Above the south gate of Kyoto, a standard commander looked at the outside of the city with a murderous sound. The few guards in the city turned pale with fright. At this time, Xiangguo Wu Guangguang had already left the city, and these grassroots officers and soldiers did not know how to respond.

"Quick, inform the General, they are fighting outside the southern city." The commander of the city guard hurriedly ordered.

Liu Shuguang, who was dispatching troops to the West Gate, suddenly felt a little dazed when he heard that Mokun and Duan Lang were fighting together outside the South City Gate. According to the plan, shouldn't Duan Lang attack Lu Mu's camp at this moment. When Delong heard this, he hurriedly rushed to the south gate with Chu Ti, the squire of the military department, and Liu Shuguang, the general of the city defense.

Outside the West City Gate of Kyoto in Great Xia, since the rocket was launched in the city, the Western Vietnamese battalion immediately prepared for battle, extinguishing all the lights and hiding the killing intention. Lu Mu didn't believe that this fire snake was targetless, and something must have happened. If it is normal to say that the fire snake is from the direction of Duan Lang's camp, but it comes from above the city, it makes Lu Mu a little puzzled. Could it be that even Delong in the city has joined forces with Duan Lang?

After careful questioning, Lu Mu determined that the route of the fire snake should have come from the city head and not from the Duan Lang camp. But no matter where he came from, Lu Mu didn't dare to be careless.

Kyoto is so vast that the sound outside the East and South Gates cannot be heard from here. However, it was the noise of the finishing team in the West City Gate that made Lu Mu a little puzzled.

"Dudu, it can't be that Delong's kid is forced to rush and is ready to go out of the city to fight, right?" Huo Hai looked at the west gate of Kyoto and said.

Lu Mu also felt strange and asked rhetorically, "What's the news of the scouts sent to the South City Gate?" ”

"There was no movement, and no signal was released." The general replied.

Lu Mu frowned. Both he and Mo Kun sent a large number of scouts to monitor Duan Lang's movements day and night, and once the army of Lidu City moved, the scouts would launch rockets according to the direction of Duan Lang's army. Moreover, the rockets released by the scouts are a kind of pine resin, a specialty of Western Vietnam, which emits a bluish light at night and is easily recognizable. If it's daytime, it's to light wolf smoke. One wolf smoke represents the attack on Nanping, and the two wolf smoke indicate that Duan Lang's army is rushing towards the west gate. As long as the warning appears, Lu Mu and Mo Kun will make corresponding countermeasures. However, since the appearance of the fire snake in the city, Lu Mu did not find the signal released by his scouts.

"Lord Governor, are we being too careful? Perhaps, this is simply the reason why Delon's kid is suspicious. Huo Hai said.

Lu Mu looked in the direction leading to the south city gate, and there was darkness and silence in the distance. If Duan Lang wants to sneak attack, he should do it at this moment.

Lu Mu pondered carefully and shook his head, "This rocket in the city is by no means random, something will definitely happen tonight." Order, immediately send scouts, hurry up and go to the south city gate. Respond regardless of whether there is a situation or not. Remember, if Duan Lang's army does not move, release the ordinary pine oil rocket, and don't cause Mo Kun to misunderstand. ”

"No!" Man Zhan agreed, turned around and went to wait for An.

Huo Hai looked at the crowds on the West City Gate, and there were twice as many torches as usual, and couldn't help but say suspiciously.

"Dudu, do you think it's possible that the two Delong brothers joined forces to attack the Nanping camp? In that case, we scouts can make sense without moving. ”

Lu Mu was stunned for a moment, and nodded slightly, "There is also this possibility, after all, their brothers are blood relatives, and they may temporarily let go of their grievances and hatred." But Duan Lang didn't move, and he shouldn't. ”

"The movement inside the city gate has passed, if Delong goes to attack the Nanping camp, it will inevitably increase the defense of the west gate and prevent us from taking the opportunity to attack the city. Governor, do you want to go and help? Huo Hai asked.

