Volume 2 The Rivers and Lakes in the Temple and Outside the Temple Chapter 101 Chess Opponents (II)
There are four cities in Yuezhou.
Yuecheng is the capital, and the three places are guarded, and the Yuecheng is firmly surrounded in the center.
To the east of Yuecheng, the name is Qiwu; to the west of Yuecheng, the name is Chuijiang; Yuecheng and Chang'an are far away, there are dozens of cities before Chang'an, and dozens of places defend Chang'an; and before Yuecheng, there is only one place alone guarding the center of Yuezhou, which is the middle, and the name is Nanfeng.
Anhe Town looks at Nanfeng from afar.
At the same time, Li Xiaocun in Anhe Town also stared at the city in front of him.
The soldiers are fast, and he has always been known for his speed, usually when others have not reacted, he has already come to the city.
His character hurt him this time, because for the sake of speed, he had hoarded nearly seventy percent of the grain on the Sifang Mountain, but unfortunately, it was burned by a fire.
Borrowing food and troops failed, and he was humiliated. In particular, he also let the son of Shangshu of the Criminal Department come to show off his might, which was a great insult to him.
Li Xiaocun finally couldn't help it, he decided to attack Nanfeng first and take Yuecheng directly.
This is not only the result of being angered by Xu Changan and Jiang Ming, but also the embodiment of his lack of choice.
He ran out of food.
Guo Fen is cunning and cunning, and he shirks everything, and Xu Changan directly expresses his resoluteness with the word "roll".
Before the two armies fought, they asked Chang'an for help, how would he Li Xiaocun survive in the army in the future?
Therefore, he can only break the cauldron and sink the boat, if he wins the battle and then takes Yuecheng directly, then he will be recorded in history and become a legend.
This is the only way for him to do it in the end.
A victory will be famous through the ages, and a defeat will be ruined.
The 40,000 soldiers of the Middle Route Army poured out of the nest, the long ges were shining with dignified light, and the battle flags were hunting. These 40,000 soldiers shouted loudly, and the dust was full of momentum, like a tiger descending from the mountain.
Li Xiaocun looked at this scene, and he was very proud in his heart, he thought that he would definitely win the battle.
Before all the generals set off, they must be imposing, if you don't even have the confidence to defeat the opponent, then it is better to surrender directly.
He seems to have seen himself worship the general, become the Great Pillar Kingdom, and become the king with a different surname.
He felt that his future was bright, just like the rising sun at the head of Nanfeng City.
......
Liu Chenglang had already rushed to Nanfeng.
It's the first fight, it's important for him, he has to win beautifully, he has to win crisply.
The 80,000 troops that the Han family had kept privately over the years also rushed to the front line, and Liu Chenglang borrowed the Chu family's talisman to transfer troops to defend the Chujiang River, but he didn't expect to be rejected by the generals of the Chu family on the grounds that the Chu family had not completely evacuated Chang'an. He had no choice but to mobilize the honest Qin army, with 10,000 each of Qiwu and Chuijiang to assist in the defense.
In terms of troops, 80,000 against 40,000, Liu Chenglang won completely.
In terms of the quality of the soldiers, the Holy Dynasty army has never neglected training and is of extremely high quality, while the soldiers in the other areas, in order to increase their prestige, have also arrested many old and weak, sick and disabled people. The soldiers of the Holy Dynasty can easily do it without saying that one is ten, and one enemy can easily do it. At this point, Li Xiaocun won completely.
It's a battle of quality and quantity!
If it is an ordinary general, the number of 80,000 against the four kings will definitely be confrontation head-on. It's a pity that his opponent is called Liu Chenglang.
Li Xiaocun looked at the soldiers behind him with confidence, looked at the siege vehicles and ladders that had been prepared long ago, and then looked at the big "Han" character at the head of the city.
When the first rays of sunlight shone on the banner of the word "Han" fluttering in the wind, the young general of the Holy Dynasty put on his battle robe, personally walked up to the high platform, and beat the war drums.
One drum sounded, and the dragon crossed the river.
After two drums sounded, all the soldiers screamed and rushed forward.
Li Xiaocun looked at the soldiers with high fighting spirit, beat the drum three links, and after the three drums were finished, the soldiers had already arrived at the city, ready to set up a ladder and climb the city gate.
The soldiers of Qiwu seemed vulnerable, and their rain of arrows did not cause any damage to the shields of the Holy Dynasty.
Seeing this, Li Xiaocun put down the war drum in his hand and shouted loudly: "The first person to plant the flag will be credited." The words immediately spread throughout the battlefield, and all the soldiers struggled to climb up the ladder.
Li Xiaocun lifted his long knife, stepped on his war horse, rolled up a puff of dust, cut off many arrows shot at him along the way, shouted loudly, and went straight to the city.
He looked at the old and weak soldiers at the head of the city, looked at the elite soldiers of the Holy Dynasty who were climbing, and laughed.
"This is a good achievement!" he said, with a light tap of his toes, he rose from the ground, pulled a small flag with the character "Li" from the back of a soldier, and went straight to the head of the city.
