In June of the first year of Guangming, the Beihu tribe coalition, which was heading south from the grassland north of Yinshan, was defeated by Li Keyong's "invitation" and took half of the money and grain children from the tribes. Before the mountain was captured, all the money and grain children were all tempted by the tribes. After crossing Yinshan and entering Daibei, 200,000 troops rushed into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

In just a short period of time, Li Siyuan's tens of thousands of troops had been defeated, and his troops were divided into multiple groups, successively capturing Jingbian Army City, Wuzhou City, Wuzhou Qingsai Army City and Tiancheng Army City in the west of Yunzhou, Datong. The army was attacked until the vicinity of Yunzhou. At this time, Yunzhou was surrounded, leaving only the outer Niupi Pass, Baidengshan Military Village, and Yunzhong Guard to capture three peripheral barriers.

The Khitans, commander of the South General Army, Yelu Shilu, surrounded Yunzhou while sending tribal troops to continue searching and pursuing Li Siyuan's remaining troops. At the same time, they sent tens of thousands of auxiliary troops to enter all parts of Yunzhou like locusts, plundering all supplies and captive all the people in the territory.

After the left and right troops successfully captured the four cities of Jingbian, Wuzhou, Qingsai and Tiancheng, Yelu Shilu transferred his brother Yelu Sass to lead his troops around Yunzhou and directly followed the Sanggan River to enter the eastern border of Yunshuo and attacked Jincheng, a large-scale base camp that Li Guochang and Li Keyong, which had been run by his father and son, and led his troops to attack Yingcheng, Heyin, and Hunyuan counties nearby.

Zhang Zimian sent 10,000 auxiliary troops here, which was also the logistics transfer station of the Western Expedition Army. Under the fierce attack of 50,000 troops of Yelu Sassai, 10,000 Qin vassal auxiliary troops refused to defend the city and died in great danger.

Ten thousand auxiliary soldiers. They are in danger.

The huge changes shocked the entire Daibei, and also shocked the Western Expedition Marshal Zhang Zimian, and also shocked the entire Qin vassal. Li Jing urgently ordered Zhang Zimian to return to the Jincheng area quickly, and at the same time urgently dispatched Liu Xun, Qin Zongshou, Gao Rong, Liu Zhijun, and Zhang Yun to lead 30,000 light cavalry and quickly went out of Duguan to reinforce.

Jincheng, Yingcheng and other four cities are located in the center of Yunshuowei and the three states of Yunshuowei. This place was not only the old nest of Shatuo people in the past, but also the only passage between Zhang Zimian's army and the rear of Shuozhou at this time. Yunzhou was surrounded and Daizhou was controlled by Shatuo people. If the four cities of Jincheng were lost, then Zhang Zimian's 20,000 troops would be blocked in Shuozhou and fell into the north-south and south-south between Shatuo and Beihu.

At this time, Zhang Zimian was purged of Li Siyuan's rebels in the southern part of Shuozhou, and the Yanmen Shatuo cavalry entering Shuozhou from Daizhou. At the same time, he had to face the rebellion of the fierce Fan Han in the border areas that were constantly chasing chaos in Shuozhou.

One night in late June, the 10,000 Khitan cavalry and 40,000 tribal coalition forces led by Yelu Sassai to capture Huairen City south of Yunzhou, and quickly reached Yingcheng on the south bank of Sanggan River and at the foot of Longshou Mountain. The Hu people only received news from the city when they arrived thirty miles away from Yingcheng.

At this time, the general responsible for staying at this logistics base was Zhang Yu, the son of Zhang Zimian. He was a young general, in his early twenties, but he had the courage and strict manners of his father. He heard the news from the outside that the Hu army had arrived and was not afraid of the danger. He immediately ordered Jincheng and Sangang and four towns on the outside to close their doors immediately.

Jincheng was once a base camp built by Shatuo people, and it is located in the center of Yunshuowei.

At this time, the vanguard of Yelu Sassar drove to Shenwu Town in the north of the city. He was standing at the horse to observe the terrain of Shenwu Town. He saw the peaks rising from the ground and lush trees. It was like a beam standing here, with yellow flowers everywhere on the mountain. A mountain was almost in the mountains. There was a stone town standing not far behind the mountain. Each hill and town echoed each other. It was vaguely visible on the defending Guanmen City, flags were flying and guns stabbed like a forest.

Yelu Sala couldn't help but frowned, "Three gates and four towns protect Jincheng, and Wei Town Qiang and Hu Wanli were shocked! This is indeed an extremely dangerous place, but if it is, why can the Shatuo people not be able to defend it, and they are still being repeatedly attacked by the Qin army. It seems that the so-called dangerous place is just a false statement. Since the Qin army can capture them again and again, then our Khitan cavalry can do it."

