Chapter 312: The Greatest Pride
The weeds are overgrown between the gaps in the stone bricks on the city wall, the spring breeze blows, swaying repeatedly, Tang Zhen presses the hilt of the sword, like a stone sculpture standing on the city wall, urging the people who are repairing the city wall in the distance, the broken wall has been rebuilt half the height, the smoke curls in the city, and the soldiers of the Elixir Division prepare the lunch of the people.
Suddenly, a soldier pointed to the distance and said, "Commander, look, there are people coming from the direction of Nanami City..."
Tang Zhen was slightly stunned, his eyes were far away, and sure enough, the smoke and dust were billowing in the distance, not only people came, but also many people came, and the 100,000 troops of Seven Seas City were finally about to arrive in Lanyan City, but they only arrived nearly twenty days after Lanyan City was slaughtered.
"Go and call Lord Xi. β
"Yes..."
Not long after, Tang Xiaoxi walked up to the city wall in a white brocade robe, followed by several captains of Seven Seas City, she slowly came to Tang Zhen's side, and said, "Send a cavalry out of the city to ask where the men and horses are, close the city gate, and don't trust anyone." β
"Yes, Lord Shire. β
Tang Zhen sent the cavalry out of the city to connect, and it didn't take long for the cavalry to gallop over, and he hugged his fist at Tang Xiaoxi on the city wall and said: "Lord Xi County, Tang Zhen Commander, it is Young Master Tang Lu and Miss Tang Wei of Seven Seas City, at the back of the queue, Young Master Tang Tian is escorting Lan Gong over, and the 100,000 army of Seven Seas City is about to arrive in Lanyan City, Young Master Tang Lu asked his subordinates to inform the Xi County Lord, and ordered the Xi County Lord to open the city gate and go out of the city to meet Lan Gong." β
"Tang Lu and Tang Wei?"
Tang Xiaoxi pursed his red lips, his eyes flashed with instability, and said: "Tang Zhen, pass the order to go down, seal all the gates of Lanyan City, send heavy troops to guard them, and prohibit any imperial army or volunteers from entering Lanyan City." β
"Ah, County Lord?" Tang Zhen looked stunned and said, "Isn't this good? After all...... We are all soldiers of Seven Seas City, and Lan Gong personally led the army of Seven Seas City to reinforce Lanyan City, so it is okay not to go out of the city to greet us, why do we have to close the city gates?"
Tang Xiaoxi said lightly: "There is only one master in Lanyan City, her name is Qin Yin, unless Qin Yin comes to Lanyan City in person, I will not hand over the Zetian Temple to anyone, Tang Zhen, don't forget, this Lanyan City was recaptured from the Yihe Kingdom at the cost of the lives of more than 10,000 soldiers, and now, I am the master of Lanyan City." β
"Yes, the Admiral understands..."
Tang Zhen wanted to speak and stopped, and after a few seconds, he hugged his fists and said, "The last general is willing to follow the county lord and swear to the death..."
"Alright, let's go and give the order..."
"Yes..."
......
The gate of Lanyan City was closed, and Tang Xiaoxi stood on top of the city with his clothes fluttering, watching from a distance as the people and horses of Seven Seas City gathered in the distance.
Half an hour later, nearly 30,000 Seven Seas City army lined up outside the city, and two generals riding white horses galloped over, which were Tang Lu and Tang Wei, which made Tang Xiaoxi somewhat uneasy, Tang Lan had three sons, the eldest son was Tang Xiaoxi's deceased father, the second son Tang Jin, Tang Jin had three children, the eldest son Tang Bin was killed by Lin Muyu in the Dragon Hunting Forest, the second son Tang Lu, and the daughter Tang Wei were the two under the city.
Tang Lu, dressed in silver armor, had already recognized Tang Xiaoxi, rode out, and said, "Xiaoxi, hurry up and open the city gate, grandpa's horse team is about to arrive, what are you waiting for?"
Tang Xiaoxi approached the city wall, smiled slightly, and said, "Please ask the second brother and the younger sister to go back and tell Grandpa SΓΉ that Lanyan City has just suffered from the slaughter of the city, and there is no stability in the city, so it is not suitable for garrisoning a large army, so please grandpa just garrison the city of the Seven Seas outside the city." β
"Xiaoxi, what do you mean?" asked Tang Lu with a frown.
"It doesn't mean anything. β
Tang Xiaoxi smiled: "Second brother, look at the two sides outside the city wall, what is it?"
Tang Lu's eyes swept and said lightly: "Mountains of corpses, so what?"
Tang Xiaoxi snorted: "Second brother, do you also know that it is a corpse? Then do you know why these people are reduced to corpses? That's right, it's because the army of Seven Seas City has been delayed for a long time, if the 200,000 horses of Seven Seas City pour out, as it is now, these people will not die, Chu Huaiwei will not die, Qin Lei will not die, and Mu Mu will also ...... Won't die. β
"What nonsense are you talking about?..."
Tang Lu said with an awe-inspiring gaze: "Seven Seas City is the foundation of our Tang family, the Yihe country is powerful, even if we come out of the nest, we will just hit the stone with an egg, Xiaoxi, hurry up and open the city gate, otherwise I will ......"
"Otherwise, what are you going to do?" Tang Xiaoxi's beautiful eyes showed a chill.
"Otherwise, I'll set foot on this ruined city..."
Tang Lu raised his spear high and shouted: "Soldiers on the city, you are all soldiers of my Tang family, have you forgotten the iron training of the Tang Gate?
But the soldiers in the city were motionless, and no one even looked at Tang Lu.
