Chapter Fifty-Eight: Fighting Alone
The Shenxiao Three Rivers Coalition Army rested for a while on the Liran Slope, and then continued to march northward.
The Shentang Army, which lost the first opportunity, could only choose the location of the decisive battle at Burning Beanzaka in the south of Anxiang City.
If the Shendo army gave up the decisive battle and stuck to Anxiang Castle, it would mean that a county south of Anxiang Castle and north of Daomiya Castle would be recovered by the coalition forces without much effort, which also showed that the Shindo army was powerless to resist the coalition forces.
In this case, the castle fort behind Anxiang City that has surrendered to the Shentang will definitely be shaken, and if they return to Sanhe one after another, the rear of Anxiang City will be cut off and become an isolated city, and the Shentang army will face the danger of being completely annihilated.
Therefore, even if the strength is inferior to the coalition army, Su Mengzhen must fight a decisive battle head-on, and there is no other choice.
The speed of the soldiers' movements was extremely fast, and by noon, the coalition forces had arrived in front of Burning Beanzaka.
Long Aotian's marching method was extremely cautious and steady, the formation was firm, and the road was all flat terrain and an open area, so he was not afraid of being attacked by the Shentang army.
When the Shenxiao Three Rivers Alliance Army arrived at the battlefield with a strict formation, the Shentang Army had already set up a formation with its back to the valley, and was ready for it.
Judging from the slightly depressed looks of the Shentang soldiers and the two wings slightly in the front, it seems that they originally planned to take advantage of the unstable position of the coalition army to rush and kill for a while, but they had to give up because of the strict state and high morale of the coalition army when they arrived.
Long Aotian was wearing golden immortal armor, standing in front of the formation with a proud expression, looking at Su Mengzhen opposite.
He deliberately chose a protrusion of the land, looked down on Su Mengzhen, and especially emphasized his tall stature.
"Master Su, I have heard of the name for a long time, and I am fortunate to meet today, and I am really old and strong. Long Aotian's voice was like thunder.
Su Mengzhen is not yet fifty years old, and the word "old and strong" is not appropriate. But Long Aotian is referring to the older generation like Su Mengzhen, and it's time to withdraw from the stage of history.
Su Mengzhen laughed directly: "Long Zhanye really gave birth to a good son, not only good at using soldiers, but also eloquent. ”
He also quietly sarcastically mocked Long Aotian and would only play tricks.
Long Aotian was not annoyed, but just smiled slightly.
In his eyes, no one in the world is a hero under his command. Su Mengzhen's daughter Su Lanjin is peerless, if she destroys the Divine Hall, maybe Su Mengzhen will become one of her fathers-in-law.
So now Long Aotian didn't want to really anger Su Mengzhen.
Next to Su Mengzhen, Wu Feng sneered: "The one surnamed Long on the other side seems to be a defeated general under my men?"
Long Aotian was stunned for a moment.
A year ago, Long Aotian once went to the grassland for something, and Wu Feng was recruiting troops on the grassland as a ranger at that time. Long Aotian clashed with Wu Feng and suffered a small loss.
Many people in Shenxiao knew about this.
Although Long Aotian immediately seized the position of the Daoist of Shenxiao, but defeat is defeat, he once lost to Wu Feng, this is an iron fact, even if he was only the fifth son of the Long family at that time, and he was defeated because of the lack of foundation on the grassland, but in the eyes of others, there is only the result, and nothing else matters.
If you talk about these reasons, you will be used as an excuse.
But Long Aotian is now the Lord of the Divine Heavens, and Wu Feng is only the heir of the Divine Hall. The heirs of the Divine Hall had all defeated Long Aotian, and the more it seemed that Su Mengzhen was much taller than Long Aotian.
The corners of Long Aotian's eyes twitched slightly.
Su Mengzhen waved his hand and said: "Feng'er, if you want to catch up with Long Gongzi, just use a sword, it's useless." ”
Not only does it resolve the embarrassment for Long Aotian on the surface, but also contributes to his own prestige, Jiang is really still old and spicy.
