Wu Haogu and Gao Qiu and Tong Guan were surrounded by the brigade of knights and had already seen the white city wall of Tong Wan from afar. It was said that it was made of steamed three-mix soil and glutinous rice juice mixed evenly. In order to pursue the strength and durability of the rammed earth, Helian Bobo took cruel supervision while building the city, using an iron cone to test. Anyone who puts a cone into an inch will be killed immediately and the body is filled into the wall. If the cone does not enter the city wall, the person who works as a cone will be killed.

Therefore, Tongwan City was built very strongly. It is said that the city wall could be used to sharpen the knife when it was just built!

I just don’t know if the whole white city wall can block gunpowder after 700 years of wind and rain?

Looking from the banks of the Heishui River, Tongwan City in the distance has obviously been renovated, and it doesn't look like an old antique from 700 years old. The white city walls are covered with layers of guards, and the horse-faced city walls are filled with sharp wooden stakes. The signs outside the city are piled up with stern signs, and there are many guards at the top of the city, and they are clearly dressed and armored. You can tell at a glance that the guards are strictly guarded here.

However, this situation is not surprising. This is the largest barrier for the Western thief in Wuding River, Hengshan area. These days, God knows how many supplies there are. The population is transported from the castles along the Wuding River and oasis and grasslands close to Tongwan. There may be an astonishing amount of food and supplies piled up in the city. If this city was captured by the Song army, the Western thief would have nothing to fight along the Wuding River. Retreat directly to Yanzhou!

Wu Haogu, and when Gao Qiu and Tong Guan were watching Tongwan City, there were also many infantry and cavalrymen of the Dangxiang people on the other side of the Heishui River staring blankly at the Song army that was slowly unfolding.

These Dangxiang soldiers looked terrified on their faces, and many of them were already retreating towards Tongwan City. Because they saw a cavalry with a strong power that was more powerful than any Dangxiang elite soldier they had ever seen!

This cavalry is the cavalry that is directly in front of the palace.

The 1,000 armored cavalry were divided into 20 teams and spread out from Wu Haogu and others. They did not break forward to the shore, but stopped four or five hundred steps away from the river beach, and then everyone turned over and dismounted. They just stood there speechlessly!

Everyone in the Dangxiang people know what they are doing? This is accumulating horse power! The horse they are holding can tell at a glance that it is a good horse that can rush up. Isn’t Song State not a good horse? Where did they get so many tall horses?

Those were thousands of horses... not right! There seemed to be an auxiliary soldier who was holding a deputy horse behind them!

At least 2,000 war horses! The cavalry of the Song people is so generous!

Wu Yiboma, the general of the Western Xia and the son-in-law, was also watching on the west bank of the Heishui River. When he saw the Arctics on the other side of the river, he immediately took a deep breath.

No wonder His Highness King Jin was so afraid of the armored cavalry of the Song people. They were really elite! At least Wu Yi Boma had no cavalry in his hands that could fight against them.

However... no matter how strong the cavalry of the Song people are, can they still climb up the city wall? Wu Yiboma thought of this and frowned slightly. How could the cavalry of the Song people become strong now? The city of Dabai Gaoguo is strong?

Wu Yi Boma shook his head, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and ran towards the indestructible Tongwancheng with his own guard!

"Chongdao, Tongwancheng is not small. Can you dig a long trench in fifteen days?"

Tong Guan also frowned a little because Wu Haogu did not bring civil servants when he sent troops, and there were only more than 5,000 auxiliary soldiers responsible for transporting food, grass and supplies. Even if there were 5,000 soldiers who acted as spearmen, there were 2 engineer commanders, at most 11,000 people.

With such a few people, it is probably not easy to complete the siege of the city within 15 days, right?

If the long trenches cannot be dug, Wu Haogu will inevitably be punished. This time, just like last time, he signed a contract with Tao Jiefu and received a "engineering fee" of 100,000 yuan. If it cannot be completed after expiration, the compensation alone will be 3,000 yuan a day. Moreover, Tao Jiefu issued a military order, and if he failed, he would be punished!

"Of course you can dig it up!" Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Why are there 10,000 people? And the contract does not say how wide or deep the long trench should be."

What does it mean? You still have to cut corners? Tong Guan thought: Now is not the time to be a profiteer!

Gao Qiu also shook his head and said, "Dalang, if this long trench is not dug deep enough or wide enough, it may not trap the Western thieves in Tongwan City!"

"Why do you want to trap them?" Wu Haogu smiled, "Just just take down Tongwan City!"

"Take the Tong Wan?"

Gao Qiu found it incredible.

But Tong Guan remembered something, "Chongdao, do you want to explode the hole?"

Wu Haogu nodded: "Yes! It's just a hole blast! Blasting the wall of Tong Wancheng... We have 10,000 infantry soldiers in our hands, of which 5,000 are dragon warriors. I don't believe that the Western thieves who guard the city can resist it!"

"Blasting the cave?" Gao Qiu had never heard of this term, "Can he break the city wall? Is it true or false?"

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "I'll know in more than ten days! Shi Yan, please stay for your cavalry for a few more days and put a foothold on me."

