Text Section 327 A special farewell

The war continued, and when these Nanping soldiers lost hope, they often burst into despair to their potential. Even people like Fang Sicheng and Wang Fujian, who were greedy for life and afraid of death, did not flee the battlefield.

All the Nanping soldiers understood that they had been defeated, and that they had been defeated very completely. Unlike the previous defeats, after the defeat in the past, he was able to escape back to the camp. But this time, they had nowhere to escape, and even the people of Great Xia could not tolerate the defeat of their remnants.

The shouting continued, Hu Tianzhuang was killed by Zhou Wu, Fang Sicheng was killed by Gu Fan to the sky, and Wang Fujian did not escape the fate of death, and was trampled to death by heavy armor. As the generals of Nanping were killed one by one, the war gradually came to an end. The remaining guards fled in all directions like headless flies, and as long as there was a glimmer of life, they did not want to die tragically by the sword.

When the shouts and cheers of victory sounded on the battlefield, Duan Lang and the others were solemn, and there was no trace of joy in their hearts.

"Order the commanders of each battalion to assemble in front of the handsome car, and the deputy generals of each department to count the men and horses."

After Duan Lang gave the order, he looked at the soldiers covered in blood, he didn't know how many brothers he would lose after this big battle.

Tangtai Mingyue sent someone to Xiangjun to inform Zhang Ruming, who was left behind, that although the decisive battle was over, they still had to rush to Melan City. Although Mo Kun and Lu Mu are no longer able to return to the sky, these two have not been taken, and Tai Mingyue feels that it is not the real ending.

Looking at Duan Lang, who was stained red with blood, Tantai Mingyue asked softly worriedly, "Lang, do you want to call the military medical officer?" ”

Duan Lang thrust the halberd into the ground, jumped off the war horse and took off the battle armor, "There are no injuries, it's all the blood of the enemy." Yue'er, shouldn't you send a team of men and horses to besiege Molan City? ”

Yutai Mingyue shook her head gently, "Let's rest for a while, they're all tired." Mo Kun and Lu Mu couldn't escape, they had no way to escape. I just made a visual inspection, and the number of West Vietnamese soldiers and horses who fled out was only 40,000 or 50,000, so there is nothing to worry about. ”

As the two of them were talking, the camp owners dragged their tired bodies and came to the handsome car one after another. Duan Lang's eyes swept away, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

"What about General Yan? What about Zhang Qifeng? Lao Huang, Wang Fuzhong, what about them. Duan Lang called the names of the generals one by one.

Zhou Long looked at Lantai Mingyue, hesitated for a moment and said, "Huang Zhi, he ~ is worth dying." ”

Duan Lang's heart was shocked, and he suddenly shouted worriedly, "What about ~ the other generals?" Quick, find it right away. ”

Yutai Mingyue bit her lip tightly and looked at the several generals around the handsome car. Chen Zhanxuan was obviously injured, Zhou Hu was also painted, and Lu Zhengshan was sitting in a pool of blood tiredly, and it seemed that he was not lightly injured. The Lang Zhong who accompanied the army were busy dealing with the seriously wounded, even if they were generals, as long as they could stand, they had to be at the back.

Yutai Mingyue was very worried about the generals who did not come, and she knew that this battle was too tragic. Although it won, the loss was also very heavy. Especially Zhang Qifeng and Yan Facheng's department, the battle was the most intense.

After a while, the herald ran over, "Qi Qi Duan Shuai, General Yan and General Zhang are seriously injured. General Wang Fuzhong and General Guan Zhen ~ were killed. ”

Hearing the bad news, everyone's faces changed. But the war is like that, and the people can only pray for them with a heavy heart.

Duan Lang sighed, "Inform the military medical officer, be sure to treat General Yan and Zhang Qifeng." The herald ordered Zhou Hu and Chen Zhanxuan and Lu Zhengshan's subordinates, after cleaning up the battlefield, retreat to Xiangjun to stand by. ”

After Duan Lang finished speaking, he waved Xue Bingkun and the three of them over. Duan Lang looked at Yutai Mingyue and said, "Yue'er, let me introduce you, these three are Xue Bingkun, Hua Gui, and Sun Hongzhan in the camp of Yixiang City. From now on, the three of them and their soldiers and horses officially belong to our army in the capital city. ”

Tangtai Mingyue and Zhou Long and others have long seen these unfamiliar faces. In any case, daring to participate in such a tragic fierce battle deserves everyone's respect.

