Chapter 542: Can't Win (Second Watch)

The battle on the heavenly dome is no longer beyond the reach of mortals, and the battle on the ground is also coming to an end.

It can be said that the Jingwu army has fought very tenaciously, and if it were other armies, and even in the face of such a scene in Luanfeng, I am afraid that it would have already collapsed into a plate of scattered sand, but they did not, and even firmly blocked the offensive of the Tang army.

Of course, part of the reason is that Tang Jun himself did not expect the Luan Feng to appear, let alone the dark clouds and dragon roars that appear now, and in the successive changes, they also seemed confused.

But at the same time that Gao Changgong was seriously injured by Luan Feng, they still broke through the defense line of the Jing Wu army, and as the Jing Wu army began to rout, they aimed their enemies with the butcher knives in their hands and began a grand slaughter!

"Don't retreat! those who retreat will not be spared!" In the midst of the infantry army, the already exhausted building roared at the top of his throat, but in the midst of this rout, the sky was thundering incessantly, and his voice seemed so small that it could not be heard far.

"Don't shout! it's useless!" Wang Zhu's face was pale, although he had just been stabbed in the thigh, although he had done a good bandage, but it was already very difficult to move, and in the face of countless defeated troops, his eyes were already full of fear, "Something happened to the general......

The news that Gao Changgong was dragged out of the sea of fire by the guard battalion had not yet had time to come out. Under Luanfeng's offensive just now, Wang Zhu already felt that Gao Changgong was more than lucky, but he still didn't dare to say it directly, but his heart was already like a pool of dead ashes: "We are defeated!"

However, there was a violent sound of wind in his ears, followed by a sharp blow that blackened his eyes, and the rough palm slapped his face, and the left side of his face immediately swelled high, leaving a scarlet palm print.

"You!" Wang Zhu didn't scold out loud, but the building angrily grabbed his collar, although the injury on his body was not lighter than Wang Zhu, but at this time, the arrogance on his body was far stronger than that of the fearful Wang Zhu, as his eyes widened, he yelled viciously, "Defeat your mother! Lao Tzu is still alive, how can he be defeated! Have the ability to let those eight kings step on Lao Tzu's corpse! Lao Tzu is still a good man after more than ten years!"

Wang Zhu laughed miserably: "What's the use of you living? Look at how many people will listen to you? You, an infantry officer, are not even a fart now!"

"The general is not dead!" the building glared at him and yelled, "You don't know how strong the general's cultivation is, but how can a broken bird die?"

The mythical Rui beast Luan Feng is called a broken bird, Wang Zhu looked at the building in front of him, seriously showing a bit of mockery, thinking that probably only such a brainless and fearless person can say it, really calculated, if it weren't for the black cloud that forced Luan Feng to constantly change positions in the air, I'm afraid they would all have to be burned into a ball of charcoal at this moment.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but scold in his heart: No matter how strong a general is, he is still a human after all, and when he encounters this kind of person who is not human, even if he is strong, what can he do?

But at this time, the war drums of the Jing Wu army sounded again, and the low whining of the horn was still heard in the thunder, although it was not as majestic as when it was first launched, but it also sent a signal.

In the distance, Wang Zhu and the building saw a figure sitting upright on a horse, a large flag waving behind him, and the silver spear in the man's hand flashed brightly.

Jing Wu God of War.

Gao Changgong is not dead yet! Their Jing Wu victory is still sitting on the war horse, so straight that it seems that it will never fall.

A burst of cheers suddenly rang out in the Jing Wu army.

"Hahahahaha......ha

Although he was so tired that he was about to close his eyes, he didn't know where the strength came from, so he suddenly grabbed a flag, held it high, as if supporting the soul of the army, and then tore his throat and shouted: "Don't escape!

The big flag in his hand fluttered in the wind, and he was so proud.

But what he didn't know was that in the guard camp in the hinterland of the three armies, everyone's eyes were worried, Zhang Mingqi sat on the war horse with his body propped up, and the burned place began to ache faintly, but he was more worried about Gao Changgong who was sitting on the war horse.

He knows very well how bad Gao Changgong's body is now, his qi and blood are almost exhausted, his whole body has been hit by Luan Feng many times, his ribs are broken four, one leg can barely stand, and even on the horse, he relied on the support of his subordinates to finally climb up.

But even so, Gao Changgong, who was sitting on the war horse, still gritted his teeth, straightened his back, and ignored the beads of sweat that continued to ooze from his forehead......

"General, forget it, General, you need to rest......" Zhang Mingqi continued to persuade him when he was helping him to get on the horse.

But after Gao Changgong worked hard to climb on the war horse, he once again showed the faint smile that had always hung on his face, and said: "This matter really can't be counted, now that the three armies are shaken, and morale has begun to collapse, if I can't sit still at this time, I'm afraid ...... None of us can go home. ”

So he still insisted on sitting on his horse, even though the spear, which usually seemed so light to him that it was about to fall, was trembling and about to fall, but he held on, like a banner waving in the wind, supporting the backbone of the whole army.

