Liu Yan could have gone directly to the west with the army, all the way to Shuzhong. But after half a day of marching www.biquge.info, scouts came to report that Shuzhong had been completely occupied by the Qiang people, and the Qin army could only hold on to Jianmen Pass, Qipanguan and other places.

Therefore, the army went straight to Qipanguan. Speaking of Qipanguan, it is a Xiongguan that everyone in the Qin State understands.

This Qipan Pass, also known as Qipan Pass, is located at the throat of the Sichuan-Shaanxi junction (now the dividing line between Huangba Township, Ningqiang, Shaanxi Province and Guangyuan Zhuandou Township, Sichuan). Its terrain is dangerous, and the road is rugged, and there is a husband when the gate is not open. There is a metaphor for saying:

"There are thousands of rocks on it, and they are about to overwhelm people. There is a stream of thousands of zhang below, and it is clear to take pictures. The building is empty and the stone is hanging, and the edge is like a worm. From the bottom up, it is difficult to lead by looking up. From top to bottom, deep suspicion into the well 1. However, the seventh panxiong went to the dangerous ridge with twists and turns. ”

It can be seen that its terrain is dangerous, in addition to the fact that it is also the only road hub connecting the northeast, north China, the Central Plains and the northwest north of the Qinling Mountains in Shuzhong. Therefore, after King Qin Hui laid down Shuzhong at that time, he called this place the first pass of Western Qin.

The sergeants who had been here at that time were speechless in astonishment, and sighed at the weakness of humanity in amazement by the wonders of nature. When Qipanling was about to enter the customs, Liu Yan urged the horse to catch up with the commander Ma Chuang, blocked his way, and said: General, although the terrain here is dangerous, it is also said by the army. If the enemy army sends a small force of the enemy to come, our iron cavalry is so heavy that we can only stand and be beaten!

Ma Chuangwen said: A criminal general does not know what to do, and tries in vain to command this general?

When Liu Yan saw this person talking like this, he knew that he was a person with a smart mind and well-developed limbs. He didn't say much, he just kindly reminded him. Go back to the front of the cavalry, call the head of the armor, order the cavalry to stop, make way out and let the infantry go ahead.

When the horse saw Liu Yan's move, he stepped forward: Bold, why did you make this trip?

"The mountain road is rugged, and the cavalry will delay the trip before leaving, so you should understand this. I hope that my lord will not miss the personal relationship with the lieutenant of the Chinese army and ruin the lives of thousands of warriors! ”

As soon as Liu Yan's words came out, the cavalry behind them all looked at Ma Chuang angrily, and Ma Chuang fell for this trick. Ate and walked away.

Liu Yan was not idle: the cavalry obeyed the order, removed the heavy armor of the horse, and held it on his back. Others are thrown out, leaving a hundred people to collect and distribute them after entering the customs, don't get on the horse, remember to lead the horse.

Most of the sergeants were troublesome and complained. Feng Jiang also felt that Liu Yan was a little too surprised: Yan, is it necessary that this place is less than a hundred miles away from my Qin camp?

"Just in case, our cavalry has no advantage in fighting in this mountainous area, so you can't take risks. We can't afford to lose these 3,000 people, it's just the confidence to speak. ”

As he spoke, he had reached the top of Qipan, and the mountain road was even more rugged. Surrounded by trees, a path of ten people crossed side by side. Further up are cliffs. At this time, Liu Yan led the horse and thought of Cao Cao's defeat after the Battle of Chibi of the Three Kingdoms, and wanted to laugh at Zhuge Liang: I laugh that the Wolong village man will not use soldiers, if it is me, I will set up troops here.

Just as he told the time of the closure of the frontier, he heard someone shouting in front of him: Enemy attack! Then came a rain of arrows. Suddenly, the Qin army was in a mess, and there was nowhere to hide from the trail. And there were no heavy armor soldiers, so the infantry suffered numerous casualties.

The cavalry was already behind, and Liu Yan saw that there was really an enemy. I picked up the heavy armor of the horse and put it on my back and turned around and shouted: Put on the vest!

I can't care so much, I told them that as long as they are not stupid, they should all be clothed. But although the infantry had nothing to do with him, they were not soldiers of the Qin State, and Liu Yan couldn't bear to see them being slaughtered, and the direction from which the arrows came was in the woods on the left.

Then he pulled up the feudal territory, picked up his weapon, and ran towards the horse. Ma Chuang is also a thief, and what Liu Yan said makes sense. He got off his horse early, and now he also hid behind his vest and shouted at the infantry, but unfortunately it was annihilated by the roar of the soldiers.

At that moment, a dark shadow emerged from the woods. It seemed that he was not affected by the shadow power of the center of the earth, and flew directly towards the horse. Liu Yan Fengjiang saw the black shadow at the same time, and the two of them came to Ma Chuang's side in three steps and two steps.

At that time, the man in black also arrived, and Liu Yan stabbed at the door of the man's face with a shot, and a force in the frontier split Huashan directly towards the head of the black man. Just when the two of them were about to hurt the man in black, the man in black disappeared strangely.

"" Liu Yan couldn't believe it, and when he looked back, he saw that the man was already standing behind Ma Chuang, and the dagger was against Ma Chuang's neck. After the man in black stood still, Liu Yan could see clearly, the man didn't look old, he looked like he was thirty or forty years old. It's just that there is a horizontal scar on the bridge of the nose, which runs through the entire face.

The man wanted to make a move, but when he saw Liu Yan staring at his face, he said: Qin Ren, can you see my face?

Liu Yandao: Whose face can't be seen?

The man in black smiled, and suddenly gave people a very kind feeling, but the scar ruined the atmosphere: Haha, you are finally here. Then he kicked Pegasus and jumped out three or five feet high, whistled in the air, the rain of arrows was gone, and the man disappeared into the air.

"Can you see this man's face?" Feng Jiang looked at Liu Yan and said.

Liu Yan looked at Fengjiang inexplicably: Can't you see it?

"I can't see it, it's just a black outline"

"Huh?" Liu Yan is a little confused, what's going on, it's not scientific.

Besides, Ma Chuang also threw Liu Yan's admired five bodies to the ground at this time, this thing thought that Liu Yan used some strange trick to save himself, got up and grabbed Liu Yan's hand and didn't let go: Xie Yan forward, life-saving grace. Yan Ke is really clever.....

How could Liu Yan have the leisure to listen to what he said here, he only cared about what happened to his cavalry at this time. After a few casual words, he sent Ma Chuang back to the cavalry with Fengjiang. When asked, there were no casualties, and the people below now admired Liu Yan, and all the complaints were gone, only that they were blind as fools.

In the distance, the horse's hooves announced that the Qin soldiers in the Qipan Pass had heard the movement and came to support. After the completion of the counting, it was concluded that the infantry had 300 dead and 500 wounded, and that none of the cavalry had been killed or wounded. For a team of 10,000 people, this casualty was a drop in the bucket.

After the army was put in order, it began to march, and Liu Yan was not idle during this period, so that the cavalry received heavy armor and was fully armed. Feng Jiang also asked how to only show that it was to deter the enemy.
