At noon, when the sun shone in the sky, Luo Dingxi finally sent a military order, ordering the entire army to start. The first to enter the Eagle Nest Stream was Luo Dingxi's confidant Ci Xiu.

Ci Xiu was wearing armor, wearing a sabre, holding a horse whip, leading the way. Behind him, nearly 4,000 cavalry followed him one by one and entered a narrow path like a sheep. In order to avoid unnecessary conditions, all the cavalry had nothing else on their bodies except for a sabre.

Because the road has been cleared out in advance, although it is narrow, the traffic is very smooth. These four thousand cavalry were carefully selected by Luo Dingxi, and the military discipline is quite good.

I just knew that so far, these thousands of soldiers and horses did not know the real purpose of this trip. I just passed the military orders. Because of the defeat in the war in Mazhou, the Beishan Army had to be strengthened for training, especially the Beishan cavalry, which is the ace of Beishan and requires strict training. Few people in the cavalry knew that there was such a passage in Longshan. Since the orders were to be trained on the upper side, they naturally obeyed the orders.

Luo Dingxi and Cixiu discussed it over and over again. Although this narrowness was already open, they could only allow one rider to pass alone. This also shows that the person in front reached the exit, and the cavalry at the end might not even enter the narrow path. If they wait until dark and then exit the mountain stream, they are afraid that by midnight, all these thousands of people would not be able to go out.

Luo Dingxi asked for two points in this surprise attack, one was secret and the other was rapid. The secret work has been done very well now. If it is to be quick, there will be no delay. He must arrive at Shuoquan City overnight and launch a surprise attack.

After discussion, it was finally decided to wait until the troops in front arrived at the exit and send a few cavalry out to check the movements around. If it is confirmed that there is no trace of people, the cavalry will walk out of the stream one by one and then hide in the mountains and forests.

Longshan is the junction of Xiguan and Beishan. To the south of Longshan is Beishan, and to the north is Xiguan. This mountain has always been an insurmountable divine punishment.

The ridges and mountains in Xiguan are also densely shady, which is enough to hide soldiers and horses on the mountain.

Ci Xiu walked through the twenty-mile narrow path of Eagle Nest. Although he walked very carefully, it only took him more than an hour. He was the first to reach the stream entrance. Near the stream entrance, the two sides were a little wider, and it was enough to ride two riders. However, just in case, the dead vines at the exit were not completely removed, but were left there as a cover.

Ci Xiu pulled the horse to the side and signaled the cavalry behind to clear the dead vines and weeds. At only fifty or sixty steps away, several cavalry overturned and dismounted, pulled out their sabers and waved their swords to chop them. The soldiers in front cut off the weeds and threw them behind. The soldiers behind came over and cleaned up a little, spread them on the ground.

These soldiers who cleared the obstacles were all prepared in advance. The saber they wore was extremely sharp. Although the ancient vines were hard, the saber cut down was like cutting tofu. It was very easy. It took dozens of steps to clean it up. In fact, it didn't take too long. The stream was actually very dark. When it gradually moved forward, its eyes gradually became brighter. When the last weeds were cleared and the sunlight was completely projected in, the soldiers seemed to have walked out of the gate of hell and took a deep breath.

Ci Xiu had already arrived with a grim expression. He walked to the ravine and looked forward. There was a flat horse in front of him, with a vast world, but no one was seen. He was very careful and recruited several cavalrymen and ordered them to change their clothes, pretend to be ordinary people, ride out to inquire about the situation first, ride a few pegasms, and go out to inquire about the front and left and right sides.

They did not leave the stream, and the cavalry in the narrow path behind could only stop, one after another. The narrow path was dark and depressing, and the stone walls on both sides gave people a sense of extreme oppression. Many soldiers were not mentally and physically uncomfortable, and only hoped to walk forward quickly and get out of this damn narrow path earlier.

Not long after, the several horses sent back one after another. The distance they were searching was within ten miles. The soldiers heading forward and on the right said that they had not seen any traces of people. Instead, the soldiers returning from the left told them that less than ten miles to the left, they saw five or six men dressed like hunters preparing to go up the mountain, as if they were going to go into the mountain to hunt.

Ci Xiu did not hesitate and immediately sent a small team of cavalry, but only a team of ten people, to promptly deal with the hunters. He then ordered other soldiers to walk out of the ravine, then quickly enter the mountains and forests to hide, and then take action after the entire army came out.

The cavalrymen came out of the stream one by one, then quickly divided them to both sides, turned to the mountain to hide, and soon came back to report that the hunters had been found, and all of them were killed and buried.

When the sky gradually darkened, the mountain was full of Beishan cavalry hidden in it. Luo Dingxi, who was behind, finally left the ravine. Ci Xiu reported the situation and even told the situation of the hunters. Luo Dingxi praised Ci Xiu for his decisiveness and looked at the sky again. The afterglow of the sunset was still in the sky. He sent orders to let the soldiers eat the dry food they carried with them, take a rest, wait for the military order, and set off at any time.

At the right time, the sky was completely dark and the earth was quiet. Luo Dingxi issued another military order, urging all cavalry to tie their horses' hooves to cotton to avoid making noise while running. At this time, the cavalry had already felt something was wrong. Many people already understood that this time was obviously not an easy training.

When a cold crescent moon rose from the horizon, Luo Dingxi finally ordered the entire army to go down the mountain.

