The autumn grass is withered and yellow, and the north wind is howling.

On October 21 of the twelfth year of Youqing, the Qiang people dispatched 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Changping Pass.

Thirty miles outside the pass, a large area of mountainous land became the main battlefield of the fierce battle between the Huyou army and the Qiang people.

After a day of fierce fighting between the two armies, the two armies retreated in an orderly manner to the north and south hills outside the main battlefield.

On the hill north of the main battlefield is the red-clad Huyou Army, the soldiers regrouped into two infantry and cavalry formations, neatly and solemnly arranged under the banner of the word "You", Xue Yao wore a general's helmet, dressed in fine iron cast armor, and the silk red cloak was draped on the body neatly and flatly.

Majestic and magnificent!

It's just that his cheeks are broken and his hair is lightly raised, his resolute face is stained with a lot of dust and blood droplets, and the tip of the spear in his hand is still vaguely lying with bloodstains, and he can't tell whether it is the enemy's or his own.

"General, after counting, in today's battle, our army suffered less than 20,000 casualties and beheaded more than 40,000 enemy troops!" Deputy General Xu Xun stepped forward to report, "The Qiang people definitely didn't expect it, we will intercept them here!" ”

He Kui wiped his face and laughed: "Happy! Finally, we will annihilate them all in a war tomorrow. ”

Xue Yao looked around at the passionate soldiers: "Pass the order, the army will bury the pot and cook, rest in place, and don't slack off!" ”

The generals ordered to go down, and Xue Yao walked to a high ground and looked against the wind at the hill to the south.

The mountains to the south were dark, and the Qiang people in black armor were also neatly and solemnly lined up under the banner of the Qiang State, looking angrily at the Huyou army on the north mountain.

The Qiang leader was named Wuyi, and his eyes were split, and he glared angrily at a Yan man under him, and shouted: "Didn't you say that there are your people in Changping Pass? Why is there a Tiger Suke Army here? ”

The Yan said: "I don't know about this, there is more than this road in and out of Xiangcheng, who would have thought that the Huyou Army happened to be ambushed on the way through Changping Pass?" ”

Wu Yi said coldly: "In my opinion, either you deliberately provided false information, or your people have rebelled!" See that I don't cut off your heads, and bury my 40,000 dead soldiers! ”

He raised his knife to cut off the head of the Yan man, but was stopped by a subordinate: "General can't, the Yan country has an alliance with my Qiang tribe, we should work together to fight Youcai, kill the Yan envoy today, the king of Yan will be furious." ”

Hearing this, Fang put down his long knife: "Then military advisor, what should you do now?" ”

"There is an old saying in Dayou called 'soldiers come to block the water and cover the earth', since we have met the Tiger You Army here, then boost morale and fight!"

Wu Yi sneered: "Fight with one, you said it lightly!" In today's battle, our army suffered nearly 50,000 casualties, but the Huyou army only suffered less than 20,000 casualties. ”

"Don't worry, general, the Tiger You Army was defeated under our men in Xinxiang, and this time it is the same. I watched the soldiers and horses of the Huyou army here, there were less than 50,000, and I thought that the large army was still in Changping Pass, and did not come out! Please ask the general to immediately ask the king to mobilize the 100,000 soldiers of Xinxiang, and when the help arrives tomorrow evening, the Huyou army will be defeated. ”

Although Wuyi was unwilling, he had to admit that compared with the Huyou army, his army was indeed weaker, and in the first battle of Xinxiang, his 300,000 army fought against 200,000 Huyou army, and a large number of soldiers in the Huyou army were unwell, and he also beheaded his own 150,000 soldiers.

That battle was fought extremely fiercely and won extremely hard!

This sea of blood is deep, and if he doesn't get it back, he has no shame to face the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died!

"Jiang Qi, you take a hundred elite soldiers back to Xinxiang to transfer troops! If you don't come back tomorrow, I'll cut off your head! Wuyi's eyes widened and he commanded sharply.

The man called Jiang Qi made a loud voice and turned on his horse: "General Wuyi, don't worry, before tomorrow, I will definitely lead the army to come!" ”

When night came, fires gradually lit up on the hills on both sides.

