Emperor Dangxiang Li Liangzuo walked outside Yanzhou City with his horse held his head and his chest held high. There were several important cities in the northwest of the Song Dynasty, both military bases and political and economic bases. Yanzhou was one of them, including Qingzhou, Qinzhou, Weizhou, etc., which were roughly lined up along the border.

If Li Liangzuo conquered Yanzhou City, the two or three hundred miles of area near Yanzhou Prefecture would be in danger immediately. With the power of great victory, Li Liangzuo would inevitably expand the territory of Western Xia and insert a sharp sword into the northwest of the Song Dynasty.

Li Liangzuo fought Qingzhou and failed. Now he went to Yanzhou again, but Li Liangzuo was very confident. This time he came quickly, and the 100,000 troops were almost unstoppable. From Youzhou, passing Longzhou, then Suizhou, Qingjian, and Ganqi retreated as quickly as Li Liangzuo came.

When the army arrived at Yanzhou City, Li Liangzuo immediately ordered a hundred thousand troops to be divided into all directions and surrounded Yanzhou City. The Song Dynasty court sent a young top scholar to command the war, just like the former Emperor Renzong sent Han Qi to the northwest. The opportunity given by God must seize this opportunity and reappear the scene of the great victory of the water and river in the past.

Liang Yimeng constantly dispatched troops and arranged personnel to besiege the responsible areas of the city. Wu Zong began to organize manpower to build siege equipment.

Li Liangzuo was watching everywhere, with longing in his heart urging everyone to step up the errands at hand.

Gan Qi was watching from the top of the city, and from time to time he wrote letters and ejaculated.

Whenever Gan Qi wrote a letter, Li Liangzuo would open it and see it himself. Not only did he read it, he would also read it in public in the tent of the central army: "Li Liangzuo is a thief who goes against you, and a thief who has lost his power... God will condemn it. If he retreats quickly, the two countries will be safe and sound. If he insists on his own actions and waits for the power of the Song Dynasty to come, he will teach the party to destroy the country and destroy the clan... Haha..."

Li Liangzuo's readers scolded him and laughed loudly. After reading it, he raised the letter and said, "Gan Qi, aren't you stupid to read?"

Wu Zong continued: "That's true for those who are sour, it's childish and ridiculous. Your Majesty, do you want to reply?"

Li Liangzuo asked, "What are you replying to?"

"Your Majesty, I think you should persuade him to open the city and surrender." Wu Zong replied.

Li Liangzuo nodded: "Yes, I advise him to surrender, I'll tell you to write."

Wu Zong hurriedly took the pen and listened to Li Liangzuo and said slowly: "Gan Qi, I heard that you are the top scholar of Song and the emperor's brother-in-law. Now you have been besieged by my 100,000 troops in Xixia. You have no way to survive. If you don't want to see the heavy casualties of the military and civilians, if you open the city to surrender, I will not treat you badly. You are the top scholar. I will arrange a high-ranking official and deputy prime minister for you. How about it? You will still make you rich and prosperous. If you don't listen to my persuasion, when the city is broken, I will hang your head on the wall of Yanzhou, so that everyone can see the consequences of opposing me."

After Wu Zong wrote, Li Liangzuo asked him to read it, and Wu Zong immediately read it: "I am willing to meet each other. I heard that I am willing to meet the top scholar, and I am a relative of the royal family. I cherish it very much. The two countries are fighting and have no choice. Now the city is trapped, and millions of people will have no way to live. I think of the suffering of the military and civilians, and the life is in trouble. I can't bear it. If you are willing to surrender, I will treat you well, thinking of the prime minister's honor, and I cannot enjoy the glory and wealth. What? If you are determined to die, I will do it. When the city is broken, I will take your head and hang it on the top of the city to warn others. I hope to think of it, I will stop fighting and stop fighting, and I hope both countries will make good use of it."

After Wu Zong thought about it, Emperor Li Liangzuo was unhappy and said, "You are not good at writing, just write as I said."

"Yes, you are so kind of writing. Song Gou will be afraid of what His Majesty said." Liang Yimang seemed to think that Wu Zong was not good at writing.

When Wu Zong heard this, he had no choice but to write and then rewritten it.

The letter was sent into the city wall by arrows. Gan Qi laughed so hard that he also passed it on to everyone, and then said, "So I write a letter to scold him, scold him for being untrustful and unrighteous, scold him for being ambition, anyway, how bad it sounds. I also want to say that the millions of troops of the court will arrive soon, so that he can leave quickly."

When Zhang Qi wrote a letter and scolded, he wrote it on his pen. Gan Qi was too lazy to read it, so he just asked him to ejaculate after finishing writing.

Some people were asked to join the city to shout and scold, but the content was settled, and the millions of troops in the court were about to arrive, so Li Liangzuo quickly ran away with his tail as if he was in Longzhou City.