"Okay!" Gao Qiu smiled, "Brother Yu also wants to see how Tongwanjian City is broken!"

...

"My sons, follow me to kill me and kill a wife and son!"

"Thousands of victories! Thousands of victories! Thousands of victories!"

With the shout of the old military strategist Wang En, everyone cheered on the Fuyan Road army that had just unfolded under Longzhou City.

Their cheers were not without reason, because the city defense of Longzhou City looked very vulnerable. The flags were sparse on the low and dilapidated walls, and there were very few defenders and guards. The trenches outside the city were shallow and narrow, and dry and waterless.

Such a defense could not resist the attack of 28,000 people from the Fuyan Army (including Bu Bazi who was in the Conquest).

In addition, not only was the number of defenders in Longzhou, it seemed that there were no light cavalry to be used. Facing the fierce Song army, they did not even fight the outpost battle between the reconnaissance cavalry, and all of them retreated into the castle. The Song army allowed them to approach the continuous camp positions, stabilize their positions, and launch a large squad.

Seeing the high morale of the entire army, Wang En nodded with satisfaction and said to his son Wang Ze: "Ze'er, are you ready to choose the striker?"

"Reported to the father and commander, the child has prepared 1,000 selections, all of whom are the elites of our Fuyan Army. Everyone criticized the fierce and the cloud ladder shield chariot, and was ready to attack the city at any time!"

"Okay!" Wang En touched the white beard, "Where is the foreign soldiers in Hengshan?"

"3,000 heroes, all have swords, shields, bows and arrows!"

"Okay! I will pass on the orders of my husband." Wang En said, "Let Hengshanfan push the shield cart to take the lead, and let our selection lead follow behind to press the formation."

"Get orders!"

The old military strategists certainly understood the great principles of national unity, so they gave the glorious and arduous task of taking the lead to the Hengshan soldiers.

Li E, who led the way for Cha Ge in the twelfth month of last year, has now transformed into a tribe under the Song army. His father's jurisdiction has sent people to follow Cha Ge invade Yan'an Prefecture, so his father's chief has ended up being called by Tao Jiefu to live in Yan'an City at the foot of Baota Mountain. Li E took over as a new leader and got a position as an inspector. Now he has taken over more than 200 children from his family and followed Wang Enlai to fight Xixia.

The young leader of the British army who was disgusted with the Song Dynasty and loved the Dabai Gao Kingdom, the sound of drums of advance sounded in his ears. The Song army's selection of armor, holding swords and shields, and the Song army's crossbow soldiers holding bows and crossbows had all set up formations behind Li E. These people were not here to cover the soldiers of the British army, but to supervise the battle!

If Li E and his men dare to turn against each other in the face of the battle, or even delay the situation, then we must taste the iron fist of the Song Dynasty's national unity!

"My boys! Lift up the ladder, push the shield cart...go forward!"

Li Ezong was reluctant, so he gritted his teeth and ordered an attack.

Because time was rushed, and the life of Hengshanfan was not worth much in the eyes of the Western Army soldiers. So Wang En and Wang Ze did not prepare decent siege equipment for them. They just nailed the big wooden shield to the board truck for the grain transport to make a shield truck. With some ladders, the Hengshanfans took the lead in scruples.

In addition, there were also some sacks filled with soil in the shield truck, which were used to fill the trenches. So it was very difficult to push. A shield truck was pushed by seven or eight people, and they could only move forward slowly.

Behind the shield cart was a cloud ladder carried by seven or eight foreign soldiers. They held a wooden shield in one hand and a cloud ladder in the other, covering their heads and moving forward.

When the soldiers pushing the shield cart fill the trench, it is their turn to risk their lives to build a ladder!

Li E led the most powerful warrior, everyone was covered with a little armor, one with a shield and the other with a knife, following the warrior carrying the ladder.

When the ladder is raised, it is their turn to climb up desperately!

Climb up to meet with your former compatriots...

At this time, the young Han Wu also put on iron armor, held the sword and shield, and walked behind Li Eu with red eyes at the low Longzhou city wall.

There are the heads of the Dangxiang thieves on the city!

Just cut down a few... and you can become an official! It shouldn't be very difficult!

...

On a wooden picture, Wei Ming Cha Ge saw the latest trend of the Hengshan-Wuding River battlefield.

The Song army that came from Hengshan Mountain had arrived at the city of Longzhou! It was now siege!

He sighed, Longzhou could not be defended... Not only could Longzhou not be defended, but Hongzhou on the northern foot of Hengshan could not be defended either. Hongzhou, ancient Wuyan City, Helanyuan, Sanchakou City, Shenliudui City, Prince Well and other series of fortresses could not be defended.

However, the Song people did not want to easily occupy the territory. Because not only did he leave some Dangxiang warriors in these castle strongholds. In addition, some Hengshan Qiang people who swear to follow the Dabai Gao Kingdom were scattered in the ravine on the northern foot of Hengshan, waiting for the Song army brigade to pass by, they could jump out and cause damage.

In this way, the Song army must leave troops to defend the city, and the troops placed on the front line will be greatly reduced...
