After some visual inspection, Han Pingzi found that there were so many soldiers and horses in the capital city. Not to mention these arrays outside the city, just the city walls are crowded with people like a temple fair. What he didn't expect was that from the perspective of position, it was actually a woman who presided over these armies. Seeing this scene, Han Pingzi couldn't help but show a mocking smile.

"Hmph, women and children are in charge of the army, which is really the sorrow of the capital. Giving up the advantage of the city wall and going out of the city to fight is simply a tyrannical thing. Someone came, passed on the commander's military order, and ordered the forward battalion Zhang Zhanchao to lead the troops to fight. Jiang Quan was ordered to lead the heavy armor cavalry to suppress the formation, and Chen Gongbao Jiang was responsible for the protection of the left and right wings. In this battle, we must win the first prize. ”

Han Pingzi gave an order, and ordered the flag soldiers to wave the flag quickly. Jiang Quan and several other generals saw it and quickly led their troops into position. Zhang Zhanchao danced with a spear and came to the front of the battle.

"Lidu City child, this general Zhang Zhanchao, report the name, this will not kill the nameless ghost."

Zhou Hu shouted, "You kid listen to me, grandpa Zhou Hu, don't forget your master's name after you die." Brothers~ Kill! ”

Zhou Hu shook the spear gun in his hand, and rushed towards Zhang Zhanchao. Behind Zhou Hu, the vanguard army of Lidu City screamed and killed him.

Above the city, Zhang Ruming and the others were also excited, and Fang Yan was even more frowning, staring at the Western Vietnamese army nervously and angrily.

The bright moon of the platform raised the flag, "beat the war drums and cheer for the soldiers!" ”

Knock knock ~ The earth-shattering war drums sounded above the city. Han Pingzi also immediately ordered to suppress the war drums in the capital city with the drumbeat of the Vietnam war drums in the west.

Under the city gate, the two armies fought together, and in the formation of the two armies, the drummers smashed the drums with their bare arms. The soldiers and horses are fighting, and their drums are also fighting each other. The sound of drums and killing and shouting inside and outside the city gate shook the entire Lidu City. The Seventh Prince's throat and eyes were a little dry, and there was a slight flicker of panic in his eyes.

Mingyue's eyes were like torches, and she looked nervously at the battle outside the city. She has exhausted the elite men in the city, and if she loses on the battlefield, it will seriously damage the morale of all the soldiers. It is even said that the capital city will usher in a tragic siege battle.

Zhou Hu and Zhang Zhanchao didn't fight for a few rounds before they were rushed away by the army, and the two sides fought together, desperately harvesting each other's lives. Most of the Zhou Hu army are the city defense soldiers and horses brought by the Seven Princes and the soldiers and guards who retreated from Landu City, don't look at the old team of the capital city, but the fighting spirit of the soldiers is very strong. Especially the soldiers from Landu City, they have long held their breath, and they want everyone to know that the soldiers and horses of Landu City are not deserters from the defeated army. Only with the blood of the enemy can you prove yourself to everyone.

After the half-pillar incense, Yutai Mingyue's eyes lit up, but Han Pingzi showed a stunned expression. In the battle, the soldiers and horses of Lidu City obviously had an advantage, and even Zhang Zhanchao hung up his color.

Han Pingzi immediately ordered, "Pass the order, Jiang Quan will lead the heavy armor to attack." ”

Seeing the opponent's heavy armored cavalry dispatched, the Mingyue Lingqi of the Tai was raised, "Pass the order, General Cui Zhiliang, lead two hundred chariots to attack." ”

Yutai Mingyue did not send out all the five hundred chariots, since the other party used heavy armor horses, then he used chariots to collide. In particular, this kind of chariot was improved by Lu Mu, and its power has increased a lot. As long as you avoid the opponent's firearms battalion, this kind of chariot is still very easy to use.

Han Pingzi saw the chariot on the opposite side rushing over, and his eyes narrowed slightly. According to the normal fighting, soldier to soldier to general, the other party should send heavy cavalry, but I didn't expect Tangtai Mingyue to directly send a chariot to kill. You must know that in the melee between the two sides, although the chariot is powerful, it is easy to accidentally injure your own soldiers and horses.

