Although Lan Ziyi has always been protected by Tao Zhutu, and the amount of activity is much smaller than that of the soldiers guarding the city, but because he has been busy with reading before, Lan Qianzhen asked him to practice martial arts, and he never went, and his physical strength has always been very poor.

The previous battles were mostly field battles, and there was no feeling of riding on a horse.

This time, Lan Ziyi, who was guarding the city, was wearing heavy armor all over his body, and he ran for a long time, and he didn't feel anything when he was fighting hand-to-hand with the thieves.

After seeing the thieves retreating, Lan Ziyi originally planned to command the army to collect the wounded and clean up the battlefield or something.

What Lan Ziyi didn't expect was that as soon as he opened his legs, he sat on the city wall without obeying the call.

Tao Zhutu was busy firing arrows at the thieves outside the city, and when he heard a movement behind him, he glanced back, and found that Lan Ziyi was sitting on the ground and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

Tao Zhutu saw that Lan Ziyi's face was covered with sweat, the sword in his hand had fallen to the ground, and his two hands were shaking.

Lan Ziyi laughed embarrassedly, took his legs back and sat down cross-legged, and said:

"It's a shame that you became like this."

Tao Zhutu took off Lan Ziyi's helmet, handed Lan Ziyi a water bladder, and said:

"Wei Hou, it's the first time you're fighting on foot with your whole body draped, have you practiced before, it's normal to be tired, there's nothing to be ashamed of.

Come, young master, take a drink and rest. “

Lan Ziyi took the water bladder, drank half of it in one go, and then took a deep breath, when Lan Ziyi just felt a little more comfortable, his stomach suddenly churned, and he almost vomited all the things in his stomach with a retching sound.

Tao Zhutu squatted next to Lan Ziyi's back and said:

"Young master, slow down, rest and rest."

The soldiers of the forbidden army stationed on the city wall all knew that Lan Ziyi was the son of the acting prince, who had been pampered since he was a child, and had never suffered, so he didn't care about him like this.

However, the militiamen who were originally stationed in Xiangcheng looked at Lan Ziyi and secretly laughed, and discussed the weakness of this guard marquis one after another.

Lan Ziyi sat on the ground and coughed violently, struggling to cough out all the choked water, making his face full of tears and snot. He saw that the militia around him were pointing at him and laughing, and his face couldn't hold back, and he was red with shame.

Fortunately, at this time, Gao Yanzong yelled at the people in the city:

"Laughing at what? Lan Weihou Wuxun noble, Gongzi is like you group of mud legs rushing to the front and not dying, now you are tired and still laughing? What's the smile? Give me the work! “

Then he pointed to the two leading militiamen and scolded:

"Come over to Lao Tzu and take my knife down!"

As he spoke, he threw the Guan Wang knife in his hand to the two people,

Where did those two militiamen suffer this, they almost didn't catch it and fell to the ground,

The people around didn't dare to talk any more, and buried themselves in tidying up the city wall.

Gao Yanzong came to Lan Ziyi and squatted down, Lan Ziyi gave him a grateful smile and said:

"Thank you, Lord Gao, for breaking the siege,

I'm too weak to help the wind, it's a shame. “

Gao Yanzong probably looked at Lan Ziyi's face, and then said:

"Wei Hou is hot, some heat stroke,

Get up, and it would be better to blow the wind on the edge of the wall. “

Lan Ziyi drank the water, and also felt that he had regained some strength, looking at Gao Yanzong's outstretched hand, Lan Ziyi waved his hand and grabbed it, and stood up from the ground with a hard pull.

Tao Zhutu also stood up and held Lan Ziyi, who was still a little unstable,

Gao Yanzong smiled:

"Wei Hou let me see the majesty of the men in Beizhen today."

Lan Ziyi waved his hand embarrassedly and said:

"Don't make fun of me anymore, I haven't made much progress on the city wall, but I'm tired just after the battle, so what's the majesty."

高延宗 says:

"Wei Hou, please don't say that, you are weak, you shouldn't have charged, I always thought that Wei Hou You led the cavalry to rush to kill the thieves The rumors are false,

As a result, today I saw Wei Hou and the thief sacrifice their lives in hand-to-hand combat, so I believed the merits of Wei Hou that I had heard before, of course, it was Wei Hou who let me know the majesty of Beizhen. “

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"I'm from the border of Beizhen, Master Gao, you are from a jinshi, but now I have become a scholar, and you have become a general, this is really ...... The world is unpredictable. ”

Gao Yanzong also laughed and said:

"Although there is a specialization in the art industry, but the technique used is chosen by oneself.

Wei Hou and I were both born into the wrong business, and we didn't know what we should do before, but now that we understand, let's just don't blindly look at those who don't have it. “

Lan Ziyi smiled, did not answer Gao Yanzong, and then diverted the topic and said:

"What are the casualties of the defenders of the city? Are the walls broken? We had to send the wounded soldiers down to the city and bring supplies up. ”

高延宗 says:

"From the side of the West Gate, there are some wounded in our army, but there are not many dead, and the situation of the other city walls can only wait for the soldiers to report.

Wei Hou rested first, don't think about these things for the time being, and wait until his body recovers. “

Lan Ziyi nodded, and Gao Yanzong turned around and plunged into the army next to him, busy directing the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Lan Ziyi looked at Gao Yanzong, and said next to him:

"This Gao Yanzong didn't stop wielding such a heavy knife just now, and now he is not tired at all?"