The moment he stood at the head of the city, a coercion came, and he realized that something was wrong, and he wanted to retreat, but he didn't expect that it was too late.
Dressed in cloth, the middle-aged man with a simple long sword stretched out his right hand and shook it towards him, and Li Xiaocun passed uncontrollably.
Li Xiaocun was caught in the hall or something, the middle-aged man didn't speak, and kicked his calf, his calf hurt, and he knelt down involuntarily.
"Grandmaster!" Li Xiaocun glanced at the middle-aged man hatefully.
There are only a few grandmasters in the world, they can count them, they thought that this grandmaster had no one else except for the three ancestors and the head of the Han family, but they didn't expect that there would be one more stranger.
It stands to reason that the powerful spies of the Holy Dynasty will definitely find out the high-end combat power of a city, and when the city is attacked, there will naturally be people who will face people above the level of grandmaster, and a grandmaster is capable of changing a war.
It's not that the grandmaster can defeat a thousand, or even ten thousand.
Instead, they have the ability to take the head of the enemy general from the army, unless the opposite side is also a grandmaster-level master.
Li Xiaocun regretted it a little, he knew that he shouldn't be so impulsive.
He is not afraid of failure, he is afraid of this failure, and he is embarrassed by failure.
"Phew!" he spat at the sword-carrying grandmaster.
The Grandmaster turned a blind eye, and just as he was about to curse a few words, a familiar voice came.
"General Li, long time no see. ”
A man dressed in white sat in a wheelchair, and a man with a long sword on his back respectfully pushed the wheelchair.
Li Xiaocun suddenly lost his voice, and his face changed from doubt to surprise, and finally to fear.
"Ryu Seung-lang!" he finally relented and said the name through gritted teeth.
It was this person who scolded him for being a waste on the military exercise ground and trampled him under his feet.
"Victory is not martial!" Li Xiaocun, who was kneeling on the ground, could only say this sentence in the end.
Liu Chenglang smiled and looked out of the city, where soldiers had already climbed the tower.
He looked at Li Xiaocun: "You were just captured for a moment, and your soldiers are still attacking the city according to your arrangement, why don't we make a bet?"
Before Li Xiaocun could speak, Liu Chenglang continued: "Now let's watch, your soldiers will follow your strategy, and my soldiers will follow my arrangements in advance, neither of us will issue orders, see who laughs in the end! If you win, Liu is willing to use his head as your night pot!"
Li Xiaocun glanced at many soldiers who had climbed upstairs, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, it's up to you!"
Liu Chenglang smiled slightly and looked out of the city.
The Pilgrimage soldiers, the offensive is like a tide, wave after wave, this is the most stupid method, and at the same time the most effective way to deal with soldiers with poor quality.
Nanfeng's soldiers were already weak, and the soldiers of the Holy Dynasty were on the offensive.
The castle tower was already occupied, and when the middle-aged man saw this, he raised his hand slightly, and Liu Chenglang floated in the air, supported by an invisible force.
The middle-aged man grabbed Li Xiaocun with his other hand, glanced at Wang Huihai, and said lightly: "Let's take a look in another place." ”
In just a few breaths, the four of them arrived at the top of the tallest pagoda in Nanfeng.
Li Xiaocun had just stood firm on the top of the tower, only to hear a loud bang, the city was broken!
The gate guarding Nanfeng collapsed!
Li Xiaocun suddenly laughed: "Liu Chenglang, you lost!"
Ryu Seunglang didn't respond to him, motioning for him to look on.
The moment the gate collapsed, all the soldiers poured in.
Li Xiaocun glanced at Liu Chenglang proudly.
Liu Chenglang smiled slightly, nodded, and still did not speak.
Li Xiaocun was suddenly shocked, 80,000 soldiers defending the city, no matter how weak they were, it was impossible for them to break through the city gate in just one hour! He seemed to think of Liu Chenglang's last move, so he wanted to shout loudly, but he couldn't make any sound!
At this moment, there was a drum sound, and the drum sound was completely different from Li Xiaocun's previous drum sound, and there was a low and decisive flavor in it.
The drums sounded, and a large flag outside the city was raised, with a big "Han" character written on it.
Suddenly, a lot of soldiers came out of the streets in the city, and the soldiers who had already entered the city shouted to retreat!
It's a pity that there are also shouts outside the city, the soldiers of the Holy Dynasty outside the city don't want to squeeze into the city, and the soldiers in the city don't want to retreat outside the city, Li Xiaocun can only watch his soldiers squeeze together like dumplings, and they are those fillings!
There were too many soldiers in the Holy Dynasty, it was difficult to command, and the main general was not present, shouts on both sides were everywhere, all of them retreated, and the whole army suddenly became chaotic, and many soldiers who did not know the reason were trampled under their feet before they could hear the shouts clearly!
Liu Chenglang glanced at Li Xiaocun proudly, and gestured to the middle-aged man, Li Xiaocun's eyes were red.
At this time, he was already able to make a sound, and he didn't want to speak.
It turned out that there was really no grandmaster, and he was also a failure, and the results illustrate this very well.
He was already hopeless, already disappointed.
Despair of this war, disappointment in oneself.
