153, fell into the trap

"What's going on?" Nangong Feiran asked.

"Report to the general." Wu Jiuhu said in horror: "We have fallen into a trap." He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Nangong Feiran.

Nangong Feiran took the letter, which was an autographed letter from Yongan Gatekeeper Jin Dacheng.

It turned out that the Liao army attacked Yong'an Pass with only a small number of troops, but they always claimed to have 100,000 backup troops. That's why Jin Dacheng hurriedly reported it to the court. However, the Liao army did send 100,000 troops, but their destination was not Yong'an.

close.

I think it was because Hua Shaorong, the major general of the Liao Dynasty, suffered a loss at Yong'an Pass last time and knew that Yong'an Pass was easy to defend but difficult to attack, so he turned to attack Hukou Pass this time.

Hukou Pass is the southwest border pass of the Liang Kingdom, and the southwest is the prairie. However, because it is far away from the Liao Kingdom, there are not many soldiers guarding the pass, and the court does not attach great importance to it.

It seems that this time, the Liao Kingdom really had good intentions, going in such a big circle to attack the Hukou Pass in the southwest. Jin Dacheng always felt that the Liao army outside Yong'an Pass was just stationed and not attacking, which he always found strange.

, thinking that they were waiting for reinforcements, so they sent out personnel to investigate. This investigation revealed such a major incident.

"Is what Jin Dacheng said true?" Nangong Feiran asked.

"General, the last general has already investigated, and what Commander Jin said is true." Wu Jiuhu replied.

"How long does it take for the Liao army to reach Hukou Pass?" Nangong Feiran asked Wu Jiuhu.

"General, it is estimated that the entire army will reach Hukou Pass in three days at most." Wu Jiuhu said.

"Master, the terrain outside Hukou Pass is vast and easy to attack but difficult to defend." Jingdong said.

Nangong Feiran said sternly: "Send the order and the whole army will advance immediately. We must reach Hukou Pass before the Liao army and we must overwhelm them in terms of momentum."

"But Master, it will take at least five days for us to get to Hukou Pass from here." Jingdong said. It seems impossible to reach Hukou Pass before the Liao army.

"I don't care. You are not allowed to eat or sleep along the way. You have to arrive before the Liao army. Wait until you reach Hukou Pass before making adjustments." Nangong Feiran ordered. He began to organize his things.

Jingdong and Wu Jiuhu were ordered to retreat.

Hukou Pass is located in the southwest of Daliang. There are many herdsmen here and there are few wars. It is a relatively safe pass among the several border passes in Daliang.

Precisely because of this, guard general Tang Zheng didn't worry much on weekdays, he just enjoyed his leisure time and was a comfortable guard general.

But today, Tang Zheng could not get up. In the morning, Tang Zheng received a handwritten letter from Jin Dacheng, the guard general of Yong'an Pass, and learned that the Liao Army's 100,000 troops were coming towards this direction in a mighty manner. At first, he still

He was very suspicious, because if the Liao army wanted to attack Daliang, it would be most impossible to choose Hukou Pass. However, when the spies he sent came back and said that there was indeed a large army coming, he had to believe it.

According to the spies' report, it took about three days for the Liao army to arrive at Hukou Pass, but Tang Zheng was not happy at all. Three days? What is enough for him? Enough for him to pack up his bed, take his wife and children and escape?

Tang Zheng did indeed do this, but his end was tragic. When Nangong Feiran led an army of 100,000 to Tiger City, there was a head hanging on the city gate, which looked like it had been hanging there for a long time.

This head belonged to guard Tang Zheng. When he was escaping, he was beheaded by deputy general Ling Feng and hung on the city tower for public display. At the same time, Ling Feng wrote to the court and dispatched troops to arrange everything. Ling Feng was a soldier, a

An out-and-out soldier, he knew that even if he died, he should die on the battlefield, and Tang Zheng's approach of surrendering without a fight and disregarding the people of the city angered him.

Nangong Feiran was not surprised when he saw Tang Zheng's head. He had heard of Ling Feng a long time ago, but he was a gambler. When he was working for the imperial court in Luoyang City, he missed a big deal due to greed and was demoted to this place by the emperor.

.I heard that he gave up gambling after arriving here and has been training soldiers.

