But the soldiers of Lianyunbao obviously didn't think so.

In the northwest corner of the fort, on the Yangma City, on the protruding sand pier watchtower, the two beacons pointed in the direction of the slim bluestone ridge and shouted something to each other, and then one of them hurriedly turned around, pulled out the mallet, and began to knock on it.

Yangma City is three zhang wide and five zhang long, it is a small castle, and Lianyun Fort is interlocked with each other, built on the cliff. After hearing the sound of drums, Feng Shuai and Feng Deputies, who lived inside, hurriedly pulled open the door of the room, poked their heads up and shouted something, and the answer they received was: "Fan Zi's ranger!" ”

"There is smoke and dust on the other side of the bluestone ridge, which has covered the clouds."

When Feng Shuai heard that it was not good, he hurriedly called Deputy Feng to take the other three Feng Zi and hurriedly entered Lianyun Fort to report the sword and axe guarding Zhang Yufei, and he himself crossed the rice bags and firewood piled up under the wall, and then pulled down the knee ladder, with a loud sound, and rushed up to the watchtower on the top.

He grabbed the battlement, and a beacon had already shot a crossbow at the door, and turned to a place hundreds of feet below: on the high post opposite Lianyun Castle, several elite armored horsemen covered with leopard skins, holding straight and slender horse lances, carrying swords and bows, were standing there, looking around, as if they were testing the reality here.

"The autumn wind is up, Fanzi is coming, this is really true." Feng Shuai looked to the west again, and at the bluestone ridge that stretched between them, there were several streams of smoke and dust, covering the sky and the sun, with a dignified murderous aura, and the poignant and vast beards and drums came and went.

"Smoke from the stove!" Feng Shuai turned around and ordered to the two Feng Zi beside him.

The two beacons immediately fell from the bent-knee ladder to the back of the beacon wall, walked to the sudden stove facing the west of the barrel mouth, pulled out the sheep dung for warmth, and then lit the flowing fire rope and threw it into the firewood cage in the sudden stove, and soon the black wolf smoke came out of the beacon of Lianyunbao silently.

"Fanzi is here!" The first to react was of course the Lianyun Castle that was close at hand, and when Zhang Yufei stood at the head of the fort, he could already see the pass of Qingshiling, and in the sound of gongs and drums that shook the sky, countless cavalry of Xifan, all of them were white-maned and white horses, gushing out like heavy snow falling on a mountain.

Soon, the wolf smoke from the Sheep and Horse City on the east side of Lianyun Castle also came out, followed by Baiquan Fort, where Gao Yue was located.

What else did Shi Fu say, "Kongmu, please take off the flail, maybe Xifan will come to attack our Jingzhou soon, although my leg is caned, but I can still hold the bow!" ”

In the blink of an eye, the black smoke of Baiquan Fort came out, and Gao Yue and Shi Fu both turned their heads in unison, looking at the entire Lianyunbao, Baiquan, and Gongchi Lake areas, the beacon smoke was burning everywhere, and soon covered the entire sky, drifting towards Jingzhou City.

In the fields of the Baiquan Army, first a few soldiers began to run towards the fort, and then many people rushed through the wheat fields, shouting and looking behind as they ran—several horse-shopped sentinel cavalry, raising crackling whips, galloped along the road between the fields and the hills, creating a heart-shattering tense atmosphere.

At this moment, the gale suddenly rose, and when he saw the Kunlun Nuwei Daotian who was in a bad situation, he hurriedly led the neighing horses and carried Gao Yue up, "Fanzi is here, hurry up and report to the festival marshal to know!" ”

"Kongme, Kongme!" Before the tiger fell outside Baiquan Fort, Shi Fu was still standing in the cage, shaking the shackles on the shackles loudly, "Take off the shackles for me!" ”

Gao Yue, who was sitting on horseback, grabbed the reins and pointed at Shi Fu with a horsewhip, "Since this flail is on, it must be taken off after ten days." ”

"Kong Mu is too strict!" Shi Fu shouted helplessly.