Xue Bingkun and the three of them stepped forward and said with their fists clenched.

"I'll wait, see Master Strategist."

Tantai Mingyue also clenched his fists and said, "Three commanders, welcome to join the army of Lidu City, and Tangtai Mingyue has thanked all the righteous people." ”

After the introduction, Duan Lang said, "Xue Bingkun, you guys are also resting in place, and they temporarily belong to General Chen Zhanxuan's department. ”

"The last general will obey the order!" The three of them clenched their fists and said.

After Duan Lang finished arranging, his eyes looked at Zhou Long and Zhou Wu, "Give you half a pillar of incense, count 30,000 cavalry from the battlefield, and go to Melan City with Ben Shuai." ”

The two brothers Zhou Long and Zhou Wu hugged their fists, "Get the order!" ”

It didn't take half a pillar of incense at all, and the two brothers Zhou Long and Zhou Wu finished counting. Zhou Wu's men and horses were almost complete, and with 10,000 troops counted from Zhang Qifeng and Yan Facheng's headquarters, a 30,000-strong cavalry battle formation was re-formed.

Duan Lang had already changed into his armor, and Tai Mingyue said distressedly, "Lang, don't ride a horse, let's go over in a handsome car together." ”

Duan Lang looked at Tantai Mingyue's worried gaze and nodded slightly, "Okay, then it's better to be respectful than to obey your orders and listen to Madame." ”

Duan Lang jumped off the war horse and got into the handsome car, and with a wave of the Mingyue Command Flag, the 30,000 army rushed towards Molan City. Yutai Mingyue did not order a quick attack, since Mo Kun had fled, even if they ran quickly, they had organized a defense. Duan Lang didn't want to take the city, but to solemnly inform Mo Kun and Lu Mu that your invasion in Great Xia had completely failed.

In the city of Molan, it is a dashing place. The people of the Xiyue camp went to the city, and Lu Mu had long since lost the trend. Zhao Pingdu took Mo Kun, and when he returned halfway, Mo Kun came to his senses in a bumpy. Seeing that there were only a few personal soldiers around him, Mo Kun couldn't help but burst into tears. He not only lost this battle, but also ruined his life's reputation. Hundreds of thousands of troops were lost in Great Xia, and he had no shame to return to Nanping.

When Ying Shoushan learned of the defeat of the army, he couldn't help but tremble in shock. Ying Shoushan begged Mo Kun to leave with him, but Mo Kun was forced to die, if Ying Shoushan did not leave, he immediately committed suicide on the head of Melan City. Ying Shoushan had no choice but to kneel with Fu Shuai Zhao Pingdu to say goodbye to Mokun. They knew that Mo Kun had made up his mind, and this special farewell could be regarded as retaining some reputation for himself. Ying Shoushan knew very well in his heart that even if Mo Kun could escape back to Nanping, with his character, he was afraid that this life would be worse than death. It is better to be with the army and retain a tragic reputation.

Duan Lang's army was not moving fast, and the distance of fifteen miles was very fast for the cavalry. But when they arrived at the city of Molan, Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue couldn't help but look at the city head suspiciously.

The gates of Melan City were open, and there were no guards to be seen inside or outside the gates. Above the city, Mo Kun looked out of the city with his hands behind his back in plain clothes. Beside him, there were four pro-soldiers standing on the left and right.

Duan Lang ordered the advance to be halted and did not allow the army to enter the city. Duan Lang closed his eyes slightly and listened carefully, and said softly, "The city ~ is empty." ”

Yutai Mingyue was stunned for a moment, "It's empty?" Then Lu Mu ran away? ”

Duan Lang didn't answer, opened his eyes and looked at the strange road, and said to the driver, "Take the handsome car under the city gate." ”

The driver glanced at the Mingyue in a slight panic, and said in his heart that there was no deception, if the arrows shot down in the city, it would be troublesome. Yutai Mingyue sighed and motioned for the driver to follow the order.

The handsome car slowly moved forward, and Gu Fan Xiangtian and the other eighteen guards quickly stood on both sides of the handsome car, and the long knife in his hand was also cautiously raised. Zhou Long and Zhou Wu did not receive an order, so they could only watch Duan Lang's handsome car move forward. However, the two of them trusted Duan Lang very much and knew that Duan Lang would not make a reckless move.

