Xu Lin did not rush to return to Zhongdu, but chose to stay on the grassland to gather the remnants of the army, but one of the other people took advantage of the chaos to return to Zhongdu early.

The Dark Guard also has its own military strength, a thousand heavy horses, which is the biggest gain after Lan Yu took over the Dark Guard.

In the situation where the army was defeated and the central capital was empty, the thousand heavy horses left in the middle capital a hundred miles away in Lan Yu's hands were extremely important.

The earth roared.

A thousand heavy cavalry were guarding the city, but there were more than 20,000 people in the middle capital.

Black armor and black horse, dark guard ride.

Ti Cai was originally the personal escort of the chief officer of the secret guard, but Xiao Lie enlarged it on this basis and developed it into a heavy cavalry that was comparable to the Zhongdu Iron Cavalry under Xu Lin's command.

Lan Yu is dressed in a blue brocade robe, although her face is ordinary, but it may be because she has a poetry and calligraphy in her belly. Even if there are a thousand heavy horses standing behind him, they can't hide the brilliance of a blue robe.

The sound of whimpering trumpets sounded over the city walls, and it was particularly desolate as the wind drifted out.

A group of defenders stood out on the layers of walls.

Lan Yu came to a hundred zhang in front of the gate of the Zhongdu City, raised his hand to let the cavalry behind him stop his pace, approached the city wall alone, and said in a loud voice: "I am Lan Yu of Tianji Pavilion, I am in charge of the Northwest Secret Guard under the order of the Grand Governor, where is the guard of the Central Capital? Come to see me quickly!"

Silence.

The guards of the central capital looked at each other.

Lan Yu sat on his horse, his face expressionless.

A moment later, there was a rush of footsteps, and a gray-haired but energetic veteran leaned out of the city.

Lan Yu carried the reins, sat down and paced back and forth on the horse, "Why don't you open the city gate?"

He looked at Lan Yu and shouted loudly, his voice was loud, and he asked rhetorically, "What is Mr. Lan doing here?"

Lan Yu only replied with four words: "Urgent military affairs." ”

The veteran had a puzzled expression on his face and continued to ask, "Then why do you carry a thousand heavy horses?"

Lan Yu said lightly: "Just in case." ”

The veteran surnamed Li Minghuai, who has been in the army for 40 years, was also born in the army, and only sat in the position of the capital commander at the age of the sixtieth birthday, and he was old and respectful. Xu Lin went out to the grassland and specially ordered this person to sit in the central capital. Li Huai is not afraid of Lan Yu's thousand heavy horses, the city defense of the central capital is strong, Hugh said that it is a thousand heavy horses, even if it is ten times more, ten thousand heavy horses can only look at the city and sigh. He was just afraid that after Lan Yu led his troops into the city, there would be an incident, but if he didn't let Lan Yu enter the city, if Lan Yu really had urgent matters on him, he wouldn't be able to afford it in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Huaiyi gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Lan, where is the duty of the general, he didn't see the warrant of the Metropolitan Governor, he didn't dare to open the city gate without permission, and he dared to ask Mr. Lan if he had a warrant from the Metropolitan Governor?"

Lan Yu shook his head and said, "No." ”

Li Huai took a step back, and the two armor soldiers stood in front of him, and said coldly: "Then I will forgive my fate, and I hope Mr. Lan will forgive me." ”

Lan Yu ignored the defenders of the central capital at the head of the city, and walked forward alone, and said in a deep voice: "I entered the city alone. ”

The expression on Li Huai's face changed.

Not long after, Lan Yu had already walked to the city of Zhongdu, and threw a heavy thunderbolt on Li Huai's head lightly: "The Dadu Governor defeated Qinghe, and Xiao Wei's army is marching towards Zhongdu, if you delay the military situation, can you afford it?"

Li Huai's face was cloudy, and he tightly pressed the handle of the knife on his waist, the veteran who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Xu Linzan, a trace of horror flashed on his face, and he muttered: "How can the Metropolitan Governor be defeated?"

Xu Lin personally led an army of 500,000 out of the fortress, Xiao Yu was only a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and he was temporarily recruited by various departments of the grassland, how could he eat Xu Lin's 500,000 tiger and wolf army?

But Lan Yu really didn't look like a person who was a man of false words, which made Li Huai in a dilemma for a while.

Who is Lan Yu? Generally, the soldiers are not clear, but Li Huai is clear, the personal disciple of Mr. Fu, the master of Tianji Pavilion, the future master of Tianji Pavilion, and now he is in charge of the Northwest Secret Guard. Such a promising figure is really not something that he can provoke as a dying old man.

