On September 19, in the afternoon, the Ghost Fang Alliance outside the city camped. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Feng received an urgent report from the scouts, and found a scout team galloping from the direction of Fangcheng on both sides of the Suotou River, dozens of miles away from the south of the Ghost Fang City, each team had about 500 control strings, one of which gradually approached the Ghost Fang from the north of the west bank of the Suotou River, and the other team went north from the east bank of the Suotou Water to quickly approach Songshan.

The Hu people fight, there has always been a scout team to investigate first, less than dozens of horses, more than thousands of control strings, galloping, back and forth like the wind, very alert, the slightest wind and grass will whistle away, never love war, so Li Fengyun did not care, ordered the scouts to pay close attention; Ordered the Thunder First Army to block the killing, and did not allow the enemy scouts to approach Onifang and Matsuyama; He also ordered to set up an ambush for all armies, hide carefully, and not be exposed, the reinforcements of Xi Wangfu are coming, and prepare for an ambush.

However, a wise man has a thousand thoughts, there must be a mistake, Li Fengyun calculated in every way, but he didn't calculate, until this moment, whether it was the ghost side or the Xi Wangfu in Fangcheng, or even the Xi King Ah Huizheng and the five generals of the Xi clan under the Luoma City, they did not find that their enemies were Middle-earthers, and they all mistakenly thought that their opponents were Turks, and as a result, they made wrong judgments about the current battle situation and came up with wrong countermeasures.

Of course, Li Fengyun did not fail to take into account the existence of this possibility, but tens of thousands of Middle-earth troops rushed into the ghost side, and they couldn't hide their traces at all, and in the lightning plain, in the flat pine forest, there were the ears and eyes of the Xi people everywhere, and there was no way to confuse the public and hide the truth, so Li Fengyun directly denied this assumption.

The officers and soldiers of the First Army of Thunder were all horse thieves in the southeast of the moraine, they had already changed their clothes, and their armor and weapons were basically the same as those of the Middle-earth Guards, so when they appeared on the battlefield without disguise, the scouts of the Xi clan were stunned, and their eyes widened in disbelief. How is this possible? How did the enemy change from Turkic to Middle-earth? It is understandable that the Turks disguised themselves as forest horse thieves, but it is unbelievable to disguise themselves as the Middle-earth army, which is impossible.

However, the army in front of them is indeed the Middle-earth army, and their armor, banners, heavy troops and other equipment can prove this, so the Xi scouts are more and more puzzled, if this army is a fake Middle-earth army, where did they come from? It doesn't fall from the sky, does it?

The Thunder Army roared in, and the Xi scouts turned around and ran, one howling like wolves chasing and intercepting on all sides, and the other fleeing in panic like a flock of sheep. After this chase and escape, the scouts of the Xi tribe quickly saw that the horse thief was a horse thief, even if he was under the banner of the Middle-earth army and wore the armor of the Middle-earth army, but because he had not undergone long-term formal training, the thief's nature had not changed, and his original form was immediately revealed.

The scouts of the Xi tribe suddenly realized that this was a group of horse thieves dressed in Middle-earth uniforms, and the horse thieves could not have such a large number of Middle-earth uniforms, nor could they have so many men and horses to surround the Ghost City, so it turned out that the enemy must be the Turks, but the Turks have always been arrogant, why do they have to hide their heads and tails this time?

On September 19, late at night, Li Fengyun received an urgent letter from the chief manager Zhong Xin and Hu Luba. The Turkic army arrived at the Lightning River yesterday afternoon, crossed the river today, and slowly approached Taoshui, and it is estimated that the attack will be launched tomorrow.

The reaction of the Turks was expected by Li Fengyun. Of course, the Turks wanted to be fishermen and obtain the maximum benefits at the lowest cost, but the maximum interests sought by Shibi Khan and Qiji were not consistent, and Ashina had his own interests, and he did not have much will and motivation to prevent Middle-earth from conquering Anzhou until his own interests were satisfied. It was based on this judgment that Li Fengyun only deployed 5,000 men and horses on the Taoshui defense line in the flat forest, and he concluded that Ashina would not cross Taoshui, let alone attack with all his might, before the situation in Anzhou was not clear, and Shibi Khan and Ya Tent strictly demanded that he protect the Xi people.

