Chapter 377: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

The two armies fought each other until night; The Tang army still failed to break through Dongfang Yumei's defense. Li Jiancheng frowned tightly, and had no choice but to order the army to retreat; Prepare for tomorrow's battle.

Dongfang Yumei also breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't care about resting, and hurriedly ordered the troops to reorganize their defenses and treat the wounded; Then grab a break.

Hongyu, who was at the top of the mountain, led 500 elite soldiers of the women's army to watch for a day, and she was in a hurry; Send someone down in the evening and ask to join the battle tomorrow.

Dongfang Yumei shook her head lightly and said, "No! You go back and tell Ruby. Her mission is to defend Yangshan. Li Jiancheng is not a fool; He will definitely send people to attack the peaks on both sides. Tell her that even if we die, we don't need her support. ”

"Yes!" The soldiers of the Women's Army said yes and quickly went up the mountain.

The next day, Li Jiancheng again led the army to launch an attack on the Yangshan Pass; Today's offensive was also more intense. Soldiers on both sides suffered heavy casualties.

At night, Li Jiancheng not only did not retreat, but personally went into battle to kill. The Tang army was inspired and broke out with extraordinary combat effectiveness; He actually cut down a walled gate; The Don army rushed in; The two armies engaged in a white-knuckle battle.

"Retreat to the second wall. I'll break it off! Dongfang Yumei screamed, first the crossbowmen quickly retreated, and the shield soldiers blocked the enemy's impact like a wall.

"Crossbowmen fire support! Shield Retreat! Dongfang Yumei's two bright silver spears danced like flying, forcing several generals of the Tang Dynasty to be difficult to use.

"Whoosh" "Boom boom! "A dense rain of arrows and thunderbolts were thrown out as if they didn't want money; The enemy's offensive in formation immediately slowed down. Dongfang Yumei took the opportunity to lead people to retreat into the second wall, and once again set up a defensive position.

Li Jiancheng saw that he had fallen short, and stomped his feet in a hurry; Once again, he raised his sword and shouted, "Attack! Be sure to break through the enemy's defenses. The Tang army regrouped and rushed up again.

The battle lasted until the second half of the night; Under the onslaught of the Don Army's death; The second wall of the Great Demon Kingdom is also a little precarious. The main reason is that after fighting continuously for such a long time, the physical exertion is too great, and even Dongfang Yumei is a little unbearable; Not to mention those ordinary soldiers.

Li Jiancheng secretly retreated to Feng Li, who had been hiding, and said, "Have you ever noticed any changes in the peaks on both sides of the enemy?" ”

Feng Li shook his head and said, "Your Highness the Prince, we have been staring at the peaks on both sides, and the enemy has not moved. But there seemed to be two clouds of smoke just now, and I couldn't tell if someone was coming down. ”

"Attack! We can't wait! was blocked for an extra day; Yuanji will increase the danger by one point! ”

Feng Li agreed, and led a group of men and horses to quietly climb the slopes on both sides of Yangshan. Ruby saw the battle situation below on the top of the hill clearly; At the height of the war, she also ordered someone to carry a tree branch and sweep out a cloud of smoke and dust; Therefore, the suspicious array pretended to go down the mountain to participate in the battle.

Sure enough, the situation was urgent, and Li Jiancheng couldn't take a closer look at whether it was true or false; Ordered Feng Li to lead people to kill him.

Hongyu bit her lip tightly and stared carefully at Tang Jun who was slowly coming up, seeing them getting closer and closer, she slowly relaxed her vigilance; Only then did he suddenly shout: "Shoot!" ”

"Whoosh!" There was a sound of bows and crossbows breaking through the air, and Tang Jun knew that he had won the plan, and he was shot down at once, and then the rolling wood and stones rumbled down.

The people fighting below heard the movement, looked up sharply, and found that the Tang army was rolling down the hillside screaming like dumplings.

The morale of the people of the Great Demon Kingdom was high at first sight; shouted: "Kill! And he slashed at his opponent. The Tang army was taken aback, and all of a sudden their morale was taken away, and those who were killed retreated one after another.

Li Jiancheng closed his eyes and let out a long sigh; He waved his hand and said, "Withdraw the troops!" Fight again tomorrow! As soon as the gong sounded, the Tang army retreated like a tide. Dongfang Yumei and others shouted loudly.

Li Yuanji's mouth is full of blisters now; He didn't expect Cheng Zhijie to come up with such a yin solution; smoke and fire every day; His own army has suffered a great sin.

Originally, I had prepared five or six days of water, but it was all used up in less than two days; Now all of them have dry mouths and cracked lips.

He called Yuan Mujue over and said, "Yuan Mujue, if we stay any longer, there is only one way to die, and we must break through tonight!" ”

Yuan Mujue was stunned for a moment and said: "Your Highness, the enemy under the mountain is well guarded, and it is difficult for us to rush out." Let's stick here and wait for reinforcements from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”

Li Yuanji shook his head and said, "No, the eldest brother doesn't know our situation; It would take him two more days to come all the way from Pengcheng. And do you think that the Great Demon Congress is unprepared and allows him to pass smoothly? ”

Yuan Mujue was stunned for a moment and kept silent. Li Yuanji smiled bitterly: "Yes! You also think about the seriousness of the matter. So no matter what, we have to break through. And one day sooner is more hopeful, and one day later is more dangerous. So I decided I had to rush out today anyway. ”

Yuan Mujue nodded fiercely and said, "Okay!" Your Highness, rest assured, the last general will give up his life and will definitely protect you from the encirclement. ”

Li Yuanji nodded and said, "Now Cheng Zhijie must hate the two of us." The army will also keep an eye on us. So I decided to pick two warriors of similar stature to us among the dead soldiers; Let them put on our clothes, ride our horses, and break through from the south with our blades to make it look like they want to return to Liuxian.

