Three days later, the army marched on time. Drums and horns sounded in unison, and flags were hunting. Xi Yan accompanied his brother to stand at the head of Juyan City, and the wind was thousands of miles, blowing Xi Yan's robe and making a sound. Under the city tower, a total of 130,000 troops of Xiao Cavalry and Leopard Cavalry were pressed in black, and they went westward.

For a whole day, there were troops leaving outside the city of Juyan.

It wasn't until the bright moon hung high that the sound of horses' hooves gradually dissipated, and more than 400,000 troops all drove to the outside of Xiajin Pass. At this time, Juyan City was empty compared to the daytime, and only Jin Wuwei was still guarding the city as Huan Guohou's personal soldiers. Just today, Shi Hanqing led the rest of Jin Wuwei to Juyan City.

At the same time, most of the scouts who had been dispersed by Xi Luan to investigate the enemy's situation also returned, and one by one Tang newspapers were presented to Xingyuan.

"Sure enough," Xi Luan picked up a pen while flipping through the Tang Newspaper, and marked it on the map with a pen while looking at it, "Sure enough...... Fu Mang and Wen Gulu seemed to have sensed our army's combat intentions, and had already shrunk the forces they could dispatch to the city. It is also foolish to say that instead of using the blades of the cavalry in open places, the men and horses are shrunk into the city......"

"Yes," Xi Yan also chuckled, "Don't you want to make Zhi dizzy?" You may not be able to defend it, and you may not be able to abandon the city. Under indecision, you can only do stupid things......"

"Well...... Xi Luan looked at his younger brother approvingly, "I didn't expect you to never go to the battlefield, but you can still tell these ways." ”

"Drinking blood on the battlefield and breaking the country is where a man's heart lies, how can I be an exception?" Xi Yan looked at his brother with a smile, and said with some earnestness, "Brother, all the generals have already led their troops to the front line, why are you confined me in this big camp?" I know you're afraid of the sword on the battlefield without eyes, but now that I've come to the northwest, how can I be alone? ”

"You want to go to the front?" Xi Luan still looked at the map, and said after a while, "Then I'll give you a task." ”

Hearing his brother say this, Xi Yan's eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance, and he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "Brother, please command!" ”

"Judging from the news reported by the scouts, except for the Northern Qin army outside Xiajin Pass, most of the other countries are scattered and stationed, and there are not many people per unit. You go and get 2,000 elite hussars, that is, the sunrise pass is slanted to the north, and you go from the north to break them all, do you dare? ”

"Of course!" Xi Yanjian raised his eyebrows, and his starry eyes also flashed with a clear light, "I went." ”

"Wait!" Xi Luan looked at his younger brother who was suddenly excited, and suddenly shouted to stop him. Xi Yan turned around inexplicably, but looked at his brother's caring eyes, "Brother still has orders?" ”

Xi Luan reached up and grabbed his shoulder, and advised, "Don't go too deep, be careful in everything." ”

"Well, don't worry, brother." Xi Yan nodded heavily, and then took the order in high spirits.

After taking out two thousand iron horsemen from the Jinwuwei with the Tiger Talisman, Xi Yan turned his horse's head to look at the soldiers behind him, and encouraged: "Brothers! It is said that raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while. Now, it's time for us to go into battle and kill the enemy! Today, Ben will lead you on a long run! Didn't the barbarians say that their cavalry was strong? Today, let's let them see whose cavalry is stronger! ”

These soldiers behind him were already worried about the matter of staying behind the Chinese army, but now that they got the opportunity to fight, they all tightened their horses as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and after a whip sounded the sound of horses, two thousand iron horsemen rushed out of the gate like a black whirlwind.

Xi Luan and a deputy general watched Xi Yan lead the army to attack outside the line, and they all showed gratifying eyes. The deputy general was also a general under Xi Luan at the beginning, and after many years, he served under Xi Luan, and in addition to being full of emotion, he was more of a joy and gratitude.

Looking at Xi Yan's high-spirited back, Vice General Liu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The heroic demeanor of General Right is almost the same as that of the Hou Ye back then...... The Xi family can produce two fierce generals, which is really my great Zhao's luck. ”

Xi Luan was noncommittal about this, but said leisurely: "Young and vigorous, it's always good to let him go out to see and see." Save him from always shouting that he wants to go to war, so let him go and see it...... After reading it, you will understand. ”

"Yes......" General Liu nodded, he thought of the cruel scenes in the Zhenyuan Pass in the past, the scenery in the northwest is the same as in the past, and the few people who survived by luck back then have long been waiting to pay respects. It's just that General Yunlu, who was indomitable at the beginning, has become today's calm and silent Huan Guohou......

