King of Song

Chapter 270 Night Attack on Dashun City

Zhe Wenxin has been "pretending" to be Lin Zhao, "bluffing and defrauding" around Gyeongju, and playing tricks on Gyeongju people who are following and monitoring.

Originally, Miss Zheqi still had a sense of accomplishment in her heart, but after hearing Xixia's attack on Liyuan Castle, her mood suddenly became a little heavy, and at the same time she was a little worried.

Since he distracted the pursuers, Lin Zhao must have taken the opportunity to go to the core area of ​​Gyeongju.Zhe Wenxin, who is quite familiar with military affairs, knows very well that Liyuan Fort and even Dashun City are the most important places.

Now that the Xixia people invaded, those places must have been affected by the flames of war. Is he okay?Subconsciously, Zhewenxin was so worried that he didn't care about anything else.

Fortunately, at this time, news came again that Lin Shaoqing's guards and guards of honor had arrived forty miles south of Qingzhou City.He should go back, right?Zhewenxin guessed, wishing to fly over to find out.

On second thought, if I can think this way, Li Fugui will also think the same way.Now that there are so many tails around, wouldn't it be possible to attract them by acting rashly?Since Zhang Guan and Li Dai are impersonating, then they must impersonate to the end and create enough time and opportunities for him to return safely!

Zhewenxin made a lot of determination to suppress the concerns in his heart and continue to live a "fake" life!Of course, it would be good if we can get in touch with Su An and the others, this is not impossible, Zheqi girl still has a way!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The night is as cool as water, especially the autumn night in the northwest!
It is already mid-September, the chill has increased sharply, frost is common, and the night has even begun to freeze.Especially when the gusts of new wind blow, it is even more bone-chillingly cold.

But on such a cold night, outside Liyuan Fort, a Song army of about a thousand people sneaked out of the city.

In the cold wind, Lin Zhao subconsciously tightened his clothes. A civilian officer beside him was not so lucky, and tried to maintain his demeanor while shivering.

This person is Xu Xi, a military supervisor in the Ministry of War, and now he is the commander-in-chief of this thousand-man army.

The cause of the incident started with Lin Zhaohe's proposal from Zhong Shidao. The Xixia people were repelled today, but the Xixia people will definitely continue to attack in the next few days. It is hard to say how long Liyuan Castle can last.

The best defense is offense, so Lin Zhao and Zhong Shidao had a very risky idea, that is to attack the Xixia military camp at night and rescue Dashun City.

In this way, not only can the pressure of Liyuan Fort be relieved to a certain extent, but it also has the opportunity to regain Dashun City. After all, Dashun City is of extraordinary significance to the Song Dynasty.

When Lin Zhao and Zhong Shidao made a suggestion, Xu Xi immediately became a little excited.The previous thought of wanting to catch up with Li Fugui was also forgotten, and the flattery was after all low-key, but it was a solid military achievement.

If they can take back Dashun City, which has attracted the attention of the whole country, it will be a great achievement, and by then it will not be a problem to get promoted and get rich.Of course, it would definitely be a bit risky, but Xu Xi felt that the words of these two scouts who had just made military exploits seemed reasonable and sounded very reliable.

In order to have a bright future, Xu Xi decided to take the risk and try it out. How can he do it without a little grandeur while a man is alive?
As a result, Xu Jianjun was dispatched and volunteered to bring a thousand soldiers to support Dashun City!

For such a request, the guard of Liyuan Castle was inevitably a little embarrassed. 1000 people went out of the city to attack the Xixia people. It felt a bit risky, but hearing the plan of the two scouts, it seemed that it was not impossible.

What is more important is Xu Xi's identity. Although it is only a small matter, it represents the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, the imperial court.Even Li Fugui stayed away from him, let alone others.

Master Zhizhou has repeatedly ordered that this person must not be offended, so the guard dared not refute at all.What's more, if this matter is really successful, it will be of extraordinary significance, and anyone will have some extravagant hopes for such a great contribution.

It stands to reason that Li Fugui should be reported to Zhizhou to make a decision, but the incident happened suddenly and the opportunity was rare, so there was no room for delay.After thinking about it, the guard agreed, since they want to go, they can do whatever they want!At the same time, report to Gyeongju immediately, let Zhizhou Li Fugui know, and cooperate in time.

So Xu Jianjun dispatched with 1000 troops, including Lin Zhao and Zhong Shidao who made suggestions, and the commander Liu Changzuo.

Their plan is very clear, that is to attack the Xixia soldiers on the outskirts first, and then rush into Dashun City to keep this strategically important fortress.At the same time, Liyuanbao and Gyeongju sent reinforcements in time to fight against the Xixia people inside and outside.

The initial implementation was indeed relatively smooth. The Xixia people never expected that under their repeated attacks, the Song army would dare to take the initiative to attack.

It was rare for Liang Yibu and Ye Lihan to agree on this matter, and they were all negligent, so they didn't have sufficient defense preparations at all. It can be said that they were caught off guard by the Song army.

