Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, the 70,000 Fei Fei army set off again.

The banner that stretched for miles greeted the rising sun, and the ten thousand rays of light sprinkled on the black iron armor of the Fei Army. The sturdy war horse carried the master over the mountains and mountains, all the way to the west.

Qunqu Mountain is lined with 18 peaks from west to east, towering into the clouds, and the mountains are steep. On one side of the official road is a rugged cliff, and on the other side is an abyss.

The official road was just enough for four horses to go in parallel, and Xi Yan and Liu Peiqi were at the forefront of the army side by side, marching silently all the way.

Boring on the march, Xi Yan accidentally glanced at the canyon below the mountain, but suddenly found that there was a faint army marching in the canyon.

"Stop!"

Orders were passed down one after another, and in a few moments the army came to a halt. The Flying Army was disciplined, and even though most people didn't understand what was happening ahead, they remained quiet.

"Liu Qing, do you see it?"

Liu Peiqi nodded with a heavy face, "The distance is too far to see the pattern on the military flag clearly." But the dark green banner ...... There is only one Uighur country in the world, so could it be that they also want to stir up the troubled waters of the northwest? ”

Xi Yan took the map from the hands of his own soldiers, and after a large number of words, he said: "We are going west all the way, and this Muhuai Valley below is exactly the only way for the Uighurs to enter the northwest. They...... I'm afraid I'm here to avenge Wen Gulu. ”

"Yes," Liu Peiqi mused...... "The Uighurs would have planned to take the opportunity to come to the northwest to make a fortune in the name of revenge." If we hadn't found out first, I'm afraid that Qi Gongzi's side would ...... It's going to be a big loss. ”

Xi Yan immediately looked at the unaware Uighur army in the valley, and his tone was proud: "Since we have met, we naturally have to meet it." Then he resolutely ordered, "Inform the whole army, turn around and retreat northward, and stop the Uighur army at the Qunqu Pass!" ”

"Then we won't make a roundabout?"

Xi Yan shook his head slowly, "Looking at the menacing appearance of these Uighurs, I'm afraid that the number of troops will not be less than 100,000." Even if we detour back behind Fu Mang, we can't stop these more than 100,000 people. But if we take a shortcut to ambush the Uighurs at the mouth of the Qunqushan Gorge, we will definitely gain something......"

"Also," said Xi Yan resolutely, "send out a team of the most elite scouts in the army, and I will keep abreast of the movements of this Uighur army." Finally, immediately go to find out the commander, number, and armament of this army...... The more detailed, the better. I need to know all these things. ”

"My subordinates understand."

In just a few moments of effort, dozens of people separated from the army.

Liu Peiqi looked at their backs without hesitation, and said slowly: "Scouts are the easiest branch of the army to die in battle, and every soldier who is trained to be a scout has to go through a hellish test. This kind of test not only tortures, but also destroys the mind. Before each scout set off, he had a heart of death. But even if people can't come back, Tang Bao must come back......"

Xi Yan looked at the direction where the scouts were leaving, and said in a deep voice: "War has been like this since ancient times, as long as the commander draws his sword, there is no side that does not bleed thousands of miles, and it will be successful...... Ten thousand bones withered. But today, we have no choice. ”

"Yes, which dynasty and generation in this northwest land is not full of bones, nourishing the river...... And which dynasty and which generation did not compete with water and blood? ”

Xi Yan bowed his head slightly, "There is a debtor who is wronged, and Wen Gulu was captured alive by me at that time." This encounter with the Uighur army can be regarded as providential. ”

"Hahahahaha......" Liu Peiqi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "The Uighurs have been fighting with you in recent years, and you captured a prince alive last time, and you discovered your whereabouts again this time. They walked along Qunqu Mountain to avoid Huai'an's eyeliner, but the result was ...... It's really a trick! ”

"What's the solution?" Xi Yan's robe was blown up by the wind, and he looked even more high-spirited, "What is delivered to the door, how can it not be accepted in full?" If I say that this group of Qushan is the boundary of the Lingjiang River, who in the world would dare to come out and oppose it? ”

Liu Peiqi pursed his lips and smiled, "You are now a prince, do you have the intention of being self-reliant?" ”

Xi Yan exhaled softly, "At that time, on the way south, I once said something like 'the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it'. To this day, although there is no wind that can break me, I still don't want to be the king with no one to kiss. Liu Qing, can you understand? ”

Liu Peiqi's eyes darkened, but he still said very understandingly: "My subordinates understand, but ...... You also have to understand that since you have embarked on this road, you will not be able to get around that position. ”

"I know......" Xi Yan was troubled for a while, and said casually, "Everything will wait until the war is over, let's go back to Lingjiang." ”

As he spoke, Xi Yan waved his whip, and the horse immediately sped up and headed towards the front army.

