The sun slowly rose, and the golden sunlight shone on the majestic pass, shining between the desolate grasslands and the mountains that stretched for thousands of miles, driving away the fog and bringing a hint of warmth to the cold north in the morning.

Xiong Ba hurried to the camp before dawn. Wu Yan received the notice and immediately sent a note to greet him. At the same time, he ordered people to invite two masters. He did not dare to neglect this important official of the Xianbei. Last month, he was in Danhan Mountain. It was because of Xiong Ba's help that He Lian had almost no big deal, so he managed to get the Lord Cheng Luoluo and his group of forces. He Lian favored him and tried his best to keep him in Danhan Mountain. But Xiong Ba still returned to Murong Feng.

Xiong Ba sat in Wuyan's tent, opened a large cowhide map and laid it on the ground. Wuyan and Queji Suli surrounded him.

"Master, please see, two sirs, this is Lu Longsai." Xiong Ba smiled, pressed his right hand on the top of the map and waved it back and forth twice.

"When the Han people first built this fortress, they took a lot of thought. The entire fortress was a huge 'Sky' shape defense system. Even if the first defense was broken, there was still a second defensive front that could be used. It takes troops to stick to such a large fortress, but now they only have two troops and 1,600 people. The Han people have not been attacked by us for a long time and have forgotten us."

"The general believes that our head-on attack Lu Longsai will suffer huge losses, and the gain will not be worth the loss. He suggested that we carry out a feint attack on Lu Longsai's front, and use the main force to attack one of its wings, break one point first, and disrupt the enemy's defensive front line. Once the Han people lose their flank protection, their front-on defense will inevitably increase pressure. At this time, they can only mobilize their troops and regain the flanks. And we will concentrate the main force and give them a heavy blow on the front. Once their defense collapses, Lu Longsai will be ours."

"Can you explain it carefully?" Wu Yan said immediately.

"The first defense of the Han people is very threatening. The front wall is tall and wide, and the two wings are built against the mountain, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Especially its auxiliary walls play a key role in protecting and strengthening the defense of the entire fortress. When a crisis occurs in the front defense of the fortress, his wings can immediately support troops. The terrain of the auxiliary wall is higher than the main wall, and the siege troops are within its effective range. However, there must be disadvantages. Once the auxiliary wall is lost, the defense of the main wall is a huge threat, and all favorable conditions will become unfavorable conditions."

"To reduce the resistance to frontal attack, it must solve its auxiliary walls, Yunlou and Meilou. The Meilou on the left wing of the fortress is lower than that on the right wing Yunlou. When we were feinting the main city wall, we attacked the Meilou with a main force. While defending our frontal attack, the Han people did not dare to give up their left wing. They had no choice but to send a reserve army. We consumed all of his reserve troops on the Meilou. At this time, we suddenly attacked the Yunlou with the highest terrain. The Yunlou without support will definitely be taken down by us."

"If the Han people lose Yunlou, the right wing of the defending troops will be exposed to the range of our bows and arrows. At this time, we will attack the right wing of the main wall with all our main forces. Lu Longsai's first defensive front will immediately collapse. If the enemy loses the first line of defense and the morale of the people is severely hit, how long can we hold on to Lu Long Tower?"

"So, for the frontal feint attack, you must grasp the number of attacks and intervals, so that the Han people can not only think that this is the main attack direction, but also that the Han people feel that they can still defend and do not need the support of the reserve troops. The troops attacking the Meilou must fight fiercely and fiercely, and consume a large amount of Han soldiers, so that the Han people mistakenly think that we are going to break through there. Remember, the key is not to occupy the Meilou, but to force the enemy to pull all the reserve troops up the Meilou and give them to us for consumption."

Suli shouted: "Xiong Ba, are you obviously asking me to fight for my whole life?"

"Fatty, don't think I don't know how many people you have come this time. What's your name? Your army is facing the left wing of the fortress, and you are the bravest warrior of our Xianbei people. Of course, it's the most suitable for you to attack. Will attacking a small Meilou insult your talents?" Xiong Ba said with a smile.

Suli didn't make a sound, and her face was a little unhappy.

"Don't worry, the enemies on Meilou will not exceed 200 people. Your losses are not as great as you imagined?" Xiong Ba saw that he was unhappy and hurriedly comforted him.

