Chapter 410: Retreat from the enemy
Yu Wenhua saw the fire in the grain camp, and immediately divided the troops into two routes, one way back to the grain camp, and the other route was personally led by him, and continued to chase Long Tao and others.
The "Wind Forest Volcano" also has a certain stimulating effect on the war horse, and Long Tao can also control it through his mind, so that the dead soldiers can use the technique of "people and horses are one", increasing the speed to the extreme, and it is easy to get rid of the pursuers.
However, Long Tao did not immediately throw off the pursuers, but took them around a circle of seven or eight miles before passing through a sparse forest and completely getting rid of Yu Wenhua.
The horse team turned to the southwest and joined Pei Renji and Shen Luoyan's brigade at a mountain pass.
The two rode up to meet them, and Pei Renji asked, "Is the king okay?" ”
Long Tao smiled: "It's okay, the two hundred brothers have also come back safely, what are the results of the battle over there?" ”
Shen Luoyan said happily: "We only dispatched a thousand people, and we burned the grain and grass of Yu Wenhua, even if he returned to the army to fight the fire, it would be too late at all, and it was thanks to you to lure the enemy with your body......"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from behind.
Long Tao looked back and saw that many of the two hundred dead soldiers suddenly fell from their horses and fell to the ground, and one after another the war horses also lay down, gasping for a heavy breath in their noses.
Even Pei Xingyan fell off the horse, knelt on one knee, two silver hammers on the ground, and gasped.
"What's wrong? Okay! ”
Pei Renji hurriedly dismounted and rushed forward, holding his son, his concern overflowing.
Long Tao had already unfolded his body, quickly turned around the crowd, and finally returned to Pei Xingyan's side, took his vein, took a look, and said to Pei Renji: "Renji don't worry, they just lost their strength, when we broke through just now, all the brothers were brave and forgetful, and their physical strength had already collapsed, so arrange for them to go back to the tent to rest first!" ”
In my heart, I thought that this might be the sequelae of "Fenglin Volcano" used in this world of "Datang".
With Pei Xingyan's martial arts foundation, even if he fought for most of the day, he would not perform so badly.
The only explanation is that the "Wind Forest Volcano" has stimulated their potential too much, leaving them in an unprecedented peak state, and when Long Tao withdrew the support of the "Wind Forest Volcano", the impact of falling from the peak was too great, making their bodies unbearable for a while.
After all, "Taige" is a transcendent plane different from "Datang", although the characters in it are also flesh and blood, but their bodies are supported by the three powers of essence, qi and god, which is completely different from the martial artists of "Datang" based on true qi.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this physical difference that "Fenglin Volcano" will have this kind of sequelae that does not exist at all in "Taige".
In the tent, Long Tao left Pei Xingyan's back with both hands, stood up from the couch, walked to Pei Renji, who had a concerned look, and said with a smile: "I have replenished Xingyan's true qi, and by the way, I have opened up a few meridians for him, Renji can rest assured." ”
Pei Xingyan's eyes flashed, and he said with a full spirit: "Xingyan is not only full of strength now, but also feels better than before!" ”
Long Tao nodded and said: "Xingyan's hammer method can be regarded as a family of its own, and I will pass on a set of internal strength and mental methods to you later, with your innate divine power, you will be able to dominate the world with that pair of silver hammers in the future." ”
Pei Xingyan was pleasantly surprised, turned over from the couch, knelt in front of Long Tao, and kowtowed: "Thank you, King!" ”
Pei Renji also knelt down and said excitedly: "The king is so loving, the last general is willing to go to the soup for the king, and he will never give up!" ”
Long Tao helped the two of them up and said with a smile: "Renji doesn't have to be polite!" Your father and son are rare fierce generals, this king wants to sweep the world, and he has to rely on you more, everyone is one and the same, what is this little thing? ”
When the two saw him treat each other like this, their hearts became more and more moved.
……
Yu culture and grain and grass were burned, the army was in a predicament, the next day launched the whole army, launched a fierce attack on Liangdu, only a battle to take Liangdu, in order to solve the problem of grain and grass, stabilize the army's heart, otherwise, he had to obediently go back to Wei County.
