In the night, Yanmen Pass was silent. The soldiers at the gate fell asleep with their weapons on their backs to back, and the sentries looked out of the city with their spears. In the distance outside the city, the brightly lit city that stretches for dozens of miles is the camp of more than 800,000 Xianbei soldiers.

Yanmen Pass has the bright moon on its head, and the steep mountains on both sides, and the endless grain fields behind it. Today's night is beautiful, but tomorrow will be the scene of bloody slaughter. The soldiers are ready to sacrifice, and as the Great General Market says, a true man deserves to die on the battlefield! Death, in fact, is not so terrible, for the sake of my beloved, for the sake of this beautiful land, I am willing, my brother is also willing to fall on the battlefield, shed blood, let the blood penetrate this beautiful land, then I will never be separated from this land!

Huang Zhong led a group of soldiers to patrol the city wall. He stopped, turned his head to look at the Xianbei army camp in the distance.

In the hall of the governance office, Zhang Lang was discussing strategy with Jia Xu.

Jia Xu pointed to the two Great Wall passes near Yulin in Shangjun County and Hequ in Xihe County, "The Xianbei people's partial division is now attacking these two passes!" The defenders of our army are more than 30,000 soldiers of the Eagle Yang Legion. Judging from the current situation, our army can resist it, but I estimate that the situation may change somewhat. ”

Zhang Lang asked: "What does Wenhe mean, is it possible for Kebi to divide his troops?" ”

Jia Xu nodded, and thought: "These days, the Xianbei people continue to storm Yanmen Pass, and it can be said that they have exhausted all means and strength!" However, he couldn't help but fail to attack Guancheng, but lost his troops and generals, especially today, the momentum of the Xianbei people was completely taken away by the general! A vicious battle, corpses are strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood flow, and the three Xianbei warriors will be beheaded by the general on the city wall! ”

Zhang Lang sighed, "Wen He, don't forget, our army's losses are also not small!" ”

Jia Xu smiled: "Even so, the Xianbei people are obviously a little timid. I guess Kobineng will be looking for a breakthrough elsewhere. And the breakthrough they chose was the two Great Wall passes that their subordinates just mentioned! ”

Zhang Lang pondered: "The 80,000 main forces of the War Bear Legion and the Blue Wolf Legion are being transferred to Shangjun and Xihe County, and they will arrive soon, especially the Blue Wolf Legion, which should be able to reach the position in the next two days." If the Xianbei people divide their troops now, we will have time, and they will not succeed! ”

Jia Xu said: "My lord, it is difficult to win blindly on defense, even if the enemy army finally retreats, our army will surely suffer heavy losses!" ”

Zhang Lang smiled and asked, "Wen He must have an idea, right?" ”

Jia Xu smiled, "My subordinates think of a plan, whether it is feasible or not, please ask the lord to consult in detail." ”

Zhang Lang scolded with a smile: "If you have something to say, don't sell it to me!" ”

Jia Xu clenched his fists and promised. Pointing to the Hequ Pass on the map, he said to Zhang Lang: "My plan is to concentrate all the cavalry on the Hequ Pass and defeat the Xianbei army outside the Hequ Pass by surprise. Then more than 200,000 cavalry Xianbei broke through, and here," Jia Xu pointed to Meiji City, "turn to the east and slam into Dingxiang County!" Before the Xianbei people could react, they seized Dingxiang in one go! ”

Zhang Lang understood, and said excitedly: "This plan is good!" The grain and grass of the Xianbei people and almost all the materials they plundered are now hoarded in Dingxiang County. As long as he succeeds in capturing Dingxiang and destroying his supplies, the Xianbei people will not be able to withdraw their troops even if they want to! This is the time of the bottom of the lake! Jia Xu smiled and nodded.

Zhang Lang said categorically: "I personally led the cavalry to attack!" ”

"No!" Jia Xu hurriedly stopped. Zhang Lang was a little surprised. Jia Xu explained: "My lord, the most important thing about whether this strategy can be successfully implemented is whether it can hide from the enemy. Although Kebi Neng and others are grassland barbarians, they are also deceitful. If they find that the lord is not closed at the Yanmen, they will definitely be suspicious, and this plan will be difficult to succeed! ”

Zhang Lang felt that what Jia Xu said made sense, and thought for a moment, "Then let Meng Qi take the role." Leading cavalry on long distances is his forte! ”

Jia Xu nodded, hugged his fists and said, "The lord is wise." However, Meng Qi must be specially reminded that he must withdraw immediately after his success, and he must not fall in love! Zhang Lang nodded. After returning to the bookcase, he sat down, picked up the brush and began to write.

……

At this moment, Wang Kai, his half-father and daughter, together with hundreds of people from the same village, came to the outside of Guangwu County, dozens of miles south of Yanmen Pass, together with the tide of refugees who came down from the north. Although it was late at night, the lights were bright outside Guangwu City, and countless bamboo and wood sheds were set up on both sides, and many officials and local people were busy preparing food for the refugees who had fled in the sheds, and the aroma of various things wafted in the air, which made Wang Kai and Wang Yi and their hundreds of refugees even more hungry.

At this time, a middle-aged woman rushed to everyone, looked at everyone, and greeted them very warmly: "Come on, come on, follow me." You must all be hungry. Everyone subconsciously followed her. Come to a bamboo hut. The middle-aged woman said, "You rest first, and the food will come up immediately." Then he left the bamboo shed and ran towards a temporary stove outside the bamboo shed.

Hundreds of villagers sat down one after another, and they all sat on the floor without stools, and they all felt very tired. A young man walked up to Wang Kaiwang's half-father and daughter and asked, "Uncle Wang, what should we do next?" All the blind dates looked at them, looking at their hopeful eyes, obviously hoping that Wang Kai, the leader, could give them an idea.

Wang Kai didn't know what to do next, but on the surface, he said calmly: "Don't worry, everyone, it will be fine." When the villagers saw Wang Kai say this, out of trust in him, the original worries disappeared.

Wang Yi asked Wang Kai in a low voice: "Father, what can you do?" ”

Wang Kai shook his head slightly.

Wang Yi thought about it: "The government will definitely not ignore us, I will go to them." Then he left the shed. Wang Kai didn't stop it, and he also hoped that the government would have an explanation.

……

Look back at Yanmen Pass. Just as Zhang Lang was writing a letter to Ma Chao, Yang Kun rushed in to report: "An urgent military report from the general Hequ. ”

Zhang Lang stopped writing, glanced at Jia Xu and saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes. Zhang Lang put down the brush and said to Yang Kun: "Let him come in." ”

Yang Kun said yes, ran down, and after a while, he led a bloodstained herald in with a dusty body. As soon as the herald saw Zhang Lang, he immediately knelt down and reported with his fists clenched: "General, our army has been completely annihilated, and the river meander has been lost!" ”
