The Qiang people and the Xiaoyue clan also got the big cake painted by the Taiping Dao.

Zhang Ning told them that as long as they cooperated with Wusun and other people from the Western Regions and entered the Han Dynasty together, they would be able to divide the land of the Han Dynasty with them in the future, and they would no longer have to live in those poor areas.

They only had 50,000 people, so they dared to send troops and Yang Zhao to be tough, and the source of their confidence was Taiping Dao and the 400,000 army in the Western Regions.

There are so many people in the Western Regions, and the 50,000 people they confidently gather can fight at all, and there is no problem at all.

"It's finally here!"

Feng Ne said excitedly: "All ready, attack Yang Zhao's troops!" ”

When Fuqu Liba heard this, he also hurriedly prepared, their people from the Xiaoyue clan could kill at any time, and intercept Yang Zhao's westward team near Zhangye, even if they couldn't stop it, they would delay Yang Zhao's marching speed.

When the people of the Western Regions broke through the Yumen Pass and came in, and the inside and outside were combined, Fuqu Liba and Feng Ni thought that it would be easy to take down the big Han, and they basically had their hands.

——

Dichi is located on the edge of Qilian Mountain, is a county of Zhangye County, the county placed in the Western Han Dynasty, has been retained until now, in the south of Dichi through Qilian Mountain, is Xiaoyue's.

Although the Qilian Mountains are tall and cross the edge of the Hexi Corridor, there are still passages through the mountains and forests.

Yang Zhao led the troops to the outside of the pond, and did not enter the city, but only contacted the county order in the city to replace some supplies, and then continued to rush to the west, Yumen Pass is now very dangerous, and must be rescued as soon as possible.

The light and heavy cavalry rushed to Yumen Pass, which could only alleviate the temporary crisis, and if he wanted to completely alleviate it, he had to wait for his army to arrive and launch a full-scale counterattack.

When passing by Qilian Mountain, the army did not stop and continued to hurry.

But not long after they had gone, suddenly a burst of artillery rang out from the mountains and forests to the south.

Before they could recover, more than a dozen huge cannonballs shot out of the mountains and forests and fell into Yang Zhao's army, killing dozens of people in an instant.

Doesn't deal area damage.

But suddenly attacked, the soldiers on the march, a little confused.

The sudden cannon sound instantly alarmed Yang Zhao and the others.

"Quickly part, retreat to the north!"

Gao Ran's reaction was quick, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to withdraw from the range of the shells.

Although the soldiers were a little chaotic, they were still able to do what they ordered, and after listening to the order, they reacted quickly, turned around and retreated to the north, and as soon as they moved, the second row of shells came out of the mountain.

Rumble......

The shell fell to the ground and missed.

Zhangye County in Liangzhou, which is within their rule, is attacked on their own territory, which is a bit of a slap in the face, and the enemy still uses artillery to attack.

"Lord, it's been attacked!"

Fang Rui ran over and said.

Yang Zhao had already noticed the situation of the rear army, and said loudly: "The whole army is on alert and ready to fight." ”

After speaking, he rode his horse to the place where the cannonball fell, and saw more than twenty iron bullets, still on the ground, emitting white smoke.

"The enemy also has artillery, but this artillery, compared to ours, is much worse."

Gao Shun stepped forward and said.

Yang Zhao pondered, the one who can have artillery is probably Taiping Dao, could it be that the people of Taiping Dao are specifically attacking themselves here?

Just as he was thinking this, a sound of shouting and killing came from the mountain.

The 50,000 combined forces of Qiang Hu and Xiaoyue rushed down at the same time, and the momentum was still quite strong.

"That's the Qiang and the Yue."

Jia Xu looked over, narrowed his eyes and said: "Look at the formation, there are about 50,000 people, we don't have much communication with these Hu people, let alone resentment, they actually came to attack us?" ”

Zhang He said: "The most important thing is that there are only 50,000 people, and they dare to attack?" ”

This amount of troops to attack them is no different from seeking death.

Yang Zhao said: "It should be the people of Taiping Dao, who used them to prevent us from going to save Yumen Pass, let's fight!" ”

Just Qiang Hu and Yue's family, Yang Zhao is still in his eyes.

Seeing those artillery, and seeing that these Hu people dared to take the initiative to fight, they could probably guess the reason behind it.

Seeing that the enemy was rushing over, the soldiers in Yang Zhao's army immediately turned the muzzle of the cannon and stuffed the shell into the chamber of the cannon, so that they could see what the real artillery was.

Rumble!

A burst of artillery rang out.

The recoil shook the ground and kicked up a cloud of smoke.

More than a dozen shells hit the enemy at the same time, fell into the enemy's middle and exploded again, only to see the flames in the sky, the smoke of gunpowder everywhere, a large area of the enemy was blown away, and the sound of wailing echoed.

The enemies who were sprinting to kill them all stopped at this time, and looked up in disbelief to look ahead.

When they saw their own people who were killed by the bombing around them, their eyes widened, and their eyes were full of consternation.

How is it possible, it will be like this?

Didn't the people of Taiping Dao say that their artillery is very strong and fierce, and they can definitely destroy Yang Zhao, why is it that compared with Yang Zhao now, it is like a toy.

"These Hu people have been fooled by the Taiping Dao."

Yang Zhao shook his head lightly.

If it weren't for the Taiping Dao fooling them, they wouldn't have dared to do it directly against their troops.

Now more than ten shots have been fired, and the rest of the people have to stop the attack.

Frustrated Qu Liba said eagerly: "Retreat, quickly retreat." ”

In terms of weapons, they no longer have an advantage, Yang Zhao still has so many troops, this battle can't be fought at all, and there is no condition to fight, otherwise it will be to send people to the head.

Seeing that the Xiaoyue clan had run away, Qianghu didn't dare to stay, and Feng Ne hurriedly ordered a retreat.

They were originally vigorous, but before they could meet the Han army, they turned around and fled, and all the soldiers were in a mess at this time, and they all ran and retreated to the mountains.

Ju Yi smiled: "It's not even a fight yet." ”

Zhuge Liang asked, "Lord, shall we continue to move west?" ”

Xun You shook his head slightly and said: "Now that I am going west, I am just letting go of these Hu people, I am afraid that it will bring us a lot of follow-up trouble." ”

Yang Zhao thought it made sense, and thought about it for a while and said, "Fang Rui, you and I will take 20,000 people to stay, you leave first, rush to Yumen Pass as soon as possible, and help Meng Qi and them repel the enemy." ”

Jia Xu agreed: "This arrangement is fine!" ”

After all, those Hu people only have so much strength.

The 20,000 people led by Yang Zhao are enough to deal with it, and it is still the most important Yumen Pass.

"I'll deal with them, I'll go and meet you as soon as possible, if you send the people from the Western Regions away before I arrive, don't fight for the time being, and make arrangements when I come." Yang Zhao said again.

"Yes!"

Everyone said in unison.

Then, they left.

Leaving 20,000 people, as well as two artillery pieces and three mortars, although it is not much, it is no problem to fight with Qianghu and Yueshi.

"Yang Zhao, what are you going to do?"

Feng Ni and they retreated to the mountains and forests, but did not leave completely, staying on the mountains and continuing to look at Yang Zhao's army.

Frustrated Qu Liba said: "It should be that the Yumen Pass is more critical, Yang Zhao asked people to save it, leaving only 20,000 people to deal with us, he also underestimated us, right?" ”

While they were talking, Yang Zhao began to lead his troops and go to the mountains and forests to kill.
