On the morning of the second day, before the sun rose, the eastern sky was a little pale. Liu Yao, wearing black armor and holding a battle spear, personally led 20,000 elite cavalrymen to leave the military camp and head towards the Xianbei camp. At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds and gloomy, as if foreshadowing the coming of a war.

However, strangely, the Xianbei side did not move for a long time. Their tents were closed and their flags were hanging low, as if waiting for something. Liu Yao couldn't help but feel a little doubtful, but he still led the army forward firmly.

Outside the military camp, Liu Yao kept shouting challenges, and his voice resounded through the sky. He waved the spear in his hand, showing fearless courage and determination. However, as time passed, the Xianbei still did not respond.

It was not until half a day later that Liu Yao finally saw the Xianbei soldiers slowly walking out of the military camp. They were arranged in neat rows, with serious and vigilant faces. But Liu Yao keenly noticed that there was no figure of He Lian in the opponent's army.

"Something is wrong!" Tian Feng, a counselor on the side, whispered. He frowned, staring at the Xianbei army, full of doubts.

"He Lian hasn't appeared yet? Did he escape?" Liu Yao frowned, waving his spear, and said, "Impossible! We blocked all the passages outside last night."

"Yes, this is really strange." The general on the side echoed, "He Lian was standing on the front line yesterday to boost morale, why is he nowhere to be seen today?"

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, Xu Huang was fighting fiercely with the enemy. When he saw Liu Yao leading the army to attack, he couldn't help but feel happy. He immediately sent someone to invite Xu Chu to come, and said excitedly: "Hahahaha! Gongming! Is it time for us to attack!?"

Holding the giant axe, Xu Huang nodded firmly and replied: "Yes, the lord has been patient for so long, and now he chooses to take the initiative to attack, so he must have surrounded the Xianbei!"

"Well, I understand." Xu Chu's eyes flashed with excitement, "Then let's lead the troops to attack now! As long as we can directly attack the rear of the Xianbei army, it will definitely cause chaos in its formation!"

After that, the two led their respective troops and quickly walked out of Yanmen Pass. They believed that in this war, victory will belong to them.

At this time, in the Xianbei tent.

He Lian lay on the bed with a pale face, his eyes closed, but his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was in great pain. His lips were bloodless, and his breathing became rapid and weak, as if it could stop at any time.

At this time, a general walked quickly into the tent and looked at He Lian with worry on his face. "Sir, what's the situation outside now?" He Lian opened his eyes with difficulty and asked in a hoarse voice.

The general replied with a heavy face: "Sir, the commander of the Han army, General Liu Yao, is challenging outside. But please rest assured, General Tuoba Feng has led the army to attack."

He Lian smiled bitterly on his pale face and shook his head gently. "It's useless... If I don't show up in person, Liu Yao will think that something happened to me. In this way, he will definitely lead the army to attack. Quick! Help me up! I must show up in person, otherwise our army will fail!" After saying that, He Lian struggled to sit up.

However, his body seemed very weak, and just a simple movement made him pant, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. The general beside him hurried forward to support him, and anxiously persuaded him: "Shanyu, the military doctor once said that this time your old illness has relapsed. You need to calm down and recuperate, and you can't get angry. Once you get angry, the consequences will be disastrous!"

He Lian took a deep breath, endured the discomfort of his body, and insisted: "It's okay, help me up! I must go out! Cough cough cough!" With a violent cough, He Lian's face became paler and almost lost all the blood. But he still firmly asked the general to help him up.

With the help of the general, He Lian climbed up from the bed with difficulty. His legs trembled slightly, as if he could not support his weight at any time. But he gritted his teeth and walked out of the tent step by step.

Just as the attendant on the side was putting armor on him, suddenly there were shouts from the Han army outside. "What's going on!?" At this time, a scout rushed into the camp. "Report! Report to Chanyu! General Tuoba was stabbed to death by Liu Yao with three spears! Now Liu Yao has led the army towards the military camp!"

Hearing this news, Chanyu's face became gloomy, but he remained calm: "No problem! I still have tens of thousands of Xianbei warriors under my command! Just Liu Yao and his soldiers are nothing to be afraid of!"

At this moment, another scout rushed inIn the camp. "Report! Chanyu, something bad has happened! Xu Huang and Xu Chu, the defenders of Yanmen Pass, led the defenders! Attacked our rear!"

The Chanyu frowned at the news, and he realized that the situation might be more serious than he thought. But he still pretended to be calm and said, "Humph! Liu Yao! You are really experienced in tactics! No problem! Order the central army to support the rear!"

With the Chanyu's order, the Xianbei army began to mobilize quickly, trying to deal with the double threats from the front and the rear.

Just as He Lian was about to walk out of the tent, the commander of the central army ran over anxiously. He was panting, his forehead was full of sweat, and he was obviously in a hurry.

"Not good! Chanyu! I don't know when the Han people hid in the mountains and forests and attacked my central army!" There was a trace of panic in the general's voice, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

He Lian's heart sank. He didn't expect the Han people to launch an attack so soon, and it was behind them.

"I didn't notice it for a moment! The central army camp is in chaos!" The general continued, his tone full of self-blame and helplessness.

The generals' faces changed drastically when they heard this. They originally thought that this war was just a small-scale conflict, but now it seems that the situation is much more serious than they imagined.

He Lian's body trembled slightly, and he supported the bed with his hands, trying to keep himself calm.

"Liu Yao wants to eat us completely! The Han army has already attacked our army from three sides! What a big appetite!" He Lian muttered to himself, his eyes became cold.

He knew that if they couldn't solve this problem as soon as possible, they might be surrounded and destroyed by the Han army. He Lian took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He began to think about the strategy to deal with it, and ordered the generals around him to act quickly.
