"Hahaha," Qin Langchuan stepped forward to help General Yan up and said with a smile, "You are a good person. We have been separated for more than twenty years. I didn't expect you to become the Chief Military Officer. The green-headed boy is now middle-aged.

It’s amazing!”

General Yan said with emotion: "If it hadn't been for your advice back then, I, a deserter, would never have been able to become a general in my life." His eyes sparkled as he spoke.

Qin Langchuan glanced at the soldiers on both sides and said with a smile: "You are an upright man, there is no need to mention the past."

"It doesn't matter." General Yan understood Qin Langchuan's intention, but he didn't care. He turned sideways and said, "Old Master, I don't dare to leave because I have military affairs. How about we go to the archery tower in the city to talk?"

Qin Langchuan looked in the direction he had given, nodded in response, and ordered the dozen or so warriors accompanying him to rest in the helm, and led Anzi to Qibei Mountain and the others to the city.

Chang Sihao followed from behind, climbed up the stairs, passed three platforms, and then climbed to the top of the city. He saw the sky high outside the city and the wilderness, the mountains in the distance were silent, the night was dark and vast, and there were thousands of households in the city, connected by houses and courtyards.

Row upon row, the lanterns and sparks shine as brightly as the bright moon, and it makes one feel happy to look at them.

A gust of wind blows in the face, and the horns of the flags are dancing. The soldiers are stationed at the crenels, as cold and solemn as eagles, looking into the distance with a calm mind. The road on the top of the city is very wide, allowing two cars to pass by. There is a watchtower more than a hundred paces away.

, there were thirteen forts built next to the enemy tower. They were covered with oil coats to cover the muzzles of the guns. There were gunpowder boxes piled next to them, and the surface was also covered with oilcloth to prevent rain. As he walked past, he caught a glimpse of something inside the enemy tower.

The sergeant put on his clothes and took a nap to wait for the change of guard. In the firelight, a pair of eyes were closed safely, and the vicissitudes of military life were displayed on his face. He couldn't help but recall the past, and blood rushed to his heart.

In front is a large archery tower built with a wall, with a white stone base and blue brick walls. The building is divided into four floors. The bottom floor only has a high round door opening. The upper two floors are densely covered with shooting holes, where archers are hidden. The windows on the upper floor are smaller and there are clairvoyance eyes on all four corners.

To keep an eye on the enemy.

General Yan invited everyone into the archery tower and ordered the small army to book a table at a hotel in the city. Qin Langchuan stopped him and said that the enemy was not far away and military affairs were important. Everything should be done frugally. Besides, dry food had been used outside, so it was okay if the wind did not catch the wind.

General Yan did not dare to disobey and had no choice but to obey. He had no official airs in front of Qin Langchuan. Everyone looked at it strangely, guessing that there must be a past between him and the old man. They made random guesses in their minds and sat around the simple conference table.

After that, Qin Langchuan asked: "Have you ever found out where I am going?"

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, thinking that the old man asked straight to the point about the military situation, which was really refreshing.

General Yan said: "According to the report from the horse patrol this afternoon, the enemy troops are moving slowly. They just arrived at the Hun River and seem to be planning to change their route."

"Oh?" Qin Langchuan had doubts on his face when he heard this, Qi Beishan said: "Is it possible that he knows that the Datong defenders have made preparations, and does not want to fight this tough battle, so he wants to attack elsewhere?" Qin Juexiang said: "The Tatars have

So ghost?" General Yan said: "I have been in charge of the army for decades and have extremely rich combat experience. I am also a military advisor, Bock, who is resourceful and able to act according to the situation. This kind of strategy is just a small trick they commonly use."

Chen Shengyi deeply agreed: "That's right. When Qiu Luan was defending Datong, when I came to attack, I changed the route to Gubeikou, demolished the Huangyugou Great Wall and passed by, and successfully besieged Beijing. Are they going to repeat their old tricks this time?"

