Thirty miles away from Landu City, Duan Lang's army was intercepted by Zhang Zhanchao's soldiers and horses in the torrential rain. Looking at the cross-locks, cupola ropes, and trapped horse rings arranged in front of the Gou sickle, Duan Lang reluctantly gave the order to stop advancing.

Duan Lang, who grew up in the mountains and forests, is very familiar with the arrangement of these organs. He didn't expect that these traps, which were originally used in the mountains and forests to ambush fierce beasts, were actually used in the military array. What made him even more helpless was that the combination of the hook and sickle hand and the longbow array was the nemesis of the light cavalry. It seems that the other party has expected that they will rush to the rescue lightly and quickly, and specially set up an ambush here.

"Duan Shuai, if you force the impact, I'm afraid the loss will be very heavy." Liu Xusheng wiped the rain from his face and said.

Duan Lang was a little anxious in his heart, due to the thunderstorm, he lost Da Fei's reconnaissance news. Until now, Duan Lang still didn't know what the situation was like today. But before the rain in the early morning, Duan Lang received a message from Fang Yan and learned that Landu City had adjusted the layout in time, which made Duan Lang a little easier.

"Zhou Wu, immediately send out scouts to see if you can bypass around." Duan Lang ordered.

"Duan Shuai, you have already surveyed before you came, and there was originally a canyon that could be passed by two riders after turning over the mountain on the right. But when the rain came, the road over there was also blocked. The mountains on the left are not high, but they are all gravel cliffs, and the horses cannot pass unless they abandon them. Zhou Wu said.

Duan Lang's brows tightened, it was definitely not okay to give up the war horse. There are still more than 30 miles away from Landu City, if you go over the mountain and detour and the foot army in the mud, you will be blinded by the black lights when you arrive at Landu City. If that's the case, it's better to wait for the other party to withdraw and go straight to the Lan Capital. After all, on a rainy day, the night is as dark as ink, and the black crossbowman can only shoot blindly. It is even said that it only takes a few feints to make the opponent's arrows shoot out. Therefore, Duan Lang judged that they would definitely evacuate before sunset.

"Xusheng, let the soldiers and horses rest in place. Shelter from the rain and wind, don't worry about the other party, they don't dare to take a step forward. You wait, I'll go and meet the other general. ”

"Duan Shuai be careful, the shooting distance of the longbow is relatively long, be careful of being ambushed." Liu Xusheng hurriedly said.

Duan Lang nodded, and galloped forward. Xiang Tian and the others didn't say a word, and followed directly. In the battle array on the opposite side, Zhang Zhanchao looked nervously at this army that made him a little intimidated. In the last battle, Duan Lang and the eighteen guards completely fought their prestige, don't look at the fact that only a dozen people came over, Zhang Zhanchao still ordered the archers to prepare.

Duan Lang stopped from a distance with his sword in his hand, and shouted loudly, "The person in charge on the other side has a kind of conversation before the battle." ”

The muscles on Zhang Zhanchao's face trembled, and he rushed forward with a dozen horses. Zhang Zhanchao did not lead his entourage, and came to the opposite side of Duan Lang alone. This distance allows him to calmly return to the camp.

Duan Lang looked at Zhang Zhanchao with cold eyes, and said loudly, "In the next Duan Lang, who are you?" ”

"In the lower west, the general Zhang Zhanchao. Duan Lang, this road is not passable, I advise you to return to Lidu City. It won't be long before our West Vietnamese army will come to the city. ”

Duan Lang sneered, "You don't need to go over, if you have the ability, you can deal with me now." I'm afraid you don't even have the courage to take ten steps forward. ”

"Hmph, Duan Lang, if you want to provoke General Ben with words, then you can go back. Although the guards I led rode horses, they belonged to the infantry. It's not to underestimate you, this general's soldiers and horses are placed here, let your army attack, Lao Tzu promises that my West Vietnamese soldiers and horses will never take a step back. I'm afraid, you Duan Lang don't have the guts. Zhang Zhanchao replied in the same way.

"Zhang Zhanchao, I'm not here to quarrel with you, I just want to see an old friend. That Lu Moke is here, let him come out to talk. ”

"Lu Mo?" Zhang Zhanchao was slightly stunned, and immediately understood that what Duan Lang was referring to must be the military advisor Lu Mu.

"Hmph, I don't have any Lu Mo here. However, in my Xiyue army, there is a great military division Lu Mu who is clever and clever, and I don't know what General Duan said about him. ”

"Lu Mu? It turned out that the guy's name was Lu Mu. Okay, I remember. Duan Lang said fiercely.

"If you want to see my family's military division, then dismount and surrender, and this general can take you to meet the military division."

Duan Lang pointed at the war knife in his hand, "Tell Lu Mu that I, Duan Lang, am a person who holds grudges." This account is written down for him for the time being, and Lao Tzu will settle it with him sooner or later. ”

After Duan Lang finished speaking, he took the reins of his horse and returned directly to his camp. Jin Rushi made a humiliating gesture to Zhang Zhanchao, "Bad seed, do you dare to fight with your master." ”

Zhang Zhanchao also snorted coldly, turned around and rode towards his camp. Regarding Jin Rushi's provocation, he just didn't hear it.

