In the capital city, the Western Vietnamese army was unstoppable all the way. All the Western Vietnamese soldiers howled one by one, and murderous aura boiled in their veins. Liu Xusheng led a camouflaged camp, defending and retreating, until the opponent's main battle cavalry was attracted into the ambush circle, and then Liu Xusheng ordered his men to 'flee' in all directions.

Under the tower, Zhang Ruming and Li Jianshan watched Zhang Qifeng, who was covered in blood, lead his troops to retreat, and Zhang Ruming hurriedly asked.

"Qifeng, how is it, you are not seriously injured, are you?"

"Thank you, Lord Shangguan, this is all the blood of the enemy, and the end will be fine." Zhang Qifeng gasped.

Li Jianshan also said with admiration, "General Zhang worked hard, after this battle, the new army battalion made the first contribution." ”

Zhang Qifeng didn't care about chatting with them, and hurriedly ordered the retreating new army guards to defend tightly around the tower. The other battalions were fighting in the city, and the task of their new battalion was to protect the last line of defense after retreating.

On the high tower, Mingyue listened to the shouts and killings in the city, and her heart was also quite nervous. This battle is extremely risky, and if there is a mistake, not only will the capital city be lost, but even the people outside the city will not be able to escape the slaughter of the army.

In the front city gate, as soon as the Xiyue generals entered the city, they immediately divided their troops and began to pursue and kill in the city. The main point of the siege battle is not only to seize the city gates, but also to take advantage of the victory to pursue the siege, so as not to leave a respite for the enemy army. Only in this way can the other party completely lose its will to fight and collapse. But this time, they were killed by the siege soldiers. If you temporarily stabilize your position in the city gate after entering the city and advance step by step, it will be a great disaster for the capital city. Zhang Zhanchao, Chen Gongbao and other Western Vietnamese generals rushed forward in order to seize the merits, and they just fell into the trap of Mingyue in Tai.

On the main road in the city, Zhang Zhanchao, who was chasing and killing Liu Xu in the east, couldn't help but be happy when he saw the soldiers and horses of Lidu City fleeing in all directions.

"Sons, ignore these rat soldiers and go straight to the back gate. As long as the back gate is captured, our camp will be the first achievement. Sons, kill me! Zhang Zhanchao shouted excitedly.

The guards under Zhang Zhanchao's hands hissed and shouted one by one, and rushed forward desperately. For these ordinary guards, after capturing the city, the most important thing is to capture the battle merits. According to the rules of war, whoever arrives first has the greatest credit. And the spoils afterwards, the main battle soldiers and horses will also share the most.

Just as the soldiers and horses were rushing forward, suddenly, there were flap pits on the ground of the main road. There were sharp wooden stakes inserted in the pit, and the West Vietnamese soldiers and horses suddenly turned on their backs and screamed miserably. Even Zhang Zhanchao's war horse was trapped, but fortunately, three war horses in front of him had already sunk in, so he was not injured by the sharp stake.

"Everyone, be careful, stop moving."

Zhang Zhanchao shouted and quickly climbed out. If you slow down, you will be stepped on by the war horse behind. However, the shouts of the crowd were too loud, and his voice was drowned out in the shouts of killing. What's more, the soldiers and horses in front were trapped, and under the cover of night, they didn't know what was going on, and they still rushed forward to kill.

On the main road, there was a mess all of a sudden, and hundreds of people were trampled to death by their own people. Zhang Zhanchao had no choice but to take a war horse and was about to order a retreat. I saw rows of arrows swishing from the rooftops and walls on both sides of the road. There are also dozens of thick and hollow wooden stakes, which spray pine oil under the squeezing. Zhang Zhanchao smelled the smell of pine oil on his body, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Whoosh~ Several arrows with flames shot out. The Western Vietnamese guards, who were crowded together with men and horses, did not even have a place to hide. On the main road, which is nearly 300 feet, it suddenly turned into a sea of fire. In the alleys on both sides of the main road, horses were also erected to block the way for the West Vietnamese soldiers and horses to escape into the alleys.

Zhang Zhanchao was furious, shouting and rushing to the side. As soon as Zhang Zhanchao rushed to the wall, several spears suddenly stretched out from the wall. Zhang Zhanchao, a dignified general of the West Vietnam, became the first West Vietnam general to be killed after entering the city.

On the other side, Chen Gongbao led the men and horses of the headquarters to chase and kill all the way along the city wall on the south side of the city. At the predetermined location, they met the same fate.

The entire Lidu City became a hunting ground, and after Han Pingzi and Lu Mu entered the city, they only listened to the sound of killing, and they didn't know what was happening. Han Pingzi thought that the generals had encountered strong resistance in the city, but he didn't care. By his side, less than 50,000 horses were left for backup.

Han Pingzi and Lu Mu came to the city wall, looking at the flames everywhere in the city, mixed with these strange whistles, Lu Mu frowned, and suddenly a bad feeling rose.

"Han Shuai, something seems wrong?" Lu Mu looked at the city and said.