Su Mengzhen said again: "Young Master Long, before the war, it seemed to be a routine to go head-to-head. ”
Long Aotian made up his mind, and immediately raised his eyebrows and replied: "However, only the party that wants to delay time will propose a heads-up. Could it be that the master of the Su hall has no chance of winning, and wants to play a strategy of delaying the army?"
Su Mengzhen laughed for a long time: "Field duel, what's the use of delaying the army? Besides, one game is enough." General Gu Taineng, the number one master of Shenxiao Dao, must be in your army?"
He naturally knowingly asked, how could Su Mengzhen not know such key information as whether Gu Taineng would participate in this battle.
"Red Ghost Jingyi" Jing Zhisheng is brave and superb, but among the four heavenly kings of Shenxiao, he only ranks third.
The first ranked Zen Master Xuezhai is a military teacher, not known for his cultivation, and the second ranked general Gu Taineng is the number one master of Shenxiao after Long Zhanye's death.
The Gu family has assisted the Long family for generations, and they are a powerful family in Jingzhou. Gu Taineng's father followed Long Zhanye's father to Jingnan, and later assisted Long Zhanye, defeating many coalition forces such as Jingyi Shentang and Sanhe Xuzhou in Jiangling, and made great achievements for Shenxiao Dao to bring Jingyigu and other Jingbei gate valve forces into his domination.
And Gu Taineng has been fighting with the dragon since he was a child, and has made countless meritorious contributions.
Gu Taineng's eldest son, Gu Xichao, is a loyal follower of Long Aotian. At the time of the civil strife in Shenxiao, the reason why Gu Taineng chose to support Long Aotian was because of the persuasion of his old friend Zen Master Xuezhai, and the second was also influenced by his son.
Originally, Gu Taineng planned to let the second son support the fourth son, Long Zaitian, and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, betting on both sides, but after all, he decided to support Long Aotian with the power of the clan. Therefore, after Long Aotian succeeded to the throne, the Gu family was more and more reused.
Long Aotian responded: "That's nature. ”
As he spoke, a middle-aged man dressed in Xuan armor had already strode to the front of the formation, and arched his hand: "Gu Taineng is so concerned about Hall Master Su. ”
He is of medium height, but his shoulders are extremely broad, his body is as strong as iron, his eyes are like knives, his actions are strong and powerful, and the outline of his facial features that are as hard as iron has an extraordinarily solemn and awe-inspiring temperament.
"Hahahaha...... Su Mengzhen laughed again: "The last time we met, it was twenty years ago. General Gu went to Su someone's camp alone and persuaded me to withdraw from the Sanhe Territory, and his courage was amazing. It's a pity that we didn't really fight each other at that time, but today we can finally get what we want!"
Twenty years ago, Su Mengzhen attacked Sanhe, but was forced back by Shenxiao Dao reinforcements. At that time, the person in charge of persuading Su Mengzhen to withdraw from the army was Gu Taineng.
Long Aotian immediately said: "Since you want to make an appointment to fight General Gu, I think Brother Ling is also here." ”
Gu Taineng is the number one master of Shenxiao, if you want to be right with Gu Taineng, then only Su Youguang, the number one master of Shentang.
Su Mengzhen nodded and high-fived suddenly.
I saw a tall, muscular man Huo Ran stepping out of the formation, with no crown on his head, and his long hair fluttering in the wind, but he was not chaotic, like a spear and halberd piercing the sky.
On this battlefield of thousands of troops, this person did not wear armor, but wore a beige power suit, and his chest was half open, showing a twelve-point decline.
"Ah Guang, it's up to you. Su Mengzhen looked at his cousin Su Youguang, or the world-famous Sea Tiger Martial God Bai Junlang, and said with an expectant look.
Bai Junlang showed a reassuring look, and then took a broad stride towards Gu Taineng. With every step he took, the earth seemed to tremble.
All eyes were fixed on the field, full of anticipation.
The strongest generals of Shentang and Shenxiao Dao are about to start a peak showdown.
The victory or defeat of this period will also have a great impact on the morale of both sides.
