The full text of Xiangnan cannot be read. Yuan Tian frowned and said, "Our army can only withdraw westward to Xishan County now." "
Han Zhong was stunned for a moment, nodded repeatedly, and responded: "Yes, yes, yes! The terrain of Xishan County is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if the Feng Army pursues it, they will not be able to take advantage."
Xishan County is located in the northwest of Mo Country. It is a very special county in Mo Country. Firstly, it has a special terrain, and secondly, it has a special head. The head of Xishan County is named Shao Yu, and he and Shao Fang belong to the same clan, but their blood relationship is relatively distant. If we really want to trace it back, we have to trace it back to their ancestors.
Shao Yu's Xuanzu and Shaofang's Xuanzu were brothers. According to the order of succession at that time, Shao Yu's Xuanzu should inherit the throne of King Mo. However, Shao Yu's Xuanzu had little interest in the throne and did not think he had the ability to govern the country. After the latter ascended the throne, in order to thank his brother for giving up the throne, he granted Shao Yuxuanzu the title of Marquis of Xishan, in charge of Xishan County, and his titles and official positions could be passed down from generation to generation to protect his descendants. Prosperity and wealth.
Starting from the generation of Shao Yu's Xuanzu, he was the Marquis of Xishan. Later, his great-grandfather, grandfather, and father passed it down from generation to generation. Until he, all five generations were the heads of Xishan County. It can be said that the Shao Yu family's status in Xishan County has long been entrenched and unshakable. Its reputation among the people is so high that it even exceeds that of the monarch of Mo State. The decrees issued by the Shao Yu family in Xishan County are more effective than those of King Mo. . Xishan County has become a country within a country.
When Shao Fang massacred the Shao clan, he also thought of Shao Yu and wanted to kill him several times, but after thinking about it carefully, he had no choice but to give up. On the one hand, Shao Yu's roots in Xishan County were too deep. On the other hand, Shao Yu had too deep roots in Xishan County. The terrain of Xishan County is so special.
Xishan County is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the entire county seems to be trapped in a huge basin. The only way to enter the county is the Xishan Pass, and Fengyang City built in it blocks the Xishan Pass tightly. In addition, Xishan County has more than 200,000 soldiers. The county has fertile land and rich products. The county's grain production is not only self-sufficient, but also delivers millions of stones to the Mo court every year. It can be said that Xishan County needs food, money, and soldiers. The terrain is steep and it has both offensive and defensive capabilities. Even when Shao Fang was acting craziest, he did not dare to attack Shao Yu easily.
Now Yuan Tian proposed to retreat to Xishan County, which made Han Zhong feel enlightened. Yes, retreating to Xishan County can lead the Feng Army away from the hinterland of Mo State. If the Feng Army dares to attack Xishan County, it will be asking for trouble. Seeking death.
He said urgently: "Hurry up and give the order to retreat to Xishan County!"
Yuan Tian shook his head, looked forward, and said, "The front army can no longer withdraw. Now we can only retreat with the middle army and the rear army!"
"What?" Han Zhong was shocked and subconsciously widened his eyes. There were 100,000 soldiers in the front army. If only the central army and the rear army were withdrawn, wouldn't all the 100,000 soldiers in the front army die at the hands of the Feng Army?
Yuan Tian said helplessly: "With the current situation, someone must stay behind and hold back the Feng Army. Otherwise, we will not be able to retreat to Xishan County at all, and we will be chased by the Feng Army and the whole army will be annihilated."
Han Zhong was speechless for a long time. Yuan Tian had no time to wait for him to make a decision and said: "Master Han, now is not the time to be indecisive." As he spoke, he shouted to the generals around him: "Send the order to the Chinese army. , the rear army, retreat to the west, and send orders to the front army to fight to the death with the Feng army. Our reinforcements will arrive immediately. "
"Yes! General!" The generals looked embarrassed, but they all agreed and ordered to leave.
Yuan Tian used the method of abandoning soldiers to save chariots, sacrificing the front army, and took advantage of the chaos to withdraw the 150,000-strong middle army and rear army.
Tang Yin, who was sitting on the periphery of the battlefield, could clearly see Mo Jun's actions. He immediately understood Mo Jun's intentions, and immediately asked someone to pass the order to the Huwei Army to annihilate the remaining Mo Jun. Then, without chasing the enemy, he went directly south to Jueqing Mountain to solve the problem. He was surrounded by the Pingyuan Army, and he himself led his direct troops to chase and kill the retreating troops of Yuan Tian and Han Zhong.
Yuan Tian and Han Zhong led the 150,000-strong Mo army. During the retreat, they found a large number of wind troops chasing behind them. The two men quickly sent an order. The entire army threw away their baggage and only carried rations. They marched lightly and headed towards Xishan County at full speed. retreat.
The retreat of the Mo army was miserable enough. All kinds of military supplies and armaments were thrown away and thrown away. In order to reduce the burden, many soldiers even threw away their armor and weapons. The 150,000 soldiers had no fighting spirit. Like a pile of scattered sand, they fled westward crazily.
The Feng army ignored the large amount of supplies thrown away by the Mo army. Tang Yin had already made up his mind to wipe out the main force of the Mo army. The chase between the two sides lasted from morning to noon. Instead of being farther apart, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. In the end, Yuan Tian had no choice but to detach 20,000 Mo troops again to stop the Feng army and create time for the main force to escape.
Facing the wolf-like and tiger-like direct army, how could the Mo army, which had only 20,000 soldiers with no fighting spirit and whose morale dropped to the bottom, be able to withstand it?