The two sides are at such a stalemate, and no one dares to take a step forward. Duan Lang and the others estimated that if they were forcibly attacked, the rain of arrows alone would probably have a probability of at least five thousand battle damage. What's more, there is a hook and sickle in the front of the opposite front, which is specially used against cavalry. After several discussions, Duan Lang finally decided to wait. He felt that Landu City had not yet reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, not to mention that this kind of heavy rain was very beneficial to defending the city, Duan Lang did not think that Landu City would have any mistakes.

Just after the stalemate between the two sides for about an hour and a half, the heavy rain in the sky also stopped. The dark clouds dispersed, and the rain passed over the blue sky where the sky was clear and cloudy, which couldn't help but lift people's spirits. At this moment, Zhang Zhanchao suddenly heard the neighing of war horses behind him.

Zhang Zhanchao was a little strange, but he didn't think it would be the army of Landu City, and thought that his cavalry came to support. However, when Zhang Zhanchao vaguely saw the battle flag, his face suddenly changed.

"Quickly, change formations, don't ~ evacuate, evacuate immediately, evacuate to the open place on the left side of the rear, and never let the other party surround you."

Zhang Zhanchao's soldiers and horses were originally refused to defend in the narrowest place, but when he saw that it was the army of Landu City rolling in, he immediately made the decision to evacuate. If they still refuse to defend here, these 40,000 horses will have no way to survive under the attack from both sides. Even if you can fight your way out, I'm afraid there aren't many people alive. It is better to take advantage of the fact that the encirclement has not yet formed, and quickly evacuate. As long as he could retreat to the side of Landu City, he would no longer have to worry about being eaten by the other party. After all, there are still three or four hundred thousand West Vietnamese troops there. It's just that Zhang Zhanchao doesn't understand why the soldiers and horses of Landu City will kill them. Could it be that they forwarded it to Duan Lang? Zhang Zhanchao never dreamed that this army would escape from the city gate.

Zhang Zhanchao's army moved, but Duan Lang and the others were surprised and couldn't believe it. They themselves were far away from Zhang Zhanchao's battle formation, and even if Duan Lang was deaf and sharp-sighted, he didn't find that the army of Landu City had killed them from the rear. However, such an opportunity to run out of food will not be missed, and he immediately ordered it.

"Zhou Long, lead two thousand men and horses, and immediately clear the trap. Xusheng, inform everyone to prepare for battle, even if you catch up with a tail, you have to cut off one of its hind legs. ”

"No!"

Zhou Long and Liu Xusheng agreed, and they each began to get busy. The 2,000-strong forward battalion rushed over, picking and chopping, and quickly cleared the road of the mechanism.

At this moment, Duan Lang was riding on a war horse, but he looked into the distance in surprise. Looking at the rolling army of Landu City, Duan Lang was also a little confused.

"Zhou Long and Zhou Hu, you two quickly lead 20,000 horses and chase Zhang Zhanchao's soldiers and horses all the way. Remember, once they join the army, they should return immediately, and they must not fight. ”

"No!"

The two brothers, Zhou Long and Zhou Hu, quickly led 20,000 soldiers and horses to chase and kill Zhang Zhan's super army who fled to the left. However, Duan Lang led the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses, and directly faced the army of Landu City, which was rushing towards this side.

Feng Ming's face was sad and angry, there was a chariot in the army, less than three miles away from their troops and horses, Wei Du was leading the army of Lan Ducheng to fight with the pursuing Western Vietnamese soldiers and horses. Although they rushed out of the northern city gate, the Western Vietnamese generals Jiang Quan and Chen Gongbao still led their troops to chase and kill them. Wei Du had no choice but to let Feng Ming protect Fang Yan and go first, and he came to stop the enemy army.

If Zhang Zhanchao knew that this was the case, he would definitely regret that his intestines would be blue. In fact, Zhang Zhanchao only needed to strip off 20,000 crossbowmen just now and reflexively refused to defend, which was a disaster for the soldiers and horses of Landu City. Zhang Zhanchao was afraid that he would be besieged and lost a great opportunity.

Duan Lang and Feng Ming were less than thirty zhang, and the two of them restrained the war horse at the same time. Looking at the army of Landu City, which was muddy, exhausted, and even scattered, Duan Lang asked in surprise.

"General Feng, what's going on? How did you get out of town? ”

"Duan Lang ~ Landu City ~ lost ~." Feng Ming couldn't help but burst into tears.

When they rushed out of the city gate, Feng Ming and the others saw that the tower flag was pushed. At that moment, Fang Yan was already awake and screamed to go to the West City Gate. Feng Ming was helpless, and knocked her unconscious again. Thinking that Fang Jiye and his wife would probably be heroic at the West City Gate, Feng Ming was even more speechless.

"Lost? How could it be lost! General Feng, say quickly~Tell me quickly~! Duan Lang shouted anxiously.

