The matter on Luoyang's side, with Lu Bu's return to the dynasty, can be regarded as settled, as for Chen Mo's family affairs, it is naturally impossible for outsiders to know, and there is no reason to interfere, but some new things are quietly changing unconsciously by others.

For example, there is an extra craftsman named Liu Yi under the mansion of the craftsman Zhonglang, who is still an official for the time being, and has not obtained an official status, but he occupies a craftsman alone, although it is a little surprising, but the craftsman is just a craftsman, and this matter is only a little surprised, thinking that the imperial court is studying something like a weapon.

The eyes returned to the northern Xinjiang, Youzhou, and Yuyang.

The attacks of the Xianbei people were intermittent, and no one organized a large-scale attack, but infiltrated from all directions with the tribe as a unit, which was not easy to defend, Bao Geng had not slept for several days, and his eyes were dark.

Since the establishment of the Great Wall, many places have collapsed, many of them don't know, and the troops can't be dispersed on such a large scale, Bao Geng can only ensure that a few main roads are stuck to block the large number of Xianbei tribes, and those who infiltrate into Youzhou to loot can only rely on the locality.

It has been two months since Bao Geng sent a letter to the imperial court, and seeing that the cold winter is about to pass in another month, the news from Yuyang Taishou has come to many Xianbei people who have infiltrated and have begun to run back, although they have not been able to completely block it, but it is already his limit.

"These Xianbei people, do you still want to fight?" In the camp, Bao Geng looked at the menacing Xianbei people, and sneered, in the past two months, he has roughly figured out the routine of the Xianbei people, and it is just a point that he is not good at attacking fortifications, and the most important thing is that this Hu people are not good at fighting tough battles, and it is okay to fight with the wind, but if you want to charge in a group like the Xiliang cavalry at the beginning, these Xianbei people can't fight, and they will disperse when they encounter a tough battle.

If it weren't for the fact that the mobility couldn't keep up, and he was worried that the defensive strength here would be weakened due to unnecessary damage, Bao Geng really wanted to take the men and horses to fight hard with these Xianbei people, so that they knew that the Han family could not be bullied.

"General, you said that this Xianbei man is obviously not good at fighting, why do you want to attack so desperately? So many people have died, and they are not afraid? The deputy general stood beside Bao Geng, a little puzzled by the attitude of this Xianbei person, obviously he couldn't break it, and he still wanted to fight.

"Hungry~" Bao Geng shook his head and sighed: "You have also seen this weather this year, many livestock on the grassland have frozen to death, I can't see it now, and it is the time to really starve after the beginning of spring, when a lot of people will die, and when the time comes, it will be death, and if you don't fight, it is better to fight, if you can break through the border defense of Youzhou, their food will be down next year." ”

As for why the Xianbei people are so crazy, Bao Geng probably already understands almost everything, in the final analysis, he can't survive, so he runs desperately, sometimes the war is like this, everyone has a reason, this side is to protect the family and defend the country, the other side is to survive, there is no reason to retreat, can only fight to the death.

"Hey, wait until the beginning of spring, the Gu River thaws, and see how they fight?" The adjutant general sneered: "When the time comes, we will be able to clear the Xianbei dogs in the rear who have not yet returned, and let them spit out the things they have robbed!" ”

Bao Geng nodded, he really thought so, he guarded the border passes, but let many Xianbei people leak through, which is a very shameful thing for Bao Geng, but these things have to wait for the river to thaw before doing it, the weather is so cold this year, and I don't know if the river thaw will be slower than in previous years.

"Newspaper~"

Just when everyone repelled the Xianbei people and relaxed, a scout horse rushed into the camp quickly, and rushed to Bao Geng's side all the way.

"What?" Bao Geng stopped chatting with his generals and looked at Tanma.

"General, Lu Longzhai is in an emergency, the remnants of the Yuan clan suddenly launched an attack on Lu Longzhai, please send reinforcements quickly." Tanma bowed.

"Lu Longzhai!?" Bao Geng frowned when he heard this.

"General, Lu Longzhai is the key to blocking the Karasuma people, if Lu Longzhai is lost, the Karasuma people can drive straight in, and then Liaoxi and Yuyang will fall under the hooves of the Karasuma people." The adjutant general's face changed.

"Lulongzhai is a dangerous pass, there are 800 elite soldiers guarding it, if you lose the Karasuma people, you can still block it, but the words of the remnants of the Yuan clan ......" The other general's face was not very good-looking.

The Karasuma people are not afraid of either the siege equipment or the siege ability of their own generals, but if they are replaced by the Yuan family, they are the best at this kind of city attack and defense warfare, and the danger that the Karasuma people cannot break through may not be possible if it is replaced by the Yuan family.

"You two will continue to preside over the war here, and I will lead two troops to support." Bao Geng didn't think about it for too long, Lu Longzhai must not be lost, and now, the Xianbei people's troubles have come to an end, and Bao Geng has also arranged for defense everywhere, leaving two deputy generals to preside over it, Bao Geng is ready to go to the aid of Lu Longzhai in person.

"The last general commands!" The two lieutenants immediately agreed.

Bao Geng didn't talk nonsense, and immediately ordered two people to follow him all the way to Lulongzhai, Pingping to Lulongzhai, separated by mountains and rivers in the middle, and had to take a detour to pass, this came and went, there were nearly 400 miles away, Bao Geng was a fast march, and it took seven days to arrive.

