On March 20, Huang Yong, director of the Intelligence Bureau in Seoul in Fan, received an urgent message from the intelligence personnel of Jiguo who used a carrier pigeon. After the secret message was translated, Huang Yong did not dare to neglect it and rushed to Xin'an front line to report to Ji Kang.

After reading the secret letter, Ji Kang handed it to Lu Zhonglian and General Rong Qi under the tent.

After reading the secret letter, Rong Qi stood up excitedly and said to Ji Kang: "June, now our army needs to be on the front, put more pressure on the Ji army, restrain the Ji army's army, and cooperate with General Wang Shi's actions behind Ji Kingdom."

Lu Zhonglian also stood up and bowed to Ji Kang and said, "General Rongfu said very well, I will discuss it."

Ji Kang nodded, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, raised his head and said to Rongfu: "General Rongfu, you can execute as planned. In addition, prepare another 50,000 troops to gather in Fanhan, and you must be ready to reinforce General Wang Shi at any time."

Rong Fu was stunned, then folded his fists and bowed to Ji Kang and said, "No."

Then he turned around and shouted outside the reconciliation: "Come."

A messenger walked in and knelt on one knee and said, "Greetings to the Lord and the General."

General Rong Far said to the commemorative commander: "I will order our army to attack the Ji army's defense line from tomorrow. Let all the generals who attacked should be careful and not to attack the enemy's defense line. Just give enough pressure to the Ji army."

The messenger quickly replied: "No."

On March 21, the Liao army launched an attack on the defense line of Ji Kingdom, and the attack strength was significantly stronger than in the previous few days.

Gao Min, the commander of the Ji army, did not dare to relax, and dispatched troops and took active defense. Especially in the Liao army, several defense lines such as Xin'an City, which were focused on attacking, sent a lot of troops.

Just as the Liao army and Ji army fought fiercely on the front of the Beiba Shuihe defense line.

Wang Shi, Wang Man and Zuo Zong, the three armies of Wang Shi's orders, set off from the Huajinli station on different dates according to Wang Shi's orders. They took advantage of the night to walk in remote mountainous areas. Under the leadership of Wang Fenghai and other intelligence personnel, they interspered towards Shun'an, Pingcheng, Baiyuanli and other places.

Nanba Shui River (Datong River) is one of the geographical indications of Ji Kingdom. It is located in the northwest of Ji Kingdom and is the fifth largest river in Ji Kingdom.

It is about 450 kilometers long and has a basin area of ​​more than 20,000 square kilometers. Because of the deep riverbed and the influence of the Yellow Sea tide, it is conducive to the sailing of ships. It originates from the Langlin Mountains. The river level is gentle and clear, and the flow is meandering. After passing through Jidu City, it flows southward into Nanpu County and flows into the Yellow Sea.

Pingcheng, the food and grass base of the Ji Army, is located at the western end of the Nanbashui River, at the foot of Dafeng Mountain. It is adjacent to Jidu in the south, and to the north is the second line of defense built by the Ji Army. The Suchuan and Shunchuan defense lines are extremely important.

In the evening, deep in the dense forest, the crescent moon casts a silver light on the earth, and the stars in the sky are shining brightly. The early spring night is also a bit cold, and the air is mixed with the freshness of the trees in spring.

In the dense forests of mountains, there are a long army of tens of thousands of troops moving forward.

In front of the team, Wang Shi was riding a war horse, wearing armor, and a very burly figure. He had a stern and bitter expression on his face and a solemn and solemn look, leading the army to march through the mountains.

Behind Wang Shi was Lieutenant Colonel Wang Fenghai of the Intelligence Bureau. The five thousand cavalrymen who followed the two were surrounded by the horses and the horses they rode with special wool cloth bags made from Liao, so that the horses would not sound as they marched.

This time, Junhou Jikang and General Rong Frank attached great importance to the military actions of the army led by Wang Shi in the rear of Ji Kingdom.

The cavalry also sent more than 10,000 people. In addition to the 5,000 cavalry led by Wang Shi, Lieutenant General Wang Man and Zuo Zong also led two thousand cavalry each, and the remaining 1,000 cavalry were stationed in Huajinli.

Behind the five thousand cavalry were more than 40,000 infantry, and twenty catapults were mixed with them, pulled by war horses. Because now, the military vehicles in Liao area all use new technologies such as bearings and are convenient to drive. The twenty catapults did not drag down the army's journey along the way.

All the soldiers in Liaodi were fully armed. After long-term training, these tens of thousands of soldiers, with food and clothing, won consecutive victories after several years of battles, and were defeated without losing. They themselves had a momentum that no one else could do.

Tens of thousands of troops drove rapidly and passed through a mountain pass between the two peaks. As they were moving in the dense forests between the mountains, according to military orders, tens of thousands of soldiers could only move silently, not make sounds. Only the footsteps of the army's marching echoed between the mountains and forests.

After passing this mountain pass, the mountain began to steep. General Wang Shi, who was walking in front of the army, immediately sent an order: "The army moves slowly."

With Wang Shi's order, the order was then passed to the back by the commander behind him, and passed it back in a low voice. In less than a moment, the entire army slowed down, showing the strict quality of the entire army.

Even though Wang Shi was very physically compatible, the night march for several consecutive days still brought fatigue to Wang Shi's face.