Neither of us broke through from the north, and after breaking out of the encirclement, we went all the way to the west, bypassing Weishan Lake and going back to meet the eldest brother. ”

Yuan Mujue couldn't help twitching his mouth, his armor was okay, his blades and war horses were all given by the emperor, and he loved them like treasures on weekdays, so it was a pity to throw them away like this.

Li Yuanji couldn't see his thoughts, and scolded: "Fool, keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of no firewood!" As long as we escape, what else will we not get? When the time comes, I will give you better horses and blades. ”

Yuan Mujue said: "Yes!" The last will be dull! I am willing to break through with His Royal Highness King Qi. Li Yuanji was satisfied, and then called the guards over and ordered them to turn over.

Then the order was handed down, the Tang army was full of war meals, and the only clear water was also shared by one person, Li Yuanji stood in front and said loudly: "All the soldiers! We slaughtered more than 60,000 people in Liuxian County, and the Great Demon Kingdom will definitely not let us go, rather than being dying of thirst and starvation here. It's better to rush down and fight to the death with the enemy while you still have the strength.

There is enough clear water underneath and there is delicious food; As long as we rush out, nothing is a problem!

As the saying goes, one person is desperate and ten thousand people are invincible! Not to mention that there are thousands of us here! As long as everyone is united, they will definitely be able to break out of the encirclement; Everyone, rush with me! ”

The Tang army was in high spirits one by one, and they quietly descended the hillside with Li Yuanji, preparing to give the enemy a surprise attack.

As a result, just halfway up the mountain, someone suddenly felt that something had been touched, and then a long brass bell rang; The sentry of the Great Demon Kingdom under the mountain shouted: "Oh no! The Don Army stole the camp! ”

Then the flames soared into the sky, arrows rained down, and the Tang army in front was shot down. As soon as Li Yuanji saw that his whereabouts were exposed, he shouted: "There is still a glimmer of hope for entering, and retreating will only wait for death!" Someone rushed me! ”

The Tang army got the order, and rushed down with a loud shout. They had barely run a few paces before some of them felt a slump under their feet, and rolled down with a grunt; The formation of the Tang army was in chaos for a while.

It turned out that the Great Demon Kingdom had secretly dug a lot of small pits of different sizes, different depths, and dense like stars on the hillside. These small pits have no effect when traveling slowly; But once you go down the mountain and charge, you will suffer a lot.

The Tang army had already lost hundreds of people in front of the barracks of the Great Demon Kingdom before they rushed to the camp, and when they arrived at the camp, the army of the Great Demon Kingdom had already lined up in formation and came out to encircle and suppress.

Cheng Zhijie led the most elite thousands of veterans and rushed in the direction of Li Yuanji and Yuan Mujue. It was the real King of Qi's personal guards who protected them; are all selected from the elite; Each person is qualified for 100 people.

As soon as the two elites touched each other, they started a crazy fight, and for a while, no one could help anyone, and it was difficult to solve the problem.

Cheng Zhijie urged the Hulei Leopard, the big axe in his hand danced like an axe mountain, and no one in front of him was the enemy of his move, and the people who were killed were killed and injured countless times.

But these people didn't seem to know what was going on with fear at all, and pounced on Cheng Zhijie like crazy, blocking him from approaching Li Yuanji and Yuan Mujue.

Li Yuanji and Yuan Mujue took advantage of the situation to rush out and kill, but the soldiers of the Great Demon Kingdom also stared at them, making it difficult for them to move an inch.

"Hugh is leaving, Li Yuanji! Kill! Cheng Zhijie burst into a roar, like a muffled thunder in mid-air, which shook people's ears and buzzed. Tang Jun was so frightened that he almost threw away his blades.

With a wave of Lao Cheng's big axe, five or six human heads flew into the sky; He shouted, "Kill! The Thunder Leopard roared in cooperation and rushed out; Although it was not a tiger and a leopard this time, Lei Yin also frightened the besieging guards; let him fight his way out of the bloody road and rushed straight to Li Yuanji and Yuan Mujue's side.

The two fake dead men were also frightened, and only when he rushed to his side did he remember to take refuge; They did not dare to fight, and as soon as they urged the horses, they turned their heads and ran.

Lao Cheng snorted coldly, urged the horse to catch up, and smashed a few intercepting broadswords with a big axe, cutting down a few guards who were in the way; And he came behind them, and the axe slashed.

The dead man who dressed up Yuan Mujue was also a powerful person, although it was a little difficult to use a 300-pound Yanling Thirteen Songs Big Boring; But he still resisted this blow.

"Dang!" With a loud bang, the dead man could no longer hold the blade, and when it fell to the ground with a bang, Cheng Zhijie was suspicious in his heart, this Yuan Mujue is also a general, and he has the ability to be no less than Wu Tianxi, so he won't be so bad!
