Naturally, Yan Xing's words meant something. Ma Lin opened his eyes wide, as if he was enlightened. Gan Ling was thinking and kept silent. After Yan Xing encouraged everyone a few words, the argument that happened on the way was overturned, but everyone in the team felt that they had gained something.

"Come on, take a rest and have a drink!"

In the camp temporarily built in the wilderness, Gan Ling took a water bag, walked out, came to Ma Lin, who was guarding outside, and reached out to hand it over.

Ma Lin looked at Gan Ling, hesitated for a moment, and finally solemnly took the water bag, poured it into his mouth, and then said:

"This clear water is not as good as our Xiliang's strong wine. I'm sweet and thin. When I return to our camp, I'll invite you to drink the strong wine!"

"Okay! You are not allowed to leave if you are drunk!"

After saying that, the two laughed at each other, and the previous rift faded away with the laughter.

Yan Xing didn't know that his two subordinates had already shook hands and made peace. At this moment, he was in the temporary camp. After all, he was rushing all night and was already close to Huaili at this time. If they were swaying on the official road, they would soon be targeted by the pavilion department along the road in Youfufeng. Therefore, Yan Xing wisely chose to stay in the remote wasteland first to rest. Everyone should be fully prepared and restored their strength before making plans.

Yan Xing sat under a simple wooden shed, holding a piece of silk in his hand and was calculating. As Gan Ling said, there were five people in the army with one tent, and a bonfire was left between the five tents. If the 87 bonfires were counted, the number of Chen Cang defenders was about two thousand.

However, there are not only bonfires in some places in the camp. For example, the main general's tent and the guards' food and grass are all placed under high alert. In addition to strict inspections at night and multiple torches, several bonfires will be lit around to ensure that people can be found from a distance at night.

Therefore, if these are excluded, the actual number of Chen Cang's defenders should be about 1,000. However, Chen Cang is located at the western end of the Guanzhong Plain. It goes north to Longyou, south to Hanzhong, and west to Chang'an. It is a smooth journey. It can be said that the military strategists must fight for. Therefore, the defenders in this place are relatively elite. The guards of the guards' camps are also in line with the military strategy. When the coalition forces advance eastward, they will inevitably take down the stronghold of Chen Cang, but they will not be able to be watched casually at that time.

As for the defenders of Chang'an, the Jingzhao Yin of this dynasty changed from an official with both the court and the local government to an ordinary local official, but his functions were still different from those of the ordinary local county magistrates. In addition to having the right to self-destruct, administrative control, recommendation, and sacrifice, the Jingzhao Yin's military functions were constantly strengthened at this time because the three auxiliary wars continued.

According to their insights, there were 2,000 troops stationed in the military camps outside the city. In addition, Chang'an City was densely populated, and if it was impossible to capture the city with tricks and use force attacks, it would be difficult to capture it.

After calculating the number of troops and the pros and cons of offense and defense, Yan Xing wrote down in detail with a brush, and then carefully folded the silk and put it in his arms and put it in his arms. After doing these things, Yan Xing picked up the sheepskin map he had been carrying and put it in front of him to look at it.

Those maps only depict the mountains and rivers in a few places in Jincheng, Longxi and Hanyang. When they arrived in the Sanfu area, they could be said to be completely blind. Therefore, with the help of the light heroes who had traveled to Sanfu in the past, Yan Xing began to draw down the mountains and rivers and terrain along the road again.

But they were just a new arrival, and they deliberately avoided the gathering of Tingbu Township along the way, so they could not find the locals to ask carefully. Therefore, the newly drawn map was quite simple, just indicating the cities, rivers, and the estimated distance data they passed along the way, and there was nothing else except that.

However, for Yan Xing himself, this map was the biggest gain he gained from entering Sanfu this time.

After many days of running around, being in danger, always alert, and rushing all night last night, Yan Xing was energetic, but it was not iron-clad after all. Looking at the messy and dense signs and texts on the sheepskin map, Yan Xing's eyelids gradually became heavier, and the font patterns that caught his eyes gradually became blurred. His body could no longer hold back. His head drooped and he fell asleep against the wooden shed.

In a daze, Yan Xing seemed to fall into a changing kaleidoscope, and the warm scenes of the past emerged one after another in his mind.

"Brother, I'm here, come and catch Wan'er!" The little girl holding the skirt was running in the yard like a cheerful bird, looking back and calling Yan Xing frequently. Yan Xing smiled and was about to raise his legs to chase after him, the laughing and fighting girl in front of her suddenly disappeared, and she turned into a slightly red eye when she parted, looking back shyly.

"Brother, remember to come back early..."

