The setting sun is like blood, and the mountains that were originally full of green and full of vitality were dyed with a layer of autumn bleakness under the sunset. Ye Xiaotian stood on the hillside and watched his army advance in a mighty manner.

During the battle of Dingshan, more than 800 people were killed and more than 1,000 were injured. Among them, the seriously injured had been sent back to the rear for treatment, while the minor injured did not leave the line of fire.

Dingshanguan was broken through by them on the morning of the third day, and the eight tiger squatting cannons had been damaged by half. Immediately afterwards, Ye Xiaotian made a move and conquered Tonggu and Yancun one after another.

The terrain of these two places is not as dangerous as Dingshan. Moreover, after the bloody battle of Dingshan, his soldiers quickly underwent a complete transformation. The combat experience and military morale were very different from before, so although there were fewer personnel, their combat effectiveness was more than twice as high as before.

Of course, this obvious improvement in combat power usually only occurs in the army that participated in such a war for the first time. Just like a new recruit who was just on the battlefield, it is not actually because his combat power has improved a lot, but because of panic before, his combat power has been exerted by almost all of his combat power.

Although Ye Xiaotian's soldiers have been on the battlefield for the first time, compared to the current battle, although the previous battle cannot be said to be a fighting between villagers, it is not much better than the battle between bandits. This is the real battlefield and the real hell of death.

Tonggu and Yancun conquered one after another. At this moment, seeing his army moving forward with great enthusiasm, Ye Xiaotian was filled with pride. The attack on Yang Yinglong was tantamount to a large-scale training. After the war ended, he would have an iron army that had been tempered for thousands of times, which would be his most solid reliance.

Mu Zhao, the commander of Bozhou, who was guarding Dingshan, fled and left the gate when he broke through the city. He had just run to Tonggu and breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Xiaotian chased after him. He had no choice but to escape again and then fled to Yancun. Ye Xiaotian's military flag arrived again, and Mu Zhao fled to Nanmu Cave without stopping, and then settled down.

Nanmu Cave, Goat Cave, and Jiantai Cave are actually three mountains. Each of the three mountains has a large cave that can hide soldiers. The terrain here is very dangerous, but this is a must-pass place to attack Loushan Pass and must be defeated. Otherwise, once the enemy cuts off the retreat, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After Muzhao fled to Nanmu Cave, he immediately took over the defense of the three caves. His remaining soldiers, together with the garrison here and the farmers and people temporarily recruited, had no less than tens of thousands of people. He set up camps and surrounded the mountains and fields, and his momentum was very terrifying.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaotian knew that his troops could not attack hard, so he stationed and waited for Liu Ting. Liu Ting led the central army to arrive, asked about the situation on the Qingshan Mountain, and immediately divided the troops into three groups and started a war at the three holes at the same time, forcing them to not echo each other and could only fight on their own.

Liu Ting personally supervised the battle, holding silver in his left hand and a big knife in his right hand, shouting: "Those who work hard will be rewarded, but those who don't work hard will be beheaded!" The naked lure of money and military law deterrence have no big truth, but those who are in the army still listen to this trick. The three armies use their lives to fight bravely to fight the enemy, which is unstoppable.

Liu Ting kept dispatching troops and calmly transferred the Ming army to the limelight in the midst of the war. Seeing that the plan was successful, Liu Ting suddenly ordered arson, and the fire was raging and wandering towards the Bozhou army. The Bozhou army had to avoid entering the cave to prevent fire.

But he didn't expect that Liu Ting would block his army and pile up firewood at the entrance of the cave to burn it. Although the fire could not spread into the cave, the thick smoke was everywhere. In fact, there was another ventilation vent in the cave, but the ventilation vent was too small to dissipate the smoke. From a distance, the ventilation vents on the three mountains looked like three large chimneys, and the Bozhou army was blocked in the cave and smoked countless times.

