Chapter 480 0477 [Qingpi Road, Baishan Mountain! 】

The sun is rising.

After running around all night, Wan Yan Huo Nu finally arrived in Weizhou.

After resting briefly and feeding the war horse, he set off again.

Not long after walking along the official road, a group of broken soldiers appeared in front of them.

Wanyan Huonv's heart suddenly thumped, and she secretly said something bad.

The number of the defeated army was small, only about a hundred, and all of them looked frightened and embarrassed.

When these defeated troops saw the cavalry coming, they turned pale with fright and fled in all directions.

However, when the cavalry approached and saw the attire clearly, they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

After reining in the horse's reins and stopping the horse steadily, Wan Yan Huo Nu asked with a gloomy face: "Which army are you a soldier from?"

A soldier replied: "General, we are soldiers of the Zhongxiao Army."

"Why did you escape?"

Wan Yan Huo Nu asked again, with a chill in her tone.

Hearing this, the colors of the defeated army suddenly changed. The soldier who had just answered quickly explained: "General, it was not us who escaped before the battle. The army marched to the foot of Hengshan Mountain and was ambushed by the Qi army. During the melee, we got separated from the army. ”

really!

Wanyan Huonv was shocked and angry. She suppressed the murderous intention in her heart and said sternly: "How many enemy soldiers are there? Where is the commander of the Zhongxiao Army?"

"The enemy has tens of thousands of cavalry, and there are tens of thousands of ambushes in Mount Heng. As for where the general is, we don't know."

Swish!
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold light flashed through.

The soldier's head flew high into the sky, and a column of blood spurted out.

Wan Yan Huo Nu's expression was cold: "How dare you lie about military information, you will be killed according to military law!"

Tens of thousands of cavalry, plus tens of thousands of infantry.

You know, the entire West Route Army only has a total of 13,000 cavalry.

This strike frightened the rest of the defeated army, and they looked at Wan Yan Huo Nu with horrified expressions.

Wanyan Huonu stared at the defeated troops with her bloodthirsty eyes, and asked again in a cold tone: "How many enemy troops are there?"

"General, we really don't know. We only saw thick smoke billowing, and there seemed to be thousands of troops and horses. The power was astonishing."

Hearing this, Wan Yan Huo Nu's brain raced and she thought it must be a cover-up.

It is impossible for Qi State to have so many cavalry appearing quietly in the rear of Yuzhou.

Otherwise, if there were so many cavalry, would they still need to ambush Wanyan Sheye's horse?

Wouldn't it be better to launch a sudden surprise attack just when his father evacuated Shenwu Town?

Thinking of this, Wanyan Huonv asked the question she was most concerned about: "Where is the Pearl King?"

The defeated troops looked confused, obviously unaware.

At this moment, a soldier replied: "Back to the general, King Zhenzhu is dead... dead."

"died?"

Wanyan Huonu's heart trembled, and the hand holding the steel knife couldn't help but tremble.

"I saw with my own eyes that the Pearl King fell off his horse and was trampled to death."

hiss!
Wan Yanhuo Nu took a deep breath, and suddenly said with a ferocious smile: "In that case, why are you still alive?"

"General, it's none of our business!"

"General, spare your life!"

"..."

Facing the begging for mercy from the defeated troops, Wan Yanhuo Nu was unmoved and waved her hand: "No one will be left alive!"

These defeated armies were not Jurchens, but Khitan and Han'er.

If you kill, you will kill.

After receiving the military order, the cavalry behind them suddenly swarmed forward.

For a moment, the sound of the butcher's knife striking the flesh was accompanied by screams.

Soon, not a single one of the hundreds of defeated troops was left behind.

But this was not enough to quell his anger.

Although he looked down upon Wan Yan She Ye Ma, but no matter what, he was the eldest son of the marshal.

"Let's go!" Wan Yanhuo Nu waved her hand, mounted her horse and galloped along the official road towards the foot of Hengshan Mountain.

Two hours later, three thousand kidnappers arrived at the battlefield at the foot of Mount Heng.

The strong smell of blood still did not dissipate after a night.

The corpses everywhere were a carnival and feast for the wild dogs and wolves in Mount Hengshan.

However, the arrival of the cavalry disturbed the dining animals and they all fled in all directions.