Gan Qi always used millions of reinforcements from the court to scare Li Liangzuo, obviously doing it on purpose.

Li Liangzuo looked at the letter and said, "Does the Song people really have reinforcements?"

Liang Yi immediately replied: "Your Majesty has arranged a cavalry to patrol around, and there are no reinforcements. Even the gates of nearby cities are closed. Under our party's iron hooves, how dare anyone rescue them?"

Li Liangzuo shook his head and smiled: "The more people don't have anything, the more they want to use it. If you speak, you will be a million troops. Regardless of whether I believe it or not, I will ask him whether he believes it or not."

Liang Yimeng said again: "It seems that Gan Qi will not surrender easily."

"I don't cry until I see the coffin. I ordered the army to set up a formation on all sides and start attacking the city. Let's see how brave the Gan Xianggong is and how many days can he hold on." Li Liangzuo wanted to give Gan Qi a little color.

"Your Majesty, I'm asking Song Gou to see our strength. Maybe I'll scare you a few times. That Gan Xianggong might have opened the city and surrendered." Liang Yimian said, and he thought so in his heart. After fighting with Song for so many years, he has never seen such a greedy and fearful coach. He ran faster than a rabbit.

The camps of the Dangxiang Army had not yet been built, so hundreds of long ladders were built first. Early the next morning, the horns and drums were heard, and a hundred thousand troops were scattered around, crowded with people, and countless flags were fluttering in the wind.

Li Liangzuo, sitting on the high platform, could even imagine Gan Qi's panic expression in the city. After chasing him all the way, Gan Qi was already a stray dog.

After the 100,000 troops were arranged, the commissars from all over the place came to report. Li Liangzuo waved his hand and the drums sounded like thunder.

The siege really started to attack the city. Although many things were not ready, Li Liangzuo did not think about attacking in one battle, but the siege battle began like this. The purpose was to scare the top scholar in the city who was stupid in his studies and was trapped in the lonely city, without reinforcements coming everywhere. Facing the siege of the 100,000 troops, he saw whether the top scholar could still sleep tonight and whether he would have nightmares at night.

There are hundreds of simple long ladders, and the continuous continuous Dangxiang people climbed the city walls.

The soldiers of the Western Army were already familiar with defending the city and did whatever they should do, and even Gan Qido didn't need to worry about it.

Gan Qi didn't even go up to the city wall. Last time he was hit by a big stone, he was afraid that he would be unlucky and was hit by an arrow in the eye.

Gan Qi no longer dared to treat himself as a son in any form. He shouted this last time. He was stunned by the stone just after he shouted it.

He screamed and screamed, Gan Qi frowned and listened, and was waiting.

There are many forts and villages near Yanzhou, such as Yanchuan City, Yanchang Wall, Linzhen City, Ganquan City, Fuzheng City, Qingjian City, etc., and there are more small forts and villages, Wan'an Village, Yongping Village, Dantou Village, Xinzhai, Jinming Village, Ansai Village, Anding Castle, Pingrong Village, Saimen Village...

The construction of fortresses was a national policy in the northwest of the Song Dynasty, especially important frontiers such as Yanzhou. The surrounding fortresses were like ants and were covered with stars. Each fortress was actually not big. Even if there were two or three hundred troops garrisons in normal times, the radius was only a hundred steps.

The significance of the fortress is to protect the border, protect the border people, and be used as a military outpost, and prevent the enemy from coming and going too easily. The fortress also has an offensive purpose. If a fortress is successfully built north, it can push the border line north for more than ten miles. This policy was formulated by Fan Zhongyan in the past and is quite clever.

Shi Honglei is in Ganquan City in the south of Yanzhou City. Ganquan City is a small city with only three or four thousand residents. The garrison originally had more than two thousand troops, but was transferred away before and is now by Ganqi's side.

But more than ten thousand iron armors came in this small city, and Shi Honglei was here. After the iron armor came, the city gate had not been opened for several days.

Today, a gap suddenly opened in the city gate and a knight was put in. After seeing Shi Honglei, the knight immediately reported: "General Shi, Dangxiang has attacked the city and attacked from all sides."

Shi Honglei was overjoyed when he heard this, slapped his thigh, and then said, "Beat the drum and gather troops out of the city. In addition, the fast horses went to the cities and forts in the southeast, west and north, and ordered all the troops to leave the city and go to Yanzhou to encircle them."

After the order was given, Shi Honglei ran out and said, "I finally got trapped, I finally got trapped. Mr. Gan is so smart!"

