September 25, late at night, Xi Wangfu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Feng Sui summoned the news, waited for the investigation, and looked out in the dark, Xi Wangfu used all kinds of means to pay close attention to the enemy situation in the north and south directions, and with the approach of the Middle-earth army roaring from the ghost side, the atmosphere in Xi Wangfu became more and more tense, and the soldiers and civilians of Fangcheng were ready to fight at any time.

Hu Yanjian led more than 2,000 horsemen of the first army of Thunder to break through the bamboo, with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, rushing to Fangcheng first, and then the troops were divided into two roads, among which Di Luo Bachao led the Zuofu thousand cavalry to threaten the north city gate head-on, while Hu Yanjian and An Beihai led the right house thousand cavalry to attack the west city gate, intending to capture the river crossing pontoon bridge with lightning speed, and intercept the Xi clan control string that was speeding from the west bank of Suotoushui Avenue outside the city.

Ah Changsheng and Feng Hong certainly knew the importance of the more than 2,000 strings that were being withdrawn from the west bank of Suotoushui. There are only 6,000 people left behind in the army of Xi Wangfu, including 4,000 infantry troops, 2,000 horse troops, and there are 1,000 horse troops in the 2,000 horse army who control the strings to go north to explore the enemy's situation, so now the defense force of Xi Wangfu is full of 5,000 people, although a large number of recruits have been recruited temporarily because of the critical situation, but the combat effectiveness is very low, and the auxiliary defense of the city is OK, and the first line of fighting is to send to death, and it will destroy the solidity of the entire defense line, which is useless, so more than 2,000 control strings outside the city have become the key to this battle, if more than 2,000 horses can be successfully withdrawn, It will greatly increase the defensive strength of Xi Wangfu, and may be able to help Xi Wangfu successfully hold on until the main force returns.

At present, the Xi Wangfu does not know how many troops Middle-earth has invested in attacking the Xi people, but according to the report of Mengba, the king of humiliation who broke through the siege of the ghost city, and the garrison of Baitan City and Su Zhi, the Middle-earth army in the north and south directions together is at least more than 50,000 people, and considering the determination of Middle-earth to win, their main goal is definitely not a few cities, but to defeat the main army of the five Xi tribes and the Turks from the support of the Lightning River, so if nothing else, there should be more troops in the direction of the Great Wall of Gubeikou who are rushing forward, Once the Middle-earth army stormed the Xi Wangfu with an army ten times its size, the Xi Wangfu would not be able to resist it at all.

For this reason, Ah Changsheng took a resolute attitude and did his best to defend the Jinkou, protect the pontoon bridge, and ensure that the 2,000 control strings on the west bank of the river could be safely withdrawn to the city.

As a result, another situation that one of the most unwilling to see appeared, the first to rush to Fangcheng was the Zhongtu Horse Army, and the first time to launch an attack on the Xicheng Jinkou, to cut off the pontoon bridge on the river, so the Xi army that had already been stationed at the West City Gate and Jinkou line bravely met the enemy, for a time the drums and trumpets shook the sky, the sound of killing was like thunder, and the arrows were like rain, at the same time, the Xi Horse Army in the city also roared out and attacked the flank of the Zhongtu Horse Army.

Because it was dark night, the visibility was very low, both the offensive and defensive sides were very cautious, and the battle seemed fierce but in fact the contact was limited, mainly arrows coming and going, long-range killing.

The Chinese and Turkish horse army galloped and tired, and did not know the enemy's situation, and the enemy army on the east bank had not yet withdrawn, so there was no plan to swarm up and attack for the time being, and the goal of the Xi army was very clear, that is, to hold the Jinkou, stick to the pontoon bridge, never take the initiative to attack, never kill and lose with the enemy, just wait for the two thousand control strings on the east bank to withdraw safely, everyone will "hula" all withdraw into the city, and strive to win the maximum result at the minimum cost.

