The army of King Yu and Guangyuan were both stationed outside Dazhi City. Xuan Shaoning had his subordinates set up and was about to go to the shogunate of King Yu. Halfway through, an ordinary soldier walked past. Xuan Shaoning felt familiar. When he looked at the back carefully, he always felt familiar when he saw that man's back, so he couldn't help but scream. Unexpectedly, the man not only did not stop but walked faster. Now Xuan Shaoning felt something was wrong and immediately chased after him. As soon as he reached out to touch the man's shoulder,

The man dodged and followed with a forceful kick. Xuan Shaoning reacted quickly, and protected his vital points sideways, took a big step to the man's eyes, and punched him very quickly. Although the man had already noticed Xuan Shaoning's attack and wanted to resist, unfortunately, he was not as fast as he could only barely resist the punch with both hands. He only heard a "ah" sound and took a few steps back. This sound was not important, but Xuan Shaoning immediately stopped because it was the woman's voice.

"Feiyan?"

"Yes, you're very serious!" Seeing that his identity was discovered, Ling Feiyan simply raised her head.

"You are dressed as a man. It seems that your father disagreed. He followed you secretly, right?"

"So what? How can I miss such an opportunity to kill the enemy in battle? Alas, no matter how you say, we are also classmates, you won't expose me, right?"

"At that time, I'm afraid I can't protect you!"

"Who wants you to protect me! My martial arts skills are not inferior to you, okay?" Ling Feiyan turned around angrily and left. She left with peace of mind and righteousness. She saw Xuan Shaoning helpless. When she thought she had some serious business, she had to give up.

Before Xuan Shaoning could reach the gate of King Yu's shogunate, he heard the voice of Annan Governor Chen Cale, "My minister Chen Caleb, please see His Highness, King Yu!"

He opened the military tent and looked at the sound. The governor who had been in Annan for ten years had already had silver hair, but his body was strong and his path was steady. "It seems that this governor is also a martial arts practitioner!" Xuan Shaoning said to himself.

At this time, the commanders of the three armies in the shogunate of King Yu had arrived. Yang Zhong, as the son of the veteran general Yang Jie, was in his prime. He looked heroic in his military uniform. After saluting, he introduced to King Yu and Chen Gale: "General, Lord Chen, these are my two deputy generals Gu Junyuan and An Haoran."

Gu Junyuan is a little older, with big eyes and square face, thick eyebrows and beard; while An Haoran is much younger, with delicate facial features and handsome face. If it weren't for the dark skin, he would have been a handsome man. Both of them were dressed in a strong manner and saluted King Yu and Chen Gale one after another.

Chen Gale also introduced: "The person behind me is Miao Wei, the commander of my Annan Guard. For many years, I have made great contributions to preventing me from going to Tang and crossing Mangshan!"

Miao Wei's face was frosty, and frosty flowers appeared on his temples. There was a deep knife mark on his left cheek from his eyebrows to his nose. It made people feel unbearable. At first glance, he knew that he was a veteran who had been on the battlefield for many years. Miao Wei was serious and saluted to the people present and said, "Mr. Chen praised it. The last general was just loyal to his duties. This time he regained Yinzhou, but was driven by the general!"

"Okay! Miao Duwei is worthy of being the example of Annan's defenders!" King Yu dodged halfway and gave up his position and said, "The ones on these two are my Xuanjia Army's confidants, Lu Xiang's Captain Tongxin's Captain Xuan Shaoning's Century; Zhan Ting's Captain Rust Jade; Geng Yan's Commander of Jinjia Guard, and Qin Qi's Chief; these two are Ye Kai and Zhao Kexin, the personal guards sent to me by Master Bai Shi of Qingshan Academy."

Yang Zhong looked at Xuan Shaoning and said, "You are Xuan Shaoning, the first hero who killed the Xiliang guards in one fell swoop and helped me to remove the Boyun Village from Daliang?"

"The last general is Xuan Shaoning! However, General Yang is so serious. It is the credit of Xuanjia Army to remove the Boyun Village, not me alone!"

"Okay! He is responsible but does not take credit. He is worthy of being a general under the command of the general!" Yang Zhong was obviously very satisfied with Xuan Shaoning. He walked to the battle sand table and continued, "General, Lord Chen, the last general thought that this battle should be decided quickly. Our Guangyuan army has a total of 20,000 people, plus the general's Xuanjia army and Lord Chen's Annan defenders, a total of 50,000 people. Now he is stationed outside the city, he will definitely be discovered by the Tang spy. In my opinion, it is best to start tonight."

