On the second day of September, the Great Wall of Yanbei, Yehuling Pass. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ*/

Join? The army Chen soldiers are closed, ready to go, and the garrison on the pass is very nervous, the beacon fire is burning, but they want to see through but can't expect a rescue, especially the Huaihuang town outside the pass, which is close at hand, is not a soldier, and always "looks on the sidelines". Huaihuang Town has its own reasons, the northern captives outside the fortress are barbaric and fierce, extremely vicious, the rebels in the Great Wall do not dare to go out of the fortress at all, and the exit is to seek their own death, so the situation on the front line of the Great Wall seems to be tense, but in fact there is no danger, the rebels are just bluffing, just to contain the Changcheng garrison, in order to help their main force in the hinterland of Yanbei to attack the city and burn and kill and plunder, so there is no need to worry.

Huaihuang Town's statement was quickly verified, and the rebel Chen Bing closed down and made an attack posture, but did not launch an attack for a long time, which was obviously a bluff. It happened that Wu Benlang ordered Zhao Shizhu 100,000 urgently, and the garrison of the pass must hold the fortress, and if it was difficult to resist the attack of the rebels, he would take the opportunity to open the gate and let the rebels go out of the fortress. In this way, the garrison army in the pass will have no worries about advancing and retreating, since the order of the peak can open the gate to drive away the thieves, why do you have to fight the rebels to the death? As soon as the rebels attack, I will open the gates.

However, Li Fengyun did not launch an attack for a long time, because most of the soldiers of the alliance did not know that the army was about to leave the fortress and was about to cross the desert to expedition to Anzhou, and they did not know anything about the mission and goal of this trip. The northern captives are good at riding and shooting, and there are countless war horses, and the strength is strong, and the alliance army is all infantry, there is no formed horse army, and there is no experience in fighting outside the fortress, and there is a certain gap in the comparison of combat power between the two sides.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army to the greatest extent and build up morale, Li Fengyun asked the commanders and deputy commanders of all armies to summon middle- and lower-level officers from the government, regiments, brigades, and teams to give a detailed explanation of the tasks and objectives of the army's out-of-the-city operations. The mission of this operation is to burn, kill, and plunder outside the fortress, confuse the situation outside the fortress, and find an opportunity to inflict heavy losses on the northern captives, and the goal is to survive the alliance.

The reason is very simple, if the alliance is trapped in the Flying Fox, it will soon be surrounded and suppressed by all the Weifu armies from all sides, even if it persists this winter, what will happen next spring? About 200,000 soldiers and civilians of the alliance have to eat, drink and live, and the food crisis always exists, how to solve the stomach problem?

The opportunity to solve the problem was the Civil War.

If you don't reach the border of the northern frontier, you can't feel the tense atmosphere of the Civil War that will break out at any time, and you can't feel the true reliability of the alliance's future way out in the Civil War, so for a long time, only the top level of the alliance can really understand Li Fengyun's plan to go north, and the middle and lower levels of the alliance don't know anything about the secret behind the plan to go north. Before they were full of questions, this spring the alliance was still fighting in Qilu, but in the summer it went to the Central Plains to loot the Tongji Canal, and in the middle of summer, it was even more into the eastern capital, followed by a thousand miles of battle, and in the autumn in the north of Hebei to attack the city and pull out the village, and even crossed the Taihang Mountain into the northern border of Yan, and now it is late autumn, but the army is going north to the Great Wall, to fight out of the fortress, around such a big circle, running thousands of miles, all said to survive, so how to survive? Where can I survive? When will you survive the night and see the sun tomorrow?

Now there is finally an answer.

The Civil War is a huge crisis that can be seen in reality, and if this war breaks out, the current situation of Middle-earth is at a disadvantage, and there is no certainty of winning this war, for this reason, Middle-earth must unite all the forces that can be united, and must quickly consolidate and strengthen the forces of the Northern Xinjiang Suppression, so the alliance army that has just entered Yanbei has become the target of the imperial court's appeasement. However, if the alliance accepts the appeasement of the imperial court now, it will definitely be unprofitable, and the heroes of the alliance are even in danger of being killed by the imperial court, so in order to win the best future for everyone in the alliance, the alliance can only refuse the appeasement of the imperial court now, and do its best to develop and grow, so as to defend the country after the outbreak of the Civil War, establish meritorious deeds, and exchange meritorious deeds for the best future. And the imperial court because of the fear that the encirclement and suppression alliance will lead to the deterioration of the situation in northern Xinjiang, to give the northern captives an opportunity, but also had to temporarily compromise, tacit cooperation in exchange for the stability of the situation in northern Xinjiang, to join hands to fight the northern captives to consolidate and strengthen the northern Xinjiang suppression, and so that after the war comes, the imperial court in order to win the war, will definitely appease the alliance with the best conditions, so that the alliance will be profitable, once the war is won, the alliance establishes meritorious achievements, and the alliance will definitely win a better future.

Therefore, today's alliance is fighting in order to strive for a better future tomorrow.

The "big pie" has been drawn, but whether it can satisfy hunger and inspire morale depends on the actual situation and whether the alliance has the conditions for development and growth.

The reality is that the alliance is out of the fortress to fight, behind the support of the Yanbei town garrison army, with the support of the king of Qi, as well as the continuous supply of grain and grass weapons provided by the Zhuojun Garrison Mansion, in addition, the alliance army left behind in the Flying Fox will not be surrounded and suppressed by the Weifu army on all sides, in short, the fate of the alliance is in the hands of the alliance soldiers themselves, as long as the alliance army persists outside the fortress, it affects and even changes the situation outside the fortress, consolidates and strengthens the northern Xinjiang garrison, increases the advantage of Middle-earth in the confrontation between the north and the south, and helps Middle-earth win the war. then the alliance will be able to win a better future for itself.

