The King of the Imperial Palace looked at Mengba. Mengba understood it and immediately pointed to the map on the table and said, "Ah Hui was evacuating Luoma City late at night on September 19th. In order to speed up the retreat, he must have abandoned a large amount of baggage. But even so, considering that the soldiers fought for a long time, exhausted, and injured, and the mountain roads were difficult to travel, they could travel more than a hundred miles a day. In this way, they could reach the Shide Tribe's capital in three days, on September 22nd.

Qijin Mountain, get food and grass replenishment, and then continue to rush. If everything goes well, you can arrive at Sanhui City, the important city of the southeast in September 26th. From Sanhui to the Xiwang Mansion, it will be about 400 miles. During this period, you will have to cross two rivers, Wudu River and Wuli River. Therefore, even if Ah Hui is worried, traveling day and night, and galloping without sleep, it will take three days. In other words, under normal circumstances, Ah Hui should withdraw from the Xiwang Mansion on September 29th."

Today is September 23rd. If Ah Hui withdraws the Xi Palace on September 29th, then Li Fengyun will have six days to attack the Xi Palace, but it will take two days to go south from the Guifang to go south to the Xi Palace. After this calculation, Li Fengyun will only have four days to attack the Xi Palace at most.

Li Fengyun thought for a moment and asked, "How many defenders are there in King Xi's Mansion? Who is the garrison of Fangcheng?"

"The Xi Palace has six thousand defenders, including four thousand horses and two thousand infantry. The guard is Ah Huizheng's son Ah Changsheng, and the assistant is Feng Hong, the chief of the Xi Palace." Mengba said without hesitation, "However, during the Ah Huizheng expedition, in order to ensure the safety of the Xi Palace, all the populations of Qiege and Mohefu on both sides of the Suotoushui were concentrated in Fangcheng and its surrounding areas. In addition, some Han surnames in Anzhou also live in the city. Therefore, if temporarily conscripted in critical moments, the Xi Palace can also gather thousands of people to defend the city in the shortest time."

"In this way, we cannot attack forcibly. One is not sure of one blow, and the other is that even if we take it, we will lose our troops and lose our generals. It will be difficult to defeat Ah Huizheng." Li Fengyun hesitated for a moment and said without hesitation, "The soldiers are never tired of deceit. If you want to easily take down the Xi Wang Mansion, you have to rely on your humiliating King's tribe."

Yun and Mengba and his son looked at each other, and a hint of shock flashed across their eyes. It was obvious that Li Fengyun had already thought of a plan to attack the city, and the key to this plan was "deception", which coincided with their father and son's plan to attack the city. Li Fengyun was indeed powerful.

On the afternoon of September 23, Yanshan, north of Gubeikou Great Wall, the two sides of the Baoqiu River suddenly burst into smoke. The terrifying alarm sounded echoed between the mountains and ridges with the wind, and the killing aura soared into the sky.

The Xi defenders of Panlong Fort were calm and not nervous, and seemed to be used to it. It was no wonder. However, the caravans of large and small stationed at the foot of Panlong Mountain were "exploded". All merchants, guards and servants rushed out of the tent in a swarm, panicked, shouted, led horses, pulled carts, carried shoulders, and backs, and even drove cattle, sheep and livestock to Panlong Fort like a tide.

The crowds have not stopped, and the gate of Panlong Castle has been opened, allowing the caravan to rush into the fort.

The guardian of Panlong Fort Ahh Al-Hahara and Tara stood on the city wall, looking at the rivers and forests in the distance, looking for enemies.

During this period, with the "hot" of Gubeikou border city, the bandits and bandits hiding in Yanshan suddenly became active, frequently robbed and killed repeatedly, which not only affected the trade in the border towns, but also endangered the safety of the border towns. Previously, the garrison chief of the southwest border and Su Zhi personally stayed in Panlong Fort, with a large number of troops. He organized manpower to escort caravans to kill bandits many times, which was quite effective. However, recently, the horse thieves on the Bashang Plateau also roared out and even formed a coalition force to attack the cities and camps, burned and killed and plundered, which once cut off the connection between Baitan City and Prince Xi’s Mansion, the southwest capital, and seriously affected the internal security of Xi. So Su Zhi had to take some troops away from Panlong Fort and rushed to Baitan City to kill the horse thieves on the Bashang Plateau.

The defense power of Panlong Castle was weakened, while the bandits and bandits in Yanshan were arrogant again, but the situation changed at this moment. Because the thieves on both sides of Baitan City and Dayao River were too rampant, the road to King Xi's mansion had been interrupted, resulting in a large number of caravans stranded in Panlong Castle. Panlong Castle is a garrison fortress, so of course the caravans are not allowed to live in the fort. The merchants had no choice but to build tents on the Baoqiu Water at the foot of Panlong Mountain. In this way, they became the prey of bandits and would be robbed and killed by bandits if they were not careful.

Fortunately, there are border defense fronts, with many garrisons, beacon towers, and post stations. Even if Panlong Fort has insufficient defense forces, from a security perspective, it still has to withdraw some of its troops to take the responsibility of observation and alertness, and by the way, it can also help the caravans to guard the bandits in the old forest of Yanshan Mountain. From then on, as soon as the bandits emerge, the bandits' traces fall into the eyes of the border guards, and immediately roar into the sky, smoke rolls, and the police roars, and then the caravans at the foot of Panlong Mountain rushed into the fort to take refuge.

But you have Zhang Liang's plan. I have a wall ladder. The bandits have tried their best to plunder money and property, racking their brains and using all means to do everything they can. As a result, although the Panlong Fort garrison army did their best and did their best, they were still unable to guard against it. The caravans were still attacked and killed repeatedly, and their property was still robbed repeatedly. Even some scouts, beacon soldiers, and post generals of the garrison army were brutally killed. Both sides fought back and forth, fighting with equal battles.

