Gongdu, Ning'an Road.

"Report, General Yuan! There are still five miles ahead of Xianxing County. According to the investigation ahead, there are 2,000 defenders in Xianxing County. The defender is Li Xuanren. Within a radius of ten miles, there are no traces of other palace troops." The scout came When he arrived in front of Yuan Song, he dismounted, knelt down on one knee and said:

After hearing the scout's report, Yuan Song frowned slightly and asked with some confusion:

"Are you sure that there are only 2,000 defenders in Hamhung County?"

"Yes, sir, there are only two thousand people!" the scout said with certainty:

After hearing this, Yuan Song pondered for a moment and then said:

"Expand the search area to thirty miles and continue the investigation! Search the southeast, northwest, and don't leave any blind spots!"

"Yes!" After hearing the news, the scout took the order and left.

Since entering the palace capital from Fengzhou six days ago, Yuan Song's first division has started a furious advance in the palace capital. It has been overwhelming along the way and basically encountered no resistance. The capital's army either collapsed at the first touch or surrendered and begged for life. The average marching speed of the army exceeded fifty miles.

Even though Yuan Song was dismissive of the combat effectiveness of Gongdu's army, he couldn't help but begin to wonder whether the Gongdu people were playing tricks on him...

Hamhung County, not far away in front of him, is an important town in the north of Gongdu, second only to Wanfeng Mansion. It is only 230 miles away from Gongdu City, and is also far away from Ruishan County, the destination of his battle this time. It’s just a hundred and twenty miles away!

If the Gongdu army wants to defend their capital, then they need to start preparing in Hamhung County!

With some doubts, Yuan Song led the First Division army to the foot of Xianxing City in a mighty manner. Raising his telescope, Yuan Song observed the combat readiness on the city wall and looked at the scattered palaces on the city wall. Army, a hint of disdain appeared on the corner of Yuan Song's mouth.

Although he had just heard the name of Xianxing County Guard General Li Xuanren for the first time, it had been six days since he led his army into the palace. Li Xuanren should have received the news in the rear and should have made preparations in advance, but now This Hamhung County is still lax in its war preparations and its morale is low, which proves that Li Xuanren is just a fool general!

As the saying goes, one soldier is a raging army, and a general is raging in a den. This Li Xuanren is a straw bag. The two thousand soldiers under him are just a ragtag group, no different from the palace army he encountered before... ·········

Although he was dismissive of the defenders of Xianxing County, Yuan Song had learned to be cautious after serving in the army for many years, so he did not immediately let the soldiers attack the city with all their strength with a wave of his hand, trying to capture Xianxing County in one go. He ordered to the generals behind him:

"Brothers are tired after walking all morning. I sent an order to the brothers to put the pot in the pot and cook. They must finish the meal within an hour!"

"yes!"

Following Yuan Song's order, the more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the First Division began to take action in an orderly manner.

When the generals of the palace who were also on the city wall saw this scene under the city, they suddenly felt extremely ashamed and angry, as if they had been slapped hard on the face. They are cooking under my city. This is simply ridiculous. It's too much of a deception. It doesn't take our palace army into consideration at all.

Yin Changhe, a general beside Li Xuanren, was really angry and asked Li Xuanren to fight angrily:

"General Li, the Zhou army is so arrogant. Please let me lead a thousand troops out of the city to attack in a surprise attack. I will definitely destroy the Zhou army's arrogance!"

Hearing his men's request to fight, Li Xuanren's livid face softened a little, he patted his men on the shoulders and said:

"Commander Yin, your courage is commendable, but the king has already sent word that our army is only allowed to stay in the city and defend it. We are not allowed to go out of the city to fight with the Zhou army. The king's order cannot be violated..." ····”

"Captain Yin, please be patient for a while. When the Zhou people attack the city later, you can chop off a few more Zhou people's heads and kill them like shit. Let these bastards know how powerful our Gongdu warriors are!"

Although the request for a fight was rejected, Li Xuanren's words made Yin Chang and Hong Guang's faces glow. They felt that they had gained a lot of dignity, so they hurriedly patted their chests and said:

"Since the king's order is here, I have no choice but to obey it! Sir, please rest assured that as long as I, Yin Changhe, are here, I will not let the Zhou army invade my Xianxing County. If they come, I will kill one, and if they come, I will kill a pair!"

Yin Changhe's impassioned statement immediately attracted adulation and praise from other palace generals. Among these people, the leader Li Xuanren was not happy at all. On the contrary, his eyes were full of worry. color

The surname Li, like the surname Jin and the surname Pu, are both common surnames in the palace. For every ten people in the palace, there must be at least one or two with the surname Li. However, Li Xuanren, this Li, is different from others.

He is a member of the royal family surnamed Lee in the palace, and he is also a clan leader. He is the younger brother of the former King Lee Jae-won, the uncle of the current King Lee Hyun-min, and the second son of Seiyang Lord Lee Jae-dong. This is why he can become a leader at such a young age. The important reasons why Hamhung County Guards················

As a general, Li Xuanren had no ability to command wars, but as a member of the clan, he had never eaten pork and had always seen pigs running away, so he still had good eyesight!

Although the Zhou army below the city is arrogant, there is always an army of thousands of people on alert among the enemy army. There is no doubt that they are waiting for you to leave the city for a sneak attack, and then they can take advantage of the situation to cover up and attack the city in one fell swoop.

Although he saw the enemy general's trick, Li Xuanren couldn't tell directly considering the morale. Their strength was far from that of the Zhou army that came from afar, and the opponent's strength was more than ten times theirs.

Therefore, if the morale continues to be poor, there will be no chance of winning at all, so he can only praise Yin Changhe, who is quite brave among the defenders, to encourage the already sluggish morale.

Although he really wants to defend his city, Li Xuanren, as a member of the royal family, has not lived enough yet. He is still young and has a long life to live, and those warblers and swallows are still waiting for his blessing, so he cannot Being able to die here...

Thinking of this, Li Xuanren quietly walked down the city wall under the pretext of urinating, and called his confidant general Jin Taiyu over and asked urgently:

"Are you ready?"

Jin Taiyu nodded when he heard this and said in a low voice:

"Sir, everything is ready. As soon as the city is broken, you can put on the clothes of an ordinary soldier. We will escort you on horseback to escape from the west gate. By then, the army will be in chaos, and the Zhou army will definitely not be able to find it!"
