On the afternoon of September 19th, Guifang City Outer Alliance Commander Camp.

Li Feng received an urgent report from the scout that he found a scout team flying from the direction of Fangcheng on both sides of the Suotoushui dozens of miles south of Guifang City. Each team had about 500 control strings. One of them went north from the west bank of Suotoushui to gradually approached Guifang, and the other went north from the east bank of Suotoushui to quickly approached Songshan.

When the Hu people fought, there were always scout teams who investigated first, ranging from dozens of cavalry to thousands of string controls, and the wind was running and electric, and they were very alert. They whistled away when there was a slight movement and would never fight. Therefore, Li Fengyun did not care and ordered the scouts to pay close attention; ordered the First Thunder Army to block the camera and prevent the enemy scout from approaching Gui Fang and Songshan; and ordered the ambushing troops to be set up, be careful to hide and not expose them. The reinforcements of the King Xi's mansion were coming soon, and prepared for an ambush.

However, if a wise man thinks a lot, there will be a mistake. Li Fengyun makes every move to make every calculation, but he has not done so. Until now, neither Guifang nor Xiwang's mansion in Fangcheng, nor Xiwang Ahuizheng and the five generals of the Xi tribe under the fallen city, they did not find that their enemies were Middle-earth people. They all mistakenly believed that their opponents were Turkic people. As a result, they made wrong judgments on the current situation and came up with wrong countermeasures.

Of course, Li Fengyun did not fail to consider this possibility, but tens of thousands of Middle-earth troops rushed into the ghost side and could not hide their traces. In addition, on the lightning field, on the flat pine forests, there were the eyes and ears of the Xi tribe everywhere, and there was no way to confuse the public or conceal the truth, so Li Fengyun directly denied this assumption.

The soldiers of the First Thunder Army were all horse thieves from the southeast of the Chi. They had already changed their clothes, and their armor and weapons were basically the same as those of the Central Turkish Army. So when they appeared on the battlefield without any concealment, the Xi tribe scouts were stunned and their eyes widened, unable to believe it. How could this be possible? How did the enemy turn from Turks to Middle-earth people? It is understandable that the Turks disguised themselves as forest horse thieves, but it is incredible to dress up as Middle-earth troops. This is impossible.

However, the army in front of us is indeed the Middle-Turkey army, and their armor, flags, heavy troops and other equipment can prove this. So the Xi tribe scouts became increasingly confused. If this army was a fake Middle-Turkey army, where did they come from? They wouldn't have fallen from the sky, right?

The Thunder Army roared, and the Xi tribe scouts turned around and ran away. One screamed like a pack of wolves and chased and blocked them from all sides, and the other panicked like a flock of sheep. The Xi tribe scouts quickly realized their reputation. Horse thieves were horse thieves. Even under the banner of the Middle-Turkish army and wearing the armor of the Middle-Turkish army, they had not undergone long-term formal training and their thief's character had not changed and they immediately revealed their true colors.

The Xi tribe scouts suddenly realized that this was a group of horse thieves dressed in military uniforms in Central China. The horse thieves could not have such a large number of military uniforms in Central China, nor could they have so many people surrounding Guifangcheng. So the facts prove that the enemy must be Turks, but the Turks have always been arrogant and arrogant. Why did they have to hide their heads and tails this time?

On September 19th, late at night, Li Fengyun received urgent complaints from the general manager Zhong Xin and Huluba. The Turkic army arrived at the Lightning River yesterday afternoon, crossed the river today, and slowly approached Taoshui. It is estimated that the attack will be launched tomorrow.

The Turks' reaction was expected by Li Fengyun. Fish and clams fought, and the fisherman gained profits. The Turks of course had to be fishermen and gained the best interests at the minimum cost. However, the greatest interests that Shibi Khan and Chi Ji did not seek were not consistent. Ashina Duna had their own interests. Before his own interests were met, he did not have much intention or motivation to prevent the Middle Earth from conquering Anzhou. It was based on this judgment that Li Fengyun only deployed 5,000 troops on the Taoshui defense line in the plain forest. He concluded that the situation in Anzhou was not clear. Before Shibi Khan and Yatani severely demanded that they protect the Xi tribe, they would not cross Taoshui, and would not attack with all their might.

