The trap in the mountains and forests is like an invisible, gaping maw, lying across the forest, silently waiting for the grassland bandits to enter.

Meanwhile, the grassland bandits marching in the Heishanzui area were completely unaware of the danger before them.

The hastily marching grassland bandits lived up to expectations and finally entered the Suguanmiao area on the second day, plunging headlong into the ambush set up by Li Xin himself.

At the same time, the rest of the grassland bandits also entered places such as Gufang Village and Erdaogou.

Even the tail end was trapped in the pocket.

When this news reached Li Qiu, the commander of the Divine Blessing Army, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Haha, they've finally taken the bait! This is great news!"

As he spoke, Li Qiu turned to his advisor and instructed, "Report this news to His Majesty immediately. Also, the task of securing the southeastern entrance of the ambush formation will temporarily be handled by Li Lanhe's troops. Once the Tiger Legion, Divine Machine Army, and Shence Army have all arrived, we will be able to completely surround them!"

"Commander,"

The staff officer's face also showed a hint of joy as he said, "News has also come from Gubeikou. The Tiger Legion, the Shence Army, and the Divine Machine Army are expected to arrive tonight."

"Tonight?"

Li Qiu muttered to himself, "Then let's hide for a while today, and not let the grassland bandits get desperate."

"good!"

The staff officer quickly responded.

...

Su Guan Temple.

When they passed by, the bandits on the grasslands had been traveling for several days.

The Left Khan looked at his personal guards and asked, "Where is the Dongning army located?"

"Khan of the Left Banner, the Dongning army has just passed Heishanzui and is still a day's journey away from us."

One of the guards spoke up in response.

"Oh, it's still a long way off."

The Left Khan nodded and said, "We've arrived at Suguan Temple, and we're much closer to the grasslands. We expect to be out of the mountains and into the grasslands in about a day. Then, the world will be ours!"

As he spoke, the Left Khan's face was filled with undisguised joy.

He knew that the dawn was finally breaking.

Once they escape the mountains, it will be like a tiger entering the forest; everything will be out of the Dongning army's control.

At that time, the initiative on the battlefield will be firmly in the hands of their grassland bandits!

"Rest for an hour, then continue on your way!"

The Left Khan gave the order.

An hour later, the Left Khan's troops left the Suguan Temple and continued their march forward.

However, just an hour after they had traveled, the grassland bandits under the Left Khan's command ran headlong into Liu Xiaoxing's troops in the vicinity of Nanguan Town.

The burst of gunfire filled the Left Khan with alarm.

"What happened?"

The Left Khan, pale-faced, anxiously inquired, "What happened up ahead?"

"The Left Tent Khan,"

A general rode back hastily and said, "Khan of the Left Guard, something bad has happened! A large number of Dongning troops have been discovered in the Nanguan Town area and have blocked our way."

"What?"

The Left Khan's heart skipped a beat.

How come there's a large army from Dongning in Nanguan Town?

Which movie is this from?

Isn't the Dongning army in the rear?

How did we get to Nanguan Town without anyone noticing?

The Left Khan did not delve too deeply into these questions in his mind.

He knew that the road to Nanguan Town had been blocked, which meant that the Dongning army would have to slow down their retreat.

This conspiracy must not be allowed to succeed by the Dongning army!

Thinking it over, the Left Khan ordered, "Attack Nanguan Town immediately and break out!"

After saying this, the Left Khan realized something was amiss and then ordered, "Shumulu, take your troops to Wudaogou. Be quick!"

"yes!"

Shumulu quickly replied.

After Shumulu's troops left, another fierce battle broke out in Nanguan Town.

Meanwhile, the Left Khan stood on a high ground, anxiously gazing towards the direction of Nanguan Town.

The horrific conditions on the battlefield were appalling.

In particular, the sound of countless cannons booming indicated that the main force of the Dongning army was located in the Nanguan Town area!

It seems the Dongning army was well-prepared!

At this time, the Left Khan could only place his hopes on Shumur, hoping that there were no enemy troops in the Wudaogou area so that they could withdraw from the mountains as soon as possible!

A thought flashed through the mind of the Left Khanate King in a moment.

Could it be that the Dongning army has set up an ambush in this area?

The moment the thought crossed the mind of the Left Khan, he realized something was amiss.

"Udumu, immediately send people to Nanxinying, Humaying, and Fengshan Town to investigate the situation."

The Left Khan immediately gave the order.

"yes!"

Udumu responded and immediately went to give the instructions.

"You, come here!"

Summoning a personal guard, the Left Khan continued, "Immediately take men to gather intelligence in the Heishanzui and Xinglonggou areas."

If they really do enter the trap, their escape route will probably be cut off!

Heishanzui, Xinglonggou, and even Labagou and Changshaoying, are probably all occupied by the Dongning army.

Thinking this, the Left Khan took a deep breath.

Don't panic!

Don't panic!

After all, the Dongning army was still a day, no, half a day's journey away!

Hopefully, we can break through the encirclement within this half-day!

The Left Khan can only place his hopes on this place now.

However, around noon, bad news came from the direction of Nanguan Town.

After suffering nearly two thousand casualties, the grassland bandits were driven back.

The formidable garrison under Liu Xiaoxing of Nanguan Town remained firmly in control of the town.

Even if the number of troops from the grassland bandits were large, they wouldn't be able to maneuver effectively in this mountainous area.

The area around Nanguan Town is located in the mountains and forests.

Relying on their superior weaponry, Liu Xiaoxing's troops of the Divine Blessing Army held fast to this mountain pass.

No matter how hard the grassland bandits attacked, they were ultimately unable to break through the defenses.

The defeat at Nanguan Town made the Left Khan somewhat anxious.

However, the news that came from Shumurlu in the afternoon made the Left Khan even more angry.

There was also a large Dongning army stationed at Wudaogou. After Shumulu's troops launched a strong attack, they found the defenses to be strong and were repelled.

In addition, news also came from Nanxinying, Fengshan Town, and Humaying in the afternoon that Dongning troops were stationed there.

It’s over!

It’s over!

When these messages were put together, the Left Khan immediately realized something was wrong.

They've really entered the pocket!

no!

A moment later, the Left Khan's expression changed, and he hurriedly ordered, "Go back immediately and retreat from the area of ​​Suguanmiao, Heishanzui, and Labagou! Be quick!"
