Chapter 92 Cloud Cong (3)
The next morning, Lu Yao's troops advanced and approached Luochuan.
Lu Yao went north to Dai County, and there were originally 1,300 troops. In addition, hundreds of troops surrendered to the Douluji army, Ding Zhuang from the Bomei army, the total number was more than 2,000, and the momentum was much stronger than before. Along the way, brave generals such as Ding Miao, Liu Xia personally led the light cavalry to attack and defeated several Hu people and horse teams who came to covet the exploration. They didn't care about where they came from, and they all cut off their heads and took them away.
After about half an hour of their departure, the Luochuan bandits determined that they had become the target of the Jin army's attack. The tragic fate of the horse thieves in Douluji was still in front of them, and the Luochuan bandits did not dare to fight against this unknown enemy. So they actively repaired the dock walls and organized the people of the ministry to defend themselves, determined to use tough defense to consume the enemy's strength.
Lu Yao led his troops to advance without hesitation until Matou Mountain, southeast of Daiwang City.
According to historical records, "Zhao Xiangzi went to Xia's house north and asked the King of Dai to ask the chef to carry copper materials to replace the king and followers, and used materials to kill the King of Dai and the officials, and then launched an army to pacify the Dai." The King of Dai was Zhao Xiangzi's brother-in-law. Zhao Xiangzi killed the King of Dai, and his sister said in great grief: "It is not a benevolent to be a brother, but it is not a righteous man. The brother of the Dai has been destroyed, so where will I return?" So Maozhai thorned his neck and committed suicide in the stalactite hole on Matou Mountain. Therefore, Matou Mountain is also called Mozhai Mountain.
Looking up to the high place of Matou Mountain, you can see the full view of the Dai Royal City. This is the capital of the four Dai Kingdoms, which have been carefully managed in the past dynasties. Although it has gradually become destructive for hundreds of years, the foundation of a great power that dominated the northern border was extraordinary. From a distance, you can see that two inner and outer walls are surrounded by dozens of miles, and the scale is large. The city walls are built with layers of loess, and pebbles and mortar are added to the soil layer, which are extremely solid. Although it has been destroyed by time, the wall foundations of many places are still about meter high, which is very majestic.
The wall of Luochuan thieves is located on a gentle slope platform in the southwest corner of the ruins of Daiwang City. This is probably the palace of the king of the past, showing a regular square shape. Although the two city gates on the north and south sides have collapsed and the walls have been mostly damaged, they built a wooden arrow tower at each corner of the platform, which is high and very deterrent.
Until this time, there were still many people running around on the dock wall, obviously with a lot of staff. On the tower, there seemed to be someone looking into this direction and pointing fingers.
It is probably not that easy to capture this wall. The enemy occupies a lot of geography, and there are many Zahu tribes around who covet their own army that may become supporters at any time. This situation is very complicated.
But Lu Yao is a soldier, a soldier who has come from countless fierce battles. His fierce fighting spirit, perseverance and courage to face difficulties are Lu Yaoyi's strength to make achievements. Facing the thousands of troops of the Huns, he dares to fight bravely. What is this mere base of a horse thief in the northern border?
"This situation is very good. Yesterday we gathered too many newly recruited troops, and there are many people at both ends of the rat. At this time, we need to rely on hard battles to screen them." Lu Yao laughed murderously and said to the generals and officers standing in front of him: "We will fight this battle like this..."
In the former site of Daiwang City, dozens of people surrounded their leader's horse suits in panic in panic.
This fierce bandit who had made a name for himself in the northern border was now in his twilight years. His thin body leaned against the couch, his hands as dry as bird's claws were held in front of his chest, and his wrinkled eyelids drooped, as if he was dozing off, and he didn't hear anything from the people around him.
What was discussing in the hall was Ma Fu's three sons, the current leader of the Luochuan thief.
The second son Ma Tsui, who had a blue-faced face and sparse beard, was a think tank that everyone trusted. He was explaining the enemy's movements to the other two: "Look, this is Matou Mountain, this is Qi Yishui, and this is Dai Wangcheng behind it. It is not a solution to defend Dai Wangcheng. We have to block the enemy's army on the other side of Qi Yishui!"
