Above the wasteland, the purple-red "Luo"-shaped large flag floating high, and 30,000 soldiers and horses marched neatly.

Mai Tiebang took the generals above the generals to greet them, and personally reported the situation of the war.

Luo Zhaoyun is protected by eighteen new Yanyun cavalry. In front, on both sides and behind, there are 10,000 elite cavalry formations, like iron walls, and can deal with any sudden situation.

"Report—General Mai led his generals to welcome the general and report on military information."

"Transfer the order, walk for two miles and rest on the spot to rectify!"

"Get orders." The messenger turned around and went to convey military orders with his order flag on his back.

This is a detail worth noting when marching. If you stop immediately and the command is not prompt, it is easy to stop in some places, and some places cannot stop. The information cannot be completely synchronized, causing crowding, trampling, impact incidents, and the formation will collapse. Once enemy soldiers attack, their sharpness will be instantly eliminated and the morale of the army will be dispersed.

The team moves slowly and then stops consciously, and the formation will not change at any time. Strict military discipline and neat formation will help improve the self-discipline of the soldiers of the three armies, always strictly demand yourself, and suppress laziness.

In a moment, Mai Tiezhan carried more than a dozen generals, wearing iron armor, entered the central army and reported the vanguard's record to the commander.

After hearing this, Luo Zhaoyun spread out the map and said, "Currently, the main forces of the Northern Qi army are divided into two parts, part of which is in Beiping County, and part of which enters Yan County. The former has a military force of 50,000 and the latter has more than 30,000 troops. This time, the vanguard army won a great victory, defeating 30,000 main forces, and the remaining ones only fled back to Luan County. According to the spies' reward, the city's guards were originally only 3,000, which was a good time to conquer in one fell swoop. General Mai obeyed the order."

"The last one will be here!"

"I ordered you to bring the vanguard army and immediately besiege this city. Don't rush to attack. Focus on besieging the city to attack aid and absorb 10,000 troops outside Lulong City. I went to Yulin Pass to block the enemy troops in Beiping County, so that the enemy troops in Yan County could not go to Yan County to join, and also blocked the Northern Qi army and Khitans from western Liaoning and Liaodong outside the pass."

As soon as Mai Tiezhang heard this, he knew that Luo Shuai had another good move, which made the Northern Qi army exhausted and cut off its retreat, which affected the morale of the army, so he naturally could not continue the battle.

The only way to go is that the remnants of Northern Qi army went north, through the border area with the Khitan through Beiping County, borrowed the Khitan chassis, and returned to the western Liaoning area. The road was long and long.

"The task will be completed at the end."

"Haha, I can trust you, General Mai, everyone says that an old horse is in a stable state and has ambitions for thousands of miles. You are a good example. Although you are close to sixty years old, you are getting stronger and your courage has not gradually declined. This time, General Mai will bring more new generals in the area, give them some opportunities to train, and cultivate more talents to lead troops for our northern border garrison."

Mai Tiebang was praised in public and entrusted with important tasks. He was full of red light and felt very handsome. Some of the generals behind him were also a little excited after hearing this. If they were given a chance, they would try to lead more troops to temper their training. In the northern counties, they would soon be promoted with their military achievements.

"Don't worry, Luo Shuai, the men are very motivated. This time the generals are very brave. In time, many people will become more and more capable of taking on great responsibilities."

Mai Tiezhang couldn't help but praise a few words, giving his generals a face, making them feel grateful, and laying a good foundation for future cooperation.

Luo Zhaoyun showed relief and nodded, "Okay, under my army, I, Luo Cheng, will not rely on promotion, but rely on military achievements and strategies, and have real talents and knowledge. As long as you have outstanding talents and practical nature, you will be promoted. Don't worry, go to fight with confidence. Your family and relatives will be granted funds and benefits from the Governor's Office. Those who died in battle will be posthumously granted martyrs. The family will be exempted from taxes and pensions. Therefore, you don't have to worry about it!"

After hearing this, the generals felt a little sore in their noses. They were proud and honored that they could serve in such a humane army.

They were seven-foot men who joined the army and were not afraid of death, but were worried that after their death, their families would be poor, their mothers and children, and they lacked labor and could not live. The Governor's Office could directly improve the care of the soldiers' families, which could indeed weaken their concerns.

The general of the Mai Tie Staff left, returned to the vanguard team, set off immediately, and headed for Luancheng dozens of miles away.

This is a small city with a radius of only a few miles, with only 30,000 residents, most of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled. The strong men have already joined the army, among the Luo family army.

Therefore, the people in the city would not close their doors and would not help these Northern Qi people defend the city.

Although the people here once belonged to the Northern Qi people decades ago, after the establishment of the Great Sui Dynasty, population migration and cultural promotion, they did not have much sense of belonging to the Northern Qi family, which had a short lifespan.

Before the Northern Qi Dynasty, it was the Eastern Wei Dynasty, separated from the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Northern Wei Dynasty was mixed with Hu and Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty had little culture, so the people did not have such a strong sense of who was loyal to and what country.

For them, whoever has a big fist will listen to whoever gives more benefits, and whoever supports whoever gives more benefits.

At present, Luo Yi and his son govern the four northern counties and implemented many new policies, including reducing rent and interest rates, removing corvee labor, releasing relief grain, making money from working, sufficient materials, fine sea salt, and improving quality of life. Therefore, they are more willing to accept Luo Cheng's jurisdiction.

What the people want is that you truly consider them and satisfy the vital interests of the working people.

Mai Tiebang led 20,000 troops to surround Luancheng and sent cavalry to swim around. Once reinforcements come from Lu Long, they will immediately block, attack, and siege the city and attack the city, waiting for labor without any effort. If the casualties are too great, they will be several times more than the defenders.

Luo Zhaoyun adjusted his route, and his army bypassed Luan County and went directly to Yulin Pass in the northeast corner, where there were 10,000 enemy troops stationed, which was not difficult for him to seize.

The order of combat was changed and the Northern Qi army was broken. They thought that the Sui army would come first to rescue Lu Long, or advance little by little, attack the cities one by one, and prepare for perseverance, but they did not expect that Luan City was trapped and did not attack. Instead, the Northern Qi army outside Lu Long City had no place to settle down, and felt insecure.

General Gao Yonghu sent a deputy to Luancheng to rescue the siege and wanted to cooperate with the army inside and outside. However, before thousands of people approached Luancheng, they were intercepted by the cavalry and cut into several pieces, and the army was defeated.

Helanyi, in Lulong City, took the opportunity to attack with 6,000 troops and fought against the 5,000 troops under Gao Yonghu outside the city, and suffered casualties. However, Mai Tiezhang sent a thousand cavalry to wander, leading two or three thousand men left. He had no intention of fighting and fled directly to the direction of Yulin Pass.

When approaching Yulin Pass, Luo Cheng was in charge and was commanding the army to attack Xiong Pass. Gao Yonghu suddenly became depressed and led his troops to flee north, intending to use the passage to escape from Beiping County. He really had no courage to stay here.
