Duan Zhixuan got up and lifted the print in his hand, and the soldiers below half-knelt on the ground and shouted: "See Manager Duan!" ”

"For the Demon King Chitose, for the Great Demon Country, I am for the people of the Great Demon Kingdom; Fight the enemy! ”

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!" ”

After taking the stage to pay homage to the commander, Duan Zhixuan invited Cheng Zhijie and others to return to the military tent, and he became the lord; Cheng Zhijie sat sideways to accompany him, and his subordinates were divided into left and right.

Now Duan Zhixuan is full of spirits and has completely recovered from the blow of defeat. He greeted everyone, pointed to the sand table in front of him and said, "Everyone, please see, what we thought about in the early stage was to defend the enemy from the country step by step." However, the enemy's strength is several times that of ours, and in doing so, we can only be passive and beaten everywhere.

If it weren't for the lives of the soldiers of our Great Demon Kingdom, plus the equipment was well-equipped; It may have already been broken through by the enemy in many places.

Now though some places have been lost; But look, our roundabout space has come out.

In this battle, first of all, the enemy is nameless, and we are obedient to the heavens and occupy the time; And here is our territory, and the location is also in our hands; In addition, we are united, but the enemy is suspicious of each other, and people are also in our hands.

With these conditions, we will not fight with the enemy city by county; We should be able to lure the enemy to attack, and then intersperse and divide the enemy to form a local advantage; Eliminate them little by little. ”

The general listened to his explanation and nodded secretly; Cheng Zhijie looked at Duan Zhixuan, who was high-spirited and pointed out the country, and was relieved; This is the level that Duan Zhixuan should have, and he is worthy of his tenth ranking in Lingyan Pavilion.

In accordance with his request, the soldiers of the Great Demon Kingdom quickly moved into action. First of all, Duan Zhixuan personally led 10,000 people to garrison Dingtao as a bait to attract the attention of the enemy.

Cheng Zhijie and others divided their troops and scattered them on the southwest of Shandong. Their task is to harass and fight Li Mi; forced him to divide his army; And then annihilated one by one.

Li Mi, who was marching into the army, had to order the troops to stop; He frowned tightly, and the Great Demon Kingdom changed its previous way of fighting, attacking everywhere like a swarm of flies; Even Caozhou reported that there was a trace of the enemy.

The chaotic situation made it impossible for him to find out where the enemy's main forces were? It's hard to decide. Li Yuanji sneered: "Why should we care where the enemy is? Just keep fighting. Lay down Jeongtao, Jeju, and Qiju. Are you still afraid that he Cheng Zhijie won't come out? ”

Li Mi shook his head slightly and said, "What's the use of us laying down these places?" The people of the Great Demon Kingdom all support Cheng Zhijie, not only do we not get any benefits; When the time comes, rebellions everywhere will be suppressed by assigning troops. ”

Li Jiancheng said: "King Wei is too careful. I believe that in such a big place as the Great Demon Country, Cheng Zhijie can't be exhaustive, there are always people who resist. For example, the Cui family of Qinghe took refuge in Dou Jiande. There are also people who have a long heart, as long as we appease them with benevolent government, these people will not necessarily rebel. ”

"What King Yin said also makes sense. But it takes some time and a stable environment. If we can't destroy the army of the Great Demon Kingdom; They were messing around in the back; All these things are false.

Don't forget why we are united, we are because the strength of the Great Demon Kingdom is too strong, and we want to destroy their living force, not to snatch one or two cities.

And have you seen it, the terrain of Dingtao is more complex and more dangerous than Caozhou. The enemy only needs to have 10,000 horses to garrison; We can't move an inch.

If we are trapped in Dingtao, if the Great Demon Kingdom raids Cao County, our grain route will be cut off at that time, which is tantamount to a turtle in an urn. What do you think should happen then? ”

Li Yuanji stiffened his neck and said, "These are all your guesses!" Maybe the enemy is trying to delay our journey so that we can mobilize a large army from all over the world to encircle and suppress us. ”

Li Mi nodded slightly and said, "Yes, what you said also makes sense; However, Zhuge was cautious all his life; We had to be small; There's nothing wrong with leaving an extra back road. I thought I decided to send two partial divisions to attack Juye and Dongming; What do you think about keeping our flanks safe? ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "King Wei, this is an old opinion, and we agree." So be it! I led the army to attack Juye, and then attacked Dingtao from the flank to join the King of Wei. ”

Li Mi nodded and said, "Okay!" Then we'll decide; I ordered Wang Bodang to lead an army of 30,000 to take Dongming directly as the commander-in-chief; Then let's meet at Dingtao. At that time, with these two cities, we can attack and retreat; Let's see what other waves the Great Demon Kingdom can make. ”

Li Jiancheng led his army of about 40,000 to take Juye, and Wang Bodang sent troops to Dongming; They split into three ways and began to approach closer.

Wang Wendu heard that Li Jiancheng led an army of 40,000 to attack Juye; He also knew the contents of the Dingtao meeting, and his eyes twinkled; Carefully observe the situation around Juye.

