Although he saw Zhao Pingdu's arrival from a distance, Peng Shanhua didn't hear Zhao Pingdu's shout, and deliberately commanded the herald in a loud voice.

"Order, the bow battalion will move forward twenty feet, and the infantry battalion will prepare to attack the city!"

The herald was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that Zhao Pingdu didn't let the siege of the city, didn't the lord hear it? The herald hesitated, but he didn't dare to disobey Peng Shanhua's order, and hurriedly raised the order flag for the messenger to blow the horn. After all, before the reinforcements were handed over, they were under Peng Shanhua's jurisdiction. Even if Zhao Ping is Fu Shuai, he has no right to control Peng Shanhua. Unless the Mokun military division, whose title is a head higher than Peng Shanhua, comes, he can only obey Peng Shanhua's orders.

As soon as the military order was issued, the bow battalion and infantry battalion began to move. When Zhao Pingdu saw it, he was immediately furious, turned around and waved his hand, "Come with me!" ”

Zhao Pingdu ran towards the main general's chariot with less than two hundred remaining guards, and the Qian general watched, and no one dared to stop him.

"Stop, General Peng, this commander orders you to stop the siege immediately." Zhao Pingdu shouted angrily.

Peng Shanhua raised his eyes, pretended to be quite surprised, and asked, "Isn't this General Zhao, why are you here?" ”

Zhao Pingdu endured his anger, "This marshal is ordered by the military master to take over the reinforcements in Nanping. General Peng, from now on, the army is under my command. ”

Peng Shanhua looked at Zhao Pingdu's angry appearance, and couldn't help sneering, "Take over? Even if you take over, there has to be a handover process. Besides, the lord of the country asked him to hand over the reinforcements to the Mo military division, but he didn't say that he would hand it over to you Zhao Pingdu. By the way, what's wrong with you, those who lost their armor one by one won't just lose the battle. Peng Shanhua looked at Zhao Pingdu condescendingly.

Zhao Pingdu gritted his teeth, faced this second ancestor, and said forcibly, "I met enemy soldiers on the lower road and was attacked by Duan Lang's troops. If I hadn't risked my life to break through, I'm afraid you'd make a big mistake. The herald immediately ordered the troops to be collected, and all the horses retreated five miles to the north to assemble. ”

Peng Shanhua patted the eaves of the car, "Bold, who gave you the right to command Lord Ben's soldiers and horses." Besides, our army is about to break through the city, and it will not be a failure to collect troops now. Zhao Pingdu, can you take this responsibility? ”

Zhao Pingdu glanced back at the head of Yixiang City, and snorted coldly, "General Peng, Ben Shuai thinks that you are a family of heroes, so he has always respected you, but it is child's play for the two armies to fight." It's not that Ben Shuai underestimates you, if you want to win the Elephant City with your ability, that's a fantasy. ”

"What do you say? Didn't you see that my army could break the city after one more round of attacks? Zhao Pingdu, you dare to bewitch the people in front of the two armies and promote the prestige of the enemy army, believe it or not, Lord Ben will punish your crimes! ”

Zhao Pingdu's eyes sharpened, "Peng Shanhua, I don't care about your words, but I must stop the siege immediately." Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

Zhao Pingdu held back the fire all the way, if it weren't for Peng Shanhua's hereditary title, he really wanted to kill him with a knife. But Zhao Pingdu knew that he couldn't do this, let alone him, even if he was a military advisor, Mokun, he didn't have the right to kill the hereditary lord.

Peng Shanhua sneered, and said in his heart that the more you stop it, the more porcelain this basin will buckle. When the time comes, he will play the lord of the country, and when he said that the city was about to be broken, he actually let Zhao Pingdu delay the fighter plane and lose the soldiers. With the Peng family's in-laws in China, Zhao Pingdu couldn't turn over if he wanted to. If Yang Fakui hadn't died, and he had come to take over the military power, Peng Shanhua would still be afraid of three points. is just a handsome, Peng Shanhua didn't look at it at all. Anyway, on the ground of Great Xia, except for Mo Kun, Peng Shanhua didn't take anyone to heart.

