Chapter 829: One of the special teachers who have to be careful even to defend the city)
Chapter 829
"After that being said, we cannot turn a blind eye to the urgent documents and His Majesty's orders to come to Zhixingqing Prefecture." Renda Zongbao rubbed his eyebrows exhaustedly and said.
Over the past few days, the elite Xixia soldiers have launched high-intensity attacks on this newly built city, attacking at night, flooding, and digging tunnels. In short, all the means that can be imagined have been used.
However, under the command of Zhong Shidao, the famous general of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, the Song army has been stubbornly blocking the attack of the Western Xia army several times more than before.
Even though a considerable number of Song troops were only wearing paper armor, many of them were wing troops that had never been on the battlefield. Even so, the Song army still blocked the fierce attack of the Xixia army.
Even though Rendao Zongbao was very unhappy, he had to admit frustratedly that this damn new city had become a roadblock to block the Xia army, rather than just a roadblock.
Only by taking down this city barrier can the Xia army march straight into Yanzhou. As long as they cannot take down, the retreat will be like a huge hidden danger.
Today's Daxia can no longer withstand the failure caused by carelessness.
However, I cannot ignore the situation in Xingqing Prefecture. I just sent back the aid of troops, but there should not be too many. If there are too many, the attack will be weak and the failure of Xingqing Prefecture's plan to retake Yanzhou.
After thinking for a long time, Rendao Zongbao's eyes fell on Ye Lihong. Although this person had no talent as a general, he had one advantage, that is, he was timid, afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back. Um... To describe it in a positive way, he was cautious and cautious in leading troops.
"Let's do this, Ye Lihong, I will give you 10,000 troops and return to Xiangqing Army Division. Remember, you will be asked to return to Xiangqing Army Division, rather than letting you fight against the enemy without authorization. After entering Xiangqing Army Division, you will immediately contact the veteran general Weiming Awu and be subject to his restraint. Do you understand?"
When Ye Lihong heard the order of Indo Zongbao, his eyes lit up, "That's the best. Now he's here to attack the city, and he's hitting the city every day with the arrows that are like rain, which is like pinning his head on the belt."
If I lead my troops back to Xiangqing Army, the Song army would have 20,000, even if it doubled, with the strong city of Lingzhou, I would definitely be as safe as Mount Tai.
Ye Lihong threw the wounds on his body behind his head and quickly stood up toward Rendor Zongbao. "Since the Secretariat has the order, how dare the subordinates refuse to obey? Please rest assured, the subordinates will be cautious and follow the orders of the Privy Councilor."
"Go, don't let me down." Indo Zongbao closed his eyes with some disgust, waved his hand like a flies, and said helplessly.
"Although more than 10,000 troops were transferred, we still had a total of 100,000 troops. Although these Song troops were tenacious, they were gradually declining. As long as we strengthened the offensive, I believe we could take them down." It seemed that seeing Renduo Zongbao seemed a little discouraged, a general next to him quickly stood up and said.
Renda Zongbao raised his eyebrows and stood up again on the chair. His majestic eyes swept across the tent and encouraged loudly.
"My generals, it has been several days since we attacked this new city. Although the Song army is very tenacious, there are not many people defending the city. Yesterday and today, they have been attacked several times. As long as we continue to maintain such a strong attack, we can definitely take this city and approach Yanzhou."
"Don't forget Your Majesty's instructions. Now that our country in Daxia is in a critical state, you need your efforts to stabilize our country and country."
The Xixia generals responded loudly in unison and rubbed their hands.

At this moment, at the end of Xinyanzhou City, Master Zhong was patrolling the soldiers who were already exhausted. Many soldiers guarding the city were bandaged, and even some of the iron armor on their bodies was damaged and incomplete. For this reason, they could only add paper armor to their iron armor to cover them.
In this way, these soldiers looked particularly embarrassed, just like a group of thin and thin households without covering their bodies.
Although it is a bit ugly, the defense of the paper armor has withstood the test and baptism of the brutal Xixia people during the offensive and defensive battles during this period. This is the reason why the elites of the border troops of the Song Dynasty were willing to install the paper armor on their damaged iron armor.
"Over the past few days, the Xixia people's offensives have become more and more powerful. Now the casualties of our soldiers are quite serious..." A general next to Zhong Shidao frowned.
Nowadays, the moat in Xinyanzhou has long been blocked, and in some directions of attack, the Xixia people have filled several sections of moats into solid flat ground with sandbags.
Although there are many destroyed siege weapons scattered under the city walls, there is still a lot of inventory in the Xixia camp in the distance.
Over the past few days, the crazy attacks of the Xixia people have indeed made it more difficult for Xinyanzhou to defend the city, and even made the Xixia people attack the top of the city. If the Xixia people were not suppressed back in time, the losses would probably be even more serious.
Even so, in the past two days alone, nearly a hundred lives were paid to regain the attacked city wall section.
"New Yanzhou City is really too big, and now there are more and more soldiers who are casualties, I'm afraid..." A cavalry general next to him carefully peeked at Shidao Zhong and finally got up the courage.
"General Zhong, the last general is willing to lead his troops to defend the city. After all, the soldiers have been stationed in the city for a long time, but have done nothing. Many soldiers have already complained."
Zhong Shidao glanced at the general, his eyes fell to the Xixia camp in the distance, and he was considering it. After a long time, he said, "Let's do this, General Chen, please first draw two thousand soldiers from the cavalry to enter the city to enrich the defense. As for the remaining cavalry, don't move for the time being."
"No!" The cavalry generals around him were overjoyed and quickly replied loudly. Over the past few days, the infantry robes were killed here.
However, the cavalry could only squat in the city and watch it. In fact, they felt resentful. In addition, the infantry suffered a lot of losses in their robes, so they also began to complain about the cavalry who squatted in the city but didn't fart.
As long as you can send a battle formation, at least the relationship between the infantry and cavalry will not continue to deteriorate, and in addition, you can strengthen the city's garrison, which is definitely a killing of two birds with one stone.
It’s not that Mr. Zhong didn’t understand this truth, but he was always worried about the bold and arrogant guy Zhe Keshi. It was because of the bastard’s bold and painful approach that Mr. Zhong even seemed cautious in defending the city.
