Tou Man was gritting his teeth and watching the 20,000 cavalry die in the fire, this sudden explosion frightened him all over, almost fell off his horse, looked up and looked up, saw the fire on the city wall, the smoke rolled, the soldiers screamed and flew sideways, Tou Man's eyes were bloodshot, the green muscles were bursting, and the anger was to the extreme.

In order to be able to seize the Central Plains, carefully planned, recuperated, but did not want to carefully cultivate the cavalry, before the Qin State had a head-on battle, it had been wiped out by more than 100,000 people, and the loss of the three fierce generals was bearable.

Originally, the army pressed the border, led Meng Tian to lead the troops to come to the town, and ordered the elite to invade from Shangjun, if Meng Tian returned to defense, immediately break through Yanmen, attack on both sides, and eliminate the Qin army, if Meng Tian did not return to defense, the cavalry that invaded Shangjun crossed the river and Donghu, Xianbei Division, encircling Yanmen, so that Meng Tian is isolated, annihilated, if the Qin army led by Meng Yi is annihilated, the Xiongnu will have no worries, sweeping the northern counties, although the elite of the upper county was destroyed, the loss is huge, but the overall situation has been decided, no matter what choice Meng Tian makes, there is no way to live, this is a strategy to win, but I didn't expect this stinky Taoist priest to appear in Yanmen out of thin air, and then use tricks, and destroy an elite division, blocking their progress.

Looking at the collapsed city wall, Tou Man said angrily: "Quickly clean up this rubble, I will catch up with that stinky Taoist priest and crush him into pulp!"

It took two hours for the Xiongnu soldiers to clear the road, the fire in the city gate had been extinguished, and the 20,000 cavalry were burned to ashes.

After the Xiongnu army rushed for 200 miles, I saw the Qin army from a distance and entered the canyon in a panic, this canyon is surrounded by continuous mountains on both sides, flat and open, it is the only way to lead to Daijun, the terrain is not very dangerous, Tou Man saw it, and roared: "Catch up with them, trample them into mud!"

Under an order, I saw tens of thousands of cavalry, fast horses and whips, like a tide, roaring towards the canyon, Bi Cheng looked at the undulating mountains from afar, although such a wide canyon is difficult to ambush, but there is uneasiness in his heart, faintly feel that the Taoist priest is going to play tricks again, but he can't guess.

He was originally a native of Qi, well-versed in the ancient and modern, proficient in the art of war, but was not reused by the Qi State, after the Qi State was destroyed, he went into exile to the Xiongnu, won the appreciation of the head man, served as the prime minister, and made great contributions to the Xiongnu strong, giving advice and making great contributions.

Bi Cheng said to his head: "Great Khan, the Qin army is cunning, originally we found out that Meng Tian only had 20,000 left behind, but we didn't think that another 30,000 were ambushed in the city, resulting in the annihilation of General Qiyan Batu's entire division, Weichen believes that with Meng Tian's troops, the cavalry taken away will not exceed 80,000, and the rest of the Qin soldiers have not left, maybe they are ambushed along the way, preparing for a sneak attack, we should be careful." ”

Touman sank his anger and asked: "If there are more than 100,000 people left, why don't you stay behind Yanmen, relying on the dangerous terrain to defend 300,000 with 100,000, although it may not be able to hold it, but at least it can delay us, give Meng Tian enough time, give up such a geographical advantage, and choose to ambush along the way, isn't this a sacrifice of the roots?"

"In order to break through Yanmen, we built a lot of siege equipment, and made sufficient preparations, even if there are 200,000 Qin troops guarded, under the strong attack, they will still be broken, and the Qin army chose to abandon the pass, and the equipment we built will lose their effect, our preparation is equal to doing in vain, and the Qin army not only stopped us without much loss, but also killed nearly 30,000 of us, this move, who would have thought that the scheming of that person made Weichen have to admire!"

"Who is that Dao person, how could a person even more powerful than Li Mu suddenly emerge in the Qin Kingdom?"

"Wei Chen has never heard of it, maybe he is a disciple of Guiguzi again!" turned his head and asked Qiu Linshan, who had been silent behind him, "Does General Qiu know who he is?"

Qiu Linshan said with a look of shame: "The last general only knows that he calls Meng Yi the second brother, and his body is very weak. ”

Bi Cheng thought about it and said: "Meng Wu doesn't have such a young son, maybe he is a cousin, but he must find out his details." ”

......

The cavalry that pursued the Qin army galloped wildly, but they never caught up with the Qin army in front, and the further they entered, the heavier the humidity in the canyon became, and the smoke was swirling, and they could only be seen a hundred zhang away.

A cool breeze blew in his face, the leaves rattled, and the pursuers shivered, and felt bad, so they tightened the reins, slowed down, and walked on guard.

Suddenly, I felt that something was wrong with this smoke, and it seemed that I could smell a faint smell of herbs, which made people feel in a trance, fluttering, and the whole body seemed to be floating in the clouds, and the eyelids gradually felt heavy, and the whole body was weak, and there was no word, "poof! poof...... "fell off the horse, fell to the ground, as if asleep, the war horse did not take a few steps forward, and also fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the cavalry behind was dazed and wanted to shout, but found that their voices could not make a sound, they squeaked a few times, fell off their horses, and in an instant, less than 20,000 cavalry all fainted in the valley.

......

