Chapter 227: Kill them all

"Let them come here directly."

Nan Jiyun was a little surprised and didn't know what happened. Yan Zhuang smiled and said, "Is Du Mozhi unwilling to be lonely and should do it first?"

At this time, the scouts Qin Haiyang and Feng Silang were brought in. The two of them half-kneeled and saluted: "See General!"

"What information did you two find?"

"We found a Tuqishi army of about 3,000 people heading north. We thought they were going to attack Beishencheng, but found that they had crossed the five-city defense line at night and heading north. We had been with them for more than 200 miles and rushed back when we saw them entering the territory of Geluo."

Nan Jiyun couldn't think of the intention of rushing the cavalry to the north for a long time. At this time, Yan Zhuang asked: "You can tell me the details again, and there is no possibility of missing them at all."

Qin Haiyang then told the details of the discovery of the enemy situation and finally said: "We found that the Tuqi Shiren actually brought a long ladder, so we thought they were here to attack the five cities, but they found something wrong and went north."

Yan Zhuang couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Nan Jiyun waved his hand and asked them to go down, indicating that they would give them a reward. The two of them gave a gift and went down.

"I'm worried that they are going to attack Jinman County."

After a moment of silence, Yan Zhuang finally spoke, "Surprising attack on Jinman County and disrupting the deployment of the envoy to recover the Shattered Leaf."

"What should I do?" Nan Jiyun said anxiously.

"Now you send someone to inform the envoy immediately, asking him to defend himself, but not to be fooled by the enemy."

"I understand, I'll send someone to deliver the letter!"

There are eight large and small guard castles distributed between the long deep valley grasslands of Jinman County to Gongyue City. The Tang army stationed 3,000 people in these guard castles. They formed a defense line and jointly maintained the security of the northern line of the Silk Road. On the east side of a desert, there is a saltwater lake covering an area of ​​thousands of hectares, called Huangcaopo, which is today's Abi Lake. After passing through the difficult desert, the merchants would immediately see the vast blue lake and feel full of vitality. Therefore, the merchants called it the Lake of Life.

There is a wide open mountain pass about fifty miles northwest of Huangcaopo, crossing the Jinshan Mountains. There is no people a hundred miles away. That night, a group of black cavalry crossed the mountain pass and appeared beside Huangcao Lake. This was a cavalry team dressed in Uighur robes, with about three thousand people, full of murderous intent. They passed Huangcaopo and rushed towards the Xilin guard commander a hundred miles away.

Xilin Shogun is the smaller of the eight Shogun Castles, with more than 100 Tang soldiers. The castle was led by a guard and envoy. The castle was built against the mountain and could accommodate more than 300 people. It was very solid. There was a beacon tower on the top of the mountain three miles away. In the early morning, the Tang army in the castle sent more than a dozen sentries to patrol the surroundings as usual. The camel bell rang, and a team of mobile vendors composed of dozens of camels came from afar. The soldiers immediately cheered. The arrival of mobile vendors meant that they would make a small fortune, which meant that women and urgently needed items came. The soldiers ran back to their lodge to get the fur and argas heads they had hunted.

Soon, mobile vendors arrived and set up tents beside the castle, and all kinds of items were placed all over the ground. Several fat prostitutes of Hu Niang stood beside a tent and stole their heads, seducing the soldiers. The soldiers went forward to trade one after another. Some soldiers hurried into the prostitute tent as soon as they got the money.

The captain's surname is Hu, and he is an old army in his forties. The day before yesterday, the main force of the Tang army had just passed, and they finally relaxed. It was rare to be so relaxed. He put a few handfuls in his pocket and walked quickly towards the prostitute's tent. At this moment, a harsh alarm sound of ringing the bell suddenly came from the castle, "Dang! Dang! Dang1'

Someone was shouting: "Beijinghuo, three pots of beijinghuo!"

Hu Shouzhao was shocked and looked up at the beacon tower on the top of the mountain. He saw three black smoke soaring into the sky. This was an alarm that a large group of enemy troops were attacking. The soldiers were panicked and ran desperately into the castle. Several Hu girls also screamed and ran with the Tang army. They were barefoot and their dresses were not in order. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves like thunder suddenly came from afar. A large group of cavalry turned around the valley, with sword lights flashing, and came here!

