xixia army still failed to capture Dashun City. This result made Liang Yibu a little unhappy.

In front of a small fortress, it is a great test for the overall combat effectiveness of the Xixia army to attack with several times the force.At the same time, he couldn't rush in and catch Lin Zhao as soon as possible, which made Liang Yibu feel a little uncomfortable, and also hurt his face, and felt that his face was dull.

"General Yeli, it's been three days, and Dashun City hasn't moved at all, should you think of something else?" Liang Yi's face darkened, and his tone was very rude.

Ye Lihan said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, even if the opponent's strength is small...the difficulty of this battle has been expected before, please forgive me."

Liang Yibu said in displeasure, "It's true that it's difficult, but why don't you invest all your troops and make a quick victory?"

"National Prime Minister..."

At present, only about [-]% of the troops are actually engaged in the siege. As for the other [-]%... Ye Lihan explained in a deep voice: "Minister of the State, the Song army is going to be unable to hold on. There will definitely be reinforcements from Qingzhou and Liyuan Castle. Waiting for work with leisure, and ambushing halfway, will produce miraculous results."

"Miraculous effect?" Liang Yibu snorted coldly: "Whether the Song Army will come to the rescue or not? You want to wait for the rabbit, but what if the rabbit doesn't show up at all?

On the contrary, it is a small city of Dashun. If it cannot be attacked for a long time, it will be very detrimental to the reputation of Xixia warriors. You should know which is more important. "

Ye Lihan was really helpless, he didn't have the strength and courage to challenge Liang Yi at all, so he could only give up his own ideas and fully meet Liang Guoxiang's request.

He didn't know that the reason why Liang Yibu made such strict demands was not to maintain the dignity of the Xixia army, but to avenge his personal revenge...

Ever since, all the Xixia army was mobilized to the city of Dashun.An extremely large force launched another attack on Dashun City...
