"Now the enemy forces have withdrawn!" He held his sword in his waist and shouted to the Wei army on his back: "When they return to Xiangyang with grain and slaves, it will be the time to fight with our army!" But before we do that, we have to give them a little bit of power! Now the fortress of Wanshan has been lost, the enemy's next step is to attack the camel ridge on a large scale, if the camel ridge is lost, then the fortresses of Nanshan are in danger, and there is no danger to defend the periphery of Xiangyang! I command you to leave the city and go to the Camel Ridge to guard the castle while the night is thick tonight! No matter how many troops the enemy sends, you must hold the camel ridge! This is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, do you dare to go! ”

Liu Cheng stepped forward and shouted: "There is a Beiwei army, and there is a camel ridge!" ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "But there is a Beiwei army, don't let the Hu people face up to the camel ridge!" ”

Zheng Yunming waved his left hand vigorously, and shouted categorically: "Out of the teacher!" ”

In the dark night, a gap slowly opened in the south gate of Xiangyang City, and three hundred Beiwei and two hundred Zhenwu vanguard troops rushed out of the city gate. Their target was the Song Army's stronghold in the southwest. However, you have to dive south into the Nanshan mountain system first, and then detour back to Luhuoling.

"When sneaking at night, you must be cautious, do not have unnecessary contact with enemy soldiers, and the most important thing is to get to Luhuling Ridge as soon as possible." Bai Yijie asked: "What else do you want, the deputy will not be refused." ”

Liu Cheng raised the wooden crossbow in his hand dissatisfied: "Asking us to increase the guard of such a key point as Luhuoling, but only letting us carry some portable weapons for night battles, isn't it child's play for the deputy commander?" ”

"Huh?" Bai Yijie smiled: "What weapons are you going to bring to guard?" ”

"At least fifty firearms, four bamboo generals, and a strong bow and crossbow." Liu Chuan complained: "Let me go out with firearms, but I won't let me bring more firearms and ammunition, do you want us to face the elite cavalry of the Tartars naked?" ”

"You don't want to think about how you can move quickly in Nanshan with so many weapons and arrows and ammunition." Bai Yijie shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "Come out quickly, wait until you get to the Luluo Ridge and have its own decomposition." ”

He personally sent Liu Chuan and the last sergeant out of the city gate, and then ordered the city gate to be closed tightly, and he walked up the south city tower along the horse road. Zheng Yunming stood here, trying hard to distinguish the figures of his subordinates marching towards Nanshan in the deep night, but it was obviously too difficult. Although 6 Xunzhi could still see slightly, it was extremely difficult for him to distinguish the distant backs.

"The moon is dark tonight, and it is a good opportunity to break through the Mongol blockade." Bai Yijie said: "When it was dawn, they would enter the mountain. ”

Zheng Yunming nodded and said, "After a while, Yang Luo will take the initiative to launch a night attack and draw the attention of the enemy army to the north gate, so naturally no one is paying attention to this team that has broken through from the south." ”

"I'm worried about whether they'll be able to hold the fort when they get to Luhuoling." The direction of his gaze was the direction of the Camel Ridge: "After all, the Mongols are in a hurry to clear the perimeter before the return of the large army, and they will not stay??" Will stay. ”

But from this moment on, he was powerless in the battle of Luhuling, and everything had to fall on the young Liu Quan.

The night was already dark, and fatigue slowly climbed up Tian Sui's eyelids, making his eyelids more and more heavy, and he tried to open his eyelids so that he would not fall asleep. When necessary, he put his face on the tomahawk in his hand, which still smelled of blood, reminding himself that the enemy was not far away, and was spying on the castle of Luhuoling.

During the day the Mongols made their first attack, which was a seemingly careless attack. About 300 cavalry suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain, divided into several roads and marched up the hill on their backs, and saw that the city was silent, and the banner was gone, so they immediately dismounted their horses, and rushed up along the mountain road without the whole team, and began to ascend the city after crossing the dry trench.

At this time, the Song army suddenly set up a banner, and the rolling wood and stones rained down on the heads of the unprepared Mongolian army, and there were more strong bows and crossbows and non-stop sniping, and the Mongolian army fell into chaos all of a sudden, and immediately retreated and turned to flee. In their opinion, it was impossible to easily capture the castle of Luhuling Ridge. Only patient preparation for large-scale siege warfare is a feasible path.

Tian Sui, who won the first battle, did not dare to relax his vigilance, after all, although the castle defenders were still strong, they were only a drop in the bucket compared to the tens of thousands of troops outside the city. What's more, the day before yesterday, after hearing that the Wanshan Fortress had fallen, Adjutant Wang fled at night, which could not be said to have no damage to the morale of the army, if he hadn't tried his best to lobby, maybe the defenders of this castle would have escaped long ago. And his efforts to convince the defenders to hold out were not selfless. He was much more sober than all the soldiers in the castle, and at this moment he wanted to flee to the south to find a chance of survival, but he could only kill himself. The southern wilderness must now be filled with hungry Mongol cavalry, hungry for every grain and every rank in the hinterland of Jinghu. Further south, you can only encounter more and more enemies. But if they fled back to Xiangyang City, they would definitely be sentenced to death by Zhao Zhizhi's envoy, and even if Zhao Zhizhi could let them go, Zheng Deputy Dutong would never spare them. At this critical moment of survival, how can a noble son like Vice Dutong Zheng, who was born in a famous official family, sympathize with the fear of the grassroots generals in the face of the army, as long as you show a little timidity, he will not hesitate to correct you on the spot and strictly enforce military discipline.