Between the fertile Lingjiang River and the northwest of Xiaosuo, there is only a group of Qu Mountains, which block the warm wind blowing from the south to the northwest land, and also block some vitality in the northwest land.

If you want to take a shortcut from south to north to enter the northwestern state capitals, you must pass through the Qunqu Pass.

As for the local people in the northwest, although they wanted to flee to Lingjiang to avoid trouble, Xi Yan ordered Daqing to pass a pass, and they naturally couldn't enter. Qunqu Pass, which used to be inhabited, has really become a wild place at this time.

Xi Yan stood in the makeshift tent with the hilt of his sword in his hand, thinking over and over every detail of the battle.

Two hours ago, the Fei Army had already arrived at the Qunqu Pass first, where 70,000 people sharpened their swords and waited for battle.

Xi Yan believed that when the Uighurs came to this place, their surprise would not disappoint him.

He looked at the map again, and Xi Yan suddenly found that if Huai'an and Lingjiang were included in Dazhao, the outline of the entire Dazhao territory would look like a Buddha.

It is said that Cihang Pudu, but the body of this Buddha seems to be born to be full of killing.

When his thoughts were in a trance, Xi Yan set his eyes on the Qunqu Mountain Pass, which was like a bottleneck, and a large number of archers were arranged at the mouth of the gorge, along with rolling stones and logs.

After crossing the gorge, there is an open field to the north, which is not sheltered by trees in the gorge, and from north to south is a gentle slope without shelter, and when the Uighur army that escaped from the south rushes through the ambush at the mouth of the gorge, there are still Feifei troops waiting for them on their horses, and it is two layers inside and outside, and no enemy army will escape.

Xi Yan and Liu Peiqi calculated that if they launched a charge on the slope, when the two sides were in close combat, the speed of their own cavalry would be the fastest, which would undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the Uighur army that had just broken through the rolling stone arrows.

After nearly an hour of waiting, the Uighur vanguard finally appeared in the eyes of the soldiers of the Flying Army.

The tent was set up on a relatively high mountain, and Xi Yan looked at the first group of Uighur troops slowly marching into the mouth of the gorge, and ordered: "Let this group go, and order the first group of cavalry outside the mouth to stay armoured, and leave them to the second row of cavalry to clean up." ”

The military orders were conveyed in an orderly manner, and the terrain of the gorge was supposed to be an excellent place to set up an ambush, but the Uighurs relied on their own whereabouts to be secretive, and the group swaggered in.

When the Uighur army entered the gorge, rolling rocks and logs and arrows with the sound of the wind roared, and some Uighur soldiers rushed forward desperately and tried to break out of the gorge. Some turned their heads and retreated.

The situation was chaotic and military orders were difficult to convey, and the Uighurs had begun to trample on themselves, and all the soldiers did not care whether they were comrades or enemies behind them, but instinctively retreated.

They finally broke out of the gorge, but the shining blades of the cavalry were waiting for them on the slope ahead. With a black background and a golden eagle embroidered on it, the banner suddenly waved down, and the cavalry charged and began a new round of slaughter.

After nearly half an hour of fighting, there was not much left of the Uighur army, but there were still more than 10,000 remnants of the army still resisting at the mouth of the gorge. Looking at the general who walked up the trail to the front, Xi Yan asked, "Are all the preparations made at the south entrance of the canyon?" ”

"Yes, it's all ready."

"Hmm......" Xi Yan commanded with an expressionless face, "Let's do it." ”

A moment later, the flames rising from the mouth of the South Gorge reflected the deepest part of everyone's eyes.

The fire blocked the retreat of the Uighur army, but it was a solid guarantee for the Fei army. Xi Yan knows very well that if the grass cannot be cut cleanly, the aftermath will be endless.