Li Fengyun replied to Zhong Xin and Hu Luba. The decisive battle was about to be fought. They asked them to try their best to use the terrain advantages to block the Turks. They had no choice but to set fire. In late autumn, the grass and trees were withered and yellow, which was a good time to set fire to kill the enemy.

September 19th, late at night, Luomahe, Chifeng Jinkou.

The uncle and nephew of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of

Considering that Ah Hui and the other four main troops were preparing for a day, they would definitely evacuate quietly tonight. Tomorrow, the Khitans would definitely discover and follow and chase after him. Although Ah Hui could not hide the traces of his retreat along the Tuohe River, the Khitans were probably misunderstood as a plan to doubt the army. After all, the Xi army retreated "without the possibility of being close to the distance, so if nothing unexpected happens, the Khitans would come to Luomahe tomorrow and rush straight to Songshan. There is only one day's journey between the uncle and nephew of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the King of the Kings. The uncle and nephew must gain more time for themselves, otherwise there will be danger of being wiped out, but their strength is too weak and their means are limited. The only way at present is to destroy Jinkou and add a little difficulty to the Khitans crossing the river, that's all.

Late at night, just as the uncle and nephew of the King of the King of the Wushu was about to cross the river, Yima sent the latest urgent report from the Songshan Pass. This was an urgent case for King Xi. Others had no right to open it, but the uncle and nephew opened the urgent report without thinking. At an extraordinary moment, things were urgent, but more importantly, Ah Hui and the other four tribes sacrificed the King of the Wushuhu, who completely angered the uncle and nephew. At the critical moment of life and death, the King of the Wushuhuhuhuhu was abandoned by his brothers and brothers. This was betrayal, betrayal, and stabbed in the back. It was unbearable. Since he had turned against him and had turned against him, what else could he have to worry about? At worst, he could defeat the net.

The enemy's troops were approaching the key pass yesterday morning, but did not launch an attack. From this urgent case, we can guess the current situation in Guifang. The Turks were either attacking Guifang City, or starting to attack the key pass today, or the Chen soldiers under Guifang City, waiting for the Hui to withdraw with the Xi army. In short, the situation is deteriorating, but fortunately the key pass is still in hand. Of course, when they arrive at Songshan in two days, it is hard to say whether the key pass is still in hand. Now the only thing they can do is to whip up quickly.

The uncle and nephew burned Jinkou, cut off contact with King Xi, and even detained this urgent case. Anyway, Ah Huizheng would not rescue the Guifang, and this urgent case would be useless to send it over. But if it accidentally fell into the hands of the Khitans, it would be a disaster. This is why Meng Ba personally rushed to the city of Luoma and asked Ah Huizheng for help.

Late at the 19th night of September, King Xi, Ah Hui, led his army to evacuate. Under the cover of night, he left a large amount of food and supplies and quietly fled. He lost this battle. After more than two months of attack, the Lao Shi gained nothing. In the end, he was stabbed in the back by the Turks. The loss was too great. Although it would not be too weak, if he wanted to restore his pre-war strength, it would take several years to recuperate. However, surrounded by the great powers, the conflict between the north and the south was fierce, and the overall environment was getting worse. Who would give him time to recuperate?

Late at night on September 19th, on the west bank of Suotoushui, Li Zixiong led his army to a hurry. The soldiers rushed to the darkness. This time, they went south not to attack the city and scattered the village, but to rush to Gubeikou in the shortest time, obtain food and grass support, and strive for support from Zhuo County. Then they turned around and attacked north, echoing Li Fengyun, north and south, and attacked from front to back. Therefore, speed is the top priority. In order to achieve speed, they must first pass safely, hide their traces, keep them confidential, and for this, they must lie down at night. Of course, the hardest thing is Mi Yong and Jing Jiang Liujin Fei, who are more than a thousand horse soldiers. They rushed forward during the day to inquire about the enemy situation, pretended to be horse thieves and thieves to confuse the public, and even knocked out some annoying checkpoints in the name of burning, killing, and looting. At night, they accompanied the main force on the left and right, and were careful to be wary, and they did their best.