According to the impression that Wang Sui got about Deputy Dutong Zheng in the army, this little Ya can definitely be called ruthless at a critical time. Now the only way to do this is to stubbornly defend this camel ridge castle. This is a large castle built by Zhao Zhizhi himself, with an outer wall, a moon wall, a dry moat and a horse rejection. There are castle towers and forts, just like a mini Xiangyang city. The castle had clean wells, plenty of food and grass, and perfect guarding equipment. Instead of abandoning the castle and being chased by the Mongol cavalry in the wilderness, it is better to settle down and rely on this fortress to fight the Mongols to the death. Xiangyang's Zhao Zhizhi envoy and Zheng Deputy Dutong would not watch Lutuoling being besieged and ignore it.

It's not so much how much he believes in this, but only this kind of false statement can support his uneasy heart, in the end, no matter how important the status of Luhuling is, it can't compare to Xiangyang City, and Xiangyang can sacrifice this place in exchange for precious time. When the time comes, either the imperial court will send reinforcements, or the Mongols will retreat in the spring. It's just a pawn that the old men in the city can use to sacrifice. Perhaps it was when Vice General Wang saw this that he ran away overnight at the risk of being chased by the Mongols in the wilderness.

Tian Sui looked under the city wall, and there was no rustle of leaves in the mountain wind in the dark night, and there was no other sound. But suddenly, he heard a faint sound of branches breaking. The pine torches at the head of the city can only illuminate a small area, and beyond that there is a vast darkness of the night. He immediately became alert, clenched the battle axe in his hand, and quietly woke up his sleeping companions beside him one by one, waiting for the arrival of the enemy's surprise attack.

Momently, several figures touched the city wall, but they did not rush to climb, and shouted in a low voice: "Where are the defenders?" We're waiting for a team from Xiangyang to reinforce us! Please Tian Sui come out to answer~! ”

He can accurately call Tian Sui's name, and naturally there is a good chance that it is a real reinforcement. But Tian Sui didn't dare to be careless, and shouted: "You wait for someone to be interrogated!" ”

The man under the city became anxious, raised the wooden barrel crossbow in his hand and snapped an arrow towards the city, and the crossbow arrow was nailed to the moon-watching card set up at the head of the city. "See it for yourself! This is a crossbow arrow made by Xiangyang craftsmen, could the Mongol sneak attack soldiers use such crossbow arrows? Liu Cheng shouted dissatisfiedly.

Tian Sui took off the crossbow arrow from the moon viewing card, and carefully inspected it under the light of the torch, and there was indeed a line of small characters written on the crossbow arrow, which was made by a craftsman in Xiangyang in a certain year and month.

Tian Sui was overjoyed, hurriedly opened the city gate, and welcomed Liu Quan's army and horses into the city.

After Liu Cheng led the army out of the city, he did not enter the camel ridge smoothly, and only after leaving the south gate did they encounter the Mongolian night watchmen. The first few waves of enemy troops Liu Quan led people to quietly hide and were not revealed, but when they arrived five miles away from the city gate, they were still seen by a group of Mongolian rangers on night patrol, and the two armies fought fiercely in the dark night for a round, but the Mongols could not figure out where the Song army was coming, so they had to retreat hastily. Soon after, the fire broke out in the north of the city, and most of the Mongol troops rushed to the north, so Liu Quancai took the opportunity to lead the team into the Daxian mountain system, and then hibernated in the mountains for a day, taking advantage of the night to approach the fortress of Luhuling.

"Vice Dutong Zheng specially ordered me to come and guard this place!" The first thing Liu Cheng said when he entered the city was that he asked: "The White Army Division said that this place is fully armed, where is it?" ”

Tian Sui then remembered that Bai Yijie had indeed been here before the war. And something was left here. He hurriedly led Liu Cheng to a storeroom near the center of the castle. The storeroom was full of all kinds of firearms, as well as sixteen bamboo generals and one copper general, carefully covered with felt cloth, waiting for the arrival of users.

Liu Cheng nodded: "Very good, get up tomorrow morning and move some of these Laoshzi to the city wall, the Tartars will come up soon!" ”

Tian Sui asked: "Why don't you start carrying it now, why wait until tomorrow?" ”

Liu Cheng glanced at him with disdain: "Grandpa has been tossing for two nights and one day, why do you have to take a nap first, otherwise tomorrow the Mongols will attack, will you be sleepy and fight to the death with them?" ”

He grabbed another one-pound tribulus terrestris and threw it to Tian Sui, who reached out to catch it in a panic.

"This black light blinds the fire, if one hand and foot do not work and a torch falls in the warehouse, we will blow up to the sky without the Mongols attacking us." He yawned: "Leave everything until the sun comes out tomorrow!" ”
