PS: I was suddenly taken to another place yesterday and I didn’t have time to update. I’m sorry to come back tonight!

The war horses galloped on the mountain path more than 30 miles northwest of Dingxiang City. More than 2,000 Hun knights were all solemn, and they ran wildly with excitement. The mountain paths were not taken by the official road but the mountain paths were hidden. However, more than 2,000 cavalrymen were galloping like this. Even if the paths were rare, they would not have the effect of hiding whereabouts.

What's more, the overly remote paths cannot ride horses and gallop, so the Huns' move was just an unnecessary move.

The general who led the lead was Zhao Ran, the general of the Huns, who was ordered to lead more than 2,000 cavalry to raid Dingxiang City! The defense layout of Jin State was to fight on their own and have few aid support from each other. The reason was not other than that, but because the people outside the Great Wall were strong in field battles and the Jin army could not resist it.

Using the city as a stronghold to resist the impact of the allied forces outside the Frontier was the greatest reliance for the Jin army to fight against the opponent. Therefore, the defense in the city was fully prepared, but the preparation for the support from the city was not sufficient, and there was even a rare strategy. Especially after the Huns captured Yanmen County in one fell swoop, the entire Hebei was shocked, and the guards everywhere were even more cautious.

This is also why there is only Le Guang fighting alone under Jiuyuan City in Xinxing County. Zu Ti and Huan Xuan felt that there were too few Le Guang, and the meaning was to see the disadvantages of such tactics clearly. If there were more generals like Le Guang, how could the Huns have the momentum of today?

Dingxiang is not a small city, but it is quite abundant. The Xiongnu surrounded Yuanping in Xinxing County in one breath, Yunzhong and Jinchang, and then surrounded Jiuyuan. Now they have distributed small forces to attack Dingxiang again. This has a great appetite, and at the same time, they have become extremely despised by the Jin people.

During the war between the two countries, one side dared to divide the troops and drive in so easily, which was equivalent to treating the other side as if nothing was needed, so he should take the opponent seriously?

Unable to kill Le Guang, Zhao Ran asked for the first time to capture Dingxiang City to supplement military resources. Dingxiang City is small, and there are not many defenders, so I think it must be easy to capture it. If Le Guang had not made such a move under Jiuyuan City, it would have been a good thing for the Huns army. It would only be a matter of a siege to capture the city.

If Dingxiang City can be captured, it will be a big blow to both the Jin army in Xinxing County and the reinforcements organized by the Jin State. Once a seemingly arrogant deployment is successful, multiple goals will be achieved, thereby completing the new deployment of the Hun army!!

Yanmen County is still a scenery outside the border. After entering Dingxiang, there is a view of Hebei. The horses are green and green in the mountains, with birds singing and flowers scenting. Although it is rare to be a quick mercedes, it is also very comfortable. More than 2,000 cavalrymen seem to be unprepared, but in fact, in front of the large group of people, there are nearly a hundred cavalry scouts patrolling around in a fan-shaped area to ensure early warning capabilities within a certain range.

After all, this is within the territory of Jin State, and Dingxiang's defenders are vulnerable, but if there are other reinforcements from Jin State here, it may be a tough battle. Zhao Ran enjoys his merits, but is not arrogant. As Liu Qin's favorite general Zhao Ran even fights in the enemy territory, he must act carefully.

Several scouts came towards him, and quietly turned around and continued to strode. Zhao Ran was in the front of the team and heard the news brought back by the scout, with a hesitant look on his face, and was quite surprised.

Five miles ahead of this Xiongnu cavalry, traces of the Jin army were found. Although it flashed by, the flag and personnel seemed to have a large number of troops.

Dingxiang City has only more than 2,000 people. If this force is known to the Huns' army, how could it come out to meet the enemy? Even if Dingxiang City has more than 2,000 cavalry, it will be more defeated and less victory when fighting against the Huns' cavalry. In this case, the traces of Jin's troops appearing ahead really need to be carefully considered.

As Zhao Ran thought about it, scouts rushed to the flank and found traces of the activities of the Jin army in the flank direction. However, he was unable to peek at the virtual and real situation of the Jin army in a short period of time, and he could not figure out how many troops there were. If we looked at the number of flags, it would probably be a combat force of more than 5,000 people.

