On the wasteland, the purple-red "Luo" character banner fluttered high, and 30,000 soldiers and horses marched neatly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mai Tiecane took the generals and above to greet him, and personally reported the battle situation by the way.

Luo Zhaoyun was protected by eighteen new Yanyun cavalry, and there were 10,000 elite cavalry formations in front, on both sides, and in the rear, like an iron wall, which could deal with any unexpected situation.

"Report -- General Mai led his generals to greet the commander and report the military situation."

"Order, slow down for two miles, rest and rectify!"

"Order." The herald carried the order flag on his back and turned around to deliver the military order.

This is a noteworthy detail when marching, if it stops immediately, the order is not timely, it is easy to stop in some places, and in some places it is not stop, the information cannot be completely synchronized, crowding, stampede, and collision incidents will occur, and the formation will collapse, once the enemy soldiers attack, it will instantly wear off the sharpness, and the morale of the army will be discouraged.

Strict military discipline and a neat formation at any time are conducive to improving the self-discipline of the officers and men of the three armed services, and they are always strict with themselves and suppress laziness.

Suddenly, Mai Tiecane took more than a dozen generals, wearing iron armor, and entered the Chinese army to report to the commander on the vanguard achievements.

After listening to Luo Zhaoyun, he spread out the map and said: "At present, the main strength of the Northern Qi army is divided into two parts, one part is in Beiping County, and the other part has entered Yan County, the former has 50,000 troops, and the latter has more than 30,000 horses. ”

"The last general!"

"Ben Shuai ordered you, bring the vanguard army, immediately besiege this city, don't rush to attack, mainly besiege the city for reinforcements, suck up 10,000 troops outside Lulong City, Ben Shuai quickly went to Yulin Pass to intercept, so that the enemy soldiers in Beiping County could not go to Yan County to converge, and also blocked the Northern Qi army and Khitan people in western and eastern Liaodong outside the pass."

As soon as Mai Tiezhu heard it, he knew that Luo Shuai had made another good move, which made the Northern Qi army exhausted, and also cut off its back road, affecting the morale of the army, so he naturally couldn't fight a fierce battle.

The only way to go, the function of the remnants of the Northern Qi Army to the north, through the border area with the Khitan through Beiping County, borrowed the Khitan chassis, and returned to the western Liaoning District, and the road was long.

"The end will ensure that the mission will be completed."

"Haha, I can trust you, General Mai, they all say that Lao Ji is in charge of a long way, and he is a good example, although he is close to the sixtieth birthday, but he is old and strong, and his spirit of courage has not faded at all.

Mai Tie Staff was praised in public, entrusted with a heavy task, red face, felt very embarrassed, some of the generals behind him, after hearing the words, they were also a little secretly excited, if they were given the opportunity, try to lead the troops to temper, in the northern counties, they will soon be promoted by virtue of their military exploits.

"Luo Shuai rest assured, the sons and daughters are very motivated, this time the generals are very brave, over time, many people will become a climate, worthy of a big responsibility."

Mai Tiezhu couldn't help but praise a few words, selling face to his subordinates, making them grateful, and laying a good foundation for future cooperation.

Luo Zhaoyun showed a look of relief, nodded and said, "That's good, under the jurisdiction of my Luo Chengzhi army, I don't rely on the shadow to be promoted, I rely on military exploits and strategies, and I am really talented and learned, as long as any of you have outstanding talents and practical combat, you will definitely be promoted, don't worry, rest assured to fight, your family and relatives, there is a Governor's Palace to allocate funds to provide treatment, the war dead, posthumously awarded martyrs, the family is exempt from taxes, and there is a pension, so you don't need to worry about the future!" ”

After hearing this, the generals' noses were slightly sour, and they were proud and honored to be able to serve in such a humane army.

They are seven-foot men, enlisted in the army, and are not afraid of death, but they are worried that after their death, their families will be poor, with old mothers and children, lack of labor, and will not be able to survive.

Mai Tie Cane led his troops to leave, returned to the vanguard team, and immediately set off for Luancheng, dozens of miles away.

This is a small city, within a radius of only a few miles, with a population of only 30,000, most of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the strong men have already gone to join the army, in the ranks of the Luo family's army.

Therefore, the people in the city closed their doors, and they would not help these Northern Qi people to defend the city.

Although decades ago, the people here once belonged to the Northern Qi people, but after the establishment of the Great Sui, the population migrated, and the culture was promoted, and they did not have much sense of belonging to the short-lived Northern Qi.

The Northern Qi Dynasty was preceded by the Eastern Wei Dynasty, which was separated from the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the Northern Wei Dynasty was a mixture of Hu and Han, and the Han culture was small, so the people did not have such a strong sense of who they were loyal to and what country they were loyal to.

As far as they are concerned, whoever has a big fist will listen to whomever they want, and whoever gives more benefits will support whomever they want.

At present, Luo Yi and his son govern the four northern counties, implementing many new policies, reducing rents and interest, dismissing forced labor, distributing relief food, working to earn money, materials are sufficient, sea salt is also refined, and the quality of life has been improved, so they are more willing to accept Luo Cheng's jurisdiction.

The desire of the people lies in the fact that you truly think about them and satisfy the vital interests of the toiling masses.

Mai Tiezhu led 20,000 soldiers and horses to surround Luancheng, sent cavalry to swim around, once found that reinforcements came from Lulong, immediately intercepted and attacked with cavalry, besieged the city to send reinforcements, and waited for work, and did not really bother to attack the city, so the casualties were too large, and it would be several times that of the defenders.

Luo Zhaoyun adjusted the route, and the army bypassed Luan County and went directly to Yulin Pass in the northeast corner, where there were 10,000 enemy troops stationed, and it was not difficult for him to take it.

Changing the order of the battle broke the thinking inertia of the Northern Qi army, and they thought that the Sui army would come to save Lu Long first, or advance little by little, attack the city one by one, and prepare to defend it, but they did not expect Luancheng to be trapped and did not attack, but the Northern Qi army outside Lulong City, which had no fixed location, felt insecure.

The general Gao Yonghu sent a deputy, with a part of the troops, to Luancheng to relieve the siege, to join the army in the city, but before thousands of people approached Luancheng, they were intercepted by the iron cavalry, cut into several pieces, and could not be defeated.

Helan Yi in Lulong City took the opportunity to attack with 6,000 soldiers and fought with 5,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Gao Yonghu outside the city, and there were casualties among each other, but Mai Tiezhu sent a thousand cavalry to wander around, leading the remaining two or three thousand men and horses, and had no intention of fighting, and fled directly to the direction of Yulin Pass.

When approaching Yulin Pass, he found that Luo Cheng was personally in charge and was commanding the army to attack Xiongguan, Gao Yonghu suddenly wilted, led his troops to the north, and planned to escape from Beiping County by the way, but he really didn't have the courage to stay here.