Yelu Sala's ten-year-old son Yelu Abaoji held a strong bow and rode his horse on his side. He laughed and said, "Don't be surprised by the dangers of Huanghuagang and Shenwu Town. No matter how strong the Guancheng is, it must be guarded by good soldiers. Guancheng is dead and people are alive. Please see, although the flags are flying in the city, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that there are very few soldiers and horses in the city, and there is a bluff. Based on the information we have, the four cities in Jincheng are stationed in the line of Jincheng.

It is just ten thousand Qin army auxiliary soldiers, and Jincheng only has half of five thousand auxiliary soldiers. The leader is still a son of Zhang Zimian. The young general and weak soldiers, even if they guard the strong city of the pass, what are you afraid of? With tens of thousands of warriors, we will definitely be able to break the pass in one fell swoop. Yingcheng is now the Qin army's logistics base, where food, grass and weapons are all there, and even the Qin people's headaches will definitely have a lot of firearms. Father, what are you waiting for, order the warriors to solve the problem immediately!"

At this time, an emergency military meeting was being held in the temporary guard general's mansion of Tianwang Temple in Jincheng.

Zhang Yu, whose courtesy name is Daozhi, was only twenty years old this year, but he has been a veteran who has been following Zhang Zimian for many years. Although he is now commanding only a group of auxiliary soldiers, the auxiliary soldiers of the Qin army have always been known for their fierceness and good combat. Many times, auxiliary soldiers only mean that they come from Tuanjie Battalion, the village soldiers or the academic army, not that they have poor combat effectiveness. In fact, many auxiliary soldiers are even far beyond the combat effectiveness of the army of many vassal states.

Zhang Yu has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and studied military books and war books. Although he is only twenty years old this year, he is actually still the title of martial arts scholar and has also won the top ten in the entire vassal examination in the Qin vassal. He started to go to the battlefield with his father at the age of fifteen and has fought for five years. In the battle to wipe out Wang Xianzhi, Wang Xianzhi's head was won by him personally, and he can be regarded as a young hero.

After receiving the news of the Hu army's invasion, Zhang Yu was not afraid at all, but thought in his heart that the Hu people were coming just in time. He was left here by his father with auxiliary soldiers, managing logistics and logistics dispatch, and escorting the prisoners. This was really a boring and boring job for him. Now that the Hu people came to him, it was a good time for him to show his skills and make achievements. He is still only holding a title of viscount, which is too low.

Some, you should know, the one who was praised by the Zijun newspaper a few days ago is only fifteen years old this year, but the King of Qin has issued a special commendation and promotion order, and has been promoted to Dingyuan Marquis. Although this is only a county marquis, at the age of fifteen, he was awarded the title of marquis at the 15th. What a great honor. In short, Guo Tao has almost become the first person in the young generation. He is really an enviable little guy.

To be honest, he did not think he was worse than Guo Tao. In the court, he was also an "enemy of thousands of people" with great military achievements. He was also the duke of Shouchun County Duke granted by the emperor. However, after entering Qin, his father did not allow him to take out the title of this duke. Therefore, in the Qin vassal state, because there was no outstanding performance, he, the county duke of the court, was only ranked as the opening of the title of the new title of the Qin vassal state. However, in terms of ability, he was definitely far superior to that little devil, and even the disciples of the King of Qin, he thought he would never be bad. The only thing he lacked was the opportunity to make contributions.

The attendees included several auxiliary soldiers' wing chiefs, commanders, etc.

Logistics staff officer Zhang Luo first analyzed the situation between the enemy and us at this time. The Hu people had 50,000 troops, and according to the investigation, there were 10,000 Khitan cavalry, and then 40,000 tribal soldiers and horses. There were only 5,000 soldiers and horses in Jincheng, and they were all auxiliary soldiers. Most of them were infantry. Only Zhang Yu had a battalion of cavalry under his command, known as the powerful brigade. Unfortunately, there were too few people.

"Although there are three thousand, we still have to guard three gates and four towns, and Jincheng is eight gates and cities. If we separate, there are too few troops. But if we give up the three gates and four towns on the periphery, the Hu people will go straight in, and Jincheng is probably difficult to defend." Although the logistics staff also had the title of staff, he was actually responsible for logistics dispatch, which was equivalent to a accountant. He had no problem with letting him deal with the money and grain figures. But it was difficult for him to hold on to the Hu army ten times more than he had. In fact, during this period, Zhang Luo had been scared and was a logistics staff member as a scholar. This was the first time he encountered a war, and it was such a big battle. From the morning to the present, he was still in shock.

