Zhongdu Longyang is like a giant dragon lingering on the Central Plains. Since Taizu's reconstruction, it has been the center of the empire's heartland. However, in early 999, the Western coalition forces colluded with traitors and captured Longyang within half a month, causing all the empires to fall into the enemy.

Now, more than three months have passed, and more than 6,000 Han soldiers and cavalry, plus more than 10,000 rebels and reserve military and civilians, will regain the lost glory.

What they had to face was a city wall that was nearly twenty meters high, and about 20,000 Western coalition infantry, a thousand Xianbei cavalry, and nearly ten thousand families and slaves of the Western coalition army.

If we look at it normally, the number of enemies is not large, and even pitifully small. But Longyang is the central capital of the empire after all, and the city walls are so high that it is second only to the imperial capital and the Dongdu Wanghai. Moreover, Longyang has the second largest ordnance field in the empire, the Longyang advanced ordnance field. Even if the Western coalition forces cannot produce high-level ordnance like bed crossbows after being occupied, ordinary defensive equipment should be able to be produced.

Such a strong city, combined with excellent city defense equipment, 20,000 people are enough to withstand several times the attack.

What's more, Lei Dongfeng and his team are not as powerful as the opponent now, and the level of siege can only reach the level of siege when the infantry army led by Sima Nan arrives.

Moreover, even if the troops are enough to attack the city now, the Western coalition forces will inevitably fight to the death if they have no way to retreat. The casualties caused by the Han soldiers are not something that the Kuanglan Army is currently in the process.

Therefore, even if Lei Dongfeng is worried and doubtful about Jose's actions in the East China Sea Province, he can only put it aside for the time being and seriously deal with the current situation.

"Only the current strategy is to attack the mind and take advantage of the best strategy." Lei Dongfeng looked at the Longyang City Defense Map found for him by the Taishang Taoist Temple Dao Xu Huanzong in front of him, and pondered.

"Well, who is the one responsible for Longyang City defense now?" Li Ruoxi asked.

"The people responsible for the city defense are Menger, the 10-man master of the Teutonic Principal, and Blusconi, the 10-man master of the Rodin Principal." Xu Huanzong reached.

"What are the personalities of these two people? What are their characteristics?" Li Ruoxi asked again.

"Go and invite Miss Luola." Lei Dongfeng said to Wang Jiantang.

Soon, Rolla walked into the temporary combat command center, behind him was Adelman, who was inseparable from him, and for a moment, the eyes of officers in the room were all staring at him.

"Miss Rora, do you know Mengel and Blusconi?" Lei Dongfeng asked Rora.

"Well, I know a little bit that one is the commander of the ten thousand men of the Duchy of Teutonic, and the other is the commander of the Principal of Rodin. Among them, Blusconi is the deputy commander of the eastern expedition of the Principal of Rodin. What's wrong with them?" Roland asked.

"Sister Luola, I want to know what their personalities and their shortcomings are. Can you tell me?" Li Ruoxi smiled sweetly.

"Well, I haven't had much contact with Mengel, but based on my limited understanding several times, this person should be as rigorous and rigid as ordinary Teutonics; as for Blusconi, the leader of the Holy Order, I still understand that this person has a good personality, not as frivolous as ordinary Rodin, and even has some toughness. He is one of the few hardliners among the Rodin people, but because he advocates the establishment of the Holy Rodin Empire, he is not popular among other officers in the coalition forces. Many people were crazy that day." Ronal obviously liked Li Ruoxi, a girl with a bright eyebrows, gently pulled her hand and said.

"Well, it seems that this is Blusconi, the breakthrough point." Li Yan smiled with a big mouth.

"No..." Li Ruoxi and Zhang Ce said at the same time.

"Well, it's true. Blusconi is obviously a religious maniac. He will definitely act unreasonably, and his attitude must be extremely stubborn. Starting from him, things will go in trouble. By the way, Lola, I heard that the Teutonics look down on the Rodans very much. Is there anything wrong with this?" Lei Dongfeng pondered.

"Well, in West 6, the Teutonics are famous for being rigorous, rigid, but most resilient, and there are several national concepts. The power of the Holy See is also the weakest in Teutonics; the Rodins were not different from the Teutonics, but were born to like art, but were controlled by the family for a long time. All art has become a tool for serving the Holy See, and their nature is suppressed, their national concepts are weak, and their personality is somewhat weak, so they are not loved by the Teutonics. Especially in the war between Teutonics and Falls two hundred years ago, the Rodins and Teutonics agreed to attack our country together. Thinking of the Teutonics' slightly frustrated on the northern line, the Rodins turned to the arms of our Falls. For this matter, the two countries also hated each other." Lola talked about it. Two countries, one was the main competitor of the Kingdom of Falls in West 6, and the other was the Rodins who were annoying to everyone. Lola had no good feelings for them.

"Well, that's it. Let Mengel, who has a typical Teutonic personality, touch this rare tough Rodanese Blusconi." Lei Dongfeng smiled.

"Dao, has Longyang's latest information been reported?" Lei Dongfeng turned to Xu Huanzong.

"Well, the people guarding the four gates of Longyang are all Sisli people. As for whether a large number of ships have left the port in Longyang recently, there is no definite news yet." Xu Huanzong said hurriedly.

"That's right. A few days ago, a pair of Sisley's swordsman brigade surrendered to Tongguan. They were brought by us, but now they are just in use." Li Ruoxi nodded, and she had the idea of ​​the Sisley Centurion commander Leo Bella, who surrendered to Tongguan according to Jing Zhan's wishes.

