"If we had set up an ambush when we first came, it might have worked, but now that we are familiar with these dozens of miles, we can't say who ambushed whom. Ding Kui looked at his subordinates in all cavalry armor, "Send a few more squadrons, is one brigade capable of keeping us?"

"No!" Ba Xi shouted with his arms raised.

The bald man startled the people around him, seeing that only he was shouting, everyone was staring at him, Ba Xi embarrassedly touched the top of his head, pulled a little tight neckline, his body was too big, and the newly made fine armor did not fit so well.

"Hahaha, that's a good point! Just our Ba Xi can kill a squad alone, and coming to a squad is also giving us credit. Ding Kui smiled and relieved Ba Xi.

In the first squadron, Ba Xi's combat exploits are not much less than those of Xu Yan, Ji Xing and other squad leaders, he has been closely following Ding Kui to rush and kill, the number of enemy soldiers who died in his hands is second only to Ding Kui, if Ding Kui hadn't killed most of the officers, his combat exploits would have been more.

"Let's go!" Ding Kui gave an order, and the first squadron rode out of the barracks along the exit passage guided by the officer on duty.

Among Xue Chong's subordinates, only the first squadron is still fully organized, and these one hundred and one people are lined up, running down like a net.

After passing through the middle line between the lower hanging pass and the blockade camp, Ding Kui and the others reduced their horse speed, and when passing through the woods and the higher soil slope, Ding Kui and Ao Yu had to observe for a while to make sure that there was no one in ambush in the blind spot before passing, because at this time, the probability of the Meng army was increasing, and a skirmish could break out at any time.

Not only did the first squadron leave the camp, but the second and third squadrons followed their left and right flanks at an interval of about a mile, advancing towards the gate in a zigzag formation.

"After the village in front, we entered the ten miles of Xiahang Pass, why didn't we encounter the enemy along the way?" Ji Xing ran a few steps faster and stepped forward to discuss with Ding Kui.

Ding Kui turned his head to look at Ao Yu, Ao Yu nodded at him, and then he said to Ji Xing: "Let's go to the village to rest for a while, I feel that today is not normal, maybe something will happen." ”

After the "Helian Jade Wall" was built, all the villages near the west side of the wall were abandoned, and the aborigines all moved into their cities, and those who had money and relatives moved to the interior of Nannuma Prefecture, as far away from the battlefield as possible, so the village that Ding Kui and the others entered was uninhabited.

"It's good to take this stupid dragon with me, otherwise I will lose at least seven or eight of my subordinates, the trip to get the fire jade was worth it, this group of people in my hometown is the most reliable partner on the battlefield. Ding Kui couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It is not a problem for a village to hide 1,000 or hundreds of people, and there are not many squadron leaders who can confirm that there is no ambush in such a short time like Ding Kui, so the first squadron is the easiest squadron to go out of the task.

"No one stayed in this village last night, but we didn't leave the camp last night, and the enemy didn't even send out secret sentinels?" Jin Yan carefully searched the village for safety.

"Well, be careful, this place is so close to the lower hanging pass, it stands to reason that you must set up eyeliner, otherwise our army will suddenly kill you, and the enemy will not have time to warn at all. "Happy Huai has a lot of acquaintances with Ding Kui, and now he will take the initiative to express his opinions.

"Yes, the defenders of the lower pass will definitely not evacuate, there is no reason to leave such a big security hazard for themselves, can they be 100% sure that our division will not attack the gate? Or do they firmly believe that the base camp will not send reinforcements here? No matter how you look at it, it looks like a trap. Sun Lie is also actively performing.

"What do you two think?" Ding Kui saw Ji Xing and Xu Yan come up, showing the side of the audience.

Ji Xing was not polite, and said first: "There is no garrison here to Xiahang Pass, if there is a large army, we can quickly find out, and if there is an ambush, it can only be behind us, and there is no one in front." ”

"Hehe, what is the purpose of the enemy army? Captain Ji didn't say it, I see that the defenders on the pass are busy with something, and I guess they forgot about it for a night, in fact, we don't have to doubt so much. "Xu Yan and everyone else have a different opinion.

"Why do you study so much, just this little distance, we will kill it with one charge, just kill it directly and see it, and we will run when we encounter a large army." "Peng believes in the most straightforward solution.

"Hehe, what Peng Zhu said this time makes sense, they all came here to pull, we can't run back and say that we haven't seen any enemy soldiers, so we rush over at high speed, if not, turn around and come back, I believe the enemy can't keep us." Ding Kui agreed with Peng Zhu's opinion, he didn't bother to think about it himself, the current situation exceeded his experience and inheritance, and he simply chose a straightforward routine.

After sending someone to inform the two squadrons behind him, Ding Kui led his troops to leave the village, and after stepping on the main road, ten cavalry formations lined up in a column, accelerated and ran down the pass.

The journey of ten miles was less than a cup of tea, and Ding Kui and they actually rushed all the way unhindered and rushed directly to the lower hanging pass.

"No, the banner of the enemy's garrison has changed. Ding Kui didn't dare to get too close to the gate, and looked at the situation on the upper floor of the gate from a distance, "Where did the Meng Ninth Army go? Now it is the banner of the Meng Fourth Army that guards the pass. ”

"Meng's Ninth Army has withdrawn, it is not surprising that they pulled down to rest and recuperate, they suffered heavy losses in Wanggui City, and all the baggage of the Legion was abandoned in Huashan County, so they needed to be replenished in the rear. Jin Yan is familiar with military books, and his analysis is the first to be true.

"No, it's bad! Meng's Ninth Legion walked in a hurry, and they didn't change their guard carefully with Meng's Fourth Legion, don't forget that they are good at night marching, if they had set off yesterday afternoon, they would have been able to kill the wingers at this time. Retreat! Immediately go back and report to the division commander. Ding Kui's reaction was extremely fast, and based on the known clues, he thought of the disappearance of the main force of the Meng army, and deduced that the Meng Ninth Army might run to the Wing Pass to join the large army.

The first squadron ran back at a faster speed, and the second and third squadrons behind them were startled, thinking that there was a large army in the lower hanging pass, and hurriedly ran after it.

"Are you sure?" asked Zhang Jie with a serious expression.

"The subordinates are 100% sure that the defenders of Xiahangguan have been replaced by the Meng Fourth Legion, and from what we have observed along the way, it is very likely that the Meng Ninth Army will change its defense before dark yesterday. Ding Kui personally went to the Chinese army's big tent to report.

"It seems that the military order of the command is correct, and the main force of the Meng army is really moving south. "Liangchong is also in the big tent of the Chinese army, and he has the habit of studying and analyzing the military orders of the headquarters, "The Meng army needs to take the winger pass and block the camp in the shortest possible time, and then storm Zhongguan City, and occupy Zhongguan City before the arrival of the vanguard of our army, and then use the camp and Zhongguan City as horns to block each other, and block the main force of our army with a small number of troops."
