Inside and outside the capital, all the 50,000 troops were allocated war horses, which can be regarded as a luxurious lineup in the major camps of Great Xia. These people were assigned to various camps, and the veterans who had experienced the trials and tribulations of war all showed hideous smiles.

These soldiers in the capital have all undergone basic training, and Duan Lang made it very clear in his speech, that is, to give those veterans half a month to let these 50,000 soldiers and horses be reborn. No matter what method they used, Duan Lang only needed to see results. If the recruits are not convinced, Duan Lang allows them to fight bravely, and the winner can replace the veterans.

As soon as Duan Lang's trick came out, in less than a day, the entire camp suddenly cried wolf. Even so, no one stopped the veterans. According to Duan Lang's words, it is much better to be able to cry at this time than to die in wartime.

Above the city, Fang Yan looked into the distance worriedly, she was worried about the safety of Landu City. Having lost the Two Realms Mountain, Fang Yan knew that her father was bound to take it back. But Xiyue came prepared, and Fang Yan was also worried about her father's loss.

Duan Lang walked behind Fang Yan and asked softly, "What, are you still worried?" ”

"Lang, I always have a bad premonition, if it really can't work, I'll return to Landu City." Fang Yan looked up at Duan Lang's resolute face and said.

"Yeon, if you go back now, it won't relieve much pressure on your uncle. You're in Lidu City, and he'll be more relaxed. Looking at the overall situation, this war in the entire Great Xia will not end anytime soon. Therefore, the most important thing for us now is to accumulate strength. I have already asked Da Fei to deliver a message to my uncle, telling him to try to avoid a big battle in Lan Ducheng. Delaying time is very beneficial to Great Xia, once the 80,000 troops in our capital city have formed a strong combat effectiveness, this will definitely be a disaster for the Western Vietnamese army. Duan Lang said soothingly.

"Lang, I'm afraid that my father can calm down, and the West Vietnamese army will not wait like this." Fang Yan said worriedly.

Duan Lang smiled calmly, "Except for Landu City, the Western Vietnamese army has swept through other county capitals. Lan is guarded by 200,000 troops, and it is very difficult for Xiyue to gnaw this hard bone. They can't wait, the only thing they can do is to break through the weak defense line and attack our capital city. Come on, I'll wait for them. ”

"Han Pingzi knows that Lidu City is not easy to provoke, I am afraid that there is no certainty of victory, and he will not send troops to come. What's more, between Landu City and Lidu City, Xiao Zhanfeng's army was basically destroyed, and even if they broke through the defense line, they would not lose more than they gained. ”

"Well, the war must be rewarded, and this kind of thankless thing, Han Pingzi should not do. Otherwise, he would not be worthy of being called a famous general in the world by the first emperor. ”

As the two of them were talking, they heard Zhang Ruming's voice behind them, "What are you two talking about, let me listen to it too." ”

Fang Yan didn't reply, and rolled her eyes angrily. Fang Yanxin said that this guy is really ignorant, Duan Lang spent all day in the camp, and finally the two of them were able to talk alone, what are you involved in.

Duan Lang also asked a little bored, "Lao Zhang, you don't stay in the mansion, why are you here?" ”

"What are you doing there alone, that guy from Jianshan mixes with those carpenters every day, and you can't see anyone, of course Lao Tzu is here to comfort the brothers. Duan Lang, it won't be that I'm in the way, right? If you two whisper, you can't stand on the head of the city and say it, it's so boring. If you want me to say, you two just go to the Fuzhong Garden, where the scene should be. Zhang Ruming looked at Duan Lang with a dirty smile on his face.

Duan Lang smiled awkwardly, "No, Fang Yan and I are talking about the West Vietnam Army." ”

"Oh? I'll have to hear that. Zhang Ruming stretched out his head facelessly.

Fang Yan was angry, "Brother Duan said that there is no oil and water between Landu City and Lidu City, it just so happens that you have a lot of oil and water on your body, so I threw you over to lure the Xiyue army over." ”

Zhang Ruming said with a smile, "The little girl doesn't know how to be reserved, isn't she just thinking I'm in the way, okay, let's go." It's also oily and watery, if you want to say that the oily water is as big as the Seven Princes. Forget it, I don't stay here, I go shopping on the road. ”

After Zhang Ruming finished speaking, he turned around gorgeously and walked towards the city with his big head shaking.

