"Grandmaster! Let's hurry up and ask the general Wu Xuan to send reinforcements to us!"

"But the Khitan Emperor is here on the other side of Jiehe! And Wu Haogu's soldiers are still training!"

"How can this be done when training troops in the last battle? Grand Secretary, you should study the ancient Chinese version of Wu Hao!"

"Dingzhou Road is flat and not very dangerous. It will definitely become a place where the Khitan invades. Grand Secretary, we must strengthen our defense!"

"Now, how can we defend if we have no soldiers and no weapons? General Manager Feng, how are we sorting out the four generals on Dingzhou Road now? Can we take them out to fight the Khitans?"

"What a fuck, I don't know if the four generals have ten thousand soldiers? Half of them are still old, and the Dadu Academy of Transportation Department is still preparing. I don't know when the new armor and equipment will be delivered to us?"

"If you want troops but no soldiers, no weapons, what should we do to fight against the Khitans!"

In Liang Zimei's General Office, there were also a chaotic voice from her subordinates at this time. After the military newspaper in the General Military Office of the Hebei Xuanfu Office came, emergency documents from all over Dingzhou Road rushed towards the 64-year-old man in the road like snowflakes.

Everything looked fine when there was no war. Once the war approached, I found that all the places along Hebei were riddled with holes except for the Jiehe River. All the cities and forts along the route were disrepaired and barely collapsed. The defensive combat equipment was decayed and useless, almost becoming antiques. The new army of the imperial guards was not ready for war. The so-called new army of the four generals was just the original old imperial guards who had changed their brand. What combat power can they have? Weapons and equipment are also in short supply. Ji Yi had just begun to rectify and merge the local governments and local governments in Hebei. In a few months, there would be no effect. The weapons and equipment of the Xuanfu Department was busy training the production of weapons for the six generals directly under Xuanfu and the Cangzhou regiment, and they were not at all concerned about the Dingzhou army.

The bricks and mud for building the city wall were transported to the city of Dingzhou through Yishui and Tanghe. However, the people who built the city had not yet collected it, and I don’t know when the project to build the city wall could begin?

Liang Zimei clenched her fists and sat on the chair. She heard that ordinary civil servants and generals were quarreling, and they were helpless. They only knew how to blame the blame, and they were so dizzy that they were about to fall down.

The national defense in Hebei is completely different from Shaanxi, which is fighting all day long. No one knows this. Oh, that is, Cangzhou, Qingzhou, Bazhou, and Hejian Prefecture are all over the place. Other places are rotten to the point, and they still look a little bit when they are at peace with the Liao Kingdom. Once the Liao people fight, they realize that Hebei’s defense is completely paper-based!

What’s even more serious is that among the four border roads along Hebei, the weakest defense is Dingzhou Road!

The coastal road is basically safe because of the dangers of Cangzhou knights, sea route fleets and boundary rivers.

There are three rivers on Gaoyangguan Road, namely the Juma River, Yishui, and Hutuo River. For the Liao people without naval forces, it is a natural barrier that is difficult to cross before the ice season. Although the inland fleet of the Maritime Maritime and Maritime Control Department is not powerful, there is a difference between them and those of the Liao people!

The territory under Zhendingfu Road is the eastern foot of the Taihang Mountains, and Zhendingfu City is another extremely solid stone city. Apart from piled up corpses layer by layer, the Liao people had no other way to break through Zhending City.

Moreover, Xiangzhou is also under the jurisdiction of Zhendingfu Road. Han Xiaozhou, who is a wise grandson in the village, stood up with the support of Han Zhongyan, who was seriously ill, and organized a group training in Xiangzhou!

That's really a shout, and the scenery of thousands of men follows!

However, in Xiangzhou, tens of thousands of heroes had gathered together. They also received support from the officials. Han Xiaozhou not only became the ambassador of the Zhendingfu Road regiment training, but also obtained a number of weapons from the military weapon supervisor. Ji Yi also mobilized a lot of weapons from the warehouse of the Hebei Road Metropolitan Courtyard to Han Xiaozhou.

Therefore, the defense of Zhendingfu Road is not too weak. The only soft persimmon now is Dingzhou Road!

The sound below was still chaotic, and there was a tendency to be louder and louder. Liang Zimei was anxious and angry, with blue veins on her forehead leaping. Finally, she couldn't bear it and shouted: "Stop quarrel!"

The loud voice scared everyone in the room. Liang Zimei, a nobleman from all generations, had developed a graceful manner long ago. Such a loud roar was something that everyone had never encountered before. It immediately made everyone silent.

Liang Zimei turned her attention to Feng Yan, the chief minister of the founding hero of the Song Dynasty. He was the descendant of Feng Jiye, a general of the founding country of the Song Dynasty. He led troops in the imperial guards for generations. He passed down to his generation. Because of his tall figure, majestic face, and good martial arts, he was favored by the Emperor of Shenzong, and he became famous and reached the high position of the chief manager of the whole country.

"Shishuai, it is unlikely that the Khitans will invade from the mountain road to the north, and they will most likely come in from Baozhou..."

The north of Dingzhou is also the remnant of the Taihang Mountains, with Huatazipu, Zhumakoupu, Yutaikoupu, Anyangkoupu and Beipingzhai guarding the dangerous fortresses.