"No need, even if the Delong brothers join forces, Mokun can handle it. Besides, this is just speculation, let's wait for news from the scouts. ”

Lu Mu was very calm, and he didn't dare to take any risks until there was accurate information. As the governor of the soldiers and horses, Lu Mu knew that if he was not careful, he would lose everything. A few years ago, in the battle of Lidu City, he was careless and almost buried all the soldiers and horses. The lessons from the past made Lu Mu more cautious. Especially in the face of his old opponent Tantai Mingyue, Lu Mu was both resentful and admired. Facing this strange woman, Lu Mu even had a little fear in his heart.

As the clock ticked by, the sky was about to lighten, and the pre-dawn darkness blurred the surrounding landscape. Outside the South City Gate, Mo Kun's army gradually stabilized its position from the initial panic.

Mo Kun deserved to be a famous military division in the world, and he knew that he must not order a retreat under such circumstances. It is necessary to withstand the first round of frantic attacks of the Lidu army, otherwise once it retreats, the entire army will fall into a rout and flee.

"Order, heavy armor cavalry pressed, lined up for defense. The scout battalion fired signal arrows and asked Lu Mu for help. Mo Kun gave the order as he retreated behind the heavily armored cavalry.

Yang Fakui also pressed up with the left and right cavalry battalions, and in the face of the crazy offensive of Lidu City, Yang Fakui also adopted a defensive formation. One after another fire snakes shot into the air, although Mo Kun and Lu Mu took different measures, but this kind of general signal for help, Mo Kun believed that Lu Mu would arrive soon. is also a wise man in the world, and he believes that Lu Mu will not let go of this excellent opportunity to join forces. What's more, the soldiers and horses of the capital city have an irreconcilable hatred with Xiyue.

Standing on top of the handsome car, Mingyue saw that the Nanping army had completely abandoned the forward battalion and adopted a defensive defense to resist the attack of the army. Tantai Mingyue couldn't help but be a little anxious, she knew that this kind of large-scale battle could not decide the outcome in a moment. If there were no Western Vietnamese soldiers and horses behind them, Tangtai Mingyue would adopt a safe way of fighting, even if they couldn't completely eat the Nanping army, they would be unable to stay from Great Xia. But with the strong soldiers of the West Vietnam behind him, Mingyue could only risk fighting a quick annihilation battle. Otherwise, they will find themselves in a situation where they are attacked on their backs.

"The order, Geng Zhishan led the Gousickle Battalion, and Lu Zhengshan led the Lance Battalion. Pressing in from the middle lane, quickly break through the enemy's heavy armored cavalry, and open a passage for Zhou Long's department. ”

"Order, Wang Fu Heavy Firearms Battalion, move to the right and block the enemy's light cavalry battalion on the right to prevent them from rescuing the heavy armor battle formation."

"The order was given, General Yan Facheng led the chariot battalion to raid from the left and cut off the connection between the enemy's soldiers and horses on the left side and the main camp."

With the military orders of the bright moon of the platform, the herald sounded the horn of different syllables. Geng Zhishan, Lu Zhengshan, Yan Facheng and other generals each led their soldiers and horses to kill each other in accordance with military orders.

At the forefront of the battle between the two sides, Duan Lang stabbed left and right with a war spear, and Gu Fan waved the long knives of the eighteen guards to the sky and accompanied them, and a tacit understanding had already been formed between them. But in the face of the battle formation of the heavy armored cavalry, Duan Lang was also a little helpless. The arms of the killer were a little numb, and he couldn't rush forward for more than a dozen feet.

Hearing the military order horn of the bright moon of the platform, Duan Lang also blew a loud whistle from his mouth, and quickly retreated with Xiang Tian and the others. When Zhou Long, who was fighting hard, heard this, he quickly ordered the men and horses of the headquarters to spread out to both sides and make way for the spear battalion of the Goufu battalion.

