After a short time, Wei Han said cheekily:

"Hmph, the general is waiting for the good news of your army and farewell!"

Wei Han turned his horse's head and galloped away, wishing to run as far as he could. When he returned to the camp, Ji Guang hurriedly asked him:

"General Wei, where is the Xian army going?"

"If you say you're going to Thunder City, you wouldn't believe it."

"Thunder City? The Xianjun is crazy. ”

"But there must be an attempt, it is better to let the scouts keep an eye on it, so as not to be put on the side by the Salty army again."

Wei Han was worried that the Xian army would attract the Black Turban Army, and when the time came, the Jin army would be hoarded outside the city, and the first unlucky one would be the Jin army.

At this time, Bailiyan (Wei Xian) led the army to the southwest in a hurry, and after leaving Guangxin for ten miles, he quickly changed his formation. The cavalry battalion of 500 cavalry, 400 people are divided into two groups, 200 people are a column, the front and back are 50 meters apart, each holding a torch, located on the left and right sides of the infantry 10 meters away, the infantry does not raise fire, sandwiched between the cavalry on both sides, and follows the light of the cavalry on both sides of the march.

Fifty horsemen gathered the team, followed behind the infantry army to collect the fallen soldiers, Baili Yan led more than fifty horsemen to open the way with Su Hong and Lu Zhao in front. In this way, it is difficult for the rebel scouts to judge how many men and horses the Xian army has dispatched by the number of torches.

The infantry march is generally arranged in four or five columns, Bailiyan changed the 8,000 people to two columns, deliberately lengthening the distance between the troops, so that it is difficult for the rebel scouts to know how many people there are in the Xian army in the night, and when it is daytime, the Bailiyan army escapes into the grassland and forest, and releases scouts to alert, and it is still difficult for the rebels to figure out how many people there are.

"General, I found that the Jin army scouts were secretly following our army behind me." Su Hong said quickly.

"Just let them follow, let them have a longer memory, otherwise Xianguo will be easy to bully."

"Then I'll take the brothers back."

Ignoring the actions of the Jin army scouts stealing chickens and dogs, the Baili Yan army continued on the road. After about an hour and a half, Bai Liyan ordered the whole army to repair on the spot for two quarters of an hour to replenish water and physical energy. Then he continued on the road, and so on until the next day he set up camp at dawn, and traveled more than 90 miles in one night.

At dusk the next day, the army continued the rhythm of the previous night, and most of the soldiers adapted to the intensity of the previous night's march, and the speed increased markedly that night, until the third day dawned, and they had traveled nearly 120 miles in one night.

At the same time, on the night that the Xian army left Guangxin City, they were discovered by the black turban scouts, and the news was transmitted back to the camp of the Thunder Heavenly King outside Dingyang City in the early morning of the next day.

"Report to the king of heaven, the Xianjun army suddenly left Guangxin and headed southwest last night."

"How many men and horses, cavalry or infantry?" Thunder asked.

"The infantry army is the majority, and the cavalry is hundreds. How many there are exactly, it is not clear. ”

"I don't know!" Thunder said sharply: "I don't know what to do when I come back!" ”

"The King of Heaven is angry, the shape of the Xian army is very strange, and it is completely different from ordinary marches, so it is impossible to see how many people there are in the Xian army."

"Get out of here, probe again!"

"No!"

The scout withdrew from the tent, and Qin Han said at this time:

"How does the Heavenly King plan to deal with it?"

"Hmph, the salty military uniform is a ghost, there must not be many soldiers and horses in this force."

"That's bait? Lead our army to divide its troops to chase, so as to break our army individually. ”

"It's never that simple. After discovering the movements of the Xian army, it is not too late to make a decision. ”

"Oh......" Qin Han sighed lightly, learning the lesson of besieging Guangxin, Qin Han no longer dared to talk about military aircraft.

Thunder planned to wait for half a day, and then make arrangements after finding out the situation of the Xian army, but he waited until the morning of the third day. In the vacuum time of the middle day, the rebel scouts were either killed by the Baili Yanxiao cavalry battalion, or the Xian army hid in the woods and grasslands, and the trace was difficult to find, and the details were unknown.

When the rebel scouts returned to the Chinese army on the morning of the third day, Thunder was furious and wanted to kill the scouts.

"Bold, why didn't you report it until now!"

"Report, report to the king of heaven, it's not that his subordinates are deliberately slacking, but the Xian army is more than 200 miles away, and it is hidden in the grass and dense forest, and it is besieged by the Xian army, and it is really impossible to come back." Scout said.

"Nonsense, I set out the night before, at best, I walked for two nights, and it was only two days this morning, how could I run more than two hundred miles in two days!"

"The subordinates dare not tell a lie, this is true, and the subordinates almost got lost. The Xian army did walk more than 200 miles in two nights. ”

Lei Ting was taken aback when he heard the news, spread out the map casually, and searched westward, only to find that the Xian army had already passed through the defense line of Pucheng more than 100 li to the west, more than 200 li from Lei Cheng, and more than 400 li from Ikeda.

Seeing this, Thunder asked the scout again:

"How many people are in the Xian army!"

"There are less than 10,000, and the vast majority of them are infantry troops, and they are not equipped with armor."

"No armor! Without armor, you can walk more than 200 miles in two days! Thunder didn't believe the scout.

"Heavenly King, the Xianjun army is lightly armed and simple, and he doesn't bring any heavy vehicles, so he can be so fast."

"Then can you walk two hundred miles barefoot in two days?" Thunder asked rhetorically, the scout speechless.

