"How far are we from Lianyun Castle?"

Riding on the horse, Cheng Qianli looked at the rising river along the way with a worried look on his face. After they marched from Beigu Road, although it was not as easy as the road of Chifotang, the entire army was full of cavalry and the speed was not much different. Now it is the ninth day of the seventh month, and it is only one day away from the day of the meeting scheduled by the Great Protector. However, the sudden surge in Poyi Water really made him feel troublesome.

"The Protector, there are less than forty miles left, so we should be able to arrive before the sunset."

Jia Chongguan immediately looked at the map and replied that this map was much more accurate than the map they used before, and roughly drew the nearby terrain.

"Protector, even if Chen Lang's road is easy to walk on, it shouldn't be much faster than us?"

Zhao Chongqi, who was beside him, also spoke. Although everyone knew that the Protector wanted to give Chen Lang the skill of taking Lianyun Castle, he always felt a little dissatisfied.

"If you don't say these useless things, let the entire army speed up."

Cheng Qianli didn't think so much. Gao Xianzhi had become the magistrate. What's the use of him even if he was trying to win the merits? He wanted to be the head coach, but he just wanted to prove that he was no worse than Gao Xianzhi.

"Protector."

"What's so hurrying."

Seeing the sudden arrival of a front-line cavalry, Cheng Qianli frowned, but the news reported by the cavalry made him, Jia Chongsheng and Zhao Chongsheng stunned.

"Protector, just now the scouts from Paoling Town were waiting by the road, saying that General Chen had taken down Lianyun Castle and was waiting for our army to join forces."

Feiqi, who came to report, was full of surprise. If he had not tested the military cards of the scouts, and the other party had a fluent and authentic Heluo accent, he would have suspected that this was a detailed work sent by the Tubo people.

"Where are people, please come quickly to see someone!"

Cheng Qianli looked back at Jia Chongguan and Zhao Chongguan. They were still discussing how to cross the river. Chen Lang fell to the point where he actually took down Lianyun Castle.

Soon, the three of them saw the scouts who came to report the news. They were obviously like Hepantuo people, but they had a Heluo accent. They were indeed the ones who were the Captain of the Pamirs.

"How did General Chen take down Lianyun Castle?"

"Protector, General Chen arrived at the north bank of Poyi River on the seventh day of the seventh month. After contacting us, he crossed the river at night..."

The lieutenant who answered was very good and said that the Sailing Ye Army's surprise attack on Lianyun Castle on a rainy night was wonderful? Even Cheng Qianli and the other three kept admiring the climax. Can Chen Lang seize the fleeting fighter opportunity and decisively pull the city? It is really a famous general.

Cheng Qianli was completely convinced this time? Gao Xianzhi had a much better look at people than him. He thought that Gao Xianzhi would repay him this time? He helped Chen Lang succeed with the power of the Anxi Army, but he didn't expect that Chen Lang could fight like this? He took down a fortress like Lianyun Castle with less than 400 people. It was not seen with his own eyes or heard with his own ears, so who could believe it?

"Tell the whole army this news, let's advance quickly? Cross the river overnight? Join General Shen and the others."

Since Lianyun Castle has fallen, Cheng Qianli has no worries, it doesn’t matter how high the river water rises. It’s not difficult to have the Sacred Ye Army approaching the other side of the river, and it’s not difficult to cross the river at night.

After a while, Cheng Qianli heard the cheers coming from the whole army. For the soldiers below, although they had lost the merit of seizing the city, they did not need to attack the near Lianyun Castle? Isn’t it a good thing to be able to go home in full force!

Forty miles of march along the river bank, Cheng Qianli and his team only took two hours to reach the estuary of the river prepared by Chen Guang for them? The ropes pulled up on both sides were laid with wooden boards to make temporary pontoon bridges? Although it was shaky? The horses could not pass, but people were more careful and walked over without any obstacles.

It was already evening at this time, but the light was still sufficient. Cheng Qianli asked Jia Chongguan and Zhao Chongguan to command the army to divide their troops across the river, but he couldn't wait to cross the river and head directly to Lianyun Castle. When he saw that Lianyun Castle was surrounded by cliffs on three sides, he could only face the north side of the Poyi River that could still be climbed, and he couldn't help but breathe.

I had known that the terrain of Lianyun Castle was dangerous, but I didn't expect it to be so dangerous. Now Cheng Qianli's thought of "I can do it, too." He was not that he could not defeat Lianyun Castle, but that he could not defeat Chen Lang's battle loss. If he was asked to attack for a strong force, it would be better if the three thousand soldiers under his command could survive half of them.

Cheng Qianli did not walk on the fort on the mountain road, but was picked up by a hanging basket. After reaching the city wall, he could vaguely see the soldiers crossing the river on the distant river surface. He couldn't help but say, "This battle in Chen Lang is really wonderful, Cheng admires it."

"Cheng Duhu Mixuan, the success of this battle is due to the soldiers' lives, and the other is due to the blessing of God."

Chen Guang did not take his credit before Cheng Qian, and this made Cheng Qianli more convinced. No one in the Anxi army could be as humble as Chen Lang. If someone else had won such a victory, he would have to be proud of himself to heaven.

"Prince Cheng, please."

Chen Guang led Cheng Qianli to the cleaned mansion of the general. Although Lianyun Castle is now in the village, there are still 8,000 troops in the village. If he wants to wipe it out, it naturally requires the cooperation of Cheng Qianli's troops, especially Cheng Qianli's army arrived one day in advance, which also gave him more confidence.

In the room where the candle was lit, Chen Guang had already made a simple sand table model with sand. "Protector Cheng, the Tubo pirate army still has a large village in the valley twenty miles away. There are 5,000 bandit soldiers and 3,000 servants. Their troops are complete and the camp is very strong."

Cheng Qianli didn't expect that as soon as he arrived, Chen Guang pulled him to talk about the war. Although he was a little surprised, he soon became happy because Chen Guang wanted to take down the thief army camp with him.

"Chen Lang is planning to lead the bandit army out of the camp to help, and then attack him halfway."

Cheng Qianli is also a long-time general in the army. However, in a few simple words, he guessed Chen Guang's intention, but this is also the best tactic at present.

"Protector Cheng knows me, I have ordered people to repair the beacon tower in Lianyun Castle. In two days, the thief army will send people to transport supplies here. I plan to light the wolf smoke when they are about to arrive. At that time, I will lead my army to attack the city. I will also ask Protector Cheng to lead his army to hide in the mountains and forests halfway, and wait for most of the thief army to come to help and attack me on both sides."

"Great kindness, this will definitely defeat the thief army."

After hearing Chen Guangfen's words, Cheng Qianli couldn't help but be overjoyed. As for the next two days, it was nothing in his opinion.

"Master, here is the face."

Duowen pushed the door open and was holding two large bowls of steaming red soup mutton noodles in his hand. The scent of the nose immediately made Cheng Qianli's index finger move. At this time, Fang Zi remembered that he had been here for a long time and had never eaten anything.

"Protector Cheng, the army is simple, so he can only treat you to noodles."

"It's good to eat noodles. Some of the time, I've been wanting to eat some hot soup."

Thinking of the days when Ye Jun was not with the army, the food was much worse than before, Cheng Qianli couldn't help but quickly brought a big bowl and squatted on the ground with Shen Guang to eat noodles.

"Why don't there be even tables and chairs in this place?"

"I asked the thief general to order people to smash them, and then I asked the soldiers to take them to burn the fire."
