After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 432

There is still a long distance from the border of Xilong to the capital.

In these few battles, victory is not allowed to be defeated, time is tight, tasks are heavy, and dangers are numerous.

However, there was no objection to this long-distance raid. General Nan Ke immediately said: "If old Huyan is still alive, it will be difficult for Xiyu; once he dies, Hu Yanzhao will be busy taking over power, and Xiyu must be in a mess now. , we will arrive within seven days, and we will definitely catch them by surprise. Hey, the capital of Xixiang is still close to the western front, which is convenient for us to harvest. I remember that old Huyan wanted to move the capital to the east, but the officials objected, so he had to give up in the end.”

Zhong Shengguang planted a small flag on the sand table: "General Nan Ke has finished talking about the enemy's disadvantages, let's talk about their advantages."

After talking about the distribution of troops in Xixiang and the characteristics of the generals, they discussed the choice of attack route, the sequence of attacks, and then the defense tasks around Panlong City during the dispatch of troops...

Wen Daolun also focused on the analysis of the character and temperament of Hu Yanzhao, the future monarch of Xixiang.After all, this is Panlong City's real opponent in this battle.

In the end, they even talked about the weather conditions in the next few days in Xixiang.

He Lingchuan shuddered when he heard General Hong talk about wielding Xi Rong at the meeting.

History finally returned to his familiar track!
He had heard before that Panlong City attacked the small country in the east, Xilong, but when it came to why and how it was fought, posterity did not understand, only that this war came without warning.

Now, he is about to observe from the perspective of a witness.

After listening to his report, everyone in the Broken Knife team was eager to try, and A Luo nodded and said: "The Jinxi Corridor is too dangerous. Millions of people's lives and wealth can't be counted on the mercy of the enemy. It's better to fight down the road by yourself. It's the most comfortable walking."

He Lingchuan smiled and said: "That's exactly the reason. We are just an advance team. I guess Master Zhong will make an announcement to the whole city before the army sets off, explaining these advantages and disadvantages clearly."

"The Huyan family established the Xiyu Kingdom. Originally, there were some strong generals, and with the help of the Baling Kingdom, it really blocked our way back to the east. But their luck was not good. In the past ten years, veteran stars have fallen one by one. The newcomer is not enough to single out the leader, and the national strength is getting weaker. Now that the old Huyan is dead, it is a golden opportunity, so why not take it?"

The door panel socket: "Oh, there is no need to talk about so many reasons. As long as Mr. Zhong says that we are going to fight Xijiu, the whole city must cheer and support!"

Everyone laughed.

Hu Min suddenly asked his new teammates: "Old Yu, tell me about your skills?"

"Me?" Lao Yu rubbed his head, a little shy, "I have no other skills, that is, I can get close to wild beasts and monsters and communicate with them well."

"Beast tamer?" Liu Tiao snorted, "It's rare."

In this way of practice, talent is more important than hard work.Otherwise, you are a person who has no friendly physique, no matter how much you fake a smile, strange beasts will not wait to see you.

Lao Yu laughed aloud: "I am usually stationed on the plateau, but this time I was transferred back to carry out a mission by the Red General. Please give me your advice."

……

After a few hours.

In the western mountainous area of ​​Xilong, Longhou Pass.

It was getting late, and cooking was started in the Xijiu barracks, and the aroma wafted all the way to the top of the gate wall.

The soldier in charge of guarding the watch swallowed his saliva and began to count the time for the guard change.

"I heard that there are wild boars today, three to four hundred catties of big pigs, when will we come down for dinner?"

Although it is early summer, it is still cool at night in the mountains.

"The two scumbags who changed shifts must have eaten and drank their fill before coming up. They ate up all the good meat."

"Why don't we go straight down? Grab two pieces of meat first."

The sentinel hesitated: "Isn't that good? What if it's discovered..."

"It's already past the changing of the guard time, it's those two idiots who are not punctual!" Another person was angry, "If you punish them, you will punish them. Oh, I saw blood sausage! Who is so genius who knows how to fill blood sausage?"

The sound of swallowing saliva became louder immediately.

The people on the wall couldn't bear it any longer, and jumped down to grab the meat in two steps.

The meat in the pot has just been cooked, the ribs and loins must have been sent to the chief's camp, and the rest depends on who the cook has a better relationship with.

Sure enough, they jumped up and were not found.

Seeing the good meat leaving the pot quickly, the three in line were secretly anxious.

Finally, it was their turn: "Blood sausage, blood sausage, blood sausage!"

"What kind of blood sausage do you want, I want pig's trotters!"

The cook who was in charge of feeding the meat smiled, and gave their blood sausage near the knot, and the buddy who yearned for the pig's trotters was allocated a spine.

Eight parts bone and two parts meat.

"Hey, this meat is too little."

The cook glared: "It's good to give it, get out, don't block the people behind!"

These people walked away unhappy, but they were happy again when they sat down to eat the meat.

It's so delicious, they haven't eaten meat for half a month.

What's more, this is fresh meat, fresh pork slaughtered in the afternoon!
"I heard that the monarch is new, and the nobles in the capital will also be vegetarians for three days."

"Really?" The man who ate the big bone was vague, "It's not as comfortable as we eat."

"Are you a pig's brain? How can the rich and powerful eat as badly as our big soldiers?" The third person sneered, "I heard that they all have small kitchens in their homes, and they wake up in the middle of the night to cook for them. Big pig's trotters can be eaten casually, blood sausage Eat whatever you want!"

