Looking at the Moro army that rushed madly, no matter how stupid Zhang Ruming was, he understood that he had fallen into Lu Mu's trap. But this trap made them speechless, and they couldn't explain it at all for a while. was caught at the scene, and all the stolen goods were seized, and this black pot was really wronged.

Zhou Wu waved his spear and shouted loudly, "The left cavalry battalion listens to the order and quickly protects Lord Shangguan to evacuate." The right cavalry battalion of the forward battalion will follow me into battle. ”

Fifty zhang away, the army arrived in a blink of an eye. Zhang Ruming was not stubborn this time, and quickly withdrew backwards under the protection of the left cavalry battalion. After all, Lu Mu's army had just left, and who knew if they would come back again. In case they are outflanked by others, even if Zhou Wu and the others are tenacious, I am afraid that this loss will not be small.

The soldiers and horses of Moro were completely crazy, for the sake of their crown prince, for the high priest who was admired by all the people of Moro, they rushed to the Zhou Wu battle array with swords and guns in their hands. Zhou Wu couldn't explain, he knew that even if he explained, he might not be able to listen to the other party. Lu Mu's move was too vicious, and what made Zhou Wu most depressed was that there were no Western Yue soldiers and horses to be seen here, even if he explained it to Long Mu, he might not be able to explain it clearly. But Zhou Wu didn't dare to fight, he was also afraid that Lu Mu would turn around and kill him, so that he would be surrounded by the two armies. What's more, under the madness of the Dragon Mu army, the combat effectiveness has more than doubled.

In the fierce battle, Zhou Wu found that the Moro soldiers and horses were crazy at this time, and they didn't even have a basic battle formation. However, their crazy energy made Zhou Wu's department suffer a lot of losses.

"Order, evacuate!"

Seeing that Zhang Ruming had lost his figure, Zhou Wu hurriedly gave the order to evacuate. But they could only detour and divert Long Mu's army to prevent Long Mu from chasing and killing Zhang Ruming.

Zhou Long didn't expect that Long Mu didn't order the pursuit at all. As soon as Zhou Wu's soldiers and horses withdrew, the scattered Moro soldiers outside the canyon suddenly became quiet. The eyes of the soldiers all looked at Long Mu, and everyone's faces were full of anger and sorrow.

Long Mu ordered the guards to find the body of the high priest Hutu. Looking at the corpses of the crown prince and the high priest Hutu, Long Mu only felt that his eyes were dark, and he fell off his horse. When his soldiers saw it, they were so frightened that they hurriedly surrounded him. But many more let out angry howls and wepts. As Moro people, they were not afraid of dying on the battlefield, but the death of the crown prince and the high priest made them feel humiliated and provocative.

Just when the land of the canyon was sad, in Qingshan County, Duan Lang felt that there was something unusual about the quietness here. Qingshan County is not large, more like a village where tribes gather. As soon as Duan Lang and the others arrived, the people in the county were so frightened that they hid everywhere, and the entire small county seemed to become empty.

Tantai Mingyue looked at the sky and asked Gu Fan, "Gu Fan, have the surrounding scouts found anything wrong?" ”

Gu Fan shook his head, "No, I went to inspect just now, and I didn't find anything abnormal." ”

Tantai Mingyue looked at Duan Lang, "Lang, it can't be that something happens." It's the end of the day, and the appointed time has long passed. Otherwise, let's go back to the camp first. Maybe on the way, we can meet Hutu and them. ”

Duan Lang was also a little irritable and nodded, "Okay, Zhou Long, give the order to evacuate." No matter what trouble they encountered, it was disrespectful to make Emperor Ben wait so long. ”

Tantai Mingyue was quite strange in her heart, it was said that the current situation in Moro was critical, and the high priest Hu Tu was anxious. Why did the time and place be agreed, but there was no one to see, which made Tai Mingyue a little unclear. But Tantai Mingyue is absolutely convinced that Moro is more urgent than them for this peace talks.

