When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Datong, Zhenxi General’s Mansion.

The beacon fire in the north quickly reached the Zhenxi General's Mansion. Bingjia, who was resting, heard someone running outside and learned the news of the beacon fire in the north. He quickly stood up and said, "The beacon fire is sending a message. Did you get a flag or a signal? How many people are recorded?"

"Not yet. The earliest we can get any follow-up news is tonight. But judging from the current number, the location should be the outpost numbered 104."

"104." Bingjia nodded.

The beacon system on the Yan State side can be said to be very advanced.

When transmitting messages, the burning smoke in each direction will be covered and released within a certain period of time, allowing the smoke to fluctuate and emit smoke similar to Morse code. Basically, as long as there is no strong wind, it can be seen clearly.

Therefore, several beacons are usually used at the same time, so the first digit 1 represents the north, the second digit 0 represents the first area in the north, and the third digit 4 represents the fourth beacon group.

Bingjia turned his head and came to the screen, tapping his fingers on the 104 beacon towers: "Guyuanyi..."

"Reply to Hongyan to indicate receipt. Send scouts nearby to investigate the enemy situation and find out their number as soon as possible."

Ice Armor sent back a message, red smoke, indicating receipt.

Then comes the scouting operation.

The beacon system of the Yan State basically only carried out the fast horse movements of scouts for sending messages, and would never easily carry out orders transmitted by beacon smoke.

After all, passwords and the like are easy to leak. If they are used by the enemy in reverse, it will be a disaster.

"The rest of you, gather the garrison troops on duty first, and then send people down to order all the soldiers, civilians and nobles under the jurisdiction of the Zhenxi General's Mansion to be ready. Once the enemy's number exceeds the standard, they will have to follow me to the battlefield."

Wearing ice armor quickly pushed forward the subsequent process.

As the Yan State's hegemonic government system organized by Xin Qu, after several years of operation, the upper and lower processes have become inertia.

When everyone saw the beacon fire, they immediately knew that their chance had come.

There was no need to wait for the messenger. Anyone who was determined to improve their status and seek fame would go back early to prepare.

Especially those naturalized people.

They are not far from obtaining citizenship of the State of Yan. As long as they can obtain citizenship of the State of Yan, their future descendants will have a ladder to success.

And the people who paved the steps could only be them.

Therefore, it is better to take a chance than to be a nomad, trade and gain nothing for the rest of your life.

Just like that it got dark.

A new beacon was hung on the flagpole, and the news was spreading all over the area within a dozen miles.

"The enemy has not left the 104 beacon towers yet." Dai Bingjia stood on the beacon tower in Datong City and looked towards the north.

The green lanterns hung in the north meant that the enemy was still there and they had not moved south.

The red lanterns represent action, and the purple lanterns represent disappearance, or being unable to find their location.

So, seeing the Green Lantern, the Ice Armored Man breathed a sigh of relief.

"Six headlights, roughly estimated, six thousand people."

The officer who was watching the lanterns came to report, "A large herd of cattle is heading south. It seems that just as Bei Bo said, a powerful enemy from the north is heading south."

Speaking of this, everyone around expressed their admiration and respect for Beibo Xinqu.

It is really great to know what is happening in the world without leaving home!
"He is indeed very powerful." Bingjia also sighed. He used to think that it was a waste of time and energy for Xinqu to arrange people to notify them and remind them to pay attention to the possibility that enemies in the north might move south.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.

"This year's weather is colder than in the past, so it's normal for a large herd to move south, but we need to find out where they are from. If they are just ordinary grassland forces, a thousand or so people would be the limit.

Now, there are six thousand.

This is no small amount.

If they are willing, they can go south through Guifang, and few tribes can stop them." Several officers from the nomadic tribes of Xunyu, Xiong, and Weishan expressed doubts, which also made them alert.

“Then increase the number of scouts to the north, and at the same time capture the enemy’s tongue as soon as possible to find out their origins.

In addition, the enemy has 6,000 people, and it is estimated that all of them are counted. In this case, we should try to concentrate more than 2,000 people to deal with the enemy. At the same time, we ordered all the post stations and cities in the north to strengthen their defenses and equip them on the spot.

Also, write a letter to Tianjin to let Beibo know that the General's Mansion is facing threats from the enemy."

"Yes!"

Dai Bingjia gave the order and hundreds of people rushed out at the same time.

Wait till dawn.

Dai Bingjia gathered a vanguard cavalry, totaling more than 150 riders, equipped with saddles, stirrups and horseshoes, and headed north quickly.

The rest tied the chariots and baggage carts to the war horses, and in the afternoon, Wearing Ice Armor, he set off with the remaining 1,500 people.

The last batch will stay in Datong as reinforcements. When necessary, this group of people will form a 3,000-man team on the spot and rush to the north to provide assistance.

It can be said that if the Zhenxi General's Mansion bursts out with all its strength, it can mobilize twelve battalions of young and strong men in a very short period of time. More than half of them have undergone conventional military training, and after being armed with weapons, they can go directly to the battlefield to fight.

The relevant news reached the Guifang, Shefang, Qiongfang and Tufang forces doing business in Datong, and many of them showed expressions of fear.

A powerful mansion with six thousand young and strong men.

However, the State of Yan has eight hegemonic governments. If all their strengths were counted, 50,000 people would definitely not be able to defeat them.

Such a force was standing right next to them, and many people's hearts were pounding.

And at this time in the north.

Alqi was awakened by a burst of noisy shouting. He pushed open the door and walked out of the tent, and saw hundreds of riders chasing on the grassland.

"They are the people of Yan." An elder said when he saw Alqi coming, "Their war horses are very strange. They can sit so straight with the help of the cloth, and they can even shoot arrows from a distance.

Fast and accurate, Wuzhong clan's warriors have lost more than a dozen of their own."

Upon hearing this, Alqi's expression became serious: "So, the rumor down there is that Wuzhong clan was driven away by the State of Yan, is it true?"

"It is basically confirmed to be true. But the Yan State is very strong, and the other party seems to have prepared defenses in advance."

The elder pointed to the south where black smoke was coming out of Kuku and said, “There are several beacon towers with smoke coming out of them. These people from the Wuzhong clan want to seize them, but they have to face their counterattack.

It was not our turn to attack yesterday, but those attacking tribes suffered heavy losses.

and this. "

The elder reached into his pocket and took out a pile of arrows.

Alqi took it and looked at it, his face solemnly said: "What? They are almost exactly the same!"

"Yes, they are almost exactly the same size, and the polishing marks are the same. Polishing stone arrowheads consumes a lot of energy, but the enemy is still so wasteful, using a rain of arrows to attack whenever there is a chance. This is enough to show how powerful the Yan State is."

The elder of the clan was worried, "I'm worried that we might kick into a big bluestone this time. If we're not careful, we'll be doomed."

Alqi held the arrowhead and looked at it again and again until the messenger of Wuzhong clan came over and shouted: "Alqi tribe, you sixteen riders follow me. Let's go south to Yan State! We are here to plunder, not to consume them! After robbing, leave, run fast, and no one will bother you! So don't be afraid of death!"

Alqi could only nod bitterly, then looked at the elders: "Take care of yourselves. If the situation is not good, flee immediately."

The elder nodded: "Yes, you should be careful too."

Alqi left, taking sixteen elite riders with him.

Soon, most of the three thousand people dispersed and began to rush in all directions.

As they said, they came here to plunder, not to fight to the death.

The millennium war between grassland nomads and Central Plains farmers has officially begun. (End of this chapter)
