Not to mention that Hu Chuquan was uneasy in Yiyun Castle, Daman led 20,000 troops to head south and rushed towards Suyi County where the Han army camp was located. Suyi County was about 180 miles away from Yiyun Castle, and it took two days to march in the valley road.

Daman was Huchuquan's cousin and the direct descendant of the Hun royal family. He was named King of Right Rizhu, second only to King Xian and King Guli. Daman's father Luanti Yundan was the second largest tribe on the grassland after the Shanyu headquarters. The chief of the Yundan tribe was called King of Old Guli.

It was precisely because of his father's spoiling that Daman was arrogant and he led 10,000 tribe troops to follow the Shanyu south. Until now, he had not gained the opportunity to fight. However, he watched the Hun army suffer repeated setbacks. He felt frustrated. Today he finally volunteered to go south. He could not wait in his heart and kept calling for the army to speed up.

Mei Li was a little uneasy. Not sending a scattered person to investigate the ambush along the way first, and just burying his head and advancing is a taboo in military strategists. Mei Li knew that Shanyu sent him to follow Daman, but Shanyu was worried that Daman would be reckless in doing things, so he sent him to keep an eye on him.

Mei Li urged his horse to catch up with Daman and said, "Little Prince, this kind of advance is not a way to march. Let me go to the front to explore first."

Daman glared at him fiercely, "Didn't you report to the Shanyu that the Han army abandoned the pass and fled, and now you are worried about an ambush. Are you playing with the Shanyu?"

Mei Li smiled bitterly and said, "If there is an ambush, wouldn't we be wronged? Please be careful."

Daman snorted coldly, "You are just a small right bone marquis. What power do you have to command me? If you dare to overstep your power, I will kill you."

When Mei Li heard his words rudely, he stopped talking and followed behind with a slight face. For some reason, he hoped that this arrogant man would be attacked by an ambush.

Although Daman didn't want to listen to Meili's persuasion, he was a little worried and ordered: "Slow down the marching speed and send an investigator to check in front."

......

At noon the next day, 20,000 troops arrived in Suyi County, which was more than 70 miles away from the exit of Luochuan Road, but the valley ahead suddenly became wide open. It was a natural basin, and Suyi County was located in this basin.

Daman led his army to run around, and he was really tired. He pointed at the two mountains in front with a horse whip and asked the guide, "What are the two mountains in front?"

"Report to the prince, the two mountains are called Shuanglu Mountain. After passing Shuanglu Mountain, it is Suyi County. There is a canyon about ten miles long in the middle of the mountains called Luming Valley. The terrain is very dangerous. A few months ago, the Han army built a city wall at the entrance of Luming Valley."

Daman suddenly became interested and asked, "Is there the main force of the Han army outside that wall?"

The guide smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know this, but there is indeed an army stationed next to Suyi County, which is very large."

Although Daman was arrogant, he had some basic common sense. He knew that Luming Valley was the last line of defense for the Han army. After passing Suyi County, although he had to walk south for dozens of miles, the Han army had no danger to defend and could enter Guanzhong.

He saw the soldiers running around for a day and a night, and the people were very tired, and then ordered: "Stay on the spot for half an hour."

The soldiers were already exhausted. When they heard the order, they all dismounted to find the ground to rest. Daman ordered a patrol team to check the situation in the valley.

Soon after, several patrolmen rode back on horseback and reported: "Prince, there are soldiers guarding the inner city of the valley, but it seems that there are not many people, only a few."

"Is the city wall strong?" Daman asked again.

"The city wall is very strong, about a meter high, and the terrain is very high, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack."

Daman rushed here, with the purpose of breaking into Guanzhong and creating a great achievement. How could he stop the army and go back just because there were a few defenders on the city wall?

However, he did not have enough weapons to siege the city, only twenty siege ladders, and he needed at least fifty. Seeing the surrounding trees, Daman immediately ordered a commander: "Go and cut down five big trees and come back."

The commander of the thousand-man agreed and immediately led a thousand soldiers to cut down the trees. At this time, Mei Li could no longer help but come forward and advised, "Little Prince, please listen to your humble words."

"Do you still want to persuade me?"

Daman said angrily: "You said there will be ambushing, so I will slow down my marching speed. As a result, you delayed my marching where the ambush is. You still have the face to persuade me again."

"I am not talking about marching now, but Han soldiers guarding the city, which means that the Right Xianwang did not open the straight road. Our progress was successful, and it is probably the enemy's plan to lure troops. It is better to withdraw first."

Before Mei Li finished speaking, Daman whipped his face hard, causing Mei Li to scream in pain, covered his face and squatted down. Daman pulled out his sword and pressed his throat, and said in a sequel: "Don't think I'm scaring you. I said, if you dare to commit crimes again, I will kill you."

Several generals next to him hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Daman's arm and advised: "General Mei Li has good intentions, for Princess Alan, please spare him this time."

Princess Alan is Meili's wife and Shanyu's sister. Of course, Daman also understands that he cannot really kill Meili. However, he is terrible to Meili, and it is definitely not as simple as Meili's advice. There is no personal grudge between him and Meili, but Daman's father Luan Tiyundan and the Huyan family have deep grudges.

Daman withdrew his sword and said angrily: "As a general, I want to withdraw my troops before fighting. This is to disrupt the morale of the army. According to military law, I can cut off your head, but for the sake of the Shanyu, I can spare you again, but I am ugly in front of you. Or you leave, I will never stop you. If you want to stay, shut up. If you talk about it again, even the gods can't save you."

Mei Li felt hatred. He didn't say a word, but turned over and ran northwards. His guards also got on the horse and followed him.

