The guards at the city gate came to seek wealth, but how could they have thought that the vendors would burst out and hurt people! In a hurry, several soldiers were cut to the ground, and before the soldiers at the city gate could react, Li Siye had already broken into the city gate with a sharp blade in his hand, and hurriedly ordered: "Go and inform the Cui military division immediately, and send troops quickly!" ”

The captain of the city defender at the head of the city came to his senses, and led the soldiers to take the city gate, but he was chopped to death by Li Siye as soon as he joined it, and although the rest of the soldiers fought desperately to Li Siye, but with Li Siye's force, he was not afraid of these miscellaneous soldiers, and only one person and a knife blocked more than a dozen people at the inner city gate, and no one could enter half a step.

Cui You sweated on his forehead, riding on a tall horse, anxiously waiting for the news of the city gate, Cui You usually serves as a strategist, and now he is leading the army for the first time, of course, he is a little anxious, for fear of any accidents.

A sentry galloped over and said to Cui You: "My lord, Captain Li has taken the city gate, please send troops quickly!" ”

Cui You was overjoyed, raised his arms and shouted: "Soldiers, this is the time for our generation to make meritorious contributions, and the city is broken today, kill!" ”

"Kill!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison, their morale was high, and they killed in the direction of Quang Binh City.

When the generals in the city also learned of the seizure of the city gates, one of the generals was horrified, grabbed the collar of the soldier and shouted, "How many soldiers and horses does the enemy have?" ”

"There are only a dozen people who have taken the city!" The soldiers trembled and said in a panic.

"Waste, it's all waste, and even a dozen people can't stop it!"

The general scolded, kicked the soldiers to the ground, and his heart was a little calm, he knew that there must be a large army behind these dozen people, but as long as he eliminated these dozen people in time and captured the city gate, even if the enemy army had tens of thousands of horses, he would not want to take Guangping City.

The soldier grabbed the general's trouser leg and wailed: "General, that man is a demon, he can't beat it!" General, let's run! ”

"Get out of the way!"

The general cursed in his mouth and hurried to the city gate with more than 100 people.

There were also generals who quickly sent their troops out of the other city gates and went to the barracks to transfer troops.

The rise of Li Siye's killing, his whole body was already soaked in blood and broken flesh, like a mad demon, and every knife under his command divided the soldiers in front of him into two, so frightened that the surrounding soldiers were all hesitant and did not dare to step forward, and they had already thrown down their blades and fled in embarrassment.

Seeing this, the general was furious, brandished his sword and shouted, "Quick! Send a team of gōng nǔ hands to Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu wants to see if he can't stop ten thousand arrows through his heart! ”

And at this time, the general's ears moved, and he heard the sound of fighting, but between a few breaths, the shouting of killing became more and more intense, and the general's face turned blue, he didn't expect the enemy to come so quickly, the general looked left and right, and there were only hundreds of soldiers around him, and all of them were frightened, so how to meet the enemy?

The general simply threw down the blade in his hand and shouted: "Surrender, we have surrendered!" ”

When the surrounding soldiers heard this, their expressions were sent, and they also threw down the blades in their hands, knelt on the ground and hugged their heads to surrender, and the generals were still commanding their subordinates, "Quickly squat on both sides, don't get in the way!" ”

The voice was so loud that Li Siye at the city gate actually had a feeling of crying and laughing.

The soldiers of Cui Youjun, who entered the city gate, were also a little stunned when they saw the enemy soldiers squatting around and holding their heads, Li Siye took over the command and ordered: "One team controls the city gate, one team collects and surrenders troops, and one team is sending one team to take the arsenal, and the rest will follow me to attack the palace!" ”

"General, the villain is willing to lead the way!"

The general waved his arms crossed, shouting at Li Siye.

Li Siye pointed at the general and said: "Then you lead the way quickly, if you win Guangping, you will be credited!" ”

"Gotta do it!"

The shouting and killing of the military camp outside Guangping City gradually weakened, and the occasional counterattack was also cut off under the command of Yu Ban, Yu Ban did not dare to delay, the Guangping military camp has been pacified, but there was no news in the city, Yu Ban left a team of soldiers and horses to guard the prisoners, collected the corpses, and personally led the remaining men and horses to assist Li Siye.

Halfway through, he saw his own sentry coming in a hurry, and when he saw Yu Ban, he hurriedly told Yu Ban: "General, Captain Li has successfully occupied Guangping, and sent him to find the general to preside over the overall situation!" ”

Yu Ban's heart hanging in the air fell to the ground, Yu Ban led the army alone for the first time, and led the Beiping troops with low morale and lack of loyalty, which shows that it is quite difficult, and now that Beiping has been captured, Yu Ban should be able to be appointed by Liu De as the chief general of the first army, which makes Yu Ban quite happy.

Immediately ordered to speed up the march and go to Quang Binh.

