Outside the city, the ropes of the fiery serpent ignited by the cavalry of the officers and soldiers circled and swept through the camp of the thieves, and the soldiers were like the blood basins of the giant serpents, tearing and swallowing the flesh and blood of the thieves.

The camp of thieves outside the city to the north was ignited in the night sky, and the smoke and dust pushed by the spreading flames had obscured the starry sky, and in the boundless darkness, the raging red seemed to be formed by the blood flowing from the wounds of the sky after it had been cut, bloody, scorching, revealing all the tyrannical beauty that the cruel reality could fill.

Lan Ziyi stared at the sea of blood and fire under the city, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, if it was Lan Ziyi before entering Beijing, what kind of feeling would it be to see himself sneering at the head of the city, Lan Ziyi wanted to fulfill the lives of people in the world, but now he is smiling and watching the common people turn into a sea of fire, the changes are worlds apart, and this change actually happened to a person in such a short period of time, it is really ironic to think about it carefully.

Of course Lan Ziyi knew this kind of irony, he could clearly feel the pain of tearing in his heart, but what could he do? Now there is no going back, presumably this is the passing of time, and the youth is no more.

Lan Ziyi was looking at the battle situation outside and feeling sad alone, but a soldier hurriedly ran on the city wall, this person was panting, as if he wanted to see Lan Ziyi, the soldiers guarding Lan Ziyi saw that this person was in a hurry and was afraid of an accident and stopped him aside,

Although the sergeant was stopped, his mouth was not gagged, and he shouted to Lan Ziyi from a distance before he could finish searching him:

"Wei Hou! General Zhulu has something to see? ”

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he immediately woke up from his worries and exclaimed:

"What did you say?"

You must know that the sergeants led by Tao Zhulu and the main force in the north are out of the city on the front and back feet, how can it be possible to complete the feint mission and return to the city in such a short time? This must have been a major change that needs to be reported.

Lan Ziyi hurriedly ordered the guards to let him go, and the sergeant who was blocked came to Lan Ziyi and knelt down on one knee and said:

"Wei Hou! General Zhulu has an urgent military briefing, and has now entered the east gate, and the villain is now one step ahead, and has come to inform Wei Hou to assemble his subordinates and five hundred horsemen of the Tiger Battalion. ”

Lan Ziyi chuckled in his heart when he heard the sergeant's request to gather his reserve cavalry, wondering what was going on.

Although Lan Ziyi knew in his heart who was asking for the gathering of troops, he still asked the sergeant with some luck:

"Who asked for the soldiers?"

The sergeant replied:

"If you go back to the Hou Ye, it will be the general of the deer."

Although the sergeant's answer was definitely this army, the luck in his heart was broken still made Lan Ziyi bite his lip nervously, and he asked again:

"What is the military intelligence report of General Zhulu?"

The sergeant clasped his fists and replied:

"The villain doesn't know!"

At this time, the peach next to him leaned into Lan Ziyi's ear and asked:

"Young Master, what should I do?"

Lan Ziyi frowned and gritted his teeth and said:

"Immediately order the remaining soldiers of the Jihu Battalion to assemble in Wengcheng."

Then Lan Ziyi turned around and stared at Tao Zhutu and said word by word:

"You go for yourself! Bring my horses with you! ”

Tao Zhutu heard Lan Ziyi's order to lead the horse and hesitated slightly, and asked:

"Young Master, you're still ......"

Before he finished speaking, Lan Ziyi scolded:

"If you really fall into an ambush outside Beicheng, do you think you and your second brother can bring the field back?

Don't go yet! “

Tao Zhutu had no choice but to nod his fists and take the order.

Then Lan Ziyi ordered another sergeant:

"You immediately go to the east gate to inform Master Gao Yanzong, and let him come to Beicheng immediately to take charge of the command, go quickly!"

The sergeant clenched his fists and hurried away.

Lan Ziyi instructed the soldiers at the head of the city again, ordering them not to act rashly, and to stick to the city and wait for Gao Yanzong to arrive.

After saying this, the sound of horses' hooves was already heard under the city, and Lan Ziyi turned around and prepared to go down the city tower.

Unexpectedly, Tao Zhulu came up along the stairs down the city at this time, Lan Ziyi saw that Tao Zhulu was in the city, but his heart was a little more stable, because if it was really a military emergency, or even if he was ambushed outside the northern city, Tao Zhulu would definitely not have time to enter the city.

Tao Zhulu quickly climbed the stairs and came to Lan Ziyi, and said breathlessly:

"Young master, the situation is not good."

Lan Ziyi said while beckoning the defenders to bring water:

"Second brother, take your time, don't be in a hurry.

What do you say is not good? Could it be that there are thieves in ambush outside the northern city? “

Tao Zhulu took a sip of water, changed his tone and said:

"Yes and no."

Lan Ziyi was a little confused when he heard this, and asked:

"What do you mean by that?"

After taking advantage of this time to calm his breath, Peach Zhulu looked around,

Lan Ziyi understood the meaning of the peach chasing the deer, and immediately ordered the surrounding sergeants to get out of the way and clear an open space.

Then Peach Zhulu said:

"As soon as I led my troops out of the city, I bumped into the messenger sent by the Earth Devil who secretly communicated with me, and he told me that it was not appropriate to raid the thief's tent tonight, and the thief Kou Tianwang and Lei Youde both brought a large group of elite armor soldiers to the meeting."

兰子义 says:

"But the second brother said that there was no ambush outside the city."