"Ltd Colonel Wang, can we reach the vicinity of Pingcheng today tomorrow?" Wang Shi whispered to Lieutenant Colonel Wang Fenghai behind him.

Wang Fenghai hurried forward and replied to Wang Shi: "General, after passing this mountain range, you will reach the foot of Pingcheng Mountain. At the speed of our army, it will be fine to arrive before morning tomorrow."

Wang Shi nodded and said to Wang Fenghai: "It's almost here!"

Then he said to Wang Fenghai: "Ltd. Colonel Wang, do you have any plans to conquer Pingcheng?"

"Is this?..."

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Fenghai was a little puzzled and thought to himself that this was not what you should consider as a general? As an intelligence officer, he has never been good at strategic siege of the army.

You ask me, who will I ask? Could it be that if my intelligence personnel were like before, I would not be able to seize the city gate? But this Pingcheng is different from the past! Lieutenant Colonel Wang Fenghai of the Intelligence Bureau slandered Wang Shi in his heart.

Seeing this, Wang Shi couldn't help but smile. Knowing this problem, it was really difficult for this old friend who has cooperated with him many times.

"Okay, the family. Don't be sad, I have a plan in my heart." Wang Shi said to Wang Fenghai.

After hearing Wang Shi's words, Wang Fenghai immediately put down a stone in his heart and hurriedly said to Wang Shi: "It's good that the general has a clever plan."

March 22, early morning.

The 50,000 army led by Wang Shi sneaked day and night, and had already followed the Dafeng Mountain Range to the mountains at the southern end of Pingcheng.

As the sun rises in early spring, the mist around gradually dissipates.

"General, the fog has dissipated." Lieutenant Colonel Wang Fenghai of the Intelligence Bureau stood next to Wang Shi, standing on a mountain in Dafeng Mountain, and said to Wang Shi.

Wang Shi nodded, took out the monocular lens hanging on his chest, looked north, and saw a city standing at the foot of the mountain. This city was the flat city that Wang Shi wanted to take.

Then he said to the messenger next to him: "Let the soldiers hurry up and camp, rest, and eat. He also ordered the three thousand soldiers who were preparing to attack Pingcheng, put on the military uniforms of the Ji army and wait for the evening to attack."

Even the elite Liao army was young. But after several days of stealth, they were much tired. They had to take a day to maintain their physical strength and combat strength.

After saying that, he held up his telescope and looked at the southern gate of Pingcheng, and saw that there were people in and out of the city. Seeing this, Wang Shi knew that Li Zheming, the garrison of Pingcheng in Jiguo, had no idea of ​​the Liao army coming, and was not wary at all.

The place where the Liao army chose to camp was a remote place in the Dafeng Mountains. Although they were marching urgently and were moving in the mountains, the entire Liao army still quickly camped and made rice according to the Liao army's regulations.

In order to keep it hidden, the entire army established a stove without smoke. The cooking team used the anthracite blocks they carried with them to boil hot water. Then, they poured the compressed dry food and canned sealed food into the pot and cooked for the soldiers.

At the same time, under Xin'an City, Ji Kang, in the Liao army camp, got up to wash up, and was having dinner with Lu Zhonglian and Rongfu.

The breakfast was very rich, with a large bowl of noodle soup for each person, plus two poached eggs, a few side dishes, and a basket of steamed buns.

The three of them finished their meal quickly and asked the attendant to remove the bowls and chopsticks.

At this time, Tian Guang came in and reported to Rongfu: "General, the current merchants and gentry in the Seoul City, came to present some exquisite food and meat to the general. General, what do you think about it?"

These merchants and gentry didn't know Ji Kang's arrival, so this is how it happened.

Rong Fur frowned slightly, and instinctively refused. But after looking at Ji Kang and Lu Zhonglian, they both smiled. After thinking for a while, he said to Tian Guang: "Take all the food and meat sent by these merchants and gentry to the wounded soldiers in the hospital."

Seeing this, Ji Kang and Lu Zhonglian nodded.

Tian Guang replied with his fist, "No."

After Tian Guang left, Ji Kang stood up, looked south, and said to Lu Zhonglian and Rong Qi: "I wonder if the army led by Wang Shi has arrived in Pingcheng?"

Lu Zhonglian and Rong Qi looked at each other and knew Ji Kang's concerns. Are they the same?

Rong Fur clasped his fists and said to Ji Kang: "Young Master Wuyou, General Wang Shi is experienced and has staff from my intelligence bureau in Pingcheng. As an internal agent, he should be able to arrive in Pingcheng smoothly now."

Ji Kang did not answer, and slowly walked to the map, staring at Pingcheng. He looked at it for a while, then turned to Rongfu and said, "I can't care about that much. General Rongfu, will he continue to attack the Ji army's defense line these days?"

"June, yes."

Ji Kang pondered for a while and said to Rongfu: "General Rongfu, no matter whether General Wang Shi can occupy Pingcheng? Don't delay, order the army to cast stones in, replace large stones, break the defense line of Ji's army for me, and order the entire army to prepare for a decisive battle with Ji's army."

Rong Qi thought for a while, nodded, and said loudly: "No, I will go and arrange it now."

After Rongfu left, Ji Kang turned around and looked at Pingcheng on the map again.

Lu Zhonglian was beside him, comforting Ji Kang and said, "Young Master, planning is up to others, and success is up to heaven. Whether General Wang Shi can occupy Pingcheng depends on the fortune of our army."
