Lingwu Zhenren only felt that the sun in the sky was scorching, and the sweat-soaked clothes on his body became heavier and heavier, and even every breath became difficult.

After taking a few more steps, Lingwu Zhenren felt that he was about to run out of strength, and every step he took seemed to be overdrawing his physical strength. He could no longer hold the tray in his hand, and he could no longer support his body. Finally, he stopped, shook and shook three times, and finally fell headlong.

Wei Dongfan's reaction at first was to laugh, as if he felt that Lingwu Zhenren was intimidated by his own power. Xu Wei and Zhao Meng's hearts suddenly rose to their throats, now this distance is very embarrassing, not far or close, I really don't know what to do. They also don't know if the opposing team will move on. I don't know if I should wait until I'm in the best position to do it, or if I should do it right away.

When the two of them hesitated, Bai Lizhen, who was following Wei Dongfan, found that something was wrong, his eyes were not attracted by Lingwu Zhenren, since he entered the urn city, he had been observing around. After he found the battlements, under the roof, he could faintly see the helmet cherry blossoms of several helmets, as well as the tips of crossbows, no! This is obviously an ambush!

Li Baizhen hurriedly said loudly: "It's not good, there are ambushes." ”

This time, Xu Wei knew that he couldn't wait any longer, and as soon as he raised his hand, the ambushes behind the wall and on the roof were exhausted. Xu Wei shouted: "Do it!" "For a while, the arrows were like flying locusts, and the white lotus spirit horsemen who were the first to enter the city kept falling down with arrows.

Almost at the same time, the Houtu cavalry on both sides also shouted, and then rushed up to fight with the Huoyan soldiers. Baili Zhen shouted: "Swear to protect the Lord to break through, swear to protect the Lord to break through, swear to protect the Lord to break through......"

If it was an ordinary army trapped in a heavy encirclement, the morale of the army would have been in chaos a long time ago. However, this is the Huo Yan soldiers, and most of them are selected elite taxes from among the disciples of the Fire Spirit Dao.

In the face of such a crisis, they just calmly responded to the battle, although they were at an absolute disadvantage. From time to time, when they are fighting the enemy, they will be knocked down by crossbows fired from a high place. However, their formation was never chaotic.

After turning around, Baili Zhen fought hard to find a bloody road. Due to the fall of Lingwu Zhenren, the depth of Wei Dongfan's Chinese army entering the urn city was actually not deep enough. The cavalry of the Houtu Sect that rushed up on both sides could not cut off the part of the head of the White Lotus and the main army. Therefore, it is not difficult to retreat.

Although it was costly, he finally withdrew. Wei Dongfan didn't care about anything else, and as soon as he got out of the city gate, he galloped wildly. Baili Zhen followed closely beside him, turning around and drawing his bow and shooting at the head of the city. Baili Zhen is proficient in martial arts, otherwise he would not have become one of the three personal guards of the Piao Gao Patriarch back then. At this time, Baili Zhen shot two arrows in a row, and the arrows were not missing, and I saw that two rear earth soldiers at the head of the city fell down with arrows.

Such a magic arrow, rare in the world, suddenly frightened the earth archers on the city wall did not dare to raise their heads. Wei Dongfan and Baili Zhen's horses are fast, and the horses that the main general will ride were originally selected by thousands of people. With the enemy's courage not to show their heads, the two of them ran out dozens of feet away at once, and the arrows could no longer be shot. The Chinese soldiers also took this opportunity to run back and escaped with their lives.

Although Wei Dongfan escaped, the price was not small, and all the White Lotus Elite Horses he selected were lost in the urn city. Huo Yan, who was guarding beside him, had all been killed in battle, and if it weren't for Bailizhen's bravery, I am afraid that the Chinese army would have suffered heavy losses. Now in addition to the more than 100 people who died in battle, the main force of the Huoyan soldiers is basically still there.

"What now?" Wei Dongfan was shocked, where else to take any ideas.

"The general is in a panic, there is no general, and the general is safe," Baili Zhen said: "It's just that the Houtu Sect sees that our army is in chaos, and it will inevitably take the opportunity to attack, and our army should immediately set up a formation and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

Wei Dongfan still has some talent in commanding the army, but he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and he came back to his senses after being reminded by Baili Zhen, and immediately ordered: "Pass my order, set up a formation, set up a formation." ”

The Huoyan soldiers immediately sounded the trumpet and lined up, but the Houtu Sect did not come to chase them, but closed the city gates. Wei Dongfan was a little puzzled: "What's the matter, they don't plan to come out, so just give up?" So what do we do, let's go? ”

Bai Lizhen was also puzzled, thought about it, and said: "Our cavalry of the front army has all fallen into the city, if we return to the army, then if the enemy's cavalry comes to chase, it is impossible for us to escape." If the cavalry catches us up halfway, and we don't have a chance to line up, then we will definitely be killed. ”

Baili Zhen thought about it again, and then made up his mind and said, "So, you can't retreat now." After thinking about it, he added, "Where is Da Lian, take your people to dig a ditch quickly, and the cavalry will come to charge in a while." "Da Lian was promoted to the chief flag officer because of the battle of Phoenix Slope, and he didn't follow the front just now, and he has been with the infantry army behind, which can be regarded as picking up a life. At this time, he listened to Baili Zhen's order, and immediately led his soldiers to dig up desperately.

The time was too short for them to build other fortifications. I had to reluctantly dig two trenches against cavalry, and set up some sharp wooden stakes and the like in them, and then the whole army waited for the other side to attack. However, the gates of Jiangcheng were still closed, but the sun was climbing higher and higher, and the weather was hotter.

In the end, the gate of Jiangcheng City was finally opened, and it seems that the Houtu Sect also had some entanglement and debate about whether to attack, and now they have finally decided to go out of the city for a decisive battle. At this time, it was exactly noon, and all the Huo Yan soldiers had not drunk a sip of water since the morning, and they were all thirsty and tired. At this time, the weather was too hot to be able to stand, and the soldiers had to work hard to stand, let alone fight.

In the city gate, the cavalry of the Houtu Sect flew out, their armor shining in the sunlight. In the distance, only patches of light could be seen, and such spots kept coming out of the city gates, and more and more.

Baili Zhen felt that the weather was so hot that it was difficult to breathe, and he really hoped that there would be a hint of wind at this time, and just as he was thinking, a gust of wind blew the red flag. Baili Zhen felt a hint of coolness and looked up at the sky. It turned out that the wind and clouds had suddenly changed, and the wind was blowing and gradually gathering the dark clouds.

Cavalry poured out of the gates, and they lined up as they left the city. It was overcast at this time, and although the wind made everyone feel a little cool, the weather became stuffy and wet, and the robes and armor pressed against the skin, sticky, wet and heavy, making people very uncomfortable. Many people began to exude an unpleasant smell on their bodies, and the dampness and heat became more and more intense.