An Ziteng said: "It's hard to say." Qin Langchuan smiled: "In any case, they are all going to invade the country and plunder the territory. It doesn't matter where we change the route. We just have to deal with him how we should deal with him."

Whether the enemy troops change their route involves specific defense strategies, which is a top priority in the army. Seeing that he was so careless, General Yan expected that he had already made a plan, and said: "The old man must have a clever plan to defeat the enemy."

Qin Langchuan laughed: "I like to go straight when doing things. I have a plan, but it may not be great." Then he told the plan to capture the king.

General Yan was shocked and said: "No! There are a hundred thousand troops, reaching the sky. I heard that Anda's Iron Guard camp alone has three thousand troops. It is not easy to sneak in and assassinate."

Qin Langchuan asked: "How many people are there in Datong City?"

General Yan hesitated for a moment and said: "I dare not lie to the old man. We have one thousand cavalry and four thousand infantry, including two thousand musketeers and four hundred artillery. The rest are swordsmen, crossbowmen and spearmen, plus the militiamen."

There are more than 3,000 strong women, including Lord An's subordinates." Qin Langchuan said: "How can these men and horses hold the city?" Yan Zongbing said: "Otherwise, the walls of Datong are strong and there are francs.

We have fifty-two machine guns, ample ammunition, and our sergeants have been guarding the border for a long time and have rich experience in fighting the enemy. I have sent people to report to the court urgently to request reinforcements. We only need to persist for a few days, and the reinforcements will arrive. With two combined attacks, we can retreat the enemy.

"

After hearing what he said, they felt confident. Liangyin and Qingyin looked at each other, both of them lowered their eyes and said nothing.

Qin Langchuan smiled: "Your method is good. Oh, I'm tired too. Old people don't rely on their bones and muscles for strength. Haha, I'm a righteous man. You are busy with military affairs, so I won't bother you anymore. I'll take my leave now. Let's go another day.

Let’s talk.” General Yan saw that he was obsessed with it, but he couldn’t stop him because he was tired and sent the group down to the city.

Everyone was led by An Ziteng to the Changtian Escort Bureau in West Street. This Escort Agency is where the Datong branch of the Qin family has stopped doing business due to the war. An Ziteng assigned everyone a place to live, and also assigned people to lead the way for Hengshan and the two of them.

Shitai arranged for another courtyard alone. Liangyin was speechless. As the guide was about to leave, Qingyin couldn't help turning around and said: "General Yan insists on holding on. I'm afraid it's not a long-term plan. Donor Qin agreed with him. Is it possible?"

Have you changed your original intention?”

Qin Langchuan said: "The enemy is extremely powerful and we can't fight with a small number of soldiers. Defending is the only way to minimize losses. However, I'm attacking frequently and causing military disasters for many years. If we don't get rid of it, the soldiers and civilians on the border will not be able to rest in peace. I don't know what will happen."

How many lives have been ruined, but I have made up my mind to save it once and for all, Master, don’t doubt it.”

Qingyin said happily: "Donor Qin has compassion and has done immeasurable merits. The nun respects me. We will do our best to help him with the assassination." Qin Langchuan smiled and thanked him. Liangyin smiled: "This junior sister of mine is a real person.

, everyone is laughing." Qingyin suddenly said: "Senior sister, it turns out that you have already guessed that the previous benefactor Qin was trying to frustrate the officials, but you didn't say anything to me." Everyone understood and understood that these two nuns have extremely high skills.

, both have status as swordsmen, and with their help, the old master’s trip will be worthwhile and his heart will be uplifted. They all said: “Master Tai’s purity and ease are beyond the ordinary world.”

After a night's rest, the next day after washing and eating, everyone gathered in the middle hall. Chen Sheng said: "Old Master, I'm afraid it won't be possible to wait until the army comes to the city before attacking. If they change their route to attack elsewhere, the people in that area will suffer again. How about that?"

Let's go out of the city to meet him and intercept him halfway."