King Yu did not agree, "General Yang was a little too hasty. Our army had just arrived, and the fatigue of the division was not the most favorable time to start a war. Of course, it is best to catch the Tang Dynasty guards off guard, but we cannot be reckless. Let's listen to Lord Chen's analysis first."

Chen Gale did not refuse and walked to the sand table. The sand table simulated the topographic map of Annan and Yinzhou. There was a raised ridge in the middle, which was Mangshan. To the north of Mangshan is Yinzhou, and to the south is Annan. Yinzhou can be said to be a plain. Yinzhou City is built on the plain, facing Mangshan in the south, and to the north is Xiatang. In order to prevent the enemy from attacking, a military camp was set up between the foot of Mangshan and Yinzhou City.

"The Mangshan Mountain Road is narrow and rugged. The most convenient way to cross the mountain to enter the Yinzhou boundary is here." Chen Gale pointed his hand at a clearly sunken position in the ridge of the Mangshan Mountain. "This place is called "Zhukou", which means that once you occupy this place, you can control the Mangshan, and you can quickly enter the Yinzhou boundary through it. At that time, the advantage of the cavalry will be reflected."

"If you don't pass by this tiger's mouth, then go to Yinzhou..." Yang Zhong asked, pointing to the ridge across the sand table.

"Then you can only bypass half of the Mangshan Mountain, and the distance and time will be several times more!"

"Since this is so important to pinch the tiger's mouth, Tang has already controlled it." Ye Kai interrupted inappropriately. Although everyone thought what he said made sense, Zhao Kexin, who was standing aside, stared at Ye Kai fiercely, and Ye Kai had to shut up obediently.

"This guard Ye is right. Now he is in the hands of Xia Tang. The guard is Ba Xirong, a scattered cavalry general in the Xia Tang army. I once fought with him. This person is meticulous and difficult to deal with."

"According to Lord Chen's wishes, if you can't take this tiger's mouth, there is no way to regain Yinzhou. Since that's the case, then hand over this first battle to my Guangyuan Army!" Yang Zhong looked at King Yu with a fiery look.

But King Yu did not speak, and the one who spoke was Xuan Shaoning. "The battle of pinching the tiger's mouth must not take time. It must be taken in a short time, otherwise it will alarm the Tang army. General Yang, your Guangyuan army is a combination of cavalry and infantry, and can only exert its maximum combat power on the plain. The Han Dao Guard is built for charge, so, pinching the tiger's mouth will be given to us Han Dao Guard."

Yang Zhong thought for a moment, and although he was unhappy, he had to agree: "I have heard that Han Daowei is the best at raids, and they are all very skilled in martial arts. Besides, there are brave and resourceful people like Captain Xuan. It is indeed the most suitable thing to hand over the battle of the tiger's mouth to you."

Xuan Shaoning's volunteering coincided with the arrangements in King Yu's mind. After stabilizing Yang Zhong, he ordered: "I think so too, Lu Xiang, a child letter!"

"exist!"

"I will be the pioneers and take the lead in attacking and pinching the tiger's mouth tomorrow night! Be sure to fight quickly!"

"yes!"

"With the years of confrontation between Annan and Yinzhou, the officials have figured out the allocation of the troops of the Tang Dynasty: the southwest city gate is the gateway facing Mangshan, and the guards are the strongest; and a hundred miles away from the southeast city gate is the Xia Tang Dynasty military camp. It takes only a day and a night to help, so it is the most empty defense." Chen Gale understood the key point of this battle, "so the difficulty of the surprise attack is here."

"If we can't fight quickly in a battle with tiger mouth, it will drag down the army out of the mountain. Once our army gallops through tiger mouth, it will definitely attract the attention of the Tang Dynasty's defenders. If they ask for help from the Wu army, then we will only have one day left!" Geng Yan analyzed the time of this battle clearly and clearly.

"They thought that our army could not capture Yinzhou City in one day, but we wanted to let the Tang army see the Liang army's means of seizing the city!" King Yu showed everyone a clear grasp and the courage to win this battle, which immediately made the generals feel a little uneasy. "The task of capturing the tiger's mouth is handed over to the Han Dao Gu Gu. One thousand of you need to clear the obstacles within one hour. Once you pass the tiger's mouth, the troops will be divided into two groups: General Yang, Gu Duwei, and An Duwei.

, You lead Guangyuan army to go straight to the southwest gate with a loud momentum, be sure to show off your airs to attract the attention of the Tang army; Geng Yan, Zhan Ting and Miao Duwei follow me to attack the southeast gate, riding in the dark night, people are silent, horses are in tiring, and quietly walk to the city gate at the fastest speed; Lord Chen, the remaining army is left to you, on the one hand, to prevent the Tang army from attacking, and on the other hand, as our support." King Yu revealed the combat plan that he had already planned in his mind.

