Detailing the clouds and covering the moon, once upon a time, the prosperous Landu City carved beams and painted buildings flying eaves and red windows. Even at night, it is a booze of red lights and willows. Looking at the present day, the ruined walls in the city are gloomy and lifeless. The huge city has only 10,000 horses, which is still divided into two ends. After nightfall, the timid guards did not dare to wander the city alone.

On a section of the city wall not far from the city gate, Duan Lang took Xiang Tian and the others into the city like a phantom. This time, Duan Lang was very cautious and ordered Xiang Tian and the others to search all the surroundings of the city gate. After a while, Dao figures gathered around Duan Lang.

"Report to your lordship, no one has been found within two miles of the city gate."

"My lord, all the houses on the right side are empty."

"My handsome, in the camp at the city gate on the left, there are only one camp with people, and there are about three or four thousand people."

Listening to Gu Fan and the others reporting one after another, Duan Lang was completely relieved this time. It seems that as he judged, Lu Mu had already left Landu City. Here, it has almost become an empty city. As long as the gates of the city are opened, no one can stop their iron horses.

"Xiangtian, you follow me to kill the four guards on duty in the city gate cave. Gu Fan, you and the others hold the flanks, and block any enemies who come to the rescue before opening the city gates. ”

"No!" Gu Fan agreed, turned around and made a gesture, dividing Jin Rushi, Liu Xi and the others into two groups.

With the help of the darkness of the night, Duan Lang and Xiang Tian quickly touched the city gate. The four guards guarding the gate of the city, one on the left and one on the right, leaned together and dozed off. Duan Lang flashed over, and the war knife in his hand slashed twice, slashing through the opponent's throat. And Xiang Tian was even more simply, the long knife in his hand slashed horizontally, and the two heads were separated from the body.

Duan Lang quickly came to the city gate and pulled up the bolt with Xiang Tian. When the heavy gate creaked, the guards on duty in the city noticed that something was wrong. But all this, nothing is too late. Gu Fan and the others formed a sword formation, and these guards could not enter the city gate cave at all. When a piercing shout of killing sounded outside the city, a thousand generals who had just rushed out of the city gate camp hurriedly blew the piercing horn.

Five thousand paces of soldiers and horses were not enough for Zhou Long and these people to kill, and after thirty breaths of work, the soldiers and horses left behind at the city gate fled in all directions.

"Zhou Wu, with wounded soldiers and 5,000 soldiers and horses, stayed here. Others, etc., come with me. Duan Lang gave an order, rode a war horse and killed it in the direction of the city gate in front.

In the camp of the West City Gate, Zhang Zongfeng, who was sleeping, heard the horn of warning and got up in horror. In the dead of night, the howl of Duan Lang's 30,000-strong army shook the entire Landu City. The West Vietnamese guards looked at Zhang Zongfeng in horror, and many of them were trembling.

"Quick, open the city gate ~ retreat!" Zhang Zongfeng knew that as long as Duan Lang entered the city, they were no match for others at all. Instead of waiting to be slaughtered, it is better to flee to the Two Realms Mountain first.

Zhang Zongfeng finally made a conscious choice, and took 5,000 men and horses to take advantage of the night and quickly fled from Landu City. After Duan Lang and the others arrived, the city gate was already empty.

The brothers of Lidu City howled excitedly, no one expected that they would take Landu City so easily. Although the Landu City was an empty city at this time, it was the symbol of the western camp of Great Xia and the holy place in the hearts of the soldiers of the entire western region. Moreover, in terms of strategic location, Landu City has an indispensable position.

Duan Lang looked at the excited brothers and ordered in a loud voice, "Xiangtian, take 10,000 brothers in the city, and continue to pursue those fleeing West Vietnamese guards." Tell them, those who surrender, that Ben Shuai can exile them from the city. Resisting, killing. ”

"No!" Xiang Tian agreed, led 10,000 elite cavalry, and began to search the whole city.

Everyone was very excited and not sleepy, until the sky brightened, and Xiang Tian and the others really escorted a thousand fugitive guards to the city gate camp. After interrogation, Duan Lang learned the details of the situation in the city. Duan Lang did not break his promise, and after getting the information he wanted, he exiled them all from the city.

According to the interrogation materials and the number of guards who entered the city and killed, Duan Lang knew that there should be more than 300 people hiding in the city. However, after careful inspection, it was found that there was a section of the city wall with ropes hanging down. These guards should have fled from the city wall at night. Even if they were still hiding, the three hundred or so people couldn't make any waves for Duan Lang.

Duan Lang quickly asked Da Fei to pass on the news to Lidu City, and he believed that the recovery of Landu City would be an encouragement to everyone. Duan Lang hit the horse and came to the former Shuaifu, where everything has not changed, and even a seal has been affixed to protect it. It seems that Lu Mu wanted to occupy this place for a long time and did not destroy the buildings of the Shuai Mansion.

