Although the terrain of Dingyang is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack, the premise is that there are defenders, and now because of the fighting on both sides, the defenders from all over the country have transferred ten ** In the front line to resist the enemy and pacify and suppress the people who infiltrated the hinterland of the country on the border, so Dingyang has less than 2,000 defenders, no army is stationed, no matter how strong the city gate can not stop the attack of Dongyou, and now there is no possibility of sending reinforcements at all, after Dingyang, it is a route that extends in all directions to Chu State, there is a direct route to Chu Jing, if Dingyang also falls into the hands of Dongyou, the Dongyou army will inevitably go straight to the eastern hinterland of Chu State, and then the country of Chu will really not be able to keep it!

And the people who moved away from the border city are behind Dingyang!

How could Lou Yueqing not know Mo Quan's worries, but her considerations were different after all, she gritted her teeth, and said coldly: "General Mo, you will be defeated before you fight, you are too worried!"

"Princess......

Lou Yueqing looked at Mo Quan with some impatience and said coldly: "Get up, go down and make arrangements, wait for my order, and wait for the rest to wait for the end of this battle!"

Mo Quan still understands the temper of this princess a little, and it is difficult to change the things she decides, seeing her insistence, she has no choice but to accept her fate, get up and retreat.

After Mo Quan went down, Mo Li, who was waiting on the side, spoke up: "Master, are you planning to ......?"

Lou Yueqing looked at the Dongyou army outside the city that could barely see the edge, her eyes deepened, and her expression was unclear: "Today's battle, the only way to win is to win in danger, and the two armies fight to win, but the Chu army is afraid that it is difficult to win in this situation now, but the art of war is cloudy, the thief captures the king first, the commander is dead, and the army's heart is chaotic, just like the Chu army today, although my martial arts are not as good as back then, it is still no problem to kill a person......"

She asked those generals last night, there is only one commander in the Dongyou army, Meilingnan, and the rest of the generals are only deputy generals, and there was originally a second-grade general, but he died at the hands of Lou Yichen in the battle during this period of time, and Meilingnan is arbitrary and does not like to share power with others, so the generals in the army have no real power, and most of the generals in the army are difficult to preside over the overall situation, as long as Meilingnan dies, the Dongyou army will be chaotic!

Mo Li raised his eyebrows: "Then Mo Li covers for his master?"

Lou Yueqing turned her head to look at her, and immediately vetoed: "No, you go back to the General Military Mansion immediately, stay by my eldest brother's side, and never leave,!"

Mo Li's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately exclaimed: "Master!"

Lou Yueqing said: "After a while, the two armies will fight, and there will be chaos in the city, what if someone takes advantage of the chaos? You go and stay by my eldest brother's side, remember, your responsibility today is to protect my eldest brother, in case ...... I mean, if you really can't hold the city, you must leave immediately with my eldest brother, he can't be fine!"

Mo was willing to leave where he was, and said busily: "But the master ...... you"

Lou Yueqing interrupted her and said: "Don't worry about me, although my martial arts are not as good as back then, it is still no problem to protect myself as a last resort, and besides, I am eighty percent sure that I can hit with one blow, you don't need to worry about me!"

Mo Li saw that Lou Yueqing's expression was firm and unshakable, and it was obvious that he had made a decision, so he could only obey his orders: "Then the master must take care of himself!"

"Well, go ahead!"

Mo Li turned around and wanted to leave, but after taking two steps, he stopped, turned his head and said in a low voice: "When you invite the master to go into battle to kill the enemy, don't forget that your own body is very involved, His Royal Highness the Regent, as well as the little county lord and the little prince are waiting for you!"

Lou Yueqing's body stiffened, and Mo Li had already left.

In just such a short time, the Dongyou army has slowly approached, only a hundred zhang away from the city tower, almost covering all the open space outside Dening City, there are chariots in the army, and all kinds of things needed to attack the city......

And in Dening City, the army has been assembled, and it is gathering on several streets near the city gate, occupying almost half of Dening City, waiting for the order, obviously according to Lou Yueqing's orders, when the army was assembled, the news of her in Dening City had spread all over the army, and when Lou Yichen was injured and unconscious, the news that the regent princess was responding to the enemy together in Dening City spread, which effectively inspired the army's heart.

Lou Yueqing watched the army slowly approaching, turned around and went down the city tower, ordered three thousand archers to cover on the city tower, and then ordered the city gate to be opened to face the battle.

The enemy army plans to attack the city, so they can't get close to the city gate, surprise, think that Meilingnan must now think that after Lou Yichen was seriously injured, the Chu army will be in chaos, and it will definitely be vulnerable, but if the Chu army takes the initiative to go out of the city to meet the active side, it will definitely disrupt the enemy's plan!

