"Longyou Road? That is the territory of the Monroe people. Bohe is a subordinate country of the Monroe people. Why did he send troops to Longyou very well? Could it be that he was instructed by the Monroe people?

But that's not right. Even if the Monroe people need the Bohe people to send troops, they will not transfer all the Bohe troops on the border of the province. Are the Bohe people not afraid of us sending troops to recover the lost territory?"

Wang Jian was puzzled and couldn't help but ask questions as he looked at the huge Longyou Road on the map.

Yu Jie said: "I guess there was something wrong with the Western Regions. The Bohe people forced to send troops to take risks. It seems that they must have encountered a difficult problem."

Wang Jian stopped and said, "No matter how many, since the Bohe people have withdrawn the troops stationed in Rongzhou, we will take this opportunity to recover the lost land and buy time for the construction of the fortifications in the mountain city. Governor Yu, please give the order, and then we will go to the border to advance."

Yu Jie didn't reply, but still looked at the direction of Longyoudao on the map and pondered.

Suddenly he said, "Premier Wang, do you think there is a possibility? Will the Han army be fighting the Mengluo people in the direction of Longyou Road or the Western Regions?

The Bohe people were ordered to go to support, but encountered the Han army blocking them in Longyou. They had no choice but to remove the defenders from Shu and go to fight?"

Wang Jian frowned when he heard this, and then shook his head like a rattle: "Governor Yu, are you thinking too much? How could the Han army be in the Western Regions?

What's more, the Monroe people are beginning to gather troops to Xuanwu Pass in the north. Even if the Han soldiers go to the Western Regions, they should not choose this time. They should focus on Xuanwu Pass to defend the enemy..."

Yu Jie nodded and smiled bitterly: "You are right, how could the Han army be in the Western Regions now? Alas, to be honest, I hope that our Han army soldiers are in Longyou..."

Wang Jian said again: "Governor Yu, it's useless to think that these messy things are useless now. I'd better take this opportunity to recover the entire territory of Shu as soon as possible!"

"Okay!" Yu Jie said, "General Wang, you immediately order the three guards of Rongzhou, Bazhou and Yuzhou in the name of this official, ordering Xia Gui, Zhang Fan, Sun Guo and Chen Hao to lead the army directly to Rongzhou, and you will personally command the entire army. You must recover Huqiaobao and Jiangkou as quickly as possible, and strive to seize the entire territory of Rongzhou, without any mistakes!"

"Abide by the order!"

After Wang Jian shouted loudly, he immediately went to the army and town camps in Shu to order a war...

On January 20, under the leadership of Wang Jian, all military towns in Shu gathered 120,000 officers and soldiers and began to recover lost territory on the border in a mighty manner.

The journey of the Shu army was very smooth. In just seven days, it recovered Huqiao Fort, Jiangkou and other fortresses on the border, and defeated more than a thousand Bohe troops entrenched in the northwest of Rongzhou, allowing the entire territory of Rongzhou to return to the control of Shu again.

However, just as the Shu army was advancing rapidly, the Shibao Han army, far away in Longyou, suddenly increased its pressure after learning that Bohe reinforcements had arrived.

...

On January 23rd, Longyou Stone Fort...

Just now, the Shibao defenders once again repelled the Bohe people who captured the fort, but the continuous battles for more than ten days also made the Han soldiers of the Shibao feel physically and mentally exhausted.

Qi Wen twisted his sore waist and back, put the spear in his hand on the edge of the mercedes, sat down against the wall and said to his companions around him:

"I heard that the reinforcements of the Bohe people are about to arrive, and I am afraid that there will be more than tens of thousands of people. I don't know if our reinforcements of the White Army can reach the arrival. If we can't get there, we will all have to explain here."

Old Zhang, who was alone, closed his eyes and said, "Are you scared? If you are afraid, go out quickly. I was thinking about finding you a wife, but I never thought of you as a coward and a coward..."

"Stupid, who said I'm going to run away?" Qi Wen replied, "The war has been fought for this. Now that I've left, I've lost all military merits. I'm just worried that there will be no reinforcements coming, how can I deal with it..."

"Pu"

At this time, Dog Eye threw a scrapped crossbow to the ground, took out the only remaining crossbow arrow from the quiver pot and said, "This is the third crossbow, and there are not many leftover crossbow arrows. You have to find a way to get some more, otherwise this guard will be a little difficult."

Lao Zhang untied his crossbow and quiver and handed it to the dog's eye and said, "This crossbow is still 70% new. There are still 67 crossbow arrows in the quiver. If you have good shooting skills, you can shoot a few for me and me..."

Dog Eye took the crossbow and quiver, checked it and put them into his arms without hesitation, and sighed: "But this is not a solution after all. I'm afraid the crossbow arrows in the hands of our brothers in the entire stone castle are no more than two thousand, right?"

Qi Wen heard this and said, "Don't worry about crossbow arrows. When it gets dark, I'll go out to pick up a few more pieces. As long as you shoot this group of bitches hard for me."

Dog Eye shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't know how many Hu slaves are pretending to be dead and waiting for us to be alone. It's not worth it!"

