There is still a long way to go from the border of Xiqi to the capital.

These battles are all won but not defeated, time is tight, the task is heavy, and there are many dangers.

However, for this long-distance attack, no one present objected, and General Nan Ke immediately said: "If Lao Huyan is still alive, Xiqi will not be easy; As soon as he died, Hu Yanzhao was busy taking power, and now Xiqian must be in chaos, we will arrive in seven days, and we will definitely be able to catch them off guard. Hey, the capital of Xiqi is still close to the western front, which is convenient for us to harvest. I remember that in the past, Lao Huyan wanted to move the capital to the east, but the ministers objected, and finally had to give up. 「

Zhong Shengguang planted a small flag on the sand table: "General Nan Ke has finished talking about the enemy's disadvantages, let's talk about their advantages."

The crowd discussed together, and after talking about the distribution of troops and the characteristics of generals in Xiqi, they then discussed the choice of the attack route, the order of the attack, and then the defense tasks around Panlong City during the dispatch of troops......

Wen Daolun also focused on the analysis of the personality and temperament characteristics of Hu Yanzhao, that is, the future monarch of Xiqi. After all, this is the real opponent of Panlong City.

Finally, they even talked about the weather in Xiqi in the next few days.

He Lingchuan shivered directly when he heard General Hong talk about waving Sichuan coins at the meeting.

History is finally back on his familiar track!

He had heard that Panlong City was attacking the small country of Xiqi in the east, but when it came to why and how to fight, future generations did not understand, only that this war came without warning.

Now, he's about to see it from the perspective of an eyewitness.

After listening to his relay, everyone in the Broken Knife Squad was eager to try, and Arlo also nodded and said, "The Jinxi Corridor is too dangerous, and the lives of millions of people cannot be pinned on the mercy of the enemy. It's still the road that I have laid down by myself, and it is the most comfortable to walk."

He Lingchuan smiled, "That's exactly the truth. We are only an advance team, and I estimate that before the army is launched, Lord Zhong will inform the whole city and make these benefits and disadvantages clear. 「

"The Huyan family built the Xiqi Kingdom, and there were originally a number of fierce generals, and with the help of the Baling Kingdom, it really blocked our way back to the east. But their luck is not good, in the past ten years, the veteran stars have fallen one after another, and the newcomers are not enough to take the lead alone, and the national strength is gradually weakening. Now that Lao Huyan is dead, it is a God-given opportunity, why not take it? 「

The door panel interjected: "Oh, you don't need to talk so much, as long as Lord Zhong says that we are going to fight Xiqiang, it must be cheered and strongly supported by the whole city!"

Everyone laughed.

Hu Min suddenly asked the new teammates, "Lao Yu, tell me about your skills?"

"Me?" Lao Yu touched his head, a little shy, "I don't have any other skills, just to be able to get close to beasts and monsters and communicate with them well."

"Beast Rider?" Wicker snorted, "It's rare."

In this way of practice, talent is more important than diligence. Otherwise, you are a person with no affinity, no matter how much you smirk, strange beasts will not wait to see you.

Lao Yu snorted: "I am usually stationed on the plateau, and this time I was transferred back by General Red to carry out a mission, and I would like to ask you for more advice."

......

A few hours later.

The western mountainous area of Xiqi, Longyu Pass.

It was getting late, and the Xiqi military camp was cooking in a pot, and the aroma wafted all the way to the top of the door wall.

The soldier in charge of the lookout guard swallowed his saliva and began to calculate the time of the changing of the guard.

"I heard that there is a wild boar today, a big pig of three or four hundred catties, when will we go down to eat?"

Even though it's early summer, it's still cool at night in the mountains.

"The two Diao Mao who changed shifts must have eaten and drunk enough below before coming up, and they have eaten all the good meat."

"Why don't we go straight down? Grab two pieces of meat first. 「

The sentry hesitated, "Isn't that okay? In case it is discovered..."

"It's past the changing of the guard, and those two tricksters are not on time!" The other was indignant, "If you want to punish them, you will punish them. Oh, I see blood sausages! Who knows how to fill a sausage so well? 「

The sound of swallowing saliva immediately became louder.

The few people on the wall couldn't hold back any longer, three steps

The two jumped down and grabbed the meat to eat.

As soon as the meat in the pot is cooked, the ribs and loins must have been sent to the governor's tent, and the rest depends on who the husband has a better relationship with.

Sure enough, they were not discovered.

Seeing that the meat was leaving the pot quickly, the queue was secretly anxious.

Finally, it was their turn: "Blood sausage, blood sausage, blood sausage!"

"What do you want, I want pig's trotters!"

The man in charge of giving the meat smiled and didn't smile, and gave their blood sausage close to the knot, and the buddy who longed for the pig's trotters was given a piece of backbone.

Eight points of bone and two points of meat.

"Feed this meat is too little."

The guy glared: "It's good to give it, get out, don't get in the way of the people behind!"

The men walked away in a huff, but were happy again when they sat down to nibble on the meat.

It's so fragrant, they haven't eaten meat for half a month.

What's more, this is fresh meat, fresh pork freshly slaughtered in the afternoon!

"I heard that the monarch Xinxue, the nobles in the capital also want to be vegetarian for three days."

"Really?" The man who gnawed on the big bone was confused, "That's not as comfortable as we eat."