Li Huai waved his hand dejectedly: "Put down the hanging basket." ”

A hanging basket that could carry three people fell slowly, Lan Yu dismounted and walked onto the hanging basket, and the hanging basket slowly rose again, re-ascending the city wall that was nearly 100 zhang high.

Lan Yu stepped down from the hanging basket, stepped into the head of the central capital, looked at Li Huai who was standing not far away, and chuckled: "Old General Li." ”

Li Huai bowed, "Mr. Lan." ”

Li Huai hesitated for a moment, but still stubbornly asked, "What did Mr. Lan say in the city?"

Lan Yu said indifferently: "Naturally, it is true, the Taoist monks built the altar, the winter rainstorm, Xiao Yu diverted the water of the Qing River, flooded the three armies of the Dadu Governor, and now the Zhongdu army has been wiped out." ”

Li Huai's face turned pale instantly, he took two steps back, staggered and almost sat on the ground, and muttered, "How should this be good, how should this be good?"

Lan Yu pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist, "What is good? I have a way out, I don't know if General Li is willing to listen?"

Li Huai, who was already a master of the six gods, was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, and immediately hugged this straw with all his might, "Of course I am willing!"

Lan Yu walked into Li Huai and gently spit out a word: "Descend." ”

Li Huai didn't react for a while, and unconsciously repeated: "Descend?"

Lan Yu chuckled: "Of course it is surrendered, now that the Central Capital is defeated, Xiao Yu is menacing, how can only these 20,000 horses hold the huge Central Capital?"

Li Huai reacted violently, and said angrily: "The old man has been in the army for forty years, and he is deeply favored by the king, and he would rather die than surrender! Not to mention that I still have the 150,000 army of His Royal Highness the King of Jin in the northwest, and it may not be that there is no strength in a battle, but it is you Lanyu, who has been favored by the imperial court, and the grace of the king is mighty, and you actually make such a great rebellion, in fact, you should be punished......!

Before Li Huai finished speaking, Lan Yu had already drawn his sword, and after a flash of blood, a big head flew up.

Lan Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Huai's head, and said with an indifferent face: "The secret guard and the disciples of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion obeyed the order, and immediately cleared the rest of the Central Capital Xu Lin. ”

Before they could even react, some lieutenants and lieutenants were stabbed in the chest by the soldiers behind them, and those gentlemen of the Tianji Pavilion who were usually regarded as guests were even more ruthless, and took people's lives with their hands.

Lan Yu held Li Huai's head in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, killing people one step at a time.

The elite of Zhongdu has been taken away by Xu Lin, and although the remaining defenders of the city cannot be said to be old, weak, sick and disabled, they can only be regarded as ordinary armor soldiers, how can they withstand the sudden attack of the cultivators led by Lan Yu.

In just a few moments, most of the lieutenants at the head of the central capital city had been killed and wounded.

Some people turned around and wanted to run when they saw that the situation was not good, but they found that the way had already been guarded by the secret guards, and as soon as they showed up, they were shot into hedgehogs by the machine crossbow. These machine crossbows were originally made to deal with cultivators, and as long as they did not reach the frost realm, they would never be lucky. After a stick of incense, except for the twenty-three lieutenants who knelt on the ground and asked to surrender, there was no longer a living Zhongdu officer in the city.

Li Huai solemnly led the generals to the city to watch the situation outside the city, but he just gave Lan Yu a chance to catch it all. As for the ordinary soldiers, they didn't know what was going on for a while, even if a few saw the scene on the castle tower, they were either killed by the secret guard, or they lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at it again.

The fight between adults, which can they participate in?

No one dared to move.

Lan Yu dropped the dead head and ordered his subordinates to start taking over the military power of Zhongdu, and the dark guards and the deacons of the Tianji Pavilion acted in an orderly manner, without the slightest hint of improvised intentions, obviously planning for a long time.

As the unfamiliar Shangguan, who was still stained with blood on his body, began to take over the military power, the soldiers of the Zhongdu realized what had happened.

Mutiny!

However, there were occasionally a few waves of armor soldiers who dared to move, and after they were suppressed by iron blood, the city wall in front of the city was silent.

Lan Yu held on to the battlements and said in a deep voice, "Open the city gate." ”

Dozens of Zhongdu armor soldiers turned the huge grinding disc, and the iron rope tightened little by little.

With a dull creaking sound, the gate of Zhongdu slowly opened, like a line of heaven.

The sound of hooves was like thunder, and a thousand heavy horsemen pierced through the city gates.

Lan Yu looked in the northwest direction: "Xiao Yu, the rest is up to you, everyone in the world is watching." ”