"The front army retreated, let Zhu Li and Yinsheng not hold on to death, let go of a hole, and let the Tang army pass. By the way, tell Gao Yanzong that the Qingzhou ghost rider does not have to collide head-on with the Xuanjia heavy rider again, and the main thing is to delay. Gao Changgong gave orders one after another, and the sound of the war drums began to change.

Behind him, the flag soldiers also kept waving the flags in their hands, and even though the lightning flashed, the expressions on their faces still did not waver.

"Is the general trying to lure the enemy deeper?" Zhang Mingqi asked after listening to Gao Changgong's order, tilting his head and thinking about it.

"Luring the enemy deeper?" Gao Changgong grinned, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly for a moment because of the sore spot, "Now I really don't have this mood, I just think about how to survive." ”

"Live...... Live?" Zhang Mingqi frowned, he really didn't expect Gao Changgong to say this.

While Gao Changgong took a breath, someone next to him immediately wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with a towel: "We can't win this battle." ”

He sighed: "I didn't expect her to appear, nor did I expect her current cultivation, just this mistake is enough to bury the three armies, and now I can only think of ways to make up for this first." Since victory is impossible, the defeat is still up for debate, and although the situation of our army is not good, the Tang army is already very tired. In this case, why not give them a way to live, they have a way to live, naturally they won't be so desperate, always ...... It's better than burning jade. ”

Zhang Mingqi nodded, and understood: "Does the general want to avoid the war?" Also, our army is unwilling to lose, and the Tang Army's Shenwu Heavenly Army and Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry are not easy to establish, let alone fold all here, once our army avoids the war, the Tang Army will probably make the same choice as us." ”

Gao Changgong laughed again: "Although I am a little sorry for the Mo family by doing this, but after all, the alliance between countries is just to seek common progress and retreat, and help each other, but to cut Jing Wu's meat to feed the Mo family, I am really not such a saint." ”

Laughing and laughing, in fact, Gao Changgong's tone also revealed a bit of helplessness.

Zhang Mingqi couldn't say anything when he heard it. He is no longer the rich man who didn't want anything at the beginning, he has improved his way of dealing with people and things, and he knows Gao Changgong's difficulties very well.

The alliance between countries is essentially nothing more than an exchange of interests, which often involves the interests of hundreds of thousands of people or even millions of people, and naturally it is difficult to return to simplicity.

If Gao Changgong is just a ranger, he can be ignored, but since he is the general of Jing Wu, everything must naturally be based on Jing Wu's interests.

This time, Jing Wu led his army north, and they had two goals, the most important and urgent of which was to curb the expansion of Canghai or Tang in the territory of the Mo family.

Therefore, the Jingwu army was divided into two places, and Zhu Ran, the commander of the forbidden army of Jingwu, had already arrived secretly in the direction of Jinzhou before, although he only had 30,000 people, but after all, under Wang Xuanwei's series of schemes, the main force of the Tang army had been dispersed, and the role that these 30,000 elites could play was enough to exceed the expectations of the Tang army.

Although Zhang Mingqi had not heard the news yet, at the same time that the dry river was refilled with water, Zhu Ran must have led the army down the river with pre-built ships, and the total number of defenders of the three counties in the hands of the Tang army was only 10,000, and it was attacked by the Jingwu army, which was good at water warfare, from the waterway, and there was only one way to lose.

In this way, Xingzhou is no longer an isolated city, and with the echo of the three parties, even if the Tang army has 200,000, it is extremely difficult to break through in a short time.

And the other purpose is the current huge battle. After thinking about it, Gao Changgong and Wang Xuanwei's thoughts can be said to coincide, they both want to encircle and annihilate the two strong armies of the Tang State here: the Shenwu Heavenly Army and the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, even if they can't be completely annihilated, at least they will have to be hit hard.

These more than 50,000 people are the elite of the Tang State, once they are seriously damaged, presumably the Tang State will not only suffer a blow to the offensive this time, but even for a long time the Tang State needs to recover its national strength before it is possible to send troops to fight again.

The Mo family has more than 400,000 soldiers, and the strength can be said to be the largest in the world, even if it loses nearly 100,000 in this war, it is still strong, and it can even take the opportunity to dispatch a large army to Chen soldiers on the border of the Tang State and encroach on the territory of the Tang State.

As for the benefits that Jing Wu can get, he can be stable for a long time, and at the same time organize the national government, train the army, and make long-term preparations for the future.

After all, although Jingwu is located in the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and has the advantage of fish, salt and shipping, but after several generations of civil strife in the Wu Kingdom, the national strength is already a world away from that year.

It is best to seek peace.