Over the years, the land of Dayu has witnessed thousands of wars, and the blood of thousands of soldiers has flowed, and there are still etiquettes to talk about when the two armies fought a hundred years ago, and they paid attention to a dignified and upright face-to-head duel, and no one would take advantage of the darkness to sneak attack each other's camps.

However, in recent years, the etiquette has collapsed, and the petty people cannot be guarded against, and the two armies not only fight for the courage on the battlefield, but also fight for the strategy under the battlefield.

Therefore, even though the night was already dark, the patrols on the hills on both sides still sounded footsteps, and the two armies were still tall with military lights, bonfires, and a tight guard.

Who can guarantee that the enemy will not surprise while the army is asleep?

The sun is rising, and the autumn frost is shining.

After the Huyou army buried the pot and cooked a full meal in the morning, the remaining 30,000 iron cavalry came out of the camp and prepared to charge the Qiang people.

Xue Yao knew very well that the Qiang people were defeated yesterday, and they must have sent people to transfer troops at this moment, and if the other party's rescue troops arrived, it would be even more difficult to prevent the Qiang people from entering Changping Pass.

Today, we must capture the Qiang people alive and lead the generals!

With the sound of the long and poignant horn, the red iron horse poured into the southern mountains like a tide, Xue Yao led three thousand elite soldiers, and rushed into the hinterland of the Qiang people first, he had a spear in his hand, and he killed dozens of Qiang soldiers in an instant.

The Qiang people were thirsty for killing, but at this time, they were shocked by Xue Yao's murderous aura, and hundreds of Qiang people surrounded Xue Yao in the center, staring at Xue Yao on horseback one by one, but no one dared to take the lead.

Outside the main battlefield, seeing Xue Yao trapped, but brave and extraordinary, he spontaneously admired in his heart: In the face of thousands of troops without the slightest fear, he is really a great husband!

He pulled up the bow and arrow in his hand: It's a pity that this fierce general is not my Qiang.

The acumen cultivated by years of battle made Xue Yao excited, he shouted, patted his horse and galloped, spears flying, cold light flashing, struggling to kill the encirclement of the Qiang people, and galloped away in the direction where Wuyi was.

Wu Yi was shocked, the arrow in his hand suddenly shot out, and was dodged by Xue Yao, he quickly drew a few, "whoosh" continued to shoot out, but they were avoided by Xue Yao one by one, the war horse under Xue Yao ran quickly, and the distance between the two was getting closer and closer......

Wuyi looked at Xue Yao's increasingly clear bloodstained face, threw away his bow and arrows, picked up the long knife, and greeted him!

"Come on, let Ben see what you're capable of!"

Xue Yao smiled contemptuously, opened the long knife cut by Wuyi, went around to Wuyi's back, held the spear tightly in his right hand, and stabbed at the war horse under Wuyi's crotch.

Xue Yao beat his horse and galloped wildly, Wuyi was pulled off the horse, and was galloped all the way by Xue Yao's war horse on the bumpy mountain.

The soldiers of the Huyou Army shouted loudly: "The Qiang people will be captured alive!" Wu Yi was captured alive! ”

Suddenly, the morale of the Huyou army was greatly boosted, and the Qiang people fled in embarrassment, and the deputy general Xu Xun led thousands of elite soldiers to chase the Qiang people south for four or five miles, and then returned to the camp.

In less than three hours after this battle, the Huyou army withdrew its troops, and as the winning side, the Huyou army needed to clean up the battlefield and clean up the soldiers who died in the battle.

At this time, a red sun hung in the west, shining on this corpse-strewn mountain, cold and bleak.

Although the Qiang people were defeated, there were less than 20,000 of the 50,000 Huyou army left, and the Qiang people had a steady stream of reinforcements.

Wu Yi is the uncle of Jiang Partridge, the leader of the Qiang State, and he is very important in the Qiang State, and now he is captured by the Hu You army, and the Qiang State will do his best to save Wu Yi back!

Xue Yao looked at the wide battlefield, his face was solemn, and he waved his hand to order Hekui.

"Gather the troops, go back to Changping Pass!"
