"Do not go south." Yuan Tian frowned and said, "our army can only retreat westward to Xishan county."
Han Zhong was stunned for a moment, nodded repeatedly, and said, "yes, yes, yes! The terrain of Xishan county is very dangerous. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if the wind force pursues the past, it will not take advantage of it. "
Xishan county is located in the northwest of Mo state. It is a very special County in Mo state. One is the special terrain, the other is the special county head. The head of Xishan county is called Shao Yu, and Shao Fang belong to the same clan. However, their blood relationship is far away. If we really want to trace back to their xuanzu generation.
Shao Yu's xuanzu and Shaofang's xuanzu were brothers. At that time, according to the order of succession, Shao Yu's xuanzu should inherit the throne of Mo state. However, Shao Yu's xuanzu lacked interest in the throne and did not think he had the ability to govern the country well. After the latter ascended the throne, Shao Yuxuan Zu was granted the title of Lord of Xishan and in charge of Xishan County, and its title, official position can be inherited from generation to generation, to protect his descendants, glory and wealth.
From Shao Yu's xuanzu generation, he was Xishan Hou. Later, his great grandfather, grandfather and father passed on from generation to generation, until he was the head of Xishan County in five generations. It can be said that the status of Shaoyu family in Xishan county has been deeply rooted and unshakable, and its reputation among the common people is even higher than that of the monarch of Mo state. The decrees issued by Shaoyu family in Xishan county are more effective than those issued by King mo. Xishan county has become a country in China.
When Shao Fang slaughtered the Shao family, he also thought of Shao Yu and tried to kill him several times. However, after careful consideration, they all had no choice but to give up. Shao Yu's deep foundation in Xishan county is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the terrain of Xishan county is too special.
Xishan county is surrounded by mountains on all sides. The whole county seems to be trapped in a huge basin. The only way to enter the county is xishankou. The city of Fengyang built in it blocks the xishankou tightly. In addition, Xishan county has more than 200000 soldiers. The county has fertile land and rich resources. The whole county can not only be self-sufficient in grain production, but also hand over millions of stones to the court of the state of Mo every year. Xishan County wanted food and money, had soldiers and soldiers, had steep terrain, had both attack and defense. When Shao Fang's behavior was most crazy, it didn't dare to attack Shao Yu easily.
Now yuan Tian proposes to retreat to Xishan County, which makes Han Zhong feel quite at ease. Yes, withdrawing to Xishan county can lead the wind army out of the hinterland of mo. if the wind army dares to attack Xishan County, it will be looking for a bitter meal and a way to die.
He said in a quick voice: "order quickly, the whole army to retreat to Xishan County!"
Yuan Tian shook his head, looked forward and said, "the front army can't withdraw. Now we can only take the central army and the rear army to retreat!"
"What?" Han Zhong was surprised and subconsciously widened his eyes. There were 100000 soldiers in the front army. If only the central army and the rear army were withdrawn, would not all the 100000 soldiers and soldiers of the former army die at the hands of the Feng army?
Yuan Tian said helplessly: "in the present form, someone must stay and stop the Fengjun, otherwise we can't withdraw to Xishan county at all, and we will be chased and killed by the Fengjun and the whole army will be destroyed."
Han Zhong couldn't speak for a long time. Yuan Tian didn't have time to wait for him to make a decision. He said, "Mr. Han, this is not the time to be indecisive." With these words, he cheered to all the generals around him: "order the central army and the rear army to retreat westward. In addition, he orders the front army to fight to the end with the wind force. Our reinforcements will arrive immediately."
"Yes! General The generals were embarrassed, but they agreed one after another and ordered them to leave.
Yuan Tian used the method of abandoning soldiers to protect vehicles, sacrificing the front army, and withdrawing 150000 middle and rear troops.
Tang Yin, who was sitting on the periphery of the battlefield, could see clearly the move of the Mo army. He immediately understood the intention of the Mo army, and immediately sent an order to the Huwei army to annihilate the rest of the Mo army. Then, without chasing the enemy, he went south to Jueqing mountain to break the siege of the plain army, while he led the army directly under him to pursue and kill the retreated troops of Yuantian and Hanzhong.
Yuan Tian and Han Zhong led the 150000 Mo army in the process of retreat. They found that a large number of wind troops were chasing after them. They quickly gave orders. The whole army threw away the supplies, took only rations and marched lightly, and retreated to Xishan county at full speed.
The retreat of the Mo army was also tragic. All kinds of military resources and armaments were thrown away. In order to lighten the burden, many soldiers even threw away their armor and weapons. 150000 people, without any fighting spirit, fled to the West like scattered sand.
Tang Yin had already made up his mind to annihilate the main force of the Mo army. The pursuit between the two sides lasted from morning to noon. The distance between the two sides was not far away, but getting closer and closer.
Finally, Yuan Tian had no choice but to divide another 20000 Mo troops to block the wind force and create time for the main force to escape.
How can the morale of the army be defeated?
From the very beginning, the fighting between the two sides turned into a unilateral massacre. The troops directly under the command seemed to be swept away by the winds and clouds. As soon as they passed by, they scattered the 20000 Mo troops. Within an hour of the fighting, almost none of them escaped. Either they died or were captured by the army directly under them.
