&1t;h3 css="read_tit">Chapter 201 (2)&1t;/h3>

"General, ten miles ahead is Hou Cheng. ”

From the Liaoshui ferry to Houcheng is only more than two hundred miles, because of the Liaodong army strong wall clear field, the villages along the way are already empty, Zhao Yun's troops are all cavalry, the march is amazingly fast, since yesterday Shen Shi Zhengpai, Mao has not arrived at the outskirts of Houcheng, a local guide who has led the way to know the matter.

"All the army stopped, and brought torches. ”

Hearing the guide's words, Zhao Yun immediately remembered the little tip given by Pang Tong before, and he didn't dare to take it lightly, so he gave the order, and a personal guard who followed him quickly agreed to the promise, and then rushed to Zhao Yun's side with a torch in his hand.

"Pass the order, each of the whole army will light a torch, and the distance between each horse will be increased to two horses, and the middle will pass through the east of Houcheng, and continue north along Shenshui!"

Zhao Yun used a dagger to pick up the fire paint on the brocade bag and put it on the stitches, took out a folded piece of paper from it, spread it out, and passed it carefully by the light of the torch, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and then after pondering for a while, he finally decided to act according to the plan said on the paper.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack ......"

Eight thousand iron cavalry is not a small number, and after opening the distance between the horses, in the dark night, at first glance, the soldiers and horses are obviously more than doubled, such a large-scale cavalry appeared, the momentum can not be said to be huge, the defender sentry who was originally sleepy at the head of the city of Houcheng was immediately alarmed, and in an instant, the sound of urgent shouts and horns sounded wildly.

"What's going on? Come on, hurry, go check it out!"

It was early in the morning, Hou Cheng guard Xu Fei was originally sleeping sweetly with his concubine in his arms, and when he heard the terrible horn sound non-stop, he was immediately woken up, and he couldn't take care of his armor, and pushed away the frightened concubine in his arms, and jumped out of the main room in three steps and two steps.

"Report, General, no, the Youzhou thief army is killing in a big way, and it is passing through the east gate and going all the way to the north. ”

The family who rushed to inquire about the situation had not yet returned, and a rotating military marquis had already rushed to the city guard mansion and sent the enemy information to Xu Fei.

"What? How many thieves are there? Who led the army?"

Hearing the Youzhou army's large-scale killing, Xu Fei's legs and stomach couldn't help but be soft, no side, Houcheng is just a small city, located in the plain, there is no danger to rely on, there are only 3,000 defenders in the city, I didn't see Yangyi holding more than 10,000 troops can not stop the offensive of the Youzhou army, only one day to end up defeated and killed, Xu Fei obviously does not think that he can be stronger than Yangyi.

"Back to the general's words, the night is too dark to see the specific size of the thief army, however, according to the torches in his army, there are at least 20,000 horsemen. ”

Hearing Xu Fei's question, the rotating military marquis did not dare to delay it slightly, and hurriedly reported the estimated size of the Youzhou cavalry.

"Twenty thousand? this, this ......"

As soon as he heard that the Youzhou Iron Cavalry heading north had 20,000 horses, Xu Feidang was stunned and stunned for a long time, but he couldn't say a complete sentence.

"General Xu, the thief army must be going to attack General Zhao Chu's headquarters this time, you see ......"

The rotating military marquis who came to pay tribute was a little bold, and when he saw that his master was panicked there, he obviously couldn't see it, so he immediately tried to make a half-cut of words.

"It's too late, hurry, pass the order, the whole army will assemble immediately, go to the city to prepare for battle, no one is allowed to go out of the city without the order of the general, and those who violate the order will be killed!"

Xu Fei was obviously not optimistic about the prospects of the 25,000 miscellaneous troops under Zhao Chu's department, and he didn't plan to go out of the city to rescue at all, and he didn't even want to inform Zhao Chu, he just wanted to protect himself first, and then make a decision after he found out the surrounding enemy situation.

"No!"

There is a lesson from the Youzhou army to break through the dangerous city in one day, not to mention that Xu Fei is not optimistic about Gongsun Du's victory, most of the soldiers under the head are actually like this, because of this, for Xu Fei's self-preservation strategy, the military marquis who came to pay tribute will not have much objection, and then bowed down and went as promised, not long after, then listened to the sound of the horn in the city, a large number of soldiers rushed out of the military camp in a panic, and rushed to the city on all sides......

"Enemy attack, enemy attack ......"

At three o'clock, the sun had risen three poles high, and at the Liaodong Army camp forty miles away from Houcheng, Zhao Chu's headquarters was busy dismantling the tent after having breakfast in a hurry. Fences and other things, ready to take advantage of the good time when the sun has just risen to Hou Cheng, but unexpectedly, at such a busy time, a low hill in the distance suddenly raised a large puff of smoke and dust, at first, the sentries on duty did not care much, thinking that this may be Hou Cheng's soldiers and horses to come to greet, but when I saw a large number of cavalry rushing out from behind the mountain, under the banner of the Youzhou Army, all the sentries on duty suddenly panicked, and the roar of urgency suddenly sounded.

"Damn, quickly, all departments will assemble immediately, line up and prepare for war!"

At that time, when the whole army was busy packing up, as the chief general of the first army, Zhao Chu didn't need to do such a stupid job, and was still unhurriedly using his sumptuous breakfast, but unexpectedly, a basket of steamed buns had not been used up, and he heard the emergency in the front camp in an uproar, and he panicked, hurriedly dropped the half-eaten buns, jumped up, and turned on the horse's back with a bone, and only looked at the smoke and dust in the south, and his face turned white in an instant.

It's easy to say, it's just two words, but it's just a matter of touching the skin up and down, but if the scattered army wants to complete the assembly, it is not so simple, not to mention the complex composition of Zhao Chu's department, which not only has the garrison troops of the cities in the northeast of Liaoning, such as Xuansu and Xincheng, but also has a lot of eunuchs who accompany the expedition. The tribal soldiers of the Khitan and other tribes are nominally under the unified command of Zhao Chu, but in fact, the whole army is just a plate of scattered sand, if it is in normal times, with Zhao Chu's strict orders, the departments can still barely act according to the order, but when the Youzhou army is killing on a large scale, the whole army has long panicked, and there are very few people who can really hear the order.

"The whole army is assaulted, and those who do not surrender will be killed!"

Zhao Yun's troops are all cavalry, even if they come from a long journey, their physical strength and horsepower are not immune to some effects, but the degree of charge is still amazing, and before the Liaodong Army can recover from the horror of the sudden attack, Zhao Yun has already led his troops to kill like a whirlwind......
