(Second update.) ）

The military discussion did not last long, and the decision was made, and Wang Yanzhang immediately mobilized 7,000 soldiers and horses, preparing to go out of the city for ten miles to meet the hundred battle army.

After the generals dispersed, only Dai Siyuan was left, and he said to Wang Yanzhang: "Old general, go out of the city to meet the Tang army, it is enough for the last general to lead the army, why should you go there in person?" You just have to sit in the city and deal with all parties. ”

Wang Yanzhang waved his hand, and only said after a while: "You tell the truth, leading the army against the Hundred Battles Army, what are the chances of us winning?" ”

"This ......" Dai Siyuan didn't know what Wang Yanzhang meant by this, "The Tang army has traveled a long way here, and the soldiers are tired. ”

Wang Yanzhang smiled bitterly, the majestic spirit on his body was long gone, "How about the soldiers under the old man's command, how can the old man not know it?" All new soldiers' ears. How can you say that you can defeat the elite of a hundred battles in a hundred battles? ”

"Then why did the old general go to war in person? Isn't it putting yourself in danger? The body of the daughter does not sit down, and this battle is still going to be carried out by the last general! Dai Siyuan persuaded.

Wang Yanzhang shook his head and sighed: "When the national disaster is at hand, how can there be any daughters?" It is fortunate not to be a slave to the country. Because the soldiers are all new soldiers, I need to be the commander in person, otherwise who can draw the sword and move forward? I, Wang Yanzhang, have never been a shrunken turtle behind the army, and this time it should be the same! ”

Dai Siyuan's throat was bitter, and he clenched his fists and said: "The old general is loyal to the country, the sun and the moon can be learned, and he will definitely leave a name in history!" But now that the country is in a critical situation, the society is covered with dust, and there is still a need for the old general to help the world, and the old general must not lose! ”

Wang Yanzhang stood up, paced to the door, looked out of the city with his hands, and sighed: "Shi Ye, Yun Ye." The traitorous minister is in charge, the lord is close to the villain, the virtuous minister, the world is like this, the old man has no skills to return to heaven! ”

"Old General......

Wang Yanzhang turned around and said decisively: "This oath to live and die with the Chinese capital, victory is victory, if the sky is not favored, it is doomed to such a defeat, the old man is not reluctant and steals his life, he should serve the country with his body!" ”

……

After the Hundred Battles Army controlled the Wen River, leaving a group of soldiers to meet the army, Li Congjing led the main elite straight to Liangzhongdu, when there were still more than 20 miles away from Zhongdu, he received a scout report, Wang Yanzhang had led thousands of troops and horses out of the city, and set up a position ten miles outside the city, ready to meet the army.

Li Congjing then ordered the gentlemen to guard both wings of the army, and the foot soldiers were in the center, and the speed did not decrease, and they met the Liang army.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, the ground is wide and the road is flat, and Li Congjing quickly saw the large array of the Liang army in the field.

A few days ago, Li Congjing fought Wang Yanzhang for the first time, which was on the east bank of the Yellow River in Bozhou. Today, it was easy to attack and defend, and Li Congjing became the attacker, leading several times the enemy's forces to meet Wang Yanzhang.

When he saw the large array of the Liang army, Li Congjing did not hesitate at all, and just like Wang Yanzhang that day, he ordered the Hundred Battles Army to attack directly. This time, Li Congjing's mind was much simpler, that is, to destroy Wang Yanzhang's military formation in the most direct and effective way. Because he knew that the soldiers under Wang Yanzhang's command were all new pawns, and their combat power was not as elite as the Liang army on the river, so the hundred battle army was fighting the tiger and the rabbit, and there was no need to worry about it.

The war was about to break out, the two sides collided face to face, Meng Ping's Chinese army was still used as the core, and Li Congjing's military order to Meng Ping was very simple: to break the enemy formation as quickly as possible. After the battle began, Meng Ping immediately went into battle in person, leading a group of guards to rush forward. On his left and right flanks, Li Shaocheng and Meng San's subordinates were all screaming, their momentum was like a rainbow, and they rushed forward with their knives and lances.

Li Congjing did not sit in the rear, but joined the battle like the soldiers of the whole army. He led the gentleman to fight with the cavalry of the Liang army, and the two sides rode their horses and galloped wildly on the vast flat land, and the arrows came and went, and they shared life and death while galloping.

