Looking at Liu Chen standing in front of him, Ren Fu felt in a mess and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Should we rescue Ge Huaimin from Dingchuan Village? Ren Fu should not go from the standpoint of the front commander. As long as we wait a few days, the Longyou Army will be able to occupy Xiaoguan and move south in large numbers. The most important thing now is to stabilize it. Before the Longyou Army arrives, there will be no trouble in the Zhenrong Army. Yuan Hao still fights the beasts, Ren Fu should avoid his edge and then kill him with one blow. Now the Song army in each village should not leave the city and guard the villages tightly. The best way is to make Yuan Hao helpless.

But how can I not be rescued? He was a general in charge of the army, and the two places were only twenty miles apart. Ge Huaiminzhen had an accident. How could Ren Fu explain? Even if he wins a battle, the court will not let him go.

After pondering for a long time, Ren Fucai said: "As the best strategy of our army, we should guard the city and let the thieves have no gaps to take advantage of. There are nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in Dingchuan Village, and there is no shortage of food and grass. Even if the thieves besieged the city, they will not be able to break it in a hurry. What do you think about Ge Sixiang's meaning? It is that the village is surrounded today and will not be protected in one or two days? The thieves are not good at siegeing the city, so they should not be like this!"

Liu Chen's face looked a little ugly, so he had to say, "I'm not hiding the deployment. The Gengxiang envoy was not familiar with the thieves for the first time. He might be a little panicked when he was suddenly surrounded. Hao's thieves only had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he could not break the village for a while."

Ren Fu nodded: "This is best. Go back and tell Ge Sixiang clearly that the thieves are not good at attacking the city, so that he does not have to panic. If he surrounds Dingchuan Village, the thieves may not think of breaking the village. Eight out of ten are to imprison other troops to help and set up ambush to plot the reinforcements of other cities. The best strategy of Dingchuan Village is to respond to all changes, defend the city and deal with the thieves. As long as you guard for three or five days, the Longyou Army can go south, and the thieves can only surrender."

How dare Liu Chen bring such an answer back? Ge Huainmin must go crazy. After thinking about it, he said to Ren Fu: "Dingchuan Village is outside the trenches and there are many bandits and horses, and there may be some accidents. If the village really cannot be defended, how should we inform the Zhenrong Army to send reinforcements here? I think it will be difficult to send people to report the news at that time."

"The two places are twenty miles apart, and there is a flat ground in the middle, just a trench. Go back and tell Ge Sixiang that if Dingchuan Village really cannot defend, he will break through, and then ignite thick smoke in the daytime and lead troops across the trench at night. I will send people to watch there. Whenever I see the smoke rising, I will light up the troops and go to pick them up."

Liu Chen thought about it and this was also a solution. If 10,000 troops in the village suddenly broke out, the Dangxiang Army would have no way to stop it. Ren Fu led his troops to support him, and as long as he crossed the trench, Yuan Hao would have no choice. In fact, as long as he responded properly, the Dangxiang Army would not be able to break through Dingchuan Village. Now it was Ge Huaimin's panic, which disturbed everyone's morale.

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Chen crossed his hands and said, "Before the thieves have not surrounded the village to death, we will drive back to the village!"

Ren Fu personally stood up and said, "Soldiers are dangerous, please be careful all the way, I will send troops to protect you!"

After saying that, he called the inspectors along the border and asked him to bring 3,000 troops and horses to escort Liu Chen back to Dingchuan Village. Yuan Hao's tens of thousands of troops could not suddenly emerge from all over the country overnight. It took time to assemble. Dingchuan Village was not surrounded by death at this time. The reason why Ge Huaimin was not allowed to break through at this time was because leaving the village was more dangerous than being in the village. Dingchuan Village was a big village, and everyone knew that the Dangxiang Army would not be able to defeat it in a few days. Even Yuan Hao himself wanted to force out the troops in the village. When he went out of the city to fight, the Dangxiang army had a great advantage and saved countless efforts.

He was so angry that he was too angry about Ge Huaimin and Ren Fu. He was also a general of the military and was one of the highest-ranking people in the Song army. How could he be so cowardly in the battle? He held ten thousand heavy troops in his hand and defended the village. Normal generals should have the confidence to fight Yuan Hao for a winter, and Ge Huaimin only needed to hold on for a few days, and I don’t know what he was nervous about.

After seeing Liu Chen off, Ren Fu said to Zhao Yu: "You bring dozens of smart and capable racquets and patrol the trenches. If you see smoke lifting in Dingchuan Village, come quickly. Ge Sixiang is a military officer, and his status is extraordinary, so you must not make any mistakes!"

Zhao Yu Yingnui went to the headquarters and chose dozens of people who were Zhongjin and reliable to take them there. Dingchuan Village was built on the trenches, and the village was only two miles away from the trenches, where smoke could be seen here.

Outside Dingchuan Village, Yuan Hao rode on his horse, looked at Dingchuan Village not far away, and told Wei Ming Shouquan around him: "This village, the Song army has been in operation for many years, the city is solid, the food and grass are sufficient, and there are nearly 10,000 troops guarding it. It seems difficult to break through!"

Wei Ming Shouquan shook his head: "We came from Tiandu Mountain in a hurry. We didn't bring siege equipment. Time is urgent, so it's too late to make it here. If we forcefully attack the city, we're afraid it's difficult to achieve the merit!"

Yuan Hao nodded: "That's true. The Song army is in charge of the strong city and should not be underestimated. However, this battle is related to the fate of the country. No matter how it is, this village will be broken! Can the king have good plans?"

Wei Mingshouquan thought for a while and said, "Dingchuan Village City is a strong attack, but it is not possible to attack. If you want to attack, you should not think of other methods. Speaking of strategy, it is nothing more than to find a way to find a way to people, grain, and water. The village has nearly 10,000 elite soldiers, and most of the generals are those who guard the border for many years. You should not attack recklessly, but start with food and grass and drinking water. There are so many stores in the villages, so we cannot surround for a long time. If we want to break the villages, we should still find a way to the water source. Wuzhu can urgently send people to check where the water drinks in the surrounding villages come from."

Yuan Hao said: "Are there no wells in the city like this big village?"

Wei Ming Shouquan shook his head: "In my opinion, there are almost no one in ten. This village is too close to the trench. If the well is dug, it must be much deeper than the trench to dig out water. Otherwise, the small well will not be able to support the army."

Yuan Hao was overjoyed and hurriedly called his personal soldiers to surround the village to check where their drinking water was. It would be best to be able to hold the Song army in the village and ask clearly.

In fact, what Wei Ming Shouquan said is not necessarily correct. Although Dingchuan Village is very close to the trenches, it may not be affected. This is the valley of Huluchuan. The groundwater gathers from the mountains on both sides into the trenches, and the water veins do not necessarily travel north and south. If you dig wells in the city, you can always dig wells with a lot of water. However, the Song army did not work hard on this before, and gave up after digging a few wells without water. Instead, it was replaced by water not far from the north of the village.

This was not a big deal. Dingchuan Village is located in a river valley, not a water shortage. It was time to dig a well in an emergency. However, this small omission was a fatal mistake in cooperation with a panicked general.

When the enemy army was at the city, Ge Huaimin still did not have the awareness of a lord defending the city. He sat in the back yamen all day long, thinking worriedly what he should do. As for how to arrange the city to defend, which army to go to the city, which army to do maneuver, which army to go out of the city to counterattack, and how each army rotated, he didn't care about it. Not to mention small matters such as food and water sources, he had no idea at all. The famous general who used to be polite, never saw him again, and only panic was left.
