Lanzhou Mansion is Han Laocheng's home base, and his orders are extremely effective. A large number of officials began to take action.
They widely publicized that the Han army had broken their promise and invaded Gansu, and recruited people to defend their homeland. Things were done in full swing.
"Da da da!!!!"
Panda, the general under Han Laocheng, led five thousand elite cavalry, one person and three horses, loaded with baggage and food, left the military camp and headed southeast.
Under the banner of "Pan". Panda is wearing heavy armor, holding a horse spear, and riding a horse. He raised his head and looked forward, showing worry.
The governor of Liangzhou Prefecture was extremely powerful and rebelled internally.
The Han army bypassed Jieting and invaded Longxi.
There are really worries inside and powerful enemies outside. The kingdom of King Han may not be safe.
"Hey." Panda sighed, shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, and concentrated on leading the troops.
Half an hour later.
Pandale stopped his horse and looked at the several cavalrymen galloping ahead. As Panda stopped, the five thousand fine knights also stopped.
The army went from rapid speed to standstill, with ease and ease, showing its strength.
"I am General Panda. Who are you?" Panda asked loudly.
"It turns out to be General Pan." The oncoming cavalry also reined in their horses and stopped. One of them, a strong man with a Chinese character face, clasped his fists and saluted. After gasping for breath, he replied: "Report to the general. We are the magistrates of Jincheng County. The King of Han Qi sent tens of thousands of troops to attack Jincheng. We escaped and went straight to Lanzhou City. We met the general here."
"King Wu Min of Qi? Jincheng was lost?" Panda's eyes narrowed.
This is bad. My five thousand cavalry will only end up like a meat bun beating a dog if they meet Qi King Wu Min's ten thousand cavalry.
After thinking for a moment, Panda raised his horse and shouted: "Withdraw the troops, go back to Lanzhou City first, and then make further calculations."
"yes."
The soldiers shouted yes. The five thousand fine cavalry immediately turned around and headed for Lanzhou City.
After returning to Lanzhou City.
The soldiers and horses returned to the military camp outside the city to set up camp. Panda led dozens of soldiers into the city and went straight to the palace.
The palace, in the side hall.
Han Laocheng sat on the throne, and Dou Rong and Pan Da were sitting on the left and right sides.
"What should we do now?" Han Laocheng was a little panicked. He stood up and paced back and forth, looking up with a look of hope and asked.
Dou Rong and Panda raised their heads and looked at each other.
Dou Rong sighed, cupped his fists at Han Laocheng and said, "Your Majesty, Wu Min invaded Jincheng and blocked the door. We were suppressed in Lanzhou City and could not move."
"General Han Lin led the 18,000-horse infantry at Jieting."
"The forces are dispersed."
"Now I only ask Han Fengxian, Yuan Xiao and other generals to guard the city and starve the Han army to death."
Dou Rong sighed again, even he couldn't believe what he said.
There is no defense, how to defend? As long as the Han army attacks the next government, they will have food and grass. Then it is to fight to support war.
At first, heavy troops were sent to guard the street pavilion, but now it seems that it is a failure.
After hearing this, Han Laocheng shook his head repeatedly. Isn’t this just waiting to die?
"What a mistake." He gritted his teeth.
"Report to the prince. Guan Chaoqiang of Liangzhou Prefecture led thousands of elite troops to the north bank of the Yellow River, across the river from Lanzhou City."
A civil servant came in from outside and bent down to report.
Han Laocheng's face changed greatly and he cursed: "A tiger falls down and is bullied by a dog. Guan Chaoqiang, an old guy, dares to show his teeth and claws in front of the lonely king."
He was furious, his face was red, and he was panting. But it was just incompetent rage. After his breathing calmed down, he sat back dejectedly, raised his head and said to Dou Rong: "The lonely king messed up everything. Now we can only ask for help from the Turks. Sir, send someone to the Turks immediately."
"Yes." Dou Rong looked sad, nodded, stood up and turned around to leave.
............
Jincheng.
This city is neither big nor small. Wu Min led ten thousand households of cavalry and tens of thousands of horses to camp in the city, which was slightly crowded.
There is food in the granary in the city, but not much.
County government office, in the lobby.
Wu Min, a man with a big horse and a golden sword, sat on the main seat, followed by ten thousand households. He said energetically: "Send all the spies in the army to cooperate with the spies from the Imperial City Division. Let the entire Lanzhou Prefecture have no secrets in front of the Han army."
"If Han Laocheng dares to lead his troops out, we will defeat him."
"Yes." Thousand households bowed in response.
Wu Min added: "Food and grass are a problem. Pass on the order. Kill a group of horses first and eat horse meat to satisfy their hunger. Control the diet of the soldiers and save food."
"Yes." The thousands of households bowed in response again.
Soon after, the thousands of households stood up, lined up in two rows and strode out of the lobby.
"Now it depends on Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng and the others. Whether they can successfully capture most of the prefectures and counties in Longxi. As long as the Han army has a firm foothold, Han Lao's achievements are nothing."
Wu Min's eyebrows were full of confidence.
............
Jieting City.
The flag with the word "Han" on the city gate tower flutters in the wind and makes a hunting sound, like a flying dragon with teeth and claws, very impressive.
The Gansu soldiers on the city wall are still majestic and majestic.
But the breath in the air is very different.
The morale of the Gansu Army gradually wavered.
Han Lin, wearing heavy armor, stood in front of the city gate tower, overlooking the Han army camp in front, and sighed quietly.
A soldier came over and whispered to Han Lin: "General. The spies are here to report. Except for Qin'an City guarded by General Yuan Xiao, most of the prefectures and counties in Longxi have fallen. The Han army is collecting food and grass. "
"Report from Guanzhong. The Han army's infantry is already on the way."
"I got it. Block the news." Han Lin nodded and said.
"Yes." The soldier responded, turned around and went down.
"There is really a wolf in front and a tiger behind. It's a desperate situation." Han Lin said with a wry smile.
"General Han. There is no limit to the sea of suffering and we can finally turn around. It's still too late. As long as the general can turn his back and take off his armor and offer himself to Jieting City. I, Chen Ding, will guarantee with my life that the general can escape unscathed."
Chen Ding, who was hung on the city gate, shouted angrily.
Han Lin didn't kill him, and his treatment was pretty good.
He was hung on the city gate during the day and slept in the gate tower at night.
You can take a break when eating or having an emergency.
It's just that the sun is shining a bit, and it's gotten a lot darker these days.
"Just give up on this. I will never be sorry to my uncle." Han Lin shook his head and said. Then a stern look appeared on his face, and he said to himself: "It's better to give it a try than just sit there and wait for death."
"Now Wu Nian is in the military camp ahead. If I can defeat the Han army and kill Wu Nian, it will be a lucky break."
Han Lin had made up his mind and said loudly: "Send the order. Let Chen Yongxian lead 3,000 infantry troops to defend the city. The remaining 15,000 horse infantry troops will go out of the city and set up a battle array to fight the Han army to the death."
"Yes." The soldier was stunned for a moment, then responded loudly, and quickly went down to deliver the order.
