In the General's Mansion, Huo Cunyi, the General of Dongsheng Guard, asked loudly about the messenger who was going to ask for help, his eyes red.

The broken house, the injured soldiers, and the body that had not yet been buried...

Everything in Dongsheng City stimulated the general who had been guarding the border for more than ten years.

"General," the messenger's voice was hoarse, and tears flashed through his eyes.

"We have no reinforcements, no reinforcements!"

"What?" Huo Cunyi was stunned, his heart full of an unknown premonition, but he still asked with a glimmer of hope: "Is it the reinforcements that cannot pass for the time being?"

Upon hearing this, tears finally fell in the messenger's eyes.

"The dog official from Datong Prefecture said that the order conveyed by His Majesty in Shenjing was to gather and prepare for war, and they could not resist the order and divide the troops! Let us persist until the arrival of Shenjing army..."

"General, there are no reinforcements! We have no reinforcements!"

The messenger's loud crying extinguished the last trace of luck in Huo Cunyi's heart.

"Dog official! They will definitely die a good death!"

Huo Cunyi gritted his teeth and scolded, his eyes red. If it were the general and prefect of Datong Prefecture, he would be bitten to death by him!

The crystal clear tears reflected two tired faces covered with wind and frost, and finally fell to the ground.

This is for the sacrifice of one's own robes, for the great Zhou that is about to meet them, and for the long-term protection of oneself, and now we have to sacrifice our lives for it!

"The Shenjing Army has only set off eight days ago. If you want to arrive at our place, it will take half a month at the earliest!"

"Without reinforcements, facing the Tatars' siege army, can the only five thousand remaining soldiers in our Dongshengwei be guarded for seven days?!"

"I can't hold on..."

Sitting on the chair of the Grand Master, Huo Cunyi murmured: "But my Dongsheng Guard cannot defend it. What should I do if the military residents in the city? What should I do if the injured robes in the city? What should I do if the many civilians in the rear empire?"

"General, I will take people to ask for help again!"

The dirty sleeves wiped away the crystal tears from the corners of his eyes, and the messenger gritted his teeth and the blue veins jumped up on his face.

"Since his Datong Mansion refuses to send troops, I will run towards Shenjing. On the way, I will definitely encounter a large army of enfeoffers moving towards Datong Mansion!"

"General, you must hold on!"

After saying that, after the messenger gave his tribute, he went out to ask for help.

"After this battle, if I, Huo Cunyi, don't die, I will cut you two dog officials into pieces!"

A hoarse roar sounded in the general's mansion.

…………

On the other side, the golden tent of the Khan of the Tatar army.

In the huge brazier, flames jumped, reflecting the faces of the people in the golden tent were all red.

"Tai Shi Bolai, now a 100,000 army has been attacking for four days. Not only has this small Dongshengwei not conquered, but our losses are a bit heavy!" Pointing to the sheepskin map on the table, Molun, who is already a Tatar Khan, asked, "Why don't we take a detour and go straight to the hinterland of his Great Zhou?"

In the golden tent, the leaders of many small tribes echoed:

"Yes, for a mere ruined Dongshengwei Station, our tribes are exhausted and have lost their troops in vain. It's really not worth it!"

"Khan," Bo didn't even look at the leaders of the small tribes, and stroked his right hand on his left chest and saluted Moron first.

Then, he said firmly: "No matter what, if you want to attack the Great Zhou territory, the Dongshengwei must conquer it!"

Pointing to the map, Bo Lai explained: "Khan, please see, this Dongshengwei is located on the edge of this Great Wall, connecting Shanxi and Ningxia guards in the west, and the Wanquandusi and Kaiping guards in the east. It not only plays an important role in controlling the Hetao areas, but also guards the gateway from the grasslands in the northern part of the Great Zhou! Therefore, the location of this Dongshengwei is very important, and it is enough to affect the border defense situation in the entire northern part of the Great Zhou!"

"So that's it!" With the map as a reference, and listening to Bolai's analysis, Moron and many of the young leaders suddenly realized it.

