Along the way, the most dangerous thing must be the mark. Not only did he have to guide Zhu Su and his party at night, but he also had to take a small number of people and horses to the front to draw a map in advance during the day to find out whether there were traces of the infestation of the Liaodong Naha army and verify whether the path was deviated. At the end of the day, there are often less than two hours of rest.

But when Zhu Su saw him, Shao Biao was still bright-eyed and energetic. This made Zhu Su couldn't help but admire it in his heart: the brocade guard in the early Ming Dynasty was really the elite of the elite.

"Your Highness." Although Zhu Di and Zhu Fan were older, Shao Biao also knew that Zhu Su was the actual "leader" of the three brothers, so he came to Zhu Su and knelt down on one knee first. "According to investigation, there is still no trace of Naha's army ahead."

"According to the current itinerary, we should be able to reach Shanhaiguan by tomorrow."

"Still no traces?" Unlike the surprise voices of "It's finally here" on all sides, Zhu Di, who was beside Zhu Su, frowned with a somewhat complicated expression. Zhu Su said strangely: "Fourth brother, what's wrong?" ”

"No traces, isn't that good?"

"No, I'm just a little weird." Zhu Di gently rubbed his chin, which had grown a little stubble, and said while thinking: "It stands to reason that now that my Ming Northern Expedition has been defeated, Naha should be eyeing my Ming Dynasty." ”

"After all, after capturing Shanhaiguan, Naha's exit department can drive straight into Beiping from Liaodong. Even if the idea in his heart is that he is in a safe corner, he should also deploy heavy troops near the left side of Shanhaiguan to guard against me. ”

"In either case, the closer you get to Shanhaiguan, the more troops Naha should have. How can there be any reason why there is no trace of an army under the command of Naha along the way? ”

Zhu Su was stunned when he heard this, and then he frowned and thought about it. There was no strategist like Yao Guangxiao around to remind him, and he really ignored such a suspicious point: Naha's more than 200,000 soldiers and horses must be deployed on the front line of Shanhaiguan. It is impossible to hide all of them in the depths of Liaodong.

No matter how desolate Liaodong is, no matter how hidden the group is, and they can't meet soldiers and horses, then the hunters who go up the mountain to chop wood and hunt can always meet one or two, right?

But the truth is...... I have traveled all the way, and I have never even met a single figure.

I was worried all the way, but there was always no danger and the wind was calm.

"Could it be ......" Zhu Su frowned, thinking of a possibility.

"Look!"

Before Zhu Su could say the possibility, Zhu Fan pointed in the direction of the north and shouted. Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that on the mountain in the north in the distance, there were several black lone smokes, rising straight into the sky.

"Wolf smoke!" Chang Mao and Zhang He spoke in unison.

"This is the wolf smoke warning of my Ming army!" On Zhu Su's side, Chang Mao, who was sitting on the ground resting, immediately sat up with a solemn face. "These several clouds of smoke rise, indicating that a large number of foreign forces are coming. The surrounding Ming troops need to come to the aid immediately, otherwise they will be in danger of losing their land! ”

"Is this true?" Ru Taisu also stood up tremblingly, "Can you be sure that this is the wolf smoke that my Ming army ignited?" Can An know that this is not the wolf smoke of the Yuan people? ”

"It won't be Beiyuan." Shao Biao answered Ru Taisu's question. "Look at the place where the wolf smoke is lit, it is obvious that it is the beacon of the Great Wall."

"The Northern Yuan Dynasty didn't even repair the Great Wall, let alone light the wolf smoke according to the beacon."

"What's next?" Everyone's eyes looked at Zhu Su. At this time, Fang Cai's question had already been answered: it was obvious that the nearby Naha's troops had been mobilized to attack the Ming army, so they didn't find any trace of Naha's troops nearby.

If this is the case, this is the best chance to get out of danger: the enemy is too busy with the war to take care of them, so it is better to take this opportunity to speed up the march, enter Jizhen in one fell swoop, and break away from Liaodi!

"Old Fifth ......" Zhu Di looked at Zhu Su, as if he wanted to remind something.

"Fourth brother, I know." Zhu Su interrupted Zhu Di's words, closed his eyes and weighed the pros and cons.

After a while, he opened his eyes, "Everyone, clean up your equipment and prepare to pull out the camp......"

"Do you want to march to Shanhaiguan in a hurry?" Zhu Fan asked.

"Nope." Who knew that Zhu Su shook his head. "Shanhaiguan...... I won't go yet. ”

"We need to change our goals. Head for...... Where the wolf smoke is lit! ”

……

Shanhaiguan north of Fengsui, Zhenyitai.

"Knock the wood, push!" On the beacon, the thousand households in charge of guarding the beacon shouted loudly, and several sergeants shouted and pushed the thick wooden from the beacon, and several Liaodong soldiers who were climbing up the ladder suddenly screamed in panic, and were directly crushed under the wall by the rolling wooden ladder.

However, more Liaodong soldiers rushed up, carrying a makeshift ladder and launching a steady stream of charges against the beacon of the Ming army. Along the way, people were constantly knocked to the ground by bows and arrows and firearms, but a new set of ladders managed to set up the high wall of Zhenyi Terrace.

"A thousand households! The Great Wall in the eastern section has collapsed! Youyuan dog has come around! One of the heralds rushed up the wall, shouting at Wu Zhou as he ran.

Wu Xuan, who heard this letter, was suddenly struck by lightning: "What? The Great Wall in the eastern section collapsed? ”

"Hasn't the cement mortar used to build the wall yet dry...... Grandma's, I picked up a bargain for this group of meta dogs! While scolding his mother, he poked his head out and broke a ladder at the risk of a arrow.

"Old Wu, I can't hold it." A hundred households wiped the blood on their faces: "There are too many yuan dogs in this group." We have only a thousand people here, and there are at least 10,000 people who come to attack us! ”

"Even if the brothers could fight a pair, they would not be their opponents! It is estimated that there is only one beacon left nearby, and after a while, the Yuan dog will come around from the east, and we will have to be caught in the middle. ”

"Or withdraw ......"

"Fart!" Wu Xuan directly threw a big-eared scraper on the face of the hundred households, and while still thinking about it, he kicked a Yuan army off the city wall with one kick, and he scolded the hundred households: "One pair is not enough, isn't it enough for one person to cut five pairs of his mother?" ”

"If we don't crucify here, and wait for the commander to bring the troops again, will we go to attack the high wall at Shanhaiguan head-on? How many more brothers will die then? ”

"Grandma's, it's a coward, if you want to withdraw, don't forget that your mother and son died in the hands of Yuan Gou! Anyway, Lao Tzu's family is not with these yuan dogs, and if they can kill a few more yuan dogs, Lao Tzu's death is enough! ”

"Who's the coward!" The face of the hundred households instantly turned red, and with a roar of rage, he stabbed a Yuan army spear from the city wall, "The surname is Wu, let's Zhenyitai, you are not the only hero!" ”

"Grandma's, my hundred pounds of meat will be sent here today!" He spat on the ground, and immediately led the people to rush to plug the gap in the wall.

“…… Commander, if you don't send any more people, I will really die here for a thousand brothers in Zhenyitai. Although his brothers were still brave, Wu Zhou's heart was already throbbing. He knew that this was only the last insistence, but the Yuan army under the city was still in an endless stream.

As long as you let out this breath, Zhenyitai will fall immediately!
