Chapter 21: Loyal Souls Without Borders

Qin Tian and others, looking at the Tiger Pass from afar, the city pass is dozens of meters high, more than ten meters wide, stretching for hundreds of miles, the gate of the city pass is stuck in the Songyuan Mountains and the traffic throat of the Tianchu Dynasty, this city gate can be said to be the only way for Dayan and Tianchu to travel through the Songyuan Mountains, extremely important.

It was the painstaking efforts of several generations of emperors of the Tianchu Dynasty, and this is a barrier that everyone knows and cannot be crossed. And it is such a vital Xiongguan, its right to use is in the hands of the Tianchu Dynasty, which can be attacked and defended.

Yu Tianchu, this is an excellent location, Yu Dayan, this is a barrier comparable to ascending to the sky. If Dayan wants to dominate Kyushu, this Tiger Prison may be the first level that needs to be overcome.

In fact, the Great Yan Dynasty also wanted to establish such a checkpoint on the border to ward off foreign enemies, especially Tianchu. But the construction of such a level is time-consuming and laborious, and it is by no means something that ordinary dynasties can afford.

The Tianchu Dynasty didn't know how much it had paid for this, and the people were full of grievances, but the Tianchu Dynasty was still martial, heavy soldiers, and the punishment was severe, and under the extremely severe suppression, thousands of people dared not speak out.

The Great Yan Dynasty has always valued harmony and benevolence and filial piety, so this project has been difficult to carry out, so it has not been built so much.

In the Tiger Prison Pass, the soldiers of Tianchu had just received the remnants of the vanguard army into the city, and they saw thousands of horses galloping in the distance, covering the sky with dust, obviously the chasing soldiers had arrived. The garrison general gave the order, the city gate was closed, and the battle was prepared.

The vanguard army has more than 30,000 people, which is an elite division, and if it is so embarrassed and defeated, the enemy army must be extremely strong. Therefore, although there are more than 200,000 troops in the pass, they have already assembled and are ready to go on the march, but they will never dare to open the door to meet the enemy easily at this moment. As long as they close the gate and defend the city, they are still extremely calm, after all, this tiger prison is not so easy to break.

After seeing the Tiger Prison Pass from afar, Qin Tian had no intention of attacking, and came here just to see the strange pass in the world, and to drive the remnants of Tianchu back by the way.

More than 10,000 remnants of the army returned to the Tianchu camp, and the generals of the defeated army will inevitably be punished, and they will not be reused for the time being.

But for the Great Flame, it is more than 10,000 plague seeds, and the legend that the Great Flame has no one to be a soldier will begin to sprout and grow from here. The goal had been achieved, and with Qin Tian's order, the Flame Army disappeared into the vast mountains in an instant like a hurricane.

On the way back, the casualties of the Flame Army had been clearly counted, and the heavy cavalry battalion had more than 500 wounded and no casualties. In the spear battalion, almost everyone was wounded, but most of them were lightly wounded, and the problem was not big, and seven people were killed in battle. Ranger battalion, no casualties.

When Prince Yun and the others heard this number, they couldn't believe it, 10,000 flame troops defeated several times their own enemy army, killed nearly 20,000 people, and only killed seven of their own people, this is definitely a legend, an unprecedented legend, then this battle can be described as a great victory.

But in Qin Tian's opinion, the death of seven people is also a great loss, this is all his carefully trained team, the formation of the Flame Army, basically 10,000 people, if so many people are lost in every battle, then how many people will be left when they unify Kyushu in the future? The death of these seven people was also a result that he was extremely unwilling to accept.

Therefore, when he heard the battle report, Qin Tian was not as happy as Prince Yun and the others imagined, but said inexplicably: "The defense is so fragile, it is simply unforgivable, quickly send a message to Ouyang and Dugu, don't give an explanation to the spear cavalry battalion, don't sleep!" ”

What does this mean? Prince Yun and the others were confused, but looking at Qin Tian's tone, it was clearly not a joke, and everyone was very interested and didn't ask much.

Passing through the battlefield that had just been ambushed, Qin Tian ordered to clean up the battlefield, take away all the available materials, and the remains of Tianchu soldiers were cremated and buried, and an unknown monument was erected, and all the Flame Army mourned in silence.

Although the battlefield is the enemy, they are all hot-blooded men, for the country, for the military commanders, the Si people have gone, no longer distinguish between the enemy and me, only the respect for the dead.

Seven fallen sergeants of the flames were transported back to the Great Flame. At the foot of Tianding Mountain, a cemetery was opened to bury the loyal soul of Dayan who sacrificed his life for the country.

A team of 100 people escorts the relics of the martyrs back to their hometowns, and they must be handed over to their families, and they must be clothed and clothed.

Qin Tian ordered a grand funeral for the martyrs of Great Yan, although many officials felt that it was a little too public, but after all, they were martyrs, and the Songyuan Mountains had achieved a great victory and successfully deterred Tianchu, so they did not dare to send troops to Great Yan for the time being, so it was difficult to say anything.

But the burial of the fallen soldiers of Tianchu and the silent mourning made many ministers complain.

But no matter what others think, Qin Tian still returned to his Tianding Mountain Range as always, living in a simple place, not knowing what he was busy with in the mountains.

Not many people paid attention to the situation of the Tianding Mountain Range before, but now there are countless eyes staring at the Tianding Mountain Range, but after more than a year of operation, the Tianchu Mountain Range is no longer the Tianding Mountain Range of the year, without the permission of the Flame Army or Qin Tian, if you want to enter the interior of the Tianding Mountain Range, there is no return.

Today's Tianding Mountain Range has been declared to the Great Yan and is classified as a forbidden area, and there is no permission, and those who trespass will be killed.

The news of the Great Yan Army's victory in the pine forest spread far and wide, causing a lot of shock in the Nine Heavens Continent, and all countries were a little more afraid of the Great Yan, so the battles in various parts of the Great Yan border were temporarily stable.

However, Qin Tian, who was rarely in the court, entered the palace one morning after the dynasty and met with Emperor Yan, and no one knew what he had discussed. The so-called soldiers, tricks, surprise attack unprepared, can have miraculous effects, so the less people know about it, the better.

Tiger Prison Pass, Qin Tian has seen it with his own eyes, it is never a wise move to fight hard, it is difficult to overcome the consumption of several times the enemy, and Dayan's standing army is already less than the Tianchu army, such a strong attack is unrealistic, so it can only be captured by other means.

As long as you take the Tiger Prison Pass and start a war against Tianchu, you will no longer be controlled by others, and the initiative can be in the hands of Da Yan, and you can let it go.

In this regard, Qin Tian and Emperor Yan have very unanimous opinions, but how to achieve it specifically, this is Qin Tian's business.

After the previous victory in Le'an, coupled with the current Songyuan ambush battle, every time he made a move, it was shocking, and Emperor Yan's trust in Qin Tian was beyond regain.

As long as Qin Tian said that there was a way to take the Tiger Prison Pass, all the rear support he needed would be fine, and Emperor Yan would all agree.

Between Qin Tian and Emperor Yan, there is Feiyan to pass the book, which is extremely safe and secret, and this time he specially came to the palace to discuss, it is indeed too important to capture the Tiger Prison Pass, and this battle will be the key to the world's major events.

If this first step is successfully taken, then the world is hopeful; If this first step is broken and sunk in the sand, then everything will become a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water.

So the battle of the Tiger Prison is extraordinary. When Qin Tian returned to the base of Tianding Mountain, he quietly looked back, looked at the curling smoke floating in the city under the sunset, and whispered something, which was difficult for others to hear, as if to say, "Little girl like smoke, it's up to you." ”
