Text Chapter 312 The Greatest Pride

Weeds grew in the gaps between the stone bricks on the city wall. When the spring breeze blew, it swayed repeatedly. Tang Zhen pressed the hilt of his sword and stood on the city wall like a stone sculpture, urging the peasants who were repairing the city wall in the distance. The broken wall had been rebuilt. Half the height of the building was built, smoke was rising from the city, and the soldiers of the Elixir Department prepared lunch for the civilians.

Suddenly, a soldier pointed to the distance and said, "Look, Commander, there are people coming from Qihai City."

Tang Zhen was slightly startled, and looked away. Sure enough, smoke and dust billowed in the distance. Not only did people come, but many people came. The 100,000 troops from Qihai City were finally about to arrive at Lanyan City. It took nearly 20 days for the city to be massacred before arriving.

"Go call Princess Xi."

"yes."

Not long after, Tang Xiaoxi walked up the city wall in a white embroidered robe, followed by several chiefs of Qihai City, she slowly came to Tang Town, and said: "Send a cavalry out of the city to ask where it is. People, close the city gates, and don't trust anyone."

"Yes, princess."

According to Tang Zhen's words, he sent cavalry out of the city to join forces. Not long after, the cavalry galloped over and clasped their fists at Tang Xiaoxi on the city wall: "Master Xi, the commander of Tang Zhen, are Young Master Tang Lu and Miss Tang Wei from Qihai City." , at the back of the queue, Master Tang Tian was escorting Duke Lan to come together, and the 100,000 troops from Qihai City were about to arrive in Lanyan City. Master Tang Lu asked his subordinates to come down and inform Master Xi, and ordered Master Xi to open the city gate and go out of the city to meet Lan Yan. male."

"Tang Lu and Tang Wei?"

Tang Xiaoxi pursed her red lips, her eyes flickered with uneasiness, and said, "Tang Town, send an order to confine all the gates of Lanyan City, and send heavy troops to guard them, prohibiting any imperial army or volunteers from entering Lanyan City."

"Ah, Princess." Tang Zhen said with a look of astonishment, "This is not good, after all... we are all soldiers of Qihai City, and Lan Gong personally led the army of Qihai City to reinforce Lanyan City, and did not leave the city to welcome us. Forget it, why do you still have to close the city gates?"

Tang Xiaoxi said lightly: "Lanyan City has only one owner, and her name is Qin Yin. Unless Qin Yin comes to Lanyan City in person, I will not hand over Zetian Temple to anyone. Tang Zhen, don't forget, this Lanyan The city was taken back from the Yihe Kingdom at the cost of the lives of more than 10,000 soldiers, and now, I am the owner of Lanyan City."

"Yes, the general will understand."

Tang Zhen hesitated to speak, and after a few seconds, he clasped his fists and said, "The general is willing to follow the princess, and he will not budge to the death."

"That's good, let's pass the order."

"yes."

...

The gate of Lanyan City was closed tightly, and Tang Xiaoxi just stood on the city with his clothes fluttering, watching from a distance the dense crowd of people from Qihai City gathered in the distance.

Half an hour later, nearly 37,000 sea city troops lined up outside the city, and two generals riding white horses came galloping, and they were Tang Lu and Tang Wei, which made Tang Xiaoxi a little uneasy. Lan has three sons, the eldest son is Tang Xiaoxi's deceased father, the second son Tang Jin, Tang Jin has three sons and daughters, the eldest son Tang Bin was killed by Lin Muyu in the Xunlong Forest, the second son Tang Lu, and daughter Tang Wei is from the city. These two.

Tang Lu, who was wearing silver armor, recognized Tang Xiaoxi, rode out and said, "Xiaoxi, open the city gate quickly, Grandpa's cavalry is coming soon, what are you waiting for?"

Tang Xiaoxi approached the city wall, smiled slightly, and said, "Second brother and younger sister, please go back and tell grandpa that Lanyan City has just suffered from the massacre of the city, and the city is not stable yet, so it is not suitable for stationing large troops, so grandpa, please garrison the Qihai City in the city." outside the city."

"Xiao Xi, what do you mean?" Tang Lu suddenly frowned and asked.

"It's not interesting."

Tang Xiaoxi smiled: "Second brother, look at the two sides outside the city wall, what is it?"

Tang Lu swept his eyes away, and said indifferently: "So what if there are corpses piled up like a mountain."

Tang Xiaoxi chuckled: "Second brother, do you know it's a corpse, then do you know why these people turned into corpses? That's right, it's because the army of Qihai City has been slow to come out. If the 200,000 people in Qihai City are full But, as it is now, these people will not die, Chu Huaimian will not die, Qin Lei will not die, and Mu Mu...he will not die."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Tang Lu said with awe-inspiring eyes, "Qihai City is the foundation of our Tang family. Yihe is a powerful country. Even if we come out with all our strength, we will just hit the stone with eggs. Xiao Xi, open the city gate quickly, or I will..."

"Otherwise, what are you going to do?" Tang Xiaoxi's beautiful eyes showed a chill.

"Otherwise I will flatten this ruined city."

Tang Lu raised his spear high and shouted loudly: "Soldiers on the city, you are all soldiers of my Tang family. Have you forgotten the iron training of the Tang Sect? Open the city immediately to welcome Duke Lan's army into the city! .”

But the soldiers on the city didn't move, and no one even looked at Tang Lu.