"Wait!" Duan Lang suddenly shouted, "You just said ~ the Seventh Prince?" It's broken, someone is coming, and the order is to assemble the forward battalion and the left and right cavalry battalions. ”

Fang Yan was stunned, "Lang, what are you doing here?" ”

"Lao Zhang reminded me that the Seventh Prince was afraid that something would happen. His Majesty's decree has been announced to the world, and it is impossible for Xiyue not to know the news. We have a mixture of dragons and snakes in the capital city, and it is not easy to say whether there are any spies in Xiyue, in case the time of the trip of the Seventh Prince Delong is leaked, I am afraid that Han Pingzi~! ”

Fang Yan's face changed, "Yes, it's very likely." Let's go, go to the big camp. ”

After the two men finished speaking, they hurried to the city. Zhang Ruming didn't understand what was going on, so he hurriedly asked, "You two are waiting, what's the situation?" ”

Looking at the rapidly disappearing figures of the two people, Zhang Ruming scratched his head strangely, "What the hell did I remind me again?" ”

Duan Lang didn't have time to explain, so he could only leave Fang Yan to inform Li Jianshan and Zhang Ruming that he personally led 15,000 veterans and quickly rushed out of the capital city.

Opposite the Xiyue camp in Landu City, Han Pingzi has been waiting for news for the past few days. The distance from Lidu City to Landu City is not very far, even if it is slow, it will only take seven days. If you hurry up, you can get there in three days. According to Han Pingzi's estimate, even if the Seventh Prince delayed, he would almost arrive at the predetermined location.

"Someone, give the order to gather people." Han Pingzi gave an order, and a horn suddenly sounded in the camp.

In the opposite Landu City, Fang Jiye didn't know what was going on, and thought that Xiyue was going to take the initiative to attack the city, so he hurriedly ordered all battalions to prepare for battle. Landu City not only placed elite troops on the city, but also arranged counterforces on both sides outside the city to block the Western Vietnamese army.

Fang Jiye stood on top of the city and looked at the camp opposite, since the Xiyue army broke through the Liangjie Mountain, Fang Jiye has been defending. It's not that he didn't want to take the initiative to attack, but at that time, Duan Lang had not yet returned to the capital city, and Fang Jiye was afraid of taking the initiative to attack, and the Xiyue army took the opportunity to divide its troops and go straight to the Great Xia Fudi. Now Duan Lang led the army back and defeated the nearly 80,000 troops of Western Vietnam, which gave Fang Jiye confidence in his heart.

"General, it seems that the other party can't sit still." A general said eagerly, holding a war knife in his hand.

"Don't worry, the longer Han Pingzi waits, the more bad it will be for them. The news from Kyoto and the situation in the capital city are now being reorganized in the rear. If they don't take the initiative to attack, we'll just consume it. Once the reserve soldiers and horses followed, they slaughtered the Xiyue barbarians in one fell swoop in the Two Realms Mountain. ”

Fang Jiye's eyes were calm, he didn't care about temporary gains and losses. Since there was a war of this magnitude between the two countries, Fang Jiye knew the importance of retaining strength. The more he didn't move, the more Han Pingzi didn't dare to divide his troops. After all, the 200,000 soldiers and horses in the western battalion are not vegetarians, and in the case of unequal troops, it is difficult for Han Pingzi to say that he will not be driven out of the Two Realms Mountain by Fang Jiye.

In the camp of Xiyue, Han Pingzi looked at the battle flags arranged neatly on the opposite city wall and the two wings outside the city, looked at it, and immediately ordered.

"Zhang Zhanchao of the Left Route Army listens to orders."

"The last general!"

"This commander orders you to gather 50,000 soldiers and horses, use the sound of drums as a trumpet, attack the enemy's right flank defense area, and be sure to contain the main force of the opponent's right flank."

"The last will be ordered!"

"The middle route army Li Xuan listens to the order."

"The last general!"

"This commander ordered you to gather 40,000 elite cavalry, and when the left army held back the enemy, break through the defense line and go straight to the direction of Lidu City. After arriving at the location, you must not fight, and you must capture the prince of Great Xia alive for me. Remember, pigeons are released immediately after being caught alive! ”

"The last will be ordered."

"The others and others lined up outside the city with Ben Shuai. Only call for battle, and do not attack the city without an order. Violators of the order will be dealt with by military law. ”

"No!" The generals replied in unison.

