The remnant sun is like blood, and the mountains that were originally full of green and full of vitality are dyed with a layer of autumn under the sunset. Ye Xiaotian stood on the hillside, watching his army march mightily.

In the first battle of Dingshan, his army lost more than 800 casualties and wounded more than 1,000 people, of which the seriously wounded had been sent back to the rear for treatment, and the lightly wounded were not in the line of fire.

Dingshan Pass was broken by them on the morning of the third day, and half of the eight tiger squatting cannons had been destroyed by now. Immediately afterwards, Ye Xiaotian worked hard and conquered Tonggu and Yancun one after another.

The terrain of these two places is not as dangerous as Dingshan, and his soldiers have quickly undergone rebirth after the bloody battle of Dingshan, and the combat experience and morale of the army are very different from before, so although there is a reduction in personnel, the combat effectiveness is more than twice as high as before.

Of course, this kind of obvious increase in combat strength usually only occurs in the army that participates in this kind of big war for the first time, just like a recruit who has just entered the battlefield, in fact, it is not how much his combat effectiveness has improved, but the problem of how much his combat effectiveness has been exerted because of Zhang Zhang's panic.

Although Ye Xiaotian's soldiers are not on the battlefield for the first time, compared to the battle at this moment, although the previous battle cannot be said to be a villager fight, it is not much stronger than the bandits, this is the real battlefield, the real hell of death.

Tonggu and Yancun were conquered one after another, and at this moment, seeing his army marching forward with high spirits, Ye Xiaotian's heart was full of pride. The crusade against Yang Yinglong is tantamount to a big training for him, and after this war, he will have an iron army that has been tempered for thousands of years, which will be his most solid reliance.

Mu Zhao, the Banzhou guard who guarded Dingshan, abandoned the pass and fled when the city was broken, and he just ran to Tonggu to breathe a sigh of relief, and Ye Xiaotian chased after him, and had no choice but to flee again. Only then did he flee to Yan Village, Ye Xiaotian's military flag swaggered again, and Mu Zhao fled to Nanmu Cave non-stop, and then stabilized his position.

Nanmu Cave, Goat Cave, and Jiantai Cave are actually three mountains, and each of the three mountains has a large cave where soldiers can be hidden. The terrain here is very dangerous, but this is the necessary place to attack Loushan Pass, and it must be defeated, otherwise once the enemy forces cut off the back road, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After Mu Zhao fled to Nanmu Cave, he immediately took over the defense of these three caves, and his remnants, plus the garrison here, as well as the farmers and people who were temporarily recruited, were no less than tens of thousands. The company camped in the village, spread all over the mountains and fields, and the momentum was very terrifying.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaotian knew that he couldn't attack hard with his men and horses all the way, so he stationed down to wait for Liu Ting. Liu Ting led the Chinese army to arrive, asked about the situation on the mountain, and immediately divided the troops into three routes, and at the same time launched a battle against Sandong. Forcing them to not be able to echo each other, they can only fight separately.

Liu Ting personally supervised the battle. Holding silver in his left hand and a large sword in his right hand, he shouted: "Those who sell their lives will be rewarded, and those who do not sell their lives will be beheaded!" There is no big reason for the naked lure of money and the deterrence of military law, but those who are soldiers still listen to this set. The three armies are desperate to kill the enemy, and they are unstoppable.

Liu Ting constantly transferred troops and sent generals, and quietly brought the Ming army to the upper hand in the battle. Seeing that the plan succeeded, Liu Ting suddenly ordered arson. The fire was raging, and the Banshu army swept away, and the Banshu army had to avoid the cave to prevent fire.

But he didn't want Liu Ting to cover up the army, so he piled firewood at the entrance of the cave and continued to burn, although the fire could not spread to the cave, but the smoke was billowing out, but it was pervasive. In fact, there is another vent in the cave, but the vent is too small, there is no time to disperse the smoke, from a distance, the vent on the three mountains is like three big chimneys, and the Banzhou army was blocked in the cave and smoked to death countless times.

