Mu Beituo knew that the reason why he was able to return to the land of Dayan again in such a beautiful way was completely stained with the light of the Xiyi people, and that day he offered a plan to the king of Xiyi, proposing that the troops be divided into two roads, all the way to Xilin Pass, all the way to Cui County, and then the inside and outside should be combined to capture Xilin Pass and Xicui Pass.

However, the plan can't catch up with the change, and now he is still in Cui County, but Xiyi was defeated first, and the whole army was annihilated, the king of Xiyi committed suicide, and the king of Wuyun was captured, and Xiyi is probably not far from the day of the death of the country.

His entire backstage has collapsed, and there are only less than 10,000 people in his hands, and it is difficult to save his life, what else can he do?

Mu Beituo looked up at the sky, both resentful and helpless, God, God, why do you not treat me like this, standing on Mu Liancheng's side every time? So unfair?

At this time, hurried footsteps came, and the soldier whispered: "General, according to the report from the spies in the city, the people guarding the city camp have the intention of abandoning the city and fleeing to Xicuiguan. ”

"Really?" Mu Beituo's eyes suddenly lit up, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

The soldier bowed his head and said: "The spies heard with their own ears what the soldiers defending the city said, they suffered heavy casualties, and they could no longer withstand the second attack of the Xiyi army, so they could only abandon the city." ”

After thinking for a moment, Mu Beituo hooked his lips and smiled, "Okay, it's really good." "If the Yan army really abandons the city and flees, not only can he capture the city without much effort, but he can also take advantage of the situation to pursue and sweep all the nets, so that they will never reach Xicui Pass.

When he marches into Cui County and captures the people of the city, he will have the bargaining chips to negotiate terms with Mu Liancheng.

So, Mu Beituo ordered people to squat at the gates of each city, and once they found that the city guards were out of the city, they would come to report.

In the middle of the night, the cold wind was howling outside, the wind and sand swept the ground, the lights in the account were swaying, and the silence was very, Mu Beituo was pacing back and forth in front of the handsome case with his hands behind his back, and the two sword eyebrows were twisted into one, and his expression was quite solemn.

It's almost midnight, why is there no movement outside? Could it be that the spy message is wrong? Or did Yan Jun change his mind again and didn't plan to abandon the city?

After waiting for nearly a cup of tea, the high-pitched voice of the soldier sounded outside: "Report! General Yu, the Yan army quietly came out of the north city gate and headed for Xicui Pass. ”

Mu Beituo's spirits perked up, and he immediately ordered: "Pass the order, the three armies will be dispatched to pursue the Yan army!" ”

There are four paths of different lengths from Cuixian to Xicuiguan, but since the Yan army is fleeing, they must choose the nearest one, that is, the Yourong Road that directly connects to the north city gate.

Mu Beituo only left 1,000 people to stay in the camp, and led thousands of men and horses to run out overnight and go to Yourong Road.

Since most of the Xiyi army were cavalry, they were better at running than the general Yan army, and it only took more than two hours to catch up with the rear army of the Yan army.

"Run! The enemy army is coming! Come on! ”

The Yan army shouted and ran forward, the flags and quartermasters were thrown to the ground, the formation was all chaotic, and the running seemed to be a plate of loose sand, which made the Xiyi army frightened at a glance, and they couldn't care about anything except fleeing for their lives.

Mu Beituo was naturally overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly ordered the three armies to follow.

"The Yan army is at the end of the crossbow, vulnerable to a single blow, all the soldiers listened to the order, pursued with all their might, and wiped it out! Wait for a big victory tonight, and enter Cui County tomorrow for a reward! ”

The Xiyi army was greatly encouraged, as if they had drunk chicken blood, their eyes were red with murderous aura, they held their weapons, and charged forward with horses.

The Yan army has been running in front, and seeing that the Xiyi army is about to catch up, all of them are scattered, and they all run to the hills on both sides of the mountain road, each looking for a place to hide in the night.

It seems chaotic, but in fact, it has its own set of rules.

It's a pity that the Xiyi soldiers who caught up after did not find it, they just brandished their swords, blindly rushed forward, violent, murderous, and extremely brave, but no matter how brave an army is, once it jumps into the enemy's ambush circle, it will be crushed.

After chasing for a long time, under the hazy moonlight, the Xiyi army found that there was no trace of the Yan army in front, the road became narrower and narrower, but the mountains on both sides were getting higher and higher, except for the whirring wind, there was no sound around, and it was surprisingly quiet.

Mu Beituo's life was cautious and suspicious, and it was the same in the use of soldiers, before he first frightened the bad news of Xiyi's defeat, and then let the joy get carried away, so he didn't think much about it, at this moment Le Ma stopped in the mountain road, looking at the vast night, he finally noticed that something was wrong.

Could it be that the Yan army pretended to flee and deliberately lured the Xiyi army here?

In any case, we can't move on, we have to retreat the way we came as soon as possible!

Wait a minute! What does it smell like?

Mu Beituo took off the headscarf covering his face, sniffed and sniffed, and couldn't help but be shocked.