The once glorious and majestic Marshal Mansion of Landu City has become a matter of things. Looking at the carved eaves of the house, Duan Lang couldn't help but think of the bits and pieces of getting along with Fang Jiye.

Duan Lang sighed lightly, "If it weren't for the invasion of my Great Xia by the Western Yue army, I'm afraid I would have already married Fang Yan at this time." ”

Duan Lang said and hugged his fist at Shuai Fu, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are above, and my son-in-law Duan Lang couldn't rescue him that day, and I hope that my father-in-law will not blame him for being in the spirit of heaven." He will wait for me to drive the Xiyue thieves out of the Two Realms Mountain, and he will definitely marry Fang Yan ceremoniously. Please ask the second elder to be in the spirit of heaven, bless my Daxia Erlang, and expel the Xiyue barbarians as soon as possible. After Duan Lang finished speaking, he bowed solemnly.

After a morning of counting and searching, the West Vietnamese fled, leaving behind a lot of food, grass and weapons. With this grain and grass, there is no need to open the mezzanine of the city wall for the time being. After discussion, Duan Lang decided to let Zhou Wu lead 10,000 soldiers and wounded soldiers to stay in Landu City temporarily. Duan Lang also warned Zhou Wu that once the Two Realms Mountain led troops to attack, it would depend on the situation.

After the arrangements were made, Duan Lang was not in a hurry to return to Lidu City. After everyone stayed in the wild for so long, Duan Lang ordered people to boil hot water and relax. The slain horses in the city gate were also disemboweled, and became a delicious meal for everyone.

In the capital, the Western Vietnamese army has been attacking for several days. Tantai Mingyue still sent the new army battalion to resist, as long as the other party did not change the siege plan, she was ready to let the new army battalion take turns to practice. However, after a few days of siege, the new army battalion suffered heavy casualties, and 40,000 horses and horses had withdrawn from the battle sequence. The Western Vietnamese Army, on the other hand, suffered almost the same losses. This is a great achievement for the besieging side.

In the inner house of the capital city mansion, Fang Yan was ready to go to the city gate to cheer for the soldiers as in the past. Before Fang Yan could walk out of the inner house, there was a cry in the air, and Dafei spread her wings and flew down.

"Big Fly~!" Fang Yan happily ran over and affectionately stroked the big flying and smooth feathers a few times.

In addition to Duan Lang, Da Fei and Fang Yan are the most familiar, so every time he returns to Lidu City, Da Fei likes to find Fang Yan as his goal.

"Da Fei, what good news has it for me, that stinky boy is okay." Fang Yan said, untying the bamboo tube from the big flying leg.

When Fang Yan finished reading the letter in the bamboo tube, she covered her mouth in disbelief. Fang Yan's eyes were red, tears were rolling in her eyes, and she cried excitedly.

In the inner house, Zhang Ruming, who had just been dressed, heard the cry and hurriedly ran out. Behind Zhang Ruming, Azhu followed closely.

"What's going on? Brother and sister, what's the matter? Zhang Ruming looked at Da Fei and asked in surprise.

"Duan Lang ~ he ~ him ~."

Without waiting for Fang Yan to finish speaking, Zhang Ruming's face changed, and he jumped up screaming, "Ah~!" Duan Lang is dead? Paralyzed, come to someone, kill out of the city gate, Lao Tzu wants to avenge the Duan Lang brothers~! ”

Li Jianshan, who had just walked into the inner house when he heard the cry, heard Zhang Ruming's shout like killing a pig, and suddenly his legs weakened, and he fell on his heels.

"What's going on? Duan Lang he~? Li Jianshan asked in a frightened voice.

Zhang Ruming's eyes were about to pop out, "Paralyzed, don't care, gather the troops of the whole city, and kill out of the city gate to avenge my brother~!" Lao Tzu wants to go into battle, and Lao Tzu wants to personally kill a few bastards~! ”

Ah Zhu's body trembled, as if he had been hit hard, and he couldn't speak. Li Jianshan's face turned pale in an instant, Duan Lang was already the soul of Lidu City, once Duan Lang died in battle, as Zhang Ruming said, I am afraid that no one would be able to suppress the anger of the generals.

Fang Yan covered her mouth and froze suddenly, seeing Zhang Ruming running out with her fists clenched, Fang Yan reacted.

"You~ dead fat man, you stop me, who said that Duan Lang is dead. Bah, bah ~ My Duan Lang is fine. ”

Zhang Ruming, who was rushing out in anger, suddenly stopped. Li Jianshan was completely stunned, one said death and the other said okay, what the hell is going on.