Seeing him gone, Daman couldn't help but snorted, "Get farther away, the better."

Two hours later, the Huns army made twenty simple city ladders, and Daman immediately ordered the army to prepare for siege.

At this time, the Wanqin leader Subuye stepped forward and advised: "Little Prince, the valley is ten miles long. If our entire army enters the valley, once the entrance is blocked by the enemy, we will be trapped in the valley. There must be an army to respond at the entrance."

Subuye was also a famous general in the Huns' army, and was also the number one person in Daman's way south. Meili was driven away, and Subuye was the chief general of the army second only to Daman.

Of course his persuasion was worth it. Daman suddenly realized. He thought about it and said to Subuye: "Since there are not many defenders, I will only lead 5,000 troops into the valley to attack the city. You can lead the rest of the troops to defend the valley entrance. If any abnormal situation occurs, please inform me immediately."

"Abide by the order"

Subuye led 15,000 troops to garrison near the entrance of the valley, while Daman led 5,000 troops to slaughter into the valley.

Shuanglu Mountain is also called Lu Huitou. The mountain looks like two reverberating deer staring at each other. A ten-mile-long valley is formed at the foot of the mountain, called Luming Valley. This is one of the two dangerous valleys on Luochuan Road, and the other is Yiyun Valley.

The Han army built military forts in both valleys. The Han army in Yiyunbao has given up, and now only Luming City is left. Once the Huns army occupy Luming City, the Han army will have no danger to defend on Luochuan Road south, and the Huns army will continue to break into Guanzhong.

Daman led five thousand people into the valley. The sides of the valley were quite narrow, with only more than twenty feet wider and only five or six feet narrower. The cliffs on both sides were covered with vines, but strangely, there were no plants in the valley, and there were bare rocks everywhere. Some big trees were left with only stumps, and there were obvious signs of cutting down.

It was almost dusk, and the valley seemed a little dark, but Daman did not consider siege for a long time. He believed that if the defending city was not strong enough, he could seize the city in one go.

Five thousand troops did not ride horses, carried forty siege ladders, and came to a mighty place not far from the city. At this time, an escort who was left in the valley came to report, "Little Prince, the number of defenders on the city suddenly increased."

Daman was stunned and asked anxiously: "How many people have increased?"

“There are at least a few thousand people.”

Daman was stunned for a moment. Thousands of people guarded the city, but he only led 5,000 people. How could he attack him suddenly feel something was wrong in his heart. Maybe Mei Li was right. This was the Han army's plan to lure troops.

At this moment, I heard a loud rumbling behind them. The entire valley was shaking. Many soldiers were unable to stand firmly and fell to the ground. Daman was so scared that he lay on the ground. There was another loud noise in the valley. It took a long time to finally calm down. Daman slowly looked up after a while. He saw dust flying in the north, and the entire valley was filled with pungent dust.

A soldier rushed over and reported loudly: "Your Highness, countless huge rocks fell on the mountain, blocking the valley, and we can't get out.

Daman was so scared that he shouted, "Go and open the passage, let's evacuate."

On the top of the city, Liu Jing looked at the Hun soldiers a mile away with his hands behind his back, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He had received Wei Yan's report and trapped Liu Qubei's Wan army in the straight road. Liu Jing was also inspired by this and could use the ten-mile-long Luming Valley to trap the Hun army going south to death in the valley.

Liu Jing set up this trap, but he learned from the scout that the chief general who led the army south was actually Daman, the cousin of Huchuquan, and the King of Right Zhuri of the Huns. He had a new idea in his mind, and he might not be in a hurry to annihilate Daman. He could use Daman as bait to force Huchuquan to go south to rescue.

If other Hun generals were trapped, he had already ordered the tincture oil to be thrown away to burn them, but Daman did not need to rush to burn them to death. It would be useful to leave him behind.

Qin Mi, a military officer, stood aside. He understood Liu Jing's thoughts, but there was an uncertain factor here, so I wonder if the King of Han had considered it.

"Your Highness, I have a doubt, I don't know whether to speak or not."

"You said" Liu Jing turned around and looked at him.

"How can your Highness be sure that Daman has entered the valley? If Daman is waiting outside the valley, only a captain of ten thousand horses comes in..."

Liu Jing shook his head, "It's not Captain Wan Qi, it must be Daman. He shouldn't have come to this battle, but he came. Facing the barrier with only a few people defending, I can't think of any reason he would stay outside."

Liu Jing looked back at Qin Mi and smiled, "Some things are difficult for me to explain, but in my position, I can understand Daman's psychology."

"Your Highness doesn't need to explain, I understand."

At this time, a soldier rushed to report, "Report to Your Highness, news came from the top of the mountain that the huge rocks had become a blocked canyon."

"very good"

Liu Jing was waiting for this moment and coldly ordered: "According to the plan, I will order Wang Ping and Wu Ban to send troops."

Daman led his army to run out less than a mile and saw several huge rocks piled up together at the narrowest part of the valley, which would be blocked.

At this time, several soldiers had already climbed up the stone first and flipped over. Daman suddenly saw a glimmer of hope. With the help of the soldiers, he climbed up the stone in panic and prepared to flip over the stone.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers in front shouted and turned around and ran back. A raging fire ignited in the valley ahead. The fire spread rapidly and immediately swallowed up several soldiers who had run slightly slower.

The other soldiers climbed up the big rock and turned it back. Daman also rushed down from the big rock and ran into the valley.

But the fire only burned to the big rocks and stopped spreading into the valley. Daman's legs became weak and he sat on the ground, fearing it in his heart, and hugged his head tightly. He thought that if the Han army wanted to set fire to the valley, no one of them would survive. His only hope now was that Subuye came to save him.
