Wei's father and son were not as fast as Li Chongwei expected, because they were carrying more baggage, and they were moving much slower than expected.

At this time, when he walked to the east of Huifeng Pass, Wei Chengxuan, who was in charge of the rear, heard a report from the guards that a soldier had left the team and tried to escape.

Wei Chengxuan couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, his father had always been a combination of grace and power, and the Huaiyuan army led by him had a brilliant record, everyone was arrogant, and there was no such thing as running away from the battle.

After some interrogation, he found that this deserter actually had a small military merit, and he carried a small flag a year ago, preparing to carry the general flag after this battle against Tulun. What's even more ridiculous is that this person has always been upright, neither humble nor arrogant, and there is no cringe at all.

"Lou Aduan, then you can say it yourself, why did you escape?" Wei Chengxuan was suspicious, so he planned to let him explain the reason for his escape.

"The villain is not going to be a deserter, but my wife and children are in the village in front of the mountain at this time. Since he followed the marshal to fight in Western Xinjiang, he hasn't gone home for six years, and he really misses it in his heart. Today I want to go back to Fengao, and the villain sees the big and young marshal again——"

He paused for a moment, looked around at the baggage cart and large objects at the rear of the team, and continued, "The villain must have ambushes in the wind pass, and this trip will be nine deaths, so he will dare to go home to say goodbye to my mother, and then look at my brother, he will call his father ...... when he leaves."

The seven-foot-tall man couldn't help but choke up when he said this.

Two years ago, a letter came from the family, and the young lady died of coughing before waiting for her husband's reunion, and she was busy with the war and did not remarry.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel sad, and after thinking about it for a long time, I had a plan in my heart, waved my hand and shouted to Lou Aduan, and gave him some advice. After speaking, he took an object from his neck and handed it to Lou Aduan, leaned over from the horse and patted him on the shoulder and said: "This is a token, you will be assigned to me when the matter is done, and be a guard with me!" ”

Because of the strong winds, the starry sky was cloudless that night, and after the unitary hour, there was a bow-shaped crescent moon hanging on the western sky, which was not completely stained with ink.

Although both sides knew that there would be ambushes in Huifeng Pass, whether it was the Li Chongwei Department that had been in ambush for a long time, or the Wei Jinglin Department that was about to enter Huifeng Pass, they did not raise fire and illuminate it, and only identified the target by the meager moonlight.

The powerful henchmen who were waiting in the Huifeng Pass had been muttering, such a major event as rushing to the aid of the king was imminent, how could Wei Jinglin's father and son march so slowly.

It was estimated that more than two hours had passed before he heard the sound of a horse's hoofs approaching in the distance.

Turning his head to look at the rolling stone and wood prepared in advance on the cliff, he faintly smelled the smell of fire oil in the soldier's quiver at the end of his nose - first down the rolling wood and stones, then the fire oil ignited the sackcloth and shot it with arrows, and finally went down the mountain to fight with five times the force.

The troops who had reached the pass suddenly stopped, and then the whole team split into several sections, passing through the valley of the return pass in batches - this was a good way to deal with the ambush and reduce casualties.

Seeing that the team was divided, it was difficult to find an opportunity to concentrate on the attack and was observing, and only the sound of heavy carriages and horses could be heard, and a small group of heavy wagons entered the valley first. When I looked at it again, I almost dropped my jaw in shock, this large weight was a series of siege ladders, and each group followed two ladders into the valley, and the soldiers and horses were covered by the wide ladders, which could withstand most of the sandalwood rolling stones.

Seeing that the team entered the valley one after another, and the leaders were about to leave the valley, the people at the top of the mountain heard an order, and pushed the rolling stones into the bottom of the mountain in unison.

In an instant, the ground shook, and the gray stone and sand wrapped in huge boulders rolled down from the mountain, and the formation under the mountain was chaotic for a moment, and then quickly gathered under the cloud ladder frame.

Due to the pressure and obstruction of the boulders, the tall ladders stopped one after another, but the soldiers at the foot of the mountain did not see how to panic, and the small part was hit by the rolling logs and was immediately dragged under the ladder frame by their colleagues.

Because of this sudden defense, the attack on the mountain fell into a suffocating silence when the rolling stones and other materials were exhausted.

But moments later, arrows wrapped in burning oil linen rained down from the top of the cliff, and a second round of more brutal slaughter began.

Although Wei Jinglin ordered all the sergeants to soak their bodies with ice water in the stream near the entrance pass, and the unarmored light cavalry wrapped their bodies in soaked quilts, doing all the defenses that could be done, but after experiencing the rolling wood and stones that shook the mountains and the ground, they were immediately under the attack of dense fire arrows like locusts, and the dead grass of the mountains was mostly ignited, and the fierce mountain fires were carried by the wind and made a whistling sound, as if the ghosts were crying, and at the bottom of the narrow valley, the safe area where people could stand was gradually surrounded by the mountain fires, which shrank more and more, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

In order to boost morale, and in order to strive for a group of living forces to quickly pass through the Huifeng Pass ambush point, Wei Jinglin ordered the elite guards to quickly break forward with light horses and tear a bloody path forward.

