end song

Chapter 1089
Xingqing Fucheng is low-lying, and the water level of the Yellow River rises after summer, which is very suitable for flooding.

Since the Mongolian army destroyed Xixia, the city of Xingqing has not been repaired, and it is easy to collapse under the flood.

The only pity is the ditches that Zhang Wenqian and Guo Shoujing renovated a few years ago, and the farmland outside the city.

It was late July, and the wheat was about to be ripe. The yellow and green wheat fields outside the city looked like the sea, and waves could appear when the wind blew.

The horse's hooves trampled over and knocked down the wheat seedlings, leaving the ground in a mess.

"Dig over there!"

The general of the Yuan army riding the horse raised his whip and yelled, and the Yuan army in front was busy.

Hanyan Canal, Tanglai Canal, Huimin Canal, Xigan Canal... the canals that once attracted the cheers of the people were dug up and filled with soil to form a levee surrounding Xingqing Mansion.

"Which commander are you under the command of?!"

The general of the Yuan Dynasty rode his horse onto the embankment and drank another sentence because he saw more than ten Yuan troops visiting horses and the Red Army coming back from patrolling in the south.

"The sign is revealed."

The ten commander of the Red Army who was probing the horse raised his head, showing a crooked face with scars, he didn't speak, just cursed "Exiute", threw a card talisman from a distance, pulled the reins, and pulled The horse walked to the causeway next to it.

A soldier stepped forward to pick up his talisman and looked at it. The talisman was real, but it was unclear which commander was under his command...

Over there, Wang Mancang had already driven his horse onto the causeway, and looked at the defense line of the Yuan army. He saw the strength of the Yuan army, which made one's scalp tingle.

It was not easy for him to get here by fooling around. It didn't take long, and the shouts behind him became louder and louder.

Wang Mancang glanced back, and simply waved his whip.

"go!"

More than a dozen riders rushed forward like arrows, and quickly rushed into the wheat field, and the rain of arrows "swish" behind them.

The wind is like a knife.

The rustling sound of wheat seedlings passing by was all in my ears, and then more and more horseshoes stepped on the ground, and the whole wheat field trembled.

Finally, they rushed out of the wheat field.

"We are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!"

Wang Mancang yelled, took out a flag from his arms, and quickly unfolded it, making a loud noise in the wind.

With one hand held high, he held the reins with the other, and bent down, he charged into the place of arrows under the city of Xingqing Mansion, and then rained arrows from the top of the city, forcing back the Yuan army who were still chasing behind.

Wang Mancang was already sweating profusely and couldn't breathe. He didn't have time to turn his head to see how many comrades died behind him, and how many arrows were hung on his armor. He continued to ride his horse while laughing wildly.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Although he was laughing wildly, his heart was actually beating extremely fast, as if it was going to jump out of his throat.

……

Wang Mancang was originally from the Ningxia army, and he was very familiar with the city of Xingqing and the guards in the city. When he entered the city, he took off the armor of the Yuan army and kept saying hello.

"Liu Mazi, have you seen His Majesty? Is His Majesty really in the city?"

"Hey, Your Majesty praised me for being brave."

"Are you brave?" Wang Mancang was amazed. He took off his helmet, showing his wet hair, and said, "Come on! Compete with me, can you still be braver than me?"

"Go away, go away, don't delay my defense of the city."

Wang Mancang turned his head, and shouted to another school general: "Little Dangxiang, your father-in-law's wheat field has been trampled, do you understand?"

"I know, I can see it."

"Are you angry?"

The school general nicknamed "Little Dangxiang" was patrolling the city with his sword in his hand, when he was enraged by a single sentence, he suddenly punched the battlements heavily and shouted: "Trash the food! Damn it!"

His Chinese was a bit blunt, but he couldn't stop the anger in the sentence, and then he said heartbrokenly: "Guo Xianggong worked so hard to build the canal, looking forward to a good harvest every year, it's all dug up, dug up!"

Foam splashes.

Wang Mancang wiped his face, and also spat: "The Mongolian prisoner who should be killed."

