Insulting Wang Yun glanced at Meng Ba. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Meng Ba understood, and immediately pointed to the map spread on the desk and said, "Ah Hui is evacuating Luoma City late at night on September 19, in order to speed up the retreat, it is inevitable to abandon a lot of baggage, but even so, considering that the soldiers have been fighting for a long time, tired, and wounded, plus the mountain road is difficult to travel, at most it is more than 100 miles a day. In this way, they could arrive at Qijin Mountain, the capital of the Murod tribe, three days later, that is, on September 22, to get food and grass replenishment, and then continue on their way, and if all went well, they could arrive at Sanhui City, an important town in the southeast, four days later, that is, on September 26. From Sanhui to Xi Wangfu, about 400 miles, during which it is necessary to cross the two rivers of Wudushui and Wulieshui, so even if Ah Hui is worried, day and night, sleepless horses galloping, it will take three days, that is to say, under normal circumstances, Ah Hui should have withdrawn to Xi Wangfu on September 29. ”

Today is September 23, if Ah Hui is withdrawing to Xi Wangfu on September 29, then Li Fengyun will still have six days to attack Xi Wangfu, but it will take two days for the ghost side to go south to Xi Wangfu, so Li Fengyun will only have four days at most to attack Xi Wangfu.

Li Fengyun thought for a moment and asked, "How many defenders are there in King Xi's Mansion?" Who is the Fangcheng Defender? ”

"There are 6,000 defenders in King Xi's Mansion, including 4,000 horse troops and 2,000 infantry troops, and its guard will be Ah Changsheng, the son of Ah Huizheng, and he will be assisted by Shi Fenghong, the head of King Xi's Mansion." Meng Ba said without hesitation, "However, during the expedition of Ah Huizheng, in order to ensure the safety of the Xi Wangfu, all the populations of the two tribes of Qige and Mohefu on both sides of the Suotou River were concentrated in Fangcheng and its surrounding areas, and some local Han surnames in Anzhou also lived in the city, so if the Xiwang Mansion was temporarily recruited at a critical moment, the Xi Wangfu could still gather thousands of men and horses to defend the city in the shortest possible time." ”

"In this way, we can't attack by force, one is not sure of going down with one drum, and the other is that even if we take it, we will lose our troops, and it will be difficult to defeat Ah Huizheng." Li Fengyun hesitated slightly, and said without hesitation, "The soldiers are not tired of cheating, if you want to easily take the Xi Wangfu, you have to rely on you to humiliate the king's department." ”

Yun and Meng Ba's father and son looked at each other, and a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes, it was obvious that Li Fengyun had already thought of a siege strategy, and the key to this strategy was "deception", which happened to coincide with the siege strategy of their father and son. Li Fengyun is really powerful.

On the afternoon of September 23, Yanshan, north of the Great Wall at Gubeikou, suddenly wolf smoke rose on both sides of the Baoqiu River, and the frightened alarm sound echoed with the wind between the mountains and mountains, and the killing spirit rose to the sky.

The defenders of the Xi nationality in Panlong Fort are light and light, not nervous, they seem to be accustomed to it, and they are not strange, but the large and small caravans temporarily stationed at the foot of Panlong Mountain have "blown up", all the merchants, guards, and servants rushed out of the tents in a swarm, panicked, shouting, or leading horses, or pulling carts, or shoulders and backs, and even some people drove cattle, sheep and livestock, like a tide to Panlong Fort.

The flow of people continued, and the gates of Beaulong's Fort had been opened, allowing the caravan to storm the fort.

The commander of Panlong Fort, Ahui Ale, and Tara, stood on the city wall, looking at the rivers and mountains in the distance, looking for traces of the enemy.