Tang Xiaoxi couldn't help laughing: "Second brother, don't bother thinking in vain, they are soldiers of the Tang family, but before this, they are first and foremost soldiers of the empire, not everyone is rebellious and wants to ascend to this throne, you go back and tell Grandpa SΓΉ, unless Xiao Yin returns to Lanyan City, I will not open the city gate to release any troops, if you want to enter the city, come and attack... Archers, get ready..."
"Brush Brush ......"
A row of archers pulled their longbows apart and aimed at Tang Lu, Tang Wei and others under the city.
Tang Lu has been pampered and arrogant since he was a child, how could he have suffered this kind of humiliation, and said with a cold face: "Okay...... Well done... As a member of my Tang family, you dare to aim your bow at me...... Okay, you're a Tang Town, my lord remembers you..."
Tang Zhen hugged his fists on the city wall, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry Second Young Master, the last general will be dispatched by the Tang Gate Iron Order, and I am currently only loyal to the Xijun Lord, not to mention, I, Tang Zhen, am an imperial soldier, and my loyalty to the empire is unswerving..."
"Phew..."
Tang Lu raised his spear and said, "Come on, prepare the catapult... Attack the city for the master..."
On the side, Tang Wei hurriedly grabbed Tang Lu's arm when she saw that the situation was not good, and said, "Brother, don't mess around, go back and tell Grandpa SΓΉ about the situation here, if we really start a war with Xiaoxi, I'm afraid it will ...... I'm afraid it's going to get out of hand......"
"Hmph..."
As soon as Tang Lu gritted his teeth, he turned around and left, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
......
Amid the sound of horses' hooves, Tang Lu and Tang Wei returned to the Chinese army camp with pale faces, and saluted Tang Lan from afar: "Grandpa, Lan Yancheng is not willing to open the city gate to welcome the Seventh Navy. β
"What's going on?" Tang Lan's face was pale, trembling in the evening breeze, wrapped in his robe and armor, and said, "Aren't Xiaoxi and Tang Zhen already in Lanyan City?"
"Hmph, that girl and Tang Zhen have already committed treason..."Tang Lu said coldly: "Even Xiaoxi ordered someone to shoot me with a bow and arrow, forcing us to leave the city wall, and I was angry..."
"Treason?" Tang Lan smiled: "Xiaoxi secretly dispatched the army of the Tang Town battalion, and called on the demon clan to protect it, and took a huge Lanyan City from the hands of the Yihe Kingdom, if this is considered treason, then we are all national thieves." β
"Grandpa, ......" Tang Lu couldn't figure out Tang Lan's thoughts, and said: "Grandpa, now it's Xiaoxi, a disobedient descendant of the Tang family, who is preventing us from entering Lanyan City..."
Tang Lan sighed and said, "What did Xiaoxi say?"
Tang Wei blinked her eyes and said, "Sister Xiaoxi said that unless Her Royal Highness Qin Yin comes in person, she will not open the gate of Lanyan City, this Lanyan City can only belong to Qin Yin, not to anyone else." Therefore, she asked her grandfather to station the army of Seven Seas City outside the city, and after waiting for His Royal Highness Yin to return to the city, she would naturally accept the army of Seven Seas City. β
"That's ......"
Tang Lan frowned, waved his hand and said: "Tang Lu, Tang Wei, you two go and arrange for camping outside the city, since Xiaoxi doesn't come to welcome me, an old man, into the city, then let's wait outside the city..."
"Yes..."
Tang Lu and Tang Wei rode away, Tang Lan sighed and was silent.
On the side, a military general with a face shrouded in a cloak smiled slightly and said: "What a joke, the granddaughter occupied the city, but did not let the grandfather enter the city, it is really a strange story through the ages, but ...... It seems that Duke Lan is not angry with Tang Xiaoxi, why is this?"
Tang Lan turned to look at him, and said with a faint smile: "General Xiang still can't see it? All the sons of the Tang family are mediocre people, except for Xiaoxi, although she is a daughter, she dares to act, the Boxer Kingdom has nearly 500,000 troops surrounding Lanyan City, who in the world dares to contend with it, only me, the disobedient granddaughter Xiaoxi, has the courage to stand up and fight with Ji Yao, Long Qianlin, Ding Xi and other famous generals without defeat. β
The mysterious general smiled slightly and said, "This is a fact, in the entire Tang Sect, only Tang Xiaoxi is the most courageous." β
"So it's ......"
Tang Lan sighed and said with a smile: "Even if Xiaoxi does something disobedient, I can't be angry with her, she is my Tang Lan's greatest pride, and she is also the only hope for our Tang Sect." β
"That'...... What is Lan Gong going to do now? Just stationed outside Lanyan City?"
"Nope. β
Tang Lan's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said: "The Boxer Kingdom has taken most of the territory of the empire with the momentum of swallowing whales, but now it is the end of the crossbow, they can only retreat again and again, the army of Dusk Rain City in Yunzhong Province has also been out of the customs, we can't wait, we don't have time to wait, we must take more land before Qin Yin sets foot in Lanyan City." β
"Lan Gong is wise, I don't know what I need Xiang Yu to do?"
"I'll give you a team of centaurs, you rush to the Star Province directly south of Lanyan City in the starry night, you must take down Cold Star City for me, and let Cold Star City become our jurisdiction, let's say, how many people do you need?"
"Two thousand iron horses are enough. The corners of Xiang Yu's mouth raised, and he smiled confidently.
"Two thousand?"
Tang Lan also smiled: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the descendant of the military god Xiang Wentian, this arrogance is indeed not something that ordinary people can have, then the old man will give you three thousand iron horses, and you must recover the entire territory of Cold Star Province within three days, can you do it?"
"Yes, the last general commands..."