Ling Feng personally greeted Nangong Feiran, but when he saw that Nangong Feiran's 100,000 soldiers were all covered in mud and looked very tired, he was immediately worried about how such soldiers could fight against the 100,000 elite tiger and wolf divisions of the Liao Dynasty.

"General Nangong, what are your plans now?" Ling Feng asked.

Nangong Feiran stood on the tower of Hukou Pass, observing the surrounding terrain, and asked: "How long will it take for the Liao army to arrive?"

"About this time tomorrow." Ling Feng replied.

"Very good." Nangong Feiran said to Jingdong: "Now pass the order, let everyone have a good rest, rest for five hours, and be on standby in the evening."

Jingdong accepted the order and retreated.

Ling Feng was puzzled because he didn't know how Nangong Feiran came here with his soldiers. He didn't sleep for three whole days, and even the time for eating was reduced a lot by him. He had two meals a day.

Be on your way now.

Nangong Feiran knew that he was racing against time, but he had to arrive before the Liao army arrived. The Liao army never dreamed that Nangong Feiran's army would arrive before them. He did it. He had already said in Jingdong

When it was impossible, I told him that nothing was impossible.

Now, he will not only surprise the Liao army, but also tell them with some practical actions why Nangong Feiran is a battlefield legend!

"General, Hukou Pass is easy to attack and difficult to defend. We might as well retreat to a place that is beneficial to us and then make plans." Ling Feng asked tentatively. He knew that his idea was embarrassing, but he told the truth. In front of them,

The grassland is located on a high terrain, and the Liao army's cavalry rushed down at once, and they had no way to resist.

"Easy to attack but difficult to defend?" Sure enough, Nangong Feiran said in a disdainful tone: "I'm here to defeat the enemy, not to defend the city." Then he paused and said, "Tang Zheng wanted to leave Hucheng, so you were

Beheaded, but now you have such thoughts, what are you going to do with yourself?"

Looking at Nangong Feiran's half-smiling expression, Ling Feng was a little dumbfounded and said, "This is a temporary measure, but Tang Zheng wants to escape."

"Expedient measure? How do you know what Tang Zheng was thinking?" Nangong Feiran said seriously: "If the matter had not been urgent, you would have committed the following crime, do you know? Tang Zheng did something wrong, and the court will deal with him.

When will it be your turn to take action? You must know that you are a soldier and your mission is to obey!"

Ling Feng did not expect that Nangong Feiran would make such remarks, and explained: "Everyone knew that the Liao army was attacking. If I had not done that at that time, I might not be able to deter the soldiers."

"Military morale is used to subdue, not to shock." Nangong Feiran sighed and said: "If you don't obey Tang Zheng's approach, you can kill him, so if your subordinates obey you, they can also kill you? You have to know

, as a general, you must set an example for yourself in everything!"

"I will obey the general's instructions." Ling Feng said.

"Okay, that's all. Now, you accompany me out of the city to take a look. We can't just wait for the Liao army to invade without taking any action."

"General." General Zuo next to Nangong Feiran reminded: "You haven't rested for three days. You'd better go and take a rest."

Nangong Feiran smiled and looked at the generals behind him. These people were his comrades all year round and had an extraordinary friendship with him. But at this time, although there was fatigue on the faces of these people, they were more about the necessity of the battle.

The desire to win.

"You are the only ones who haven't rested in three days. If you haven't rested, how can I rest?" Nangong Feiran asked with a smile.

"But general..." General You also tried to persuade Nangong Feiran to rest.

"Okay, no need to persuade me." Nangong Feiran waved his hand, and then said: "The enemy is coming, and I am just like you. How can I rest peacefully? Let's wait until we win the battle. At that time, I will take good care of myself.

I want to take a nap, and no one of you will bother me at that time." Nangong Feiran smiled and walked down to the city, and several lieutenants quickly followed.

Only then did Ling Feng understand why Nangong Feiran's soldiers looked so tired. It turned out that these people had traveled day and night in order to arrive before the Liao army. And although these lieutenants were all a little tired, when it came to defeating the enemy,

The situation is not ambiguous at all, and I don’t feel tired at all.

