Chapter 676: Beacon Fire

"On both sides of the city wall, continue to arrange defenses."

"The guards need to have two batches of light and dark, prepare more arrows, and once there is a situation, immediately warn."

"Someone will arrange a shift for the second half of the night, and keep an eye on the outside for me!"

Said again.

Two groups of guards are prepared, even if the bright ones are killed again, the ones hiding in the shadows can immediately warn and shoot arrows to prevent the enemy from climbing the Great Wall to raid.

After making various arrangements, he stood in front of the torches, looking at the bloodstains on the ground, and the retreating Xianbei army.

By this time, it was already evening.

"There shouldn't be any more assaults tonight."

"In Xianbei, there must be a high finger, they can bring so many firearms, that master is not simple!"

"Who's pointing the way?"

He muttered to himself.

None of them have ever left the pass gate, they have not attacked Budugen, and they don't know who is in the Xianbei camp, and the shadow people can't get close to the past.

The defense of the Xianbei camp is a bit strong, and as long as you get a little closer, you may be discovered.

If it's just Budugen who brings the troops, the Xianbei people are not good at attacking the city, and they may be able to fight back and overturn the big camp of Budugen, but the master who pointed out behind him changed the disadvantage of the Xianbei people.

The troops recruited are not as good as the Xianbei people, and they have a slight advantage in firepower, but they are no longer completely and absolutely superior, and he can only defend Yanmen Pass, and he has no confidence to fight back.

Next, wait for Yang Zhao's support.

"I don't know what the situation is in the clouds and Jiuyuan."

I was thinking worriedly.

As the night grew darker and darker, he arranged for the soldiers to take turns to keep watch, and went down to rest for the time being.

——

A few days later.

in the cloud.

Pan Feng was arranged by Yang Zhao to guard the border of Hetao, and was originally guarded with Li Tong, but Li Tong was transferred away by Yang Zhao some time ago, and at the same time, the 50,000 garrisons of Hetao were also transferred.

At present, there are only 20,000 people left in the Hetao.

They are stationed in Yunzhong and Jiuyuan, just on the edge of the Great Wall, at the southern foot of Yin Mountain.

Yang Zhao also didn't think that the Xianbei people would raise troops at this time, and originally used trade to weaken the Xianbei people and stabilize the Xianbei people, thinking that there was no threat for the time being, so he transferred troops from Hetao with confidence.

The current situation is beyond the expectations of all of them.

Xianbei sent troops south, and Pan Feng, who was stationed in the Hetao, had to stand up, strengthen the north of the Hetao, all the defenses, and at the same time ask Guanzhong for support, Zhong Xuan sent 20,000 garrisons in Guanzhong to the north.

The 20,000 men were quickly dispatched by him to various strongholds.

and the 20,000 people in the Hetao, cooperating with each other, preparing to meet Xianbei, fortunately, until now, there is no way to find out the north of the Hetao, there is a movement of the Xianbei people, but this lucky idea was quickly broken.

"General, the shadow has sent an urgent military intelligence."

A lieutenant, with a copy of military information, hurriedly came in to find Pan Feng.

"Is it possible that the Xianbei people are coming to attack the clouds?"

After reading this information, Pan Feng still sent it by the people, obviously discovering some movements of the Xianbei people, and immediately shouted: "All the garrisons in the clouds, all assemble, prepare for defense, enter a state of combat readiness, and at the same time send an order to Jiuyuan, not to relax." ”

He personally stayed in the clouds, and on Jiuyuan's side, a deputy general of his subordinates was in charge.

Coming from Yanmen, the nearest is in the clouds.

According to the preconceived idea, if the Xianbei people come to raid, they will fight first, and it may be in the clouds.

Pan Feng and the others had to be vigilant, the alert level in the army was raised by several grades, the whole army did a good job of defense, the bullets were loaded, and the shells were also ready.

Just wait for the Xianbei people to arrive.

But after waiting for several days, there was no movement in the north of the clouds.

——

The two brothers, Tuoba Liwei and Tuoba Lixiong, received an order from Budugen to attack the Hetao.

At this time, they led the elite of the Tuoba Department to the vicinity of Yin Mountain.

However, instead of attacking immediately, they waited for their time in Yinshan.

Their humble scouts had already been sent out to find out the movements of the Hetao.

"In the clouds and Jiuyuan, the defenses are all strengthened."

"Mr. Sima is right, if we attack Yanmen, this side of the Hetao will definitely not relax, and the defense in the clouds is even worse."

Tuoba Liwei said.

Tuoba Lixiong said: "According to Mr. Sima's plan, Yunzhong's defense is the strongest, let's give up the nearest Yunzhong first, attack Jiuyuan County, take the Han people by surprise, and then turn to Yunzhong." ”

Tuoba Li said slightly: "Jiuyuan is weak, let's fight Jiuyuan first, wait for the clouds to be weak, and then hit the clouds, this is the plan given by Mr. Sima." ”

They were convinced by Sima Yi in their hearts, and said: "I will fight Jiuyuan first, and when the garrison in the clouds supports Jiuyuan, you will send troops to fight in the clouds, cooperate with each other, and it is not difficult to go deep into the Hetao!" ”

"Good!"

Tuoba felt that there was no problem, and the plan was feasible.

So, they divided their troops in Yinshan.

Tuoba Liwei went to the north of Jiuyuan, and the surrendered city was killed, and Tuoba Lixiong waited for the opportunity to make a move near the clouds.

In the north of the surrendered city, there are many beacon towers built by Yang Zhao when he first broke out of the Hetao, and on one beacon tower, five soldiers left behind were arranged to pay attention to the situation in the grassland in the north.

The main purpose is to prevent the Xianbei people from suddenly going south, so that the signal can be transmitted as soon as possible.

Tuoba Liwei appeared, did not avoid the beacon tower, and deliberately appeared in front of the beacon tower.

On a beacon tower in the northernmost part, three of the five soldiers were resting and two were standing guard, and at this time, I saw that smoke and dust seemed to be rising from the north, and a large army was approaching.

"It's not good, the Xianbei people are here."

One of the soldiers standing guard exclaimed.

One of the three resting soldiers jumped up and looked north at the same time.

Sure enough, you can see the smoke and dust raised by the march of the army.

The second soldier shouted, "Light the beacon!" ”

They threw firewood and horse manure together at the same time, and then set fire to it, and a thick cloud of smoke rushed directly into the sky.

Further south, there is also a beacon tower.

The soldier standing guard was boredly counting the vultures flying in the sky, and suddenly there was a flower in front of him, as if he saw something appear, and when he looked at it, it was a black smoke rising into the sky.

"That's ...... Balefire! ”

"The beacon fire in the north is burning."

"The enemy is coming, the Xianbei people are coming, quickly light the beacon!"

The soldier shouted, and immediately brought in horse manure and other things, and lit a beacon fire.

Not long after, black smoke rushed into the sky.

The other beacons were lit one after another, and after the soldiers spread the news, they hurriedly left the beacon tower and ran back to the Great Wall in the south for safety.

The Great Wall also has a beacon tower, only to see the black smoke in the north, rising to the sky, the guards of the Great Wall are in a hurry, and quickly light the beacon fire to deliver the news.

Streams of black smoke spread across the other beacons of the Great Wall.

is telling all the defenders that the enemy is coming, and these beacon fires can still extend from Jiuyuan all the way back to the clouds.
