Dahan Guanghe 5th year, October, autumn.

The king and company of the Xianbei Alliance led an army of 10,000, the tribesmen Budugen and Putou combined 5,000 troops, and the tribesmen Mijia sent 5,000 troops. The 20,000 Xianbei infantry cavalry divided into three routes, intending to plunder the north.

Northland County, Great Wall.

At this time, the soldier Dou Liang, who was in charge of the defense of Xiaoguan of the Great Wall, was leaning on the city wall on the city gate tower and polishing his ring knife. He is a well-deserved old man in this Lingzhou County, he was assigned to the frontier at the age of seventeen, and now it is his fifteenth thought in this Lingzhou County, and he has been guarding this lonely city in the north for fifteen years, just because of the crimes he committed when he was young.

How many fifteen years can this man's life have?

Dou Liang's knife was sharpened slowly, but it was very delicate, and his knife had cut a row of small openings when he was sparring with Guan Yu a few days ago, and he wanted to sharpen these openings again.

Dou Liang and his Liuqu military candidates were still a little dissatisfied with Ma Yue's direct assignment of new military candidates, but they were not keen on fighting for power and profit. It's just that this place in Lingzhou County may become a battlefield of swords and fires at any time, who doesn't want the robe around him to have the ability to lend a helping hand when he is in danger? After all, Ma Yue is so young, although he is famous, he is not familiar with military affairs, and many things in military intelligence have to come to them to ask them, how many old people in the frontier can know people?

Although Ma Yue is not proficient enough in military and political affairs, he is good at asking without shame, no matter how simple the question is, as long as he doesn't understand, he will come to ask people who know it, and even the top priority of defense, he often asks their opinions, making them feel that they are very valued. What's more, Ma Yue's training ability is not bad, so Ma Yue focuses on training soldiers, and military affairs are discussed by everyone at regular meetings every ten years.

The word "regular meeting" is what Ma Yue said, and these people like this policy very much. In the past, the county lieutenants were all in charge of power, and let these soldiers do whatever they wanted, even if it was a suggestion, it was difficult to listen to it, and suddenly changed to an enlightened boss like Ma Yue, and it was easy to win their favor.

Besides, Guan Yu and the three of them are indeed capable people as Ma Yue said.

Guan Yu's martial arts are unfathomable, even Dou Liang, who has the highest martial arts in the Liuqu Army, cannot defeat Guan Yu, and his best record is a draw in forty moves. Dou Liang is martial arts used to be the highest in the north, and even Emperor Fu Song, the Taishou Emperor, wanted to recruit him to his side, but Dou Liang didn't go, he wanted to stay in this small city in Xinjiang and be a military candidate for a lifetime.

Horse play is very capable of combat, and knows scout work well. Peng Tuo is also good at martial arts, and has a good ability to dominate his subordinates.

Who doesn't respect a man who is capable?

Seriously sharpening the blade, Dou Liang was distracted, he digested his own experience of knife techniques after learning with Guan Yu a few days ago. For Guan Yu's martial arts Dou Liang is extremely admired, he himself is skilled in arches and horses, fifteen years ago he came here, after more than ten battles, and Xianbei small conflicts are countless, nearly a thousand levels have today's martial arts, can be described as a long-standing battle, but he has never met such an opponent as Guan Yu, no matter how fierce his offensive Guan Yu can always resist, but Guan Yu's casual blow requires him to deal with carefully.

"Ahh

Thinking about the knife technique, his fingers were unconsciously too strong, his fingers pressed against the blade and rubbed it, making a cut, Dou Liang hurriedly put down the ring knife, tore off a strip of cloth from his clothes and hastily bandaged his injured fingers, and suddenly saw a few black smoke rising into the sky in the distance, Dou Liang was shocked.

Wolf smoke, although it is called wolf smoke, does not actually burn wolf dung, but burns weeds, sheep dung, cow dung, reeds and the like as fuel. It's just that the foreign race is as greedy and cunning as wolves, so it is called wolf smoke.

The setting off of wolf smoke indicates the discovery of the enemy, which is divided into one to four, the greater the number of enemy troops, the more wolf smoke channels, and four ...... It means a big invasion.

Leaning on the city wall and looking into the distance, although the distance is extremely far, you can still see the smoke and dust in the distance, and there is obviously a large group of people.

"Four! Wolf smoke! Scouts go out to investigate the enemy! ”

Soon four wolf smoke ignited, and fifty Han scouts galloped out on horseback and galloped towards the vast grassland.

They have a great mission on their shoulders, and they are all brave and fearless real men.

Now, there is no one around him, and there is only Dou Liang on the city tower to receive the subordinates who rushed to answer the news. This section of the Great Wall belonging to Lingzhou County is sixty miles long, and his subordinates guard a beacon. Soon the beacon fire will all be lit, and his men will gather here.

Although he had long been mentally prepared for the Xianbei invasion, but at this moment, when the four wolf smoke were really ignited, Dou Conscience was not nervous, for him, every battle was a death on the battlefield, and every victory was a rebirth of Nirvana.

Dou Liang continued to grab the ring knife, there were still a few gaps in the knife, this time he sharpened it quickly, very fierce.

Everything is in a race against time.

The beacon fires of the pavilions on the Great Wall were lit one after another, and black smoke rose into the sky with a fierce momentum.

After lighting the beacon fire, the soldiers of the Tun immediately withdrew from the Great Wall, mounted their horses and galloped towards the pass.

Xianbei people are good at field warfare, not good at attacking fortifications, they can only attack Liangzhou from Xiaoguan, do not open the mouth, their people can take a ladder to enter the pass, but the horse can only stay outside. The Xianbei people who did not have war horses, foot combat was not the opponent of the Han army at all.

At the same time, the nine pavilions within a radius of forty miles within the jurisdiction of Lingzhou County were all lit.

Ma Yue was training in the school field, this ten years there was no military affairs is a soldier waiting for Wang Wei, suddenly heard a noise in the city, looked up and saw the north gate of the city wall on the tower is rising black smoke, Ma Yue knew that he had been waiting for this moment, came.

"Send someone to inform the city of Liangqu, everyone will organize their armor and assemble at the north gate!"

The horse stepped on the black horse like the wind and ran towards the office.

Su Zhenghe, Gutar and others in the governance center have also received the news, and Ma Yue felt that Gutaer was already waiting for him with a long-handled broadsword and a stomach when he was in the office.

As soon as they met, Ma Yue rolled the saddle and dismounted, and without waiting for Su Zhenghe to speak, he preemptively said: "The Xianbei people are here, and Su County ordered to quickly send people to notify the counties in the north, and at the same time summoned the people to transport the axle load to Xiaoguan, and opened the treasury to carry arrows and weapons, and rolled stones and wood. ”

Su Zhenghe nodded and said, "San Lang, don't worry, go to supervise the battle, and leave the matter here." ”

The more the horse put on his armor, the long knife in his hand stepped on the horse. Gu Taer and Yang Feng were also dressed neatly at this time and led their horses over. The three of them ran all the way to the north gate.

The meaning of the military town is clear at this time, Lingzhou County has a population of 5,000 households, all of which are military households, carpenters, blacksmiths, grain merchants, and the war is closely related to them. Do your part.

The two groups of people and horses in the north of the city quickly gathered together, at this time there is no need to say any nonsense, these soldiers who have been stationed here for many years understand the meaning of the four beacon fires better than him, with an order, the horse crossed the horse and raised the sword and pointed to the north, six hundred Han cavalry followed, and the sound of horses' hooves roared on the official road......
