Chapter 1122 Is it a trap?
Duan Ri Lujuan thought that this rescue battle would be a fierce battle. After all, the strength of the Yuwen Department is far greater than that of the Duan Department. The Yuwen Department is still defeated by the Wei army. How difficult is it to rescue the trapped Yuwen Mohuai with just the troops in Duan Ri Lujuan?
But unexpectedly, everything went very smoothly. Duan Ri Lu Juan had just arrived in the north of Lu Longsai and saw the flag of the Wei army, so he did not dare to act rashly. He was thinking about how to advance to rescue Yuwen Mohuai.
But before Duan Ri Lu Juan thought of any good idea, the Wei army surrounding Lu Longsai took the initiative to retreat. This unexpected situation surprised Duan Ri Lu Juan. Is this a new trap for the Wei army?
It’s not that Duan Ri Lujuan was not confident, but that he didn’t think he was strong enough to let the Wei army escape. The Wei army besieged Lu Longsai with the goal of killing Yuwen Mohuai. Moreover, Yuwen Mohuai has no way to enter the sky and has no chance to escape at all. The Wei army gave up besieging Lu Longsai just because Duan Ri Lujuan’s reinforcement was coming and before he even fought, it was obviously contrary to common sense.
Unless the Wei army had any bigger conspiracy, it would be impossible to make such a rash move.
Seeing the Wei army suddenly withdrawing, Duan Ri Lujuan was stuck in his way. It is important to rescue Yuwen Mohuai, but his life and the safety of his tribe are even more important. If he is trapped in to save people, it will be more of a loss.
After feeling that the Wei army might have a bigger conspiracy and trap, Duan Ri Lu Junchu did not dare to march easily, but the Wei soldiers had retreated, and there was no obstacle on the road to Lu Longsai. So Duan Ri Lu Jun sent a small group of troops to escort Mo Kexie to Lu Longsai, asking Yuwen Mohuai to capture the opportunity of the Wei army's retreat and quickly evacuate Lu Longsai. He was responsible for the support on the periphery.
Yuwen Mohuai, who suddenly withdrew from the Wei army on Lulong's front, had already seen it, but Yuwen Mohuai was also suspicious and did not dare to act rashly.
The Wei army has been besieging Lulongsai for several days, but they are just camping at the foot of the mountain and have not launched an attack. In fact, this is not difficult to understand. After all, the ones that besiege Lulongsai are only cavalry units. Cavalry units are suitable for field battles and are not conducive to siege. Obviously, the Wei army is not eager to attack, but mainly siege, as if they are waiting for the arrival of infantry reinforcements. As long as the siege troops are transferred, they will definitely attack Lulongsai.
The Xianbei people were also mainly cavalrymen. To be honest, they were not very good at defending the city, but at this moment they faced this situation, and they had to put the ducks on the shelves. All the cavalry abandoned their war horses and climbed the walls to resist the possible siege of the Wei army.
But the Wei army has not taken action for a long time. Yuwen Mohuai felt a little upset. After all, his army was short of food. This time he entered the subway, the purpose was to plunder some supplies from the western part of Liao. Unfortunately, when he attacked the first city, he was attacked by the Wei army and suffered heavy losses. He fled in a hurry. Not only did he not plunder new supplies, but he even lost all the original supplies.
Although Lulong Pass is a fortress, easy to defend but difficult to attack, the problem is not here. The Wei army had just encircled the block for a few days, and the Xianbei people had already cut off food, and many soldiers could only endure hunger and defend the city.
But the Wei army did not come to attack the city, so that the Xianbei people had no place to use their strength, and no place to exert strength. Yuwen Mohuai knew that if he persisted for another three or five days, the situation would still be like this, before the Wei army came to attack the city, the Xianbei people themselves would collapse first because they would eat all their food and the army would be in trouble without food.
Now Yuwen Mohuai can only count on reinforcements. The closest to Lu Longsai were the only two troops from Murong and Duan. The Murong tribe obviously didn't need to rely on him. Murong Shegui wanted him to die early. The only hope now is probably only on Duan Ri Lu Juan. For this reason, Yuwen Mohuai specially sent Mo Kexie who was wise and promised enough tempting conditions.
Even Yuwen Mohuai thought about these conditions, but in order to win Duan Ri Lu Jun’s reinforcements, Yuwen Mohuai could only bear the pain and give up.
Mo Kexie has been away for several days, and there is no news. Yuwen Mohuai is waiting for him, but no matter how anxious he is, he has no choice but to wait in pain.
However, the more I waited, the more I felt the hope was slim. In despair, Yuwen Mohuai had already begun to consider whether to force a breakthrough while the Xianbei soldiers were still some strength. Because the food was cut off, in order to save their lives, they had to kill horses and eat. Once they were killed, they could only sit back and wait for death, because without the war horses, even if they left Lu Longsai, they would never be able to escape the pursuit of the Wei army.
If you want to break through, you must be as early as possible. Hesitation is only the way to die.
But Yuwen Mohuai has already experienced the power of the Wei army. If he really had to break through forcibly, he would have no confidence in how many successes he would have, or how many people would have the opportunity to break through the siege.
After much consideration, he decided to wait one more day to see if the reinforcements could come. If he still couldn't wait for the reinforcements tomorrow, then he must make up his mind to break through the siege.
Just after Yuwen Mohuai made a decision to postpone one day, he suddenly received a report from his subordinates: "Sir Qi, all the Wei army has been withdrawn!"
Yuwen Mohuai was stunned, suspicious, and personally climbed up to Guancheng to look out. Sure enough, all the Wei troops besieged the fortress had evacuated. The road north of Lulong Pass was empty and lonely.
Trap! It must be a trap! Yuwen Mohuai was sure that the Wei army spent a lot of effort to surround Lu Long, and without achieving any results, they took the initiative to retreat. No matter from that perspective, this matter was a bit incredible, so it must be the conspiracy of the Wei army. They deliberately withdrew their troops to Yuwen Mohuai to lure them out of the city. Maybe the Wei army had already thrown an ambush halfway and waited for them to take the bait.
This is definitely not allowed to go!
Yuwen Mohuaiyan ordered his subordinates not to leave the city without authorization, and those who violate the order shall be executed!
However, as soon as he issued an order, he saw a small team of cavalry coming towards Lu Longsai. Yuwen Mohuai couldn't help but be puzzled. The sharp-eyed soldiers had already seen that the leader was Mo Kexie, their leader. It was Mo Kexie who brought the rescue, so the Wei army suddenly withdrew at this time. The Xianbei soldiers suddenly felt a sense of glory for surviving the disaster, and they all cheered and cheered.
