In the midst of the tent, Hutu, the high priest of Moro, rubbed his hands together. The lord of the country, Vupol Khan, has clearly pointed out that he wants the West Vietnamese soldiers and horses to enter, which is equivalent to a holy decree. But if he takes the initiative to speak, he will have to pay a lot of price on the issue of sending troops.

After a while, the food and drinks began to be served. There are no decent delicacies in the army, they are all big fish and meat. Lu Mu walked into the big tent with several major generals, and introduced him to the high priest Hu Tu with a smile on his face.

In this case, Hutu still had the heart to drink, but Hutu was quite calm. Lu Mu and Hu Tu talked about the world, and it was inevitable to talk about Duan Lang. For the battle of the city of Melan a year ago, Hutu listened very carefully.

After listening to this, Hu Tu looked at Lu Mu and asked, "Lu Dudu, if the battle of Melan City is repeated, do you think you can win?" ”

Lu Mu shook his head, "It's hard to say." ”

"Oh?" Hu Tu was stunned, "Lu Dudu and Na Mokun are both world-famous wise men, and it's hard to say if the battle situation is repeated, could it be that Tai Mingyue and Duan Lang are really so clever in their means?" ”

Lu Mu sighed, "There are too many unexpected things about that big battle. It can be said that the arrival of Fan Jiachang's army was the key to the real defeat. Without Fan Jiachang, Huo Hai, the general of Xiyue, would not fall into Duan Lang's trap. Looking at the entire battle situation, Lu speculated that there must have been some special means of contact with scouts in that section of the Langsuo Division. At that time, when Lu led a large army to besiege Xiangjun, if Duan Lang hadn't arrived in time, the balance of victory would have tilted in our favor. When summarizing afterwards, there were some things that Lu really couldn't guess. Perhaps, this is providence. ”

Man Zhan also sighed, although the Battle of Great Xia ended with their defeat, but the defeat was really unwilling. Especially at the time of the decisive battle of Molan City, Nanping and Xiyue occupied an absolute superiority in soldiers and horses, and were actually pinned down by the other side everywhere, resulting in the final defeat.

After hearing this, Hutu, the high priest of Moro, couldn't help but be a little worried, Duan Lang's rise in these years has surpassed the prestige of any famous general. In particular, Duan Lang's tactical characteristics are to win more with less, and his actions are even more elusive. Hutu is well aware of the weakness of Moro's soldiers and horses, that is, they are good at tough battles, not good at strategy. But on top of the tough battle, the battle of Yudu also hit Hutu's confidence. In this way, it was a very correct choice for the lord of the country to invite Lu Mu to lead his troops into the customs. After all, Lu Mu was familiar with Duan Lang's tactical characteristics, and with the addition of Xiyue, even if Moro and Dali Kingdom completely turned their faces, they would have confidence.

Hu Tu picked up his wine glass, and a smile squeezed out of his vicissitudes of old face, "Lu Dudu, although this Lang soldier and horse were defeated in Temira City, the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen. He was so old that he felt that if he could quickly eliminate Duan Lang's department, it would be enough to change the pattern of the world. At that time, there will be great chaos within the Great Calendar Kingdom, and even if there are die-hard soldiers coming from afar, there is no need to worry. But the old man is worried that Duan Lang will repeat his old tricks and wreak havoc on my Moro cities in a wandering way. On the other hand, once the follow-up reinforcements of the Great Calendar Kingdom arrive, I am afraid that this battle will change again. What's more, I, Moro and Xiyue, are dependent on each other, and the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, Lu Dudu and Emperor Zhongde should understand. Duan Lang's ambition is probably not as simple as wanting to suppress my Mo Luo. ”

Lu Mu raised his eyebrows, "Sacrifice to my lord, Lu Mou thinks so too." However, His Majesty Vupor Khan did not agree to the entry of our army, which made Lu unable to help even if he wanted to. ”

"This~?" Hu Tu pretended to be embarrassed, and said with a sigh, "In order to clear Duan Lang's house as soon as possible, the old man can make the decision for His Majesty." Even if His Majesty asks questions in the future, all the responsibility will be borne by the old decay. ”