"Impossible! Even if the Jin people have reinforcements, they will never know that we will launch an attack from here!" Zhao Ran frowned and said unhappily. Although he said this, he felt a little suspicious in his heart and it was difficult to make a decision for the moment.

General Yan Guidedao, the general under his command: "Don't believe it as true. Nine Yuan is the capital of this county. If reinforcements from Jin State arrive, they should not be here. I think it must be that the Jin generals set up a suspicion here and tried to scare us away."

Zhao Ran nodded slightly after hearing this, "What you said is reasonable, but how do you confirm your judgment?"

Yan Qide smiled and said, "General divided me into three hundred cavalry, and I will go to the left and right to provoke, which will definitely confirm my words." After saying this, Zhao Ran still did not agree. Yan Qide couldn't help but curse in his heart, but he still said, "General, don't worry about this. If my judgment is true credit, it is the general. If I suffer defeat in the Jin army, I am willing to bear the defeat alone and will never implicate the general."

Hearing Yan Guide's words, Zhao Ran said with a slightly soothing expression: "What do you say? How can I make you miss me? Well, let's find out what happened. I'm waiting here."

"Thank you, General!" Yan Gengde sneered in his heart, and looked very respectful on the surface.

Na Yan Guide led three hundred cavalry to the flank and discovered the location of the Jin army. He secretly scolded Zhao Ran in his heart, which was just in line with Liu Qin's appetite. He was hard to surpass the three armies in terms of martial arts, and he was not the best in the army in terms of strategy. He was only able to achieve today with Liu Qin's vigorous promotion.

He is obviously a person who is greedy for me, but he is also a timid and incompetent person. Fighting with such a person is really a headache.

Unfortunately, Liu Qin knew his intelligence, so he was assigned to Zhao Ran as his deputy. Once Zhao Ran was promoted to an official position, he would have a rise in front of Liu Qin. If there was no such relationship, he would be too lazy to take care of this nostalgic business...

About five or six miles away, the flag of the Jin army was faintly exposed in the forest. The mountain wind blew and the grass and trees were swaying gently, and the Jin army flags in large areas nearby were all looming. In such a large area, even the bravest scouts of the Xiongnu did not dare to go to find out, but they were constantly observing the location where the nearby terrain was higher.

However, the Jin army was hiding in a very good position, and there were only a few flags exposed. If you want to see it, you have to approach it. Facing a large number of Jin army, if the Huns scouts came forward to take a closer look, they would probably not have their lives to come back to report it.

Yan Guide also observed for a while before calming down, he led his army to shout and rushed over! Zhang Yang's rushing over will inevitably attract the other party's attention. Once the other party sees such a situation, he will inevitably go to fight, and this battle will reveal the truth and reality.

Yan Guide can also use the speed of the cavalry to turn around and escape before the two sides even fought. With such a unique design, if there is really a Jin army hidden in the mountains and forests, how can we not be moved?

After charging for nearly half the distance, the Jin army between the mountains and fields did not move at all, and the exposed flags were still swaying in the wind. Yan Qide raised his hand, and more than 300 riders stopped in the dust, but he didn't know what to do next.

It would be nothing to continue rushing over. If there was Yan Guide, the Jin army in the mountains, would have no chance to retreat. If there was no Jin army, I would be truly relieved.

His face changed slightly. Yan Guide led the three hundred riders to turn back to the starting point after a tidy formation. After the formation was complete, he charged and roared and rushed away!

After repeated incidents, the Jin people in the mountains and fields were always indifferent. Yan Qide led his army to rush over in one go. When he saw that the Shanjie was just a flag standing, Yan Qide couldn't help but curse: "The people of Jin are so cunning. Come with me to see another place!"

From Dingxiang to Jiuyuan, as soon as you enter the Dingxiang boundary, there are many small roads and mountains, and many places with large numbers of Jin flags. This is one of the combat plans of Zu Ti and Huan Xuan, which is to doubt the military plan. No matter whether you come or not, whether you come from the Huns, you will start to doubt the gods and ghosts as long as you enter the Dingxiang boundary.

