On the official road in the eastern part of Great Xia, a group of soldiers and horses quickly advanced towards Chengyang Mansion. Duan Lang and Tai Mingyue took Zhang Qifeng and Zhou Hu's subordinates and took the lead in leaving most of the people. Duan Lang didn't know how long Mo Lan City could hold out, in case he was slaughtered by the army of Western Vietnam, Duan Lang felt ashamed of those friends who had supported him in danger. What's more, Seventh Uncle Han Feng and Pang Gang Fan Cheng are both in Molan City, and Tantai Mingyue is very worried about Han Feng's safety. Duan Lang and Mingyue knew the personalities of these people, if they couldn't hold on, they would definitely live and die with the people of Molan City.

At this time, in the city of Melan, the army of the Western Vietnamese Ping took over the rich city without any resistance. However, the city was empty, except for some old and dilapidated furniture, not even a grain of grain was found.

Mo Kun and Lu Mu had already expected this outcome, and the two were not in a hurry. The food looted by the two armies along the way was enough for them to hold out for two or three months. Moreover, the people in the city will not be able to run far with their families, and sooner or later grain, grass and wealth will be in their pockets. As long as the scouts discover the escape route, these officials and ordinary people will not be able to escape at all.

Above the city, Mo Kun looked at the vast fertile fields outside the city, and couldn't help but feel God's love for Daxia. Because Nanping is located on the shore of the sea, there is a lot of saline-alkali land, and there is very little fertile arable land. Even if a large amount of arable land is cultivated, the yield is much lower than that of Bactria due to the quality of the soil. It is precisely on this basis that the population of Nanping has not been able to develop. War is both plunder and survival, no one likes war, but in order to survive better, you can only desperately occupy and plunder. As the think tank of Nanping, Mo Kun knew that if he wanted to strengthen Nanping, the only way to do it was to wage war against Great Xia. Even if it occupies the southern cities, it can at least double the number of people.

When Mo Kun was in a daze, a captain hurriedly ran up to the city, "Master Qiqi Military Division, the scouts have discovered the hiding place of the officials and people of Molan City. ”

When Mo Kun heard this, he asked in surprise, "In which direction did they flee?" ”

"Master Huijunshi, they did not flee to other places, but hid on the Mibo Mountain on the northwest side. In the past few days, the scouts of the forward battalion have all disappeared near Mount Mibo. To this day, the Scout Battalion has sent a large number of men to find out where they are hiding. The lieutenant replied.

"Great, immediately inform Governor Lu Mudu and come to the camp at the head of the city." After Mo Kun finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the city.

After Lu Mu entered the city, he did not be as idle as Mo Kun, but took the guards to personally inspect the surroundings of Molan City. Lu Mu wanted to see these places, where they were suitable for ambushing soldiers and horses, and where they were suitable for large-scale operations. As the governor of the West Vietnamese soldiers, Lu Mu pays more attention to the reality in front of him. Nanping Mokun, on the other hand, focuses on long-term interests.

Lu Mu learned that the scouts had discovered the officials and people of Molan City, and immediately returned to the camp at the head of the city. In the Chinese army's account, Mo Kun has gathered two generals and is waiting for Lu Mu's arrival.

As soon as Lu Mu entered the big tent, he asked happily, "Why, I finally found them?" ”

Mo Kun nodded, pointing to the marching map hanging behind him, "It's in this position, Mibo Mountain." According to the scout's detailed account, these men were hiding in the area of the eastern cliffs of Mibo. The terrain there is difficult to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible to conduct large-scale operations. ”

Lu Mu looked at it, "The mountains are dangerous, first, you can't enter the cavalry, and second, you can't set up a battle formation. The officials of Melan City chose to hide here, and it seems that there are also high-ranking people in charge. However, there are no soldiers and horses left behind in Melan City, and the ordinary people are just a group of rabble. Mr. Mo, you can send an infantry battalion to the bottom of the mountain in a chariot and attack with a bow and crossbow, and these rabble can't resist at all. ”

Mo Kun said calmly, "It's not a matter of worrying about killing these unarmed people, but so much grain, grass, gold, silver, and soft in the city are transported to the mountains?" Presumably not. I suppose they hid a large amount of grain, grass and goods in other places, and only brought the people of the city to the mountains. ”

Hu Tianzhuang couldn't help but say, "Master Commander, why bother to speculate so much, when the time comes, catch a few officials and ask them, and you will know everything." The last general is not talented, and he is willing to lead the troops there. ”

Huo Hai, the general of Western Vietnam, also stood up and said, "Lord Dudu, the last general is willing to lead the troops to ensure that he is captured." ”

Mo Kun and Lu Mu glanced at each other, and Lu Mu smiled, "Mr. Mo, it's better for you to arrange it." ”

Mo Kun thought for a while, "Since the two generals want to make a meritorious service, let's go together." General Huo Hai listens to the order! ”

"Mo will be!" Huo Hai clenched his fists and said.

