But Aligu's move is not crazy. If Pingxi Fort is conquered within these few days, everything will be too late.

But as long as he withdraws his troops in the rear, he doesn't have to withdraw his troops in the rear. As long as the army knows the news of Maoniu City's loss, Renduo Baozhong will inevitably lead the Xia army to flee immediately. Most of his subordinates are also dispersed, and even they are scattered. What fate is waiting for him?

Therefore, Maoniucheng was lost in front, and Pingxi Fort's offensive and defensive battle became even more tragic.

…………

When he was young, Wang Ju had hunted with his second uncle and then learned boxing with his second eldest son, which was for fitness. However, in his youth, Wang Ju was barely considered a qualified leader on the battlefield of Dashun City, and his martial arts skills were similar to those of ordinary leaders.

But after the Battle of Gyeongju, he gradually gained power and could not charge himself.

Therefore, the archery skills became worse and worse. It was obvious that the enemies under the city were densely packed, so he shot seven arrows in a row before hitting an enemy.

Wang Ju put down his bow and arrow in shame and took a deep breath behind the wall, but the Song soldiers around him cheered together.

The tragic offensive and defensive battle in Pingxi Fort lasted for 33 days. Although this move was risky, Wang Ju was not without any preparation.

First of all, the area of ​​this fort cannot be too small. After all, when you have to settle thousands of soldiers and horses, you still have to guard this mountain pass, but it cannot be too large.

In fact, the big city and big village have their advantages and disadvantages. The small forts and small villages have their disadvantages, but they also have their advantages. The big city and big village can garrison more troops and store more materials. It is very difficult for the enemy to siege them in a group. Moreover, even in the city and small village, they can also play a variety of tactics, but the disadvantage is that many troops must be dispatched to play their role.

Xiaobao and Xiaozhai have too many disadvantages, but the advantage is that if it is strong and does not lack food and water sources, it can hold on with just a little force.

So Wang Jucai built a medium-sized fortress, and there was no time to build a big fortress.

Wang Ju also brought a large number of artillery, forcing the coalition forces of the two countries to camp several miles away, which was equivalent to extending the time of each attack by the enemy and reducing the efficiency of the enemy's siege.

A large amount of wood was prepared in the fort to prevent the city wall from being knocked down in multiple places.

As for weapons, food and medicinal materials, let alone anything.

Before the war, Wang Ju convened three armies, explaining the cruelty of this battle. But he also said one thing. If the sacrifice or disabled person is willing to entrust his family to the other side, Wang Ju will ask the other side to arrange a good job for his family, and at the same time will issue a large amount of subsidies. In addition to the court's rewards and pensions, he will also persuade the other side merchants to give their families a hundred additional pensions.

In addition, Wang Ju is on the front line, so the three armies are brave and persist until now.

However, the biggest disadvantage is that the city wall is newly built and has insufficient solidity. However, this disadvantage was also intentionally revealed by Wang Ju, otherwise Aligu would not have been involved in the trap.

However, the cruelty of this battle was still beyond Wang Ju's imagination. The front fort wall was destroyed by the coalition forces of the two countries. Now almost half of the war occurs in front of and behind the fences. This undoubtedly caused the Song army to gradually lose the advantage of the city wall and the casualties became increasingly serious.

Another part of the enemy troops crossed the rugged mountain path and arrived in the south of Pingxi Fort, which further dispersed the Song army's increasingly pitiful forces.

After so long, five tribes finally defected to Aligu and cooperated with Aligu to launch an attack from Pingxi Fort in the south. Fortunately, these five tribes are not big tribes. In the words of Zhongpu, these five tribes are just five fools. With more than ten times the strength of the troops, even one Pingxi Fort could not be taken down for so many days. The Song army in the rear came to kill him. Can Aligu return the enemy?

Up to now, more than 3,000 officers and soldiers have been killed, and half of the remaining 3,000 officers and soldiers are injured in varying degrees of weight, including Liu Shunchen being shot by the Xixia people and falling on the bed, and he will not get up for a while.

So Wang Ju forced himself to take the guards to the battlefield, but a small half of the dozen guards around him also sacrificed.

Wang Ju gasped for several breaths, moved his arms, and continued to carefully poke his head out and shoot arrows at the enemy. Whenever he shot an enemy to death, the Song army would cheer loudly. Perhaps a general found that something was wrong here and immediately commanded the three armies to kill the city wall. Seeing that more and more enemies under the city gathered, Wang Ju waved his hand, and everyone understood and lit ignited ignition oil jars and smashed them down hard. Nearly half of the hundreds of enemy soldiers under the city wall were beaten and burned to death.