Sure enough, when the Dongyou army was still about fifty zhang away from the city gate, the gate of Dening City was opened, and a large number of Chu troops rushed out, rushing up to fight without saying a word, which caught the Dongyou army off guard.

A melee began, and the two armies fought, blocking the footsteps of the Dongyou army, and only the front part engaged the Chu army.

The archers on the city tower also kept shooting arrows to kill the Dongyou soldiers in the melee, so that the Dongyou soldiers couldn't get close to the city tower even a step.

Mei Lingnan was behind the army, and was about to order the army to quickly approach the city gate to prepare for the siege, when there was a sound of fighting in front, because the 300,000 army was a little far away, and across the army, he only saw the city tower from afar, and he didn't know what was going on under the city tower.

Mei Lingnan didn't wait for him to report, and immediately asked, "What's going on ahead?"

The adjutant general immediately replied: "General Qiqi, when our army was just approaching Dening City about fifty zhang, the city gate was opened, and the Chu army rushed out to engage our army, and now the two armies are fighting!"

"What?" Mei Lingnan was shocked, immediately stood up, and squinted his eyes: "How can this be?"

The adjutant general said: "The last general doesn't know what's going on, but now that the state of Chu is opening the city to meet the battle, blocking our army from moving forward, I'm afraid it won't be able to attack the city for a while!"

Mei Lingnan squinted his eyes and asked puzzledly: "Isn't Lou Yichen's shaft seriously injured and not awake? How could the Chu army open the door to face the battle?"

He shot Lou Yichen's arrow yesterday, although it was not fatal, but it was definitely seriously injured, the commander was seriously injured, and the Chu army's morale was bound to be frustrated, Lou Yichen could not have the strength to command the battle to boost morale even if he was awake now, it stands to reason that now the Chu army can at most defend Dening City, or use part of the army to drag the Dongyou army, and the main force of the army retreats to Dingyang City behind, but now it is actually open to face the battle?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Mei Lingnan immediately said: "Ben will go and see!"

After speaking, let his subordinates bring a horse, ride the horse around the army and go forward!

On the city tower, Lou Yueqing stood behind a battlement, looking at the scuffle below, and didn't see Meiling South for a long time, only a few generals with faces in the melee.

She has seen Meiling Lingnan, she has been in Dongyou for so many years, she has seen it once, and she naturally remembers the appearance of Meilingnan!

Squinted his eyes and sneered: "This old fox!"

After looking at it for a long time, her eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and the corners of her lips twitched with a sneer, and then she turned her head and ordered a military general waiting behind, and said lightly: "Prepare a set of armor for me!"

Because Mo Quan was busy deploying, he sent a deputy general to accompany her, this deputy general is called Chen Ke, a member of Lou Jiajun, and Mo Quan's direct subordinate.

Chen Ke was puzzled when he heard this: "What does the princess want armor for?"

Lou Yueqing looked at the scuffle outside the city, and lightly spit out four words: "Put on armor and go into battle!"

Chen Ke was shocked, and immediately knelt down on one knee and waved his hands in a deep voice: "Princess, no!"

"Why not?"

Chen Ke said: "The princess is a daughter, her status is noble, how can she put on armor and go into battle? Now that the battlefield is chaotic and there are no eyes for swords and arrows, what if the princess is injured? Now that the princess is here, our army will be greatly boosted, and it will definitely repel the Dongyou army, and please ask the princess to watch the battle here, don't risk yourself!"

Lou Yueqing disagreed: "It's okay, those knives and arrows can't hurt me, go and prepare!"

"Princess......

Lou Yueqing's face was condensed, and her tone became fierce: "This is a military order, violators will be dealt with by military law!"

Chen Ke had no choice but to turn his head and order a soldier to get a smaller set of armor, according to Lou Yueqing's instructions, it was a set of armor worn by generals!

Lou Yueqing changed her armor, put up her long hair, picked up her sword and walked to the prepared horse.

After turning over and getting on her horse, she instructed several generals on the side: "When you see the signal flare in a while, you will immediately go out to encircle and suppress the Dongyou army, and you must not delay!"

"Yes!"

Lou Yueqing rode out of the city, and Chen Ke followed with a bunch of soldiers.

When Meiling Nan rode around the entire army to the front, he saw the two armies fighting, and there were a large number of Chu troops below to block the Dongyou army, and a large number of archers on the city tower were also constantly shooting arrows to kill the Dongyou soldiers, and the main force of the Dongyou army was blocked from the hundred zhang and could not get close, the archery carts and catapults could not shoot the city tower at all, let alone the archers, and the soldiers who were fighting with the Chu army were also busy dealing with the Chu army, and the Dongyou soldiers fell one after another, but the Chu army was more and more brave and high-spirited......

Mei Lingnan's cold face suddenly sank, and he immediately stepped forward to fight with a knife.