Qin Langchuan nodded: "It's exactly what I want. Without further ado, get ready to leave now. Da Chen, you and Juexiang will stay here to lead the valley and try new things. They can help Xichen and Lei Sheng to help General Yan defend the city. I and I

The two masters, Bei Shan and Xiao Hao can go ahead."

Chen Sheng asked: "The old man is going to a dangerous place and is in need of helpers. Why do you want to keep me here?" Qin Langchuan patted his shoulder and said: "Old Chen, with our skills, we may be able to defeat the siege after we succeed.

To protect yourself, your internal injuries have not healed, and you will be a burden even if you go." Chen Sheng was speechless, knowing in his heart that the old man was doing it for his own good and was telling the truth, so he lowered his head.

Qin Juexiang said: "Grandpa, I'm not injured, I want to follow you!" Qin Langchuan scolded: "Stop talking nonsense! With your little ability, even if you are not injured, you are almost like a disabled person! What's the use of...!" It hindered both of them.

There was a teacher present, so he just suppressed the word "fart".

Qin Juexiang stamped his feet and shouted: "My hidden weapon is so powerful that even strong martial artists can't dodge it. It's no problem to kill the Tatars!"

Qin Langchuan frowned and said: "Among thousands of troops, what's the use of a few concealed weapons? Just stay in the city!" Qin Jue was not angry, waved his hand and flew out with a dart, cutting off the lantern's lanyard in the corridor, and at the same time, he took it from his arms.

He quickly took out a crossbow barrel, held it in his hand and pulled the trigger. He fired the crossbow with great force, shooting the lantern that had not reached the ground into pieces in the air. He said with a smile on his face: "How?" He said the word He halfway.

, had been kicked away by Qin Langchuan, and fell straight outside the hospital, falling on his back.

He struggled to stand up, but couldn't. It turned out that the acupuncture points on his legs had been sealed.

Qin Langchuan scolded: "You dare to show your ugly face with little tricks. You refuse to practice martial arts diligently every day. Now that you are incompetent in battle, you can't blame others!" Qin Juexiang wanted to relieve his acupuncture points by himself, and tapped a few fingers, but it had no effect. He knew that his own skills were good.

Not enough, I am speechless and dejected.

Qin Langchuan didn't bother to look at him. He straightened his clothes and said, "Let's set off now. Please invite the two masters."

Liangyin and Qingyin stood up and clasped their hands together: "Almsgiver Qin, please!"

When everyone came out of the hospital, An Ziteng wanted to relieve Qin Juexiang's acupoints. Qin Langchuan said, "You can do it to him after we leave the city, so as not to cause trouble!" An Ziteng smiled and stopped.

Chang Sihao pressed Qin Juexiang's shoulder: "Juexiang, defending the city is also a big deal. Your hidden weapons can exert their power. Just stay with peace of mind." Qin Juexiang burst into tears in his eyes, filled with hatred and helplessness, and said:

"Brother, you have to be careful!" Chang Sihao nodded and walked out with everyone. Qin Juexiang suddenly shouted: "Brother! Take it with you!" Chang Sihao turned around, Qin Juexiang threw something, it was a long

The knife "cut the waves". Chang Sihao understood his intention and smiled lightly: "Okay." He inserted it into his waist along with "Xue Zhan", went out, mounted his horse, and followed the others straight out of West Street.

Walking to the edge of the city gate, An Ziteng waited for him to dismount. He knew that the journey to Qin Langchuan was extremely dangerous and it was really unpredictable whether he would live or die. Perhaps this farewell would be an eternal farewell. His eyes were filled with water and Qin Langchuan laughed: "Xi Chen

, Why are you acting like a daughter! Did you expect that I would definitely die during this trip?"

When Chen Sheng heard him say the word "death", he frowned and said, "Why did the old man say such unlucky words?"

Qin Langchuan smiled and said: "If it is said that death means death, if Cangjie had not coined this word, wouldn't everyone in the world have eternal life!"
