The mountain road is still difficult to walk, and the bandit army that fled all the way with their heads in their hands suddenly became as tenacious and alert as a wolf dog, unable to drive away, unable to disperse, and unable to fight.

When the Longhe army advances, they flee, and when the Longhe army rests, they harass, and the Longhe army attacks left and right, and they take advantage of the terrain to block and fight. When the Longhe army retreated, they divided their troops to lure, slandered and abused, and used great tactics.

You must know that although frozen oil can't stop the edge of the blade, it won't really be cut off by the blade.

The only result of cutting oil with a sharp blade is that it is surrounded by melted boiling oil and cannot extricate itself.

However, the number of bandits was obviously several times or even more than ten times that of the Longhe army, but they only knew how to sneak attack and harass, and never engaged head-on. Even because Long Yuandong is good at laying traps, every time the bandit army attacks, the losses are greater than that of the Long He army, and they have suffered enough, but they are still happy.

Obviously, the bandit army is deliberately delaying time, trying to consume the strength of the Longhe army and dampen the will of the Longhe army, and at the same time firmly grasp the rhythm of the battle and make full preparations for the final annihilation battle.

After grinding like this for a day and a night, when the Long He army finally eliminated all difficulties and forcibly withdrew from Qingyang County, the number of people was counted, and more than 1,000 people were unknowingly folded.

And the house leak happened to rain overnight, and it was hard to get a foothold, and Long Yuandong received even worse news, the county seat they had beaten before, including Huzhou Prefecture Zhijin Fengcheng, had fallen back into the hands of the enemy.

The thousands of troops left behind to garrison various cities have all been lost!

What is annoying is that the friendly troops who originally said that they would follow up and serve as garrison tasks were grinding, slowly swallowing, dragging mud and water, neither transporting troops in place according to the scheduled time, but also indifferent when the bandit army counterattacked and captured the city, and let it go freely and did nothing, so that the Longhe army was cut off from the rear road and became a real lone army.

Long Yuandong was furious, led the army to attack the nearest county town, the enemy changed from usual, resolutely defended, did not hesitate to use crowd tactics, with more than 500 middle and high-level soul masters, specifically targeting Long Yuandong and He Dali.

The Longhe army rose to the challenge, and the whole army was dispatched, and after paying the price of more than 300 people, they climbed the city wall, slashed and killed, and killed nearly 1,000 enemies in an instant. However, the enemy was not afraid of death, and kept adding men to the walls, and immediately set up multiple fences with antlers and sandbags, and the iron arrows flew in the air like raindrops.

Long Yuandong and He Dali led the army to rush to the peak many times, killing the enemy's corpses and blood all over the city wall, but there was no sign of the enemy army loosening and retreating, but the more they fought, the more people felt that there were more people.

He vigorously slashed the enemy in front of him with a knife, and shouted: "Death to those who stand in my way!" The heavy shield pushed, knocked down a large number of enemy soldiers, raised his foot and kicked it, two people's brains were shattered, and one life whimpered. Almost every action was killed, but no matter how heroic He Dali was, the enemy was undaunted, and still fought hoarsely to organize a counterattack.

Long Yuandong was busy, and saw from a distance that the enemy had another fresh force to join, and brought in catapults and bed crossbow teams, knowing that the strong attack would be quite unfavorable, although his side had already climbed the city wall, but the enemy was obviously ready for a protracted street battle, and continued to charge, even if he won the battle, he would inevitably win extremely miserably.

Moreover, it makes no sense for him to take such an empty city, without any supplies, and without any ability to defend it.

He swept with his spear, smashed through the weapons cut by the enemy, and the tip of the spear was swallowed, picking drills like flying, stabbing several people to death, and when he had a little free, he decisively ordered the whole army to jump off the city wall, quickly retreat, and personally cut off the rear cover.

The Long He army had just withdrawn a few hundred meters outside the city, and the crossbow arrows in the sky with a sharp roar grazed their heels.

Everyone was shocked into a cold sweat, secretly said that they were lucky, and accelerated their retreat.

On the city wall, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar looked at the Longhe Army in the distance and sighed: "Under the fame, it is really true, the Longhe Army has only been established for half a year, and it has such strength!

A dignified official asked, "Isn't Brother Gongting unable to stop you?" You are already a ninety-fourth-level Soul Killer!"

The scholar known as "Brother Gongting" was one of the initiators of the rebellion of the Tuhao Empire, Han Gongting, the sect master of the Five Elements Sect and the master of the Houtu Altar.

The official who questioned him was the Lord of the Golden Altar of the Five Elements Zongrui.

He is not only the leader of the bandits, but also the official of the imperial court, the feudal official who controls the military, political and economic power in the whole territory of Huzhou, and the assassin of a state.

If it weren't for him secretly cheating and hindering up and down, how could the Zhidang army stationed in Huzhou, Tongzhou, and Jianzhou and the government troops from all walks of life dare to neglect military orders, delay military aircraft, and trap the Longhe army in danger?

It is precisely because he is the assassin of Huzhou that the entire Huzhou has become the source and base camp of the national rebellion.

Without his connivance and help, the development of the rebel army could not have been so rapid, the momentum could not have been so great, and Han Gongting's strategy of luring the enemy into the depths could not have been carried out so thoroughly.

Han Gongting replied: "The performance of Guanlong Yuandong and He Dali on the battlefield, I and them alone against each other, should be able to tie and have a slight upper hand; if one enemy is two, there will definitely be more defeats and fewer victories." These two must not be regarded by ordinary soul masters.

I heard that He Dali was born with divine power, and when he was at the beginning of the second order, he could easily lift a stone lock of 2,400 catties. And I didn't have this brute strength until the fourth order advanced. Now that He Dali is at the seventh order intermediate level, no one in the world can know exactly how far his strength has grown. Among the soul masters in the world, I am afraid that there are not a few who can surpass him in terms of strength. And Long Yuandong's strength is even better than He Dali, otherwise Long Hejun would not take him as the right and He Dali as the vice. ”

Mingjingtai held his slightly bulging belly with both hands, and said with a smile: "Brother Gongting is modest! I have heard a saying that the reason why Long Yuandong's status is above He Dali is because our He County Lord has a soft spot for him, not that Long Yuandong is really stronger than He Dali. Besides, Long and He are powerful, how can they compare to Brother Gongting's ability to plan and strategize?"

Han Gongting shook his head and said, "Brother Ming has won the award! In addition to Long and He, Dugu Wen, the third person in the Long He army, should not be underestimated. Although he is not conspicuous on weekdays, he is also a high-achieving student from the First Star Academy, scheming and resourceful, and he is by no means idle. ”

Spiegel smiled and said, "It's a pity that all heroes are short-lived. Although the Long He army is strong, Brother Gongting has carefully selected a burial place for them, and now they are waiting for them to enter by themselves. Maybe in a few days, there will be no more Longhe Army in the world!"

"In the past few days, although the Longhe Army has lost more than two-thirds of its troops, its elite is still there, and it still has strong combat power. It is not easy for us to achieve our strategic intention of luring them to Sleepy Dragon Bay and thus completing the final lore. ”

Han Gongting pondered: "The Longhe Army is just an appetizer, but we have used almost half of the strength of the total force, and we have only achieved a little bit of success. The situation of the war in the country is changing rapidly, and in order to prevent many dreams from being too many nights, we must find a way to add another fire and extinguish them as soon as possible. ”