兰子义 says:

"It's a pity that he is not a general of Beizhen, otherwise this Northern Expedition will definitely be able to be crowned."

Tao Zhutu helped Lan Ziyi to the city wall, the strong wind blew, Lan Ziyi felt a lot more comfortable, but the strong smell of blood in the wind made people uncomfortable.

Lan Ziyi looked down at the outside of the city, the army of thieves had retreated to the camp, leaving corpses all over the ground.

The moat had long since been filled, and the river overflowed, washing away the dead sergeants and flooding the earth with blood.

After being trampled by hundreds of thousands of thieves, the outside of the city had rotted into a thin mud, and the corpses buried in the trenches were pushed out, and the corpses on the ground sank, as if there was no land outside the city, because the land had been flooded with corpses.

Lan Ziyi sighed, they were all Dazheng people, why did they suddenly become thieves?

After standing for a while, Lan Ziyi retreated from the city wall, he couldn't bear to look at the endless corpses outside the city, although some of these corpses were made by his own hands.

Gao Yanzong had already arranged the defenders on the city wall, and when he saw that Lan Ziyi was almost fine, he came over to discuss military affairs with Lan Ziyi.

高延宗 says:

"The situation in all parts of the city wall is clear, although the thieves are besieging on all sides, but because there are only ladders, there are not many casualties among the soldiers in the city."

Lan Ziyi asked:

"What about the wounded soldiers?"

Gao Yanzong replied:

"The lightly wounded ones are being bandaged directly on the city, and the seriously injured ones are being transported to the city.

The Mr. Wen Ruo you brought with you was really a capable official, and as soon as the battle was over, he asked the city to stop sending instruments and send gold sore medicine and tea and rice instead.

He's more suitable to be this official than me. “

At this time, Lan Ziyi was already much more relaxed, and his spirit recovered, so he teased:

"Actually, I also think that it is more suitable for Master Gao to lead the troops than me."

Both of them laughed.

After the effect, Gao Yanzong says:

"I don't know when the next round of the thieves' offensive will be, and there is not much time left for the city."

Lan Ziyi looked at the camp of thieves outside the city and said:

"The thieves are not regrouping, but retreating, they have already returned to the camp,

Besides, tall man, please take a look. “

Lan Ziyi said and stretched out his hand to point to Gao Yanzong,

"The smoke and dust in the camp were pouring low, and this was not an organized movement, but the actions of the sergeants in the camp.

I think the thieves are just like us, busy dealing with injuries, and they shouldn't be attacking today. “

Gao Yanzong asked again:

"What Wei Hou said makes sense, but could this smoke and dust be deliberately done by thieves to confuse us?"

Lan Ziyi turned his head to look in all directions, and after observing, he said:

"No, tall man, you see that the thieves camp in other aspects also have the same low smoke and dust, if it is really the thieves who are cheating, this kind of bewilderment that spreads throughout the camp will take time to organize, and the thieves will not have time to retreat at all.

And even if the thieves are confusing us, if they want to attack the city, they must first cross the city wall, as long as the thieves come out of the camp, the tall adults can see it, so why be afraid of him.

In my opinion, it is important to leave people to guard and do a good job of vigilance, and it is important for others to seize the time to rest, and don't be beaten by thieves and die of exhaustion. “

Gao Yanzong smiled after hearing this:

"Wei Hou is talking about himself, right?"

After that, he laughed with Lan Ziyi.

After laughing, Lan Ziyi ordered the soldiers in the city to rest, and Gao Yanzong also arranged specific manpower to stand guard.

At this time, a sergeant came to the city, found Lan Ziyi and said:

"Wei Hou, General Zhulu asks Wei Hou and General Zhutu to come over."

Peach Rabbit asked:

"What's the matter with the second brother?"

The herald replied:

"General Zhulu didn't say much, only said that he invited Weihou and the third general to come over."

Lan Ziyi didn't ask much, turned around and found Gao Yanzong, and left after a brief explanation.

Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhutu rode horses to the east gate, and when they saw the soldiers in the city, they were also cleaning up the battlefield.

Tao Zhulu came from the side, saluted Lan Ziyi, and then looked at Lan Ziyi carefully, and Lan Ziyi was a little embarrassed.

Lan Ziyi asked:

"What is General Zhulu doing at this time?"

Tao Zhulu replied:

"Just now, the thief died, I'll see if Wei Hou is injured, since he is not injured, I am relieved."

Then Peach Zhulu said:

"Gao County Ling is a jinshi in the end, his head is flexible, and the long pole he prepared helped a lot when guarding the city, which impressed me."

After hearing this, Peach Rabbit said:

"What is the long pole, Gao Yanzong is fierce."

Saying that, Tao Zhutu told how Gao Yanzong flew up and down on the city wall just now, cutting people like chopping vegetables.

After listening to this, Tao Zhulu sighed and said:

"It's a pity that Gao Yanzong doesn't become a general."

After Tao Zhutu finished speaking, Lan Ziyi asked:

"What's the matter with the second brother calling me over?"

Tao Zhulu turned his head to look at the people around him, waved his hand to summon a few pro-soldiers, and then led Lan Ziyi into the city gate tower, after closing the door, Tao Zhulu checked the door, and after confirming that only his cronies were guarding, Tao Zhulu said:

"When the thieves attacked the city just now, the one who supervised the battle on the east gate was the Heavenly King's Guard Armor who was co-opted by me in the thief camp last time, and I have exchanged notes with him, so I will go out of the city to him tonight to inquire for information."
