Yanshan is a strategic location in the northern part of Dayan. It starts from Yanghe in the west, ends at Shanhaiguan in the east, connects to Bashang and Nuerhu Mountain in the north, and to the south is the Central Plains of Hejian Prefecture. The height difference here is large, and a gorge is formed in the middle, which is called Gubeikou.

Since ancient times, this place has been a major transportation route between the north and the south. It has a very high military status and is a must-pass place for the northern enemy invasion. Since ancient times, it has been a must-defend place for military strategists. After the founding of the Dayan Kingdom, the capital was established north of this pass, which means guarding.

Unfortunately, wars in the north were frequently failed and they were unable to recover north of Yanshan Mountain. Therefore, when the previous generation of Emperor Gaozong, they moved the capital to their current capital, and the north was one of the capitals, and slowly withered down.

After that, Yan and Liao gradually fell into a tug-of-war battle, and signed some truce agreements during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, and the north was at peace. It has been more than thirty years since then, although the Great Yan has not reduced its vigilance against Liao.

The Great Yan has never deducted military pay from the Northland military supplies, but the Northland camp has begun to breed corruption, and some military slackness is already far from being as before.

Wu Qizhong, the commander of the Northern Line who guarded the northern part, was stationed in Liudu and was drinking and having fun in the mansion. There was no war in the northern part over the years. Apart from arranging the daily training of the various departments under his tent, he had no military needs to be dealt with.

But today is different from the past. Just as he was drinking with his newly-acquisitioned concubine, the soldiers below came to report: "Master General! Someone from Hejian Mansion came to ask for help, saying that there were a large group of soldiers and soldiers on the port!"

"What?" Wu Qizhong put down his wine glass, waved his hand, and asked the concubines and several maids who were serving him to go down, and then said, "Let him come in and speak!"

Knowing that he had something to do, the women quickly picked up the food and went out from behind. After a while, an officer was brought in, saluted, and stroked his chest with one hand: "I have met Shuai Wu! I am the head of the cavalry of Hejian camp Liu Xinnian!"

This man is the clan brother of Liu Xinyuan, the magistrate of Hejian, and his confidant in the Hejian camp. He is responsible for the few elite cavalry in the Hejian camp. He was the leader of the encirclement and suppression of horse bandits before.

"Come here and talk!" Wu Qizhong sat solemnly and said, "Tell me the matter in detail!"

"Abide by the order!" Liu Xinnian quickly handed a letter to Wu Qizhong and said, "This is my magistrate's letter of help. In the early morning of this year, a large number of soldiers and armored people were about to land at the port on the seaside of Hejian. There were more than 40 ships, about tens of thousands of people!"

"Ten thousand soldiers who don't know where they come from?" Wu Qizhong was shocked. The camp under his tent had only 100,000 troops, of which there were about 40,000 soldiers to fight, and the rest were auxiliary soldiers.

"It's not that the origin is unknown. These people are from the Yang family of Sanwu, Fengcheng Prefecture. A few days ago, they escorted 100,000 dan of grain to Fengcheng Prefecture to provide disaster relief. However, they encountered the horse bandits at that time, and their chief, the son-in-law of the Yang family, was missing. This time they said they were here to find this person!"

Liu Xinnian quickly told the news that Liu Xinyuan naturally did not keep it to him and explained to him what the prefect said, so as not to ask for help after he went to the Beidi Camp for some questions and no knowledge, and it would be difficult to ask for help.

"Is it an excuse to use this? Could it be that I want to raise the rebellion and occupy the Hejian Mansion during the disaster?" Wu Qizhong showed suspicion, which was exactly the same as Fang Mingxu's guess, but he frowned again and said, "But my camp in the north is adjacent to Hejian Mansion. They have such strength, but it is very unwise to choose Hejian?"

"We have not figured out the situation, but the government office has ordered the four gates of the city, summoned the Hejian camp to the port to intimidate me, and asked me to come here to ask for help, even if I hope that Wu Shuai can also send troops to help, form a horn to intimidate these people with unknown intentions!" Liu Xinnian quickly expressed his purpose, waiting for Wu Qizhong's reply.