"I said brother and sister, Duan Lang ~ didn't die?" Zhang Ruming looked at Fang Yan strangely.

"Phew, curse my father-in-law again, don't blame me for being unkind." Fang Yan said angrily.

"It's not~ Then didn't you just say ~ Duan Lang he ~ him~ What the hell is going on?" Zhang Ruming learned from Fang Yan's appearance just now.

Li Jianshan also asked anxiously, "I said you two, don't scare me, okay." Tell me, what's going on? ”

"I~ I'm happy." Fang Yan said excitedly.

"Happy?" Zhang Ruming scratched his head, "Jianshan, am I still dreaming?" The law of Great Xia, when does it stipulate that if you are happy, you have to cry vigorously? ”

"You~ see for yourself." Fang Yan excitedly handed over Duan Lang's letter.

Zhang Ruming took it, Li Jianshan hurriedly stretched out his head, and even Azhu couldn't help but run over. After reading it, the three of them showed shocked eyes one by one.

Zhang Ruming's small fist slammed and shouted excitedly, "Heavenly gods, I have to praise you today." Landu City~ My brother actually took Landu City! Haha~ Let's go, go to the city and tell Mingyue about them. ”

Li Jianshan also smashed his mouth and muttered, "Incredible, it's incredible." The Landu City, which was conquered by the Western Vietnamese army with great effort, was actually taken back by Duan Lang. Someone is coming~ firing a cannon~ I want to inform the whole city. ”

After Li Jianshan finished speaking, he ran towards the north courtyard of the Seventh Prince Delong. This is a major feat, and he must report to the court in the name of Delong.

In the Shuai Tai above the city gate, the generals in public heard the news that Landu City had been recaptured by Duan Lang, and immediately burst into excited shouts. Feng Ming, Wei Du and the other generals of Landu City wept excitedly like Fang Yan. They even thought that they would never see this day in their lifetime. After all, Feng Ming and the others knew that if they wanted to take Landu City, they would not be able to attack it without hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers and horses.

Tantai Mingyue was also very excited, and her hand holding the letter trembled a little, "Great, God helps me." When people come, they announce the camps and beat drums to celebrate. ”

In the Lidu City, the drums shook the sky and salutes were fired, and the West Vietnamese guards who were besieging the city did not know what was happening, and thought that the Landu City was going to launch a counterattack. Han Pingzi and Lu Mu heard the movement in the city, and their eyes widened strangely. This is not a drum of cheering, but a celebratory joy. The two sides were engaged in an offensive and defensive battle, and they did not understand what the capital had to celebrate.

Han Pingzi didn't know what had changed, and he thought that Kyoto had sent reinforcements again. Without waiting for Lu Mu to speak, Han Pingzi hurriedly ordered the troops to be collected, and ordered the guards to set up a strict array to resist horses.

"Lu Mu, it can't be that Kyoto really sent reinforcements, right?" Han Pingzi asked suspiciously.

"Probably not, according to the news our spies have gotten, Great Xia has no troops to send. Unless~ the war on the Xining side is over. Lu Mu said.

Han Pingzi's heart was shocked, "Could it be that Mo Kun was defeated?" ”

"Han Shuai doesn't have to be suspicious, perhaps, it's that girl who is suspicious. I immediately ordered the post camp to release the pigeons and ask the lord for news of Xining. If Xining is really broken, it seems that we will have to withdraw to Landu City and refuse to defend it. When the time comes, the auxiliary city walls will be repaired on both sides, the road will be completely blocked, and Duan Lang will be completely trapped to the west of Landu City. ”

"The sooner this happens, the better."

Han Pingzi was a little uneasy in his heart, if Great Xia recovered Xining, then they would not be able to resist the entire army of Great Xia.

In the capital city, all the people rejoiced, especially the displaced people from Landu City and the soldiers who retreated, crying and laughing as if they were crazy. Landu City is too important in their hearts, there is not only their homeland, but also their ancestral land. The return of Landu City made these people and soldiers of Landu City worship Duan Lang like a god.

In the handsome tent, Yutai Mingyue pondered alone. Now that Duan Lang has taken Landu City, the way this battle is fought is different. After careful consideration, Tantai Mingyue picked up her pen and replied to Duan Lang with a handwritten letter. It can also be said that this is the military order she gave to Duan Lang. Mingyue was afraid that Duan Lang would not agree, so she deliberately wrote the name of the Western Generalissimo Delong. That means that this is an official military order, so that Duan Lang must carry it out. Whether or not the Xiyue army can be defeated in one fell swoop depends not only on the favorable time, place and people, but also on the seamless cooperation between Duan Lang and Lidu City.

Watching Dafei flutter his wings into the sky, the bright moon prayed silently. Her bold and risky plan hoped to be approved by Duan Lang.