The cavalry in Beishan came down the mountain and gathered at the foot of the mountain. The war horses were covered with their horse's mouth and could not make any noise. They could only kick the horse's hooves uneasily.

Luo Dingxi held the sword in his hand and flew back and forth in front of the formation. Then he grabbed the reins in front of the team and shouted: "My children in Beishan, tonight, I will take you to do a great thing that can be recorded in history. You are the warriors carefully selected by me, and only you are qualified to complete this action!"

He was full of energy and his voice was rough. With the night wind, the voice spread, and most of the soldiers could hear what Luo Dingxi said.

The cavalry looked at each other, and they were puzzled.

"In the Battle of Kezhou, we had countless brothers who died in battle. This is what I hate in my heart." Luo Dingxi looked solemn, "Many of those brothers who died in battle have followed me for many years. They died in battle. I felt ashamed as a knife. The reputation of our Beishan Army was almost lost in that battle. Therefore, I will take you to regain our dignity and revenge our brothers who died in battle!"

When Luo Dingxi said these few words, no matter how stupid a soldier was, he finally understood that this action was indeed not a special training, but a special action against Xiguan.

"After setting off, we will rush to the city of Shuoquan City in Xiguan and capture Xiguan City in one fell swoop." Luo Dingxi's black armor shone with a cold light under the night moonlight. "There are less than two thousand defenders in Shuoquan City now, and the troops are weak. I can tell you now that I have already used a lot of money to buy the inner supporters in Shuoquan City. As long as we arrive at the city, the city gate will be opened and the brothers can rush into the city."

Cixiu was originally behind Luo Dingxi, and at this time he also urged him to step forward and shouted: "This raid is of great importance and the future of the brothers. The general said that as long as he seizes Shuoquan City, he will be rewarded with great rewards to every brother. Whenever he controls Shuoquan City, he can keep it himself as long as the woman he likes!"

When the cavalry heard this, their eyes flashed.

A soldier couldn't help asking: "General, although we have 4,000 people, Shuoquan City is the prefecture of Xiguan. Putting aside the defenders in the city, if Shuoquan City is really taken down, will the officers and soldiers of other departments of Xiguan rescue? At that time, we are short of troops and are afraid that it will be difficult to resist!"

"Good question." Luo Dingxi smiled and said, "I will tell you that the main force of the Xiguan Army has been transferred to Hezhou and is fighting fiercely with Zhu Lingyue's Tianshan Army. Not only is the majority of the defenders of Shuoquan, but most of the troops of Xuanyuan Shengcai of Jiazhou were transferred, and most of them were transferred, leaving little. After we take down Shuoquan City tonight, the Beishan Army stationed in Qingzhou received the order of our general and will immediately send troops to recover the three counties of Qingzhou occupied by the Xiguan people, and then they will march straight into and attack Jiazhou. Behind us, the main infantry force of our Beishan Army is coming. As long as we stay in Shuoquan City for a day, the reinforcements behind will arrive, and then we can completely control Shuoquan."

The cavalry were still a little thrilling. After all, in the Battle of Kezhou, the Beishan Army was really defeated by the Xiguan Army and lost its soul. The fear of the Xiguan Army was still left with a shadow until now, and raided Shuoquan with 4,000 cavalrymen. Although they were taking advantage of their unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack, the cavalry was still a little nervous.

However, after Luo Dingxi said this, everyone realized that Luo Dingxi had already made arrangements and immediately felt relieved.

"Now, I will issue military orders. After you seize Shuoquan and control the Shuoquan defender, our troops will be divided into eight teams." Luo Dingxi said seriously: "Zheng Huai and Zheng Wei generals led 300 troops to block the north gate, Yang Kaihe led 300 troops to block the east gate, Ansheng led 300 troops to block the west gate, Wu Kuan led 300 troops to block the south gate, after you control the four city gates, close the city gate, no one is allowed to leave the city before the main infantry force arrives, let alone anyone is allowed to enter the city, but someone dares to approach the city gate, and kill without mercy!"

The four generals all came out and bowed and said, "The last general will obey the order!"

"Ci Xiu, Song Anlu, Yao Yun, Cheng Yihuai, you four lead 300 people to control the four families of Su, Qian, Fu, and Hong in the city as soon as possible. You must control the heads of these four major families. Of course, don't lose politeness to them." Luo Dingxi's eyes were cold, "But if someone dared to resist, he should also teach them a little lesson and let them learn more!"

"As for the order!"

"Lu Fan, Mark Shuang, you two lead 300 troops and arrest the officials of the Six Divisions in the city immediately without any mistakes." Luo Dingxi said in a deep voice: "I personally led the remaining troops and horses to take the Governor's Office and control the Governor's Office. If you control the entire core of Shuoquan, as long as Chu Huan's family is in our hands, Shuoquan City can be pacified!"

All the generals obeyed their orders, and almost all these generals were Luo Dingxi's generals in the Beishan Imperial Guard, and he was all cultivated and promoted.

"Everyone, take revenge and restore the reputation of our Beishan Army. Once this is done, once every brother here is successful, I will never treat it unfairly and will definitely give it a reward. Although Shuoquan City is not very rich, it is easy to fill each of you're all your pockets." Luo Dingxi turned his horse's head, waved his long sword, and whispered loudly: "Go!"