Yan Xing's heart moved and was about to speak. The picture changed again. Rows of troops were moving in the city of Chencang. The soldiers were radiating between the various phalanxes, and the cavalry galloped back and forth. When the military formations stopped together, the soldiers shouted loudly, and the sounds moved all over the fields. The swords, guns, swords and halberds they raised were dancing like dense forests. And further away, continuous camps were spread all over the place, and the familiar sounds of trumpets among the camps were heard one after another, as if a huge monster was opening its bloody mouth and roaring to the sky.

Hearing the intense and majestic horn, Yan Xing felt the blood in his body boiling. He couldn't help but shout and ran to the current military camp with all his might. But as he approached, the heavily guarded camp suddenly turned into a stream of yellow sand and rushed towards him. Yan Xing stopped in fear and covered his face to block the wind and sand.

When he put down his hands in front of him, he found in fear that everything around him had changed again. The army with strict military appearance and the guards were completely gone. The soldiers from Xiliang were running around and chasing them. A group of cavalry descending from the sky kept chasing them from behind. A Xiliang soldier beside him was chopped off his head with a sabre and blood splattered on his face. Yan Xing reached out and touched him and it was actually hot.

The next moment, he was frightened to see the sabre that was still bleeding and pointing at him. Yan Xing subconsciously shouted: "Ganling, Ma Lin, follow me!" But no one responded to him, and the knight activated the horse, and the speed was getting faster and faster. Yan Xing could even see his hideous and evil face clearly, and the distance was getting closer and closer. Yan Xing wanted to avoid it, but found that his whole body seemed to have been drained and he could not exert force.

Next moment!

"Shaojun!"

Suddenly a loud voice woke him up. Yan Xing jumped up and reached out to touch the ring-headed knife around his waist. When the handle of the knife was taken, it seemed as if an invisible force was transmitted from the handle of the knife to Yan Xing's body. He was determined and he woke up and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Ma Lin, who ran over to report, was also startled by Yan Xing's shock, calmed down and said quickly:

"The brother who sent out the siege came back to report that there were two groups of people fighting in front, and one of them seemed to be the Han army in Youfufeng!"

"What!"

Yan Xing's heart suddenly accelerated when he heard this. Now this place is approaching Huaili. If the Han army discovered it here, it will be difficult to get out. He quickly turned his mind to search for any clues exposed these days, but he got nothing, so he simply said:

"Let everyone clean up the weapons and horses. Take a few people to see what happened first!"

After saying that, Yan Xing sorted out his weapons and clothes, walked out quickly, and looked around. His subordinates who were resting were already highly alert, running back and forth in the simple camp, ready to deal with the sudden enemy. Outside the wooden shed, his subordinates had already held a mount, and Yan Xing immediately turned over and turned his horse without delay.

Seeing that Ma Lin and several others were ready, Yan Xing nodded, said "Go!" and took the lead and ran out.

···

Soon, under the guidance of the troops who discovered the enemy's traces, Yan Xing and his men came to the vicinity of the place where the battle was taking place. They got off the horse from afar and approached with the cover of plants and trees to see what was going on.

I saw a group of twenty-cavalry soldiers running back and forth on the wasteland not far away, constantly provoking the people surrounded by them in filthy words, while surrounded by them was a team of more than thirty people, including cavalry, slaves, and maids, which looked like a group of wealthy families traveling. At this moment, they were hurriedly protecting the old and weak women behind, while all the men stood outside in a carriage, indifferent to the provocation of the Han cavalry.

Yan Xing was secretly surprised. Seeing these Han cavalry running back and forth on horseback, they were obviously experienced in the Rong formation and skilled equestrians. Moreover, their armor and weapons were all equipped by regular Han army, but for some reason they surrounded the team of rich and noble people in front of them.

Could it be that these besieged people were also military probes sent by the Liangzhou coalition forces? This idea suddenly appeared in Yan Xing's mind, but it was soon rejected by him. No matter whether the coalition spies were able to be fully equipped with slaves or servants, even if the servants of wealthy families were really fully equipped, they would probably be seen in less than a long time to pass the market. How could they run so far away from Huaili?

Although he was not sure what was going on, just in case, Yan Xing immediately ordered a subordinate to go back and summon everyone to come here, while he and Ma Lin and others were here to stay here first to see what was going on.

After Yan Xing's order was given here, his subordinates had just left. A woman's "ahhh" scream came from the field. Yan Xing quickly pulled his eyes back to the field, but saw that the Han cavalry who had been provoking for a long time could no longer hold back and tried to start a provocative attack.

A flying feather arrow was nailed to the outside of the carriage, causing a series of screams from the maid behind.
