Clang!

One of the officers and soldiers of the commander of the commander suddenly split the huge tree smashed downwards with a horizontal knife, and then he jumped to the city wall, his body is very vigorous, his strength is not small, he is a good commander, but unfortunately, when he crossed the city, Yuan Hao arrived with dozens of spear warriors, without Yuan Hao's shot, dozens of spearmen stabbed out the spears in their hands at the same time, and the commander fell to the ground with more than 20 shots in his body, and his eyes showed unwillingness.

With the first one, there will be a second, and then many soldiers climbed to the city wall one after another, but they were all killed and retreated by the pikemen led by Yuan Hao, and the officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Wu Haotian frowned, and said again: "Pass my order, the third echelon will come forward to attack the city!" ”

"General, it's past noon, is it going to be another battle tomorrow?"

Wu Haotian vetoed: "No, it's a pity to withdraw from the army now, our previous efforts will be in vain, pass the order, and the third echelon will fight." ”

"No."

The third echelon is the same as the soldiers of the second echelon, 5,000 people, 4,000 sword and shield bearers plus 1,000 archers, the assistant of the battle, the archery of the archery, very regular.

Now more than half of the 6,000 soldiers in the city have died, Lu Yang transferred 3,000 elite soldiers to the city again, in fact, he wanted to transfer 3,000 recruits, but he was afraid that there would be a difference, so all the flesh pained took out 3,000 elite soldiers, as long as they can hold the city, the elite soldiers can be retrained if they die, it's worth it!

The strength of the city was greatly increased, and this third echelon of officers and soldiers did not achieve the slightest effect, although many soldiers rushed to the city many times, but they were all killed and retreated by the enemy.

An hour later, Wu Haotian sighed, and finally ordered the withdrawal of the army, because there were not many troops around him, there were only 5,000 people left, and even if he captured it, he would not be able to capture the city, and if he didn't do it well, he would be counterattacked by the enemy.

As soon as the officers and soldiers retreated, Lu Yang left 5,000 elite soldiers to garrison the city pass, and then convened all the officials above the rank of lieutenant to discuss the matter.

Counted. A few days ago, 1,500 soldiers died in the defense of the city, and 5,000 people died in the defense of the city today, and these 6,500 people are all elite soldiers!

In the county office, Lu Yang said: "Lan Guan can't hold it. The king decided to withdraw his troops. ”

Yuan Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, he had wanted to withdraw his troops for a long time, but Lu Yang insisted that he didn't say it, after two days of fighting, he was terrified. If it weren't for the large number of soldiers defending the city today, I'm afraid Languan would have been lost.

Yuan Hao was a little unwilling, and said: "Lord Wang, why are you withdrawing the army, isn't our city well guarded, I think the officers and soldiers will not be able to break the city in a short time." ”

Lu Yang smiled bitterly twice and said, "I just saw that our city gate has been damaged, if we don't retreat, the city will definitely be broken tomorrow." It will be too late to withdraw. ”

Is the city gate broken? Everyone was shocked.

"Report..." A soldier ran in briskly.

The soldier knelt down and said: "Lord Wang, there is movement in the Western Capital, Wang Xu sent troops the day before yesterday and came with 40,000 troops, and it should be less than 200 miles at this time." ”

Wang Xu is here? It's a pity that it's too late, Lu Yang waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to retreat.

"What's the use of coming now, this king is going to retreat, and it's really unwise to consume a lot of troops here!"

Yuan Qiang suddenly thought of something. said: "Lord Wang, what should Zhang Xue and Liao Yun do?" ”

Lu Yang thought for a while and said, "If you give it back to him like this, wouldn't this king be very faceless?" Send someone to tell him, "Give me 20,000 deniers of grain and grass." This king released Zhang Xue and Liao Yun, otherwise everyone would fight to the death. ”

Yuan Qiang smiled: "Lord Wang is wise, we are short of food and grass now, I think Wang Xu will definitely agree." ”

Lu Yang slowly opened a map and said, "This king has decided to go to Beijun, which is only three hundred miles away. Our army can reach it in three days, and the northern county is close to the outer steppes, so it is easy to replenish the war horses. ”

Someone frowned and said: "Lord Wang, I heard that the officers and soldiers of Beijun are extremely strong, and the cavalry is extremely elite, although the region is rich, but after all, we have just experienced a big war, and the last general suggested that we go to Qingyuan County." ”

Yuan Qiang objected: "Qingyuan County is very chaotic now, and according to this, there are more than five hundred miles, which is not conducive to us, I agree with what the prince said, go to Beijun!" We also have tens of thousands of elite soldiers in our hands, so why not be afraid of those county soldiers. ”

After some discussion, everyone decided to go to Beijun at the third watch, and all the generals and lieutenants agreed.

Lu Yang said: "If we want to evacuate to Beijun safely, we still have to plan, Lan Pass can't be guarded, then we won't defend it, burn him!" ”

Burning the city? Everyone opened their mouths wide, this is too ruthless!

"And what about the tens of thousands of people in this city?"

Lu Yang said: "As soon as our fire is ignited, they will naturally run, and after we withdraw, we will block the west city gate, and the people will not be able to escape from the west city gate, they will definitely go to the east gate, and they will also block the officers and soldiers for us at that time." ”

Lu Yang is really inferior to a beast like this, but no one in the hall objected, because they all wanted to evacuate safely, and there was no way out.

Yuan Qiang said: "Then Mingshan official road does not need to leave an elite soldier to block the officers and soldiers?" ”

The official road of Mingshan is the only way for officers and soldiers to lead to Guxi County, which is ten miles long, extremely steep, and has always been a place for soldiers to strive for, but Lu Yang waved his hand at this moment and said: "You don't have to stay, the whole army passes quickly and goes straight to Beijun." ”

"No."

...............

It's the third watch of the night, Yu Yuan Barracks.

"Report..." A soldier shouted and ran towards the Chinese tent.

Yu Yuan was awakened instantly, and then turned over, although he was nearly sixty years old, but he was just as vigorous, put on a robe, and Yu Yuan strode out of the tent.

"What's the matter?"

The soldier pointed in the direction of Languan and said, "General, look, Languan is on fire." ”

Yu Yuan raised his eyes and saw a fire in the sky, how could there be a fire in the enemy city? Was it the garrison of Minglan City who went to sneak attack? Or is the enemy going to run?

Yu Yuan was surprised, and immediately said: "Order the army, immediately pull out the camp and march westward, I want to go and see what is going on." ”

"No."

Two hours later, Yu Yuan led 20,000 iron horsemen to the city of Languan, but at this moment, Languan had been annihilated by the fire, and he could feel the blazing temperature standing a hundred zhang away.

Countless people rushed out of the city, and some of them were set on fire, and the scene was chaotic and miserable.

"This is definitely not a sneak attack on Luyang by the Minglan garrison, there is a time when the thief army is going to run away and is burning the city!"

Yu Yuan made an accurate judgment, but he couldn't do anything, such a big fire, he couldn't pursue the enemy at all, and he could only move forward after the fire was extinguished, but unfortunately, in this way, Lu Yang's thief army ran away.

Wu Haotian said: "Although Languan City is a small city, the fire is endless, I am afraid that it will not be able to extinguish itself in a short time, and the last general recommends putting out the fire immediately." ”

Yu Yuan raised his eyes to look at the sky, he really hoped that there would be a heavy rain now, but this was unrealistic.

In a short time there were no more people in the city to come out, because the fires were completely ablaze, especially in the buildings, and the flames were so great that no one could live. (To be continued.) )
