In Zhuolu City, Shao Yuniang looked at Xie Ai who was in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a little bit of the intention of taking the school in her heart, so she asked: "Shijie, can you know Wild Fox Ridge?" ”

"General Hui, I know a little bit about it, along the northern line of Shanggu, Guangning, and Dai three counties, it is the junction of the Youyan Plain and the Bashang Grassland, and it is the easternmost section of the southern branch of Yinshan Mountain, and there is a very dangerous pass in the ridge - Yehu Lingkou."

"In ancient times, there were roe deer wolves and wild foxes in groups, so it was called 'Wild Fox Ridge', where the mountains are high and the wind is fierce, and it is also called the black wind mouth."

"On the Wild Fox Ridge, looking down to the south, the mountains are undulating, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal. But see the majestic Great Wall of Qin and Yan, hovering on the deep stream cliff to the northeast, it is magnificent; Looking back to the north, it is an endless flat and open grassland on the dam, which is connected to the grassland on the dam and is the throat of the traffic leading from the land of Youyan to the grassland outside the Saiwai. ”

"The steep Yehu Ridge is known as 'one man is the pass, ten thousand people are not open', since the rise of Liaodong, the Wild Fox Ridge Pass has always been the most important pass in the south of Tuoba Xianbei. It can be said that the mouth of Yehuling has been a military fortress since ancient times, a place where soldiers must fight, just stuck in the throat of the Liaodong Army going north to the grassland, with the danger of Yehuling, the Hu people can attack and retreat. ”

"I don't know the world, do you have a plan to help me take this important place?"

"The place of shape is invincible, you can only outwit!"

"Well, the words of the world festival have won my heart, I don't know if you are willing to take on this heavy responsibility?"

"I don't dare to ask for ears if I want to!"

Seeing Xie Ai's confident appearance of holding a wisdom pearl, Shao Yuniang specially reminded: "At present, there are 3,000 Xianbei garrisons at the mouth of Yehu Lingkou, and Xianbei people patrol every day. ”

"No! Please rest assured that the general will be cautious in the future. ”

Xie Ai was very excited, Da Sima Zhi's cultivation value has always inspired him deeply, and there is an opportunity to prove himself in front of him, he must seize it, and there is no room for a mistake.

With Shao Yuniang's authorization, Xie Ai immediately went down to make arrangements, he dared to pack the ticket in front of Shao Yuniang because he knew Yehuling well. In his opinion, the Wild Fox Ridge fell into the hands of the Hu people, and it was really a great terrain in vain.

The Hu people did not know how to build a city, and there were no craftsmen and technicians, so they could not build a pass according to the terrain of Yehuling, so they could only use some trees to make a simple wooden fence. In normal times, it is used to intercept business travel and collect taxes; In wartime, it is a simple 'city' that the defenders can rely on.

However, don't look at the simple pass, but because it is built on the mountain, the terrain is dangerous, and if you want to force it, you will have to pay a huge price. But as long as you can manage to blend into the wooden fence, it will not be difficult for Wild Fox Ridge to take it.

……

As the saying goes: spring is sleepy and autumn is lacking! A sunny spring afternoon always makes people feel drowsy. One afternoon, the entire Wild Fox Ridge was bathed in warm spring sunshine. Although the Xianbei people guarding the customs were already drowsy, they held on to their spirits and dutifully checked the business travelers in the past.

Don't look at the war that is about to start, but Yehuling does not seem to be affected, everything seems to be business as usual, there are still merchants who come and go between the grassland and Youyan to do business. Since the rise of Liaodong and the Hu people can no longer go south to fight the grass valley, business travel has become an important way for the grassland tribes to obtain supplies.

The only difference was that the Yehuling garrison was more numerous than usual, and the rangers patrolled the area more intensively, and it seems that the Hu people also recognized the importance of this place.

At this time, the Xianbei generals guarding the pass suddenly saw a caravan coming from afar on the mountain road in the south, and every four knights followed the caravan slowly around a carriage, which was stuffed with sacks, and did not know what to load.

The Xianbei general's eyes narrowed, and his eyes showed a scorching greed. Every time a business traveler passes, the Xianbei people have to profit from it.

It's a pity that this group of business travelers who came here is not an ordinary person, Xie Ai deliberately found someone to pretend, in order not to arouse the suspicion of the Xianbei people, except for the fifty guards who are soldiers of the Liaodong Army, the rest of the guys are hired from real merchants' families.

