The next day, before dawn, a scout guarding the city at the north gate was awakened by the sound of war drums filling the sky. He raised his head and glanced far away from Fan Yangcheng's female wall, and was immediately shocked!

Although he had a premonition and knew that the Xianbei coalition army was about to attack, he was still frightened by the battle in front of him. I saw that the Xianbei coalition forces took the Liaodong army as the vanguard, and the Xianbei and Wuhuan armies responded behind and launched an attack on Fanyang City!

Looking at this, the coalition forces are moving in full force. Although the specific number of troops is not known, looking down from the tower, there are coalition soldiers everywhere in the distance. According to a rough estimate, it is probably no less than an army of 500,000 people. It seems that this time the coalition forces have spent a lot of money and are preparing to capture Fanyang City in one battle! The fastest updated Qiqi m.qq*717^.com/ mq^^om/

Yuan Jun's scouts had never seen such a battle before. Fortunately, they were mentally prepared, otherwise they would have been frightened and speechless. But he was still frightened by such a formation. After knowing that the Xianbei coalition forces were coming in large numbers, he quickly raised the alarm and informed the imperial army behind him!

Dang Dang Dang—

Ding ding ding—

"Oh no, the Xianbei army is attacking. Brothers, get up quickly to meet the enemy!"

"Something bad is going to happen, brothers, get up and get ready for a big fight!"

"The Xianbei coalition forces are here, brothers, hurry up and meet the enemy!"

With the sounds of war drums and golden gongs, and the scout's shouting reminder, the entire North Gate garrison was awakened. As soon as he saw him like this, he knew that the enemy was coming with bad intentions, otherwise the scouts would not be so panicked. This panicked expression also infected the soldiers guarding the city, making them a little afraid. They were afraid that they would not be able to resist the attack of the Xianbei coalition and they would capture Fanyang City!

"Don't panic, the enemy is just bluffing. We have Fan Yangjian City, plus the hundreds of thousands of troops behind us, there is nothing to be afraid of!" Fortunately, at this time, Zhang He, the guard of the north gate, arrived in time. , seeing that the soldiers guarding the city under his command were a little timid, he spoke at the right time to dispel their fear and boost their morale!

"Yes, General Zhang is right, the enemy is just a paper tiger, what should we be afraid of? Come and kill one, come and kill a bunch of them!" Qiqi first posted on the whole website

"That is, the brothers have resisted the Xianbei coalition's attack for almost a month. They are nothing more than that. Although the number of troops and horses has increased now, we have Fanyang Jiancheng. Coupled with the leadership of General Zhang and the Lord, we are united, so why fear them? Xianbei!"

"Hahaha, brothers, guarding Fanyang City is to protect the family and the country. We will definitely get the support of the villagers, and with the support of the people. What are we afraid of? Pick up weapons and kill all these Xianbei trash!"

It seems that Zhang He's words have had a very good effect. When Zhang He's encouraging words just fell. It won the unanimous support of the entire Beimen soldiers and aroused widespread resonance among them. They all joined in, claiming to defend their homeland and kill all these invaders!

When the soldiers under his command were shouting, Zhang He also came to the tower and looked down carefully. Although Zhang He frowned at this sight, it did not affect his ability to command the soldiers of the North Gate to resist the invasion!

Seeing that the morale of all the soldiers guarding the city was greatly boosted, Zhang He took the opportunity to issue an order: "Send my order to the general, and the army will take up positions. Be prepared. When the Xianbei coalition forces enter the attack range, I will give them a fierce greeting!"

"It's the general. We'll obey!" Regarding Zhang He's order, the soldiers guarding the city didn't hesitate at all. Maybe they were a little bit expecting it. They agreed, and then took their positions according to the previous deployment, waiting for the Xianbei coalition forces to come forward and die. .

After the soldiers guarding the city obeyed the order, Zhang He turned his head and told his confidants, "Go and report the situation here to the lord immediately. Please let me know!"

"It's the general, the last general is taking orders!" Zhang He was naturally answered by another sound of taking orders!

After these things were settled, Zhang He felt a little relieved. He turned his head and continued to stare at the movements of the Xianbei coalition forces below the city tower, but his expression did not ease with his arrangements. He still looked serious and worried!

This could not help Zhang He not being serious and worried, because this time the Xianbei Allied Forces had spent a lot of money to come over. Although it would not be overwhelming, it was almost the same. Tan Shihuai suddenly dispatched 600,000 troops for this battle, vowing to take down the entire Fanyang City in one fell swoop and fight for Youzhou Ding!

Looking at the densely packed Xianbei coalition soldiers in front of the city tower, Zhang He clearly understood Tan Shihuai's thoughts. He might do the same thing himself. It will definitely drag on, which will definitely be very detrimental to the Xianbei coalition. Especially after the lost land in Youzhou was recovered, this was even more detrimental to them. It's like being attacked from both sides. If they can't win Fanyang City quickly, then what awaits their Xianbei coalition is a dead end!

Zhang He understood this, Ke Bi understood it, Tadun understood it, and even Gongsun Kang, who was like a straw bag, came to his senses after the advisors reminded him. As the leader of the alliance, Tan Shihuai naturally understood very well. He was fully aware of the outcome!

Therefore, after knowing that there was a fire in his rear, he immediately asked Ke Bineng to inform the Xianbei Allied Forces that early tomorrow morning, all the troops would be mobilized to attack Fanyang City and prepare to decide the male and female in a battle!

After receiving Tan Shihuai's order, Gongsun Kang and Tadun naturally did not dare to disobey, and after settling the guards of the camp. Gongsun Kang and his brother Gongsun Gong led an army of 100,000 in response to Tan Shihuai's call and marched towards Fanyang City. As for the remaining 50,000 troops, they were naturally guarding the camp under the leadership of counselors Jia Fan, Gongsun Xu and others to prevent any unexpected events!

However, Tadun did not discount Tan Shihuai's orders at all. He mobilized Wuhuan's 200,000 cavalry and pulled them around Fanyang City to join the coalition forces. I don’t know what he was thinking, but he acted like he was fighting for Tan Shihuai!

Tan Shihuai knew everything about the two people's movements. He was also very satisfied with their performance. Gongsun Kang did not exceed his expectations, but Tadun surprised him a bit. Although I don’t know what Tadun has in mind, this is a great thing for the Xianbei Allied Forces!

Therefore, Tan Shihuai mobilized an army of 300,000 to join them at the foot of Fanyang City, preparing to join forces and launch an attack on Fanyang City from the north gate. Let Ke Bi Neng stay in the camp and take the remaining 350,000 Xianbei troops on standby to attack, and also take good care of their Xianbei camp to prevent enemy sneak attacks!

And before setting off, Tan Shihuai didn't know what clever plan he had thought of, so he called Ke Bineng to his royal tent again and explained it in detail. After getting Kebineng's approval and listening to his suggestions, he left 350,000 troops in case Kebineng acted according to his plan!

Otherwise, according to Tan Shihuai's character, he would definitely come out in full force, gather all the troops of the coalition, launch an attack on Fanyang City, and prepare to capture the city in one fell swoop. Some may say, isn't Tan Shihuai stupid? At the very least, a reserve team should be left to guard the camp in case of any eventuality. Why go all out, so you are not afraid of failure!

The reason for this is actually very simple. One is that Tan Shihuai is very conceited. He firmly believes that he can break through Fanyang City this time, kill Yuan Shao with his own hands, and avenge his humiliation. The other is that the Xianbei people think they are invincible, and there is no such thing as retreat or failure in their eyes. Some people just attack, attack, attack, and attack again. Even if they die, they will die on the road to attack!
