In the capital, the people are busy cleaning up their ruined homes. The guards of the New Army battalion were also busy cleaning up the corpses of both the enemy and us. Several large pits were dug outside the city, the soldiers and horses of the West Vietnamese were buried on the spot, and the soldiers who were damaged in the battle of the capital city erected a tombstone of heroic martyrs.

Yesterday's great battle made the city of Lidu dilapidated. But instead of showing dissatisfaction, the people had the joy of victory on their faces. After all, after this battle, they no longer have to worry about the attack of the Western Vietnamese army. Rebuilding the homeland is not a difficult task for the hardworking and simple people.

In the palace, the Seventh Prince Delong, Li Jianshan and others stood anxiously outside the inner house. After Duan Lang returned last night, he didn't come out of the inner house. Fang Yan's loss made everyone very sad, especially Zhang Ruming, who cried with snot and tears. Everyone was worried about Duan Lang, and Zhang Ruming and A Zhu accompanied him inch by inch.

Li Jianshan looked at the Seventh Prince and said with a sigh, "General Fang's family is really full of loyalty. It's a pity that General Fang Jiye lost Landu City, which became a stain on his life. ”

The Seventh Prince, Delong, coughed slightly, "Jianshan, are you blaming me, or are you reminding His Highness?" ”

Li Jianshan was slightly stunned, and then remembered that in order to protect the Seventh Prince Delong, Prince Hong not only did not chase the soldiers who were damaged in the battle of Landu City, but issued a notice to refute it. In this, there is indeed the factor of the Seventh Prince Delong.

"Your Highness, I don't mean anything else, I just think that the court is a little unfair to the other general Jiye."

"Jianshan, yesterday's battle report, temporarily pressed. Wait for the good news from the Mingyue military division and report to Kyoto together. Perhaps, after this battle, the war between Great Xia and Western Vietnam can be completely ended. The Seventh Prince, Delong, said slightly.

Li Jianshan's heart moved, "Your Highness the Seventh, if you drive the Xiyue army out of the Two Realms Mountain, according to the will of the first emperor, you should ~?" ”

The Seventh Prince, Delong, smiled bitterly, "It's too early to say this. The will is to say that when the war in Great Xia is over, don't forget that there is still Xining. ”

Li Jianshan also shook his head with a sigh, some things are easy to say, but when they are really implemented, I am afraid that it is no less than a big battle. Judging from the current forces above the court, Prince Dezhang still occupies a huge advantage.

The Seventh Prince, Delong, looked at Li Jianshan and said in a low voice, "Jianshan, if this prince ascends the throne, have you ever thought about where you are?" ”

Li Jianshan was stunned, "Your Highness, I don't have any ambitions, as long as I am willing, I can just place a position for the elderly." ”

"Your Highness is very optimistic about you, Jianshan, I see your talents. If His Highness ascends the throne one day, he will definitely use it again. The Seventh Prince said to Li Jianshan.

Li Jianshan's heart moved, bowed slightly and said, "Then~ Thank you, Your Highness Longen." If Your Highness sends anything, let it be commanded. ”

The Seventh Prince Delong nodded with satisfaction, and as the two were talking, they saw Duan Lang and Zhang Ruming walking out of the room. The two stopped talking and looked at Duan Lang and the others. Duan Lang's eyes were cold, but Zhang Ruming's eyes were crying like peaches.

Li Jianshan hurriedly greeted him, "Duan Lang, by the way." It's also to blame me for not taking good care of Fang Yan, otherwise this situation wouldn't have happened. ”

The Seventh Prince, Delong, also said, "Duan Lang, people can't be resurrected after death, please mourn." ”

Duan Lang turned around and looked at Zhang Ruming, and said hoarsely to Li Jianshan, "Brother Jianshan, prepare a fast horse for me." I discussed Fang Yan's funeral with Lao Zhang, if I can't come back in time, please bury Fang Yan for me. ”

Li Jianshan was stunned, "You~ Where are you going?" ”

"Hunt down and kill Han Pingzi Lu Mu and avenge my wife." Duan Lang said coldly.

