Chapter 1374

When LV Lingqi spoke to Chen Gong, Wei Xu's figure finally appeared in their sight. He left as the last one. When everyone entered the secret Road, Wei Xu appeared neatly on the wall several times to confuse the Tang army outside the city.

"Lord!" Seeing LV Lingqi above the camp gate, Wei Xu quickly stepped forward and bowed down;

"Uncle, I've worked hard. Has everyone come out? Have the entrance and exit of the secret passage been sealed?" LV Lingqi nodded and asked Wei Xu;

"It's not hard. The entrance of the secret road was sealed by Chen Xuan. Someone left after watching it with his own eyes. The exit has been sealed with boulders, and the camouflage has been restored outside."

"Well, now that we've all come out, let's go quickly! Stay for another moment, and there will be more danger." Hearing the speech, LV Lingqi immediately ordered, "come on, send orders, and the army will start!"

"Promise!"

With her order, the last thousand forbidden guards in the secret camp quickly gathered and left the stone city to the West. As for the others, they had already left the secret camp in batches under the escort of soldiers and horses.

……

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning rose from the East, the Tang army camp became lively again. Tang soldiers who had had breakfast began to line up and approach Jinyang city.

Tens of thousands of troops arrived at Jinyang city and stopped hundreds of steps away. A moment later, several cavalry soldiers of the Tang army lined up and rode to a hundred steps away from the city wall. The first man shouted to the garrison at the head of the city: "listen to the garrison in the city. The king has orders, whether to fight or fall. There must be a reply within the time of a pillar of incense. As soon as the time comes, the army will attack the city immediately!"

After saying that, he turned over and dismounted, lit a incense stick, put it on the ground, then rode on his war horse, turned away and returned, and entered the Chinese army to recover his life.

Above the city wall, Chen Xuan and Zhang Wei had already been on the city wall. However, Chen Xuan didn't want to open the city so quickly. He wanted to buy more time for the people who left.

……

Lishi, in the county government, Chen Yi was awakened by his generals early in the morning. Yesterday afternoon, he received a secret order signed jointly by the princess, the national captain and his father. He knew that King Lv Bu had died in the war. Now his father and a large number of officials and generals of the state of Zhao have terminated the princess.

Although he didn't quite understand the arrangements for the army to flee from Jinyang to the west, he didn't say much. After receiving the secret order, he immediately got people ready.

Although he was the chief General of Lishi, and Lishi was also the last line of defense of the state of Zhao against the attack of the Tang army from Hetao in the west, there were not many troops in Lishi. There were only 5000 troops in total, and there were only 1500 elite soldiers, 1000 infantry, 500 cavalry, and the remaining 3500 were newly recruited soldiers.

Had it not been for the natural danger of the river, the Tang army would have attacked the East Bank of the river. Now his main troops are arranged at two ferries on the East Bank of the river.

Among them, there are 3000 troops at yongheguan ferry in the south, because opposite them is Yanshuiguan ferry, which is heavily garrisoned by the Tang army, and there are more than 10000 Tang troops opposite. In addition, he arranged 500 soldiers at the Tukou ferry in the north. Unlike yongheguan ferry, Tukou ferry is more convenient to cross from east to west, but it is more difficult to cross the river from west to east bank.

After receiving the news, Chen Yi immediately sent someone to understand the situation of the two ferries and the Tang army opposite. Now he sent out to inquire about the taxi soldiers and reported the situation to him.

"Report to the general, news has come back from both ferries. The Tang army at Yanshui pass in the south is still stationed, and there is no abnormal reaction. There is no abnormal situation opposite tukoudu in the north. No one will send someone to sneak across overnight to explore and find that there are less than 100 Tang soldiers opposite."

"What's the terrain opposite? Is there a suitable location for the army to camp?"

"There is no suitable place. According to the brothers who came back, the valley opposite is only a few to ten steps wide. There is not much place to accommodate too many people."

After walking back and forth in the hall for two times, Chen Yi said: "you will take another 200 this evening... No, take 500 soldiers to sneak over quietly. After meeting with the previous soldiers, you will hide near the Tang army patrol point and wait for the general's order. As long as the general's order comes, you will lead the troops to annihilate all the Tang army opposite, and no one can be left behind."

"General..."

"Remember, no one should miss the net! Then, prepare to meet the army to cross the river!"

Looking at his subordinates who wanted to stop talking, Chen Yi didn't say much, but waved his hand to let him go down to rest and prepare to cross the river in the evening. It's not that he doesn't believe this subordinate, but he doesn't want too many people to know about it. After all, it's too important.

Almost at the same time, Zhang Quan, the leader of lengquanguan, also received a secret order. Zhang Quan, Zhang Yang's eldest son, has always been valued by Lv Bu. Even if Zhang Yang lost his Shangdang, Lv Bu still didn't blame Zhang Yang more, but put their father and son more important.

Zhang Quan was appointed by Lv Bu as the fifth grade Yang Wei general because of his bravery and meticulous mind. He ordered him to lead the troops in Lengquan pass. Lengquanguan is located in the south of Jiexiu. Its location is quite steep. It is the only channel for the Tang army to go north from Hanoi to Taiyuan.

Although there are only five thousand soldiers and horses in the pass, the war soldiers account for three thousand people. In addition, there are five hundred cavalry and fifteen hundred newly recruited soldiers. Even though Lv Bu repeatedly drew soldiers and horses from the player's territory, he did not draw one soldier and one soldier from lengquanguan, but increased the number of soldiers and horses from the original 3000 to 5000.

There was not much war in Lengquan pass. Although tens of thousands of Tang troops were stationed in Lingshi South Pass in the south, Tang troops never stepped out of Lingshi South Pass except that at the beginning, Yang Fengling's leader launched several rounds of attacks on Lengquan pass and failed.

After receiving the secret order, Zhang Quan did not hesitate for long. He soon called his confidant. After explaining for a moment, he ordered the soldiers and cavalry to assemble and evacuate towards Jiexiu, leaving only his confidant to lead a hundred cavalry to guard the pass. The statement given to the 1500 soldiers of the pass was that now the Tang army was attacking Lishi, and he was ordered to lead the army to support it.

The army hurried all the way and arrived at Jiexiu in only half a day. After a half day's rest, they set out with Xu Ji and more than 200 elite Jiexiu soldiers all night and rushed to Zhongyang city in the west to meet the soldiers and horses of other cities.

On this day, the officials and generals of the cities in the south of Jinyang received secret orders that the Tang army was trying to cross the river to attack Taiyuan, and asked them to personally lead the most elite soldiers in the city to Zhongyang to meet and prepare to send troops to support Zhongyang.

It's strange that they can use all the weapons they need in the city before the battle, but it's also possible for them to use all the weapons they need.