The Xixia encirclement outside Dashun City was torn apart, and the Song army entered the city smoothly.

Xu Xi was very excited, and the smooth implementation of the strategy made him see hope.

They successfully entered Dashun City and completed the first step. The next step is to see the reactions of Qingzhou and Liyuan Castle.

The pressure was still huge, Lin Zhao and Zhong Shidao couldn't be happy at all, and they were all in a solemn mood.

Especially when seeing the situation in Dashun City, even Xu Xi's excited mood suddenly became heavy, and there was no smile on his face.

There are still about [-] soldiers in Dashun City, most of them have been injured, the difference is only in the light and the heavy.Under such circumstances, they are still able to hold on to the city. Their perseverance and courage are admirable. They are heroes.

When the soldiers standing guard in Dashun City saw the arrival of reinforcements, tears filled their eyes.To be honest, in the previous situation, although they were holding on, they also knew that Gyeongju might give up on them, and it would be a matter of time before they fell.

Two thousand soldiers persisted for many days in a state of loneliness and helplessness.Seeing that their faith and confidence are about to collapse, when they don't know where to go, when they are the most lonely and helpless.The arrival of reinforcements was undoubtedly the greatest encouragement to them and gave them great spiritual support.

Lin Zhao didn't know that the decision he made with Zhong Shidao inadvertently not only gave confidence to the remaining defenders of Dashun City.After several years, the significance of this decision will continue to be highlighted, extraordinary...

But even so, the situation in Dashun City was far worse than expected.The walls of the fortress were already damaged, and most of the soldiers were injured and exhausted.

The supplies in Dashun City are even more scarce. Dry food is good enough to last for a few days, but drinking water is extremely scarce.The place where Dashun City was located had scarce water sources, and after being besieged by the Xixia army, the situation became even more serious.

Now there is not much drinking water in the city, and the thousand reinforcements including Lin Zhao only carry a day's worth of drinking water with them.If there is another accident in Dashun City, drinking water will undoubtedly become the most serious problem, even a test of life and death...

Drinking water is undoubtedly the most terrible thing in Dashun City!
For the current plan, we can only hope that Gyeongju responds quickly and can lift the siege of Dashun City as soon as possible.

Xu Xi didn't expect this situation, and was very anxious. His words and deeds were even more out of style, and he even felt that he had made a wrong decision.

Lin Zhao and Zhong Shidao looked at each other, and it seemed that they were entrusted with inhumanity!There is inevitably some worry in my heart.For the current plan, it is tantamount to pinning all hopes on Li Fugui...

The question is, is Li Zhizhou reliable?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The guard of Liyuan Fort reported the news to Gyeongju in time, and Li Fugui received the news the next day.

At that time, Xu Xi, Lin Zhao and others successfully sneaked into Dashun City with their sneak attack.

Seeing such a report, Li Fugui was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect them to attack Dashun City, but I underestimated Xu Xi."

Chen Qiao said with a smile: "The general didn't underestimate him. I think it's just a speculative thing to come here. When he actually gets to the battlefield, he might complain so much!"

I have to say that Chen Qiao is very good at seeing people and making predictions!But at this moment, his eyes were not focused on Xu Xi, but on these two scouts!
"General, did you send another scout?" Most of the scouts and intelligence in Gyeongju were handled by Chen Qiao, but he had no impression of the two reported to Liyuan Fort.

ah?Li Fugui was startled immediately, looked at Chen Qiao in surprise, and said in a deep voice, "Isn't he the one you sent out?"

"No, Zhao Lin and Zhang Zhong, these two names are very unfamiliar, especially with such a good performance, it stands to reason that I shouldn't have no impression." Chen Qiao was very puzzled by this.

Li Fugui has been a little nervous recently, and asked in a deep voice: "Could it be that there is fraud in it? Is there a problem with their identities?"

"I don't know, judging from the current situation, it doesn't look like it!" Chen Qiaodao: "But right now, Dashun City is a very good opportunity!"

Li Fugui deeply believed that taking back Dashun City was indeed of great significance, it was to make up for mistakes, and it was of great significance to consolidate his position.

"Investigate the military situation immediately, send troops to Dashun City if necessary, and try to take it back!" Li Fugui is full of confidence and full of expectations.

"It's just..." Li Fugui was always a little uneasy, and said in a deep voice, "It's just that Lin Zhaoke couldn't leave Qingzhou in time..."

He wants to go to the front line to command in person, but the backyard is not peaceful, which is probably his biggest worry.

Chen Qiao shook his head and said: "The general is worrying too much. Lin Shaoqing is really helpless when the general is not in Qingzhou. The general will not accept the order of the emperor, not to mention that he is just a small Dali Temple Shaoqing!"

"It's true!" Li Fugui felt a little more at ease, and said in a deep voice, "Don't forget that there is another one in the prison... After I leave, Qingzhou will be handed over to you. You have to watch it carefully for me, especially Pay attention to Lin Zhao's actions."

"Yes!"

With Li Fugui's departure, the situation in Gyeongju became more and more interesting because of these unexpected factors!