However, the situation today is a little different. There are more and more smoke from the distance, getting closer and closer, and half of the sky is getting dark. The sound of the whistle and alarm sounds are also coming from far to near, one after another. It can be seen that the bandits and bandits are quickly approaching Panlong Fort. Under normal circumstances, there should be a group of scouts and bell soldiers running back and quickly retreating into the fort to ensure safety. However, until now, no scouts and bell soldiers have been seen.

Ahh Al He Chu Tara looked grim and anxious. As time passed, the two of them were anxious and even more ominous, and they were like ants in a hot pan.

At this moment, a war horse suddenly rushed into the "view" of Panlong Fort and rushed over. The soldiers who were eager to see the city wall couldn't help but cheer. Then they saw the war horses rushing along the Baoqiu Waterfront. In a blink of an eye, they had rushed to the bottom of Panlong Mountain, along the winding mountain road, and went straight to the fortress with all their might.

The two players in the fort were impatient and rushed out to respond.

On the city wall, Ah Hui'er's eyes were still staring at the distant mountains and forests, praying for other scouts to retreat, but Chu and Tara hurried down the city wall and rushed to the city gate to wait for news.

Soon the two string controls came back, one was leading a war horse that was foaming at the mouth, and the other was carrying a scout with blood stained with arrows on his back.

Chuhe Tara was angry, gritted her teeth, and was furious, "Who? Who hurts you?"

"Midearth... Horse Army... Thousands of Cavalry..." The scout looked at Tara, and said intermittently with all his strength, "Here they are here, Middle-earth people..."

"What did you say? Middle-earth people? Thousands of cavalry." Tara couldn't understand and asked the scout sternly, "Who is the enemy? Where is the enemy?"

"Mid-Earthys, Middle-Earthys, thousands of cavalry..." The scout suddenly opened his eyes wide and said with all his last bit of strength, "Mid-Earthys." Then he died in exhaustion.

Middle-earth people? Tara was inexplicably unintelligible. Middle-earth people were in the south, in front of Panlong Castle, on the Great Wall several miles away, and the enemy in front of them was in the north, behind Panlong Castle. If they were Middle-earth people or horsemen with thousands of cavalry, how could they come? They flew over with wings?

Tara ordered two stringers to place the dead scouts, then rushed to the city wall like a flying rush, looking into the distant forest, and shouting to Ah Hui Al who was walking towards him, "The scout was killed in an arrow. Before his death, he said that the enemy was a Middle-earth man and there were thousands of cavalry."

Ah Hui Al immediately stopped, and the expression on his face instantly froze. Absurd and nonsense, the Middle-Turkish army is on the Great Wall of Gubeikou, and there are still several miles away from Panlong Fort, and there are hidden whistles on the road. If there is any movement, the smoke will be rolling. How could the enemy in front of us be the Middle-Turkish army, and the horse army of thousands of cavalry?

Just as he was about to question, he saw a general from the Mukun tribe (centurion) running along the steep steps, his expression was very nervous. Before he could approach, he was already panting, "The horse army, thousands of horsemen are racing towards him."

Ah Hui Al, Chu and Tara were secretly surprised. Thousands of horsemen came? In the fortress, there were special personnel using special tools to judge the enemy situation outside the fortress based on the ground vibration conditions, such as preventing the enemy from digging tunnels. This detection tool is also effective for the horse army approaching the fortress. The vibration caused by the large number of war horses running at the same time is very strong. Experienced people can make a judgment immediately. Especially at this moment, the accuracy is unquestionable, because a scout just now rushed back and reported this incredible news.

Ah Hui Al and Chu and Tara tried to calm down. The two looked at each other, with doubts in their eyes. However, the identity of the enemy is not important now. Just know that the person coming is an enemy, and it is a powerful enemy. The most urgent task is to stick to the fortress at all costs and stand firm for help.

"Close the city gate." Ah Hui Al waved his hand hard and ordered loudly to the soldiers beside him, "Bang the drum, roar, prepare for battle!"

"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong..." The drum sounded like thunder, "Woooooooooooooo..." The horns were thunderous, and the wind and clouds were surging in an instant, and the mountains changed color.

"Boom..." The sound of galloping horses echoed between the mountains and steep pine waves, accompanied by the howling mountain wind and the surging pine waves, and gradually spread into the "ears" of Panlong Fort.

The enemy came, and it was indeed a team of thousands of cavalry. Ahh Al-Hori Chu and Tara was very nervous, and the garrisons in the fort were even more frightened, and everyone was puzzled. Where did this team come from? If it was a bandit in Yanshan, it was impossible. The bandits did not have such great strength. If it was a horse thief coalition on the Bashang Plateau, what was Chu and Su Zhi doing now? How could he let the horse thief coalition fight to Panlong Fort? Could it be Chu and Su Zhi defeated? Or was the horse thief coalition defeated by Chu and Su Zhi, and fled to Panlong Fort in a panic manner?

The roar of the galloping horses became louder and louder, and it was getting closer and closer. Suddenly, a team of control strings and slammed the horses and rushed out of the forest, and battle flags jumped into the eyes of the fortress garrison. Then everyone's eyes widened, unbelievable, the Middle-Turkish army? How is this possible?

At this moment, a terrifying cry suddenly sounded, "There has been fired, there has been fire, someone has set fire..."

Ah Hui Al, Chu and Tara turned around in horror, and saw fires rising in the fort, and the direction of the food and grass storage was even more fires soaring into the sky, thick smoke rolled, and the situation suddenly lost control.
