Ten thousand miles away, the mood of the Hu people here is obviously worse than that of Cui Rixun and others. Naturally, their mood cannot be described as uneasiness or entanglement, but should be anger and hatred.

When three tens of thousands of troops retreated to Hudi, they found how great their losses were. Although when they came back, everyone was ready to know that the Song army had broken in and destroyed it, once they really saw the ravaged territorial tribe, they knew how terrible and hateful the Song army was.

Dozens of tribes were swept by the Song army, and all the cattle, sheep and other animals that were the property of the grassland tribe were killed, mostly disappeared, and the tents and utensils necessary for life were also destroyed by them in the fire. This makes the Hu people's southern expedition meaningless, because the property they have looted is almost equivalent to the loss. If it has to be compared, the loss is still greater, because the money and silver obtained cannot be directly eaten, and cattle and sheep are the necessities of life.

If these two points of barren can still be tolerated, the most obvious loss can't make them indifferent, which is the loss of population. Nearly 20,000 people lost their lives in this disaster, of which are young and strong people left behind in Hudi, and more are old, weak women and children. Qingzhuang is the foundation of the Hu people's current founding, the elderly are their former glory, and children are their future hope. But the Song people who killed these days have wiped out all this. Whether they have the ability to resist or not, they are enemies in their eyes and will be killed.

When they saw these bodies lying in the pool of blood, no matter how hard-hearted the barbarians were, tears flashed in their eyes. These were all their relatives. Of course, they have obviously forgotten all the evil deeds they had done to the people of Song before. In fact, compared with coldness, Xu Jinghong and them are only half a catty.

In fact, the biggest blow to the Hu people is not everything mentioned above, because whether it is property or population, the Hu people themselves will be consumed in the civil war. What really make them angry is the Song people's killing of their women. Those women were all killed by the Song people, which is the real way to break their roots. Because women are the root of the barbarian's reproduction, you can't let a few old men engage in the barren and then give birth to offspring, can you?

This killing has sharply reduced the number of women in Hudi, which is a fatal blow to the Hu people who have lost so much of their population. After getting the exact information, the three leaders of Khitan, Juvzhen and Turks issued a death order to kill the Song army, which dared to enter the grassland and kill so many people, causing such great losses on their side!

The Hu people below immediately took action. What they are most worried about now is that the Song army fled and returned to Song after learning that their main force returned to the grassland. Then, if they want to take revenge again, I'm afraid it will be too difficult. Because of the heavy losses, they can't be annoyed to organize another invasion of the south.

But this time, God seemed to have favored them. After a few days of careful search, they really found clues. On the east grassland, they found a dying wounded man, a member of the previously slaughtered tribes. From this man's mouth, they knew the where the Song army was going. They did not return to the south immediately, but turned to the east.

After learning this information, the three people united again and chased to the east as soon as possible. In their imagination, Song Jun did this because he was worried that he would encounter his main force when he went straight south, so he thought of taking a detour. And this is a great opportunity for the Hu people to revenge, because they firmly believe that the Song people can't escape from their own territory.

After a few days of chasing, their confidence was even more sufficient, because they found that on the way, they would always see some dead or dying people. Obviously, the Song people were busy running for their lives and abandoned all the prisoners, which also symbolized that they would soon catch up with each other.

On the 19th day of the first month of the Song people's calendar, the Hu people can be sure that they are not far from the Song army, because the traces left by their cavalry have been extremely obvious. Perhaps as long as they cross the place where the locals call the Devil Valley in front of them, they can completely vent their anger.

The long canyon is right in front of them. This is a deep cliff on one side and a dangerous place with towering mountains on the other. Because this canyon is really dangerous, many barbarian knights have fallen down and died, so they are called the Valley of Demons by the local people.

Looking at the danger here, some people began to worry: "Sir leaders, it's really too dangerous here. Even if we want to chase the Song people, should we first send small investors in to explore the way, and then let more people in?"