"You are a pig rouge, can the powerful have our big-headed soldiers eat poorly?" The third person sneered, "I heard that they all have small kitchens at home, and they get up in the middle of the night to open a small stove for them. Big pig's trotters are eaten as much as you like, and blood sausages are also eaten as much as you like! 「

"Okay, okay, hurry up and eat, hurry up after eating." The first one was eating blood sausage, which was too small, and he was smacking his mouth in three or two, "Don't let the changing of the guard find out that we are skipping work. When the time comes, he will be hit five times. 「

They finished eating quickly, licked all the bowls, and were about to touch their guns to go to work, when they suddenly heard a "boom" behind them———

The big guys heard it, and when they turned around, they were stunned.

On the beacon tower, the flames suddenly burst into flames!

And it's still an outrageous four-beacon burst. This is the specification that is only set off when the enemy is attacking aggressively.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" I don't know who shouted hoarsely, and the whole camp was suddenly in chaos, and the whistles and gongs kept ringing.

Many soldiers still have rice bowls in their hands, and their first reaction is not to throw down the bowl to pick up weapons, but to take the opportunity to take a few more bites.

Such a fragrant wild boar, how much waste if you don't eat it?

Which enemies who kill dry knives come to attack when they don't choose everyone to eat meat?

The Dragon's Throat guard gave up the meat in the bowl and strode out, "Sentinel, come down and report!"

The sentry didn't raise the alarm, so why did the beacon set fire on fire?

Countless people's eyes brushed the ground and focused on the city wall of the pass.

But it was empty, and there was not a single figure.

The three sentinels haven't gone up yet.

"What's going on up there!" The guard was taken aback, thinking that the three sentinels had been killed, and the opponent was powerful!

He was also very nervous: "All hands are ready for battle! Send someone up again, quick! 「

Dragon's Throat Gang is the first checkpoint of the Western Kingdom in the west, facing the pressure of Panlong City. Because the Xiqi Kingdom is a new country that was separated from the Xiluo Kingdom not long ago, the relationship between Panlong City and it is not very good.

The name of the Panlong Army is resounding, and it is a great pressure on the defenders here, although they have never come to attack.

But the guards instantly linked the king's new death to the enemy's invasion.

Is the other party trying to take advantage of the situation?

At this moment, a few people pushed the three sentries over: "They are not dead, they just sneaked down to eat meat!"

In the light of the fire shining from the beacon tower, the three of them trembled.

The guards were furious.

The soldiers who climbed the wall looked out over the mountains for a long time before leaning down and shouting, "It's all right. It's a false positive! 「

Is it a false positive?

The guard was skeptical.

It is still possible that the sentinel has a false alarm, how can this beacon be ignited by mistake?

Who's going to throw tinder into that?

The guard had no choice but to hurry: "Extinguish the beacon, extinguish it!"

Gentlemen

The soldiers rushed to extinguish the fire.

The problem is that this beacon is specially designed, and even the oil is specially made, and once lit, it becomes a raging fire, but it is extremely difficult to extinguish.

This is designed to prevent the enemy from quickly extinguishing the beacon and causing the signal to not be transmitted.

The defender could only find a magician, stop the scorching mountain wind, and then order the soldiers to put bags of sand placed behind the gate and press it against the beacon. Because the four beacon stoves were lit, the fire was particularly vigorous, and it took thirteen or fourteen times back and forth before the fire gradually went out.

During this time, the sentry pointed to the Cambodian side and said, "The beacon fire of Longji Pass has also been lit."

The meaning of the beacon fire connection is that the dragon's throat post is the first stick, and as long as the beacon fire is lit here, every beacon tower to the east will be ignited immediately.

Here is the four beacons, and the four beacons are transmitted to the east, and there can be no mistake at all.

Out of Longji Pass, Xiqi is almost all plains, and a few beacon towers will be passed to the capital.

The guard's heart was cold, so he had to find someone to fly to the national capital, and the words were a false alarm.

Of course, how can a galloping horse spread a beacon fire fast? Not to mention the rugged mountain roads.

Only half an hour later, the news of the large-scale attack of the western enemy reached the palace of the king of Xiqi. Hu Yanzhao, the prince who had not yet ascended the throne, woke up and hurriedly ordered the whole army to meet the battle.

Left and right: "I haven't heard the sound of cannons."

According to the regulations, one beacon and one cannon, four beacons and four cannons, these are all rules. After the beacon fire is lit, the Guantai should also be followed by the firing of cannons, so as to avoid misfiring false alarms and misleading decision-making.

But the beacon tower has not been lit for many years, and no one knows the situation of Longzhi Gang. The royal court still prepared overnight and sent people to the west to inspect.

It wasn't until this afternoon that the news of Longyugang finally came:

False positives.

The cause is unknown and is under investigation.

Hu Yanzhao didn't fight in one place.

I am already very tired of keeping a wake for my father during the day, and I have to be awakened when I sleep at night, and I will stay until dawn!

Check, check!

Punishment, severe punishment!

Originally, the punishment for the late issuance and false alarm of the beacon tower was extremely severe.

In the end, the dragon throat gang did not find out the reason, so he could only arrest the unlucky sentry top tank, so the three people were beheaded.

The prince also wanted to chop off the generals guarding the pass, but the ministers pleaded, so they changed to 30 boards and demoted one level.

The thirty boards are not easy to hold, although they were punished at the Dragon's Throat Pass, but the prince made a special trip to send a palace envoy to supervise on the side, and the soldiers who carried out the punishment did not dare to take it lightly. After taking these thirty boards, the guard felt that half of his soul had flown away, and he could only rest in bed.