"Come on, give an order to attack, let our General Zhao see if we can take Yixiang City." Peng Shanhua said arrogantly.

"You dare!" Zhao Pingdu Canglang pulled out his war knife at once.

Peng Shanhua's face changed, "You dare to show your sword to this lord, and you are against you." Come on, take down Zhao Pingdu, who is bewitching the public. ”

After Peng Shanhua finished speaking, the pro-soldier team around him quickly showed their weapons and surrounded them. More than 100 people behind Zhao Pingdu also drew their weapons and glared at each other.

"Stop, stop me, what are you doing here?" Ying Shoushan saw it, and was so frightened that he hurriedly ran over and shouted.

After all, Zhao Pingdu was a decisive general, and when he saw this scene, he knew that he couldn't suppress the formation without being strong. If you don't seize the power of the army, not only will the great plan of the military division be ruined by this fool, but you will also be blamed for yourself. Zhao Ping has been fighting for half his life, how can this trick not be seen.

Zhao Pingdu thrust the war knife into the ground and took a few steps forward unhurriedly. Peng Shanhua thought that Zhao Pingdu was going to step forward to make amends, and looked proudly on the chariot. None of the pro-soldiers dared to make a move against Zhao Pingdu, and they retreated one after another. Zhao Pingdu came to the chariot, suddenly grabbed the chariot with one hand and jumped up, and suddenly came to Peng Shanhua.

"What are you going to do?" Peng Shanhua shouted in surprise.

Zhao Pingdu didn't say a word, and punched Peng Shanhua on the temple, knocking him unconscious.

"Quick~ protect Lord Baron." When the captain of the pro-soldiers saw it, he hurriedly shouted.

Bi Weide and other generals were also taken aback and rushed over one after another. Zhao Pingdu took out a seal and shouted at everyone.

"Stop it all for Lao Tzu, the boss is here, whoever dares to make a mistake, the military law will deal with it!"

Zhao Pingdu's people forced their soldiers to retreat one after another, rushed to the chariot, facing outwards with weapons in their hands and glaring at everyone.

Ying Shoushan looked at it and hurriedly shouted, "The commander ordered the seal here, and the general should guard the mountain and obey Zhao Shuai's orders." ”

Ying Shoushan waved his hand after speaking, and his soldiers and horses immediately surrounded him. Bi Weide and the others looked at it in amazement, losing Peng Shanhua, they didn't dare to fight against Zhao Pingdu. What's more, Ying Shoushan set an example, and many generals immediately expressed their positions.

Bi Weide looked at Peng Shanhua lying on the chariot, sighed secretly, and reluctantly stepped forward to express his position. In any case, when the internal strife comes, the lord of the country will deal with Zhao Pingdu, but now, they dare not disobey the commander's order.

Zhao Pingdu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered the army to march five miles north and regroup there. As for Peng Shanhua, since he was knocked unconscious, he simply ordered someone to tie him up, and even stuffed sackcloth on his mouth.

Above the head of the Elephant City, Deguang Sun Gang and others looked at this scene in shock one by one. Although they couldn't hear the conversation between the two sides, Zhao Pingdu saw very clearly that he hit Peng Shanhua. Deguangxin said that the Nanping army had committed some kind of epilepsy, and actually began to kill each other. But no matter what, the withdrawal of the Nanping army suddenly made the city and the city cheer.

Deguang was surrounded by everyone like the stars holding the moon, as if he had become a hero returning triumphantly, and for a while, Deguang's prestige in the city reached its peak. The people are easily satisfied, and as long as they can protect their homes, they will support whoever they are.

Zhao Pingdu took the army five miles away to reorganize the team, and after the inventory and reporting of each battalion, Zhao Pingdu almost killed Peng Shanhua in anger. Of the more than 200,000 reinforcements, there were less than 120,000 left. He really didn't know who gave Peng Shanhua such a bold shot, and he actually regarded himself as the main force. You must know that Mokun didn't let them take the route of Wuliang City, because he didn't want the reinforcements to encounter any resistance. is also 200,000 soldiers and horses, and when they are handed over to Mo Kun, they can be used wonderfully, but in the hands of a fool like Peng Shanhua, they can only be consumed. Whether in terms of strategic height or tactical application, the two people cannot be the same at all.

