The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.

The vast desert, empty and lofty, magnificent and majestic, when the red sun fell in the west, the end of the horizon was red, and the archers of the Han army who were gradually attacking the high ground retreated.

The western Xianbei alone deduced the high slope based on the Japanese law, blocking the Han army for more than 20 days.

The Han army attacked three times and raided more than ten times, all of which ended in failure.

"I thought that the deduction of the Japanese law was just a stubborn resistance, but now it is not easy. I underestimated the people of the world. ”

The land south of Yanran Mountain, the intersection of the remaining veins of Zhuo Evil Mountain and the remaining veins of Jinhui Mountain.

Mountains are undulating and surrounded by large rivers. A high slope, not steep, but stretching for two miles.

Liu Fan, who lived a few miles away from Gaopo, looked at the archers of the Han army who retreated again, and said solemnly.

"Long slopes and high mountains are self-contained. It's a great place. Before the heavy armor rode and stepped forward, the physical strength was already consumed. Moreover, the slope of two miles long, densely covered with ravines, clashes with cavalry, tens of thousands of enemy cavalry shots, ten thousand arrows fired together, and occupied the advantage of the high slope, homeopathic impact, Xiao Zhan sergeant can not resist. I have to think of something else. ”

Huang Zhong, who was standing beside Liu Fan, opened his mouth and said.

In today's battle, the Han army used 10,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry.

The infantry was in front, and the cavalry followed the infantry.

The infantry in front approached Xianbei and fired at the Xianbei formation with bows and arrows, but never created an opportunity for the Han cavalry.

A few days ago, Liu Fan tried to make Modao Iron Armor charge.

However, he encountered the thunder stone rolling wood thrown by Xianbei from a high place, but fortunately he ordered a retreat in time and did not cause any casualties.

Liu Fan also realized that Mo Dao could not exert its due power in this kind of battle.

If you are desperate at all costs, you will attack the elite together. Even if he wins, Liu Fan's strength will be greatly damaged.

In another month, we will enter the sixth year of Zhongping, that is, in 189 AD.

This year was a huge turning point in the fate of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Fan is about to start exerting his strength. Six years of hard work is waiting for the arrival of the general trend.

Seize this opportunity to make the Han people a strong man, let the strong man become a big man, from the big man to the strong man, until the end, become a fierce man!

Liu Fan will not be tired and injured here.

"This daily law deduction. It would be nice to be able to get around the mountains. ”

Xu Chu said hatefully.

"The mountains are dangerous and cannot be crossed. If you want to go around from the north to the western Xianbei side, you must cross the Anxi Water and the North Sea, which is thousands of miles away. And it is very likely to meet nomads such as Jiankun and Ding Ling on the way, which is an impossible journey. The Zhuo Evil Mountain in the south gave our army a headache, and the infantry was sent over the mountain surprisingly, and ten out of ten of them were to be wiped out. ”

Liu Fan said thoughtfully. He knew that the more he was at this juncture, the more important it was to keep his mind calm.

It is really a little unwilling to let him withdraw from the army at this time.

spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and lost a few soldiers and horses, but fought a useless battle.

Liu Fan's beloved general Guan Yu has not yet been seen, and the threat to him from Western Xianbei is too great.

At this time, Zhao Ji and Lin Rui, who were dressed in bright light armor, rushed from a distance.

"Tell the general that the Xianbei cavalry that disturbed my grain route has all been annihilated." Zhao Ji saluted and said to Liu Fan.

"The soldiers have worked hard." Liu Fan nodded and said.

Xianbei sent more than 5,000 cavalry, ambushed in the desert in advance, and when the Han army confronted the Xianbei cavalry, the Xianbei cavalry was divided into dozens of squads to attack the Han army's grain road.

With only 10,000 cavalry, it was not enough to completely protect the grain route that stretched for thousands of miles.

Fortunately, there are county soldiers, plus the townsmen are equipped with bows and arrows. to drive the Xianbei rangers away.

However, the constant harassment of the Xianbei cavalry made it difficult for the grain team to march.

After Liu Fan got the news, he ordered Zhao Ji to lead 800 cavalry and ordered Lin Rui to select 3,000 cavalry. Cooperate with the 10,000 cavalry of the old road of Longcheng to pursue the Xianbei rangers.

After half a month of pursuit, it was finally annihilated.

"General, the hidden danger of the grain road has been lifted. We don't need to worry about the future. There is no need to fight with Xianbei again. We can wait. Xianbei gave up good land, cattle, sheep and livestock had nowhere to live, and weapons and armor had no place to cast. The Xianbei departments are just together, and the internal chaos is also chaotic. After waiting for a few months, we put the western marshal back to Xianbei, used the strategy of sowing discord to mess up its interior, and then took the opportunity to attack on a large scale. ”

Xu Huang offered advice to Liu Fan.

Xu Huang is good at defending with soldiers, and his strategy is still as stable as ever.

Livestock have nowhere to live, which means that Xianbei food cannot be recycled, and it is very likely to sit on the mountain and eat nothing.

As the law of the sun deduces, this kind of temporary unification of Xianbei by force can only be temporary, not long-lasting.

There are not a few Xianbei people who are loyal to Luoluo.

"Wait another month, if you don't have a chance, just like the words of the public opinion."

Liu Fan summed up in his heart, Xu Huang's analysis is really good.

Seriously, in half a year, he can really afford to drag it out. But he can't stay here any longer, he has to go back to Yanmen to deal with big things.

If Guan Yu is still alive, he must have gained a firm foothold in a month.

Success and failure, gain and loss, it's useless to think about it.

"No!"

The generals commanded.

On the side of Yanran Mountain, not far from the entire high slope, thousands of Han army camps were neatly stationed.

Fire can't attack here, and water can't flood it. The Xianbei cavalry attacked at night, and there was also a buffer place, and the Han army had enough time to organize soldiers and horses.

For camping, Liu Fan is very good. Liu Fan wished that Xianbei would rob the camp at night and get a breakthrough from it.

"That's it, our army only needs to defend. Don't take any chances. ”

The Japanese law deduction was amazed by the Han army camp.

The Han army camp is a grand view. The bonfire was boundless. It proves that the number of Han troops is also quite large. It also proves that the Han army was well defended.

Seeing that the Han army had many battles, the Japanese law deduced that it was unfavorable, and had the idea of night attacks many times.

Every time, in the face of the Han army's camp, they were discouraged.

"Tens of thousands of our soldiers and horses are guarding here, even the heavy armor that the Han people are proud of, they can't stand up." Lord Xianbei Kuiwan spoke.

"Can the Liyan Tour and the Luoluo tribe be settled?"

Rilu asked Kuiwan.

"I preach to them that the Han army is cruel. The adultery and plunder, the chickens and dogs are not left. They were afraid of the Han army, but they were also at peace. Kui Wan replied to Luo Luo.

"That's great!"

Rilu nodded reassuringly.

……

The west is Xianbei and the west is 100 miles away, next to Yanran Water.

Guan Yu led the cavalry of the Western Regions across Jinhui Mountain, and after a three-day long journey, they finally arrived here.

Guan Yu sent rangers to investigate the situation and learned that all Xianbei had gathered here.

But Guan Yu didn't dare to get too close, for fear of disturbing Xianbei and making the surprise attack plan fail.

"Rest here tonight, and tomorrow will dawn and go to raid the Xianbei tribes in the west. At that time, we will burn their tents, and the Han army east of Xianbei will definitely echo with us. Caught between two sides, Xianbei was caught off guard and was bound to be defeated. ”

Guan Yu called the kings and generals and instructed them.
