Xiangping Barracks.

As soon as he rode a fast horse and came to the dust, Lao Yuan shouted loudly: "Beizhen has been lost, and the soldiers and horses of Liaoxi have invaded Liaodong County." ”

The voice grew louder and louder from far to near, and the soldiers who were training in the school yard could hear it clearly and clearly.

"Quick, take me to the general, Beizhen is lost!"

The knight on horseback galloped to the gate of the barracks, rolled off his horse and fell to the ground, and shouted urgently.

The two soldiers guarding the gate hurriedly picked up the messenger and walked towards the main camp.

"General! Northtown is lost! ”

In the camp, Liu Yizheng was discussing with Li Tao, Zhao Yun, and Guan Hai, when suddenly a voice sounded, startling the four of them at the same time.

The soldier who reported the news said to Liu Yi and said: "General, the big thing is not good, Beizhen has been lost, and the Liaoxi army is approaching. ”

"What!"

Liu Yi stood up in an instant, and said angrily: "I am a brother and sister with Gongsun Zhan, but I didn't expect him to kill each other. ”

"Zhao Yun and Guan Hai listen to orders!"

The two of them were shocked, bowed down in front of Liu Yi, and replied loudly: "The end will be!" ”

"Immediately gather men and horses, bring only rations, and after half an hour, send troops to Beizhen to crusade against the thief army."

"No!"

The two took the order and left.

Liu Yi said to the soldier who reported the news: "You go down to rest for a while, and then go back with the army." ”

"Yes!"

Everyone left, and only Liu Yi and Li Tao were left in the camp, and the two looked at each other for a while, but neither of them spoke, but they seemed to have told each other everything in their hearts.

Half an hour later, Liu Yi raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, just now the news came back from the fast horse, Beizhen was lost, and the soldiers of Liaoxi pressed the border on a large scale, wanting to annex my Liaodong and kill my wife and children. ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The soldiers of the two battalions, 7,000 men and horses, shouted loudly, like a torrent, wave after wave.

"Guan Hai listens to orders!"

"The last general!"

Liu Yi held the arrow in his hand, and said solemnly: "The Qingzhou battalion is the vanguard, set off immediately, before dawn tomorrow, we must rush to Beizhen, and before noon, we must recapture Beizhen." ”

"The last general commands!"

Guan Hai responded loudly, although the time is tight and the task is heavy, but in Guan Hai's eyes, these are nothing, he wants to prove to his own lord that Qingzhou Yingsheng'er is not a soft egg, and attacking the city and killing the enemy will not be a soft egg.

Guan Hai took the arrow, rode his horse to the Qingzhou camp formation, raised the arrow above his head, and shouted loudly: "Brothers in the Qingzhou camp, it's time to show our courage and let everyone see what a real man is. ”

"Qingzhou Battalion!"

"Mighty!"

After Guan Hai's straightforward pre-war mobilization, 3,000 men and horses left the camp and headed for Beizhen.

……

Liaoxi County.

Yan Gang hurriedly gathered 8,000 men and horses to go to Beizhen, but due to the suddenness of the incident and insufficient preparation, it was delayed for most of the day.

Halfway up, there was a fast horse back, which was Gongsun Xu's personal soldiers.

"General Yan, Gongzi has successfully taken Beizhen, please send troops quickly."

So fast?

Yan Gang was stunned for a moment, even if the defenders of Beizhen were scarce, it would not be so fast, calculating the schedule, I am afraid that it will not be an hour, and Beizhen will be taken.

"Let me ask you, how did Childe capture Beizhen?"

After Yan Gang reflected, he asked.

At this time, the tail of the pro-soldier rose to the sky, and said with a smile: "The prince used a strange tactic to send people to mix into Beizhen first, and then before nightfall, he suddenly waved his army to kill, and the enemy was caught off guard. ”

Yan Gang's heart was relieved, and after listening to the reply of the pro-soldiers, there should be no problem with this matter, so he relaxed immediately, and said to the pro-soldiers: "You go back and tell the prince first, this general will arrive at noon tomorrow at the latest, and let him send more rangers to patrol and take precautions as soon as possible!" ”

"No!"

The soldier turned and walked away, looking triumphant.

Yan Gang turned around and said to the soldiers beside him: "You ride a fast horse and send the news to Youbeiping, tell the lord that the prince has captured Beizhen, the war has started, let him preside over the overall situation." ”

"Yes!"

Yan Gang's personal soldiers responded and quickly headed towards the right Beiping.

"The whole army is speeding up, and we must rush to Beizhen tomorrow."

Yan Gang shouted loudly.

At the same time as the soldiers and horses of Liaoxi were marching rapidly, Guan Hai's men and horses were also hurrying at night, no one was left behind, and no one complained of suffering, in the past four years, they have not wanted to return to the battlefield all the time, and in Goguryeo in the past four years, it is indeed a pain in idleness.

Guan Hai licked his shriveled lips, his mouth was dry, and he felt uncomfortable even swallowing a mouthful of spit.

There are two water bags hanging on the horse's back, and the water in them shakes with the galloping war horse, but Guan Hai still didn't reach out to get it, this water is reserved for the war horse to drink, people are thirsty, but the war horse under the crotch is not comfortable, long journey, if you don't replenish water in time, you will be tired to death sooner or later.

But in order to save time in searching for water, Guan Hai could only leave the water for the horse to drink, so that he could quickly reach Beizhen.

At dawn, Guan Hai took the soldiers of the Qingzhou battalion and finally rushed to the outside of Beizhen, the sparks on the city tower could already be seen very clearly, and a team of Liaoxi soldiers were patrolling back and forth on the city tower, sometimes looking at the movement outside the city.

"General, give the order to attack!"

Guan Hai's lieutenant rode over and said in a deep voice, the big knife in his hand had already been clenched, just waiting for Guan Hai's order.

Guan Hai looked back at the brothers behind him, all of them were too tired to stand up, and there were no siege equipment, so he lost the siege so recklessly, and he had no way to kill himself.

"Wait, before leaving, the military advisor gave me a bag of tips, so that it can only be opened after arriving in Beizhen."

Guan Hai took out the bag and untied the bundle on it, and there was a white cloth inside, which read: Attack the city at three o'clock in the afternoon, you can shout three times with the city, the thieves will not be removed, wait for when!

This......

Guan Hai was a little confused, did he only need to shout three times, and Beizhen would be able to get it without a fight.

"General, what did the military advisor say?"

Guan Hai handed the strip of cloth to the deputy general, and said in a deep voice: "The military division has always had endless and unpredictable schemes, but I am afraid that this Beizhen has already had a mystery. ”

The adjutant general handed the strip of cloth back to Guan Hai, and said in a deep voice: "Since the military division has already planned, why did we rush to Beizhen before dawn and launch an attack at noon?" ”

Guan Hai shook his head, he didn't find the slightest clue about the calculation after thinking about it.

"General, what are we going to do now?"

The adjutant asked.

Guan Hai looked around, pointed to a mountain forest in the west, and ordered: "Hide in the forest first, wait for the opportunity." ”

"No!"

Three thousand men braved the last night and quietly ambushed in the woods.
