In the Xiyue camp, Han Pingzi and Lu Mu looked at the messenger strangely. There are only four words on the handwritten letter sent by this messenger ~ see you under the city.

Han Pingzi was just about to send the messenger away, Lu Mu raised his hand and said, "Wait, I want to ask, who wants to see me?" ”

The messenger of Lidu City said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "My military master, Mr. Lu will see you in the city." ”

Lu Mu sneered, "Military advisor? Hehe, it's really weird, I've lived in the city for a few days, and I've never heard of any military advisors. This military advisor, is it Li Jianshan, or is it the Humpty Dumpty Shangguan Xuanwu? ”

The messenger of Lidu City was angry, "Don't insult my lord, it's my Mingyue military advisor who has made an appointment with you." If Mr. Lu doesn't dare to go, he will say goodbye. ”

The messenger of Lidu City turned around, but behind him, Cang Langlang, the handsome soldier of Xiyue, showed his sword and glared at him angrily.

Lu Mu sneered, "Bright Moon Military Division? There are many men in the dignified capital, and they actually obey the dispatch of a female generation. You go back and tell you the Mingyue Military Division, and tell her to hurry up and ask for help from the Great Xia Court. Otherwise, it won't be long before your capital city will change its flag. Oh, by the way, I'm afraid it's useless for you to ask for help. The southern part of Great Xia is fighting hotly, and the Great Xia court has no soldiers to send. ”

The messenger of Lidu City turned pale, and said angrily, "I have strong soldiers and horses in Lidu City, and I don't need any assistance. As long as there is a guard standing, you Xiyue barbarians will not want to take the capital city. ”

Han Pingzi's eyes widened, "Do you want to die!" ”

As soon as Han Pingzi's voice fell, the handsome tent soldiers put their swords on the neck of the messenger in Lidu City.

Lu Mu smiled and waved his hand, telling his soldiers to retreat, "He's just a small soldier, don't scare him." It's not that I look down on you, in the eyes of this military division, the soldiers and horses in your capital city are simply a group of ants. Without foreign aid, you are dead. ”

The guards of the capital city had blue lips, and said toughly, "My soldiers and horses in the capital city are famous, why do you need to ask for help, even if we have foreign aid, it is not uncommon for us to have foreign aid." ”

Lu Mu smiled and nodded, "Yes, there is backbone." Okay, tell Mingyue Military Division, I'll go and meet her immediately. ”

Lu Mu asked people to send the messenger out of the camp, and as soon as the messenger came out of the tent, Lu Mu turned around and glanced at Han Pingzi, "Han Shuai, it seems that we have a false alarm, and there are no soldiers and horses in the city." ”

Lu Mu's seemingly contemptuous words just now suddenly got the information he wanted from the messenger's mouth. However, the strange celebration in the city still made him a little confused.

"Whether reinforcements arrive or not, don't be careless. Lu Mu, do you really want to see you in the city? ”

"Go, of course. It's just the right time to get a glimpse of them. Lu Mu said.

"Okay, let the two generals, Jiang Quan and Chen Gongbao, escort you there."

Lu Mu wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "It's okay, Han Shuai waits, Lu Mu will come when he goes." ”

Han Pingzi personally sent Lu Mu out of the account, and instructed Lu Mu not to get too close to the city gate to guard against fraud in the city.

Above the head of the capital city, the messenger came back to tell the situation, and Yutai Mingyue frowned slightly, she knew that Lu Mu was listening to the details of the city. Yutai Mingyue didn't blame anything, and ordered the messenger to go down and rest.

After a while, Lu Mu, escorted by Jiang Quan and Chen Gongbao, rode a war horse to the place of two arrows under the city and stopped. The three men were on horseback, and the guards were a hundred feet away. When Tantai Mingyue saw it, she understood what the other party meant, that is, to let her go out of the city to see her.

Tangtai Mingyue walked down the city wall and ordered, "Go and invite Zhou Hu and General Cui Zhiliang to come over." ”

After a while, Zhou Hu and Cui Zhiliang came to the city gate. Knowing that Tangtai Mingyue was going out of the city to meet Lu Mu, both of them were shocked. Zhou Hu was a little worried, and hurriedly went to the city to take a look. Seeing that there were only three people on the opposite side, and there were not many guards behind him, he was a little relieved.

The gates were wide open, and the three horsemen rushed out. The other generals were all arranging traps, and no one expected that Mingyue would go out of the city to meet Lu Mu. The distance between the two sides stopped at a distance of five or six zhang, and Zhou Hu and Cui Zhiliang stared at Jiang Quan and Chen Gongbao tightly.

