After the first round of peace talks between the Sui Dynasty and Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun, who was on the weaker side, not only ceded Shanshan and Qiemo and compensated a large amount of property, but in order to test the attitude of the Sui Dynasty, Murong Fuyun also ordered Tuoba Mumi to withdraw from the strategically important Qilian Plains , while the Tuyuhun monarchs and ministers were waiting uneasily, the Sui army not only did not take the opportunity to occupy Qilianyuan, but instead withdrew 5,000 elite soldiers first, and the general was changed from Zhang Xutuo to Liu Quan, a civil servant. When Tuoba Mimi's main force retreated fifty miles, Yang Ji responded to Tuyuhun's goodwill and replaced the five thousand elite soldiers with miscellaneous soldiers...
These friendly actions of the Sui Dynasty finally made Murong Fuyun breathe a sigh of relief. As for other confrontation points in the east, he was not very anxious. The top priority now was to withdraw the soldiers and civilians of Sansha City to the hinterland and move Shanshan He Qiemo was completely handed over to the Sui Dynasty. In order to end this damn confrontation as soon as possible, he ordered the weak Murong Xiaojun to sit at Jinshan Pass to replace the illustrious Murong Tiejian. This also concentrated the possibility of conflicts and war between the two countries in the western region.
There was no war in the east and a stalemate in the west, but the whole situation was reversed by a small tribe in the Dangjin Pass.
When the Jinshan Pass is sandwiched between the Qilian Mountains and the Altun Mountains, it presents a "V"-shaped structure from northwest to southeast. The widest position is nearly 70 miles, and the widest south is more than 50 miles. There are high mountains on both sides of this pass. In summer, a large amount of melted ice and snow makes the interior of the pass lush and lush. In winter, two mountains isolate the wind and snow, so many tribes are nomadic here all year round.
More than sixty miles southeast of Beigu, there is a small town called Jinshan Town. Jinshan Town stands close to the Qilian Mountains and can only accommodate more than 2,000 herdsmen households. The rest are distributed in the form of clans in the melting ice and snow. On both sides of the river, the land is fertile and the water is abundant. There are not only fertile grasslands, but also some good fields for planting highland barley.
In addition to the vast grasslands and fertile fields, the jurisdiction of Jinshan Town consists of low and gently undulating hills. There are large shrubs scattered on the hills, ranging from hundreds of acres to dozens of hectares, as if they are beautiful green trees. Turquoise is inlaid on the ground.
Like other tribes in Dangjinshan Pass, the residents of Jinshan Town have moved to the hinterland south of the mountain pass one after another since the day of the confrontation. Except for some herdsmen who do not want to stay away from their hometown, there are almost no people here. Every night, the place becomes deathly silent. But the arrival of Murong Tieren broke this silence.
Murong Tieren originally led an army of 30,000 to sit in the narrow area of Nanshan Pass. Later, Murong Zhao asked him to go to Beishan Pass to help Sansha City deter the Shanshan Army in Shanshan Nu Branch City.
Murong Tieren knew that this was a very reasonable arrangement and request from the overall situation of Tuyuhun, and he was willing to move to Beishan Pass. However, his duty was to contain the Sui army outside Dangjin Pass and prevent the war from spreading to the hinterland of Tuyuhun. The weight of responsibility is no less important than that of Murong Zhao. If he moved without authorization and the Sui army broke through this strategic location, the consequences would be fatal to Tuyuhun. Therefore, after receiving Murong Zhao's request, he urgently reported Murong Fuyun while keeping a close eye on the situation in Shanshan. It was not until Murong Fuyun approved that he led his army northward.
But for Murong Zhao, who had lost two armies, Murong Shijie and Murong Dagan, this belated army was of little use, and it could not change their fate of shrinking into Sansha City. Therefore, Murong Tiejian's only role was to cover the retreat of Sansha City's soldiers and civilians into the hinterland of Tuguhun, so that they would not be attacked by the Shanshan army of Nuzhi City during their retreat.