The so-called way of using troops is to be virtual and real, which means that when you think it is real, it is actually virtual, but when you think it is virtual, it is real. A mistake in judgment not only affects the continuous judgment, but also will ruin the good situation of the army.

Even if the Huns' cavalry made the right judgment, they were still scared and angry all the way. Although this result did not have substantial damage, it was still effective for slaughtering the enemy's aura.

In the mountains east of Dingxiang City, there were powerful people gathered in the mountains and forests, gathering more than a thousand people to rob their families and make a living, which was very domineering.

Zu Ti took his younger brother Zu Yue and more than 80 tribe members to cross mountains and ridges and headed towards the bandits' nest! Zu Ti had already planned for these bandits for a long time, but now the seemingly dangerous line is actually confident.

There was no hidden whereabouts or swords and weapons. When he found hundreds of bandits holding weapons near the mountain village, he was surprised by the army with less than 100 people. What happened to the Dingxiang official army? Do you want to use less than 100 men to wipe out the nest of thousands of people here?

"I am Zu Ti, the lieutenant of Dingxiang County, and I am here to visit the leader of Guishan. I hope I will recommend it." Zu Ti was wearing iron armor, with a long bow on his back, a short quiver on his waist, and a straight body standing in front of hundreds of bandits without any fear, making him look even more heroic!

"It's too much fun for the little county magistrate to see my king! Leave your armor and weapons and let you live a life is the real thing! Hahahaha!" A man with a ferocious face in the crowd laughed, with a sarcastic look on his face, and his eyes were faintly shining, as if he was very envious of Zu Ti's high-quality armor.

Hundreds of bandits burst into laughter and cheered when they heard this, but they felt a little embarrassed when they laughed. The laughing deputy standing in the middle stood with a smile on his lips, and was not annoyed at the ridicule of the mockery and insults. The bright glare in his eyes made people feel that there was an indescribable chill in his heart.

The eighty men behind Zu Ti were all cold in their faces, standing in one place, forming a faint sense of formation, and a slutty aura continued to sweep towards the whole audience with the wind.

This is the murderous aura on the battlefield!

The bandits who have had experience in the battlefield clearly felt the other party’s bad habits. Most of the more than a thousand bandits here were former Jin soldiers, and a few were robbers who had already robbed their families. With such an attitude and feeling, they seemed to have returned to the battlefield and returned to the era of serving the country. It made people tremble in their hearts, and they couldn’t help but lose their smiles and felt a little heavier.

The laughter came to an abrupt end, and Zu Ti still smiled with his hands behind his back, "I am going to see Zu Ti, the magistrate of Dingxiang County, and I hope to pass on the post."

The man with a ferocious face was already angry when he saw everyone's reaction. At this moment, he saw Zu Ti's smile and said even more, "You guy look for...ah!"

A scream came suddenly! An arrow as fast as lightning, even more unexpected!!

The people present could see clearly. Just when the man was about to speak evilly, Zu Ti, who was standing in the field, took off the longbow behind him, pulled out the arrow from his waist, and shot the man's throat with one arrow! It was beyond people's expectations that he dared to act like this under the disparity of the crowd, but what was even more shocked was that he clearly looked at the other party's series of actions, but he had no time to stop it!

The opponent's movements are as fast as a ghost, and the opponent's movements are still so clear! If this arrow is shot at him, may he avoid it?

The sound of pulling out weapons was endless. The man who led the lead was so fierce that he was terrified when he died. As soon as he saw a melee, he was about to begin!

"In the lower Zu Ti, he is the magistrate of Dingxiang County, and asks to see the Lord of Guishan! That brother ran around and spread it all over, and Zu Ti is very grateful!" Behind Zu Ti, the long bow was back on his back at some point, and the smile on his face remained the same.

The murderous aura rose from behind Zu Ti. Although Zu Yue did not move, he and the nearly a hundred men who came with him all felt a sense of death!

Zu Ti glanced over everyone present with a smile, or every bandit felt that Zu Ti looked at him, and could not understand the meaning of his eyes, or the meaning of that sweep, but he felt vaguely in his heart that he should understand something.

The swords and guns in his hand were still being held up, but facing this young Jin general standing behind his hands, no one dared to take the lead in chopping and killing, which was really surprising.