Lu Mu hugged his fist gently, and said, "Mrs. Duan, don't come unharmed." I don't know what I commanded when I came down to the next appointment? ”

The corners of Yutai Mingyue's mouth curved into an arc, and she said mockingly, "Lu Mu, since you have come to my capital city, why don't you show your face." Could it be that I feel ashamed and dare not face these familiar faces? ”

"Mrs. Duan's words are wrong, and she doesn't show up in the future, not because she is afraid that your husband will know too soon. However, since Mrs. Duan is known to be in the camp, I'm afraid Duan Lang is already on her way to the capital. ”

Tantai Mingyue nodded, "Yes, my husband has broken through Landu City and is coming." Lu Mu, your Xiyue army has been committing my Great Xia for so long, we should also settle this debt. ”

Lu Mu smiled, "Mrs. Duan is here for an appointment, is she planning to set a date for the decisive battle?" ”

Yutai Mingyue smiled slightly, "What, you don't dare to accept it?" ”

"Why don't you dare, since Mrs. Duan wants to fight my army outside the city, it will be next."

"Lu Mu, my capital city has a city defense advantage, why bother to fight you outside the city. In three days, I will surprise you next. ”

"Oh? What do you mean, will Duan Lang come in three days? Well, this military division wants to see what surprises you can give you. ”

"Well, I'll be waiting for you on the city wall in three days."

After Tai Mingyue finished speaking, he took the reins of the horse, turned around and left without saying a word. Lu Mu was slightly stunned, "Mrs. Duan, slow down." ”

Lu Mu wanted to ask more about things, but Tangtai Mingyue didn't give him this opportunity at all, so he didn't hear it and quickly returned to the city. Lu Mu looked at the gate of Lidu suspiciously, and said in his heart that it took a long time to ask him to come here, so he said these two words? The simpler the Mingyue is, the more cautious Lu Mu's suspicions become.

Back in the camp, Lu Mu told Han Pingzi about the matter, and both of them were a little confused by Tantai Mingyue. However, Lu Mu could be sure that Duan Lang was indeed on his way to the capital. But he didn't know that Landu City had changed hands at this time. The flying pigeons of their camp can only fly to the national capital, and the flying pigeons of the Two Realms Mountains have no ability to find here. Moreover, Duan Lang's army was on the way to come, and Lu Mu did not dare to send a post official to Landu City to inquire about the situation.

"Lu Mu, do they want to wait for Duan Lang to arrive and attack us back and forth?" Han Pingzi said.

Lu Mu shook his head, "It shouldn't be like this, this woman is a military advisor, she must be outstanding." Presumably, Mrs. Duan should know that we will definitely set up an ambush for Duan Lang. She and I have made an appointment for three days, and there must be a conspiracy in it. ”

"Then do you think, should we wait, or fight?"

"Fight! The war continues tomorrow. She and I met for three days, and we can't be led by her nose, we have to disrupt each other's steps. However, tomorrow is still a small battle, so I'll go back first and see how Fei Dezheng has arranged. Wait until the day after tomorrow, let's have a big one, she said three days, we will launch a fierce attack one day in advance. Only in this way can Duan Lang rescue be eager to step into the trap. ”

"Okay, then let's go according to plan. Ben Shuai wants to see what the 300,000 tiger and wolf army of my western Yue will use to fight. ”

The two men deliberated and decided to continue the siege tomorrow. And Lu Mu quietly left the camp. Lu Mu left Fei Dezheng's 20,000 hook sickles and 30,000 longbow battalions in a narrow place called Xiaogushan fifty miles away. He had to rush over to see the arming situation in person, otherwise Lu Mu would also be a little uneasy.

On the road leading to Lidu City, the closer Duan Lang led his army to Lidu City, their movements slowed down. Now that Tai Mingyue has launched a plan, Duan Lang knows that he can't stop it, and he must cooperate with this scene. Otherwise, once there is a mistake, Lu Mu occupies the city gate and does not go deeper, which will be a big trouble.

Duan Lang didn't let Da Fei return to Lidu City again, he sent scouts and Da Fei to move forward cautiously in the search.

A day later, a fast horse rushed over. Duan Lang saw that it was a long-distance scout who had been released, and immediately ordered to stop advancing.

The scout came to Duan Lang and said breathlessly, "Duan Shuai, in the area of Xiaogushan, a large number of people have been found. Since the other party also sent scouts, the small one didn't dare to get too close for fear of exposing the target. ”

"Little Lonely Mountain?"

Duan Lang thought about it, the passage there was narrow, and once attacked, he could only retreat to Xiaogu Mountain. Moreover, Xiaogushan is very small, and 30,000 horses can besiege it. If you really want to be trapped on the small lonely mountain, there is no way out. Duan Lang hurriedly summoned Da Fei and asked Da Fei to go all the way to confirm it.