"There's nothing wrong with it, I can only say that the soldiers and horses of Lidu City still have some backbone, and they didn't abandon the city and flee. In the face of the slaughter of my 300,000-strong army, their resistance was nothing more than an egg hitting a stone. ”

As the two were talking, they saw several general guards running over.

"Commander Qiqi, the position of the forward battalion has encountered strong resistance, and the casualties are unknown at present, and it is impossible to get in touch with the main general."

"Marshal Qiyu, Chen Gongbao's department has been attacked, the back road has been blocked, and we can't get in touch with General Chen."

"Report to the marshal, Jiang Quan's department has been attacked, and the general is currently leading his troops to kill. The casualties were somewhat heavy, but Jiang Quan's department still held the main control. ”

Listening to the report of the general order guards, Han Pingzi immediately dispatched men and horses to support each other. Lu Mu frowned slightly, he felt a little strange. If Lidu City really has this ruthlessness, why don't you fight them to the death above the city. But at this moment, it was too late to give the order to withdraw the troops. The armies were fighting in the city, and it would be even more chaotic if the order was given at this time to withdraw the troops. Once the capital city fights back with all its might, the victory in hand is likely to be burned.

Lu Mu pondered for a moment and said to Han Pingzi, "Han Shuai, for the sake of safety, immediately let Jiang Gan lead the reserve men and horses out of the city to line up." If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, if there is an unexpected result, we have a way out. ”

Han Pingzi was stunned in his heart, and said with some displeasure, "Lu Mu, the two armies are fighting like fire and water, one is strong and the other is weak. At this time, our army should fight with all its strength to reap the final fruits of victory. If the soldiers and horses are allowed to retreat out of the city, who will bear the consequences if there is an accident in the absence of support. ”

"Han Shuai, you haven't found a few chasing people, and you haven't received any news of capturing the back city gate until now. On the contrary, they are controlled by others everywhere, and even some of the main generals have lost contact. All this is probably premeditated. ”

"Oh?" Han Pingzi was slightly stunned, he was too busy just now, but now that he thinks about it, something is indeed wrong. Han Pingzi is worthy of being a famous general in Western Vietnam, and his years of war experience made Han Pingzi suddenly feel that this was not like a captured city, but it made him feel like he was stuck in a quagmire.

"Order, Jiang Gan led the reserve men and horses, immediately went out of the city to line up, and waited for the news of the commander." Han Pingzi immediately gave an order.

Lu Mu nodded slightly, he admired Han Pingzi very much, and once he found a mistake, he would immediately correct it. If it were other generals who were slightly famous, they would even go down for the sake of their own face. It is precisely because of this that the two cooperate very tacitly.

Lu Mu's eyes looked at the city, because night fell, they didn't find the tall tower at the back gate. At this time, the lights at the back gate were closed, and the surrounding area was plunged into darkness. The more this is the case, the more clearly the bright moon can see the battle situation in the city.

Mingyue stared at the screams and burning places in the city with stern eyes, she knew that if she wanted to defeat the two or three hundred thousand troops of Western Vietnam, it would not be possible to do it in a moment. I'm afraid that this killing in the city will not take an hour or two, and there will be no winner at all. Fortunately, several sections of the road leading to the Houcheng Gate were blocked, and no West Vietnamese soldiers and horses rushed over. This shows that all the battle situation is still under the control of the commanders of each battalion.

Under the night, it seems that the whole city of Lidu is in a fight. In the camp outside the city, the Seventh Prince Delong looked nervously at the fire in the city, but he even weighed on his own net worth and life in this adventure.

After Fang Yan and Ah Zhu settled the people who were a little flustered, the two looked at the fire in the city, and Fang Yan couldn't help but say.

"Azhu, you are here to accompany His Highness Delong, and I will go to the city to see the situation."

When Ah Zhu heard this, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Miss Fang, you must not go." Now that the city is in chaos, you can only add to the trouble if you go. ”

"Don't worry, I'm just going to the tower and I'll come here to see the situation."

"Wait, I'll tell the Seventh Prince, and we'll go together."

Fang Yan thought about it and nodded silently, she knew that if she didn't let Ah Zhu go, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to go. The two greeted DeLong and learned that they had only gone to the tower to inquire about the situation, but DeLong did not stop them.

Inside the back gate, Zhang Ruming and Li Jianshan saw Fang Yan and A Zhu coming, and the two did not blame. After all, for such an important war, everyone wants to get the news as soon as possible.

"Brother Shangguan, what is the current battle situation?" Fang Yan asked softly.

Zhang Ruming pointed to the firelight in the distance, "It's still fighting, the outcome is still unknown." Brother and sister Fang Yan, don't worry, with my brother here, God will help us. ”

Fang Yan nodded and looked at the tall tower, she didn't go up to see the bright moon of the platform. Fang Yan knew that Mingyue's responsibility was heavy, and now was not the time to disturb her.

The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the bright moon on the high platform was also anxiously waiting for news. At this moment, two fiery snakes in the city rushed into the night sky. The bright moon of the platform could see clearly, and the two fire snakes shot in different directions. This shows that in one of the battles there is a decisive advantage, while in the other there is a serious crisis.

