() Same day, night.

Bollinger Pass, South City Gate.

A "grain protection team" composed of more than 300 people is stationed outside the south city gate at this moment.

"Who?"

The sergeant on the night watch on the tower climbed up the battlement of the city wall and looked down.

"Grain Guard!"

"Why did you come back so late?"

"I met a homeless person on the road, ***, don't mention it, more than ten brothers died!"

The soldiers on the tower wanted to ask a few more questions, but the people next to them were impatient.

"It's so late, what's the ghost called, go down and open the door, Lao Tzu's good dreams are all called away for you!"

"Yes, yes!"

As soon as it was the captain who spoke, the soldier nodded his head again and again, and trotted all the way down the tower to open the city gate.

When he reached the city gate, he opened the gate, and as soon as he opened a gap, a hand came in and covered his mouth. Before he could understand what was going on, a short sword had already plunged into his heart.

The corpse was dragged aside, and the city gate "creaked" and opened completely.

The murderous "food guard" took the torch from his companion's hand and shook it back and forth in front of him three times. The fire shone on his face, it was none other than Tang Xu under Li Yuxuan.

Li Yuxuan, who was lurking in the depths of the forest in the distance, immediately flew out of the forest as soon as he saw the signal, and more than a thousand lightly armed black-clothed warriors immediately jumped out, silently approaching the wall of Bulin Pass, and swarming in from the city gate.

And Tang Xu, who had already stood at the gate of the city, and three hundred soldiers wearing Atbury uniforms had already sneaked up to the city tower at this moment.

The squad leader who scolded his subordinates on the city tower heard the sound of the city gate opening, and after hearing the sound of the city gate opening, he didn't see any movement for a long time, and got up and lay on the city tower to look down.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.

Countless black shadows were quickly passing through the gates of Guò and pouring into the city. But before he could open his mouth to call someone, he and his small team of soldiers were all dealt with by Tang Xu and others.

The plan to capture Bollinger Pass this time, because of the information provided by Xu Zhixin about the terrain in the south of Bollinger Pass, Xu Ruoyu made some changes. The "Black Dragon Knights" abandoned horse combat and switched to infantry melee combat, which made the whole operation more secretive. In addition, most of the people of the "Black Dragon Knights" have the strength of "young swordsmen" or above, and their combat ability is much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, so they are not afraid of infantry combat in hand-to-hand combat.

Li Yuxuan's army, led by Li Yuxuan, Li Fang, and Tang Xu, took advantage of the night and according to the topographic map of the city provided by Xu Zhixin, and quickly controlled all the important strongholds and traffic arteries in the pass. And at this moment, all the Atterbury troops are still meeting Zhou Gong in the bed.

The six members of "Dark Night Without a Trace" were the first to enter the city.

As soon as they entered the city, according to Li Yuxuan's orders and the information provided by Xu Zhixin in advance, they went straight to the city guard mansion located in the center of the city, and their mission was to assassinate Castle, the commander of the Atbury army.

"Leaving No Trace in the Night" is a group of killers secretly trained by the Li clan, with only six members, and they are directly ordered by the patriarch of the Li clan. These six killers have all undergone very rigorous training and testing, selected from among countless people, and their loyalty to the patriarch and the efficiency of their assassination are beyond doubt. But also because of his cruelty and blood, he was called "Blood Crow" by later scholars.

This was the first operation since the establishment of "Dark Night Without a Trace", and it was also the only assassination operation with all personnel dispatched.

With the help of the shadows of some buildings and the gaps in the time of the patrol officers, the six members of the Night Without a Trace assassinated all the patrol officers in the castle guard mansion one by one and dragged them to a dark place to prevent them from being accidentally discovered. The six members work seamlessly with each other, killing, hiding, spying, collecting bloodstains, and communicating with each other in a series of codes to prevent the slightest mistake.

By the time the six of them sneaked outside Castle's bedroom, none of the 196 guards in the entire Nuoda City Guard Mansion were alive.

The six of them glanced at each other, exchanged a few gestures that others couldn't understand, and then nodded to each other.

Two people blocked the door, three blocked the window, and one even flew onto the roof.

Broken doors!

The window is broken!

Four members of "Dark Night Without a Trace" jumped in through the door and window, and as soon as they landed, a hidden weapon was thrown out casually. For a while, hidden weapons flew everywhere in the house, sealing every corner of the room tightly. There is also a killer who ambushes outside the door to prevent the target in the room from escaping. And the location between them is carefully calculated, and the positions between each other are clearly known, and the hidden weapon will definitely not hurt their own people.

Castle, who was lying on the bed, was also very skilled, and as soon as he realized that the situation was wrong, he immediately waved a thick quilt, and his whole body hid behind the quilt, and those small hidden weapons were blocked by him with the quilt.

Just as the four in the room were stunned, Castle soared into the sky and sped out of the door, but an oncoming hidden weapon moved him back into the house, which was the assassin who had been ambushed outside the door beforehand.

Just as the secret weapon outside the door was attacked, and Castle flew back sharply, the four assassins who were already in the room had already flashed their short swords and flew towards Castle's place from four directions.

Seeing that there were already four sharp swords waiting for him on the ground, Castle took his last breath, turned and changed direction in the air for the third time, rushed up more than a foot, and grabbed the beam with one hand.

The roof tiles fell,

A sword light flashed from top to bottom,

head fall,

Die!

The last Assassin finally struck, and Castle, who had no way back, had only one way to go, a dead end.

By the time Castle's headless corpse had fallen into the dust, the members of the room had disappeared without a trace with his head.

During this night, in addition to the death of the defender commander in the assassination of "Darkness Without a Trace", countless Atterbury soldiers were killed in their sleep by members of the "Black Dragon Knights".

