Li Ruhai is faced with an extremely difficult choice.

What should he do next?

Retreat back to the division, divide the troops, or continue to go north?

Three options in total!

It is completely impossible to withdraw from the army and return to the division?

Once she withdraws from the army, Li Wenyu will not be able to die, and Princess Ning Xue will never want to marry into the Li family, and even the three million taels of silver she lost will not want to get it back.

Once the army is withdrawn, the previous achievements will be lost.

In a desperate gamble, attack the North Wind Pass, and then lead an army of nearly 100,000 to continue to march north?

This is also impossible, Honghe Mansion City is his lifeblood, and once it is captured, it will be completely destroyed.

Although there are 9,000 defenders in Red River City, and the defender is his younger brother Li Ruhu, he is definitely a brave general

However, there were only 6,000 of the city's true elites. If he faced other armies, even if he came with 50,000, Li Ruhai was sure that Red River City would be able to hold out for more than half a month.

However, in the face of the barbarian soldiers of the Shalong tribe, and there were still twenty or thirty thousand, Li Ruhai really did not have so much confidence.

These brutes are all madmen, wild beasts, and they are not afraid to die when they fight.

Li Ruhai can imagine that once the city is attacked, the 20,000 or 30,000 Shalong barbarians will climb the city wall like ants, and they really can't even kill them.

When the narrow road meets, the brave wins, and this kind of killing field, the barbarians of the Shalong tribe are still very deterrent.

As for the tactics of running out of food, I'm very sorry that the Shalong barbarian army didn't bring military rations at all. Because they eat all kinds of meat and rob everything, unless they die within a radius of hundreds of miles, they will never run out of food.

Therefore, the only way is to send an elite army to the south immediately, take advantage of the fact that Red River City has not yet fallen, attack inside and outside, and use the most primitive combat methods to wipe out this barbarian army.

Therefore, the division of troops became the only option.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Li Ruhai once again entered the state of the ancient well without waves, allowing himself to calm down instantly.

Soon he made a decision, the most correct one.

"Li Rulong, you lead the 30,000 troops of the Li clan headquarters to the south, bring all the cavalry, rush to Red River City at the fastest speed, and attack the army in the city inside and outside, and completely wipe out the main force of the barbarian army of the Shalong tribe in the shortest possible time, and never suffer in the future. ”

For a long time, Li Ruhai avoided fighting the Shalong barbarians, but used various means to split and corrupt the high-level of the Shalong barbarians. Because the territory of the Shalong tribe is of no use to Li Ruhai, all of them are high mountains and dense forests, and they are bordered by many countries, and the situation is complex and changeable.

But now that the war is inevitable, he simply slaughtered the Shalong barbarian army to prevent future troubles.

Red River City is surrounded by flat land, some distance from the high mountains and dense forests, and as a battlefield here, it is more conducive to the battle of large armies, and the cavalry can also be used a little, but it is not good for the Shalong barbarians.

The reason why Li Rulong led the army to fight south is because the last thing that is needed to fight against the Shalong barbarian army is strategy, and it is to rush straight to kill, which is what fierce generals like Li Rulong and Li Ruhu are best at.

And leading the army north to invade the Daning Empire is a test of heat and political means, and it is absolutely inseparable from Li Ruhai.

After the second brother Li Rulong heard the order, he hesitated: "Lord?"

The entire Li Tusi has a total of 50,000 or 60,000 main forces, leaving 15,000, if he takes away another 30,000 main forces, then Li Ruhai will only have 10,000 Li main force elites in his hands, and the remaining 40,000 are all Tusi coalition forces, can it still be suppressed?

Li Ruhai said: "It's okay, except for a North Wind Pass, there is no hard bone on my side." The tens of thousands of troops in Yunnan and Guangxi have not been drawn up until now, and they have forced the emperor to kill Li Wenyu and expel Li Lianting, who are not so much enemies as allies. ”

"Yes, yes. "It's as powerful as a dragon.