Not long after the two armies took over, the Hundred Battles Army showed its superiority, gained the upper hand on the battlefield in all directions, broke into the Liang Army's formation, and converged into the situation of the entire battlefield.

In less than half an hour, the Liang army showed signs of being unable to support it, and the retreat of the large group seemed to be about to collapse for thousands of miles. Li Congjing was ordering the army to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and at this time, the Liang army suddenly rebounded in the middle of the battle, not only fighting with Meng Ping, but also having the intention of repelling Meng Ping's troops. Li Congjing hurriedly led the army to rush over, and saw that the Liang army was the first general, wearing the bright light armor, he was already killed with blood, and the two iron guns in his hands were brave, and a general next to him was holding a long lance, and the gun was fatal when dancing, so that the hundred battle troops were killed and wounded for a while.

Li Congjing, who made the long lance, recognize that it was Dai Siyuan, needless to say, the one who used the double iron gun must be Wang Yanzhang. immediately rushed over, met the other party from the side, and shouted: "Wang Tiegun, Li Congjing will go back and forth to you!" ”

That person was Wang Yanzhang, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Li Congjing killing, without saying a word, he rushed over with two iron guns, and immediately fought with Li Congjing, not forgetting to shout: "Li Congjing, the old man has been waiting for you for a long time!" ”

The two of them are going back and forth at the moment, grabbing the flying lance dance, and fighting inextricably. After handing it over, Li Congjing was surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that Wang Yanzhang had reached this age, and the double guns were so fast and so powerful, every time he made a move, Li Congjing didn't dare not pay full attention. Since he joined the army, there have been a lot of killers, many of whom are famous, and they are much younger than Wang Yanzhang, but there is no one who puts so much pressure on Li Congjing. He secretly thought in his heart that Wang Yanzhang was not in vain.

The two were fighting here, and they couldn't help each other for a while, but they were just fighting lively, and the speed of the shot was terrifying. But Wang Yanzhang was entangled by Li Congjing, and the soldiers he led were not so able to withstand the fight, and they were swept away by Meng Ping, who had made a second effort, and they were all defeated.

Dai Siyuan saw that the general trend of the military formation had gone and could not be saved, and then saw that Wang Yanzhang and Li Congjing were fighting hard, and immediately ran over, straightened up and stabbed at Li Congjing, "Li Congjing, do you still recognize Dai Siyuan?!" ”

"Haha! It turned out to be General Dai, long time no see, how are you doing? Li Congjing was fighting, and he didn't forget to taunt Dai Siyuan, which made him angry, and he tried his best to kill Li Congjing here to avenge the day's revenge.

Wang Tiegun and Dai Siyuan joined forces, Li Congjing couldn't support it immediately, and he was in a predicament in a moment, but the gentlemen behind him were all decorations, and hurriedly pounced, Lin Ying picked Dai Siyuan's long lance away, and fought with him with Lin Xiong. Lin Xiong didn't talk much, but he couldn't stop laughing, Lin Ying was more arrogant, and shouted: "Dai Siyuan, you are a defeated general, and you are also worthy of fighting with the military commander, and you want to fight Lin Ying to accompany you!" ”

Dai Siyuan didn't see the guards behind Li Congjing, but he didn't expect Lin Ying Lin Xiong to be so powerful, and he couldn't get out of his face when he saw that the plan to attack and kill Li Congjing was in vain, Dai Siyuan was extremely annoyed, but now it was obviously not the time for a battle of will, and shouted at Wang Yanzhang: "Old general, the army can't hold on, withdraw!" ”

Wang Yanzhang also took the battlefield situation in his eyes for a long time, and the reason why he fought with Li Congjing was also to hope that the general would save the defeat, seeing that Li Congjing was extraordinary, his hopes were disappointed, and he wanted to beat his chest and pause, but he had to make a false shot, pull out his horse and flee, and his personal guards immediately helped him entangle Li Congjing.

Li Congjing saw that Wang Yanzhang and Dai Siyuan were leaving, so he naturally would not let them go back, and immediately pursued them with a large army. It's just that among the ten thousand troops, it is more difficult to chase and kill the enemy generals, and Wang Yanzhang Dai Siyuan is not Zhang Lang, and his skills are excellent, so he will not give Li Congjing a chance.

But if you can run, you can't run the soldiers, and the hundred battle troops bite the tail of the Liang army, and they kill fiercely, scattering the Liang army and fleeing, with all the dead and wounded.

