The fifteenth day of the first month of the Chang'an calendar.

It was the Lantern Festival, when it should have been lively, but Wuwei County was deserted, and the streets were full of Menghu soldiers.

Dressed in a thick mink fleece coat and wrapped in a velvet cloak, Mungo sat on a bloated horse and led the guards out of the city.

Outside the city, Menghu's army had been assembled, and everyone was full of wine and food, and they were alive and well.

Inside the city.

Wang Kee Pharmacy.

"Master, is my sister awake?" The apprentice was squatting on the ground pounding medicine, looking at the master on the counter and asked.

"It's not ...... yet," Wang Chuan said in a low voice with red eyes. I didn't sleep all night last night, so I was guarding in front of Hua Niang's couch. Xu was too frightened, and until now, he hasn't woken up.

"The girl you brought back is awake." The apprentice squeezed his eyes.

"You, make good medicine, what are you thinking about?" Wang Chuan couldn't cry or laugh, this little cub.

The apprentice naughtily stuck out his tongue and seriously pounded the medicine.

Wang Chuan put down his work and turned around and went into the backyard.

in the room.

"Girl, how are you? Feeling better? Wang Chuan looked at the weak woman on the bed and said worriedly.

"Much better, thank you for the rescue, ...... in the future," the woman said with all her might.

"Huh? Where, the doctor is benevolent, how can I see death and not save it, the girl is so resting, Mo Yan will say those words again. Wang Chuan covered her with a quilt and spoke softly.

The woman nodded, tears welling up in her eyes.

Wang Chuan didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to leave silently.

Entering the front hall, he went up to the second floor.

Flower girl in front of the bed.

"You're here......" Hua Niang slowly opened her eyes.

"You're awake." Wang Chuan stepped forward quickly and held Hua Niang's hand.

"I'm hungry." Hua Niang smiled slightly.

"You wait, I'll do it for you now." Wang Chuan touched her head, got up and ran quickly to the kitchen.

……

The Menghu army was gone, leaving behind a mess of Wuwei County.

……

At the same time, the Li Bibu of the Yilong Battalion, which was heading in the direction of Wuwei, was in the deep mountains not far from Wuwei County at the moment.

They soon saw the torrent of Menghu's iron horsemen as well.

"Commander, what should I do?" The soldiers asked.

"We take the mountain road, no matter what, we must find the brothers of the Suzhou battalion, counting the time, they should almost go to the Wuwei area." Li Bi nibbled on half of the bread in his hand and said quietly.

"But what if you can't touch it......" the soldier said, expressing his concern.

"They won't walk the road, so nine times out of ten, they'll be in the mountains." Li Bi affirmed that he trusted his own judgment.

The soldiers silently ate their last remaining dry rations.

"Let's move on, before dark, to see if we can enter Wuwei County." Li Bi looked at the hungry and cold soldiers, he couldn't bear it, thought about it, and went to the city to repair it.

Now the soldiers came to their senses and got up one after another.

The Monhu people headed south on the avenue.

The Yilong camp is on a trail in the mountains, all the way to the north.

……

Xiping Battalion.

Pharmacist Li looked at the sky, and felt a little anxious in his heart, tonight, he was going to attack the city, whether it was success or failure, it was a matter of one fell swoop.

"What is General Lee worried about?"

Suddenly, Chang Dan's voice sounded, which caught Pharmacist Li off guard.

"Why is the young master here?" Pharmacist Li looked at Chang Dan, whose face was flushed, and said in surprise.

"Your general is going to war, and you still don't allow me, the young master, to support you on the field?" Chang Dan joked.

"Where, the young master is hard, please." Pharmacist Li hurriedly pulled Chang Dan into the big tent.

The brazier in the big tent was burning brightly.

"I see that the soldiers are preparing the ladder, and General Li is about to attack?" Chang Dan asked as he roasted his hands.

"yes, can't wait any longer." Pharmacist Li also estimated that Menghu's main force should have moved.

"Our army is five times larger than the enemy, and we have the chance to win." Chang Dan said confidently.