Duan Lang's dozens of people withdrew from Qingshan County, facing the unusually quiet county town, Duan Lang felt that this matter was strange. However, they didn't think much about it, in Duan Lang's opinion, the Moro Kingdom would eventually choose the path of peace talks. Otherwise, if the fight continues, once the Moro Kingdom is broken, I am afraid that Beiming will really move the mind of completely destroying Moro.

Duan Lang and the others were on their way back to the camp, and at this moment Lu Mu was listening to the scout's report. Knowing the situation in the canyon, Lu Mu showed a smug smile on his face. His move can be described as extremely vicious, even if Duan Lang wants to shirk the responsibility for killing, he can't find any evidence from Lu Mu. After all, when Long Mu arrived outside the canyon, he saw Duan Lang's army all over the mountains. On this basis, Duan Lang was also speechless. In addition, even if Zhou Wu and Zhang Ruming did not arrive at the canyon, Lu Mu also laid a puzzle. Because the weapons used to kill Wu Batu and the high priest are all weapons of the Great Calendar Kingdom. Unlike the Western Yue, the tip of the gun in the Great Calendar Kingdom was triangular, while the tip of the gun in the Western Yue was flat. From the wounds of the deceased, it can be judged by whose hands he died. What's more, Lu Mu also deliberately left the arrows he shot, and those arrows were also made by the Dali National Military Department.

Man Zhan looked at Lu Mu and said, "Dudu, since Long Mu didn't continue to pursue and kill Zhou Wu's department, will Duan Lang lead his troops to attack Mamaiya City?" ”

Lu Mu said lightly, "This will not happen, the death of the prince and the high priest will also be a great blow to Duan Lang." Duan Lang sent troops to Moro, and his real intention was for us to go west. Therefore, Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue also want to negotiate peacefully to preserve their strength. Originally, I thought that the martial arts would start a fierce battle that week, and maybe even Long Mu would be damaged in this battle. It seems that Zhou Wu was afraid that we would kill back, so he didn't start a shopping campaign. I guess that at this time, Long Mu returned to the city of Mamaia, and was thinking about how to report the matter to Vupor Khan. ”

"Lord Dudu, do you think that Wupol Khan will be angry and order to kill Long Mu." Fang Guchao asked.

Lu Mu shook his head, "I'm afraid that after Wupol Khan received the news, the first thing he felt was shock. For him, the death of a high priest is nothing, and even if the crown prince is killed, it will not break the inheritance of the Moro Kingdom. However, in doing so, the hope of peace talks will be completely extinguished. Vupor Khan was most worried about Jiangshan Sheji, not angry at the two people who died. If the Pontus Governor had predicted well, he would have issued a letter of state, telling his subjects to rise up and fight back. Otherwise, the 200,000 troops of the Northern Ming Dynasty would be killed in the city of Yaks, and the throne of Vupor Khan would be in jeopardy. ”

"Lord Governor, what should we do?" Man Zhan asked.

Lu Mu thought for a while, "Come on, send scouts to Mamaia City, and inform Long Mu that our army is currently fifteen miles west of Duan Lang's department. Presumably, the dragon herd will ask our army to go back and help defend the city of Mamaia. In addition, they sent people dressed in civilian clothes to immediately send the letter to the Xiyue border secret station, and they knew what to do. ”

Lu Mu said and took out a letter sealed with fire paint, Man Zhan took it, and hurriedly arranged for his shrewd subordinates to go to the Xiyue border pass to deliver the letter. This letter Lu Mu was addressed to Zhou Zhongde, the lord of Xiyue, in which he stated the pros and cons and again implored the lord to send troops to Moro. In the current situation, Xiyue and Moro can be said to be closely interdependent. If Moro was completely defeated, Lu Mu knew that no one would be able to stop Duan Lang's dominance. With Xiyue's own strength, once they broke away from the Two Realms Mountain Tianxuan, they couldn't stop Duan Lang's army at all. Lu Mu knows the importance of the current situation, and only by provoking the two lords of the two countries to break through the cauldron can he stop Duan Lang's hegemonic footsteps. Otherwise, if Moro is defeated, Xiyue will definitely be in danger.