There are still a lot of broken wheat leaves on his boots, but the anger is real, not inferior to Xiaodangxiang.

In short, no matter how unscrupulous people are, when they enter the city, they should first ask the king and second ask about food.

But after scolding, he patted Xiao Dangxiang's shoulder again, and said: "But troubled times are like this. If you want to farm safely, you have to defeat Menglu. The world is peaceful, isn't it..."

Afterwards, a general shouted: "Wang Mancang, Your Majesty has summoned you."

Wang Mancang looked up, and suddenly saw the dragon flag fluttering on the city tower, and a tall figure in golden armor stood there.Its momentum is not weaker than the [-] troops outside the city and the [-]-mile long embankment.

~~
"The last general, the second commander of the Ningxia Army, the fifth battalion, is Wang Mancang, and pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Excuse me, I saw your heroic appearance breaking through the siege and entering the city, you are a brave general."

"The general has heard General Yang talk about how His Majesty killed the enemy back then, and I really want to learn from Your Majesty." Wang Mancang replied loudly, "Your Majesty is the person I admire most. Be young."

What he said was actually not appropriate. If someone who was serious heard it, he would inevitably wonder what he wanted to learn from Li Xia, and learning to rebel would not work.

Li Xia didn't care about these things, and said: "Yang Ben sent you to report the military information, first report the military information, and then chat with me."

"right!"

Wang Mancang stretched his hand into his mouth, "vomited", and then pulled out a thread. A wax pill was tied to the end of the thread, crushed it, and finally took out the letter inside.

When he handed it out, he thought that the letter was a bit dirty, scratched his head and smiled.

He is a bit evil, even if he is smirking, he is not simple and honest, on the contrary he looks like a local rascal.

Li Xia looked at it, and asked casually, "Are you from Gansu?"

"No, the last general is a native of Hanzhong, who served as a soldier in the second year of Xianding of Song Dynasty."

"A five-year veteran, now he's just a captain?"

"The last general likes to go into battle and kill the enemy, and he doesn't want to be a general." Wang Mancang was halfway through his sentence, and he thought that he was meeting the saint now, so he was willing to confess honestly, "The last general violated the old military law. At that time, he made meritorious service and was promoted to an official position, and then he was demoted."

"Then you have made meritorious service again." Li Xia put away Yang Ben's letter and said, "You killed Dong Shixuan?"

"Your Majesty, yes!" Wang Mancang patted his chest.

"Dong Wenbing is a pity."

Li Xia had already sent Dong Wenyong to Gaocheng, hoping to persuade Dong Wenbing to surrender, but he did not expect such an ending.

Everyone has their own aspirations, but after all, they cannot be forced.

"Let's be specific."

"Yes……"

After Wang Mancang talked about the details of the Battle of Chala Lake, he also talked about the current deployment of the Yuan army outside the city of Xingqing Prefecture and the details of embankment construction.

Li Xia asked very carefully, turning out a drawing and marking it from time to time.

However, after knowing all the situation clearly, he did not give any order, but turned to Li Zengbo, and said, "Li Qing is the commander of the Ningxia Army, Li Qing will arrange it."

"The old minister leads the order."

Li Xia reminded again: "Don't forget to reward meritorious soldiers."

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he likes Wang Mancang very much, and this small team is probably about to make a splash this time.

~~
In the evening, Li Zengbo came up with a battle plan for fighting Tachar.

Li Xia tapped her finger on the drawing, and finally nodded and said: "Li Qing has full command, I will not interfere with your style of play, but only cooperate with your tactics."

"Your Majesty is at your side, and the old minister has confidence." Li Zengbo said: "Then in seven days, Your Majesty, please go out of the city to break through and help the old minister create a fighting opportunity."

……

Seven days later is July 29.

At dawn, Li Xia had already put on his armor and was preparing to break out today.

Even Duosman put on a suit of armor, ready to ride beside him.This is why Li Xia is willing to bring her out, she is not like other delicate concubines.

Duo Siman was probably a little dissatisfied with Li Xia recently. When Li Xia tied her belly for her, she pouted at him and snorted, "I'll be 16 years old in winter."