Zhao Pingdu gritted his teeth with hatred, but he really didn't dare to do anything to Peng Shanhua, so he could only keep this idiot and hand it over to Mo Kun to deal with. Zhao Pingdu didn't dare to stay, Zhou Long's army would soon arrive in the Luoxi Plain, and if they joined forces with Yixiang City, I am afraid they would suffer even more losses. Zhao Pingdu ignored the exhaustion of fleeing all the way, and immediately ordered to immediately move quickly in the direction of Jigangcheng.

Zhou Long was still a step late after all, and those scattered soldiers and horses were like free-range ducks, consuming too much of their time and energy. However, Zhou Long was not disappointed, as long as he could kill the enemy army, killing one would have one less opponent.

Zhou Long looked at the tall gate of Yixiang City from afar, and said to Hu Zhanchao and the others, "Brothers have been sleeping in the wild for so long, go to the city today to eat something good." ”

Hu Zhanchao and the others were stunned, and Qian Chong, who had always been cautious, hurriedly persuaded, "General Long, this matter must not be allowed." After all, Deguang is a member of the royal family, even if he is the emperor in Yixiang City, he is not a friend or foe with our Lidu City. Not to mention whether the other party can open the city gate, even if we are allowed to go in to rest, it will be troublesome if we are besieged by soldiers and horses. ”

"Lao Qian is right, the brothers are not afraid of hardship, everyone is from a poor background, what is this hardship. General Dragon, don't take any chances. Huo Deyang followed and persuaded.

Zhou Long looked at Huo Deyang and the others, "Brothers, going to the city to rest is just an excuse." A few days ago, Lu Mu Mokun sent his troops to Jigangcheng, which is the main road to Molan City and Gansheng City. If I'm not mistaken, these guys are going to start the rich cities of Hoho. Duan Shuai and the military advisor are still in Jingshan, no matter how fast they are, it may take half a month to even break the city and return to the belt. Relying on our 30,000 soldiers and horses, we are simply unable to contain the combined forces of Mokun and Lu Mu. If you want Jiang Zhuming and others to reduce their losses, you can only turn to the soldiers and horses here in Deguang. As long as they are willing to send troops, they may be able to hold back the Nanping and Western Vietnamese coalition forces and wait for the arrival of Duan Shuai's main force. ”

"General Long, the last general thinks it's unlikely. Whether it's Tokumitsu or Kyoto Toktoryu, they are all shrunken turtles who only know how to protect themselves. Give them eight guts, and I'm afraid they won't dare to go out of the city. Zhan Yimo said.

Zhou Long licked his dry lips, "There is no way, in order to save Molan City and other places from suffering some losses, I can only turn to them for help." Even if we only send 50,000 troops, plus our strength, we can at least contain one of them. ”

Hu Zhanchao said, "In this case, the general will accompany General Long on a trip, and the soldiers and horses must not enter the city." ”

Zhou Long thought for a while and looked at Qian Chong, "Old Qian, how many days is the dry food that the brothers have brought?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Qian Chong's face suddenly looked like he had eaten a bitter gourd, "General Long, the gold ingots brought with me on this trip are not much, and it is difficult for the surrounding counties to buy a large amount of grain. Originally, we were going to fight the idea of Nanping reinforcements, but I didn't expect them to run one step ahead of schedule. At present, it is estimated that there are only two days of raw grain left in everyone's horse bag. ”

Huo Deyang said indifferently, "What are you afraid of, we can all survive in the desert, God can't starve these brothers to death." When you encounter water and fish and hunt beasts in the mountains, it is not a big deal to last for ten days and a half months. ”

