The battle lasted from dawn to early morning, and for several hours the Liang army had already lost more than half of its ranks, and the rest was only stubbornly resisting. Fan Yao stood on horseback, his face could no longer control the joy in his heart, this anti-ambush battle has been carried out according to his design so far, the Guangyuan army outside the city is evenly matched with the defenders, and it is difficult to attack the city for a while; And the Xuanjia army in the city has been completely defeated, and the reason why it is still barely supported so far is all due to their commander.

Fan Yu stared at that figure, revealing a sly smile, whether the results of this battle can be expanded depends on whether he can capture the enemy boss alive, not to mention that the boss is still the prince of the enemy country!

"I'm going to condemn you!" Fan Yu raised the scimitar, and was about to order a complete end to the battle, when he subconsciously looked in the direction of the mansion, and the sound of the battle from there gradually subsided, thinking that the killing of the sand halberd was also coming to an end. But when Fan Yu thought that Yu Chizong was also going to come to share a piece of the battle with him, he was unhappy in his heart.

"I won't worry about you for the time being, and I'll clean you up when I return home!" When Fan Yao turned his head, he found that the south of the city was in flames, and the battle situation had changed. What's going on? I didn't give an order, who would dare to disobey the military order and act without authorization! Before Fan Yu could understand, wave after wave of shouting and killing began to come into his ears continuously, judging from the sound, this was not from his own army!

Fan Yu's worries were not wrong, the battle in the south of the city changed from a bluff at the beginning to a real sword, and the initial strategy of the Guangyuan Army to lure the enemy changed after receiving the fireworks signal, although he did not carry siege equipment, but Yang Zhong had a premonition that the battle in the city was stalemate, and still ordered to take the gatehouse. As a result, after sacrificing batch after batch of soldiers, the Guangyuan Army began to take the initiative in the battle into its own hands. Despite this, the resistance of the Tang defenders was still stubborn, and it would take some time to break the city in one fell swoop. What Yang Zhong never expected was that the head of Yinzhou City suddenly caught fire, and the fire became more and more fierce, causing the Tang army to take care of itself, and Yang Zhong immediately ordered the army to charge. When the first stormtroopers arrived at the city gates, the city gates were opened from the inside!

This is to lure the enemy deeper! Yang Zhong realized that he had fallen into a trick, and hurriedly wanted to collect his troops, but unexpectedly, a man and a horse flashed in the city, white clothes and white horses, thin figures, white veils covering their faces, and the figure seemed to be a woman! In her hand, a banner was held high, and the inscription "Annan Bai Family" was written.

Yang Zhong felt that he was dreaming, but what happened next told him that if this was a dream, it was also a beautiful dream. The city gate was opened, the fire at the head of the city was burning more and more, the defenders of the Lower Tang Dynasty were fighting with a group of unknown people, and the Lower Tang Wolf Banner on the head of the city was cut down one after another. It's really the Bai family who came to help! Yang Zhong immediately ordered the whole army to enter the city.

Fan Yu originally wanted to rely on the strong fortifications of Yinzhou City to resist the Guangyuan army, he didn't expect to be able to repel the enemy, what he wanted was to drag the Liang army, so that he could free his hands to concentrate on dealing with the Xuanjia army in the city, so the number of defenders deployed at the head of the city was not large, and after a night of fighting, more than half of them had been killed or wounded. Fan Yu pinched the right time, as long as the whole army pressed up, he would be able to break through the Xuanjia army in one fell swoop and capture the thief commander, and then return to the southern city to defend the city, which was a strategy to kill two birds with one stone. The strategy is indeed a superior strategy, and the time control is just right, the only thing that is wrong is that Fan Yu did not calculate that there would be reinforcements, and he did not expect that these reinforcements were all the civilian armed forces of the Bai family in Annan.

Originally, with the barrier of the tower of Ci'an Temple, the battlefield of Fan Yu and the south of the city were isolated, but after he ordered the tower to be blown up with gunpowder, the partition between the two places was opened with his own hands. Smart but mistaken by smart, Fan Yu watched the Guangyuan army rushing from the direction of the south of the city, and his heart was half cold, these troops under his command were more than enough to deal with the Xuanjia army that had been forced into a corner, but in the face of the addition of the Guangyuan army, the result was not to be said.

"Your Excellency?"

Faced with the adjutant general's request, Fan Yu scoffed. "You lead the army to block the attack, you must give me enough time, I must capture the prince of the Liang Dynasty!"

Without waiting for the Tang army to move, the west and north of Yinzhou City also lit up beacon smoke, the sound of people neighing and horses came from far and near, Fan Yu looked around in a panic to determine who the people were, and suddenly heard someone shouting "Reinforcements have arrived!" "There were a large number of Liang Dynasty troops on three sides, but there was only one gap in the north.

"Your Excellency!"

