With Xuanzang's sacrifice, Li Jun's life was much better, the treasury was sufficient, and the construction of Yushan and Shuzhong Road, which had been stopped for the Battle of Hangaishan, was restarted.

At this time, the clouds of war have slowly shrouded Hangai Mountain, the Beijin army has slowly approached Xifengkou, although Hangai Mountain is a large place, but the defenders are mainly concentrated in Gubeikou and Xifengkou, if these two places are not solved, even if Beijin enters Hangai Mountain, it is difficult to move an inch.

Wei Wuji finally checked the warehouse at Xifengkou and found that all kinds of materials were relatively sufficient, and he was relieved. Before they got up the city wall, Yi Chuan and Xue Ren immediately greeted them, and Wei Wuji asked, "What's the situation now?" ”

Yi Chuan immediately replied: "Dashuai, the scout has just come to report, the Beijin people are already less than fifty miles away from here, and it is estimated that they will be able to arrive tomorrow." ”

"How many people, have you found out?"

"Close to 120,000." Yi Chuan said with a frown.

Wei Wuji sighed: "This battle is not easy to fight, tell the brothers, eat and drink enough tonight, and don't pee your pants to Lao Tzu when you go to the battlefield tomorrow." ”

"No, the last will obey." The generals replied immediately.

There were enough guards left on the city wall, Wei Wuji took Xue Ren and Yi Chuan back to the handsome tent, as soon as he returned to the handsome tent, Wei Wuji sat down tiredly, Xue Ren asked worriedly: "Dashuai, are you okay?" ”

Wei Wuji rubbed his forehead and said, "It doesn't matter, it's old, it's a little painful in this season." ”

"Why don't you ask a military doctor to take a look? Handsome. ”

Wei Wuji said impatiently: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, I'm not optimistic about the Huashan Divine Doctor, and those quacks don't look at it, let's talk about this war." ”

Yi Chuan asked in a low voice: "Dashuai, aren't all the strategies formulated?" This time, we will focus on defense, first defeat the remnants of the Northern Jin, and then turn back and clean up the Northern Liao. ”

Wei Wuji pointed to the direction of Taiping Valley on the map and said: "What this marshal is worried about is here, there are only 5,000 defenders here, although there are 2,000 Mo sword soldiers, but if there is an enemy attacking, it may be difficult to hold it, once the Taiping Valley is lost, then the enemy can go around behind us, and then I am afraid it will be difficult to retreat." ”

"The minister has estimated that if the Beijin people want to take the Taiping Valley, they need at least 50,000 people, and if the Beijin people dare to divide their troops, then the 70,000 Beijin soldiers under the Xifeng Pass, our army is completely sure to eat them." Yi Chuan analyzed.

Wei Wuji nodded and said: "General Yi's meaning is that Ben Shuai understands, it's just a change, so no matter what, we will make money, and the people of Beijin are not stupid, they won't do this kind of loss-making business, unless there is a possibility......"

Saying that, Wei Wuji was in a hurry, and immediately called the herald and said: "Hurry up and send a message to His Majesty Chang'an, just say that the people of Beijin are very likely to have reinforcements, so let Chang'an quickly increase the number of troops......"

At this time, Xue Ren suddenly interrupted Wei Wuji's words and said, "Marshal, by all means, don't say if it's too late to find reinforcements at this time?" Reinforcements are coming, and they are also tired divisions, and the losses on the battlefield will be great, and if the troops are temporarily increased at this time, it will increase Your Majesty's suspicions, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"So what do you say?" Wei Wuji asked with a frown.

Xue Ren gritted his teeth and said: "The last general asks for orders and leads 10,000 cavalry to rush to the aid of Taiping Valley to ensure that Taiping Valley is not lost." ”

"Is 10,000 enough?"

Yi Chuan said on the side: "Marshal, you can only send another 10,000 soldiers, otherwise the West Peak Pass will be hanging." ”

Wei Wuji slapped the table heavily and said, "Okay, it's decided, Xue Ren, go to recruit troops now, and set off tonight." ”

"No, handsome." Xue Ren said with his fists clenched.

