When the third brother's team marched to the front city, it was already dusk, and the Liao soldiers who had attacked the city for a day retreated at this time, thinking that the battle was also to eat, and only when they were full did they have the strength to continue the battle, and the soldiers defending the city also took the opportunity to quickly take a bite on the ground, who knows if this damn Liao soldier would take advantage of the night to carry out a wave of sneak attacks.

The lord of the city will be the second eldest of the Chu family, Chu Yulin, this person is forty and three this year, and he has been staying in Handcheng on the northern border for 20 years, and he has never let the Liao soldiers occupy an inch of land on my border in these 20 years, which is the pride of the Chu family and the pride of the Qi country.

At this time, General Chu sat on the rolling wood pile under the city, holding a bowl of water in one hand and a wrap in the other.

"Smack...... After listening to Zhu Cheng's report on the military situation, the old general fell directly to the ground with the water bowl in his hand, "You...... You're no longer that bullshit lieutenant, in my Hancheng, be an ordinary soldier guarding the city, if you don't want to go back to Kyoto immediately......"

The old general didn't save face for this young man at all, so he stood up as he spoke, thought about it while walking with his head up with his back hand, and suddenly stopped after pondering for a long time, "You go, call Zhu Fugui and Zhu Sheng in the wind chasing camp." ”

The veteran shouted at the herald who was standing beside him, and when he saw the herald hurrying away, he paced up with his hands behind his back.

Fuguier and a group of soldiers entered the city, before they smelled the smell of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield, they began to open the fire and cook, the team marched for a day without a drop of water, at this time the chest was already hungry against the back, Fuguier was busy here, and a herald came to give an order, saying that the general of Zhenbei wanted to see him.

The general of the northern part of this town wants to see an absent Huotou army, what a glory, how dare Fuguier slack off here, follow the herald all the way to trot, less than a stick of incense, and see the hero who made the Liao soldiers frightened from a distance.

"You are the cupboarder Zhu Fugui?" The veteran saw Fuguier approaching, and took the lead in opening his mouth without waiting for him to salute.

"My subordinates are exactly, how do you know the name of one of my fireheads?" Fugui'er gave a light salute, but still raised the question in his heart.

"Haha, I am the second son of Chu Guogong, and Princess Na Nan is my niece, it was she who mentioned you in her letter, and I heard Vice General Zhu mention that today the wind chasing camp was ambushed, and you were the first to shout that there was an ambush, so I knew that you came to my Hancheng. Tell me where you lost in the ambush you encountered today. ”

The old general looked at his nephew and son-in-law like Fuguier, and did not regard him as an outsider at all, a veteran who had been fighting on the battlefield for 20 years, and he had a cowardly killing aura on his body, but when he talked to Fuguier at this time, he was much more restrained.

"General Hui, the ambush is first of all caused by the insufficient number of scouts in our army, the monotony of skills learned, two mountains and a ditch, it has been a taboo for soldiers since ancient times, how can these scouts who engage in reconnaissance not understand these?"

"The second is that today's battle is too child's play, although I have not experienced the battlefield, but I know that the real war is not like this, soldier to soldier, general to general, call the formation before the battle, will enter and exit, this is all in the drama military novels, the other party responded like this, but it is to grasp that our main and deputy generals are all talented generals on paper, so I did what he liked, and deliberately led General Liu out of the array...... Capture but not kill, this is the real purpose of the Liao army......"

When Fuguier said this, he glanced up at the veteran and asked for an answer.

"Haha, yes, if you were the one who led the troops today, you would never make such a low-level mistake, you continued."

The veteran stroked his beard and looked at Fuguier with encouraging eyes, the meaning was very obvious.

"Third, the lord will be captured, this deputy general and Du Yuhou have lost their proportions, one wants to advance and the other has to retreat, and finally divide the troops and go their separate ways, which is a taboo for soldiers. If it were me, I would set up camp on the spot, and be involved with it, so as to wait for the soldiers to come to surround it, so that it would be possible to save the main general. I think about it until tomorrow, and until tonight, the Liao army that is lurking into the country will definitely launch an attack on our Hancheng in a foreign alliance, and I hope that the general will prepare as soon as possible......"

After Fuguier finished speaking, he hugged his fists and saluted, but he was very sincere.

"Haha, it's useless, it's useless to prepare, I've been guarding Handan City for twenty years, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape the fate of the city breaking this time, it's a pity that the brothers who have fought with me for many years, it's a pity that the people of this Handan City are gone."

The old general has deep feelings for every brick and tile of this Handan city, and when he speaks at this moment, his eyes are blurred with tears and his voice is choked.

"It's not easy for you to think so thoroughly just by guessing, but do you know how this Liao army infiltrated our realm?" The old general steadied himself and continued.

