"Master Han, it's less than half an hour before dawn—"
Xie Ze looked at Han Yu with a serious expression, and the two sword eyebrows were tightly knit together.
After one night, the closest distance between them and the enemy was less than a quarter of an hour, but the enemy was cunning, and they forced the gap. The enemy seems to have calculated everything and can always escape at the most critical moment. Obviously close in front of you, but in the end, you can't catch it.
As Yang Si himself said, Han Yu is still too gentleman, and he really suffers when he encounters a guy like Yang Si who is facing the wind and waves.
Not to mention the obsession, the operation is even more suffocating.
"Less than half an hour?"
Han Yu raised her head to look at the night, and blinked her dry and dehydrated eyes until she forced her natural tears, which made her feel better.
After staying up all night and chasing the enemy with the army, this was a big burden for Han Yu.
Xie Ze said, "Calculate the distance, they should be able to reach the border of Qichuan Plain before dawn."
At this time, the night has become much lighter, the visibility is much higher than before, and the difficulty of rushing has also decreased.
"Qichuan Plain?"
Xie Ze sighed, "This time I miscalculated, I shouldn't wait for the night to attack."
Han Yu said helplessly, "The soldiers under Liu Xi's tent are not comparable to ordinary elites. If you choose to fight head-on, it is not difficult to keep 10,000 people, but the loss is not small. If you kill a thousand enemies, you will lose 800. How could the lord agree to a life-for-life deal?"
Han Yu has never seen Jiang Pengji's elite combat strength with his own eyes, but according to his analysis, he can definitely be called the elite of the world.
If Jiang Pengji didn't even have this confidence, how would he dare to tear Xu Pei apart after tearing up Beijiang and the Meng family
"Let the dragon go into the sea, and the tiger will return to the mountain." Xie Ze's eyes flashed a dignified look, "There must be endless troubles."
Han Yu snorted softly and said, "It's not that there is no way to stop them—"
Yang Si toyed with him all night, if he didn't find some ground, wouldn't it be obvious to others.
"The Qichuan Plain is a good place."
Xie Ze was confused and didn't understand what was good about this place in Qichuan Plain.
Yang Sidao, "When you mention Qichuan Plain, what is the first thing Xie Xiaowei thinks of?"
Xie Ze was originally from Huan Nian, and he was considered to be half a northerner.
However, just speaking of the Sugawara Plain—
"Qichuan Tu Qiang?"
"Exactly." Han Yu said, "Yang Jingrong dug a hole for himself and jumped into it unknowingly."
"Where did this talk come from?"
Han Yu replied, "The slaughter of Qiang in Qichuan is about the past of the Qiang Wu clan's 500,000 vine armored soldiers being buried in the Qichuan Plain before the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty. I don't know, but Captain Xie knows the details of the war?"
Xie Ze's knowledge of "Qichuan Tu Qiang" is limited to historical books.
"Is there any other inside story?"
"It's not an inside story, it's just a bit more detailed," Han Yu said. "The historical records are correct, but they are too brief. The Qiang Wu people are the ancestors of the northern Xinjiang. Hands. Their advantage lies in speed. Prime Minister Huangfu pretended to be invincible several times and sacrificed the lives of 20,000 soldiers to make the Qiang Wu people get carried away and lose their stability, so they were introduced into the Qichuan Plain. This is just one of a series of tricks If our army's news is not as good as the Qiang Wu cavalry, the Qiang Wu cavalry will be able to assemble and break through. To avoid this, the Prime Minister built a secret beacon tower in Qichuan Plain one step ahead."
"After the world was settled, these beacon towers were demolished and abandoned." Han Yu said with a sneer, "Two years ago, Yang Jingrong formed an alliance with the lord on behalf of his lord Liu Xi. For the sake of the overall situation, the lord and Duke Wen joined forces to fight against At that time, Wu Masheng, the governor of Hu County, also hit Qichuan Plain at that time. Yang Jingrong mentioned the beacon tower and restarted the abandoned beacon tower for the transmission of information between the two places—"
Xie Ze opened his eyes slightly and vaguely guessed what Han Yu wanted to do.
They couldn't catch up with Yang Si's army, but the beacon tower could pass much faster than riding a horse in the dark. Ignite the beacon tower, assemble the troops stationed in the Qichuan Plain one step ahead, or contain or attack, even if they can't annihilate Yang Si and others, they can still run away.
All this, Yang Si still doesn't know.
"It's dawn in less than half an hour—"
Yang Si rode on the horse and moved his position secretly.
After riding for a long time, my hips were numb, and the skin between my legs was sore.
"This night, I'm afraid even the seven old and eighty won't forget—"
The temperature in the mountains was quite low, Yang Si folded his hands together, and sighed into his palms, with a sleepless night on his face.
The expression is tired, but the mood is very happy.
Qin Gong smiled and said, "Thanks to the strategist's magic trick last night—"
Yang Si hummed a little tune, feeling a little dark in his heart.
"Han Wenbin, right now, must be jumping with anger."
"Before dawn, the army should be able to enter the border of Qichuan Plain." Cheng Yuan said, "According to Xu Pei's response, it will take half a day for the news to reach Qichuan. There are few troops there and the defense is not strong, so we can take advantage of it. , forcibly break through."
The Qichuan Plain is not a plain in the true sense, and there are rolling hills and criss-crossing currents on the border.
Because the terrain in this area is relatively flat as a whole, with a vast area, fertile farmland and lush green grass, it is also called Qichuan Plain.
Most of Jiang Pengji's troops were elites, and breaking through the siege on the ground would have a certain advantage for them.
Yang Si was about to respond when he saw a small orange light in the distance.
The terrain they were on at the moment was higher than Han Yu's side, so they could see it more clearly.
"What is that?" Yang Si frowned, "Si dazzled?"
The orange light flashed away, and after a while, Yang Si saw another orange light appearing.
However, the orange light did not disappear this time.
Like a relay, after a distance, the orange light lit up again—
"The military division has no dazzling eyes, that seems to be a beacon fire?"
war
Yang Si had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Looking at the direction of the beacon, it was clearly directed towards the Qichuan Plain.
Qichuan Plain, beacon fire
Beacon tower
A flash of light flashed in his mind, Yang Si suddenly remembered something, and slapped his thigh, causing the jujube red horse under his crotch to scream.
"military adviser?"
Yang Sidao, "The whole army is moving fast, if you don't leave, you will be surrounded by people."
It is one thing to be caught off guard, but another to be caught off guard.
Yang Si gritted his teeth secretly, remorseful.
If he could go back in time, he really wanted to go back a few years ago and strangle himself to death for having a bad idea.
I had nothing to do with digging a hole, and almost buried myself alive.
The beacon fire can not only be seen by one's own people, but also by the enemy.
Before the sky was completely bright, the scout found that the beacon fire in Hu County was lit, and quickly passed the news to Jiang Pengji.
"There are still people playing with the beacon?"
The backward technology in ancient times has once again refreshed Jiang Pengji's lower limit.
"Can you tell where the beacon fire is?"
As the protagonist, Jiang Pengji can complain, but Wei Ciqi, Guan Rang and others can't be so slack.
The beacon fire is not important, the important thing is that the direction of the beacon fire is in the territory of Hu County.
