Chapter 141 "Don't go south."
Yuan Tian frowned and said, "Our army can only retreat west now and go to Xishan County. ” Han Zhong was stunned for a moment, nodded again and again, and responded: "Yes, yes, the terrain of Xishan County is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the Feng army pursues it, it will not be able to take advantage." ” Xishan County is located in the northwest of Mozambique and is a very special county in Mozambique, one is the special terrain, and the other is the special county head.
The county leader of Xishan County is named Shao Yu, and Shao Fang belongs to the same clan, but the blood relationship between the two is relatively distant, if you really want to trace it, you have to trace it back to the generation of the great-great-great-ancestors of the two.
Shao Yu's great-ancestor and Shao Fang's great-ancestor are brothers, at that time, according to the order of succession, Shao Yu's great-ancestor should inherit the throne of Mo, but Shao Yu's ancestor is not interested in the throne, and he does not think that he has the ability to govern the country well, so he took the initiative to let the virtuous to Shao Fang's ancestor, and after the latter ascended the throne, in order to thank his brother for his abdication, he named Shao Yu Xuanzu as the Marquis of Xishan, in charge of Xishan County, and his title and official position can be passed on from generation to generation to protect his descendants, glory and wealth.
From the generation of Shao Yu's great-great-grandfather, he was the Marquis of Xishan, and later his great-grandfather, grandfather, and father were passed down from generation to generation, until him, five generations were the heads of Xishan County.
It can be said that the position of the Shao Yu family in Xishan County has long been deep-rooted and unshakable, and its prestige among the people is high, even exceeding that of the Mozambican monarch.
Xishan County has become a country within a country.
When Shao Fang wantonly slaughtered the Shao family, he also thought of Shao Yu and wanted to stab him several times, but after thinking about it carefully, he had no choice but to give up, Shao Yu's roots in Xishan County were too deep on the one hand, and the terrain of Xishan County was too special on the other hand.
Xishan County is surrounded by mountains, and the whole county is like being trapped in a huge basin, and there is only one way to enter the county, Xishankou, and Fengyang City, which is built in it, blocks Xishankou tightly.
In addition, Xishan County has more than 200,000 county troops, and the county has fertile land and abundant products, so the county's grain production can not only be self-sufficient, but also handed over millions of stone to the Mozambican court every year.
Xishan County can be said to have food and grain, money and money, soldiers and soldiers, the terrain is steep, both offensive and defensive, and when Shao Fang's behavior was the most crazy, he did not dare to do anything to Shao Yu easily.
Now Yuan Tian proposed to retreat to Xishan County, which made Han Zhong feel quite open, yes, retreating to Xishan County can lead the Feng army away from the hinterland of Mozambique, if the Feng army dares to attack Xishan County, it is asking for hardship and self-defeat.
He hurriedly said: "Hurry up and give the order, and the whole army will retreat to Xishan County."
Yuan Tian shook his head, looked at the front, and said: "The front army can't be withdrawn anymore, and now we can only retreat with the middle army and the rear army."
"What" Han Zhong was taken aback, and subconsciously widened his eyes, there were 100,000 soldiers in the front army, if only the middle army and the rear army were withdrawn, wouldn't the 100,000 soldiers of the front army all die at the hands of the Feng army Yuan Tian said helplessly: "In the current form, someone must stay behind and drag the wind army, otherwise we will not be able to withdraw from Xishan County at all, and we will be chased and killed by the wind army." ” Han Zhong was speechless for a long time, and Yuan Tian didn't have time to wait for him to make a decision, and said, "Lord Han, now is not the time to be indecisive.
As he spoke, he shouted to the generals around him: "Order the middle army and the rear army to retreat to the west, and then go to the front army to fight to the death with the wind army, and our army's reinforcements will arrive immediately." ” "It's the general" The generals looked embarrassed, but they still agreed one after another and ordered them to leave.
Yuan Tian adopted the method of abandoning his pawns to protect the car, sacrificing the front army, and taking advantage of the chaos to withdraw the 150,000 Chinese and rear troops.
Tang Yin, who was sitting on the periphery of the battlefield, saw the actions of the Mo army clearly, he immediately understood the intention of the Mo army, and then asked people to pass the order to the Huwei army to annihilate the remaining Mo army, and then there was no need to chase the enemy, and went directly south to the Absolute Green Mountain to relieve the siege of the plain army, while he himself led the direct army to chase and kill the withdrawn Yuan Tian and Han Zhong.
Yuan Tian and Han Zhong led the 150,000 Mo army in the process of retreating and found a large number of wind troops behind them chasing over, and the two hurriedly gave the order, the whole army threw away the baggage, only brought rations, marched lightly, and retreated at full speed in the direction of Xishan County.
In order to lighten the burden, many soldiers even threw away their armor and weapons, and the 150,000 people, without any fighting spirit, fled westward like a plate of scattered sand.
The Feng army paid attention to the large number of baggage thrown away by the Mo army, and Tang Yin had already made up his mind that he wanted to annihilate the main force of the Mo army.
The chase between the two sides lasted from morning to noon, and the distance between the two sides was not narrowed, but closer and closer.
In the end, Yuan Tian had no choice but to divide the 20,000 Mo army again to block the wind army and create time for the main force to escape.
In the face of the wolf-like direct army, how could the Mo army, which only had 20,000 fighting spirits and morale fell to the bottom, be able to resist The battle between the two sides turned into a one-sided slaughter from the beginning, and the direct army was like a whirlwind, and the 20,000 Mo troops were scattered in just one walk, and then the battle lasted less than an hour, and almost none of the 20,000 Mo troops escaped, either killed in battle or captured by the direct army.
