Just when an urgent message from the north reached Han Shizhong, putting great military pressure on Kaijing, a piece of good news reached Han Shizhong.

The latest 10,000 war horses have all arrived in Fuzhou.

And according to the news, the total number of war horses invested by the imperial court in Liaodong this year is 30,000.

This means that the Liaodong Army will form a large cavalry regiment.

At this critical moment, it is undoubtedly a timely help to Goryeo, who is in a tense war situation.

On the same day, Han Shizhong immediately sent Geng to Fuzhou, making sure to dispatch all the horses to Kaijing as quickly as possible.

The war situation was urgent, and Han Shizhong planned to use veterans to lead new recruits to train a cavalry force as quickly as possible.

On the second day of April, Fugu, Zhejia.

"Zheshuai, Mr. Salihe has high hopes for you," Abuhan said.

"I would like to trouble you, General Abuhan, to thank Sali and drink Dutong for me."

"When does Commander Zhe plan to send troops to attack Taiyuan?"

"I've been ill lately and it's really hard for me."

"Shuai Zhe, can you send General Zhewen there?" Abuhan said.

"Then when will Salihe Dutong send troops from Daizhou?"

"at any time!"

"Will you join me in the siege of Taiyuan?"

"To tell you the truth, our imperial court in the Kingdom of Jin is already in full swing!" Abuhan said.

"Didn't the Jin Kingdom negotiate a truce with the Song Dynasty?" Zhewen on the side said.

"The negotiation for a truce did not say that we can't fight again!"

"I heard that Wanyan Yan's mother was defeated by Wu Jie of Taiyuan?"

"Wu Jie's son is just relying on luck." Abuhan said, "As long as Commander Zhe is willing to send troops, after taking Taiyuan, Sa Lihe will report to the imperial court and make Commander Zhe the King of Hedong!"

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Report! Commander Zhe, there is an urgent military situation ahead!"

"Enter!"

The messenger came in: "Commander Zhe, the Song army has captured Lanzhou!"

Zhe Keqiu suddenly stood up and said in shock: "Are you sure?"

"Yes! Zheshuai, we have personally investigated it!" the scout said.

"Where's Oritake?"

"General Oribu is missing."

A Buhan was overjoyed. This Zhe Keqiu was an old fox who was hunkering down in Fugu and was unwilling to send troops for various reasons.

Now it's better, he didn't want to send troops, and the Song army came to attack.

The Song army forced Zhe Keqiu to send troops.

As long as the Song army and the Zhejia army fought, the Jin army in Daizhou could take the opportunity to besiege Taiyuan, cut off the Song army's supplies, and even blockade Taiyuan.

"This is impossible!" Zhe Keqiu said, "With Lanzhou's defense, it is impossible for the Song army to capture it so quickly. Once it cannot capture it immediately, Lanzhou will definitely ask for help from Fugu, but I have no letter asking for help. Received, could it be that the Song army captured Lanzhou in just a few days?"

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Report! Commander Zhe, General Zhewu is back!"

"Quick! Let him in quickly!"

When Zhewu came in, he was quite embarrassed.

Seeing that his son was safe and sound, Zhe Keqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father! I'm sorry for you, kid!"

"In the end what happened?"

"The Song army suddenly sent troops to Lanzhou, but the child was unable to defend it."

Zhe Keqiu asked: "Why don't you ask your father for help?"

"The Song army fought for just one day and captured Lanzhou. The boy had no time to ask for help."

Zhe Keqiu frowned, but Zhewen's expression changed on the spot. Zhewen said: "This is impossible! Although Lanzhou is not impregnable, how could the Song army capture Lanzhou in one day! This is absolutely impossible possible!"

"I don't know much about it. I just heard from those who fled that the Song Army's trebuchets knocked down the city wall, and the morale of the army was shaken. The elite soldiers of the Song Army took the opportunity to cover up the attack and came in, and the morale of the army was weakened. I took advantage of the chaos to escape."

