The first line of Lanzhou was originally abandoned by Beitang and the commander of Chongyang, but since Bai Shao was ordered to take over the first line of Lanzhou, he was the commander of the Praetorian Guard under the command of Bai Shao, and most of the people in the city also saw the war coming, and fled south one after another.
The remaining people in the city are only thirty percent, even though Qin Zhen on the western front has not yet hit the first line of Lanzhou, but the western front has been breached, and Li Er's western front garrison retreats to the Ten Star City, with the Ten Star City as the center, building a zigzag defense structure, relying on the terrain to resist, the people of Lanzhou, including the Western Front, have begun to panic.
Now Bai Shao led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to be stationed in Lanzhou City, and Beitangqi and Chongyang stationed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Beiliang Fengzhou City, which is close to Lanzhou, in case Bai Shao suddenly sent troops into Beiliang.
Although it was said verbally that in case the Western Front was breached, the Qianxue army drove straight into the hinterland of Beiliang from the rear of Beiliang, but both sides knew it and watched each other from afar.
However, after the first line of Lanzhou was occupied by Bai Shao, the North Liang Road and the right road to the hinterland of Daqian and the two interconnected roads were cut off by Bai Shao, although the Northern Liang Army had a lot of complaints about Xiao Qingchen's retreat to the Lanzhou line, but no one dared to say this in front of Xiao Qingchen, and there was no objection.
It's just that today Bai Shao is still patrolling the city wall according to the old practice, and his heart is suddenly uneasy, he frowned, looked at the location of the western line, and saw the western front side, stratus clouds overlapped, and the cold wind was howling, and there was nothing unusual.
Bai Shao stood on the city wall, did not move for a long time, the deputy general next to Bai Shao looked at Bai Shao, and asked lightly, "General," Bai Shao waved his hand, signaling the deputy general not to make a sound, and after a few breaths, Bai Shao said, "You expel the scouts, thirty miles ahead, fifty miles, and a hundred miles,"
The deputy general only felt that Bai Shao was a little strange today, but then as soon as he gave his hand, he gave the order to go down, that is, to pass the order, and then the city gate moved slowly, and the three teams of scouts galloped out, and within a moment, they disappeared from Bai Shao's field of vision.
Bai Shao saw that the scout disappeared, turned his head, and no longer had the intention of inspecting the city wall in his heart, turned around and said, "There seems to be something wrong today, strengthen your vigilance,", the surrounding city guards are all in a deep voice, Bai Shao nodded and walked down the city wall, the feeling of unease in his heart is still not gone, Bai Shao only thinks that he has recently practiced and gone mad,
The adjutant general followed behind Bai Shao and asked, "General," Bai Shao waved his hand and said, "Today, you are personally sitting on the city wall, if there is a slight mistake, report it immediately,"
Although the deputy general was puzzled, he just nodded and returned to the city wall, while Bai Shao found a teahouse and rested with tea.
The sky is getting brighter, an hour has passed, Bai Shao doesn't know how many cups of tea he has added, he is sitting on the table by the street, his eyes are blank, and between the rotation of the teacup in his hand, not a drop of tea drips,
Suddenly, Bai Shao pinched the teacup with one hand, and suddenly stood up, with a shocked face, he held down the waist knife with one hand, and shouted in a deep voice, "Go,"
He was the first to rush out of the teahouse, and the guards around him followed closely, and Bai Shaogang rushed out not far away, when he met the guards sent by the deputy general,
"General, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are galloping five miles ahead,"
Bai Shao's face was suddenly startled, and he rushed to the city wall with his personal guards.
"General, go to Wuli and find more than 10,000 soldiers galloping towards without raising flags," the deputy general saw Bai Shao running over, and said in a deep voice,
Bai Shao heard that there were only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he was a little sure in his heart, and asked, "What about the scouts that were discharged before," and the adjutant general said in a deep voice, "No one has come back yet,"
Bai Shao looked at it, and faintly saw the crowd surging in front of him, and the smoke and dust were all up,
Bai Shao shouted, "Order, be prepared, those who leave the city without permission will be killed,"
The Praetorian Guards on the city wall were waiting for them, and the rolling stones and sassalwoods had already been placed, just waiting for the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to come to the city.
Bai Shao watched the crowd in the smoke and dust becoming more and more obvious, tightened his waist and crossed the knife, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned,
Although the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were galloping, they were defeated by the remnants of the army, and even the war horses were dejected, they were not running, but fleeing,
These more than 10,000 soldiers, their armor is scattered, their bodies are bloodstained, and they are unkempt, just like beggars.
I don't know if it was a sudden shout, "Look, that's Lanzhou City, Lanzhou City has arrived," and suddenly the remnants of more than 10,000 soldiers were defeated and rushed straight to Lanzhou City like medicine.
Bai Shao saw that the crowd in Lanzhou City suddenly accelerated, and with a wave of his hand, he signaled the archers to be in place, and with Bai Shao's order, the archers in Lanzhou City all took bows,
And the more than 10,000 soldiers are getting closer and closer to Lanzhou City, and the bows and arrows in the hands of the archers are also raised, ready to shoot on their backs.
"General, look,"
The deputy general sighed, Bai Shao looked in the direction of the general's finger, and saw that there was a smoke and dust behind the more than 10,000 soldiers.
