Before noon, the soldiers of the herding wolf in front of the mountain hurriedly reported that the army of Xirong was not more than thirty miles away from the grass mountain, and after beling and ordering all the soldiers to retreat to the stone road, they were ready to meet the battle.

Li Luo stood beside Chi Li, looking at the dust raised in the distance, unsurprised or happy. The army of Xijon was menacing, and a long dragon was rolled, and there were more than 5,000 people at a glance.

Li Luo looked at the approaching Xirong cavalry, and said casually: "It is said that the Dagan army is not good at fighting in winter, this time I want to let the Xirong cavalry see my Shepherd Sky Wolf army, even in the harsh winter, it is not inferior to others." ”

The generals shouted, Chi Li secretly praised, the Xirong cavalry fanfare, recently searched for Li Luo in Dizhou, and acted arrogantly, knowing that the Xirong army still despised the Dagan army.

Although there is a battle in Xingfeng Valley, I am afraid that there is not much convincing in my heart, coupled with the wintering march, the Xirong soldiers are even more contemptuous, and Li Luo's desire to fight Dingxi Mansion is not a matter of will.

Chi Li ordered the generals to block the main road into the mountain, and the dangerous places were guarded by the shepherd wolf soldiers, and the grain and grass in the mountains were sufficient, enough to hold on for more than half a month. Outside there are Ding beheading reinforcements are coming, although the Xirong army is fierce, but the shepherd wolf soldiers are not frightened, the battalion sergeants are talking and laughing, and they do not take this stormy scene in their eyes at all.

Chi Li made proper arrangements, walked to Li Luo's side and said: "General, the road into the mountain has been set up with a garrison, and the Xirong army will not think about Lei Chi one step." ”

Li Luo nodded and said, "Okay, if Xirong is allowed to attack Luocao Mountain, this battle will be suspended." ”

Chi Li seemed to want to speak and stopped, looked at Li Luo, Li Luo smiled slightly: "General Chi, is there anything else?" ”

Chi Li saluted and said in a low voice: "General, the woman who came with you yesterday has been standing on the side of the mountain this morning looking in the direction of Xirong, and the last general persuaded her to go back to the house to rest. She just smiled and didn't say anything, and she would still be standing there. ”

Li Luo paused for a moment and said slowly: "Let her go, what's wrong with Miss Chu?" ”

Fang Cai asked outside the house, and Miss Chu said that she was fine. After half a day of pranayama, you can go into battle. ”

"Oh, that's good, Miss Chu is seriously injured, let her rest more." Li Luo paused and asked, "How did you agree with General Ding?" ”

"Before the last general left, it was agreed in the army that General Ding would start his troops on the third day of the evening and set up camp a hundred miles away from Luocao Mountain, and wait for the last general to take over to the general. General Ding then rushed to the vicinity of Luocao Mountain and echoed with the last general. The last general was about to send a message to General Ding, asking him to come quickly. ”

"Don't worry, I'll leave a letter, and you will pass it to General Ding later. In addition to the birds, can there be a horse outside the mountain? ”

"Yes, there are a few dark posts on the side of the mountain, and you can see the lights on the mountain."

"Good. After nightfall, the herald ordered Ma Fei to report to General Ding. Don't be mistaken. ”

Chi Li received the order, but after a cup of tea, the Xirong army had already come to the front of the mountain.

The terrain of Luocao Mountain is steep, although it is not easy to attack, but if you want to surround it, it also saves a lot of trouble, and only stationed soldiers on a road into the mountain. The people on the mountain are hard to fly.

The Xirong army seems to have heard of the Luocao Mountain, and after surrounding the road into the mountain, they did not attack it, and settled down, and did not see any abnormal movement.

