At this time, Li Xian didn't know that the enemy army had surrounded them, although there were some sentry posts in the army according to the rules, but these sentry posts were not as vigilant as they should be, in fact, this can't be blamed on the sentries, mainly Li Xian and Cheng Yanjin relaxed their vigilance and were careless, of course, it also has something to do with the enemy general begging Zhongxiang being cunning.

However, today it is really a loss to these posts, because the moment when the enemy quietly launched an attack, it was these posts that were the first to discover, although they were shot to death by the enemy as soon as they came up, but the screams made at the moment of death pierced the night sky, or gave Li Xian's army a certain amount of time to prepare.

In fact, at this time, Li Xian had not fallen asleep, but he had taken off his armor and was deducing the military hair with Cheng Yanjin in the big tent, when he suddenly heard a scream outside, Li Xian and Cheng Yanjin suddenly felt a sudden jump in their hearts, jumped up in unison, and shouted that it was not good, and then they each wore armor, and at the same time urgently ordered the whole army to assemble.

In fact, the soldiers under Li Xian's command did not wait for the order to be issued, they quickly put on their armor, took out their weapons, and began to assemble, after all, these soldiers were the elite of the Tang Army, and the number of this army was limited, Li Xian did not order the weapons and armor to be concentrated in the arsenal for the convenience of the march, but ordered the soldiers to carry their weapons and armor with them, which allowed the soldiers to calmly arm themselves and then assemble together to resist.

Despite this, most of the soldiers did not have time to mount their horses, which caused them to soon fall into the encirclement of the enemy army.

"After this king led the crowd to break through, the other soldiers broke through with General Cheng!" Li Xian saw that the situation was urgent, and only he and more than 20 soldiers around him got on the war horse, so he issued such an order.

But Cheng Yanjin and all the soldiers refused to carry out the order, and these soldiers all knelt on the ground and said loudly: "If the king doesn't leave, the villain doesn't dare to go, there can be no villain in the army, not the king." ”

"It's all at this time, what's the mother-in-law?" Seeing this, Li Xian couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Lin Cheng and said: "Lin Cheng, go first, take the soldiers of the palace, you can go as much as you can, remember, these are my elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, if you can take one more, you can take one more." ”

But seeing Lin Cheng said unhappily: "What does the king mean by this? Isn't I, Lin Cheng, a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Today's end of the general has already put life and death aside, in order to show sincerity, the end of the general decided to lead the team to break off, but also asked the king to lead the brothers to break through, if the king has the heart, in the future for the brothers to avenge the brothers. ”

Later, Zhang Deyu stepped forward, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The life of the last general was picked up by the king, so what does it matter if you return this life to the king today?" It is better to stay with the last general, and the king will go first. ”

Seeing that the enemy army was getting closer and closer, and everyone was fighting for it non-stop, Cheng Yanjin suddenly said: "Don't fight for the ranks, what time is it?" The king doesn't have to shirk, we and the whole army are all killed in battle, and we can't let the king be harmed, and on the other hand, if the king has a mistake, we will be alive, and we will be executed by the court, therefore, we must find a way to make the king take the lead in breaking through, and the people behind the palace not only need bravery, but also need wisdom, looking at the generals, only Lao Cheng can complete this task Not to mention that Lao Cheng is already eighty years old, and it is a waste of rice and grain to survive for another year or two, it is better to do it vigorously, come to him a horse leather shroud, Lin Dianjun, Zhang Langjiang, one of the two needs to stay and help me, I don't know which one is willing? ”

Zhang Deyu and Lin Cheng saw Cheng Biting Jin say this, they took a step forward and said in unison: "The last general is willing to stay." ”

Cheng Yanjin nodded, and said: "The two don't have to be like this, the one who stays is strong, and the other one has a greater responsibility, and needs to escort the king to successfully break through, with the current situation, it is easy to die, but I don't know how difficult it is to survive?" ”

"This ......" Zhang Deyu hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then gritted his teeth and said: "The last general's martial arts are not as good as Lin Dianjun's, and his familiarity with the soldiers is not as good as Lin Dianjun's. ”

But I heard Lin Cheng say angrily: "General Zhang doesn't have to fight anymore about this matter, Your Excellency doesn't know, in fact, he has always had a second heart for the king, and he is the eyes and ears of others, but people are not ruthless, the king has been so kind to the king over the years, and it is difficult to repay it in case of death, but the person above does not dare to provoke at all, therefore, it is a fluke to get rid of it in the future, and he can only continue to do things for that person in the future, and he cannot be truly loyal to the king, and General Zhang is loyal and brave, if he escapes, he will definitely become a good help of the king, just because of this." , in the next wish to repay the king with a death, General Zhang must survive, be a good fortune to be the king, in order to live up to the king's intention to save him. ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Cheng didn't say anything, waved his hand and commanded the twenty soldiers on horseback to follow him to meet the enemy. Seeing this, Cheng Yanjin also nodded with satisfaction, and then followed with a horse.