In addition to asking him to cover Murong Zhao's retreat, Murong Fuyun also ordered him to destroy all visible buildings within the Dangjin Pass. From this decision, Murong Tieren could see that Murong Fuyun not only gave up Shanshan and Qiemo, but also the long Dangjin Pass. In the future, Tyuhun would shrink all its forces to the hinterland within Nanshan Pass, and then Use the relatively narrow Nanshan Camp to defend the Sui army in the west.
After receiving the order, Murong Tieyen first led an army of 20,000 people to advance towards Beishan Pass, and then divided the 10,000 rear troops into ten groups. Using the north, middle, and south lines to advance simultaneously, he swept through all the troops in Dangjin Mountain Pass, forcing the unwilling The departing herdsmen migrated towards the hinterland. Wherever the army passed, city walls collapsed, villages were burned, and farmland was trampled, causing the fragile agricultural civilization in the valley to disappear under the iron heel.
But an abnormality soon occurred. The Northern Route Army that was mopping up the valley was successively annihilated by an army of unknown origin. Three thousand soldiers died silently in their sleep.
This news shocked and angered Murong Tiejian. If he didn't annihilate this army, not to mention welcoming Murong Zhao's return, his own escape route would be blocked. When he was sure that the Yangguan Sui army was slowly retreating due to the peace talks, he personally led an army of 15,000 back to Jinshan Pass to aid him. He vowed to kill all this bandit army in order to quench his hatred and relieve the tension in the rear. worry.
. . . . . . . .
Jinshan Town falls within the scope of the North Road Tuyuhun sweep. The three Tuyuhun armies need to sweep several times from north to south, and then from south to north until all small towns, villages, and settlements within fifty miles are destroyed.
Jinshan Town is shrouded in heavy fog in the early morning. The milky white fog is like a veil falling from the sky, making the heaven and earth completely white. Only when you walk a hundred steps away can you clearly see the scenery in front of you. If you get closer, you will find a camp of the Tuyuhun people. There are only more than a hundred tents in the camp. Groups of war horses are tied outside the camp. From the war horses It can be inferred that this Tuyuhun army only had about a thousand people.
Several people dressed as mountain men appeared cunningly not far from the camp. They observed carefully for a long time, then quietly retreated, took out the war horses hidden in the jungle, and galloped towards the northeast.
They ran for about twenty miles and got behind a hill covering an area of more than ten hectares. In the bushes behind the hill, there was a Sui army of over ten thousand people. This was led by Wei Yunqi. Seven thousand Qiang soldiers.
Yang Ji originally handed over all the 10,000 Qiang soldiers from Dangxiang to Wei Yunqi to take care of, but Wei Yun had a mission soon after arriving in Ganzhou. Considering the needs of the war and the need to hide his whereabouts, he finally brought only Seven thousand Qiang soldiers and three hundred Sui elites.
The task given by Yang Ji to Wei Yunqi is to sneak into the hinterland of Tuyuhun, use the name of the bandits to cooperate with Xue Shixiong and Mai Tiezhang, and strive to annihilate all the Tuyuhun soldiers in Sansha City. If there is any emergency, Wei Yunqi can respond to the actual situation to decide.
Wei Yunqi chose the road from Ganquanshui in Guazhou to enter the country. After a short rest, he followed the Qilian Mountains to the Dangjin Pass in the west. On the way, they happened to find out that Murong Tiejian had sent a small group of soldiers to cause sabotage. Since there were not many enemy soldiers, he decided to hunt them down.
To this day, the army led by Wei Yunqi has hunted and killed three teams through sneak attacks. Their attacks are much more ruthless than Yang Ji's actions in the Great Lakes area. Once an attack is launched, they will kill the enemy. Kill them all and leave no one alive.
A scout fire chief rode up to a small tent. As soon as he got off his horse, a soldier immediately entered the tent to report. After a while, he came out and said to the scout fire chief: "General Wei, let you in!"
"Here." The fire chief responded and entered the account.
In the camp, Wei Yunqi was standing in front of a map to check the surrounding terrain. This map was different from the previous maps of the same color. Rivers, cities, villages, bridges, hills, and forests were marked in different colors, making it very intuitive. Reflect the situation in various places. The map in front of Wei Yunqi was drawn with a lot of detail by Yang Ji. Since there was plenty of time and the Jinshan Pass was a very critical place, the map was drawn very accurately.
