In the twilight sun, a round of blood sun hangs high on the West Mountain, sprinkling boundless aftermath, which looks particularly beautiful and attractive...

Sunset City, which is famous in Dingzhou because of this beautiful scene, is a big city in the easternmost part of Dingzhou, and it is also the county seat of Dongshan County in Dingzhou.

At this moment, Qiu Yan stood on the city wall, looking at the remnant sun above the West Mountain, infinitely sad.

And not far from the outside of Sunset City, there is an army stationed, and the banner is clearly the banner of the King of Eastern Qin.

The king of Eastern Qin sent troops in three ways, led by his generals Li Guangbi, Guo Ziyi and Su Dingfang, and won ninety percent of the land in Dingzhou in just one month, and now only the ancient city of Xihui City, Dongshan County, is left to survive.

And stationed outside the city is Guo Ziyi, who arrived first, who arrived at the starry night last night, and Qiu Yan also launched a night attack last night, but Guo Ziyi was prepared, Qiu Yan lost his troops and generals, and did not take advantage of the slightest advantage, but lost two yuan generals and nearly 3,000 soldiers.

"The king, according to the report from the spies, Li Guangbi, the number one general under the king of Eastern Qin, is also three hundred miles away, and his troops will come to the city in a few days, and the king is asked to prepare early..."

Qiu Yan's number one think tank began to persuade.

"Hehe, prepare early? What preparations should I make earlier, Sunset City is already a lonely city, and the morale of the soldiers is low, but on the other hand, under the command of the King of Eastern Qin, there are many talents, all of them are like rainbows, and their combat power is extraordinary, Sunset City will be the King of East Qin sooner or later, alas, what is the way to go? ”

Qiu Yan smiled miserably, his eyes were bloodshot, full of sadness and helplessness.

"King, I have made an offensive and defensive alliance with Huangzhou, Liuzhou, and Hezhou, can we go and defect, and when the time is ripe, ask them to help the king recapture Dingzhou?" A young general offered advice on the side.

"Retake Dingzhou? Is it possible? The other princes wish I would perish as soon as possible, and that alliance is just that King Yanhuang tried to block the King of Eastern Qin, so that King Gu blocked the iron hooves of King Dong Qin for him Huangzhou, and the fairy of Huangzhou was too busy to take care of himself, so he had the spare strength to help King Lone, and now there is only one way left for Lone, that is, to fight to the death and not retreat, to win or survive, and to lose or be destroyed..."

Listening to the young general's words, Qiu Yan glanced at the man indifferently, and said expressionlessly, but his words were full of sadness and helplessness.

"What should our army do, my lord? Now there are only more than 50,000 defenders in the city, and Guo Ziyi has nearly 60,000 soldiers under him.

"It's hard to hold, isn't it?" Qiu Yan said lightly, there was no joy or sorrow, and it was difficult to guess what he meant at this time.

Lei Heng didn't dare to say any more, for fear of angering Qiu Yan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Lone King has a word to say now, that is, now that the Lone King is in a stormy situation, if anyone wants to leave now, the Lone King will not blame him, entangle him, and send him away..."

"However, if you don't leave, don't say discouraged words, the lonely king must be here to fight to the death with the king of Eastern Qin, who wants to stay with me, if the lonely king wins, he is a good brother of the lonely king, the lonely king treats him with brotherly courtesy, but if anyone disturbs the army's heart, the lonely king will never spare him..."

Speaking of this, Qiu Yanhu glanced at the generals present, and looked at each other, all of them lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly, and at the same time felt extremely ashamed.

"The king, we are willing to stay, fight side by side with the king, and fight to the death with the Eastern Qin army..."

All the generals expressed their attitudes, as the so-called king humiliated the ministers to death, and these generals were all hot-blooded heroes, and they suddenly felt extremely ashamed and expressed their allegiance.

And those strategists only a few people left, and the others all asked to leave, Qiu Yan did not force them to stay, these people did not have the same heart as him, staying would only disturb the morale of the army, it was better to let him go, so as to complete his reputation, and secondly, it also tested that those people were loyal.

……

"Ziyi, Li Guangbi's army is already three hundred miles outside the city of Sunset, and it will arrive soon, what should our army do? From a certain point of view, it is better to attack the city by starry night, as long as you take Sunset City, the king will definitely rely on the general very much at that time..."

Xu Ning, who defected to Li Shimin's good brother and sworn friend with Guo Ziyi, began to persuade.

Guo Ziyi is also young and vigorous in this matter, plus the road is a tailwind, rarely encounters difficulties, and is extremely competitive, as soon as he heard Xu Ning's words, his heart suddenly rippled, and he felt reasonable, so he followed the advice and decided to attack the city.

"Xu Ning, what you said is right, now the morale of our army is like a rainbow, and on the other hand, Dingshan has been defeated one after another, and the morale of the army has dropped again and again, as long as the starry night launches an attack, it will definitely catch Qiu Yan off guard, take Sunset City, and look at Qiu Yan's dog head as easy..."

