Seeing Song Jun leave, Li Gou'er stood up from the sand pile, looking melancholy. The past two months have become too fast, and the things that have happened in her life seem to be less than those two months.

Liang Sanchu said: "No need to see, the Song army has gone far. I went back to report and said that the Song army would leave after breaking the village and never stay. Moreover, the surrendered soldiers were not killed, and the population of each village is still there. Remember, don't say much about the rest."

"Why do you say these people? What does these people have to do with us, whether they die or live?"

Liang Sanchu shook his head: "As long as the population is still there, Xia Kingdom will send troops to rescue. Anyone can do anything, how can they give up?"

Li Gou'er nodded in confusion. He didn't know what Liang Sanchu meant, so he was too lazy to ask.

The two of them traveled south to Ma Nan and crossed the Hengyang River. Both of them were in a heavy mood. Not far south, there was the Dangxiang tribe, and they didn't know what the way forward.

While walking, I suddenly saw a horse coming. I stopped in front of the two of them, and a knight shouted, "Who are you?"

Liang Sanchu bowed: "I came from the Song Dynasty and got the general's order to check the whereabouts of the Song army."

The knight said, "Go back quickly and summon your tribe! The Prime Minister has sent a command to Xiazhou to order troops and go north to join the army coming from Xingqing Prefecture to recapture the lost land! You people will be counted as Prime Minister Wu Tiemen, and will reclaim the fields in Quye River!"

Li Gou'er was ecstatic when she heard this and thought she had heard it wrong. When she was about to ask again, she saw that the riders had already gone north.

After staying for a while, Li Gou'er said to Liang Sanchu: "Brother, weren't you dreaming just now? The person who came said, let's go back and click on the tribe, and follow the army northward, and you will become the prime minister tribe in the future!"

Liang Sanchui also breathed a sigh of relief and said to Li Gou'er: "You heard it well, our lives have been saved. But you don't have to be happy. What is considered a prime minister and tribe? It's just farming for his family. What's the good life!"

Li Gou'er said repeatedly: "It's good to be alive! It's good to be alive! Are you unhappy to be alive!"

Dongshengzhou General Secretary, Du Zhongxiao, read the official documents in his hand and said to Han Qi on the side: "My husband, the newly obtained news is that Wu Zang Epang has decided to lead troops to rescue Zhulun Village. He left Xingqing Prefecture, and the Hengshan soldiers from Xiazhou all the way, and the specific forces are unknown."

"Have you sent troops?" Han Qi stood up suddenly, "Is the news true? Our army has retreated, but Dangxiang has sent troops!"

Du Zhongxiao stood up and said, "No wonder. The army came, and if they win, they can boost morale. If they don't win, they can build the destroyed fortress. Those are private wealth without collectors. Wuzang Epang loves money like his life. How can he bear it? But they can rebuild it, and we can destroy it again."

Speaking of this, Du Zhongxiao shook his head. I don’t know what Wuzang Epang thought. This time, the Song army destroyed the Dangxiang Village Fort in Quye River like autumn wind swept away fallen leaves for several days. Why did Wuzang Epang have any fantasies? What’s important this time is not the result of the battle, but the Song army proved that the fort such as the past is useless and cannot stop artillery at all. Wuzang Epang rebuilt the fort and sent troops to destroy it. How many times can he do it?

But then again, the fort has existed in that area for hundreds of years, so why can’t it work now? It’s not easy for the thought to turn around without seeing the scene of artillery attacks in the city with your own eyes.

Han Qi walked out of the case and said, "Whoever cares about Wuzang Epang? As long as he sends troops, we will go to Tiande Army! As soon as the Dangxiang army left Xingqing Prefecture, he will attack Heishan Military Supervisor Office with all his strength. After defeating Heishan Military Supervisor Office, he can be in Xingqing Prefecture in the south, and around Helan Mountain in the west, attacking Liangzhou. The world will be very different from then on! This is the most powerful place in the Han Dynasty, Jiuyuan, Shuofang, and the north and the southward road, which is the most powerful place!"

Du Zhongxiao was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Han Qi to be so excited. He thought the war on the southern front was too smooth, which gave him more hope for the northern front.

If the Northern Line is victorious, the importance is not to be discussed. It is different from the Southern Line, which will directly change the strategic situation between the Song Dynasty and Dangxiang. The Heishan Military Supervisor Office was roughly the two counties of Jiuyuan and Shuofang during the Han Dynasty. After a long period of reclaiming, the agricultural foundation is good. The land is fertile and the ancient rivers and canals are crisscrossed. As long as it is renovated, it can become a fertile land and can accommodate a larger population.

This is an important road to the south of the northern grasslands. There is a valley road passing through Yinshan, and its geographical location is extremely important.

