Since Pharmacist Li occupied Xiping, he strengthened the city defenses day and night, and the Jincheng County Guard also took great pains to raise the last batch of military rations and transport them to Xiping. Needless to say, the people of Xiping fled to Chang'an with their families and mouths, and some ambitious young people spontaneously stayed behind to help defend the city.

On this day, the weather was fine, and early in the morning, Pharmacist Li was sitting in the room writing official documents, when suddenly a soldier came running.

"Report! The young master asked the general to go to the lobby to discuss the matter quickly. ”

Pharmacist Li waved his hand, put down his pen, got up, and walked briskly towards the lobby.

In the lobby of the Xiping County Mansion, Chang Dan frowned solemnly and looked at the map.

"Young master, what's wrong?"

"Of the ten teams of scouts released last night, only one team came back, and all of them were wounded." Chang Dan sighed and said with a serious face.

Pharmacist Li couldn't believe it, his scouts were all carefully selected, so they wouldn't be so unbearable.

"This ......" Pharmacist Li was speechless for a moment.

"To be honest, this time we were able to take Xiping so smoothly, not relying on our army's courage and good fighting, so I think some soldiers are afraid that they are a little overconfident, and the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, I think General Li can't know it."

"This ...... The old man naturally knew that it was just that the scouts under the old man were carefully selected from the Ganzhou Iron Cavalry, and even if they met the enemy scouts, they would not be killed if they could not win. ”

Chang Dan looked at Pharmacist Li and was silent.

Pharmacist Li muttered in his heart, what the hell is wrong? Could it be that they met the main force of Menghu? No, counting the time, it should be a few days before the Menghu army arrives.

"General Li, I guess the enemy vanguard has already arrived." Chang Dan shook his head and said with a smile.

"How is that possible! According to the news obtained by the old man, it was only a day since the Menghu army left Wuwei County. Could it be that they can fly? "Pharmacist Li didn't believe it, no matter how fast the horses of the Menghu people were, it would take three or four days from Wuwei County to Xiping County.

Chang Dan didn't want to say more, looking at Pharmacist Li's expression of disbelief, he sighed helplessly, shook his head and left.

In fact, Chang Dan had already received the news from the secret agent flying pigeon, and the Menghu vanguard had already set off on the night of the Menggo night banquet, and Menggo didn't even tell his subordinates, and the Menghu generals were so dizzy that they went back to the camp and fell asleep, where did they know that the vanguard 10,000 had been led by Zhebu, the leader of the Xiwuhe tribe, and marched towards Xiping.

Pharmacist Li naturally didn't know this, and after Chang Dan left, the more he thought about it, the more scared he felt, and after thinking about it, he decided to hurry up and take a look in person.

Not long after, Pharmacist Li took two thousand iron horsemen out of the city lightly.

Chang Dan saw clearly at the head of the city, and he estimated that in a few hours, Pharmacist Li should have encountered the enemy's advance. At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh at how important intelligence was when the two armies were fighting, but fortunately he got the information in advance this time, otherwise he wouldn't know what he was doing when the enemy's vanguard came to the city......

However, it is not known when the reinforcements will arrive, alas......

Chang Dan sighed, hurriedly got down the city tower, and prepared for battle.

Barrack.

"Vice Admiral Wang? Vice Admiral Wang! Chang Dan trotted and shouted loudly.

"Hey! Young master, the end will be here. Vice General Wang hurriedly ran out of the military tent, dressed in coarse cloth and a cotton jacket.

Seeing this, Chang Dan's face sank.

"Why don't you wear armor?" Chang Dan was a little unhappy.

"Back to the young master, the last general was on duty last night before he went to sleep." Vice Admiral Wang replied unhurriedly.

Chang Dan suddenly lost his temper, secretly rolled his eyes, and forcibly held back his anger.

"The enemy vanguard is only fifty miles away, you can watch it." Chang Dan said angrily.

Vice Admiral Wang straightened up in fright.

"Why are you still stunned? Hurry up and reorganize the army......" Chang Dan was so anxious that he jumped.

Only then did Vice General Wang make sure that it was not a joke, and turned his head and ran away while agreeing.

After a while, a gong sounded frequently, and the military camp instantly became tense.

In the end, the Ganzhou battalion was an elite division that had been on the battlefield for a long time, and soon, 8,000 people were assembled, and Vice General Wang walked in front of Chang Dan in full armor.

"Young master, the Ganzhou battalion has been assembled." Vice Admiral Wang saluted and said loudly.

Chang Dan looked at it, it was good, the morale was available, and he nodded with satisfaction.

"The whole army listens to the order, Deputy General Wang leads the shooting to the city, and the rest of the troops will follow me out of the city to line up!" Chang Dan raised the Flying Rainbow Sword in his hand, and his momentum was like a rainbow.

After hearing this arrangement, Vice General Wang wanted to suggest that Chang Dan be in command at the head of the city and lead the troops out of the city by himself, but when he saw Chang Dan's unquestionable posture, he thought about it and forgot it.

After Chang Dan arranged for those young men who were temporarily trained to be responsible for the vigilance of the east and west city heads, he took 6,000 men and horses out of the city, set up a military formation under the city, and waited for the arrival of the Menghu people.

The sun is cold, the west wind is wailing, the snow is sweeping the mountains, covering the sky, and the military flag and white flag of Chang'an Mansion on a red background and black sides are fluttering at the same time.

