Li Laohu spit out the last few words with all his might, and then fell on his back on the table, not blinking.

As night fell, there was a suffocating tension in Pingliang City.

After the news of Li Laohu's murder spread, the Pingliang army was leaderless, and the soldiers ran around in panic, as if all order had been lost in the city.

Gusts of wind howled by, kicking up dust on the ground.

In the night sky, the stars are shining, but in the midst of this chaos, they seem extremely powerless.

A young soldier hid in a corner, trembling. His heart was filled with fear, and he didn't know what to do next. Suddenly, he heard a low roar, and when he turned his head, he saw a huge black figure approaching him.

When he got closer, he realized that it was a soldier from the Great Polder Kingdom. He retreated in terror, but the soldiers of the Great Polder Kingdom pursued him without stopping.

The soldier felt hopeless, but at that moment something suddenly occurred to him.

"Surrender! I abandon my armor and surrender! ”

The action of abandoning the armor infected the other Western Xia soldiers, and their movements were like a torrent, sweeping the entire Pingliang City.

It's as if they've found their way and are no longer afraid of the unknown ahead. Their figures stood unusually firm in the night......

The soldiers of the Great Pride Kingdom waved the spears in their hands and rushed forward, as if his figure had melted into the night.

Behind Zhang De, other soldiers followed him, forming an impregnable iron wall. Their bodies shone with determination and courage, as if they were ready to take down the entire Pingliang City!

Zhang De succeeded, and Zhang Chang was anxiously waiting for Zhang De's signal to fight and not to fight outside Pingliang City!

"General Yu, Zhang De sent back the news: there is only one word 'war'!"

Zhang Chang did not hesitate! "The whole army will attack and capture Pingliang! Those who ascend to the city first will enjoy 100 acres of fertile land and 100,000 silver dollars! ”

"Kill!"

"I'm going to the city!"

Outside Pingliang City, shout to kill the sky!

At this moment, there was chaos in Pingliang City, and the defenders of Pingliang City fled from the city wall, throwing away their armor.

Li Laohu is dead, and there is no need for them to fight hard!

Zhang Chang led the Pingliang Army, all the way like a bamboo! Zhang Chang's troops, with Zhang De's assistance, divided their troops into three routes and outflanked the Pingliang defenders from three directions.

The Pingliang defenders suddenly dispersed.

Zhang Chang led the elite troops and rushed into Pingliang City. There was a terrible scene in the city.

"Haha....... Hahaha....... I've won! I'm Zhang De....... I'm the hero of Daxu! ”

Zhang De laughed wildly and slashed off the enemy's head with a swing of his big axe.

"Haha....... Hahaha....... Pingliang City has taken it without danger! ”

Zhang Chang led the army and easily occupied Pingliang City, and the defenders of Pingliang City were wiped out by Zhang Chang.

"Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general." Everyone surrounded Zhang Chang and walked into the City Lord's Mansion.

Zhang Chang waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down.

"The first hero of this battle, Zhang De, I will ask Your Majesty for your merits, and all the soldiers will be rewarded!"

When Zhang Chang set out on the expedition, he was always worried that if he could not conquer Pingliang, it would be difficult to cut off the retreat of Western Xia.

When an army advances and retreats, it is a truly invincible division!

When an army has no advance or retreat, it will be a defeated army.

Now that Pingliang is at his fingertips, Zhang Chang is very happy.

Not only did they recapture the city, but they also captured a lot of supplies.

Zhang Chang thought about it and decided to reward everyone.

"This time to capture Pingliang, it all depends on your bravery, so I decided to reward each of you with ten acres of fertile land!"

As soon as Zhang Chang's words came out, everyone rejoiced!

The mountains near Pingliang City are longitudinal and horizontal, the forests are verdant, and the soil is fertile. Ten years ago, Pingliang City was still a desolate small county town, but ten years later, it has become the northwest granary of Western Xia.

Now, Zhang Chang's promise to reward each person with ten acres of land is even more exciting.

"General Xie! General Xie ......."

Zhang Chang waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

"In addition, Pingliang City is the grain and grass base of Western Xia, if it is not good to keep it, I am afraid that it will be another trouble in the future. So I decided that all the food in Pingliang City would be confiscated! “

As soon as Zhang Chang's words came out, everyone talked about it.