Tao Zhulu replied:

"Of course not, according to the earth, the thief Kou Tianwang has been attacking the city for days, with heavy casualties, and before the war, he said that the true god decreed, Xiangcheng will be broken, and now the prestige of the king is damaged like this, and the call for support for Lei Youde to take charge of the army is very high, and the meeting held tonight is to stabilize the army's heart, but the king of heaven and Lei Youde are not at ease with each other, so they brought a large number of people to the town, although the thieves will not be ambushed tonight, but they will hit the wall, which is not good for us."

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he kept touching his chin with his hands.

It's really not as good as heaven, although no one says it now, but think about it carefully, if Lan Ziyi was not so tough when he negotiated with the thief Kou Tianwang in Yuzhou before, and find some excuse to drag on with the thief Kou Tianwang for a while, with the actual situation of Lei Youde's imprisonment at that time, maybe he could let the thief Kou Tianwang behead Lei Youde, but at that time, Lan Ziyi's statement was too tough, and there was no room for maneuver, and the idea of surrendering was broken, and Lei Youde was reactivated, which led to the fiasco of Yuzhou.

And according to the military information obtained now, Lei Youde is very likely to take the opportunity to force the palace to the thief Kou Tianwang tonight, according to Lan Ziyi's judgment, the call in the thief camp is not good for Lei Youde to do it himself, so the possibility of the thief himself fighting tonight is extremely high, once he fights Lan Ziyi can sit and pick peaches, even if he does not fight the thief, it will deepen his suspicion, and the pressure on Xiangcheng will be much less.

But now Lan Ziyi has concentrated his cavalry to assault the thief's big tent, and sent the thief an excuse to unite with the outside world for no reason, which is exactly the same as the mistake made in the last negotiation. But Lan Ziyi fell twice in a pit, which really makes people blush when they think about it.

At this time, the expression on Lan Ziyi's face was like squatting on the pit for half an hour after being constipated for ten years but still didn't react at all, it was really hard to see.

He snorted and asked:

"Why didn't you say such important information earlier?"

Tao Zhulu replied:

"Wei Hou also knows that the earth demon was originally the personal guard of the thief Kou Tianwang, just because he helped Lei Youde say a word, he was sent to Lei Youde to eat cold rice, Lei Youde was the person of the king of heaven, the king of heaven did not treat him as a person, and he was not trusted at both ends, he didn't feel that something was wrong until Lei Youde set off with the elite, and the camp was empty, and after getting the information, he contacted me as soon as possible, but it was too late, I only knew after I met him after breaking into the thief camp."

Lan Ziyi listened to Tao Zhulu's words, frowned and looked out of the city,

The battle outside the city is still raging, and you can clearly see that the fire snake that ignited the thief camp is still advancing, and the cavalry who went out is still raging in the thief array as if it were in a no-man's land.

But how long can this continue? The task of the night attack is to go straight to the thief Kou tent and behead the thief Kou Heavenly King, but after so long, the cavalry is still rushing in all directions, indicating that the big tent has not been found, and now it is known that there are a large number of thieves and elites stationed around the thief Kou tent, even if they rush over at the first time, they may not be able to get benefits, and now the thieves are estimated to be ready after delaying for so long.

Tao Zhulu said on the side:

"Young master, you already understand the situation, now let me go and bring everyone back."

Lan Ziyi glanced back at Tao Zhulu and said:

"How did you bring it back?"

Tao Zhulu didn't understand what Lan Ziyi was saying, so he could only say:

"I have brought back all the people who attacked the east gate, plus there are a thousand cavalry in the city, these people are enough to break through the possible resistance of the thieves, and when I find the eldest brother and them, I will explain the situation to them and order them to return to the city immediately."

Lan Ziyi listened to what Tao Zhulu said, just pondering, and did not answer,

Seeing this, Tao Zhulu asked:

"Does the young master still want to continue to look for the thief's tent and risk an impact?"

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi took a deep breath and sighed:

"I don't know until I get to the front line, how can I decide here."

Tao Zhulu was taken aback when he heard the news of Lan Ziyi's expedition, and hurriedly said:

"Young master, the moon is dark and the wind is high, the soldiers are in chaos, it is too dangerous for you to go out."

Lan Ziyi saw that Tao Zhulu didn't want him to go out of the city, and said angrily:

"I'm the commander of an army, can't I still watch a play here if I don't go out of the city?

Wei Qionglou is full of revenge today, can you let him come back when you go out? If I don't go to Wei Qionglou, who will I listen to? “

Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhulu were about to argue, when the garrison sergeant suddenly said:

"Look, there are torches outside the city!"

There was already a fight outside, and there was something unusual about torches, but the sergeant loudly reported that there must be movement on the thief's side,

Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhulu turned around and looked outside the city, and sure enough, there was a whole dense area of torches and lanterns in the depths of the bandit camp in the distance, standing in the middle of the formation like a wall, the wall of light swayed back and forth with some irregular rhythm, the fire and light were all together, I don't know whether to advance or retreat, the worst thing is that the fire snake composed of the official cavalry has disappeared, and the spread of the fire has stopped, it seems that the cavalry out of the city has been intercepted by the thieves.

Tao Zhulu looked at the bright light and said:

"The battle has already been engaged, but why are our officers and men neither advancing nor retreating, they seem to be in chaos."

Lan Ziyi sighed:

"It's just a coincidence that we know that there are elite thieves there, but the soldiers who went out of the city don't know that they think it's an ambush for thieves, thinking that they have been tricked."
