On the afternoon of this day, not long after Zhao Sang led two hundred heavy cavalry to completely annihilate the two hundred light cavalry of the Khitan army, another battle of a much larger scale started at the same time in Shenchi Valley.

The two sides were two thousand lunge mixed troops of the Xinzhenwu Army led by Captain Huang Zhi, and two thousand vanguard battalions led by a Shuozhou Army lieutenant general named Qin Chi, including 1,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry.

When Qin Chi arrived at Shenchi Pass, it was about half past three in the afternoon, and the sun was still hanging high in the sky, hot. Although the army came from the shady valley, all the tired soldiers were sweating.

There's no way, the terrain of this pit daddy is like this, all the way uphill, and the inconspicuous ones are tired and lie down.

But the marshal An Chongrong in the back was urging him tightly, Qin Chi had no choice but to drive the team, no matter what, he had to go to a place where he could see the pass or encounter the enemy army before he could rest.

Now, he saw that the divine pond was closed.

Just like when He Daxian first came here half a month ago, he saw almost exactly the same situation, a tattered city wall stopped at the mountain pass, and there were some soldiers guarding the pass standing on the city wall, wearing the military uniforms of the new Zhenwu army, walking around listlessly, and the city tower smashed by Yelu Lihu at the city gate has also been rebuilt, but it is relatively cold.

The broken pillar was re-tied with some bark ropes, and a door panel only the thickness of the palm of the hand was stolen from the houses of the common people in some place, and tied it with straw ropes and leaned against the city wall, which was considered a city gate.

I feel that the strength of the city defense at this pass is about slightly worse than a pigsty.

Qin Chi Zhonglang will look at this strange Shenchi Pass from afar, with a smirk on his face.

Nima, do you want to keep playing like this? Is it fun to play dumb?

There is still such a bad taste!

The Shuozhou army climbed up from the bottom of the mountain, and at almost every turn along the way, they saw piles of Khitan bones, some of which were piled together for a dozen, and some of which were piled up into a mountain. Naturally, all the weapons and equipment and clothes were taken away, and then no matter how many corpses there were, they were burned without exception, and there was basically no flesh left, only bones. The black bones, the skulls, make people shiver when they look at it. In some places, where the corpses were piled up so much, the bones underneath were burned to ashes!

What does it mean that you put the corpses of the Khitans all the way, and then come here, and pretend to be "I'm weak, come and fight me"?

Is it an empty city plan?

After arranging the basic defenses to prevent the new Zhenwu army in Guanli from rushing out, Qin Chi ordered to rest in place.

Taking advantage of the rest of the army, Qin Chi summoned two captains to discuss, and everyone couldn't say anything, so they simply looked at Chief Qin Chi.

"My lord, you command, fight or not!"

Qin Chi thought about it carefully.

The fight is definitely going to be fought, the enemy is pretending to be stupid, and there may be a ruthless move behind the back, so it doesn't matter.

In an army of several thousand people, only those who were killed, and those who were not frightened to death.

Don't even dare to fight the enemy without seeing it, is that still like words?

However, he still wanted to test it first.

So he summoned a cavalry captain to come over, and after whispering a few words, the cavalry captain held up a white flag, slapped his horse and ran under the city wall, and shouted:

"Listen to the sergeant in the city, General An Chongrong An of Shuozhou passed by and ordered your city to immediately lay down its arms and surrender, otherwise when our army breaks the city, there will be no chickens and dogs!"

The heads of several older veterans of the Xinzhenwu Army poked out from the top of the city, and one of them called:

"General An is mighty, General An Da, please come in!"

Then, after a few tinkering moments behind the crumbling gate, the gate creaked open.

At the same time, several veterans on the city wall shouted in unison: "Respectfully invite the Shuozhou army to enter the pass!" ”

The cavalry captain who ran over to shout the formation was stunned for a moment, and Qin Chi and the other officers and soldiers behind him were also stunned.

It's that easy?

It's as simple as that, open the door of the city gate and let us in?

Are you really not defensive? Scared to open the gates?

Is this teasing us?

When the shouting cavalry captain ran back, Qin Chi directly pointed at him and more than a hundred cavalry under his banner and asked them to go in and explore the way.

The cavalry captain was a little frightened, and looked at his captain, thinking that there was no other way.