Lu Mu shook his head, "How can this be done, if the lord of the Vorpol Khanate is really held responsible, Lu will really have no shame to see the sacrificial lord again." What's more, the two armies join forces, and the focus is on sincerity. If they are not honest with each other, they will definitely be used by Duan Lang. Therefore, it is better to consider this entry matter carefully. ”

Hu Tu was anxious in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Governor Lu can rest assured, as long as your army enters the territory of my Moro, His Majesty the Lord of the Kingdom will treat it as his own, and the officers and men of the two armies will be treated equally." As for the matter of accountability, Lu Dudu does not have to worry, although the old man does not ask about government affairs in Moro, he can still do some things. ”

"Oh. So, our army can enter the customs and fight together? ”

"Of course, there is no problem, the exchange between people is based on sincerity, and the friendship between the two countries is based on trustworthiness. Lu Dudu did not hesitate to take the risk of swords and soldiers to help me Moro exterminate Duan Lang, and of course I Moro would sincerely thank you with a courtesy. Once Duan Lang is destroyed, then Beiming will also be weak. When the time comes, the five kingdoms of the world will be honored by Moro. Hutu laughed.

Lu Mu hugged his fists, "Since the sacrifice lord invited him sincerely, Lu is grateful." To be honest, being able to kill Duan Lang is also Lu's long-cherished wish in his life. Since the sacrificial lord agreed, then Lu would be respectful and obey his fate. ”

"Lu Dudu doesn't have to be polite, since the matter of entering the customs has been decided, then in terms of the grain and grass of your army, I Moro will not be able to help but help. Let me see it this way, I will bear half of the supply of grain and grass for your army, and as for the bereavement of the soldiers, it will be carried out according to the military laws of your country. As for the rest, Lu Dudu, you can see what else there is. Hu Tu raised his eyes to look at Lu Mu, showing a sincere look.

Several generals under Lu Mu's tent couldn't help but show anger on their faces when they heard this. Lu Muxin said that the vision of this old fox is still too low, and they are fighting with their lives, and they actually calculate the problem of food and grass. But time is the fighter, and Lu Mu is also worried that if he stays for too long, Long Mu, who Duan Lang can fight, will not be able to find the north. If we really continue to argue about this matter, we may have to delay it for a few more days. Lu Mu was thinking very long-term, and he wouldn't take care of this little interest.

Lu Mu glanced at Man Zhan and the others, signaling that they didn't have to speak. Lu Mu looked at Hu Tu and said solemnly.

"Sacrificial lords, my Xiyue Erlang went out to kill the enemy, not for food, grass and pensions. Although our West Vietnam was defeated a year ago, the West Vietnamese soldiers and horses were not without food. For these small things, I don't want to argue with the priests, arguing back and forth, but I seem to be a little narrow-minded. Since the sacrificial lord has said the conditions, Lu, as a junior, of course has to give the sacrificial lord this face. However, I also have one condition, if your country does not agree, the matter can only be abandoned. ”

Hu Tu was a little embarrassed by what Lu Mu said, and when he heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What conditions, Lu Dudu said." ”

"Our condition is that all war reports of your country must be delivered in a timely manner and must not be concealed. This is related to the direction of the battle situation and tactical arrangements, and it must be timely and detailed. Moreover, all the battle plans of our army are arranged by the governor of Pontus, and your country must not interfere. If you can agree to this request, everything else is trivial. ”

Hu Tu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, no problem, the old man will act as my lord and agree to Lu Dudu's request." After all, Lu Dudu's reputation is shocking to the world, and he is worthy of the trust of the old man in terms of marching and fighting. ”

Lu Mu hugged his fists, "Then thank you for the sacrifice, but after our army enters the customs, we will all change into your country's battle armor." And this trip must be kept strictly confidential, even if it is an important minister of your country, it is best not to know the details. As for the number of our army's march, it is named after the Second Battle Regiment of Moro. Now that Lang is in the light and I am in the dark, such a war can be taken by surprise. Once Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue learned that Lu was in the war, they would inevitably make strategic adjustments. After all, everyone is very familiar with each other's ways of using troops, and only by hiding it can I know the other, but the other does not know me. Presumably, the sacrifice lord and His Majesty Vupor Khan will understand Lu's intentions. ”

When he heard that he was going to change into the Moro armor, Hutu knew that they had to come out with the equipment. Although he was a little reluctant in his heart, what Lu Mu said was indeed reasonable. The art of war is also treacherous, as long as Duan Lang can be solved as soon as possible, it doesn't matter if he takes out an extra 60,000 sets of armor.

