Tao Kan and Xue Jing always maintained a distance of an hour, during which Tao Kan kept sending people to the front army to ask Xue Jing if there was any ambush.
It's okay to ask twice, but if you ask too much, Xue Jing will be annoyed.
I'm patronizing and reporting to you, and I don't have time to pursue Zu Ti.
No, he directly cut off contact and sped up to enter the Valley of Absolute Souls.
Hearing this news, Tao Kan stomped his feet in annoyance, this Xue actually dared to disobey his orders.
In case of falling into the trap, the 3,000 people will not lose their lives in vain.
Thinking of this, Tao Kan ordered the army to follow urgently.
However, to Tao Kan's surprise, Xue had already successfully passed through the Valley of Absolute Souls, and there were no ambushes.
This time, Tao Kan won't be able to do it.
What's the situation, will Zu Ti use soldiers in the end, and you don't set up ambushes in a place like Soul Valley?
Is it true that you will not lead troops, or is it because you fled only because your troops were defeated and unable to fight again?
With such thoughts, Tao Kan was in a trance.
Catch up with the advice of his subordinates, it is better to take advantage of this time to forcibly cross the Valley of Desperate Souls and hunt down Zu Ti, otherwise, if you lose the opportunity, you will regret it.
All the generals persuaded him like this, Tao Kan came back to his senses, his mouth opened, his hand was raised in mid-air, and finally waved heavily: "Everyone obey the order and bypass the Valley of Absolute Souls." โ
When everyone heard this, their jaws almost fell to the ground, bypassing the Valley of Absolute Souls?
My general, are you kidding? It would take half a day to get around the Valley of the Soulless.
Just rush directly through the Valley of Absolute Souls to catch up, what are you doing in the distance.
Regarding the confusion of the generals, Tao Kan snorted coldly: "What do you know, for the generals to consider all aspects, what if the enemy is ambushed in the Valley of the Desperate Soul?" โ
Several generals and colonels all came forward and clenched their fists: "General, you have thought too much, Xue has already passed safely, and an ambush has already appeared." โ
"Yes, general, if we continue to delay so carefully, then Zu Ti will withdraw to Yuzhang. When the time comes, there will be no chance to annihilate him. โ
If one or two said this, it would be fine, everyone said so, so that Tao Kan couldn't make up his mind.
Tao Kan thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth, pointed to a general and said: "I will give you 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard outside the valley, if there is any change in the valley, you can also lead troops to support." The rest, come with me. โ
The general who was named was full of unhappiness, no, you all chased after you to eat meat and drink soup, and let me drink the northwest wind here alone, right? There is no such reason.
But Tao Kan governed the army strictly, and even if the colonel was dissatisfied in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only reluctantly clench his fists and say yes, and lead 5,000 people to postpone.
In this way, Tao Kan's army entered the Valley of Absolute Souls.
When he came in, Tao Kan also sent countless sentry posts to inquire and investigate, and it felt as if there were thousands of troops and horses hidden in any small grass on the side of the road.
His cautious attitude made the generals under his command laugh uncontrollably.
Look, the general army was beaten out of the shadow in his heart by Zu Ti, which is too careful.
The last time I saw the generals and soldiers so careful, it was when I was educated by Yao Yu.
complained in their hearts, and everyone didn't go to their hearts.
In their opinion, Tao Kan has lost his demeanor by being so cautious, in fact, what kind of ambush is there.
However, just as the army of Tao Kan's army had just entered the Valley of Absolute Souls, at both ends of the valley, the drums shook the sky.
Immediately after, countless heavily armed soldiers came out, all over the mountains, all of them were the main force of the long-awaited Jingzhou army.
The generals are the ancestors.
Tao Kan scolded when he heard the movement: "Sure enough, there is an ambush, everyone obeys the order, don't panic, and withdraw from the Absolute Soul Valley in an orderly manner." โ
Tao Kan's voice fell, and on the cliff, Zu Lian laughed: "Tao Kan, your death has come." โ
When the words landed, the two of them waved their orders heavily.
Immediately, some soldiers threw cloth bags full of saltpeter at the mouth of the valley and piled them up, and then a fire went up, and the front and rear exits were all blocked by the fire.
Looking at the valley again, Lian Jun ordered his archers to attack with the infantry.
What wolf's teeth and arrows, rocks and rolling wood, don't throw them into the valley like money.
Catch up with someone to throw saltpeter into the valley, in an instant, Tao Kan's soldiers and horses panicked, and the soldiers and horses trampled on each other and died, and there were countless people.
Tao Kan tried his best to command the army and stabilize the morale of the army, but he was also seen by Zu Lian, opened his bow and took an arrow, and while no one was guarded, an arrow shot through Tao Kan's shoulder.
When Tao Kan fell from his horse, the military spirit that was finally pacified by him rioted again.
With a bang, thousands of soldiers and horses were like ants on a hot pot, like a flock of panicked chickens.
In the Valley of the Soulless, there will be a massacre.

Xue Jing, who had already left the valley, and Zang Kai, who was left outside by Tao Kan, received the battle situation in the Absolute Soul Valley, and the two sides didn't say a word, and went to the Absolute Soul Valley to rescue Tao Kan.
However, Lian Jun and Zu He had already prepared for this, and Zu Zhi and Yang He led soldiers and horses to stop Xue Jing and Zang Kai respectively.
In the chaotic battle, Zu Zhi picked Xue Jing with a gun and killed his subordinates. Zang Kai is not Yang He's opponent, with five thousand soldiers and horses, he can't break through a bit.
Two waves of reinforcements have been killed, and in the Valley of the Desperate Soul, Tao Kan directly became a fish on a sticky board, waiting to be slaughtered.
"The ancestral general and the army are resourceful, so Tao Kan can't escape this time."
Lian Jun turned his head and praised Zu Ti with his fists.
He is sincere, after all, Zu Ti's serial tricks are indeed wonderful.
You must know that at the beginning, Zu Ti raided Xichang, in order to hit Tao Kan by surprise, and before he could react, he scattered all the money, food and materials in Xichang City, and first extracted Tao Kan's foundation.
Although Tao Kan ambushed Lian Jun on the way to retreat, the result of the fall of Xichang City and the burning of materials far exceeded the joy of defeating Lian Jun.
At this time, Zu Ti brought hundreds of people to make tiger skins to scare Tao Kan and buy time for Lian Jun's support.
However, he never expected that Zu Ti's reality was tested by Tao Kan, and as a last resort, Zu Ti had no choice but to withdraw from Xichang at the same time, and sent someone to send news to Lian Jun who rushed over, asking him to change his plan and lead people to ambush in the Valley of the Desperate Soul.
In this way, Zu Ti made a plan and changed the main battlefield originally set in Xichang to the Valley of Absolute Souls.
It can be said that if it weren't for Tao Kan's soft ears, if it weren't for the generals under him who were eager for quick success, Tao Kan would not have ended up like this.
Well, Tao Kan and thousands of soldiers and horses were trapped in the Valley of Desperate Souls, and the reinforcements outside the valley were successively killed and retreated by Zuzhi Yang He.
It can be expected that it will not be long before this Luling County will change hands and be brought under Yao Yu's command.
As soon as he thought of these serial schemes, Lian Jun admired Zu Li even more.