Outside the city of Landu, the West Vietnamese army opened up a mighty formation. It seems that this is preparing for a big battle with Landu City. The generals of Landu City are also eager to try, and after defending for so many days, they are also a little anxious.

Han Pingzi rode on top of the war horse, looking at the sky from time to time. The sky was cloudless, not even a single bird could be seen.

Above the Landu City, Fang Jiye was also very strange, the other party had been in array for more than half an hour, but he was just screaming for no pain, and there was no sign of attacking the city at all. But Fang Jiye was very calm, no matter how you shouted, as long as you didn't take the initiative to attack, he would confront him like this.

Little by little, a full hour and a half passed, and a few flying pigeons appeared in the air. Han Pingzi glanced at it and said softly, "Order, drum!" ”

As soon as the war drums sounded, in the Western Vietnamese camp, the Left Route Army took the lead in killing out. But instead of killing at the city gate, they rushed to the defense line on the right side of the city.

Fang Jiye took a look, "Inform General Shen Qishan to block the enemy army, once the enemy army withdraws, there is no need to chase and kill." The two generals Feng Ming and Wei Du listened to the order, if all the main forces of Western Vietnam were pressed to the right flank, the two of you would immediately lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to support Shen Qishan. ”

"The last will be ordered." The two generals, Feng Ming and Wei Du, replied.

Fang Jiye continued, "Inform General Gong Zhanchun of the left wing to prepare for a big battle. If most of the enemy army is pressed to the right, Gong Zhanchun can go straight to the camp of the Chinese army in West Vietnam and kill the commander Han Pingzi. ”

Fang Jiye finished giving the order, and after a while, the banner soldiers on the tower of Landu City waved the battle flag and waved the flag to the defense line on both sides of the left and right flanks.

Fang Jiye is very experienced, and judging from the layout of the battle formation of the West Vietnamese army, it does not look like he is going to fight to the death. Moreover, Han Pingzi's mid-lane army has not moved, and if he really wants to eat his right flank, he will not send this little man. You must know that Fang Jiye deployed 80,000 troops from each wing of the two wings, and it was a defensive formation. If the other party really wants to eat it in one bite, even if it doubles the number of troops, it may not be able to swallow it, let alone the 40,000 soldiers and horses in Landu City can still respond left and right.

On the right side of Landu City, the two sides fought together. However, Shen Qishan, the main general of the right wing, did not press all the soldiers and horses, and still retained a certain degree of flexibility. At this moment, in the large camp of Western Vietnam, the cavalry team once again rushed out.

Shen Qishan saw it and hurriedly ordered, "Crossbowmen prepare, shoot from a distance of 100 meters." Infantry battalion, line of guns to block. ”

Ten breaths later, Shen Qishan found that the cavalry battle formation that the other party rushed out of was actually holding a shield and rushing towards the side of their camp. If it was half a month ago, the armaments on both wings of the capital city were arranged very widely. Since Duan Lang entered Lidu City, Fang Jiye ordered the defense to be contracted. The camps on both sides, each with a width of thirty zhang can be passed. Fang Jiye also deliberately left a way to live, so that a few people on the other side could cross. He did this because he wanted Duan Lang to eat up the soldiers and horses that rushed over bit by bit.

Above the city, Fang Jiye also saw this scene, and sneered disdainfully, "Hmph, 80,000 troops were killed and fled, this little bit of people and horses is simply going to die." Inform Shen Qishan, don't pay attention to it, just prevent them from copying it. ”

Han Pingzi saw that Fang Jiye didn't send soldiers and horses in the city to respond, and said in his heart that this Fang Jiye was really sophisticated. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to attack Landu City, but since the soldiers and horses in Fang Jiye City did not move, Han Pingzi had no choice but to wave his hand and order Zhang Zhanchao, the general who attacked the right flank, to withdraw.

Han Pingzi came to the front of the battle, looking at Fang Jiye above the city, Han Pingzi said loudly, "Fang Jiye, why don't you dare to go out of the city to fight with Ben Shuai?" ”

Fang Jiye stroked his beard and smiled contemptuously, "Han Pingzi, Ben Shuai has been waiting for a long time, but you didn't even give you a chance to attack the city, which also damaged Your Excellency's reputation too much." ”

"Fang Jiye, if my Xiyue army attacks your flank with all my might, do you think you can stop my army's footsteps?"