In the early morning of September 20, the Feather Cavalry and the Leopard Cavalry, led by the Thunder Cavalry soldiers, left the avenue, ran eastward for more than ten miles and rushed out of the valley plain, and headed straight for the dense forest. When the sun rose, all the soldiers of the alliance were hiding in the dense forest, without any noise. Generals such as Li Zixiong, Han Shiyan, Zhou Zhong, Yang Gongdao, and Lai Yuan did not rest, and gathered together to discuss the marching route at night.

"There is about forty miles away from the Xi Palace, but fortunately, the Xi Palace is located on the east bank of Sotoushui. The night before yesterday we had already crossed the river to the west bank. The distance between the river and we were careful to hide, it was enough to ensure the safety of the army." Jing Jiang Liujinfei pointed to Fangcheng on the map, and pointed it hard a few times, with a very excited expression.

In fact, the selection army went south so far. In order to avoid the northbound reinforcements from the Xi Palace, they took the path to the east bank of the Suotoushui. But on the way, the scout found a horse army roaring from the opposite side, forcing the selection army to immediately change the marching route and immediately cross the river and turn to the west bank of the Suotoushui. Later, they found that the horse army was a scout team sent by the Xi Palace, and the reinforcements from the Xi Palace have not been seen in the rear of the team.

Li Zixiong and others were quite confused, but they could also understand the "delay" of the Xi Wang Mansion. After all, King Xi Hui and the five armies have not yet withdrawn. The Xi clan is at an absolute disadvantage on the battlefield of the Ghost Side. In this case, the Xi Wang Mansion goes north with limited troops to support, which cannot change the overall situation. Instead, it puts the Xi Wang Mansion in danger. It is better to use heavy troops to garrison the Xi Wang Mansion first to ensure the safety of the Xi Wang Mansion. When A Hui and the five armies return, the Xi clan reverses the situation on the battlefield of the Ghost Side. If the Xi Wang Mansion goes to support it, it will be foolproof.

But this made the selection army cheap, and it was safe and approached Fangcheng quietly. Although it was separated by a river, it was close to the Xi Palace and was very easy to be exposed. Fortunately, the Xi tribe devoted all its efforts to this northern expedition. The whole tribe mobilized the whole tribe and the whole people were soldiers. All the Xi tribes were concentrated in the towns and surrounding areas to ensure the stability of the internal situation during the expedition. In addition to participating in this expedition, other local forces such as Han and Lu also provided a large number of civilians to help transport food and supplies for the expeditionary army. Therefore, the two sides of the Suotoushui are now sparsely populated, and remote places are even rare, which provides convenience for the selection army to hide their traces.

However, no matter how lucky you are, it cannot last long. The first goal of the Selected Front Army is Gubeikou, which is to win the support of the Youyan official and local forces. Once exposed, the Xi army will be delayed by the pace of going south and delay the time to go south, and the consequences will be serious.

"Tonight we will walk dozens of miles of mountain road first, then turn into the avenue and go straight to the Mudouling River, and the troops are facing the Rushui River." Jing Jiang Liujinfei pointed to the Rushui on the map, "If Mi Yong finds Shan Songzi and several big axes, we can cross the river south to kill Bai Tan tomorrow night. Bai Tan is an important town in the southern part of the Xi tribe, and there are heavy troops to guard us. We can rush to Gubeikou. In any case, we can't hide Bai Tan. This battle must be fought, but as long as we get the support of Shan Songzi and several big axes, we can attack the enemy unprepared and catch Bai Tan off guard."
