Shi Ziling was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that when he jumped up the city tower, he saw Li Xiaoyao being beaten out of the city by Li Yuan, and hurriedly asked, "Is Li Xiaoyao dead?"

Wei Hu stepped forward and said: "Li Xiaoyao fell heavily to the staircase under the city tower after being hit by Li Yuan's Wuji True Yuan Knife, and by the time we killed the enemy soldiers and rushed to see it, it was already a long time ago."

Everyone was embarrassed, Li Xiaoyao, as one of the world-famous "Four Great Princes", has always been Li Yuan's right and left hand, and he is also the sworn enemy of the Xiahou family, I didn't expect that this time he died in the hands of Li Yuan in order to save Xiahou Yuan's father and son, which is really unexpected.

Shi Ziling was also a little gloomy, he used the dementor ** to control Li Xiaoyao's consciousness just out of the situation, but he didn't expect that Li Xiaoyao made many meritorious contributions after that, not only tricked Li Zhun into withdrawing the ambush of Longma Dao, so that the special attack division successfully rushed to the camp and successfully saved the Black Dragon City, but also rescued Xiahou Yuan's father and son when they were in danger, but they died in the hands of Li Yuan.

Yu Wei sighed: "Although Li Xiaoyao is not a good person, he has finally made a lot of contributions to our current good situation, and it is worth it to let Li Yuan go once for the sake of his face." But Li Yuan, a bastard, actually killed his own son with his own hands, it's really better than a pig and a dog! In this case, Li Yuan should still be killed! Alas, I can't figure out how this account is calculated......

Shi Ziling knew that Li Yuan's true identity was Changsheng No. 1 from the Star Continent, and it was extremely unlikely that he was Li Xiaoyao's biological father, but this secret was too involved, and Shi Ziling was inconvenient to say it, so he had to shake his head and sigh.

After sending someone to bury Li Xiaoyao's body, Shi Ziling told the story of launching a general attack on Li Yuan's army in the early morning after he had made an appointment with Nangong Xia and others for three days, and everyone was greatly excited when they heard it.

Xiahou Feiyang said: "Since this day and night, Li Yuan's army has been unable to attack repeatedly, and many men and horses have been lost. Now that we are almost equal in strength, we have the advantage of being in the front and rear, and we have the upper hand in morale, and we should have a better chance of winning in three days. ”

"By the way, Brother Shi, the defensive ability of your special attack division really deserves its reputation, especially that unique defensive formation, which can be large or small, and its power is huge, which is really eye-opening for us. With a regiment like Brother Shi's special attack division, Li Yuan will definitely not be able to escape defeat this time!"

Speaking of the Optimus Prime defensive formation of the Special Attack Division, everyone was full of praise.

Yin Qi also praised: "Previously, I joined forces with Wei Hu and Yu Wei to block Li Yuan's Infinite True Yuan Knife, but I only suffered a few meridian shocks and was not injured, which shows that the Optimus Prime Earth Defensive Strength that we composed is magical." Moreover, this formation can be large or small, and it is infinitely useful, no wonder the commander of the legion dared to go thousands of miles to fight against Li Yuan's huge army with only 50,000 elite soldiers. ”

Although Yu Wei disdains Li Yuan's personality, he still has lingering palpitations about Li Yuan's martial arts strength, and said: "Speaking of which, this Li Yuan's skill is really high, and a wave of his hand is a fatal move, and so many people on our side can't stop him with one and a half moves." Poor Li Xiaoyao gave up his life in such a daze, that is, Ziling can compete with him. It seems that if you want to achieve something in this troubled world, you can't do it without a few brushes!"

Shi Ziling said with a smile: "The strength of the three of you is too far from Li Yuan, it is already very good to be able to block a True Yuan Blade from him without being injured." I really didn't expect Li Yuan to realize that I was not in Black Dragon City so quickly, but fortunately I rushed back in time, and finally did not cause a catastrophe. ”

Everyone was indeed a little afraid in retrospect, if Shi Ziling came back later, not only the lives of Xiahou Yuan's father and son would not be guaranteed, but the entire Black Dragon City would also be very likely to have fallen, then all the efforts made before would be in vain.

Xiahou Yuan sighed: "Only now do I understand what fate is, everything seems to be destined. Although Li Yuan had the upper hand before, the thousand-mile sneak attack of the Ziling Songhu Army gave him a heavy blow, which reversed the entire general trend. ”

"It's the same today, if Li Yuan takes the Black Dragon City today, their disadvantage of being attacked by the enemy will be immediately resolved, and the subsequent victory or defeat will be difficult to predict, but Ziling's timely appearance completely destroyed Li Yuan's hope of turning the tables. In my opinion, Li Yuan met his nemesis this time, and he should have run out of energy. ”

After listening to Xiahou Yuan's sigh, everyone felt that victory was in sight, but also a little stunned, because everyone heard that Xiahou Yuan was motivated by feelings, and his own experience was not fate?

The Xiahou family has been planning to dominate the world for many years, and its financial and material resources are the best in the entire Bright Moon Continent, and it has always been the head of the five great families, and it originally had a great chance to win the world. However, the rise of Li Yuantongtianjiao broke the dream of the Xiahou family's dominance, and in the end, Xiahou Yuan's city was lost, his troops were exhausted, and his family was almost ruined, so it was no wonder that he sighed.

