Seeing that the outposts and horses had already taken a stand at the valley east of Langxi City, but the guards were timid and did not dare to go out to fight, Zhou Chu, Zhao Qi and others, surrounded by guards, rushed to their respective battalions to supervise the troops.
The main force of the three capitals will advance towards Maduyukou, and then divide their forces towards Yanzipu in the south and Changshan in the north to prepare for a strong attack on Langxi City from three sides.
Zhang Ping, Feng Yi, Kong Xirong, Wei Chang and a guard camp of 500 people were still guarding behind Han Qian.
In the simple defense camp in Tingzi Mountain, there are more than a thousand infantry troops commanded by Xiao Dahu as the battalion commander, serving as the final reserve team.
This is all the troops and horses used to attack Langxi City. Even if some elites from the Second Capital are transferred from the eastern front later, they will only be dispersed to the periphery and used to fight against the Xuancheng reinforcements and the Chuzhou Army's advance.
In this battle, they not only had to capture Langxi City as quickly as possible, but before doing so, they also had to resolutely block the Zhao Zhen Division and Gu Zhilong of the Chuzhou Army stationed in Liyang from being able to mobilize in Xuancheng.
Seven to eight thousand reinforcements.
Listening to Han Qian's words "Thousands of people, I will go", Zhang Ping secretly sighed in his heart. Marquis Li Pu of Xinchang looks mediocre, but he has no obvious shortcomings. When it comes to commanding troops and political planning, he has certain abilities.
level, but in the final analysis, it still lacks a spirit that can overflow from the bones.
Kong Xirong and Wei Chang also led the guard battalion to advance to the hillside below so that they could enter the front line immediately if necessary.
In this battle, Han Qian staked the fate and future of himself and the Chishan Army. Han Qian was calm and composed, but Zhang Ping could not keep calm. He dragged Feng Yi to the front line so that he could observe the city more carefully.
Head the enemy's reaction.
In the end, only Xi Rong and dozens of Xi boys were left standing on the mountain ridge with Han Qian, waiting for the fiercest battle to begin under the scorching sun of early autumn...

…………
The Fu family has a villa in Baoshi Mountain, southeast of Xuancheng.
The war has not yet extended to the outskirts of Xuancheng, and the Fu family's villa in Baoshi Mountain is still full of slaves, singing and dancing.
At the southern foot of Baoshi Mountain, there is a large, flat and fertile field. It was originally a family property of the Han family in Xuancheng. It covers an area of about 100 hectares and is usually cultivated by more than 300 slaves.
At the beginning of planning the war to reduce the vassal vassal, Han Qian led his troops to "abscond" out of Beijing. Han Daoming and Han Daochang did not know the inside story, and in fear, they brought their nephews to Beijing to plead guilty.
At that time, the whole drama was fully performed, and Emperor Tianyou ordered the Han family to disperse their farmhouses and slaves in Xuanshe and other states, and moved all the family members to Jinling to serve as hostages.
The land and more than 300 slaves at the southern foot of Baoshi Mountain were transferred to a wealthy family at a very low price. In addition, the land and houses in Ningguo, Jingxian, Xinshezhou and other places were painstakingly managed by three generations of the Han family.
More than 1,500 hectares, more than 3,000 houses, more than 3,000 slaves, plus dozens of shops operated, and two copper mines were sold, and the total was exchanged for more than 300,000 yuan of goods.
Enter Beijing.
After the vassal reduction war officially kicked off, in addition to the lessons learned from the Feng family, it was also revealed to the world that Han Daoxun and Han Qian were ordered to run Xuzhou. The Han family could only place the treasure on the third prince Yang Yuanpu and take it.
He sent a large amount of goods to help Yang Yuanpu raise food, soldiers and other supplies in Ezhou.
Before the Han family could redeem the land and houses they had sold at a low price from the Fu family and others, the Jinling Incident broke out.
Han Jun stood in a pavilion in the Fu family's courtyard, thinking that after his grandfather and second uncle met Gu Zhilong, they should also have a private discussion with the rich family about redeeming the land, house and slaves.
It was already August, and the courtyard was built on the hillside. The weather had cooled down. From a distance, I saw a group of cavalry turning from behind the cliff into the stone path up the mountain. Han Jun lifted up his robe and led his attendants to the guests.
Walk to the courtyard.
Seeing that the owner Fu Mo was accompanying his grandfather in the lobby of the guest house and his second uncle was talking, he stepped forward and bowed and said:
"A group of cavalry is coming up the mountain. It should be Gu Zhilong - should we go to greet Mr. Gu?"
"Master Han, please be patient for a moment while I go to greet the governor and meet Mr. Han." Fu Mo, who was over sixty years old, also had gray mane. In any case, before Gu Zhilong really made up his mind to serve Yueyang, Han Wenhuan
, no news about Han Daochang in Xuancheng can be leaked.
The rich family still wanted to take shelter from Gu Zhilong on the ground in Xuanzhou. There was no way the Han family would be allowed to play such a small game.
"Jun'er, don't be impatient for a moment, we'll just wait here." Han Daochang said.
Fu Mo left to greet Gu Zhilong, and specifically told his eldest son to guard the courtyard with a few direct family soldiers.
"Gu Zhilong returned to Xuancheng and went straight to Baoshi Mountain. It can be seen that he was more anxious than us - this is really interesting!" Although Han Jun was restrained in the guest house and could not move around at will, he was still very excited.