By early morning, Li Yuxuan and his army had taken control of the entire Bollinger Pass, and the captured soldiers, plus the wounded in the last attack and defense of the Bollinger Pass, totaled more than 10,000, and more than 1,500 people died in assassination during the night.

According to Li Yuxuan's practice of "not raising rice buckets in the army", the more than 10,000 prisoners were driven out of Bollinger Pass after their weapons and armor were confiscated. Like the more than 2,000 Atterbury cavalry in the past, they had to go hungry in the snow to the town of Deno. Only this time, Remel may not have enough food to feed them.

At this point, Xu Ruoyu's battle plan was completed. More than 30,000 Atterbury troops were isolated in the town of Deno, and after losing a supply route, they could not attack or retreat, and fell into a dilemma, and the initiative of the war had completely fallen into the hands of Li Yuxuan.

December 13, 173 A.D.

General Remel, commander-in-chief of the Atterbury Army stationed in the town of Deno, received two war reports on this day.

One was sent by the defenders of Wright Town, the content of which was that the enemy army raided Wright Town, and when the defenders of our valley mouth returned to help, they obtained the control of the grain in the valley, and General Galiran was killed in battle.

The second is a report from the scouts in the direction of Bollinger Pass, the enemy attacked Bollinger Pass successfully, captured nearly 10,000 of our soldiers, and General Castle was killed in battle.

After receiving the first two war reports, General Remel, who had always been calm, finally fainted to the ground because he could not withstand the repeated blows.

Three days later, while lying on the hospital bed, Remel received a letter from Li Yuxuan from Bollinger Pass, the full text of which is as follows:

Dear Atterbury Commander-in-Chief General Remel,

Our army had already taken control of the Tunliang Valley in the town of Wright three days earlier, and at the same time captured the Bollinger Pass. At this point, the supply of your army has been completely cut off by our army. More than 30,000 Atterbury troops were trapped in Deno Town at the time of Tang Xudong, which was already a dilemma. For now, the general still has two paths to choose from. First, continue to resist, but the final result will only be to bury the bones of the general and his 30,000 soldiers in a foreign land. Second, give up resistance, as long as the general orders the army to lay down its arms, our army can open the net and let the general and all the soldiers go north and return to China. I hope the general thinks carefully!

Suger City Lord: Li Yuxuan

Li Yuxuan, what a powerful young man!

With less than 10,000 troops, he routed our 60,000 people, and repeatedly inflicted heavy losses on our army. To this day, three generals of the kingdom have been killed in battle, and each time the enemy has won more with less.

Dragging the sick body with his sick body in tow, Remel convened the last military meeting of his life in the town of Deno.

When Remeer's men heard that their coach had chosen to give up resistance, they were so excited that they almost tore off the roof of the conference hall.

Remel struggled to stop the noise of his men and said:

"Generals, I know very well what it means for a soldier to lay down his arms! But have you ever thought about it? Today, only 30,000 of our army's original 60,000 men remain, and the army has less food and grass than it needs for three days. At this time when the sky is freezing cold, do we still want to lose the lives of the remaining 30,000 young soldiers? You must know that there are still parents, wives and children at home waiting for them to return home!"

Speaking of this, Remeer, as the commander of the first army, could no longer cry, and all the generals also hid their faces and wept.

"After I go back, I will bear the responsibility for the defeat of Qiē alone, and I will never affect everyone. ”

"General!"

All the generals knelt down, and Remel, who was at the top, shook his head in pain.

December 20, 173 in the imperial calendar.

The 34,843 members of the Atterbury army laid down their weapons on this day, and under the supervision of Li Yuxuan's army, they went north to return home through Guò Brin Pass in an orderly manner, and Remel, who was lying in the carriage, also met his opponent, Li Yuxuan, who was only eighteen years old.

After being convinced that the young man in front of him was indeed the military commander who defeated the 60,000 Atterbury army, Remel only said one sentence: "The world will be the world of the young man in front of him, and the future history of the mainland may be written by him." ”

As the commander-in-chief of the Atterbury expedition, Rimmel died in his hospital bed at the age of fifty-four half a month after returning to China, without waiting for the king's order.

The "battle for the Luoping Plains" is also of far-reaching significance in the changes in the political pattern in the southern part of the mainland.

The kingdom of Carol, which was supposed to belong to the first-class power in the south, collapsed. As a new force, Li Yuxuan's army basically unified the Luo Pingyuan (the port city of Bahrain was still controlled by the Bai clan) and became the most powerful military force in the region (the other was the Bai cavalry stationed in Bahrain). The formation of this political pattern has created the most favorable conditions for preventing Fengxiang from continuing to go north in the future.

In the "Battle for Luo Pingyuan", Li Yuxuan not only obtained his first territory as a base for his future southern and northern wars, but also trained his army, so that the "Black Dragon Knights", who had no war experience, had the opportunity to temper and quickly grew into a powerful cavalry team. The most important thing is that he gathered a group of young and promising generals, except for Li Fang and Su Mi, the rest of Xu Ruoyu, Tang Xu and others are all around twenty years old, and they have prepared the most important talents for their future expansion wars.

On December 21, 173 in the imperial calendar, three former commanders of the three towns of Brin were beheaded, and more than 1,000 soldiers under his command were incorporated into Li Yuxuan's army.

However, the war did not end.

Feng Xiang's army was still launching a tidal wave of attacks on Fallen Leaf City, and to everyone's surprise, including Li Yuxuan, Fallen Leaf City was still firmly controlled by Basel's hands to this day.

At both ends of the Luoping Plain, at the mouth of Luoshui, the largest seaport city in Carroll, Bahrain, was still in the hands of the Bai clan, and there were still 3,000 cavalry stationed there.

The war has only kicked off a prelude.
