People will always feel afraid of the unknown, even if it is a strong warrior, the difference is just control, the brave can turn fear into motivation, and the cowardly, but will only be crushed by fear, it is clear that can serve as a sentinel, are quite courageous and brave, not only **, the big food army is also the same, the dozen or so sentry although nervous, but still brave into the valley road, but the queue is very open, a group of three, two with swords and shields, one bends the bow and arrows, The cover between each other is also quite in place.

Dead silence, a faction of dead silence, except for the sound of horses' hooves, there is no sound in the valley road, the cliff next to the road is quiet, it seems that no one is on it, and on the ruins at the mouth of the valley, the ** officers and soldiers who have already occupied the favorable terrain are not in a hurry to move, they are all lying behind the concealment, just quietly watching the slow approach of the big food rangers.

The valley road is not long, it was originally only a straight hundred zhang, but there are more than ten zhang wide, one side is a steep cliff, the other side is the turbulent Amu Darya, and the cliff that was blown down by ** is not at the forefront of the valley mouth, but is in a position close to the center, less than sixty zhang from the valley, even if the speed of the big food outpost is slow, there is not much road to rub in, just a tea or so time, more than a dozen horses have arrived in front of the ruins but twenty zhang.

"Fire!"

Twenty zhang is already a dangerous distance, and if it is closer, the bow and arrow in the hand of the big food sentry can already threaten the safety of the ** officers and soldiers, and Lu Sansheng, who has already run to the first row to supervise the battle, does not dare to delay any longer, and shouts and gives an order.

"Bah, Bah, Bah......"

As early as the time when the big food sentry marched into the valley road, the guns in the hands of the first row of officers and soldiers had been aimed for a long time, this time listening to the order of their own regiment commander, how could there be any politeness at all, they pulled the trigger in their hands, a burst of fried bean-like guns rang out, the smoke of gunpowder rolled up, and the bullets swept past the unprepared big food rangers like locusts. The seven horsemen had fallen off their horses with a miserable howl, and when the rest saw this, they panicked, and they didn't care about probing any more, so they hurriedly turned their horses' heads and fled in a panic, which attracted a burst of guns from the first row of soldiers, and at the end, only the three horsemen escaped by luck.

"Stop shooting, quick, and dig the fortifications!"

Lu Sansheng didn't plan to leave all the outposts behind, nor did he plan to expose any more firepower, and when he saw that the enemy cavalry had already left the valley road, he immediately broke off and suppressed the impulse of the soldiers to annihilate the remnants of the enemy.

The first division of the army is the most advanced army in contemporary times, although the rear loading gun can not be compared with the automatic semi-automatic rifle of later generations, and there is a lack of machine guns and other covering killing weapons, but artillery, infantry shovels, bayonets, large ** and other equipment is not lacking, especially infantry shovels, completely imitated the equipment of the German army in later generations, although the quality of steel is slightly lacking, but it is still easy to use, but listening to Lu Sansheng's order, the officers and soldiers of the first battalion immediately moved in unison, hundreds of infantry shovels waved up and down, and soon built the ruins of the prototype of fire fortifications... …

"Report, Lord Governor, the cliff of Taniguchi has been destroyed by the Tang people, the road is blocked, and there are Tang troops guarding it, the weapon used is huge, it is a long tube, the sound is extremely loud, and the shot is a pointed iron ball, the rate of fire is extremely fast, it is difficult to see it with the naked eye, eighteen people in our department enter the valley road, only three people can return, the details are so, please give advice!"

After suffering a great loss, the Great Eclipse did not dare to enter the valley easily, so he had to rush back to his own army and report the news to Mustafa Ibn Yan.

"How did the cliff collapse, have you ever found out?"

Although Mustafa Ibnyan was a battle-hardened man, he had never seen the sharpness of the firearms unit, and he did not attach much importance to the news reported by the sentinels, but he was deeply curious about the reason for the fall of the cliff, which was nearly fifty feet high and basically composed of mountain rocks.

"Back to the governor's words, when I wait for the valley road, the cliff has collapsed, I really don't know what it is, only know that the cliff is more than 60 zhang away from the valley collapsed, the road is completely broken, the ruins formed are more than 20 zhang high, the Tang people dig on it, but they don't know what the intention is."

The Great Eclipse Army was now thirteen miles away from the mouth of the valley, and when the commander of the sentry arrived at the blasting site, it was already nearly half an hour after the explosion, how could he find out how this cliff collapsed, and he could only answer his own governor's questions in a general way, and he couldn't say why at all.

"Hmm......"

