The ground, with a slight crisscrossing of streams, is flanked by almost vertical cliffs. This is a valley formed by an ancient giant river, which has been dry for many years.

The 600,000-strong expeditionary force crossed the plateau in two months, and when it came here, it lost 100,000 troops.

The clothes were in tatters, but if it weren't for the armor and weapons, they would still be shiny. I'm afraid it's not an army, but a team of refugees on the move.

The Sabbaths are very tired.

In the remains of the river valley, most of them are yellow sand and a little green space.

"Report ......, Emperor Hongwu's army still has a day and a half to ......."

Silvanai was stationed in a green field, "and ordered the army to rest and look for food as much as possible...... ”

"Marshal, the Qin army only has a day and a half to go!" Tidosasin said nervously.

Sirwangai signaled that it was okay, "If the soldiers recharge their energy and block this valley, they will be able to stop the Qin army." ”

This was a very good idea, and the rest of the expeditionary force began to rest.

The Sabbatarians no longer have a uniform reserve of food, and the soldiers are all on their own to survive. Fortunately, after walking out of the plateau and leaving the main force of the Qin army behind, as long as they passed through this river valley, the people of Anxi could burn and loot all the way back.

People boiled and horses neighed, camels crowed, and rested people scattered in the valley. In a few moments, the tattered tents with holes covered the valley floor, and wisps of cooking smoke rose. Scolding, sighing, and arguing followed.

On the cliffs on both sides of the river valley, far away, several Qin army scouts appeared. They looked at the chaotic and noisy rest camp and sneered. Turn the horse's head. It is divided into three directions: northwest, southwest and east.

The Qin army scouts in the northwest rode their horses to the end of the river valley. In the distance was a large and rigorous military camp. This barracks has a tall barracks. The northwest exit is completely blocked.

"Here comes the Sabbath, here comes the Sabbath!" The scouts shouted all the way and galloped into the camp.

In the camp, all kinds of flags fluttered, and the most eye-catching was the bright red flag with the word "revenge".

The soldiers who heard the news clasped their fists and sleeves one by one, and rushed to the crown in anger.

"Report ......, General. Here comes the Sabbath! The scouts rushed into the horde.

Gao Shun, who sat upright, stood up, and looked fierce, "The rest man is finally here...... ”

Old Huang Zhong, who started his work, had a gray beard like a halberd, "It's finally here." ”

At the southwest exit of the river valley, there is also a huge camp, which completely blocks the exit. Guarding here is Zhang He, the general of the Qin Army's Jianye Military Region. He led his army to leap thousands of miles to here, just to destroy the expeditionary force of rest.

There are three passages in the valley, and there are two exits if the direction in which the Sabbatarians came is counted as the entrance. There are 300,000 soldiers and horses of Gao Shun and Huang Zhong at the northwest exit. There are 150,000 people of Zhang He at the southwest exit.

Rest in the barracks at night.

Outside the big tent, there are special cooks. A fawn is being cooked. And inside the tent, the rest of Field Marshal Shirwanai with his generals. There are talking and laughing, and they are preparing to enjoy a rare and hearty meal. The journey was quite smooth. They regained their confidence.

"Report ......!" At this moment, a resting horse crawled into the tent.

Everyone was frightened, and all of them stood up.

"Dashuai, something is wrong! The Qin army camp was found at the exit of the river valley! ”

"What!" The faces of the Sabbath generals turned white, and the confidence they had just regained was gone.

"Report ......." At this time, a grizzled Tanma ran in, "Dashuai, something is wrong!" The Qin army camp was found at the exit of the river valley! ”

Subsequently, several more scouts entered the account. Marshal Sirwangai also knew that there were two exits to this Kunduz Valley, all of which were now blocked by the Qin army.

"Besieged!" The pale faces of the rest will be green with a smack.

The cook walked in with a large plate of roast meat, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he hurriedly withdrew.

The aroma permeated the tent, but the people who had been hungry for a day did not have a trace of appetite. The generals of the Rest Empire were already stunned by the news. Today's shape shì, three-year-old children can analyze and come to conclusions.

Tidosasin exclaimed, "Retreat, Commander, for if not, you will be surrounded in this valley." ”

Sirwanai's face changed several times, "Retreat? Where to retreat? ”

"Plateau!"

"Plateau?" Silvan Ai sneered, "Emperor Hongwu's army of 600,000 is there. If our army retreats, the Qin army at Taniguchi will advance. And our army climbed the plateau again, and the army of Emperor Hongwu occupied the terrain, rushed down and attacked ...... on both sides. ”

The generals' faces changed again.

Maliksha exclaimed: "There is an interception in front, and there are pursuers in the back. We are surrounded by this valley, we can't go in, we can't go back! ”

"Dashuai, what should I do!"

Sirwangai was very calm, "You can build a wall, stick to the camp and not take the initiative to attack, and wait for the Qin army to take the initiative to fight." So as to wait for the ...... work, when the Qin army is tired, it is the time for us to break out of the encirclement. Come on, serve the food. ”

Everyone clearly saw that his hand holding the knife and fork was trembling, but they smiled and said, "Everyone eat, eat ......." ”

So, the generals of the empire, one by one, ate. The sharp table knife in his hand turned out to be difficult to cut through the barbecue, and from time to time there was the sound of plates colliding.

A day later, at dusk hour.

