Before his death, the white-clothed staff officer of Jinpeng Fort revealed important information, but he refused to give all the information, and he refused to reveal how many people there were, when they arrived, which route they took, and not a word more.

The accuracy of this piece of information is therefore questioned.

"Just bring him back for interrogation, it's not easy. Fang Wen was a little regretful, faintly blaming the Dragon King for making a move too quickly.

In the palace chamber, Gu Shenwei was discussing this unexpected information with Zhong Heng and Fang Wen.

Back to the scene at that time, Gu Shenwei had no choice, he knew very well that the white-clothed staff officer would not speak again, the other party threw out amazing news, the only purpose was to buy time to wait for rescue, he was afraid of death, but he was even more afraid of the Dubu King, and he would never betray easily.

It can be a long wait before the assassination begins, and once it is done, it must be cut through the mess quickly, and dragging the mud and water for any reason can lead to fatal consequences.

Gu Shenwei killed the white-clothed staff officer with the lotus girl, leaving several Jinpeng killers who had lost their minds in the main tent and quickly evacuated.

Yang Dou was deeply impressed by the neat and tidy methods of these two killers, and finally guessed their true identities, "Dragon King, wait for my good news, tomorrow morning, the five thousand coalition forces will turn enemies into friends, please remember what I did today, this is risking your life." ”

It is not reliable to pin hope on one person, especially when this person's position is questionable, while Gu Shenwei infiltrated the military camp to assassinate the commander, Zhong Heng had already selected five hundred soldiers, equipped with all the horses in the city, and hid behind the city gate to stand by at any time.

Before the results of the white-clothed staff officer's words could be discussed, Gu Shenwei left the council hall and joined the five hundred soldiers.

The dragon king wanted to charge into battle with him, which surprised and excited the soldiers, and the sound of earnest whispers was like a warm breeze of early spring, blowing everyone's confidence.

Indeed, the dragon lord is not as tall and mighty as they imagined, and he does not seem to have magical spells, but he is brave and calm and approachable beyond imagination.

Gu Shenwei slowly squeezed from the back of the line to the front, nodding at everyone, and whispering "Follow me" every few soldiers who walked by.

Although many of the soldiers were middle-aged, Gu Shenwei still felt childlike enthusiasm from them.

Yang Dou promised to persuade the generals to surrender before dawn, and when the fourth watch was about to end, there was still more than half an hour before the agreed time, and five hundred soldiers quietly walked out of the city gate on horseback under the leadership of the dragon king, and launched a surprise attack on the coalition army.

Gu Shenwei didn't want to wait passively.

Approaching the enemy camp, Gu Shenwei blew the horn and gave the order to charge, and 500 people shouted in unison, causing confusion among the enemy troops.

In fact, the coalition barracks have long been in chaos.

The body of the white-clothed staff officer was soon discovered, and the generals of the four countries looked pale at the loss of the second commander of their side, and what made them even more panicked was that the five Jinpeng killers were not dead, nor could they be considered alive, like walking corpses, standing in the main tent, ignoring all people and things.

There were still dozens of people stationed in the Jinpeng Castle, but none of them were particularly prominent, and they first quarreled with each other, and then with the generals of the four countries, not to compete for the right to command, but that no one was willing to take over this ominous army.

Yang Dou felt that the time had come, and personally visited the main generals of various countries, conveyed the conditions given by the Dragon King, and persuaded them to surrender immediately, "Prince Kang has already nodded, what are you still hesitating about? ”

This change was too sudden, but there were smart people who had already thought of this step, so they vaguely agreed, and the only one who did not nod was precisely Prince Kang.

Prince Kang still has not forgotten the shame of losing the competition for the princess with the Dragon King.

Yang Dou knew that this person was reckless and stubborn, so he was the last to see him, hoping to use the power of the other three kingdoms to subdue the other party.

As soon as Prince Kang saw Yang Dou, he guessed his purpose, laughed, and without waiting for Yang Dou to speak, he scolded him with a slash on his head and face, and then called out the guards and hacked the persuaders to death with a knife.

Yang Dou died, in a place he never thought of, saving the Dragon King a small problem, and there was no need to arrange a position for the exiled prime minister.

Cowards often have stupid courage, and this phrase could not be more appropriate for Prince Kang.

Blood washed his mind, and Prince Kang led his men and horses, gathered all the generals, and declared himself the commander of the coalition army.

The night was destined to be full of ups and downs, from the general to the soldiers, all of whom had not slept all night, and no one knew who would give the order the next moment.

It was at this moment that the dragon king and five hundred cavalry rushed into the barracks, and the trumpets sounded, and the shouts seemed to come from thousands of people.

The Four-Nation Coalition was attacked by surprise at the most fragile, loose, and chaotic moment, and the normal reaction was to flee, fleeing lifelessly, and even Prince Kang, who was still making an impassioned statement just now, grabbed a horse, turned over, and galloped outside the camp without even bringing his retinue.

At dawn, the battle was over, and most of the 5,000 coalition soldiers had surrendered, a few fled in their own direction, and many did not know until the end that only 500 people had attacked the barracks.

Zhong Heng led more soldiers to arrive and take over the barracks.

Speed is more important than anything else, Gu Shenwei doesn't think this is victory, the four countries are still on the side of Jinpeng Castle, this is the best time to change their position, and when the legendary Jinpeng Castle army enters the Easy Sea, things will be very tricky.

