Luojiayu is more than 150 miles away from Taiyuan, surrounded by ravines and steep mountains.
After the female general of the Yang family arrived here with her troops, they were desperately blocked by the enemy.
Seeing that the opponent was in a favorable location and could not break through the enemy camp after several strong attacks, resulting in heavy losses, they had no choice but to choose a dangerous location and wait for reinforcements.
After a few days, although the soldiers lived on gruel, they were about to run out of food.
Inside the handsome tent, Taijun She felt quite angry as she looked at the female general under the tent who was so hungry that her face was pale and her appearance was reduced.
Calculating the dates, if Taiyuan had received a letter asking for help, they would have arrived long ago.
She was a little suspicious that the Yang family had been tricked by her own people again.
It was precisely because of Taiyuan's insufficient supply of food and grass that the female generals of the Yang family were in such danger. If they ignored their request for help, it would be a deliberate frame-up.
At this time, she regretted leading the troops on the expedition. Wang Yanling was unreliable...
Seeing Taijun She's depressed face, Liu Niang of the Yang family suddenly stood up and said:
"Old lady, we can't wait any longer. Let's break through forcefully. If we wait until the food and grass are completely exhausted, we won't even have a chance to defeat the enemy."
When Taijun She was about to speak, he suddenly heard the horns blaring outside the valley, and the sound of killing shook the sky. He suddenly felt happy and said:
"Taiyuan reinforcements have arrived, we will fight out together."
After saying that, he hurriedly led the female generals out of the tent, preparing to assemble the army and attack front and back with the reinforcements.
Although Mu Guiying was a little confused about the reinforcements not notifying him and others in advance, the rhythm of the horns was clearly a signal that the reinforcements were arriving, so he had to temporarily suppress his doubts.
But before they could form an army to join the battle, the shouts of killing stopped.
Tian Hu's bandits seemed to have deliberately let go of the blockade, allowing a cavalry of several hundred people to rush into the valley.
When Taijun She saw those cavalry, she couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and angrily shouted:
"Yang Chun, I asked you to go to Taiyuan to ask for help. Why did you bring Zongbao here?"
Taijun She only sent two messengers for help, one to Taiyuan and the other to Yanmen Pass.
These two messengers are confidants of the Yang family.
However, Yanmen Pass is still in the northeast of Taiyuan and is the Song and Liao border in Shanxi. It has the important task of directly resisting the Liao Kingdom.
If it weren't for the strong suggestion of the "Swallow Leader" who was accompanying the army to help, Taijun She would not even send a messenger for help to Yanmen Pass. Even if a messenger was sent, they did not expect to send troops to Yanmen Pass.
Not to mention Yang Zongbao, who is in Hebei and has important responsibilities.
She did not send a messenger to Yang Zongbao at all.
Upon hearing Taijun She's scolding, Yang Chun, who was covered in blood, slid off his horse, fell to his knees with a "pop" and cried loudly:
"Old lady, Yang Chun is guilty..."
When Taijun She saw this scene, she felt dizzy, her lips trembled, and she did not dare to continue asking.
Mu Guiying suppressed her uneasiness and shouted in a low voice:
"Shut up, don't cry, let's talk after we enter the tent!"
After saying that, he hurriedly asked the eldest and second ladies to arrange the cavalry alone, and then hurriedly led everyone to the commander's tent.
At this time, her face was calm, but she tripped over a gravel just after entering the tent and almost fell to the ground.
"Tell me! What's going on?"
Only then did Yang Chun cry and start narrating from beginning to end:
"The villain was ordered to go to Taiyuan to ask for help, but the commander of Taiyuan's troops said that this was a plan by the bandit army to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and refused to send troops."
"Furthermore, he has an explicit order from the Privy Council that Shanxi and other places are on guard and are not allowed to use troops easily to prevent gains and losses."
"The villain has no choice but to go to Wang Shouzhong, the transportation department, and ask him to help and plead for mercy."
"But Wang Shouzhong was afraid of taking responsibility, so he suggested that I go to Zhending and seek help from Marshal Zongbao."
"The villain thought that the old lady was trapped and in danger, with no one to rescue her, so she had to go to Zhending..."
As he spoke, he wiped away his tears and continued:
"Unexpectedly, I was ambushed by the elite soldiers and horses of the Liao people when we were passing by Evil Wolf Ridge."
"In order for us to break out of the siege and deliver food to the old lady, the marshal had no choice but to abandon his horse and rush into the mountains to personally attract the main force of the enemy."