Since the rise of Liaodong, due to the critical location of Yehuling, countless business travelers will pass through it every day and every month. Therefore, the Xianbei guard did not suspect anyone at all when he closed the Xianbei guard,

Seeing that he was about to come to the front of the pass, a man in the middle, who was originally careless, suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Have you arrived?" ”

A knight next to him hurriedly replied: "Lord Dubo, there is Wild Fox Ridge in front." ”

"Okay, tell me to go down, let the brothers get ready, and then wait for my gesture, and everyone will start to win the level together."

"Stop! What's on the car?! "As soon as the convoy arrived at the pass, it was stopped by the Xianbei people.

"Back to the general, the car was loaded with tea and salt, and I wanted to exchange some cattle, sheep and livestock in Monan." The guy stepped forward and replied.

"Why are there so many of you?" Xianbei frowned, looking at the fifty guards who followed, with a trace of uneasiness in his heart.

"General Hui, I heard that there has been a war in the north recently, and for the sake of safety, we and other businessmen have to hire more guards."

"Really?" The Xianbei people scanned the guards back and forth with suspicion.

Seeing that the Xianbei people were suspicious, he couldn't help but let Du Bo behind him secretly sweat, and his eyes swept the entire pass from time to time, looking for an easy place to break through. After observing Dubo, he found that the Xianbei people in the city focused their defense on closing the gate, and as long as the city gate was attacked, the defenders on both sides could reinforce it in the shortest possible time.

Observing this, Dubo's heart sank, and he couldn't help but worry that his group would not be able to hold out and not be able to hold out on to the arrival of the main force.

Just when Dubo was thinking about his own thoughts, the guy over there had already negotiated with the Xianbei people to buy the road money. Xie Ai found a guy who is worthy of being a businessman who runs the grassland all the year round, and he is very familiar with all kinds of doorways, and he privately stuffed a lot of money into the Xianbei people who guarded the door.

The Xianbei man, who was originally a little skeptical, was immediately happy when he received a few heavy silver dollars, and suddenly forgot his job, and waved his hand again and again to let the caravan hurry through.

Seeing that everything was going well, Duber quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and rushed around to make everyone ready. When everyone had completely entered the gate, Dubo suddenly pulled out the ring head knife from his waist and slashed at the Xianbei people around him like lightning.

"Kill!" With a roar, the entire pass shouted and killed, and fifty Liaodong soldiers killed the Xianbei people one after another, snatching control of the gate, and at the same time lit wolf smoke to report to the main force.

Xie Ai, who was waiting for news in the rear, immediately knew that the plan to seize the level had succeeded, and he immediately asked his subordinates to speed up. Under Xie Ai's urging, three thousand sword and shield soldiers and one thousand crossbowmen rushed towards the Wild Fox Ridge.

At the same time, the battle to capture the gate has reached a white-hot level, and the Xianbei defenders know the importance of Yehuling, and mobilize all the defenders to constantly encircle and kill the Liaodong army, trying to recapture the control of the gate as soon as possible.

The Liaodong army involved in stealing the pass was all elite, although the number was small, but everyone formed a small defensive formation, relying on the narrow terrain in the pass, actually blocked the siege of the superior forces of the Xianbei people.

The enemy and us launched a fierce white-knuckle battle, the soldiers of the Liaodong Army were extremely fierce, and the Xianbei defenders who killed them retreated one after another, firmly controlling the gate and not letting the Xianbei people get closer.

At the critical moment, Xie Ai finally led the main army to kill, and when he saw the defense line that was still as stable as Mount Tai, he couldn't help but shout: "All the soldiers listen to the order: rush into the pass quickly and kill all the Xianbei people!" ”

"Kill!" With a shout, more and more Liaodong soldiers poured into the pass, and Xie Ai personally led his own soldiers to kill the pass wall, occupying a lot of positions at once.

As more and more Liaodong soldiers joined the battle group, the enemy retreated, and in less than a moment, they occupied the gate. The Xianbei people who were unwilling to defeat did not give up, but continued to rely on the Guannai to resist, and the two sides fought fiercely in the streets for control of Yehuling, and it was not until the evening that all the Xianbei people in the Guannai were annihilated.

When Xie Ai saw the fifty soldiers who had been stolen again after the war, there were less than twenty left, and all of them were wounded, some of them even had their hair burned, and Du Bo even injured an arm for it.

Xie Ai said deeply: "This attack on Yehuling is indispensable. When I return to Jicheng in the future, I will personally invite you for your reward. ”

Soon a big flag was raised in Yehuling, and the two big characters of "Liaodong" were embroidered in the middle of the flag.

That is, when the flag was raised, billowing smoke and dust rose from the direction of Zhuolu City in the south of the Yehu Mountains, and as the smoke and dust gradually approached the pass, Xie Ai, who was watching from the city tower, finally saw Shao Yuniang, one of the commanders of the Right Route Army.
