Outside Tongwan City, the west bank of the Heishui River.

A tower had already lit a raging fire, and the smoke columns rose high and went straight to the sky, and could see clearly even twenty miles away.

Military command once again showed high efficiency in military dispatch. However, in just one morning, the Song army camp, which was originally located in the southeast of Tongwan City, retreated into Tongwan City. Even a tent and a cart were not thrown away. Only the tall tower was not moved away and the fire was burned.

While the Song army outside Tongwancheng retreated into the city, Gao Qiu, who led his troops to deal with the Western Xia army in the north of Tongwancheng, also received the order from Wu Haogu, leading 5,500 Hedong cavalry back to Tongwan, leaving only less than 3,000 cavalry of Yumazhi to fight outside the city. In fact, Gao Qiu was not under the command of Wu Haogu. His rank officials competed with Wu Haogu, and his official position was the deputy general manager of the Hedong Road Army and horses, and had no connection with Wu Haogu. However, Gao Taiwei still happily accepted the order and handed Yumazhi to Murong Gu and Wanyan Xie, and led his troops to retreat to the relatively safe Tongwancheng.

As an international celebrity, he still knows that he should take into account the overall situation.

Murong Gu and Wanyan Xie did not continue to block the Xixia army, but retreated southward to the south of Wuding River and temporarily hid.

Because of the withdrawal of the Song cavalry, the actions of the Xixia army became swift. When the fire of the watchtower outside Tongwan City ignited, the Xixia rangers had advanced to the north bank of the Heishui River.

However, the Xixia Ranger, who had suffered enough of the Song cavalry, seemed cautious and did not dare to step across the Heishui River (the Heishui River is not deep). He just looked at Tongwan City with complicated eyes, at the burning wreckage of the Wang Tower, and the Song cavalry who were swaying over the Heishui River.

On the south bank of Heishui River, Wu Haogu and Tong Guan both led their personal guards to wait here to lead Gao Qiu to retreat. Seeing that he returned victoriously, Wu Haogu and Tong Guan both rode forward to greet each other.

The Song cavalry who retreated over the Heishui River and several generals' personal guards were all on the river bank, silently looking at the Xixia cavalry that appeared on the horizon on the other side of the river.

The Battle of Tongwan seems to be in the second half!

Gao Qiu looked a little tired and extremely anxious. As soon as he saw Wu Haogu and Tong Guan, he asked: "Do you want to fight in Tongwancheng?"

Tong Guan coughed, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "Where can we still be the final battle of Tongwan? Who would have thought that the Western thief had 50,000... and there were 3,000 Iron Harriers. This was clearly going to fight us to the death! Fortunately, most of the Tongwan City was already in our hands, and there was some support..."

This military eunuch looked a little depressed, not because the situation of the war was unpredictable, but because he seemed to be undermined by a profiteer! How did this happen? Why did Brother Zhao Zhong and Murong Mu listen to Wu Haogu? Why can command military opportunities work hard to master the three fronts of the imperial fronts? Since Wu Haogu came, this three fronts of the imperial fronts have become more and more strange!

Wu Haogu Ze yelled and smiled and said to Gao Qiu: "Shi Yan, you have fought well. You can easily defeat the iron kite that the Western thief is proud of... If the Western thief has self-know, he should run away with his tail between his feet!"

Gao Qiu thought to himself: It seems that the one who easily defeated the Iron Harrier was the straight horse... No, it should be those Jurchen barbarians and 200 young knights from Jiehe Market! What are the origins of those young men? How can they fight so much?

Just as he was full of doubts, one of the pillars in the building had been burned out, losing balance, and the whole thing fell down with a bang.

Wu Haogu took a look at the collapsed building and said to Gao Qiu with a smile: "Shi Yan, let's go to the city first, have a meal, and then rest for one night... Maybe there will be a decisive battle tomorrow!"

"Okay! Let's go to the city to rest first!" Gao Qiu was indeed a little tired. He didn't sleep last night and led the cavalry to fight today. Although the confrontation was not long, he was very frightened. Then he slowly retreated under the pressure of tens of thousands of Western thieves (actually, Brother Cha played Xu Rulin himself), and endured great pressure. Now he was at Tongwan City, he was really exhausted.

...

The fire in the distance is gradually extinguishing, and the black smoke is dissipating with the wind.

Li Liangfu, who was standing on the horse's back, slid his butt steadily on the horse's back, then turned his head and shouted to Cha Ge: "Master, the fire in Tongwancheng has been extinguished, shouldn't it..."

All the Xixia generals present focused their attention on King Cha Ge of Jin. They knew how strong Tongwan City was. And they knew better about the Song army's ability to defend the city. During the Second Battle of Pingxia City a few years ago, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang's army had been besieging hundreds of thousands of troops for more than ten days but could not even snatch a small Pingxia City. What's more, now tens of thousands of people are used to fight a large Tongwan City?

But how can you be willing to leave without a fight? There may be warriors who insist on resisting in the city!

Moreover, the Song army spent more than ten days to attack Tong Wan, and the losses must be very heavy, and it may be easy to eat them.

