Ding County.
The sky is clear and the autumn mood is refreshing.
On the top of the city gate, there are two flags of "Wu" and "Dragon" hanging. Because there is no wind, they are hung tightly.
But the soldiers standing guard or patrolling in the city were in high spirits, and everyone was alert. In the last battle with the Mongolian people, the defense of Ding County worked very hard.
Veterans who have experienced bloody battles know that peace is hard-won.
The new recruits follow the veterans, and of course they follow the same example.
All in all, the tens of thousands of soldiers commanded by Long Qie were very motivated to fight.
In the main hall of the Colonel's Mansion in the city.
Long Qie was wearing heavy armor and sitting on the main seat with a big horse and a golden sword. Standing in front of him was one of his close soldiers.
"Go and give this to General Guan Jinhan. Remember, you must hand it to General Guan Jinhan personally. Then you can find a way to escape."
"If you don't get out, he's going to kill you."
Long Qie picked up the small box on the coffee table, handed it to the soldier, and gave instructions carefully.
"Don't worry, Lieutenant Colonel. I know how powerful I am." The soldier responded solemnly, reached out and took the small box, bent down and walked away.
"Clang" sound. Long Qie pulled out the steel knife from his waist, held it upright in front of his eyes, stretched out his left hand to touch the blade lightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"The bear has no self. Do you feel it? The murderous aura in the air."
............
Huping County.
Guerrilla General's Mansion, inside the hall. Guan Jinhan was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, with Long Qie's soldiers standing in front of him, holding a small box in his hand.
He carefully opened the box and took out a piece of silk. A brilliant light flashed in the tiger's eyes.
"Travel day and night, take the small road, and rush to Shangu. Kill Wu Nian."
It's here, it's finally here. Cut off the head of the Liaodong tiger, just this time.
"Thank you for your hard work. Come here. Take this strong man down to eat and drink, and entertain him well." Guan Jinhan said something to Long Qie's soldiers first, then raised his head and said loudly to the door of the house.
"Yes." A personal soldier of Guan Jinhan came in from outside and walked out with Long Qie's personal soldiers.
"Send someone to notify Huang Hu and gather troops immediately."
"Our troops will assemble immediately and travel lightly."
Guan Jinhan immediately stood up and gave the order loudly. Soon after, he got on his horse and headed north of the city, surrounded by his own soldiers.
Ten thousand elite soldiers were all used intensively by him.
Defending the city or not is no longer important. Killing Wu Nian was the most important thing. The Liaodong Tigers are powerful.
If you want to kill the Liaodong Tigers, no matter how many soldiers you have, it will not be enough.
What's more, they only have 30,000 people plus Long Qie.
Guan Jinhan met Huang Hu first, and then together they moved quietly along the path with few pedestrians, traveling day and night, heading straight for Shangu.
They did not bring any food or supplies, and each soldier only brought enough dry food for seven days. The marching speed was very fast.
The determination to intercept and kill Wu Nian was very decisive.
But Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu didn't know that their actions had been monitored by Wu Nian. When it comes to the arrangement of spies, Wu Nian is amazing.
In addition, there is mental arithmetic but no intention.
Look at the sea and the mountains.
Wang Gui led thousands of elite soldiers and set up camp on the plains. During this period, he not only defended this important mountain peak, but also trained elite troops, with remarkable results.
The soldiers were kept fat and strong, and their morale was high.
Inside the Chinese army's tent.
Wang Gui sat on the handsome seat, with a panting spy standing in front of him.
"The time has come for the lion to open his mouth." Wang Gui stood up with a happy face. Then a soldier was called in and ordered: "Take this brother down to rest. Send another order."
"Prepare food, grass, baggage, and siege equipment, and send troops to attack Huping County and Lin County tomorrow. In addition, the camp will be closed tightly. Soldiers can only enter but not leave. To prevent the news from leaking."
"yes."
