The army of 70,000 was mighty, and the battle was in front of the Buxi Road pass......

Xiao Tian's hands couldn't stop shaking, he tried to calm down, but he didn't listen to the call. The other soldiers beside him saw it, and there was a hint of panic in their eyes about the face of death - they had never been in such a desperate situation......

"What's wrong?" In a panic, Hu Yidi suddenly ran from the rear camp, and when he heard a lot of movement on the front line, Hu Yidi couldn't let go.

Xiao Tian and Su Jia did not answer immediately, but continued to stare at the Mengyuan troops in front of them like a torrent. Although the enemy army has not yet launched a charge, but only waits, its grandeur and the oppression of the sky have made the soldiers present feel suffocated by the imminent death.

Hu Yidi also understood the situation in front of him, and he never admitted defeat, and said angrily: "Yan Jitai, this guy is really cunning, he actually focused the attack of the main army on the west ......."

"The trickery of the soldiers, it seems that this time we were all calculated by the other party......" Su Jia said lifelessly.

Hu Yidi turned his head to look at Xiao Tian, who hadn't made any moves, and then asked, "Brother Canglong, what should I do now?"

Xiao Tian clenched his fists, remembering the tips Lu Jing gave him before leaving, which he used urgently when he was in danger. Xiao Tian showed the firm expression that a general of the first army should have, and said without hesitation: "Order the whole army to defend the Western Road, even if you die, you can't let Meng Yuan's army cross here!"

Hu Yidi smiled and said bitterly: "Hmph, okay, Brother Canglong really has the backbone." I, Hu Yidi, would like to raise my sword to live and die with you, and kill Meng Yuan Yidi more!"

However. Although Xiao Tian's expression was firm, his eyes changed slightly. He quietly opened Lu Jing's bag, and after being silent for a while, he replied to Hu Yidi: "You can say whatever you want, but Brother Hu, it's better for you to sit in the back camp, just have me and Jia'er to guard here-"

Hu Yidi, who had always been belligerent, was a little unhappy when he heard this, and retorted and asked: "Why? Now that the army is pressing, you still let me stand by in the rear camp? Our army is only 3,000, but the other side has a mighty army of 70,000 -- this situation also splits the troops. Isn't it self-defeating?"

"Our purpose is not to kill the enemy, but to delay-" Xiao Tian looked at the huge Meng Yuan division in front of him, and said firmly, "Brother Hu, you will respond in the back and wait for the marshal's main force to enter the customs...... The main force in front of us is delaying here at the West Pass, and although the enemy force has 70,000 people, the West Pass is so small that it is impossible for them to rush up at once...... As long as we delay until reinforcements arrive in the rear, we have hope!"

"That doesn't move me to the back camp either. Stay away from the battlefield!" Hu Yidi still said unwillingly, "The rear camp is on standby, whoever likes to go, I won't leave!"

"This is a military order!" Xiao Tian suddenly ordered loudly, "This is not a river and lake. It's a battlefield! If you don't obey military orders, you will be dealt with by military law, even if you are a brother!" Xiao Tian rarely said such a deadly word as today.

If it is said to be a general situation. When Xiao Tian said this, everyone must have felt that Xiao Tian was too unsympathetic. I don't even recognize my brothers and friends. But today is different, facing the choice of life and death. Xiao Tian still carried the lives of 3,000 soldiers on his shoulders, and now he said such "ruthless" words, which shows the extremely heavy pressure brought to him by the dangerous situation of the war.

From Xiao Tian's eyes, Hu Yidi saw Xiao Tian's seriousness, carrying an extremely heavy mission and sense of responsibility, and it was precisely because he was a brother that he said such a thing to himself. Hu Yidi knew right and wrong, the military situation was dangerous, and he couldn't allow himself to act according to his temperament, so he calmed down a little and said seriously: "I know, I'll go to the rear camp now to stand by and wait for news of reinforcements...... The 70,000 army is not a joke, you and Miss Su should be careful - if you are brothers, you will carry it down for me, if you die, I will not spare you!" The last sentence also showed Hu Yidi's seriousness.

