Ding County.

The sky is clear and the autumn mood is refreshing.

On the top of the city gate, there are two flags, "Wu" and "Dragon". Because there is no wind, they are hung up.

However, the soldiers standing guard or patrolling in the city were in high spirits, and everyone was very alert. In the last battle with the Mongolians, the guards of Ding County worked very hard.

Veterans who have experienced bloody battles know that peace is hard to come by.

New recruits follow veterans, and of course they learn from each other.

All in all, the tens of thousands of soldiers commanded by Long Qie were very motivated to fight.

In the main hall of the Colonel's Mansion in the city.

Long Qie was wearing heavy armor and was sitting on the main seat with a big horse and a golden sword. Standing in front of him was one of his close soldiers.

"Go and give this to General Guan Jinhan. Remember, you must hand it over to General Guan Jinhan with your own hands. Then you can find a way to escape on your own."

"If you don't get away, he will definitely kill you."

Long Qie picked up the small box on the coffee table, handed it to the soldier, and gave instructions carefully.

"Don't worry, Lieutenant Colonel. I know how powerful I am." The soldier responded solemnly, reached out and took the small box, bent down and walked away.

With a "clang" sound, Long Qie pulled out the steel knife from his waist, held it upright in front of his eyes, stretched out his left hand and lightly touched the blade, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Xiong Wuwo. Do you feel it? The murderous aura filling the air."

............

Huping County.

In the main hall of the Guerrilla General's Mansion, Guan Jinhan was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, with Long Qie's soldiers standing in front of him, holding a small box in his hand.

He carefully opened the box and took out a piece of silk. A brilliant light flashed in the tiger's eyes.

"Travel day and night, take the small road, and rush to Shangu. Kill Wu Nian."

It’s here, it’s finally here. Cut off the head of the Liaodong tiger, just this time.

"Thank you for your hard work. Come, take this strong man down to eat and drink, and treat him well." Guan Jinhan said something to Long Qie's soldiers first, then raised his head and said loudly to the door of the house.

"Yes." A private soldier of Guan Jinhan came in from outside and walked out with Long Qie's private soldiers.

"Send someone to notify Huang Hu and gather troops immediately."

"Our troops will assemble immediately and travel lightly."

Guan Jinhan immediately stood up and gave the order loudly. Soon after, he got on his horse and headed to the north of the city surrounded by his own soldiers.

Ten thousand elite soldiers were all used intensively by him.

Defending the city or not is no longer important. Killing Wu Nian is the most important. The Liaodong Tigers are powerful.

If you want to kill the Liaodong tiger, no matter how many soldiers you have, it will not be enough.

What's more, including Long Qie, they only number 30,000 people.

Guan Jinhan first met up with Huang Hu, and then together they moved quietly along a path rarely visited by travelers, traveling day and night, heading straight for Shan Valley.

They did not bring any food or supplies, and each soldier only brought enough dry food for seven days. The march was very fast.

The determination to intercept Wu Nian was very decisive.

But Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu didn't know that their actions had been monitored by Wu Nian. In terms of the spies' arrangements, Wu Nian was very powerful.

In addition, there is mental arithmetic but no intention.

Looking at the sea and the mountains.

Wang Gui led thousands of elite soldiers and set up camp on the plains. During this period, he not only defended this important mountain peak, but also trained his elite soldiers, with remarkable results.

The soldiers were fattened and strong, and their morale was high.

Inside the Chinese military tent.

Wang Gui was sitting on the handsome seat, with a panting spy standing in front of him.

"The time has come for the lion to open his mouth." Wang Gui looked happy and stood up. Then he called in a soldier and ordered: "Take this brother down to rest. Send another order."

"Prepare food, grass, baggage, and siege equipment, and send troops to attack Huping County and Lin County tomorrow. In addition, the camp will be closed tightly. Soldiers are only allowed to enter, not to leave. To prevent the news from leaking."

"yes."

The soldier promised in a loud voice, and immediately led the panting spy down, and encouraged: "Brother, thank you for bringing the news. Just hold on, you will have enough food and drinks."