Zhou Long said negatively, "The brothers can bear it, but the war horse can't." This long-distance run showed physical exhaustion. It is not enough to eat hay and green fodder, but to supplement the horses with bean and wheat bran. The next battle relied on agility and raiding, the brothers could endure a little hardship, and the horses had to be well conditioned. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Long paused slightly, and then said, "Since you are worried, the soldiers and horses are resting three miles away. Hu Zhanchao, come with me into the city, at least let them produce some good horse food. After we entered the city, the army was handed over to Deyang for dispatch. Be careful to send out scouts and be careful about the security around you. ”

Huo Deyang hugged his fists, "General Long, if you don't leave the city for four hours, then we people will have to fight with Deguang endlessly." ”

Zhou Long nodded, "Don't worry, Deguang doesn't dare to do anything to me yet." Pay attention to safety, occupy the dynasty, let's go! ”

After Zhou Long finished speaking, he pulled the war horse and ran towards the city gate with Hu Zhan. Huo Deyang and the others watched Zhou Long, although everyone understood that Deguang might not dare to move Zhou Long at the moment, but if he wanted to send troops to relieve the siege, I am afraid that Deguang would not agree.

Just when Zhou Long went to Yixiang City to persuade Deguang, the army of Duanlang in Jingshan City also began to launch a fierce offensive. Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue received Zhou Bo's information, such an obvious marching route, they immediately judged Lu Mu and Mo Kun's intentions. But far water can't quench the thirst of the near, even if he immediately leads the troops to kill him, it is too late to stop Mokun Lu Mu's intentions. Tangtai Mingyue immediately informed Zhou Bo and ordered Jiang Zhuming and others to move immediately. It doesn't matter if the city is broken, as long as people, food, grass and property are not plundered, one day they can rebuild their homes.

Outside Jingshan City, Duan Lang personally pressed the formation, and the army began to attack wildly. These days, Duan Lang also admires Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun's defensive measures. Not only in terms of city wall reinforcement, but also can withstand the continuous ramming of catapults. Including the dispatch and rest of the soldiers and horses, it also withstood the endless exhaustion attack. This alone is enough to prove that the two of them are indeed worthy of being the former heads of the military department in terms of military affairs.

Duan Lang looked at the city head anxiously, turned sideways and asked, "Yue'er, you can't wait any longer, you must take Jingshan City as soon as possible." Otherwise, none of the cities in the southwest of Great Xia could be saved. ”

There was a hint of coldness in Mingyue's eyebrows, "If you want to be fast, it is estimated that you can break the city tonight." However, if you fight at night, the people of the city will inevitably be killed by mistake. Even, Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun may take advantage of the chaos to escape. If it is safe, according to the current ferocious offensive, it can be taken tomorrow morning. However, the losses are not small. ”

Duan Lang frowned tightly and was speechless for a long time. Tantai Mingyue persuaded, "Lang, about the Battle of Forte, sooner or later it can't be avoided. After all, relying on our soldiers and horses in the capital city alone, we are indeed powerless to resist the coalition forces of Mokun and Lu Mu. Delong and Deguang can't contain Mo Kun and Lu Mu behind closed doors, causing them to plunder unscrupulously. But don't worry, with Master Han Feng in Molan City, Jiang Zhuming and the others should not suffer much. I have asked Zhou Bo to tell them to retreat to the mountains and forests, and the city is difficult to defend, but it should be okay to choose the mountains and forests and hold on for a month or two. ”

Duan Lang shook his head and said, "There are less than five thousand troops left behind in Molan City, and even if there is support from the people, it won't last so long. Not to mention a month or two, I'm afraid it's hard for a day. ”

"I haven't been to the city of Melan, but there are always some steep peaks. As long as they hold the dangerous road, Mo Kun Lu Mu and their cars cannot be mounted or ridden, and they can only rely on infantry soldiers to attack. If a husband is a key player, Mo Kun and Lu Mu will never lose their men and horses on this. Mingyue insisted on her opinion.

"Yue'er, you must know that people die for money, birds die for food, and in order to plunder rich wealth, I think Mo Kun and Lu Mu will put heavy troops on it."

