Fuchou Mountain Range, Nangong Clan's flag fluttering, dozens of camp tents of all sizes surround a military camp area, two rows of camp walls of high and low are scattered to defend the entire camp area, there is a watchtower at each of the four corners of the camp wall, at this time the watchtower has probed the soldiers in front of them, and the herald soldiers quickly reported the central commander camp of the camp.

"Report! The front found the soldiers and horses of the Nangong clan, about 3,000 people, five miles away from the camp!"

In the commander's camp, Nangong Junyi, the second son of the Nangong clan, Miao Tianxiao, the hussar general, Fang Qingsong, the commander of Zuo Xiaowei, Zhonglang General and several people in the army were gathered, and they were discussing the matter of planning to mine the veins.

Hearing this, Nangong Junyi asked, "Which one of the soldiers and horses in the family is it?"

The herald replied: "Report to the second son, the subordinates have not found out, but the march is very fast, and they will arrive at the camp immediately!"

Nangong Junyi waved his hand, the herald withdrew from the commander's camp, turned to the others and said, "The generals will follow me to greet them, there should be something urgent!"

At the gate of the camp, Nangong Junyi led everyone to wait for a while.

Wang Yanxu had already led the troops to arrive, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and said eagerly: "Report to the second prince, Yancheng has been surrounded by 100,000 troops led by the Shao family, we suspect that the Shao family plans to besiege the city, and send another surprise army to raid the vein of Fuchou Mountain, and his subordinates will lead 3,000 cavalry to break through and come to help!"

Nangong Junyi was surprised when he heard this: "The Shaw Clan's large-scale attack this time is probably not just to snatch the veins of Fuchou Mountain, is there any other secret near Fuchou Mountain?" After speaking, he fell into deep thought, turned around and walked back to the central commander's camp, accompanied by the generals, and the rest of the soldiers and horses all entered the camp and entered a state of emergency combat readiness.

Wang Yanxu continued to add along the road: "When the subordinates broke through the siege, they fought with the commander of the broken military gate, and there are people who broke the military gate behind the attack of the Shaw Clan this time, and it is not only as simple as a vein to let the broken military gate come forward." ”

Miao Tianxiao heard the words and said: "The broken army gate has intervened, it seems that there should be a strange treasure to be present in Fuchou Mountain, the refined iron vein is only useful to us families, and for the six major sects, only rare treasures are worthy of their help." ”

Miao Tianxiao pondered for a while and said to Nangong Junyi: "Second son, my subordinates think that scouts should be sent to search all over Fuchou Mountain, if there is a strange treasure, our Nangong family should also get a piece of the pie!"

Nangong Junyi nodded and said, "Accurately, quickly send ten teams of scouts!"

Ten teams of scouts rushed out of the gate of the camp, and in a blink of an eye, they were scattered in all directions of the Fuchou Mountain Range.

After a while, I saw the watchtower herald rushing to the commander's camp. "Report! The front found the Shaw Clan military banner troops, about 30,000 horses, five miles away from the camp wall!"

Nangong Junyi heard this: "Order, the whole army will immediately enter the defensive state, and the generals will follow me to see who is committing!"

On the gatehouse of the camp, Nangong Junyi, Miao Tianxiao, Fang Qingsong, Wang Yanxu and the soldiers looked ahead and stopped moving forward, and the tens of thousands of Shaw Brothers troops who were resting in the whole army were thinking about how to win the decisive victory.

The Shaw Brothers troops rested for a while, set up a goose-shaped formation, and the left and right military formations were in the shape of flying wings. Suddenly, the war drums sounded: "Knock, knock, knock......", and the sound continued to circulate the mountains, shaking the birds. The horn sounded: "Woo, woo, woo, woo, ......", several cavalry generals in the center of the army array marched forward to a mile away from the camp, led by Shao Qifeng, the general of the Shaw Hussars, with six commanders and an old man behind them. The old man's aura was extremely similar to that of the commander who broke the military gate before.

Shao Qifeng, the general of the Shaw Hussars, shouted loudly: "Under Shao Qifeng, the general of the Shaw Hussars, today the refined iron ore in the Fuchou Mountain Range has been broken and the Shaw Clan is fully covered, the generals of the Nangong Clan, come and surrender quickly, otherwise you will be exterminated!"

Nangong Junyi was silent for a moment, looked at the generals around him and asked, "Do you generals think we should surrender, or do you have another strategy?"

Wang Yanxu replied eagerly: "Second son, my subordinates think that they must not surrender, the Nangong clan has no cowards, and they swear to fight to the end!"

Miao Tianxiao nodded and responded: "Second son, my subordinates also agree, but there is a huge disparity between the enemy and me, and we can't win it unless we have a miracle strategy. ”

Fang Qingsong smiled and said, "Second son, my subordinates think that the Shao Clan is currently bullying the weak and does not take us seriously. It is better for us to push the boat down the river, show the enemy to be weak, and then wait for the opportunity to surprise them, and the soldiers will not tire of deceit. ”

Nangong Junyi said with a smile: "I agree with your opinion, but the incident happened suddenly, the disparity between the enemy and us, and it is difficult to win in a frontal battle." It's better to pretend to subdue and wait for the opportunity to raid, we can catch the mantis cicada and yellow finches behind, and by the way, see what they are looking for. What do you think?"