He closed his eyes, not wanting to look at the soldiers who were helpless because he was panicked and made dumplings.
His voice was a little hoarse: "Can you lend me a sword? As a general, I don't want to die in your hands." ”
Liu Chenglang glanced at Wang Huihai, and Wang Huihai stuck the long sword in his hand in front of him!
Li Xiaocun pulled out the black giant sword, sighed "Good sword", closed his eyes, and put the sword around his neck!
Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and smoke and dust rose in the distance.
Li Xiaocun opened his eyes, and a big banner with the word "Xu" was raised in the smoke and dust, which was extremely bright!
The shouts were loud, Xue Pan took the lead, and wherever the long knife went, the Nanfeng soldiers fell like wheat.
The Nanfeng soldiers were originally skins, but they didn't expect that there were people behind them, and they suddenly became chaotic.
slashed and killed all the way, and Xue Pan led his troops to the city.
Xu Changan rode a white horse, wearing a somewhat unaccustomed battle armor, and slowly paced out, looking at the broken city gate.
"The biggest one came out to answer!" Xu Changan looked at this city at his fingertips and shouted loudly.
Liu Chenglang's face sank like water, and he looked at a cloth-clothed swordsman.
The cloth-clothed swordsman spread out his hands: "My Jian Jiu said that before you helped me find my senior brother, I only protected your safety and made a move for you once, and said and kicked Li Xiaocun, who was happy. ”
Liu Chenglang was helpless, so he could only say: "Let's go, let's go to the top of the city tower." ”
Xu Changan looked up, and saw that there were four more people on the city tower, and the white-clothed Confucian must be Liu Chenglang in Jiang Ming's mouth, and at the same time, he also looked at the familiar figure, the gatekeeper of Shushan at the beginning. Xu Changan's eyes were full of doubts when he looked at Wang Huihai, but Wang Huihai smiled contemptuously, now he is a little grandmaster, and he can also see that Xu Changan is just the peak of his knowledge.
The other two, a swordsman in linen, and a general who was tied up by Wuhua and wore the armor of the Holy Dynasty! Xu Changan didn't have to think about it to know that it must be Li Xiaocun who was tied up!
"Make a deal!"
Xu Changan looked at Liu Chenglang.
"It's really terrifying, I know that you have Han Shitao by your side, so I specially asked the head of the Han family to guard the Chuijiang, but I didn't expect you to touch here. ”
Liu Chenglang did not answer Xu Changan, but looked at this enemy who made him deflated with admiration.
"Weeping the river!" Xu Changan continued: "Isn't there a river in that broken place, I got thousands of scarecrows and put them on the other side of the river!"
Liu Chenglang clapped his hands and kept admiring: "Wonderful, wonderful! What I didn't notice the most was you, and it was you who surprised me the most." Yoo Seung-lang had a look of excitement on his face, as if he was excited by having an opponent.
"Don't talk nonsense, make a deal. Xu Changan was filled with smoke and dust behind him, and he didn't know how many soldiers there were.
Liu Chenglang looked at the smoke and dust behind Xu Changan, and suddenly said, "How many people are you here?"
"Guess. Xu Changan said these two words seriously.
"I guess no more than five thousand. Liu Chenglang stared at Xu Changan's eyes.
Xu Changan was not afraid at all and greeted him.
"Are you sure that there are only five thousand, and you still don't organize a counterattack?" Xu Changan looked at Liu Chenglang and chuckled.
Their eyes froze, and the air seemed to become a little hot.
After a while, Liu Chenglang sighed, looked away, and said softly: "Let's talk about your deal!"
"Lao Tzu didn't want your little broken city, let that person go. "There is no need for Xu Changan to signal, they all know that the person is talking about Li Xiaocun.
"What if I don't?"
"Break the city!"
Xu Changan made a loud voice and looked at Liu Chenglang.
Liu Chenglang sighed leisurely and said, "Okay, you won!" As soon as the words fell, the cloth-clothed swordsman threw Li Xiaocun down the city gate.
Xue Pan immediately caught Li Xiaocun, he is also in the Huixi Realm, and this kind of strength is more than enough to take over Li Xiaocun.
Seeing this, Xu Changan raised his hand and shouted: "Retreat!"
The soldiers led by Xu Changan slowly retreated.
Liu Chenglang looked at Xu Changan, getting more and more excited, until now, he was not sure how many people Xu Changan had brought.
Xu Changan glanced at Liu Chenglang defiantly, suddenly pulled out his long sword, jumped up, and carved a big "Xu" character on the wall of Nanfeng City!
Wang Huihai wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Liu Chenglang.
After Xu Changan finished carving, he laughed, jumped back on the horse's back, tightened the horse's head, and slowly retreated.
Jiang Ming, who was rushing with the troops, saw this scene from afar, and the corners of his eyes kept jumping!
Seeing that Xu Changan withdrew safely, he was also relieved.
On Nanfeng City, Wang Huihai pushed Liu Chenglang and left slowly.
"Childe, do you want to erase that word?"
Yoo Seung-lang shook his head.
"Forget it, he'll make me remember this defeat. ”