"The city wall collapsed~ The enemy army attacked the city on three sides, and Fang Shuai had no choice but to order me to evacuate~ but he and his wife ~." Speaking of this, Feng Ming burst into tears again.

Duan Lang's body trembled, and he almost didn't sit still, Duan Lang was just about to ask about Fang Yan's whereabouts. I heard a Qian general manager behind Feng Ming say, "General Duan, Miss is in the car, and for the safety of Miss Min, she is just temporarily fainted." Now General Wei is blocking the pursuers from behind, and he also asks General Duan to go to the rescue quickly. ”

Duan Lang was a little relieved when he heard that Fang Yan was fine, and when he learned that there were still pursuers behind him, Duan Lang angrily raised the battle knife in his hand.

"General Feng, you are waiting here for the time being. The army of Lidu City listened to the order, rode the fastest speed, and killed with Ben Shuai~! ”

The tired soldiers of Landu City quickly moved out of the way, Duan Lang didn't bother to look at Fang Yan, and rushed out quickly.

He didn't run far before Duan Lang saw General Wei Du and the West Vietnamese soldiers and horses in the melee. Wei Du and the others fought and retreated, delaying the pursuit of the other party as much as possible while minimizing losses. Don't look at the fact that there are a lot of soldiers and horses in Landu City, how can everyone lose their fighting spirit, and they have no intention of fighting at all.

"Brothers in Landu City, listen, you evacuate, these bastards are handed over to us." Jin Rushi's thick voice still spread far away in the sound of fighting.

As soon as Wei Du and the others saw the army of Landu City, they were immediately in high spirits. However, Jiang Quan and Chen Gongbao of Xiyue had the idea of retreating. Most of the soldiers and horses of the Western Vietnamese were still killed in the city, and they only led about 50,000 men and horses to follow and kill. Both of these people have seen the strength of the soldiers and horses in Lidu City, and there are still tens of thousands of remnants of defeated soldiers on the Wei Capital side, Jiang Quan knows that there is no chance of winning if he continues to fight.

"Order, evacuate quickly!" Jiang Quan hurriedly gave an order.

Landu City was lost, Duan Lang and the others were red-eyed, how could it be so easy to leave. The army of the capital city of 30,000 Li pounced on the opponent like a hungry wolf. The two new recruits and veterans have undergone some tempering, and they are both ruthless and vicious one by one. In less than half a pillar of incense, the soldiers and horses led by Jiang Quan and Chen Gongbao were completely defeated. In the run, anyone who catches up is killed by one shot. If it weren't for the fact that the war horses of Lidu City had been running for two or three days in a row, at least half of the troops would have been left.

Duan Lang chased all the way to the north gate of Landu City, and Duan Lang had to stop. At this time, the sound of fighting could still be heard in the city, but Duan Lang was a little helpless. As soon as Jiang Quan and the others entered, the city gate was immediately closed, and looking at the Xiyue archers on the city wall, Duan Lang only hated that he couldn't fly to the top of the city.

At this time, Zhou Long and Zhou Hu also led their troops and horses to rush over from the side of the city wall. Zhang Zhanchao had already joined up with the soldiers and horses left behind in the front battalion, and Zhou Long and Zhou Hu could only return.

"Duan Shuai ~ Landu City is lost." Zhou Long said in a choked voice.

Duan Lang didn't answer, but stared at the city with red eyes. Because directly above the city gate, he saw a familiar figure~ Lu Mu.

After more than an hour of rest, Lu Mu finally regained some vitality. After sobering up, Lu Mu immediately followed the army into the city. All he had to do was to arrange the defense of the north city gate and wait for Duan Lang's arrival.

Looking at Duan Lang's somewhat hideous face under the city, Lu Mu, who was still a little pale, arched his hand and said with a smile.

"General Duan, don't come unharmed. In the Lower West Vietnam Army Division Lu Mu, today we are officially acquainted. Oh, by the way, thank you General Duan for taking care of me these days, if I have the opportunity, I would like to talk to General Duan about the world again. ”

Duan Lang only felt that his throat and eyes were a little sweet, and his lungs were about to explode. Duan Lang forcibly suppressed his anger, pointed at Lu Mu with his war knife and said, "Lao Tzu doesn't have time to talk nonsense with you now, let me ask you, how are Fang Shuai and his wife now?" ”

Duan Lang didn't know Fang Jiye's life and death, if he was caught, no matter what the price, he had to get it back. Therefore, Duan Lang temporarily held back a breath of anger and did not explode.

Lu Mu's face was solemn, and he said with a straight face, "I'm ashamed, when I entered the city, I knew that General Fang Jiye was bravely damaged in battle." As a general, he died in battle, and Mrs. Fang was more admirable and able to live together. You can rest assured that this military division will bury Fang Jiye and his wife. ”

"Ah~!"

After Duan Lang heard this, he let out a tearing scream, poof~ A mouthful of blood spurted out. Duan Lang pointed at Lu Mu and wanted to scold a few words, but his eyes were dark, and he fell under the horse!