The two finally decided to send troops, and the sooner the better, for Lu Mu. He was also worried that Duan Lang would have a follow-up arrival, and only by solving Duan Lang as soon as possible could Lu Mu get rid of this long-suppressed heart disease. As for the Moro armor, there was a lot of stock in the camp opposite. It's a big deal to mobilize a few more from the periphery, which is a breeze for Hutu.

The next night, when the border was closed and no one was around, Lu Mu led the West Vietnamese army to quickly enter the territory of Moro. All the soldiers wore Moro armor, full battle generals, and wore a mask under their helmets. Even Lu Mu, who was sitting in the chariot, covered his face with a green scarf, making it impossible to identify his true face. After all, he had been fighting with Man Zhan in Great Xia for many years, and if he really met Duan Lang's scout, he would recognize it at a glance. In order not to let Duan Lang find out the details of this army of soldiers and horses, Lu Mu hid all traces on the surface.

Just three days after Lu Mu entered the customs, Duan Lang's army finally came to Mamaia City unhurriedly. Due to the population, the capital of the Moro Kingdom was not large. Looking at the low city walls and the people in the city who were glaring angrily, Duan Lang simply ordered to bypass the city and set up camp on the slope of the hill less than five miles from Mamaiya City.

Tangtai Mingyue also agreed with Duan Lang's opinion, after all, if the army entered the city, in the face of the unarmed people, Duan Lang couldn't bear to order strong pressure. Once the Longmu army besieged the city behind him, the people in the city should join forces with the outside, which was very unfavorable to the army. What's more, there is only one gate in the city of Mamaia, which is not conducive to evacuation. The slopes here are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and even in the face of the enemy's superior forces, you can retreat to the mountains to fight.

The soldiers quickly set up camp, and Duan Lang, Mingyue Zhou Long and others patrolled the defenses. Duan Lang asked as he walked, "Our baggage chariot, what's the situation over there?" ”

Zhou Long said, "Chen Qi has already taken them and hid in a canyon fifteen miles away, waiting for orders at any time. ”

Duan Lang nodded slightly, Chen Qi used to be a confidant of the veteran Sun Gang, and Chen Qi also passed on the news of the battle of Molan City. Later, Sun Gang recommended Chen Qi to Zhou Long, and after a year of hard training in the desert, Chen Qi has now become one of Zhou Long's thousands.

After inspecting the defenses, Duan Lang looked at Mingyue and asked, "How about it, do you think that Long Mu will take the initiative to attack." ”

Mingyue looked at the busy soldiers and said softly, "We have attacked three or four times along the way, and Long Mu's anger should be almost excited." However, I would suggest that if you really start a fierce battle from here, you still don't have to fight the enemy. ”

"Of course, I mean lead them into the mountains. Fighting in the mountains and forests, they are no opponent. ”

"No, after this period of observation, I don't think Long Mu will be fooled. The most likely outcome is that they will lay out at the bottom of the mountain and trap us in the mountains. So I suggest that after the war, you don't have to go into the mountains, kill from the side, and lead the other side to pursue. Fifteen miles away in the canyon, let the chariot battalion set a trap and kill them. Yutai Mingyue said.

"Will they be fooled? Long Mu never pursued along the way. Duan Lang said.

