"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Open the city gate quickly, the Khitan soldiers are attacking!"

I saw the scouts riding a horse, and the horse whip was raised and fell down, hitting the war horse. The war horse neighed in pain and ran with all its strength.

The defenders in front of Gewu City did not dare to neglect them, so they immediately gave up their positions and let the scouts enter the city. Then the soldiers guarding the city began to block the city gate and were ready for battle.

For a moment, people in Gewu City were panicked and talked about it.

"Why are the Khitan soldiers coming? Aren't they fighting in Songmo?"

"It must be the Khitan soldiers' plan to attack the east and west!"

"Go home quickly! I don't know how many Khitan soldiers are. If we can't stand it, we have to go into battle with our guns!"

…

The people living in the border have a high degree of patriotic awareness. This is their home and the place where they rely on for survival. Therefore, in order to protect this place, they are not afraid of life and death, and the whole nation is a warrior.

At this time, the Governor's Office, the marching chief Zhou Junjie was listening to the scout's report.

"General, the Khitan troops have reached one hundred miles away, and the formation is like a long dragon. It is estimated to have 40,000 to 50,000 troops! Most of them are cavalry and light infantry, and they do not carry siege equipment!"

Zhou Junjie's face was heavy and he shouted immediately: "The Khitans are indeed attacking the east and west. Now there are only 20,000 troops in Gewu City! Fortunately, we can rely on the solidarity of the city to resist. People come!"

"I'm here!" The hall stood up.

"I will notify you that the whole city will be in combat and guard the city gates strictly. Even if you die on the city wall, you will not allow the Khitan thieves to step into the city! In addition, you will notify you that the adult males will be recruited for logistics reserves. Once the troops are insufficient, the males in Gewu City will be held up to me. Who is afraid that I will be the first to kill him!"

"The other eight hundred miles rushed to send the news of the Khitan attack to Kyoto, and at the same time informed the Liaocheng Prefecture Governor's Office, the Pinglu Governor's Office, and Huangya Pass to be on high alert!"

"The scout investigates the situation of the enemy again. I need to know the details of the enemy, including who the enemy's general is!"

Three military orders were sent together, but the generals took orders to arrange them one after another.

Only Zhou Junjie was left in the house. He sneered and said, "Are you really bullied by my brother Wucheng? If you dare to come, I will let you bury it here!"

...

But what Huang Junjie didn't know was that when Gewu City was facing the attack of Khitan troops, Pinglu also encountered the attack of Khitan troops!

About 40,000 troops were approaching Pinglu City. The news of the Khitan troops coming made the faces of the Pinglu City defenders slightly change.

Gong Xuesong, the Marquis of Zhenbei, guarded Pinglu. As he led his troops to Songmo, Pinglu's military was temporarily handed over to the Chief of the Governor's Office, and his subordinates cooperated fully.

Facing the attacking Khitan troops, the chief immediately arranged the situation, and focused on defending the enemy with no need to attack head-on.

Although the Khitan soldiers and horses are coming in a fierce manner, the Khitan soldiers have a characteristic: they are good at fast attacks, that is, efficient raids. This is because they are a nation on horseback and are good at riding and shooting. But siege is their weakness, and it is not easy to win Pinglu City.

Moreover, the request for reinforcements has been issued. The court will soon draw troops from Yingyang Mansions from all over the north for support. It only takes a while to persevere, and the next step is the time to counterattack!

...

At this time, Yang Shuang didn't know that Gewuzhou Peace Lu had encountered a Khitan attack, and the news could not be spread so quickly.

Gong Xuesong, the Marquis of Zhenbei, was attacking Yushugou. Although the Khitan soldiers rely on the mountain to resist, it also limited the superiority of their own cavalry. In addition, the Great Sui soldiers were not afraid of life and death. After several rounds of fierce attacks, the Great Sui attack had already been pushed to the mountain pass.

The soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty began to fight in close combat with the Khitan soldiers. Both sides each had faith and loyalty to each other's countries. There was no right or wrong, only winning or losing.

This fierce battle ran from morning to dusk, and corpses were everywhere and blood flowed into a river.

The disadvantages of the Khitan soldiers were becoming more and more obvious, and there was no need to stick to them. Xiao Guang, who was in charge of the rear, saw that the opportunity was similar and immediately called the gold to withdraw his troops.

The Khitan soldiers woke up from the tragic battle, looked at the tragic surroundings, and hurriedly fled to the northwest.

The soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty took advantage of the victory to pursue the battle, and a large number of soldiers finally stepped across the Yushugou, and there was a flat area in front of them, ready to pursue them.

But at this moment, the Zhenyuan Hou Gong Xuesong suddenly ordered the drum to beat the order, and the soldiers who heard the drum sound could only stop chasing.

A general patted his horse and came to Gong Xuesong and said anxiously: "General, why don't you take advantage of the victory and completely destroy the other party?"

Gong Xuesong said, "It's dark. When the Khitans escape to Songmo City, they will set up an ambush. And once the other party escapes back to Songmo City, we will fight fiercely for a day, hunger and cold, and we are unable to attack the city. Once we fail, the morale that has finally won't be easily defeated. So we won't chase them and let them escape back to Songmo City. Their morale is already depressed. And we will accumulate our energy and take Songmo City in one fell swoop!"

"I understand!" The general then understood Gong Xuesong's good intentions.

Then, the army cleaned the battlefield and treated the wounded. It was already dark during this busy period.

Yang Shuang returned to the military camp. Not long after, Gong Xuesong also came back. He also went to Yang Shuang to sit down and report on the results of the battle.

