In the wee hours of the morning, the sky suddenly became cloudy, and a heavy rain was coming. The West Vietnamese army lined up step by step, Han Pingzi looked at the sky, and his face was also covered with clouds. Once the summer weather starts to rain heavily, this is even more unfavorable for the besieging side. What's more, the ladder to the city was burned, and Han Pingzi knew that today's battle situation would be extremely tragic.

Han Pingzi raised the order flag, and said with a stern gaze, "Pass the order, all battalions will attack the city according to the plan!" ”

As soon as the war drums sounded, several men and horses in the battle formation began to rush to their offensive and defensive positions according to the pre-plan.

On the city wall, Fang Jiye looked at the soldiers and horses walking around the city, his expression was extremely grim. He knew that at the beginning of Han Pingzi's attack, he would think of Lidu City to come to the rescue. Judging from the number of soldiers and horses dispatched today, Han Pingzi is going to fight to the death.

General Wei Du looked at Fang Jiye and said worriedly, "Fang Shuai, there are only five hundred people left on the left city wall, in case the other party attacks from there, our city defense will be useless." Why don't you mobilize another 20,000 horses to arm it? ”

Fang Jiye shook his head, "No need, there are 30,000 horses left in the city, once there is a change, it is not too late to pick it up." If the main force of the West Vietnamese army really wants to attack the city from there, this is the will of heaven and me, and the commander will bear all the consequences. ”

Wei Du nodded, "Okay, the last general will go to the right side of the city defense to ambush." Fang Shuai, you must take care of the city. ”

Fang Jiye hugged his fists, "The city defense on the right side will be handed over to General Wei." ”

"The last general commands!" Wei Du agreed, but he didn't dare to stay for a long time, and quickly ran to the right side of the city defense with his own soldiers.

As soon as Wei Du left, Fang Jiye called quartermaster Hu Binggao over, "How are things arranged?" ”

"Fang Shuai rest assured, according to your orders, the grain and grass have been transferred to the secret warehouse overnight. Unless the West Vietnamese soldiers and horses dig three feet into the ground, don't try to find these grains. Hu Binggao said in a tragic tone.

Fang Jiye was also helpless to do this, in case the city was broken, he believed that Han Pingzi was not bad enough to slaughter the city. To do so would be detrimental to his reputation. However, the grain and grass in the city, Fang Jiye must not be left to the Western Vietnamese army. Even if he dies in battle, he will leave it to them after Duan Lang comes back.

Hearing that the grain and grass had been transferred properly, Fang Jiye breathed a sigh of relief. Now the only thing he can't worry about is his daughter Fang Yan and the family members in the Shuai Mansion. Although he had already asked the mother and daughter to go to the capital city, the daughter was stubborn, and the sick lady was even more determined to be with him.

Fang Jiye was thinking about it, and the main gate began to attack. As in the previous two days, catapults bombarded indiscriminately, but they were all in the same area. Due to Shen Qishan's battle damage, the West City Gate was handed over to Feng Ming's command. And the back gate is the head of Zhao Jialiang.

Signals kept coming from the high tower flag, and Fang Jiye couldn't help frowning when he learned that the North City Gate was also attacking the city. Fortunately, the news from the Lingqi soldiers can still hold on there, and there is no need to use the reserve forces in the city.

Fang Yan nervously accompanied her father Fang Jiye, looking at Taqi from time to time. She was also worried that her father's misjudgment would lead to the defeat of the entire war.

There was a thunderclap in the sky, and it was pouring rain. Fang Jiye looked up at the sky, wishing that the rain would fall a little harder, which would be very beneficial to the defending side. And Han Pingzi, who was sitting in the car, was like frost, letting the rain wet his armor.

On the avenue leading to Landu City, Lu Mu also tried his best to keep a distance from Zhou Wu as much as possible. At this time, there were only two retinues left by his side, and Lu Mu knew that once he was caught up, they would not even have the strength to resist. No matter how tired he was, he gritted his teeth and persevered. The closer he was to the city of Landu, the better his chances of survival.

In the heavy rain, people on both sides chased after me. Zhou Wu was also surprised that this guy named Lu Mo had such stamina, it had been more than two days, and he hadn't been tired yet. Don't you know that Lu Mu also stimulated his potential in a hurry. If the journey had been extended for another day, I'm afraid he would have collapsed long ago.

Duan Lang's army did not stop, still riding in the mud. This rain may have been a good thing for Lan Ducheng, but it delayed the time of Duan Lang's army. He didn't meet Zhou Wu along the way, and Duan Lang didn't know if Zhou Wu had caught that Lu Mo.

In a narrow place thirty miles away from Landu City, Zhang Zhanchao, the general of Western Vietnam, cursed God, and still ordered the sickles and longbowmen to set up a battle formation in the heavy rain.

Lu Mu ran for his life in the mud, and almost missed his horse a few times. The pursuers behind were getting closer and closer, and Lu Mu's face was extremely pale. Just when Zhou Wu chased after him and there was still a stone's throw away, the entourage beside Lu Mu suddenly shouted.