Tang Xiaoxi couldn't help laughing: "Second brother, don't waste your time, they are soldiers of the Tang family, but before that they are soldiers of the empire first, not everyone is rebellious and wants to ascend the throne, go back and tell grandpa , unless Xiaoyin returns to Lanyan City, I will not open the city gates to let any troops go, if you want to enter the city, come and attack, archer, get ready."

"Swipe, swipe..."

A row of archers pulled their longbows away in unison, aiming at Tang Lu, Tang Wei and others under the city.

Tang Lu has been pampered and domineering since he was a child. He has never suffered such humiliation, and said with a cold face: "Okay... you guys did a good job. As a member of my Tang family, you dare to aim your bow at me... How dare you Tang town , I remember you."

Tang Zhen cupped his fists on the city wall, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Second Young Master, I will wait for the Tang Sect's iron order to dispatch me at the end, and I am only loyal to Princess Xi at the moment. Besides, I, Tang Zhen, am an imperial soldier. The loyalty of the empire will last till death."

"Pooh."

Tang Lu raised his spear and said, "Come here, prepare a catapult to attack the city for the young master."

On the side, seeing that the situation was not going well, Tang Wei hurriedly grabbed Tang Lu's arm, and said, "Brother, don't mess around, go back and tell Grandpa the situation here, if we really start a war with Xiao Xi, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will be all over the place." It's getting out of hand..."

"snort."

Tang Lu gritted his teeth, turned around on his horse, and disappeared in a flash.

...

Amidst the sound of horseshoes, Tang Lu and Tang Wei returned to the Chinese army camp with pale faces, and saluted Tang Lan from a distance: "Grandpa, Lanyan City is not willing to open the city gate to welcome the Seventh Navy."

"What's going on." Tang Lan looked pale, trembling in the evening wind, wrapped in robes, and said: "Didn't Xiaoxi and Tang Zhen already take control of Lanyan City?"

"Hmph, that girl and Tang Zhen have already betrayed the country." Tang Lu said coldly, "Even Xiaoxi ordered people to shoot me with bows and arrows to force us to leave the city wall. I was so mad."

"Treason." Tang Lan smiled: "Xiaoxi secretly dispatched the troops of Tang Town's camp, and summoned the guards of the monster race, and took the huge Lanyan City from Yihe Kingdom. If this is treason, then we Everyone is a traitor."

"Grandpa, you..." Tang Lu couldn't figure out what Tang Lan was thinking, and said, "Grandpa, it's Xiaoxi, a rebellious descendant of the Tang family, who is blocking us from entering Lanyan City."

Tang Lan sighed and said, "What did Xiao Xi say?"

Tang Wei blinked her eyes and said, "Miss Xiaoxi said that unless His Royal Highness Qin Yin came in person, she would not open the gate of Lanyan City. This Lanyan City can only belong to Qin Yin, not to any other She is alone, so she asked Grandpa to station the Qihai City army outside the city, and will naturally accept the Qihai City army after His Royal Highness Yin returns to the city."

"That's it..."

Tang Lan frowned, waved her hands and said, "Tang Lu, Tang Wei, you two should arrange camping outside the city. Since Xiaoxi won't come to welcome me, an old man, into the city, let's wait outside the city."

"yes."

Tang Lu and Tang Wei rode away, Tang Lan sighed and remained silent.

On the side, a general whose face was covered by a cloak smiled slightly, and said: "What a joke, the granddaughter occupied the city but did not let her grandfather enter the city. That's why."

Tang Lan turned around and glanced at him, and said with a faint smile, "Can't General Xiang see that all the members of the Tang family are mediocre, except for Xiao Xi, who is daring even though she is a daughter. Nearly 500,000 troops from the Yihe Kingdom surrounded Lanyan City. No one in the world would dare to resist. Only my rebellious granddaughter, Xiaoxi, had the courage to stand up and fight against famous generals such as Ji Yao, Long Qianlin, and Ding Xi without defeat. "

The mysterious general smiled slightly, and said: "This is the truth, Tang Xiaoxi is the only one with the most courage in the entire Tang Sect."

"So..."

Tang Lan sighed, and said with a smile: "Even if Xiao Xi does something disobedient, I can't get angry with her. She is my greatest pride, Tang Lan, and the only hope of our Tang Sect."

"Then... what Lord Lan is going to do now, just stay outside Lanyan City."

"No."

Tang Lan's eyes flashed brightly, and he said: "Yihe Kingdom has captured most of the empire's territory with the momentum of a whale, but now it is at the end of its rope, they can only retreat again and again, Muyu City in the province of Yunzhong The army has already left the customs, we can't wait, and we don't have time to wait, we must seize more land before Qin Yin steps into Lanyan City."

"Mr. Lan is wise, I don't know if there is anything I need Xiang Yu to do."

"I'll give you a team. If you raid the Earth and Star Province directly south of Lanyan City at starry night, you must take Cold Star City for me and make Cold Star City our jurisdiction. Tell me, how many troops are needed."

"Two thousand cavalry are enough." Xiang Yu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled confidently.

"two thousand."

Tang Lan also smiled: "As expected, you are a descendant of the military god Xiang Wentian. This kind of arrogance is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people. The old man will give you three thousand cavalry, and you must recover the entire Lengxing Province within three days. Can you do it?"

"Yes, the last general takes orders."