"Well, I'm waiting."

"Humph."

The two dressed properly, left the old palace of Xixia, got on their horses, and headed for the city gate.

Huo Xiaolian over there stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, there was a small matter last night. The Wang Mancang who broke into the city the day before yesterday was originally promoted to be the commander, but he violated the military law last night."

"What happened?"

"Killed someone." Huo Xiaolian said: "Wang Mancang committed adultery with a woman in the city, Wei Mingshi. Wei Mingshi's husband found out and killed her husband."

Li Xia asked, "How did Mr. Li deal with it?"

"Wang Mancang's family wealth was fined and the sufferer was compensated, and his military post was dismissed... he was dispatched to the army."

"understood."

Walking to the city gate, Li Xia and Li Zengbo discussed military affairs again.Finally, looking at the sky, seeing that there was still some time, he said, "Bring Wang Mancang here."

Li Zengbo then ordered his soldiers to call for someone, and said: "That boy has always been in trouble, because he saw that Wei Mingshi was often beaten by her husband after drinking to the point of being bruised all over his body, and he got his head twice for her. This time his temper came up, so he simply beat him to death .”

"Then what's the matter? This is snatching a marriage." Duo Si interjected quite rarely: "If in Mongolia, such a warrior should be rewarded."

Li Xia turned to look at her.

Duosi said wildly: "You also snatched me by snatching a relative. You killed Ma Suhu, and you are the most powerful hero."

"Different."

"What's the difference?"

"The environment is different, and the rules are different. The state has state laws, and the military has military regulations."

"OK then."

If Li Xia wanted to favor his own soldiers, in fact, he could use the concubine around him to make a fool of himself, and a casual sentence would suffice.

But he didn't, and asked Li Zengbo again: "Before Li Qing also said that after he made meritorious service in taking over the Fuqing Mansion, he hooked up with a nun."

"Yes, the nun who hooked up with the monastery was severely punished by Yang Ben."

"It's not easy to run an army. You have to be serious about military law, and you're afraid of chilling the hearts of the soldiers."

"That's right, if it's in the Mongolian Yuan army, it's probably very simple to deal with it at this time. But if it's a long-term plan, it's better to say 'the state has state laws, and the army has military regulations'."

Soon, Wang Mancang came.

He wore the leather armor of an ordinary soldier.

"You traveled far into the desert to make meritorious service, and you desperately broke through to enter the city, but did you ever think that you lost your position as team leader?" Li Xia asked.

"It's enough for the last general to go into battle and kill the enemy. It's just... I'm sorry for your majesty's trust."

"Do you regret it?"

Wang Mancang lowered his head, then raised it up a bit, scratched his neck and said with a smirk: "The last general is just such a person, with a lot of problems. If he does it again, he will beat that bastard tortoise to death."

Li Xia thought for a while, and threw him a small silver coin.

"National laws and military regulations, I can't change them for you. I heard that you were fined with family money. This is a private aid for you."

Wang Mancang took it and said with great joy: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the final general."

"you are welcome."

Wang Mancang was stunned, nodded repeatedly, but didn't know what to say, put the silver in his mouth and took a bite, then put it away with a smile.

~~
Soon, the gate of the southern city of Xingqing Mansion opened wide, and a dragon flag headed south.

When the horn sounded in front, the Yuan army immediately noticed Li Xia's movement and quickly encircled him here.

Wang Mancang, who was running around as an ordinary cavalryman, turned his head and looked around, and said, "Little Dangxiang, I am your soldier now!"

"Then listen to my command carefully..."

"There is a ditch ahead! Little Dangxiang, why don't you order the soldiers to stop!"

"Shut up!"

Over there, Wang Mancang had already driven his horse to catch up, as if he was the general of the 100 people, and shouted: "Stop the horse! Get ready to release the bow and crossbow!"

"Whoosh!"

The crossbow shot out, shooting down a Yuan army hiding in the wheat field.

The screams and the killing cries sounded at the same time.

The soldiers on both sides rushed up, and soon began to confront each other.

And above the city of Xingqing Mansion, a firework has already soared into the sky...
