After nightfall, the wind is strong in the steppe.

The clouds that remained during the day were all carried away by the night breeze, and the bright moon and stars in the nine heavens showed their full face.

The night light is bright, and the grass under the night sky is even more tender and green.

This is the camp of the Great Army of the West.

In the arched tent in the far corner of the enemy, King Wuwei was meeting with Shi Xiadong, the head of the Hanging Mirror Division, to greet him.

Several guards followed, their eyes glancing at the figure in the depths of the tent from time to time.

The man's face was covered with white hair, only a pair of vicissitudes of life were exposed, and the bare hands were all stained with rich white hair, looking like an uncivilized savage ten thousand years ago.

But there was no unusual look in the eyes of these guards.

Because this 'wild man' was exactly what they caught back at the beginning, and later Hou Ye personally rescued it, everyone knew that the so-called wild man monster turned out to be a living person.

This is the forward general of the Red Flame Army, Nie Feng.

Lu Ze looked at Xia Dong, who had a gloomy expression and wanted to stop talking, and chuckled: "I heard that His Majesty the Emperor of Jinling City has begun to plan to abolish the Hanging Mirror Division, if Lord Xia Dong has no plans, he can come to my Western Territory Army to get a good job." ”

Xia Dong let go of her husband's hand, raised her head slightly, and looked directly into Lu Ze's eyes: "Xia Dong's life can be handed over to King Wuwei, but... My husband's life is not good, he is a person who died once, and his body is weak, how can he do things for the Western Army? ”

Lu Ze shook his head: "When I first caught him back, it took a lot of effort, General Nie Feng was delirious, but his strength was infinite. Now that he has controlled the fire and cold poison in his body, this king still has a way to restore General Nie's combat strength to his peak. ”

Xia Dong said coldly: "What is the price?" ”

Lu Ze's eyes looked at the ill-fated couple calmly: "The price is that he needs to do something for the Western Frontier Army." ”

Lu Ze looked at Nie Feng, who looked very scary: "The Red Flame Army was framed by Xia Jiang and Xie Yu, and the main culprit Xia Jiang fled to the territory of Dayu, and it was this king who sent Xia Jiang back to Jinling City, this is a love; Nie Feng was delirious and wandered away from the mountains, and this king personally healed the poison of fire and cold, sobered his senses, and let you see each other as a husband and wife, which is another love; I let Nie Feng participate in the battle against Beiyan, and I didn't let him fall into the difficult situation of opposing those old people of Red Flame in Jinling City, this is the third love. ”

"Three favors, this king wants Nie Feng to work hard for the Western Frontier Army."

"Isn't that enough?"

Nie Feng didn't speak, he just got up slowly, nodded to Lu Ze, and at the same time fiddled with simple gestures.

His meaning was clear - it was enough.

Xia Dong's eyes turned red instantly, she didn't expect that one day she would be able to see her long-dead husband, but the joy of reunion only lasted for a short time, and the two were now separating again.

"Brother Feng, no matter what, I will accompany you this time."

Nie Feng shook his head firmly.

Xia Dong is also anxious to convince her husband.

Neither husband nor wife backed down at this time.

Lu Ze silently watched the husband and wife arguing over this matter, and did not speak.

The reason why he went to great lengths to save Nie Feng in the first place was to use this Red Flame veteran in the war against Beiyan.

Compared with Dayu, the strategic depth of the Western Frontier Army, Lu Ze's interest in the land of Beiyan is not so great, and quietly entering Beiyan to destroy major strategic points is the ultimate goal of Nie Feng's group, and Lu Ze wants to light a fire behind Beiyan.

It took a long time for Xia Dong to stop crying.

She is a woman with a strong temperament, but she has experienced too many things over the years, and it is difficult to hide her emotions after seeing her deceased husband.

"What King Wuwei just said is very right, my husband and wife have nothing to say, you want my husband to work for the Western Frontier Army, this is reasonable."

"But as Nie Feng's wife, I was also an old acquaintance with the prince when I was in Jinling City, so I wanted to ask the Hou Ye here in person, is Nie Feng's actions in Beiyan a mortal situation?"

Lu Ze shook his head: "I can't talk about death, but it's certain that I will die for a lifetime." ”

After a while, Lu Ze walked out of the tent.

The night sky is gorgeous and colorful, as if a beautiful picture of nature is spread over the heads of the world.

Lu Ze looked to the south and whispered, "Mei Changsu, happy cooperation." ”

.......

The Western Army's attack on the Northern Yan intensified.

The first battle was shocking.

The destruction of the 50,000 Northern Yan Iron Cavalry inevitably had a huge impact on the battle situation of Northern Yan.

Offense and defense are completely disfigured.

The overall strategy of Northern Yan at the moment was to focus on defense, and the army was based on the city, and launched an offensive and defensive battle with the Western Army, so as to consume the food and grass materials of the Western Army from the trek, and wanted to make King Wuwei retreat.

Abandon the fighting conquest on the plains and start a defensive battle.