Zhang Chang glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The news of the fall of Pingliang City may have spread to Western Xia. I guess the Tanguts will soon send someone to rescue Pingliang. So, I want everyone to be prepared for defense. At the same time step up armaments! ”

Everyone agreed in unison.

Zhang Chang nodded with satisfaction, his eyes calm and determined.

He looked around at the crowd and noticed that their armor had been polished by time and war, but their eyes revealed a firm belief in Pingliang City.

Zhang Chang said slowly: "Pingliang City is an important place, it is related to the national fortune of Daxu, and we must defend it. We've all been honing it for years, and now it's time to prove yourself. I hope that everyone will spare no effort to defend the captured city to the death! ”

His words slowly disappeared into the air, and suddenly, a cold wind blew, and everyone's armor made a crisp sonorous sound.

They knelt down to Zhang Chang to indicate that they were ready.

"No! ——”

"No! Obey the general's orders. ——”

Zhang Chang smiled slightly, then turned to the outside of the city.

Outside the city, it was a vast Gobi desert, with yellow sand flying and no life.

He took a deep breath, then turned to face the crowd. He shouted loudly: "Defend Pingliang City, it can be worth 50,000 heroes!" ”

Everyone raised their weapons one after another, and let out a deafening shout.

Their figures stood straight and upright, like an impregnable Great Wall.

At this moment, they are more prepared, more confident, and more powerful than ever.

Zhang Chang's gaze swept again, and then nodded. Everyone nodded silently in understanding.

They are ready to fight for the survival of Daxu!

Zhang Chang looked at the sky and instructed a personal guard: "You take your brothers, sort out the seizures of the past few days, and reward the soldiers at noon tomorrow!" “

As soon as Zhang Chang's words were finished, a fast horse galloped towards him and happened to stay in front of Zhang Chang!

A soldier rolled over and knelt down in front of Zhang Chang.

"See General."

Zhang Chang was puzzled: "What happened, so panicked." ”

The soldier swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in a slur manner: "Please General immediately rush to the aid of Xunyang, General Zhenguo is surrounded by tens of thousands of rebels and 100,000 Western Xia iron cavalry outside Jianzhou City!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chang was furious! Zhang Chang shouted sharply: "Nonsense, how can the general of Zhenguo be trapped? Who is this rumor-mongering? ”

"It's true, General! The subordinates saw it with their own eyes! The soldier trembled with fear.

Zhang Chang took a deep breath and said coldly: "Tell me the details, if there is half a lie, you know the consequences." ”

The soldier said tremblingly: "My subordinates are stationed in Xunyang on the orders of the general. But last night, a fire suddenly broke out in Xunyang City, and the fire burned half of Xunyang's granaries, and half of the grain was burned! ”

Zhang Chang frowned: "Half of the grain was burned?" ”

"Yes, General!"

"What happened in Xunyang City, how could it be on fire?"

"Someone came, immediately transfer dozens of fast horses, and the scout with the best riding skills rushed to Xunyang overnight, and returned to Pingliang immediately after getting the news."

Zhang Chang commanded.

"Yes!"

Zhang Chang pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there an abnormal situation in Pingliang City?" ”

Zhang De said: "It's not unusual! ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Chang nodded, a little relieved in his heart.

"My lord, I will sacrifice a general to you to decide!"

Zhang Chang raised his eyes and asked suspiciously: "Which general, tell me about it!" ”

"This person is Liu Dawu, a down-and-out nobleman in Western Xia."

Zhang Chang had never heard of this person.

Zhang Chang frowned slightly, he didn't like to receive generals, but since someone came to surrender, he couldn't ignore it.

"What are you talking about Liu Dawu?"

Zhang Chang recalled carefully, and finally remembered this person, "Oh, I remember, this person is the guard of Pingliang City, Liu Dawu?" ”

"Call him up!"

"Whoa!"

Liu Dawu was brought into the General's Mansion.

Zhang Chang looked at the captive man.

Liu Dawu looks ordinary, with a short figure, a yellow face and thin muscles, and a decadent demeanor.

"The villain Liu Dawu, I've seen the general!" Liu Dawu bent his legs and fell to the ground.

