King Wu's army was defeated miserably, and the 50,000-man horse meandered back to the flag city.
Huo Yuan was riding on the horse with his brows furrowed and his face as black as iron. He was constantly thinking about how to gather an army and how to attack Tiancheng for revenge after returning to Flag City. The army walked to the official road thirty miles south of Tiancheng. They saw that they had walked for two hours, and it was the time when the men and horses were tired.
Suddenly I heard the sound of a drum, and shouts of killing came from the high ground from all directions. Immediately afterwards, another wave of arrows fell from the sky, like a punishment from the gods, and like the shadow of the plague god!
"How is it possible! We are already thirty miles away from Tiancheng. Could it be that Li Chunjin still has no idea how to set up an ambush here!" Huo Yuan was so angry that he finally felt a trace of fear in his heart! He never imagined that Li Chunjin, a woman, was so scheming and ten times more courageous than a man.
"Whoever kills Huo Yuan will be rewarded with a million silver coins! Whoever kills Huo Yuan will be rewarded with a million silver coins!"
Following a round of crossbows, hundreds of thousands of soldiers in white armor surrounded the mountains and fields, shouting to kill Huo Yuan!
"Follow me and rush out!" Seeing this, Huo Yuan had no intention of fighting the enemy. He only had the instinct to escape.
The two armies are fighting here. This time, one side is defeated like a mountain, and the other side is fierce! Huo Yuan did not dare to look back, so he rode his horse and rushed away from the crowd towards the flag city. Arrows kept flying along the way, so he could only rush forward with his head down.
Is that so? Seventy to eighty percent of the one hundred thousand armored troops were lost in half a day, twenty thousand were captured, and only a few thousand remnants fled in all directions.
After the battle was over, the Tiancheng army gathered together. Only then did they see the commander come forward. The woman was in her twenties, a beautiful woman with a beautiful moon face. And this girl is not Li Chunjin, but Tiema Zhen Qiuwen.
"Haha, Sister Jin, you are really good at predicting things. In just half a day, the great hero Huo Yuan was killed like a lost dog. If not for my sister's order to spare Huo Yuan's life, I would have killed him today." Qiu Juan glanced at the battlefield and smiled. road.
The old man with a cold face and a white mask on the side put away his halberd and said: "Huo Yuan has been defeated. He has suffered heavy losses this time. He will definitely not dare to leave Flag City again. This battle in Dragon City will definitely lack manpower. I will use Pegasus now. Rush to Dragon City to lend a helping hand to Marshal Li, leave the fish spirit and the land lord to protect the girl, and together we will look after the safety of Tiancheng."
"Thank you, shopkeeper Jinyu. I understand." Qiu Juan said.
It turns out that Zen Master Yuhai has been following Qiuwen for protection these days. After Sima Yue attacked the city, Luofan knew that Qiuwen of Tiema Town would be retaliated by Feng Yuan, so he asked her to come to Tiancheng to help Li Chunjin. It was the halberd of the murdered great Zen master that made Huo Yuan dare not fight back. This time Li Chunjin got a handwritten letter from Luofan, asking her to stop King Wu and King Liang from entering Longcheng. In the first battle, after Li Chunjin repelled Huo Yuan head-on, he handed over the overall situation to Qiu Juan, while he led his elite troops to Longcheng for support.
The situation in Huo Yuan was decided, so Li Chunjin immediately led 50,000 elite troops and detoured to Shegu Mountain in the southeast.
On another day of march, Shegu Mountain was one hundred and fifty miles away from Longcheng. The army of Liang Wang Wu Zhixiu rested at the foot of the mountain.
