After marching to Hongnong, the armored army did not march along the line of Mianchi, but went south around Gushui and marched to the foot of Bear's Ear Mountain from the southwest of Luoyang.

The Montenegrin army has not yet invaded Hongnong County in the west, but the area of Luoyang and Xingyang east of Hongnong has been occupied by the Montenegrin army, and it is very unwise to confront more than 100,000 Montenegrin troops head-to-head once they fall into the formation, so Ma Yue has to rely on the cover of the mountains and forests to touch the hinterland of the Montenegrin army step by step.

Although it was difficult for the scouts to blend into the hinterland of Luoyang, based on the strength of the enemy's defenses along the way, Ma Yue concluded that the enemy's grain and grass camp should be in the Yanshi city southeast of Luoyang.

Only that place can not only garrison the army to set up defenses, but also hoard a large amount of grain and grass.

He is going to attack the Montenegrin army's grain and grass camp, and it is difficult for anyone to defeat the 100,000 Montenegrin army, but as long as the warriors in Luoyang City are brave and loyal enough, the Luoyang Emperor will never be attacked by this rabble from the outside.

People are iron and steel, as long as two meals can't keep up, the vicious Montenegrin army can become soft-footed shrimp.

Ma Yue's wishful thinking was to destroy the grain and grass camp from the inside, and then block the eight passes from the outside to the inside by the princes from all over the country, and block the Montenegrin army in Luoyang, and it only took half a month for the Montenegrin army to break itself.

Of course, the best state is that he will enter Luoyang City first, and the princes from all over the country will block the pass from outside. Because the starving Montenegrin army must be fierce and dangerous to counterattack, if 100,000 people attack the city regardless of life and death, only with the two armies of the north and south that were squandered by the Yuan family, the gods of heaven could not guarantee the emperor's safety. Ma Yue could not abandon the emperor, nor could he abandon the opportunity to revisit Luoyang.

Luoyang has too much danger to him, and with the danger is the temptation to watch the world fall apart in his hands.

When he came out of Tongguan, he thought clearly, everything that taught him to pay his life to fight once, he would not just play.

No matter who it is, don't think about defeating him on the land of Luoyang, Yuan Shao can't do it, and neither can Zhang Yan!

He exterminated the entire Yang Dang clan in Chang'an, he defended in Weinan for ten years, he broke the thief Kou in Xingyang, he ambushed Sun Jian in Yanshi, he erected a recruitment list in Duting, and he defeated Yuan Shu in Henan.

Every inch of land here has his footsteps, every citizen has heard of his deeds, and every city has traces of his battles. Although he was a native of Liangzhou, when the horse's hooves set foot on this land again, he felt a tremor from the deepest part of his soul, which was a feeling that only had blood connection, and the mind was more intuitive than the body.

He's the uncrowned king here!

……

In the dark night, you can hear the murmur of the southward flow of the Yishui River, which is led into the moat by an artificial canal. This city is called Lu Hun, and it is twenty-six miles away from Lu Hun Pass.

When the Han Dynasty was destroyed, the Red Mei Rebellion attacked Chang'an in the west and the soldiers were divided into two routes, one of which passed through here, and went in the opposite direction of Mayue.

The Han flag at the head of Luhun City has been lowered, and the bonfires flickering in the night wind flicker at the head of the city, and the defender of this city is a mediocre, but at least a battle-hardened mediocrity. Because his defenders did not know how to guard the walls, they set up a barracks outside the city with horns and looked out according to the generals.

Ma Yue didn't speak, he buckled his veil in the woodland between the mountains, leaving only a pair of eyes with a cold smile, and waved his hand lightly.

The three thousand-strong teams touched out, and the sound of steel inevitably sounded in their footsteps, and the sound of steel in the forest at night made the hearts of the listeners twitch, but Ma Yue did not worry at all.

After half a year of study in Shanglin Shuyuan, the prince who won the appreciation of his courage has made great progress in military strategy, and what he remembers most is the experience of Ma Yue, the auxiliary general in the library, when he pacified the Yellow Turban. Ma Yue said that even if the peasant revolt was armed, it was still a rabble with low morale, and it would collapse without the slightest damage. Therefore, to fight the people who rise at sunrise and rest at sunset, they only need to let them know that they are surrounded at night, and their hearts will panic. Because the people can't see clearly at night, but the armoured army can.

It sounds like a proud joke, but the Covered Army is well-nourished, and their physical qualities are far beyond being surpassed by bravery alone. No matter how brave the night blind man is, he is still blind at night.

When Gan Ning swam across the moat with his dismounted armored light horse and threw the hook and rope at the head of the city, the camp outside was already in chaos, and a large number of bows and arrows were thrown into the camp in the dark night, and there were screams and wails everywhere.

This is a group of machines born for war, and the land that gave birth to them determines that they are born to deal with wars that are more tense than the rhythm of the Central Plains, and the military system of Liangzhou in the Ma Yue era has shaped them into killing machines specializing in war. Every armored sergeant was loyal enough to the name Ma Yue. On the day they put on their armor, they knew that they were born for Liangzhou and would eventually die for Ma Yue.