"The Liao soldiers don't wear armor, and they don't want to be contemptible when they sneak in, just to march in a hurry and speed up the march, you are afraid that this march is out of the spies, and the spies will go out of Beijing with you, but they are a few days faster than your army's march, and when they arrive at the border, they will reveal your details to the Liao soldiers, and the Liao soldiers hurriedly divided their troops and infiltrated them, only to ambush before you and me turned, in fact, this is a dangerous move, but people have made it."

"General, I don't know something, you have been guarding the city here for more than 20 years, and you are extremely familiar with the terrain here, since you have blocked the border, how can you let the Liao soldiers sneak in so easily?"

This lightly armed army has come in a strange way, and this has always been something that Fu Guoer has been pondering all the way but can't figure it out.

"Haha, it's still that spy, it's the spy who pointed out the route for the Liao soldiers to sneak in. Qiliao border trade has been formed for a long time, this is a road paved with real money, not to mention those businessmen in the country who sacrificed their lives, even the Kyoto magnates also participated, and the closure of the customs sealed the financial roads of these people, some people I can ignore it, but how can I seal the financial roads of the Wang family. Therefore, although the pass is closed to face the battle, there are still two trade routes left on the border, the terrain of this pass is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, usually only one brigade (fifty people) of men and horses, it is more than enough to guard the checkpoint. At this time, it seems that the spy is afraid that he has informed the Liao army of this hidden trade route, and he has pity on my fifty or so good brothers, I am afraid that they have also been poisoned......"

When the old general said this, his expression instantly dimmed a lot, and even the straight waist seemed to have a sense of rickets for a while.

"Why should the general be so depressed, let's give up the front city, retreat to the back city together, and wait for reinforcements to help us."

Fugui'er couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw the old general's lonely expression.

"Hey, don't you know, this front city is different from the back city, the front city is easy to defend, and the back city is easy to attack, as long as the front city is broken, the back city is broken only between the tea, when I went north, I boasted in front of my father that Haikou, I lived and died with Hancheng, it seems that today is the time for me to spill my blood."

The old general has experienced the baptism of war and has already looked down on life and death, but when it really came to this day, the blood in his heart ignited the pride of his body, and the heroism of sprinkling blood to cast his soul also made Fuguier's blood boil.

"Zhu Fugui, you are a rare talent, today there is this story, it is also the fate of our masters, my Chu Yulin has been in the army all my life, and I have long looked down on life and death, but the reputation of my Chu family cannot be damaged because of me, I have an entrustment today, can you take it?"

"It is my honor to be entrusted by the general, Zhu Fuguier, but the old general said that it doesn't matter, I will do my best to die and then ......"

"Good...... One is to go back and tell my father that this time the city was broken not because I was incompetent, but because there was a spy, and this spy was of a very high level, and I am afraid that it was in the palace. The second is to lead the people of Houcheng to evacuate, Houcheng has 2,000 soldiers from your wind-chasing battalion, 3,000 logistics baggage, 1,000 supervising troops in the city, 300 officials and more than 10,000 people, you lead these people down the road, and you can reach the hurricane pass on foot for ten days, and you will be safe when you get there. ”

"General, how can I lead the Huotou Army when I am not registered, and how can others obey me?" Fuguier thought that the general entrusted him with words, at most, with words, so the words were very full, but at this time, he heard that he was going to lead the troops to evacuate, and he had to bring more than 10,000 people, and his scalp was numb, and his hair had to be tied up.

"Go, bring Chu Jun, Chu Yong, call me," the general glared at the herald, and the little soldier ran away, and after a short rest, he rushed over with two capable young men.

"Chu Jun, Chu Yong, listen to the order, this person is my newly appointed major general of the withdrawal army, you two take my general's order, lead 200 personal soldiers, return to Houcheng with General Zhu, and carry out the withdrawal of troops, all military affairs are subject to General Zhu's orders, there must be no mistakes!"

"The subordinate order, "This Chu army, Chu Yong, both of them, are small soldiers who follow General Chu, and they are considered dead soldiers of the Chu family.

"You take Zhu Cheng, the deputy general of the wind chasing battalion, go with you, the soldiers brought out by this person are useless, you only take those two hundred personal soldiers all the way back to the back city, you can't fight when you encounter the enemy army on the road, the speed of withdrawing troops and people must be fast, I can resist here for two days at most." Remember, you must go down the road, walk on foot on the official road, you will be caught up by the Liao cavalry in three days, you take my general charm, if you encounter an obstructor, behead! ”

As the old general spoke, he tore off the talisman from his waist, raised his hand to look at it reluctantly, and finally handed it to Fugui'er decisively.

"Lao Luo, you go with this major general, my war horse will be easy for this General Zhu to ride from now on, go......" After the old general finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the city wall, as if he wanted to sacrifice himself to die at this moment after explaining the aftermath.

"Young master......" The house slave called Lao Luo, when he saw the old general turn away, knelt on the ground and shouted Young Master, tears overflowed in his somewhat cloudy eyes, and he couldn't cry.