Suli immediately stretched out her eyebrows, "Didn't you lie to me?"

Xiong Ba shook his head, "I won't lie to you." Then he bowed to Wuyan and said politely: "As long as King Khan Lu's orders are instructed."

Wu Yan looked at the three of them and thought to himself: Will you listen to me even if you three sit here? A joke. He cursed hatefully in his heart, but replied loudly: "What are you saying? I follow the leader of the Grand Marshal. Everything is listened to the Grand Marshal."

Que Ji and Suli exchanged glances and said in their hearts: This kid is quite cognitive.

Tian Jing stood on the city wall, looking at the camp of the Hu army in the distance, with a solemn face on her face.

Behind him were two officers in armor. The tall and thin middle-aged man on the left was named Wang Jin, and the burly middle-aged man on the right was Chai Ting. They were the Sima of the Lulongshu border army. Generally speaking, a Sima of a military leader led at most 600 troops. However, the Han Dynasty had a specific organization of the border army, one piece and two songs, and eight hundred people. As for the commander, the lieutenant, it depends on the situation and how many troops were led. According to convention, the two groups were one battalion and the two battalions were one army. In Lulongshu, the Fenwu school leader Tian Jing led a battalion to guard the border.

Tian Jing threw a total of five troughs, one thousand men and one thousand men on the front battlefield, prepared all the city-guarding equipment, and prepared to fight the enemy to the end. He arranged a trough of men and horses on the two wings to support the defense. He only left a trough of men and horses as the reserve force, while the rest of the grooms and friends kept at Lulong Tower and guarding the Crescent Tower. His troops were limited, and he also felt that he was stretched and could not get into the pot when facing the attack of the enemy's 8,000 troops.

Wang Jin and Chai Ting are both veterans who have been through the battlefield for a long time. They silently followed Tian Jing, looking at the Hu clan alliance camp that stretched for miles on the grassland outside the border, and felt heavy in their hearts.

Yesterday, the cavalry had already set off and once again sent a request for help to Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, and Liu Zheng, the prefect of Youbeiping. Tian Jing was very clear in his heart. With his current personnel, it would be no problem to support him for ten days and half a month, but it would be hard to say if the reinforcements of the two adults could not arrive within half a month, the possibility of Lu Longsai losing it is still very high.

"Sir, the logistics supply troops of the Wuhuan and Xianbei people arrived in the morning. There were about a few thousand people escorting a large amount of fodder and supplies stationed behind the Barbarian camp. The Barbarians are determined this time, and they will never stop even if they see the situation." Wang Jin frowned slightly and said softly.

"These barbarians have not launched such a large-scale invasion for several years. They probably have itchy skin and they have to scratch it." Chai Ting said hatefully.

"Can there be cavalrymen who come with the supply troops?" Tian Jing observed the city wall for a while in the morning, and was busy with Lulong Tower because of the matter, and did not see the enemy's logistics supply troops rushing to Lulongsai. He asked a little worriedly.

"No. From a distance, they all looked like ox carts and horse carts, and they were probably all old and young people in the Barbarian tribe."

Tian Jing turned around and looked at them with a serious expression: "This time the Hu people came prepared and were aggressive. The earliest attack momentum would definitely be extremely fierce. Tell the soldiers to resist the Hu people's offensive at any cost and severely attack the arrogance of these barbarians. Look at whether the barbarian's big sword and spear is sharp, or our wall is powerful."

From the morning, Li Hong saw many Xianbei soldiers running to Meishan Mountain to look left and right, then gathered together and pointed at Meilou, not knowing what to discuss. In the morning, Xianbei soldiers began to dig soil and bag it outside the range of the Han army commander's arrows, and then bags of bags were nearby. Li Hong felt something was wrong, so he called Cheng Jie.

Cheng Jie lay on the battlements of the city wall, looked for a while, and asked Li Hong: "Heizi, is there anything wrong with it?"

Cheng Jie was very strong, stronger than Li Hong, not tall, with a unshaven face. Li Hong looked at him and expressed his questions.