Li Luo looked at the Xirong military formation. Xiang Chi Li said: "Just let the soldiers pay more attention, Xi Rong is expected to not enter the army today." Seeing Chi Li answering the order, Li Luo thought for a while and asked, "Do you know who led the army this time?" ”

Chi Li replied with a salute and said: "General, there is a secret report from Yingchou Gorge, and after the identity of the general came out, Xirong Chaozhong was extremely shocked. Xirong Jun Luo was annoyed and angry, and ordered the right commander Qiancheng to lead an army of 50,000 to blockade Dizhou, so as to intercept the general, to see people in life and corpses in death. ”

Li Luo sighed lightly, noncommittal: "Who else is there besides Qiancheng?" ”

"General Hui, there is also the Blood Sand Army in front of the Xirong Court, and the Blood Sand belongs to the guards of the Xirong Dynasty. Known as the most elite troops in Xirong, the leader is the son of Xirong's right handsome, who has entered Dizhou first, and they are the ones who have been hunted down in Dizhou in recent days. ”

"Oh, it turns out that they are still acquaintances." Li Luo said with a smile.

"Has the general seen the Beacon Fire?" Chi Li nodded when he saw Li Luo, and continued: "Although the Blood Sand Army claims to be the elite of Xirong, the last general thinks that the toughness is insufficient, and it is much worse than the Guards Battalion of Qiang Xingzhi. ”

Li Luo said calmly: "Xirong Qiang is doing it, and it has always been rumored in the army that only my father may be able to win. In the two battles of Xingfeng Valley and Qianxi, they both missed this Zuo Shuai, and they couldn't see his true face, so why should I meet him this time. ”

Although Li Luo's words were plain, he had a compelling pride, Chi Li shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't let the general down." ”

Li Luo said loudly: "If you come, you will be safe, General Chi, you supervise the battle before the battle, I will take a letter of resignation, and immediately report to General Ding." ”

"The last will obey."

Li Luo returned to the stone house, Shaoqing, wrote the letter, Chi Li took it, and hurriedly ordered someone to pass it out.

Dagan has several secret post stations in Dizhou, and before sending troops, Liu Ce informed the generals of the secret points. As soon as he entered Dizhou, he sent his henchmen to contact the post stations everywhere, and if there were orders in the army, they could be passed on to the marching troops in time.

However, when the letter arrives at the post station, it still needs to be passed out quickly, calculate the distance, the nearest post station will take a few days to send to the Hu cavalry camp, and now the whole territory of Dizhou is under the iron hooves of Xirong, and all the horses need to be careful.

In this way, Li Luo had the words to let the Tanma hidden around Luocao Mountain report again after nightfall, fortunately, the army had its own secret words, and if it was unfortunately intercepted by Xirong, he would not be able to understand the secret in the letter for a while.

On this day, the Xirong army really did not attack, but only trapped Li Luo's people to prevent Li Luo from breaking through.

For three days, the Xijon army did not attack the mountain in a big way.

It's just that on the second day, the Xirong army sent hundreds of good hands, after nightfall, raided the grass mountain, was discovered by the shepherd wolf soldiers, a rain of arrows, leaving nearly a hundred corpses, panicked retreat, the shepherd wolf soldiers were killed and wounded less than ten people, and the morale of the army was great.

On the fourth day, Tanma reported that the letter had been sent to the Hu cavalry camp, and Ding led his troops to hide in a valley southwest of Luocao Mountain, which was only more than 150 miles away from Luocao Mountain. Chi Lida decided and ordered the soldiers to tighten the garrison in the mountains.

Chu Ying'er's injuries gradually healed, and she was by Li Luo's side, and the nameless woman recovered the fastest, and she was able to walk around the next day. When the Shepherd Wolf soldiers first saw him, they were all quite curious, pointed and looked at it, and were reprimanded by Chi Lihao, but Changning became more and more haggard, and his heart was heavy, which made people pity.

In the early morning of the fifth day, the sky was about to dawn, and it was snowing lightly in Xifu, Li Luo asked the soldiers to take turns to rest, not to get frostbitten, and Chi Li also kept watch for two nights, the soldiers persuaded hard, Li Luo just smiled, and finally simply passed the general's order, and the soldiers had to give up.