......

Liu De led the army to deploy in the Datong River, and built a post along the coast, placed wolf smoke, if the enemy situation was found, immediately ignite the wolf smoke to pass the news, Liu De was afraid that the post would be ambushed, and could not send out the order in time, so he arranged a secret post behind the post to monitor the enemy.

The so-called wolf smoke is not really wolf droppings, after all, it is difficult to collect enough droppings, and the smoke from wolf dung burning does not rise straight up.

The so-called wolf smoke is just firewood, poplar, red willow, robust hemp, sagebrush, baici, camel grass, licorice, dry reed, shuttle and so on, these can be used as fuel.

Some ancient sources record that wolf smoke is wolf dung, which is a big mistake!

Why is the beacon fire called wolf smoke?

Because the wolf is a totem believed in by the Hu people and other foreign races, its soldiers are called "wolf soldiers", and its monarch is called "wolf lord", so the beacon fire ignited when the Hu people invaded the Central Plains is wolf smoke!

Liu De went out of the camp every day to observe the situation of the enemy army, and felt full of doubts!

He gathered all the generals together and asked, "Is there any conspiracy for the enemy army to be stationed on the other side of the river bank and practice every day, with such fanfare?" ”

"My lord, the number of enemy troops has not changed on the surface..."

Xu Shu pointed to the problem.

Liu De said: "This is also what I am puzzled about, the scouts have not found any traces of the enemy in other places, and there is no wolf smoke from various outposts. ”

"The enemy army is not trying to delay until December, and by then, it will snow heavily, and the Datong River will probably freeze, and the Datong River will be like walking on the ground at that time!" Xu Huang thought of a possibility and said to Liu De.

"There is indeed this possibility, if that is the case, we can only return to Beiping City by then!"

Liu De said unwillingly.

Xu Shu still had some questions, and asked: "If the enemy army wants to attack while the Datong River is frozen, it is a good strategy, but the minister suspects that the main purpose of the enemy army is to drag our army, and the minister feels that the enemy battalion on the opposite side does not have 40,000 soldiers and horses at all, it is all bluffing, and the main force is not here!" ”

"Where can it be?"

"Maybe it's the soldiers and horses who want to ambush General Guan!"

Liu De stood up, frowned slightly, and then made up his mind: "Then let's try it!" Let's see if the other side is really a good thing! ”

"Qi Jing and Sun Chongjin, you two lead 2,000 men and horses to attack the enemy's tent at night to test the enemy's reality!"

Qi Jing and Sun Chongjin are the only two generals in Liu Dejun's navy who have the adaptability of S, and the ability of the navy cannot be shown in ordinary times, but when it comes to the critical time, you will know how useful it is.

Whether Xu Huang fights on horseback, whether he fights alone or leads the troops, Qi Jing and Sun Chongjin are not opponents at all, but if Xu Huang is allowed to lead the naval army to fight with the two, I am afraid that Xu Huang will be stunned by the warship, so what to say.

With these two people in command of the naval army, they must be able to test the reality of the enemy's camp.

Qi Jing and Sun Chongjin took the order to go.

Although Yanzhou is located in the north, Daicheng is facing the sea on both sides, and Qi Jing and Sun Chongjin are in Dai County to lead the water army, so the Daicheng army knows how to water is not small, unlike Liaocheng and other counties close to the border fortress, which generally do not know water.

That night, Qi Jing and Sun Chongjin led two thousand soldiers and horses, took advantage of the night to the middle of the Datong River, lit the fire arrows, and the arrows fired together, and the fire arrows that fell into the camp quickly ignited the Yang military camp, and the fire blew more and more from the wind, and in a blink of an eye, it burned half of the sky.

Yang Junying's plate suddenly boiled, and the noise became more and more intense, Qi Jing and Sun Chongjin glanced at each other, both felt that this was a good time, and immediately ordered: "Full speed forward, attack the shore!" ”

When the two arrived at the shore, except for a part of the guarding ships, they led the remaining soldiers to attack the camp on the far left side of the enemy army, and the camp on the left side of the enemy army was also ignited by the two with rockets.

However, what the two didn't expect was that they were not facing the panicked enemy army, but the enemy army who had already been lined up neatly, and arrows rained down for a while.

Caught off guard, Sun Chongjin was directly nailed to the ground by an arrow, Sun Chongjin's personal guards hurriedly escorted Sun Chongjin to run in the direction of the warship, Yang Jun took advantage of the victory to pursue, tail in the rear of Qi Jing and Sun Chongjin, and shot Liu De's soldiers with crossbow arrows from time to time.

The two finally under the cover of the soldiers, got on the boat and quickly fled back to the camp, this battle, the loss of more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, but also the loss of Liu De's collection of ships.

Hua Zan raised his sword and looked at the battlefield just after the killing, and there were still remnants of boats floating on the surface of the river under the reflection of the moonlight, moving slowly with the current.

