Deng Ai led the Yue cavalry camp all the way to follow the trail of the Huns to the north, although the speed of the Yue cavalry camp is not slow, but always has a distance from the Huns in front, when it is almost to Yanmen Pass, Deng Ai and the stone bud that has just arrived from the west road is unexpected.

Shi Bao and Deng Ai were the same, they pursued all the way, and found a lot of traces left by the Huns along the way, but he hurried and hurried and still failed to catch up with the Huns.

After the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry camp met, Deng Ai and Shi Bao discussed the next pursuit plan, according to the existing situation, the Huns most likely fled to Yanmen Pass, trying to escape back to the outside of the Saiwai.

On the road leading to Yanmen Pass, some broken armor and weapons left by the Huns were found, and a dead war horse was found, according to the scout's report, the wound on the war horse was still bleeding, apparently abandoned here not long ago.

It seems that the Hun deserters are not far away, Deng Ai Shibao ordered, the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion immediately advanced at full speed, straight to Yanmen Pass.

At this moment, Liu Jiaozheng was leading the remnants of seven or eight thousand people towards Yanmen Pass.

It's not that Liu Jiao is not in a hurry, but the team is too tired, and the horses and horses that have fled wildly for several days have made them exhausted, and the leaders of his subordinates have suggested that the team rest before leaving, but Liu Jiao is really anxious, so they can only drag their tired bodies and grit their teeth to Yanmen Pass.

Yanmen Pass is a border fortress, and the reason why the desert grassland in the north is called outside the fortress is because it is located in the north of the fortress such as Yanmen Pass, so it has such a name.

Only by really crossing the Yanmen Pass can it be regarded as stepping out of the state and coming to the outside of the Saiwai, Liu Jiao returned to his heart like an arrow and hurried to the Yanmen Pass.

The reason why Yanmen Pass is called Yanmen is because the wild geese migrate south every year and will pass through here, so it will have this title, and Yanmen County is also the northernmost county of Bingzhou, desolate and remote, and it is the border town of Wei.

This Xiongguan is sandwiched between two mountains, there are the Great Wall on the left and right, if the Great Wall is a brilliant necklace, then Yanmen Pass is a gem inlaid in this necklace, the brilliance is dazzling.

Because the previous Xiongnu rebellion has spread to most of the state, it is north of Jinyang, almost all of them have fallen, those officials and troops of the Wei State, those who can escape, can scatter, from Jinyang to the north of the county seats, are already an empty city.

Therefore, Liu Jiao instinctively thought that Yanmen Pass was also an empty city, and there should be no problem if they crossed the city.

But arrived at the Yanmen Pass under the city, Liu Jiao only found that the Yanmen Pass Gate was closed, although there was no figure inside and out, but Liu Jiao still found that there was something wrong here, if the city that had been abandoned for a long time, it should be overgrown with weeds, and the dust was all over the ground, but now the Yanmen Gate was clean, sprinkled and cleaned, and it did not look like a sign of desolation and smokelessness.

The more Liu Jiao looked at it, the more wrong it became, but he had already arrived here, and there was no other way out, so Liu Jiao had no choice but to step forward and try to open the city gate and clear the customs and get out of the jam.

But as soon as Liu Jiao led his troops to the pass, he suddenly heard a bang, and countless Wei soldiers suddenly poured out of the city, waving their flags, and shouting loudly: "A certain Yanmen is too guarded by Leqi, the Hun dog thief, dare to offend me!" ”

Le Qi is the son of the five sons of the good general Le Jin, at this time as the Yanmen guard, since the Xiongnu rebellion, the northern cities of Jin are lost, only the Yanmen Pass guarded by the Le Qi town is alone, I heard that the Huns arrived, Le Qi was ordered to close the city gate, stick to the city.

Due to the closed news, Le Qi did not know the news of the defeat of the Xiongnu in Jiuyuan, and only thought that the Huns had come to invade Yanmen, so he stuck to the city to resist the enemy.

As the only remaining lonely city in northern Shanxi, Le Qi's situation is also very difficult, but as the son of the famous general Le Jin, Le Qi Guoyi has a father's style, sticking to Yanmen Pass alone without retreating, without food and grass inside, and without reinforcements outside, he still sticks to the city, which shows his resolute and resolute side.

Liu Jiao saw that there were Wei soldiers guarding Yanmen Pass, and his heart sank, there was Xiongguan blocking the road in front of him, and there were chasing soldiers approaching in the back, this was the rhythm that made him finish.

Siege the city, the Huns are fleeing, how can they prepare siege equipment, not even the most basic ladder, if you want to break the city, how easy is it?

But now, Liu Jiao has no way to retreat, so he ordered the Huns to abandon their horses and attack the city, there is no ladder, even if they take a ladder, they are trying to climb the city wall.

Le Qi watched the Huns rush up, not panicked at all, after all, he had guarded the border pass for many years, and had dealt with the Huns Xianbei people more than once, so even if there were few soldiers in Yanmen Pass, but Le Qi was a bamboo in his chest, he ordered the county soldiers guarding the city to immediately release arrows to prevent the Huns from coming forward to grab the pass.

For a while, arrows rained down on the city, killing and wounding countless Hun soldiers, Liu Jiao could not advance, so he could only retreat temporarily and look for other opportunities.

Liu Jiao has a great strong psychology of going north out of Saiwai, which is the hometown of the Huns, and is the place where their ancestors galloped across the country, as long as they cross this pass, Liu Jiao can lead his troops to embark on the return journey and return to the place where their ancestors lived and fought.

Thinking about it, it's all fascinating, but when the Yanmen Gate is closed, he can't enter the door, which can't help but make Liu Jiao very annoyed.

However, although the Huns were outnumbered, they lacked the equipment to attack the city, so they could only stay under the city and look at the city and sigh.

Liu Jiao suddenly thought that Liu Bao parted ways and ran to Shuofang, did he have expected that he would not be able to pass the Yanmen pass, so he would change to the west road.

This damn Liu Bao, this is a plot to kill him!

Liu Jiao hated Liu Bao so much at the moment that he gritted his teeth, but he seemed to have forgotten one point, that is, Liu Bao had proposed to him the plan to go west, but Liu Jiao refused without thinking about it, in his opinion, going to Shuofang and making enemies with Ma Lanqiang and Lu Shuihu people can only bring about their own destruction.

But now Liu Bao has not perished, he himself has walked into a dead end, Yanmen Pass is extremely steep, it is impossible to cross, Liu Jiao had to order the Huns to retreat on all fronts, find another way.

But at this moment, under the clear sky in the south, a sandstorm suddenly rolled up, rolling yellow dust, coming towards this side, and the rumbling of horses' hooves and shouts of killing could be faintly heard, endlessly.

Liu Jiao's face changed suddenly, he was really afraid of something, the pursuers of the Wei army arrived at this time.