All this was expected by Long Tao, and he had already told Jiao Hongjin to defend it desperately.
Fortunately, most of Yu Wenhua's siege equipment was damaged the day before, and this time the infantry could only carry the long ladder to rush the city wall, mainly relying on the tactics of the sea of people, although Jiao Hongjin was quite stressed, but he could also keep the city gate for a while.
At the most enthusiastic moment of the offensive and defensive battle, Long Tao and Pei Renji and others led 8,000 men and horses to kill from behind.
Because the grain and grass were burned last night, Yu Wenhua also knew that Long Tao was hiding an ambush outside the city, but he never thought that there would be as many as 8,000 people!
This miscalculation caused the defensive position he had placed behind him to be quickly broken through.
Long Tao personally led a cavalry team of 1,000 people, killing from the back of the battle to the front of the battle, until he reached the city of Liangdu.
The cavalry team clashed back and forth several times under the city wall, and the siege team that killed the city was faintly scattered.
Yu Wenhua stabilized the infantry position under the city on the one hand, and returned to the army to deal with Pei Renji and Shen Luoyan's large army on the other.
Wang Kuijie led 2,000 cavalry from his headquarters to gallop out of the front and kill Long Tao's cavalry.
Long Tao waved his army to catch up, and the two teams of knights hedged head-on, and they met each other in short combat.
Pei Xingyan danced two pieces of silver light with a pair of hammers, taking the lead and being invincible.
Long Tao saw where Wang Kuijie was, got up from his horse, crossed the distance of ten zhang, and pounced down, shouting loudly: "Kuijie Xiaoer! Come on! ”
Wang Kuijie also used a knife, and when he saw that he was fierce, he hurriedly danced a piece of sword light to protect himself, wanting to defend himself first, and then wait for Long Tao to fall to the ground, and then try to fight back.
"Khooth!"
The two knives intersected, Wang Kuijie's big knife immediately broke, and the dragon slaying knife stabbed down obliquely, penetrating from his chest, and the talisman armor was like nothing in front of the sword that sharpened iron like clay.
Long Tao picked up the big knife, and Wang Kuijie's body flew into the air.
He took the opportunity to fall on his horse and shouted, "Wang Kuijie is dead!" If you want to live, surrender quickly! ”
The sound was like thunder in the sky, rolling over the audience and reverberating in everyone's ears.
Everyone couldn't help but look at him, and just happened to see Wang Kuijie's body falling, grabbed by him with one hand, and held it high in the air.
This scene deeply hit the morale of the enemy, especially when Wang Kuijie brought Wang Bo's old troops, and suddenly became a group of dragons without a leader, and immediately fell into a huge panic.
Many people shouted, turned around and fled, and some people were shocked by the mighty image of Long Tao, put down their weapons, and surrendered on the spot.
There was a mess under the city walls, and no one continued to attack the city, so they threw away their armor and threw away their armor, fled and surrendered.
The deserters also rushed up the formation of Yu Wenhua and behind, and the defeat was successful, and it was difficult to stop it, even if Yu Wenhua and didn't want to give up, the team could only flee in a hurry under the coercion of a large group of deserters.
Long Tao and Pei Renji led the team to chase for fifty miles, and returned with a big victory, he let Yu Wenhua go this time, mainly to let him hold on to Wei County for a while longer, and block Dou Jiande from going south.
In the battle of Liangdu, a total of more than 7,000 enemies were annihilated, more than 5,000 troops were collected, and the city was in a jubilant atmosphere of victory, and the residents lit fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate.
Long Tao also celebrated with the generals in the city lord's mansion.
When the banquet was in full swing, the spies of the Giant Kun Gang came to report that Li Zitong had withdrawn from Jiangdu and went east to the sea, and it was very likely that he would retreat to the East China Sea, and Xu Xingzhi had also begun to secretly march to Jiangdu according to the original plan.
Long Tao knew that the time had come, and immediately arranged for Pei Renji to guard Liangdu, while he took Shen Luoyan, Ren Meimei, Jiao Hongjin and others to Xiapi to prepare to capture the East China Sea.