"Open the door, open the door,"
Bai Shao just looked at it for a moment, and more than 10,000 soldiers under the city shouted loudly, Bai Shao frowned, snorted coldly, raised his hand, and was about to wave it down immediately, the bowstring creaked,
"Open the city gate quickly, we are the Imperial Forest Army, the Thousand Snow Army is coming, open the city gate quickly,"
"General," the deputy general heard the more than 10,000 soldiers under the city shouting, so he looked at Bai Shao, Bai Shao shook his hand, and said coldly, "Such a small skill of carving insects,"
"But you see, general, their armor is the same as ours,"
Bai Shao glanced at the deputy general coldly, and said, "You can't see through General Zhang's carving insect skills," the deputy general still wanted to speak, and he saw in his eyes that more than 10,000 soldiers under the city were indeed wearing the armor of the Royal Forest Army, and even the war horse was also seen from the size, and he could see at a glance that this was a war horse from the Northeast Horse Farm of Daqian,
Bai Shao said directly, "General Zhang, you are joking with the whole Qian," General Zhang shut up and said nothing.
When Bai Shao's hand was waved down, one person rushed out of the more than 10,000 soldiers under the city, wearing a golden dragon armor, and shouted, "I am the prince of Daqian, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and the deputy marshal of the Western Front Army, Bai Qiuying, who is in the city, open the city gate quickly,"
When Bai Shao and General Zhang heard this, they poked their heads down and saw that the person who was shouting, although he was unkempt, could also see that his face was like a crown of jade, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and the person was the prince Bai Qiuying,
That General Zhang is the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard in the capital, so naturally he has seen Bai Qiuying, not to mention Bai Shao,
Bai rarely saw that the person under the city was the crown prince Bai Qiuying, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, he raised his head slightly, and saw that the crowd could already be seen in the distance.
Bai Shaoxiao shouted, "Sure enough, it's the imperial brother, please wait, I will immediately send someone to open the city gate, but this city gate is sealed by me forward, I'm afraid it will take a long time, and I ask the imperial brother to forgive me,"
Bai Qiuying followed the voice, and sure enough, he saw Bai Shao in armor, and he suddenly knew that it was not good in his heart, and he shouted loudly, "Thank you, Brother Huang,"
Bai Shao whispered those words to the guards beside him, and the guards ran down the city gate with a few people.
Immediately, Bai Shao gave an order to General Zhang of the Praetorian Guard, saying, "Pass my order, the archers are ready, once the Qianxue chasing army behind the prince catches up, and the Qianxue soldiers will be blocked at all costs to rescue the prince, you personally go to the city to choose an open place to house the prince's subordinates, prepare meals and military doctors,"
The lieutenant said yes, walked to the city wall, and began to prepare,
And another lieutenant general, Bai Shao's cronies whispered in Bai Shao's ear,
After finishing the whispering, Bai Shao looked at the henchman and said, "Wait a minute, you go down to pick up the prince," but the word "answer" was extremely heavy,
Bai Qiuying saw that Bai Shao was guarding Lanzhou City, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, and he turned his horse and walked into the Western Front Army, Cheng Luyu looked at Bai Qiuying, and shouted in a deep voice, "Prince," Cheng Luyu, as the prince's henchman, naturally knew the grievances between the prince and Bai Shao,
Bai Qiuying exhaled a breath of turbid air and said, "Pass on the general's order, defend in an arc, with your back against the city gate, to defend against the Thousand Snow Army,"
Cheng Lu Yu responded, Bai Qiuying stood in front of the army, looking at the smoke and dust getting closer and closer in the distance, his heart was desolate, when Xiao Qingchen asked himself to ambush the Qianxue army in Kuifa City, Xiao Qingchen stopped Qin Zhen in Liancheng,
The original plan was seamless, but who knew that Luo Guanfeng, the commander of the Western Front Army who had escaped from the city, had surrendered, Bai Qiuying gathered Luo Guanfeng and his three thousand soldiers and horses together on the way, and according to Xiao Qingchen's plan, he selected an ambush place, and after the Qianxue army galloped over, Bai Qiuying led the army to break the middle, making it difficult to take care of the end, but suddenly Luo Guanfeng turned against the water, and he was defeated.
After the defeat, Bai Qiuying led the army to flee to Liancheng, but the scout found that Qin Zhen led the army to come, and was about to encircle himself with Luo Guanfeng and others, so he led the army to retreat eastward, fleeing all the way, and only these more than 10,000 remnants of the army were defeated in his hands, and that Qin Zhen was even more hateful, not annihilating himself in one fell swoop but eating himself little by little like a cat and a mouse, making it extremely difficult for him to have a hard time on the way, and he never rested at all.
Now he finally arrived at Lanzhou City, but he found that it was Bai Shao who was guarding the city, and his heart was even more desolate, originally he thought that this Lanzhou was in the hands of Bei Liang, and in the hands of Bei Liang, he would also have a way to live, but this Bai Shao was bent on wanting me to die.
Bai Qiuying has already ordered, and the remnants of more than 10,000 defeated soldiers, seeing that hope is behind them, have the courage to start arranging according to Bai Qiuying's order.
The 10,000 soldiers and horses who were waiting for their backs to form an arc defense against the city gate, Bai Qiuying had already seen the Qianxue banner,
Bai Qiuying looked back at Bai Shao on the city wall,
Bai Shao smiled at the corner of his mouth and shouted, "Pass my order, once the Qianxue soldiers get close to the prince, fire bows and arrows to protect the prince,"
Bai Qiuying snorted coldly, lifted the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, and stepped forward, Cheng Luyu also followed closely,
The horse's hooves rested temporarily, and it was visible, under the banner of a thousand snows, Qin Zhen sat across the horse,
He looked at Bai Qiuying in front of the formation, and said with a smile, "Prince Daqian, the game is over,"