There are 50,000 powerful troops, Ganquan City in the south of Yanzhou, 10,000 Yanchang Wall in the east, 10,000 Fuzheng City in the west, 3,000 Wan'an Village in the west, 2,000 Zhao'an Post in the north, 1,000 Jinming Village in the north, 2,000 Jin'an Village in the north, 2,000 Long'an Village in the north...

When the mighty army was about to arrive in Yanzhou, they received the military order from Gan Qi to build the seal of the Privy Councilor and entered various city and fortresses, strictly ordered that the doors of the city and fortresses were not allowed to open, and even ordered that the city and fortresses were not allowed to appear at the same time on the city and fortresses.

Gan Qi made this arrangement with only one purpose, which is to do all means to hide 50,000 troops.

The purpose of hiding was to fight under Yanzhou City. Gan Qi and Li Liangzuo's previous concerns were consistent. Li Liangzuo was afraid that his army would gather, so Gan Qi was scared away.

Gan Qi was also afraid that his army would gather, and 50,000 sets of iron armor immediately scared Li Liangzuo to the point where he dared not come out of the city.

The current situation is that Gan Qi is really scared away, and he is so scared that he is so scared that Li Liangzuo keeps chasing him.

Gan Qi is also planning a big victory. If he cannot win, most of the 100,000 Dangxiang people will run back and face many tough battles.

How to plan this big victory? Only by launching a surprise attack was the only one who caught Dangxiang people off guard. However, in Suizhou, Longzhou, Youzhou, Ganqi could not achieve his wish, because it was the original territory of Dangxiang people, and everyone in the mountains and rivers knew it. Ganqi wanted to ambush and other things, which was almost impossible.

Moreover, the Dangxiang people also had the advantage of cavalry, and the outcome was unpredictable under field battles.

So Gan Qi kept retreating and retreated as fast as possible, allowing the Dangxiang people to chase at the fastest speed, and chased them all the way to Yanzhou City, where Gan Qi could hide their troops and horses, and chased them into the inherent territory of the Song people.

If Dangxiang people want to attack the city, they have to dismount the formation, and siege the city will turn the Dangxiang cavalry into infantry. Moreover, Yanzhou is a high-altitude hilly area and is not suitable for large-scale cavalry combat.

We must also frequently show weakness to the Dangxiang people, which makes the Dangxiang people proud, and even keep telling the Dangxiang people that there are countless reinforcements, which makes the Dangxiang people less convinced that Ganqi has reinforcements, and makes the Dangxiang people more and more easily start to attack the city.

Yanchang small town to Yanzhou, about 120 miles, Ganquan City to Yanzhou, about 80 miles, Jinming Village to Yanzhou City, about 40 miles, Wan'an Village to Yanzhou, sixty miles, Zhao'an Post to Yanzhou, sixty miles...

The mighty army is still infantry now, and cannot be considered a cavalry. However, the mighty army has horses, and each of them has horses. Forty miles, the fast horse is only within one hour, sixty miles, and the fast horse is more than an hour. Even if it is one hundred and twenty miles, the fast horse is only within three or four hours, and the fast horse is only within one hundred and twenty miles.

The mighty army does not rely on horses to fight, but only depends on horses to travel, so they do not have to stingy with horsepower and just run all the way.

Yanzhou is dominated by hills and has a high altitude, all of which are mountain and river roads and a few small currents. Fulong Mountain is in the west, Sanchuankou is also in the west, and Jinming Village is in the north...

There are not many roads to enter and exit Yanzhou, and Gan Qi has already had the order, so the war is a pre-arrangement, that is, the plan.

Gan Qi's plan was extremely complete. The troops who arrived first blocked the way. After all the people gathered, they began to line up to suppress it, forming a force of encirclement, blocking all Dangxiang people in the open space under Yanzhou city.

When the Dangxiang people first attacked the city, Gan Qi's plan was immediately launched. When Shi Honglei received the news that the fast horses were running in rotation, he immediately led the troops to set off. In fact, Shi Honglei's orders were not needed, and he had already implemented the plan according to the plan.

The battle of siege in Yanzhou continued, and Dangxiang's troops took turns to fight. After one part had some casualties, they immediately changed to another part to continue the attack.

Li Liangzuo was on the high platform and was very familiar with command and dispatch. He started to lead troops at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and he was obviously a good commander in front of the battle.

But more than an hour later, the sun was still in the east, and a scout came to report: "Your Majesty, you found the Song army at Sanchuankou, about 3,000 people."

Li Liangzuo was not surprised when he heard this and asked, "Are you here?"

"In the future, I will not go ahead."

"Infantry Cavalry?"

"There are many horses, but the villain saw that they all got off the horse and only wandered around Sankawakou, and they did not see them galloping to help."

Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "Three thousand people, I don't dare to come. I just want to escape with my horse."

"Your Majesty, do you want me to lead a team of cavalry to chase you?" Liang Yichi asked.