The battle between the two sides turned into a one-sided massacre from the beginning. The direct army was like a whirlwind. It dispersed the 20,000 Mozambican troops in just one move. After less than an hour of fighting, the 20,000 Mozambican troops were almost completely destroyed. No one escaped and was either killed in battle or captured by the direct troops.
Tang Yin had no time or energy to take custody of these Mo army prisoners, so he made a prompt decision and ordered them all to be executed.
His words turned tens of thousands of prisoners of the Mo army into enemies of the Feng army, and the severed heads piled up like a mountain.
However, the death of these 20,000 Mo Jun was not in vain. At least it greatly slowed down the speed of the Feng Jun's pursuit, and bought a lot of time for Yuan Tian and Han Zhong's more than 100,000 people.
The pursuit between the two sides continued. The direct army headed by Tang Yin pursued the enemy for two days and two nights, and finally saw the shadow of the Mo Jun again.
Just when the Feng Jun was excited and thought that they could wipe out the main force of the enemy in one go, the Mo Jun fled into a long and narrow valley.
In fact, this valley is not narrow. Even if five or six carriages run side by side, it is no problem. It is just too deep and the peaks on both sides are too high, making the valley look narrow.
After chasing the enemy here, Tang Yin urgently ordered the whole army to stop advancing and rest on the spot. He brought many Feng generals to the front of the valley and looked around.
The valley is winding and bottomless. The peaks on both sides are towering into the clouds and the cliffs are as smooth as mirrors. If there are ambushes on the peaks on both sides, the consequences of rashly entering will be disastrous.
After reading it, Tang Yin took a breath and turned his head to shout: "Where are Le Tian and Ai Jia?"
"I'm here!" Le Tian and Ai Jia both urged their horses and came behind Tang Yin, intervening and saluting.
Tang Yin pointed to the valley in front and asked: "Where is this place? Why is it so steep?"
"Reporting to the king, this place is called Xishankou, and it is also the only way to enter Xishan County of Mo Kingdom. After crossing the valley, it should be Fengyang City in Xishan County." Ai Jia had done a lot of preparation. When Tang Yin asked, she blurted out without thinking.
"So we chased the enemy to Xishan County." Tang Yin didn't know much about Xishan County, but he noticed this place when he was looking at the map of Mo Kingdom. Xishan County is located in the west of Mo Kingdom. Although it borders Yu Kingdom, the whole county is surrounded by mountains and cannot directly lead to Yu Kingdom. In addition, this county is remote and has no strategic value, so it is not among Tang Yin's primary targets.
"It seems that the remnants of the Mo army had planned to flee to Xishan County for refuge." Le Tian said seriously: "The Mo army tried to use the dangerous terrain of Xishan County to stop our army from chasing and killing them."
"Humph! Even if the Mo army escapes to the ends of the earth this time, I will catch them!" Tang Yin sneered and said: "Send people with strong body to climb to the top of the mountain to see if there are any ambushes. After finding out, report to me immediately."
"Yes! King!" Le Tian and Ai Jia responded, and then sent out the elite spies of Sky Eye and Ground Net to climb the mountain to investigate.
It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do. The peaks on both sides of Xishankou are high and steep, and it's extremely difficult to climb. Le Tian and Ai Jia each sent more than 30 spies, and they didn't return to the Feng Army camp until it was dark. Moreover, none of them escaped unscathed. Sky Eye lost 12 people and Ground Net lost 15 people. These sacrificed spies did not die at the hands of Mo Jun, but fell to death while climbing the mountain. Fortunately, they brought back accurate intelligence, and no ambush troops of the Mo Kingdom were found on the peaks on both sides of the valley.
After hearing the details, Tang Yin nodded repeatedly. It was understandable that even the elite spies of the Sky Eye and the Ground Network fell to death during the climb. It was easy to imagine how difficult it was for ordinary people to climb to the top of the mountain. Such a steep mountain was not suitable for large-scale ambush.
He ordered the entire army to rest outside the valley for one night, and wait until dawn the next day to enter the valley and fight the enemy to the death.
That night, the direct army did not dare to enter the valley in the dark. First, they were not familiar with the terrain and were afraid of being ambushed by the enemy. Second, the whole army was exhausted from chasing the enemy for several days, and they also needed time to rest and reorganize.
The direct army did not attack rashly. Instead, the Mo army took advantage of the night to leave the valley and sneak attack the Feng army camp.
The direct army did not expect the Mo army to sneak into the camp this time. These days, the direct army has been chasing the Mo army, and never expected that the Mo army would dare to take the initiative to attack.
The direct army was not well prepared and was caught off guard by the sneak attack of the Mo army. Fortunately, the scale of the sneak attack by the Mo army was not large and did not cause too much damage to the Feng army, but after a chaotic battle, the direct army still suffered more than 2,000 casualties.
Upon learning of this, Tang Yin was furious. As soon as dawn broke the next day, Tang Yin ordered the entire army to attack, break through the West Mountain Pass, and directly take Fengyang City.
The direct army, who thought they were slapped in the face by the Mo army, rushed into the West Mountain Pass with a thunderous force.
The Mo army set up more than ten simple villages and checkpoints in the West Mountain Pass. It seemed that they were afraid of the fierceness of the Feng army. More than ten villages and checkpoints were empty. The direct army took all the villages and checkpoints in the West Mountain Pass without bloodshed.
Moving forward, it is the last checkpoint of the West Mountain Pass, which is also the top priority of the West Mountain Pass defense line, Fengyang City.