"What can Xianbei people do with soil bags? It's just to fill somewhere. The main city wall is five meters high, and the Xianbei people can't fill that height even if they dig soil for one month to pack the bag. The city wall here is built on the mountain and goes up with the mountain, which is only three meters high. If the enemy starts from the middle of the mountain to form a platform with soil bags, they will have a place to place ladders and can attack us with ladders."

Cheng Jie didn't think about it and said with a smile: "Don't think about it anymore, madmen will think of attacking the city wall from the mountain. The terrain on the mountain is tilted, not only can they not gain a foothold, but it is very difficult to replenish soldiers' equipment. Don't think that their barbarians are all fools, they are very smart. Even if there is a place where they can set up ladders, how many people do they have to invest to attack? It's impossible."

"But we only have 260 people, distributed on the 80-step city wall. Not only are the troops scattered and it is difficult to launch effective blockades, but once they are broken by the enemy, it will be a disaster for the soldiers defending on the main city wall." Li Hong felt that his idea had some truth, and he tried his best to convince Cheng Jie.

"No one, do you know? No one." Cheng Jie himself knew that he would definitely report any abnormal situation, but what is the purpose of reporting? It is nothing more than asking for people.

Seeing Li Hong's expression was ugly, Cheng Jie comforted him and said, "I'll report, okay. Keep staring here." After that, he ran along the city wall to the top of the mountain. Yunlou was on the top of this small mountain.

Zhou Hao, the chief of the village, attached great importance to it and ran down like a flying two people. Zhou Hao is a typical northern man, tall and strong, with a curly beard. After listening to Li Hong's explanation, he looked at the figures of the enemy soldiers busy on the mountain, pulled his beard with his big hand, thought for a long time, and said two words: "Look again."

At noon, Wu Fei, the military man, came over with his entourage. Zhou Hao hurriedly greeted him and said something about his morning discovery. Wu Fei was very surprised and hurried to the area of ​​the scouts defense. After listening to Li Hong's explanation, he patted Li Hong on the shoulder and praised him: "No, good, have a vision." He turned around and said loudly to the entourage: "Report to the Jun Sima Wang immediately, hurry up." The entourage ran away like a flying one.

Wu Fei was in his thirties, with short beards and two eyes, and always looked smiling. He looked at Zhou Hao, Cheng Jie, pointed at Li Hong and said, "This girl is very smart, smarter than you two." Then he left Li Hong with a proud look on his face and led Zhou Hao and Cheng Jie to continue to go up the mountain.

Just after lunch, Li Hong immediately discovered something was wrong. He found that the number of Xianbei soldiers on the mountain suddenly increased. The piles of soil bags like hills had been divided into dozens of small piles by more soldiers, scattered halfway up the mountain. Cheng Jie walked over and found an abnormality. He said strangely: "What do these barbarians want to do?"

"It's going to attack." Li Hong said talking.

Suddenly, the huge oxen horn came out of the Hu clan's camp. The long and low voice suddenly tore through the quiet sky of Lu Longsai.

Then hundreds of trumpets were blew in every corner of the camp, and countless battle flags were shuttled back and forth in the camp. The soldiers walked out of the tents and concentrated nervously and orderly towards their respective battle flags.

The soldiers of Lu Longsai stood up on the city wall and looked into the Hu clan's camp. In the fortress square, the busy soldiers stopped their work and looked at the city wall.

Tian Jing, who was standing on the city wall, had already changed into military uniform, black armor, black helmet, and black steel gun. He looked at the Hu army who was ready to go out and waved behind him. The messenger standing behind him made a gesture to the flag soldiers standing on the inner wall.

A violent drum sounded suddenly over Lulongsai.

The horn of the war has sounded, the drums have begun, and the prelude to the decisive battle is about to begin.

The soldiers on this side of Meilou looked at the movements of the Hu clan alliance camp and looked at the main wall of their homes with a very nervous expression. Most of the soldiers in Lu Longsai had never participated in a real war. They held their weapons tightly, opened their mouths slightly, and their hearts were beating violently.

Li Hong looked at their expressions and couldn't help but remember the scene when he participated in a battle at Mazuipoto two months ago. At that time, he was also very nervous and gasped heavily. Li Hong couldn't help but think of the great coach Murong Feng. He seemed to be afraid that people would find the secret, and looked up at the woods with guilt.