"You can give it a try, even if you can't stop it, the old man can guarantee to keep half of your troops. The rest of the centaurs, even if they break through the capital city, I am afraid there will be very few left. If you really want to keep the Western Vietnamese army in Great Xia, then just give it a try. ”

Han Pingzi smiled, "Okay, then let's wait and see." Come on, collect the troops! ”

Han Pingzi returned to the formation, and said in his heart, you just wait, when Li Xuan takes down Prince Delong, I will see if you are shrinking in the city, or send troops to the rescue.

On the official road leading from Lidu City to Landu City, the Seven Princes led 50,000 city defense soldiers and horses, advancing unhurriedly. These people knew that when they went to Landu City, they were at the forefront of the war. When they think of the brothers who were left behind by the capital city, they all think that they are really unlucky. It is much better to stay in the capital than to run to the forefront of the war. Don't you know that those brothers who stayed behind are crying wolves at this time, and life is better than death.

The Seventh Prince Delong opened the window of the car and looked at the sky, urging, "Inform the people in front of me, let me go quickly." You guys, don't think that this prince is good-tempered, just drag it out for me. Even if you drag on for half a month, you still don't want to enter Landu City. On this road, it is better to enter Landu City early, and everyone can repair it. ”

"Your Highness, in fact, everyone is not slow. It's just that there are too many of these burdens, and I can't get up fast if I want to. A thousand general said respectfully.

"I don't care, no matter how slow you are, you have to enter Landu City overnight tonight." After the seventh prince finished speaking, he closed the car window angrily.

The Qian Zong quietly gave a look, which meant to hurry up and say something, slightly speeding up.

Two hundred miles behind the Seventh Prince, Duan Lang's army had been rapidly attacking for a day and night. Seeing that some people couldn't hold on, Duan Lang ordered to rest for two hours. It's not just people who need to rest, it's mainly that the war horses are really tired. Fortunately, Da Fei returned halfway, and Duan Lang learned that there was no war in front of him, so he was a little relieved.

The team rested for two hours, and Duan Lang ordered to continue on the road. Duan Lang regretted a little, he shouldn't have let the Seventh Prince Delong take 50,000 city defenders with little combat power and go on the road alone. In any case, if the Seventh Prince Delong had an accident, it would not only hit the morale of the western army, but also make Duan Lang and Fang Jiye unable to explain to Emperor Yuning and the people of the world. After all, the Seventh Prince is also the titular generalissimo of the West.

On the official road, the team of the Seven Princes was dragging and moving. In the front of the procession, one of the generals suddenly stopped pulling his horse.

"Wait~!" Hyakhe raised his hand, and the entire team stopped advancing.

"Mr. Shao, why did you stop again, be careful that Your Highness cut off your head." The other said teasingly.

"Listen~ What is this sound?" Shao listened carefully, and he faintly heard the roar of the war horse stepping on the ground.

As soon as he said this, many people listened to it, and several soldiers with good ears heard this voice.

"Not good, there's a big army coming." Shao Jiang shouted in surprise.

The Seventh Prince saw the team stop, stood on top of the car, and said angrily, "Your Highness is not angry, you really think I am a bully." Whoever dares to delay the trip will be beaten with thirty military sticks. ”

As soon as the Seventh Prince finished speaking, he saw the man surnamed Shao rushing over on horseback, "Your Highness, it's not good, there seems to be a large army ahead." ”

"What?" The Seventh Prince was frightened, "Quick, send scouts to see if it's the people of Landu City, or ~!" The Seventh Prince was so frightened that he didn't dare to continue.

Mr. Qian, who led the team, immediately sent scouts to investigate, and in order to prevent accidents, Mr. Qian ordered a defensive formation. Don't look at these people who haven't experienced war, but they have received formal training. 50,000 horses, and there are also decent formations.

In less than thirty breaths, he saw the scouts sent out running back on horseback. As he ran, he shouted like crazy.

"Oh no~ it's the cavalry of Western Vietnam."

When Mr. Qian, who led the team, heard this, he quickly asked, "How many soldiers and horses are here?" ”

"I can't see clearly, it seems that ~ there are as many as 100,000 people."

This scout has not undergone professional training, and when he saw the cavalry under the pressure of the black, he was already frightened, so he simply reported a large number, and ran away if it didn't work.