"Command! Wartime level preparations, all residents must evacuate the giant field within three days! Juye City will enter a state of military control for a period of time in the future; It may also become enemy-occupied territory at any time; If you don't want to go, you do it at your own risk! ”

"Yes!" Someone quickly gave an order, and Juye City was in chaos, and people were shouting and neighing everywhere.

Wang Wendu smiled coldly and said, "Li Jiancheng!" Hum! You deserve your bad luck; Let's fight first, and I'll make Juye your grave! ”

Wang Hu, who was stationed in Dongming, was one of the people who met Lao Cheng and followed him when he was a child; and his sister Wang Erya is also one of Cheng Zhijie's princesses; This also made him one of the few old men who continued to be active in the military.

He also received an order from Duan Zhixuan; knew that Li Mi sent Wang Bodang to lead an army of 30,000 to attack, but he only had about 5,000 people in his hands; It's very different from the enemy. Duan Zhixuan asked him to act on camera, and he could quit Dongming if necessary.

However, Wang Hu felt that he couldn't be sorry for Cheng Zhijie's trust, and he couldn't embarrass these people who followed Cheng Zhijie at the earliest, so he decided to defend Dongming to the death.

Thinking of this, Wang Hu gathered all the generals together, and he said loudly to everyone: "Now Li Mi has sent Wang Bodang to lead an army of 30,000 to attack me; I intend to live and die with Dongming to repay the demon king Chitose! If you are willing to leave, our army will not stop you, so please leave all of them today. After today, if anyone dares to say that he abandoned the city, he will be killed! ”

The generals stood up straight and shouted: "I am willing to follow the general and live and die with Dongming City!" ”

Wang Hu looked around and laughed: "Okay! This is the soldier of our Great Demon Kingdom! Come on, give me the four gates of Dongming to be completely sealed, the enemy will not retreat, the reinforcements will not come or we will not die clean, the city gates will never be opened! ”

Li Jiancheng led the army to the foot of Juye City, and found that the gate of Juye City was empty, and the city was silent.

The two were shocked. Li Yuanji said: "The eldest brother will take the younger brother up to take a look later!" Li Jiancheng shook his head and said: "Third brother, what you have to do is the boss, don't rush to the front line at every turn." Let someone else do it! Saying that, Li Jiancheng beckoned, and his general Wang He cautiously approached Juye with 1,000 soldiers.

Wang Wendu was slightly disappointed when he saw that Li Yuanji did not come up; He ordered his men to aim at the enemy's generals, and when he saw them approaching, he waved his hand violently; The city shouted to kill the sky, and the flag swayed; Ambushes abounded.

Wang He just shouted: "Charge!" "Suddenly, he found that the city was full of people, and he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground." Fall back! As soon as he said a word, arrows rained down on the city, and a large part of them were aimed at him.

A feather duster appeared on the ground in an instant, and blood gushed out. The rest of the Tang army died and fled, but they were shot to the ground without running two steps.

Li Yuanji had a layer of cold sweat on his head, the guard of this great demon country was really cunning, fortunately he listened to the advice and did not go up, otherwise Wang He's consequences would be his own end.

"Siege!" When Li Yuanji saw that the enemy had closed the city gate unhurriedly, he couldn't help but be furious and shouted; Grabbed a shield and rushed out first.

Yuan Mujue roared angrily, followed by Li Yuanji and rushed up, and the Tang army dispatched 10,000 troops at once to start attacking Juye for the first time.

Wang Wendu looked at it coldly, and waited until the enemy was approaching, and then shouted: "Shoot!" "For a while, arrows rained down on the city, and the Tang army was shot into a large area.

"Don't stop! Resist the three-plate axe of the Great Demon Kingdom, and we will win! Li Yuanji commanded the army to rush and kill, and the Tang army hid behind the giant shield and slowly advanced.

Gradually, they passed through the place where Wang He died in battle; Glancing at the corpses of their compatriots, they all shuddered.

"Charge! Avenge the dead robes! Li Yuanji yelled to boost morale; The Tang army gradually quickened its pace.

Unfortunately, I didn't rush out far, but I heard a plop, and then the screams rang out. Li Yuanji screamed badly, and suddenly felt that the war horse that sat down had reached the bottom of the horse's hooves; Knocked him up.

"Shoot! Aim for Lee Won-gil to shoot! Wang Wendu was overjoyed when he saw it in the city, and hurriedly gave the order to attack.

Yuan Mujue already knew that it was not good when he heard Li Yuanji's exclamation, and he kicked the stirrup and jumped up; The giant shield in his hand blocked the arrow that shot at Li Yuanji out of bounds, and then landed next to Li Yuanji and ran away with him in his arms.

Li Jiancheng saw that the enemy had dug pits of different sizes on the road he charged, and there were also sharp bamboo sticks and wooden sticks all over it; Lose all of a sudden's men; Even Li Yuanji was unfortunately hit and almost died; I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Collect the troops!" A gong sounded, and the Don army ended the first attack and retreated like a tidal wave. Li Jiancheng didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly went to check Li Yuanji's injuries.

Li Yuanji was not seriously injured, but he was hit by two arrows in the thigh, which was not fatal; A military medical officer examined his wounds; It turned out that there was a golden arrow with a barbed hook on it; This arrow also pierced the deepest into the leg bone.