Mo Kun didn't see it well, his infantry battalion and crossbow battalion hadn't followed him, so he had to order the light cavalry to press on and deal with those hookers. Mo Kun knew that the hook sickle was the nemesis of the heavy armored horse, and once the horse's leg was cut off, these heavy armored horsemen who fell off the war horse could only become lambs to be slaughtered. There was a lack of infantry battalions, so they could only be temporarily replaced by light cavalry horses.

Outside the south city gate, the soldiers and horses of the two sides fought bloodily, and above the city, Delong and others were even more frightened. Liu Shuguang simply mobilized all the soldiers and horses into the south city gate to prevent the fire at the city gate from affecting the pond fish. even said that the two sides fought fiercely to the end, and Liu Shuguang still wanted to take the opportunity to make a profit.

Outside the West City Gate, Lu Mu was waiting for news from the scouts. But the scouts he sent had already been quietly intercepted and killed by Zhou Hu's army. Just when Lu Mu was puzzled, he suddenly saw a fire snake rising from the direction of the south city gate.

Lu Mu's heart was shocked, this was a signal for help in the war, could it be that Mo Kun took the initiative to go to the south city gate to kill Duan Lang? Lu Mu didn't know the inside story, but he knew that he couldn't let go of this opportunity.

"Command the army, immediately assemble outside the flank battalion." Lu Mu didn't dare to delay time, and immediately gave an order.

The originally dark camp of Xiyue suddenly lit up with torches. Rows of troops who had long been ready for battle rushed towards the flank battalions.

Without waiting for the battle array to stabilize, Lu Mu shouted loudly. "Huo Hai listens to orders."

"Mo will be." Huo Hai clenched his fists and said.

"Pontus ordered you to quickly lead the forward battalion of soldiers and horses to the south gate as fast as possible."

"The last will be ordered!"

"Zheng Bi and Xiao Yugui listen to the order."

"Mo will be."

"Pontus ordered the two of you, lead the people of the headquarters as the second echelon, and quickly go to the south city gate."

"The last will be ordered."

"Full of war."

"Mo will be."

"Assemble the infantry battalion and the bow and crossbow battalion, and march forward after the Pontus governor."

"The last will be ordered."

"Shiraishi listened to the order, and the governor of Pontus ordered you to lead the baggage battalion and immediately retreat thirty miles to garrison to prevent a sneak attack in Kyoto City."

"The last will be ordered."

After Lu Mu's arrangements were completed, Huo Hai had already taken the lead in leaving with the forward battalion soldiers and horses. Seizing the fighter is victory, and Huo Hai can't wait to fly over. The army galloped along the city wall, and after less than five miles, Huo Hai's war horse suddenly lost its front hoof, and Huo Hai was planted at once. In the woods next to it, a troop of soldiers and horses came out.

"Xiyue child, grandpa has been waiting here for a long time. Brothers, kill~! Zhou Hu straddled the horse and carried a gun, and killed the general flag.

The soldiers and horses led by Huo Hai were in a rushing formation, and Zhou Hu arranged a tripping horse rope here in advance. Although there were not many arrangements, it made the vanguard rampage and chaotic. Especially the striker general Huo Hai, who was dizzy and almost trampled by the war horse behind him.

"Don't panic ~ Hold your ground." Huo Hai rolled on the spot and endured the pain and got up.

When a guard saw the general fall off his horse, he quickly jumped down, "General, get on the horse!" ”

Huo Hai was not polite, he had just turned over and got on the horse, and Zhou Hu was also killed. Huo Hai was frightened and didn't dare to take the call, so he kicked his horse and fled to the side. Zhou Hu's army killed too suddenly, and for a while, the vanguard of the West Vietnamese Forward Battalion was killed and turned over. But in less than thirty breaths, the follow-up soldiers and horses were killed, and Huo Hai also recovered his composure from the panic, and the two sides were immediately killed together.

Zhou Hu did not lead many soldiers and horses, so he specially chose the narrowest place to intercept them. Don't look at the Huohai forward battalion, there are a lot of people, but the back is blocked by the front, and they can't be killed for a while.