In the city of Mamaia, the Moro soldiers were grief-stricken one by one. Long Mu, who came to his senses, locked himself in the government alone, his eyes glazed and he didn't know how to report the matter to the lord of the country.

Long Mu never dreamed that Duan Lang would be so vicious, even if he refused to negotiate peace, it was said that there was no need to kill the unsuspecting sacrifice and the prince. As the emperor of the Great Calendar Kingdom, this kind of behavior will also make the world laugh. In Long Mu's eyes, Hu Tu and the crown prince did indeed die in the hands of Duan Lang. Because he rushed to the canyon in time after receiving the order, it was impossible for anything else to happen in such a short time. It was only when they were surrounded by a large army that Hutu and the prince would be killed so quickly. Otherwise, two hundred iron-blooded guards can at least hold out until they arrive.

Long Mu unfolded the parchment and, with trembling hands, began to write down the incident. He didn't know what the lord Vupor Khan would do with him, but Long Mu didn't care about that anymore. He even thought about it again, should he lead all the soldiers and horses to fight Duan Lang to the death. Even if you die in battle, it is much better than being beheaded by the order of the lord of the country. At least, as the commander of the Moro army, he was killed in battle, not in the name of a criminal minister.

In Duan Lang's camp, Zhang Ruming and Zhou Wu's subordinates have returned. Zhou Wu sent scouts to keep a close watch on the soldiers and horses of Moro from coming desperately. Although Zhou Wu didn't care that Long Mu would lead his troops to come, he was worried that Lu Mu of Xiyue would take the opportunity to outflank him. Especially today's combat effectiveness of Moro also made Zhou Wu feel a little surprised. In the short battle outside the canyon, the soldiers and horses under Zhou Wu actually killed and wounded nearly 2,000 people.

Zhang Ruming was angry, and walked back and forth at the gate of the camp and kept scolding Lu Mu. Such a trap made Zhang Ruming feel very aggrieved, he would rather kill Nawu Batu by himself than carry this black pot for others.

While Zhang Ruming was cursing, the guards on the lookout tower shouted loudly, "Lord Shangguan, General Zhou Wu, Duan Shuai, they are back." ”

When Zhang Ruming heard this, he quickly looked outside the camp. After a while, Duan Lang and his entourage came to the camp gate. Seeing that the battle formation in the camp was neat, as if it was ready to attack at any time, Duan Lang couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"What's going on? Is there a hostile attack? ”

Tantai Mingyue was also surprised to look at the outside of the camp gate, where there were obviously traces of fighting. Even though Zhou Wu ordered the bodies of the dead to be cleaned up, many of the pillars left traces of knives and guns.

Zhou Wu and Zhang Ruming walked out, and before Zhou Wu could speak, Zhang Ruming scolded angrily, "Duan Lang, let's go to Lu Mu's kid." The paralyzing ones are all Lu Mu's tricks. He tricked you into going to Qingshan County to meet you, but he sent troops and horses to attack our camp. Moreover, the high priest of Hutu and the crown prince Wubatu ~ died. ”

Duan Lang was confused, and he didn't understand anything at all. But as soon as he heard that Wu Batu and the high priest Hu Tu were dead, Duan Lang couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.

"What? What's going on, make it clear? Zhou Wu, you say. Yutai Mingyue said anxiously.

Zhou Wu hurriedly told the story in detail, and Duan Lang learned that Hu Tu was not only killed, but also blamed on them. At this moment, Duan Lang and the others understood why they couldn't see anyone in Qingshan County.