"We have suffered more than 10,000 casualties, killed 7,000 Khitan soldiers, captured more than 1,000 prisoners. It's really tragic. Who is the leader of the Khitan?" Yang Shuang asked after learning about the situation.

Gong Xuesong said: "The Khitan's general's name is Xiao Guang, who is adopted by the Khitan Emperor and one of the four powerful generals of the Khitan Kingdom. It is said that this person is proficient in military tactics and is invincible. Today's battle, 30,000 people and 70,000 people fought hard. It is indeed not a common name to be able to get entangled for so long."

This was an attack on Yushugou. Gong Xuesong naturally did not suppress all 100,000 soldiers, only 70,000, and the one who actually participated in the battle was 60,000.

Yang Shuang wrote down the name of this person, and then asked curiously: "Why didn't the Marquis pursue the victory?"

Gong Xuesong repeated the words he said to his subordinates again, and finally said casually: "The enemy has fled back to Songmo City in a hurry, and the morale of the army will inevitably be disintegrated. When we prepare the siege equipment, it will be easy to take down Songmo City. Please rest assured, Your Highness."

"It seems that the Marquis has already made a clear plan and has formulated a strategy. By the way, what is the situation of the 20,000 soldiers heading north?" Yang Shuang asked.

Gong Xuesong said: "They have entered the territory of the Khitan, and they are more than 200 miles away from Fuyu in the Khitan. It is the largest city in the north of the Khitan. The Khitan soldiers who sneaked into Songmo City this time are the troops of Fuyu City. The 20,000 troops stationed there to curb the Khitans' assistance. Now the Khitan soldiers in Songmo City are already in a turtle."

Yang Shuang looked at the map and found that it was indeed as Gong Xuesong said.

However, Yang Shuang was worried and continued to ask: "What about other places? Everything is safe in Gewuzhou and Liaochengzhou? Is there anything different about the Turks in the west?"

Gong Xuesong smiled and said, "Everything is safe from the east and west. Please rest assured. I have sent a large number of scouts. If there is any change, I will immediately send a message to the Eagle. The Eagle is extremely fast, so you can rest assured."

Everything is safe?

Yang Shuang nodded and smiled, "Then I'll feel relieved."

Gong Xuesong sat for a while before leaving.

But Yang Shuang frowned and couldn't help but say, "Are we really worried about it?"

The communication speed in ancient times was too slow, and the Eagle News and Eight Hundred Miles were the fastest speeds.

Pan Cailian comforted: "Didn't Your Highness send the imperial guards to Pinglu, Gewuzhou and other places?"

Emperor Sui arranged three hundred imperial guards for Yang Shuang to protect his safety, so Yang Shuang picked some clever ones and sent them out to act as scouts.

"Your Highness, Zhenyuan Hou has sent a large number of scouts. These scouts are experienced and have not discovered the movements of the Khitan and the Turks. Could it be that the imperial guards we sent out will gain something?" Han Qinhu couldn't help asking.

Yang Shuang looked at Han Qinhu and smiled and said, "Do you just trust those scouts?"

"Of course! You can't..." Han Qinhu glared and said in shock: "Your Highness will not doubt Zhenyuan Hou!"

"It's not that I doubt him, but no one can believe it now." Yang Shuang replied.

Han Qinhu couldn't help but think about this possibility, and then worriedly said: "If he really has a problem... the consequences are unimaginable! It just doesn't make sense!"

"Stop thinking about it! The most urgent thing is to wait and see what changes are." Yang Shuang said with a smile.

The next morning, the army was still cleaning the battlefield.

After a battle, it took time to clean the battlefield and the enemy could still burn it, but his compatriots had to verify his identity, then clean up his relics, and bury them. Although they could not return to their roots, they could only return to their foreign lands, being buried in peace is the minimum respect.

So after the entire battlefield was cleaned, more than a day passed.

The Khitan soldiers who fled back to Songmo City were on high alert and still had no intention of abandoning the city and escaping. They seemed to want to fight to the death with the Great Sui soldiers.

Especially the Khitan general Xiao Guang sent people to shoot and kill the Great Sui scout who came to investigate. He was extremely arrogant and issued a letter of war to fight to the death with the Marquis of Zhenbei Gong Xuesong.

Gong Xuesong was furious and scolded Xiao Guang for being too arrogant and decisively facing the battle.

The next day, the army set out and approached Songmo City.

.........

Li Jing followed 20,000 troops to camp, and the Khitans in Fuyu City must have received the news, but they had no intention of attacking.

"Please be in trouble!" Li Jing sighed, realizing that his guess had come true.

There is definitely something wrong with the scout!

Because there was a problem with the scout, the news Yang Shuang and Li Jing heard were all fake news. They looked confused about what was going on outside. Maybe the safety they heard had happened, and something big had already happened!

So Li Jing did not dare to stay for a long time, so he went to find Zhang Kun, the general who led the army, and had a secret conversation with him for a long time. Then Li Jing took the imperial guards who followed him to leave the camp. They did not go towards Songmo City, but rushed towards Pinglu in the southeast.

At this time, Pinglu City was besieged by 40,000 Khitan soldiers!

Originally, the 50,000 troops stationed in Pinglu City, but the 40,000 troops went to war with Zhenbeihou. The remaining troops in the city were limited, with only 10,000 people.

Although they were facing 40,000 Khitans, the generals in the city were not worried.

First of all, Pinglu City is the most solid of the cities outside the pass. Secondly, the rescue information has been issued. If you hold on for a few days, reinforcements will naturally arrive.
Chapter completed!
