After recapturing the Luzhou capital without bloodshed, the morale-boosting army of the Huhu army continued to march southwest.

I don't know if it's because the Hu people are really not good at defending the city, or because of other reasons, many small counties occupied by the Hu people have been abandoned by the Hu people.

Along the way, the Wei army recaptured the county towns occupied by the Hu people one by one like pulling nails, and the banner of Great Wei was raised again at the head of the city.

Because it was so smooth, the whole army was filled with a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

In particular, many lower-level soldiers willingly thought that the Hu people did not dare to abandon the city and flee because they saw the strength of the Wei army.

But this is also normal, in the face of this amazing Hu army, which Hu people dare to stop it, isn't this a mantis arm blocking the car?

Although the upper echelons of the military are not as blindly optimistic as the soldiers at the bottom, they are also mostly quite confident.

From the spies sent out, it was learned that the Hu people were driving a large number of Great Wei people to strengthen the cities of Yannan and Zhenyuan provinces, and they were also making large-scale defense equipment in the city.

All these signs show that the Hu people are really ready to concentrate their forces to defend the two important territories of Yannan and Zhenyuan.

Compared with the limited strength of the Hu people, this is also a normal practice.

In other words, when the army arrives in Yannan and Zhenyuan, it is the real beginning of the war.

Compared with the relaxed self-confidence of the generals, Mr. Xiao, a confidant sent by An Guogong to assist his eldest son Xie Yukun, faintly felt that something was wrong.

Along the way, it was so smooth that it was a little abnormal.

Although it is reasonable for the Hu people to want to concentrate their limited forces and prepare for a decisive battle with the Wei army in the rear, with the ferocity of the Hu people, would they really spit out the territory they swallowed so easily?

This is what unsears Mr. Siu the most.

For this reason, he specially proposed to Xie Yukun to strengthen the defense of the grain road, so as not to be robbed of grain and grass by the Hu people halfway.

Xie Yukun felt that he was right, so he sent additional people to protect the grain road.

A few days later, the army arrived at Wudaoting near Bolai County, and Xie Yukun immediately ordered the whole army to stop and recuperate temporarily, and sent a large number of spies to find out the news.

No wonder Xie Yukun is so careful, because this is a dangerous place that is very suitable for ambushes.

Wudao Pavilion is not really a pavilion, but a long and narrow mountain road.

There is a dilapidated pavilion on the top of the mountain, it is said that hundreds of years ago, there were five Taoist priests with advanced Taoism in this pavilion, so it is called the Five Dao Pavilion.

There is only one road to go on this mountain road, and there are lofty mountains on both sides, once there are ambushes from the mountain, people passing through the mountain road will have nowhere to escape, it is a natural suitable ambush dangerous place.

Historically, there have been two famous ambushes here, and it is an important strategic point in the southwest.

Because they were afraid that the Hu people would ambush here, Xie Yukun and other upper-level generals would be so cautious.

After several hours of waiting, the spies sent out finally returned one after another.

All spies replied with the same result: no enemy was found.

Although the spies sent did not find anything abnormal, Xie Yukun, who had been leading the troops with his father An Guogong for many years, still did not dare to be careless, and divided the main army into three groups and entered the mountain road one by one.

Here, Xie Yukun also played a trick, deliberately organizing the recruits from the southern region into the first batch of advance teams, and letting them enter the mountain road first.

In this way, once the Hu people sneak attack, the first to bear the burden is this group of recruits, so that at least the safety of the follow-up Southwest Army and the two active troops of the Fifth Army Battalion can be guaranteed.

If he could, he even wanted the incapable Minfu to be the first team to enter the mountain road, but unfortunately the Minfu needed to transport grain and grass behind, so he could only compromise and treat the recruits as substitutes for the dead.

Due to the long and difficult trail and the fact that there are so many people, the recruits move slowly, almost like a turtle crawling.

Xie Yukun was very dissatisfied with such a marching speed, but he was helpless except for constant urging.

It took two hours for this group of recruits to walk out of the Wudao Pavilion through the mountain road.

Seeing the first batch of people pass safely, the people behind couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Because the people had to transport grain and grass materials in the back, Xie Yukun could only organize the main force of the Southwest Army and the Fifth Army Battalion into the second batch of teams to enter the mountain road, and Xie Yukun himself led the team.

After entering the mountain road, looking at the dense woods on both sides and the steep and difficult to climb slopes, Xie Yukun couldn't help but stand on end.

Wudao Pavilion is worthy of being a famous soldier's dangerous place, and just being in it makes me feel terrified.

Just when the army led by Xie Yukun was halfway there, a mutation suddenly occurred without warning.

Chaos suddenly appeared in the originally calm rear, and countless people fled in all directions while shouting loudly, "The Hu people are coming, the Hu people are coming", and most of them instinctively rushed into the mountain road to join the army for protection.

Xie Yukun, who was in the middle of the mountain road, was shocked, and immediately sent spies to find out what was going on.

Not long after, the spies came back to report that the emperor was rushing over with thousands of soldiers. Behind them, a large number of Hu cavalry were chasing them.