Tantai Mingyue looked at the mountains and said strangely, "I'm also a little confused, I don't know what this dragon mu wants to do." Supposedly, if we invade, they should pursue it frantically. Could it be that Long Mu really has to wait for the end of Mengdu's side before concentrating superior forces to surround us? ”

Duan Lang thought for a moment and said calmly, "Da Fei will be able to return from Mengdu tomorrow, and the scouts will definitely report the situation over there in detail when the time comes." If Mengdu really wants to be rash, we won't be able to control so much. ”

"Well, let's deal with the situation in front of us first. Long Mu has repeatedly sought stability, so he will add more fire to him. Let Zhou Wu take the soldiers and horses and enter the city of Mamaia and sweep away. War cannot be merciful, and even if we do not commit any crimes, the people of Moro will still hate us. Since the soldiers and horses are encamped here, Long Mu will inevitably fight with our army. If Long Mu orders a pursuit, then kill him in the canyon. Once Long Mu does not order the pursuit, there must be a reason for this, it seems that we have forgotten something, and we must find out the true purpose of Long Mu. Tantai Mingyue said cautiously.

Duan Lang thought for a while, "It can't be that Long Mu is really scared, right?" This is not like the rumored Moro style. ”

"Lang, after the arrival of the Longmu army tomorrow, once there is no pursuit, I feel that Da Fei must be allowed to return to the country. We don't know what happened in the world during this time, and I am very uneasy without a source. Knowing himself and knowing that he will not be defeated in a hundred battles, perhaps it is something big that has happened in the world that has caused Long Mu to delay without fighting. Yutai Mingyue frowned slightly and looked at Duan Lang.

"Well, as soon as Da Fei comes back, let it return to the middle capital. If there is anything going on in the country, you really should know about it. ”

After the two discussed, Tantai Mingyue immediately gave Zhou Wu an order and asked him to lead his men and horses into Mamaiya City. Even if you don't target civilians, you have to make a noise. In addition, Duan Lang also asked Zhou Long to send someone to inform Chen Qi that the camouflage crossbow array would be arranged before the end of tomorrow.

Behind Duan Lang's army, Long Mu still ordered to move forward unhurriedly. Although it has suffered a sudden attack from Duan Lang's department in the past few days, the overall loss is still within the bearability. Long Mu and Wu Batu were both holding back their anger, for so many years, the soldiers of the Moro Kingdom had never suffered such a wretchedness. However, the news from the lord of the country made Long Mu and Wu Batu feel a lot more comfortable.

Vupor Khan, the lord of Moro, is very shrewd, and since Lu Mu is involved, he will completely pull Xiyue into this troubled water. Wupol Khan issued a secret decree that Long Mu should try not to start a major battle before Lu Mu arrived. As the king of a country, Duan Lang's soldiers and horses must be elite, and Wupol Khan does not want to let his own soldiers lose too much. When the time comes, with Lu Mu's absolute superiority in troops, Wupol Khan does not believe that Duan Lang can still escape from Moro. As for the Northern Ming soldiers and horses on the other side, Wupol Khan didn't pay attention to it at all. As long as Duan Lang dies, let alone Mengdu, the Moro soldiers and horses will immediately wave their troops to the Northern Ming Dynasty and completely repay the blood debt of 100,000 soldiers.

Lu Mu, who was marching quickly, also placed Moro scouts in the army for contact. Whether it was the escape route of the Mengdu army or Duan Lang's advance, it was all under Lu Mu's control. Lu Mu hoped that the Moro soldiers and horses would continue to fight with Duan Lang, as long as they could cause a large number of casualties to Duan Lang, it would slow down the speed of Duan Lang's march. Once Duan Lang adapts to the Moro Kingdom's style of play, when the time comes to face him Lu Mu again, it will definitely become a final battle.

The closer he got to Duan Lang's department, the more excited Lu Mu's mood became. Over the past year, the shadow of defeat has haunted him like a dream demon day and night. Even in terms of his own art of war and tactics, Lu Mu had doubts. He knew that only by completely defeating Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue could he regain his former self-confidence.

In the city of Mamaia, the people who wept and cried out to the earth, finally ushered in their own army. Looking at the firelight in the city and the grieving civilians outside the city, Wu Batu trembled with anger.

"Lord Tusi, since Duan Lang's bastard is camped not far away, if I don't fight hard today, I Wu Batu won't have the face to enter this Mamaiya City." Vobatu shouted angrily.