"Master Strategist, look at it~ There is our army in front."

Lu Mu's spirits perked up, "Hurry~ Even if you are tired of the war horse~ you have to rush over." ”

Not only did Lu Mu see the West Vietnamese army, but Zhou Wu and others also saw the West Vietnamese guards lined up.

"Quick~Speed up~!" Zhou Wu whipped the war horse fiercely, although he knew that the war horse was exhausted, he still hoped to take down Lu Mo before the other party arrived.

It's a pity that Zhou Wu, who left more than an hour late, couldn't catch up with Lu Mu in the end. Although Zhou Wu and the others had superb riding skills, what Lu Mu and others rode were all carefully selected horses from the Western Yue army. Every time Zhou Wu and the others rested, they could let Lu Mu pull away a distance. After more than two days of chasing, it finally fell short. Zhou Wu reluctantly pulled the war horse, he knew that he couldn't chase it anymore. Otherwise, their horses will not be able to escape the killing of the other side.

Zhou Wu shook his horsewhip fiercely, and watched Lu Mu and the three of them rush into the West Vietnam battle array. As soon as Lu Mu entered the battle formation, he fell off his horse with a thud. Zhang Zhanchao was startled, and quickly dismounted and ran over.

The guards helped Lu Mu up, Lu Mu gasped, and said intermittently, "Zhang~General Zhang~Lidu City Army~ will be here soon." The hook and sickle hand is ambushed in front ~ long ~ longbow pressure formation ~ be sure to stop them from saving ~ rescue. After Lu Mu finished speaking, he tilted his head, and he was actually tired and degassed.

Zhang Zhanchao took a slap in his neck, "Quick, escort the military master back to the camp." ”

Zhang Zhanchao hurriedly arranged manpower to send the exhausted Lu Mu back to the Xiyue camp. This is Han Pingzi's explanation, and he doesn't dare to slack off.

Zhou Wu and the others saw that the other party did not kill, and less than three miles away, Zhou Wu and the others also rested and waited for the arrival of the army.

Outside the city of Landu, as soon as noon passed, just as Fang Jiye guessed, the Western Vietnamese army suddenly launched an offensive from the right side of the city defense. Hearing this news, Fang Jiye secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that he made the right bet on this battle. If it hadn't been arranged in advance, it would have been easy for the West Vietnamese army to open the gap in a hurry. After all, the distance between the side city defense is too long, which is not conducive to defense. What's more, in the original layout, the right side of the city defense was not equipped with rolling wood and thunder stones, and this item was added overnight last night, which can definitely give a heavy blow to the West Vietnamese army.

Fang Jiye was relieved, when he suddenly heard a standard commander shouting, "Oh no, the left section of the city wall is going to collapse." ”

"What!" Fang Jiye was shocked.

Feng Ming didn't say a word, and hurriedly ran over to check. After reading it, Feng Ming's face suddenly turned pale. Due to the heavy rain, the mud that had been poured overnight for the past two days began to drain. As the gap became larger and larger, coupled with the continuous smashing of the opponent's catapult, the nearly twenty-meter city wall was crumbling. When Fang Jiye and Fang Yan saw this scene, their bodies also trembled slightly.

"Quick, give the order, order all the reserve troops and horses to come at once. Even if the wall collapses, the gap must be plugged. Fang Jiye was furious and gave an order.

In less than twenty breaths, a boulder on the part of the city collapsed. As the boulders fall off, the rate of grouting loss intensifies. Originally, this kind of grout was mixed with clay weeds, and it was very strong. How could it be that these grouts ushered in heavy rain before they were dry, and the heavy rain, which was originally very beneficial to Landu City, turned into bad news for them.

On the opposite side of the city, Han Pingzi, who was pouring all over his body, suddenly saw the arrow stacks of the city wall in the opposite corner falling off, and stood up excitedly.

"Catapult, slam it at that section of the wall. God help me, God help me~! ”

Han Pingzi raised his hands excitedly, as long as he smashed a section of the city wall, Landu City could no longer stop their Xiyue army. He still has 100,000 reserve troops behind him, and he can completely rush into Landu City.

"Report to the commander, the military master has arrived."

With a report, Han Pingzi saw several war horses running over. One of them, a man with five big and three thick, was holding the unconscious Lu Mu in his arms.

Han Pingzi was taken aback, "What's wrong with the military advisor?" ”

"Back to the commander, the military master is just unconscious, and there is no big problem. General Zhang had already refused to defend thirty miles away, and told the marshal to ensure that the army of Lidu City could not cross. One of the guards replied.

"Good! In today's war, Landu City will no longer be the territory of Great Xia. Pass my order, change the feint attack to the main attack, and the reserve soldiers and horses will obey the order, and give me the battle into Landu City! ”

A pouring rain finally caused the broken walls to collapse. On the side of the wall of Landu City, a gap of more than ten zhang collapsed. The Western Vietnamese army swarmed like an ant tide.