"With one blow to ten, don't be good at bad luck; With ten strikes to a hundred, don't be good at risk; With a thousand blows, there is no good way to block. Ma Yue sat upright on the stool, and Yang Feng, who was standing next to him, led the horses of the two. There were countless armored soldiers standing in the forests on both sides, he glanced up at Yang Aruo, and said, "This is what Wu Qi said, the imperial envoys must fight in the open terrain of the Great Plains. Luoyang, there are few flat roads, which is also the reason why the yellow scarf is invincible between Qingxu and Qingxu. Ah Ruo, this time King Qin made me understand a truth. ”

"Huh?" Yang Feng didn't turn his head, his eyes scanned the surrounding environment, and he always watched the battle situation under the hillside. Ma Yue said: "What the people need is not war, even if it is a big victory, they don't need it. As long as the war starts first, it will definitely be scolded. But if someone takes the lead in starting the war, and I quell the war with lightning speed, I will be loved by the whole world. ”

Yang Feng only turned his head at this time and looked at Ma Yue, his expression could not be seen under the cover of his mask, but Ma Yue could hear the seriousness in his words, "Lord, what do you want?" Whether you want the world to be stable, or immerse yourself in the love of others and get lost, you start wars again and again, and the territory of Liangzhou is getting bigger and bigger, but it is also becoming more and more dangerous. ”

Ma Yue nodded slightly, he knew that Yang Feng was warning himself not to play with the excuse of pacifying the war. But he could not give an affirmative answer, and there was always a sense of uneasiness in his heart, which drove him to crusade again and again, King Qin, and point his troops at one 'enemy' after another that might threaten him.

If there is an enemy, it must be pacified, and if there is no enemy, the enemy must be pacified.

He fought for war's sake. In order to seek more territory, more food, more armaments and more soldiers, so as to start a bigger war.

Desperate for military force.

"Ah Ruo, I must establish a new order, this order must be used to maintain the emperor's rule, but it must also ensure our living space." Ma Yue took a deep breath, and the air through the mask was a little warm, "In the past, I wanted Liangzhou to be rich, but when I owned the whole Liangzhou, I realized that it was difficult for Liangzhou to become rich, and if Liangzhou wanted to restore the grandeur of the Han Dynasty, it was necessary to go through the Western Regions, starting from Chang'an, to Dayue's and Guishuang's more distant places." But wealth is not enough for us to defend ourselves, so we need more powerful troops. Regardless of wealth, military affairs, and culture, they must develop together from now on, and only in this way will there be a strong Liangzhou in ten or twenty years. ”

Yang Feng said softly, and the surroundings fell silent again, and Ma Yue stared at the battlefield as if he hadn't spoken. The battle at the head of Luhun City continued, the camp had been pacified by the armored infantry led by Wang Shuang, the Black Mountain Army fled in embarrassment in the rout, the battle axe of the armored army cut a bloody path in the camp, and the fire brazier that kicked down ignited the successive military tents, and the camp burst into flames.

Then, the drawbridge at the city gate was lowered with a bang, which meant that Gan Ning occupied the city with one arrow.

Ma Yue stood up and led the horses, the armored sergeant in the forest led the horses down the hillside, and Wang Shuang commanded all the armored soldiers to pull all the enemy's grain, grass and ordnance, armor, cattle and sheep out of the camp, and then burned the entire camp and took the lead in advancing into the city.

When Ma Yue sat in the county office, the armored sergeant had already swept away the remnants of the Montenegrin army in the entire city, so he didn't stay long at all, and randomly appointed a substitute county commander to drive his troops north to Luhun Pass.

More than 2,000 armored sergeants were pioneers, changed into the tattered clothes and torn armor of the Montenegrin army, and went to open the city under the banner of the rout.

The remaining three sergeants pursued the fleeing Montenegrin army and cleared the passage along the way in three ways, and received the ordnance, grain and grass sent from Tongguan in the rear.

When the faint light of the early morning should shine on the head of the city of Luhun Pass, this pass located in the southwest of Luoyang has been hung with a large banner of horse characters, and the news that the defeated army will bring the people of Liangzhou to Luoyang will spread throughout the entire Montenegrin Army, and it will also let the dignitaries and nobles of Luoyang know that Ma Yue, the captain of the school, should come in response to the edict.

Now he doesn't have to worry about anything anymore, he just needs to get a good night's sleep and wait for the Montenegrin army to move.

Zhang Yan would not ignore his arrival, but if the army wanted to approach this place and could not do it in a day, Ma Yue would lead his troops in a detour on this night, continuing to travel east along the foot of Songshan Mountain south of Luoyang, bypassing Luoyang and heading straight for Yanshi City.

Day and night, sneak attack and ambush are all used to the extreme, and absolutely not confronting Zhang Yan head-on, this is Ma Yue's tactic this time.

On the one hand, Montenegrins are outnumbered.

On the other hand, Ma Yue also has his own selfishness, and he will not consume his soldiers and horses in the confrontation with the Montenegrin army.

He is an auxiliary general Ma Yue, and his soldiers and horses are to be used to deter the princes of the world. Although there were many princes who came this time, Ma Yue also had his friends, and he knew that his brother would definitely come to help him enter Luoyang.

Don't talk about others, the two Ma clans help each other, which is enough to deter the princes of the world!
