Thousands of feet of yellow sand were kicked off by horses, covering up the already pitiful autumn grass. Outside the plug, the withered grass is no longer there, and the approaching war has added a bit of slaughter to the northwest scenery.

The Xiao cavalry guards and leopard cavalry guards had already rushed out of Xiajin Pass as originally planned, and tens of thousands of iron cavalry were like fast-moving lead clouds, and they came into contact with the first batch of enemy troops in a short time.

Although the countries of the Western Regions are stronger than cavalry, Da Zhao has rectified military affairs over the years and has already created a group of fierce and elite cavalry corps.

Under the rapid attack of the Great Zhao cavalry, the defending Western Regions Alliance Army was obviously caught off guard in the face of this sudden attack. Under the trampling of the iron hooves of the two guards, the already loose defense line was quickly torn open a gap.

However, tearing through the lines of defense is only the first step. Seeing that the Xiao cavalry guard and the leopard cavalry guard were like a bamboo, the Xiong Qu guard and the shooting sound guard of the second echelon also cheered up the army, and followed them straight to Lingzhou City.

When the vanguard arrived outside Lingzhou City, the scene in front of them was beyond everyone's expectations. The gate of Lingzhou was opened, and Fu Mang, the general of the Northern Qin who originally occupied Lingzhou, abandoned the city and left. In the northern suburbs of Lingzhou City, a huge mass grave is like a mountain, and the corpses in the pit are all dressed in clothes, all of them are the people of Dazhao!

When I returned to the city square, even the soldiers who were accustomed to seeing life and death were suddenly shocked and speechless, and how many iron-blooded men who were crisscrossing the battlefield finally had red eyes at this moment......

In the middle of the square, there was a shallow pool, in which the mutilated bones of more than a dozen babies were dropped, and a string of almost dried human heads hung from the flagpole in the center. The firewood in the high pile still crackled, and several charred corpses emitted an indescribable stench.

Then I turned my eyes and looked around, and there was a row of naked female corpses hanging from the beam under the eaves...... Their internal organs had been hollowed out, and their lungs and intestines were bleeding all over the ground.

There was only a pile of dry straw in the house, and the ** girl was still with her eyes open, and it could be seen from the nails she had lifted how frightened and painful she was in the last moments of her life......

This should be the most prosperous place in Lingzhou City, they should have been diligent people who cultivated textiles, but just because of the cowardice of the front-line generals, innocent people were brutally washed in blood.

Some soldiers couldn't help but crouch down and vomit, and many more chose to sobs silently.

"Northern Qin Army, Fu Mang, is he human!?" A young general looked at the prospect and immediately wet his eyes, "Fu Mang, this brute!" ”

It turned out that after Fu Mang led the army to break through Lingzhou City, he not only beheaded all the defenders of Dazhao who surrendered, but also slaughtered the people in the city.

Lingzhou, which was originally quiet and peaceful, was bleeding like a river for a while, and the city was ten rooms and nine empty. And Fu Mang heard that tens of thousands of troops of Dazhao had come to conquer, and after hastily plundering Lingzhou City, he abandoned the city and left.

When the news reached the army, the army was in an uproar. or excited about the recovery of Lingzhou, or frightened by the slaughter of Lingzhou, they are all gearing up to be reckless.

But Xi Luan's face was still calm, and he only ordered the troops to enter Lingzhou. Immediately, Jin Wuwei in Juyan City also marched to Lingzhou, and Huan Guohou, as the commander of the 500,000 army of Dazhao, naturally wanted to go to the front line in person, so that he could give orders at any time.

Since then, it has been more than 56 days since the countries of the Western Regions broke through the far pass of Dazhao Town, and it has been seven days since Xi Yan led his army to leave Juyan City. In the seven days, Xi Yan led his army to make four long-distance raids, all of which were encamped by the enemy or launched an attack at night.

Xi Yan also understands the strength of the army under his command, and several times he first sent scouts out to investigate the enemy's situation, and if he encounters the main force of the enemy, he will bypass it, and if he encounters a small group of enemy troops, he will choose to wait for the opportunity to annihilate.

In just seven days, his iron cavalry of 2,000 people made a name for himself on the battlefield, and some enemy generals were terrified.

But what made Xi Yan feel strange was that in the past few days, he had encountered almost all the armies of the countries in the coalition army, but he had not seen a single Northern Qin army.

Fu Mang, the general of the Northern Qin Dynasty, has always been very strict in governing the army, and he is also the enemy that Xi Luan fears the most this time, even his brother is not an enemy general to underestimate, and Xi Yan does not dare to take it lightly.

After thinking about it, Xi Yan felt that this matter was strange, he had already led the army hundreds of miles deeper, and there was no reason why he could not touch a Northern Qin army...... But the facts are in front of him, Xi Yan is marking the route of the march over the past few days on the map, and he is frowning and thinking.

If you can't meet the Northern Qin army again, there is only one situation, that is, all the Northern Qin troops are concentrated in one place, and such a large-scale movement of the enemy army will be big!

Thinking about this, Xi Yan was a little worried in his heart, but he believed that since he thought of it, his brother would definitely be able to think of it too. But after thinking about it again, Xi Yan still sent two scouts to report the matter to Xi Luan.

Xi Yan knew that at this moment outside the Xiajin Pass, there were still many cavalry troops like himself, and when his brother arranged the task before the war, he ordered the Xiao cavalry guard and the leopard cavalry guard to defend the Zhenyuan Pass, once the Zhenyuan Pass was sealed, Da Zhao's intention to close the door and beat the dog was self-evident.

Xi Luan's strategic intention is not only to recover all the lost territory, but also to annihilate all the armies that invaded Dazhao this time, and to consume the vital forces of the countries to the greatest extent.

It was already the cool autumn season, and Xi Yan led the army to be stationed in a place with abundant water and grass before sunset. But he knew that he could not stay here for long, and that after two hours at most he would again lead his army to attack the enemy camp that the scouts had already explored twenty miles away.

When the army was resting for a while, Zhan Feihong, the young general who asked Xi Yan for his life, came to him again, "General Yu, I just caught two enemy scouts, they are from Northern Qin!" ”

"Northern Qin?" These two words touched Xi Yan's sensitive nerves at once, and he asked urgently, "Have you explained anything?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhan Feihong nodded heavily, and his tone was also very excited, "Fifty miles ahead is the main force of the Northern Qin Army, with nearly 200,000 people!" ”

"Send scouts to probe again and get the map!" Xi Yan never expected that the elite of Northern Qin, whom he had been searching for, would hide in such a backward place.

"We are less than two hundred miles away from Shuiluo City at the moment, and dozens of miles outside Shuiluo City is Zhenyuan Pass, according to the pre-war arrangement...... Among the Horse Guards and Leopard Guards, a large part of the troops were ordered to bind their armor at the Zhenyuan Pass. The Northern Qin army is mobilized like this, could it be that they want to encircle and annihilate my big Zhao Xiao and the leopard two guards in the pass!? ”

The more Xi Yan thought about it, the more likely he felt that this matter was, the enemy countries released a small army to confuse the public, but secretly gathered the most elite Northern Qin army together, fortunately caught two tongues today, otherwise when the enemy army was encircled and formed, Da Zhao's Xiao and Leopard guards would be in a precarious situation.
