The calmer this group of conquering troops appeared, the more uneasy Wei He became. He sent out two thousand cavalry to track the 500 conquering cavalry. He also led a large group of troops and followed behind him cautiously until An entire hour later, the scouts from other directions finally came back and reported to him that they found a nearly 10,000-strong Eastern Conquest Army infantry heading towards Guangping County. Only then did he suddenly realize that he had been attacked by a mere 500 people. The cavalry decoy was so bluffing that it lost its square inch and let go of a piece of delicious food in the mouth. If it were in the wild and the 20,000 cavalry under his command were facing less than 10,000 infantry, it would be a complete beating.

With his face turning black with anger, the army immediately turned around and rushed towards Wenping, hoping to catch up with the fleeing Dongzheng Army. At the same time, he sent an order to General Ya who was tracking the five hundred cavalry, ordering him to pursue the five hundred cavalry. We must kill them all

Suota looked at the Qi cavalry who suddenly gained morale and shouted to chase them. He chuckled and said, "The secret is exposed. The Qi army finally figured it out, but we also completed the mission. Brothers, run away."

The five hundred cavalry shouted, turned around and rode away with wild laughter. With their horse power, the Qi cavalry could not catch up. After eating for half an hour, the land in front of them was completely white. Everything was clean. , the cavalry of the Eastern Conquest Army has gone to no one knows where.

With this precious moment, Ding Wei had already led his troops to march to Guangping County. As soon as the army entered the city, they immediately began to prepare for defense, with thousands of people busy. Before they were ready, smoke and dust were rising in the distance, and the flag of the Qi cavalry had already appeared in the field of vision.

But now Ding Wei is not afraid at all.

"Come on, come on. Let's attack the city!" Ding Wei stood on the tower, looking at the cavalry galloping in the distance, and kept thinking in his heart, "Let grandpa teach you a lesson!"

Wei He stared at the flag of the Eastern Conquest Army fluttering at the top of Guangping City with an ugly expression. This opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come back. After a momentary misjudgment, the fighter plane disappeared and never came back. Wei He, who was so angry that he was dizzy, finally calmed down. The horse did not have wings and could not fly up the city wall. Even though Guangping is just a small city with a height of less than ten meters, it is not something that my cavalry without any siege weapons can take down. It is just a humiliation.

"He ordered all the ministries to raise enough food and fodder on their own, leaving one to guard the enemies in Guangping. We speeded up and went straight to the Laoshan Pass. As long as we passed the Laoshan Pass, there would be no obstacle to our future, and we could break into western Liaoning directly. Enter the base of the Eastern Conquest Army," Wei He ordered with a stern face.

The so-called raising food and grass by oneself is of course robbery. Wei He thought that he could not capture the Guangping garrison, so he could only leave this problem to Tian Fucheng. Of course, he also left it to Tian Dan, who was about to arrive in Langya, to control what he received. The mission is to go straight into western Liaoning. He wanted to leave Zhengdong Mansion, his old home empty, in a state of darkness.

On the other hand, he sent people to report to Tian Fucheng.

Warning him that reinforcements from the Zhengdong Army had appeared in Langya, while his troops were plundering in all directions. After collecting grain and grass, the surrounding area of ​​Guangping County suddenly fell into hell on earth. The Qi army entered the village on horseback, burned, looted and looted. The originally peaceful area was suddenly filled with smoke and mourning.

For two whole days, there was almost no human being around Guangping. Langya was originally wealthy, but no matter how wealthy the area was, it was difficult to withstand the disaster of war. The people of Langya around it could be said to have returned to abject poverty overnight. This was considered a good thing. What is even more tragic is that one is in danger of being killed. If there is any slightest resistance, a sharp knife will be used on one's body. As for rape, robbery and robbery are commonplace.

In Wenping County, Chen Wei's eyes turned red when he saw the thick smoke billowing around the county and the people fleeing. He was originally from Langya. When he went to western Liaoning with Fan Dengde, he was still a young man and a half. Ten years later, he joined the army and rose to the position of lieutenant general. When he saw the disaster in his hometown, he immediately became furious.

"Commander Ding, please give me a troop of soldiers and horses. I'm going to kill these sons of bitches." Holding the handle of the knife tightly, he begged to Ding Wei.

Ding Wei was unmoved at all, "Chen Wei, there are 20,000 cavalry outside the city. How many cavalry can I give you? Can you defeat them?"

Facing Ding Wei's rhetorical question, Chen Wei was speechless. After a long while, he said angrily: "Commander Ding, are our Eastern Expeditionary Army indifferent to the suffering of the people when we see it? When did our Eastern Expeditionary Army become a coward? These things The Qi cavalry is going to Liaoxi, so we should take the initiative and drag them to Langya. Even if the entire army is killed, we can still kill a large number of opponents."