Guo Ziyi pondered it again and again, and felt that launching an attack tonight would definitely have unexpected results.

And this is indeed the case, but the only thing that is missing is that the military spirit has slowly recovered under Qiu Yan's operation.

……

At night, it was very quiet, and in the city at sunset, there was silence, Qiu Yan thought that the Eastern Qin army would not attack the city, and then attack the city after the army of Li Guangbi converged, leaving only a small part of the troops to patrol, and the other soldiers let them rest, recuperate, and wait for the big battle tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

In fact, as twilight fell, the defenders of the city were lax in their defenses, with only a few men patrolling back and forth on the walls, and the others either resting and sleeping on the side or going back on their own, completely devoid of the pre-war tensions.

"Rustle..."

The soldiers crawled forward and headed towards the city wall, while Guo Ziyi watched the movement of the city wall from a distance, and saw the silence on the city wall, he was a little surprised, thinking that there was fraud, and suddenly he didn't dare to act rashly.

It's just that with the postponement of time, there is still no movement in Sunset City, and then Guo Ziyi knew that he was scaring himself, and immediately ordered the soldiers to launch a surprise attack.

In an instant, under the leadership of Xu Ning, the Eastern Qin army rushed to the city wall and set up a ladder, just like killing in the city.

And the soldiers on the city wall also immediately discovered it, and hurriedly organized an attack, while sending people to inform Qiu Yan, while organizing people to start defending the city.

At this time, Qiu Yan, who was sleeping, was shocked and angry when he heard the news, and hurriedly put on his armor and went to the city wall.

As soon as I arrived at the city wall, I saw that many Eastern Qin troops had jumped on the city and started a white-knuckle battle with the Dingzhou army, especially the first one, holding a golden gun, extremely extraordinary, and everywhere I went, there was no enemy.

"The king, the end is too late, the king is frightened!" After finishing speaking, he stared at Xu Ning, and killed him with a long knife.

On the battlefield, generals against generals, soldiers against soldiers, Xu Ning saw the thunder coming, and when he saw this person's momentum, he knew that this person was extremely extraordinary, and he didn't dare to be careless for a while, and the golden gun stabbed out quickly.

Suddenly, the sword light and sword shadow, you come and go, the golden gun flashes, the long knife dances, the two of them fight equally, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.

Xu Ning's hook and sickle spear technique is extremely outstanding, and every time he stabs out, it is extremely tricky, which makes Lei Heng extremely uncomfortable, and Lei Heng is strong and heavy, and the knife technique is wide open and closed, Xu Ning is not easy to parry, the two are quite martial arts, and no one can help anyone for a while.

On the other hand, the Eastern Qin soldiers, due to the night raid, took a slight advantage, and more and more people killed the city, Qiu Yan saw it, his heart sank, and then a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he drank hard.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Eastern Qin soldiers have killed the city, our army has no way to go now, either live or die? There is no third way to go, only by killing and retreating the Eastern Qin army, our army can live, kill me..."

Sure enough, Qiu Yan's words worked, the morale of the Dingzhou army was suddenly boosted, and the killing became more decisive and vicious, Han was not afraid of death, the long knife kept cutting out, and if he was not cut once, he returned the opponent with two knives, and for a while, the battle became extremely tragic.

And Xu Ning and Lei Heng also fought for three or four hundred rounds, and no one could help anyone, the two of them blew their beards and stared, and they were helpless for a while.

"Kill..."

"Poof!"

The battle lasted longer and longer, and the casualties became heavier and heavier, whether it was the Eastern Qin army or the Dingzhou army, they all suffered heavy casualties, but it was only three hours of the battle, and both sides had lost a single order, and they were killed one after another.

"Stuck era..."

"Boom, boom..."

With a loud bang, the city gate was breached, this time, everything was too late, at this moment, Ren Qiu Yanbai was speechless, and it was difficult to save the army's heart, and the army's heart was suddenly dissipated, and the soldiers fled one after another.

And Lei Heng was also extremely tired at this time, his eyelids began to fight, as soon as he saw that the city gate was breached, the slightest insistence immediately dissipated, he glanced at Qiu Yan, the king of Dingshan, gritted his teeth, and fled outside the city along the ladder with a big knife in his hand.

And Qiu Yan saw that everything was over, and he was immediately disheartened, picked up the long sword, and with a ruthless heart, he killed himself, and his body fell from the city wall!

Finally, after a tragic battle, Sunset City was taken by Guo Ziyi, Qiu Yan killed himself, and Lei Heng fled.

But Guo Ziyi was not happy at all, the battle was really badly wounded, his soldiers suffered nearly 40,000 casualties, killed more than 30,000 Dingzhou troops, and captured 15,000 prisoners, it was completely a one-to-one casualty, he didn't know how to explain to Li Shimin, and he was extremely depressed for a while...