Seeing Lin Cheng like this, he couldn't help but burst into tears, clenched his fists and said: "Lin Dianjun, Xiao Wang has been wrong to blame you for so many years, it turns out that you are so affectionate and righteous, please rest assured, Xiao Wang will definitely survive well, and will never live up to your deep friendship, your affection Xiao Wang will never dare or forget in the future." ”

As for Cheng Yanjin, he actually expected that the other party would definitely do this, and he also knew that this was actually the best choice for Cheng Yanjin, who was bent on washing away his shame, of course, this could not hide the grief in Li Xian's heart, because of one of his mistakes, he let so many loyal and brave people go to death, which is definitely an unforgivable mistake for himself, and it is also a mistake that must not be made again in the future!

"Soldiers, listen to the king's orders and break through with me." Li Xian with tears in his eyes, solemnly gave an order, and the soldiers under his command also stood silently, and then decisively and quickly found the horses, got on the horses, lined up, and then left, they are all well-trained elite soldiers, but also flesh and blood men, knowing that at this time, must not lose the precious time that the robes exchanged for blood and life, they can only live well, in order to be worthy of the brothers who stayed.

At this time, Cheng Yanjin and Lin Cheng led more than 20 horsemen under their command and rushed over against the main force of the enemy army.

"Kill!" Cheng Yanjin and Lin Cheng were side by side, and the two horsemen formed two sharp knives in a conical formation, directly killing the enemy cavalry in the front row.

The second general was already a strong martial artist, and now this desperate effort was like a god descending from heaven, instantly assassinating several enemy soldiers who tried to stop him on the spot.

And with the breakthrough of the two generals, the more than 20 soldiers also launched a crazy fight with the enemy cavalry around them, and when they got close, they stabbed with their guns, and when the guns were broken, they slashed with horizontal knives, and when the horizontal knives were also curled or broken, they pounced on the enemy soldiers, threw the opponent under the horses, and then together with the enemy troops, they were trampled into pulp by the war horses of both sides......

Although these twenty soldiers were heroic, there were so many enemy troops that they could be fearless one-on-two, or even one-on-three, but they faced hundreds of times the enemy, and after a short time of fighting, they were caught in the torrent of enemy troops, and in less than a quarter of an hour, all twenty soldiers were killed.

So at this time, the Tang army that can still fight on this battlefield is only Lin Cheng and Cheng Biting Jin, these two people don't know how many enemy soldiers they have killed, the horses and armor are all stained with blood, there are enemies, there are also their own, regardless of these, they don't care, but fight to their heart's content, gritting their teeth and persevering, for fear that once they die, the enemy will step on their bones to find Li Xian and them.

At this time, the enemy's main general beggar Zhongxiang was also shocked when he saw this, he didn't expect that there would be such a loyal and brave general in the Tang army, and he couldn't help but rise up with the intention of loving talent, and ordered someone to surround these two generals in the middle, and then rode to a short distance in front of the second general, and shouted: "Wu Na Tang general, the two of you have fallen into the siege of our army, even if you are strong enough to defeat 10,000 people, how can you escape?" It is better to listen to my advice, lay down the arms and surrender, I remember the two loyal and brave, and I will definitely reuse you. ”

"This person can actually speak my Tang official dialect?" Cheng Yanjin and Lin Cheng were overjoyed when they heard this, because they could use this to delay for a little time, although they knew that they would never delay too much time, but delaying for a moment was a moment, and they couldn't care about it at this time.

At this time, I saw Cheng Yanjin slowly speak: "Who is Your Excellency?" I can't surrender to the unknown. ”

But I heard the man laugh and said: "I am not a nameless person, I am the beggar Zhongxiang at the end of the chieftain of the Yan Ya Su, my army has more than 300,000 people, and there are 50,000 or 60,000 elite soldiers under my command, so the people are also called powerful in the entire Jin Ya tribes, not to mention that our troops are still allies with the Khitan, Xi, Heishui, and Baishan tribes, and our alliance has more than 200,000 troops and more than 800,000 troops. ”

"It turns out that Your Excellency is the chief of the Su Mo Ya, I don't know if you have ever met my General Li Jinxing of the Tang Dynasty?" Cheng Yanjin nodded when he heard this, and immediately asked.

But seeing a trace of anger flashing on the beggar Zhongxiang's face, he shouted in a deep voice: "Like such a traitor, don't mention it, this person shamelessly steals his life, and even disregards the interests of the ethnic group, leads the crowd to defect to the Tang people, wags his tail and begs for mercy, he is really a dog." ”

"Oh? In this way, if the beggar Zhongxiang attaches himself to Goguryeo, isn't he also a person who wags his tail and begs for mercy? Cheng Yanjin sneered and said sarcastically.

But seeing the beggar Zhongxiang, he was immediately furious, and pointed at Cheng Yanjin with a horsewhip and said: "I know that in Er's heart, my people are barbarians, but the barbarians can disturb the day and night of the Ertang people. ”

Seeing this, Cheng Yanjin hurriedly stopped: "The beggar is like an adult and slow, although the last general is committed to the Tang Dynasty, but he doesn't want to pay for it, if the adult is really willing to reuse us, what if we are lowered?" ”