This is undoubtedly a move to promote shortcomings and avoid strengths for the unparalleled Beiyan Iron Cavalry on the battlefield.

But there is no way.

The Northern Yan Iron Cavalry, which was regarded as a treasure by Emperor Yan and the Marquis of Threshold, now only has 80,000 left, and it is impossible for Northern Yan to use the Treasure Iron Cavalry at will before the best way to deal with the mysterious and powerful crossbow of the Western Territory Army has not been developed.

Black clouds crush the city.

Spring thunder sounds from time to time, but often no rain falls, this kind of weather makes people want to scold their mother.

If it rains, it rains quickly, and it's so gloomy all day long, and it's not in a good mood.

This is an important city in the west of Beiyan, Juyu City.

The Beiyan sergeant on the city wall looked at the big tent of the Western Frontier Army faintly visible in the distance, and scolded in a low voice: "Damn, this group of guys from the west, why are they all fighting so ruthlessly, and they are all rushing up without their lives." ”

The continuous attack for more than ten days made the Beiyan soldiers physically and mentally exhausted.

The Western Frontier Army is like a siege game, after the battle from the border began, it began to go down the Northern Yan city one by one, and the most aggrieved place in the Northern Yan is that the army in the rest of the territory does not dare to rush to the aid of Bao Jiao.

"Last time, there were 7,000 garrison troops in Yucheng who went out of the city without permission, but they were dumplings by the Western Frontier Army, and less than 100 people fled back."

"Could it be that King Wuwei is really the reincarnation of the gods? Otherwise, how can you win a hundred battles in a war? I heard that the surrender army on the other side of Dayu..."

The soldier's words grew quieter.

General Beiyan, who was patrolling the city wall, glanced at the soldiers on the city tower with a cold gaze: "Next time, let me hear you discuss what you have and whether you have it or not, all of them will be given to Lao Tzu to eat the military whip." ”

The soldiers were silent.

During this time, the morale of the Northern Yan Army was inevitably a little low.

Because after the defeat in the first battle, the Beiyan soldiers actually wanted to get back to the field, and they were all holding back their anger, but the order from above was to defend the city and not go out, and the officers defending the city were inevitably a little physically and mentally exhausted.

Northern Yan is a belligerent country, and this warlike reputation has been built by hundreds of years of battles.

Now he is simply beaten as a turtle by others, and he is really aggrieved.

The rain has not yet fallen.

The offensive of the Western Frontier Army changed every day, and finally on the 14th of June, the Western Frontier Army launched a general attack on the giant city, and the roars were endless, and the ferocity of the western soldiers reached the extreme point of this period of time, and finally they were ruthless to take down the heavy city in front of them, and there were even Western soldiers on the east side to attack the city.

- Bang!

Suddenly, a violent sound rang in the ears of the soldiers on both sides of the war, and the earth seemed to tremble.

From time to time, the soldiers of Beiyan who were in a trance were shot by random arrows and pierced through the chest by spears on the ladder.

Because the loud noise came from the north.

That was the direction where the Yanyun Plain was located.

Not only Juyu City, the Northern Yan Emperor heard this loud noise, and the entire territory of Northern Yan heard this loud sound that shook the world.

Emperor Yan was originally reviewing the folds in the Heart Cultivation Palace, but this loud noise made the drowsy Emperor Yan wake up instantly, and the old eunuch rushed to report: "Your Majesty, it seems that there is movement from the north. ”

Emperor Yan's expression couldn't help but be a little flustered: "Could it be that the ground is moving?" ”

In ancient times, earthquakes were not uncommon, but it was rare to see such a loud noise that shook the entire territory of Beiyan just now.

Emperor Yan quickly ordered the Heavenly Supervisor to enter the palace, and the old eunuch was firmly telling the emperor that this was definitely not the sound of the earthquake just now.

Emperor Yan's eyes showed a look of horror, and he looked at the Yanyun Plain in the north, only then did he react, what kind of consequences this loud noise would cause, and Murong Qihu, the Marquis of Threshold, rushed into the palace: "Brother Huang, something happened to Yanyun's side, and the Western Frontier Army mixed up with Yanyun's side, creating chaos." ”

"Yan Yun's tens of thousands of war horses... Now they were all frightened and ran away. ”

Emperor Yan instantly slumped back in the chair behind him.

As the emperor of Beiyan, he naturally understood what the Yanyun Plain meant to Beiyan, eighty percent of Beiyan's war horses were raised in Yanyun, and the security over there was extremely strict, but he didn't expect this to happen.

Emperor Yan muttered: "The chaos in my Northern Yan is about to begin. ”

......

Lu Ze also heard this loud noise.

King Wuwei was playing chess with the Marquis of Pingning in the big tent leisurely and elegantly, and from time to time there were battle reports presented, and Lu Ze's orders were quickly issued from the big tent, dispatching all the soldiers and horses in Beiyan, and pulling the music of this Eastern Expedition to a higher tune.

