Yuan Jun shouted and received the order, and retired from the general transmission of Li Luo's military order. Li Luo also ordered Liu Ce to order Ding Shu, Chi Li, and Hucha Dongcian to withdraw their troops together with General Zhongwu Shi Wei and return to the Shepherd Wolf camp.

Now that the Dagan army is far superior to Xirong, Li Luo has no constraints in dispatching troops, divides his troops into several ways, and drives Qiang Xingzhi to the northeast of Dizhou.

In addition to the infantry battalion and the middle base battalion in the Shepherd Wolf Army, the rest of the army pressed towards the camel city under the leadership of Liu Ce the next day, and closed the Dagan front.

Li Luo ordered the formation to be arranged, and Di Jie saw it in his eyes one by one, thoughtful, with few omissions, and there were many merits in his calculations, so he secretly put his mind at ease.

May 10.

The remnants of the left army of Xirong and Helian Chengxian and Hu Chajing's army met in Qiliangcheng south of Moxia City, fought for several hours, Yuan Jun led 20,000 troops of the Western Expedition to cover and kill from the southeast side, Qiang Xing was outnumbered, abandoned Qiliangcheng, and the army retreated to the desert.

May 12.

Mu Zhao bypassed the Xinye where he was stationed, and raided the defenders of Dagan in the south of the country, Zhou Linhan got Li Luo's secret order, and he was invincible, Mu Zhao hurriedly marched to Moxia City, and was ambushed by Li Luo and Ding Chi Li's generals halfway, Zhou Linhan attacked from behind, and broke the Xirong cavalry.

Mu Zhao fled back to Linxia City in a panic, and set up an ambush fifty miles outside the city, Xirong suffered heavy casualties, 30,000 troops went to war, and less than 10,000 people fled back to Linxia City. Huimeng attacked Linxia, if it wasn't for the danger and didn't block it too much, Linxia City was almost captured by Huimeng.

May 15.

Qiang Xing's plan, sent troops to the north of Moshan Yunwu Yan Department, and wanted to unite with the Qiang Qing bamboo soldiers, Helian Chengxian and Hu Chajing did not check, and the plan was ambushed, and the damage was quite serious. Fortunately, Yuan Jun and Chen's side hurriedly sent troops, Qiang Xingzhi's army was insufficient, and he was attacked by the three armies of Dagan, and in desperation, he could only retreat to Moxia City. Missed opportunities.

On the same day, Qiang Qingzhu's troops attacked Yun Wuyan's department, and the march was set up in a virtual and real way, but it was a pity that Yun Wuyan was encountered, and Qiang Qingzhu was worried about the safety of Qiang Xing, and sent troops too quickly. There are some similarities with Li Luo's march.

The two armies fought for nearly an hour, Yun Wuyan personally led the army to set up an ambush in Moshan, which was almost the same as Qiang's plan, and the whole army counterattacked, severely damaged Qiang Qingzhu and led his troops, killed the general Ran Sheng, and forced Qiang Qingzhu back to the Dizhou camp.

Xirong's left army lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, if it weren't for Qiang Qingzhu's early retreat. Almost all of them were wiped out. Less than 5,000 cavalry in the left army crossed the Moshan and returned to the aid of Moxiacheng. The next day, after the Japanese army explored the horse and heard the news. Angry and angry, blood spurted on the spot. 5,000 soldiers were besieged and killed by the three generals of Dagan outside the desert city, and Qiang Xingzhi sent troops to relieve the siege, and less than half of the soldiers were able to enter the city.

May 17.

The remnants of the right army were exhausted, and Zhou Linhan fought fiercely outside Guannan Town, and there was a great tendency to die and the net was broken. It's just that the offensive is not long. The news came from Yingchou Gorge that Qiancheng was seriously injured and died, and the right army was in turmoil, and it was difficult for Qianfeng to convince the public. The right army had no intention of fighting and retreated to the Eagle Gorge. Since then, the left army of Xirong has been surrounded by the army of Dagan and trapped in several cities in Dizhou.

On May 20, in the territory of Dizhou, the winter snow melted away, the dead trees were spring, and the grass sprouted, and it was full of vitality.