"This army division ordered you to lead 10,000 infantry soldiers to Mibo Mountain."

"The last will be ordered!"

"Hu Tianzhuang listens to orders!"

"Mo will be!" Hu Tianzhuang shouted loudly.

"This army commander ordered you to command 10,000 longbow battalions and horses, and follow General Huohai to Mibo Mountain. All military orders must obey the command of General Huo. ”

Hu Tianzhuang was stunned, "Master Strategist, why should I listen to him?" ”

Mo Kun's eyes glared slightly, "Why, don't you want to go!" ”

"Uh~! The last general's order! Hu Tianzhuang agreed unconvinced.

Lu Mu said with a smile, "General Huohai, all actions must be carried out in consultation with General Hu. In this operation, whether there is food, grass and possessions, the credit will be shared equally between the two of you. However, they should have some city guards to protect them, and you should also be careful not to capsize in the gutter. ”

Huo Hai hugged his fists, "Don't worry, Lord Dudu, I and the soldiers and horses led by General Hu will fill each other's gaps, and it will not be a problem to take down a group of rabble." ”

Lu Mu nodded, and Mo Kun arranged for the crossbowmen to cooperate with the infantry soldiers, which could be regarded as a cautious layout. In their eyes, they didn't think that the little Mi Boshan could stop the two generals.

Huo Hai and Hu Tianzhuang were just about to go out to lead the troops, Mo Kun suddenly said, "Wait a minute." ”

The two of them stopped and looked at Mo Kun strangely. Lu Mu was stunned, and suddenly thought of something.

"Yes, I almost forgot about it." Lu Mu said.

Mo Kun nodded and said, "The flies behind you have to be driven away." Otherwise, they will also go around the city in pursuit. ”

Lu Mumian said, "It's not just these flies, according to my observation, there are also a lot of scout spies lurking around, so we must drive them away." Otherwise, Huo Hai and Hu Tianzhuang's movements would soon be grasped by Zhou Long. ”

"Good! The three generals of the Manchurian war, Sicheng Wang, and Fujian listened to the order! Mo Kun began to order.

"The last general!" The three of them stepped forward.

"This army commander orders you to lead the men and horses of the headquarters to meet the headquarters of Kyoto Yixiang City, and be sure to chase them out of thirty miles away."

After Mo Kun finished speaking, Man Zhan asked strangely, "Master Strategist, what about Zhou Long's department?" ”

Without waiting for Mo Kun to answer, Lu Muxin said that you are simply asking this question, "Full War, the three of them are now tied to the same boat, and they only need to attack the headquarters of Kyoto Yixiang City, then Zhou Longzi will contain you to protect the evacuation of Sun Gang Chuti's department." ”

Man Zhan's face was slightly embarrassed, and he hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "The last general will be ordered!" ”

Mo Kun looked at Ying Shoushan, "Ying Shoushan listens to orders!" ”

Ying Shoushan was slightly stunned, and said in his heart that I am a staff general, how could I directly give me a battle order. Ying Shoushan didn't dare to slack off, and quickly stood up and said.

"The last general!"

Mo Kun glanced at Ying Shoushan meaningfully, and he also wanted to cultivate this clever general.

"Guarding the mountain, this army division ordered you to lead 5,000 elite soldiers, and be sure to clean up the surrounding scouts and secret agents. At least before Huo Hai and Hu Tianzhuang leave the city, drive these rats away for me. ”

"The last general has an order, please rest assured, all the people around the city will not be left." Ying Shoushan said excitedly.

After Mo Kun made arrangements, the generals began to get busy. The city gate was wide open, and Man Zhan and the other three took the lead in leading the troops out of the city. Immediately afterwards, the 5,000 men and horses who should guard the mountain separated on both sides of the long snake formation and widened the distance around the city. In response to the scouts from all sides, Ying Shoushan knew that it would be difficult to kill them. All he had to do was get rid of all the stalks.

Half an hour later, Huo Hai and Hu Tianzhuang each led their men and horses, and then they rode quickly to Mibo Mountain in a chariot.

In a dilapidated house not far from the city gate, Han Feng, who was hidden here, observed the soldiers and horses entering and leaving the city gate through the broken gaps. When he saw a cart of foot guards walking out of the city, Han Feng knew that these people must have gone to Mibo Mountain. By chariot, it only takes more than two hours to reach Mibo Mountain. Han Feng didn't know if Chen Zhanxuan could withstand it, in case he lost, I was afraid that Mi Boshan would be dyed red with blood. Han Feng frowned, and now the only one who can go to relieve the siege is Zhou Long's department. He believed that the shadow man hidden outside the city would inform Zhou Long of the news as soon as possible. Han Feng didn't know, Mokun Lu Mu also thought of this, and cleaned up the scout agents around him in advance.

