Chapter 940

When the empire was at war with the Rong people for a long time, generally speaking, they lost more and won less, and there were few victories.

The reason why this is so is due to the fact that the emperor is afraid of Rong, and generally avoids fighting head-on with the Rong people, and chooses to stick to the city.

In this way, they handed over the initiative to the Rong people, with no food and grass to help, and no reinforcements to help. Just nested in the turtle shell, waiting for the Rong clan to come and fight.

It is said that if you defend for a long time, you will lose, and the Rong people have been fighting for many years and have also accumulated some experience in attacking cities. In this situation, few cities in the empire have withstood the strong attack of the Rong people.

The mistakes made by the princes of the Northland, Li Xingya will not make them again. This time, he will not easily give the initiative to the enemy.

The Rong army was stationed outside Luofeng City, but only surrounded the west and north. The east and south are still in the hands of Li Xingzai, who still controls the passage from Yangzhou to Luofeng City.

With this, a steady stream of grain, grass and reinforcements can arrive in Luofeng City. If Yeyuan Fire wants to break through Luofeng City, it is not an overnight achievement.

And cutting off the grain route from Luofengcheng to Yangzhou has become a top priority for Yeyuan Fire.

The grain and grass transported from the south of the Yangtze River were first stored in Liuping Lake, and then transferred from Liuping Lake to Luofeng City.

In the middle of the night, the Rong general Nu Leimu led a group of Rong soldiers to ambush on both sides of the official road. After waiting for a while, a copper bell suddenly appeared in front of me. Angry Thunder suddenly cheered up, and said two words softly in his mouth: "It's here." ”

At this moment, I don't know how many hands clenched the weapon.

As soon as the voice landed, a group of people appeared on the road not far ahead.

"This is only the vanguard of the enemy, the food convoy is still behind, and don't startle the snake. ”

The Rong people were ambushed in the dense forest, each holding their breath and watching the patrol team pass through the ambush site.

The patrol and the grain convoy were about five miles apart, and after a while, a mule team appeared on the official road.

Seeing that the other party had entered the ambush circle, he roared angrily and led the soldiers to rush out.

This grain transportation team was in charge of Mulan, and when the ground covered up, she didn't panic at all. With the spear in his hand, he said a kill in his mouth, and rushed towards the enemy.

In the darkness of the night, the two sides fought each other. When the war has reached this point, grain and grass are naturally the top priority, and Li Xingzai will not be defenseless for the actions of the Rong clan.

Sending Hua Mulan to personally charge the grain shows that she attaches great importance to this matter. Even expected that the Rong clan would take action, in Li Xingzai's heart, transporting grain is a trivial matter at the moment, and killing the enemy is a major matter.

Mulan has been preparing for this battle for a long time, and she also needs a chance to make meritorious contributions to prove the value of her existence.

In this fight, both sides almost did not bargain. Hua Mulan failed to keep the food team and was burned by the Rong clan. But the Rong clan's Dajiang Thunder Eyes died in the hands of Mulan, and Mulan fought back, which can be regarded as a game for his own side.

But what happened here was only one insignificant of all that happened tonight.

Nohara Huoqin led a large army to attack Liuping Lake, wanting to destroy Li Xingzai's grain storage land in one fell swoop. If this battle can be successful, it can form a siege of Luofeng City.

The grain and grass could not be delivered, the reinforcements could not arrive, Li Xingzai only nested in Luofeng City, and there was only one ending waiting for him.

Song Youqu was in charge of the affairs of this place, and he had a heavy army in this place in advance.

When the wild plain fire came, Song Youqu stood in line while notifying Li Xingya, asking him to send someone to support.

The Rong people do not have access to water warfare, and the geographical location of Liuping Lake is mostly a water source, and the cavalry that the Rong people are good at is restricted. The two sides could only start a white-knuckle battle face to face, and for a time corpses were strewn all over the field, and blood flowed like a river.

Song Youqu held on to the formation and blocked round after round of strong attacks by the Rong clan. In the end, he paid a great sacrifice, but he held the position of Liubao Lake. In the end, before reinforcements arrived, Nohara was unable to do so and chose to retreat temporarily.

In this battle, although the Yeyuan fire did not break through the position of Liuping Lake, it also caused great casualties to the Jiangnan army. At the very least, he proved that he was capable of threatening the vital point of Li Xingya.

At the same time, Li Xingya also launched his action.

The big ship entered the sea, led an elite army into the hinterland of the Central Plains by sea, and made a move behind the back of the Rong people.

This mission is extremely important, so Ma Chao is in charge.

At night, the sea breeze on the shore was howling, and the big ship had already entered the sea, so in order not to leak the wind, only 3,000 people were transferred into the sea.

Li Xingzai took a deep breath and said, "The stakes in this battle are very important, and there is no room for mistakes. On the day of success, I celebrated General Ma's achievements in Chang'an. ”

Ma Chao knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will never live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

Li Xingzai was burdened with great shame and humiliation, and he wanted to do something wholeheartedly. Ma Chao didn't endure humiliation, he had a skill, but he still hadn't got the opportunity to show it. The heart is to find an opportunity to give the Rong people some color and get back the lost face.

He led 3,000 people into the hinterland of the Rong tribe, with no backup, no food and grass. Anyone knows it's a battle with no return. It's nothing more than tossing as much as possible and killing as many enemies as possible.

Ma Mengqi's task did not receive feedback in a short period of time, and it was almost impossible to have feedback. Grain, grass and logistics all need to be solved by Ma Mengqi himself.

Now that the war has not yet begun, it is only a small friction. It's nothing more than giving each other cold knives to prepare for a big war.

During the period when the war slowed down a little, Li Xingya and Nohara Huo received each other's letters almost at the same time.

Although the letters came from different people, they conveyed the same meaning: peace talks.

Nohara Huo's letter was handed to Li Xingya, and the letter said that everyone was calling around, and it was only the people of the world who suffered. Why don't the two families put down their swords and soldiers and rule the river.

Looking at the letter in front of him, Li Xingya had a headache. Because it's almost exactly the same letter he sent.

Since the war, the two sides have come into contact with each other several times. Large-scale operations have not yet begun, but small-scale conflicts have occurred from time to time.

The two sides also fought each other, and they broke their wrists hard.

However, why is the opponent's combat style so familiar?

Just as despicable, just as cunning, when you can fight a stick, you will never go to war head-on. Playing tricks behind your back and stumbling down. Pay attention to intelligence and be good at sneak attacks......

Now Li Xingya has a feeling of looking in the mirror, and the other party's shameless style is very much the charm of his youth. The Rong people are not heavy-handed and warlike, and they will never play with their hearts when they can fight hard.

Why now, the Rong clan has become so cunning in warfare.

"Nohara Fire ......"

Li Xingzai muttered these three words in his mouth, and until now, he had never met with Yeyuan Huo. It's just that the name seems familiar to him and seems strange at the same time.

I was confused, and I couldn't get an answer. Li Xingya immediately began to reply to Nohara Huo and discuss the matter of peace talks.

There should be an opportunity to meet.

Li Xingzai thought secretly.