Due to the distance, it was difficult to tell how many Hu people there were for a while, but it would certainly not be less than 40,000 or 50,000.

Hearing the news, everyone, including Xie Yukun, changed their faces greatly.

How could there be so many Hu people in ambush behind them? How did these Hu people avoid the guards and outposts in various places?

This question instantly appeared in the minds of all the generals.

Mr. Xiao, a staff member, was the one who reacted the fastest, and he immediately proposed to Xie Yukun: "General, the most important thing now is to leave here first, and you must not block here." ”

As soon as Xie Yukun heard that it made sense, he immediately ordered: "Leave the people behind, hurry up and rush out." ”

This so-called "people behind", needless to say, naturally includes Emperor Shuntian and others.

Now that the situation is urgent, Xie Yukun can't take care of this layer of skin anymore, and just wants to get out of here quickly.

So the second group of teams, which had gone halfway, left behind the hundreds of thousands of people and their emperors to run forward desperately.

However, a wave did not settle, a wave rose, and the situation suddenly arose in front of him, and countless recruits who had already left Wudao Pavilion suddenly ran back, and shouted "Hu people are coming, Hu people are coming" as they ran.

Hearing this extremely familiar sentence, everyone, including Xie Yukun, suddenly felt cold.

If there are drones at this time, you can clearly see that a large number of Hu cavalry are rushing towards both ends of the mountain road from all directions.

In the face of the fierce Hu people, whether it was a recruit who had just debuted or an ordinary man in the back, they did not dare to fight against it, so they could only instinctively flee to the rear.

Originally, the mountain path itself was relatively narrow, and with so many recruits running back, everyone was almost as densely packed in the mountain path as sardines in a can.

Because the entire road was full of people, the second group of main forces led by Xie Yukun could not move at all, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Seeing this scene, the staff member Mr. Xiao's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly said loudly to Xie Yukun: "General, we must not stop here, we must rush out no matter what." Otherwise, the Hu people will block the intersection on both sides, and we will become turtles in the urn. ”

When Xie Yukun heard this, he immediately shuddered, and immediately pulled out the long sword at his waist and raised it high and shouted: "Listen to my orders, everyone rushes forward, and anyone who stands in the way will be killed." ”

Hearing Xie Yukun's order, the main force composed of the Southwest Army and the Fifth Army Battalion immediately raised their weapons and rushed forward.

Whenever a recruit blocked the road on the road, he directly slashed it with a knife, and then stepped on the corpse of the other party and continued to rush forward.

After killing hundreds of people in a row, the recruits were all terrified and hurriedly made way for the people behind them to pass.

All the soldiers of the Southwest Army and the Fifth Army Battalion knew that it was a critical moment of life and death, not to mention meeting their colleagues, even if they faced the Hu people, they dared to go up and fight.

The instinct to survive made them forget their fear of the Hu people for a while, and all they had in their minds was the thought of rushing forward.

However, when they finally rushed to the intersection, they were extremely desperate to see that the intersection ahead had been blocked by a large number of tree trunks.

Not to mention horses, even people are very difficult to climb over.

At this time, almost everyone had already thought that this was a trap set by the Hu people in advance, and the purpose was to block all of them in the Wudao Pavilion to catch turtles in an urn.

"Sir is really clever, even the fact that the Xie family will treat the recruits as the vanguard can be calculated, it's really amazing." Outside the battlefield, the eldest prince Arobu said to Mr. Qiu beside him with a look of admiration.

The key to this plan lies in who comes out first.

If the first to walk out of Wudao Pavilion was the main force composed of the Southwest Army and the Five Army Battalions, then the Hu people would have to fight a tough battle with them face to face.

Although the Hu people had the advantage in terms of combat power, the Wei army had a large number of victories, and it was difficult to predict the outcome if the two sides fought at that time.

However, Mr. Qiu said very firmly that Xie Yukun would not let his henchmen and main forces enter the dangerous place first, and would definitely let the people or recruits take the lead in entering the mountain road.

The result really made Mr. Qiu guess correctly, and it was really those recruits who came out first. This couldn't help but convince the eldest prince Arobu.

Mr. Qiu, who was still covering his face, sneered: "Xie Yukun is suspicious and likes to be smart.

Since he is the leader, with his character, he will never let his henchmen take the lead in the adventure of the mountain road, but will send people or recruits to take the lead in replacing the dead ghosts.

It's just that the old man didn't expect that he was afraid of dying like this, so he actually divided the whole army into three sections and passed them one by one, giving us enough time to prepare.

Your Highness, it's not too late, we can begin. ”

The eldest prince Arobu nodded, and then ordered loudly: "Pass my order and set fire to the mountain." Except for the man in the golden armor, all the others who escaped were killed by me, and not one of them was left."

With the sound of horns, countless Hu soldiers began to divide into multiple paths, each carrying torches and fire oil to climb the mountain. Behind him, more Hu men armed with bows and arrows, swords and spears followed.

A bloody massacre is about to begin.

And the countless soldiers and civilians in the mountain road were still in chaos and frightened, and they didn't even know that disaster was coming.
