Outside the south gate of Wuguan, a team of elite cavalry was rushing towards him. Chen Yue's eyes swept through the surrounding valleys from time to time, and almost all the grass and trees here were vividly remembered.

When he first joined the army, all the new recruits were stationed here. Then, as the war began, Chen Yue made many military achievements, and his official position increased step by step, from a small soldier to a centurion to a commander of the Shanzi camp, he went step by step

Today, Wuguan can be said to be his place where he started.

Now that the war has begun, the mighty city of Wuguan is full of solemn and murderous aura.

Zhuge Hutu, who was accompanying the carriage, also looked at Wuguan curiously. He had never seen the true appearance of this important town in the border area before.

"See the Prince!"

There were a burst of shouts at the city gate. Chu Yucheng and several generals had been waiting here for a long time. It seemed that the Liang army believed that the enemy outside Wuguan was the most difficult to deal with.

Chen Yue never stopped at the gate of the city. He waved his whip on the horse's back and shouted: "Enter the city and see the city's defense!"

"promise!"

Shaoqing, everyone had already climbed to the top of Wuguan, especially the north gate of Wuguan, which was already a scene of a great war.

There were gravel, broken arrows, and blood stained on the bricks and stones inside and outside the city wall. The soldiers were transporting equipment and consolidating the city wall.

Defensive objects such as thunder, turbulent oil, flying forks have long been spread out on the entire defense line. Thousands of elite infantrymen are waiting for battle. Many corpses are lying outside the city wall, and the blood is already dry.

"Why, the Yan army has attacked the city?" Chen Yue asked in surprise when he saw this scene.

Although the Yan army has been invading the border for two months, so far, the entire Liang army has not started the offensive and defense of the city. Most of them are contacts with small groups of cavalrymen, and only a big battle was fought outside Luoyun City.

Chu Yucheng nodded and said, "I attacked for three days and then retreated. It was still seven or eight days ago."

Ye Xiaoxiao said, "I guess their siege equipment has not arrived yet, and it is not enough to attack Wuguan where I am stationed heavily. But I carefully observed that their catapults and cloud cars were imitations.

I built my style and it is a bit stronger than before."

"Hmph." Chen Yue snorted coldly: "This should be a good thing Zhou Weiran did. Previously, I received a secret report from Wentiansi. There seemed to be many blacksmiths everywhere in the Central Plains. It should be Zhou Weiran's fault.

It wasn't a spy who happened to encounter someone kidnapping a blacksmith, we're probably still in the dark."

It turned out that Chen Yue had already knew the Yan people's search for blacksmiths. After this incident, Wentiansi immediately investigated the various governments and found that there were no few missing blacksmiths, so Chen Yue immediately judged that it was Yan Army.

What is done.

The key is that blacksmiths are not important in daily life. The missing few craftsmen will not attract the attention of the government at all. There are too many troubles in the mainland of Central Plains now, rebels, famine, plague, one after another, they

There is no time to deal with such things. At most, I just send a few yamen runners to search in a pretentious manner, and I will not delve into the reason at all.

Especially after Chen Yue saw the Jin people's weapons on the battlefield in Liaodong, he became more convinced of his judgment. The Yan sword, which was almost completely imitated by the Yan sword, would be difficult to build on a large scale with the Yan people's own craftsmen.

Everyone looked at each other. This was not a trivial matter, but it was only then that they realized that it was too late.

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools." Chu Yucheng murmured: "The Yan people are well prepared for this battle."

Chen Yue whispered with his hands behind his back: "When I was in Youzhou, I heard from Xue Tian and the others that Tuoba Hong outside Tianlang Pass did not start siege, probably because the siege equipment had not yet arrived at the front line."

"Drag it, we are not in a hurry anyway, what should come will always come." Chu Yucheng said with his eyes narrowed.

Chen Yue wandered around the city for a while, and finally climbed up to a lookout, looked into the distance and asked, "Are you sure Mu Yunduankang and Baili Shen are in the army?"

When the generals heard these two names, they raised their eyebrows.

"Yes, with the Eagle Emperor Flag, it must be Mu Yun Duankang." Chu Yucheng replied.

Chen Yue nodded slightly, his eyes narrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

...

It was late at night and there were only three people in the Wuguan conference hall that had not yet rested, so they gathered next to the map.

Chen Yue, Chu Yucheng, and Zhuge Hutu with a bald head, didn't know if he was cold in this winter.

Just now, Zhuge Hutu had already told Chu Yucheng the plan of drawing patrol battalions from various cities to take turns to the border to participate in the war, and received strong support from Chu Yucheng. This was undoubtedly a timely rain for the current border battle.

Chen Yue hugged his hands with his chest and looked straight at the map. Fifty or sixty miles outside Wuguan City were filled with military flags, and there was the Yan army's garrison.

"Prince, you shouldn't want to take the initiative to attack and move their military camp?" Chu Yucheng understood Chen Yue's eyes and immediately asked.

"You still understand me the best." Chen Yue smiled lightly, then asked intently: "Have any crossbowmen come out of seclusion recently? How is their military camp defensive position?"

Chu Yucheng spread his hands and shook his head: "Since the Yan army approached the siege, I have not sent the crossbowman out of seclusion again. In this situation, it is a bit dangerous to send the crossbowman out."

Chen Yue said oh, and then began to frown and ponder.

Zhuge stared at the map in a confused manner and murmured: "I am not good at fighting between the two armies, but I know one thing: before the troops move, the military situation should arrive first. If we cannot grasp the movements of the Yan army camp, we cannot attack rashly.

.”

"Hahaha, sir, what's right." Chu Yucheng smiled and gave a thumbs up.

Chen Yue looked at the map for a long time, and finally said with a curl of his mouth: "Then let's go out of the city to explore their bottom."

"Okay, I'll arrange for the crossbowman to come out of seclusion now." Chu Yucheng shouted, turned around and was about to go out.

"etc!"

Chen Yue waved his hand and stopped Chu Yucheng's pace and said in a deep voice: "I'll go in person."

"What, you go in person?"

Chu Yucheng was stunned, and a hint of surprise appeared on Zhuge's confused face.

"It's not a dragon's pond, what's the point of going?" Chen Yue said casually.

"It's not right."

Chu Yucheng's brows frowned deeply: "Now there are Yan troops everywhere outside the pass. You are the commander of the army. Forget it, just fight. Now you still have to go forward. It's too ridiculous. If you don't have to, you can't do it."

"Oh, my good guardian." Chen Yue smiled and said, "It's not more dangerous than entering and leaving the battle formation? The actions of a small group of cyclists are actually secret."

Chu Yucheng and Zhuge were helpless in their faces. When the Liang King arrived at Wuguan, he was about to make trouble.