"It's the Uighurs, the Uighurs are here!"

Hu Shouqiao's eyes were red with an anxious eye. He grabbed a soldier and shouted: "Go and ask the governor for help, go!"

The soldiers rolled over their horses and ran westward. In an instant, the overwhelming Uighur cavalry came and swallowed up more than a dozen Tang soldiers and vendors who had no time to escape. The Tang army castle was already closed, and arrows were like rain on the castle, but these Uighurs seemed to be ready. Long ladders were quickly assembled. They held their shields high and rushed towards the castle like crazy wolves in the rain of Tang army's arrows.

At noon the next day, Li Qing'an led 5,000 cavalry back like lightning. The battle had already ended. The castle collapsed and the burning fire had been extinguished. The burning wood and corpses were still emitting green smoke. Li Qing'an entered the castle with a blue face. The castle was in a mess. The ground was full of headless Tang army corpses, without enemy corpses. Dozens of women caught along the way and Hu Niang hiding in the castle were raped and killed. They were naked and hung high on the city wall. All the military supplies and soldiers' money and goods in the castle were looted, and even the armor on the soldiers was stripped away.

"Report to the general, only five soldiers who were patrolling outside survived, and the remaining 144 brothers were all killed by the Uighurs!"

Li Qing'an's face was extremely gloomy, and he slowly clenched his fists. Nan Jiyun's timely report made him know about the conspiracy of Dumozhi, and he dressed up as a Uighurs to sneak attack Beiting, trying to disrupt his plan to attack Saiye.

"Catch the people sent by Nan Jiyun!"

After a moment, Qin Haiyang and Feng Silang, who were sent by the soldiers in the future, came up, and they hurriedly bowed half to Li Qing'an.

"I'll ask you, do you still remember the route they came?"

"Remember, we all make marks!"

"Okay!" Li Qing'an turned around and ordered: "Transfer my order, intercept this army from the front, kill me all, and do not accept any surrender!"

The brigade of Tang troops immediately turned their horses and rushed westward.

The mountain pass northwest of Huangcaopo is today's Alashan Pass. More than a dozen Tang army scouts chased after the fresh horse hoof prints and left the mountain pass. The traces of the cavalry went south. It was obvious that the purpose of the thunder cavalry was achieved, and they returned to Shattered Leaf.

The one who led this army of the Tang army sneaked into the hinterland of the Tang army was Wupei Modagan, one of the adopted sons of Dumozhi. His joy and complacent success made him want to return to Suoye immediately. Before leaving, his adopted father Dumozhi told him that if he could complete the task beautifully, he could inherit the position of Chief Shi Shi.

In order to succeed in this sneak attack, Wupei Modagan started preparing a month ago. He sent people to dress up as a merchant and herdsman, went deep into Huangcaobo and Xilin guards to explore the terrain and the Tang army's garrison, and obtained a lot of information. It was thanks to this meticulous information that he was able to succeed in one blow.

At the same time, he had to admire his adoptive father's strategy. The Tuqi Shiren and the Uighurs were branches of the Turks, with similar appearances and similar languages. If they put on the Uighurs' clothes, they could indeed be fake and real. In addition, they attacked from the north, which would make the Tang army mistakenly think that the Uighurs launched an attack on Beiting. In this way, the Tang army's plan to attack Saiye would be disrupted. After a month or two, Dashi's reinforcements would arrive.

The more Wu Pei Modagan thought about it, the more proud he became, and he actually laughed. It was a pity that he was unable to meet a few Han women this time, which made him regret.

At this time, a sudden riot occurred in the cavalry team in front. This is the Huoyun Valley Pass. The Huoyun Valley is about ten miles long, wide in the north and narrow in the south, and about one mile wide in the south. Five miles ahead of the valley is the Yili River. It is located between Fengming City and Gongyue City of the Tang army, about thirty miles away from Fengming City. The Yili River in this area is shallow, so you can ride a horse and wader by water directly.