During this period, with the "popularity" of the border city of Gubeikou, the bandits and robbers hiding in Yanshan also suddenly became active, frequently robbing and killing, which not only affected the trade of the border market, but also endangered the security of the border town. Before, the southwest border garrison chief's office and Su Zhi personally sat in Panlong Fort, with more troops, and organized many people to escort caravans to kill bandits, which was quite effective, but recently the horse thieves on the plateau also roared out, and even formed a coalition army to attack the city and pull out the village, burn and kill, and plunder, once cut off the connection between the southwest capital Baitancheng and the Xiwang Mansion, which seriously affected the internal security of Xidi. So Su Zhi had to leave Panlong Fort with part of his army and rush to Baitan City to kill the horse thief coalition army on the Bashang Plateau.

As a result, the defensive strength of Panlong Fort weakened, and the bandits and robbers of Yanshan were arrogant again, but the situation had changed at this moment, because the bandits on both sides of Baitan City and Dayao Water were too rampant, and the road to Xiwangfu had been interrupted, resulting in a large number of caravans having to stay in Panlong Fort. Beaulieu Fort is a garrison fortress, and of course caravans are not allowed to live in the fort. In desperation, the merchants had no choice but to set up tents on the banks of the Baoqiu River at the foot of Panlong Mountain, so that they became the prey of the bandits, and they would be robbed and killed by the robbers if they were not careful.

Fortunately, this is the front line of border defense, there are many fortifications, many beacons, and many post stations, and even if the defense of Panlong Fort is insufficient, from the perspective of security, it still has to take out part of the troops to bear the responsibility of lookout and vigilance, and by the way, it can also help the caravan to guard against the bandits in the old forest of Yanshan. From then on, as soon as the bandits showed their heads, the traces of the bandits fell into the eyes of the border guards, and they immediately roared into the sky, the wolf smoke was billowing, and the siren sounded, and then the caravans under the Panlong Mountain rushed into the fort for refuge.

But you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder, in order to plunder the property, the bandits are also out of the way, racking their brains, using all means, doing everything, as a result, although the Panlong Fort garrison tried their best and did their best, but they still couldn't prevent it, the caravan was still repeatedly attacked and killed, the property was still repeatedly looted, and even some of the scouts, beacons, and post generals of the garrison were killed. The two sides have come and gone, and they are fighting on an equal footing.

Today, however, the situation is a little different. In the distance, there are more and more wolf smoke, getting closer and closer, half of the sky is dark, and the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the dysprosium and the alarm horn are also from far and near, one after another, it can be seen that the bandits and robbers are rapidly approaching the Panlong Castle. Under normal circumstances, there should be three or three scouts rushing back at this moment, quickly retreating into the fort for safety, but so far today, there has not been a single scout pawn.

Ah Hui Al and Chu and Tara looked grim and anxious, and as time passed, the two of them were anxious and even more ominous, and they were in a mess like ants in a hot pot.

At this moment, a war horse suddenly rushed into the "sight" of Panlong Fort, galloping wildly, the soldiers on the city wall who wanted to pierce couldn't help but let out a burst of earth-shattering cheers, and then saw the war horse galloping along the Baoqiu waterbank, and in a blink of an eye, it had rushed to the foot of Panlong Mountain, along the winding mountain road, and went straight to the fortress with all their might.

The two controllers in the fort were impatient and rushed out to respond.

On the city wall, Ahuial's eyes were still fixed on the mountains and forests in the distance, praying that there would be other scouts to retreat, but Chu and Tara hurried down the city wall and rushed to the city gate to wait for news.

Soon the two strings returned, one leading a frothing horse and the other carrying a bloodstained scout with a long arrow in his back.

Chu and Tara were furious, gritting their teeth and tearing their eyes, "Who? Who hurt you? ”

"Middle-earth...... Ma...... Thousands ......of horsemen," the scout looked at Tara, and with all his strength, said in a staccato manner, "Here they are, here they are, Middle-earth......