Seeing Duan Lang and Platform Mingyue coming to the city, Mo Kun asked miserably, "Over there~ it's over?" ”

Duan Lang nodded, "It's over." ”

Mo Kun smiled very calmly, but there were tears in his smile, "The old man can be regarded as a horse all his life, and all along, the old man thinks that he is a high opponent in the world. Unexpectedly, his life's reputation was ruined in Great Xia. Duan Lang, the old man admires you, but he only admires that you are a general, if there is no Mingyue to assist you, I am afraid that with your ability, you can only succumb to a small capital city. However, since you have won, although the old man is unwilling, he can only admit it. ”

Without waiting for Duan Lang to speak, Tantai Mingyue retorted, "Mokun, I, Tantai Mingyue, have always regarded you and Lu Mu as rare wise men in the world. But listening to what you just said, your status in my heart has been reduced. ”

"Oh? The old man really wants to hear it, what advice does Mingyue have for military advisory? Mo Kun looked at Tantai Mingyue suspiciously.

Tantai Mingyue looked at Mo Kun proudly, "Actually, the reason why you failed is because you looked down on my husband and underestimated the handsome of our Lidu City." If my husband is just a general, I will not abandon the royal family in a foreign country and follow him to the death. If my husband is just a general, there will not be many brothers who will never abandon their blood. He doesn't have your Mokun's foresight, nor does he have Lu Mu's scheming genius, but my husband occupies the word morality. None of you can compare to this. ”

"Hehe, may I ask Princess Mingyue, what is morality?"

"The Tao is natural, no contention is the way, inaction is the way, loyalty is the way, and benevolence is also the way. My husband is open-minded and in line with the heart of the Tao. Your foreign enemies have invaded, the lives of the people of Daxia have been devastated, and my husband has gathered all his brothers to fight to the death, which is the great righteousness of the world. Morality is in the heart, the general trend of heaven and earth, you are undefeated, that is really unreasonable. ”

Mo Kun nodded, "Duan Lang, it is also your blessing to have such a strange woman to help." I hope that when he calls the emperor emperor one day, he will not forget the morality in his heart. ”

"Mokun, you waited for me to come just to tell me this? It's very strange below, why don't you escape from Melan City like Lu Mu. Duan Lang asked calmly.

Mo Kun sighed, "It is enough to have such a respectable opponent to bid farewell to the old man." I am different from Lu Mu, he is still young, and after returning to recuperate, he has been cultivating for a year or two, and he is also a strong opponent for you. I'm old and can't afford to wait for that time. Duan Lang, the old man has a reluctant request, I don't know if to talk about it or not? ”

"Please."

"My commander Zhao Pingdu and the commander should guard the mountain and flee here, I know that you have a way to notify the headquarters of Wuliang City and Xuanhua City to go to Shuangfeng Mountain to intercept them. The old man knew that he was guilty of a lot of sins, and he didn't want to survive, but he just asked General Duan to let them live and send a letter to my family. The sturdy men of Nanping have been exhausted in the Great War, and there is no longer a threat to your Great Xia. The old man is dying, I don't know if Duan Shuai can agree. Mo Kun solemnly clenched his fists and looked at Duan Lang.

Duan Lang looked at Tantai Mingyue, and Tantai Mingyue said softly, "Everything depends on the husband." ”

Duan Lang nodded, "Okay, I promise you to let them go." ”

Mo Kun stood on top of the city and bowed slightly, "Thank you." Since General Duan agreed to be there, the old decay has nothing to worry about. In the past, Han Pingzi and I were called Nanmo and Xihan, but I didn't expect that we both lost to the same opponent. If you can meet such a formidable opponent in this life, you will have no regrets in dying. ”

After Mo Kun finished speaking, he took a saber from the hand of the soldier next to him. Under the gaze of everyone, Mo Kun held the knife in both hands and solemnly saluted the sky. The soldiers on the left and right looked sad and angry, and they also drew their waist knives. Mo Kun smiled at Duan Lang under the city, and slashed at his neck with a knife. The eight pro-soldiers on the left and right shouted sadly, and also followed the master.

Duan Lang didn't stop him, let alone promise to give him a way to live. Let Mo Kun go, he is sorry for his dead brother, and letting Mo Kun leave in this way is also the best destination.