Na Liang King Wu Zhixiu is only thirty-five years old this year, but he has inherited the throne for twelve years. Rumor has it that he conspired to poison his father Wu Zhiqi and his three brothers before he ascended to the throne. After he ascended the throne, it was convenient for the Tiansha Alliance to secretly coddle and exploit the people. When the world met, Luofan killed all the Tiansha Alliance and gave Wu Zhiqi a blow in the head. Now that he came with an army of 150,000, he naturally wanted to avenge the blood and share a share of the pie with the kings. The reason why the kings agreed to Sima Yue's coming this time was that they were worried that if the four major families were really eradicated by Li Benxin, then the status of the kings in the future would be worrying. Secondly, it was Sima Yue who promised them benefits. If Sima Yue took control of the court, he not only promised to expand the territories of the kings, but also divided the thirty-six cities into private fiefdoms for the kings, allowing them to govern their own affairs. You must know that although the kings had the power to command the military in the past, they had no power to govern the local areas. The thirty-six local cities were still managed by the city lord's palace and the chief capture department under the Tiandu dynasty. What Sima Yue did was tantamount to allowing them to form separate kingdoms, which was naturally a great temptation for the kings.
During the great battle of the Chinese army, more than fifty generals sat leisurely on both sides, with fine wine and food in front of them, and beauties singing and dancing. Wu Zhixiu sat in front, wearing a golden dragon armor, chatting and laughing. There was also a veteran standing next to him, holding a green sword in his arms. Here is the sixth of the ten most famous swords in the world, 'Qing Ming'. And this veteran is also well-known in the world, nicknamed "Qingfeng Ghost" Ding Yu.
"Haha, generals, eat and drink well. In a few days, when we arrive at Dragon City, I will have to give you a big fight. When we enter the city, I will treat you to a banquet in the restaurant. If this can help Sima Yue After winning the Tiandu dynasty, I, the kings, will divide the world, and you will be a king at that time!" Wu Zhixiu drank a few more glasses of wine, and then started to speak in full detail.
"Commander, we are only one hundred and fifty miles away from Dragon City. If we walk a few more steps today, we can reach Dragon City at night. Why are we so slow to move forward here? I am afraid that there will be many changes in Dragon City, and I am also afraid of the consequences. They were robbed by King Iron and King Nan." Nian Qiu, the general at the front, said worriedly even though he was in his forties.
"Haha, General Nian, don't be anxious, don't be anxious. I just got the news that Sima Yue and the four major families were all put under house arrest by Xue Yang in the palace, saying that he wanted to cure Li Benxin and pray for blessings. Now there are dozens of people from King Nan, King Tie, and King Wu. Tens of thousands of troops, as well as Sima Yue's 150,000 cavalry, and hundreds of thousands of troops from the Black and White Alliance should have gathered under Dragon City. And Dragon City has an army of 200,000 from King Protector Li Chaoren, as well as the city protection department, the ban There are hundreds of thousands of guardsmen, plus the civilian army, there are also hundreds of thousands. We are located in a remote area in the southeast, and we can't compete with them from afar. It's better to wait until Li Benxin is dead, and these armies will fight. We will be late. Wouldn't it be nice to reap the benefits in two or three days?" Wu Zhixiu said with a smile.
"That makes sense. I'm just afraid that Sima Yue and the others will say that we have betrayed our trust and it will be difficult to hold us accountable." Nianqiu added.
"Hey, I have my own way of dealing with this, so there's no need to worry." Wu Zhixiu said with a smile.
"That's okay. But we are only one hundred and fifty miles away from Dragon City. We are currently camping in Shegu Mountain. If the enemy attacks from a high place, it will be difficult for us to defend ourselves. I ask the king to send two teams of soldiers and horses. , and protect the left and right sides of Shegu Mountain." Nian Qiu said again.
"She Gushan? General Nian, you are really thinking too much. These armies are all gathered in Longcheng. They are all busy, waiting for the news of Li Benxin's death to rob Longcheng. How could they come here to sneak attack on me? Worry too much Okay, you’re worrying too much. Just drink tonight and don’t talk about things. Come on, let’s drink all night!”