Miao Tianxiao, Fang Qingsong, and others who joined the army all nodded and praised: "The second son can bend and stretch, and he is also talented!"

Only Wang Yanxu was silent, and after everyone left the command camp, Wang Yanxu arched his hand and said to Nangong Junyi: "Second son, my subordinates think that although this move is good, but I have not left a backhand, please allow me to lead a thousand cavalry elite soldiers to leave the camp first to explore Fuchou Mountain, and I can also be a surprise soldier to help you at any time." What does the second son think?"

Nangong Junyi nodded and smiled: "Okay! Set off immediately, remember to take the path to hide your whereabouts, and I will delay the Shaw Brothers soldiers and horses. If you need your help, I will release the fireworks signal made by the Nangong clan!"

Wang Yanxu replied with the order: "Obey the order, the second son pays attention to protecting himself, everything is safe!"

Nangong Junyi smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, with the hussar general by my side, even the person who breaks the military gate may not be able to hurt me." Let's go!"

After a while, Wang Yanxu led thousands of elite cavalry soldiers to change into civilian clothes, and strung into the woods and paths from the rear grain and grass camp tents, and disappeared.

Under the dark clouds, it finally rained heavily, and the people in the Nangong clan's military camp were depressed and had no fighting spirit.

In front of the camp, Nangong Junyi and the generals were communicating with Shao Qifeng, the general of the Shaw Hussars, about a quarter of an hour about the surrender. Nangong Junyi, the second son of the Nangong clan, Miao Tianxiao, the hussar general, and Fang Qingsong, the commander of Zuo Xiaowei, were only imprisoned in a camp tent, and there were servants to serve, and the rest of the thousands of soldiers were all confiscated weapons, enclosed a vacant lot and imprisoned with a wooden fence, and soldiers guarded in shifts day and night.

After all, the Nangong family is still one of the best families in Yangzhou, and the Shaw family does not dare to do too much, if the account is settled after the autumn, the Shaw family may not be able to afford it, this time it is mainly to take advantage of the opportunity of the head of the Nangong family and the eldest prince to lead the generals to the royal family, so they dare to raise troops to besiege the city and attack.

Night falls, the rain has stopped, the starry sky is full, and the moon is crooked with a smile.

In the barracks of the Fuchou Mountain Range, at this time, the entire camp has been replaced with the Shaw Clan's banner, and the Shaw Clan's troops have more than doubled the size of the camp in half a day, and all the troops that have surrendered to the Nangong Clan have also been settled.

In the commander's tent, Shao Qifeng, the general of the Shaw Hussars, and the old man who broke the army door were constantly communicating, as if they were discussing important matters, while the other six commanders were waiting on both sides, silent.

Shao Qifeng said: "Clan Elder, are you sure that strange treasure is in the refined iron ore vein?"

It turned out that this old man who broke the army gate was one of the elders of the Shao family, the old man's name was Shao Zhenyu, and by chance he entered the broken army gate to serve as the leader of the outer courtyard of the sect, and one of the people in charge of the guard patrol of the outer courtyard.

Shao Zhenyu replied: "There is no doubt about it, the elder of the Broken Army Gate has secretly explored this place, and the newly discovered source of refined iron ore is only a sign of the mountain range on the surface, but in fact, because the essence stone that has been bred for thousands of years in Fuchou Mountain is about to take shape, causing the crustal changes in the inner mountain range and the mineral source is exposed." ”

Shao Qifeng took over and said: "No wonder the Broken Military Gate strongly supported our Shaw Clan to encircle the Nangong Clan this time, and the six major commanders of the outer courtyard and the three elders have all sent out, I'm afraid this strange treasure is bound to break the military gate!"

Shao Zhenyu said with a smile: "This is only a small part of the strength of the outer courtyard that breaks the military gate, and they don't dare to send the people of the inner courtyard to intervene in a big way, after all, the other five major sects are also very concerned about this kind of heaven and earth treasure, so they can only hide us in the Shaw Clan troops and secretly seize the treasure." ”

Shao Qifeng nodded and said, "Clan Elder, without further ado, why don't we go and investigate the situation tonight?"

Shao Zhenyu pondered for a moment and said: "You can first send two commanders with dozens of elite soldiers to enter the refined iron vein to explore the road first! Tomorrow, when the three elders meet in the camp, we will discuss again. ”

Shao Qifeng nodded and took the order, turned to the commanders waiting on both sides and said, "Jia Fu! He Xifeng! You lead forty elite soldiers, quickly go to find out the route and situation of the mineral source! Go and go back quickly!"

Jia Fu and He Xifeng gave up their hands and said, "Yes!", turned around and hurried away.