The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the Jingguan built with human heads.

Like a pagoda, it towers high in the wilderness.

Wan Yan Huo Nu's eyes were about to burst, and the anger in her chest had reached its peak.

"I, Wanyan Huonu, swear here that I will kill all Qigou!"

As Wan Yan Huo Nu said, she drew out the steel knife and slashed across her right face.

The next moment, blood flowed from the wound, staining half of his face red.

"Kill all the dogs!"

The three thousand kidnapper horses behind him all roared loudly, and immediately took out their daggers and slashed their cheeks.

This is a way for the Jurchens to swear an oath.

In fact, not only the Jurchens, but also the Khitans, Bohai people, Tatar tribes, and even the Han people all have this habit.

However, as the Han people have developed to this day, they have gradually evolved from cutting their faces to tattooing their faces.

For example, after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Yan led his soldiers and rebels to resist the Jin Dynasty. To show their determination, everyone carved the words "Serve the country with my heart and swear to kill the Jin thieves" on their faces, so it was called the Eight-Character Army.

There are many such examples.

The Jurchen, Khitan and other races do not have enough cultural heritage, so they can only make a simple and crude wound, but the essence of the two is the same.

After swearing the oath, his bodyguard put away his dagger and asked: "Qianhu, what should we do now?"

Wanyan Huonv looked at the wheel marks on the ground extending into the Hengshan Mountains. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Go back first!"

He did not dare to go to Yuzhou rashly for the time being and ambush the Qi army of the Zhongxiao Army. He might still set up an ambush in the mountains.

My father and the marshal guessed that the Qi army would implement the tactic of encirclement and reinforcements.

But I didn't expect that the Qi army would be surrounding Guangling.

All the way back to the military camp, General Wan Yanhuo told what she saw and heard, including the guesses in her mind.

After listening, Wanyan Loushi looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "The weather is clearing now, and there should be no more rain in the short term. The Qi army's firearms and artillery can be used unscrupulously. As a result, it will be difficult to defend Guangling. Once Guangling City is broken, and Wanyan Xiyin will also be in danger, with 20,000 Qi troops in front and thousands of ambushes behind."

"The three-sided encirclement has formed, and it will be difficult to break the situation."

Wanyan Huonv retorted: "Father, why should I extinguish my own prestige by having someone else's ambition? We still have one hundred thousand armored men in the Western Route Army, and only eighty or ninety thousand in the Qi Army. We still don't know who will win."

Wanyan Loushi shook his head and sighed: "You don't understand."

The Qi army's surprise attack was as fast as lightning and as fierce as thunder. They were stunned by the whole set of combination punches.

Although he and Yin Shu were able to deal with it as best as they could, the Qi army had the first-mover advantage, and Han Zhen was extremely skillful in using his troops, which put them at a disadvantage everywhere.

One step is slow, one step is slow, and the whole process is led by the nose.

Although the strength of the two sides is almost the same, at the strategic and tactical levels, they have completely lost.

Strategically, the opponent's strategic purpose has actually been achieved. In addition to the five states of Yun, Ru, Gui, Wu, and Xin, the other four states have fallen into the bag.

Although the five states of Yun, Ru, Gui, Wu, and Xin are also part of the sixteen states of Yanyun, they are not as important as Shuozhou, Yingzhou and other places.

After all, the dangerous passes of Yunzhou are all within the territory of Shuozhou and other four places.

These four states, combined with the seven states on the Nanjing Road, are enough to stop them from going south.

Tactically, the trend of encirclement on three sides and killing Yunzhou Datong has also been formed.

However, after all, Wanyan Loushi had experienced hundreds of battles and found a glimmer of hope in a dead situation: "But you are right, we still don't know who will win. The Qi army can't delay it, and we can't delay it either. We must take advantage of the Qi army's baggage supplies." Before continuing, fight a big battle to decide the outcome. Otherwise, once the Qi army's firearms and gunpowder are continuously transported in, it will be too late to fight again. "

"Where does father plan to choose the battlefield?"

Wan Yan Huo Nu's eyes lit up and she asked quickly.

During this period of time, he was extremely frustrated and needed a good fight to vent his anger.

"Qingpi Road, Baishan Mountain!"

Wanyan Loushi placed his fingers heavily on the map.