Xiao Tian nodded, didn't say anything more, the trust between the brothers was just one action......

It is said that the 70,000 troops of Meng Yuan pressed the border, approaching the narrow mouth of Qiling Guanxi Road, and the 3,000 infantry led by Xiao Tian was difficult to resist. However, the narrow pass of the western road is a dangerous place, and it is difficult for the cavalry to penetrate deeply, and if it is dealt with properly, it is not impossible to delay. Just 3,000 infantry to block 70,000 lions, the difficulty is unpredictable......

At the Mengyuan position, the main general is Tan Youhu, who failed in the last night attack, as the main general. The strange thing is that Yan Jitai Bazaduo, who was supposed to lead the army in person, seems to be absent, and even the military advisor Li Chengsheng is nowhere to be seen. The main force of 70,000 is imminent, and it stands to reason that the main general should not be in charge in person - the 70,000 army attacking the narrow pass of the West Road has surprised everyone, and no one can guess what Yan Jitai will do next......

Tan Youhu looked at the scattered defenders at the Xidao Narrow, and said without paying attention to it: "Lord Yan Jitai really didn't guess wrong, there are not many defenses on the Xidao Narrow, and they wouldn't expect that we would violate the common way of the art of war and forcibly attack with the unfavorable terrain." It just so happened that they didn't expect it, and only sent a small number of men and horses to guard the west road. As long as this point is broken, it can not only greatly damage the morale of the enemy army, but also take advantage of the natural danger of the western road to outflank the enemy's rear road, killing two birds with one stone, hum-"

"General, just now the spies from the front came to report, and they roughly looked at the enemy army at the narrow mouth of the West Road, the number is only two or three thousand, and it is easy for our army to take it-" Tan Youhu's side, a close soldier reported quietly.

"Hmph, hmph-" Tan Youhu continued to laugh contemptuously, "Three thousand men, if you want to resist our army's 70,000 divisions, what will be the result, huh? hahaha-"

Tan Youhu smiled like this, and the other soldiers beside him also laughed, as if they felt that the defenders of the vanguard army in the narrow mouth of the West Road were not vulnerable at all.

Tan Youhu quietly looked at the terrain of the narrow mouth of the West Road where the yellow sand had dispersed, and then said: "Although the enemy army is only two or three thousand, after all, there is a terrain advantage in the narrow pass, and it is not good at cavalry deployment...... Meaning, let the five thousand cavalry storm the West Road, I will let them stain their mouths with blood, so as to avenge my defeat last time!"

Tan Youhu still holds a grudge, not forgetting the defeat calculated by Lu Jing last time, this time seizing the opportunity, Tan Youhu will be ashamed. The military order was immediately issued, and the 5,000 cavalry troops were ready to go, waiting for the order at any time. Because they didn't take the defenders of the West Pass into account. Therefore, the chief general in the army also arranged an inexperienced young man at random.

"Let's go!" Tan Youhu finally ordered, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves like the beat of a drum. The 5,000 Mengyuan cavalry charged towards the narrow pass of the West Road......

At the narrow entrance of the West Road, Xiao Tian's troops were still guarding as before. The pass was guarded by several layers of infantry with shields to prevent enemy bows and arrows. But this time, Meng Yuan rushed through the narrow mouth with 5,000 cavalry, close to this layer of "thin paper" defense line, and could not intercept it at all......

The speed of the Mengyuan cavalry was very fast, traveling thousands of miles in one day and night, and the short distance from Xuzhou Chengguan to the Xidao Narrow Pass was only a moment. When he arrived at the front pass of the narrow mouth, he saw that the direction of the vanguard army was just "paper paste", and Meng Yuan's cavalry did not pay attention to it at all.

"Kill—" shouted the cavalry general. The five thousand Mengyuan iron horsemen galloped to speed up, like a torrent, and rushed towards the narrow road like a crack in the embankment.