"Go south as fast as possible, and after arriving at the city of Honghe Prefecture, take a short rest and start a battle immediately, and be sure to annihilate the Shalong barbarian army. "It's as powerful as the sea.

"Yes. ”

A moment later, Li Ruhai's army, which claimed to be 100,000 but was actually more than 80,000, began to divide its troops.

Li Rulong led 5,000 cavalry and 25,000 infantry, a total of 30,000, all of which were the most elite main force of the Li family, and quickly rushed south to Red River City.

Around Li Ruhai, there were 50,000 troops left.

10,000 are the elite of the Li clan and 40,000 Tusi coalition troops.

"Array, array!"

The army of 50,000 regrouped again.

Li Ruhai's eyes were like electricity, looking at the north wind and the city.

Even if the Shaloon barbarians send troops to attack my rear, so what?

If I had put it before, I would have had to retire obediently.

But now, the Holy Fire Witch has descended, and the Southwest Tusi has sent troops one after another to obey the order, and I have an army of 80,000 in my hands. Thirty thousand were transferred, and there were still 50,000 left, violating the border of the Daning Empire and deterring the emperor, more than enough!

No matter how powerful you are Chu Hongmian, no matter how brave your old and weak wolf soldiers are, for me, it is just a matter of a few more hours.

Do you want me to retire from the army? Do you want me to give up all my efforts? Do you want to save Li Wenyu?

Dream!

Li Ru took out the sword and roared loudly: "Kill everyone inside, and leave no chickens and dogs." ”

"The first person to climb the city pass will be rewarded with three thousand silver!"

"Cut off any head, and reward fifty taels of silver!"

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and this can no longer be said to be a heavy reward, it is simply rich to the point of exaggeration.

Suddenly, the 50,000 troops around Li Ruhai were stimulated, his eyes were red, and he could make a fortune as long as he killed someone.

"Siege!"

Fierce as a sea sword!

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

The rain of arrows is as follows.

Hundreds of catapults, throwing wildly.

The fierce battle begins!

(This kind of battle description will be skipped)

......

A hundred miles away, Li Wenyu's henchman Li Wei, led 2,000 Dongchang warriors, and was rushing to Beifeng Pass at the fastest speed to support General Chu Hongye.

As soon as he returned from the capital, he learned the news that Li Ruhai led his army north, and almost without any rest, he immediately gathered all the Dongchang warriors near Guilin, and traveled hundreds of miles to finally catch up with Li Ruhai's first battle.

Saving Beifeng Pass and saving General Chu Hongye is the Savior Li Wenyu.

Three hundred miles away!

One man and one horse, galloping towards the west.

Great Grandmaster Ning Zongwu!

He had been so badly injured that he had to go deep into the crypt to recuperate from his lung wounds.

However, he was really concerned about Du Bian's learning progress, so after recovering a little, he immediately went out of the customs.

After leaving the customs, it was found that Du Bian had left. But after hearing an even more shocking news, Li Ruhai, the Tusi of the Li clan, led an army of 100,000 to the north and was about to invade the border of the Daning Empire.

Suddenly, Grand Master Ning Zongwu was about to explode.

He kept saying that the Daning Dynasty was coming to an end, and he couldn't resist the upsurge of patriotic sentiments at all, and he didn't care about his martial arts at all, but only recovered most of it, took his sword, rode a horse, and came towards Beifeng Pass.

You are as powerful as a sea urchin and dare to rebel, don't blame me Ning Zongwu for killing you!

For the sake of Li Wenyu, for Your Majesty, and for the sake of the Daning Empire, I, Ning Zongwu, will take you as strong as a sea man among thousands of troops.

This sentimental great master was greatly disappointed in the Daning Empire, and it was he who was passive and avoided the world.

As soon as he heard the news, he drew his sword and rose up, and he sacrificed his life for the empire.

In this life, he doesn't want to be free, and he doesn't want to live a life like an idle cloud and a wild crane.