The lieutenant's tone became more anxious and urgent, and the situation on the battlefield changed abruptly, and the victory that was originally easy to achieve turned into a battle of life and death in the blink of an eye. With the addition of the Guangyuan Army, the dying Xuanjia Army regained its combat effectiveness, but the Lower Tang Army began to retreat. On the battlefield, people's hearts were extremely important, and when a very small part of the soldiers' psychological defenses collapsed, they began to flee and immediately spread like a plague throughout the army.

"My lord, if we don't leave, we will become prisoners of war!"

Fan Yu glared at the deputy general angrily, and wanted to scold but saw that the sand halberd department had retreated from the official residence, Fan Yu hated the root of his teeth, spit on it, and greeted Wei Chizong eighteen times in his heart, but at the same time found a way out for himself.

"My lord, the spies have come to report that there are enemy troops in the north, and if we don't leave, we will be rounded!"

Fan Yu was really unwilling, he was about to win, and he could even see the high-ranking official Houlu beckoning to him. The feather arrows shot into the Tang army from two directions, and the rout of the soldiers made Fan Yu have to face the reality, "If you are lucky this time, one day I will want you to pay it back!" Fan Yu turned his horse's head and ran towards the north of the city, and encountered the resistance of the Liang Dynasty army along the way, but the resistance was not great, he easily ran to the city gate, and after killing the Liang Dynasty soldiers who defended the city, he fled out of the city with the remnants.

With the retreat of the Lower Tang Army, the Han Dao guards who were struggling in the official residence breathed a sigh of relief, and Xuan Shaoning did not dare to put down the Jun Wu Sword with palpitations, always feeling that the retreat was a trap when the enemy had already occupied such an advantage; Duan Lang leaned against the railing, looking down with no strength, there were not many cold sword guards still standing, and he couldn't help but sigh that he had escaped; Also unable to support it was Shi Gong Zhengyuan, who had already missed the accuracy of the few arrows he shot, and even if an enemy rushed up at this moment, he was not sure if he would be able to draw the bow again; Ye Kai and Zhao Ke, who had scattered sideburns, couldn't care about their injuries, as long as King Yu was still alive by their side, they would be satisfied.

King Yu didn't have time to lament the impermanence of fate, he understood the Guangyuan army that rushed to the rescue behind him, but he was quite surprised by the other "reinforcements" that suddenly appeared in the city.

"General!" Yang Zhong hurriedly jumped off his horse and asked in an extremely concerned tone: "After receiving the signal, the subordinates attacked the city with all their might, I never thought that the battle in the city was so fierce, but it was too late for the subordinates!" "The Xuanjia Army was almost completely wiped out, which really surprised Yang Zhong.

"It's okay, your ability to lead the army to arrive in time is also the key to turning the tide of the battle."

"The subordinates don't dare to take credit, or the general is strategizing! Being able to arrange manpower in the city in advance as an internal response, subordinates admire! ”

"Guilty?" King Yu repeated the word, and Yang Zhong thought that his expression was not accurate enough, so he hurriedly explained: "It is the Bai family of Annan, they should open the city gate from the city, and their subordinates can lead the Guangyuan army to arrive in time." ”

"So the nameless army that appeared in the city at that time was the Bai family?"

"Exactly!" A loud female voice picked up King Yu's question, and the woman with a white body stepped forward and saluted: "The daughter of the Bai family in Annan, Bai Luoyao, see His Royal Highness King Yu and General Yang Zhong!" ”

"Get up, please!" King Yu looked at the young woman and asked, "Did you open the city gate?" ”

"It was a little woman!"

"And the reinforcements in the city are also you?"

"Reinforcements don't dare to be. The Bai family has a militia organization, but there are not many of them, and those movements in the city are just a bluff of a few dozen people. ”

"Wonderful! Being able to come up with such a scheme to force the enemy back under the illusion of a large army being overwhelmed, the Bai family has made an indispensable contribution this time! But how did you get into the city and make these deployments? ”

Bai Luoyao smiled slightly, and pointed behind King Yu, "Your Highness might as well ask him." ”

The disgraced Shi Gong Zhengyuan stepped forward and said, "General Hui, this matter is all due to the subordinates secretly contacting the Bai family. Baijia pharmacies are all over the country, and Yinzhou is naturally no exception, and his subordinates contacted his former classmate Luo Yao and learned that he not only had a pharmacy in Yinzhou but also had a secret passage leading to the outside of the city, so he agreed with him that once the Bai family entered the city, they would use the beacon fire as a signal. ”

"The reason why my Bai family dug out a secret passage in the pharmacy is all for business, after all, Yinzhou was occupied by the Tang Dynasty, in order to ensure the safety of goods and money, the Bai family spent several years digging a secret passage connecting the outside of the city, I never thought that today's battle would come in handy." Bai Luoyao then explained: "But the secret passage is narrow after all, and it can't allow the army to pass through at all, even if the Bai family's militia passes through one by one, it will take some time." My father knew that he was powerless to help in the war, so he sent me to lead all the men of the Bai family into the city through the secret passage to provide for emergencies. ”

"Your unforeseen need is simply a miracle!" King Yu exclaimed, "If you hadn't helped in time, I'm afraid that the outcome of today's battle would be different." ”

"But how can such important news not be known to the general?" Yang Zhong found that all the sycophants he had taken were given to the Bai family, and he was unwilling.

