"There is an enemy attack," from the city gate, the people who immediately noticed that something was wrong shouted loudly, and soon the shouts became one. Since the identity of the Star Army was unclear, the atmosphere of panic spread rapidly, no matter who passed by. , people who were still buying and selling immediately fled in all directions after hearing the shouts.
The Star Army will naturally not care about those who want to escape, as long as those people do not block their way.
In fact, before the various forces in the city and the people in the palace reacted, there was not much time left for Lan Wu. Lan Wu had to surround the palace as soon as possible and capture Emperor Lai in one fell swoop, so that he could completely control the situation.
As time went by, the situation in Leduli became more and more chaotic. Wherever the Star Army passed, there were figures fleeing in panic. The patrol teams that came after hearing the news were all killed by the Star Army. As they marched in a hurry, Lan Wu directly killed the Star Army. The main procession was brought to the main entrance of the palace.
When the gate guards reacted and were about to close the palace gate, the archers in front fired arrows to stop those people from moving. Then, the Star Army smoothly fought with the guards at the city gate, fighting and rushing inside.
After grabbing some people for questioning, Lan Wu directly asked Lai Huang's whereabouts, and then broke through many obstacles to reach the palace where Lai Huang was resting. Shortly after Lan Wu ordered people to surround the palace, to his surprise, Lai Huang was wearing a dragon robe. The emperor came out of the palace on his own initiative, surrounded by a group of guards.
Afterwards, the two sides held a negotiation. The result of the negotiation was that Emperor Lai not only agreed to withdraw his troops, but also sent hundreds of carts of food and supplies to the star army who had run out of ammunition. In the end, Emperor Lai even decided to accompany Lan Wu to the eastern border of their country. .
Before leaving the palace, Emperor Lai directly issued an imperial edict and ordered people to be sent to the Star Kingdom quickly to Commander-in-Chief Xu Bufan of the Lai Army. By the time Emperor Lai and Lan Wu arrived at the border, the Lai Army had already received the news.
A few days later, Emperor Lai's imperial edict was successfully delivered to the territory of the Star Kingdom and handed over to the commander-in-chief of the Lai army, Xu Bufan. At that time, reinforcements from Mongolia and Lai had arrived, and 600,000 troops were approaching the city and were about to attack Xingdu. The situation in the capital is unprecedentedly severe.
After the coalition forces divided 100,000 people to surround Xingdu, the remaining 500,000 people gathered in front of the city gate of Xingdu. While surrounding Xingdu, the commanders of the two armies prepared to launch an attack from the north gate of Xingdu. .
Half a million troops were spread out under the city, and the length of the horizontal and vertical lines could not be seen. The Star Army at the gate of the city was trembling with fear due to such a shocking formation. All the defenders had sad faces. It can be imagined that once the coalition forces launched an offensive against them, it would not take much. After a long time, Beiguan will be lost. By then, if the coalition forces attack the city, the city will be filled with blood. At such a critical moment, but no reinforcements have arrived, the generals defending the city are naturally panicked.
Therefore, after the marshals of Mongolia and Lai sent people to persuade them to surrender, all the Xingdu generals in the city who originally planned to hold on to the end were shaken in their hearts. The disparity in the strength of the two sides was too great, and they had no idea of challenging.
On the other side, the reason why the marshals of the Mongolian and Lai armies went to persuade them to surrender first was because they were a little afraid of Lan Wu. The Lai army coach Xu Bufan and the Mongolian army coach Wan Longyi both knew that hundreds of thousands of star troops were waiting not far from them. , plus Qingguo's 100,000 reinforcements, the number of Star Army is close to half of theirs.
More than 200,000 enemy troops were staring at them not far from them. The two marshals were worried that if they could not break through the city gate in time, Lan Wu would definitely lead an army to outflank them from behind, although both of them clearly felt that Even if the Xing Army and Qing Army came behind them, they still had an absolute advantage in terms of strength, but the two still did not have full confidence.
Of course, confidence aside, they could completely defeat the Star Army with their strength. The two of them had never denied this. Even if the Star Army's strength increased by another hundred thousand, it would not affect their chances of winning.
When discussing the military situation recently, Xu Bufan and Wan Longyi had the same understanding in this regard. Although Lan Wu's existence is scary, the Star Kingdom's army is not scary because they are basically recruits. In terms of combat power, the Star Army and the Star Kingdom are not scary. Even the Qing army cannot compare with their soldiers. From a purely combat strength perspective, the overall strength of the coalition forces is many times stronger than that of the Star Army and the Qing Army. In this case, why should they be afraid of the Star Army.
After having this essential understanding, Lan Wu's image of using soldiers like a god was greatly reduced in the hearts of the two. In the vast area around Xingdu, the two coaches did not believe that Lan Wu could play any tricks. They raised their troops today. Attacking the city, both of them were determined to capture Xingdu.