Bo Lai continued to explain: "If we rashly bypass the Dongshengwei and advance into the hinterland of the Great Zhou, if the Dongshengwei stabbed him in the back, wouldn't we be trapped in the middle and be attacked from both sides?"

"But if we capture the Dongshengwei, it will be equivalent to installing our own outposts in the Great Zhou territory, breaking the Great Zhou control line on the northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty! Even if things fail in the future, it will be a safe retreat for us! Avoid the embarrassing situation of being blocked in the Great Zhou territory!!"

"The advance and retreat are well-founded, and you will think about defeat before you have any consideration of victory. Master Bolai is indeed calm!" Molun also understood at this time and praised Bolai.

Then he looked at the leaders of the tribe in the golden tent and said, "I must have heard what the Grand Master said! Then, starting tomorrow, you will be able to capture the Dongshengwei at any cost!"

"Abide by the Khan's orders!"

...

After the many leaders in the tent had dispersed, Molun asked again: "Tishi Bolai, Taishi Maori, Taishi Mao led a large army to attack the three guards of Duoyan. What is the progress now?"

"Mauri Chi came to a letter saying that we need to attract the attention of the main force of the Great Zhou Dynasty first, so that he can wait for an opportunity to attack Duoyanwei!"

As he said that, Bolai shook his head slightly and said, "But in my opinion, the three guards of Duoyan are well-prepared and have many soldiers. Even if there are no reinforcements from the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will be difficult for Maori to capture the three guards of Duoyan and recover Urianha!"

The word "difficult" made Moron's expression change. This time, he had a lot of people in his family!

"It's getting late, Khan will take a break soon, and there will be a tough battle tomorrow!"

After saying that, Bolai also stood up and said goodbye.

…………

On the banks of the river, the dew is heavy in late autumn and the mist is everywhere.

On the official road of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the vanguard army was camping on the bank of the river, which was still 80 miles away from Datong Prefecture.

"Report!"

In the early morning, Jia Jing had just packed up when he saw a personal soldier coming in outside the tent.

"General, there is a Hongling messenger outside the camp to report the emergency!"

"Hongling Messenger?" Jia Jing hurriedly said, "You can't bring him in quickly!"

Shortly after the words were finished, a messenger wearing red feathers was brought over by his personal soldiers.

"General, the Tatar army besieged Dongsheng City, and Dongshengwei is in urgent need!"

"What?!"

Jia Jing was shocked, the Tatars came so quickly!

"What's going on in Dongsheng City now?" Jia Jing asked hurriedly.

"General, by today, Dongsheng City has been besieged by the Tatar army for five days. It was only after the night before yesterday that it was successfully broken through and asked for help. Before coming out, Dongsheng City was almost out of ammunition and food!"

"Where is Datong Prefecture? Dongshengwei was trapped for many days, so the general of Datong sat on his shoulder or not?" Jia Jing said angrily when he heard this.

Hearing Jia Jing's words, the messenger said angrily: "The person who asked for help arrived at Datong Prefecture early yesterday morning, but the new magistrate general refused to send troops to help Dongsheng City on the grounds that he had just arrived at the office and the palace's order was to gather and prepare for war!"

"Those two fools who kill thousands of swords! Do you don't understand the truth that your lips are dead and your teeth are cold?!" Jia Jing cursed.

Who would have expected that the newly replaced generals and prefects were so timid?

"Come!" Jia Jing shouted: "I passed the order of the general, and the army immediately set the camp. Everyone only brought dry food for two days, traveled lightly and simply to rescue Dongshengwei!"

Outside the camp, the messenger quickly left with orders.

Jia Jing ordered Lai Fu to send a scout and join the messenger of Dongshengwei to rush to the rear, explain the whole story, and inform the Duke of Wei to join the Dongshengwei.

Then he was sent to the Zhenwei Camp Cavalry Ziying.

"Person Hu, I will lead the main force of the vanguard army to run with all their might, supporting Dongsheng City, leaving you with two infantry (1,600 people), one cavalry power team (400 people), and you must escort the baggage convoy to Dongsheng City within two days!"

"The last one will obey the order!"

PS: Still please collect it, please recommend it...