When Xiao Tian's guards saw this, they panicked, immediately threw away their shields, turned around and fled into the depths of the narrow mouth, without any ability to resist or even kill the enemy......

"Hahahaha, Zhu Yuanzhang's troops are simply rabbits, and the soldiers under him don't even have the courage at all...... Kill me. Kill them without a single piece of armor, and I will have the main general who will capture them alive!" shouted the cavalry leader in contempt at the overwhelming superiority.

The scattered troops of the Western Road guards were still fleeing inward, and the vanguard of the Mengyuan cavalry had already rushed into the narrow pass. In just a few steps, you will reach the center of the defenders......

"Whew-" Suddenly, the strings sounded out of nowhere, and several reins were pulled up at the bottom of the narrow passage. Impartially tripped the hooves of the Mengyuan cavalry.

"Hoo-hoo-" Meng Yuan's cavalry formation suddenly howled, and the vanguard troops in the front row fell down suddenly. The cavalry formation could not be used in the narrow road, but now it is in chaos. It's even more out of control.

And the speed of the front army is also extremely fast, the speed of the rear follow-up is not reduced, the front suffers, and the rear wants to brake it is difficult - sure enough, within an hour, the five thousand Mengyuan cavalry entered the pass in turn, the front formation was chaotic, and the rear was chaotic in a group, and the battle had not yet started, and the Mengyuan cavalry was already in chaos......

"Knock-knock-knock......" There was a premonitable sound, and the fallen and unfallen Meng Yuan soldiers looked to both sides one by one, only to see the mountain roads on both sides of the narrow road, and suddenly rolled down countless huge boulders. Now the cavalry here at the narrow pass is scattered, falling and mixed together, and it is impossible to spread even if it is scattered, just like a dead knot, it cannot be broken at all. Now the boulders on both sides are attacking, and the scattered Mengyuan troops can only wait for death......

"Ahh............h

"Kill-" In an instant, earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded on both sides of the crossing, although the vanguard army had only 3,000 troops, but at the narrow mouth of the western road, its momentum was also huge. After a while, thousands of soldiers suddenly appeared from both sides of the mountain road, charging out along the trajectory of the boulder rolling.

Although the enemy army numbered 5,000 men, most of them were already turtles in the urn, and they fell to the ground and could not save themselves, and the remaining surviving troops were no longer able to fight, and stepped over the corpses of their own troops, and hurried to escape from the gap......

"Roar-" A dragon's roar shook the sky, and Xiao Tian suddenly struck out from the middle of the narrow mouth, and took the lead in the heart of the enemy. Canglongzhang "Broken Yue Tianlong" poured out of the mountains and seas, and the two Cangwen dragons turned over the river and the sea from the narrow mouth of the West Road, ups and downs, and rushed straight to the scattered Mengyuan soldiers, and the casualties were uncertain. Wails and screams echoed through the valley, and with the exception of a few troops who escaped from the narrow pass, almost all the rest of the men and horses were buried at the bottom of the narrow mouth of the West Road......

And Tan Youhu, who was in the main army of Mengyuan, was completely ignorant of the battle situation on the front line, and vaguely heard the screams of the soldiers at the narrow mouth of the West Road, and thought that his army had won a complete victory, and the whole person put on a smiling face leisurely......

But after two hours, the shouting and killing of the West Road stopped more and more, and the victory and defeat were already known......

"Why is there no news ahead?" Tan Youhu was a little impatient with the others, and reflexively said to the soldiers beside him.

The soldier didn't think about answering, but soon after, a few scattered cavalry returned to the army in front of the yellow sand.

Tan Youhu should have been waiting for the good news with a smile on his face, but who would have thought that the main generals of the Mengyuan cavalry would come back, with a total of less than fifty people, all of whom were bloodshot and looked like they had lost their armor.

Tan Youhu withdrew his smile, as if he had guessed, and then asked bluntly, "What is the result?"