Well, there are no immortals in war! People die and birds rise to the sky, and they do not die for thousands of years.

The captain of the cavalry stretched out his hand and beckoned more than 130 cavalrymen under his command, gritted his teeth, and lined up in a long line, and rushed into the city gate first.

When I ran in, I found that there was another city wall about fifty meters in front, and there were also city walls dozens of meters away on both sides. These walls are not high, only three or four meters in appearance, but they cannot be seen from the outside, and can only be seen when you enter the city gates.

It's not good, it's Urn City!

Urn city is the ancient cold weapon war period, a very effective means of city defense, even if the enemy breaks through the city gate, run into but find that run into a patio with nowhere to escape, the enemy can stand on the surrounding city wall to shoot arrows or smash stones down, quite a door to fight the smell of dogs!

When the cavalry captain looked back, he was suddenly devastated!

Sure enough, the city walls behind and on both sides of the city were densely packed with archers!

Finished! The Shuozhou cavalry who rushed in subconsciously urged the horses to run quickly, and their hearts were already like ashes.

However, the imaginary rain of arrows did not appear, and the new Zhenwu army did not release a single arrow, but someone shouted: "Run, run, there is a road ahead!" ”

Hey? What's going on? Don't have to die today?

Seeing that there was an open doorway in the middle of the city wall in front of them, these Shuozhou cavalrymen who had escaped death rushed over without thinking about it.

The doorway is so narrow that you can only run through it on a single horse.

The problem is, when you run over, it feels a little wrong.

Behind the doorway is a straight passage, and there are walls on both sides, but the width of the two sides is less than ten meters.

It has become a small alley in the city.

Is Nima here trying to play the maze?

Twenty meters further along this alley, two forks appeared, and a fortress of archers in the shape of a bunker was built on the city wall. When the people inside saw the Shuozhou army coming, they immediately began to chant loudly: "Those who want to die turn left, and those who surrender turn right." ”

That's insulting!

Do you have to die if you don't surrender? You don't talk like that!

The cavalry behind rushed up, and the cavalry captain couldn't think too much, so he turned his horse and ran to the left, followed by a few of his own own soldiers.

More Shuozhou soldiers chose to turn right.

No one's life is blown by the wind, it is all raised by parents. It's one thing to surrender or not, let's survive first!

The cavalry captain who ran to the left did not run a few dozen meters before he found that the exit of this small alley was a cliff, and if he continued to run, he would fall under a waterfall more than ten meters high, so he had to return in disgrace and run right after the brigade at the fork.

Where did you run to the right?

Ran into a large pool.

It's a waterhole about the size of two or three basketball courts, and the water in the waterhole is not deep, only about a meter. When the cavalry captain ran in, he had already seen the Shuozhou cavalry full of embarrassment.

The most important thing is that the pool is also surrounded by a circle of archers and spearmen, and if you want to wade across the water and get ashore, you will have to fight. But when you are in the water, and people are on the shore, and the spears are pointed, and the bows and arrows are also pointed, how can you fight?

The new Zhenwu troops on the shore are also shouting:

"Throw the saber into the water, count three times, whoever has a knife in his hand, immediately release the arrow!" One, two, three"

There was a crackling sound, and sure enough, all the hundred or so cavalry soldiers, including the cavalry captain, hurriedly threw away the weapons in their hands.

"Get off the horse, lead the horse over, whoever still has a knife on his body, stab him to death immediately, don't explain!"

In this way, the 100 or so Shuozhou cavalry walked ashore one after another, wet and wet, and were pressed to the ground by the infantry of the Xinzhenwu Army, tied their arms behind their backs, and then escorted them to a large cave nearby and locked them up.

This is another scientific murder trick devised by Ho Tai Sin.

For He Daxian, the most unaccustomed thing is to erect a wall and stop people. Isn't this forcing people to take a ladder to attack the city? Everybody's miserable.

The strength of the army is like the flow of water, and hard blocking is the stupidest way, how good it would be to open a door for them.

When ordinary people see that there is a way to go, they basically don't think of climbing the wall, not to mention that the urn city in front is frightened, and the back is urging and rushing, where is there still time to think.

To deal with the Khitan soldiers, it is best to rush all to the cliff and fall to their deaths.

As for the Shuozhou soldiers, everyone has the same roots, and capture is the main means.