This tragic situation caused all the enemies who were attacking Pingxi Fort to stop suddenly.

Seeing that it was getting late, Aligu had to order the three armies to retreat. However, when he ordered, his face was gloomy and terrible.

Wang Ju and Zhong Pu also arranged for people to patrol the city wall. At its peak, Ali Gu took turns to attack the city for several days and nights, so at night, he should not be careless. Then Wang Ju walked down the city and visited Liu Shunchen and the wounded.

Liu Shunchen cursed: "Why is this bastard Wang Wenyu so slow?"

"Not that fast," Wang Ju smiled.

Why did Wang Wenyu attack Huizhou first instead of taking the Gu Longbone City first? This was also a arrangement after careful consideration by Wang Ju. Before the war, he didn't know how many soldiers Liang Yibi would send, but most of them could only draw soldiers from Liangzhou and Ganzhou. However, in Liangzhou and Gaizhu City, Xixia would still leave some troops, especially Liangzhou. If this part was not swept up, then when Wang Wenyu's troops entered the Qilian Mountains, this part of Xia soldiers would follow and harass him endlessly, which would seriously affect Wang Wenyu's march below. After Liangzhou was taken, Wang Wenyu would be quiet when he went south. Therefore, this journey was not that fast.

As he was talking, Wang Zichuan broke in from outside and said, "Taibao, fireworks, fireworks!"

Wang Ju hurried outside, climbed to the heights, and looked south. A few miles south, seven fireworks were constantly blooming in the night sky.

This is the agreed secret code, and Qi means the good news, which means that Mao Niucheng has been taken.

Wang Ju walked down from the high place happily and said to the soldiers: "Everyone, you don't have to wait for long. Magistrate Wang has taken down Maoniucheng."

Thousands of Song soldiers immediately cheered for thunder, and Aligu immediately lost the big rear and attacked a ghost.

The Tubo camp was a little far from Pingxi Fort, and the cheers of the Song army in Pingxi Fort could not be heard, but Aligu also saw the fireworks in the south.

His deputy general, Jieshi Luo, said: "Zanpu, it seems that the Song Dynasty informed the Song soldiers in Pingxi Fort in this way."

In fact, Yao Xiong sent the news to Wang Guangzu. The scouts who reported the news had to go around a big circle and walk on many rugged mountain roads. Then Wang Guangzu sent people to continue going around a big circle and reach the south of Pingxi Fort. It had been several days since then.

At this time, Wang Wenyu was no longer in Maoniu City, but crossed the Huangshui River and had arrived at Qingtang City. He started an attack on Qingtang City from noon yesterday.

What's even more fatal is that Aligu received another news in the evening, Miao Ju, Zhong Yi, Yu Zang Huama and Liu Zhongwu were approaching Guzhou quickly, and they could reach Pingxi Fort in two or three days at most.

Now, unless there is a single case, the tribes of Guzhou cooperate with Aligu to block the road and fight with these Song troops in blood, and Qingtang City must remain undefeated, it will give Aligu a precious time to continue to win.

But this is impossible. Although Qingtang City is large at this time, its troops are empty and cannot be defended for too long. Even because it is a bit far away, not far away, but the road is too difficult. Aligu doesn't know if Qingtang City is still in his hands this afternoon.

It is also impossible for the various foreign tribes in Guzhou. Aligu is not a sage. Under a golden arrow order, the tribes responded to each other and asked these tribes to cooperate with him to inquire about the information on the attack and control, and even secretly supported some supplies in secret, but it is impossible to let them block the road and fight against the Song army head-on. If the Song army behind them is revenge, it will kill people if they fight, and many tribe members will die...

Now that Pingxi Fort has learned about Maoniucheng again, the three armies are excited. Not to mention a few days, I am afraid that if he gives him another ten days, he may not be able to conquer this fort.

There is another more important factor. After fighting for so many days, so many soldiers have to eat and drink. Although the surrounding areas of Qingtang City have not been under great danger for so many years and are relatively wealthy, the tribes have also begun to be unable to bear it. With this supply alone, they can gradually become unable to consume it.

"Jiexialuo, what do you think you should do?" Aligu said in frustration.