However, the risk of fighting with the Beiyu is huge, and there is a future only if there is a life, if the life is gone, what is the meaning of the future? This boils down to the specific deployment of the operation out of the fortress, and how the alliance army will fight against the northern captives after leaving the fortress. Li Fengyun made a concise explanation of this, there are a large number of horse thieves and thieves outside the Saiwai, in groups of three or five, burning, killing and plundering, all evil, and after the alliance is out of the Saiwai, it is the largest group of thieves outside the Saiwai, tens of thousands of thieves, whose strength is equivalent to the combined army of hundreds of tribes outside the Saiwai, such a strong strength, can be called the king and hegemonic there. If the Northern Captives want to defeat the Alliance, they must assemble a considerable number of tribal armies, but this takes time, and with this time as a buffer, the Alliance has long since withdrawn to the front line of the Great Wall, so that the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy retreats and I advance, guerrilla warfare, continuous attrition and exhaustion of the Northern Captives, and continues to confuse the situation outside the Saiwai, and in the long run, the situation will inevitably be beneficial to the Alliance.

Although he was willing to be the "knife" of the imperial court and competed with the northern captives, because of the secret support of the imperial court, the alliance won the opportunity for itself to develop and grow, and could grow up rapidly in the difficult environment of the expedition outside the Sai, and lay a solid foundation for striving for a better future. Of course, there are many thorns on the way forward, and the process of success is also full of difficulties, so the officers and men of the alliance must establish the belief that they will win, must unite as one, unite as one, and must have the courage to fight against the water.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Li Fengyun "temporarily crammed" and conveyed the reason and objectives of the battle to the allied soldiers at the foot of the Great Wall, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts to find Hu Jia to find out the latest news outside the fortress. In addition, this move is also to contain the garrison of Changcheng Town, so as to ensure the safety of the subsequent army going north. The follow-up army did not reach the front line of the Great Wall, and did not form a trend of echoing with the Xuanfeng army, Li Fengyun would never go out alone, so as not to fall short by others' plots.

On the second day of the ninth month, Xiahou Zhe, the head of the alliance, led the first, second and fifth armies of the alliance to Daning City and arrived at the front line of the Great Wall. In order to meet Li Zixiong and the follow-up army going north, Xiahou Zhe slowed down the march according to the agreement, and while attacking the Great Wall passes on the line of Daning and Xiaoning, he urgently reported to Li Fengyun and asked for the time of leaving the fortress.

At the same time, Zhou Zhong, the commander of the Right Route Army, led the Feather Cavalry Army of Laiyuan and Yue Gao's Third Army of the Alliance, and was rapidly heading north along Yuyanshui and rushing towards the Great Wall.

In the afternoon of the same day, after the Fourth Army of the Alliance was withdrawn from Quang Ninh, Hai Dongqing, the commander of the Alliance, and under the response of Han Shige, the commander of the Leopard Cavalry, he joined Li Zixiong at Jimingjin and began to cross the river to the north.

In the afternoon of the same day, the king of Qi ordered outside the city of Xialuo, and the eagles did not stop, followed the rebels, and quickly pursued and killed.

The situation in Yanbei followed the order of the King of Qi, and the roaring "storm" immediately roared away in the direction of the Great Wall.

On the afternoon of the second day of the ninth lunar month, Wu Benlang drove Zhao Shizhu to Xiaoning City, and received news from the defenders of Yehuling Pass.

Zhao Shizhu was clear about the current situation, and knew that the white-haired thief would not get out of the jam easily, unless he received an order from the King of Qi and had the temptation of interests that could not be refused, the white-haired thief would definitely not take a risk. It's just that now the king of Qi is still on the way north to the Great Wall, and after arriving in Guangning, he has to fight wits and courage with the Yin Shishi, and force the Zhuojun Left-behind Mansion to continue to supply him with grain, grass and weapons by extraordinary means, which obviously takes a certain amount of time, but the beacon fire of the Great Wall has been lit for several days, and the news will soon reach the ears of the Turks. It is possible that the secrets of the Stay-behind Mansion and even the secrets of the palace will be leaked, and it is very likely that the Turks will be based on these? The limited secrets discovered deduced Middle-earth's "murder plan with a knife", so they took precautions in advance, and even attacked Huaihuang and its surrounding areas with the help of the power of horse thieves and bandits outside the Saiwai, so as to pose a threat to the defense line of the Great Wall.

If you want to seize the opportunity, you must drive the rebels out of the fortress as quickly as possible, forcing the white-haired thief and Li Zixiong to seize every opportunity to attack the northern captives in order to survive. Zhao Shizhu did not hesitate, and immediately sent an urgent order to the Yehuling Pass, regardless of whether the rebels launched an attack on the pass, the pass garrison army must immediately open the gate after receiving this order from him, and let the rebels cross the Great Wall and go north to the fortress.

Then Zhao Shizhu considered that the garrison of the pass might misunderstand his order, so after weighing the pros and cons, he resolutely made a bold decision, if the rebels entered the pass, there were signs of seizing and controlling the pass, then the garrison immediately abandoned the pass, retreated to the Taoshan Pass on the west side of Yehuling, and gave up the Yehuling Pass.

At dusk on the second day of the first month of September, at the Yehuling Pass, the soldiers of the alliance saw an incredible scene.