Han Pingzi underestimated the cooperation between Zhou Hu and Cui Zhiliang, and when the horn of the chariot attack sounded, Zhou Hu immediately led the forward battalion to kill the right side with all his might, and left the left side for Cui Zhiliang's chariot battalion to let go. In this way, you can not only avoid accidentally injuring your own people, but also directly rush to kill the opponent's heavy armored battalion.

As soon as the battle changed, Mingyue suddenly took control of the initiative. The main force of the battlefield itself is the light cavalry, and the heavy armored cavalry is only more suitable for the infantry shield array and the bow and crossbow array. Han Pingzi sent a heavy armored cavalry, just to turn the tide of the battle. However, the other side sent chariots, and if the Western Vietnamese sent chariots again, those heavy armored cavalry would probably not be able to withdraw for a while. When the time comes, it will become a victim of the collision of the vehicles of both sides. Of course, Han Pingzi didn't want to see this result, so he immediately ordered.

"Order Chen Gongbao to lead the people and horses of the headquarters to ride heavily in armor."

When the war came to this, Tantai Mingyue knew that he had to deter the other party and let Han Pingzi withdraw his troops. Otherwise, if you continue to fight, it will inevitably lead to a big showdown. Yutai Mingyue knew that once that situation occurred, they would definitely lose. After all, the other party's more than 300,000 horses can come in handy, and the side of the capital city is just these elite façades outside the city. But Tantai Mingyue believes that Han Pingzi doesn't want a big showdown too early. Because they haven't figured out the true strength of Lidu City, not to mention that there is still Duan Lang's elusive elite behind Xiyue.

Tantai Mingyue looked left and right, the sound of war drums suddenly went out, and Tantai Mingyue ordered loudly.

"Passed on the order, ordered General Huang Zhi to lead all the heavy armored cavalry to advance one hundred and fifty steps, and ordered General Feng Ming to lead the crossbowmen of the infantry battalion to move forward a hundred steps and open the decisive battle. Ordered General Zhang Qifeng to immediately remove half of his troops from the city wall and pretend to go out of the city for a decisive battle! ”

After Tai Mingyue finished speaking, the commanding hand and the commanding standard-bearer issued different orders. Under the capital, Huang Zhi's heavy armored cavalry shook the earth and stepped forward. The infantry guards led by Feng Ming drank one step at a time, and more than 20,000 people shouted in unison, soaring into the sky.

Han Pingzi's face changed, especially when he saw the guards on the city wall, who were hurriedly running towards the city. Han Pingzi said in his heart that the dead girl who was in charge of the order on the other side was crazy, and this was just the game about to be a decisive battle? Could it be that Lidu City already has the capital to fight a decisive battle with them? Thinking of this, Han Pingzi, a famous general in the world, couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart. He felt that he and Lu Mudu had underestimated Lidu City, no wonder they dared to give up the advantage of defending the city and go out of the city to fight. Now that Lu Mu is not here, Han Pingzi can't figure out the details of the other party, if it is really a decisive battle, it is impossible to predict whether he wins or loses. What's more, even if one's own side has the advantage in the decisive battle, the other side can completely retreat back to the city. As a famous general in the world, Han Pingzi certainly will not fight an uncertain battle.

"Heralds, shields, guns, bows and crossbows. Sound the gong and collect the troops~! ”

In the camp of the West Vietnamese, as soon as the drums went out, I suddenly remembered the rapid sound of gongs. Hearing the sound of the gong to collect the troops, although Zhang Zhanchao was unwilling, the military order was like a mountain, so he had to take the lead in evacuating.

As soon as the West Vietnamese retreated, Zhou Hu and others immediately pressed up to chase and kill, and in less than a stone's throw away from the West Vietnamese battle array, the gong of collecting troops also sounded above the head of the capital city. For a time, hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside the city cheered loudly. In this battle, Lidu City can be said to have won a great victory. On the battlefield, at least more than 10,000 cavalry corpses were left behind, and no less than 10,000 were injured and retreated.

After a big battle, each side sent men to clean up the battlefield. Han Pingzi immediately ordered to retreat five miles and re-encamp. For the strength of the capital city, he has to make a new judgment.