"Lu Mu's heart is not dead for this thief, it seems that the matter of peace talks is completely out of play." Duan Lang said coldly.

Yutai Mingyue frowned, and carefully smoothed out the matter before and after. Only then did Yutai Mingyue realize that from beginning to end, none of them had doubted the identity of the messenger. This huge loophole has completely destroyed the hope of peace talks.

"Lang, the account between Vupattu and High Priest Hutu, Vupor Khan must be counted on our heads. I suggest that our soldiers and horses temporarily move to the west to preserve our strength and wait for Zhang Qifeng's arrival. ”

Duan Lang nodded calmly, "I understand what you mean, Moro has admitted this blood feud and is bound to carry out a round of crazy counterattack." I don't care about any of this, it's just that I have this blood debt for no reason, which is really infuriating. ”

There was a chill in his eyes, and he said softly, "It's not certain that he can't carry this black cauldron, Lu Mu didn't do this seamlessly, he just grasped the confrontation between us and Moro, so that Long Mu would be fooled." I think there's room for clarification. ”

Duan Lang was stunned for a moment, "What, do you think that Long Mu will believe us?" Even if he believes, will Vupor Khan be? ”

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, but we have to say what we need to say."

Tantai Mingyue said and asked Zhou Wu, "You just said that Lu Mu's soldiers and horses crossed the canyon, so it means that Lu Mu should not be in Mamaia City at this moment?" ”

Zhou Wudao, "It shouldn't be there, I left scouts behind when I evacuated, and they said that only the Moro soldiers and horses returned to Mamaia City, and they didn't see the West Vietnamese soldiers and horses." ”

Tantai Mingyue's eyes were cold, she looked at Duan Lang and said, "Since this is the case, I suggest that the troops be sent to Mamaia City." From now on, we must be ready for a full-scale war. ”

Duan Lang was stunned, "What, you mean, take advantage of the arrival of Moro reinforcements to completely destroy Long Mu?" ”

Tantai Mingyue shook her head, "Our army is pressing in, and I want to tell Long Mu a fact, that is, even if we want to kill Wu Batu and the high priest Hu Tu, we will not use such means." I don't care about an all-out war with Moro, not to mention that you, as the emperor of the Great Calendar Kingdom, will not do such a thing that makes the world laugh. ”

Duan Lang's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Yutai Mingyue strangely, "Is this necessary?" ”

"Yes, even if the dragon doesn't believe it, the news will change in the ears of Vupor Khan. I can't let Lu Mu plant it so easily, at least, I can plant the seeds of suspicion between them. ”

Duan Lang couldn't help but move in his heart when he heard this, and immediately understood the intention of Tangtai Mingyue. Duan Lang nodded and immediately ordered.

"The order, pull up the camp, collect the materials, led by Zhang Ruming and Zhou Wu, moved to the east thirty miles to set up camp. Zhou Long's department, with the marshal, sent troops to the city of Mamaia. ”

When Zhang Ruming heard this, his head shook like a rattle, "What are you kidding, I have to go to this matter." ”

Duan Lang's eyes widened, "We're here to fight, not to scold the street." If you don't want to be shot like Wu Batu, it's best to follow Zhou Wu. ”

Zhang Ruming was stunned for a moment, "What, do you really want to take Mamaia City?" ”

Duan Lang nodded firmly, "As long as Long Mu dares to fight, Lao Tzu will destroy him." Since there is no hope for peace talks, it will be a scourge to keep this army sooner or later. ”

As soon as he heard that he was really going to fight, Zhang Ruming was honest now. He understands that in the chaos of war, he may become a living target for others. What's more, once the fight starts, troops and horses have to be dispatched to protect him. Zhang Ruming no longer insisted, and stood aside honestly.

The temporary camp was erected, and Zhou Wu and Zhang Ruming marched east with logistical baggage. Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue led Zhou Long's troops and slaughtered Mamaia City.