"It's tung oil! Stop moving forward! Pass the order down, stop advancing! The three armies immediately turned around and retreated the way they came! ”

This order was given too quickly, the soldiers did not react at all, just when they were wondering, there was a sudden cry on both sides of the mountain road, and the arrows flew from the mountain in the dark night, and the Xiyi army fled in a panic, but the mountain road was too narrow, and there were no trees to block, so there was no way to avoid it.

Immediately afterwards, the firelight lit up, and the rain of arrows with fireballs pounced, shooting on the Xiyi soldiers, the war horses and the ground, and the ground had already been poured with tung oil, and as soon as it touched the fire, it burned at once, and the tongue of fire rose with the wind, spreading around, burning more and more, and the whole mountain road became a sea of fire purgatory.

The Xiyi army was cut off by the Yan army and the back road and the front road, trapped here, unable to run out again, this mountain is full of screams, more terrible than ghost crying and wolf howling.

A fire burned for several hours, from late night to early morning, until the sun climbed high up the hill and the wind stopped.

Thousands of people were almost all buried in this sea of fire, and the rest were barely holding on for a breath, Mu Beituo stood in the middle of the pile of corpses, and sat on the ground with a disgraced face, falling into despair.

He lost, he still lost, and he lost completely.

The Yan army surrounded both sides of the mountain road, and did not come down to kill them all, but just looked coldly at these Xiyi soldiers who were still breathing, thinking of the innocent people who were slaughtered by them, and still felt that they were not relieved enough.

Under the bright daylight, a petite purple figure walked out, she looked down at the tragic situation below with an expressionless face, a trace of unbearability flashed in her eyes, her gaze wandered, and after a while, she fixed on Mu Beituo.

Mu Beituo just looked up, and the moment his eyes met it, he was shocked and resentful, and he gritted his teeth and stood up.

"Feng is crazy? How are you? You're not dead? ”

"I disappointed the third prince, I'm still alive and well, not only that, but I also defeated you this time, how about it, you should be convinced now, right?"

"You ......" Mu Beituo really didn't believe it, he was coming, and he was still planted in the hands of this woman.

Feng smiled lightly, hooked his lips and said: "If you obediently tie your hands and go back to ask the emperor for guilt, this palace can consider interceding with the emperor and asking him to spare your life, if not, this is your burial place." ”

"Phew! Want me to beg you for mercy? Dream on! Mu Beituo scolded viciously, "Becoming a king and defeating a king, Lao Tzu accepts his fate today!" If you want to kill, you have to listen to it! ”

It's not that he is really not afraid of death, it's just that he knows very well that after falling into the hands of Mu Liancheng this time, there is no possibility of saving his life, Feng Qingyan just wants to humiliate him before killing him, rather than dying like a dog in the end, it is better to die here, and still retain some dignity.

In fact, Feng Qingfang really didn't plan to let go of Mu Beituo, after all, this person's city is too deep and too dangerous, letting him go is tantamount to returning to the mountain and leaving a disaster, this year, she has experienced too many things, and she has also learned a truth - she must be ruthless when she should be ruthless, otherwise she will be the one who will suffer in the end.

"Unexpectedly, the third prince still has a bit of backbone, okay, since you are bent on death, then this palace will fulfill you! Archer! ”

A row of archers stepped forward at the order, pointed down and pulled the bowstring, Feng turned his back wildly, only to hear the sound of a thud in his ears, and after a few screams, there was no sound.

She didn't look back, she had seen too much blood in the past few days, and she was inevitably a little uncomfortable physically and psychologically, so she ordered: "Dig a big pit and bury these corpses." ”

Then strode away.

Half of the Yan army stayed here to bury the Xiyi people, and half followed Feng Qingyan and others back to Cui County.

After finishing this important matter, Feng Qingma, who had not closed her eyes for a day and a night, finally couldn't hold it anymore, and went back to the post house to rest, and ordered no one to come in and disturb before going to bed, she wanted to sleep all at once.

I slept for ten hours, and when Feng woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

She washed herself up, called the kitchen to bring her a meal, and because of her good appetite, she ate a good meal, and after filling her stomach, she felt that she was alive again.

"Where's Qin Luo?"

The little maid replied, "Miss Qin went out half an hour ago, saying that she was going to do something. ”

Feng said "oh" frantically, didn't ask any more, waved his hand to let the subordinates retreat, and he walked in the yard to eat, and began to feel bored after scattering, and started to go out for a walk.

Unexpectedly, there was a slight sound of tiles on the roof, and she immediately turned her head to look, only to see a black shadow leaping down, and in the blink of an eye, it fell in front of her.

"Why are you here?" Feng Qing's eyes widened wildly, glared at the visitor angrily, and subconsciously stepped back.

"As soon as I entered the city, I heard the people praise the queen mother for defending the people, leading the troops to resist the enemy, winning more with less, and defeating the enemy's feat, I really admired it, and I couldn't help but come to see you." Jiang Mingche said as he slowly approached, with a light smile on his face as usual, "Frivolous, you are really not a thing in the pool, but a heroine among women, and women don't let you shave your eyebrows." ”

He boasted sincerely, his eyes were eager, and he was full of affection and admiration.

Feng Qingfang didn't want to listen to his words at all, it should be said that he didn't want to talk to him at all, so he opened his eyes and said coldly: "You should go." ”
