Chapter 237: A Defeat

Hundreds of blood wolf smoke rushed straight into the sky from the Wu Zhou army array, and once again converged into a thick blood cloud. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, this time the blood cloud did not fall down, but instead pressed lower and lower, only three or five feet above the ground, and finally it rained blood rain with flashing blood-colored thunder and lightning.

Wei Hongying's little face tightened, and she reached out and grabbed Tang Ao's sleeve and shook it.

"The array of the inner saint and the outer king can suppress the humane array and the essence blood wolf smoke, but it is by no means the opponent of the Wu Zhou army, the main general on the opposite side will burn the blood of the human emperor, and he does not care about the backlash, and has reached the realm of the human emperor's anger and blood, once the Yangzhou army is drenched by this bloody rain, there will be no one alive."

The taste of falling short was really uncomfortable, Tang Ao was full of confidence before, and expected that the 200,000 Wu Zhou army would be wiped out.

turned out to be reversed, and it was the Yangzhou Army that was about to be destroyed, and there was a risk of complete annihilation, which made him embarrassed how to accept it.

"If I don't fight at the end, I'm unwilling."

Tang Ao no longer listened to Wei Hongying's words, and the runes all over his body flowed, and his body swelled to a hundred zhang high in the blood rain.

The restraint of the Human Emperor's secret technique on the cultivator was immediately apparent, and every drop of blood rain falling on his body would emit blue and white smoke, burning his skin into a little pit.

"Roar!"

Tang Ao roared and shook the sky, his arms soared again, like a tiger into a flock of sheep and rushed into the tide of Wu Zhou's army, killing hundreds of people with one punch and dozens of people with one kick, and being invincible as if entering a no-man's land.

Xue Ne and Cheng Wuting saw Tang Ao's power and immediately took advantage of the situation to counterattack.

The Yangzhou army on both sides was like two sharp swords piercing from the flank of the Wu Zhou army, and according to the previous battle plan, nearly 30,000 Wu Zhou troops were intercepted in the position of the original phantom array.

The essence blood wolf smoke turned into a rain of blood pouring down, and the Yangzhou army had the method of the inner saint and the outer king, and it seemed to have the upper hand.

The 30,000 Wu Zhou army trapped by Tang Ao and Xue Cheng couldn't support it for long, just when Tang Ao also felt that Wei Hongying was alarmist, and the Yangzhou army still had hope of winning.

The position of the Chinese army of Wu Zhou suddenly raised a flag, and he actually abandoned the trapped 30,000 Wu Zhou army and retreated frantically.

This made Tang Ao and the others stunned, but the trapped Wu Zhou army fought hard to break through, and the Yangzhou army had no time to care about why the main force of the Wu Zhou army retreated.

The answer was quickly presented in front of the Yangzhou army and Tang Ao, and the 30,000 Wu Zhou army saw the main force withdraw from the battlefield and immediately gave up the breakthrough and resistance.

Without waiting for the Yangzhou army to come forward to fight, they all used swords to kill themselves and fell on the spot.

The blood of the 30,000 soldiers and the blood water falling from the blood cloud were mixed together, and a wave that made Tang Ao's heart palpitate quickly spread from the ground.

Tang Ao first felt a sharp pain in his feet soaked in blood, and when he looked down, he couldn't help but tremble.

The skin formed by the runes of the Jianmu Leaf, which is known for its defensive power, was actually corroded by the eyes in the blood water.

He subconsciously fled into the air, but the soldiers of the Yangzhou Army did not have such a ability as him.

Whether it is a general or a soldier, after being contaminated with blood, the skin and bones melt, not to mention the dead body, not even the slightest trace is left, and the whole is completely integrated into the strange blood water.

"Ahh

When Tang Ao saw this scene, he seemed to be crumbling by five lightning strikes, and at this time he couldn't care about anything else, so he stretched out his hand to take out the flying car and rescue Xu Jingye and others as much as possible.

The blood clouds in the air caused torrential rain and soon raged into a flood, even if Tang Ao used the secret of the giant spirit, he still felt alone, and the people he could save were extremely limited.

