Liu Qi led more than ten thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and carried simple tools to quietly leave the mountaintop camp of the Tang Dynasty when the moon was dark and the wind was high.
After descending from the mountain, Liu Qi immediately sent spies to the front to clean up the Shu army's outposts and secret posts to prevent the news from leaking.
At the same time, he also ordered Liao Ji and others to keep abreast of the movements of the Shu army.
After all, today's operation is top secret, so we must be more careful.
Because once the Shu army discovers its own movements, not only will its intentions be exposed, it will also lead to the bankruptcy of its plan to intercept the Shu army from both sides.
If that happens, I don't know how many brothers will die in vain and never be able to return home.
Under such circumstances, the spies shuttled between the front line and the military formation like a revolving lantern.
It was always after the spies had cleared the checkpoints in front that Liu Qi would lead his people forward.
As a result, the marching speed will naturally be slowed down a lot.
But Liu Qi had no choice.
The camp on the top of the mountain is only five or six miles away from the expected location.
But Liu Qi just led a group of people from midnight to the expected location when the horizon turned white.
After arriving at the defensive location.
Liu Qi also knew that time was running out.
He did not dare to delay at all, and after selecting the location, he immediately dispatched army sergeants and civilian engineers to build a temporary camp.
Due to Li Chengqian's special request, they did not use local materials to cut down the wood as usual when building the camp this time.
After all, they were setting up camp temporarily.
The Shu army was not far away from them.
Once the Shu army discovered that something was wrong and sent troops to attack, they would have to pay a heavy price for their temporary formation.
And in order to be able to harden more quickly.
Before setting off, Li Chengqian specially mobilized a large number of sacks from the rear.
Although the sack looks inconspicuous, it is also a very remarkable product.
Not to mention anything else, just filling the sacks with sand and gravel and randomly stacking them on the pre-determined front line is much better than an ordinary wooden village. The wall is strong.
In addition, the sack is not afraid of fire attacks.
And it can quickly fill the vacancy after damage, making it a must-have choice on the battlefield.
The actions of the Liangzhou Army were also very fast.
When the sky was bright and the Shu army discovered them, they had already built the walls of the village.
At this time, the leaders of the Shu army were a little panicked.
Especially Chen Fukuan and Shang Yunxian, who just made plans yesterday to intercept the Liangzhou Army today.
They really didn't expect that the Liangzhou Army would adopt such tactics and do so at such a fast speed.
Shang Yunxian, who was known for his calmness, suddenly couldn't hold himself tight.
"Who can tell me how the Liangzhou Army came here?"
"Did it fly over with wings, or did it turn into a gopher and crawl over the ground?"
"Are all the spies in charge of surveillance everywhere blind?"
With a gloomy face, he said straightly: "Who was in charge of the sentry last night? Come forward!"
After hearing this, a general in the crowd knelt down directly.
He faced Shang Yunxian and said tremblingly: "General, I really don't know, General."
"Last night I checked every checkpoint before returning to the camp."
"And I also had a rest this night, and I wasn't lazy."
"But I just don't know why none of the spies came back to report the news."
It would be strange if someone came back to report the news.
Most of the spies of the Shu army were killed by Liao Ji quietly last night.
If they can't even do this, then it's probably Liao Ji and the others who will be punished.
But no matter what, this is not a reason for dereliction of duty.
After all, this is no small matter.
Today, the location of the Liangzhou Army is not only the food supply for the Shu Army.
The road is the retreat route for the Shu army.
Once there is a crisis at Jianmen Pass, they will retreat from this road.
But now this road is blocked by the Liangzhou Army.
This means that they will no longer have food and grass in the future, let alone a way out.
Once Jianmen Pass is breached, they can only wait to die here...
Thinking of this, Shang Yunxian felt even more depressed.
He waved his hand directly and said: "Come here, pull this man out and behead him to prove military law!"
"Spare your life, General."
"Spare your life, General."
"I didn't neglect my duty, I really didn't neglect my duty..."
The general also cried and begged for mercy.
But is it useful?
If you make such a big mistake, you will definitely die.
Otherwise, how can we make the soldiers in the army obedient?
How can we convince the generals in the army?
Even among the generals present, no one spoke up to help him.
Because they all know that the crime this guy committed really deserves to be killed.
Not long after, the crying outside suddenly stopped.
Immediately afterwards, a soldier walked in from outside holding a wooden tray.
Placed on the tray was the general's head.
"Everyone, I have to remind everyone."
"This is a time of war, and what we are facing is the most elite team in the Tang Dynasty."
"If something goes wrong, not only will I lose my head, but so will you."
"So, I won't allow anyone to slack off even a little bit about this in the future, otherwise..."
Shang Yunxian pointed at the head and said, "Don't blame me, Mr. Shang, for being cruel."
After hearing this, everyone quickly bowed their heads in response and swore an oath to Shang Yunxian.
At this moment, Chen Fukuan on the side suddenly spoke.
"Coach, what should we do next?"
he said : "How about I take someone to give it a try?"
"No need."
"It's no use if you go."
"Looking at the situation of those Liangzhou troops, can't you tell?"
"Li Chengqian has been prepared for this."
Shang Yunxian shook his head and said: "We can only wait and see what plans Li Chengqian will make next..."
Speaking of this, Shang Yunxian suddenly narrowed his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he looked up at Chen Fukuan and said: "Old Chen, the next exploration of the horse camp is under your control. I need to know the movements of the Liangzhou Army in real time. Can you do it?"