The soldier promised in a loud voice, and immediately led the panting spy down, and encouraged: "Brother, thank you for bringing the news. Just hold on, you'll have enough food and drinks."
"Yeah." The spy hummed, but he didn't have the energy to speak. In order to deliver the news quickly, he rushed back day and night.
same day. Wang Gui's military camp was on alert and the camp gate was closed. Early the next morning. The soldiers in Wang Gui's camp cooked food. After breakfast, under the command of Wang Gui, they brought enough baggage, food and siege equipment, and sent troops to attack the remaining two counties in Guangchuan Prefecture.
Huping County, Lin County.
And these two counties are right next door. After Wang Gui set out, he entered the territory of Huping County.
The autumn harvest is now complete. Wang Gui's army marched straight towards Huping County along the road. Surrounded by open fields.
The soldiers are illustrious and the flags are majestic, clearly visible at a glance.
"Look. That's Wu Nian's army!!!"
"It's true. Hurry, go back to the county and report!!!!"
The people along the way watched in great excitement. Wu Nian did not kill ordinary people and had strict military discipline, so they were not afraid of Wu Nian's army.
Some wealthy people who were interested in Chu and Han, or scholars who were out for fun, immediately went back to report after seeing Wang Gui's army.
It's a pity that Huping County's guard, guerrilla general Guan Jinhan, has been away for two days. Even if we send people to move reinforcements now, they won't be able to come back.
There were not a single soldier in the city, only two to three hundred government officials and a civilian magistrate.
These government officials were actually men. They actually closed the city gate and stood on the city wall, fearfully preparing to use their mantis arms as chariots.
"Da da da!!!!"
soon. Wang Gui's army appeared on the horizon, and spread out, setting up an offensive formation, and arrived at the city.
A fast horse galloped out of Wang Gui's army formation. The cavalry on the horse raised his head and shouted: "People in the city, listen."
"Guan Jinhan has fallen into the scheme of General Fu Han, and I'm afraid he will die in Yingqing Mansion. Now you are just an empty city. If you are sensible, open the city gate quickly. We, General Fu Han, will only kill Mongolians, not Han people. We don't care about counties. Not a single one of the magistrates, county magistrates, officials, government servants, and people in the city will be killed."
The cavalry were galloping back and forth outside the range of the archers, shouting to persuade them to surrender.
All the police officers in the city were shocked and frightened after hearing this.
"What should I do? Has General Guan really fallen into the trap?"
"It's possible. The general is not in the city right now."
"Should we surrender? What if we surrender? But General Xiong comes back and holds us accountable for surrendering?"
The government officials were like headless flies, anxiously circling all over the floor.
"The county magistrate ran away. The magistrate ran away from the west of the city with his family." Suddenly, a government official rushed up the city wall and said breathlessly.
Come on.
There is nothing more to say.
The county magistrate has run away, so why should we guard the ball?
"Hurry, open the city gate and welcome General Fu Han's army in." A head catcher raised his hands and shouted.
After a while, the city gate was opened. The government officials lined up in two rows and came out to surrender.
Wang Gui captured Huping County without spending a single soldier.
Under the banner with the character "王", Wang Gui is riding on a horse, with his head held high and full of momentum.
This is to be expected and is nothing to be proud of.
"Instruct Zhang Qianhu to lead his troops and station themselves in the city. The rest of the troops follow me to Lin County." Wang Gui ordered loudly.
"yes."
The soldiers responded loudly and quickly went down to deliver the order. Soon after, Zhang Qianhu led his soldiers and entered Huping City.
"Let's go." Wang Gui gave the order and led the army towards Lin County. And at noon the next day, they robbed Lin County.
He still left a thousand soldiers to guard Lin County. Then he led the remaining eight thousand soldiers and pursued them along the mountain road that Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu had walked.
Wang Gui, Long Qie, Zhang Jin, Liu Wu, and three thousand-household horse infantry led by Wu Nian, with a total of 40,000 to 50,000 troops, surrounded Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu.
Wu Nian has opened his mouth.