Several people in the crowd quietly retreated, but they could not hide it from Zu Ti's eyes. Zu Ti took a few steps forward slightly and said to the thieves holding swords and guns, "Zu Ti knew that all brothers are good men of my Great Jin Dynasty. Some once sprinkled blood on the battlefield, some once killed generals and made meritorious contributions, and some people lost their relatives. Being a bandit is a temporary solution, but now the barbarians outside the border have made a comeback, and Ji Han from the Central Plains is eyeing him. The country is the time to use people. Don't you want to make achievements, so do you leave your name in history? "

"The court has abandoned us long ago, don't show off here!" Someone in the crowd said disdainfully, as if such remarks were commonplace.

Seeing that there were many thieves present responding, Zu Ti sighed slightly in his heart, but said with a smile: "A man is born in a chaotic world and should make achievements! Even if he has no worries about food and clothing in this forest, he is surrounded by barbarians. Can he survive the difficulties?"

It is one thing to think about making meritorious and living a good life, but no one is willing to be a slave to the barbarians. If these people were really slack, they would not have gathered together in the mountains and forests to become bandits. When Zu Ti said this, the thieves' doubts suddenly decreased. The people who didn't speak were pondering, and they were still thinking in the noisy heart that the young Jin general was telling the truth and there was no trick.

"Yanmen fell, Jiuyuan was in danger, and Dingxiang was invaded soon. Everyone was a Han Chinese and a people of Jin. At this moment, we should unite against the enemy and fight against the enemy together! For the people of our Great Jin, for my parents, wife and daughter, for my brothers and sisters, for the glory of our military men! Which is not worth your return to the army? Which is worth your wasting time here?"

The thieves present here were silent. It was not how wonderful Zu Ti said, but what Zu Ti said was too real and the reality was too shocking. What kind of person is Hu Fen, the governor of Yanmen County? The thieves who were once a member of the Jin army naturally knew that now that Yanmen has lost, Jiuyuan, the capital of this county, is also in danger. How should the thieves in Dingxiang County handle themselves?

"Zu Ti knew that everyone was not willing to be ordinary, so he gathered here in anger. Now is a great time to return to the ranks. Don't you want to seize this opportunity, but be willing to watch the elders of Hebei being trampled by barbarians and see their families being destroyed by barbarians?" Zu Ti had already come to the thieves while speaking. The thieves unconsciously made way and listened to the young man's words in his heart.

"What a saying is willing to be ordinary, the country's army is useless. What can I do with more than a thousand brothers?" hundreds of people arrived behind the crowd. One of them was magnificent in figure and asked loudly!

The Huns Iron Cavalry under Dingxiang City was very depressed. There were a large number of fortifications outside this small county town to hinder the advancement of the Iron Cavalry. The excited surprise attack on Dingxiang was useless, not because of the unexpected alert state of Dingxiang City, but even if it caused the effect of the surprise attack, it was because the existence of a large number of fortifications could not advance to the city or even the city in one fell swoop, and the result of the surprise attack was achieved.

This is a depressing thing for the Huns cavalry who were cautious all the way and delayed for a long time by the Jin people's suspicion of military strategy. For Zhao Ran, who was very careful in his skills, was delayed for a long time by the Jin people's suspicion of military strategy, struggled countless times in his heart, and was bent on credit, he became inexplicably irritable...

However, no matter how powerful you are, you cannot cross these fortifications to attack Dingxiang City. Even if the fortifications are demolished, siege with cavalry is nothing more than something that a madman can do.

Zhao Ran and Yan Guide discussed it and decided to set up camp near Dingxiang, gather people, and act like a long siege. At the same time, they sent people to the city to persuade them to surrender, but secretly sent people to return outside Jiuyuan City to ask for troops to support.

After all, Dingxiang City is very small. After all, there are very few Jin troops in the city. As long as infantry comes to support the siege, I believe that the contribution will be stable without any effort to capture Dingxiang City.

General Huan Xuan of Jin State urged the soldiers and civilians in the city to be on guard and prepare for combat. Seeing more than 2,000 Xiongnu cavalry dared to set up camp, Huan Xuan was angry and laughed. But he also understood very well that the Huns had endless troops behind them. Once the opponent came to reinforcements, it was hard to say how far his city could be defended.
Chapter completed!