Tang Yin had no time and energy to detain these Mo Army prisoners. He made a decision and ordered all of them to be executed.With his words, tens of thousands of Mo army captives became ghosts under the sword of the wind army, and the severed heads were piled up like mountains.
However, the death of these 20000 Mo troops was not worthless. At least, it greatly slowed down the speed of the wind army's pursuit, and won a lot of time for more than 100000 people of Yuan Tian and Han Zhong.
The pursuit war between the two sides continued. The army directly under the leadership of Tang Yin pursued the enemy for two days and nights, and finally saw the shadow of Mo's army.
At a time when the people of the Feng army were so excited that they thought that they could annihilate the main force of the enemy army at one go, Mo's army fled into a narrow valley.
In fact, the valley is not narrow, even if there are five or six carriages running side by side, but it is too deep and the mountains on both sides are too high, which makes the valley look narrow.
After pursuing the enemy at this point, Tang Yin urgently ordered the whole army to pause and rest. He will come to the valley with many winds and look up.
The valley is zigzag, deep and bottomless. The mountains on both sides are towering into the clouds, and the cliffs are as smooth as mirrors. If there are ambushes on the mountains on both sides and enter rashly, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Tang Yin looked at it, took a cool breath, and said, "where is Lotte and Aijia?"
"The end will be there!" Lotte and Aijia both urge the horse to come to Tang Yin's back, and intervene to salute.
Pointing to the valley in front of him, Tang Yin asked, "what is this place? Why is it so steep? "
"Tell the king that this place is called xishankou, which is also the only way to enter Xishan County of Mo state. Crossing the valley, it should be Fengyang city of Xishan county." Aijia's preparation work is very enough, Tang Yin asked, she did not want to blurt out.
"It turns out that we have chased the enemy to Xishan county." Tang Yin didn't know much about Xishan county. He only noticed this place when he looked at the map of the state of mo. Xishan county is located in the west of Mo state. Although it borders on the jade state, the whole county is surrounded by mountains and can not directly lead to the jade state. In addition, the county is remote and has no strategic value, so it is not in the primary target of Tang Yin's attack.
"It seems that the remnants of the Mo army had long intended to flee to Xishan County for refuge." "Mo Jun tried to use the dangerous terrain of Xishan county to stop our army from pursuing and killing," Lotte said
"Hum! Even if Mo Jun escapes to the ends of the earth this time, I will find them out! " Tang Yin sneered and said, "send a strong man to the top of the mountain to see if there is an ambush. After finding out, report to me immediately."
"Yes! King Lotte and Aijia answered, and then sent the elite spies from Tianyan and geonet to investigate the mountain climbing.
It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do it. The peaks on both sides of xishankou are high and steep, so it's extremely difficult to climb. Lotian and Aijia sent more than 30 spies to return to the Fengjun camp until it was dark. They did not retreat from the whole body. Twelve of them were damaged by the sky eye and 15 by the ground net. These sacrificial spies were not killed by the Mo army, but were climbing I fell and died in the mountains. Fortunately, they had brought back accurate information, and no ambush was found on the mountains on both sides of the valley.
After hearing the details, Tang Yin nodded again and again. It can be understood that nearly half of the elite spies of Tianyan and the earth net fell to death in the process of climbing. The difficulty of ordinary people to climb to the top of the mountain can be imagined. Such steep peaks are not suitable for large-scale ambush.
He ordered that the whole army should rest outside the valley for a night and wait until dawn the next day before entering the valley to fight the enemy to death.
On that night, the army directly under the direct command did not dare to discredit and enter the valley. On the one hand, they were not familiar with the terrain and were afraid of being ambushed by the enemy. On the other hand, after chasing the enemy for several days, the whole army was exhausted and needed time to rest and rectify.
The army directly under the command did not attack rashly, but the Mo army came out of the valley at night and attacked the Fengjun camp.
The Mo army's illegal camp was not expected by the army directly under it. These days, the army under the direct command has been chasing Mo's army all the time, and never expected that the Mo army would dare to take the initiative to attack.
The troops under the direct command were not well prepared and were caught off guard by the Mo army's sneak attack. Fortunately, the scale of the Mo's sneak attack was not large enough to cause too much loss to the wind force. However, after a disorderly battle, more than 2000 people were killed and injured by the direct subordinate army.
Knowing this, Tang Yin was very angry. As soon as dawn broke the next day, Tang Yin ordered the whole army to attack, break through the xishankou and take Fengyang city directly.
The army directly under the direct command, who thought he had been beaten in the face by the Mo army, stormed into the xishankou with the momentum of thunderbolt.
Mo's army has more than ten simple stockaded villages and checkpoints in the western mountain pass. It seems that they are afraid of the ferocity of the wind force. More than ten stockaded villages and checkpoints are empty, and the troops directly under the command have taken all the stockaded villages and checkpoints in xishankou without any effort.
Further forward, is the last checkpoint of xishankou, and also the top priority of xishankou defense line, Fengyang city.
