The war has stopped.

In this battle, the Northern Zhou army suffered heavy losses. Under the leadership of Zhao Langjiang, 5,000 White Horse Yicong had 3,000 elite troops of the Western Army, and wiped out nearly 4,000 Northern Zhou army. However, the losses on Yinyang City can be described as tragic.

Nearly 6,000 prisoners of war, except for a few others who escaped from the battlefield, the remaining 5,000 were almost completely destroyed under the joint attack of the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

When the Northern Zhou Dynasty retreated, nearly 10,000 corpses were left outside Yinyang City, which was shocking to see.

Tuoba Niu Ren did not expect that his tactics of trying hundreds of ways in northern Xinjiang would not work in Yinyang City. He did not expect that Zhao Lianjiang would order arrows to be fired, which made him look at Zhao Lianjiang with admiration.

He was known as the God of War in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He fought all his life and never lost. He thought that he and Yuwen Tianlu would use Yin Yang as a chessboard to decide a victory or defeat, but Zhao Langjiang disrupted the game.

Xue Huai dared not attack his own people. He was the King of Dingbei and would inevitably be concerned about his influence in the court. Therefore, every time he fought with Xue Huai, he would rather abandon the city and flee.

Li Xiancheng dared not. He was the Lord of Yinyang City. If he did this, it would definitely arouse public anger.

I originally thought that only Yuwen Tianlu dared to give this order. This guy went crazy and even killed the unarmed people. Now there is another Zhao Langjiang.

Now, the Northern Zhou army led by Tuoba Niu people is in a deadlock and can no longer do anything.

storm?

Zhao Langjiang could not hide. This city was as solid as a rock. Even if it was forcibly captured, it would be a tragic victory. It would not be worth it if the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers in the Northern Zhou Dynasty were sacrificed.

siege?

Damn Li Xiancheng has stored countless food and grass in Yinyang City from last winter to now. It is said that if he can persist for half a year, if he really falls into a protracted war, when the weather turns cold, in winter, there is no need to start a war, and more than 100,000 Northern Zhou troops will be frozen to death in the wild.

The Tuoba Niu people could only hope for the spies he placed in Yinyang City. Over the past twenty years, the Northern Zhou Blood Crow Organization has penetrated a lot into Yinyang City. Without his instructions, the Blood Crow has begun to carry out sabotage activities in Yinyang City.

The disaster caused the walls of Xiao, and the strongest fortresses were all broken from the inside.

Tuoba Niu thought so.

At this time, a subordinate looked panicked and ran into the coach's tent and said, "Marcedes-in-law, something is wrong!"

When Tuoba Niu Ren saw that he was sweating profusely, he said a little unhappy, "What are you doing? You are a scout, don't you know what calmness means?"

The man was scolded and stood there, daring not to speak.

Tuoba Niuren looked at the sand table in Yinyang City and thought about the way to break the city. This sand table was made very exquisitely, and all the terrain of Yinyang City and more than ten miles around were included. This sand table was made by the Blood Crow Organization for a large price and was made by the skilled craftsmen of Yinyang City. It is said that a total of two sets were made, and the other set was in the City Lord's Mansion.

Before I knew it, it was getting late.

He touched his stomach and felt a little hungry. He looked up and saw the man standing there, frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Why don't you tell me?"

The subordinate said, "We have received news. Yesterday, the leader of Helian joined forces with Kaba Living Buddha in Zhaoyaoshan to kill Yuwen Tianlu and seriously injure Li Chuntie."

"This is a good thing!"

"The whereabouts of the Sect Master Helian are now unknown and are missing!"

Tuoba Niu Ren laughed, "This is even more good!"

The Tuoba Niu people have always had no good impression of Wanfa Sect. He was the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Wanfa Sect was just a dog who worked hard for their royal family. However, Yuwen Tianlu's death in battle was indeed beyond his expectations.

From now on, he has lost one opponent.

To be precise, he is the only opponent.

This made him feel a little moved.

The subordinate said again, "In addition, we have received emergency information. Half a month ago, Xue Huai killed Tuoba Bubai in the three northern prefectures, and his troops passed by Fenghuang Ridge, and now he has occupied the Shenxian Gully!"

Tuoba Niu Ren said in surprise, "What?"

Xue Huai, the thousand-year-old turtle, occupied Shenxiangou while he was away! Shenxiangou is a strategic fortress between the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. If it falls here, there will be no natural barriers to defend from the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the south. Even if Yin Yang is captured, it will not be able to make up for the loss of Shenxiangou.

"Why didn't you say this kind of thing earlier?"

The subordinate said, "The Grand Marshal didn't let me say it!"

Tuoba Niu Ren cursed, "Tuoba crawled into his brain, and in order to support his idiot son to get to power, he actually asked him to fight Xue Huai. I'm so angry. Come on, get me three chicken legs!"

The subordinate waved his hand, "Master, I'm not hungry."

Tuoba Niu said, "Get out!"

A deputy general said, "Marson, in the past half a month, all the chickens within 30 miles have been killed!"

Tuoba Niu people were full of anger.

When a person is unlucky, he even gets stuck in his teeth when drinking cold water.

Reason told him that the most urgent task was to withdraw the Northern Zhou army, return to the north of Hengduan Mountain, and then lead the elite troops to advance eastward, and suppress the west of the three palaces, forming a horn in front of the Shenxiangou with the regent's reinforcements.

This will inevitably give up Yinyang City.

Once Yinyang City is abandoned, Tuoba Niu Ren's undefeated record will be the same, and Zhao Langjiang will become famous in one battle and become the first person to defeat Tuoba Niu Ren.

He is unwilling to give up!

It didn't take long for the Northern Zhou Dynasty to transfer troops and horses, and the Tuoba Niu Ren decided to seize the last chance, make a contribution to the battle, fight against Yinyang City and Zhao Langjiang to the death.

...

At night.

The city of Yinyang was in chaos. Although it repelled the offensive of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there were still several catapults that hit the city wall and the city wall. The losses were quite serious. Li Xianzhong organized the people of Yinyang to carry out emergency repairs.

Zhao Langjiang sat on a mercenary with a pale face. He had been motionless for three or four hours, and no one dared to disturb him.

He was under great pressure when he shot the prisoners of war by shooting the arrows to death. This was war, it had nothing to do with kindness, it was only about victory or defeat. No one blamed him, but the touch on him was huge.

Killing is not difficult. Killing an unarmed person and being a child of Yinyang City made him restless. He understood Yuwen Tianlu a little.

Back then, he ordered the massacre of 30,000 people in Dingzhou. The infamy of "man slaughtering" was for twenty years. Yuwen Tianlu had never defended himself and silently endured all this.

Li Qingcheng took a pot of wine and jumped to the chassis.

He looked at the corpse under the city, drank a sip of wine, and said lightly, "Yuwen Tianlu is dead."

"What!"

Zhao Langjiang was stunned.

"When did it happen?"

Li Qingcheng said, "Just yesterday, President Li, Helian Liangbi, and Kaba Living Buddha joined forces to kill him. It is said that it was the order given by His Majesty the Emperor himself."

"The emperor wants to kill Yuwen Tianlu? Why?"

Li Qingcheng handed over the wine pot and smiled bitterly, "The emperor is moody. Who can guess his thoughts? He heard that the court will announce the ten major crimes of Yuwen Tianlu today. Who would have expected that the dignified Duke Anguo and the powerful governor of the West who conquered the court and the opposition would collapse overnight?"

Zhao Langjiang felt dizzy.

He has been practicing martial arts hard for one day to kill Yuwen Tianlu with his own hands, avenge his parents, and the whole Dingzhou family.

Now, he uses the Yinyang City Formation to kill Li Xiancheng. His martial arts skills are just about to be successful and he has the power to fight Yuwen Tianlu. He thought that he would take a revenge in a few years, but suddenly he heard the news that Yuwen Tianlu was killed and could not accept it for a while.

Everything he did lost its meaning.

When Zhao Langjiang heard the news that Yuwen Tianlu had died in battle, he was not happy, but felt a little disappointed. He had little contact with Yuwen Tianlu, and knew that he was very knowledgeable about his literary and martial arts, and had an unparalleled wisdom. He looked confident in everything.

On the golden sword platform, Yuwen Tianlu could have escaped safely, but he was injured and saved Zhao Langjiang's life. Under the mountain stream, Yuwen Tianlu had a deep conversation with him, learned a lot of Chen Nian's secrets, and accepted his instructions.

I thought everything was under the control of Yuwen Tianlu.

Unfortunately, he guessed the beginning correctly, but not the end correctly.

Zhao Langjiang stood above the city wall, poured a pot of wine under the city wall, and said slowly, "Putting aside personal grievances, love and hatred, I, Zhao Langjiang, respect you, you are a hero. In the past twenty years, I have practiced martial arts hard and have always wanted to kill you with my own hands. Now that you are dead, the grievances between you and me are wiped out. Don't worry, I will do what I promise you!"

When Li Qingcheng saw that he looked lonely, he sighed.

Zhao Langjiang suddenly asked, "Where is Lao Xiao?"

Li Qingcheng said, "I lost contact, but with his martial arts, it should be fine to protect himself. What I am worried about is that Dean Li killed his future father-in-law, and I don't know how he explained to Miss Yuwen."

Zhao Langjiang said: "Here, at this time, this situation, this scene, there should be wine."

Li Qingcheng said angrily, "I went through several places and found a pot, and you all fell to the city."

Zhao Langjiang laughed loudly.

Li Qingcheng also laughed.

Not far away, everyone was confused when they saw their chief general and Li Qingcheng laughing.

Laughter.

Zhao Langjiang pressed the knife spring and with a clang, the golden knife was unsheathed.

He held the golden sword in his hand and said loudly, "In the past, I lived in hatred. From today on, I, Zhao Langjiang, will live for myself and fight for Yinyang. Whether it is Western Chu or Northern Zhou, if you want to attack Yinyang City, then step over my body."

Li Qingcheng looked at Zhao Langjiang and saw that he looked ambitious, which looked very much like Yuwen Tianlu.

The sound of footsteps came from afar.

The two of them looked in the voice and saw Li Xianzhong's serious expression and walked towards where they were. He said to Zhao Langjiang, "Lord Zhao City."

"What's wrong with General Li?"

Li Xianzhong said, "What happened. Tonight, 200 people were poisoned in Beidaying, and 38 people have died. Initial investigations have been made, and some people deliberately poisoned in the well."

"Isn't there a heavy army to guard the water source in the city?"

"This is the problem." Li Xianzhong said, "Over the years, the Northern Zhou Blood Crow Organization has penetrated into Yinyang City, which has become a climate. Now that the Northern Zhou attacks Yinyang, they will naturally not be idle. Most of these poisons are released by their people."

Zhao Langjiang said, "Taoqian leads the way and go to Beidaying."