Sun Gangchuti's camp, which was not far from Molan City, saw that the city took the initiative to send troops to kill them, of course they didn't dare to fight hard, and the two immediately ordered to evacuate. Now it's not on the road, you can follow it a little cheaper. The coalition forces have entered the city, and according to Sun Gang's ideas, the agreement between Zhou Long and Deguang has been completed, and it is basically possible to evacuate. Along the way, the two sides also made great efforts, at least preventing a lot of looting and killing.

Sun Gang and Chu Ti were waving their flags and shouting for their masters all the way, which really made many people grateful to Dade. In this regard, Zhou Long disdained to compete with them for public opinion, anyway, the moment of Armageddon was coming, and the people of the world would see who was the real savior.

In the Mibo Mountain, Chen Zhanxuan led 5,000 soldiers and horses to hold two dangerous roads leading to the East Cliff. If it was an ordinary city defense commander to command everyone, he would have been discovered by the other party's scouts a long time ago. Chen Zhanxuan is worthy of being a general who has been fighting at the bottom of the capital city, and he has made great achievements in several bloody battles before he sits on the position of general. In the past few days, all the suspicious people under the mountains and forests have been personally led and killed by Chen Zhanxuan.

It is precisely because of this that this place has attracted the attention of the scout camp in the city. It wasn't one or two scouts sent today, but a whole team of scout patrols. Among these scouts, there were many masters, and Chen Zhanxuan knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to stop and start to focus on arranging defenses.

"Your Excellency, there's a chariot convoy coming this way in the distance." The guard in charge of the lookout at the high place saw the chariot and was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted.

Chen Zhanxuan stood on a raised rock and took a look, because the styles of Nanping and Xiyue chariots were different and the size was not uniform, Chen Zhanxuan could not estimate how many men and horses came from the other side. However, visually measuring the distance, it will take more than half an hour to attack the first dangerous crossing.

"Inform everyone to hide, I'll go and inform Master Jiang." After Chen Zhanxuan finished his order, he quickly ran to the top of the east cliff.

On the ridge at the top of the cliff in the east of Mibo, all the slightly flat places are full of people. Men, women and children help each other, and Jiang Zhuming even arranged for the stove to prevent mountain fires. In addition, some young and middle-aged men are also cutting down trees and erecting simple shelters from the wind and rain.

Although the people trusted Jiang Zhuming very much, their faces looked blank. They didn't know how long they would have to stay in the mountains and forests, and some even began to wonder if they could return to Melan City. Even if these people did not understand the art of warfare, their hearts trembled when they heard that there were 400,000 troops in the West Vietnam.

Chen Zhanxuan found Jiang Zhuming, who was pacifying the people, in the crowd, and whispered, "My lord, the other party's soldiers and horses have arrived, once the war starts, tell everyone not to panic." Moreover, it is necessary to organize a group of young and middle-aged people to act as a reserve force. The people of Melan City are not like the Lidu City, and after the people of the Lidu City have endured several wars, everyone is very cooperative. So, you're going to have to step in. ”

Jiang Zhuming's heart tightened, and his face suddenly became a little pale. Not to mention the people, even if he, Lord Fu Yin, heard that the enemy soldiers had arrived, his legs and stomach were a little weak.

"Zhan Xuan, you~ How sure are you?" Jiang Zhuming asked in a trembling voice.

Chen Zhanxuan frowned and whispered, "To be honest, I'm not sure at all. After all, these 5,000 city defenders were all newly recruited recruits, and they had no combat experience at all. I'm afraid that as soon as I start fighting, they will be scared first. But don't worry, the two dangerous roads are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to attack. ”

While the two were talking, Fan Cheng and Pang Gang walked over. Seeing Chen Zhanxuan hurriedly running up the mountain, the two knew that something was wrong. Fan Cheng hurriedly asked, and learned that the enemy army had arrived at Mibo Mountain, and Fan Cheng and Pang Gang were not as afraid as Jiang Zhuming when they arrived. Anyway, Pang Gang is the big man who has been in charge of the criminal department, and Fan Cheng is the chief official of Dali Temple, and the two are also accustomed to seeing life and death.

Pang Gang looked at everyone and said, "Zhuming, the war is together, you must be calm and not panic." Remember, even if it's a landslide, you can't be moved. Only you, Lord Fu Yin, can sit still, and everyone can settle down. Zhan Xuan, the reserve personnel will be organized by me and Lao Fan. Don't look at the old man's old bones, he was also the one who climbed up from the criminal department back then. ”

Fan Cheng also said arrogantly, "Lao Tzu's treasure knife has not seen blood for a long time, and if they dare to come, Lao Tzu will kill him." Zhan Xuan, I'll follow you to the first dangerous road. ”

"No, no, Lord Fan should stay on the mountain as a backup. Well, I won't say more, we have to go down as soon as possible. Otherwise, those guards may not be able to hold it down. Chen Zhanxuan informed everyone and hurried back to the first dangerous crossing.