Outside the South City Gate, the two sides fought fiercely for more than an hour. At this time, the sky had already brightened, and the two sides were still fighting hard. The Mokun army stubbornly defended, and the infantry battalion and the bow battalion also caught up. Although the forward battalion was lost, the addition of the infantry battalion and the longbow battalion increased the strength of the defense of the Nanping army. However, Mo Kun's heart is also bleeding, and the losses of the defense are very heavy, if Xiyue does not come again, I am afraid they can only flee. But this escape, I'm afraid I will no longer be able to stay in the Great Xia Forte.

Mo Kun was anxious, and Tantai Mingyue was also anxious, she knew that Zhou Hu's side would not be able to stop it for long. If the Nanping army does not show signs of rout, it will be troublesome once the West Vietnamese reinforcements arrive.

Tantai Mingyue glanced at the city, looked at the guards in the city who were watching, and Tangtai Mingyue was really angry and hateful. As long as Delong gives the order to fight, no matter what the combat strength of the soldiers and horses in the city is, this will be the last straw that will press their confidence for the Nanping army. But that bastard of Delong was just watching, and it didn't seem to have any intention of going out of the city to attack.

Yutai Mingyue frowned, and quietly commanded a few words to the herald beside herald. The herald turned around and selected more than two dozen guards with loud voices, arranged a few words, and the two dozen guards immediately shouted loudly.

"Brothers~ Kyoto soldiers and horses have blocked Xiyue Lu Mu from coming to the rescue. Kill all the thieves in Nanping, don't let them escape. ”

With the shouts of more than 20 people, the soldiers of Nanping suddenly felt a chill. Above the city, Wu Guangguang and the others, who were watching, couldn't help but look at each other strangely.

Delong was stunned for a moment, and snorted and said, "What a bright moon, this woman is so scheming, she even calculated it." ”

Chu Ti's heart moved, and he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that this Lantai Mingyue is worried that Xiyue will come to the rescue. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks? Is it to give her a hand, or ~? ”

Delong glanced at Chu Ti in surprise, and immediately understood what he meant. DeLong thought for a moment and said, "Yes, the initiative is not outside at this time. Their lives and deaths are in my hands. ”

Delong knew that if the conspiracy of Tangtai Mingyue was exposed at this time, the morale of the soldiers and horses in Nanping would be greatly boosted, and they insisted on waiting for the arrival of reinforcements. When the time comes, the army of Lidu City will not be able to stop the attack of the strong armies on both sides. But Delong also understood that once the soldiers and horses of the capital city were defeated, outside the city was the world of soldiers and horses of Nanping and Xiyue. When the time comes, I am afraid that Kyoto will not be able to be saved. Although Delong hated Duan Lang extremely much in his heart, he had to help.

"Chu Aiqing, you can arrange it." DeLong said with a hint of reluctance.

"I understand."

After Chu Ti finished speaking, he hurriedly walked towards Liu Shuguang. The two whispered, and Liu Shuguang looked at Delong. Delon nodded slightly, indicating that that was what he meant.

Liu Shuguang received the order and turned around to make arrangements. In a short time, war drums sounded above the city.

Thousands of guards shouted in unison, "Expel the foreign criminals and return my rivers and mountains~!" ”

Knock knock knock ~ The drums of war indicate that the army is about to go out of the city to fight. This time, the soldiers and horses of Nanping couldn't hold on. Especially when they learned that Lu Mu couldn't catch up, the Nanping soldiers, who originally had hope, suddenly lost their fighting spirit.

Yang Fakui rode his horse to Mo Kun's side and shouted anxiously, "Master Strategist, it seems that we must evacuate, otherwise, our army will be completely annihilated." Leave Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, Zhao Pingdu still has a lot of soldiers and horses, the commander came to block them, and the military division quickly retreated. ”

Mo Kun's face was cold, "Don't believe their lies, if the soldiers and horses of Kyoto really go to stop Lu Mu, they won't have the troops to go out of the city to fight." Hold on for a while, and this military division believes that Lu Mu will come soon. ”

Yang Fakui shouted anxiously, "Master Junshi, that Lu Mu is not my race after all, and you must not put the fate of the army on them." Ben Shuai led 20,000 soldiers and horses to forcibly block it, and the military division quickly retreated! Otherwise, don't blame Ben Shuai for ignoring the situation and using Shuai Order. ”

"You~ confused, this military division here has the final say, and you must not evacuate." Mo Kun said angrily.