Xicheng Jinkou is fighting "hot" here, and the Xi soldiers on the West Bank Avenue are also fighting with all their strength, beating horses and galloping, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves is like thunder, shaking the night sky, whether it is the remnants of the humiliating Wang Department who burst out of the amazing potential to persist until now, or the exhausted and crumbling Mohe Fu Department control the strings, they are all crazy, no one cares about the war horse under the crotch, the moment of life and death, let it out, whoever can reach the pontoon bridge first, who can retreat into the city first, who will save his life.

At the same time, two or three miles away behind them, Gao Hu, Chi Xiaodou Tieyi, and more than 1,000 soldiers of the Thunder Second Army were also galloping wildly, galloping, desperately chasing, and about 500 steps away from the rear of the Thunder Army, the two thousand elite control strings of the Humiliation King also roared, and the sound of the charge tore through the darkness and echoed on both sides of the Suotou River.

Gao Hu heard the trumpet of the charge coming from the rear, and immediately ordered, according to the predetermined plan, the officers and men of the Thunder Army got out of the way, let the control strings of the Humiliation King pass by, and cooperated with the Humiliation King to control the strings, beat the trumpet, and shouted to kill, as if the two sides were fighting fiercely, in order to deceive the enemy in front.

The ears of the Xi soldiers in front were filled with the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, and they couldn't hear the sound of fighting in the rear at all, but the scouts of the Mohofu Department who were dragging behind could hear it, and they also saw the firelight flickering violently, and a "big fire dragon" chasing behind suddenly collapsed, turned into stars and scattered in all directions, and then a larger "fire dragon" was born, accompanied by the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, rushing forward and roaring.

Sudden upheaval, scouts urgently reported to Mohetun River. Mohetunhe's first thought was to ambush the soldiers, in order to meet them, Xi Wangfu preset an ambush on the West Bank Avenue, and then hit the Middle-earth pursuers at a critical moment by surprise, but as he pulled out his horse and left the team, he rode his horse and rushed up the high slope on the side of the road, and when he climbed the heights, he immediately found that something was wrong, the "big fire dragon" in the darkness in the rear was too long, and its strength must have exceeded the previous Middle-earth pursuers, and Xi Wangfu had a thousand controls left since he led the army away, and it was impossible to rush to the west bank to set up an ambush.

Mohetunhe was puzzled, but he didn't have time to calmly analyze and speculate, the killing sound in the direction of Jinkou in the distance continued, the pontoon bridge could fall into the hands of the enemy at any time, and his retreat could be cut off at any time, and the "big fire dragon" in the rear was roaring, and the two sides would soon encounter, and they must be prepared for battle in case of accidents.

Of course, he can also speed up the evacuation, but the remnants of the humiliating army are in front of him, close to the pontoon bridge, and the width and bearing of the pontoon bridge are limited, it is impossible to gallop like on the avenue, the speed of advance is greatly reduced, in this unfavorable situation, if the two armies are crowded together, without fortification, self-disordered, they will suffer, once the "big fire dragon" chasing from the rear is the enemy, rush up with a bang, everyone is done playing.

Without thinking, Mohetun River decisively ordered the soldiers of the Humiliated King to cross the river first, and the Mohefu Department stopped advancing, turned the horse's head, lined up on the spot, and prepared for battle, and then a galloping "fire dragon" quickly turned into a choppy "galaxy".

Almost at the same time, more than 1,000 soldiers of the Humiliation King Department had led their war horses, held torches, trotted all the way up the pontoon bridge, and crossed the river at a high speed, while Meng Ba rode his horse and stood on the edge of the pontoon bridge, turning his head to look at the undulating "galaxy" in the distance, and then looked at the huge "fire dragon" whistling in the distance, and a trace of murderous aura flashed in his eyes.