Li Luo led his troops to join up with Helian Chengxian, Hu Chajing and Yuan Jun to besiege Moxia City. Liu Ce led the three battalions of Shengtun Cavalry and Huben to defend the camel city, Ding Chop to guard the flag Liang, Zhou Linhan Chen soldiers ran through the south, the time was dangerous to garrison Xinye, Yun Wuyan stood in the desert mountain, cut off the father and son of Qiang Xing, and hundreds of thousands of large legions surrounded Moxia City.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

Helian Chengxian and Hu Chajing stood in the tent, Yuan Jun stood aside, the three generals bowed their heads and pleaded guilty, and the generals in the tent sat neatly, and no one made a sound.

Di Jie was in the center, Li Luo sat on the left, and the three generals looked towards Li Luo, bowing their heads and saying nothing, and the tent was quite dull. Li Luo led the army for a short time, but he was in a high position, and there was a precedent for Huai Wang, and all the generals were a little apprehensive in their hearts, and they didn't know how Li Luo would punish his generals.

Seeing that Li Luo was silent, Di Jie coughed dryly and said, "Xuanlou, how to punish him, you are in charge, and Ben Shuai will never show favoritism." ”

Li Luo bowed slightly and said, "Di Shuai is serious. After speaking, he turned his head, looked at the three people in the tent, and said slowly: "General Yuan, you sent troops in time, you have no merit, and retreat first." ”

Yuan Jun was stunned for a moment, and replied abruptly: "General, Yuan Jun didn't dare to take the credit, before sending out the troops, the general and Di Shuai repeatedly told the last general that the march must be step by step, and it is safe." General Helian and General Hucha were leading the troops, but they did not know that the last general was not effective in transmitting the message, and they should be punished together. ”

Li Luo was noncommittal, raised his head and carefully looked at the three generals under the account. When I first saw Helian Chengxian, he seemed to be not very old, and he was still lighter than Chi Li, his face was like a crown of jade, his nose was high and his lips were thin, and his air was lofty, standing in the tent, and Hu Chajing and Yuan Jun complemented each other, which was quite extraordinary.

Helian Chengxian and Hu Chajing closed their lips tightly, their faces showing guilt, but they were not afraid. After half a ring, Li Luo asked, "Why did you get ambushed?" ”

Helian Chengxian and Hu Chajing glanced at each other, Hu Chajing took a step forward, and replied in a deep voice: "General, it was the last general who was negligent, and Qiang Xingzhi led the suspicious soldiers out of the city, and the last general misjudged that the remnants of Xirong's left army wanted to flee to the north of Moshan, and hastily led the army to attack. Qiang Xingzhi pretended to be invincible, retreated to Moshan, the last general raised troops to chase, was ambushed by Xirong from both sides of the army, the Yue cavalry battalion suffered heavy casualties, if it was not for General Helian and General Yuan to come to the aid in time, the Yue cavalry battalion is afraid to be seriously injured, this battle is really the fault of the last general, please punish the general. ”

As soon as Hu Cha Jing finished speaking, Helian Chengxian took a step forward and continued: "General, Di Shuai, this battle is not the responsibility of General Hu Cha alone, the last general saw Qiang Xingzhi leading the army out of the city, and thought that he was going to abandon the city and attack Yun Shuai's rear camp. When General Hucha sent troops, the last general did not stop him, and followed closely, thinking that he was similar to General Hucha, and rushed to battle, but was calculated by Qiang, and asked the general and Di Shuai to surrender. After speaking, he bowed deeply.

The generals listened, they didn't know what to do, looked at the three people in the tent, and then looked at Li Luo, and saw that Li Luo looked thoughtful, Di Jie, who was on top of the handsome position, also closed his eyes and recuperated, as if it was none of his business, and no one interceded for Hu Chajing and Helian Chengxian for a while.

Li Luo got up, walked to Hu Chajing and Helian Chengxian, looked at the two of them intently, and asked quietly: "When Qiang Xingzhi sent out the army, why didn't you two realize that there was fraud in it?" ”

"Qiang Xingzhi led the army to break through the siege and went straight to Moshan, the cavalry soldiers under his command were prepared with dry food and water, and the troops were in a hurry, and the last general was stupid, thinking that he wanted to make peace with Qiang Qingzhu, and then tried to make peace with my Dagan Zhubu, so he led the army to intercept it, but he did not expect to be introduced into an ambush by him."

"Where did the ambush come from?"