In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and hay in Tongwan City! If all these grains and grass fall into the hands of the Song army, they will have the possibility of crossing the desert of the sea to attack Lingzhou this year.

After weighing the pros and cons, Brother Cha took a breath of breath: "Go! Go to Tongwancheng to see... I must figure out how the Song people conquered Tongwancheng!

In addition, go and call Xiao Heda to Tongwancheng... I don’t believe that the 70,000 army will not be able to retake Tongwancheng!"

...

Just as the military envoy sent by Chage went to find Xiao Heda, the silver medal army sent by Tong Guan was rushed to the city of Youzhou southwest of Tongwan.

The two Song army led by Wang En and Guo Cheng, with nearly 55,000 people, have now joined forces at the city of Youzhou, which is defended by the Jianing Army of the Western Xia.

They were not idle these ten days, and they captured several Xixia cities with empty defenses in a row. They almost pulled out all the strongholds belonging to Youzhou (referring to the Song Dynasty Youzhou) and only one Yuzhou city has not been captured by them.

The troubles encountered by the two armies of Fuyan and Huanqing in Youzhou were also similar to the problems encountered by the Sanzhi Army under Tongwan City. There were about a few thousand to ten thousand defenders in Youzhou City. Youzhou City is another castle built in the Tang Dynasty. It is relatively strong and has been reinforced recently. The city walls and horse surfaces were all covered with tigers, and the surrounding trees were also cut off.

So the Fuyan and Huanqing armies had to send people to Hengshan to cut trees. After working for seven or eight days, they finally brought a lot of useful wood, but before they could build them into Chenggong's equipment, the military sent by Tong Guan and Wu Haogu arrived first.

Wang En was closing his eyes to rest in his luxurious tent. Two favorite girls were serving the old military strategist, one pinched his shoulders and the other knocked his legs. There was also a maid holding tea and pastries on the side, which seemed very comfortable. His style was actually not a luxury in the army. The generals of the Song Dynasty were basically used to enjoying it. Moreover, there were battalions in the army to serve these generals, and even Wu Haogu followed the customs and took Oliga an arhat maid to the battlefield.

Moreover, Wang En is also a bit similar to Wu Haogu, and he is also a hand-off manager. Most of the things in the Fuyan Road army are his son Wang Ze with his staff to deal with. He is old and lacks energy, and is too lazy to deal with a lot of complicated military affairs. Unless there is a big deal, Wang Ze and Wang Yanei will not disturb him. Even the arrangements for besieging Youzhou City were also discussed with Guo Cheng of Huanqing Army.

So when Wang Ze and Guo Cheng rushed into the tent with the army sent by Tong Guan, Wang En, who was disturbed, was stunned.

"What?" the old military strategist asked with his eyes narrowed, "Does the Western thieves in Youzhou City break through?"

"Sir," Wang Ze replied, "It's not Yuzhou, it's Tongwan! Wu Chongdao has broken Tongwan City!"

"Break!?" The old military strategist suddenly sat up, "How is it possible...oh, it's possible!"

The old man's mind was quite active. He immediately thought that it must be the rich man from Wu Da spent money to bribe the Western thief's general, just like the traitor who bought Shibao City!

"Sir," Wang Zedao, "Wu Chongdao used the method of blasting the cave to explode the two sections of Tongwan City!"

"Explosion collapse?" Wang En was stunned, "How did it explode?"

Wang Ze hurriedly handed the military sent by Tong Guan to his father, "Tell me quickly, how did it explode?"

"This, I don't know this little man, but I only know that there were two loud bangs last night, and two gaps of dozens of steps wide collapsed in Tongwan City's east and south city walls. Then thousands of spearmen and warriors rushed in together, fought for a night, and almost took down half of Tongwan City."

Wang En was confused and said unhappily: "How did you break the city wall? Why didn't you say anything? What does Wu Chongdao mean? I'm afraid I'll learn the skills?"

"Taiwei," the military intelligence man was a little angry when he saw Wang En, and quickly took out the letter written by Tong Guan, "This is the letter of help from our children's envoys to you..."

It was a letter of help rather than an order! Because Tong Guan was not Wang En, Guo Cheng's Shangguan, Tong Guan was now the Shuofang Road Strategy and Pacification Commander, and could not control Wang En or Guo Cheng. Moreover, the commander of the Song army on the Wudinghe battlefield was not Tong Guan, but Tao Jiefu, who was in charge of official affairs in Gou Huanqing, Hedong, Shuofang and other roads.

In theory, Tong Guan had to ask Tao Jiefu for help first, and then Tao Jiefu gave Wang En and Guo Cheng the order.

However, in actual combat, the generals on the front line still have to learn to adapt. Otherwise, when Tao Jiefu ordered, the daylily would be cold... not cold, but moldy!

"Ask for help?" Wang En was stunned again, "What's going on?"

"Sir," Wang Ze said anxiously, "About tens of thousands of Western thieves appeared in the north of Tongwan City, and now most of them have arrived at Tongwan City!
Chapter completed!