The "abnormal" changes on the west bank also attracted the attention of the east bank, Ah Changsheng and Feng Hong were standing on the west tower at the moment, the two discussed it, in order to ensure safety, immediately ordered, only after the army that crossed the river first withdrew into the city, immediately prepare to burn the bridge, once the situation on the west bank is not right, immediately light a fire and burn the pontoon bridge, never give the enemy the slightest chance.

Seeing that there was an obstacle ahead, the "big fire dragon" on the west bank suddenly slowed down, the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, and the atmosphere became more and more tense.

When Meng Ba arrived on the east bank, the Jinkou garrison immediately met him and conveyed the order of Xi Wangfu, asking him to lead his army to withdraw into the city immediately.

Meng Ba did not hesitate, a refusal, righteous and stern, I broke through from the ghost side, suffered heavy losses, and was in danger, if there was no Mohefu Department desperately rescued and protected all the way, I humiliated the more than 1,000 horsemen of the King Department had already been wiped out, and now the Mohefu Department is still resisting the enemy on the west bank, life and death are hanging by a thread, how can I leave them behind and escape alone? Today, I swear to defend the pontoon bridge to the death, and live and die with the Mohofu tribe.

Meng Ba ordered that all the soldiers who insulted the king of Su should immediately go to the battlefield, some of them held the pontoon bridge, and some of them joined forces with the horse army in the city to block the Turen, and swore to defend Jinkou to the death.

When the news reached Xicheng Tower, Ah Changsheng and Feng Hong looked at each other speechlessly, vaguely uneasy. Once the Mohe Fur army was annihilated on the west bank, and the east bank of the humiliating royal army lost their minds and swore not to retreat under the anger, the result was bound to suffer heavy losses, and in the end, the Xi Wangfu not only failed to successfully receive more than 2,000 control strings to withdraw safely, but seriously hit the morale of the defenders in the city, shook the morale of the army, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the head-on collision of the "Galaxy" and the "Fire Dragon" on the west bank.

Torches shine brightly, and the sound of drums and trumpets echoes in the deep night sky.

The Mohofu generals unsheathed their swords and wound their arrows, and they were murderous.

At this moment, two people rushed out of the huge "fire dragon", holding the battle flag in one hand and the torch in the other, and galloped over. In the blink of an eye, more than 100 steps apart, the flags in the hands of these two people were clearly visible.

Mohetunhe's eyes widened suddenly, and he blurted out, "Insult the ...... of the royal department"

At the same time, the guards around him also exclaimed, "Insulting the king's army, the army of the insulting king's department, there are so many people who have broken through." ”

Mohetunhe categorically vetoed, this is simply impossible, the defenders in the entire ghost city are only more than 2,000 people, and Meng Ba has already brought more than 1,000 horsemen to kill, so the army in front of him is absolutely impossible to humiliate the army of the king of Xi, nor can it be the ambush of the preset army of the Xi Wangfu, there are no soldiers in the palace of the king of Xi, so the army in front of him can only be the Middle-earth army, the Middle-earth army dressed in the uniform of the Xi people.

The two people on the opposite side were not afraid and urged the horses to approach.

The soldiers of the Mohefu Department drew their bows and were ready to go, just waiting for the Mohetun River to give an order, and ten thousand arrows were fired.

In the blink of an eye, fifty paces apart, under the light of the fire, each other could roughly see each other's appearances, and at this time, Mohetunhe's eyes widened again, in disbelief. He saw two familiar faces, the young and strong men of the Humiliation Prince's Department, Fertile Ye and Meng'an. He knew that Woye was guarding the Songshan Pass, and Meng'an was following King Xi on the expedition to the Khitan, if the Fertile Field appeared in front of his eyes, Mohetunhe could still understand, after all, the Songshan Pass was lost, and it was reasonable for Woye to be captured and surrendered, but why did Meng'an appear in front of his eyes?

Suddenly, Mo Hetunhe thought of a possibility, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the strong feeling of suffocation made him almost breathless.