The Seventh Prince's face was pale, and in the face of this kind of formation, he was not even as good as a soldier, and he didn't know how to deal with it at all.

The Qian general manager was also sweating on his forehead, looked at the Seventh Prince and said, "Your Highness, you evacuate quickly." If you can't stop it, you can only give up and evacuate. ”

What Mr. Qian said was very good, but everyone knew that most of them were infantry soldiers and horses, and they used to compare their speed with other cavalry.

Looking at the Seven Princes who had no master of the six gods, the leader of the team did not care whether he agreed or not, and hurriedly sent a small team of cavalry to protect the chariot and evacuate backwards. As soon as the Seventh Prince's side left, they saw the dust rising in front of them, and the Western Vietnamese army soon appeared in their sight.

"Don't be nervous, keep the baggage convoy in front. Remember, cut the rope and scatter the bounty on the pavement. Everyone listened, and fought with them. ”

Not to mention, this Qian always has some courage and strategy. Under his orders, 50,000 horses hurriedly pushed the baggage convoy to the front.

The Western Vietnamese army quickly killed them, and seeing that the soldiers and horses of Great Xia had set up their defenses, the West Vietnamese general Li Xuan rushed up with a spear in his hand and shouted.

The 50,000 soldiers and horses were only spurted by the West Vietnamese army, and they suddenly fled in all directions with screams. The people and horses of Xiyue were also a little confused, thinking that it was a bitter battle, but they didn't expect these people to flee around like ducks. Even some West Vietnamese soldiers saw the silver taels scattered on the ground, and hurriedly dismounted to grab them. This time, the whole battlefield was chaotic like a pot of porridge.

"Stop, stop for Lao Tzu! Within three breaths, whoever does not get on the horse will be dealt with by military law! The war general Li Xuanqi scolded loudly.

Under the strong order, the soldiers who were competing for the silver taels hurriedly got on their horses. Looking at the Great Xia soldiers fleeing in all directions, Li Xuan pointed forward, "Don't worry about them, chase me!" ”

Li Xuan knew his heavy responsibility, if he couldn't catch the prince of Great Xia, he might not be able to keep his head. But winning the prince of Great Xia is a great achievement.

The car of the Seven Princes, under the protection of a team of men and horses, quickly galloped in the direction of the capital city. Don't look at the speed at which they come, but the speed of their escape is not slow.

"Hurry~ they're catching up." One of the guards had already seen the figure of the Western Vietnamese army behind him, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly urged the horsemen on the chariot.

Li Xuan rushed to the front, and when he found that the car of the Seventh Prince was only protected by twenty or thirty people, he said that he could catch up with it in three sprints.

"Come on, release the carrier pigeon to inform the marshal, take down the prince of Daxia, and let the little ones bring enough silver taels on the way back."

As soon as Li Xuan said this, the soldiers behind him suddenly shouted excitedly.

A carrier pigeon was released, and in Li Xuan's eyes, the Seventh Prince Delong was in the bag at all. But at this moment, Li Xuan found that dust had also risen on the avenue in front of him. As a member of the West Vietnamese generals, Li Xuan immediately understood something.

"It's not good, there are rescuers on the other side ~ fast ~ speed up."

Not only Xiyue Li Xuan, but also the Seven Princes and these people also saw the dust in front of them. This time, they can be regarded as looking forward to a savior. For everyone knows that there is no one else in the army that comes from this side except the capital city.

"Your Highness ~ General Duan, they have arrived ~!"

When the Seventh Prince heard this, he hurriedly picked up the curtain. Looking at the dust and smoke billowing on the road in front of him, the Seven Princes almost shouted excitedly.

Nineteen war horses rushed to the front, Duan Lang held the Xuantie spear, and Xiang Tiangu Fan followed closely behind. Jin Rushi held the battle flag high and unfurled it in the wind, with a striking 'paragraph' written on it.

"Ge Li, protect the Seven Princes. Xiang Tiangu Fan, kill with me~! ”

Duan Lang took the eighteen guards and finally rushed to the side of the Seventh Prince. Li Xuan's face was hideous, and he was only less than a stone's throw slower than Duan Lang. However, the other party's army was still behind, and Li Xuan did not take Duan Lang's nineteen people in his eyes.

"Kill~!" Li Xuan shouted and rushed towards Duan Lang.