"Yes!" The generals agreed in unison.

"General!" This time, Ye Kai spoke out inappropriately, "We are your personal guards, so... we must also participate in this battle!" Zhao Kexin also looked at King Yu with a serious face, with both expectation and responsibility in his eyes.

King Yu looked at the two of them very seriously, and after thinking for a while, he nodded.

"Thank you for your accomplishment, General!" Ye Kai also took the opportunity to throw his eyebrows at Xuan Shaoning, and Xuan Shaoning smiled with a little admiration.

At this time, the lord of the city guarding the city in Yinzhou City was standing at the top of the Ci'an Temple Tower, the tallest building in the city. The wind blew the ends of his hair, and the braids drooped from the top of his head to his shoulders. His face was thin, his cheekbones were high and straight, his eyebrows were cold and his eyes were cold, and he stood with his hands behind his back, standing still.

The top floor of Ci'an Temple is Fan Yunzhi's favorite position. Standing here, he can not only look at the mountains from afar, but also see Yinzhou City by turning around. This four-dimensional and four-horizontal city has entered its ninth year. There are 20,000 troops stationed in the city. Tang people and Liang people live together, named as the guard general. The Khan gave him full power for military, political and financial resources, and he is like the lord of Yinzhou City.

"General!"

"What's up?"

"The Lord of Yuchi is here!"

"Please come in."

After the guards retreated for a while, Yuchi Zong appeared in the tower, with thick hair tied on the back of his head, looking like a gourd, wearing a blue-gray cloth dress tightly against his body, with a slit collar and a firm chest looming. He looked ordinary, tall and big, and powerful. Such a person walked lightly, which showed his inner strength.

"The Lord of the Shaji tribe came in person. It seems that there is something important?" Fan Xun did not look back and continued to look into the mountains from afar.

"I came to save General Fan's life." Yuchi Zong's voice was low and hoarse.

"Oh? Then Mr. Fan wants to listen carefully." Fan Xu then withdrew his gaze and turned to look up at Yuchi Zong who was one head higher than him.

"The Khan has received the exact news that the Liang Dynasty was determined to recover Yinzhou. At this moment, I am afraid that the Liang Dynasty's army has already gathered in Annan. They want to have a surprise attack. Will General Fan enjoy this news?"

After hearing such a big incident, Fan Yuzi remained calm and his smile remained unchanged. "As one of the six Khan's personalities, you will naturally believe that the news that Master Zhuo has obtained from taking action must be more than this, right?"

"That's right, the Liang Dynasty sent this time was King Yu Xiao Yunqi and leader of Guangyuan Army Yang Zhong. Of course, it is natural that the stubborn old man Chen Gale, the governor of Annan, is indispensable."

“Number of people?”

"No less than 50,000. Yan Tong arranged for spies in Annan City to report, and they would choose to take action in these few days."

"It is said that the six divisions are all-in-one, and seeing is better than seeing at first sight. No wonder King Khan is so respectful. Since they want to attack, I will fulfill them!" A cold smile appeared in Fan Xiang's mouth.

On the night of June 2, 29, Liangli, there was no fire in the military camp outside Dazhi City, and it was silent, not at all like before the war. However, in fact, all the generals and soldiers were ready, waiting quietly for the order.

Cao Tie asked in a low voice while rubbing his hands, "Centurion, it is said that there are only 300 defenders who pinch the tiger's mouth. In terms of our number, it should not be difficult to take it down, right?"

Xuan Shaoning frowned and did not answer. Xie Yu made a silence move and whispered: "What do we need to say about the responsibilities of our Han Dao Guard? Now at this critical moment, don't worry so much. Just remember that you must complete the task!"

The thousand-man Han Dao Guard led by Lu Xiang and Tong Xin was at the outermost periphery of the military camp. Xuan Shaoning looked at the black mountain in the night, thinking that the Tang army knew very well that the night attack could gain the upper hand at the beginning. If the guard general tenaciously resisted and delayed the war and caused greater noise, then Yinzhou City would definitely notice it. The terrain of the pinched tiger's mouth was smooth and flat and wide, and it could allow four teams of troops to pass at the same time. It was only a matter of time for the 40,000 troops to pass. But the key is how to be silent and not give any chance to react in Yinzhou City? If we want to buy time for the subsequent large troops, then their actions must be as fast and as small as possible. Capturing the thief first, and killing Ba Xiong is the first priority...