"Duan Lang ~ You, you are still presiding over the overall situation in Lidu City, I believe that the Mingyue Military Division will not let them go." Li Jianshan looked at Duan Lang worriedly.

Zhang Ruming waved his hand, "Jianshan, let him go." Duan Lang, I know you kid is very sad, but don't forget that you are the commander of the army. No matter what, you kid must give Lao Tzu back alive. ”

Li Jianshan looked at Duan Lang, and then at Zhang Ruming and the Seventh Prince. Delong wanted to persuade a few words, but looking at Duan Lang's resolute expression, Delong had no choice but to nod, "Duan Lang, protect yourself, don't let everyone worry." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness. Build a mountain, prepare immediately, I don't need anyone else to follow. One person on the road, faster. Duan Lang said hoarsely.

Li Jianshan sighed, "Okay, I'll give you the best war horse in the mansion." ”

Seeing that Duan Lang was obsessed with going, Li Jianshan no longer persuaded him. Duan Lang carried a war spear and quickly rushed out of the city gate alone. The busy guards inside and outside the city gate looked at each other in surprise, not understanding where their boss was going.

Duan Lang's eyes were red, and he chased the team as quickly as if he was tireless. When people are sleepy and tired, they take a break on the grass on the road. Duan Lang traveled day and night, and the anger and grief in his heart made Duan Lang ignite a super strong will.

On the way to Landu City, Han Pingzi and Lu Mu ran all the way west, and Chen Gongbao's battle damage won them precious time. Coupled with the order of Tai Mingyue to repair, the two sides can be regarded as a distance.

The West Vietnamese army was sleepy and tired, and while resting on the side of the road, Lu Mu reintegrated the men and horses. At this time, there were only more than 70,000 people left in the Western Vietnamese army. Seeing this scene, Han Pingzi was so ashamed that he almost drew his sword and killed himself. If Jiang Gan hadn't grabbed it quickly, he, the world-famous West Yue general, would really have been lost.

Lu Mu anxiously persuaded, "Han Shuai, don't do this, the casualties of the two armies are normal." It doesn't matter if we fail, we can learn from our failures, and I believe that our West Vietnamese army will definitely make a comeback. Don't forget, Landu City and the Two Realms Mountains are in our hands. Even if I give up the capital city, my westward Yue can be regarded as opening up a vast territory. Moreover, the current soldiers and horses of Great Xia are no longer a threat to my Western Vietnam. When we recharge our energy and return to the capital, we will be ashamed. ”

Han Pingzi seemed to have aged by more than ten years all of a sudden, and his haggard face was blank. Han Pingzi, who has always been full of confidence, was completely crushed by this failure.

Han Pingzi raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, and then sat on the chariot weakly. Looking at the worried eyes of Lu Mu and the others, Han Pingzi said weakly.

"Lu Mu, the army will be handed over to you, and the old man will bear this defeat with all his might. The capital city is not broken, and the old man has no face to return to Xiyue. After arriving in Landu City, all the battles~ are up to you. Han Pingzi said and took out the handsome seal.

"Han Shuai can't, even if it is handed over, it will have to wait until it arrives in Landu City." Lu Mu hurriedly stopped.

Han Pingzi's trembling hand dragged the handsome seal, and said with a sigh, "Okay, the old man will keep it for you for two more days." ”

Seeing that Han Pingzi had calmed down, Lu Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In order to stop the chasing soldiers behind him, Lu Mu hurriedly summoned Jiang Gan and the members above the thousand general managers to discuss. The soldiers and horses have been regrouped, and they are no longer the same as last night's chaos. Don't look at the fact that there are only more than 70,000 people left, but these soldiers can escape, like a big wave sweeping sand, and the rest are the elite of each battalion.

