Long Wushuang looked at the map of the two states on the table, and he was rarely hesitant in his life.

According to the intelligence of the Northern Hebei Army, there were indeed no defenders in Yecheng.

"Our army has 5,000 people, and during the period when Liang Xiao sent troops, he attacked Yecheng by surprise, and then captured the strong men as troops in situ to watch the changes! No matter how bad it is, it will be a good idea for us to loot the treasury of Yecheng! ”

A Confucian scholar happily analyzed, and Long Wushuang just listened quietly with the Ten Directions Dao Leader.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but it is also accompanied by an unprecedented crisis.

Once you miss, you can't recover!

"Young marshal! In any case, we can't let General Shadow's blood be shed in vain! Once the opportunity is missed, when Liang Xiao frees his hand, we will have no chance at all! ”

The soldiers urged one after another, and the crowd was excited.

Long Wushuang frowned.

The shadow can't be hidden, and now the high-level people think that the result of the shadow is certain death.

And what they can do is to live up to the will of the shadow, seize every opportunity, and compete in the Central Plains!

Long Wutong threw a look of help from the Ten Directions Dao Chief.

The Ten Directions Dao Leader just sighed: "The decision is yours, no matter what choice you make, even if the road ahead is an abyss, it's a big deal, I will die with you." ”

Hearing this, Long Wushuang was moved, but only became more and more melancholy.

Even if such an opportunity is given up, the grand plan for hegemony will be an eternal dream, and it is only a matter of time before the Northern Hebei Army is disbanded.

But if the army fails, they may still have a chance to retreat, but they will definitely not be able to save their families, from now on they will be rootless duckweed, real rogues, looting wherever they go, after all, there will be no supplies from now on.

Capturing Yecheng, clearing the treasury, and even cutting off official roads, using this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Liang Xiao are all opportunities.

If Beihu goes south and the two sides are deadlocked, perhaps the Northern Hebei Army will have more weight.

Ei's letter was still on the table.

If he does not send troops, he will fail this group of brothers who are willing to shed their blood for themselves......

Long Wushuang sighed for a long time, and finally gave the order.

"All the soldiers listen to the order, settle down their families, and follow me to fight Yecheng!"

At the same time, Liang Xiao's army had entered the boundary of Youzhou and went straight to Yecheng.

"The marshal has an order, the whole army is on guard along the way, where there is cavalry, all will be intercepted and checked, if it is a suspicious person, those who dare to resist will be executed on the spot!"

Liang Xiao's order spread, and Yan Yun's iron cavalry quickly attacked, coming to the north of Yecheng twenty miles away.

The Taishou of Yecheng received a notice from Youzhou in advance, and set up simple outposts along the north of the city, each of which was a hundred feet apart.

The sentinels confirmed that the army's attire was Yanyun Iron Cavalry, and they raised fires and smoked cigarettes one after another, and quickly reported to the city.

Chang Polang, who went out with the army, could only pray that Long Wushuang would not do stupid things.

This time, the cavalry alone had 10,000 Yanyun iron cavalry.

There were at least 5,000 defenders hidden in Yecheng, and he just learned that this was laid out by Zhuge Hui for many years in advance, specifically to lure the northern Hebei army to seize the city.

Those defenders are no different from the common people on weekdays, and once the war starts, they can immediately go to the post to defend.

In the north of Jizhou, there are also Youzhou and Liaodong as gateways, so it is reasonable that Yecheng is not the object of key defense.

Once the Northern Hebei Army really attacked Yecheng, it meant that they and Guanlong were also officially hostile.

The key is that the Northern Hebei Army has no chance of winning in the face of Liang Xiao, as long as it appears within the scope of Yanyun Iron Cavalry's exploration, it will definitely be defeated!

"Marshal, what if the enemy army doesn't come to Yecheng?"

Dong Lian expressed his concerns to Liang Xiao.

Liang Xiao said: "Then continue to march to the west and take the northern Hebei military camp, but if the enemy army resists stubbornly, our army may have some casualties." After all, if you can pull up a cavalry for so long without being discovered by the imperial court, the other party is by no means an idle person, at least good at guerrilla and stealth warfare. ”

Hearing this, he often broke the waves and breathed sluggishly.