Jiang Zhuming looked at the two old adults' faces and their hearts did not beat, and his heart was a little more stable. However, Jiang Zhuming still had no bottom in his heart, and he was telling Chen Zhanxuan that the five thousand soldiers and horses in his hand were not as elite as Lidu City. These recruits have not experienced war, and I don't know if they will be frightened at the sight of blood.

At the foot of Mibo Mountain, rows of chariots gathered in one place. Huo Hai and Hu Tianzhuang glanced at each other, don't look at Lu Mu and Mo Kun have a very good relationship, but the people under his hands don't have the heart of the two of them. After all, they belong to two countries, and they both look down on each other.

"General Hu, wait for my soldiers and horses to be in front, and after your soldiers and horses are pressed, let's enter the mountain in batches." Huo Hai said.

Hu Tianzhuang's bull's eyes glared, "Why is it arranged like this, it should be my crossbowmen who clean up those ants in front, and your people just follow behind." When you all go up, what else do you want us to do in the bow and crossbow camp? ”

Huo Hai frowned, "General Hu, you didn't see that this mountain road is rugged, and you can't line up at all, even if your people go up, it's only a dozen people in the lead who can shoot arrows." Instead of this, it is better to let my people directly fight the knife to open the way. ”

Hu Tianzhuang was about to refute, but when he thought of Mo Kun's explanation when he came, he had to endure it and said.

"Okay, just go up first, and we'll wait at the bottom of the mountain. Anyway, everyone huddles together and gets in the way of each other, and when you get to the mountain, you need to go down to transport food and goods and then call us. ”

Huo Hai was slightly angry in his heart, but it was inconvenient to turn his face with Hu Tianzhuang, so he could only say forbearingly, "Okay, General Hu is waiting here." ”

After Huo Hai finished speaking, he immediately ordered his men and horses, and after the battle knife opened the way and the spear pressed, they marched to the side of the east cliff. Don't look at Mibo Mountain, there is only one mountain road leading to the top of the east cliff, and this mountain is not very high. Otherwise, those old and weak women and children would not have been able to climb up. Even so, those middle-aged men paved the way and tried to make the road as easy as possible. Don't you know that it is easy for the people to climb the mountain, but it is more difficult for the guards who guard the mountain road.

Seeing a long dragon of guards coming to the halfway up the mountain, Chen Zhanxuan, who was at the first dangerous road, immediately ordered in a low voice.

"Quick, cut off the front row of mountain vines, and push down the mountain rocks and rolling wood."

After Chen Zhanxuan finished shouting, he originally thought it would be a loud rumbling noise. Unexpectedly, there was no movement at all. Chen Zhanxuan took a look and found that the guards hidden on both sides of the dangerous road were pale and trembling, and the knives in their hands were all shaking to the ground.

"What are you waiting for, cut off the vines." Chen Zhanxuan said angrily.

Chen Zhanxuan's roar not only woke up the guards, but also made Huo Hai and others who were climbing the mountain listen to it.

Huo Hai raised his head, "Quick, dodge to the sides and hide behind the thick trees." ”

Boom~, the boulder rolling log rolled down from the first dangerous crossing. Although the sound was loud, the West Vietnamese guards were all experienced soldiers, and they were warned in advance and quickly looked for a hiding place.

The big stone log rolled down the mountain, but he didn't get the result that Chen Zhanxuan wanted to see. The opposing soldiers and horses went up diagonally, and only one of the guards did not dodge. According to Chen Zhanxuan's visual inspection, there are only about 200 people at most. But Chen Zhanxuan, these guards had no experience, so they actually cut off all the boulders and logs at once.

"Everyone spread out and rushed towards the dangerous crossing. The other party is nothing more than a swarm of ants, kill them. ”

As soon as Huo Hai gave an order, these experienced guards immediately shouted and charged towards Shandong one by one. The shouts of killing all over the mountains made not only the young guards around Chen Zhanxuan tremble, but on the top of the mountain, there were many women, children and children who were crying in fright.

Chen Zhanxuan's face changed, seeing that the other party was about to rush to the dangerous crossing, Chen Zhanxuan gritted his teeth and shouted loudly at the trembling guards around him.

"Brothers, take up your weapons and fight them. Holding on to the dangerous road, our parents, brothers and sisters behind us will survive. Otherwise, this east cliff top is everyone's grave. If you want to be a bad seed, go back to the top of the mountain, it's a man's, kill me with me~! ”

After Chen Zhanxuan finished shouting, he was the first to jump out with a war knife in his hand. He must set an example for everyone, otherwise if he continues like this, let alone hold on to the dangerous road, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold on for even half an hour.