The army entered Molan City, and Duan Lang ordered Mo Kun's body to be buried. Tantai Mingyue immediately ordered someone to inform all the horses of Xiangjun to enter Molan City immediately, and informed Azhu to immediately send scouts to find the whereabouts of Lu Mu's troops. Not only Ah Zhu, but Duan Lang also released Da Fei and began to track down Lu Mu's remnants of the defeated army.

Don't look at Mo Kun and Lu Mu are both intruders, but the two of them have different positions in Duan Lang's heart. What Mo Kun represents is only national hatred, but Lu Mu has a family feud with Duan Lang. The tragic death of Fang Jiye's family was all caused by Lu Mu. Especially Fang Yan, Duan Lang has not fulfilled his promise to avenge her.

It wasn't until late at night that Zhang Ruming and others entered Molan City with their baggage. After this battle, Duan Lang's soldiers and horses suffered extremely serious casualties. It can be said that the number of troops that can still fight is less than 70,000. Among them, it also includes more than 10,000 soldiers surrendered by Xue Bingtian.

It was late at night, and none of the soldiers slept. Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue specially visited Yan Facheng and Zhang Qifeng, the two were very seriously injured, and the military medical officer An Kang did not dare to guarantee whether they could be treated.

In the mansion that had been cleaned up, Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue looked at the marching map on the table. Both of them wondered why Lu Mu wanted to enter this Jedi. There is no city and no other passage, which is tantamount to sinking into a dead place.

"Yue'er, what do you mean by what you say he Lu Mu?" Duan Lang was puzzled.

"If Lu Mu wants to return to Xiyue, he must bypass the lower pass and return to the Liangjie Mountain by taking the capital city of Fengluan County. Or, take a big detour from the west and walk the edge of the desert. He didn't go either way, but went to the Jedi, perhaps to confuse us so that we could not find their traces. I can't think of a better explanation than that. ”

Duan Lang thought for a while, "I think I want to hide first, and then they will find a way to escape after our army evacues." If it weren't for Da Fei, it would be really difficult to find their traces. That's fine, tomorrow I will take Zhou Wu to chase and kill him directly. From Molan City to the banks of the Wushui River, except for the swamp is the mountains and forests, and if they dare to fight us in the mountains and forests, they are simply looking for death. ”

"Then be careful, don't get bitten by a mad dog who is in a hurry. Lang, this battle is over, and next, it's time for us to settle old scores with the Deguang brothers. ”

Duan Lang was slightly stunned and nodded silently, "To be honest, I originally planned to keep them, after all, I had a relationship with Delong at the beginning. But Deguang's behavior has exceeded everyone's bottom line, and keeping them can only be a scourge. ”

"Well, I'm going to send a detachment of men and horses to secretly enter the Elephant City and Kyoto. I'll do these things, you concentrate on dealing with Lu Mu. That guy has a lot of ghost ideas, so be careful. ”

After the two finished discussing, it was already late at night. However, Tangtai Mingyue still didn't feel sleepy, and picked up the lamp and wrote a secret letter to Zhou Guangji. Tangtai Mingyue asked Zhou Guangji to immediately announce the news of Deguang's collusion with foreign criminals to the public, and first completely cut off the foundation of the Zhao family's royal family. Tangtai Mingyue didn't take Deguang Delong in her eyes, but after completely eradicating the Great Xia royal family, she should also consider letting Duan Lang open up the territory and establish a country.

Just when Mingyue wrote a secret letter to Zhou Guangji, Lu Mu, who had been running for several hours, finally arrived on the bank of the Wushui River. Looking at Zheng Bi and the wooden boats built by the craftsmen, Lu Mu immediately ordered to cross the river overnight.

Under the moonlight, the Wushui River is tumbling. Lu Mu's eyes contained resentment, and this defeat made Lu Mu's hatred for Duan Lang reach the limit. However, he knew that the general trend had gone, and no one in the entire Great Xia could stop Duan Lang's ascension to the throne. At present, it is the autumn harvest season, Lu Mu is preparing to clean up Fengluan County and several surrounding counties, he wants to leave Duan Lang with panicked people all the way to see how he cleans up this mess. Even if Duan Lang ascends the throne and becomes emperor, it will take at least ten years to rebuild the glory on this devastated land.

Ten years later, Xiyue Erlang will grow up with a large number of young and middle-aged men. Lu Mu was unwilling to fail like this, he wanted to duel with Duan Lang again ten years later.