Hua Zan secretly said in his heart: "Now, Liu De will not easily provoke a war!" Stick to it for two months and it should be no problem! ”

Liu De looked at the embarrassed two, and hurriedly called the doctor to bandage Sun Chongjin's wound first, but fortunately, the arrow deviated from the heart by a few inches, otherwise, Sun Chongjin would not have a chance to come back.

"It seems that the enemy army has been prepared for a long time!" Liu De sighed.

Xu Shu stepped forward and said: "Lord, all the ships of our army have been destroyed, for today's plan, one is to continue to hold on, and the other is to lead the army to retreat!" ”

"No!"

Liu Deyi waved his hand and rejected Xu Shu's suggestion, but said: "I don't believe it, the enemy army can really bear it, let's pretend to withdraw the army and see if we can attract the enemy army to cross the river!" ”

"Maybe give it a try!" Xu Shu did not object.

Liu De's army slowly retreated in the next few days, but the news from the spies made Liu De very depressed, and the enemy army did not move at all, so it was nailed to the other side of the river.

Liu De was helpless, on the one hand, he sent carrier pigeons to inquire about the situation in Beiping City, and on the other hand, he sent fast horses to Guan Yu's army to ask them to be careful of ambushing the soldiers.

......

Zhang Cheng and Zhang Xiu brothers pretended to be traders and scholars, and led the soldiers to sneak into Bohai City in batches, which also had only 10,000 horses.

Huang Gai is tall and big, with a face full of meat, most of the people in Bohai City know Huang Gai, and the search is strict, so Huang Gai can only stay outside the city and wait for news from Zhang Cheng's brothers.

Zhang Cheng is steady and alert, presumably it should be very simple to contact the Bohai family, Huang Gai has no other way but to pray secretly.

Guan Yu received Liu De's news, slowed down the march, remained vigilant, and found the harassment of small groups of troops on the road, but they were all resolved by Guan Yu one by one, but Guan Yu knew that these small groups of soldiers were just appetizers, and the enemy army must be waiting somewhere to give him a fatal blow.

If you don't defeat this force, you won't be able to capture Bohai City, so Guan Yu is fighting steadily and will never give the enemy any chance to take advantage of.

When he arrived at a county seat under the jurisdiction of Bohai County, Guan Yu found that the enemy army was stationed in the county seat, using the county seat as a defense to block the army.

Guan Yu summoned the generals and said: "The spies have come to report, the enemy's 30,000 troops are stationed in the three cities, and they are cooperating with each other, thinking that the Bohai Sea barrier will not defeat these three county towns, and we will not be able to enter Bohai City!" ”

Gao Xi said to Guan Yu: "General Guan, the enemy's main general will deploy his troops and horses to the three counties of Junyan, Xifeng, and Yuanshan, which is afraid of the prestige of the general, hoping to cover each other and show a trend of cornering.

But he forgot that 20,000 horses were arranged in the three cities, and the average number of people in each city was only six or seven thousand, not to mention, because Yang Tianlong killed Sun Shu, the general of the light car, the people of the Bohai counties would not help the enemy.

The general can make more flags, siege ladders, bluff, so that the defenders of Junyan County think that we want to attack them with all our might, and will inevitably send troops for help, and at this time, the general can lead the soldiers and horses to ambush one of the enemy troops, and after ordering a general to drag the other soldier and horse and annihilate the enemy army, pretend to be an enemy army, deceive Junyan County, and take the city.

In this way, two enemy cities have been destroyed, and one city is left alone, what is there to fear? ”

Guan Yu was suddenly overjoyed and praised: "Today's Mr. Shizhi is strategic!" ”

So Guan Yu built military equipment outside Junyan City in accordance with Gao Xi's strategy, making noise day and night, and waving flags to cover the sun, which made the defenders of Junyan quite frightened.

Within a few days, the defenders of Junyan could no longer hold on, and immediately sent fast horses to ask for help.

"What!? Are you saying that Guan Yu's army is attacking the city with all its might, and you can't resist it? The guard of Xifeng County was shocked.

"That's right, it's true, and please send troops to rescue the general quickly!"

In order to let the Xifeng defenders come to the rescue quickly, the envoy exaggerated the truth of the facts, and it was obvious that he was also frightened by Guan Yu's strong army.

The general of the Xifeng garrison immediately ordered his troops and horses to support Junyan.

Guan Yu immediately led the army to attack, and sent Zhang Fei to drag another army and horses.

......

At this time, Liu De was on the bank of the Datong River and greeted the envoy from Luanzhou.

This envoy was the envoy who canonized Liu De as the Duke of Han, and when Liu De learned the news, he was a little confused.

"Quick! Tell the messenger to enter like a tent at once! ”

Liu De immediately ordered and ordered.

Then lead the army to meet the imperial envoys.
