Chapter 48: The Dilemma

Duan Zhong thinks his plan is flawless, but why? It was supposed to be an extremely clean and neat sneak attack, but instead it became a siege and annihilation battle, and the object of the siege became ...... A soldier on his own Dali side. Although under the bombardment of artillery, the soldiers of Daliang have been attrition very seriously, but in this short period of time, the cavalry of Dali has suffered extremely heavy casualties under the continuous explosion of "mines", and has lost at least 2,000 men and horses...... Withdrawal.

Landmines, how can such a thing appear in this world, in Duan Chong's treasure book, there is no record of landmines, this kind of thermal weapon except himself, who has the ability to bring such a thing as "landmines" to this world? Suddenly, Duan Chong's brain shook, and a person's influence appeared vaguely in his mind, could it be that he came to this world with him...... That person, and it seemed that only this explanation could work, and for a while, Duan Chong's heart beat violently again.

Between the lightning and flint, Duan Zhong had already made up his mind, and withdrew his troops, because what he encountered was extraordinary, since he was able to come up with a thermal weapon similar to a "mine", then why didn't he use some other thermal weapons that Duan Chong didn't know? Duan Zhong is because of his limited knowledge, so he can't make more high-end and powerful weapons, but his opponent is ...... Not necessarily, so if you don't withdraw the army, next, it is very likely to face even greater losses, the order flag in your hand is waving, Dali's army is singing gold and withdrawing troops, at the same time, Duan Chong's body is rushing forward, at this moment, Duan Chong has already made up his mind, originally Dali still has artillery to rely on, but if the enemy can have "mines", then it is not impossible to have another cannon, and since the army of Xiao Zhengrong and Xiao Beiping can have this kind of thermal weapon, Then Xiao Li's army may also have it, so if Dali's army is allowed to suffer from the enemy in Yanjing's belly, the hope of winning is extremely slim, because the cannon that Dali has always relied on has lost its deterrent effect, and this world seems to have entered the era of hot weapons from the era of cold weapons all of a sudden, which is something that Duan Zhong never expected.

And at this moment, what Duan Chong has to do is to personally rush to the other party's camp, capture Xiao Beiping and Xiao Zhengrong alive, and completely wipe out and erase the remnants of this big beam army in the east of the eye, so that he can have the energy to concentrate on dealing with Xiao Li's troops, and this is also the only feasible way at the moment.

In an instant, Duan Chong crossed over the heads of countless returning Dali soldiers and Daliang soldiers who rushed to kill, and instantly rushed into the opponent's camp, directly towards the military flag of the enemy camp, and among the military flags, Xiao Beiping and Xiao Zhengrong's eyes were staring at Duan Chong, and at the same time there was a sense of helplessness and hatred, Duan Chong fell in front of Xiao Beiping and Xiao Zhengrong's war horses without hindrance, and glanced at the two of them lightly, but did not speak.

But Xiao Beiping pursed the corners of his mouth, squeezed out a smile and said, "I guess you will come, and you really came!" ”

Duan Zhong nodded expressionlessly: "Then you...... Know what I'm here for! ”

Xiao Zhengrong rushed to say: "Kill!" ”

Duan took a heavy breath, sighed again, and shook his head helplessly, but Xiao Beiping shook his head: "If you want to do it, you can do it, don't be coy here!" ”

Duan Zhong touched his nose and nodded, the sword in his hand was raised slightly, glowing with a little silver light, and at this time, a figure suddenly squeezed out between the two horses ridden by Xiao Zhengrong and Xiao Beiping, Duan Chong frowned, and his face immediately changed greatly: "Xiao Li!" ”

The face of this person is very hideous under the firelight, a scar runs across the face, it looks very terrifying, it is Xiao Li, the third prince of Daliang, there is no doubt, Xiao Li glanced at Duan Chong, and looked very satisfied with Duan Chong's surprised expression: "Why can't it be me, you can lead the troops to raid, can't I come to the rescue!" ”

Duan Chong shook his head, knowing that it didn't make any sense to care about why Xiao Li was here at this moment, so Duan Chong just narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Li for a moment: "Your injuries are not completely healed, you are not my opponent!" ”

Xiao Li's eyes also narrowed, but he laughed and said, "Whether I can beat you or not today, if I want to take away my two nephews, it's impossible!" ”

Duan Chong didn't wrinkle and said, "So confident! ”

Xiao Li nodded, but it was a slap, only to hear a crisp sound of "bang", and all the surrounding Liang sergeants immediately had more black iron pipes in their hands, and Duan Chong suddenly felt a chill in his heart when he saw it: gun.