The city of Lidu became a sea of cheers. Whether it was the guards of the battalion or the people in the city, it seemed that only the tearing cheers could express the excitement in their hearts. Especially those soldiers from Landu City, one by one, they raised their hands and burst into tears, they could finally raise their heads again. This victory has brought the fighting spirit of the capital city to an unprecedented height.

Fang Yan and Li Jianshan accompanied the Seventh Prince Delong to celebrate with the people in the city. And the bright moon of the platform is to convene all the generals to discuss in the camp.

In the tent of the city gate camp, looking at the excited expressions of all the soldiers, only Mingyue was very calm. even said that there was a slight sadness on his face. In this apparent victory, Mingyue knew that the actual loss of Lidu City was not small.

After counting, nearly 3,000 people were killed in battle, and nearly 8,000 people were injured and withdrew from the battle. If according to the normal head-to-head duel, the opponent has three times more battle damage, it is indeed a big victory. But Tantai Mingyue knew very well in his heart that even if it was a three-to-one battle loss rate, they couldn't afford to lose. Even if a battle loses thirty or forty thousand people, it is nothing to Han Pingzi. After all, war will be accompanied by death, and he can afford it. On the side of Lidu City, more than 12,000 elites withdrew from the battle sequence, which would have a serious impact on the layout of the Mingyue of the Rising Moon.

The generals chatted excitedly, and Zhang Ruming said happily when he saw that Mingyue didn't speak.

"Brother and sister, if you fight again tomorrow, Lord Ben will personally beat the drums and cheer for the soldiers."

Liu Xusheng also saw that Mingyue had something on his mind, and pressed his hand, "Everyone, be quiet for a while, and listen to our military master summarize it." ”

As soon as Liu Xusheng said, everyone suddenly fell silent. After this actual battle, everyone can be regarded as appreciating the decisiveness and strategic ability of Yutai Mingyue. As generals in the army, they are very convinced.

Tantai Mingyue looked at the generals and smiled, "Everyone, everyone has worked hard in today's battle. In particular, General Zhou Hu won the first merit. After Duan Lang returns, he will definitely celebrate General Zhou Hu's achievements. ”

Zhou Hu said with a smile, "Master Commander, we don't dare to take credit, there is also the credit of General Cui's chariot battalion." In addition, the formation of General Huang Zhi and Feng Ming is not small, and everyone has a share. ”

"General Zhou doesn't have to be too humble, meritorious deeds will be rewarded and punished, this big victory, our biggest gain is not how many West Vietnamese soldiers and horses we killed, but let everyone in our capital city ignite their fighting spirit. This is more important than any victory. ”

When Zhang Ruming heard this, he said unconvinced, "Brother and sister, when has our capital city been defeated, the fighting spirit has always been very high. ”

Yutai Mingyue smiled faintly, "Lord Shangguan is right, the soldiers and horses of Lidu City have indeed become a legend in Great Xia. However, that refers to the original 30,000 iron horsemen of the Lidu City. The current soldiers and horses in our capital city are not the heroic army that crossed the desert twice. Among them are the soldiers who failed in Landu City and turned to battle, as well as the city defense guards recruited from all over the country. It can be said that this battle is the first victory that these people really won by their own ability. So, deep down, it is more important than anything else to expel the shadow and fear of their defeat in the war. ”

Feng Ming said with emotion, "What the military master said is right, these people from Landu City all have depression and guilt in their hearts. Even in Landu City, we have been pressed and beaten by the West Vietnamese, and everyone is really afraid of them. Through this battle, it can be said that everyone has stood up again. ”

Liu Xusheng also nodded, the 50,000 city defense soldiers and horses brought by the Seventh Prince, although it was a few small fights with Duan Lang. But it was really the first time that they had won on their own.

"Master Strategist, how are we going to fight next?"

The veteran Wei Du puffed his chest and looked at Tai Mingyue, he was completely convinced of this young female military division. Every step of today's showdown was an eye-opener for the veteran. Even if Fang Jiye was reborn, they didn't dare to imagine taking the initiative to attack this aspect.

Tantai Mingyue looked at everyone, "Next, let's hang the battle card, and it can be delayed for a few days." When the other party is in a hurry, let's hit him again by surprise. All we have to do now is wait. ”

"What, don't fight?" Zhang Ruming asked strangely.