"Staff Secretary Zhang, don't panic." The young general Zhang Yu smiled. He had been through the battlefield for a long time and believed that it was the opportunity for him to display his talents. "Now, open the treasury. While distributing swords and guns, the same as giving out silver and money. All prisoners and their families in Jincheng are not rebelled and criminal prisoners and their families. All men under fifty and over fifteen will be arranged and divided into several shifts to defend the city. As long as they are willing to assist in defending the enemy, no matter whether they have any relationship with the Shatu people in the past, they will not blame them. At the same time, all those who are in the city will be rewarded with five hundred dollars a day and a bucket of grain. If they can kill the enemy, each of them will be rewarded with five stakes of money at each head. The more they kill, the more they will be rewarded. There must be brave men under the heavy reward. With this new city and four towns, there are many residents of the Fanhan Han Dynasty, and it is absolutely no problem to raise 10,000 yuan per 10,000 yuan."

Zhang Luo was always a little worried about Zhang Yu, the main general. He was too young, a few years younger than his son, especially with that handsome white face. If he changed his armor and put on a robe, he would actually look more like a scholar. Especially when he saw that he was not panicked at all, he felt that his destiny was even more worrying.

"The general has a very good idea, but although this generation of northern people are all strong and capable of fighting and are born with warriors, the general should not forget that this was once the old nest of Shatu people. These people are looking forward to Shatu. If they mutiny at the time and fight back, wouldn't we be worse?"

"This place was indeed the old nest of Shatu people in the past, but don't forget that the King of Qin once captured this place and brought the vast majority of Shatu people to the Qin vassal. Later, the three tribes of Datong occupied this place, and they were never polite to the Shatu people. Although after Li Siyuan conquered Datong, many Shatu people and the foreign and Han border residents returned here, my father and commander attacked here for seven days and seven nights, killing tens of thousands of people who tried to defend Shatu's nest. Now the rest are still in our prisoner-of-war camp.

As for the others, since they did not fight us last time, I don’t think they will still be enemies with us this time. Although our situation is a little nervous, don’t forget that my father and commander will soon lead their troops back to the rescue, and the King of Qin has decided to lead their troops to Daibei in person. Therefore, you don’t have to worry. On the contrary, I think this is an excellent opportunity. As long as we can hold on, then, you guys, your future will be unlimited!"

"Will the soldiers from Sangang and Four Towns withdraw back?"

Zhang Yu chuckled and shook his head: "No, we will not only not withdraw the troops from Sangang and Four Towns, but also transfer all the soldiers from Jincheng and the newly recruited soldiers to Sangang and Four Towns."

"What?" The commanders and commanders present could not believe this.

Zhang Yu smiled and explained, "We are not going to fight the enemy to the end, we just need to hold on until reinforcements arrive. However, the three gates and four towns in Jincheng are the best peripheral barriers. The Hu people come south and have strong field battles, but when it comes to attacking cities and camps, they are outsiders. We defend by relying on the dangers and guarding seven gates, which can not only disperse the enemy's army, but also better play the advantages of the three gates and three towns. Fighting with the Hu people will naturally be able to do their best. If we want to fight against each other, we will fight against them. If we directly give up Guancheng and retreat to Jincheng, this is undoubtedly an initiative to give up our advantages. This is something that wise people will not do."

"But will this be defeated by each one?"

"No, this is called reasonable dispersal of pressure. Don't forget that in addition to our Jincheng, the people facing the Hu people this time must also face the three cities of Yingcheng, Hunyuan and Heyin. We are like nails firmly nailed on the way to the Hu people to go south. If they want to go over, they have to pull up one by one." Zhang Yu sneered, "But these nails are so easy to pull out? Each nail is a solid castle and village. The Hu people who are in a hurry are not good at siege. Wait, we must give the Hu people a deep lesson this time so that they don't always think that war is such a simple thing!"

After fighting for so many years, Zhang Yu has become more experienced. The advantage of the Hu people is mobility and their field combat ability. But if you avoid fighting with the Hu people in the field, and fighting offensive and defensive battles with them, the Hu people will have no advantage at all.

If the Hu people did not divide their troops to attack various Guanzhai, but instead concentrated their tens of thousands of troops to attack the Guanzhai, although there would be dangers of breaking each one by one, the Hu people would have to spend more time to pull out nails. Zhang Yu believed that the Hu people would never have enough time to pull out all the nails, because he firmly believed that the Qin army of the Qin army was coming quickly.
