On the morning of the twenty-seventh, the last darkness before dawn. With the loud sound of the city gate shattering, the east of Xiangyang City was broken. Tens of thousands of Dayong elite soldiers are about to enter Xiangyang. Under the leadership of Lu Min and Bai Qingfeng, the cadres met with Dayong Baidao at the urn city at the east gate and launched the last effort to defend Xiangyang.

Yuwen Junping rode on a tall horse, surrounded by his own soldiers, and went into battle in person. Capturing the thief and capturing the king, Yuwen Junping searched everywhere for Lan Jing'an's whereabouts. He looked around and didn't see Lan Jing'an, and thought to himself, wouldn't this woman secretly run away when she saw the city broken? used to be a posture of sharing weal and woe with Xiangyang, but he didn't expect to be a deserter at a critical moment.

But he is not anxious, anyway, Xiangyang City is already his, where else can that woman escape? Let's clean up Lu Min's gang first. He had never seen Bai Qingfeng before, in Yuwen Junping's eyes, Lu Min was the backbone of the current cadre army, as long as Lu Min died, the cadre army would be chaotic.

Yuwen Junping commanded everyone to give priority to arresting several senior generals of the cadre army. At the same time, with a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand, he took a careful aim and fired a crucial arrow in the midst of the chaos. The feather arrow roared out and shot at Lu Min, who was fighting hard in the distance.

Just when the melee between the two sides was at its worst, in the morning light, another group of cadres joined the battle like a tide. With the first sound of "Northwest Army!" As soon as it sounded, all the cadres in the battle shouted excitedly, and the cadres in the inner city really felt the joy of surviving in a desperate situation.

And Yuwen Junping, who was in Wengcheng, knew that it was not good, he was now blocked by the front and back, if he continued to break through to the inner city, then the Northwest Army behind would definitely not let him go.

The Northwest Army, especially the Deadly Iron Cavalry, is famous, and the people of Dayong themselves are afraid. In addition, they have been storming Xiangyang for many days, and their physical consumption is not small, so they are naturally not the opponent of the Northwest Army.

Yuwen Junping was still hesitating whether to continue to advance or retreat, but he didn't know which Dayong general heard the name of the Northwest Army and took the first step to escape. The defeat was like a mountain, and with the first timid escape, the fear in the hearts of the people in Dayong suddenly exploded. Everyone seemed to have found their way, and fled together in defeat and outside the urn city.

The Northwest Army left a gap for Dayong's army and let them out of the area of the east gate of Xiangyang. However, as soon as Dayong's men went out, the Northwest Army immediately followed and continued to chase the enemy. Yuwen Junping's men were chased to the bank of the Hanshui River in just two or three hours. At this time, not only the Northwest Army was behind him, but even the cadres who were defending the city also came out.

When they reached the Hanshui River, Yuwen Junping and the others were surprised to find that many warships were missing. Yuwen Junping didn't have to think about it to know that Wu Daoming did it, and he also wondered why he had attacked the east gate, and Wu Daoming didn't show up with his troops, I was afraid that he had already received the news from the Northwest Army and fled first.

Yuwen Junping hated Wu Daoming in his heart and wanted to die, but now there was no way, so he had to organize Dayong's manpower to deal with the cadres again. But once the morale of the army is shaken, the formation is not so easy to organize back, and the soldiers at the bottom heard that the retreating ship was gone, and they were even more frightened, where is the heart of fighting.

At this time, Lan Jing'an, who was still on the Han River, was also experiencing the test of life and death. There were only Bi Luan and Xie Weining's master and servant by her side, and even Feng Shen was left in Xiangyang City by her.

Lan Jing'an also wanted to keep Biluan, but she resolutely refused. Since the last time Yanbo Pavilion had an accident, Bi Luan had secretly sworn that no matter where Lan Jing'an went in the future, she would accompany her wherever she went, no matter life or death.

Lan Jing'an brought out most of the warships in Xiangyang. Before leaving Xiangyang City, she had already conveyed an order that once Dayong was fooled into a water battle, she must lead Dayong's ship downstream to the Han River.