Seeing the report from the front, Tou Man and the others looked at the fog in front of them, and began to worry, suddenly felt that their bodies were fluttering, and they almost fell off the horse, and Prime Minister Bi hurriedly shouted: "It's not good, this smoke is poisonous, quickly cover your mouth and nose, and retreat!"

Everyone was horrified, hurriedly covered their noses with their sleeves, turned the horse's head, and wanted to retreat, but as a result, the front team suddenly turned around, but the rear team did not hear the order, and for a while, people shouted and the horses roared, and the long line was in chaos.

Seeing that the team was chaotic, it was difficult for Bi Cheng to withdraw from the canyon in a short period of time, and said to the ghost-like Xuanming Ancestor beside him: "Ancestor, can you disperse this poisonous smoke?"

Xuan Ming Ancestor didn't answer immediately, and Prime Minister Bi had no choice but to say again: "Don't worry, as long as the ancestor does things for our Great Khan, the Great Khan will never treat the ancestor badly!"

After hearing this, Xuan Ming Ancestor chuckled: "That old man wrote it down first!" As he spoke, the black shadow had risen suddenly, with a gust of yin wind, flew down to the front of the team, took out the dragon horn in his sleeve, and recited a spell in his mouth, as if he was talking to a ghost, his whole body quickly puffed up, and he blew hard against the smoke, and the dragon horn made a sharp dragon groan, setting off a violent wind, and ran towards the canyon, and the mountains and rocks on both sides were shaken and rolled down.

The shrill sound lasted for a long time, until the smoke in the canyon was blown away, and everyone saw the cavalry and war horses in front of them in a messy manner.

Tou Man and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and Prime Minister Bi asked the Xuanming Ancestor who flew back on horseback: "Ancestor, where did this smoke come from!"

Old Ancestor pointed to a small pile of hay extinguished in the distance, and said hoarsely: "It's the smell of those hay when it burns, and if you smell too much, you will faint, but it won't be fatal." ”

Prime Minister Bi Cheng ordered the soldiers to bring the unburned hay in the past, sniffed it gently, and sighed: "That's really the case!

"Wormwood, sleepweed, sage, there are many in the mountains on both sides!"

Prime Minister Bi Cheng praised: "The ancestor is well-informed, the magic power is boundless, Ling Zai admires, if it wasn't for the ancestor to make a timely move, we would definitely be trapped in the valley." ”

"Don't forget what you said, and don't forget the compliments. ”

Prime Minister Bi Cheng said with a smile on his face: "Certainly, definitely!" but cursed in his heart.

Xuan Ming ancestor from Beiju Luzhou outside the North Sea, has lived for more than two hundred years, practice witchcraft, drink the blood of the virgin, only wander in the north of Yin Mountain, notorious, so people witchcraft is weird, although the countries hate, but dare not provoke, Touman in order to get his help, has given him five hundred women, this shot, it is estimated that it will take another two hundred.

After a stick of incense, the fallen soldiers and horses woke up one after another, and many of them hit stones when they fell, and were slightly injured, but they were fine.

Bi Cheng said to Tou Man: "Great Khan, this place is not suitable for a long time, we should pass through this canyon quickly, so as not to let them play tricks!" Tou Man immediately ordered to continue to advance.

This canyon is more than 200 miles long, the Hun army took two hours to pass through, go to a river, it is late, people are sleepy and horses are tired, the head man ordered the army to rest by the river for a night, early tomorrow morning, and then chase the Qin soldiers.

The deepest part of the river is only knee-high, wide and calm, Prime Minister Bi Cheng looked at the sparkling river, worried, suddenly, found that there were many dead fish floating on the river, shocked, hurriedly shouted: "The river water is poisonous, don't drink it!" It seems that it is a little late, and there are already soldiers taking water and drinking horses by the river.

After a while, the soldiers and horses who had drunk the water foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground screaming.

Counting the number of people, nearly 10,000 soldiers were poisoned, more than 5,000 war horses, Touman was furious, scolded the Qin army for its damage, and the soldiers also gritted their teeth, but they were helpless.

When night fell, the fog was hazy, and the soldiers who had been attacking for a day had fallen asleep, and Prime Minister Bi Cheng sat in the account, his thoughts were chaotic, and before he could engage the Qin army head-on, he had lost 40,000, plus the 100,000 elites in Shangjun, the morale of the Xiongnu army was greatly reduced, and he began to worry, and the result had exceeded their expectations.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came, breaking the silence of the night, and the sentry shouted outside the tent: "The Qin army is attacking at night!"

Prime Minister Bi hurriedly ran out of the tent to look, only to see that in the direction of the canyon, thousands of torches were pushed like a tide, shouting and killing shook the sky, no one expected that the Qin army would attack at night, let alone attack from the rear.

Touman rushed out of the tent, flew on his horse, carried a long knife, and shouted angrily: "Just in time, Ben Khan has nowhere to vent!" But the Hun cavalry was not as sharp as him.

Ugud rushed over and took Touman's horse and persuaded, "Great Khan, don't!"

The 30,000 cavalry of the Qin army entered the Xiongnu military camp in a moment, everywhere they went, the flames soared into the sky, unstoppable, and the Xiongnu soldiers who had not had time to get on the horse were slashed and killed countless times, General Xu's big knife was wielded, and the enemy encountered, the stumps flew sideways, screaming again and again.

When the Hun cavalry came to their senses and wanted to close the siege, the Qin army had already rushed through the barracks, stepped across the river, and rushed away.
