In the afternoon outside Leshou City, the sun in the sky is no longer scorching, and the gusts of autumn wind are cool for a good autumn.

Dou Jiande was dressed in light armor, stepped on a black horse, and had a Hebei gun in his hand. The man sat on a horse like an iron tower, his figure was majestic, and his eyes revealed a decisive meaning. In front of his horse, Gao Yaxian, Fan Yuan, Dong Kangmai, Liu Ya, and his brothers-in-law Cao Bao, Cao Zhan, Liu Bin, Ling Jing, Shao De, Cheng Mingzhen, and Hu Daen's civil and military generals were all listed in front.

Dou Hongxian also wore a whole body, and a fiery red robe stood behind Dou Jiande's horse. Behind him are Dou Jiande's thirteen adopted sons, known as the Thirteen Taibao of Hebei. There are many Hu Feng in the Hebei Righteous Army, and adopted sons are popular among the Righteous Army. Not only does Dou Jiande, as the leader of the First Army, have adopted sons, even his subordinates, but those generals also have adopted sons. Su Dingfang, who was left in Beijing by Chen Pojun, is the adopted son of Gao Yaxian, the general of Dou Jiande.

Up and down, even ordinary small leaders who lead dozens of people and hundreds of people in the army also have adopted sons. Even the adopted son of General Fan Yuan, who has more than 100 people, is called the children's camp. Dou Jiande had no biological sons, and selected thirteen outstanding young people in the army as adopted sons, all of whom were known as the Thirteen Taibao. At this time, these thirteen young men were all armed with guns and bows, and stood behind Dou Jiande on horseback.

Fan Yuan looked at the two thousand cavalry hurriedly gathered behind him, and there was a worry on his brows, "General, two thousand men and horses are too few, why don't we lead the army together, even if it is a little later, why care?" ”

"Providence cannot be violated!" Dou Jiande's face swept over his subordinate generals with a majestic face, and said slowly, "This battle is the will of heaven. I will hereby make an oath with all my brothers that if I do not arrive at Xue Shixiong before sunrise tomorrow morning, I will fight him. Then we will obey the mandate of heaven and surrender the whole army to Chen Pojun. If Heaven has mercy. Let me wait to fight Xue Shixiong before sunrise, then we will win this battle. ”

Ling Jing is a strategist. Just after being ordered by Dou Jiande to be with Fan Yuan and Cao Zhan, when Dou Jiande personally led 2,000 cavalry to meet Xue Shixiong, they then gathered and led all the soldiers and horses to follow. He understood in his heart why Dou Jiande was so anxious to leave first with only two thousand cavalry, the time was too tight.

It is because of the witch's divination. Dou Jiande was able to persuade the brothers to go to war with Xue Shixiong. But at this time, it was only about eight hours before sunrise, and the distance was one hundred and seventy miles. It is very difficult to arrive quickly when the army is exhausted. Only with the only 2,000 cavalry found Xue Shixiong to start a battle, and then most of the men and horses followed, it was not against the will of heaven.

Seeing that Dou Jiande insisted on rushing to meet Xue Shixiong with only two thousand cavalry, everyone was silent for a while. Xue Shixiong's prestige in Hebei is too great, which makes them all fearless. 2,000 men attacked Xue Shixiong's 30,000 men. It's pure hitting a stone with an egg.

The autumn wind whipped up the dead grass and fallen leaves in the sky.

Outside Leshou City, thousands of people gathered here, but they were silent in unison.

Two thousand men attacked. This is a battle to the death. Ling Jing suddenly remembered a poem, the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone. Looking at Dou Jiande's determination to die, he couldn't help but feel his blood boiling, and secretly sighed that he finally found a lord with the spirit of a hegemon. But in his heart, even he didn't believe that this battle could be successful.

Dou Jiande turned his head, from left to right, front to back. Slowly looking at the brothers before the battle. These two thousand people were all death squads, and it was obvious that everyone was nervous. But no one was afraid to quit.

Standing in the autumn wind, Dou Jiande said in a deep voice. "Brothers, I know that I will die for a lifetime, but none of the brothers have abandoned me Dou Jiande, here, please accept my worship first." Dou Jiande bent down on his horse and saluted the two thousand men and horses.

"I know what is in the hearts of the brethren, and I know the fear in the hearts of the brethren. But I want to say that although I, Dou Jiande, am not the top of the alliance, I am not a fool, if it is really a mortal situation, I will never gamble with the lives of so many brothers. Today, I led the brothers to face Xue Shixiong, not only because this is the will of heaven after divination, but also because I have the certainty of defeating Xue Shixiong sixty percent in my heart. ”

"Sixty percent sure?"

The two thousand soldiers who decided to die, their eyes lit up, and their hearts were amazed. seemed to be a little incredulous, but remembered that General Dou had never deceived them in the past, and he was shocked and uneasy for a while.