It was dusk at this time, and the sky was still red, with fire glows coming from under the floating clouds. Groups of gray birds flew past their heads, making shrill screams, flying towards the nest on the cliff, but they could not get out of the valley and were congested in the valley.

"What happened?" Wu Peimodagan urged him to come forward and asked sternly.

"The road ahead is blocked!" someone shouted, "I was blocked by dozens of big rocks."

Wu Pei Modagan was shocked. This area was deserted and there was no heavy rain recently, so how could there be heavy rocks blocking the road?

A feeling of uneasiness arose in Wupei Modagan's heart. He looked up at both sides of the valley. There were towering cliffs on both sides, towering trees, and huge shadows dragged down by the cliff, which looked particularly groggy.

"Take the big stone away quickly and pass immediately!"

With the order of Wu Pei Modagan, hundreds of people jumped off their horses and moved forward to carry stones. At this moment, a clapper sound was heard, and suddenly thousands of arrows were fired in the woods on both sides. A dense rain of arrows shot towards the Tuqi Shi army surrounded by the valley entrance. The Tuqi Shi cavalry was not wary and suddenly wailed. A large number of soldiers were caught in the arrows and fell from the horse. The powerful armored armor shot through their leather armor and shot through their heads. Wu Pei Modagan was shot into the thigh with an arrow and turned over and fell off the horse.

He endured the severe pain and shouted: "Retreat quickly! Go back!"

The cavalrymen of the thunder cavalry were so scared that they turned their horses to their heads, used their shields to resist the rain of arrows, and fled north desperately. They ran less than two miles away. A human wall appeared in front of them, intercepting their retreat.

These are a thousand heavy armored Mo Dao Army soldiers. They are all burly and powerful. They hold a two-meter-long Mo Dao in their hands, and are covered with heavy armor with blue light. Only a pair of extremely cold eyes are revealed on their faces, like a group of hunters staring at the prey falling into the trap.

Behind the Thousand Modao Army were three thousand archers. He held a horn crossbow in his hand and blocked the empty spaces on both sides. Their commander had already ordered to kill them all without leaving any living mouths. Today's Huoyun Valley is the cemetery where the chasing people were.

"Dong!" The drum sounded, slowly and powerful, "Dong!Dong!" Accompanied by the heavy drum sound, the Modao Army approached the Thunder Cavalry who broke through step by step. Every step was so shocking, and every step was so imposing.

At this time, someone from the Tuqi Shishi shouted, "Run out!"

The cavalry and cavalry launched, and they knew that only by rushing out could there be hope for life. The instinct of escape made them desperately. They raised their long swords, danced their spears, and rushed towards the Tang army frantically, like a storm, but the Modao Army remained towering like a mountain.

Wu Pei Modagan took the lead. He waved his spear, roared, and stabbed the leader of the Tang army. The leader of the Modao Army was the general Tian Zhen. He shouted loudly, and the fierce sword slashed head-on. The sword was fierce, and immediately slashed Wu Pei Modagan who rushed to him and his horse into two halves. Blood splattered and internal organs flowed.

Mo Dao's long sword swung, advance step by step, with the sword light and blood slashing or stabbing, invincible. The cavalry of the Tucai rolled to the ground with their broken heads and wailing sounds across the valley. Behind them and on both sides, the Tang army arrows were like locusts, causing them to suffer heavy casualties. The injured Tucai's man knelt down on the ground and begged hard, but was still slashed into pieces by the Mo Dao's army lined up, blood flowing into rivers, and corpses were piled up. The Huoyun Valley became a slaughterhouse on earth.

On the top of the mountain, Li Qing'an rode on the horse and stared at the massacre expressionlessly in the valley. The setting sun was as bloody as the sun, and the afterglow dyed the top of the mountain red. The screams of despair and miserable crying sounded in the valley. Li Qing'an was unmoved at all. Duan Xiushi beside him felt a little reluctant and whispered: "General, why not accept their surrender!"

Li Qingan glanced at him coldly, and Duan Xiushi was silent and dared not speak.