"Okay, okay, eat quickly, and go up quickly after eating." The first one was eating blood sausage, the amount was really small, he finished it in three or two bites, and was smacking his lips, "Don't let the changing guard find us skipping work. At that time, I will receive another five boards."

They finished eating quickly, licked all the bowls, and were about to reach for their guns to go to work, when they suddenly heard a "boom" from behind——

Everyone heard it, and when they turned around, they were dumbfounded.

On the beacon tower, the flames suddenly ignited!
And it's still outrageous four beacon bursts.This is the specification for setting off only when encountering a large-scale attack by the enemy.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Someone yelled hoarsely, and the whole camp suddenly became chaotic, with whistles and gongs ringing non-stop.

Many soldiers were still holding on to their job bowls, and their first reaction was not to throw down the bowls to pick up weapons, but to take a few more mouthfuls before talking.

Such a fragrant wild pork, how wasteful it is not to eat?
Which enemies, who can kill thousands of knives, choose to attack when everyone is eating meat?

The guard of Longhougang gave up the meat in the bowl, and strode out, "Sentinel, come down and report!"

The sentinel did not issue an alarm, why did the beacon tower light up instead?

The gazes of countless people were all focused on the city wall of the pass.

But it was empty there, and there was no one there.

The three sentries haven't gone up yet.

"What's going on up here!" The guard was taken aback, thinking that the three sentinels had all been killed, the opponent was formidable!
He was also very nervous: "Everyone is ready for battle! Send people up again, hurry up!"

Longhougang is the first checkpoint in the west of the Xiyu Kingdom, facing the pressure of Panlong City.Because the Xiluo Kingdom was a new country that was separated from the Xiluo Kingdom not long ago, the relationship between Panlong City and it is not very good.

The famous name of the Panlong Army puts a lot of pressure on the defenders here, although they have never invaded.

But the guard instantly linked the new funeral of the monarch with the enemy's invasion.

Does the other party want to take advantage of it?

At this time, several people pushed the three sentinels over: "They are not dead, they just slipped down to eat meat without permission!"

In the firelight from the beacon tower, the three of them trembled.

The guard was furious.

The soldiers who climbed the wall looked at the mountains and fields for a long time before leaning over and shouting: "No problem. It's a false alarm!"

Is it a false positive?
The guard was dubious.

It is still possible for the sentinel to make false alarms. How could this beacon tower be ignited by mistake?
Who would throw tinder in there?

The guard had no choice but to hurriedly say: "Destroy the beacon tower, destroy it!"

All the soldiers rushed to put out the fire.

The problem is that this beacon tower has been specially designed, and even the fuel is specially made. Once it is ignited, it will become a raging fire, but it is extremely laborious to extinguish it.

This design is to prevent the enemy from quickly extinguishing the beacon tower, resulting in the failure of the signal to be transmitted.

The guards had no choice but to call in magicians to stop the strong mountain wind, and then ordered the soldiers to make bags of sand placed behind the gate and press it down on the beacon tower.Because the four beacon stoves were all lit, the fire was particularly strong, and it took thirteen or four times to go back and forth like this before the fire gradually extinguished.

During this period, the sentinel pointed to Dongfang and said, "The beacon fire at Longji Pass has also been lit."

The meaning of the connection of the beacon fire is that Longhougang is the first stick. As long as the beacon fire is lit here, every beacon tower to the east will be lit immediately.

Sifeng is clicked here, and it is Sifeng when it spreads to the east, there is no mistake at all.

After leaving the Longji Pass, Xixiang is almost all plains, and after a few more beacon towers, you will reach the capital.

The guard was heartbroken, so he had to find someone to fly to the capital, making a false report.

Of course, how can the flames of a galloping horse spread as fast as a beacon?Not to mention the rugged mountain roads.

Just half an hour later, the news of the western enemy's massive invasion spread to the palace of Xixiang.Hu Yanzhao, the prince who had not yet ascended the throne, woke up with a start, and hastily ordered the whole army to fight.

Said left and right: "I didn't hear the cannon fire."

According to the regulations, one beacon and one shot, four beacons and four shots, these are all rules.After igniting the beacon fire, the Guantai will also fire the cannons to avoid misfires, false alarms, and misleading decision-making.

But the beacon tower has not been lit for many years, and no one knows the situation of Longhougang.Wang Ting still prepared overnight and sent people to the west to check.

It wasn't until the afternoon of this day that the news from Longhougang finally came:

False positive.

The cause is unknown and is under investigation.

Hu Yanzhao was angry.

It is already very tiring to keep vigil for my father during the day, and I will be awakened when I sleep at night, and I will sleep until dawn!

Check, check!

Punishment, severe punishment!

Originally, Beacon Tower's late and false reports were punished extremely severely.

In the end, Longhougang didn't find out the reason, so they could only catch the three unlucky sentinels to top the vat, so the three were beheaded.

The prince originally wanted to chop off the generals guarding the pass, but the ministers pleaded for mercy, so they changed to [-] big boards and demoted one level.

Those [-] blows were not easy to endure, although he was punished at Longmao Pass, but the prince sent a palace envoy to supervise him, and the soldiers who executed the sentence did not dare to lighten their hands.After these [-] boards, the guard felt that half of his soul had flown away, so he could only lie in bed.