After days of killing and running, everyone was extremely tired. Lu Mu had no choice but to let everyone rest for a few more hours. Lu Mu looked at the sketch of the march, and asked Jiang Gan to send troops to ambush in several narrow and dangerous places. There was no need for many people in each place, leaving only 300 people in ambush. Armed with longbows and crossbows, these men were specialized in shooting and killing the generals who pursued them. Moreover, after the West Vietnamese soldiers and horses, they dug traps on the spot and set up tripping ropes. Lu Mu's purpose is to contain the pursuit time of the soldiers and horses in the capital city. Now for Lu Mu and others, time is life.

Behind the Western Vietnamese army, Mingyue divided the men and horses into two parts. All the way was Cui Zhiliang's chariot battalion and Wang Fuzhong's heavy armored cavalry, and they slowly moved forward behind. The other part was the cavalry belonging to Zhou Long, Zhou Hu and Wei Du Feng Ming and others, which were quickly pursued.

Not to mention, Lu Mu's little plan really played a big role. Every time they went to a narrow place, the traps on the road and the shooting of 300 people really gave Zhou Long and the others a headache. Just stopped and stopped, so that the army of Lidu City was delayed for a lot of hours in vain.

Seeing this situation, Tangtai Mingyue simply ordered the army to rest for an hour, and let Huang Zhi lead the scout battalion to explore the road in front.

Behind the bright moon of the platform, Duan Lang rushed day and night, and finally caught up with the heavy armor and chariot battalion. Cui Zhiliang and Wang Fuzhong couldn't help but be a little stunned when they saw Duan Lang coming alone.

Cui Zhiliang asked, "Duan Shuai, who are you?" Coming alone? ”

"Old Cui, let's not talk about it yet, I'm going to sleep on the chariot. Wake me up after two hours, that's the command. ”

The tired Duan Lang didn't care about explaining anything, so he threw himself into the chariot and fell asleep. Cui Zhiliang and Wang Fuzhong looked at each other, and the two of them realized something in their hearts. After Duan Lang left with the seriously injured Fang Yan, these generals would definitely have to ask. Although there is no explicit statement in the army, everyone knows the meaning revealed in and out of the words. It seems that Miss Fang really didn't survive.

Cui Zhiliang's nose was sour, and he couldn't help but want to cry. He was the first to follow Duan Lang's old team, and he was very familiar with Fang Yan. Especially in Yushan Pass, Fang Yan also lived with their black armor guards.

Two hours later, Cui Zhiliang woke up Duan Lang. Looking at Duan Lang's red-eyed and haggard face, Cui Zhiliang hesitated and asked.

"Duan Shuai, Miss Fang~?"

"Hmm!" Duan Lang nodded.

After getting verification from Duan Lang's mouth, Cui Zhiliang's heart still trembled, "Duan Shuai, mourn." We must pay this debt in blood. ”

"Lao Cui, I'll chase Mingyue and them. There are still a few days left from here to the Two Realms Mountain, and Han Pingzi must not be allowed to run away. Otherwise, I'm sorry for Fang Jiye and his wife, and I'm even more sorry for Fang Yan. ”

Duan Lang said as he got on his war horse, waved his hand and rushed out quickly. Cui Zhiliang hugged his fists and urged the people to speed up.

On the way to Landu City, whether it was Lu Mu's Xiyue army or the soldiers and horses of Lidu City led by Yutai Mingyue, the two sides did not move very quickly. Since Han Pingzi was riding in a chariot, his speed could not go up, so Lu Mu could only lay layers of traps all the way to block the pursuers. Originally, he could rush to Landu City in three days, but it took four and a half days to enter the boundary of Landu City. If you want to reach Landu City, it will take half a day. But at this time, Duan Lang had already caught up with the soldiers and horses led by Mingyue.

Seeing Duan Lang chasing after him alone, Tai Mingyue was shocked. Feng Ming and Wei both hurriedly greeted them. They were extremely tired after the battle that night, and they didn't have time to ask about the eldest lady's injuries.

Seeing Duan Lang coming, Wei Du hurriedly asked, "Duan Shuai, my eldest lady~she~ How is her injury?" ”

Mingyue's heart tightened, although she had the answer in her heart, Mingyue still hoped for a miracle.