Tang Yin didn't have the time or energy to detain these Mo army prisoners, so he made a decision and ordered all of them to be beheaded.
His words made tens of thousands of Mo army captives all become ghosts under the knife of the wind army, and the severed heads that were cut off alone were piled up like a mountain.
However, the death of the 20,000 Mo army was not worthless, at least it greatly slowed down the pursuit of the Feng army, and bought a lot of time for the more than 100,000 people of Yuan Tian and Han Zhong.
The chase between the two sides continued, and the directly subordinate army led by Tang Yin pursued the enemy for two days and two nights, and finally saw the shadow of the Mo army again.
Just when everyone in the Feng army was excited, thinking that they could completely annihilate the main force of the enemy army in one go, the Mo army fled into a long and narrow valley.
In fact, this valley is not narrow, even if five or six carriages run side by side, it is fine, but it is too deep, and the peaks on both sides are too high, making the valley look narrow.
After chasing the enemy to this point, Tang Yin urgently ordered the whole army to suspend its advance and rest in place.
He approached the valley with a multitude of wind generals and raised his eyes to look at it.
The valley is twisted and twisted, the depth is not bottomless, the peaks on both sides are towering into the clouds, the cliffs are smooth as mirrors, if there are ambushes on the peaks on both sides, rashly enter, the consequences are unimaginable.
Tang Yin looked at it, gasped, and shouted sideways: "Where are Lotte and Aijia?"
"The last general" Lotte and Ai Jia both urged the horse, came behind Tang Yin, and gave a salute.
Tang Yin pointed to the valley in front of him and asked, "What is this place, why is it so precipitous?"
"Back to the king, this place is called Xishankou, and it is also the only way to enter Xishan County of Mozambique, through the valley, it should be Fengyang City of Xishan County."
Ai Jia had done a lot of preparations, and when Tang Yin asked, she blurted out without thinking.
"It turns out that we actually chased the enemy to Xishan County."
Tang Yin didn't know much about Xishan County, but he had paid attention to this place when he was looking at the map of Mozambique.
Xishan County is located in the western part of the Mozambican Kingdom, although it borders the Jade Kingdom, but the whole county is surrounded by mountains, and there is no direct access to the Jade Kingdom, and the county is remote and has no strategic value, so it is not among the primary targets of Tang Yin's attack.
"It seems that the remnants of the Mo army had planned to flee to Xishan County for refuge."
Lotte Zhengse said: "The Mo army is trying to use the dangerous terrain of Xishan County to block our army's pursuit. ” "Hmph, even if the Mo army escapes to the ends of the earth this time, I will find them out" Tang Yin sneered and said: "Send a person with strong skills to climb to the top of the mountain to see if there are any ambushes, and after finding out, report to me immediately." ” "It's the king" Lotte and Ai Jia responded, and then sent elite spies from the Sky Eye and the Earth Net to climb the mountain to investigate.
It's easy to say, but it's not easy to do, the peaks on both sides of the West Pass are high and steep, extremely difficult to climb, Lotte and Ai Jia each sent more than 30 spies, until it was dark before returning to the Feng Army camp, and they didn't retreat with their whole body, the eye of the sky lost 12 people, the ground net lost 15 people, these sacrificed spies did not die at the hands of the Mo army, but fell to death while climbing the mountain.
Fortunately, they brought back accurate information, and no Mozambican ambush soldiers were found on the peaks on both sides of the valley.

Tang Yin nodded again and again after hearing the details, it is understandable that even the elite spies of the Sky Eye and the Earth Net fell to death in the process of climbing, and the difficulty of ordinary people trying to climb to the top of the mountain can be imagined, such a steep peak is not suitable for large-scale ambushes.
He ordered the whole army to rest outside the valley for a night, wait until dawn the next day, and then enter the valley to fight the enemy to the death.
That night, the troops directly under the command did not dare to enter the valley because they were not familiar with the terrain and were afraid of being ambushed by the enemy, and second, the whole army was exhausted from the pursuit of the enemy for several days, and they also needed time to rest and reorganize.
The direct army did not attack hastily, but the Mo army took advantage of the night to go out of the valley and sneak attack the camp of the Feng army.
The Mo army's stealing camp this time was not expected by the direct army, these days, the direct army has been chasing the Mo army, never expected that the Mo army would dare to take the initiative to attack.
The direct army was not well prepared and was caught off guard by the sneak attack of the Mo army, but fortunately, the scale of the Mozambican army's sneak attack was not large, and it failed to cause too much loss to the Feng army, but a chaotic battle was fought, and the direct army still suffered more than 2,000 casualties.
Upon learning of this, Tang Yin was furious, and when it was just dawn the next day, Tang Yin ordered the whole army to attack, break through the West Mountain Pass, and take Fengyang City directly.
The army directly under the command of the Mo army, which thought that it had been slapped in the face by the Mo army, was menacing and rushed into the West Mountain Pass with a thunderous momentum.
The Mo army has more than 10 simple villages and checkpoints in the West Mountain Pass, it seems that the wind army is fierce, more than 10 villages and checkpoints are empty, and the direct army has no effort to capture all the villages and checkpoints in the West Pass without blood.
Advancing further, it is the last checkpoint of Xishankou, and it is also the top priority of the Xishankou defense line, Fengyang City