Nanmu, goat and Jiantai were conquered in one fell swoop, but it took a lot of energy to put out the fire. Many precious woods that had grown for thousands of years were burned down. Many corpses were removed from the cave, and Muzhao, who escaped here, finally had no choice but to escape. He was dragged out of the cave. Because he was close to the vent, he was not dead, but like a little ghost with a fumigated face, and the local guard Wu Shanghua was fainted.

Yang Yinglong was shocked when he got the news that Dingshan and Nanmu had fallen one after another. Loushan Pass was the gate of Bozhou. Once the hole was opened, the general situation would be gone.

Yang Yinglong did not want to rely on the risk of the enemy at Loushan Pass. The soldiers were exhausted and he had no confidence in the court. Yang Yinglong wanted to defend the enemy from outside, so he immediately ordered his son Yang Chaodong, Yang Weidong and his clan brother Yang Zhu to attack Liu Ting from Songkan, Yudu and Luoguchi respectively.

At the same time, he was in charge of Hailongtun, dispatched troops to fight against other troops. He was short of limits and was too poor to deal with it. Only then did he regret it. He felt that what the military advisor said at the beginning was true. He should not shrink his troops, but should take the initiative to attack, but it was too late to wake up at this time.

The Jinyiwei has been in Guizhou for many years, but he has not only done some stealing things. Their hidden lines played an important role at this time. Yang Chaodong, Yang Weidong and Yang Zhu each led more than 10,000 troops and went on a turbulent battle. How could this be hidden from their suspicion?

The news from the Jinyiwei was quickly passed to Liu Ting's desk. Because of Ye Xiaotian and Luo Daheng's special relationship, Hong Baichuan looked at him differently, so he also got the information as soon as possible. After Ye Xiaotian received the information, he immediately went to see Liu Ting.

There were many generals in Liu Ting's tent, and they didn't know what they were talking about. When they saw Ye Xiaotian coming in, Liu Ting nodded and smiled at him, signaling him to sit down and participate in the matter. Ye Xiaotian sat down on the bench next to him.

Among these generals, Ye Xiaotian had the lowest position, but in terms of strength, he was second only to General Liu Ting, so everyone knew him. Everyone also knew that he had a good relationship with General Liu. Although this vanguard official had a heavy responsibility, he was also giving him credit, so he looked up to him a little more.

Liu Ting continued the previous topic: "Our army is now winning consecutive battles and has a rainbow of morale. However, Yang Yinglong had defrauded several times before, using the method of luring the enemy into deep, and then took advantage of his familiarity with the terrain to encircle and ambush, turning defeat into victory, and having to guard against it!"

When Ye Xiaotian heard this, he thought that Liu Ting had doubts because of his successive victory. He was afraid of repeating the mistakes of defeating the generals before. He didn't know the news that Yang Yinglong had divided his troops to attack, so he coughed and said, "Sir, the last general just got the news. Yang Yinglong's troops were divided into three groups, from Songkan, Yudu, and Luoguchi to encircle our army..."

Liu Ting smiled and said, "I already know about this!"

Liu Ting slashed the sand table with his hands. There were colorful small flags on it. The black one represented Yang Yinglong, and the red, orange, yellow and green all represented the other seven armies. The flag color of Liu Ting's troops on this journey was red.

Liu Ting said: "Look, the progress of all the troops is not smooth, especially the two troops in Guizhou, which are blocked from the south bank of the Wujiang River and cannot advance in a short time! Among the eighth armies, the only one is Qijiang Road, and I will drive straight in and go further to Shihu Pass. As long as I break Shihu Pass, I will be Yang Yinglong's gateway: Loushan Pass! And at this time..."

Liu Ting stood up, pulled out three black flags from the flag box on one side, and inserted them in Songkan, Yudu and Luoguchi, and said: "Yang Chaodong came out of Songkan, Yang Weidong came out of Yudu, Yang Zhu came out of Luoguchi, look at the overall situation, does it seem like another luring the enemy into deep and surrounding the ambush?"

Ye Xiaotian and other generals looked at the sand table. Even a half-tongued general like Ye Xiaotian saw the hidden murderous intent of the enemy as Liu Ting told him, and he couldn't help but gasp.
