"Pei Ji can't stand it anymore. At most, Lingzhou will be broken in three days." Li Jiqian said firmly in the camp outside the city. Invading Lingzhou was equivalent to pulling out a nail from the Song Dynasty in the west of the Dangxiang people. From then on, they only need to guard against the Song Dynasty's attack in the south and east, and the pressure was almost half reduced. There was a wider land waiting for him to conquer. In Li Jiqian's view, neither the Tubo Liugu tribe nor the Ganzhou Uighurs were the opponents of the Dangxiang people. The day when Lingzhou fell would be the time when the Dangxiang people marched westward.

"But now the Song army has gathered all the troops from border counties to attack us. If we don't return to the army to rescue us, I'm afraid." The patriarch of the Yeli family asked hesitantly. The Yeli family is Li Jiqian's in-laws, and Li Jiqian's wife comes from this powerful Dangxiang family. Now there are quite a few generals in the Xia army from the Yeli family.

"It doesn't matter. The Song army has been scared and dared not come to seek death." Li Jiqian sneered, and a burst of laughter suddenly sounded in the tent. "But these people are troubles after all. Now I have ordered other leaders from all over the world to lead the army to guard the police. Nothing can happen at the moment. After the Lingzhou city is broken, we will take the army back and rob the Song people's borders, so that they can see the power of our Dangxiang people!"

After talking about the Song army, Li Jiqian shouted loudly, "Tomorrow morning, I will lead the army to attack the city. I will never withdraw the troops until I destroy Lingzhou. When I capture Pei Ji, I will definitely cut him into pieces."

"Governor, Dangxiang people are coming up again." As soon as the sky was dawn, the Song army guarding the city discovered the traces of Dangxiang people. Since food was out of stock for many days, he was so hungry that he almost had no strength to speak.

"Okay, let's give them a little more color." Pei Ji struggled to stand up. He had always eaten and slept with the soldiers. Now he felt dizzy when he moved a little. When he got up, he turned his eyes to the east, and there was still no strange sight there. Pei Ji sighed inwardly, it seemed that there were really no reinforcements this time.

Pei Ji personally took the battle and killed several Dangxiang troops who climbed up the city. He finally repelled the enemy's first wave of attacks and won a short rest time. Looking at the soldiers sitting around the city and streaking, he forced a smile, "Haha, it seems that this is the official who has dragged you down. I am afraid that this time I will implicate you and die here together."

"What's the regret of being able to follow the Lord even if he dies?" After these hard battles, everyone admired Pei Ji very much, and had no complaints at all. "But this great Lingzhou City may fall into the hands of the Dangxiang people." They felt a little regretful when they saw that their struggle for many days was about to disappear.

"If there is a next life, we are willing to continue to follow the governor and fight with Dangxiang people again!" I don't know who started first, but everyone shouted in unison, and the morale on the city was boosted again.

Li Jiqian, who was under the city, was deeply frightened when he heard these voices. The defenders at the city end were still not desperate. It seemed that it would be difficult to take down Lingzhou City today. In anger, he issued an order again, "Continue to attack the city. After the city is broken, you are allowed to wait for a plunder for three days, and the woman will take it at will."

"Governor, they are here again, let's take a step first." A soldier struggled to stand up, with a determined look in his eyes, and flew towards a Dangxiang army who had just climbed up the city, and fell down to the city and turned into meat mud.

"Okay! OK! OK! OK! I am worthy of being a good man in the Song Dynasty. I will take a step first, and Pei will come later." Pei Ji also came to the battlement with his sword in his hand.

At this moment, the sound of thunderous horse hooves suddenly came from afar, breaking the deadlock on the battlefield. Li Jiqian and Pei Ji both turned their eyes to the direction where the sound came. Under the smoke and dust, the banner of "The Prince of Dunhuang of the Song Dynasty" was particularly eye-catching.

"Governor! It's the reinforcements!" Countless people on the top of the city cried with joy. Even Pei Ji himself was in tears. He struggled to stay in Lingzhou for several years. Now he finally waited for reinforcements. But he was still a little confused. What is the origin of the Dunhuang prince of the Song Dynasty? Could it be the Guiyi army before? I heard that they have gradually declined over the years. When did they have such powerful troops again?

"Okay! You are all cheering up, don't let the Dangxiang people take the opportunity to attack the city!" Without thinking too much at the moment, Pei Ji continued to command the last batch of troops in Lingzhou City to desperately resist the Dangxiang people's attack.

But under the city, Li Jiqian was deeply delighted. Seeing that Lingzhou City was about to fall into his hands, but unexpectedly, such a surprise soldier came out of the slanting sect. The Cao family had always stayed in Shazhou, and was still separated from Lingzhou by the Uighurs and the Liugu tribe of Tubo. When could they fight here?

However, the army was approaching the camp of the Dangxiang people. Li Jiqian didn't have to worry about commanding the army to meet him immediately, "Dangxiang's children, kill these guys with me first!"

The Dangxiang army, who was still struggling to attack the city just now, immediately turned around and met Li You's coalition cavalry, but the hard battle under Lingzhou City had consumed too much of their strength. Now the sudden appearance of reinforcements made their morale very low. In addition, they were at a disadvantage when they were hasty to deal with the battle. Therefore, as soon as the two armies contacted, the Dangxiang people were immediately defeated.

Li You took the lead and rushed to the front with Liquan spear. The spear flew left and right and kept stabbing the Dangxiang vanguard. Behind him, the Guiyi Army, the Ganzhou Uighurs, the Gaochang Uighurs and the Khotan Army were closely behind, and soon penetrated the Dangxiang people's formation and came to Li Jiqian.

"Let's go!" Li Jiqian realized that things were no longer possible and could not take down Lingzhou City anyway. He immediately made a decision and prepared to escape with his subordinates.

But Li You had just arrived here after a lot of hardships, so he could not escape easily. Then he took out the Sky-Sheng Bow, bent his bow and shot it at Li Jiqian's vest with one arrow.

"Be careful!" Li Jiqian's personal guard rushed towards Yujian and tried to block the arrow with his body, but he underestimated the strength of the Dazzling Bow. The long arrow passed through his shoulders and continued to shoot forward in Li Jiqian's thigh. This block saved Li Jiqian's life. Li Jiqian didn't care about the pain and gritted his teeth and fled to Xiazhou under the escort of his personal guard.

Li You didn't care about chasing him for a moment, and came to Lingzhou City and shouted to the city, "Is the governor Pei in the city? I encountered some minor trouble when I passed by Liugu tribe, so I had to wait for a long time!"