"The grain and grass in Jincheng have also arrived, and we are close to taking Xiping City." Pharmacist Li ushered in the grain and grass transported from Jincheng yesterday and was happy all night.

"Oh?" Chang Dan was surprised.

"Isn't it the young master's doing?" Pharmacist Li was also surprised by Chang Dan's reaction.

"I didn't give the order...... Just let the county guard arrange for the people to evacuate. Chang Dan said truthfully.

"Oh I see, that's right, it must have been my brother's doing, and whoever knows me is better than him." Pharmacist Li stroked his beard and laughed.

"Lord Gunjo?" Only then did Chang Dan know that the two were still in such a relationship.

"Yes, the two of us joined the army at the same time, and followed Bai Shuai through countless battles, which can be described as a friend of life and death." Pharmacist Li recalled.

"No wonder it's so tacit." Chang Dan sincerely envied such brotherhood and couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh yes, I almost forgot, young master, a few days ago I received a letter from someone I don't know, it says that the south gate will open when it gets dark today. The old man doesn't know whether it's true or not, can the young master take care of one or two for the old man? Pharmacist Li talked about the matter, with a serious face.

"There is such a thing...... Chang Dan frowned.

"Since the old general is preparing to attack, it doesn't matter if it's true or not." Chang Dan said.

"It's just that the old man is curious about the person who sent the letter......"

"Not from my alien dragon camp." Only then did Chang Dan understand that it turned out that Pharmacist Li thought that he had arranged Neiying in the city.

"That's weird." Pharmacist Li said in a low voice.

The two talked for a while, and Chang Dan went back to the tent to rest.

It was very dark, and the wind roared like a wild beast over the field.

……

"Are you all ready?" Pharmacist Li asked, fully armed, on his horse.

"Alright." Vice Admiral Wang replied.

"Okay, take advantage of the sky, sneak." Pharmacist Li said in a low voice.

With that, with a wave of the long sword, 10,000 troops quietly approached Xiping City.

Chang Dan didn't go, and sat in the handsome tent and took a nap. He knew he wouldn't be able to help if he went.

At this moment, in the city of Xiping, the food is running out, and the soldiers are killing a few horses to prepare dinner.

The sentries at the head of the city crouched behind the battlements to avoid the strong winds.

Not to mention those in the barracks, who are waiting for horse meat around the brazier, in fact, they can only get a bowl of soup.

Morale was low, no one spoke, and the quartermaster's head was still dangling in the wind on the walls.

The remnants of the Karados tribe were even more angry at the moment.

What about Anda? Naturally, as usual, drunk and dreaming in the Rose Garden.

"Yuerong, Yuerong, you will follow the general in the future, I will ensure your glory and wealth, and when you return to the grassland, the Khan will reward me with a tribe, and the two of us will be together every day." Anda snorted and chirped drunkenly.

Yuerong stood behind him.

Anda babbled for a while, leaning on the table, snorting and sleeping.

"That's it." Yuerong took out the token from Anda, turned around, and nodded at Mother Hong.

Mama Red took the token and hurried to the backyard.

Rose Garden backyard.

More than a dozen masked men in black waited.

Mama Red walked in.

Stuff the token to the person in charge.

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while, everyone, don't let down the landlord."

"Whoa!"

Not long after, more than a dozen black-clothed people shuttled through the paths in Xiping City, heading towards the south gate.

……

It's dark.

The wind was so strong that the Menghu defenders simply did not even light the torches and braziers at the head of the city. They all cowered behind the battlements to avoid the wind.

Pharmacist Li took the soldiers and horses under the cover of the strong wind and touched the place not far from Xiping City, but the Menghu people did not even notice it. This can make Pharmacist Li very happy in his heart, God help me!

Just as he was about to give the order to launch a charge to attack the city, suddenly, there was a movement at the city gate, and he looked carefully, and in a short time, the city gate was wide open, and there was fire.

Changing rapidly, Pharmacist Li did not hesitate, and immediately ordered, Vice General Wang led the vanguard cavalry to charge quickly, enter the city, and control the city gate. The brigade waited and watched for a while.