"well……"

When everyone heard this, they sighed deeply...

During these days, crossbow arrows consumed a huge amount. When Xu Wenjing went to war, he had 500 crossbows. Each crossbow was equipped with 120 crossbow arrows, totaling 60,000 crossbow arrows. There was not much left in a flash. Most of them were collected from the battlefield after the war and barely maintained the advantage of long-range shooting.

However, after several battles, the Bohe people also learned to be smart. When the Han army came to the battlefield to collect crossbows on the stone fort, they were ambushed in secret. More than 20 Han soldiers were killed in close combat between the two sides.

After Xu Wenjing learned of the news, she ordered the Han army in Shibao to prohibit leaving Shibao until she had no choice but to avoid unnecessary casualties.

After several days of bloody battles, the Han army in Shibao has gone from the initial 500 people to now less than 400 people. The highest point of the enemy's corpses outside the stone fort have accumulated to almost two-thirds of the corpses of Shibao.

The Bohe people almost broke through the stone fort with their companions climbed several times. Fortunately, the Han army in the stone fort defended their lives and repelled the Bohe people's overwhelming offensives again and again with their extraordinary willpower.

However, if we continue like this, the stone fort is destined to be unable to defend it. These Han soldiers knew that how could Xu Wenjing, as the Minister of War, not know?

Now there are only two roads in front of Xu Wenjing. You either retreat and give up the stone fort so that you and the remaining soldiers can save their lives, but this is equivalent to giving up the entire Longyou Road to the Bohe people directly.

Another way is to continue to persevere, wait for Bai Qisuke Waci to bring reinforcements to rescue the siege, but if you fail to persevere in Bai Qi's reinforcements, the Han soldiers with less than 400 remaining people in the stone fort will be wiped out under the Bohe people's life and death offensive, and their lives are very likely to be left here.

However, Xu Wenjing decided to continue to defend herself, and at the same time, she began to think about how to obtain help from other places to overcome the current predicament.

"Bai Qi must have encountered some trouble. The situation is critical now. You can't rely on Bai Qi's army. You have to think of another way..."

Xu Wenjing looked southeast outside the stone fort, constantly thinking about good strategies.

"Southeast...Shu area...Shu area?"

Suddenly, Xu Wenjing's mind flashed and she had an idea.

He came to the Han soldiers resting in front of the wall and asked, "Who have you been to Western Shu?"

When everyone heard Xu Wenjing's question, they hurriedly sat upright and stared at each other.

After a long time, Qi Wen raised his hand and said, "Report to the military supervisor, I have been to Shu and are familiar with the terrain there..."

Xu Wenjing went up to squat in front of Qi Wen after hearing this: "What you said seriously?"

Qi Wen nodded and replied: "I have really been to Shu and dare not deceive the military supervisor."

Xu Wenjing patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll give you a map. When it gets dark, you will climb down from the cliff on the side of the stone castle.

When I went to the border of Shu, I found a way to find the local defenders, and said that Xu Wenjing, the Minister of War, needed them to send troops to Longyou to rescue the siege. This is my official letter, so you must keep it."

After Qi Wen took the official seal representing his identity in Xu Wenjing's hand, he frowned and asked: "Military Supervisor, this place is at least a thousand miles away from Shu, and the fastest back and forth is one month..."

Xu Wenjing interrupted him without any doubt: "I will only give you half a month. The road cannot be walked, and I must go through the mountain road. Remember, hundreds of lives in the stone fort are counting on you now. You must bring your words to the generals of the border army in Shu on time."

Qi Wen held the official seal and map tightly, feeling that the burden on her shoulders was very heavy, especially Xu Wenjing's words that were tied to the lives of hundreds of colleagues in the stone castle made Qi Wen feel that he was so responsible.

Finally, he made up his mind: "Okay, please rest assured. Within half a month, his subordinates will definitely bring reinforcements!"

Xu Wenjing responded and said, "This matter has been done. I recommend it to Your Majesty and let you be the chief of the military flag. You should take it seriously."

"Thank you for your accomplishment!"

Xu Wenjing's words made Qi Wen feel ecstatic and even vowed to do this job well. The so-called wealth and danger should be the current situation.

The others looked at Qi Wen with envy, jealous and hatred, and were annoyed in their hearts why didn't they fight for it?

It was late at night, and Qi Wen, under the sight of Xu Wenjing and his colleagues in the fort, took off the heavy armor on his body, wore only a light leather armor, carried a Qi knife, a dagger, and a package containing military rations, and climbed down along the cliff on the left side of the stone fort while protecting the night.

After Qi Wen left, Xu Wenjing announced again: "Start now, all the dry food on you will be handed over to the hands of this official. The situation is tense, and every day's food must be distributed as needed until reinforcements arrive and win this war!"

Everyone was not very resistant when they heard this. They took off the bag containing military rations and placed it in front of Xu Wenjing.

After simple statistics, the military rations in the fort are enough for soldiers to eat for eight days. As long as they are distributed reasonably, there is absolutely no problem for a month and a half. I believe that even if the Shu army is not available at that time, Bai Qi should have conquered Vacci City and rushed to the stone fortress, right?