Ling Feng couldn't help but be in awe of Nangong Feiran. He knew Nangong Feiran before, but at that time he thought that everything Nangong Feiran was given was because of his father, Prince Hui. Prince Hui was very good at fighting, and Ling Feng admired him very much.

Nangong Feiran, because he was too young, Lingfeng always thought that his God of War was formed under the guidance of Prince Hui. But when he saw it today, he couldn't help but admire him.

What Ling Feng didn't know was that during this war, he would admire Nangong Feiran more and more, but these were things for later. What he wanted to do now was to accompany Nangong Feiran for a walk outside the city.

"Have you found out everything about the other party?" Nangong Feiran asked.

"Back to the general, the commander of Daliao is Dongfang Chengjian, the third prince of the Liao Kingdom. And some of his lieutenants have also discovered the majority."

"Dongfang Chengjian..." Nangong Feiran murmured.

He knew about Dongfang Chengjian, and had fought against him on the battlefield. This man was resourceful and good at using tricks, and could often defeat the enemy by surprise. And this man was also the most promising prince of Daliao. But this man

He was very warlike and ambitious, and wanted to conquer the Liang Kingdom by force.

It seems that the opponent this time is very strong, Nangong Feiran thought to himself. But what he was thinking more about was what to do to make Dongfang Chengjian go away and never come back. If Dongfang Chengjian is pulled out, Daliang can be safe for several years.

.

Dongfang Chengjian is indeed such a person, but at this time, Dongfang Chengjian is still immersed in joy. He is good at using tricks and often surprises people. Nangong Feiran is right. And Nangong Feiran must have seen his tricks.

The first trick.

Dongfang Chengjian thought that Nangong Feiran must be on his way to Yong'an Pass with his troops now. When he arrives at Yong'an Pass, he will find that it is just the first step in his chess move, and it is definitely just a warm-up.

At that time, Nangong Feiran was leading troops from Yong'an Pass to Hukou Pass. Haha, I'm afraid that by the time he arrived at Hukou Pass, the flag of the Liao Dynasty had already been planted on the top of the city of Hukou Pass.

Dongfang Chengjian immediately thought, it seemed very interesting to play with Nangong Feiran like this. I heard that this God of War had never been defeated, so this time, he must make Nangong Feiran lose miserably.

"Brother, this move of yours is really interesting. It easily delayed Liang Jun's time without using a single group of soldiers." A young man who looked like an adjutant said naughtily at the Dongfang City Fitness, but judging from the delicate look between her eyebrows,

It can be seen that this person is a woman. Yes, this woman is Dongfang Lingyue, the princess of Daliao. She is also the woman who has a private life-long contract with the eleventh prince.

"My brother will capture Luoyang one day, make my good brother-in-law the emperor, and let him make you the queen, haha." Dongfang Chengjian smiled, but his words were only addressed to the eleventh prince Nangong next to Dongfang Lingyue.

Quan He just listened. When he really captured Luoyang, hehe, he might just save Nangong Quanhe's life for his sister's sake. But now, he still has some use for Nangong Quanhe.

"General, the front is Tongtian Stream. As long as you pass Tongtian Stream, you will reach the vast grassland, and Hukou Pass is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered for us to slaughter." The deputy general at the fitness center of Dongfang City reminded.

"Well, give me the order, cheer me up, and charge me after passing Tongtian Stream. The Liang Jun I want to kill will be caught off guard." Dongfang Chengjian felt his heart begin to burn, and he seemed to see the guard general of Hukou Pass kneeling.

The scene of begging for mercy at his feet.

"Although the Hukou Pass is easy to attack and difficult to defend, the Tongtian Stream is a natural barrier in front of the Hukou Pass." The Eleventh Prince said doubtfully: "The big reason why the Hukou Pass was set here was

Because of the protection of Tongtian Stream, if there are ambushes in Tongtian Stream..."

Before the eleventh prince finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dongfang Chengjian: "Brother Nangong, don't worry, there are only a few thousand soldiers in Hukou Pass. If they dare to set up an ambush here, I will turn Tongtian Stream into their cemetery."

"But..." The eleventh prince wanted to say more.

"There is nothing, huh, the biggest but is that unless Nangong Feiran and his soldiers grow wings and fly over from Yong'an Pass, huh, otherwise, he can only vent his anger on the road by swearing. Hahaha..." Dongfang City