At this time he was in tears:
"...When the marshal rushed in front of the enemy general, he was already hit by dozens of arrows."
"After...after that, Marshal Zongbao shouted 'Kill the enemy and serve the country', desperately wounded the Liao general, dragged him and jumped down the mountain stream, and died with him!"
Hearing this, Taijun She just shouted:
"My Zongbao..."
After saying that, he was about to fall down. He was supported by someone and suddenly woke up. He shouted softly with despair:
"Zongbao, my Zongbao...you love me to death."
At this time, she hated Wang Shouzhong of Shanxi Transport, but she hated herself even more. She beat her chest and feet in pain:
"I regret not listening to Cao Bin's words. I regret myself to death..."
Although Mu Guiying was also in pain, seeing several female generals fainting, she had no choice but to suppress it and said calmly:
"Aunts, there are still nearly 10,000 soldiers who have to rely on us to break out of the siege. We must not mess up at this time."
Although she controlled her tone to be calm, her tears kept falling as if they were uncontrollable.
Sister Yang's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. She held the silver gun tightly and stood up suddenly. She gritted her teeth and said:
"I will kill all the bandits and avenge Zongbao!"
Mu Guiying wiped away her tears, nodded and said:
"Tian Hu deliberately let Yang Chun and others in with the purpose of destroying our morale."
"The news about Zongbao can't be kept secret for long. We can't wait for reinforcements now, so we can only find a way to make the soldiers share the same hatred and break out of the encirclement as soon as possible..."
The "Swallow Leader" who had been watching with cold eyes heard this and quickly interrupted:
"Marquis Mu, don't be anxious. Reinforcements are likely to arrive at Yanmen Pass."
Mu Guiying shook her head and said:
"The general guarding Yanmen Pass is Pan Renmei's old subordinate, and he has other important responsibilities. He will not send troops."
When the Yanzi leader saw this, he was very helpless and had to give some information:
"Marquis Cao once ordered that if the bandits spread to Shandong, you can let the local government cooperate at will, because everyone there is your own people."
"If you are in danger in Shanxi, you can go to Yanmen Pass to find Pan Bao. If the Eighth Sister is in trouble, he will not sit idly by and ignore it..."
The Yang family had a feud with the Pan family. He didn't want to tell the reason why he went to Yanmen Pass to ask for help. The Yang family probably wouldn't believe it and wouldn't agree with his idea.
Who would have thought that the officials in Taiyuan were so unbearable that they actually tricked Yang Zongbao? He had no choice but to give his reasons, hoping that the female general of the Yang family could temporarily put aside her hatred and believe in her own words.
It was Pan Renmei who wanted to put the Yang family to death, but Pan Bao had something to exploit.
When the female generals heard this, their minds were a little confused:
"Pan Bao?"
They never imagined that Pan Bao would have plans for Sister Yang.
It’s a shame that Cao Bin has such stupid ideas...
Mu Guiying hesitated for a moment, then looked at the female generals, then nodded and said:
"I'm so confused now that I can only believe you."
When the Yanzi leader heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Their mission is to save Sister Yang's life at the critical moment.
Although more than 300 people were mobilized to accompany the army this time, and they did more damage than ordinary scouts, they may not be able to save Sister Yang's life if the army is defeated.
Just as he was talking, the enemy soldiers shouted uniformly from outside:
"Zong Bao lost his life in Wulangling, and the Yang family lost its heirs and lost its troops."
"The widow's cry is pitiful, and the destiny is transferred to the great Jin Dynasty..."
Hearing the shouts outside the valley, Mu Guiying had no choice but to suppress the pain in her heart, wiped her tears with a wet towel, and suddenly left the tent, then climbed onto the wall of the village and shouted loudly:
"Traitor, are you worthy of showing off your conspiracy in front of me?"
"Marshal Yang Zongbao is the commander-in-chief of Hebei's Anti-Liao Dynasty. How could he rush to Shanxi in person without an order from the imperial court?"
"If you want to fight, just send your horses to attack..."
At this point, we can only hide it for a while. If we can't hide it, we will fight to the death with sad soldiers.
Seeing that Mu Guiying seemed to be fine, although Song's soldiers were suspicious, they were a little more stable. With the new food brought in by Yang Chun, they could still support it for the time being.
Seeing that the female general of the Yang family did not collapse, Tian Hu had no choice but to order a strong attack.
In the next three days, Luo Jiayu's murder was heard loudly.
Just when the Song army was about to lose its support, the reinforcements from Yanmen Pass finally arrived...