The cavalry general who came back was a little afraid to answer, and said: "Our army is deeply ambushed by the enemy, and the five thousand cavalry are ...... Whole...... All buried ......"

Tan Youhu smiled slightly...... Suddenly, the sword light and sword shadow were instantaneous, and he almost didn't scare the person next to him - Tan Youhu didn't say a word, and directly cut off the head of the rider with a knife. The sword was shot in an instant, fast and accurate, and the blood quickly soaked the entire battle platform.

The audience was very quiet, and no one dared to take the initiative to say more at this time......

Tan Youhu didn't expect that the 5,000 troops would lose so completely. He wiped the blood on the knife and said to himself: "Hmph, it seems that I underestimated them, taking advantage of the terrain and the rare crowd, I can actually eat 5,000 people of our army...... It's no wonder that Lord Yan Jitai would arrange all the 70,000 main forces here, if this plan is also done by Tang Zhan and Lu Jing, I will definitely have their heads!" Tan Youhu's voice became more and more resentful, it can be said that he already hated Tang Zhan and Lu Jing to the extreme. Although the main general who led the army to guard the Western Road was Xiao Tian, this plan was indeed set up by Lu Jing......

After a moment, Tan Youhu walked to the side of the Eight Neighbors and Tuo Eryu again, and laughed softly: "The last time you and I were defeated at the Qiling Pass, General Beisu died in battle, we are still unwilling, right...... Now is the opportunity for revenge, I let you lead 20,000 elite soldiers to storm the narrow mouth of the West Road, I still don't believe that his only two or three thousand troops can be so powerful that they can go against the heavens - if 20,000 horses can't eat the opponent's defenders, you come to me with your head!" Tan Youhu roared at the last sentence.

"Yes, the last general obeys the order-" Tan Youhu's military position was already higher than that of the Eight Neighbors, which was the case in the Battle of Qiling Pass, and now that Tan Youhu has issued a military order, the Eight Neighbors dare not disobey......

Reorganize the men and horses, and this time the Mengyuan army sent 20,000 elite troops to charge......

At the narrow entrance of the West Road, Xiao Tian's troops were still simply dealing with the scene......

Although he agreed to this battle, Xiao Tian didn't seem to be happy too early, because he knew that after this battle, Meng Yuan's troops would continue to attack. And in order to deal with these 5,000 Mengyuan troops, the defenders of the Xidao Narrow Pass have almost exhausted their methods, and how should they deal with the next charge of more Mengyuan troops......

Xiao Tian looked at the corpses of the enemy soldiers disposed of at the scene, and his whole face was a little sad. Su Jia came from the side at this time, and saw that Su Jia's face and body were covered with dense blood splashes, which showed that Su Jia had killed the enemy with blood just now.

"What's the matter, Ah Tian?" asked Su Jia, still as concerned as ever.

Xiao Tian shook his head, his heart was a little scattered, and then he said: "This wave of charges is blocked, but what about the next wave...... The clever plan given by Jing Mei is limited, this first wave of enemy troops has been used, and the next wave will come again, if the marshal's backup is not available, we will only wait for death here-"

Su Jia also felt that the situation was tense, and then said: "I can only take one step at a time, and the trick also says that the falling boulder can be used as an ambush to hinder the formation, and this may be able to ease the enemy's charge...... We can only pray now that the enemy doesn't charge again so soon......"

Xiao Tian looked at Su Jia's eyes, looked at the blood splashed on Su Jia's face, and looked a little sad - this was the first time Xiao Tian looked at Su Jia, and he had killed so badly, maybe Su Jia himself realized that this time the killing of the enemy was far more tragic than when he fought alone against thousands of troops in Lingguan City.

Xiao Tian subconsciously wiped the blood from Su Jia's face with his hand, Su Jia saw it in his eyes, and his heart revealed a warmth in suffering......

"Oh no, the Mengyuan army is here again!" However, before Xiao Tian and Su Jia or even the whole army could react, there was bad news about the war ahead...... (To be continued......)