Tantai Mingyue sighed slightly, "It's not that you don't fight, but you can't fight like this anymore." We can't afford to spend it in the capital. Nearly half of Zhou Hu's forward battalion withdrew from the battle sequence and had to be reintegrated. The forward battalion and the left and right cavalry battalions are the main force of the battle, and the establishment must be full. As for how to fight next, we will not change to respond to all changes, and I will not move if the enemy does not move. In fact, today's battle is also very thrilling. Once Han Pingzi takes the risk of launching a decisive battle, the victory we have won will turn into a crushing defeat and retreat to the city. Fortunately, Lu Mu stayed in Landu City, otherwise he would probably see that we were just bluffing. ”

Zhang Ruming pouted, "You also think too highly of that kid, he dares to mess with Lao Tzu's wedding, and Lao Tzu hasn't settled this account with him yet." ”

The generals looked at each other, and they all felt that Tai Mingyue's analysis was reasonable. In fact, they also understand that if it weren't for the bluff that scared the other party away, it really mattered to win or lose.

Tantai Mingyue and others formulated an offensive and defensive plan, but Han Pingzi's side was drooping his head one by one, and Han Pingzi's face was even more pale. The loss of soldiers and horses is a trivial matter, and the key is that the intelligence collected before the war is not right at all. It is said that Duan Lang took away the elite of Lidu City, and the combat effectiveness in the city cannot be so strong. Today's showdown simply subverted Han Pingzi's perception of the capital city.

"Dashuai, the last general will ask for an order, and I will go to fight with that Zhou Hu Xiaoer tomorrow. If he does not win, the last general will be willing to be dealt with by military law. Zhang Zhanchao stepped forward aggrievedly and asked for an order.

Han Pingzi didn't blame Zhang Zhanchao, but sighed and said, "This defeat is all to blame for being too careless, and I don't blame you." The order went down, and the army was ready to fight, and no troops were sent for the time being. The military division and General Fei will arrive soon, even if it is a strong attack, it will have to wait until our infantry army arrives. ”

"Dashuai, the last general will not be convinced!" Zhang Zhanchao clenched his fists and said.

"Needless to say, it doesn't matter if you win or lose. Since you have come, there will be a time for you to fight. Han Pingzi forced everyone to retreat and not to fight.

In the next three days, Han Pingzi was also very strange, as soon as the capital city changed the publicity of that day, he actually reined in and waited for it. This time, Han Pingzi was a little confused about the intentions of the capital city.

Lu Mu left two days later than Han Pingzi, but he was five days late. After Lu Mu arrived, he learned that the two sides had experienced a big battle, and they had withdrawn their troops because of the victory of Lidu City. Lu Mu's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at Han Pingzi in disbelief. When Han Pingzi recounted the situation of the day in detail, Lu Mu was even more shocked in his heart.

Lu Mu couldn't help but praise, "What a lady Duan, she actually did the opposite. It seems that our opponent is not only Duan Lang, but also this Mrs. Duan. ”

"Lu Mu, is there a discrepancy in our pre-war analysis?" Han Pingzi asked.

"No, Han Shuai, you have been deceived. If the other party is really confident, he will never order the withdrawal of troops without forcing the attack under the situation of superiority. In addition, that Mrs. Duan gave up the advantage of the city wall and took the initiative to set up a formation, just to create a powerful illusion for us. Moreover, Zhang Zhanchao fought head-on with the other party, and they won the victory with the advantage of the chariot, which shows that the combat power is not very strong. If it was Duan Lang's troops and horses, I believe that Zhang Zhanchao would not last more than half a pillar of incense. Han Shuai, tomorrow the catapult will be discharged to the city ladder, real gold is not afraid of fire, try it and know the heat. ”

Han Pingzi was stunned, "Then ~ what if Duan Lang is killed from behind?" ”

"Han Shuai, don't worry, I have ordered Fei Dezheng to lay a trap thirty miles away. Even if Duan Lang can rush out with the centaurs, there will be not much left. ”

"Good! Now that the military division has done a good job of defending the back, let's try the real confidence of the capital city. Only when he hurt Lidu City would Duan Lang take the initiative to take the bait. If he doesn't come, Ben Shuai will take this small capital city. ”

Han Pingzi stood up, and the loss of nearly 20,000 horses was also a piece of meat for him. This debt, he wants to make the capital city double it back.