, thinking that Gu Zhilong would lead Xuanzhou soldiers and horses to surrender to Yueyang. In addition to quickly opening up the passage to Hengzhou, they would also have 60,000 soldiers and horses south of Jinling.
When the time comes, the third prince, Yang Yuanpu, will gather 100,000 land and water troops in Yueyang and march eastward along the river. As long as he can successfully conquer the Jiangchi Shuchao prefectures, isn't it possible that the great Chu country will be determined soon?
By then, even if Han Qian is excluded, the power held by the Han family in Dachu can be said to be at its peak, right?
"Wow!", listening to the sound of soldiers and armors swarming together, Han Jun thought that Gu Zhilong was walking in a hurry surrounded by guards, but the noise was too noisy. He didn't know what was going on, so he looked out the half-opened door.
Looking over, I saw a large group of black armored soldiers, carrying swords, spears, swords and spears, rushing into the yard like wolves and tigers, and running straight towards the corridor.
Han Jun was startled and didn't know what was going on. He heard a "boom" and the first few warriors who rushed into the corridor kicked open the half-closed door with their feet and raised their swords with murderous intent.
Rushing in.
"What are you going to do?"
Han Jun subconsciously wanted to pull the sword from his waist, but when he failed, he remembered that he had put all the swords and armor in the bedroom early in the morning in preparation for meeting Gu Zhilong.
Before he could react further, Captain Biaoyong, who had a scar on his face, kicked him in the chest, pulled out his sword and put it on Han Jun's neck, then stared at the man sitting in front of the hall.
Han Wenhuan asked, "Are you that old man Han Wenhuan?"
"Who are you?" Han Wenhuan grabbed the chair tremblingly, stared at the visitor calmly and shouted, "Where is Mr. Fu?"
"Master Fu, that old dog Fu Mo?" Another military attache who looked like a school lieutenant came in with a sneer. When he saw Han Daochang trying to protect Han Wenhuan, he punched him and knocked Han Daochang staggering back.
It fell down and brought down two pear blossom chairs with a crash.
Han Jun looked out the door at this time and saw Fu Mo being held tightly by several strong men and pushed in.
Han Jun had no idea what was going on, and his mind was racing very fast. He saw that the courtyard was packed with hundreds of people, and thought that near Xuancheng, it was impossible for Gu Zhilong to let so many cavalry infiltrate quietly and hijack them. He thought to himself
Could it be that Gu Zhilong wanted to show off to them?
Thinking of this, regardless of the pain in his chest, he asked sharply: "We are the distinguished guests invited by Gu Zhilong. Who are you?"
"Excuse me!" The brave captain with the scar on his face turned the blade of the knife and hit Han Jun's forehead hard with the spine of the knife. Regardless of Han Jun's screams, he ordered his men to kill Han Wenhuan.
, Han Daochang, Han Jun and Fu Mo and his son were all tied up and dragged into and out of the yard.
Han Jun struggled to see hundreds of people outside the guest courtyard.
The rich family's soldiers and slaves in other courtyards dared to sit and watch the master. The eldest son was rushed and robbed by a large group of people. At this time, dozens of strong men in the village came from all around with simple spears and forks.
.
In comparison, the several guards brought by Han Wenhuan and Han Daochang saw that the old man, the second master and the eldest son were under control and did not dare to rush over rashly.
"Wow!" Those fierce soldiers had no intention of entangled with the Fu family soldiers. They first formed a formation with shields and knives and then went out to drive away the villagers. Then two small teams of cavalry took advantage of the space to clear up and drove their horses in the valley in front of the courtyard.
Rushing back and forth, swords raised and lowered, swords flashed and swords flashed, and dozens of villagers were immediately chopped to the ground. Blood spattered everywhere, scaring the others away. Then the two hundred cavalrymen went directly to the villa from the path in front of the valley.
Go outside.
Han Jun initially thought that the bandits from the depths of Fuyu Mountain or Yi Mountain pretended to be Xuanzhou soldiers and rushed into the villa to kidnap them. However, they were tied to the back of the horse, and their soft bellies pressed against the skinny back of the horse, making their internal organs vomit.
When they came out, they saw that the cavalry did not lead them to escape into the mountains, but instead galloped straight to Xuancheng to the north of Baoshi Mountain.
After all, Han Wenhuan was an old man in his seventies. After all the troubles, when he was taken to the Yamen of the Governor's Mansion, he saw that the air coming in was less than the air coming out. Finally, he was dragged into the lobby by two military men.
Han Daochang and Han Jun were a little better. They looked up and saw Gu Zhilong sitting behind the long desk with red eyes, a pair of tiger eyes that wanted to eat them alive.
"Master Gu, what do you mean by this? Is it possible that you want to take our heads to claim credit from Anning Palace?" Han Daochang didn't know what happened, but he was sure that their situation was not good. His face turned pale and he tried to stay calm.
's question.
"Ask me what do you mean?" Gu Zhilong was known for his gloomy temperament in his early years. He gave up martial arts and became a scholar. Since he became the governor of Xuanzhou, he has become more refined and cultivated his moral character. At this moment, he was standing tall and hairy. He picked up the tea cup in front of the case and smashed it hard.
On the grindstone ground in front of Han Daochang, he shouted like smoke from his seven orifices, "You asked me to meet in private. I just led people out of Langxi City with my front foot, and the Chishan Army surrounded Langxi City with my back foot. What do you mean?"
Hearing what Gu Zhilong said, Han Daochang's vision went dark and he almost breathed his last. He should have guessed that the beast had a grudge against them for not saving Lao San.