On the side of Landu City, four thousand generals led the reserve army and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers and horses of the West Vietnam. Under the city gate, the Western Vietnamese infantry soldiers were still on the offensive, and the catapults also changed direction and began to smash towards the front of the city.

The earth was dyed red, and I don't know if it was rain or blood, and the armor of the Western Vietnamese army turned blood red in the mud, like a group of hellish demons.

Feng Ming was covered in blood, ran over and said, "Fang Shuai, you can't hold it, you have to evacuate." Stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood, as long as you are there, the flag of the western camp will not fall. This is handed over to me, and you hurry out from the north gate with your soldiers and horses. ”

Fang Jiye's face became unusually calm, he looked at his daughter Fang Yan and said, "Quick, go back to the Shuai Mansion, take your mother out of the back door, and join Duan Lang." ”

"Daddy~You~!" Fang Yan was shocked

"I can't leave, as the commander of Landu City, even if I die, I have to die with all the soldiers." Fang Jiye's eyes widened angrily.

"I'm not leaving!" Fang Yan's lips trembled and said.

Feng Ming was anxious, "Fang Shuai, you have to go!" ”

Fang Jiye looked at his daughter and nodded, "Okay!" I'll go. ”

Fang Jiye said, his body suddenly tilted, and Fang Yan was shocked and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him. Fang Jiye suddenly slashed his palm on the back of Fang Yan's neck, knocking Fang Yan unconscious.

Fang Jiye took out the commander tiger talisman, "Feng Ming listens to the order, this commander orders you to lead the soldiers and horses of the north city gate, and the soldiers and horses of the city defense on the right, and immediately kill out of the city gate to join Duan Lang's army." ”

"Fang Shuai ~ the last general ~ can't take orders." Feng Ming said with tears in his eyes.

Fang Jiye looked at Fang Yan in his arm, "Feng Ming, Yan'er and Madame, they need your protection. I'm begging you, do you still want the old man to kneel for you? ”

"Fang Shuai~ If you want to go, I'll stay." Feng Ming insisted.

Fang Jiye smiled bitterly, "As the commander of the Western Battalion, what kind of face do you let the old man have under this city wall." Go, this is the old man's last command. After Fang Jiye finished speaking, he forcibly handed the tiger talisman to Feng Ming.

Feng Ming choked up and couldn't speak, looking at Fang Jiye's resolute expression, Feng Ming nodded with tears in his eyes, "Fang Shuai~ Take care!" Feng Ming knelt down on one knee and gave Fang Jiye a heavy salute.

Fang Jiye saw that there were more and more people in the West and West in the gap, and knew that it would be too late if he didn't leave, so he urged Feng Ming to get off the city wall. On the tower flag, a signal was also sent to Wei Du on the right side of the city defense. Since the city can't be saved, Fang Jiye doesn't want to fight this army out, he wants to reserve some strength for Duan Lang and wait for future counterattacks.

Feng Ming put Fang Yan in a carriage and horses, and quickly ran towards the Shuai Mansion. When she learned that the city was not protected by Fang Jiye and wanted to defend the city wall, Mrs. Fang, who was sick, resolutely wanted to be with her husband. No matter how Feng Ming knelt down and persuaded her, Mrs. Fang glanced at her beloved daughter and ran towards the city with a tragic heart. Feng Ming didn't stop him, he could see Mrs. Fang's intentions. I know that if I forcibly block it, I am afraid that I will be heroic in front of me on the spot.

Fang Jiye held a war knife and personally led the army to stand in the gap and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. Everyone was howling and fighting, and Jiang Gan, the general of the West Vietnam, also rushed over. On the city wall, there were more and more soldiers and horses in the West Vietnam. When it comes to this, everyone understands that Landu City can't be saved. Many of the guards began to retreat, but more of them gave up hope of life and fought a decisive battle with the enemy with the heart of death. Several thousands of general managers protected Fang Jiye and fought hard, but for a while they were actually stuck in the gap.

On the city wall, Madame Fang stood on the edge of the gap with her seriously ill body, and many guards around her struggled to protect her.

"Husband~ You and I have lived in Landu City for twenty or thirty years, and today, even if the dust returns to the dust, the concubine body is with you."

Fang Jiye saw that his wife did not leave, but laughed a few times, and suddenly his body shook and he used a knife to pestle on the brick wall.

Fang Jiye was powerless to say anything, the past few days had exhausted his energy, and with the fight just now, he knew that his life had come to an end. Fang Jiye looked at Han Pingzi in the distance, in the face of this Great Xia rival, he was finally defeated.

A flash of lightning, mixed with a loud noise, was heroically damaged by Fang Jiye, the coach of the western part of Great Xia. At the same time, Mrs. Fang also jumped off the city wall and returned to reincarnation with her husband. The tall tower flag was cut down by the Western Vietnamese army, indicating that Landucheng, an important place in the western part of Great Xia, had completely become a place occupied by the Western Vietnamese army.