The Grand Master crouched on horseback and galloped, but his heart was already hundreds of miles away.

"Li Ruhai, waiting for me to take your head!"

......

On the other hand, not exactly the same point in time.

Eleven hours ago, Du Bian rode the Mustang King and galloped towards the Kennel Temple on the border between Dien Bien Phu and Luang Prabang.

On the side of the Daning Empire, he has done everything he can. The rest is basically up to the creation of heaven.

Next, he will devote himself to the graduation exam.

In the graduation exam, you must beat Tang Yan and win the first place.

Otherwise, it's all over!

His qualifications to fight in this world will be lost.

And if you want to win the first place, if you want to get full marks in these subjects in the graduation exam, you must improve your mental strength.

So this time the kennel master's spiritual inheritance, he is determined to win!

Run, run!

I only have four or five hours of rest a day, and I spend all my time running.

Along the way, I don't know how many army checks I encountered, including those of the Daning Empire and the armies of the Kingdom of Annan.

But Du Chang has three tokens, which are enough to keep him unblocked.

Daning Empire Dongchang Token, Zhennan Duke's Mansion Token, Ning Xue Princess Token.

After he showed the token, all the troops offered wine, food, and even precious beef.

Not only that, but they also proposed to provide war horses for Du Bian, and they could change them every two hundred miles.

In particular, the army of the Kingdom of Annam was even more enthusiastic.

In the previous war, King Annam was defeated and retreated, and the rebel king was pressing forward step by step, the king had lost half of the country, and the morale of the army under his command had withered to the extreme.

With the dispatch of troops from the Daning Empire, the Duke of Zhennan led an army of 100,000 to the south, and the morale of the army of King Annan was instantly boosted, and he was extremely grateful and enthusiastic to the envoys of the Daning Empire.

When they saw that Du Bian was so urgent, they thought that he had some important task, and even directly sent hundreds of troops to escort him.

It's just that Du Bian's Mustang King ran too fast, and after escorting dozens of miles, he really couldn't catch up, so he gave up.

After almost sleepless galloping, for two days, one night and thirty-six hours, Du Bian ran more than 2,000 miles and finally arrived at his destination.

The Bronco King had infinite physical strength, and he was almost exhausted, and he lost a lot of weight.

If it is replaced by a war horse on the earth, I am afraid that ten of them have already run to death.

......

The kennel master has no nationality, so it is not clear which country he is from.

But wherever he went, he was the king's guest.

A few years ago, he once went to the capital of the Daning Empire, and Emperor Tianyun personally received him, and interviewed for a few hours, and had a meal together.

Since then, there has been an extra piece of calligraphy in the emperor's study, which is the masterpiece of the kennel monks.

There is no way to know what kind of martial arts this master is!

But he is a true spiritual master, a Dharma master, almost a national treasure.

He is 89 years old this year, and it is time for him to pass away.

The Kennel Temple is in a small remote village, and the villagers don't even know that this old monk is a world-famous monk, thinking that he is just an ordinary old monk.

Because he has to come out every day to make a fate, he eats the most humble coarse tea and light rice.

And his kennel temple is completely a cave, which is completely natural and extremely simple.

But......

The mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is not deep, and there are dragons.

Du Bian walked along the mountain road and came to the front of this cave kennel temple, and there was not even a door.

"Come on, let's come in!"

A kind voice sounded in Du Bian's head.

This is a generation of master kennels.

The voice was full of pity and full of emptiness.

Du Chang took a deep breath to calm himself down physically and mentally, and then slowly walked into the mountain gate.

Enter the kennel temple!

Inside, it's so dark that you can't see your fingers!

"Disciple has come to receive the spiritual inheritance of the master!" Du Bian knelt and sat in the tunnel.

The voice fell, and the surroundings lit up.

Du Chang was shocked!

Because, he saw an extremely familiar figure!

She, how could she be here?

......