Seeing that the opponent was like this, the fierce and powerful troops on the mountain knew that the time had come for the general attack, and with a long roar, the fiercest battle of the night was announced.

Li Chongwei clearly knew the difficulty of killing Wei's father and son and ambushing his Huaiyuan's elite, and he also knew that forcing Wei's to rush to the aid of Huifeng Pass this time was the only chance.

Therefore, with the help of the natural danger ambush, the wood rolling stones, the fire arrow array, each blow can be fatal, so that the opponent is killed, and after the killing move of the opponent is sacrificed, five times the force is also prepared to go down the mountain to fight to clean up the remnants, and it is bound to annihilate all the Wei troops here.

The people on the top of the mountain bypassed the mountain fire and continued to pour in from the direction of the exit of the Huifeng Pass, shouting and killing loudly, and the leading general shouted even more arrogantly: "The governor said, take the head of Wei Jinglin and reward 10,000 taels of gold!" Wealth and glory are ahead, and rush with me! ”

Wei Chengxuan, who was far behind the awkward guard, drew his bow with his arm, and the sharp arrow broke out of the wind, and the shouting general was hit in the left chest on the spot and fell off the horse.

Without a moment's rest, he fired several arrows in succession and hit a number of heavily armored soldiers, all of which pierced the face door, and the death was terrifying. Drove the horses forward, galloped to Wei Jinglin's side, and proudly stood in front of the troops to face the enemy.

The two swung their swords and smashed into the enemy formation, Wei Jinglin was lucky, laughed wildly and shouted: "Wei Jinglin is here!" Wait for the rebel thief, and come to die! ”

Wei Chengxuan shouted in a deep voice: "Huaiyuan soldiers, and kill the thieves with me!" ”

The commander and the guards rushed forward, and the sergeants in the rear were greatly encouraged and charged forward in waves.

Because they rushed to help, the soldiers of the Ministry of Health did not eat after they set off. After a long-distance march with baggage, all the staff entered the col with wet armor, and their whole bodies were frozen in the middle of the night in northern Xinjiang, and they were all supported by willpower.

After experiencing the rolling stones and fire arrows, the strength of the mountain fire was almost gone.

After the battle lasted for two hours, there were not many soldiers left in Wei Jinglin's division with combat strength, and the opponent's offensive was still continuing, and the newly replenished generals had upgraded the reward to 100,000 taels of gold.

Therefore, even if the combat strength is far inferior to the Huaiyuan army under the Wei family, the number and energy of the two sides are very different, and the defeat of the Wei department is gradually revealed.

Wei Jinglin knew that if he continued, not only would he be wiped out by the whole army, but he would have no hope of rushing to the aid of the king.

With a plan in his heart, he called Wei Chengxuan and ordered: "I will lead my troops to contain their main force, and my son will lead the forward battalion to break through to the pass, and quickly gallop to the aid of the king!" ”

Wei Chengxuan immediately surrendered his order, and led a team of forwards to gallop into the enemy formation again.

I only heard the guard behind him Jinglin shouting loudly again: "The body surnamed Wei is here, if you want 100,000 gold, come and try it!" ”

After saying that, he saw the enemy troops surging around him, only following the sound of people to rush past.

Seeing that the encirclement was gradually loosening, Wei Chengxuan lost no time in taking the lead in slashing at the enemy's weak point, and the rear team also followed one after another.

After several slashing and slashing, he had advanced for several miles, and when the group was about to gallop through the pass, Wei Chengxuan looked back at his father, only to see that he had been stabbed to death by the war horse under his seat, and he had to dismount and fight the enemy hand-to-hand.

One of them fended off the onslaught with a spear, his uncovered knees covered in scars, and the hem of his robe was glued to his legs with blood. The silver armor on his body had been reflected red in the firelight, and the beast heads on his shoulders were full of blood dripping downward, I don't know if it was his own or the enemy's.

He mourned in his heart, and even stopped breathing for a few beats, instinctively wanting to rush back to the formation to help.

The soldiers behind him also had this thought, and one of them roared sadly and indignantly: "Young marshal-", Wei Chengxuan turned around at this time and ordered in a deep voice: "The marshal has an order, we need to quickly support the left wing of the king's department, go quickly!" ”

After saying that, he gritted his teeth and beat the horse forward, and all the soldiers obeyed the order and followed him silently.

No one noticed the droplets of water that slid from the corners of the eyes of the young general at the head of the team, slid from the resolute and stoic cheeks, suddenly sank to the ground, and finally merged with the blood of the comrades who flowed out of the pass, and melted into the most tragic and tragic elegy of Dachen's northern Xinjiang.
