In order to recapture the gate of the eastern border, the prince personally conquered and fought the Tiger Prison Pass, which can be said to be at all costs.

In just a few days of fierce attack, the Tianchu army lost nearly 150,000 soldiers.

Because the Xuanwu army was good at defense, it had been charging forward, with heavy casualties, and nearly 60,000 soldiers died on the battlefield.

The Qinglong Army, as the first main army to arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass, plus the initial casualties, a total of about 70,000 soldiers sacrificed their lives for the country.

As for the Suzaku Legion, because it invested more strong archers in the attack, the casualties were relatively small, probably about 30,000.

Therefore, in the defense sweep, the more than 300,000 troops of the Xuanwu and Suzaku armies were basically spread out, so this sweep can be described as a net.

After receiving the order to besiege the Eighteen Bends, the two armies of more than 300,000 troops, like a river flowing into the sea, quickly converged and assembled in a linear line to the Eighteen Bends.

Five days later, the prince personally commanded the army of 90,000 Suzaku has been stationed in the periphery of the eighteen bends of the mountains, during this period, the report is reported day by day, there will still be fires flashing in the mountains every night, suspected of being hostile, in order to avoid startling the grass and snakes, the horse has not dared to go deep.

The prince knew that it would not be easy for him to dare to attack the four divine beast camps at the same time, and to make a lot of messages in the imperial city, so although he had heavy troops, he still did not attack rashly.

The crown prince knew that such a great enemy, the king of Chu must be eager to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, and if he could capture it, the merit would not be inferior to recapture the Tiger Prison.

Therefore, he must pay close attention to the enemy's east and west, as long as the enemy army does not escape from this mountain, and when the army is assembled, he can fully enter the mountains and sweep and take it in one fell swoop. And until then, you must not startle the snake.

Seven days passed, and finally when Xiang Tianba gathered 70,000 Xuanwu troops to arrive, the Second Vermilion Bird army had also been assembled, and the total strength had reached more than 200,000.

The prince ordered, the army entered the mountains in an all-round way, and swept through the carpet.

Xiang Tianba volunteered to go into the mountains to capture the thief, and the prince agreed, ordering his commander to go deep and surround the approximate location of the exploration horse, vowing not to escape a thief.

The prince was stationed outside the mountain, continuing to wait for the Xuanwu army to arrive later, and continued to guard the periphery to prevent the enemy from escaping.

Three days later, the army had set its sights on one of the main peaks, Cunning Rabbit Mountain.

As the saying goes, there are three holes in the cunning rabbit. And this mountain, the soil is very suitable for burrowing, so hares gather, burrows all over, criss-crossing the underground, extending in all directions. Therefore, once the hare enters the burrow, it is nowhere to be found, and it is difficult to catch it. It is said that only because there are too many caves, the cunning rabbit is difficult to hunt, and even the eagle rarely hovers in this mountain, so it is named.

The 200,000 army surrounded the Cunning Rabbit Mountain, like an iron bucket, without leakage.

Xiang Tianba took the lead and led the army to rush forward. If it was a lone army trapped on the top of the mountain, it should be stubbornly resistant, but after the army launched a charge, it was not blocked at all, which greatly surprised everyone, and even the little overlord who had always been rough had an ominous premonition.

The army successfully reached the top of the mountain, and on the top of the mountain, there were only a few camp tents on the periphery, empty, and then there were hundreds of piles of ashes and dry firewood, and the piles of ashes were no longer visible.

But the firewood that has not yet burned is very interesting, and there are small mechanisms next to it, which should be used to keep time, and an oil lamp is placed on it, and when the mechanism is timed, the oil lamp overturns, and the firewood is ignited by the trend.

Looking at that posture, the Great Yan Army has indeed been here.

