The mountains in this area are neither high nor low, even if there is no vegetation, it is enough to hide the ambush soldiers, the King of Dark Clouds is sitting on horseback, and he is faintly worried in his heart, if the Yan army is ambushed, this area is the best place.

At dusk that day, the army marched to the entrance of a valley, and the outpost came back to report to the king of Xiyi: "O king, there is nothing unusual in the valley. ”

King Xiyi asked solemnly, "Have you investigated everywhere?" Are you sure there are no anomalies? ”

"Yes, they have all been investigated, no, they can be stationed by the army."

The valley is surrounded by high mountains on all sides, and the wind and sand are blocked from the outside, which is suitable for camping, but after all, the valley is not spacious enough to accommodate 60,000 troops, and the front army, the rear army and part of the Chinese army have to set up tents outside the valley.

When he was about to give the order to enter the valley, the King of Dark Clouds urged the horse to rush over, grabbed the sleeve of the King of Xiyi, and dissuaded in a low voice: "Big brother, don't enter the valley, you see, the entrance to this valley is narrow, and the other entrances are the same, the whole is like a gourd, if something happens, how can the army retreat?" ”

"The outpost has already been explored, and it is very safe inside, what can happen?" King Xiyi felt that this younger brother kept nagging in his ears all the way, which was quite suspicious of shaking the morale of the army, and he was really annoyed, if it weren't for the fact that he was his own brother, he would have dragged him down to play the board a long time ago.

Jiang Tianba, who was on the side, listened to the conversation between the two, suddenly leaned over, and said with a sincere face: "Great King, I feel that the King of Dark Clouds has been in battle for a long time and has rich experience, and his intuition cannot be wrong, this valley is indeed not suitable for camping, or is it stationed outside the valley?" ”

King Xiyi was still hesitating, but after listening to Jiang Tianba's words at this time, an evil fire immediately rushed to his head, and he immediately made up his mind: "Needless to say, pass the order, and the Chinese army will enter the valley!" ”

"Big brother!" The King of the Clouds was still waiting to be persuaded, but the King of Xiyi had already galloped forward.

Jiang Tianba turned his head to look at the Dark Cloud King and smiled slightly: "Lord Wang, it seems that the king doesn't trust you very much, haven't your brothers always been very harmonious?" What has happened in the past few years? Is there such a big gap? ”

"You ......" The Cloud King glared at him with a pair of big eyes like copper bells, and he really regretted that he didn't kill this person with a knife that night, who said that a reckless man has no scheming? This Jiang Tianba is a living exception!

"Jiang Tianba, you'd better pray that my Xiyi army is okay, otherwise I will definitely break you into pieces!"

Jiang Tianba sneered, didn't care, straightened his waist and clamped the horse's belly, and followed the army to beat the horse and gallop into the valley.

There was no way, and the Cloud King had no choice but to follow.

The valley is very large, under the twilight, on one side of the mountain it is almost impossible to see the other side, some of the sergeants camped, some buried pots to cook, some patrolled around, very busy, only Jiang Tianba had nothing to do, only one person sat by the fire in a daze.

It was getting dark, and after dinner, the king of Xiyi gathered all the generals of the camps to discuss the route of tomorrow's march and the plan of attack after arriving at Xilin Pass.

In two days, it should be possible to arrive at Xilin Pass, all the generals are excited and excited, when they go out of the military tent, they are all gearing up, eager to try, eager to immediately plug in their wings and fly to Xilin Pass, and fight to the death with the Yan army.

Jiang Tianba sat in the distance, looking at them motionlessly, with a slight smile on his lips.

The Cloud King was the last to come out, and as if he had noticed his gaze, he also looked at him from a distance, and after taking a few steps, he walked straight to this side.

"The prince is looking for me, but do you have anything to say?" Jiang Tianba asked with a smile.

"Do you have some conspiracy?" The Cloud King stared at him like a sharp blade, slashing at the other man's face, and when night fell, he looked around the silent camp, and always felt more and more uneasy, as if something was about to happen.

"If I say no, will you believe it?" Jiang Tianba was still smiling, without any formality, "If I say yes, do you believe it or not?" Even if you believe, what can you do? After all, the king didn't believe it. ”

"You ......" the Cloud King was annoyed and angry, yes, what could he do? The eldest brother didn't listen to persuasion at all, and all the soldiers were carried away by the success along the way, and they thought about rushing to Xilin Pass to take revenge, and what he said was in vain.

Looking up at the sky, I just hope that God will give Xiyi a little good luck and not encounter accidents.

Jiang Tianba glanced at him, seemed to see that he was praying to the sky, and secretly mocked, and said in his heart, I am afraid that you have long forgotten that Xiyi is the aggressor country, and the one who launched the war first, and still wants to get the favor of God? Seems a little too greedy, right? If God has eyes, this time will definitely wipe out your entire army!

The night was getting darker, and the camp was very quiet, except for the occasional footsteps of passing patrolmen, only the sound of hunting with military flags fluttering, which was extremely subtle.

