Chapter 271: Feihu Pass

Jinzhou.

More than a hundred people moved slowly under the escort of ten Xiliang cavalrymen.

The hands and feet of the people were tied with ropes, and they walked barefoot with difficulty.

If a person walked slowly, the whip of the Xiliang cavalry would fall.

With a scream, a blood mark suddenly appeared on the back of the people.

"Woo woo..." Some people cried.

Since the fall of Jincheng, they have become abandoned children without a home.

The Xiliang cavalry galloped and ravaged the land of Jinzhou.

The cavalry of the captured army searched for the people of Jinzhou everywhere and took them to Xiliang.

Anyone who resisted would be ruthlessly killed by them.

For a time, the people of Jinzhou were miserable.

When the people were in despair, they suddenly found that the Xiliang cavalry shouted.

Their faces showed panic.

The people looked forward and saw more than a dozen cavalrymen in silver armor rushing towards them in the yellow smoke not far away.

Seeing this, the Xiliang cavalry drew their sabers and rushed over.

The two sides fought less than a hundred meters away from them.

One of the dancers' silver spear generals seemed very powerful, and he stabbed a Xiliang cavalryman to death with just one encounter.

After a few rounds, half of the Xiliang cavalrymen were killed and fled.

At this time, the silver-armored cavalry came to the people.

After getting off the horse, they cut the ropes on the people.

The general holding the silver spear said: "Feihu Pass is less than 30 miles to the east, you follow me."

After that, the cavalry general took the lead, and the other cavalrymen escorted the people to Feihu Pass.

Less than half an hour later, Yan Pass could be vaguely seen.

At this time, a scout caught up from behind and said to Zhongli: "General, we found that a large number of Xiliang troops were moving towards Feihu Pass."

Zhongli frowned and immediately urged the people to speed up.

Back to Feihu Pass, Zhongli immediately handed the people over to the general responsible for pacifying the people.

During this period, more than 100,000 people poured into Feihu Pass, and they rescued tens of thousands of people from the Xiliang captured army.

There were 200,000 people from Jinzhou gathered here alone.

"The Xiliang army is coming." Chen Hu came down from the city wall at this time.

When they received the order to arrive at Feihu Pass, they sent a large number of scouts to Jinzhou to investigate the situation.

They found that the Xiliang captured army was wreaking havoc in Jinzhou and hunting people everywhere.

These captured soldiers were often in teams of fifteen people.

Each time, they could capture as few as a hundred and as many as five or six hundred people and escort them to Xiliang.

After discovering this feature, he and Zhongli discussed breaking up the cavalry, also with fifteen people in each group, to compete with the Xiliang captured army for the people.

At first, the Xiliang people did not expect that a large number of Yanzhou cavalry would enter Jinzhou, and many people were snatched back by them.

Later, after realizing this, cavalry teams of hundreds of people began to appear to encircle and suppress the Yanzhou cavalry.

They made changes accordingly and also organized cavalry teams of more than a hundred people to deal with the Xiliang people.

They fought back and forth several times.

However, their goal was not to kill the Xiliang cavalry, but to save the people.

So every time they met, they entangled but did not fight to the death.

Often after cutting the ropes on the people, they circled with the Xiliang cavalry.

When the people ran far enough, they retreated.

In this way, they did not kill many Xiliang cavalry, but they did not suffer much loss, and saved a lot of people.

But in this way, they finally annoyed the Xiliang people.

The scale of the Xiliang cavalry is getting bigger and bigger.

Today, the Xiliang army is approaching Feihu Pass directly.

It seems that they need to be taught a lesson.

"Haha, you are here just in time." Zhongli jumped off his horse and climbed up the city wall.

The general guarding Feihu Pass is Niu Cha.

He was also the earliest guard of King Yan.

Seeing Zhongli coming up, he said: "How many people have you rescued today?"

"About 300." Zhongli was not very satisfied with today's number.

At first, he could rescue thousands of people a day.

But this was also related to the fact that fewer and fewer people came to Feihu Pass.

Because in the process of rescuing people, they had been spreading two routes to escape to Yanzhou.

One was Feihu Pass, and the other was the Jinhe waterway.

Because Feihu Pass was inland, there were many Xiliang cavalry.

He estimated that many people fled to the Jinhe direction.

Moreover, the Xiliang people were also landlubbers, and they had no navy, which was safer than going to Feihu Pass.

"It's true that the old generals are out, one is worth two." Niu Cha said.

Zhongli was originally a general under Yuan Li.

So after he defected to King Yan, the direct generals of the royal family's personal army still had some alienation with him.

He was the same.

However, during this period, Zhongli often led the way, which made him really admire him.

Gradually, he reached a consensus with Zhongli and his cavalry.

"It's so-so." Zhongli chuckled twice.

He liked the atmosphere in the royal family's personal army.

But he was also aware of the prejudice of the royal family's personal army against him.

But he has a big heart and treats people sincerely, so he has good popularity now.

Especially Chen Hu, because they are both cavalry generals, they have a mutual understanding.

He pointed his mouth outside the city and said to Niu Cha: "When I was at Yanguan, I didn't have the opportunity to see the power of the artillery. Now I can't miss it. Let's show these Xiliang people a little color."

Niu Cha licked his lips and smiled insidiously.

After Jinzhou fell, the atmosphere at Feihuguan became tense.

Because in the history of the Central Plains dynasty, there has always been a saying that if you get Jin, you can take Yan.

So, after conquering Jinzhou, the next step will certainly be to attack Yanzhou.

After all, Feihu Pass can be attacked or defended. If Dasong wants to recapture Jinzhou, it is most appropriate to send troops from Feihu Pass.

Moreover, the Jin River is very wide and the water is turbulent.

It is very unfriendly to nomadic tribes in the northwest such as Xiliang.

Attacking Yanzhou is more practical than crossing the Jin River and heading south.

As the two of them talked back and forth.

The black line in the sky became thicker and thicker, but these Xiliang troops stopped five miles away from Feihu Pass.

Then they vaguely saw some Xiliang soldiers moving.

Soon, white tents appeared one by one.

They actually set up camp under Feihu Pass.

Zhongli and Niu Cha looked at each other.

They understood that this Xiliang army wanted to block the road in and out of Feihu Pass.

In this way, the cavalry of Yanzhou could not go out, and the people in Jinzhou could not come in.

At the same time, they could also prepare for the attack on Feihu Pass.

"What should we do now?" Niu Cha scratched his head.

Zhongli narrowed his eyes and said, "They can block Feihu Pass, but they can't block Jinhe."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's report back to His Highness first. There are also 200,000 Jinzhou people. We can't stay in Feihu Pass forever."

Niu Cha nodded.

His mission is to guard Feihu Pass. He will stay in the pass.

Naturally, he didn't dare to take the risk of going out to fight with the Xiliang army.

After all, if they win, it's fine. If they lose, I'm afraid Feihu Pass will be difficult to defend.

The two agreed and discussed it with Chen Hu.

Chen Hu had no objection.

Immediately, they sent a team of cavalry to Yancheng.