The muscles on Duan Lang's face moved, "Fang Yan, she~ is gone." ”

Wei Du and Feng Ming's bodies trembled, and the two of them looked at Duan Langleng blankly for a few breaths, and suddenly couldn't help crying bitterly. It can be said that Fang Yan is the child they grew up with, and Fang Jiye and his wife should have taken better care of them after they were heroic. Unexpectedly, a night battle actually caused Fang Yan to suffer miserably.

"Fang Shuai~I'm sorry for you~!" Wei Du cried, although he didn't know that Fang Yan was in the team that night, Wei Du still blamed himself for this matter.

The entire army temporarily stopped moving forward, especially the soldiers of Landu City who were extremely sad when they heard the news. Yutai Mingyue came over and grabbed Duan Lang's hand, she didn't know how to persuade her.

"Lang~, you shouldn't come, you should accompany Sister Yan." Yutai Mingyue said with tears in her eyes.

"No, I promised Fang Yan that I must keep Han Pingzi." Duan Lang didn't cry, but seemed extremely calm.

"Yue'er, I'm fine, don't worry about me. Han Pingzi led the Xiyue army to break through the Landu City, if you don't leave him behind, I'm sorry for my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and I'm even more sorry for Fang Yan. Now I'll take Zhou Long's subordinates first, and you will break behind. Duan Lang looked at Mingyue's worried gaze and said softly.

"Lang, Han Pingzi and Lu Mu laid a lot of traps along the way. You have to be careful. "Yutai Mingyue didn't stop it, and she knew that it was useless to stop it.

"Duan Shuai, the last general asks to follow." Feng Ming clenched his fists and said.

"Duan Shuai, please allow the last general to follow." Wei Du said with tears on his face.

Zhou Hu, Huang Zhi and others dismounted one after another and asked to follow. Duan Lang looked at the generals and said loudly

"Okay, then let's all rush forward together and kill him and wipe him out. Yue'er, I have asked Da Fei to order Zhou Wu of Landu City to go out of the city to intercept. Even if they could rush past the interception, they wouldn't be able to run back to the Two Realms Mountain. Zhou Long, rushing forward with Ben Shuai, the little stumbling horse Suo Xiu wanted to block the army of my capital city. ”

Duan Lang's spear was raised, and all the soldiers shouted. Duan Lang continued, "Yue'er, you are in the back formation. ”

After speaking, Duan Lang took the lead in rushing out. As soon as he moved, Gu Fan Xiangtian and the others quickly followed. Feng Mingwei was afraid that he would be left behind, so he hurriedly led the men and horses of his headquarters and ran forward howling.

The soldiers and horses of Lidu City and the West Vietnamese army were constantly approaching, and those who had set the traps had not even had time to complete them, Duan Lang and others killed them. Lu Mu no longer sent people to block it, seeing that he was about to arrive at Landu City, as long as he entered the city gate, the chasing soldiers behind him had no equipment to climb the city, so they could only howl outside the city.

Until now, Lu Mu didn't know that Landu City had already changed hands and was taken over by Duan Lang again. And Zhang Zongfeng, who left him to guard the Landu City, had already fled to the Two Realms Mountain and did not dare to come out. There are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses left behind in the Two Realms Mountain, and they don't dare to attack the Landu City, which is guarded by the elite of the Lidu City.

Looking at the tall walls of Landu City from afar, Lu Mu shouted happily, "Hurry, speed up a little faster." Landu City has arrived, and we will be safe when we enter the city gate. ”

The Western Vietnamese army rushed forward quickly, and Jiang Gan suddenly saw a small number of soldiers and horses lined up neatly outside the city of Landu.

"Han Shuai, Zhang Zongfeng led the soldiers and horses out of the city to greet us." Jiang Gan said loudly.

The soldiers who were running couldn't help but feel a big sigh of relief. Lu Mu felt a little strange, he didn't send someone to deliver the news, how did Zhang Zongfeng know that they would come?

Lu Muzheng was puzzled, and heard someone shouting, "It's not good, they are wearing the robes of Lidu City, not our people." ”

Hearing this, Lu Mu's heart was shocked, and he almost didn't get planted off the horse!