In such an environment, it is always easy to get sleepy, and the king of Xiyi sat in front of the desk, took care of all the military affairs, yawned, stood up and stretched, loosened his belt and prepared to go to the back tent to rest.

At this moment, there was a loud chaotic thud outside, and a scream rang out.

"Oh no, the enemy is attacking the camp!"

"Enemy attack on the camp! Hurry up to the king! ”

A chaotic scream came into his ears, and the king of Xiyi felt a loud bang in his head, and ran out of the camp tent with his legs, looking up, but saw that the fire was bright on the top of the surrounding mountains, and countless fireballs flew like rain, falling on the top of the tent, in the open space, etc., the tongue of fire burned along the camp tent, hunting and hunting in the cold wind, from the small gathering to the large, crackling, recklessly burning, there is a great posture to devour the sky.

In just a moment's work, this valley became a sea of fire, and the sound of shouting, horses, and weapons colliding were mixed together, and all of them came to his ears.

He's been tricked, he's tricked again.

Standing in place, his legs as if they had been nailed to the ground, unable to move half a step, he looked at the panicked fleeing soldiers around him, and the soldiers who were screaming in pain from the fire, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so that the rain of arrows came and he didn't react to dodge.

"Big brother!" The King of the Clouds swooped down out of nowhere, pushed the King of Xiyi to the ground, rolled a few times, and after dodging a few arrows from the wind, he pulled him and ran in the direction of the valley.

Running out of the valley in the chaos, the King of the Dark Clouds pushed the King of Xiyi on horseback, and led the remnants of less than a thousand people to flee to the west, they did not dare to slow down the speed of running for a moment, and ran vigorously until the night receded, and the golden crow slowly climbed up from the mountain in the east, and the group saw that there were no pursuers chasing behind, so they gradually slowed down, and finally stopped at the foot of a mountain to rest.

Ran for nearly five hours, all escaped death, were greatly frightened, everyone was tired and hungry, but before only running for their lives, there was no time to bring food and water and other things, many people did not even have time to put on their clothes, only in the middle coat ran out, extremely embarrassed, at this time hungry and cold, there is no way at all, can only use the sun to warm, eat the sand in the wind to satisfy hunger.

The king of Xiyi was full of grief and indignation, his eyes were full of tears, and his eyes were flashed by the sunlight in the sky, and he was suddenly dizzy, and the world swirled, and he fell from his horse.

"Big brother!"

"King!"

Everyone hurriedly dismounted and ran over to help him, all of them were so anxious that they all gathered around.

The sunlight was blocked, King Xiyi felt a little more comfortable, struggled to open his eyes, and what caught his eyes was the concerned face of the King of Dark Clouds, he grabbed the other party's hand, moved his lips, and asked in a dumb voice: "Second brother, how many people do we have left?" ”

At this time, even if the King of Dark Clouds wanted to comfort him, he was powerless, because he couldn't believe it at all.

"The enemy suddenly attacked, the Chinese army was scattered, the soldiers fled to death, the front army and the rear army were almost all wiped out, and now, there are less than 1,000 men and horses left."

"Poof~"

King Xiyi couldn't accept the bad news for a while, so he was furious and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Big brother......" The dark cloud king's eyes were filled with tears, and he hurriedly raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth for him, hiding the resentment in his eyes, and persuaded: "Big brother, don't worry, when we return to Xiyi, we can regroup and take revenge later." ”

"But, ahem...... How much face shall I have to go back to the people of Xiyi? Thinking that there were less than a thousand of his 60,000 troops left, King Xiyi hated it so much that he coughed up a mouthful of blood, "I really don't have the face to go back." ”

"Don't say that, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, if you lose this time, you can come back in the future, how can the eldest brother be discouraged?" The Cloud King encouraged him, but even though he said this, he was actually disillusioned.

King Xiyi gasped rapidly, grabbed the wrist of the Dark Cloud King tightly with both hands, and said with remorse: "Second brother, I am blamed for being narrow-minded, not only did I not listen to your advice, but also regarded your loyalty as a donkey's liver and lungs...... I'm sorry for you...... Ahem......"

"Big brother, don't say it, don't say it," the Dark Cloud King was also annoyed, why didn't he persuade him again at that time? Although he did blame the other party for not listening to persuasion, but the matter has come to this point, what is the use of blaming him? "The most important thing now is to hurry up and return to Xiyi, in case the Yan army catches up, we can only be prisoners."

"That's right." Only then did King Xiyi come to his senses, and was supported by the soldiers on the left and right, his body still shaking uncontrollably, ready to get on his horse and continue to run.

At this moment, there was a loud shout in the sky overhead, as well as the sound of pulling the bow and string, everyone's hearts were suddenly cold, looking up for the sound, sure enough, not far from the high hill, the banner of the Yan army hunting and flying, I don't know how many Yan troops stood on the top of the mountain, almost blocking the sun.

The road ahead is blocked!

King Xiyi stumbled to his feet and almost fell to the ground again.

"Could it be that the heavens are going to kill me today?"