The crowd had a feast and had a great time, and it was still noisy at night. At this time, suddenly outside the big tent, the patrolling general came running and reported: "Reporting to King Liang, I don't know when there were two golden dragon flags outside the army camp. They read: King Tiandu ordered that King Liang stop here, hurry up. Return the way you came, otherwise you will be killed without mercy. Please leave the camp quickly and check."
When the generals heard the words and listened to the wine glasses in their hands, Wu Zhixiu sneered: "How is that possible! Several armies have already reached the Dragon City. Li Ben, who is mentally and physically heavy with the poison, can't survive more than a day or two. How can he have the energy to divide his troops to shoot?" Gushan, the generals will follow me out to take a look."
Immediately, Wu Zhixiu took the divine sword Qing Ming from Ding Yu's hand and staggered towards the outside of the tent.
Walking out of the camp, I saw that in front of the door, there was green mist and white sand wrapped in cold evil. Two large golden flags swayed in the wind.
"Well, is there really a flag? Who is this flag made by some god? Someone, go and cut off this flagpole." Wu Zhixiu ordered angrily.
More than a dozen soldiers immediately ran away with swords in hand. When they came to the flagpole, before they could raise their knives, they heard a few screams, and the rain of arrows struck them all to death directly under the flagpole.
"Huh? If there are secret soldiers, come here! Send five thousand vanguard troops out to check for me to see if it is the ungrateful person who dares to show off in front of me." Wu Zhixiu said angrily.
Wu Zhixiu had just finished issuing the order and before his soldiers could move, he suddenly saw tens of thousands of sparks coming from the distance, turning the dark sky into color in an instant. There was a loud rumble, like an angry thunder god lifting a hammer, striking the world in horror.
"Ah! It's a bow and arrow. Hurry! Hide!" Everyone reacted quickly and hurriedly surrounded Wu Zhixiu and hid in the tent!
Arrows rained down from both sides of the hillside into the camp. When the rockets hit the ground, the camp immediately burned and the soldiers screamed in agony! Following the Tianmen Divine Spear from the gate, it was like the battlefield killing god entering the camp at night. The 150,000 troops could not see the enemy and fled in all directions!
"Get out! Get out of the mountain, get out of the mountain quickly!" Seeing the place high up, there were crossbows, rolling stones, and wooden logs falling down. Wu Zhixiu was so frightened that he immediately woke up and rushed out under the protection of the shield soldiers.
At the height of Shegu Mountain, Li Chunjin, holding a gun in white armor, saw Wu Zhixiu's army fleeing southward. Then he ordered his subordinates to send out the ambush troops from the east and west, and chased Wu Zhixiu's army for another killing spree.
"Chun Jin, since Wu Zhixiu has been defeated, we don't need to pursue him anymore. Tens of thousands of casualties will be killed and wounded when this army moves. This is too tragic." Luo Tianyao saw the situation from the side and couldn't help but speak out. Discourage.
"If you don't kill the snake, you will end up hurting yourself. If you don't defeat him completely, Wu Zhixiu will still go to Dragon City. When the time comes, all the armies of the kings will besiege Dragon City. Not only will the life of King Tiandu be in danger, but we will also have your master and brothers. He can't survive either. The sky is far away and the fighting is like fire. A woman's kindness cannot be tolerated." Li Chunjin said.
"It's just that there are too many killings like this. These soldiers are also ordinary people. They also have families. It is really pitiful to bury their bodies in the mountains like this." Luo Tianyao said.
Hearing Luo Tianyao's words, Li Chunjin was really embarrassed. Luo Fan had told her at the beginning that once she joined Taiping Pavilion, she would make the world her enemy, and even her relatives and friends might become farther and farther away from her in the future. It seems that this statement is true. However, since you have chosen to work in peace, you cannot be merciful, otherwise the big things will be interrupted midway.
"On the battlefield, being kind to the enemy is cruel to one's own people. Today's killing is for the sake of future peace. Tianyao, don't worry, one day, the world will usher in true peace. Send my military order and attack with all our strength. , Defeat Wu Zhixiu!" Li Chunjin said.