I couldn't help but say, Vice General Wang flew out of the horse, led the cavalry of Shangguo, and was ready to teach you a lesson to the Menghu people.

Pharmacist Li clutched the reins, a little nervous.

The sound of horses' hooves shaking the earth and mountains finally alarmed the Menghu people at the head of the city.

"No...... Oh no! The Han people are in, flee quickly. ”

"Run, General Anda is dead!"

……

Before the Menghu defenders at the head of the city could react, shouts erupted in the city.

For a while, Xiping City began to be in chaos, and the Menghu soldiers who were still drinking horse broth were stunned, and the general died? Isn't this a joke, I drank two sips, no, where did the sound of horses' hooves come from? After thinking about it, he put down the bowl and prepared to take a look at the situation, but when he turned around, he found that the outside of the barracks was already full of white-character flags, and the Ganzhou Iron Cavalry was looking at them......

Some of the Menghu soldiers tried to resist, but before they could touch the scimitar, they had already been shot into a hornet's nest. The rest of the people, where did they dare to move, and they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Vice General Wang glanced at the Menghu people in the camp, well, it's a little less, this should only be a part of guarding the city gate, no, the rest can't run. made a decision immediately, divided the troops and rushed to the north city gate.

Seeing such a situation, Pharmacist Li was overjoyed, what are you waiting for, rush!

The soldiers of the Ganzhou battalion have long been unbearable, but they have waited until now.

Under an order, the soldiers scrambled to be the first, holding spears, carrying large shields, desperately charging towards the city, the originally prepared ladder was not needed, and the cloud echelon was not far behind, so he simply threw the ladder and pulled out the long knife, which is one word, kill!

In the face of such an army, where do the Menghu people still have the heart to resist, but everyone who meets them is kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, if it weren't for the strict order issued by Li Yaoshi, I am afraid that they would have been chopped into mash by the angry soldiers.

Just when the general situation in the city was set and the remnants of the enemy were suppressed, the sound of the piano sounded in the rose garden.

Four or five tables of wine and food, and the people in black drank happily, which was called a pleasure.

Yuerong personally stroked the piano for them.

Anda was tied to a log, and until now, he is still drunk and confused.

……

"General, all the 1,000 defenders of the northern city have been captured alive."

"General, the remnants of the enemy in the city have been cleared."

"General, our army has all entered Xiping."

Pharmacist Li, who should have been happy, frowned.

"Have you caught the enemy guards?" Pharmacist Li asked.

"Nope." The soldier replied.

"Go and search quickly, and there must be no mistake." Pharmacist Li strictly ordered that he must meet his opponent, who had caused himself to starve for so many days in this Xiping wilderness.

"Yes!" The guards hurried to the various ministries to spread the word.

Only then did Pharmacist Li rest assured and took his generals to the Xiping County Mansion to settle down.

Soon, Chang Dan also entered the city with his guards.

After a few hours of noisy, Xiping calmed down again, only the wind was howling, as if nothing had happened.

Night.

The excited soldiers of the Ganzhou battalion couldn't sleep at all, they could finally have a good hot meal, and they could finally live in the barracks, how could they not be happy, naturally, the generals did not forget, and ordered the men to hurry up to prepare meals and reward the soldiers.

……

A rooster crows! Break through the tranquility of Xiping.

People trembled and opened the windows, observed the outside in horror, and when they saw the white military flags all over the street, they were so excited that they broke down the doors one after another, and cheered on the street!

Pharmacist Li was woken up from his desk by the sound of a boiling voice. He cleaned up his messy desk and smoothed his beard.

"Why is it so noisy outside?" He asked aloud.

"Back to the general, it's the people who are celebrating." The guards had smiles on their faces.

"Hahaha, okay, by the way, did the enemy general catch it?" Pharmacist Li asked.

At this time, Vice Admiral Wang walked in through the door.

"Early this morning, I caught it, hahaha It's funny, it was actually drunk on the street, and it was kidnapped and sent by a few people." Vice Admiral Wang laughed so hard that he couldn't speak well at all.

Pharmacist Li couldn't hold back after hearing this, and laughed out loud.

"Let's go, let's see."