The Black Turban Army marched at most seventy or eighty miles, and could not hold it for a long time, and it had to be changed back to the state of regular marching adjustment for two or three days. Even if you unload your armor and march, it is difficult to make a rapid march for many days in a row, let alone a forced march, and a hundred miles a day is already a forced march.

"Someone!" Thunder summoned the guards.

"The subordinates are here!"

"There is news of the scouts sent to Guangxin."

"Respect the Heavenly King, there is nothing abnormal in the direction of Guangxin, and I have not seen any Xian soldiers and horses leaving."

"Passed on the military order of the Heavenly King, ordered the general Huang Pu to order 10,000 troops, ordered Pucheng, ordered Guan Du to lead an army of 10,000, and the two went to chase the enemy together."

"No!"

The guards withdrew from the tent, and Thunder asked the scout again:

"Did the Xian army move to the southwest before, did it continue to move southwest yesterday, or did it go west?"

"Still heading southwest!"

Lei Ting looked down in the direction of Pucheng Xinnan, his eyes gradually fell to Tiancheng, and he couldn't help but be shocked by his judgment:

"Could it be that the Xianjun army really wants to attack another 500 li and go straight to Tiancheng? Qin Caidong! ”

"What does the King of Heaven command?"

"There are walkers in the Xian army."

"It seems that I have never heard of it, the only person in the world who walks is Zhiguo, and our army can have today's combat strength, all of which are the generals of Zhiguo. If it's faster than Zhiguo's walking, unless it's a ......"

"Unless anything?" Lei Ting looked up and saw Qin Han's face ugly, and he said sharply: "Say, what is the matter." ”

Qin once heard that Wei Xian went to Lingling to practice medicine at the beginning of that year, and in order to exercise his physique, he once ran forty miles every morning without getting tired. According to this estimate, it is not difficult for him to walk 100 miles a day, or even 150 miles. But the difficulty is how to make thousands of people able to travel hundreds of miles a day, and this is the key. ”

"In this way, the Xian army has now trained a strong man, and wants to attack the rear of our army!"

"This, Qin didn't dare to assert."

"Someone!" Thunder shouted.

"The subordinates are here."

"Immediately send messengers to Tiancheng, Xiaqu, and Weijin, and order the three places to hold out, and the Xian army will attack the three places within five days, and the messenger must be delivered to Tiancheng within three days, and Weijin and Xiaqu within four days, go quickly!"

"No!"

Lei Ting would never have dreamed that it was his order that finally fulfilled the Xian army's attack on the three places.

The Black Turban Army messengers arrived at Tiancheng first three days later, and arrived at Weijin and Xiaqu on the fourth day. At this time, Bailiyan led the Xian army half a day in advance, and arrived ten miles northwest of Tiancheng in the middle of the night after the seventh day after departure, and traveled 130 miles on the fastest day, with an average of 110 miles per day.

"Su Hong, ordered all battalions to rest in hiding, and after dawn, all battalions discarded all items except weapons, kept rations and water bladders in a unified manner, changed into people's clothes, and assembled in Tiancheng. You will lead a hundred capable men with Ben to take the door. ”

"No!"

……

"General Lu Zhao."

"The end will be."

"After the warriors are reduced to zero, you will lead the three thousand archers of the Feather Arrow Battalion to set off and turn at the West Gate."

"The last will obey."

At the moment, there is no such thing as turning the whole into zero, at the beginning of Bailiyan's first mention, in the eyes of Lu Zhao and Su Hong, the team has been reduced to zero, and it is no different from a rout. Baili Yan ordered each battalion to take the centurion as a unit, dismantling more than 8,000 people into more than 80 units, disguised as the city's autumn harvest of the hundreds, and scattered to gather in Tiancheng.

If it was a group action, not to mention that the rebels had received the report in advance and had taken precautions, they would inevitably scatter scouts outside the city to wait for the rabbits, so before entering the territory of Tiancheng, Bailiyan walked an extra thirty miles to the west, bypassing the vision of the east and north flanks of the city, and the rebels only knew that the Xian army was coming from the east, and the main reconnaissance direction of the scouts was concentrated in the east, and they never imagined that the Xian army had surrounded it from the outside.

In the middle of the night, when the sky was bright, Bai Liyan and Su Hong led 100 elite people, disguised as ordinary people, hid the horizontal knife behind their backs, wrapped their leggings around their waists, put on rag robes and straw hats, and it was almost difficult to find that there was a sword hidden in the clothes behind their backs.

When it's time to use it, simply reach your back and pull it out. The rest of the warriors followed suit and hit the road in batches.

After the autumn is over, the people who were originally concentrated in the city live in groups of makeshift shacks, ranging from one or two hundred to thousands, all of whom are men, women, and children.

After the start of the war, the common people scattered in the villages and counties were concentrated and moved to the main city of the administrative office to hold on, only in the busy agricultural season, the chiefs and county officials of each village and county organized the people in the jurisdiction to go to the land to cultivate, and after the end of the farming work, they returned to the city again until the next agricultural work went out again.

Bailiyan led people to shuttle through the fields, the speed was extremely fast, and from time to time there were groups of farmers who cut rice to cast their eyes, and their eyes were very indifferent.

"General Wei, there is something wrong with these people."

Su Hong asked in wonder, and Bai Liyan whispered:

"There's something wrong, they've all been brainwashed by the cult."

"Cult? Brainwash? What is cult brainwashing? Su Hong didn't know why.

"You don't understand, you see that they don't have any scythes in hand, they are all iron, and they are extremely sharp."

"The general is saying that the new scythe that Lu Cheng mentioned earlier?"

"Yes, most of these people have been trained, and the scythes they have in their hands are deadly weapons, called Ge, and they are weapons when they put on wooden clubs, and tell the brothers not to stop, but to pass through this place quickly."

"No!"