Li Fengyun replied to Zhong Xin and Hu Luba, the decisive battle was imminent, and asked them to find ways to use the terrain advantage to block the Turks, and they had to set fire to it.

September 19, late at night, Luoma River, Chifeng Jinkou.

The humiliating king Lei and the uncle and nephew of the humiliating king Mengba were so worried that they led three thousand horses to control the strings and whip up, galloping all the way, and arrived at the Chifengjin mouth of the Luoma River before dusk, and then crossed the river immediately regardless of fatigue.

Considering that Ah Hui is preparing with the remaining four main forces after a day's preparation, he will definitely evacuate quietly tonight, so that tomorrow the Khitans will definitely find out, trailing and chasing, although Ah Hui Zheng can not hide the traces of his retreat along the Tuochen water, but the Khitan people have a ** misunderstanding as a suspicious strategy, after all, the Xi army retreat "There is no possibility of reluctance to seek far, so it is not surprising that tomorrow the Khitans will kill the Luoma River, go straight to Songshan, and there is only one day between the uncle and nephew of the Wang family. The uncle and nephew must buy more time for themselves, otherwise there is a danger of annihilation of the whole army, but the strength is too weak, the means are limited, and the only way at present is to destroy Jinkou and add a little difficulty to the Khitans crossing the river, that's all.

Late at night, just as the uncle and nephew of the Wang family were about to cross the river, the stagecoach sent the latest urgent report from the Songshan Pass. This is an urgent letter to King Xi, and the others have no right to open it, but the uncle and nephew opened the urgent report without thinking. At a very moment, the matter is urgent, but more importantly, Ah Huizheng and the other four sacrifices to humiliate the royal ministry completely angered the uncle and nephew, and the humiliated royal ministry was abandoned by the siblings at the moment of life and death, this is a betrayal, a betrayal, a stab in the back, is tolerable or unbearable, since he has turned his face and turned against him, what else is there to scruple about, the big deal is that the fish dies and the net is broken.

Yesterday morning, the enemy troops were approaching the pass, but did not launch an attack. From this urgent letter, it can be estimated that the current situation of the ghost side, the Turks are either attacking the ghost side city, or they will start attacking the key pass today, or, under the ghost side city, waiting for Ah Hui to withdraw with the Xi army, in short, the situation is deteriorating, but fortunately, the pass is still in hand. Of course, when they arrived at Songshan two days later, it was difficult to say whether the pass was still in their hands, and the only thing they could do now was to hurry up.

The uncle and nephew burned Jinkou, severed contact with King Xi, and even withheld this urgent item. Anyway, Ah Huizheng will not rescue the ghost party, and this urgent mail will have no effect on sending it over, but if it accidentally falls into the hands of the Khitans, it will be a disaster, and this is the reason why Meng Ba personally rushed to the city of Luoma and asked Ah Huizheng for help.

In the middle of the night of September 19, Xi Wang Ahui was leading his army to evacuate, and under the cover of night, he left behind a large amount of grain and grass and baggage, and quietly fled. He lost this battle, more than two months of attack, labor expeditions, nothing, and finally was stabbed in the back by the Turks, the loss was too great, although it will not be a puff, but if you want to restore the pre-war strength, it will take a few years to recuperate, but the great powers are around, the conflict between the north and the south is fierce, and the general environment is deteriorating day by day, who will give him time to recuperate?

