Li Jiancheng arranged for an army to put on the clothes of the captured Great Demon Kingdom army, take the divine arm bow and go to the city; Li Yuanji and Yuan Mujue automatically asked Ying to lead the team.

didn't expect them to open the city gate fraudulently, but Zhao Cheng found out the clues; Thanks to Yuan Mujue's great might, he did not fall short. But even so, the two armies were scorched at the gates of the city, and nothing could be broken.

This gave Duan Zhixuan valuable time, as soon as he found out that there was a battle in Ximen, he knew that it was not good; Caozhou must not be able to hold it!

Thinking of this, Duan Zhixuan didn't delay at all; After staying behind and breaking off, he ordered Liang Shitai and Bai Suhua to lead the army to retreat quickly; Let them keep the pottery a little bit.

Liang Shitai also knew that the situation was serious, so he quickly led the team and left; Duan Zhixuan led the team to slowly retreat into the city, relying on the alleys to resist and retreat; It was only in the second half of the night that Caozhou City was withdrawn.

Li Mi entered Caozhou, only to find that it was an empty city; And there were flames everywhere; It is clear that the enemy is not willing to leave even an empty city. His face turned blue with anger, and he ordered his army to chase after him, and he must kill Duan Zhixuan.

Duan Zhixuan led the army to fight and go; Wagang generals Cai Jian and Liang Dezhong were in hot pursuit. Duan Zhixuan and the others withdrew from the north gate, and the Wagang army also followed and chased into the city gate.

At this moment, a group of men and horses suddenly rushed out from outside the north gate, each holding a repeater in his hand. Pulling the crossbow machine against the Wagang army, after a rain of arrows, the Wagang army was killed and wounded; The chase is a pause.

Duan Zhixuan saw that it was Liang Shitai who was answering outside. Liang Shitai didn't say a word, dragged him and turned his head and ran; Duan Zhixuan was wondering, and suddenly felt the ground under his feet rolling, and he was taken aback and immediately understood what was going on.

"Get down!" Duan Zhixuan yelled and quickly lay on the ground. The pursuing army behind saw that they all fell to the ground, and were slightly stunned, and then said with great joy: "Rush!" Arrest Duan Zhixuan! ”

As soon as they rushed into the doorway, they felt a movement under their feet, and then "Boom! A muffled thud tossed them all to the ground. The tower shook three times and then collapsed, burying the Wagang army underneath.

Cai Jian is Jianghu people stretched out his hand and jumped out like a back, but he was also shocked by the shock wave and vomited blood. He stared blankly at the cave in the collapsed city gate, where dozens of people were buried; Even the general Zhang Dezhong also died.

"What's going on, this, what's going on? The ground moved? The Wagang generals were all stunned on the spot, and no one knew what to do.

At this time, Wang Bodang brought someone over, and when he saw the situation, he was angry and screamed, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to clear the road. About an hour later, they cleared the city gate again, but at this time, Duan Zhixuan and the others had already disappeared.

Li Mi frowned slightly when he got the report, and he was a little unhappy in his heart; His subordinates are all rice buckets, so that Duan Zhixuan can run away.

Although Duan Zhixuan failed twice in a row, his strength did not suffer much loss; was defeated twice and retreated twice, which gave him a new understanding of Duan Zhixuan; This is a brave and wise general. Why were these people all taken in by Cheng Zhijie? Don't you have it under your hands?

It didn't take long for Li Yuanji to break through the obstacles, kill all the 500 soldiers of the Great Demon Kingdom, and run over covered in blood. The first thing he said when he saw Li Mi was: "King Wei! What about the people of the Great Demon Kingdom? How did you run away? ”

When the Wagang army heard this, they were furious, and they glared angrily one by one. Li Yuanji didn't pay attention to it at all, and continued: "How did so many of you fight and can't even resist a remnant army?" ”

Wang Bodang said angrily: "What do you know? See the breaches in the walls? This is what the people of the Great Demon Kingdom did. They didn't know what weapon to use to blow up the city gate at once, blocking the road of our pursuit, if you want to chase it, please do it! ”

Li Yuanji turned his head to look at the half-collapsed city wall, and exclaimed, "How is this possible? If they have this kind of weapon, where can the cities of the world stop them? ”

Li Mi's face was also heavy, he looked at the city gate and said, "I heard that Pyongyang, which is known as Little Chang'an, let the Great Demon Kingdom bomb him." I wonder if the real Chang'an can withstand such a bombardment? ”

Li Yuanji's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he couldn't speak for a long time. At this time, someone laughed: "How can a mere little Chang'an be compared with Chang'an?" Whether you can stop it is still talking; But I know Wagangzhai, Jin Yongcheng will definitely not be able to wait for such a bombardment. ”

"King Yin." "Big brother!" Everyone turned their heads to look, but found that it was the crown prince Li Jiancheng.

Li Mi smiled: "So the two of us must cooperate sincerely to nip this danger in the bud!" What does King Yin want? ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "What King Wei said is exactly what I thought. ”

The brave general Jiazhi, who was praised by Li Mi, defeated all the way back to Dingtao, and when he got here, he checked some people, and he could gather about 10,000 people, and the losses were still within the bearable range.

