"General Li, what should we do?" Li Renxiao couldn't sit still anymore and stared at Li Shiqi and asked.

Li Shiqi was silent for a while, and then said seriously, "Third prince, why don't you inform the court of the situation here and ask the court to send reinforcements. Then our army can launch a counterattack."

"And I have already inquired clearly. As long as the Gan army outside the city is eliminated, Da Gan will not have any troops that can be used. By then, we will not only regain Fengxiang, but also take Jingzhao Mansion and other places into our hands again, and even Drive straight down…”

After this battle, Li Shiqi had realized that they were no match for the Pingnan Army outside the city. There was a huge gap in terms of the morale of the army and the weapons used by the soldiers.

Li Renxiao fell silent.

Others also fell silent.

Only Li Guoqing agreed with both hands and was so excited that he wanted to say something. However, he noticed that the others looked wrong, so he quickly stopped his mouth and lowered his head carefully.

"Third Prince, the weapons of the Qian army are extremely powerful. If we have the opportunity to destroy the army outside the city and capture the weapons they use, it will make our Xixia army even stronger..."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Shiqi changed the topic and brought the topic to the weapons used by Qianjun.

As expected, Li Renxiao's eyes became expectant,

"What General Li means is that if our Xixia army is equipped with equal weapons, we will not be afraid of the troops outside the city?" Li Renxiao said thoughtfully.

"Exactly!" Li Shiqi nodded heavily.

"Third Prince, our army cannot defeat it, not because our army is not strong enough, nor because the soldiers are greedy for life and afraid of death, but because the gap in weapons between the two sides is beyond our ability to make up..."

"If we possess their weapons, our Xixia army will no longer be afraid of any Gan army..."

"So my subordinates believe that the most urgent task is to report to the imperial court the situation here and request an additional 60,000 troops."

There are currently 40,000 people in Lanzhou City, so it is no problem to defend it for a few days.

There are 20,000 troops in Gyeongju and they will arrive tomorrow.

When the two armies gather together, they will surely be able to hold on until reinforcements arrive.

Li Renxiao had already made a decision in his heart, but he did not rush to order it. Instead, he looked at everyone in the hall and asked, "In that case, what do others think?"

When Li Renxiao asked, Zhang Guoqing couldn't wait for a long time.

"Third Prince, my subordinates think that it is better to request the imperial court for support as soon as possible. Qianjun has always been scheming. If you are not careful, you will fall into their trap. You must be careful..." Li Guoqing did not hesitate at all about Li Shiqi's decision. In his heart, he just wanted Li Renxiao to report to the court quickly and ask for reinforcements.

He was worried that if the negotiations were delayed and the city of Lanzhou was eventually destroyed, they would become souls under the sword.

The fall of Qinzhou City is still vivid in our minds. It was because Li Renxiao's reinforcements arrived too slowly that the opportunity was missed.

The fall of Fengxiang was even more tragic. It fell in less than a day. You can imagine how powerful Qian's army was in destroying the city.

After Li Guoqing finished speaking, everyone glanced at him. No one answered, and Li Renxiao didn't respond. Maybe everyone looked down on his fearful look, so they were unwilling to talk to him.

Li Guoqing also found that he was excluded, lowered his head and gritted his teeth.

"Third Prince, in the battle of Fengxiang Mansion, Qian's army captured it in less than a day. My subordinates are worried..."

Li Guoqing wanted to say more, even telling the story that Fengxiang City fell to Qianjun in one day. However, before he could finish his words, Li Renxiao stopped him loudly, "Li Guoqing, that's enough."

"Don't be alarmist here and deceive the morale of the army..."

Li Renxiao seemed to know what the other party was going to do, as he stared at Li Guoqing angrily.

Li Guoqing immediately stopped talking and chose to continue to lower his head.

Seeing that he didn't speak anymore, Li Renxiao's expression softened a little, "For the army to attack the city, I will send someone to rush to the capital to deliver the message."

"Sir He, please go check on the troops from Qingzhou and see when they can arrive."

"I understand!" He Chaofeng accepted the order.

When this matter is discussed, it is over.

Li Guoqing left with a lot of worries, but he still had endless worries in his heart. He felt that something would happen to Lanzhou City, and he didn't understand why he had such thoughts.

"Shuai Ling, there is a Xixia army in the direction of Qingzhou, and it is approaching Lanzhou City at this time." Li Jianhui reported.

"Qingzhou?" Ling Yun was slightly startled when he heard this.

Ling Yun was silent, he didn't know about this.

Because the last time Guo Yixiu plundered Xixia, his target happened to be in the direction of Gyeongju. He thought that there was no Xixia army there, otherwise why would the Xixia army just let go and let Guo Yixiu plunder all the livestock easily.

Based on the current situation, Ling Yun will not let this Xixia army enter Lanzhou City, because that will increase the difficulty of breaking the city.

"Let Hu Hongyun lead the team to stop the attack." Ling Yun thought for a while and decided.

Then he thought of something and added, "By the way, let him take Lin Zijin with him."

The reason why Ling Yun asked Lin Zijin to take him with him was because Lin Zijin was the best general in the army who was good at ambush. With him, he might be able to bring about an unexpected ambush effect.

"Yes, Commander Ling!" Li Jianhui stepped back and then passed on Ling Yun's general order.

After receiving the commander's order, Hu Hongyun immediately ordered 15,000 troops. Then he found Lin Zijin and said to him, "Commander Ling has an order for you to follow me to do a big thing."

"What's the matter?" Lin Zijin asked with confusion on his face.

"Commander Ling ordered us, there is an enemy army in the direction of Qingzhou and they are approaching Lanzhou City. We must stop them." Hu Hongyun said with a cold look and a sneer.

There was murderous intent in his eyes, it seemed like this was not an easy matter.

"General, I will obey your order!" Lin Zijin learned the cause of the matter and immediately accepted the order without any hesitation.

Hu Hongyun paused, and then said, "Since Commander Ling has ordered you personally, go down and order five thousand crossbowmen immediately, and then come with me to ambush the enemy's only route."

Lin Zijin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.

No wonder Hu Hongyun came to him, it turned out to be Ling Shuai.

"The general has an order!" It was obvious that Lin Zijin's eyes became even hotter when he heard that it was Ling Yun who personally asked him to go.

Under the leadership of Hu Hongyun, 20,000 people set out.

Lin Zijin was Ling Yun's favorite because Hu Hongyun also valued him very much. Since Lin Zijin had ambush experience, Hu Hongyun asked Lin Zijin what he thought.

Lin Zijin was a little surprised, but then he thought of something and calmed down instantly.

He told Hu Hongyun his idea. Unexpectedly, Hu Hongyun adopted his idea after hearing it.

This surprised him.

It was precisely because of Lin Zijin's method that Lin Zijin made dumplings for the Xixia army coming from the direction of Gyeongju.

"Fire arrows!" Lin Zijin gave the order, and five thousand crossbowmen fired arrows at the advancing enemy.

"No, there's an ambush..."

"Quick, defensive formation!"

The Xixia Army reacted very quickly. As soon as they discovered there was an ambush, they immediately activated the defense mode.

"Fire attack!" Lin Zijin ordered again.

"Fire, the enemy uses fire..." The moment he saw the light of the fire, the Xixia general immediately panicked.

"Quickly, retreat quickly..." With no other thoughts but to stay away from the battlefield, the enemy general ordered a retreat.

But by this time, it was too late.