Chang Dan carried a flying rainbow on his waist, wearing a battle robe, and paced back and forth in front of the battle with great energy.

At the head of the city, Adjutant Wang stared at the horizon, and the archers tried their bowstrings and waited quietly.

A few hungry birds soared in the air, calling from time to time.

The sound of horses' hooves broke the temporary calm, and far away, Pharmacist Li led the army to seize the road.

……

"Childe is really clever, he is really the vanguard of the enemy army, I think there are at least 10,000 people." Pharmacist Li flipped off the horse and said breathlessly.

"A little faster than I thought." Chang Dan smiled slightly and helped Pharmacist Li.

"Childe is coming into the city, and the enemy army will arrive soon." Pharmacist Li said.

"What are you doing in town? I think it's right here, let's fight first. Chang Dan looked at the open wasteland, the melting ice and snow soaked in the withered yellow weeds, in the sun, there was a special mood.

"The enemy army is large, and the enemy army is all cavalry, and fighting outside the city is not good for our army, so it is better to hold the city and wait for reinforcements." Pharmacist Li disagreed with Chang Dan's idea and retorted.

"Defend the city? General Lee, can you hold it? Chang Dan looked at Li Yaoshi and said worriedly, although this Xiping is sandwiched between two mountains and can be defended according to danger, but after all, the enemy army is 50,000 and our army is 10,000...... What if the enemy doesn't attack? Judging from the secret reports received these days, Mongo is by no means an idle person, and he is quite strategic, and I am afraid that he will not be stupid enough to use such a strategy as a forcible attack.

"How can you not hold it?" Pharmacist Li glared at Chang Dan, a little angry.

"No, no, General Li, I should ask, will the enemy attack Xiping as you think?" Chang Dan shook his head and hurriedly changed his question.

Pharmacist Li chuckled in his heart, yes, what if the enemy army doesn't attack...... The Menghu cavalry was the best at guerrilla ...... At this moment, he was a little uneasy, and glanced at Chang Dan, but he didn't expect this hairy boy to think of such a thing......

"But if you don't attack, what will happen to the enemy?" Pharmacist Li calmed down and asked.

"I don't know at the moment, but the enemy shouldn't be stupid enough to attack. Therefore, if you want to hold back the enemy, our army must take the initiative, that is to say, our army must take the initiative! Chang Dan said categorically.

Pharmacist Li couldn't help but nod his head, expressing his agreement with Chang Dan's statement.

"The enemy has 10,000 vanguards, which is on par with our army, and they have come from afar, and our army is waiting for work at ease, relying on the city to fight. So, I decided to lead the army of 8,000 and take the initiative. Chang Dan was full of pride for a while, confident, and pointed to the north and said.

Pharmacist Li lowered his head and thought for a while, and decided to listen to Chang Dan.

"Okay, then Deputy General Wang will lead 2,000 people to defend the city, and the old man and the young master will lead 8,000 troops to go out together, how about it?" Pharmacist Li asked.

"Okay, the general can lead the iron cavalry to raid the enemy, and after the battle, he will withdraw and not fall in love, and I will lead the army to meet the enemy in the rear."

After Chang Dan finished speaking, he whispered a few words to a soldier beside him, and when the soldier turned around and entered the city, he flew on his horse, and only the troops lined up to meet the enemy.

"Ganzhou Iron Cavalry obeys the order, kill me back!" Pharmacist Li was unambiguous at the moment, and as soon as Chang Dan finished speaking, he turned around and got on his horse, raised his sword and commanded.

……

Soon, a man and a horse appeared on the horizon, followed by a row, and another row...... Black pressed a ...... From a distance, it looks like an ant colony, rushing towards Xiping.

The leader is Zhebu, since the battle of Luling, he has been depressed, his own people were forced to dismount when fighting with the Suzhou battalion, not to mention, I thought that the enemy would be broken with one blow, but I didn't expect it to be as easy as Khan said, and the result of the light enemy was heavy losses, so he was quite resentful in his heart but did not dare to attack.

Unexpectedly, before the banquet that night, Meng Ge secretly summoned him and ordered him to sneak away during the banquet, lead 10,000 troops, and set off first. This can be regarded as a lot of balance in my heart......

No, I came all the way non-stop.

"Chief, we can do a great job now." A small leader said.

"yes, we appeared unnoticed, and I don't know if it will scare Anda out of the woman's bed." The other leader joked.

When everyone heard this, they laughed.

While everyone was joking, Jebu frowned and raised his hand to stop everyone.

The crowd fell silent.

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in my ears.

"Report ...... Great Chief, the cavalry of the Kingdom is here!! "The scout is coming.

Everyone was shocked!

Zhebu was also at a loss for a while, how could there be Han cavalry?

"Report ...... Xiping City has been occupied by enemy troops!! General Anda captured! "Another scout came on a panicked horse.

"What?!! How do you know? Jebu roared angrily and startled.

"He, he, he...... He...... He was hung on the tower by the enemy! The small ones are clear! The scout stumbled.

Jebu was completely stunned now......

This news instantly set off a wave among the Monhu people.

Anda captured? Anda is all captured! This is the first warrior of Menghu...... He was one of Khan's favorite generals, and he was captured......

First there was shock, then a panic, which spread, and the faces of the Menghu people gradually became gloomy......

Zhebu looked ahead, and the banner of the Ganzhou Iron Cavalry was eye-catching.