Shi Ziling didn't want to think about any fate, he said calmly: "Although the situation is favorable to us now, we still can't take it lightly. Li Yuan still has 80,000 troops and horses in his hands, even if he is attacked on his back, it will not be eliminated in a short time, and the next bitter battle is inevitable. Especially in the past three days, Li Yuan's army may still desperately attack the city in order to break through, let's think more about how to deal with it. ”

Xiahou Yuan also felt that he was a little too sentimental, and immediately sighed lightly and said: "It's still Ziling who is right, the so-called one who travels a hundred miles is half ninety, the more we have a chance to win, the more cautious we must be, we must not give Li Yuan a chance to turn the tables, otherwise it will be really endless troubles." Let's discuss the general attack plan a few more times after that, and see if there are any omissions......."

In the Chinese military tent of Li Yuan's army, Li Yuan sat silently in the middle and frowned, and the generals and cronies around him were all solemn. Today, seeing that Li Yuan was about to succeed after going out in person, who knew that Shi Ziling just rushed back in time and once again resolved the crisis in Black Dragon City. Then the peak duel between the two came to an end, and the morale of the entire Li Yuan army could be said to be getting lower and lower.

Now everyone understands that the follow-up reinforcements of Shiziling and Nangong Xia are coming, although Longma Dao has set up an ambush early, it is difficult to predict whether they can block this batch of reinforcements. And the Black Dragon City has Shi Ziling personally in charge, and the special attack division is extremely brave, the soldiers of Li Yuan's army are not confident that they will break it in the short term.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Zhun couldn't help but speak: "Big brother, the situation is quite unfavorable now, Black Dragon City can't be attacked in a short time, if we want to go back to the west, Yanzhao Pass has been lost again, and we are caught in the middle of a dilemma, which is really nerve-wracking." ”

Li Yuan said lightly: "Then what should you do in your opinion?"

Li Zhun thought for a while and said: "I think that although the troops in Black Dragon City are not many, they are all the elite under Shi Ziling, and with Shi Ziling personally in charge, although we have the advantage in troops, it is difficult to make a difference in the short term." We stormed at all costs for a day and night, and suffered heavy casualties, while the defenders of Shiziling suffered few casualties. If we continue to fight like this, the vitality of our legion will be damaged. ”

"In my opinion, it's better for us to simply go back to the west. Big brother, you once said that although Mijing City and Yanzhao Pass were lost, the troops left behind by Shiziling and Nangong Xia should not be too much, and if we return to attack back, there is still a good chance to recover the lost territory. Besides, the coalition forces of those small and medium-sized towns in the west must also be besieging Mijing City and even Yanzhao Pass at this time, and it is no problem for us to go back and join forces with them, and we want to recover the lost territory. ”

Li Zhun's suggestion was approved by many generals, and everyone echoed it, believing that returning to the west was a more appropriate choice.

Li Yuan glanced at the generals on both sides, and said coldly: "The reinforcements of the Songhu Legion and the Narcissus Legion of Nangong Xia are coming, we go back now, it is very likely that we will encounter them immediately, even if we avoid them, as soon as Shi Ziling sees us withdrawing, he will definitely immediately lead all the coalition forces to chase after us." It is taboo for the enemy to chase me and flee, this is how Xiahou's flying Yanyun army was completely defeated by us, how can we repeat the mistakes of the Xiahou family?"

"Also, even if we temporarily get rid of the pursuit of the Shiziling and Nangong Xia coalition forces, and even if we recover Yanzhao Pass and Mijing City, but we have spent so much effort and lost so many men and horses on this Northern Expedition, will all our efforts be in vain?"

Li Zhun was speechless, and all the generals were speechless.

Although their journey to the north was quite smooth, they did pay an extremely high price to fight to this point, and the 200,000 men and horses of the two major armies fought so far with only 80,000 people left. Originally, as long as they captured Black Dragon City again, they could be accomplished, but no one would have imagined that Shi Ziling would make a detour to attack their lair.

At this dilemma, if you give up easily, it will be unwilling for everyone. What's more, as Li Yuan said, even if he turns back now, there will still be interceptions in front and pursuers in the back, and it is really unpredictable whether he can successfully recover Yanzhao Pass and Mijing City.

Li Zhun hurriedly said: "Then what should we do? Are we just waiting for the other party to attack us?"

Li Yuan said lightly: "Shiziling's trick of sneak attack by a detour for thousands of miles is really very vicious, and the situation is already like this, no matter what, we will face the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on our backs." Even if we defeat the reinforcements of Nangong Xia and the Songhu Army, there is still Yanzhao Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, waiting for us in front, not to mention that Shi Ziling will definitely lead the army to chase after him and take the opportunity to cover up. ”

"Rather than this, I feel that it is better to be still than to move, so we simply set up a position here and fight to the death with Shiziling and them. As I said before, we still have a slight advantage in terms of strength, and we believe that our overall combat strength will never be weaker than their coalition forces, and the only disadvantage is that we will be attacked from the back. As long as our troops meet the enemy in two ways, there is actually nothing to worry about. ”