Late at night on September 19, on the west bank of Suotoushui, Li Zixiong led his army to march in a hurry, and the soldiers followed lightly and rushed wildly in the dark. This time the south is not to attack the city and pull out the village, but to rush to Gubeikou in the shortest possible time, obtain grain and grass support, and strive for the support of the Zhuojun Garrison, and then turn around and attack north, echoing with Li Fengyun from north to south, and attacking back and forth, so speed is the top priority, and in order to obtain speed, first of all, we must pass safely, we must hide our traces, and we must keep it secret, so we must walk day and night. Of course, the hardest thing is Mi Yong and Jingjiang Liujinfei, who are more than 1,000 horse soldiers, who rush to the front to find out the enemy's situation during the day, pretend to be horse thieves and thieves to confuse the public, and even knock out some eye-catching checkpoints and post stations in the name of burning, killing and plundering, and at night they accompany the main force to lead the way while marching carefully, wearing multiple hats and doing their best.

In the early morning of September 20, the Feather Cavalry and the Leopard Cavalry, under the leadership of the Thunder Horse Army, left the avenue and turned eastward for more than ten miles, rushing out of the river valley plain and heading straight for the dense mountains and forests. When the morning sun rose, all the soldiers of the alliance hid in the dense forest, and there was no sound. Li Zixiong, Han Shige, Zhou Zhong, Yang Gongdao, Lai Yuan and other generals did not rest, gathered together to discuss the route of the night march.

"There are still about forty miles away from King Xi's Mansion, but fortunately, King Xi's Mansion is located on the east bank of Suotoushui, and we have crossed the river to the west bank the night before. Jing Jiang pointed to Fang Cheng on the map, and clicked it a few times, looking very excited.

In fact, this time the selection of the vanguard went south, and so far the luck has been very good. In order to avoid the northward reinforcements of King Xi's mansion, they deliberately took the trail on the east bank of Suotoushui, but halfway through, the scouts found that a horse army was roaring from the opposite side, forcing the Xuanfeng army to immediately change the route of the march and immediately cross the river and turn into the west bank of Suotoushui. Later, it was discovered that the horse army was a scout team sent by Xi Wangfu, and in the rear of this team, there has been no reinforcement from Xi Wangfu to the north.

Li Zixiong and others are quite puzzled, but they can also understand the "delay" of Xi Wangfu, after all, Xi Wang A Huizheng and the five armies have not yet withdrawn, and the Xi people are at an absolute disadvantage on the ghost battlefield, in this case, Xi Wangfu will go north to support with limited troops, and it will not change the overall situation, but put Xi Wangfu in danger, it is better to garrison Xi Wangfu with heavy troops first to ensure the safety of Xi Wangfu, and when Ah Huizheng and the five armies come back, the Xi people have reversed the situation on the battlefield of the ghost side, and Xi Wangfu will go to support it again.

It's just that in this way, it is cheaper to choose the front army, there is no danger, quietly approaching Fangcheng, although there is a river apart, but it is close to the Xi Wangfu, it is very easy to be exposed, fortunately, the Xi people have done their best for this northern expedition, the whole tribe is mobilized, the whole people are soldiers, all the Xi tribes are concentrated in the town and its surrounding areas, to ensure the stability of the internal situation when the five armies are on the expedition, and other local forces such as Han and Yu in addition to participating in this expedition, they must also provide a large number of people for the expeditionary force to help transport grain and grass. Therefore, the two sides of Suotoushui are now sparsely populated, and the remote places are even more rare, which provides convenience for the selection of the front army to hide their traces.

However, no matter how good the luck is, it can't last long, the first target of the selection of the front army is Gubeikou, which is to win the support of Youyan officials and local forces, once exposed, the Xi army dragged the pace of going south, delaying the time to go south, and the consequences will be serious.

"Tonight, we will first walk dozens of miles of mountain roads, and then turn into the avenue and go straight to Dou Ling, and the soldiers will be in the water river." Jingjiang Liujin pointed to the wet water on the map, "If Mi Yong finds the mountain pine nuts and some big axes, we can cross the river south tomorrow night and kill Bai Tan directly." Baitan is an important town in the south of the Xi nationality, there are heavy troops stationed, we rushed to Gubeikou, no matter what, we can't hide Baitan, this battle must be fought, but as long as we get the mountain pine nuts and a number of big axes to respond, we can surprise the enemy and attack the enemy unprepared, and hit Baitan by surprise. ”
