Two days later, Li Guangli, who was following the post road, heading towards Yumen Pass from the northern foot of Qilian Mountains, received an urgent report from Luntai.m.x.

"Li Ling is a general!" Li Guangli compiled the secret letter in his hand into a ball, gritted his teeth and said, "This guy is really promising!"

If you want to ask who is the person Li Guangli hates the most in his life?

Li Ling is definitely among the top three!

The conflict between him and Li Ling back then caused a riot in the court and the world, and the whole world was filled with people.

When Li Ling was training troops in Jiuquan and Zhangye, he reported to the court every day, accusing him of suppressing, not giving resources, and restricting his activities.

That's all.

The key point is that when Chang'an public opinion set off a trend of "General Ershi is just a talented person in the commander, but His Majesty is trying to help grow", it was Li Ling who was pulled out to be his opposite.

At that time, public opinion blew Li Ling into the sky and the earth, and there was nothing more than that.

What is Changping Liehou's second place, champion Jing Henghou's heir...

But Li Ling himself is indeed successful!

Since he was a small Jianzhang Palace Supervisor, he has already left his peers behind and became the most outstanding young general in the Han Empire.

Later, he was ordered to lead 800 cavalry to penetrate thousands of miles into the hinterland of the Huns, and returned across the Hun River, which shocked the court and the country.

Because, the last person who could play like this was called Huo Qubing!

That period was the hardest time for Li Guangli to live.

Even more uncomfortable than the rise of General Ying Yang.

Because at that time, his foundation was not stable, but he had just finished the Dayuan War.

The two attacks on Dayuan made him accept ridicule and whiplash from all over the world.

Everyone was questioning him, even the officials and soldiers of the four Hexi counties doubted his abilities.

Countless people are investing in Li Ling and currying favor with Li Ling.

Fortunately, Li Ling broke into Junji Mountain, which made him breathe a sigh of relief and his status became stable from then on.

It can be said that Li Ling's defeat was an important condition for him to firmly sit in the position of the largest general of the empire and monopolize military resources in the past few years!

Now, this former opponent and enemy have become his real opponent!

"Call all officers above the lieutenant immediately to discuss matters!" Li Guangli gave an order with a cold face and made an extremely serious order.

Li Ling is a general!

This is his challenge!

It's also his chance!

As long as you defeat the latter on the front battlefield, you can use undoubted facts to tear the faces of the literati and gossipers in Chang'an!

He also corrected his name with the entire General Ershi!

on the contrary……

Li Guangli knew that the consequences were probably unimaginable.

……………………………………

At this time, the war on Lingju's front line had been burning for two days.

Standing on the top of the city, Fan Mingyou looked at the Qiang army that was retreating like a tide and couldn't help but sweat.

In the past, the Han people were very contemptuous of the Qiang people, thinking that these Hu people were vulnerable to the five scumbags of fighting!

However, now, no one dares to think so.

Indeed, the Qiang people's organization was extremely chaotic, and attack and retreat were not as good as the armed fights of the peasants in Guanzhong when they robbed water.

but……

These people are not afraid of life and death at all!

They came overwhelmed like locusts.

Crowded with countless flags, crowded with people, like mountain torrents, unstoppable!

The cavalry of the Yuezhi people were mixed with them and suddenly rushed out, putting great pressure on the Han army.

After two days of fighting, most of the border walls and beacon towers on the outer side of Lingju had been destroyed by the Qiang-Hu coalition forces.

Now, they have arrived at the periphery of Lingjusse and can threaten the fortress.

With the destruction of the outer wall of Lingju, the entire Jianhe River basin was opened.

If Lingju City had not firmly guarded the important road leading to Hexi, so that no army could bypass Lingju and enter the hinterland of Hexi, I am afraid that the Qiang people would have flocked to Hexi County at this time.

Even so, small-scale penetration began to appear.

Since yesterday, there have been dozens and hundreds of Qiang people, swimming through Jianheshan Gorges and running towards Hexi.

Of course, what is waiting for these people must be the ruthless interception and killing of soldiers and militias in Dunhuang and Jiuquan County!

But, this will not work.

"We must take the initiative to fight back!" Fan Mingyou turned his head and said, "It is absolutely not advisable to guard the border wall!"

Passive defense is equivalent to giving the initiative to the enemy, allowing the enemy to choose when to attack and where to attack?

Moreover, the Han army is not the army that was extremely familiar with the defense of cities and defense decades ago.

The current Han army is fundamentally an army born for attack.

Nowadays, there are more than 10,000 cavalry gathered in the tens of thousands of troops near Lingju and Lingju.

This cavalry can be completely involved in the counterattack, rather than now, and can only stand by on the order in the plain behind Lingjusai.

"No!" Zhao Xindi, who represented General Ershi, was responsible for coordinating with the Han army, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has given me the order, just let me hold on, and not let me attack!"

Zhao Xindi is Li Guangli’s loyalty!

This man who was born as a farmer and couldn't read a single word, although he was brave enough to be unattainable in Hexi.

But, he was very dull in war.

He only knows how to follow and follow the plans assigned by Li Guangli and does not know how to adapt.

"But now General Ershi has left!" Fan Mingyou looked at Zhao Xindi with red eyes and said, "The general is outside, and the king's order is not accepted! The way of general is changeable!"

"General Zhao should have seen it too. In the past two days, our army has tried hard to defend, but there are too few enemies that have killed and defeated!"

Lingju's defensive weapons, such as bed crossbows, car crossbows, wood, rolling stones, etc., were urgently added before the war.

However, there is still a serious lack and it is difficult to support long-term defensive operations.

The edge walls of Lingju or the entire Hexi are far less solid than the Great Wall.

This line of defense is quite fragile and can only serve as an early warning, intercept and hysteresis.

The real defense is to maintain it by choosing fortresses built in passes and important places when building the side walls.

However, even Hangu Pass, which was once the best in the world, could not resist the attack of the rebel army.

What's more, this Lingju, who can't even catch up with Hangu Pass, or even Xiao Pass?

Moreover, based on Fan Mingyou's understanding of the Qiang people, he knew that if they did not give the Qiang people a fierce blow, their morale would only increase and their condition would become more and more crazy!

However, Zhao Xindi shook his head like a rattle: "No! Without General Ershi's order, my cavalry would never attack!"

In my heart, Zhao Xindi's thoughts are much more lively than his superficial appearance.

For Zhao Xindi, just keep guarding Lingju and drag it on.

Anyway, reinforcements from Beidi County and Longxi County will arrive in a few days.

By that time, the Qiang people and the Yuezhi people should have been almost dragged under the Lingju City.
Chapter completed!