Long Mu was also like pig iron, but it was getting late at this time, and if a night battle was launched, it would be extremely unfavorable to their attacking side.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't be impatient. The hour is not in our favor, and since Duan Lang's troops are encamped, it is not too late to start the encirclement and suppression tomorrow morning. When people came, the army entered the city and immediately set up defenses. ”

Long Mu suppressed his anger, and without impulse, he immediately led his troops to attack the mountain. Don't look at the small-scale harassment and invasion in the past few days, it also made Long Mu see the well-trained side of Duan Lang's soldiers and horses. In particular, the fast fight and flash mob of Zhou Long's department made the Moro soldiers who were good at fighting hard helpless. As soon as the counterattack was organized here, the other side ran away, leaving them with no strength to exert their strength.

The people of Mamaia City cried about the evil deeds of the invaders, the city lord had already fled the city, and although Zhou Wu did not target the civilians, he also ruthlessly burned a large number of houses. Even so, many of the rebels were killed by the soldiers. The invading 'bad deeds' aroused the anger of the people, and Long Mu knew that if there was no big fight, I was afraid that the people in the country would not agree.

These days, the entire Moro country is looking forward to a victory, but after a long time of no news, the accusations of the Moro people began to turn to Long Mu. Even many ministers began to play, denouncing Long Mu's weakness and incompetence. It was also inconvenient for Wupol Khan to reveal the inside story to his ministers, so he could only wait patiently for Lu Mu's army.

After nightfall, both sides sent out scouts to watch each other's movements cautiously. With the protection of the city wall, Long Mu didn't have to worry about the other party's sneak attack. Although the city walls are low, they can at least block the gallop of war horses. Long Mu and several generals began to study tomorrow's war. When the tactical arrangement was completed, Long Mu was tired and ready to rest.

In the early hours of the morning, Long Mu, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by a rapid gong sound. Long Mu quickly got up and stretched out his hand to draw his sword.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

Long Mu did not enter the palace, but slept in the camp not far from the city gate. As soon as he came out to inquire, he heard shouts of killing coming from the city wall. Long Mu was shocked in his heart, and said in his heart, could it be that Duan Lang led his troops to take the initiative to attack the city?

"Qiqi Marshal, someone touched the city wall at night, and the soldiers and horses defending the city are encircling and suppressing." A sergeant ran over to report.

At this moment, the entire camp was busy. As soon as Long Mu was about to give the order to send troops to support, he heard a loud shout from the city wall not far on the right.

"Long Mu Wu Batu listen, tonight Ben Shuai personally came to give you a war letter. Early tomorrow morning, Lao Tzu will be waiting in the camp, and if he is a man, he will show some skills to fight with me. Remember, don't be a shrunken turtle and say goodbye~. Immediately after, there was a burst of arrogant laughter.

Wu Batu couldn't hear Duan Lang's shouts in the palace, but Long Mu heard it clearly in the camp. Just when Long Mu was trembling with anger, a general ran over.

"The last general asks for an order, go out of the city to hunt down this thief!"

Although Long Mu was resentful in his heart, he calmly asked, "Are they gone?" ”

"Have jumped off the wall and fled."

"How many people came?"

The general looked at Long Mu and said hatefully, "Qiyu Marshal, there is only ~ only Duan Lang and the eighteen beheadings of Lidu City." ”

When Long Mu heard this, the eighteen slashes in the capital city were very easy to identify, and there was no one else in the other party's camp except for these eighteen people using long knives. But Long Mu couldn't help but be shocked by Duan Lang's boldness.

"What about the casualties?"

"Marshal Qiyu, the guards on duty ~ more than forty casualties."

Long Mu trembled when he heard this, and a mouthful of old blood did not spurt out. As the king of a country, he arrogantly led people to kill under his nose. No matter how good Long Mu's cultivation was, he was completely angered by Duan Lang's arrogance.

"Duan Lang Xiao'er, don't run after dawn, I Long Mu won't cut off your head, and I will not step into the national capital in this life!"

Long Mu roared angrily to the sky, and he couldn't wait to order to kill him now and kill all the soldiers and horses of the Great Calendar Country.