Before the sun set, Li Congjing led the army to the outside of the central capital. At this time, Wang Yanzhang and Dai Siyuan, who fled back to the city, had already closed the city gate, climbed to the top of the city, and prepared to defend it.

Li Congjing ordered the Hundred Battles Army to besiege the city, and did not rush to attack, he was the vanguard of the army, and he did not carry much baggage, and the siege was weak, so he had to wait for the army to come.

A few days later, Li Cunqiao personally led tens of thousands of troops here.

Before that, at noon one day, Li Congjing set up two desks outside the three arrows outside the city, put two jars of good wine, shouted to the city, and invited Wang Yanzhang to go out of the city for a meeting. Wang Yanzhang has the style of a general, so he naturally will not be afraid of any tricks Li Congjing will play, but also for the sake of morale, he generously went out of the city to attend the banquet.

On this day, the sky could not see the sun, and the clouds covered the sun, which was rarely cooler.

Li Congjing and Wang Yanzhang, old and young, sat and talked to each other on the battlefield, or faced tens of thousands of troops, or faced a majestic city, and raised their glasses and drank freely.

Li Congjing said: "Jing has heard of the general's prestige and admired it for a long time. Since joining the army, Jing has been fighting for several years, going in and out of the north and south, and regretting that he has not been able to play against the general. The day before yesterday, in the battle on the river, I had to fight with the general on the bank of the Yellow River, leading the army, and facing off on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, today the general fought here, and the general's majestic posture made Jing fascinated. And Xu Jing, as a junior, respects the general for a bowl! ”

When others heard Li Congjing's words, they thought he was ridiculing, but Wang Yanzhang did not do so, drank a glass of wine, and sighed: "The water of the Yellow River is going eastward, rushing endlessly, there are often back waves pushing the front waves, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, eternal existence, generation after generation of outstanding talents, famous all over the world." Although General Li was young, he already had a heroic posture and was terrifying in his later life. ”

Li Congjing put down his wine glass and said bluntly: "Dare to ask the old general, what do you think is the situation of the Tang army attacking Liang now?" ”

Wang Yanzhang said indifferently: "Between the two." ”

Li Congjing smiled slightly and said: "The old general has fought all his life, rarely defeated, and his fame is admired by people all over the world." However, at this time, I didn't know that the Tang Dynasty had become a general trend, and the Liang Dynasty was like a building about to fall? If you can conform to the general trend of the world, you can not only live for a hundred years, but also have a safe life. ”

Wang Yanzhang smiled, his voice grew louder, and finally raised his head and laughed.

"Why is the old general laughing, could it be that what Jing said is wrong?" Li Congjing asked, and said: "Only those who follow the trend can win the world." ”

After laughing, Wang Yanzhang looked at Li Congjing, at this moment his old state was gone, his eyes were sharp, as if he had a vigorous spirit, and said proudly: "Throughout the ages, those who follow the trend have won the world, and then the world has been broken by those who have gone against the trend, and the cycle has been repeated, and the cycle has gone on and on. Before success or failure arrives, how can we know immediately? You and I are both people in the game, in a world of great contention, in the torrent of princes competing for hegemony, often think that we see the general trend clearly, but you and I really see the general trend clearly? ”

Wang Yanzhang asked Li Congjing, "Old man, let me ask you, why did you Li Congjing join the army, why did you gallop on the battlefield, and why did you compete for the world?" ”

Li Congjing was stunned, feeling Wang Yanzhang's feelings, groaning slightly, and said: "Life has been amorous and heroic since ancient times. As the general said, success or failure is not yet known. In this world of great contention, Jing is full of enthusiasm and just wants to fight! ”

Wang Yanzhang nodded and said: "Yes, the troubled times are also the times of great contention, the times create heroes, and heroes create the times." However, on the road to the world, there is no opponent, isn't it lonely? Isn't it boring without mystery? Today, you Li Congjing is here, and I, Wang Yanzhang, should refuse each other, success or failure in life and death, but ask for pinning on the battlefield, gains and losses are not good luck, and high and low are not life, what are you afraid of? ”

With that, the two stood up and hugged their fists to say goodbye. Li Congjing said: "Born in the world, I am very fortunate to be able to conspire with the general in the world!" ”

"Needless to say, young man, see the truth on the battlefield."

"Old general...... Kill and die! ”
