Jie Fenghuo nodded sharply, and Jie Cheng warned again: "Qiang Xing's military achievements are so great. If word spreads, even your father will not be able to protect you. Besides, what General Ganguo said is not entirely true. You can't just rely on it."
Just make wild guesses based on just a few words, and be careful not to fall into the trap of Da Gan’s thieves.?
"The child knows the seriousness. It is not convenient for General Dagan to elaborate on the situation at that time. Fenghuo thought about it carefully afterwards. If he did not have other intentions, General Dagan would not be so sure."
Jie Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I understand, you can go out."
Jie Fenghuo bowed respectfully and exited the hall. Jie Cheng gently stroked the edge of the teacup with his hand and said coldly to himself: "Qiang Xingzhi."
After the Xirong army negotiated, the Yingchou Gorge garrison frequently went into battle. For more than twenty days, troops were sent out almost every day to plunder Mu Tianlang's food and grass, and occasionally besieged Mu Tianlang's camp.
Go, not eager to fight.
However, what the right commander of Xirong never expected was that Mu Tianlang didn't seem to take the Xirong army's grain robbery to heart, and just allowed Huchajing to lead a battalion of cavalry to intercept and fight in Dizhou.
The Xirong cavalry. If the Xirong people are large and powerful, the Yueqi camp will avoid the sharp point and follow behind them from a distance. Once they find the opportunity, they will immediately march up and kill the Xirong cavalry.
In the first battle between the two armies, Xirong had the upper hand, and more than half of the grain and grass brought into Dizhou were robbed or burned.
Unexpectedly, what shocked the Xirong generals was that the Shuangfeng camp had endless supplies of food and grass. As long as the food and grass were robbed, new food and grass would be transported to the Mutianlang camp within two days. At most, three armies were escorting them in one day.
forage.
All the generals in Xirong sighed. Dagan was in a state of turmoil, but the accumulation of hundreds of years was beyond the desolate land of Xirong.
Jie Cheng's heart sank, and he could already see that something was fishy. The soldiers and horses had not moved, and the food and grass went first. It was unusual for Mu Tianlang to despise the army's supplies. In addition, these soldiers from the heavenly army reported that they sent troops to rob food every day.
The casualties are increasing.
When the troops were first dispatched, casualties were only a few dozen per trip. In recent days, hundreds of soldiers were killed each time the troops were dispatched. The most severe one was when they were surrounded by Huchajing's cavalry battalion. Three thousand cavalrymen fled back to Yingchou.
No more than half of the gorge.
It was just that the supply of food and grass to various departments in the army was becoming increasingly abundant, and no one noticed the changes in the Mutianlang cavalry. It was not until the Xirong army failed to plunder food and grass for three consecutive days that Jie Cheng woke up and hurriedly summoned the generals of the army.
Discussion. When asked, Jie Cheng was extremely shocked. In more than twenty days, the Xirong army lost more than 6,000 cavalry. This is better. Compared with the food and grass taken back to the camp, the gain is more than worth the loss.
However, what makes Jie City eclipse is that the Mutianlang cavalry becomes more and more courageous as they fight. When they first encounter the Xirong cavalry, it is mostly difficult to fight back. As the two armies fight more and more, Huchajing becomes more and more skillful.
The Muzhou Rangers were famous all over the world, and they truly showed their bravery. It was not until the last three days that the Yue Cavalry camp fought against each other and defeated several Xirong armies, forcing the Xirong cavalry to flee back to Yingchou Gorge in panic.
When the generals heard this, they all lost their composure. They did not expect that Mu Tianlang would be so bold and use food and grass to lure Xirong to send troops. They also did not expect that Mu Tianlang's baggage was so abundant that even Di Jie did not dare to do so.
A big deal. In the past, the Xirong soldiers were often confused by food and fought many battles. They robbed the food first, which did not harm the Mu Tianlang cavalry. On the contrary, Xirong suffered a lot of losses.
Jie Cheng hurriedly issued an order, ordering all the Xirong cavalry to go into battle, using plundered food as bait, and severely damaged Mu Tianlang's Yueqi camp. He never thought of leaking the news. He failed to lure the enemy, but was attacked by Liu Ce and Huchajing, causing thousands of casualties.
