The morning sun shines down.
A little fog rose from Mount Li.
As the cold winter approaches, the soldiers put on thick winter clothes.
He looked around with his bloodshot eyes.
The mountains are quite muddy.
It is also very difficult to walk.
Several temporary arrow towers stand outside.
Tian Bi was also patrolling while wearing a lamb fur coat.
Seeing these soldiers who stayed up all night to patrol, he immediately raised his hand and ordered: "You don't need to patrol anymore, hurry up and go back to rest."
"Thank you, Prince!"
"Have someone prepare some broth to ward off the cold."
Tian Bi rubbed his hands and felt that they were even colder than yesterday.
He led over 10,000 elite troops and attacked Mount Li. He then immediately built fortifications, blocking all the key thoroughfares along the entire mountain. If Ning Que attempted to pass through Mount Li, he would have to pay a terrible price.
At the same time, he was sure that Ning Que had no siege equipment.
Speed is of the essence in war, so Ning Que will only go into battle lightly.
There is definitely no such thing as the ladder or Lu Gongche.
In this way, Ning Que can only pass through Mount Li.
Tian Bi has already issued a death order.
No matter what Ning Que does, they must be nailed to death in Mount Li!
If Ning Que wants to think about it, he will have to pay a heavy price!
At least he has to be delayed for half a month.
The entire Qi and Liaodong regions are now in chaos.
Tian Zhongxun’s strategy was to surround the enemy and attack their reinforcements.
With Linzi City as the core, heavy troops were set up in ambushes in various places.
"We still have to keep guarding today."
"Based on Ning Que's speed, it will only take two days."
"After eating and drinking, don't be idle."
"Keep digging and molding the dirt into a fortress."
"Seal off all the main roads to Mount Li."
"Fortify the walls and clear the fields, chop down all the trees!"
As a disciple of Jixia Academy, Tian Bi was proficient in the Six Arts.
I also have a lot of experience in warfare.
He climbed to a high place and looked into the distance.
But I don't feel very confident in my heart.
He can only do his best and leave the rest to fate.
"Prince, there's something strange at the foot of the mountain."
"What?"
"There are traces of a camp at the foot of the mountain, and numerous footprints halfway up the mountain. Although they've been carefully concealed, they're still visible." The guard raised his hand and bowed, his face grave as he spoke, "We've conducted a thorough investigation. Many people must have come to Mount Li last night, but they've already left."
"Are you serious?!"
Tian Bi grabbed his clothes in surprise.
"Where?"
"Take me there quickly!"
"It's quite far up the mountain, and I'm afraid it'll take more than half an hour to walk. But rest assured, my lord, I'm not lying. I used to be a hunter, and I'm very good at following the trails in the mountains. I'm sure someone must have been here before, and they probably only walked for a few hours."
"Ning Que, they're gone..."
"not good!"
"He must have gone to Gaotang County!"
Tian Bi's face changed drastically.
Countless thoughts flooded into my mind.
Ning Que's speed was even faster than he had imagined.
It is very likely that they arrived at Mount Li last night.
Then send spies up the mountain to search.
After discovering that they had sent heavy troops to guard the area, they decisively withdrew and turned to attack Gaotang County.
That’s right, Ning Que didn’t have any siege equipment.
But they have at least 30,000 elite soldiers.
It is ten times the strength of the Gaotang County garrison!
It is not difficult to break the city.
Tian Bi clenched his hands tightly, his thoughts racing.
He was also wondering how to remedy the situation.
"Captain Nie, you will lead the cavalry to support Gaotang immediately. Captain Wang, you will lead the infantry to follow behind. We must defend Gaotang at all costs."
"promise!"
The two captains bowed at the same time.
They hastily recruited their troops and then set off directly.
As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war, they are just racing against time.
Ning Que is moving so fast, he must be able to break the city!
"Prince, what should we do?"
"To prevent Ning Que from turning around and counterattacking, you should continue to reinforce the fortifications."
Tian Bi breathed a sigh of relief.
He had carefully studied Ning Que's fighting style.
The operation of crossing the river twice was simply amazing.
They couldn't figure it out even if they racked their brains.
Therefore, Ning Que is also likely to replicate the operation.
It seemed that they were going to attack Gaotang, but in fact they were making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.
“Ning Que…”
"Let me see what else you can do!"
…
…
At dawn.
Ning Que reined in his horse and stopped.
Looking ahead at the quiet Gaotang City.
It was dark and I couldn't see how many guards there were.
"Your Majesty, it seems that Gaotang really doesn't have many people!"
"There are gaps in several places."
"There aren't many guards at all."
"It's natural."
Ning Que smiled.
He turned to look at the panting soldiers.
"Tell the soldiers to rest here first."
"Once the city gates are opened, rush in and rest!"
The soldiers haven't had a rest for a long time.
This time, they even ran fifty miles in the middle of the night.
Now everyone is out of breath.
I can't even stand steadily.
But Ning Que didn't dare to delay.
Tian Bi is no fool.
There was such a big commotion at the foot of the mountain that it was easy to spot.
They are just racing against time!
Ning Que looked at Tie Niu next to him again.
"Qinghe trained you a lot back then."
"He performed very well in Mount Alexandra last time."
"This time, let me see if you can break the city."
"Yes!"
Tie Niu looked at Chun Lun proudly.
"Just watch carefully and learn well."
"Look how I broke into the city this time!"
Special operations were proposed by Ning Que.