In the chaotic coalition barracks, Gu Shenwei issued several orders one after another.

Lin Xiaoshan immediately set off with 500 cavalry, marched westward, captured the capital before the Kang, Sha, and Hui kingdoms could react, and then "invited" the kings of various countries to meet with the dragon king.

This is a bold plan, but as long as it is fast enough, it can achieve miraculous results, the main armies of all countries have joined the coalition forces, and the national guards are empty, if Lin Xiaoshan follows closely behind the escapees, not only can he easily break into the capital, but he can also use the panic they create to achieve an overwhelming advantage.

The second order was sent to Zhong Heng, the siege of the city had been lifted, and the prime minister was to immediately start collecting the ships on the north shore of the Xiaoyao Sea and ferrying the army on the south bank.

This task also requires speed, the situation in the sea will change dramatically at any time, and the strange soldiers can achieve miraculous results, if you want to keep the land and people in your hands, you still have to rely on strong strength.

Zhong Heng had already formulated a plan in his heart, and before he was ordered to leave, he said the question he had been thinking about, "It is impossible for Jinpeng Castle to know the news that the Dragon King is still alive so quickly, so that army is not coming for the Great Snow Mountain. Shangguan Fa probably didn't expect Dugu Xian to surrender, so it didn't come to strengthen the coalition army. ”

Although Zhong Heng did not come to a conclusion, his words were in the heart of the Dragon King, and Gu Shenwei did not personally lead troops to conquer the three countries west of Shiguo, precisely because of this matter.

Back in the city, Fang Wen was anxiously waiting, he analyzed the upcoming Jinpeng Fort army from another angle, "There is fraud in this matter, there is a big fraud, it is impossible for the Dubu King to be unpredictable, the alliance of the four countries obviously has an advantage, if it is not for the Dragon King to arrive in time, Shi Guo will not last long, he just sent a large army at this time, and he is also hiding and tucking, there is definitely fraud." ”

Fang Wen was a little wordy, and it took some time to say the core question, "Dubu King is going to annex Xiaoyaohai." ”

He was extremely confident in his speculation, and paced back and forth excitedly, arguing for the point, "The kings of the four kingdoms have all voluntarily abdicated, but the king of Dubu has all refused, why? ”

"Jinpeng Fort is backed by the north court, and the east and west are all relying on other people's cavalry, and the Dubu King does not want to be a puppet, so he must create his own country, although the sea is not big, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can be used as a solid rear ......"

Gu Shenwei already understood the meaning of the military advisor, and he agreed very much, the key issue now is the details of this army, Jinpeng Fort is not a savage in the forest, not an isolated country of incense, not a Wushan tribe that has been fighting for years, nor a half-hearted small country in the sea, they know the root of the dragon king, they will not believe those exaggerated legends, and they will not be intimidated by a few people.

This will be the first hard battle after the army of the Great Snow Mountain returns to the Western Regions, a battle of life and death, victory, from now on to be able to gain a firm foothold in the Xiaoyao Sea, with the foundation of competing for hegemony with Jinpeng Castle, defeat, the best outcome can only be to return to the country of incense, and then want to rush out of Wushan, it is difficult to climb to the sky.

Therefore, Gu Shenwei's last order was given to himself, he wanted to personally go to find out the enemy's situation and find out the opponent's strength.

Before leaving, Gu Shenwei took the time to meet Dugu Xian once, hoping to get some guidance from him, after all, he was the general of Jinpeng Castle and was more familiar with the situation.

In addition to the Wushan Road, there are two roads in and out of Xiaoyaohai, one east and one west, both of which have to cross the desert, and the road to the east is easier to walk, Gu Shenwei guessed that the army of Jinpeng Fort would attack from here, but he was not very sure.

Dugu Xian was willing to help, but he was unwilling to make unfounded guesses, "If it was a normal commander and received a normal order, he would definitely enter the Xiaoyao Sea from the east, the reason is very simple - the water source, the water and grass in the east are abundant, enough to supply tens of thousands of troops, and the path through the desert is also short." The water source of the western passage is scarce, and it can only meet the needs of a few hundred people, and more than 3,000 people have to carry a large amount of clean water by themselves, which is too expensive. ”

Gu Shenwei knew it in his heart.

Having just betrayed Jinpeng Castle, Dugu Xian was more anxious than the Dragon King to thwart the army sent by the Dubu King, and when he learned that the Dragon King was going to investigate the enemy's situation, he reminded: "It is best to find out who their main generals are and which country the soldiers come from, with this information, I may be able to help a little more." ”

Gu Shenwei nodded in agreement.

He led the lotus girl and a few people to set out, and it took less than ten days to cross the desert and come to the village of Shuangquan in the north.

Along the way, they saw no sign of the coming army, and Shuangquan Village was still the same as before, receiving passing business travelers for a living.

But in the only tavern in the village, the news of a large army about to be stationed here has spread widely, ranging from 10,000 to 200,000 people, and finally an old man broke the sky, "This is also a guess, the camp is being built at the east end of the village, and each stake in it represents a tent, multiplied by five times, which is about the size of the army." Thirty thousand, I don't believe we can bet that it will not exceed thirty-five thousand. ”

The 30,000 Jinpeng Fort army, against the more than 10,000 Daxue Mountain troops that were scraped together, Gu Shenwei didn't even have a chance of winning in his heart.