Moreover, the timing mechanism next to these firewood piles is designed to be extremely accurate, looking at the posture, if the Tianchu army does not come, the remaining hundreds of piles of dry firewood will continue to ignite on time. And the source of the firelight that Tianchu Tanma was looking at from afar before was also clear at a glance.

More than 200,000 troops, seeing the scene in front of them, were silent for a while, the needle drop could be heard, and the silence was terrifying.

All I could hear was the heavy breathing of my body and the tireless chirping of cicadas in the mountains.

"Ah、、、、h

The little overlord roared with an earth-shattering roar, and lifted the axe to pick up the firewood piles, and the sawdust flew all over the place, as if the peerless god of war, killing into the millions of enemy troops, the big axe flew over, and it lasted for a long time, but no one dared to step forward to dissuade him, for fear of causing fire.

Xiang Tianba danced wildly for a long time before he gradually stopped, his eyes widened angrily, and he shouted: "Go back to the camp!" "Turn around and go.

The army of 200,000 quickly followed, retreating like a tide from the Cunning Rabbit Mountain.

When he returned to the camp outside the mountain, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was even more speechless for a while, his fists were clenched, and he wanted to deduct blood without knowing it.

However, the crown prince, the crown prince, did not think of the crazy gaffe like the little overlord, but immediately ordered all the troops to return to the throne immediately, continue to search, and wait for the king of Chu to fall after the class returned to the dynasty.

In fact, the prince and the little overlord didn't know that a few days ago, the old marshal Hu Yanlie of the Blue Dragon Legion had sent more than one battle report, but all the battle reports sent out were like stones sinking into the sea, and once they were issued, there was no news.

And the crown prince and the little overlord were busy rounding up the enemy, and they never sent a battle report to the Qinglong Army, nor did they ever receive a battle report from the Qinglong Army.

As early as when the prince ordered to rush to the eighteen bends at full speed, that night, in the middle of the night, the Blue Dragon Legion heard a loud noise that shook the sky, like an earthquake, however, if it was carefully identified, it was like a galloping horse, from far to near, and then to the distance.

Could it be that the Great Yan Army also took advantage of the camp to rob the camp? Since the Tianchu army stopped attacking the city, the truce between the two armies has been peaceful, and the Great Yan Army has relied on the advantages of Xiongguan, and the casualties in the previous battle are far less than that of the Tianchu army, and the strength of preservation should be stronger than that of the Tianchu army. But once they go out of the customs to fight, they lose the advantage of the strong pass and have no advantage.

And now although Da Yan has captured the Tiger Prison Pass and has declared war on Tianchu, but the incident happened suddenly, judging from the current form, Da Yan should not have hoarded enough troops and materials in the Tiger Prison Pass to invade Tianchu in a big way, so it should not be the Great Yan Army robbing the camp.

Could it be that the mysterious Great Yan Army in Tianchu has returned? As soon as this thought appeared, the old marshal Hu Yanlie was shocked into a cold sweat, jumped up with a "poof", and immediately gathered troops and horses and went out of the camp to intercept.

As a result of the fate, the silent camp of the Green Dragon Legion immediately boiled, with loud voices and neighing horses.

The old marshal Hu Yanlie is still relatively good in governing the army, and in less than two incense sticks, 50,000 cavalry of the Qinglong Army have galloped out, and the rest of the armies followed closely and killed together to the Tiger Prison Pass.

Galloping for twenty miles, rushing to the tiger prison to close, the city gate is closed at this moment, but the city tower is brightly lit, lively and extraordinary. On the top of the city tower, Prince Yun and a handsome young man stood side by side, looking out of the city.

Prince Yun said loudly: "Old Marshal Huyan, could it be that the night is long, and there is nothing to do, do you want to have supper with this king?" ”

Seeing the actions of the Great Yan Army, breathing in the dust and the breath of war horses in the air, the old marshal Huyanlie knew that he was still too late, and the mysterious army that attacked the hinterland of Tianchu had already entered the customs safely, and there was no possibility of capture.