Although these fortresses have been disrepaired and there are not many defenders, the terrain is steep and not suitable for Khitan cavalry movement.

Therefore, Feng Yan judged that the Liao army would invade from Baozhou, east of Dingzhou.

"It is better to place the three generals' troops in Dingzhou, Baozhou, Guangxin Army and Ansu Army." Feng Yan frowned and said, "In addition, several battalions must be divided from the troops stationed in Dingzhou to guard Huatazipu, Chamakoupu, Yutaikoupu, Anyangkoupu and Beipingzhai."

Liang Zimei whispered: "Isn't Dingzhou no more soldiers?"

Feng Yan smiled bitterly and said, "You can't give up Baozhou, Guangxin Army and Ansu Army, right? The Grand Secretary can ask the Xuanfu Department for emergency. If Xuanfu Department does not rescue it, the responsibility for losing the land will be Wu Haogu... But if Baozhou, Guangxin Army and Ansu Army abandon the guards, then..."

But there is no way to blame!

The sanctuary is the commander of the whole country, and he is responsible for defending the territory! Although it may not be able to defend it, he must always defend it, right? Let’s not talk about the four fields and eight villages of Dingzhou, Baozhou, Guangxin Army and Ansu Army. The city of the state army must always be guarded, right? If one state and two armies are given up at one time, Liang Zimei will not die, and Feng Yan, the military officer, will definitely move. Although Liang Zimei will not die, she will be punished for her crime. She will most likely be robbed of her since her origins and will be under the control of Haizhou!

If Liang Zimei and Feng Yan can defend a little, at least they will have to buy time for rescue for Hebei Xuanfu Department. In this way, they can throw the charge of losing land to Wu Haogu... It is also a matter of cutting Wu Haogu if they want to cut off their heads!

"There are too many soldiers in Huatazishu, Humakoushu, Yutaikoushu, Anyangkoushu and Beipingzhai!" Liang Zimei said, "It's enough to set up a team."

"One team?" Feng Yan hesitated for a moment, "Then one team!"

The four generals on Dingzhou Road cannot compare with the few generals directly under Wu Haogu. Although the generals directly under Wu Haogu are full of new recruits, they are very well organized. An infantry general has 5,000 combat soldiers alone, while the four generals on Dingzhou Road, even after a round of supplementary efforts under the pressure of the Liao soldiers heading south, each general can have an average of 2,500 combat soldiers.

In other words, there are only more than 200 soldiers in one battalion of Dingzhou New Army, and only more than 60 soldiers in one team. With more than 60 people, how can it be possible to defend a pass?

However, Feng Yan did not dare to rebel against Liang Zimei's intentions. Just leave it to fate to the north of Dingzhou.

"General Manager Feng," Liang Zimei calmed down, "You went to guard the Suicheng of Guangxin Army in person... As soon as the Liao soldiers appeared, they immediately asked the Xuanfu Department for emergency!"

...

The emergency documents from Dingzhou Road and the tens of thousands of troops led by Yelu Yanxi appeared in front of Wu Haogu almost at the same time!

On June 18, 2018, the third year of Daguan in the Song Dynasty, a large black flag finally appeared on the horizon north of the north city of Jiehe Shangshi City, with a black flame pattern embroidered with a large flying eagle. At the same time, seven or eight large flags appeared, sweeping, and then there were pheasant feathers on a jumping helmet. At the end, I saw the cavalry soldiers who could not see the edge, coming along the open official road.

The Khitan cavalry who were walking in the front were all grown men, with neatly dressed and armored. The armor was all black, and it was completely different from the shiny shiny armor of the wart armor. However, countless black armored knights gathered together and rushed forward, which still gave people an unprecedented pressure.

The cavalry of the Great Liao Dynasty still looks quite powerful! As for how capable it is, it is not clear.

Wu Haogu stood on the Beikai Tower in the Jiebei City, just staring expressionlessly. On both sides of him, more than a dozen confidant generals stood. Brother Zhao Zhong and Ma Zheng each held a telescope to watch. After watching for a while, Brother Zhao Zhong whispered: "Shishuai Xuan, these knights are half-armored, and they are not equipped with horses, and they ride two horses. It seems that they are ready to retreat at any time."

"Why don't the cavalry generals attack?" Ma Zheng said, "Maybe they can repel the more than 10,000 Khitan cavalry in front of them... there must be hundreds of heads."

"They won't fight head-on with us, probably to test it." Brother Zhao Zhong shook his head gently, "The Khitans are no longer as brave as they used to be... Maybe they will retreat to Majiabao before we can complete the array."

Majiabao is the industry of Mazhi. Now Mazhi has gone to Tokyo Road in Liao Kingdom to become an official, and Majiabao is vacant there. Yesterday afternoon, it was occupied by the vanguard of the Khitan army and became the imperial tent of Yelu Yanxi.

"We must test it," said Ma Zheng. "If they really retreat, we will win. On the one hand, we can report victory to Kaifeng Prefecture, and on the other hand, we can stabilize the people's hearts of Jiehe Market."

"I'm afraid that our 6,000 cavalry will be able to fight easily and destroy the more than 10,000 Khitan cavalry. How can we end up?" Zhao Zhongge finally told the truth. He was worried that his 6,000 cavalry would be too fierce and Yelu Yanxi's cavalry could not withstand it.

In this way, the war may end, so how can the arms transaction be done?