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Dou Jiande smiled at the corners of his mouth, and continued to say loudly, "I want Xue Shixiong to be born in a family of military generals, and he has been in Hebei for a long time, and his prestige has spread all over the world. And although we have been in trouble for several years, in Xue Shixiong's eyes, we are just a group of rabble, a group of rural farmers with mud on their feet. Xue Shixiong faced the people of the grassland outside the Saiwai and Chen Pojun in Liaodong, but he never put it in his eyes, how could he put us in his eyes? ”…,

"Back then, Lu Mingyue's momentum was unrivaled, but Xue Shixiong's might made Lu Mingyue dare not set foot in Zhuojun again after he was defeated and retreated from Zhuo County. The 400,000 soldiers and horses of the Supreme King are not in Xue Shixiong's eyes, and we were all unknown people a few months ago, how can we let him take a serious look? ”

Dou Jiande slammed his fist on the armor on his chest and roared loudly, "That's right, Xue Shixiong looks down on us, and he won't take us seriously as his opponents." He will despise us and despise us! However, this time we have to let him know that even if we don't have strong armor, we don't have sharp weapons, we don't have perfect training. However, we have a fanatical heart, and we have the belief that Hebei people never give up. Xue Shixiong is already old, he has surrendered to a young man who is less than thirty years old, and the courage and enthusiasm in his heart have long since subsided. He is no longer a Hebei warrior, he is just a coward who has been defeated. He has nothing to fear, this time, we, the real Hebei people, are going to knock him to the ground, so that everyone in the world knows what the real Hebei hero is! ”

Dou Jiande's words aroused the blood of the two thousand soldiers below, and the blood in everyone's hearts stirred. Everyone waved their powerful fists and slammed them on the fine armor that had been peeled off from the corpse of Guo Xun's cavalry. At this moment, their hearts are full of courage and enthusiasm!

Pulling out the Xueliang long knife on his waist, Dou Jiande waved the knife and pointed eastward, "Let's go!" ”

The two thousand cavalry descended the mountain like fierce tigers, galloped their horses, and brought up puffs of smoke, and galloped towards the east. The swift cavalry startled the birds in the mountains and forests not far away. But no one noticed that one of the birds was mixed with a pigeon, fluttering its wings.

Since the afternoon, 2,000 cavalry have been flying wildly and marching eastward. The horses marched at a high speed of thirty miles per hour, and after three hours of continuous marching, when the sky was completely dark, they had to temporarily stop the march, drink and feed the horses on the spot, and recuperate their physical strength.

"Daddy drink water!" Dou Hongxian handed the water bladder to his father.

Dou Jiande took a few sips of water, and his expression was still grim. Before dark, they had already traveled nearly a hundred miles, and according to his prediction, Xue Shixiong's soldiers and horses must have marched thirty or fifty miles during the day. Counting up, they are not far away.

However, from Jingcheng to Leshou, there are several roads in the middle, and this distance is mountainous, but the road behind is difficult to walk. It is estimated that Xue Shixiong will not march at night, and must be camped and rested. It was dark now, and it was not easy to march, but it gave him a chance to find Xue Shixiong's men and horses first, otherwise, even if Fan Yuan arrived with a large army, it would be impossible to find Xue Shixiong's men and horses in the mountains before sunrise.

After the soldiers and horses rested for half an hour, Dou Jiande asked people to leave signs for Fan Yuan along the way, and immediately led the troops to march again. However, it was already dark at this time, and in order to conceal the march, he did not dare to let the soldiers and horses light torches, and he could only feel the moonlight and march in the dark along the way, and the road in the mountains was difficult, and the march was extremely slow. There were even a few times when I went in the wrong direction, and I was delayed for a long time.

When it was dark, Chen Kefu's temporary soldiers and horses stationed in Jingcheng flew into a carrier pigeon from the night. The Secret Service officer in charge of liaison took the letter box from the pigeon's foot, looked at the color symbol on it, and was immediately shocked to find that it was a red flame symbol.

Not daring to stop at all, he immediately rushed to the king's tent with the letter. He is not qualified to open the flying pigeon letter of the flame sign, which is an encrypted military intelligence, which can only be consulted by the commander in the army, and it will be burned immediately after reading.

"Your Highness, the Red Flame Expedited Military Intelligence Report!" After passing through the cordon and after layers of inspections, the liaison officer entered Chen Pojun's royal tent under the personal leadership of Chen Lei.

Chen Kefu raised his head from the pile of documents and took the secret documents from Chen Lei's hand.

When he opened it, Chen Kefu's complexion changed slightly. Since Dou Jiande first defeated Zhang Jincheng and then defeated Guo Xun, the secret service department raised Dou Jiande's level by several grades, and specially sent many secret agents to reconnoiter and monitor. As soon as Dou Jiande's soldiers and horses came out of Leshou, the spies from the secret service department over there had already sent the military intelligence over.

"Dou Jiande led two thousand horsemen to the east in a hurry."

Seeing only this sentence, Chen Kefu's heart was already a little unexpectedly surprised. He originally thought that a hero like Dou Jiande, in the face of the pressure of the army, was likely to be unwilling, unwilling to surrender and lead his troops to flee west. It's just that he never thought that in the current situation, Dou Jiande actually dared to lead his troops to take the initiative to attack.

He laughed slightly, but felt more and more interesting in his heart.

Even he didn't expect it, and it is estimated that Xue Shixiong, who has been blackened all day recently, will definitely not think of it. Dou Jiande is so dangerous, maybe he will really teach Xue Shixiong a cruel lesson this time.

Do you want to inform Xue Shixiong? After all, if there is a mental calculation or not, maybe Xue Shixiong will repeat Guo Xun's mistakes.

After thinking about it slightly, a cold smile rose on the corner of Chen Pojun's mouth, picked up the secret report, approached the butter candle and ignited it instantly.

If you can't use it, it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible!