Duan Zhixuan sighed and said to everyone: "I am entrusted by the Demon King Chitose to garrison Cao County to resist Li Mi. Unexpectedly, the two wars lost soldiers and generals, and in the end, even Cao County was lost. I decided to ask the Demon King Chitose for his guilt and ask him to send another virtuous person to lead the army. ”

Liang Shitai stood up and said, "The chief don't blame yourself, the Demon King has always told us that failure is the mother of success. During this period of time, your performance has been watched by us; To tell you the truth, I'm convinced! I also ask you to continue to serve as Steward. ”

Duan Zhixuan waved his hand and said, "General Liang is very loving, but I will be punished for my mistakes; Please say no more. ”

The two were arguing, and suddenly a military academy came in to report: "Report! Report to the chief, the generals and demon kings Chitose led the army to the outside of the city. ”

Everyone was startled, stood up with a hula and said, "Then what are you waiting for?" Hurry up and greet it! ”

Everyone ran out of Dingtao City, and saw Cheng Zhijie and Dongfang Yumei leading 10,000 horses waiting outside the city.

"See Demon King Chitose!" Duan Zhixuan, Liang Shitai, and Bai Suhua turned over and dismounted, kneeling on the ground to greet them.

Cheng Zhijie also got off the horse, helped them up and said, "Everyone has worked hard, please get up quickly!" ”

Duan Zhixuan cried bitterly: "The last general has the trust of the demon king, and the loss of troops will also lose Caozhou." Please punish the demon king Chitose! ”

Cheng Zhijie hurriedly pulled him up and said, "Zhixuan doesn't have to care. Li Mixiao thief also! In its heyday, the world can not compete with it. Who dares to say that he can beat Li Mi now?

I was not also put on a role by Li Jiancheng, allowing him to slip from under his nose to Caozhou, causing Caozhou to fall. Speaking of which, I also have to bear the main responsibility for the loss of Caozhou. ”

The generals didn't even dare to say it, and then let Cheng Zhijie into Dingtao City. Lao Cheng ordered the army to rest in the barracks, and he and the generals went to Dingtao County.

After everyone sat down, Cheng Zhijie said: "The current situation is that the enemy's left army has been completely wiped out by us. However, Li Mi and Li Tang have unified the steps, and we will have to face the coalition forces of the two sides later.

These two troops are also among the best among the princes in the world, and the battle behind us will be even harder; So we need a strong commander, what do you think? ”

Everyone nodded unconsciously when they heard this, and Duan Zhixuan blushed and lowered his head.

"Good! Several people agreed, and I would recommend one. I propose that Duan Zhixuan be the chief manager, what do you think? ”

Everyone was stunned and didn't speak, Duan Zhixuan had already stood up and said, "No, no; It's only shallow in the next place. He had just been defeated twice at the hands of Li Mi; Suffer heavy casualties in battle; I really can't take on this responsibility.

And the demon king Chitose has arrived, where is it still our turn to occupy the magpie's nest. Let's ask the Demon King Chitose to lead us to defeat Li Mi! ”

The generals nodded unconsciously when they heard this.

Cheng Zhijie smiled: "You guys! I was bluffed by my name. Actually, I'm just a big straw bale! Just the ability of the three-plate axe!

Let me charge into battle and say, "One of you counts as one; No one is my opponent. But I really have to strategize, and I'm far from you when the opportunity arises.

Zhixuan is talented, and the more he fights, the more courageous he becomes; Then Li Mi underestimated you again; This is the perfect time for you to get your revenge. Please don't shirk, take up the position of the chief manager, and compete with Li Mi well, don't you want to win it back? ”

Duan Zhixuan gritted his teeth fiercely and said: "Thank you for the trust of the chief manager, Duan Xiong has nothing to say and nothing to repay, so he will give up this rotten life to compete with Li Mi!" ”

Cheng Zhijie clapped his hands and said, "Yes!" That's what you want! What's so great about Li Mi? We really don't believe in this evil, we just want to fight him well!

In this way, tomorrow I will set up a stage on the school field, and we will also come to the stage to worship the commander; Please Zhixuan take over as the head of this march! Whoever dares to disobey orders in the whole army can be killed directly from me! ”

Duan Zhixuan burst into tears with excitement, and fell to his knees crying: "The Demon King Chitose is very kind, Duan Xiong is grateful, and he will repay this kindness." ”

The next day, Cheng Zhijie ordered someone to set up a high platform in the school field, and he bathed and changed clothes at home. It was noon, and all the three armies gathered at the school ground.

Cheng Zhijie personally led the horse for Duan Zhixuan and took him step by step to the front of the general's platform. Cheng Zhijie wanted to personally help him dismount, but Duan Zhixuan said that he would not say anything. Liang Shitai stepped forward and said, "Big brother, let me do it for you!" ”

As he spoke, he grabbed the reins of the horse and helped Duan Zhixuan to dismount; Then Cheng Zhijie opened the way in front; Lead Duan Zhixuan to the high platform.

Go to the first layer and give Duan Zhixuan a five-colored stick, you can enforce military law, and if you break the law, you will be served; Go to the second floor and give him the sword of Shang Fang, and those who do not respect the order can cut it first and then play; When he reached the third high platform, he was given the Great Seal of Governor, so that he could take charge of the three armies.

Duan Zhixuan accepted the seal of the chief manager, knelt down and thanked him, and then took office as the chief of the march. All the military academies were shocked when they saw it, and the little contempt for Duan Zhixuan in their hearts was gone.