On the seventh day, Bao Geng arrived at Lulongzhai and opened the gate.

"How many defenders are there in Guanzhong today?" Bao Geng entered the city gate, handed over the horse to the soldiers, and asked the guards of Lulongzhai as he walked.

"Back to the general, there are still more than 300 soldiers in Lulongzhai." The guard said in a deep voice.

"So many dead!?" Bao Geng turned his head and looked at the guard: "How did you defend the city!?" ”

"General, the remnants of the Yuan clan came to attack this time, and also brought a lot of siege equipment, the other party is quite vicious, with the corpse of the dead soldier sprinkled with soil water, this weather, as soon as the water is frozen, it is an excellent place to stay, the siege ladder that could not reach the city wall can be probed to the city wall, the other party also used a catapult to load water and threw it to the city, many soldiers were drenched in the ice water, and they couldn't get up the next day." The guard said bitterly, this time the Yuan clan has many more means of attacking the city than the Karasuma people, and they have been able to defend it so far.

Bao Geng's face sank, and he didn't blame the other party again, but immediately led people to the city, he wanted to see what means these subordinates had to break this Lulong Village.

On the tower of Lulongzhai, a lot of fires were burned, and when Bao Geng walked up to the city, he saw many soldiers trembling around the fire.

The guard general explained: "The thieves use the water altar instead of throwing stones, this water altar is thrown farther, there is no power at the beginning, but the soldiers who are drenched in the water, the second day will inevitably feel the wind and cold, it is difficult to fight again, the Guan medicine craftsman is not enough or a trivial matter, the most important thing is that the medicinal materials are not enough, I have sent people to Yuyang to transfer medicinal materials, but this takes time, according to the thieves like this, if we only rely on me, I am afraid that there will be two more days, this city will be broken." ”

Bao Geng nodded, came to the female wall and looked down, only to see eight earthen platforms set up in the distance, on which catapults were placed, and the exposed corpses could be faintly seen on the ground, forming a gentle slope, and the ground was raised nearly a zhang out of thin air!

Bao Geng frowned and looked at the slope made of corpses and soil, and his face was a little unsightly.

The guard said with a wry smile: "This winter is quite cold, and the water can turn into ice when it lands, and the thieves used this method to make this slope with corpses and soil, and many soldiers of our army were frightened." ”

"They can use it, we can use it too, let the soldiers boil ice into water, tomorrow as long as they dare to attack the city, they will fight back in this way, teach them to taste it too!" Bao Geng snorted coldly.

"Whoa!"

On the other side, Yuan Shang's camp.

Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi sat in the big tent of the Chinese army and roasted the fire, Feng Ji and several generals [www.biquku.biz] followed aside, the former Jizhou generals died and surrendered, and now the generals around Yuan Shang are mostly newly promoted.

"Yuantu, it's been nearly half a month." Yuan Shang turned his head and looked at Feng Ji Dao: "When will this Lulong Village be broken?" ”

"Don't worry, my lord, it should be soon." Feng Ji said with a smile: "Didn't the lord find out that there are fewer and fewer soldiers guarding the city in Lulongzhai these days?" I'm afraid it's our army's water attack method that works, although the other side has not suffered many casualties, but at this moment, the city is probably full of wounded soldiers, just wait a few more days, and it will be able to break through. ”

"Alas~" Yuan Xi sighed: "Our army has also lost a lot of lives for this, third brother, why is this difficult?" ”

"Second brother!" Yuan Shang looked at Yuan Xi dissatisfied: "Could it be that you have forgotten the hatred of taking your wife and destroying your family?" ”

It is no secret that Zhen Mi was admitted to Chen Mo's room.

Yuan Xi smiled bitterly when he heard this, and didn't speak again, he has a weak temperament, which can't be said to be a bad thing, it can only be said that he is not a qualified prince or monarch, and because of this weak temperament, he is more sympathetic, the war has been tragic these days, although Lu Longzhai was beaten like this by them, but his own losses are also a lot, plus this is tantamount to hitting the Karasuma people as a striker, helping the Karasuma people to fight the Han people, which makes Yuan Xi feel very uncomfortable.

It's just that now it's Yuan Shang who is in charge, and Yuan Xi can only let it go.

As for the hatred of taking wives...... What's strange about these years, just thinking that his beautiful wife may be tactfully married to another person, this heart is really uncomfortable, and it hurts faintly.

"Lord!" A general walked in from outside, bowed to Yuan Shang and said, "Just now, the soldiers on the mountain who are responsible for monitoring the movements of Lulongzhai came to report that reinforcements have come from Lulongzhai, and there are nearly a thousand people!" ”

"What!?" Yuan Shang's face changed, he stood up, looked at the other party in amazement, and then looked at Feng Ji.

"Don't worry, the return of reinforcements was expected, but it can only come like this." Feng Ji said with a smile: "The victory of our army has been decided, and Lulongzhai will be broken!" ”

"Yuan Tu, this Lulongzhai is already dangerous, and it was difficult for eight hundred people to break through before, how can you say that now?" Yuan Shang frowned.

Feng Ji smiled: "Because of this battle, the heavens are on the lord's side!" ”
