In the valley of Baicaoyu, the foot riders and cattle of the Xifan transport team who flocked to this place threw the cloth bags loaded with millet, salt, and armor all over the ground, or rode horses or walked, scrambling to rush out of the Baicaoyu pass, and go back to report the situation to the sand castle - Xiao Pass, suddenly a large number of Tang army elites appeared!

"Woooooo A terrible and terrifying trumpet blew up.

In the middle of the Xiao Pass barrier, the red tooth flag also jumped up to a long pole, and then swayed.

Taking this as a signal, a large number of cavalry appeared on Baicaoyu, which was ambushed here by Zhang Yufei and Shi Fu of the Jingyuan camp.

Not only that, but in the foothills of Liupan Mountain opposite, there was also the sound of horses' hooves - the cavalry of the White Grass Army led by Ming Huaiyi and Mi Yuan were lined up in several horizontal formations, the front team raised the recurve bow in their hands, and the rear team was holding a forest-like horse lance high, swarming from the slope at the foot of the mountain to conquer it.

"Kill the fan!" The soldiers of Fan Yang of the White Grass Army, who had just recovered their cavalry status, all lifted their horse lances over their shoulders with both hands at the moment when the horse's head was rushing and the horse's hooves were flying, and the lance blade was slightly oblique downward, coiled on the top of the helmet.

The first few Fanyang cavalry rushed down, seeing the Xifan foot soldiers trembling and running in front of the horse's head, they took advantage of the power of the war horse charge to stab the horse lance fiercely, and the sound of "click" bones and flesh breaking sounded - the lance blade penetrated the backbone of the Xifan foot soldiers, and then quickly pulled out, and the horse's hooves immediately stepped over the tumbling corpses of the Tibetan soldiers, and continued to move forward bravely.

Between Baicaoyu, the platform and the river valley road, Ma Youlin and Liu Guoguang were crushed head-on, Zhang Yufei, Shi Fu and Ming Huaiyi, and Mi Yuan cut off the road, and then the cavalry galloped down in the next three directions, a total of 4,000 people, like a giant whale, the Xibo guards who had less than 300 people on foot and cavalry devoured, lance and arrow, knife and axe, Rao is Xifan soldiers fought to the death, but after all, they were only flesh and blood, and soon all died in battle.

Half an hour later, the smoke and dust floating in Baicaoyu slowly dissipated and fell silent.

After another half an hour, Gao Yue, Gao Gu, and Ximen Cang rode horses across the Hulu River, and came to the Baicaoyu Valley, where they saw the corpses of people and horses all over the ground, and several red-eyed Baicao Army cavalry were still riding back and forth, repeatedly stabbing the horse lance into the dead soldiers.

"Spare your life!" When a group of subordinates escorted several Chinese-speaking "soldiers" to Gao Yue, Gao Yue could see at a glance that these were all soldiers of the old Changwu Army who had defected in the past.

"What about the dog thief?" Gao Gu immediately asked.

These soldiers could recognize Gao Gu and knew that he was Hun Xuan's adopted son, so they bowed down and pleaded guilty, saying that Wang Chaogan and Daxi Xiaojun, including three or four hundred Changwu soldiers who had defected to the past, were now all taken over by Hu Qu Lu Ximeng, the great defense envoy who destroyed the sand castle, and incorporated them into the "city defense army" system in the fort, and mixed with the Fan soldiers and Qiang soldiers in order to strengthen control and digestion.

In this support mission, they were placed in the red book by Hu Qulu, but they didn't expect to be so catastrophic in Baicaoyu.

"I won't kill you and wait, but you must tell me the terrain, password, and city defense joints of the sand castle, and I can give you an equal share of the land to live after returning to Xingyuan Mansion immediately." Gao Yue felt that these surviving rebels were very useful, and then he said with a pleasant face, "The envoy knows that you were all coerced by Wang Chaogan and Daxi Xiaojun at the beginning, and you were forced to do so. ”

"Yes, yes, we are all coerced." These soldiers of the old Changwu Army hurriedly replied, it seems that the desire to survive is very strong.

