In the evening, the army stopped at the foot of a hill, and the soldiers set up tents to prepare for the cooking of pots, and all of them were repaired for the night.

The setting sun had not yet set in the sky, and the afterglow of blood shone on the busy soldiers.

The young soldiers, whose faces were still childish, and the veterans who were already some years old, ran around the camp, ready to set up tents and fences.

At this moment, a war horse in the distance was galloping towards this side, and some soldiers raised their hands to cover their eyebrows and looked over, and looked carefully at the horseman's costume, which seemed to be the messenger of this army.

At this time, someone hurriedly reported to the lieutenant in the army: "The messenger is coming!"

Before the words had been spoken, the horse had already come to the door.

I saw that the young man on the horse, dressed as a soldier, was the messenger who had delivered a letter to the Central Plains not long ago.

He turned over and dismounted with a tired body: "I'm back, I'm too tired on the way!"

As he spoke, someone led the horse, and then someone brought him cold water to quench his thirst.

The messenger craned his neck, "grunted" and poured a scoop of cool water in one gulp, then wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

"I have news for the general, take me to General Huyan! There is also a secret letter from the capital!"

After saying that, the messenger shook the pouch on his shoulder, raised his foot and was about to go to General Huyan.

The lieutenant lieutenant hurriedly led the messenger to General Huyan's tent.

Seeing Huyan Liexiong, the messenger took out the secret letter in the mail bag and handed it to General Huyan, and then respectfully handed the pigeon cage to Huyan Ruiqi. Previously, the generals were gathering in the tent to discuss the war with General Huyan.

General Huyan opened the secret letter sealed by fire paint, sat on a chair and looked at it carefully through the afterglow of the setting sun.

I saw that his brows were tightly locked, and he considered every word on the secret letter word by word.

Huyan Ruich took the pigeon cage and carefully looked at the little pigeons in the cage. The pigeon was tilting its head to look at him, and it seemed that the pigeon had not been bogged down by the long journey, but had been well fed by the young messenger, and looked very vigorous.

At its feet, a small tube was tied and sealed with wax, and it seemed that Yuxi had packed the reply letter inside, waiting for Riich to unseal it.

Rui Qi looked at the pigeon and did not immediately open the pigeon cage, but looked at General Huyan solemnly, but at this time he was very excited, because Rui Qi knew that Yu Xi must have written a reply to him this time.

After reviewing the secret letter, General Huyan told Ruiqi with a solemn expression: "The emperor ordered us to march quickly to the border city, the situation over there may be very critical, there is already news that there is already a fight over there, so the emperor ordered the army to rush to the border city within a few days to relieve the siege." ”

When Riich heard this, he was very stunned, he didn't expect the war to come to the border city like this, and the enemy was not far from them.

He was a little nervous, the war was fighting not far from them, and he didn't know if the land was full of mourning or scorched earth at this time, and he seemed to be faintly hearing the sound of the warriors fighting, and the sound of the golden drum was beating more and more urgently.

Ricky's heart tightened, and a pair of thick eyebrows frowned tightly: "Father, is there a fight? We're about to meet the enemy, right?"

General Huyan Zhengse told Ruiqi: "That's right, the border city is not far from here, and the army of Gartnu is burning and looting there, the situation is very critical, and we must not underestimate the enemy." Tomorrow morning, we will lead a large army to rush to the border city to rescue the people there, and it is estimated that the defenders can no longer support it. ”

At this time, several other generals standing in the tent also drew their swords with emotion and shouted: "Kill Ghatnu, save the people of Limin, and defend our territory to the death!"

General Huyan glanced at everyone: "Although my territory is vast, I cannot tolerate the invasion of strong enemies. The well-being of the people of the world is the important task of our dynasty, and this time we are leading an army of 300,000 to protect the territory of our heavenly empire and the safety of the people of Li.

The generals under the tent waved their swords and shouted in unison: "I understand, we will definitely defeat Gartnu, swear allegiance to the emperor, and live up to our mission!"

General Huyan was a little relieved when he saw the excitement of the crowd: "Okay, I understand your feelings, this time there may be a tough battle, the enemy is very strong, not to be underestimated, and I heard that Gartnu's army is very evil, so you must then prepare for the soldiers' combat mobilization, and you will fight to the death with Gartnu in a few days!

The generals shouted in unison: "Understood!"

General Huyan held the hilt of his sword in his hand and said: "When the vanguard sends news tomorrow, we will observe the reality of the other side, and then make a good battle deployment and prepare to accurately attack the enemy's elite forces!

Then the generals left Huyan Liexiong's tent and returned to their ranks.

However, General Huyan remained in the tent and looked at the map, carefully pondering the terrain ahead.

Instead of leaving his father, Riich sat next to General Huyan to discuss with him the deployment plan of the Japanese army.

General Huyan and Ruiqi plan to divide their troops into three ways and outflank the Capricorn army. The main force came to the border city to rescue the defenders, while the two wings were separated from the left and right to outflank the enemy.

Then clamp down on the enemy with a flanking attack and destroy them one by one.

After the news of the vanguard arrives tomorrow, we can further determine the deployment plan and strive to rush to the border city to relieve the siege within a few days.

The food and grass in the army are still very sufficient, and from the secret letter sent, I learned that the food and grass of the reinforcement troops are rushing to the front, so there is no need to worry about the lack of supplies for the army.

In this march, the imperial court was very well prepared, and it was determined to drive Ghatnu out of our territory, and if it was forced to do so, it would definitely deal a severe blow to their forces, even if it was to further invade the Capricorn country.

Otherwise, the imperial court will not send the veteran Huyan Liexiong to lead the troops, of course, it is a kind of reliance on Huyan Liexiong, hoping that he can come back from a victory and show the power of our dynasty.

The naturally powerful Gartanu army cannot be ignored, so the dispatch of Huyan Liexiong and Huyan Ruiqi father and son is also a specially arranged plan.

The first is to test whether the newly appointed Riich is competent, and the veteran Huyan Liexiong does not dare to take it lightly, and he will definitely take great pains to fight this battle.

The emperor's painstaking general Huyan understood that he knew that this was not an easy matter, and victory or defeat would determine the future of their father and son. He also wants to return to the field with glory after this battle, return to his hometown to retire, and live for the rest of his life.