Even if the slaughter of 50,000 Northern Yan Iron Cavalry, this expedition is only a draw so far.

But with this loud bang resounding across the earth, the Western Frontier Army will come to a real advantageous situation, and if Northern Yan wants to stick to the city, it will be a real cocoon, and the Yan Army can only choose to fight for its life.

"Report to the king."

"Giant Castle... Take it down! ”

Lin Yuyin looked at Lu Ze, and he smiled bitterly: "Master Hou, our game of chess should be over, right?" ”

Are you kidding.

Among the generals of the Western Frontier Army, who doesn't know the prince's nineteen vertical and horizontal unparalleled, so no one has been willing to play chess with Lu Ze in the past two years.

Soon, there was a report from the guards that Xia Dong was coming.

Lu Ze said helplessly: "This chess really can't be played." ”

Xia Dong appeared in the big tent in a hurry, and it was only then that she knew what kind of dangerous thing Lu Ze asked her husband to do, Xia Dong looked at Lu Ze, frowned, and said, "That loud noise... Is it gunpowder? ”

Lu Ze nodded: "The answer is correct." ”

Xia Dong couldn't help but worry about his husband who was in the hinterland of Beiyan, and couldn't help but continue to ask: "Dare to ask King Wuwei, where is your secret hand in Beiyan, is Brother Feng able to..."

Lu Ze shook his head and said softly: "There are secret hands and foreshadowing, but they are not used to answer those people. ”

"Nie Feng's mission is to cause chaos in the hinterland of Beiyan, they carry a lot of gunpowder, and if they don't finish it, they won't come back."

Xia Dong's face was bloodless in an instant.

These people are now a thorn in Beiyan's side, how can they come back?

"Before leaving, what I told Nie Feng and them was that after the success, the Western Frontier Army would meet at the Xingfeng Mouth on the west side of Qinzhou City in Northern Yan."

"Starwind?"

Xia Dong quickly looked at the map inside the big tent, and said in a trembling voice: "From the Yanyun Plain to the Xingfeng Mouth, a distance of five hundred miles, how can Brother Feng and them reach it safely?" ”

Lu Ze said with a smile: "Actually, Mei Changsu has laid more foreshadowing in Beiyan. ”

The 14 states of Jiangzuo in the depths of the Jiangzuo League can become the largest gang in the world, and financial, manpower and material resources are indispensable.

And Jiang Zuomeng's biggest trading partner is precisely the Northern Yan in the northeast, and the Northern Yan warrior Bai Liqi who participated in the Nihuang County Lord's Son-in-law Selection Conference is a person from Jiang Zuomeng, which can actually explain a lot of things.

Xia Dong looked at Lu Ze deeply: "You originally wanted to use Mei Changsu's hand." ”

"Yes, Beiyan is not chaotic enough, it must be completely chaotic, so that the army of the Western Realm can bite the opponent to death."

The news that Mei Changsu is Lin Shu is no longer a big secret, Xia Dong and Nie Feng both knew about it.

Lu Ze took advantage of the past feelings of the Red Flame Army to force Mei Changsu to make a move.

This trick is the real trick that will calculate people's hearts.

"It is said that Jiang Zuo Meilang will plan and calculate, but compared to King Wuwei, I am afraid that the Tao is still very shallow."

Lu Ze humbly accepted the praise: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

......

Jinling City Su House.

After Mei Changsu knew that Nie Feng was in danger, he did not hesitate to use his secret hand in Beiyan to ensure Nie Feng's life.

Li Gang waited beside the sect master, and couldn't help but say: "Sect master, King Wuwei's hand is really a bit ruthless, using General Nie Feng's life to force the sect master to make a move, so as to open the gap in Northern Yan for the Western Army." ”

After coming to Jinling City, Mei Changsu stirred up the situation in Kyoto with one hand.

Now Lu Ze is thousands of miles away, but he can calculate Mei Changsu's heart and directly grasp his lifeline.

This conspiracy is too ruthless.

Affection has always been what Mei Changsu or Lin Shu cares about the most.

Lu Ze just handed over a letter, and there was a Red Flame Army bracelet in the letter, and a small strand of white hair, Mei Changsu instantly understood everything.

But he had to help.

"Fourteen years ago, in that battle, there were too few people who survived, and only Wei Zheng was alive among the officers above the generals."

"Now that I know that Big Brother Nie Feng is still alive, I will guarantee him no matter what."

"I even have to thank Lu Ze, at least, he saved Brother Nie's life."

Mei Changsu said in a deep voice: "In this case, all the secret hands of Beiyan should be moved." ”

......

Nie Feng and his party have become complete-stirring sticks.

These people carried the powerful gunpowder in their arms and went south from the Yanyun Plain, causing too much chaos.

Mei Changsu's intervention made the originally stable situation in Beiyan completely chaotic, like a powder keg that had been silent and suppressed for a long time being ignited.

Lu Ze is in iron armor and has a silver gun in his hand.

"This battle, destroy the Northern Yan Imperial Capital!"