"Trebuchets knocked down the city wall?" Orifumi was stunned for a moment and said, "This is even more impossible!"

"Can a trebuchet bring down a city wall?" Zhe Keqiu obviously didn't believe it, "Zhe Wu, tell the truth, how did the Song army capture Lanzhou?"

"When Hai'er led the main force to the city gate, the city defense had been broken. However, there was a faint loud noise heard before. Those who fled later said that the Song Army's trebuchets destroyed the city wall."

Zhewen sighed and said: "Zhewu, you are still too young. Those people are obviously making excuses for their failure to do their duty. How could the trebuchets collapse the city wall? If this is the case, the Song army will attack Fugu.

, we don’t have to guard it anymore!”

Only then did Zhewu come to his senses and felt that this statement was indeed too absurd.

"How many people have come from the Song army?" Zhe Keqiu asked.

"Not too many, thousands of people."

"There should be more than one." Zhe Kezhi said, "This may be Wu Jie's forward, the main force is still behind."

"Father, what you mean is that Wu Jie plans to send out large-scale troops?"

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have attacked Lanzhou for no reason."

Abuhan, the golden envoy on the side, said: "Zheshuai, we have already told you that the Song Dynasty will not let you go!"

Zhe Keqiu's face looked a little ugly.

Zhe Keqiu actually always wanted to be independent.

At that time, he was forced to surrender to the Jin State. Later, the Jin State and the Song Dynasty fought hard to determine the outcome. He wanted to use the Jin State and the Song Dynasty to contain each other and hold heavy troops in the northwest.

This was also possible. Even if Taiyuan Mansion was taken back by the Song Army, he concluded that the Song Army would not easily attack Fugu.

Because both Daizhou and Yunzhong are in the hands of the Jin army.

If the Song army attacks rashly, it will empty Taiyuan. The Jin army only needs to go south to Taiyuan to cut off the Song army's retreat.

Unless the Song army can capture Fugu in a short time.

Although the strength of the Song Army was increasing, Zhe Keqiu did not think that the Song Army could capture Fugu in a short time.

"Father! The Song army is approaching fiercely. We must not sit still and wait for death. Let's quickly gather the army to meet the Song army!" Zhe Wu said excitedly.

Zhe Keqiu hesitated for a moment and said to Abuhan: "The Song army did not attack suddenly, but had planned it for a long time. I am determined to send troops to fight the Song army. I can keep my promise even if I go to Salihe and send troops to cut off the Song army."

On the way back, let’s surround and kill the Song army together!”

Abuhan said: "Don't worry, Commander Zhe, Salihe Dutong will never miss such a good opportunity!"

"Okay! Please!"

Abuhan rushed back to Daizhou with the information about Fugu.

At this time, Wu Jie's main force had arrived in Lanzhou, totaling 50,000 troops.

After reporting on the situation in Lanzhou, Wu Jie personally experienced for the first time the terror of such a giant trebuchet on the battlefield.

He said: "If we attack Fugu, how long will it take to defeat it?"

Yang Zheng seemed to be in high spirits. He said: "If we attack Fugu, we will be well prepared and we can take it within three days!"

"What do you mean by well-prepared?"

"If there are at least thirty of these giant trebuchets attacking at the same time outside Fugu City, Fugu City will definitely be destroyed!"

"Then Zhe Keqiu wants to fight a positional battle with us?"

"What we want is for them to come out and fight positional warfare and make quick decisions!" Yang Zheng said.

Guo Hao took over: "The war must end in April, otherwise the Jin army in Daizhou is likely to send troops to Taiyuan and block our retreat!"

Yang Zheng said: "Judging from the current performance of this new trebuchet on the battlefield, we can do it!"

Guo Hao said: "But there are risks."

At this time, Wu Jie, who was deep in thought, said: "There is no turning back when you open your bow, it's in April!"

Guo Hao said: "After all, the Zhe family has been a powerful general in the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years."
