The first thousand two hundred and eighty-six chapters hide the sword
Luoke Mountain.
The altitude of Luoke Mountain is not high and the mountain is not steep, but its special geographical location makes it a must-win place.
If we can hold Luoke Mountain in our hands, it can be used as a barrier to form angles with the several passes behind it, blocking the Dashi army on the other side of the mountain.
Of course, on the continent of Nanyang, the Dashi army could choose to take a detour.
However, if you want to bypass the area radiated by Luoke Mountain, you must spend more time and energy, which can be said to be more gain than loss.
On the contrary, if the control of Luoke Mountain is captured by Dashi, then we can use this as a basis to advance, attack, retreat and defend.
But Di Xin did not intend to go there in person.
This time he went on a personal expedition, but he did not need to personally participate in every battle.
In the command post, Emperor Xin handed an order flag to Ouyang Xuan and ordered: "Mr. An, you must lead 30,000 elite troops to capture Luoke Mountain."
"I obey my orders!"
An Junshan took the order flag with both hands, his face full of solemnity.
Then Di Xin looked at Ouyang Xuan and continued to order: "Ouyang, you lead ten thousand troops and are ready to respond at any time to prevent Dashi from setting a trap."
"yes!"
Ouyang Xuan also took the command flag with both hands and accepted the order with dignity.
In addition, two innate masters, Liu Jiande and Zhao Quan, will also follow An Junshan and participate in the battle as surprise soldiers when necessary.
And among the remaining strong men in the second realm.
Shen Qianhua and Xizi are licensed warlocks and are not suitable for legion combat, so they will stay at the bridgehead. While sitting in charge, they are also responsible for managing the three production lines in the camp.
Yaoluo Ge Tongjian and Pu Gong will take turns taking charge in several mines close to Dashi as the garrison is mobilized.
Their mission is to guard against sneak attacks by enemy masters on the garrison generals.
The existence of extraordinary beings means that although the army is equipped with firearms, there is really not much that can be done about this kind of decapitation.
However, they also maintained some restraint.
If both parties carry out beheading operations without scruples, then in the end it will only result in a lose-lose situation for both parties. Therefore, except for some special garrison points, Dali and Dashi will basically not use this tactic against each other.
And those who can be responsible for stationing at a certain level basically have a certain level of cultivation.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful Yaoluo Ge Tongjian and Pu Gong are, they cannot guard all the garrison points by themselves.
The next day, An Junshan and Ouyang Xuan headed towards Luoke Mountain with 30,000 and 10,000 troops respectively.
In addition to the logistics personnel, the original 90,000 elite troops were now divided into 40,000 fewer troops to guard various passes and mines.
There are only 10,000 elite soldiers left in the camp.
Di Xin counted the remaining soldiers and horses in the camp with a smile on his face.
He has reached this point, and some people should also...
"You've been fooled!"
…
One month later.
Anjunshan led 30,000 elite soldiers to the foot of Luoke Mountain.
A decent-sized mountain peak means that although it is a very important pass, it is not a difficult pass.
Therefore, the "easy to defend but difficult to attack" here is also due to the difficulty of charging from the bottom up, which is an advantage that all mountains have.
That's right, just as the Dashi army arrived in Nanyang three days earlier than the Dali Expeditionary Army.
Step by step, Anjun Mountain did not slow down the marching speed on the road, but it was a little slower after all. Now Luoke Mountain has been occupied by the Dashi army.
And trenches were built.
Fortunately, this is all expected.
But Anjunshan did not directly order the attack.
The enemy army was waiting for work, while the expeditionary force rushed thousands of miles to attack.
A thousand-mile raid is not a thousand-mile surprise attack. It is a taboo for military strategists to force a war under such circumstances.
Although there are no natural dangers in Luoke Mountain, the slope of the mountain is one of its advantages. Dashi does not seem to want to give up this advantage and sends troops down the mountain to fight against Dali.
Of course, some harassment still occurs.
However, although there were no harassers, there was no danger to the expeditionary force. The army successfully stationed itself at the foot of Luoke Mountain.
Then there were three days of testing each other.
In this battle for Luoke Mountain, not only did Dali dispatch nearly half of its troops, Dashi also used nearly 30,000 troops.
Relying on the advantages of Luoke Mountain, the combat effectiveness of these 30,000 troops may be even stronger than that of the expeditionary force.
Not to mention, among the 40,000 troops dispatched against Luoke Mountain this time, 10,000 troops led by Ouyang Xuan will not participate in the frontal attack.
Ouyang Xuan will lead his troops to put pressure on the enemies on Luoke Mountain from the side, and guard against Luoke Mountain's backhand.
Therefore, before he was sure that Luokeshan had no backup plan or had exhausted all his backup plans, he would basically not choose to take action unless Anjunshan was defeated.
In the end, it was still 30,000 troops versus 30,000 troops, but one was in a condescending position, and the other had to brave artillery fire to attack from above.
But even so, the attack must be attacked.
He also knew the importance of Luoke Mountain. If he didn't capture it before Dashi had established complete fortifications, it would be even more difficult to capture it in the future.
It can be expected from Anjun Mountain that with Luoke Mountain as the center, this place will definitely become a meat grinding mill.
"What a bloody storm!"
Suddenly, he seemed to smell the strong smell of blood.
Although, the attack has not started yet.
But in my heart, I felt faintly excited.
Anjun Mountain was called "Madman An" by the Huns who occupied the grassland. Since he was a madman, he was naturally not a peaceful and kind person.
However, over the years, the situation has forced him, the commander-in-chief, to sit in northern Xinjiang. Except for the expedition against the Xiongnu, he had only had the opportunity to listen to battle reports from the rear during the past few years of war.
With his previous achievements as a basis, and with his current position, he is not lacking in such merits. Not to mention that although he is in the rear, he already has a share of the achievements of the expeditionary force.
He just doesn't want to sit in the rear anymore.
He has been suppressing it ever since he conquered the Huns.
If this wasn't the arrangement of His Royal Highness, he would have been unable to hold it in any longer.
In the counter-ambush against Dashi when they landed in Nanyang, he was the one who fought the hardest.
But An Junshan didn't know that, apart from the situation, the fact that he had been stationed in Northern Xinjiang for many years was also intentional by Emperor Xin.
It’s for this moment.
Hide the knife in the sheath. The longer you hide it, the sharper it will be when you take it out of the sheath.
And Anjunshan was worthy of Di Xin's painstaking restraint over the years. When the shackles of this fierce general were taken away, the fierceness that had been accumulated for many years broke out, and he was called scornful.
In just three days, the Dashi army stationed at Luoke Mountain saw what true ferocity was.