The army led by Qin Feng, the Emperor of Hongwu, came to the entrance of the river valley.

"Your Majesty, the Sabbatarians have built a barracks ......." When Pang Tong walked into the imperial tent, Jia Xu and Guo Jia were already here.

Jia Xu pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it seems that the people of Anxiu plan to resist stubbornly and hold on to the ......." ”

Qin Feng nodded slightly, "The enemy has been surrounded by our army in the river valley, and tomorrow we will contact Gao Shun, Huang Zhong, and Zhang He to attack in three directions." ”

"No!" Guo Jia admonished: "Although the enemy is surrounded, there are many people, and they have built a barracks. If our army forcibly attacks, I am afraid that there will be great losses, so it is better for our army to build a camp and hold on. Within a month, the enemy ran out of food and grass, and was defeated without a fight. ”

Qin Feng felt that what Guo Jia said made sense, so. He issued an edict, and the three armies were strictly garrisoned. Sit back and wait for the moment when the enemy runs out of food. At the same time, as a garrison party. If the enemy forcibly breaks through, he can also use the barracks to mass-inflict damage on the enemy's living forces.

There were many people in peace, and it took only two days to dig up the earth and build a wall. The rectangular earthen wall is six zhang high and four zhang wide, and the cliffs on both sides are connected to the north and south. And, it's still getting taller and thicker. The two walls connected the cliffs, and the resting army in the middle was very safe.

this day. After inspecting the results of the wall, Silvan Ai breathed a sigh of relief, and he stood on the eastern wall, looking into the distance, "Although the enemy has twice the strength of our army, we have a tall wall, and we will definitely be able to hold back the enemy's attack. ”

The three-mile city wall looks very majestic, and the rest of the soldiers are also relieved. Now, they can't wait for the Qin army to take the initiative to attack.

But it's been two days. There was no movement either.

In the distance to the east, a horse came from the dust. To the west, a horse galloped through the camp. The exploration horses from the east and west brought new news to Sirwangai.

"What!" He was taken aback. "The enemy at the exit is not moving! The main force of the Qin army at the entrance actually began to build a barracks? ”

"It's not good, Emperor Hongwu intends to besiege us! Let's go, let's see! ”

Sirvanai with an elite team of camel soldiers of a thousand men. Go to the field to see the military camp of Emperor Hongwu. When he was able to see the Qin military camp, he was stunned. I saw that the camp in the distance was shrouded in dust. A wall can be faintly visible, only on the scale of the resting wall.

The scouts of the three-mounted Qin army appeared. One turned his horse away, and the other two remained, just a stone's throw away, watching Sirwanai.

Sirwangai also stopped to observe the wall built by the Qin army.

At this time, the voice of Qin Jun's slogan came, "Brothers, work hard, hey, hey!" ”

"Build that wall, trap the enemy......."

"Kill them, hey!"

There was a translator and translation, and the faces of Sirwangai and the others changed greatly, and they said in their hearts that these Qin troops were too shameless, and the words were so clear that they wanted to consume themselves.

The slogans of the Qin army were all shouted, and the determination to besiege was self-evident.

At this time, the gate of the Qin army camp opened, and a cavalry came out.

"Dashuai!" The rest of the congregation will be amazed.

"Retreat!" Silvan Ai's face changed, he didn't dare to fight in front of the Qin military camp, he grabbed the camel's belly, turned around and left.

The large army of the Qin army could not catch up, however, the two Qin army scouts who were always a stone's throw away did not do it. It was just two people, and they chased after them.

Woooo The two chased after Sirwanai and shot fiercely.

"Wow!"

"Ahh

Although there are only two bows and arrows, they also keep taking away the lives of the resting people.

It seems to be just two people, chasing a team of thousands. Silvan Ai was furious, and said that when he turned around and killed the two Qin army scouts, he saw the dust raised by the large army of the Qin army in the distance. Xin said that as soon as I stopped here, I would be caught up by the Qin army.

Therefore, although Silvan Ai was aggrieved by the two Qin army scouts, he could only run away as much as he could.

The two Qin army scouts chased all the way to the rest camp, and they actually killed more than 50 people, more than 20 of each person. After a lifetime of fighting, you may not be able to kill so many people, but this battle is so great that a silver medal for bravery can't run. The two could hardly believe that this was true, and they secretly shouted for the blessing of their ancestors, and the grave smoked from the grave.

When a large number of enemies rushed out of the rest camp, the two turned and left. The large army that greeted them had already collected the heads that had been killed by the two of them. So they raised their toes, and the two of them returned.

The ancestral grave of the family smoked and was handed over, while Sirwangai was smoked.

"The handsome man was actually chased back by two people!"

"Two of us, a thousand!"

"What a coward!" The rest of the soldiers were hotly discussed, and their morale was low.

Silvan Ai returned to his tent very angrily, and after this outing, he also saw that Emperor Hongwu wanted to consume his strategic deployment. The army has run out of food and grass supplies, and it will not last long. The longer the time drags on, the more it is not good for him.

Silvan Ai made a decision, he spoke sharply, slapped the table, and said angrily: "Tomorrow, mobilize a large army and attack the southwest exit." The Qin army there was the least numerous. You have to give it your all, give it your all! ”

"Yes!" The generals of the empire also know that the current predicament is already on the line of life and death. So, they brace themselves and go out in all directions, mobilizing their troops and horses to prepare for battle. (To be continued......)