After Xue Ren left, Wei Wuji sat on the chair tiredly and continued to order: "General Yi, I have to trouble you to inspect more tonight, especially the powder magazine, and you must not miss a little." ”

"No, the last will obey."

After everyone left, Wei Wuji looked at the full moon in the sky alone and said to himself: "Madam, I hope that you are in the spirit of heaven and can bless your husband, and after this battle, your husband will go back to accompany you." ”

As soon as Wei Wuji's words fell, the scattered moonlight passed through the clouds and shone on Wei Wuji, Wei Wuji lowered his head and touched his tears and said, "Madam, I know that you can't rest assured of me." ”

Early the next morning, there was a horn sound at the mouth of Xifeng, when Wei Wuji came to the city wall, all the generals had already arrived, looking at the dense camp tents in the distance, Wei Wuji pretended to be relaxed and said: "This group of rabbit cubs came very fast, but I don't know if I have breakfast, the herald told the commander of Beijin, just say that Ben Shuai has a leg of mutton here, invite him to eat, ask him if he dares to come?" ”

"No." The herald laughed and left.

In ancient times, the heralds of wars had their own way of heralding, mainly using flag language, which ordinary soldiers could not understand.

Soon the herald mutiny came back with a very unhappy face, and Wei Wuji asked with a smile, "What did the other commander say?" ”

"Marshal Qiqi, the commander of the other party is Wanyan Zongbi, the regent of Beijin, Wanyan Zongbi has invited you to fight."

"Okay, Ben Shuai is not afraid of him, ask him, how many people does he have?"

"Dashuai, Wanyan Zongbi has already said that they will send 10,000 people to fight against our divine horsemen." The herald continued.

Wei Wuji laughed and said: "This group of barbarians, they are really looking for death, hasn't Your Majesty always said that a Tang Dynasty should be a Wuhu, since this is the case, then we will send two thousand steel-armored cavalry to fight, what do you think?" ”

"Marshal, be cautious in the first battle." Yi Chuan cautiously persuaded.

"Okay, listen to you, add a thousand, three thousand."

"No, the last general will arrange it now." Yi Chuan replied immediately.

Soon the gate of the west peak gate was opened, and three thousand steel-armored cavalrymen dressed in armor and rode horses, walking out with neat steps like gods descending from the earth.

There were also 10,000 cavalry swarming out on the opposite side, and the two armies controlled the speed of the horses to move slowly towards each other, this time it was Yi Chuan who personally led the troops to the battle, and Yi Chuan also fought as a steel-armored cavalry for the first time, so he was very nervous in his heart, and his palms were sweaty.

When the two armies were fifty paces apart, they stopped at the same time, Yi Chuan had already seen the ugly faces of the other party, and at this time, the two armies shouted at the same time, and rushed towards each other, at this time there was no way to avoid it, and only by killing each other could there be a way to live.

As the two armies slowly approached, Yi Chuan shouted, "Gunpowder preparation." All the steel-armored cavalry took out a jar at the same time, then lit a fire and threw it over, and this time the formation of the Beijin people was in chaos, and the people turned over on their backs.

Yi Chuan continued to order: "Horse gun projection." ”

One by one, the cavalry spears were thrown into the chaotic Beijin team, and then a scream came, and when the three cavalry spears on the horse were all thrown away, Yi Chuan pulled out his saber and roared: "Charge." ”

Three thousand steel-armored iron streams rushed into the ranks of the Beijin people as if they had entered a no-man's land, and the steel-armored cavalry actually had a very simple tactic, that is, charging and charging.

In an instant, the steel-armored cavalry pierced the team of the Beijin people, and the Beijin cavalry fell to the ground one by one like dumplings.

Yi Chuan counted the results of the battle and found that except for a few people who vomited blood, no one on his side fell off the horse, and the other party lost nearly one-third of its combat strength.

Yi Chuan couldn't help but say arrogantly: "Thief, do you dare to fight?" ”