Mustafa Ibnyan also knew that it was difficult to learn more news from the sentry port, so he didn't ask any more questions, waved his hand, and retreated the commander of the sentry screen, his face was uncertain and looked in the direction of the lower valley mouth, his eyes were full of pain, just because he had many years of experience in warfare, how could he not know that his side had fallen into the calculation of **, as for whether he could break out of the encirclement, but it was still unknown, if hundreds of thousands of troops were killed here, the situation on the eastern front of the entire Great Food Country would be eroded and hopeless, as soon as he thought of this, Mustafa • Ibn Yang's heart had sunk to the bottom.

"Lord Governor, the Tang people are shameless, they dare not fight with me head-on, but they secretly conspire in a vain attempt to trap our army, although the terrain is unfavorable today, but our army has many generals, and we should fight to break the enemy!"

"Your Excellency the Governor, you will give the order, and we will fight to the death!"

"My lord, let's fight!"

……

When the generals of the Great Food saw that Mustafa Ibnyan was silent, they all couldn't help but be a little anxious, and they all went into battle one after another, and there were not a few who volunteered to fight the vanguard.

Fighting is definitely going to be fought, it's just a question of how to fight, to such a field, how can Mustafa Ibnyan not know that his side must be attacked, otherwise, morale is discharged, everything is over, sitting in the valley is still a trivial matter, the key is that most of the cattle and sheep carried by the army because of the wild pursuit of Li He's department and fell outside the valley, the dry food and not much cattle and sheep carried by the army can only support three days at most, and then in the future, I am afraid that I will have to kill the horse to survive, really at that time, the annihilation of the whole army is doomed, this battle must be fought, not only to fight, It is necessary to fight urgently, but how to fight makes Mustafa Ibn Yang a little uncertain - there seem to be a lot of choices in front of the Great Food Army, either you can return to the army to attack the ** in the valley, or you can attack forward to break out of the valley, and you can cross the river and go from the west bank, or you can abandon your horse and attack the mountains, and fight your way out of the mountains, which is also a choice, but these choices have one or another obstacles, and Mustafa Ibn Yang will be difficult to decide for a while.

"Hussein, what do you think?"

Mustafa Ibn Yang had been thinking about it for a long time, but it was still difficult to come to a conclusion, so he didn't care about how the generals shouted, his eyes rolled, and when he saw Muhammad Subn Hussein standing silently aside, his face full of thoughtfulness, and his heart moved, he opened his mouth to ask.

"Back to the words of the Governor-General, the last general thinks that although our army is deeply ambushed by the Tang people, it may not be a good opportunity to break the enemy, our army is numerous and the enemy is outnumbered, although the enemy has the advantage of geographical advantages, but also because of the division of troops to guard each key pass, so that everywhere is weak, and our army is riding, in this flat valley to dispatch conveniently, and although the enemy is high in the mountains, but it is not conducive to travel, once there is a mistake, it is difficult to mobilize reinforcements, therefore, the last general thinks that our army should rush to attack one or two places, in order to break the enemy's blockade."

Muhammad Suben Hussein has always been known for his meticulousness in the Great Food Army, and the reason why he would chase after ** regardless of the previous was the result of being angered by the disparity in battle loss ratio, and after a period of pranayama, the anxiety in his heart was gone, and his mood was calm, and he analyzed the battle situation, which was quite insightful.

"Well, in your opinion, where should you attack?"

Mustafa Ibn Jan's thoughts are roughly the same as what Muhammad Subn Hussein said, and the only thing that is difficult to determine is the choice of the point of attack.

"Lord Governor, the last general thinks that although the north pass is unblocked, but there is an enemy army to guard, but the south pass is blocked, the defenders must be limited, it seems that the choice of the main attack, however, in order to confuse the Tang people, you must also choose a feint attack, now I am east of the river, turbulent and difficult to cross, this road is not advisable, the west is a mountain, although it stretches but is not unattainable, a certain enemy will choose one of them as the place of command, looking at the mountains, can do this, there are no more than three, you can send troops to try it, once you can decide, you can go all out to attack it, destroy the head of the enemy, the Tang people have no leader, Its army will be chaotic, and it will not be difficult for our army to win. ”

As early as the rangers went to the south entrance to inspect the movements, Muhammad Subn Hussein had already thought in detail about the countermeasures, and when he heard Mustafa Ibn Yang's question, he did not panic and unhurriedly explained his thoughts one by one.

"Okay, it's decided, who dares to raise troops to attack Nankou?"

Hearing that Muhammad Subn Hussein had analyzed it so thoroughly, Mustafa ibn Yang was quite impressed, so he no longer hesitated, and after shouting hello, he looked around at his generals, raised his voice, and broke his throat.

Although it is possible to make a great feat in the first attack, but it is more likely to be a bloody encounter, even if it is successful, the casualties will undoubtedly be heavy, it is not a very easy thing to play, and the generals of the big food will not be unaware of the stakes, and they all fell silent for a while, and the scene was suddenly a strange dead silence......
