In 182 A.D., the fourth year of Han Guanghe, September 23, Yinshi.

"Yu stopped marching, where is our army now!" Wei Jie grabbed the reins of his horse, stopped his horse, and looked at the plain from afar, and could see that under the slightly white sky, there was a dilapidated old city, although it was dilapidated, but in the clear air of the early morning, it exuded vitality.

"General Wei, in front of you is the county seat of the Liao Brigade of the Liaodong Army." A military commander, who was obviously a native of Northern Xinjiang, stepped forward and said to Wei Jie.

Wei Jie is a native of Hedong, he doesn't know much about the north, along the way, as long as he passes through any dangerous places, he will first ask the generals in the army, otherwise he will not easily march, he is very cautious, but the speed of the army has not fallen, and it only took one day to reach the county seat of the Liao team from Changli County, the distance is more than 100 miles, which is the speed of a rapid march.

"En" Wei Jie nodded, waved his hand and said: "Order, the Fourth Army surrounds the county seat of the Liao team, and after capturing the Liao team, it will march eastward, and the first, second and third armies will bypass the Liao team directly with General Ben, continue to advance eastward, and keep up with General Gao's footsteps!" ”

"Yes, the last general obeys!" A big man stepped out of the queue and shouted at Wei Jie, and after Wei Jie nodded, he left directly to lead the troops and horses of his headquarters to prepare for the siege. The commander of the Fourth Army is named Liu Lin, he is very brave and good at fighting, and has a unique set of siege and fortification, although the Liao team is a dilapidated old city, but in order to capture the Liao team in the shortest time, Wei Jie can only send Liu Lin out.

There are three army commanders under Wei Jie, including Wei Jie himself, who commands 110,000 soldiers and horses, and the Fourth Army has 10,000 soldiers and horses left in Changli, so Liu Lin's headquarters is not fully staffed, only 20,000, but it is absolutely enough for the Liao team county town where the troops are empty and the city is dilapidated.

"Chen Ye is a native of Liaodong, you are familiar with the terrain of Liaodong, and then our army has entered the hinterland of Liaodong, you lead 30,000 soldiers and horses in the headquarters to walk in front, and after another fifty miles, the three armies will rest for three hours." After Wei Jie waited for Liu Lin to leave, he said to a man who looked more gentle.

"General, the three armies are tired, should they rest first before marching?" The Sven man was Chen Ye, and he did not directly respond to the order, but put forward his own opinion, and said to Wei Jie.

"I can't rest, now our army is relying on a sharp spirit, if we stop marching, there is no half a day, it is absolutely difficult to ease up, or march directly." Wei Jie shook his head, glanced at the tired appearance of the soldiers behind him, and said with a sigh.

Not only are the soldiers tired, Wei Jie and other commanders are also very tired, riding on horses for a day in a row and marching rapidly, including Wei Jie, the inside of the long legs of the soldiers has been worn out, and even thickened, Wei Jie is not good at riding, and it is a big challenge to stick to this day.

"All right, the last general will obey." Seeing Wei Jie's helpless look, Chen also knew that what he was fighting for now was time, if the army rested for a while, it would be unrealistic at all, if you want to rest, you can, go to Xiangping City to rest.

"Enlighten the generals, there are many siege vehicles that cannot afford to travel long distances, and the body of the vehicles is seriously damaged, and they can no longer advance." A small colonel came to Wei Jie and the others three meters away, and said to Wei Jie and the others.

"What??" Wei Jie frowned, Xiangping is Gongsun Du's old nest, the city is high and strong, if there is no siege city, just relying on cloud ladders and other things, how can you attack Xiangping Zhizhi, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack?

"Hey, general, it seems that God wants our army to rest here, the last general's subordinates are not doing well, please punish the general." Wang Zheng, another military commander beside Chen Ye, shook his head with a wry smile and said to Wei Jie.

Wang Zheng's 30,000 troops were siege troops, and all siege ordnance was transported by Wang Zheng's men, and this rapid march was the most difficult for Wang Zheng's third army, not only to maintain the speed of the march, but also to ensure that the siege equipment would not be damaged due to the long journey.

"How long will it take to repair the damaged siege engine?" Wei Jie shook his head and asked Wang Zhengfa. Although Wei Jie is now a general in command, he does not understand the equipment of siege vehicles.

"More than one, less than half a day, siege vehicles are extremely cumbersome, and they are not so easy to repair." Wang Zheng frowned, and after thinking about it, he said to Wei Jie.

"No, it's too time-consuming, so let's do it, the Third Army will send some repair personnel to the Second Army to stay behind to repair the siege vehicles, and after the siege vehicles are repaired, they will directly help the Fourth Army to attack the city, capture the Liao team and then advance east together." Wei Jie shook his head, it was absolutely impossible to rest for half a day, and after thinking about it, he directly ordered.

"The last general obeys!" Wang Zheng nodded, there was nothing to disagree with, because this was already the best solution, and then hurriedly went down to transfer repair personnel under Wei Jie's instructions.

"Let's go, let's go" Wei Jie glanced at Wang Zheng's departing back, turned his head and said loudly.

=============

The county lieutenant in charge of the county guards of the Liao team was frightened when he heard that the county seat was surrounded by a large army, and he repeatedly asked whether the city gate was lost.

Fortunately, curfews were often implemented in ancient times, let alone wartime now? The county seat of the Liao team will generally close the city gate at the end of the day, prohibiting the people in the city from walking around at night, and will only open the city gate again after the second day of the second day to allow the people inside and outside the city to pass.

Unfortunately, Wei Jie's army has not yet come to Yin, well, now in September, the dawn is relatively early, the Yin hour is almost around five o'clock, and the captain who is generally responsible for guarding the city gate will open the city gate half an hour after the Yin hour, which is half past five o'clock, so when the Fourth Army surrounded the Liao team county, the Liao team county town was still closed.

"Lord County Lieutenant, you see, this besieging army is under the banner of a heaven-sent army." I saw a small colonel with a pale face at the city gate, and said to the county lieutenant who had just come to the city.

This county lieutenant is not an ordinary person, but Gongsun Du's uncle (side branch) Gongsun Yin, who is very prestigious in the Gongsun family, the Liao team is the gateway to the east and west of Liao, the position is very important, hand it over to others, Gongsun Du is not at ease, and Gongsun Yin was brave when he was young, and even did Gongsun Du's martial arts teacher, and Gongsun Du has a very good relationship.

The Liao team has 5,000 soldiers and horses, most of them are county soldiers, although they are not elite, but they are also young and strong soldiers, which is still drained of the troops of several counties in Xinchang in the south to get the soldiers and horses with great difficulty, although the Liao team county is dilapidated, but there are 5,000 soldiers and horses, for a while and a half, it is really not easy to take.

"Huh" Gongsun Yin nodded, looked at the Tianci army still camped under the city with a heavy expression, and asked as calmly as possible: "Who is the commander of the enemy army?" Did you hear clearly? ”

"Captain Qiyu, the villain doesn't know, but I can see that the banner is Liu, in the Tianci Army, except for the Shenhou, there seems to be no other general surnamed Liu." The little colonel said to Gongsun Yin.