Because Wu Daoming was greedy for merit and did not notify Yuwen Junping, he was not able to hold Lan Jing'an as quickly as expected, but let Lan Jing'an, who let go of his hand, take people to fight and retreat, and supported it for almost a night before Wu Daoming led people to surround her boat.

Wu Daoming knew that under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes, he couldn't directly kill Lan Jing'an. Therefore, he ordered people to use broadside battles, and they must capture Lan Jing'an alive, as long as they keep their breath. Wu Daoming stood on the deck of the main ship, with a long-lost smile on his face.

He worked hard and hard, and finally got the enemy of Lan Jing'an in his pocket. Wu Ziji's revenge, and his revenge for so many years, finally have to be avenged today. Since their Xiao family and Lan family didn't die at the beginning, then let him end them one by one with his own hands!

In the cold wind of the early morning, Lan Jing'an could see Wu Daoming's smug smile, if it weren't for the fact that the arrow feathers had already run out, she really wanted to shoot an arrow through his face. But now she is struggling in the chaos, and she is absolutely unable to get close to Wu Daoming's body.

In order to protect her, Biluan beside her has already made a gap on her body. Xie Weining was stronger than Biluan, but he gradually got injured. Yin Quan had the best martial arts, but instead he became the target of the siege and was the most seriously injured.

Lan Jing'an's right arm was also slashed, but she held her long sword and didn't let go, and the blood flowed down her hand to the sword and mixed with the enemy's blood. Despair gradually rose in her heart, and it seemed that she was about to lose her word to Brother Qingyun.

Under the rising sun, everyone in the Han River heard the continuous sound of horns, which was the horn of Dayong's retreat. Everyone who was still fighting was startled by this horn, and the soldiers who were fighting against the cadres all stopped and turned around to look at the warship where Wu Daoming was.

Wu Daoming was shocked, it couldn't be the reinforcements of the cadre army, right? If this is really the case, it will be dangerous to take someone to chase Lan Jing'an and leave Yuwen Junping behind.

Before he could think about it, the ships of the cadres began to shout: "The Northwest Army is here!" The Northwest Army is here to save us! And I don't know who in the cadre army was the first to shout, but soon the Dayong people who fought against the cadre army also heard the cadres shouting everywhere: "God bless the great commander, and to go against the great commander is to go against God!" ”

Wu Daoming gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the Qianjun, catch Lan Jing'an first!" But his lieutenants obviously realized what was happening, and hurriedly said to Wu Daoming: "General, I'm afraid the Northwest Army is really here." If we don't go back to save King Ruyang and them, I'm afraid they will be in danger. ”

Wu Daoming insisted that he must catch Lan Jing'an first, and the Dayong soldiers followed the order and did not dare to relax their attack on Lan Jing'an and others. But after all, everyone has a trace of fear in their hearts, not only afraid of the Northwest Army, but also remembering Lan Jing'an's proverb, if she doesn't hurt her, there will really be a punishment from heaven, right?

Lan Jing'an and the others took advantage of the hesitation of the Dayong soldiers, and they struggled desperately. She also ordered everyone to retreat to Xiangyang City as much as possible. Before the two sides could see each other, another small boat sailed out of Xiangyang City. It turned out that Bai Qingfeng and others had freed their hands and rushed to rescue Lan Jing'an.

Now, whether Wu Daoming is willing to admit it or not, he can no longer control the situation. If he insisted on arresting Lan Jing'an and led to the destruction of more than 40,000 people led by Yuwen Junping, the price was too great, and he couldn't explain it to the rest of the army, and at the same time, he didn't know what Emperor Yankang Yuwen Moyuan would think and how he would punish him.

Wu Daoming frowned, and gave an order helplessly: "Leave two boats to continue to attack Lan Jing'an, if you can't catch people within an hour, you will retreat to Fancheng." The rest of the men immediately went with me to support the king of Ruyang. ”