Jie Cheng personally supervised the battle, and finally saw the world-famous Muzhou cavalry, who came and went like the wind on the battlefield, and did not fall behind the elite cavalry of Xirong.
Seeing Shi Shiran of the Yueqi battalion retreating to Mu Tianlang camp, Jie Cheng was furious and marched his army to besiege Mu Tianlang camp. However, Mu Tianlang sent troops this time, except for Kuang Lizhe and Qin Shutong who stayed at Shuangfeng.
Outside the camp, all the soldiers and horses of the army entered Dizhou. In addition to the more than 10,000 Hu cavalry camp led by Ding Zhan, Liu Ce called Cha Jing's troops to have no less than 80,000 soldiers, and there were many generals. The city of Jie stretched from Xirong to Yingchou Gorge.
The army only numbered 80,000. Mu Tianlang continued to use defense as offense as usual. It was difficult for Xirong to have a good strategy at the moment, let alone encirclement and suppression.
Such a march has never been heard of in Jicheng. Food and grass are the basis of marching. Who would want Mu Tianlang to go the opposite way? If it were a normal day, Jicheng would not be afraid. On other days, even if Mu Tianlang has abundant food and grass, he would not be able to withstand it.
After all this trouble, today, Xirong has no way out. The Shuoxi Palace sent several messages, asking Jie Cheng to break through the Dagan military camp as soon as possible and rescue Sheng Yin.
Jie Cheng sent several secret letters in succession, writing about the pros and cons, so that the wealthy Xirong family could temporarily suppress their anger. However, more than 20 days have passed, the weather in Xifu has warmed up, and Mu Tianlang's camp is still in Dizhou, not even an inch moved.
, Not to mention that Li Luo actually regarded Luocao Mountain as the back garden of the palace, and had no intention of returning to Shuangfeng Camp.
The anger of the Xirong clan was rising day by day. At the worst moment, someone scolded Jialuo in the court hall. There were even rumors in Shuoxi City that Jialuo had borrowed the help of Dagan to kill Zushan Shengyin in order to consolidate the imperial power.
.
In recent years, Jia Luo has become more and more powerful. He planned to marry Chang Ning and forced Chang Ning to escape from Xirong. Only a few prominent families in Xirong knew about this. Once the news spread, all the clans in Xirong knew the whole story, and they were secretly angry.
Changning fell into the enemy's hands, and Jialuo didn't seem to care much. For more than two months, the Xirong army had not made any achievements. Military reports came back from Jiecheng, and they only talked about the robbery of grain, but Changning was still in the hands of Li Luo, and was destroyed by these prominent Xirong families.
After a lot of scolding and no holy guidance, what's the point of asking for food and grass?
Rumors circulated, and thoughtful people from the Xirong tribes made detailed speculations, which turned out to be more credible and added to the resentment of the tribes. Many thoughtful people walked secretly, contacting various tribes, and wanted to abolish Jialuo in the name of the ancestral temple.
When Jia Luo found out the news, he was furious. However, it was a troubled time and Jia Luo could not act rashly to avoid the public anger. Things had happened in the Ancestral Temple for decades. Although Jia Luo was ambitious, it was difficult for him to capture it all at once.
After the news that Chang Ning was kidnapped disappeared, the Ancestral Temple sent dozens of highly skilled Zushan to guide them, and dispatched two elders to rescue them. However, Dizhou was full of soldiers, and the army was fighting in all directions. The masters of the Ancestral Temple were not close at all.
Can't go to the Luocao Mountain area.
The tribes of Xirong also sent their masters to secretly follow the people in the ancestral temple, running around asking for help. Most of the generals in the Xirong army were children of various tribes. The elders of the tribes all asked for war and sent troops, but Jialuo just refused and just added.
The tribesmen were somewhat resentful, and the Xirong tribes were even more dissatisfied due to the previous concealment of the news. For a moment, Shuoxi actually felt a bit precarious. (To be continued.)