The three caves of Nanmu, Goat, and Jiantai were conquered in one fell swoop, but it took a lot of effort to extinguish the fire, and many precious timbers that had grown for thousands of years were burned. Many corpses were moved out of the cave, Mu Zhao, who fled here, finally had no choice but to continue to escape, he was dragged out of the cave, because of the proximity to the vent, he was not dead, just a little ghost with a smoked face, and the local guard Wu Shanghua also fainted.

Yang Yinglong couldn't help but be shocked when he got the news that Dingshan and Nanmu had lost one after another, Loushan Pass was the gate of Banzhou, and once the hole was opened, the general trend would go.

Yang Yinglong did not want to rely on the danger to fight the enemy in Loushan Pass, and the soldiers consumed the confidence of the imperial court, Yang Yinglong wanted to resist the enemy, so he immediately ordered his son Yang Chaodong, Yang Weidong and his brother Yang Zhu to attack Liu Ting from Songkan, Yudu, and Luoguchi respectively.

At the same time, he sat in Hailongtun, dispatched troops, and faced other soldiers and horses, and was overstretched for a while, unable to cope, at this time he regretted it, and felt that what the military division said at the beginning was true, and he should not shrink his troops, but should take the initiative to attack, but it was too late to wake up at this time.

Jin Yiwei has been operating in Qiandi for many years, and they only do some things like stealing chickens and dogs, and their dark lines play an important role at this time. Yang Chaodong, Yang Weidong and Yang Zhu each led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and set out on a mighty expedition, how could this be hidden from their eyes.

Jin Yiwei's news was quickly transmitted to Liu Ting's desk, because of the special relationship between Ye Xiaotian and Luo Daheng, Hong Baichuan looked at him differently, so he also got the information as soon as possible. Ye Xiaotian received the information and immediately went to see Liu Ting.

There were many generals in Liu Ting's tent, I didn't know what they were discussing, as soon as they saw Ye Xiaotian coming in, Liu Ting nodded and smiled at him, motioning for him to sit down and participate in the discussion, and Ye Xiaotian sat down on the bench next to him.

Among these generals, Ye Xiaotian has the lowest position, but in terms of strength, he is second only to Liu Ting, the chief military officer, so everyone knows him. Everyone also knows that he has a good relationship with General Liu, and this pioneer officer, although he has a great responsibility, is not giving credit to him, so he thinks a little more highly of him.

Liu Ting continued the previous topic and said: "Our army is now winning consecutive battles, and its morale is like a rainbow. However, Yang Yinglong had deceived the enemy several times before, using the method of luring the enemy to go deeper, and then used his familiarity with the terrain to outflank the ambush, turning defeat into victory, and had to be guarded against! ”

When Ye Xiaotian heard this, he thought that Liu Ting had doubts because of the successive victories, for fear of repeating the mistakes of the previous defeated generals, and he didn't know the news that Yang Yinglong was dividing his troops to attack, so he coughed and said: "My lord, the last general just got the news that Yang Yinglong's troops were divided into three routes, from Songkan, Yudu, and Luoguchi to outflank our army......

Liu Ting said with a smile: "This official already knows about this!" ”

Liu Ting scratched it on the sand table with his hand, and there were various small flags on it, black on behalf of Yang Yinglong, red, orange, yellow and green colors on behalf of the other seven road armies, and the color of Liu Ting's flag on this road was red.

Liu Ting said: "You see, the progress of the soldiers and horses from all walks of life is not going well, especially the soldiers and horses of the two roads in Guizhou, which are blocked by the south bank of the Wujiang River and cannot advance an inch!" In the Eighth Route Army, only I Qijiang Road all the way, long drive straight in, and then go further to Shihu Pass, as long as the Shihu Pass is broken, it is Yang Yinglong's gateway to the place: Loushan Pass! And at this time......"

Liu Ting stood up, took out three black flags from the flag box on one side, and planted them in Songkan, Yudu, and Luoguchi respectively, and said: "Yang Chaodong out of Songkan, Yang Weidong out of Yudu, Yang Zhu out of Luoguchi, looking at the overall situation, does it look like another lure of the enemy to go deep and outflank the ambush?" ”

Ye Xiaotian and the other generals looked at the sand table, even a half-tone general like Ye Xiaotian, according to Liu Ting's prompts, saw the hidden killing intentions of the invading enemy, and couldn't help but gasp.