The eldest son Ma Cuo, who was full of flesh and fat, was ignorant of his eyes. But he was a fierce personality and a famous general among the Luochuan thieves. Hearing Ma Cuo's words, Ma Cuo hugged his shoulders with his hands and said proudly: "It's easy. The west bank of Qiyi River is smooth and the east bank is steep. I only need to give me two hundred cavalry. When the enemy crosses the river, he will rush back to him, and the one who cannot be killed will fall into the river and drowned."
"I am worthy of being the eldest brother, heroic! Good at fighting! Brave! What a man!" The one who was flattering was Ma Kong, Ma Fu's third son. Although this man was big and thick, he was actually a timid character. He was quite thoughtful and tried hard to instigate Ma Zhuo to charge in the battle.
"Brother said it well, just do it!" Ma slapped the table and pointed at a minion: "You go and mobilize the troops and be ready to go out at any time!"
"Kill it! Kill it! Kill it all!" The minion seemed to have a bad mind, and roared a few times with a cruel expression on his face and rushed out.
The horse suit, which had always closed its eyes and rested, suddenly burst out with a heart-wrenching cough. The three sons hurriedly rushed forward and took care of them carefully. After coughing for a while, the horse suit was gradually calming down. He asked hoarsely: "Are the brothers sent to contact Tujili and Yang Feixiang, are they back?"
The Luochuan thieves are not ordinary horse thieves, but they have always had close contacts with the bandits in the northern border. Two of them have the best relationship, and they are the Qianghu thief nicknamed Feibao and the Changshan giant Yang Feixiang tribe. Yesterday, the horse thieves in the Douluji tribe took the lead in robbing the caravan and were annihilated. After Mafu received the news, he immediately sent envoys to contact the two allies.
Ma replied carefully: "I have just come to report and I have already returned. It's just because the enemy soldiers are in a hurry, and I haven't had time to call me to ask..."
Ma Fu shook his head repeatedly, knowing that the three sons were really panicked. He slapped the bed with a heavy blow: "Call in immediately!"
“Yes…yes…”
Several people were brought into the conference hall to convey the oral message between Tujili and Yang Feixiang.
Both horse thieves knew the fate of the Douluji tribe and the Bomei tribe. As the horse fu predicted, both families were furious about this. Tujili and Yang Feixiang both asked people to bring messages to the horse fu. Although this army that broke into Dai County still has no identity, since it has successively destroyed the two tribes, the hostility has been very clear. The various Zahu tribes in Dai County have been used to being free and free for decades. No matter what their origins are, no matter what their intentions are, they will never allow them to run rampant.
At this moment, the leaders of each family had sent troops and were about to surround the enemy from all directions. Among them, Tujili's troops have been following the enemy for thirty or fifty miles since noon yesterday, but they have not found a good opportunity to take action. Only by doing so, the horse suits can hold the enemy in Dai Wangcheng, and the soldiers and horses can gather together within half a day, and they will definitely flatten them in one fell swoop.
"Okay! OK!" After hearing this message, the three sons were overjoyed and said happily: "With the leaders of each family sending troops to help, this battle will be won!"
The horse moaned angrily and immediately calmed the three of them. The old man looked at his three sons coldly, and was secretly angry at their incompetence.
"Reinforcements can arrive within half a day, so you are very happy. Then you guys, why can Tujili and Yang Feixiang move so quickly?"
Ma Cuo and three others looked at each other several times, and Ma replied, "That's because they had already ordered their troops the day before yesterday. There were rumors that a large-scale caravan would come to Dai County. Many tribal leaders wanted to get a share of the pie, so the west of Pingshu, as north, had long sent troops southward and planned to participate in this looting."
The horse suit waved his hand, and the maid behind him immediately brought half a cup of honey water. The horse suit touched his lips and sipped in a small mouthful, gasped for a while, and asked again: "Where is this caravan now?"
Ma sneered and shook his head repeatedly: "Where did the caravan come from? Now it seems that this is clearly a rumor that someone deliberately released..."
"No!" He suddenly jumped up, his face pale as if it was chalk: "Father, what do you mean... was this rumor released by the enemy army? In order to attract all the heroes of Dai County? Even, the purpose of releasing this rumor was to be exposed. The leaders of each family were furious because of being deceived. They quickly mobilized their troops, and thus the situation where all the troops gathered south of Dai County within two days..."
He approached the horse suit carefully and whispered nervously: "Father, are you saying that this is simply a trap set by the enemy?"

Thanks to Mr. Ni Yi for his support. The first hall master appeared, and the crab and crab friends were shocked.