There, Obella waited for Jing Zhan at the base and refused to return. She was extremely tired of the war, so she simply followed Jing Zhan's instructions before leaving and went to Tongguan at night. When they arrived, Lei Dongfeng and others had already left. Jiang Zhuying saw Jing Zhan's recommendation letter and arranged them into the Tongguan military camp to temporarily assist the work of the Kuanglan Army, and strictly ordered them not to be discriminated against and bullyed them.

This time, Li Ruoxi insisted on bringing Leobella and several of his confidants by his side, but she kept making such an idea.

"This matter needs Xu Dao to cooperate; Miss Luola also needs you to cooperate." Lei Dongfeng smiled after knowing the causes and consequences.

Xu Huanzong nodded with a smile, and Luola nodded in agreement.

~~~~~~~~

In the early morning of April 18, 999, the Central and Southern Provinces of the Empire, Zhongdu Longyang.

Since the Ars army left Longyang, this ancient capital with a thousand-year history has become like a ghost. At night, especially in the second half of the night, even the Western Alliance soldiers who were patrolling were unable to see it.

These soldiers agreed to choose to hide in the military camp and drink and play cards, and were unwilling to patrol the streets with the hatred eyes of the Han people conveyed from the windows of the houses.

With the Han soldiers and the Han Lan Army attacking from all directions outside the city, Menger and Blusconi, who lacked mobile cavalry, could only choose to let all the soldiers huddle in the city.

At this moment, there is a side alley next to Baibu Street in the west of the city. This alley is rarely visited during the day, and it is even more lost. After eating the night wind, it brings out a piece of dust. Deep in the alley is an inconspicuous land temple. Due to the war, the incense of this temple has been interrupted for a long time. Half of the wooden doors creaked in the wind. Occasionally, one or two subtle calls of mice sounded in the dark temple, adding a bit of defeat.

Suddenly, a subtle fire lighted up in the corner of the side hall of the temple. The side hall was surrounded by gables of other houses, with only a small door facing the temple, so the dim candlelight was not noticed.

Then, two figures flashed from the corner next to the temple to the alley beside the door, and stepped on the narrow alley wall, flexibly turned over and jumped onto the roof, quietly laying on it, monitoring the movements in the street.

And in the room, there were several people talking softly.

"Dao means that as soon as the city gate is opened tomorrow morning, the brothers of the Kuanglan Army will be brought in." A man dressed in a vendor told the others.

These people are the inside line arranged by the Taishang Taoist Temple Dao Xu Huanzong in Longyang City.

"The Westerners only open the city gate once a day, and only half an hour at a time. How can they pick them up?" Another one seemed like a teaching.

"Isn't it a vegetable delivery truck tomorrow? That's it..." The man dressed in a vendor smiled, and the rest of the people were excited when they heard this.

~~~~~~~~

On the morning of April 17, 999, the Central and Southern Empire provinces, the west gate of Longyang, Zhongdu.

In order to strictly prevent the Han soldiers from catching up with the city, after leaving the Ars army, the temporary commander of the Toutun Army, the commander of the Toutun Army, the temporary commander of the Longyang War Zone of the Central and South China province of the Western Allied Forces, Menger, ordered that no one would be allowed to open the city gate without him and the commander of the Ten Thousand Mansion of Rodan, Blusconi, the commander of the city gate.

But the Western coalition was also human, and was born to parents, and had to live a meal. So despite this restriction on entry and exit, and the Han soldiers did not siege the city these days. According to the scouts' inquiries, more than 10,000 people gathered in Rongyang Prefecture, eighty miles away. Therefore, there were always a large cart transporting vegetables, fruits and melons from outside the city entering and leaving the west gate once every day.

Of course, these Han people did not voluntarily transport food to Longyang. Instead, there was a team of Western coalition troops stationed in nearby towns five or six miles away, specializing in collecting these materials. Their daily task was to force these Han people to provide food and drink for the Western coalition forces.

In fact, there is no food in Longyang. At least Ars left enough food for these 20,000 people to eat for a month. But there is no such thing as vegetables in the city. It is really unbearable for Blusconi, who is used to living a comfortable life. After a fight with Menger, Menger reluctantly agreed to let the city transport vegetables in, provided that there are no large number of Han soldiers near Longyang. Of course, there are also restrictions on time, only half an hour.

Menger didn't believe it. He could attack a strong city like Longyang with just the more than 10,000 Han soldiers gathered in Rongyang Prefecture.

On this day, it was past six o'clock in the morning, and just dawn, the big cart for delivering vegetables came outside the city gate. When the Western Alliance soldiers guarding the gate heard the sound of the door, they quickly put down the suspension bridge and opened the city gate.

The person in charge of guarding Ximen was a 100-man team from the Kingdom of Sisley.

The ones who ate the dishes were Blusconi, and some senior officers, but the ones guarding the gate were these unlucky Sisleys and soldiers from several other small countries.

Because guarding the gate was really a tiring job, and at this time it was no longer as usual, there was no caravan, and civilians were in and out, and these people could not get any good or bad. Therefore, these Sisleys, who were weak in power and soldiers from several other countries, were almost all sent to such thankless positions.

A commander Sisley walked to the convoy, looked carefully at the customs clearance documents, and asked his soldiers to check the carriage carrying vegetables.
