The roar of the mountains and the tsunami gradually subsided.

Wang Gui hugged Wu Nian with a fist, pulled the reins of the horse, and led the heavily armored and heavy axe soldiers to leave the east first. After his soldiers and horses were finished, Wu Nian held the knife and strode down the wooden platform.

"General."

Liu Zhixing and Li Yong walked up together and bowed to Wu Nian.

"No more to say. You just have to believe that I can win. Wu Nian raised his right hand and waved it at them.

Then he squinted his eyes, walked to Liu Zhixing's side, and said in a low voice: "When I win, I will kill Chen Ning." ”

"Yes."

Liu Zhixing put his hands on his waist and bent down slightly.

Wu Nian nodded, turned around and opened his arms to give Li Yong a hug, then turned over on the horse, pulled the reins of the horse, and shouted.

"Drive!"

A banner with the word "Wu", as well as a large number of pro-soldiers, surrounded Wu Nian and Zhang Sheng, and slowly went to the east.

"We firmly believe. Those who can recover Liaodong and expel the Tartars. It must be the general. Liu Zhixing bent over, lowered his head to see off Wu Nian, and said secretly in his heart.

The same goes for Li Yong.

It wasn't until Wu Nian's army completely disappeared into the mountains that Li Yong straightened his waist and said to Liu Zhixing: "Liu Changshi, let's start recruiting and training recruits." ”

"Hmm." Liu Zhixing nodded, turned around and went back to the city with Li Yong.

At present, in the land of Nine Forts, only the two generals Liu Wu and Tie Niu are guarding, and the defense force is somewhat weak. And as the war continues, there will definitely be damage to the soldiers and horses ahead.

Recruit and train new recruits to replenish the losses of troops at the front.

Mobilize grain and grass to supply the front.

It's their job.

...........

Wu Nian's soldiers and horses went out of the East City Gate openly, and went to Dingxian in the east along the avenue, which seemed to be about to attack Dingxian, but in fact, they turned a corner in the middle, took the small road, and went to the northeast.

There is little snow this year, and the road conditions are okay.

Wu Nian's sixteen thousand-household soldiers and horses widened the distance slightly, lined up into a long dragon, and slowly walked forward.

Spies spread out to listen for any disturbances, lest they fall into an ambush.

After nearly a year of training, the soldiers were strong and strong, and although they wore heavy armor, they still walked on the ground when they climbed over mountains and mountains.

After a day and a half of travel, Wu Nian led his troops to the predetermined location.

A place called "Valley of Fire". Sixteen armies of a thousand households, centered on this valley of flames, were scattered on the surrounding mountains, or valleys, and hid.

It is like a leopard ready to ambush, waiting for the time to move.

In the heavily guarded camp, in the big tent of the Chinese army.

After the soldiers undressed Wu Nian, they bent down and retreated.

Wu Nian wrapped up a large coat, picked up a half-old map, sat in front of the fire, and held up the map to watch.

At present, the city defense of Yingqing and Guangyang is relatively weak. And the four Mengyuan households are not there.

The news that he was going to attack Dingxian had already passed through the mouth of Chen Ning and sent it to Zhang Bu.

If Zhang Bu decided to send troops to support Dingxian, then he would pass through the nearby main road.

This is a sound of attacking the east and the west, hitting the point and sending reinforcements. After the ambush is successful and the opponent's forces are eliminated, it will be much easier to capture the city.

At this time, two soldiers came in with an iron pot full of wine, and hung it on the stove to cook wine.

After getting it done, the pro-soldiers bent down in front of Wu Nian and retreated.

After a while, the aroma of wine fills the air.

"How many reinforcements will you send?" Wu Nian sneered, put down the map in his hand, raised his hands, and put them on the stove to roast the fire, waiting to eat and drink.

....

Night.

Around eight o'clock.

South of Jiangxian County. The torches burned vigorously, and many soldiers were either standing guard or patrolling the city, and the aura of slaughter soared into the sky, and the guard was very tight.

"Who?" Suddenly, one of the soldiers heard the movement and shouted to the city.

The rest of the soldiers moved, and the archers immediately drew the arrows from their quivers, bent their bows, and prepared to shoot.

"Brothers in the city, don't let your arrows go. I have important news to report to Zhang Wanhu. In the darkness, a figure shouted towards the city.

"Put down the hanging basket." The soldiers looked at each other suspiciously, until one of the centurions gave the order.

Zhang's house.

The mansion, which was very quiet, suddenly lit up with a lot of torches, and a large number of personal soldiers occupied the mansion, which was very solemn.

Zhang Bu was draped in a black coat, opened the door and walked out of the bedroom, and walked down the corridor to the hall and sat down.

His confidant Zhang Yu bent down and handed the wooden box to Zhang Bu.

"Have you confirmed?" Zhang Bu asked.

"It's true." Zhang Yu replied.

Zhang Bu nodded, solemnly stretched out his hand to take the wooden box, then opened it and took out the silk in it.

"Wu Nian has sent troops. Attack Dingxian. After Zhang Bu unfolded the silk and read the ten lines at a glance, he raised his head and said to Zhang Yu in a solemn tone.

"Do you want to send reinforcements?" Zhang Yu bent down and asked.

It is not unusual for Wu Nian to send troops. After the autumn harvest, this Liaodong tiger began to prepare for war.

It seems that it is not uncommon to send troops to Dingxian County.

Dingxian is a place where their defense is relatively weak.

"Let me think about it." Zhang Bu shook his head and raised his right hand.

Zhang Yu nodded, turned around and left the hall, holding the handle of the knife and waiting outside the door. Zhang Bu stood up, put the silk silk on the oil lamp and lit it, and then threw it on the ground, watching it turn to ashes.

Zhang Bu did not doubt this news.

Chen Ning is a meticulous work that he has placed in Beishan Fort for many days, and he is currently in a high position, and there has not been a single mistake.

But how to fight the war is a question.

Jin Huan Mountain took away half of the soldiers and horses of Mengyuan Wanhu.

The three cities they currently control. Jiang County, Ding County, Yuan County. The defenders of Dingxian County had four commanders, one of whom was the commander of Mengyuan.

Yuan County is the same configuration.

There are four Han commanders left, and three Mengyuan commanders are sitting in the base camp of Jiangxian County.

"How many people do I have to send over to block Wu Nian's attack?" Zhang Bu withdrew his gaze, sat on the Taishi chair, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

There were fewer reinforcements sent, and they couldn't stop Wu Nian.

If there are more reinforcements sent, then the city defense of Jiang County will be weak.

Jiang County is the base camp and cannot afford to lose.

Although it is certain that Wu Nian is going to attack Dingxian. But what if Wu Nian can't defeat Dingxian County, and then transfers troops and horses to attack Jiang County?

Flexibility is the characteristic of Wu Nian.

And relying on the city walls and garrisoning three county towns is his advantage.

"Someone. Go and invite Zhu Yong and Chen Ha'er, the two commanders of Mengyuan, and Zhao Gu and Lian Sheng. After pondering for a long time, Zhang Bu decided to send four thousand commanders to rescue Dingxian.

The commander of the Mengyuan and the Han commander are half each.

"Yes."

Zhang Yu, who was standing outside the door, answered, and immediately ordered four personal soldiers to go out and invite someone.