But Duan Zhong immediately reacted, the things in the hands of these Liang sergeants were not at the level of a "gun", at best they were a "fire gun", but even if it was a fire gun, this power was probably extremely amazing, and Duan Zhong knew that at this time, he realized that the hundred Liang soldiers in the army were all martial arts masters of the third and fourth stages, and the cold sweat on his back was dripping down his back.

If it is said that the grandmaster-level master is an invincible existence in the era of cold weapons, it is not wrong, but if it is in the era of hot weapons, it is doubtful that these hundreds of firearms will shoot a salvo at him, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand it no matter what, and he will always take one or two bullets, plus this Xiao Li is harassing on the side. Although it is not always a loss, it seems to be very difficult to take away Xiao Zhengrong and Xiao Beiping from the army.

Xiao Li looked at Duan Zhong and said, "What, do you still want to give it a try, the longer it drags on, the more Dali's soldiers will die!" As he spoke, he pointed to the firearm in the hand of the Liang soldier next to him and said, "There are more weapons like this than here!" ”

Duan Zhongzhong was taken aback, what this means is that this fire gun is not only in the hands of more than 100 masters, it is very likely that the Liang soldiers who are charging into battle also have it, if it is a short battle, the soldiers of Dali will not only suffer in numbers, but also in the weapons, and immediately dare not drag, and shouted: "If you don't take it away, you have to fight to know!" With that, he jumped and swept towards Xiao Beiping and Xiao Zhengrong.

At the moment when Duan Chong flew his body, an extremely powerful aura expanded, spreading to a range of several miles, Duan Chong's momentum as a grandmaster-level master was completely revealed, and for a while, everyone within the range of the aura was as if they were frozen by time, and their movements slowed down a lot, and those with low cultivation could not even move a bit.

At the same time, Xiao Li also let out a long roar, all the momentum on his body was revealed, the powerful aura and Duan Zhong collided in one place, and the air at the junction boiled like boiling water, and under the influence of Xiao Li, the power of this heavy aura suddenly weakened a lot, and the martial arts masters of the third and fourth stages were already able to reluctantly use the fire gun in their hands, and they all fired towards Duan Chong.

Duan Zhong secretly said that it was not good, but he felt a burst of his shoulder and ate a bullet. Although it was only a little painful, even the elephant couldn't withstand the wild gnawing of the ants, so he made up his mind to kill this group of Liang soldiers with firearms first, and this was naturally completely in Xiao Li's expectations, seeing that Duan Zhong gave up Xiao Beiping and Xiao Zhengrong, Xiao Li's figure was not slow at all, but the sword in his hand was like a silver snake conjuring thousands of silver lights, and Duan Zhong was all included, Duan Chong immediately let out a long shout, and the sword in his hand did not let him go, only to hear a loud "boom", Xiao Li's sword light was wiped out by Duan Chong, The power produced was no less than a salvo of ten artillery pieces, and the three or four Liang soldiers around were caught off guard, and they were directly blown up to the ground.

Duan Zhong broke Xiao Li's killing move, but he was not happy at all in his heart, because Duan Zhong had discovered the situation in just a few months, and the cultivation of this effect had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he was able to defeat Xiao Li within three moves that day, but now Xiao Li has the power to parry, if it drags on, I am afraid that it will become more and more unfavorable, seeing that Xiao Li was shaken open, Duan Chong did not dare to hesitate, and the long sword swept away, and the ten Liang soldiers holding the fire gun at the head had been cut off by the waist, and Xiao Li was also entangled again at this time, like maggots on tarsal bones, didn't fight hard with Duan Chong, just trembled, in order to delay Duan Chong's time.

Seeing the passage of time, this heavy was under Xiao Li's entanglement, killing less than half of the Liang soldiers, but he ate no less than forty or fifty bullets. Although he didn't suffer any damage, but the time was consumed a lot, Duan Zhong became more and more anxious the more he fought, and he swept down more than ten Northern Liang soldiers with a sword, but Xiao Li suddenly laughed and said, "Look behind you!" ”

Duan Chongyan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly looked back, only to see the flags on the battlefield behind him, but they were full of banners, Dali's soldiers suffered heavy casualties in a short period of time, and the flags that could be seen were getting fewer and fewer.

Duan Chong's face was blue and white, he didn't expect that a grandmaster-level cultivator would suffer such a big loss, he struggled in his heart, and finally waited for Xiao Li to take a look, but he suddenly swung his sword, killing ten of the remaining fifty Northern Liang soldiers, and roared in a low voice: "There will be a period later!" The figure disappeared in a flash, and directly returned to Dali's camp and ordered the withdrawal of the army, and for a time Dali's army retreated like a flood, and Daliang's army did not pursue, cheering on the spot to clean up the battlefield.

Duan Chong's long-planned war this time is still ...... failed,