"Then what?" Ding Wei took a deep breath, "If we leave the city, the Qi army only needs to send a few thousand cavalry to kill us alive. Can we hold them back? His main force will still Heading straight to western Liaoning, our attack is meaningless, but if we are stationed in Guangping, we can share the pressure of Langya County. As soon as this cavalry leaves, Tian Fucheng will have to send troops to warn us, and Langya County's What is more important, the safety of Madam and Xiaoxing, or the safety of the people around us?"

"Then let this cavalry go?"

"They have their own people to deal with them. So what if they pass the Xiaoshan Pass? Western Liaoning is not Langya. It's not that easy to get in and it's easy to get out. If they want to die, let them go." Ding Wei waved his hand, "Chen Wei, I know what you are thinking, but everything is based on the overall situation. Don't say any more, lead the brothers to strengthen the city wall and make city defense equipment, or what we will face next is not just Tian Fucheng's troops, Jicheng It is impossible to hold on. After taking Jicheng, Tian Dan will be free to deal with us. Langya's greatest danger has not yet arrived, so now, we can only do our best to maintain our strength to cope with the coming war."

Chen Wei lowered his head, "Yes, I understand. It's because I didn't think carefully."

Ding Wei patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. Anyone who sees their hometown suffering such a disaster will be furious. But we are soldiers. The first thing we have to do is obey orders and do our job well. The governor is not As I said, let him be proud for a while, but after all, what he eats from me must be spit out by me, and what he takes from me must be returned to me. Not only that, but also a lot of benefits must be added. Qi people dare to mess with us, right? Their misfortune is our opportunity!" Ding Wei laughed. He was a member of Gao Yuan's bodyguard, and he knew more or less what Gao Yuan was thinking. He was thinking about the man in Jicheng of Yan State who was driven away by Tian Dan. I had to run away like a dog, and I couldn't help but feel happy.

Yantian was destroyed, but Zhengdong Mansion was still there, and the governor no longer had the reputation of righteousness on his head. From now on, he no longer had to tie his hands and feet to do things. When the governor entered Jicheng, then I don't know if Yan Jun, who has fled, dares to come back? "

Ding Wei was stationed in Guangping, but he was not moving forward. After Wei He left, he launched a vigorous defense plan of building high walls and digging deep holes. He wanted to transform Guangping into a fortified city in a short time. A big city has the advantages of a big city, but a small city also has the convenience of a small city. Ding Wei has more than 6,000 people under his command. After Guangping is reinforced, as long as there is no shortage of food and grass, it is enough to deal with any degree of attack. Compared with Langya County City Likewise, he wants to take root here and slow down his opponent's progress. At a certain time, he will become a deadly steel needle.

At this time, with Qinglong Mountain, Langya County City, and Guangping as strongholds, the Eastern Expeditionary Army had planted three spikes on the straight line of the Qi army's advance. These three spikes were like three knives. The sword, lying across the throat of the Qi army, seems to be in danger now, but as long as it is defended, when the Zhengdong Army counterattacks, it will be the Qi people's turn to be anxious and confused.

Zhang Hongyu led the newly formed First Army and advanced towards the Weishan Pass at the fastest speed. The scouts were returning every day and being sent out every day. Various messages were continuously sent back. Langya County City was still holding on. , Ding Wei also entered Langya, which made Zhang Hongyu feel a little relieved and made some estimates. He should be able to arrive at Xiaoshan Pass in time to block this gap.

"Report!" Another scout came from a distance, sweating profusely. "Qi Army General Wei He, with 20,000 cavalry, is rushing to the Koshang Pass on a starry night."

Hearing the news, Zhang Hongyu couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. There are 20,000 cavalry. Are you going to compete with the cavalry in foot power? This is painful

With this in mind, I pulled out the map, looked at it carefully, and finally found a path. Or I wanted to send a surprise force to take this path that I don't know if it still exists. I must get to the Xiaoshan Pass first and make sure to get these two. Thousands of cavalry were blocked outside the Weishan Pass. Otherwise, if they were allowed to enter western Liaoning, the chaos would be huge.

"General, there is an urgent message from Zhengdong Mansion!" A general led a messenger and rushed in.

The messenger came in a hurry. Just looking at the mud all over his body and the dust on his face, Zhang Hongyu knew that the messenger had a hard time traveling all the way. "Guopei, why is it you?" When the messenger wiped away the dirt on his face and revealed his true face, Zhang Hongyu couldn't help being surprised. This was Yang Guopei, the minister of the Ministry of War of Zhengdong Mansion. What kind of military order was it? He actually asked a minister to rush to the army in person to give the order.

"Hongyu, see for yourself!" Yang Guopei sat down, picked up the kettle, and took a sip.

Before he had finished drinking, Zhang Hongyu on the other end had already read the military order, and angrily slapped the general order in front of him, "Who gave this random order to let Wei and 20,000 cavalry enter western Liaoning? This is Want to commit suicide?"

"Be patient!" Yang Guopei pressed his hands down, "This is a military order sent by the governor to send cavalry 800 miles away from the army on its way back. Commander Zhang, please read the military order patiently. After the military order, attached is a detailed action plan. , this is the key" (My novel "I am the King" will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be a 100% lucky draw gift for everyone!