Moreover, in the blood-colored rainstorm, the threat of corrosive power to him became more and more serious, and the skin and flesh were almost exposed, and the bones condensed by the golden diamond god pattern were almost exposed.

The aura mana in the whole body was flowing in a large number of arrows, and it couldn't last long in the blood-colored rainstorm at all.

The Yangzhou army was on the verge of annihilation, and the Wu Zhou army, which retreated ten miles away, was actually not much better.

The handsome Black Tooth Changzhi stood on a mountain bag and looked at the Yangzhou army struggling in the blood clouds and blood rain.

His hair and beard turned white overnight, his eye sockets were deep, and his face was wrinkled, as if he had aged more than twenty years.

Li Xiaoyi only learned the detailed battle plan from the mouth of Heizhi Changzhi before the battle, and he knew that Heizhi Changzhi was a ruthless character.

It's just that I didn't expect that the black tooth Changzhi was ruthless to the enemy, and he didn't spare himself either, and he could give everything for victory.

"Marshal, in addition to the 30,000 tiger ben who were used as bait, there are 100,000 soldiers in our army who can't help but absorb the essence and blood of the great array and die, I am afraid that more than 10,000 people will die one after another, and there are less than 40,000 soldiers who can fight."

The voice of the black tooth Changzhi also aged a lot, and he said hoarsely: "Passing on the order of the marshal, Li Xiaoyi temporarily took the post of the general manager of the marching army, led 30,000 troops to take Yangzhou non-stop, and it was necessary to destroy the foundation of the Yangzhou rebels in one fell swoop, and the palace servant Wei Yuanzhong took over as the supervisor of the army, and led the affairs of the nearby provincial governments, Xue Kegou immediately turned back to Luoyang, the capital of the gods, to escort the grain and grass, and in addition, we must pay close attention to the situation in various places, and be careful that the former Tang clan followed Xu Jingye to raise troops......"

Li Xiaoyi and the others happily accepted the order, and waited for a while to continue to speak.

Li Xiaoyi felt that something was wrong, and stepped forward to touch it gently, only to see the black teeth disintegrate into dust and scatter in all directions.

"This ......" Li Xiaoyi knew that what Hei Zhi Chang had just said was his last words, for the victory of the Wu Zhou army, in order to wipe out the Yangzhou rebels in one fell swoop, Hei Zhi Chang did not hesitate to die.

It is impeccable to do this step for the ministers.

The death of Hei Tooth Changzhi inspired the fighting spirit of Li Xiaoyi and others, but they chose to conceal the death of Black Tooth Changzhi.

Li Xiaoyi believes that this should be one of the last words that Hei Tooth Changzhi did not have time to say.

Turning to look at Wei Yuanzhong and Xue Kegou, he said in a deep voice: "You have heard the order of the great marshal, for the sake of His Majesty Zetian, for the sake of the Great Zhou Sheji, we should take the great marshal as an example, and do our best to die." ”

Following the last orders of Hei Zhi Changzhi, Li Xiaoyi led 30,000 Wu Zhou troops to avoid the blood, rain and flood-ravaged areas, and made a detour to Yangzhou to prepare to destroy the nest of the Yangzhou rebels.

Wei Yuanzhong and Xue Kegou went their own way, on the one hand, they transferred soldiers and horses from various provincial capitals, and on the other hand, they transferred grain and grass from Luoyang, the divine capital.

When the Wu Zhou army approached the city of Yangzhou, Li Xiaoyi found that the four gates of Yangzhou City were wide open and pacified Yangzhou without a fight.

Pegasus immediately delivered good news to Luoyang, and spread the news of the destruction of the Yangzhou rebels to the world.

The Yangzhou army was defeated, and it was even more complete than the previous defeats.

Tang Ao hurriedly rescued Xu Jingye and other backbone of the Yangzhou army, and less than 1,000 people escaped.

The military advisor Wei Siwen urged Xu Jingye not to return to Yangzhou on the flying car, that must be self-defeating, and everyone discussed and decided to settle down in Duliang Mountain, and slowly tried to figure it out.