"Yeah." The spy hummed, but he didn't have the energy to speak. In order to deliver the news quickly, he rushed back day and night.

On that day, Wang Gui's military camp was on alert and the camp gates were closed. Early the next morning, the soldiers in Wang Gui's camp cooked food. After breakfast, under the command of Wang Gui, they brought enough baggage, food and grass to attack the city.

equipment, and sent troops to attack the remaining two county towns in Guangchuan Prefecture.

Huping County, Lin County.

These two counties are right next door. After Wang Gui set out, he entered the territory of Huping County.

At this moment, the autumn harvest has been completed. Wang Gui's army marched straight towards Huping County along the road. It was surrounded by empty fields.

The soldiers are illustrious and the flags are majestic, clearly visible at a glance.

"Look. That's Wu Nian's army!!!!"

"It's true. Hurry, go back to the county and report!!!!"

The common people along the way watched the excitement. Wu Nian did not kill ordinary people, and military discipline was strict, so they were not afraid of Wu Nian's army.

Some wealthy families who were interested in Chu and Han, or scholars who were out for fun, immediately went back to report Wang Gui's army after seeing it.

It's a pity that the guard general of Huping County, the guerrilla general Guan Jinhan, has been away for two days. Even if we send people to move reinforcements now, they can't come back.

There were not a single soldier in the city, only two to three hundred government officials and a civilian magistrate.

These government officials were actually men. They actually closed the city gate and stood on the city wall, preparing to use their mantis arms as chariots.

"Ta-ta-ta!!!!"

Soon, Wang Gui's army appeared on the horizon, spread out, and formed an offensive formation. After arriving at the city gate.

A fast horse galloped out of Wang Gui's army formation. The cavalry on the horse raised his head and shouted: "People in the city, listen."

"Guan Jinhan has fallen into the scheme of General Fu Han, and I'm afraid he will die in Yingqing Mansion. Now you are just an empty city. If you are sensible, open the city gate quickly. We, General Fu Han, will only kill Mongolians, not Han people. We don't care about counties.

The order, the county magistrate, the officials, the yamen servants, and the people in the city are all not to be killed."

The cavalry were galloping back and forth outside the range of the archers, shouting to persuade them to surrender.

All the police officers in the city were shocked and frightened after hearing this.

"What should I do? Has General Guan really fallen into the trap?"

"It's possible. The general is not in the city right now."

"Should we surrender? If we surrender, what should we do if General Xiong comes back and holds us accountable for surrendering?"

The government officials were like headless flies, anxiously circling all over the floor.

"The county magistrate ran away. The county magistrate took his family and ran away from the west of the city." Suddenly, a government official rushed up the city wall and said breathlessly.

Come on.

There's nothing more to say.

The county magistrate has run away, so why should we guard the ball?

"Hurry, open the city gate quickly and welcome General Fu Han's army to come in." A head catcher raised his hands and shouted.

After a while, the city gate was opened. The government officials lined up in two rows and came out to surrender.

Wang Gui captured Huping County without spending a single soldier.

Under the banner with the character "王", Wang Gui is riding on a horse, with his head held high and full of momentum.

This is to be expected and is nothing to be proud of.

"Instruct Zhang Qianhu to lead his troops into the city and garrison them. The rest of the troops follow me to Lin County." Wang Gui ordered loudly.

"yes."

The soldiers responded loudly and hurriedly went down to deliver the order. Soon after, Zhang Qianhu led his soldiers and entered Huping City.

"Let's go." Wang Gui gave the order and led the army straight to Lin County. At noon the next day, he robbed Lin County.

He still left one soldier from a thousand households to guard Lin County. Then he led the remaining eight soldiers from a thousand households and pursued them along the mountain road where Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu had walked.

Wang Gui, Long Qie, Zhang Jin, Liu Wu, and three thousand-household horse infantry led by Wu Nian, with a total of 40,000 to 50,000 troops, surrounded Guan Jinhan and Huang Hu.