Tongus, the lord of the Turks, looked at the lord of the two clans with the same status and said, "I thought the current Song people were already a lamb without courage. How could they set up an ambush here? So we should go through here immediately and kill them directly to avenge the victims of all our ethnic groups!"

Wanyan Dala, the leader of the Jurzhen Department, also nodded with deep thought: "That's right, we have tens of thousands of troops this time, and this is our territory. What else can the Song people do except take advantage of the opportunity to kill our women and children. So you don't have to be afraid of them at all..."

Xiao Qin, the leader of the Khitan clan, was a little hesitant: "Although that's the case, isn't it too risky for so many of us to enter this Devil Valley together? Moreover, this canyon is too narrow, and it is even slower for many people to pass through. It's better to pass it in batches.

"Well, you Khitans are too timid!" Tongus muttered with dissatisfaction. Wanyan Dala over there said coldly, "I'm afraid this is not only because of timidity, but also because of this loss, you Khitan people are the smallest, so you don't take chasing Song people seriously, do you?"

This is clearly provoking the contradiction between several forces, which made Xiao Qin's face look a little ugly: "Well, when did we fight against the Song people, didn't our Khitan warriors kill at the forefront? Instead, you real women often hide behind in order to save yourself!"

"You..." Wanyan Dala was also a little angry when he heard this and immediately wanted to refute it, but his words were interrupted by Tongus: "Well, why do you say this? Our goal now is the Song people there. Now we should work together to annihilate them! I have decided that we will leave 2,000 horses here just in case, and the others will enter the canyon now to chase the Song people!"

Now the Turks are the most powerful of the three parts. After Tongus said so, the other two leaders had to stop talking and nodded and agreed. After guarding 6,000 horses at the end of the canyon, nearly 25,000 others entered the somewhat deep canyon and went to their unknown fate.

On the right side of the canyon is an abyss that can't be seen at a glance, while on its left side is a mountain several feet high, like a knife. Originally, according to the habit of the Hu people, there were treasures on the mountain and no one came to get them, but now this place is full of people hiding their own bodies. They are Xu Jinghong and his party.

Since they decided to ambush the barbarian here more than ten days ago, they have run all the way. Except for leaving some clues on the road so that the barbarian can chase them, they have not delayed much. And these early days have also given everyone a deeper understanding of the terrain here, and also make them more convinced that they will definitely win this battle.

Because the terrain here is really good, once they attack the enemies in the canyon below, the barbid people can only be beaten. The steep mountain has become the best barrier for the soldiers of the Song army. Even with the strong bow of the Hu people, it is difficult to shoot up and hit the target like this. What's more, they have to avoid the attack at this time?

In addition, the narrow road that only allows two horses to walk side by side will make it extremely difficult for the Hu people to dodge. If one is not good, he will fall down the mountain, and he will die faster. With this layer of guarantee, the soldiers did not have the uneasily mood that came all the way. Instead, they hoped that the barbarians would come as soon as possible.

Finally, after waiting for five or six days, the sentry arranged outside sent back the news of the appearance of the barbarian. The soldiers were immediately ready for battle. After a period of time, the large and small stones transported up the mountain have been placed on the edge of the mountain, and other weapons have also been clenched by them. Now they are only waiting for the enemy to come to their door.

But the Hu people wandered around the mouth of the valley, which made the soldiers a little worried. They didn't dare to enter again after seeing the fame here, did they? Fortunately, with Xu Jinghong's absolute prestige, everyone did not panic, but waited quietly, waiting for the other party to quickly step into this death trap.

When the sun came, the Hu people and horses outside the valley finally moved, and the speed was still very fast. In the blink of an eye, the forward men and horses had come to the corridor of the canyon, and the blood of the soldiers began to boil at this moment.

However, without Xu Jinghong's order, no one will rush to take action, because he has a clear order that no one is allowed to act without permission before he gives the order to attack, otherwise it will be a death penalty.

Seeing that Hu people are entering the canyon more and more and more, some people can't help looking at Xu Jinghong one after another, but he is still unmoved, just continue to staring at the entrance and waiting for more Hu people to come in!