"Report!" Wu Qizhong pondered for a moment, and was about to speak, but another soldier came to report: "The general is not good! The Liao army suddenly attacked! Gubeikou was broken!"

Wu Qizhong changed his color and stood up and rushed out. There was no war in more than 30 years, but he encountered it. He must immediately arrive at the Beidi Camp and prepare for a big battle. As for the matter of Hejian Mansion, he was too late to care about it!

When Liu Xinnian heard the news, he was stunned. Then he knew that there was no hope for help this time, and if the Liao army broke through the border, the Hejian Mansion would be the first to be affected and he had to go back to report the news.

Wu Qizhong was also calm in the face of danger. At least when he arrived at the Beidi camp, the Liao army was already outside the camp. The two armies were confronting each other. The Yan army used fortifications to resist the Liao cavalry.

When Wu Qizhong came to the central army tent, a general who was on duty today came to report: "Master General! Our army is retreating step by step, and is not the opponent of the opponent's cavalry. Now we can only trap the camp. If it doesn't work, then retreat to defend the city!"

"If you withdraw from the camp, then the Liao army can march straight into my heart and enter the hinterland of Dayan. This place must not be lost! It must be withstood!" Although Wu Qizhong likes to drink and delicacy, he still has some courage in the face of major events.

Seeing that the general on duty showed panic, he said again: "We have sufficient fortifications. They are mainly cavalry and will not be able to take it for a while. You can hold your foot first and don't retreat before defeat!"

"Yes!" The general sighed, received the military order and went out to arrange defense matters.

Outside the camp in the north at this time, the Liao general Yelu Yingbi immediately observed the fortifications here, feeling a little frown, and said to the people around him: "General Xiao! The opponent's fortifications are quite difficult, and I'm afraid it can't be easily taken!"

Xiao Huohuo, who was standing beside him, looked at him in confusion and said, "What are the plans of the Grandmaster? We finally took Gubeikou this time. If we were blocked here, wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?"

"After a while, the army will set up its formation and will launch a full-strength attack. At that time, you will lead your troops to charge from the flanks, break through to me, and go straight to the hinterland. Before the other party can react, strive to occupy the Hejian Mansion!" Yelu Yingbi showed a dangerous smile.

"Yes!" Xiao Huohuo took the order and said in confusion: "But Grandmaster, I heard that the Hejian Mansion is a burden if we take it!"

Yelu Yingbi smiled and explained: "After occupying the land of the palace, we have the capital to negotiate with Dayan! No matter whether I can really capture this northern camp, we are invincible and can let them spend money to redeem it. How can it be a burden?"

The Xiao family is the second largest clan of the Liao Kingdom and the descendant clan of the Liao Kingdom. It has always been complementary to the royal family, that is, the Yelu family. Xiao Huohuo is the younger brother of the Empress of the Great Liao Dynasty.

Moreover, he was also a cousin and brother-in-law with Yelu Yingbi's wife, and he was also his brother-in-law, so he explained a few more words to him and entrusted such important tasks to him, but he was naturally called a position in the army.

"So that's it!" Xiao Huohuo suddenly realized and said, "The great general's magic tricks are so good that Huohuo feels inferior!"

"You go and put the whole team!" Yelu Yingbi said solemnly: "When the entire army here is pressing over and you will get a chance for you, you will find an opportunity to break through!"

Xiao Huohuo immediately clasped his fists and said seriously: "Don't worry, handsome man! Huohuo will definitely not be humiliated!"

At this time, the Liao army had all passed through Gubeikou and launched its formation. Suddenly, flags were waving, horses neighed like dragons, and Yelu Yingbi said in a deep voice: "Beat the drum! Attack!"

"Dongdongdongdongdong! Wuwuwu~" For a moment, the drums and horns of the Liao army sounded together, and a group of cavalry arrays pressed forward!