"Military law has to be strict, this shackle can only be taken off until you die, or I can only take it off when I die." After speaking, Wei Daotian patted the horse's buttocks, ran the horse that accompanied Gao Yue, and walked towards Jingzhou City, leaving Shi Fu, who was anxious and howling there.

The gates of the city were opened, and the soldiers of the Anxi Courtyard camp rushed in, and according to the command of the military officer holding the roster, they began to put on armor and hold bows, looking for their own weapons, and the horn of the city was sounding.

In the main hall of the palace, all the generals were in armor and gathered with murderous energy, Duan Xiushi was wearing a sash and a sharp sword, and Gao Yue rushed in, "Down!" ”

There was an uproar, and the armor under Duan Xiushi's armpit sounded, and he raised his hand to stop Gao Yue from saying the next word, "Gao Kongmu stays in the city, guards the beacon banner at the head of the city, and communicates with Lianyunbao at any time." In addition, it is necessary to call the delivery shop as soon as possible to send people, through the horse recess and grass walls, to Changwu City and Fengxiang Mansion for help. ”

Then Duan Xiushi raised his hand and ordered to the generals: "There is Gechuan behind the military tun of Baiquan, there is Lianyun Fort on the left, and there is Alanta Temple on the right, only there is no danger in front, but our army has built four forts, and there are garrison guards, and now the army is out of the city, and the force is strangled in front of the military tun!" ”

"Whoa!" The generals answered in unison.

After everyone quickly walked out of the corridor of the wing, Gao Yue stayed alone and woke up after a while: Duan Xiushi is to protect the eight hundred springs and eight hundred hectares of military tun that have been reclaimed with great difficulty!

No, I have to send someone to report to Changwu and Fengxiang as soon as possible, and call Li Huaiguang and Zhu Zhu to come for reinforcements.

When he arranged everything, he began to run out of the military palace and walk towards the head of the city, but found that the common people and craftsmen in the city began to climb the city wall: the military town in the west is like this, once the enemy is pressing, the army, officials, and people have the responsibility to defend the territory and fight.

"Third brother, third brother!" In the crowd, Zhi Hui squeezed out, grabbed Gao Yue's hand, and hurriedly asked, "The master mother asked me to ask you if you are well?" ”

"Ankang Ankang, you and Wei Daotian take care of Ah Ni, and I'll go to Dengfeng and guard the flag."

"Oh, third brother, be careful!"

When he climbed up to the watchtower at the head of the city, the panting Gao Yue looked at it, and the foot soldiers of the Anxi camp had already divided into teams to the places where they were arranging their formations - there were cavalrymen who arrived first, holding long pole signs tied with colorful colors, so some of the Tang soldiers wore ear hats, some wore leather pockets, and the black pressed one by one phalanx, and drove to the area one or two miles outside the city, forming a huge formation, all kinds of military flags and weapons were erected, there were spears, tribulus sticks, knives, and bows and arrows behind them. The phalanx where Duan Xiushi, the core of it, was located, and the tooth soldiers in the middle were wearing two armors, and they were all carrying mighty long-handled knives and snow flakes on their shoulders, and they were all neatly entered, "This is the Mo knife!" ”

Gao Yue sighed in his heart, after all, it was the team left by Li Siye, and there were some remnants of the Mo Sword Formation.

The terrifying sound of hooves sounded, and at the auxiliary wing of the Jingyuan Xingying army, Yao Lingyan, the envoy of the soldiers and horses in front of the Yaqian, and Lu Fengli, the envoy of Youyi, led more than 1,000 elite horsemen, and they were galloping by, apparently wanting to start an outpost battle with the approaching Xifan army to win time for our army's formation.

Western Fan Army...... Gao Yue followed the smoke and dust stirred up by the cavalry of the Jingyuan Xingying Camp who were advancing rapidly, and tried to look in the direction of Qingshi Ridge.

The impression of the Western Tibetan army on him was that the cavalry, the cavalry, the countless cavalry, the cavalry all over the mountains, from the wilderness under the mountain to the top of the mountain, were all cavalry, and the center was full of white horses, mighty, rolling down like an avalanche - only the variegated war horses and cavalry between the two wings, presumably it was the servant army of the Western Tibetan.