Lantai Mingyue looked at Duan Lang, who was slightly vicissitudes, and sighed, "Lang, do you really think they are for wealth?" I don't think so. Mo Kun and Lu Mu are both people who focus on the overall situation, and their purpose is probably for you. You must know that in the land of Great Xia today, the only thing that can make them both afraid is our force. ”

Duan Lang was stunned, "You mean, they deliberately attracted me to the past?" ”

"Yes, have you ever wondered why you didn't attack the weakened Delong and the newly established Deguang, but instead led a heavy army to plunder the cities of Forte. I think they don't want to lose their vitality and preserve their strength so that they can compete with our Lidu City. Once we are defeated, whether it is Kyoto or Elephant City, it is all meat that they can eat at any time. At that time, the whole of Great Xia will be theirs, so why plunder now. Therefore, as long as Jiang Zhuming and the others hold the dangerous place, and the five thousand dead soldiers hold the dangerous place, they will have to take at least 30,000 horses. This loss, Mo Kun and Lu Mu will not pay. What's more, there are countless civilians participating in the fight against the enemy, and Mo Kun and Lu Mu will not be stupid enough to exchange their elites with civilians. ”

After such an analysis by Yutai Mingyue, Duan Lang thought for a moment and nodded, "This is the best, then let them wait for Lao Tzu." When the time comes, see who can eat whom. ”

"Well, in that case, the siege plan should be carried out by Yasuhara. The losses of such a strong attack are huge, Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun are already at the end of the crossbow, there is no need to let the two half-dead old dogs bite back before they die. ”

Duan Lang thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then proceed according to the original plan." By the way, how did you arrange it over there? ”

"There is no arrangement, they are now an isolated group of wild wolves, and the more this happens, the more flexible Zhou Long can move. Perhaps, Zhou Long will surprise us. ”

Duan Lang let out a long sigh, "Zhou Long is more secure than Zhou Hu, I am very relieved when he is outside." However, after all, Zhou Long only has 30,000 horses, and I am afraid that he will go to solve the siege alone on impulse. Otherwise, you might as well remind me. ”

Tantai Mingyue pouted dissatisfiedly, if it weren't for the army, she really wanted to scold a few words coquettishly.

"Lang, don't forget that you only started with 30,000 people. At that time, you will dare to cross the desert and enter the enemy Forte. Why, now Zhou Long has taken away all your old foundation, are you afraid that he will spoil the old foundation, or are you worried that Zhou Long is not as good as you. Yutai Mingyue said softly.

Looking at the dissatisfied eyes of Tantai Mingyue, Duan Lang smiled bitterly, "He dares to ruin the old foundation, come back and see how I clean him up." Forget it, I'll listen to you and let this guy go and fight. ”

Duan Lang is not the kind of person who is arbitrary and domineering, he knows that Mingyue's reminder is right, sometimes there are too many arrangements, but it traps the hands and feet of the soldiers in front. After all, the war changes with all the time, and only by being at the forefront can you capture the best fighters. Just like when they crossed the desert to attack Wuliang City, the imagination made the other party even more confused.

Tantai Mingyue looked at the fierce battle of the city, since he couldn't rush over to relieve the siege, then make up his mind and completely solve Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun first. These two people provoked the anger of heaven and were unforgivable. What's more, if Jingshan City is taken, all the cities east of the entire Chengyang Mansion will be settled. At least half of the eastern part of the country can be temporarily brought under Duan Lang's command.

Jingshan City entered the final stage of fierce battle, and to Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue's surprise, the situation in the central part of the battle also changed dramatically. This time, Zhou Long did give Duan Lang a huge surprise, he actually persuaded Deguang to send a large army to relieve the siege of the cities in the central and western regions. Not only that, but under the persuasion of Wu Guangguang and others, Kyoto Delong finally raised the banner of resisting foreign invaders and sent troops to crusade against the Western Vietnamese coalition army in Nanping.

Mo Kun and Lu Mu teamed up to set a trap, originally waiting to trap Duan Lang, the tiger. Unexpectedly, the bait released attracted a group of wild wolves. Although this group of wild wolves did not enter the eyes of the two of them, they also made the seven points of the two of them angry.