"It's because of me!"

When everyone heard this, they turned their heads and saw Xuan Shaoning, who was wounded all over his body and covered in blood. I thought I could hold back the restlessness in my heart, but when those starry eyes looked at me, the turbulence in my heart could no longer be controlled! It's been a year, but I feel that after a few years, she is still the same as she was at the beginning, but there is a faint tenacity between her eyebrows, and there were originally a thousand words, but all of them have turned into silence at this moment.

Like Xuan Shaoning, Bai Luoyao was in the same mood as seeing her old friend, her breath began to be disordered, and the calmness and calmness that she had exercised over the past year disappeared in an instant, and she wanted to call his name but these three words were stuck in her throat, only with a pair of eyes, she used the flow of light waves to convey the complexity of her heart.

"Luo Yao is my classmate, this time I came back to Annan, not far from the Bai family, and the last general wrote a letter to Luo Yao in private. The Bai family has always cherished their family and country, and when they heard that we were going to recover Yinzhou, they decided to do their part, but at that time, our army had already started and it was too late to inform the general, and all the fault was on the last general! After Xuan Shaoning finished speaking, he knelt down on his knees and pleaded with military law.

Shi Gong Zhengyuan knelt down without hesitation, and said simply, "Please punish the general together!" ”

"It happened suddenly, and it was an accident not to be informed. I have already said that if it weren't for the Bai family's help, the outcome of this battle would be unpredictable, but now although our army has won, it is only a tragic victory, and there are many things to come, I can't tell the heart to use military law! King Yu looked at Yang Zhong, and then said: "But if you reveal the military situation at will, you will still be fined both of you for a month!" ”

"Thank you, General!"

Except for Yang Zhong, who was slightly dissatisfied, the rest of the people were relieved.

"His Royal Highness King Yu, there are too many wounded soldiers in this battle, and it is not appropriate or too late to transfer, I have already arranged for the Bai Family Medicine Village to send all the pharmacists to come for treatment."

"Thank you so much!"

"Your Highness is polite, the Bai family, as the first pharmacist of the Liang Dynasty, must take due responsibility at this moment!"

"The Bai family has a woman like this, which is really the luck of the lintel!" King Yu couldn't stop praising Bai Luoyao, and then changed his words, "Don't talk much at this moment, General Yang is responsible for counting the casualties of the Guangyuan Army, where are Geng Yan, Tong Xin, and Zhan Ting?" ”

"The last general!" Geng Yan replied, but Shi Gong Zhengyuan and Xuan Shaoning looked at each other, and it was difficult to hide their grief, and in the end, it was Shi Gong Zhengyuan who spoke first, "Captain Zhandu was crushed under the rubble, although the last general rescued him, but he is still in a coma." ”

"General Huiyu........ Captain Tong died in battle........"

"Tong Xin........." King Yu repeated the name, and then calmly said, "Since this is the case, then the Rusty Chelate Guard and the Cold Sword Guard are in charge of the two of you, be sure to register every fallen soldier and find the corpse as much as possible, they can't return to Mobei, but we living people must give them a belonging!" ”

"The last general obeys!" When they shouted this sentence, the two of them shouted hoarsely, and only in this way could they live up to the sacrifice of the robe.

Bai Luoyao knew that this was not the time to gather to celebrate, and seeing Xuan Shaoning leaving, he gathered his mind and began to treat the wounded.

The news reached Dazhi City, and Chen Jiale immediately divided his troops to garrison Yinzhou City in his excitement, because this battle was really a tragic victory as King Yu said: the Han Dao Guard was almost wiped out except for the one left behind to hold the tiger's mouth, the Rusty Guard lost more than half of the tower in the collapse, the Golden Armor Guard could not have 1,000 people left in the end, and the 15,000 Xuanjia Army was finally less than 3,000 people; Although the Guangyuan army was better than the Xuanjia army, it also killed 10,000 people in the siege; Only the defenders of Annam suffered little losses, so the garrison of Yinzhou City could only be handed over to the defenders of Annam.

The moment when King Yu took off his helmet and stepped on the Yinzhou City Tower happened to be the time when the sun rose in the east, the fiery red morning sun poured infinite brilliance on this land, so that those bloody killings were left last night, it wanted to show its sunny and harmonious side in front of the world, the killing has never had anything to do with it, it belongs to the night, Chaoyang just wants people to see the positive side of life, but it doesn't know, the cycle of day and night, how can the painful memory be forgotten and forgotten.

"It's good to regain the lost ground....... "King Yu muttered to himself facing south, his words like a final summary of the battle.
