Rouge Mountain Pass.
Before the war started, this place belonged to Dayue, but now it is occupied by Loulan.
Lou Jindong looked a little disgraced.
During the expedition, they advanced with great success and directly reached the capital of Dayue. I thought that it would be easy to capture Zhaowu this time because the Huns were restraining them from Dali.
This was indeed the case. Until the army surrounded Zhaowu, reinforcements from Dali did not arrive.
But the result...
His teeth itched with hatred.
The original 80,000-strong army was now reduced to less than 30,000. How could he not hate it?
Opposite him was a burly general, Zhangzhou Guard General Lan Xingjun, who also frowned at this moment.
Because he had roughly learned some of the situation. In fact, the soldiers who came back were all talking about divine weapons and artifacts descended from the sky.
Although he did not witness it with his own eyes, it was an indisputable fact that the army was defeated.
So he didn't dare to be careless.
He asked: "General Lou, Da Yue's army is approaching. How should we fight the next battle? What are the so-called divine weapons and other magical weapons?"
Lou Jindong's teeth chattered when he heard this.
He was obviously extremely annoyed by this fiasco.
But he was still annoyed, and now was obviously not the time to be angry, so he briefly explained the situation.
But unfortunately, he knew nothing about the divine weapons and explosives.
The only thing gained was a few smoke bombs, but the smoke inside them had long since disappeared. Lan Xingjun looked at them for a long time and couldn't see anything.
Lou Jindong couldn't explain it, he just said: "In short, we can't fight with them at night, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."
Lan Xingjun frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not up to us! If Dayue attacks at night, should we just sit back and ignore it?"
Lou Jindong thought for a while, "Pay close attention to every move of the Big Moon Army. Once they camp near the checkpoint, the best way is to strike first."
Lan Xingjun was startled.
For the gatekeeper, there is undoubtedly a huge advantage.
But Lou Jindong's intention was that he would rather give up this advantage than let the other party take the initiative.
How afraid are you of being attacked by the enemy at night?
Lan Xingjun couldn't help but be curious about how extraordinary the so-called divine weapons and artifacts were.
In fact, this strategy still makes sense. After all, they can't see anything clearly at night. They have no idea what those fires are and what those exploding things are.
At the very least, we need to figure out what those things are, unlike now, when tens of thousands of people died and we still don’t know what happened.
At least you can understand the frontal bar during the day.
Lou Jindong asked again: "You have all come to Rouge Mountain, what should you do over at Biandukou?"
Lan Xingjun replied: "Don't worry, General Lou. King Gran has reached an agreement with the Xirong tribe and given them some benefits. They will not unite with Dayue or invade Biandukou."
Lou Jindong asked: "What benefits were given? Are they willing to give up the horse breeding land in Rouge Mountain?"
Lan Xingjun said: "They asked for 3,000 fine war horses, and also requested that they be given 500 war horses every year in the future."
"hateful!"
Lou Jindong was furious, "These Xirong thieves have a big appetite. Did King Gran agree to them?"
Lan Xingjun said: "King Gran's intention is to give it to them first to stabilize them temporarily, and then deal with them after Da Yue is taken care of, and then take back the capital and profits together."
"So this time, we must defeat Otsuki."
Lou Jindong nodded.
This is a way, but it is not easy to defeat the Dayue Army.
"I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. That bullshit Prince Da Li is very good, cunning as a fox, and the number of Da Yue soldiers is not much different from ours..."
In fact, he wanted to say that it was impossible to defeat the Otsuki Army.
The other party has a lot of tricks to save, and they have been unable to capture all the weird and weird things before, from 80,000 to 30,000.
Nowadays, 80,000 versus 60,000 is undoubtedly more difficult.
Lan Xingjun smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Lou. Not only us, but also King Gran is preparing to lure the Huns from Heihe to help us."
What?
Lou Jindong frowned, "Let the Huns enter?"
The Xiongnu were in the grassland, and the access to the Hexi Corridor was either on the Western Region side, or at Ruoshui Pass, and there was another pass on the Heihe River.
Those who are weak to water are controlled by Da Yue and Da Li.
The Heihe Checkpoint is in the hands of Loulan. Although Loulan cooperates with the Huns, it is nothing more than profit. Obviously, he will not let the Huns enter rashly.
Lan Xingjun said: "King Lan has made an agreement with King Kunxie of the Xiongnu. This entry is only for Dayue and Dali. King Xiutu of the Xiongnu is fighting fiercely at Ruoshui Pass and Dali. As long as we defeat Dayue, we, Loulan, will The army, as well as the Xiongnu army of King Kunxie, then marched eastward and entered the west of Hexi."
Compared with the Western Regions, the Central Plains has vast resources and fertile land. It has been a place that countless people have dreamed of since ancient times.
Lou Jindong used to be the same.
But after these several defeats, he didn't seem to be so eager in his heart, but instead had a trace of inexplicable worry.
But he said: "Since King Gran has decided, we will go all out."
at the same time.
Bian Dukou.
A large army approached quickly, and Xu Da shouted loudly: "Hurry up, His Highness may have already reached Zhangzhou, we can't hold back."
"yes!"
The soldiers were full of fighting spirit and could not help but speed up their pace.
At this time, a soldier came quickly and said, "General Qi, we found Xirong troops following us from behind."
Xu Da glanced back and said, "Follow if you like!"
Along the way, the Xirong tribe has been following them, and Xu Da didn't care. After all, it was normal for people to be careful when borrowing roads on other people's territory.
However, it’s almost too late for me to speak, and it seems a little unreasonable to follow it up!
Of course, he didn't care. As long as the other party didn't cause trouble for him, he didn't bother to pay attention.
One of the accompanying generals was a little worried and said, "When we arrive at Biandukou in a while, they won't attack Loulan together, right?"
Xu Da said: "Don't think nonsense, if you really want to do that, then fuck him."
Soon, Biandukou was in sight.
"Who is it? If you dare to break into my Loulan checkpoint without permission, retreat immediately, otherwise..." Loulan soldiers on the checkpoint shouted.
Xu Da's pupils were bright and full of excitement, and he shouted: "It's Loulan, that's right, do it!"
Shuo Shuo Shuo! !
As soon as the voice fell, large crossbows were launched, and the arrows coated with tung oil caused the level to instantly burst into flames, and the dense rain of arrows directly submerged the level.
In the distance, the Xirong people who were watching were all dumbfounded.
Naturally, they did not want to take action against the group of people, but were ordered to see the combat power of the Southwest Allied Forces.
As a result, this first wave of attacks already amazed them. Under such an offensive, Biandukou was afraid...