He watched for a long time and then posted a small red flag on a jungle to indicate that this was his current station. When he was done with his work, the fire chief who was waiting silently stepped forward and saluted: "I'm sorry to see you, General!"
"No gifts!" Wei Yunqi asked, "Did you gain anything from this trip?"
"Yes!" the fire chief said quickly: "General, twenty miles away in the northwest, we found a Tuyuhun military camp. There are about a hundred large tents in the camp, and there are only about a thousand war horses."
After Wei Yunqi heard these words, he began to think deeply. Tuyuhun is also a nomadic nation, and their soldiers are mainly cavalry. They usually ride one person and two horses. There will never be two people and one horse. From the hundreds of large tents, it can be inferred that that The number of the army was one thousand men, which exactly matched the three armies they attacked. But why does this camp have only a thousand war horses now, instead of the normal two thousand?
Thinking of this, Wei Yunqi turned his attention to the map again. He was walking northwest along the Dangjin Valley. He silently counted to twenty miles away, then pointed a branch there and asked, "Is this here?" ?"
The scouts brought by Wei Yunqi were also composed of the most elite and outstanding Sui soldiers, and map recognition was their most basic skill. The fire chief stepped forward and looked at it for a while, then nodded with certainty: "This is exactly where it is."
Wei Yunqi glued a white flag on and looked around the camp. It was indeed only about twenty miles away from him. What surprised him was that there were hills covered with shrubs in the north and south of the camp, one in the south and one in the north. A three-legged triangle formed.
He looked at the camp, and then at the two woods, and couldn't help but take a breath of air. The tripod in front of him was a very typical killing formation. If there were ambushes in the two woods, he would attack rashly. He will be in the dilemma of being unable to break through the enemy camp from the front, unable to retreat eastward from the rear, and being intercepted by Tuyuhun soldiers from both the north and south.
When he glanced at Beishan Pass, thirty miles northwest of the camp, he immediately understood that these thousand Tuyuhun were actually a bait, and heavy troops should have been deployed in the two jungles, waiting for him to send them to the door.
And in this killing situation, it was obvious that after he annihilated three Tuyuhun soldiers, he had already posed a huge threat to Murong Tieren, so he wanted to eradicate himself at all costs to ensure that their retreat was smooth.
Thinking of this, Wei Yunqi lit the two trees on fire with the branches in his hands, and said to the scout fire chief: "Bring some elite soldiers to find out the situation in these two woods, and then report back to me."
"General, are you saying there are ambushes in these two woods?" Huo Chang was inspired by Wei Yunqi and looked at the camp and the two woods.
"Not bad!" Wei Yunqi nodded slightly: "I not only suspect that there is an ambush, but I also suspect that your every move is under the surveillance of the other party, so you must be more careful this time and never let the enemy discover you. If There are ambushes inside, so we need to find out their approximate number."
"I obey my command!" The fire chief responded solemnly, and left in a hurry.
Looking at Huo Chang's leaving figure, Wei Yunqi let out a long breath. Judging from the distance between the camp and Beishan Pass and the current general situation of the two countries, he could roughly guess the number of ambush troops: If there were two people in the woods, If there really is an ambush inside, then Murong Tie Ren will most likely be dispatched in full force.
There are two main reasons for Wei Yunqi's judgment: First, the distance between the two battalions is close and the cavalry can move easily. Secondly, the relationship between the Sui Dynasty and Tuyuhun had tended to ease, and the Yangguan army slowly withdrew to Yangguan in accordance with Yang Ji's order, temporarily alleviating the crisis in Sansha City. However, this side was exactly opposite to the situation in the West, and only Because his existence and actions have seriously threatened their retreat, he has become the primary enemy of Murong Tieren and Murong Zhao.
But the question now is, how can he silently bring 7,000 soldiers to the camp, and how can he annihilate them all?
Wei Yunqi thought for a while and then said to the soldiers standing by: "Call the generals to come and discuss matters!"
"Here."
