In the past three days, Luoke Mountain was bombed to pieces, and the two armies at the bottom of the mountain were killed inextricably, and the army at Anjun Mountain was even driven back to the foot of the mountain.
However, he never made any move.
Even with the distance between the two places, it wouldn't even take him an hour to support him.
But he still did nothing.
Everyone has his or her own mission, and war cannot be won simply by being reckless.
His mission is to stop all enemy reinforcements heading to Luoke Mountain.
Whether they are reinforcements that have been prepared in advance or temporarily planned reinforcements, they must all be stopped until Anjun Mountain captures Luoke Mountain.
And until three days later, the flag representing the Dashi army on the top of Dangluoke Mountain was chopped down by Anjun Mountain without any reinforcements.
Looking at the smoke that had not yet been extinguished on Luoke Mountain from a distance, Ouyang Xuan frowned.
Ouyang Xuan didn't believe that Dashi could not see the importance of Luoke Mountain. Even though the number of troops on Luoke Mountain was not small, it should not be limited to that one arrangement.
"So, is Dashi just giving up?"
Ouyang Xuan's eyes were gloomy. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand to summon a messenger and came down and said: "Go to Luoke Mountain and report to the Andu Commander. No reinforcements have appeared in Dashi until now."
"When Luoke Mountain is fully deployed, I will ask Commander Andu to come over. I have something to discuss."
"yes!"
After the messenger left, he whispered to himself: "I always feel that something is not quite right."
Building complete fortifications on Luoke Mountain is not something that can be accomplished in one day. This is obviously not what Ouyang Xuan means when he talks about setting up defenses.
Half a day later, Anjun Mountain completed the basic defense based on the fortifications built by Dashi before, and then followed the messenger to Ouyang Xuan, north of Luoke Mountain.
After following His Highness the Crown Prince on expeditions for several years and going through many hardships, Ouyang Xuan was no longer a fledgling at the beginning, so An Junshan would not ignore his words.
Since Ouyang Xuan said he had something to discuss, he must have noticed something unusual.
Although An Junshan is "crazy", he is not a brainless warrior.
It's just that all his energy in the past few days has been spent on attacking Luoke Mountain. Therefore, although he knew that this should be related to the reinforcements that did not appear in Dashi, he could not think of anything more.
Simply put, since Ouyang Xuan noticed something unusual, it would be best to listen to his thoughts.
On this other land far away from Dali, the enemy we face is also a powerful empire that is not weaker than Dali, so the more careful we are, the better.
…
"I have seen you in my humble position, sir."
Seeing An Junshan's arrival, Ouyang Xuan hurriedly welcomed him out and apologized again and again: "Excuse me, sir, please go there in person. Please don't blame me."
"Your words are serious, nephew. You and I are working for His Highness the Crown Prince. There is nothing to blame or blame."
An Junshan waved his hand and said that he didn't mind that Ouyang Xuan Yuju asked him to come over, but he still teased: "But if you ask me to come here just to drink tea, then I will have to say something."
.”
"I don't dare to do this in a humble position."
Ouyang Xuan smiled and relaxed his body.
Logically speaking, he, a fellow commander of the capital, should actually visit the capital commander. However, in order to deal with the reinforcements that appear at any time in Dashi, what his army needs is reaction speed, and naturally he, the commander, cannot.
Leave your team.
Even if it is less than an hour away from Luoke Mountain.
In fact, both of them understood this truth. They were just polite words in officialdom.
"No more gossip."
An Junshan smiled and quickly turned to the topic, asking seriously: "My nephew called me over so anxiously. What do you want to discuss?"
The smile disappeared from Ouyang Xuan's face.
He turned sideways and guided: "Sir, please speak in the room."
An Junshan nodded and followed Ouyang Xuan into the temporary command post.
After everyone sat down, Ouyang Xuan served tea and said, "Sir, I have been waiting here for three days, but the scouts sent out did not notice any signs of enemy support."
An Junshan nodded again: "I already know about this matter."
When the messenger went to Luoke Mountain, he had already reported the matter to him.
"Is there something wrong?"
"It is a good thing that there are no reinforcements, so that we will have more time to strengthen the defenses of Luoke Mountain."
After Ouyang Xuan pondered for a while, he hesitated and said: "But I have been feeling uneasy in my heart. It seems that something has been ignored."
Ouyang Xuan asked: "Where?"
"I won't hide it from you, sir. I don't know how humble my position is."
Ouyang Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "It is precisely because I couldn't think of anything unusual, but the uneasiness in my heart has not diminished, that I sent someone to invite you to come over and discuss the matter together."
Hearing this, An Junshan also fell silent.
Of course, he didn't feel that Ouyang Xuan was taking a random shot. On the battlefield, it was always right to be more cautious. Even if there was no evidence of uneasiness, it should not be completely ignored.
Not to mention, this uneasiness is not without clues.
"Clue..."
An Junshan thought in his heart and couldn't help but uttered it.
"The importance of Luoke Mountain is self-evident. What is it that Dashi should do even if he gives up trying to snatch Luoke Mountain?"
"Where did those troops go?"
Naturally, he would not believe that there was no one in Dashi.
Shortly after landing in Nanyang, they clearly investigated the number of troops sent out for this great meal.
Dashi's army has 20,000 more troops than the Dali Expeditionary Force, because Dashi's side could not have given up the war to support Luoke Mountain because they were short of manpower.
And Luo Keshan definitely cannot fall into the opponent's hands at will.
The 30,000 enemy troops on Luoke Mountain previously proved that Dashi also recognized the strategic position of Luoke Mountain and also sent heavy troops.
Therefore, there must be a more important reason for them to give up supporting Luoke Mountain.
More important equals greater value.
After hearing An Junshan's words, Ouyang Xuan's body trembled. He stood up suddenly and pulled off the map from the wall, spread it on the table, and started tracing with his fingers starting from Luoke Mountain.
Then they rowed all the way to the place where they landed in Nanyang.
Ouyang Xuan slumped down on the chair and smiled bitterly.
For the Dali Expeditionary Force, there is only one place in Nanyang that is more important than Luoke Mountain.
The bridgehead established by the Dali Expeditionary Force in Nanyang is the starting point and the last line of defense.
But now it seems... it may not necessarily be the last line of defense.