"Then you have to atone for your sins!" Gao Yue shouted.

These soldiers immediately lost their souls, and told Gao Yue everything they knew.

Gao Yue and many generals immediately dismounted, found some loess, stones and simply built up, according to the instructions of these soldiers, plotted a simple model of destroying the sand castle, and finally came to the conclusion: "Hu Qu Lu Ximeng is a brave general of the Western Phoenix, sitting in the sand castle for many years, and is very trusted by Shang Jie, such as attacking the fort head-on, in the eagerness, we may not be able to succeed, so it is best to use a surprise attack strategy." ”

After the direction was decided, Gao Yue quickly remounted his horse, "The battlefield will be bothered to be cleaned by the Ximen Supervision Army, and General Xu Si and the mule army will stay in Baicaoyu and Xiaoguan to guard against possible enemy situations in the north - everyone else, don't stop in one go--Roll the armor and drive away, we will go straight to destroy the sand castle!" Gao Yue said concisely and forcefully.

"Cheap envoy, please wear armor." At this time, Gao Gu pleaded, and several soldiers immediately delivered the deputy armor to Gao Yue.

"It's too late, the soldiers are fast, everyone rides a horse and runs lightly to destroy the sand castle, and at the same time leads a horse to wear armor, and it is not too late to put it on again in wartime." After speaking, Gao Yue scolded the mount and moved forward, then raised the whip and turned to Ming Huaiyi, "The three brothers of the Ming family, it is you who are the ones who take the lead this time, dress me up!" ”

"Daddy, don't worry." The three Ming brothers threw down their helmets, revealing the braids hanging from the back of their heads and necks.

The twilight is getting thicker, the moon slowly floats out from the lofty mountains of the Meridian Ridge, between the towers of the sand castle, the sound of the rhino horn blowing echoes each other, every twenty steps on the head of the city, there is a door to shoot crossbows, the soldiers stationed in the West Fan hold torches, vigilantly patrol back and forth, and look at the valley mouth mountains from time to time.

This fortress is backed by Liupan Mountain, and there are several passes such as Mucheng, Xiwating, and Liuzhou in the back, and it is located on a raised plateau in the west of the Hulu River.

But now the Guyuan city has also been in ruins, since the Xifan seized the Yuan, Hui Erzhou, the indigenous Tang people here all migrated to the distant Hexi, here has become a barren grassland "idle field", every year in the season, there are Xifan people from Huizhou to graze horses, cattle and sheep. This will increase the control of the sandcastle on all sides, and make it more difficult for the enemy to attack (it is deserted, and you can't get any supplies on the spot).

On the horse-faced wall protruding from the head of the city, Hu Qu Lu, the ambassador of the defense of the city, stood there, explained all the matters to the city soldiers in detail, and then did not forget to tell a few of his subordinates, "Don't forget to warn the rebels of the Tang family." ”

The rebels in his mouth are the old Changwu army such as Wang Chaogan and Daxi Xiaojun.

This group of people could not get any trust in the sand castle, and Hu Qu Lu Ximeng wanted to use them, but also to guard against them, so the camp of the old Changwu army was set up in the northwest corner of the city wall, and did not directly pass through any city gate, just to guard them from rebellion - but Hu Qu Lu Ximeng did not dare to set up their camp outside the city, because he was afraid that they would take the opportunity to flee back to Tang Tu.

After the order was finished, Hu Qulu Ximeng went down to the city and returned to his own office.

Slowly, the entire sand castle quieted down, and most of the defenders, except for a few who stood guard on the city walls or rode horses to patrol the main roads in the field, rested in the barracks in the city.

After all, the situation here is much more comfortable than there is peace and coolness.

It wasn't until midnight, after another hour, that suddenly there was a burst of firecrackers outside the city.