"What do you say? Middle-earthers? Thousands of horsemen," Tara didn't understand, and shouted at the scout, "Who is the enemy?" Where is the enemy? ”

"Middle-earth, Middle-earth horsemen, thousands ......of horsemen," the scout said, his eyes widened and he used his last strength to say "Middle-earthers." Then he died of exhaustion.

Middle-earthers? Tara is inexplicable and incomprehensible. The Middle-earths are in the south, in front of the Beaulong, on the Great Wall a few miles away, and the enemy in front of them is in the north, in the rear of the Beaulongs, if it is the Middle-earthers, or thousands of horsemen, how did they come over? Wings flew over?

Tara ordered the two strings to place the dead scouts, and then rushed up the city wall, looking out into the mountains and forests in the distance, and at the same time shouted to the oncoming Ahuial, "The scout has been killed by an arrow, and before he died, he said that the enemy was a Middle-earthite, and there were thousands of horsemen. ”

Ah Hui Ale immediately stopped, and the expression on his face instantly froze. Absurd, nonsense, the Middle-earth army is on the Great Wall of Gubeikou, a few miles away from Panlong Fort, and those miles of road are full of dark sentinels, the slightest wind and grass will be wolf smoke, how can this enemy in front of you be the Middle-earth army, and it is also a horse army of thousands of horses?

He was about to open his mouth to ask questions, when he saw a general (centurion) of the Mukun tribe rushing along the steep staircase, looking very nervous, and before he could get closer, he was already panting and shouting, "Horse army, there are thousands of horse troops galloping forward." ”

Ahui Ale, Chu and Tara were secretly surprised, there were really thousands of horsemen killed? There are special personnel in the fort through special tools to judge the enemy outside the fortress according to the ground vibration situation, such as to prevent the enemy from digging tunnels, and this detection tool is also effective for the horse army team approaching the fortress, a large number of war horses running at the same time The vibration is very strong, and experienced people can immediately make judgments based on this, especially at this moment, its accuracy is beyond doubt, because just now there are scouts desperately rushed back to report this incredible news.

Ah Hui Ale and Chu and Tara forced their composure, the two looked at each other, their eyes were full of suspicion, but now the identity of the enemy is not important, as long as you know that the person who is coming is an enemy, and it is a powerful enemy, the top priority is to hold the fortress at all costs and wait for help.

"Close the gates." Ah Hui Ale waved his hand vigorously and shouted at the soldiers around him, "Beat the drums, sound the trumpet, and prepare for battle!" ”

The drums of "Knock Knock...... were like thunder, and the horns of "Woo Woo Woo Woo ......" were excited, and suddenly the wind and clouds surged, and the mountains changed color.

The sound of "booming ......" galloping horses accompanied by the whistling mountain wind and turbulent pine waves echoed between the mountains and mountains, and gradually spread into the "ears" of Panlong Fort.

The enemy came, and sure enough, it was a contingent of thousands of horsemen. Ahui Ale and Tara were very nervous, and the garrison in the fort was even more panicked, and everyone was puzzled, where did this team come from, if it was Yanshan bandits, it was impossible, the bandits did not have such great strength, if it was the horse thief alliance on the Bashang Plateau, what was the place and Su Zhi doing now? How could he allow the horse thieves to reach Beaudragon Castle? Could it be that he lost the battle with Suzhi? Or was the coalition of horse thieves defeated by the Su Branch, and the wolves rushed to the Horn in a panic and fled to Beaulongburg?

The roar of the galloping horses became louder and closer, and suddenly a team of horses rushed out of the mountains and forests, and one after another battle flags jumped into the eyes of the fortress garrison, and then everyone's eyes widened, unbelievable, the Middle-earth army? How is this possible?

At this moment, a frightened cry suddenly sounded, "There is a fire, there is a fire, someone has set it on fire......"

Ahui Al, Chu and Tara turned around in shock, only to see the fire in the fort, the direction of grain and grass hoarding was even more blazing, the smoke was billowing out, and the situation suddenly got out of control.