From the south of the Jin Dynasty, Hequ became a pasture for nomadic peoples. Although the Tang Dynasty was reclaimed, it was far from the scale of the Qin and Han dynasties. After the wars in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, the population here fled, the land was abandoned, and now it is sparsely populated. Although the geographical conditions were superior, it was not developed under the rule of Dangxiang, and it is now a grassland pasture. The reason is simple, Dangxiang lacks population and the surrounding area of ​​Xingqing Prefecture has not been fully developed. How can we take this into consideration?

After occupying that area, the Yellow River went south and the troops were approaching Xingqing Prefecture, directly threatening the core of Dangxiang. The west could bypass Helan Mountain, attack Xiliang Prefecture, and seize the core area. Dangxiang was no longer a whole, but was divided into Hengshan, Xingling and Hexi, and was attacked everywhere.

In addition to political reasons, the most important thing for Du Zhongxiao to fight this battle is to seize this strategic location and form a strategic advantage over the Dangxiang.

After walking in the room for a while, Han Qi said to Du Zhongxiao: "The significance of this battle is different from the destruction of Quyehe villages in the south, and there is no need to be any mistakes! Make arrangements quickly, we will go north to the Heavenly German Army and command the army to destroy the Heishan Military Supervisory Office in one fell swoop!"

Du Zhongxiao said: "It should be like this. I have a wide range of eyeliners. As long as Wu Zang Epang's army leaves Xingqing Prefecture, we will go north immediately. Dang Xiang's army comes east and cannot be underestimated. Wu Zang Epang's personal visit, at least tens of thousands of people, Dongsheng Prefecture must be fully arranged. Also, we must prevent Wu Zang Epang from attacking Linfu Road. My husband issued a document to let him defend properly. It is February now, and the war between Dang Xiang will not last long. As long as Su Qi guards carefully, Dang Xiang will not have a chance. If necessary, the troops on Hequ Road can attack Dang Xiang's side to save Linfu Road."

Han Qi nodded. He was the Hedong General Commander and wanted to coordinate the entire Hedong Road military. He could not be confused and just think about the Tiande Army.

After thinking about it, Han Qi said, "What if Wu Zang Epang came to attack Dongshengzhou? If things go wrong, let Su Anjing leave the Linfu Road."

Du Zhongxiao said: "At the critical moment, this should be done. Of course, it is best not to have any accidents. There are seven or eight thousand soldiers left here in Dongshengzhou and enough artillery. Liu Jun is in charge. Even if Wu Zang Epang brings a hundred thousand troops, he will not be able to capture it in one or two months. In one month, we can lead the army back from the Tiande Army. Without Quyehe Fort, there is no supply, and relying on the rear to transport grain, there is a thousand-mile desert in the middle. When will Wu Zang Epang support?"

Du Zhongxiao didn't believe that Wu Zang Epang could threaten Hequlu. After several months of shooting, the cannon was extremely sharp, far beyond Du Zhongxiao's previous imagination. So far, no matter whether it was attacking or defending, whether it was Khitan or Dangxiang, Du Zhongxiao had not seen any means of being able to deal with artillery.

After Du Zhongxiao entered Hequ Road, he vigorously rectified the Fan tribe. Now Hequ Road does not even need to be strong walls and cleared the fields. Except for various cities, it is difficult to see households in other places. Several cities are solid and intact, and the Song army has artillery to defend the city, so it is difficult for Dangxiang to get close to it.

After discussing with Han Qi for a while, the two of them went outside, called Liu Ji, and discussed setting up defense together.

Pointing to the map, Du Zhongxiao said: "Wu Zang Epang comes. If you attack Linfu Road, Liu Junzhu will send troops to attack his side. If you come north, you must attack Jin Su's army. This city is a key place. Zhang Ji and Yao Shouxin come back and let them station Jin Su's army without returning to Dongshengzhou. All the artillery brought are used to strengthen the defense of Jin Su's army. The army leader does not choose cavalry. If you encircle Jin Su's army, go and tamper with food and food routes. Let Jin Su's army prepare more military rations and be prepared to defend for more than three months. If Wu Zang Epang dares to siege the city and do not leave, three months later, even the army he led will stay here!"

Liu Ji nodded: "Relaxed the situation, the city of Jin Su army has been strengthened, and two small cities have been built one south and one north, which are much larger than the previous city. Thousands of soldiers and more than one hundred cannons are as solid as gold. Even if Dangxiang is spreading his troops, it will not be easy to capture it."

Du Zhongxiao nodded. He had guns and cannons, and his combat power was different from the number of people he had before, but it depends on the firepower of both sides. The firepower of the Dangxiang army could not even support the metal arrows of the crossbows, let alone facing guns and cannons.

The Yingtianxiang army came from the north, and the Khitan dared to come, and Dangxiang dared to come, but they did not realize this change. In terms of firepower, the combat power of their army was far from that of the Yingtianxiang army. The Yingtianxiang army did not divide its troops, and such large-scale wars rarely resulted in accidents.