"Excuse me! Get up. ”

Liu Dawu stood up.

Zhang Chang looked at Liu Dawu and asked, "I remember that you are the son of a Western Xia nobleman with a family property of more than 100,000 yuan, why did you defect to my Daxu?" ”

Liu Dawu said bitterly: "The general doesn't know, when my Liu family married Western Xia, I asked me to go to the Western Regions to find out the news for them. Who would have thought that Xixia was deceiving my Liu family, causing my Liu family to be ruined, and now my Liu family is only left with me, a single seedling, tied to my body, and I will never be rich again, if there is no general protection, I am afraid that I would have been buried in the sea of fire, and I will never be able to live forever. ”

"Oh? Why is that? Zhang Chang asked with interest.

Liu Dawu sighed and said: "The Emperor of Western Xia is a mediocre and violent person, and he sent an envoy to my house earlier to ask to marry my sister, but my sister did not want to marry the Emperor of Western Xia....... And then this kind of thing happened. ”

Liu Dawu wiped a few handfuls of tears after speaking, which sounded like that.

In fact, after Liu Dawu was a meritorious servant of Western Xia, he was very rich and noble from generation to generation, and he was not as bad as he described.

Zhang Chang was secretly happy in his heart, but his mouth was silent: "In this case, I am willing to make the decision for you!" ”

Liu Dawu nodded.

"If it weren't for the wisdom and wisdom of the general who came to capture the city, I'm afraid the villain would have died in the hands of the Western Xia people."

Liu Dawu said respectfully.

How many truths, how many lies Liu Dawu is clear, if you are put on the neck by a knife, are you panicking, are you afraid?

Anyway, at that time, Liu Dawu was purely afraid of death, and in order to survive, it was not a big deal to sell the lord for glory.

Zhang Chang nodded, he didn't appreciate Liu Dawu's compliment, but felt that Liu Dawu was patting on the back.

"Alright, you go down."

"Yes!"

After Liu Dawu saluted, he retreated.

"There's something strange about this man!" Zhang Chang fell into deep thought.

Zhang Chang's henchmen immediately reported and said: "General, Liu Dawu is indeed eccentric, and his words are also seven points untrustworthy. ”

Zhang Chang nodded, thinking that although Liu Dawu was greedy for life and afraid of death, he didn't dare to fool himself with this kind of thing.

"What do you think?" he asked. ”

"The subordinates think it's just a clown who jumps off the beam, so they don't need to take it to heart."

"My subordinates feel that this matter should be handled cautiously!"

"This Liu Dawu is indeed a little weird, it's better to kill him."

One of the commanders said, "Yes, General! Liu Dawu is just a straw bale! ”

"General, I don't think this person has the intention to take refuge in my Daxu, but it seems that he was coerced by others to deliberately act and win our sympathy in order to achieve a certain goal."

"General, we should kill Liu Dawu."

"I'm also in favor of killing this kind of traitor villain!"

"General, please give an order quickly, kill this Liu Dawu!"

The crowd admonished.

Zhang Chang was a little shaken in his heart, if he rashly ordered the execution of the enemy's surrendered generals, I was afraid that he would cause trouble, after all, it had only been a few hours since Pingliang changed hands, and now the army was not yet stable.

If Liu Dawu is killed now, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of some people, which will be extremely unfavorable to Daxu.

Zhang Chang hesitated for a long time, but he still felt inappropriate in his heart.

"General, think twice, this matter is very important."

Zhang Chang nodded: "I will think about it clearly, let the whole army be sure to count the number of people, and be ready to rush to the aid of Xunyang at any time tomorrow!" ”

"No!"

The people were commanded to leave.

Zhang Chang sat on a chair, thinking about the war in Xunyang while falling into deep thought.

It stands to reason that if the back road of Western Xia is cut off, he will definitely be eager to fight, stick to Xunyang and Pingliang, Xixia!

Hehe....... It's just a clown jumping off the beam, brother Huang, the big war is about to be decided, this world should be you and my brother!

Every river and mountain in this Daxu Empire will be in the bag of my Zhang family! Hahaha.......

Thinking of this, Zhang Chang looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and the laughter shook the entire General's Mansion!
