Then he ordered that the people and soldiers of the village should not disclose the news that Zheng Lang and Han Qi came to this village.

When all the soldiers were surprised to hear Zheng Lang and Han Qi here, the people were also surprised. Some of them had been in Dingchuan Village for several days and had never heard or seen Zheng Lang. It was impossible for them to know. It seemed to be a good news, but it could not solve the current problem, water.

...

Dingchuan Village undergoes a huge change, but Li Yuanhao didn't know. He was overjoyed when he saw the Song army being squeezed into Dingchuan Village. This was the biggest defect of the surrounding villages of Zhenrong Army. Not only was the water source easily cut off, but the soil, because the soil contains mostly saline and alkali, it was actually nitrogen. People didn't understand it at this time and were all included in the saline and alkali ranks. The well water dug was bitter and unpalatable. For this reason, he implemented a careful plan.

At this time, he had a small appetite and just wanted to wipe out the more than 30,000 troops. Then he would get a bigger victory than Haoshuichuan and Sanchuankou, and he would have the capital to sit down and negotiate with the Song people.

The army slowly besieged Dingchuan Village.

There is no attack for the time being, and he doesn't need to attack. There is a lack of drinking water in the village, so the Song army will come out to break through by itself. For this purpose, a careful arrangement was made.

Just as he mobilized the army, Wu Hao's secret letter arrived.

Man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Where this battle is far beyond the control of that person. For example, Wu Hao's strategy.

Yuan Hao read the letter and called several important officials to discuss.

Although Fengzhou City is a prefecture city, it is actually the same as Zhenrong Village and Luanggang City. It is a fortress. It is not uncommon to break through a slightly larger village. It is just that the Song Dynasty prefecture city was first captured by the Western Xia Dynasty, which has a great symbolic significance.

But Weizhou is different. It is the second largest city in the upper reaches of the Jingwei River Basin, with more symbolic significance. There are a large number of people, materials and wealth in the city. Looking at Wu Hao's letter, everyone was a little moved.

Looking outside the tent, Zhang Yuan said: "This battle cannot be delayed for too long. Jingyuan Road is insufficient. Qinfeng Road still has a little force, Huanqing Road has a lot of force. The three of them joined forces last time. The Song army in Dingchuan Village must be eaten, so the troops in Jingyuan Road are empty..."

"Do you disagree with the division soldiers?"

"Your Majesty, I don't mean that. I agree with the division of troops. Even if the three armies gather together, we can't gather 100,000 people. We still have an advantage in our troops. But I think we should first suppress and then attack."

"What should I press first and then hit?"

"Ge Huaimin took the troops of all the camps around him, and the Song army is now insufficient. It is better..."

"Lotus Castle, Horse Raising City."

"Your Majesty is wise, you must first get off one of the cities and open the road to Wating Village. The army will suppress Wating Village..."

"I understand." Yuan Hao's eyes showed joy. Zhang Yuan said half-clearly, but Yuan Hao had already understood his idea. He first broke one of the two forts, which would be afraid of the Song army. Otherwise, the Song people would not be afraid of a village that had not been broken yet. As long as one fort was broken, the Song people would be worried. Once the army pressed against the empty Wating Village, Weizhou would inevitably divide troops to support Wating Village. The main army was trapped in Dingchuan Village, and how many troops could it be divided. But to go to Weizhou, it does not necessarily have to pass through Wating Village. The village is located on the banks of the Wating River. The valley is wide and it is also blocked from the dead road. If you walk around calmly, the army can go straight to the city of Weizhou. If you come to block it, you will be fighting in the field. If you don't block it, then the troops will be at the city of Weizhou. You can attack the city and attack the aid.

As for the tens of thousands of Song troops in Dingchuan Village, Yuan Hao had long regarded them as dead people.

After one point, he divided 30,000 troops and led some siege equipment to the Lotus Fort (between Dingchuan Village and Zhenrong Village).

As Zhang Yuan expected, because of Ge Huaimin's mobilization, there were only 500 Song troops in the Lotus Fort, and nearly 100 people. Seeing the Xixia people siege the city, the generals of the people were armed and began to resist. In the end, there were few people. In the evening, the Lotus Fort was captured. Less than 200 people opened the east gate and fled to Zhenrong Village. More than 300 soldiers were all heroically sacrificed. Nearly 1000 people were also brutally massacred. Di Qing sent troops to rescue him, but it was too late, and there were only more than 1,000 soldiers. After a fight, he had to withdraw back to Zhenrong Village.

The 30,000 Xixia army continued to move south and headed straight to Wating Village. It was only about seventy miles from Wating Village to Weizhou City.

When the news came out, the entire Jingyuan Road was shocked.

Yin Zhu didn't know where Zheng Lang and Han Qi were forced to have no choice but to transfer five hundred Song troops again, headed straight to Wating Village, and guarded the northern gate of Weizhou. He had just come, and he didn't know what to do if the division continues like this, what should we do if Weizhou City itself is safe?

Openly and secretly, the situation on Jingyuan Road is deteriorating violently...