Without waiting for Mingyue to ask, the observer guards on the tower immediately reported, "Qi Qi Military Division, the troops led by General Wang Fuzhong of Nanhuo who left the throne, shot the arrow of victory. In the northeast Gen, there is a crisis at the general of Weidu. ”

"The order was ordered, and General Wang Fuzhong was ordered to leave the throne and lead his troops to move to the left to support. Ordered General Cui Zhiliang to send men and horses to support General Wei Du. ”

As soon as the military order of Mingyue came out, the agreed order suddenly sounded on the tower. At the West City Gate, Han Pingzi and Lu Mu were chilled in their hearts, and they hadn't received a single good news until now. In all the previous siege battles, this has never happened. But when the war came to this point, Han Pingzi and Lu Mu were also difficult to ride tigers, and it was difficult to collect troops without distinguishing between winning and losing. Whether it is Han Pingzi or Tangtai Mingyue, they all understand that this war must be fought to the end. Otherwise, no one can afford to lose.

At the time of the Battle of Lidu City, not far from the west side of Xiaogu Mountain, Duan Lang also led his soldiers and horses to quietly touch Fei Dezheng's camp. The fierce attack on the capital city this afternoon verified Duan Lang's analysis. After Da Fei came with the news, Duan Lang decided to eradicate the West Vietnamese soldiers and horses in the area of Xiaogu Mountain as soon as possible.

Duan Lang and the others crawled against the grass, and within fifty zhang of Fei Dezheng's soldiers and horses, Duan Lang and Zhou Wu gathered together.

"Duan Shuai, our war horses are all enclosed in an open space on the west side of Xiaogushan Mountain. The traps on the road have been backfilled, and judging from the entire layout of the other party, the east side of Xiaogushan is the main force, and the main general is stationed there. The weak point is the defense area on the south side, and there is a broken wall in Xiaogu Mountain, which is not conducive to the strong rush of people and horses on the mountain, so there is not much force arranged. Zhou Wu reported in a low voice.

Duan Lang looked up at the guards holding torches not far away, and whispered, "How many people are there in the horse guard?" ”

"There weren't many people over there, less than two hundred. Inside are not only our war horses, but also their chariots and horses. ”

"Okay, you take a thousand brothers to get it done, and I'll take people to attack the place where the lord will live."

Zhou Wu was stunned, "Duan Shuai, it's enough to give me a hundred people, I don't need so much." ”

"No, we must protect our war horses and not lose them. Against these hookers and longbowmen, as long as our brothers are allowed to fight in close combat, they will not be able to resist at all. What's more, Zhou Long will also lead his troops to rush down. ”

"Alright, I'll go get to the side of the herd first. As long as you do it here, the 200 or so people over there will solve it immediately. ”

After Zhou Wu finished speaking, Duan Lang divided a thousand people and followed Zhou Wu to quietly touch the direction of the horses by taking advantage of the night. Duan Lang waited for a moment, estimating that Zhou Wu and the others should be in place.

Duan Lang waved his hand, "Xiangtian, Gu Fan, you go and solve the outer guard." ”

"No!"

The two of them agreed, and more than a dozen figures pressed against the ground and quickly moved forward. All the guards of Xiyue stared nervously at Xiao Gushan, and no one expected that a wave of death would come behind them. A dozen dull killings did not alarm everyone.

The black-pressed crowd came to the place where the chief general of Fei De was located by sticking to the grass, and when the soldiers on guard outside Fei De's tent saw Xiang Tian and the others holding long knives, it was too late.

"It's not good, general~ they are Lidu~Eighteen slashes~!"

Puff puff ~, a puff of blood mist erupted, and before the warning guard finished speaking, his head was cut off to the sky.

Duan Lang raised his knife and slashed open Fei Dezheng's tent from behind, and rushed in.

"Kill~!"

A shout shook the entire Little Lonely Mountain. Shan Zhoulong and the others were already waiting in gear. Hearing the shouting and killing sound at the bottom of the mountain, Zhou Long flashed out from behind the mountain rocks and led his troops to rush down the mountain.

In the face of the elite men and horses led by Duan Lang, there was no suspense in this battle. Fei Dezheng, the general of Western Vietnam, died tragically under Duan Lang's sword. As soon as the main general died, the guards around the small lonely mountain had no one to dispatch, and it became even more chaotic. In less than half a pillar of incense, the West Vietnamese soldiers and guards scattered in a hurry, and they didn't even have the heart to resist.

Duan Lang did not order to hunt down the fleeing Western Vietnamese guards, and after gathering the men, Zhou Long walked over.

Looking at Duan Lang, Zhou Long said heavily, "Duan Shuai, we ~ have lost more than 2,000 brothers. ”

Duan Lang trembled in distress and nodded slightly, "It's not your fault, don't blame yourself for now, let's talk about it later." Command, everyone got on the horse. ”

The elite of Lidu City re-mounted their war horses, Duan Lang did not delay time, waved his sword, and led the soldiers and brothers to kill Lidu City.
