Tieniu didn't know what happened at Yingqing Pass. Since he left Jiang County at night, he began to take long and small routes to kill Yun County.

Although mountain roads extend in all directions, there are still great differences between big roads and small roads.

The main road can easily transport large vehicles, and it is much easier to march and fight.

It is very troublesome to transport food along small roads. Moreover, because of the long road, food supply is difficult.

Not to mention heavy siege equipment.

Puguli also sat at Yingqing Pass and had sufficient troops and supplies.

If you send people to raid the grain road, everything will be over.

Therefore, it is not impossible to bypass Yingqing Pass, but the risk of bypassing is extremely high.

Unless it is possible to capture one of the three county towns of Yunxian, Chongxian and Yaxian in an instant as a foothold.

But without heavy siege equipment, siege would be impossible.

Tieniu didn't bring much food this time, and the baggage was only at the minimum level. If there was a trap in Yun County, the probability that he could come back alive and safe was extremely low.

Soldiers are valuable and quick.

Iron Ox's marching speed is very fast.

night.

The starry sky is shining high and the moon is bright in the sky.

Under the banner with the word "iron".

Tieniu held a steed with eight feet in his hand, rode a black horse, and shouted loudly: "Speed ​​up, brothers, speed up. We must get to Yun County before dawn and set up camp."

As Tieniu's order was passed on, although the two Qianhu soldiers were very tired, they still gritted their teeth and sped up.

In this situation where soldiers are expensive and quick.

The men and horses led by Tieniu finally arrived outside Yunxian City before dawn. They built a strong camp in the south of the city.

In the camp, in front of the Chinese army's tent, Tieniu held his left hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, held his head high and looked towards the front, Yunxian City.

"All that's left is to wait. Let's see what Zhao Yanting does." Tieniu thought to himself.

At that time, Zhao Yanting only said that he would help Wu Nian capture Yuncheng. However, Zhao Yanting did not say how to capture Yuncheng. After that, the two parties did not contact each other again.

Contact is also risky.

As the saying goes.

If you don't plan things secretly, you will lose your body.

This kind of dedicating a city can only be done temporarily.

"oh!!!!"

last night.

When Tieniu built the camp, there was very little movement from the soldiers. Although the soldiers guarding Yun County City were very tight, no movement was heard.

When the rooster crowed and dawn broke, the soldiers were about to change their shifts when they discovered that a large camp had been set up outside the city.

The soldiers were frightened and immediately canceled their original routine of opening the city gate. Some soldiers immediately got off the city wall and entered the military building to report the situation.

At present, the Yunxian garrison has four thousand commanders.

One Mongolian Yuan captain of thousands is the main force, and three Han captains of thousands of households are the auxiliary force. Currently, the three Han commanders of thousands of households are divided into four groups to guard the east, south, north, and west of the city respectively.

The troops of the Mongolian Yuan Thousand Commanders were stationed in the center of the city as a back-up force.

This kind of troop deployment is not wrong, but it can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

Centurion Zhao Yanting was in the military building in the east of the city. Once Wu Nian launched an attack, the army would definitely come from the south.

Chengnan is the first to bear the brunt.

But Zhao Yanting is a smart man. He knows that when the time comes, the security in the south of the city will be very tight. On the other hand, the security on the other three sides will be looser, and the operation will be much easier.

With the energy of the Zhao family, it was easy to send him to the military building in the east of the city.

"Oooh!"

Zhao Yanting got up early, washed up, and then left the bedroom and went to the canteen, where he and the other soldiers prepared and ate together.

Although they cook together, Zhao Yanting's food is different from that of ordinary soldiers.

The Mongolians treated the soldiers from ten thousand Han households well. After all, at critical moments, soldiers from ten thousand Han households were still needed to defend the city.

Just like today's breakfast, the soldiers saw oil and water, and each person got a few pieces of meat.

Zhao Yanting had a big appetite. He made three large bowls of rice by himself, including pickled radish, pickles, five hard-boiled eggs, a large bowl of braised pork, and a large bowl of mutton soup.

After ordinary soldiers had eaten, they found a place to squat down and eat. Zhao Yanting sat down, and his servants arranged the food, and he began to eat slowly.

He ate quickly but calmly.

"Dong dong dong!"

Just when Zhao Yanting was halfway through eating, the sound of a big cowhide drum sounded. The soldiers had either finished eating, or were about to finish eating, but they all left the canteen immediately and hurried back to get weapons or put on armor.

Very well trained.

The Mongolians have been going south for many years, and the Han soldiers are very elite.

There was a flash of light in Zhao Yanting's eyes, but he did not move, but continued to eat. Until a man from a hundred households wearing armor walked in. After seeing Zhao Yanting, he bared his teeth and said, "Mr. Zhao, what are you still doing?

Eat. Something big happened."

"What's going on?" Zhao Yanting had finished eating at this time, took out his handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and raised his eyes to ask.

The name of this household is Xu Zhinian, who has no background. He was very polite to Zhao Yanting, who came from a wealthy family in the county. He was not angry when he saw Zhao Yanting like this. Instead, he patiently explained: "Last night, a building was built quietly in the south of the city.

A military camp."

"The spies went out and took a look. The flag is "iron". It is most likely that it is Wu Nian's colonel [Iron Niu]. Judging from the size of the military camp, the strength is either two thousand households or three thousand households."

"An order has been passed down from above, asking us to step up our guard."

After Zhao Yanting finished wiping his mouth, he handed the handkerchief to the house slave standing aside. With a look of disdain on his face, he said with a smile: "Every one of the eight major captains under Wu Nian should not be underestimated. But calculations

In just a short time, Tieniu can travel from Jiang County to Yun County by taking a detour so quickly."

"What kind of siege equipment can he have? What kind of baggage, food and fodder can he have? As long as we are careful and don't mess up our position, he won't be able to attack us."

"Xu Baihu. Relax a little."

Xu Zhinian was indeed under a lot of pressure. After listening to Zhao Yanting's words, he immediately exhaled, with a smile on his face, nodded and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your guidance."

"However, the orders issued by the superiors are no small matter. The Meng Yuan people are not ruthless in enforcing military laws. Mr. Zhao, you'd better hurry up."

"Okay." Zhao Yanting nodded.

Xu Zhinian quickly turned around and left. Zhao Yanting slowly stood up, took his slaves back to his bedroom, put on his armor, hung up his steel sword, and led about a hundred of his men.

People are waiting in the barracks.

"When autumn comes on September 8th, when my flowers bloom, hundreds of flowers will be killed."

"It's time for me, Zhao Yanting, to step up to the front desk."