In Duliang Mountain, Tang Ao and everyone were dejected, rebelled against Wu Zetian, and Kuang restored the cause of Emperor Li Xian, but suffered a heavy blow because of continuous defeats.

Even Tang Ao's confidence was shattered, and the victory was originally decided, but he never wanted to be defeated.

Think about the Yangzhou army at its peak with more than 200,000 soldiers, and now there are three or two big cats and kittens in Duliang Palace, the contrast is so strong that people's hearts are bleeding.

Tang Ao broke the silence, took out the pill from the storage bag, and ordered Xue Chang to give the pill to the injured soldiers.

blamed himself in front of everyone: "It's all to blame Tang for his poor consideration and carelessness of the enemy, which led to the defeat of the Yangzhou army to this point, Tang has an unshirkable responsibility......"

Xu Jingye waved his hand to interrupt Tang Ao's words and said, "What's the use of Lord Tang taking responsibility at this time? The Yangzhou army was defeated, and it was defeated, who of you present wanted to lose the battle? It can only be said that the Wu clan is powerful, and our army has raised troops with the power of a state to resist the crushing of hundreds of thousands of troops in Wu Zhou twice, and it is common sense that it is defeated to be defeated. ”

Xu Jingye's face showed an abnormal ruddyness, and the more he spoke, the more energetic he became: "At that time, we didn't have more than 100 soldiers, and only General Xue and General Cheng were generals, but it was easy to earn Yangzhou, and now there are nearly 1,000 soldiers in a hundred battles, and the military generals are all there, so it's a big deal to start all over again." ”

Tang Ao listened to Xu Jingye's words, and sighed in his heart that after the British Duke was indeed a general, he did not have the influence of a two-faced country without intestines, and he suffered several defeats and was almost spared.

However, after falling to the bottom and suffering a heavy blow, he was still able to arouse his fighting spirit, and he deserved to be the backbone of the Yangzhou army.

Wei Siwen said: "The British public saying is reasonable, there is slang among the people, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, we are now barefoot, Wu Zhoujun is wearing shoes, as long as our fighting spirit is not gone, the banner of resistance to Wu Zhou will not fall." ”

Tang Zhiqi echoed: "Your Excellency is right, the Yangzhou army was defeated, but it was not destroyed, as long as we continue to raise the anti-Zhou banner, there will always be people with lofty ideals to come to defect." ”

After Xu Jingye successfully boosted his morale, he turned his head to look at Tang Ao: "Lord Tang, the reason why the Wu Zhou army was able to win was nothing more than the magic powers of the cultivators. ”

Tang Ao knew that what Xu Jingye was talking about was the inheritance of the secret art of the Human Emperor, and he couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart.

Wei Hongying, who was standing next to Wei Siwen, gave Tang Ao a succession of looks, obviously disagreeing with Tang Ao's teaching of the secret art of the Human Emperor to others.

If no emperor's bloodline forcibly casts secret techniques, it is a double-edged sword, hurting others and hurting oneself even more.

"Please Lord Tang teach us the magic powers." Xue Ne, Tang Zhiqi and others paid a big salute and begged Tang Ao to teach the emperor the secret arts.

Tang Ao suddenly had the uncomfortable taste of being roasted on the fire, and hesitated and was in a dilemma.

Wei Hongying suddenly whispered twice in Wei Siwen's ear, Wei Siwen's face changed slightly, and he looked at his righteous daughter Wei Hongying with inquiring eyes.

Seeing Wei Hongying solemnly nodding her little head, she hurriedly got up and said: "This matter is not proper, the humane array, the law of the inner saint and the outer king, all have unbearable sequelae, if you don't believe it, you can send clever soldiers to the Wu Zhou army camp to spy on it, Wu Zhou army because of the humane array, the casualties are only afraid of worse, the main general may be killed, the humane array is like the medicine of the tiger and wolf, although the food can greatly increase the strength, but the effect of the medicine is unbearable, Lord Tang must not spread the humanitarian array, not the blessing of the Yangzhou army." ”