He had done his best, and he Lin Shi had repeatedly advised Long Wushuang not to be an enemy of Liang Xiao.

It turned out that the Northern Hebei Army was facing a dead end!

Even if there is no Liang Xiao, the Northern Hebei Army has always been under the control of Zhuge Hui's layout, and there is no possibility of making waves between the two places, unless Yanzhou is broken.

Now, Liang Xiao even knows the location of the Northern Hebei Army?

He and Long Wushuang met in Pingshui, like-minded, and after more than a year of friendship, Long Wushuang invited him to fall into the grass, only to find that each other's identities were not simple.

The location of the Northern Hebei Army didn't even know him as Long Wushuang's sworn brother.

Liang Xiao was determined to pull out the nail this time and never allow the backyard to catch fire.

And the Northern Hebei Army made Liang Xiao so laborious during the tense period against Beihu, from the perspective of the Great Zhou army and people, it was a big crime!

Liang Xiao's army was encamped in the military camp north of Yecheng.

The north gate of Yecheng has been closed in advance, and the people in the county have not interacted, and the situation in the north of the city has not been discovered for the time being.

The villages on the outskirts are also under the control of Yanyun Iron Cavalry, and it is temporarily forbidden to go out at will.

The villagers trembled, not knowing what was happening.

Liang Xiao took a shade under the big tree, waiting for news.

An hour later, the southern Pegasus returned.

"Report to the Marshal! The defenders have spotted the enemy's traces and have already set fire to the smoke! ”

After all, it's a war of arms!

Chang Polang sighed in disappointment, and with a sad and indignant mood, he lifted the snake spear.

"The last general is willing to be the vanguard and wipe out the rebels!"

Liang Xiao did not object, and the army immediately marched out, bypassing the west city of Yecheng all the way and rushing straight to the south.

At this time, Long Wushuang's cavalry and infantry marched for a day and reached ten miles away from the plain south of Yecheng.

The 5,000 officers and men of the Northern Hebei Army were unprecedentedly excited.

"Yan Zhao Fuxing, all in this battle! Take a break, enter the city, and seize Yecheng! ”

Long Wushuang held high Yan Zhao's heirloom jade seal, and after boosting morale, he gave an order in public.

At this moment, the ground trembled slightly, alarming the whole army.

"Young marshal, an army has appeared in the north!!"

The scouts in front of the rush made the northern Hebei army feel like a great enemy.

Long Wushuang and Shifang Dao's long pupils shrank sharply.

No need to guess, they know who is coming.

"Walking on thin ice, developing for many years, and having a grand plan to dominate the industry, it is a dream in the end." The head of the ten directions sighed helplessly, and immediately looked at the north.

"We are too weak, and it is Da Zhou who should be revived." Long Wushuang's expression was calm, as if he was talking to himself.

"Young marshal! Let's fight! The officers and soldiers of the Northern Hebei Army were full of blood and asked for battle, but they were stopped by Long Wushuang.

"Without cavalry of more than 10,000 people, it would not have been possible to shake on such a scale. It was Liang Xiao, Marquis of Lanling, who came. ”

As soon as Long Wushuang's voice fell, the whole army was terrified!

"Lanling Marquis Liang Xiao? He—Didn't he rush to the aid of Liaodong? ”

"Therefore, we will set up suspicious soldiers and lure our army to prevent future troubles." The Ten Directions Dao Leader said in a trembling voice.

The generals finally woke up and were filled with remorse.

"Shall we withdraw our troops, then?"

"Where? Leave the Infantry Brothers? Long Wushuang smiled.

The generals were ashamed.

I finally paid the price for my impulsiveness.

A quarter of an hour later, Liang Xiao's Yanyun Iron Cavalry had already reached the north, and there were only five miles left from the Northern Hebei Army.

The herald returned to the front of the battle and reported to Liang Xiao.

"Marshal Qiyu! Long Wushuang, the young marshal of the Northern Hebei Army, asks for negotiations! ”
