Jidong Road, Danhe County, Liao Ancient City
Danhe County is located between Jidong Road and Liaodong Road, and Liao Ancient City is a fortified city located at the border of the two roads.
It seems that Liaodong Road and Jidong Road are right next to each other, but in fact there are many mountains between the two jurisdictions, a distance of nearly 200 miles, and the road is rugged.
This is the reason why the Jin people took Liaodong but did not go straight to the Central Plains from Liaodong to threaten the capital.
Because the nearly two hundred miles of road is really difficult to walk, not to mention that most of the Jin people are cavalry. The speed of the cavalry on the road in the deep mountains will be delayed to the maximum extent, and it will not have the effect of surprise.
In addition, transporting grain and grass supplies was difficult and strenuous, so the Jin talents stopped at Liaodong Road.
But the fact that the Jin people were not happy to fight did not mean that the Zhou Dynasty could remain undefended.
From the moment the Jin people occupied Liaodong, the Zhou Dynasty built a new city between the two mountains and named it Liao Ancient City.
Perhaps the emperor at that time chose such a name out of nostalgia for Liaodong.
Occupying the key point of two mountains, the ancient city of Liao Dynasty has since become a military town. There are not many civilians in the city, and most of them are garrison troops.

For decades, no matter who sat on the dragon throne, he would ask the Ministry of Revenue to allocate more money to repair and strengthen the ancient city of Liao.
What if the Jin man went crazy one day and decided to attack the ancient city of Liao?
Who would be at odds with his own throne?
In fact, there is more than one road entering Danhe County from Liaodong, but the others are all small roads. Only behind the ancient city of Liao is a broad road, which is easy to transport grain, equipment and other military supplies.
This means that you can pass troops elsewhere, but don't worry about supplies.
Therefore, if you want to invade the Central Plains from Liaodong, this ancient Liao city is a hurdle that you must overcome.
…
The moonlight was extremely dim, and the vast mountains and fields were eerily quiet.
The reflections formed by the intertwining of messy branches and bushes are like ghosts. Even the old hunters in the mountains rarely walk through the mountains in the cold winter.
But at this moment, countless black shadows were rushing through the mountain paths.

"Pfft, pfft~"
The branches that fell to the ground were broken by these black shadows, making a crunching sound.
Through the faint moonlight, it can be seen that these black figures are all wearing light armor, and a Northern Liangdao is firmly tied to their waists to prevent them from interfering with their forward speed.
These people seemed to have very good physical strength and leg strength, and the winding mountain road hardly made them tired at all.
There was a resolute face among the crowd, and he was clearly the leader at first glance, with quick steps and steady breathing.
Luofu, a general of the Liaodong Infantry Army.
Two years ago, the Yan Kingdom's Dongting troops invaded the territory in large numbers and fought fiercely with the Liang army at the foot of Luoyun City.
Since the war had not progressed, Zhou Weiran and Wanyanbi sent a large army to bypass Luoyun City and approach Jinyang Pass, defeating many fortresses and beacons along the way.
Finally, Luofu proposed a plan to Chenyue and used the main force of infantry to attack the Yan army and eliminate it in Liaodong.
In the end, the bones of tens of thousands of Yan troops were buried on the battlefield. It was also from that battle that Chenyue General He Mudawu, the Yan army general, became a hidden stake of the Liang army.

Luofu's armor was still stained with blood.
An hour ago, the two beacon towers placed in the mountains in Liao Ancient City were pulled down by them. Not one of the more than 200 defenders was left alive, and all of them were killed.
"Shashasha~"
A team of thousands of people quickly approached Liao Ancient City. Luo Fu, who was running forward, subconsciously touched the scimitar tied to his waist. He knew that the battle in Liao Ancient City was destined to be difficult and dangerous.
…
Although it was New Year's Eve, the ancient city of Liao was as quiet as ever, and there was no sound of firecrackers at all.
After all, most of the people in the city are soldiers, and few people live here, so the flavor of the New Year doesn't seem that strong.
The only difference from usual is that tonight's dinner has half a catty more meat per person, which is already a great reward from the court.
Although the soldiers in the army complained privately, no one dared to complain at this juncture.
The commander-in-chief of the ancient city of Liao was a ruthless man, strict in running the army, fierce in style, and true to his word.

The general has already said it before. Now is the eve of the war. No one can neglect the enemy. If there is a problem in the city defense, the general of that battalion will have to engage in military law.
Who else dares to neglect their duties?
The night is getting deeper~
The candlelight in the military camp in the city was extinguished one after another, and the soldiers who were not on duty fell asleep one after another. Everything seemed peaceful.
There were numerous torches on top of the city, and the soldiers on duty were patrolling back and forth.
Because there are continuous mountains on both sides of the ancient city of Liao, which are natural barriers, only the north requires heavy garrisoning.
Seven or eight archery towers have recently been built on the northern city wall, and strong bows and crossbows are ready for use.
A centurion who was responsible for guarding the city held a torch and looked outside the city. He felt a cold wind blowing past and blowing into his collar, making him shiver.
The centurion muttered and cursed:
"What the hell kind of weather is this? Damn it, I'm afraid I didn't die on the battlefield, but was frozen to death by the cold wind!"

Complaints are complaints, and the city should be defended.
In an alleyway only two streets away from the city wall, dozens of black shadows were flashing out of private houses, and then their figures were hidden in the night.
The figures are all wearing the military uniforms of the Liao Ancient City garrison, but they all have a piece of red cloth pinned to their collars, which you really can’t tell without looking carefully.
Dozens of people crowded close to the corner of the house, not daring to make a sound.
These houses were formerly garrison barracks and are now uninhabited.
A man in the lead silently tapped the number of people, his eyes were cold, like a hawk in the darkness.
Qiao Nian, a lieutenant in the Liao Ancient City's official army, was not considered a high official in the Liao Ancient City where there were 20,000 troops stationed there.
Like Su Hong, he and the others present were selected by Wentiansi to be the backbone of the Liang army dormant in Jidong Road.
The situation of Jidong Road is a bit special compared to that of Jidong Road. During the Jiangnan Rebellion two years ago, the imperial court did not mobilize the garrison of Jidong Road.
If there is no war, these hidden stakes sent by Wentiansi will not have meritorious service to be promoted.

In the entire ancient city of Liao, this Qiao Nian already had the highest military rank. It was not easy to climb from an ordinary soldier to a captain in four years.
Qiao Nian silently looked at his dozens of colleagues and whispered:
"Brothers, there will be a fierce battle tonight. We can only succeed and cannot fail!"
Everyone nodded heavily, and no one showed any fear.
In addition to the dozens of people led by Qiao Nian, there were several teams of similar size approaching the city wall.
The other part is hiding in the city, waiting for opportunities to set fire and create chaos.
If everyone adds up, it only amounts to five or six hundred.
Some of the five to six hundred people were hidden targets of the Liang army, and some were their trusted subordinates. This group of soldiers already had all the strength that Qiao Nian could mobilize.
"Hoo~"
Qiao Nian took a deep breath, clenched the scimitar in his hand, waved his hand and shouted softly:
