On the other side, the north gate of Langfang City.
The attention of Po Kong and others, the soldiers, and the surrender soldiers were all attracted by the lightning and thunder in the south.
The frequency of this thunder was really high. The soldiers had never seen such weather before, and they all commented:
"Oh my God, is this sound the end of the world?"
"It should be Ye Wuxue. I heard she can control the weather."
"It's the first time, it's really the first time I've seen it."
"We really didn't come here in vain. First there was a black hole, and now there is doomsday-like disastrous weather."
"By the way, will the heavy rain and thunder and lightning spread to us?"
"Probably not. After all, it is a supernatural power, not a real disaster. The scope will not be so large."
While everyone was discussing, Po Kong and others stared at Xia Houdao lying outside the city wall.
"Military advisor, Xiahou Dao has been silent all this time." Po Kong said suspiciously.
"It's indeed strange. He should have guessed that there is no barrier in Langfang City now." Zhuge Jun was also very curious.
"I said, he might have been really pissed off by Po Kong." Su Hai said with a smile.
"Should we go out and take a look?" Po Kong said.
"It's okay. Let's send soldiers over first to take a look."
Two minutes later, several soldiers wearing protective clothing holding blue shields took off from the city wall, jumped outside the city, and then cautiously approached Xiahou Road.
One step, two steps... one step, two steps...
The soldiers were very careful and walked for several minutes to get to a distance of less than 100 meters.
After arriving, the soldiers held their shields tightly, and then pushed Xiahou Dao's body with their feet.
After pushing several times, Xiahou Dao didn't move. The soldiers became bolder, and one of them simply squatted down and turned Xiahou Dao over.
Shockingly, Xia Houdao had a deep gash on his neck, and the blood was almost drained. He had no vital signs and his body temperature was very low. He was basically dead.
The soldiers were shocked and excited. They picked up Xiahou Dao's body and ran into the city, shouting as they ran: "Xiahou Dao is dead. Xiahou Dao really died because of the broken air."
The soldiers in the city immediately became agitated when they heard the news.
"Really, the city lord was really pissed off."
"The city lord turns out to have such a poor psychological quality."
"I heard a rumor that Xiaotian was originally the city lord of Langfang City, but Xiahou Dao volunteered and issued a military order."
"I understand, that is to say, if Lang Fang City is lost, the city owner will not survive."
"Then you won't be so angry that you will die of anger. This death is too worthless."
"By the way, the city lord is dead. It seems that we really have no choice. We can only change the master in the future."
"I wonder if the people of Yanhuang Kingdom will treat us well."
"It should be possible. As long as he is a wise master, he will not treat us badly."
"Actually, after all this, they just want to unify the continent of Asia. As soldiers, we don't have to think too much. Survival is the most important thing."
"Hey, are you abandoning your country so soon?"
"Thousands of years ago, the Yanhuang Kingdom and the Snow Kingdom were originally one family."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you actually comfort yourself with things that happened thousands of years ago."
"Stop being so noble. If you were great, you wouldn't surrender."
This time, facing the restlessness of the surrendering soldiers, Fanyan no longer stopped them. At this time, the more restless they are, the more they can create an atmosphere of surrender and make them surrender from the bottom of their hearts.
As one of the protagonists of this incident, Po Kong was a little confused. He really didn't expect that his sharp tongue could talk Xia Houdao to death, no matter what he thought, he was talking nonsense. Isn't it just ridicule and abuse? Can he actually force Xia Houdao to commit suicide?
Zhuge Jun, who was next to Po Kong, smiled and patted Po Kong on the back: "Good guy, you turned out to be so talkative. You just killed Xiahou Dao and saved us a lot of trouble."
"Commander, don't tease me, don't you think this is too ridiculous? As the lord of Langfang City, how can he be so fragile inside."
"There must be many reasons for Xia Houdao's suicide, and your abuse and ridicule played a role in promoting it. Anyway, don't think so much. You should be happy now."
On the other side, near the south gate of Langfang City, the frequency of thunder and lightning in the sky quickly decreased and gradually disappeared. The previous heavy rains also became lighter and lighter, and the power also weakened sharply.
One of the battalion commanders said: "What's going on? Are you going to stop?"
A deputy captain said: "So, this power consumes a lot of money and can only last for about ten minutes."
Deputy Commander Wang's heart collapsed, but his hope suddenly rekindled.
"Ye Wuxue's power has been used up." Deputy Captain Wang kept staring at the sky.
Deputy Commander Wang immediately rode his horse through the group of soldiers, picked up the trumpet and shouted: "Those who can still fight should assemble immediately. We have not lost. We have not lost. Gather them all, gather all our forces, hurry up!"
Of the 40,000-strong army, more than 5,000 soldiers have died in the lightning rain, about 15,000 soldiers are in coma, about 10,000 soldiers have fled without a trace, and about 10,000 soldiers are still awake.
These 10,000 soldiers were barely strong enough to survive the lightning rain. Although they were all injured and their bodies were a little numb, they could at least still move. Under the command of the battalion commander, platoon commander and others, they quickly regrouped.
The process of regrouping the troops took nearly ten minutes. Ye Wuxue watched the whole process from high altitude, but she could do nothing. Ye Wuxue's only remaining power can only keep her in the air. She can't come down now. Once she comes down, she will definitely be captured alive.
There are about 10,000 soldiers, and the paralysis effect on their bodies has weakened a lot. They re-arranged their formation, holding their weapons tightly, waiting for new orders.
But the battalion commanders and deputy commanders didn't know what to do next. They stared at Ye Wuxue high in the sky, it could be said that they were eager to see through it, but Ye Wuxue refused to come down.
Deputy Commander Wang struggled internally for a long time, and finally made a major decision through gritted teeth.
"All troops are ready to advance towards the south gate, exit the city and leave Langfang City."
Upon hearing this order, the battalion commanders and other deputy commanders were extremely shocked.
One of the battalion commanders said: "Deputy commander, do you really want to give up Langfang City?"
"There is no way to save the day. Ye Wuxue hasn't come down yet. We can't do anything to her. Staying here won't help. It's better to leave Langfang City directly from the south gate. Anyway, Ye Wuxue doesn't dare to come down now. Let's go. .”
"But if Lang Fangcheng is lost, you will be punished."
"My life doesn't matter anymore. At least I saved 10,000 soldiers for the Snow Country."
This decision is a very painful one. Everyone admired Deputy Commander Wang for being able to make such a decision.
"Deputy Commander Wang, no matter what, we will fully support you."
Deputy Commander Wang smiled, turned around and shouted to everyone: "The whole army moves forward and leaves Langfang City."
In this way, more than 10,000 people walked towards the south gate.
Among the crowd, Sima Yi secretly slowed down, left the army unknowingly, and hid in a building.
Sima Yi was sitting in a corridor, sighing and looking sad.
He knew that these more than 10,000 soldiers could not escape. However, he no longer wanted to frustrate Deputy Commander Wang's heart, nor did he want to see Deputy Commander Wang committing suicide.
"Creak, creak, creak..." Several soldiers activated the door-opening device, and the huge south gate began to rise slowly.
After the door opened, an extremely shocking scene happened.
Not far outside the city, there was smoke and dust, and rumbling sounds were slowly coming. It was a small sound at first, and then it became louder and louder. If you listen carefully, it sounded like the sound of horse hooves.
The young deputy army commander (Yang Yu, the son of the imperial capital's chief administrator) picked up a telescope, jumped to the towering city wall, and took a closer look.
"Deputy Commander Wang, these are reinforcements, they are reinforcements."
"What?"
"Their flag says Li. They are Li Menghua's army, one of the small towns affiliated with Langfang City."
"Li Menghua, is this the leader of the Elite Cavalry Battalion?"
"That's right, he is leading the cavalry over here. It is estimated that there are about 10,000 people."
"Haha, great, reinforcements are finally here." The battalion commanders shouted excitedly, feeling that hope was gradually rising.
Deputy Commander Wang's previously worried face also improved a lot. He shouted to the soldiers: "The whole army is divided into two groups, one is inside the city and the other is outside the city. We must defend the south gate until all Reinforcements have arrived. Brothers, we want to take back Langfang City."
Deputy Commander Wang's voice was very loud, and the morale of the soldiers began to improve. Under the arrangement of the leader, they divided into two groups and set up a formation, intending to control the south gate.
A few minutes later, 10,000 light cavalry arrived at the south gate, led by Li Menghua.
Li Menghua rode a horse and rushed over. A battalion commander also rode toward Li Menghua, waving and shouting: "Captain Li, you are finally here."
When Li Menghua quickly approached, the battalion commander's expression suddenly changed, because he saw that Li Menghua's face was very serious, and his eyes still showed a fierce light.
The battalion commander immediately turned his head and shouted to his own people: "Be careful..."
Just as the battalion commander yelled, Li Menghua actually chopped off the battalion commander's head with a knife, and then continued to rush towards Deputy Commander Wang's army.
Deputy Commander Wang and others were dumbfounded. Li Menghua actually killed one of his own?
Deputy Commander Yang Yu immediately shouted to Deputy Commander Wang: "Li Menghua has surrendered to the enemy. He is now an enemy."
Deputy Commander Wang was not stupid either. He immediately shouted to everyone: "Meet the enemy immediately!"
The 5,000 or so soldiers entrenched outside the city gate immediately raised their weapons...
"Boom boom boom boom..."
A large wave of cavalry attacked fiercely like a big wave. Where the infantry could stop the cavalry, they were smashed like tofu, and some soldiers with higher defense were directly knocked away.
In an instant, the sound of killing broke out.
The battalion commanders and deputy commanders also drew their weapons and led the soldiers towards Li Menghua, shouting: "Li Menghua, you traitor."