When the marshals of the two countries sent people to persuade the Xing Army soldiers to surrender, the Xing Army and the Qing Army were separated in two places, but they were not far from Xing. The reason why the two armies did not rush to the battlefield as soon as possible was because they were still waiting for Bai Ting's attack. Military orders.
It has been more than half a month since Lan Wu left, and no news has been sent back during this period. It was not until yesterday that Bai Ting received news from Lan Wu. Emperor Lai had ordered the withdrawal of troops, but when would Emperor Lai's decree arrive and whether it would be effective? Bai Ting is not sure about its effect at the moment.
Now that the coalition forces are attacking the city, he has yet to see Emperor Lai's imperial edict arrive. Calculating the time, Bai Ting is very anxious, but no matter what, he can't act arbitrarily and must trust Lan Wu.
In the past half month or so, Bai Ting has made too many efforts to stabilize the morale of the military. Not only that, he also tried his best to have a good relationship with the commander-in-chief of the Qing Army. Now that the two sides have reached an agreement, the Qing Army will follow the plan. Full support with Star Force.
Since it was uncertain whether Lai's envoys could arrive on the battlefield on time, as a precaution, Bai Ting was ready to go to war according to the original plan. He only hoped that by the time they arrived at the city gate, Xingdu had not been breached by the coalition forces.
After receiving the news of the departure of the Star Army, Xu Bufan and Wan Longyi no longer had any doubts and prepared to directly order an attack. However, at the critical moment, the envoy from Lai Kingdom finally arrived and read out the imperial edict in front of Xu Bufan. , and he alone informed Xu Bufan of Lai Huang’s oral instructions.
While reading the content of the imperial edict and listening to Emperor Lai's oral instructions, Xu Bufan's heart was trembling. His ambition to capture Xingdu disappeared in an instant. Instead, as an eighth-level martial artist, there was still sweat on his forehead. Emperor Lai's The oral instructions were like a mountain pressing on him, making him unable to breathe.
While his mind was trembling, Xu Bufan thought in disbelief that their king had been held hostage by Lan Wu's troops. If it hadn't been said by the envoy himself and the clear content of the imperial edict, he would never have believed it, and even if the matter was so clear. , he still had an unreal feeling, wondering how Lan Wu led troops to Laidu under their noses, and even held their king hostage.
Worried that something might happen to Emperor Lai, Xu Bufan had no choice but to order the withdrawal of the troops on the grounds that the imperial city was trapped and Emperor Lai was in trouble. Once the 300,000 Lai troops left, even though there were still 300,000 Mongolian troops on the side, they seemed to be weak. , In desperation, the Mongolian army coach who did not know why also chose to withdraw his troops. However, the fact that the Lebanese army could evacuate smoothly does not mean that their Mongolian army could also withdraw smoothly.
Not long after the Lai army retreated, the Xing Army and the Qing Army, ten miles away, successively received news of the Lai army's retreat. Not surprisingly, not long after, they received news of the Mongolian army's retreat. Now that the coalition forces have withdrawn, the Xingdu The crisis was resolved, and Bai Ting and the generals realized that Lan Wu's plan to force Lai Huang to withdraw his troops was successfully implemented.
Not long after, the Star Army and the Qing Army gathered in front of Beiguan. The city gate that had been closed for most of the month was finally opened. At the same time, many generals directly proposed to Bai Ting to attack the coalition camp and defeat the Mongolian army in one fell swoop. Once the Lai army left, now was a good opportunity for them to take the initiative.
But in dealing with the Mongolian army, Bai Ting and others had detailed plans in advance. It was not yet time for them to attack the Mongolian army. After rejecting the proposals of some generals, what Bai Ting and the commander-in-chief of the Qing army wanted to do was to discuss the plan. How to ambush the Mongolian army when they come down, of course, the safety of Lan Wu and the 50,000 star troops is also an issue they have to consider.
When Bai Ting and the commander of the Qing Army were discussing some matters after the coalition's withdrawal, the coalition's military supplies were all in the camp. Due to the emergency, Xu Bufan was unable to withdraw all the supplies, so he still left some troops to take charge. After breaking camp, Xu Bufan could not consider whether the Lai army would come back again.
For him, going back to rescue him was the most urgent matter, and it was much more important than them taking over the Star Kingdom, because the matter was not as simple as rescuing him. If anything happened to Emperor Lai, there would definitely be turmoil in Lai, and Xu Bufan would also Bring the troops back to ensure the stability of the country.
As for the fact that Lan Wu was able to successfully avoid their eyes and ears this time, unexpectedly led an army to Laidu, and held Emperor Lai hostage, Xu Bufan has an unshirkable responsibility. Once Emperor Lai is blamed, even if he has ten heads, It is not enough to bear the blame. Based on this, the importance of rescuing the driver is self-evident to Xu Bufan.