"Duan Shuai, you can't go any further. Xiaogu Mountain is located in a narrow area, and I am afraid that it is the place where Lu Mu set up an ambush. Zhou Long said.

Duan Lang nodded, he was thinking about how to break this game all the way. Now seeing that the other party is trapped, Duan Lang still has no good way.

The army rested, and Duan Lang discussed countermeasures with Zhou Long. After Da Fei's confirmation, Xiao Gushan does hide a lot of people. Duan Lang took out the draft of the march and looked at it carefully.

"Duan Shuai, do you think Lu Mu wants to eat us, or does he want to take Lidu City?" Zhou Long asked.

"When we cut off his food and grass, Han Pingzi and Lu Mu had no choice but to attack Lidu City, probably to attract us over and eat them in one fell swoop. However, once the Lidu City shows its defeat, they will definitely attack and take the Lidu City with all their might. ”

"You said that if we don't take the initiative to enter the trap, will Lu Mu attack Lidu City with all his might? Or, once we enter the trap, will the West Vietnamese army kill with all their might, and then withdraw their troops? ”

Duan Lang was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "Zhou Long, if we fall into a trap and Lidu City is defeated again, what will happen to Han Pingzi and Lu Mu?" ”

"Of course, it's a two-pronged one."

"Yes, as the commander of the army, he will definitely not let go of such a good opportunity. Trap us first, and then they will attack the city with all their might. After taking the capital, send troops to kill the trapped men and horses with all their might. If Lao Tzu doesn't get into trouble, I'm afraid that Han Pingzi and Lu Mu won't dare to let go and attack the city with all their might. ”

"Of course, Han Pingzi and Lu Mu know very well how powerful our team is. At the critical moment of their siege, your army of 30,000 is enough to overthrow his 100,000 horses. Zhou Long said confidently.

Duan Lang slapped his thigh, "Okay!" Since this is the case, then Lao Tzu took the initiative to take the bait and let Han Pingzi and Lu Mu rest assured that they would attack the city. ”

"What?" Zhou Long was stunned, and said in his heart, are you crazy?

Duan Lang pointed to the march sketch, "Zhou Long, I mean, our troops are divided into two routes. I'm going to take the initiative into the trap. When they fall into the trap of the capital city, you rescue us from behind. At that time, even if Han Pingzi and Lu Mu learned the news, it would be too late. Break their trap and kill them directly to join the bright moon. ”

"However, we originally had 30,000 horses, and then we only had 10,000 people in two ways, so I'm afraid people won't be able to fall for it. Furthermore, in case the opposing longbow is fired in a volley. I guess I can't wait for me to come to the rescue, you~! Zhou Long didn't continue.

"Listen, my plan is to take all the horses away and take the initiative to enter the other party's trap in the dark night. When the time comes, I will take my brothers to hide in the small lonely mountain. As long as they enter the mountains and forests, the longbowmen have no deterrent power. And under the cover of night, the other party didn't know how many soldiers and horses I had brought. “

"Duan Shuai, this is very risky."

"The whole plan is a risky move, and there is no way back. This time, either the Western Vietnam was defeated, or we were eaten whole. In order to make Mingyue's plan a little more realistic, the risk is also worth it. ”

"Then I have a request, let's change identities, and I'll be the bait. If you don't, please forgive me. ”

"It's useless for you to go, their goal is me."

"In the night, as long as the brothers shout to protect Duan Shuai, who do you think can come to verify the identity. Duan Shuai, if you don't agree this time, I will disobey. ”

Duan Lang patted Zhou Long on the shoulder, "Although Xiaogu Mountain is not big, it is a mountain after all. As long as I am allowed to enter the mountains and forests, it will be my world. Zhou Long, there is no need to fight, no one is more familiar with fighting in the mountains and forests than me. ”

"No, I don't agree." Zhou Long said stubbornly.

Duan Lang frowned, and it was useless to persuade him for a long time. In desperation, Duan Lang had no choice but to agree to let Zhou Long replace him. Looking at the sky, Duan Lang ordered the army to move forward quickly. He had to rush to the vicinity of Xiaogushan before sunset, after all, there would be no war horses at that time, and Duan Lang's rescuers couldn't be too far away from Xiaogushan.

In the capital, everyone is busy arranging traps and traps. The officers of the military department also conveyed the detailed orders and the distribution of each battalion to each battalion.

After a day's attack, the West Vietnamese army sounded the gong and closed its troops. Today's small fight, the casualties on both sides are not large. Han Pingzi gathered all the generals and began to arrange tomorrow's siege battle.

Just when the Xiyue battalion was arranged and prepared to storm the capital tomorrow, Han Pingzi and Lu Mu never dreamed that Fei Dezheng gave them an unexpected surprise. In the middle of the night, Duan Lang's army actually fell into the trap set by Fei Dezheng.
