In all directions of the troops, Awang's werewolf troops dispersed the scout defense circle.

While investigating the surrounding situation, they escorted the team forward.

The 10,000 soldiers in the army took nearly 30,000 horses with war horses, and their movement speed was as fast as a wind! There were three passes in the Yanshan section where Shen Mo was responsible, namely Yuguan from east to west, Xifengkou and Gubeikou.

Among these three passes, Yu Pass is the most important.

Entering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun from Xifengkou, if you go from north to south, you have to go from Xifengkou to Zunhua and then to Jizhou (Jixian).

When you enter the pass from Gubeikou, you will enter Gubeikou and then you will be able to get to Mizhou (Miyun).

Except for Yu Pass, the remaining two lines are steep and are very unfavorable to the attack of the large army.

In the history of later generations, when the Qing Dynasty first started, they also entered the pass from Gubeikou.

But those were sent to the Ming Dynasty to rob.

When the number of Qing soldiers reached hundreds of thousands, they could only go to the wide Shanhaiguan to be on the safe side.

But for Shen Mo, these two barriers must be won.

Because if they were in the hands of the Mongolians, the Mongolian army would use these two mountain passes at any time to stab the inside of Yanyun’s Sixteen Prefectures! So Shen Mo’s first stop was at Xifengkou.

The distance from Yuguan to Xifengkou is exactly four hundred miles.

According to Shen Mo's request, they had to arrive at the war zone within 18 hours! Such a long-distance running was a great test for the army's horses and equipment.

But Shen Mo has been working hard for many years for this day.

Especially the quality of the Huaiyang Army soldiers has been tempered by him to be as strong as steel! When his team was like a stream of iron, rolling towards Xifengkou, Shen Mo couldn't help but feel excited.

At the same time, the other two 10,000 teams he sent were also rushing to various war zones, just like him.

It is estimated that it will not take long before the news that the Tongzhou army came ashore from Yuguan will spread throughout the north and south foothills of Yanshan Mountain.

At that time, the Mongolian army in the north will definitely fight against this line of defense, and the enemies in the Yanyun area in the south will also counterattack north wildly.

Now the news is spreading around quickly, but this line of defense is still in the hands of the enemy!... The military situation is so hot, and Shen Mo is also anxious.

After a quick journey of half a day, the team finally arrived at the Xifengkou area.

Modern people are more familiar with Xifengkou, mostly because of the Great Wall's War of Resistance.

Here, the swords of the soldiers of the 29th Army were powerful and caused tragic killing to the Japanese invaders.

From then on, everyone knew about the big sword team of the 29th Army. The names of Song Zheyuan, Zhao Dengyu, Wang Zhibang and Tong Zeguang were also remembered by the Chinese nation forever.

Xifengkou is located in the northern part of the present Tangshan Mountains. At the border between Qianxi County and Kuancheng County, it is the eastern pass of the Yanshan Mountains.

In ancient times, he had a famous name called "Lulongse".

Cao Cao fought here when he was expeditioning to Wuhuan.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Murong Ye of Yan advanced to the Central Plains and went all the way south from here.

According to legend, a young man went out to serve in the army for many years and had not returned. Then his father asked while searching along the road.

The result is here, the father and son meet at the foot of the mountain and laugh at each other.

From then on, it was named Xifengkou.

The terrain here is steep and it is also a wonder in the world.

Originally, there were only a few limited gaps in the Yanshan Mountains, and the Xifengkou was formed by the Luan River for thousands of years.

The Luan River flows through the high and steep mountains, and is divided into two at the mouth of Xifeng, forming the character "Y".

Xifengkou Chengguan is built between the two forks above the character "Y".

In other words, it is not only located among the mountains and in the steep canyon, but is also surrounded by the Luan River... It is obvious how dangerous it is.

When Shen Mo and the others approached the Xifengkou area, they immediately met the reconnaissance cavalry sent by the Mongolian army.

...After a moment when Shen Mo's scouts and the Mongolian army scouts came into contact, the opposite side immediately turned back to report the news, without any love for the battle.

Judging from the reactions of the Mongolian army scouts, they had obviously received a warning from Kuokuobuhua of Yuguan, which shows that the enemy was ready! Then Shen Mo ordered his team to quickly approach Xifengkou along the Luan River Valley. At this time, it was obvious that Shen Mo had the role of cultivating this mountain infantry army in the Huaiyang Army.

The mountain infantry army moved astonishingly fast after they got on the horse, and once they entered the mountainous area, they were even more fierce as if they were entering the mountains! On the two wings of Shen Mo's army, there were peaks and terraces at the highest point, which were occupied by them one after another.

These soldiers leaped like flying on hills and mountains. Whenever they occupied a high ground, they could condescend and control a large area of ​​river valley within the range of their rifles.

Under this situation, Shen Mo's army was moving at a rapid speed.

Soon when they approached Xifengkou, violent gunfire suddenly came from the valleys on both sides! When Shen Mo stopped and listened, he could hear that this was his mountain infantry army, driving away the Mongolian troops and dispersing the ambushers on both sides of the mountain road.

I guess after receiving the reward from the scout, the enemy sent troops to ambush the two wings of the mountain near Xifengkou.

I plan to surprise Shen Mo's troops with condescending sternness.

But they could not escape the tracking of the werewolf troops, and at the same time they could not defeat Shen Mo's mountain infantry army! As for how Shen Mo heard that this was a chase battle, at that time, only gunfire sounds like beans came from the front, but no grenade exploded.

This shows that the battle distance between the enemy and us is always a hundred meters away.

If the enemy had not fought and retreated, the grenades and siege rockets of the mountain infantry army would have been beaten to the enemy's heads long ago! After that, when he heard the sound of rifles gradually faded away, Shen Mo knew that the enemy had been driven back to Xifengkou, and he immediately ordered the troops to continue moving forward.

His troops turned around in a depression, and then there was a sudden enlightenment in front of him! Among the mountains, the Yanshan Mountains formed a dangerous terrain like a pottery jar.

There are steep and high cliffs on all sides, and only where the Luan River flows by, a gap is formed.

Just under this pottery jar is the Luan River water divided into two roads, and Xifengkou is built between them.

The city above is towering, all made of blue-gray sesame stone.

The large chunks of huge rocks were built along the surface, and they looked inviolable!… "The Jin Kingdom is so useless!"