Yang Fakui's face changed, and he reached out and touched the boss tiger talisman, don't look at Mo Kun's official position is higher than him, but Yang Fakui is the commander of the army ordered by the director of the country after all. At a critical moment, his commander Tiger Fu can mobilize all his troops and horses.

"Yang Fakui, what are you going to do!" Mo Kun said angrily.

"Master Strategist, this is the last order of this commander. I can't watch the Nanping army annihilate, you have to leave. Someone came, and all the 20,000 heavy armored horsemen were left behind, living and dying with Ben Shuai. The others immediately protected the military division to evacuate and join Zhao Pingdu's headquarters. Violators ~ Chop! Yang Fakui was furious, roaring and giving the herald an order.

Mo Kun's voice was hoarse, and he even took out the jade pendant given to him by the lord of the country. But no matter what Mo Kun said, Yang Fakui was determined to die at all, and ordered his personal army to evacuate with Mo Kun immediately.

The corners of Mo Kun's eyes couldn't break with blood, but Yang Fakui couldn't listen to it at all. With tears in their eyes, the soldiers forcibly pulled Mo Kun's chariot back and turned around. Mo Kun beat his chest and wept, he didn't expect Yang Fakui, who had always been obedient, to be a bastard to such a point. However, Mo Kun was also cursing Lu Mu in his heart, it has been so long and it has not yet come, is it really as Yang Fakui said, non-my race must have an external heart.

Seeing that the Nanping army began to withdraw, the soldiers and horses of Lidu City suddenly screamed. As soon as the momentum fell, the army was defeated like a mountain, and every soldier understood this truth. But Yang Fakui was furious, howling and leading the heavy armor to block the impact. At this moment, they were purely using their flesh and blood to win time for Mo Kun to evacuate.

Tantai Mingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that the time of half a pillar of incense could basically solve the battle. However, there is also a thrilling battle that awaits them.

Duan Lang broke away from the battle formation and came to the handsome car. Looking at Duan Lang, who was covered in blood, Tantai Mingyue asked worriedly.

"Lang ~ not injured, right?"

"It's okay, a few minor injuries, out of the way. You come to arrange the soldiers and horses, it is up to you whether you can scare Lu Mu away. I need to take a break and prepare for the worst. Duan Lang said and jumped off the war horse and sat down on the ground tiredly.

Yang Fakui's 20,000 heavily armored cavalry was soon drowned in the strangulation of the army of Lidu City. Nanping coach Yang Fakui died on the battlefield, and Tai Mingyue ordered Zhou Long to lead his headquarters to chase and kill all the way, while the rest of the men and horses immediately regrouped.

Looking at the tired soldiers, Tantai Mingyue didn't have time to order to clean up the battlefield, she didn't dare to delay time, and immediately ordered.

"The herald, General Zhang Qifeng, General Huang Zhi, and General Geng Zhishan immediately laid down a defensive formation and refused to defend the west side. General Yan Facheng immediately led the lightly and seriously wounded to retreat into the camp and held high the battle flag in the camp. Wang Fuzhong, General Lu Zhengshan, listened to the order, and led his troops to stabilize the position after pressing. Xiang Tian, put Yang Fakui's body five hundred zhang away in front of the battle array. ”

The generals were ordered to take immediate action. Duan Lang looked at everyone, although this was a winning battle, but this battle was very hard. It can be said that this is the toughest battle they have encountered since the Battle of Lidu City a few years ago.

Duan Lang's gaze looked at the city, he didn't know if Lu Mu would be frightened by the layout of the Mingyue of the Rising Stage. If the decisive battle continues, I am afraid that the whole operation tonight will be equivalent to making a wedding dress for Delong.