The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. On the vast land in the northwest, a black iron horse is like a sharp arrow, and it will not take long to shuttle to the outside of Xiajin Pass.

Before leaving, Xi Yan had already made sufficient preparations, and he ordered his sergeants to travel lightly, bringing only drinking water and a little dry food. He also found the Northwest soldiers who were familiar with the terrain and roads from the army, and asked them to be guides for the whole army.

Xi Yan knew his brother's intention to let him lead the troops out of the customs, and his set of strategies for fighting the war was basically inherited from Xi Luan, and the tactics of using troops were also in the same vein as Xi Luan's back then. They all like to fight fast and fast, because the food is against the enemy.

There are many enemy troops outside the Shimotsu Pass, and as long as you find the location of a small group of enemy troops, you can tear them apart in one fell swoop with the advantage of men and horses.

Xi Yan has long been familiar with the map outside the Xiajin Pass in the northwest these days, at this time he has led the army out of the Xiajin Pass for more than 100 miles, and there is a small town in front of him, and it is breakfast time at this moment, he is keenly aware that there will be enemy troops in front.

"Speed up the march!" Xi Yan commanded loudly, the time to eat in the barracks was the time when the soldiers were most sluggish and slack, and the cavalry under his command was in a state of excitement, as long as they could rush to the enemy's camp before the meal, they would definitely be able to kill the enemy unprepared.

Sure enough, from a distance, Xi Yan saw puffs of cooking smoke in the large camp of an army in the valley below, and he could even smell the aroma of food.

Xi Yan had a smug look on his face, and ordered loudly: "Charge in formation!" Remember! The enemy is outnumbered, and you must not fall in love with war! After stabbing through the enemy camp with a burst of energy, re-form a formation and turn back to kill! ”

The banner painted with gold on a black background was waved down suddenly, two rows of iron hooves were raised high, and the order was issued, and the blade-like iron cavalry immediately rushed to the enemy camp from the relatively gentle hillside in the shape of an arrow. The combined impact of the men and horses was enormous, and before the Uighurs could feast on their lunch, the gods of heaven pierced their chests with their life-seeking weapons.

Some of the quicker veterans had come to their senses, but they had just picked up their weapons and had not had time to turn over their horses when a new charge began from behind.

The Uighur army, which numbered less than 5,000 men, was slaughtered in just half an hour. The originally quiet valley had become a Shura hell at this time, and only the blood qi that soared to the sky fluttered unscrupulously.

After briefly reporting the battle losses, Xi Yan was obviously very satisfied with the results of the battle, and with the strength of his own 2,000 men, he was able to fold more than 5,000 enemy troops here with insignificant losses. Most of the soldiers who died here were also because they were greedy for merit and did not listen to the command and fell in love with the war, so they threw their lives here.

At this moment, a group of soldiers came to Xi Yan with a few prisoners, and a young general led by him stepped forward and asked, "General Youyou!" These are captured enemy troops, what should be done? ”

Xi Yan looked at these large numbers of prisoners of war, he vaguely remembered that this young general was called Zhan Feihong, so he said to him seriously: "This time we have to travel lightly when we go out of the customs to attack, so many prisoners of war...... Zhan Feihong, are you going to stay and guard them? ”

Zhan Feihong's eyes lit up, and then he touched the ground with one knee, hugged his fists and said, "The last general understands!" ”

He was originally from the northwest, and this time the Northern Qin people plundered and trampled on his homeland, he was already full of hatred for all the foreign enemy troops, and he wanted to cut off their heads one by one and kick them as balls.

Xi Yan bowed his head slightly, and Zhan Feihong immediately turned around and ordered, "This is my Great Zhao land, these barbarians dare to show their might in our Great Zhao Yaowu, let's send them to see the King of Hades now!" ”

In just a moment, the prisoners of war were all shot, Xi Yan looked at the corpses all over the ground lightly, and then issued a general order, "The whole army will rest for a while, and continue to march in two moments, there will be many tough battles to be fought next!" Remember, all seizures are not allowed, only the necessary dry food is allowed, and no one is allowed to burden themselves! ”

"Yes!" The neat response of the whole army sounded like thunder, and Xi Yan looked at these sergeants in front of him with satisfaction, the thin lips of the young general were so resolute.

After a short rest, the two thousand men formed a formation again and marched towards the west.
