Chapter 112: King An Won't Die (Three Watches)
The middle-aged man did not dodge.
Everyone thought he would dodge.
Unless he wants to die.
But he didn't.
He neither dodged nor died.
So except for the twenty horsemen, everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but be stunned.
The twenty horsemen did not slow down, and they rushed straight towards the middle-aged man. They were supposed to knock the middle-aged man into the air and then trample him to death. They are not afraid to do so. It was the middle-aged man who was looking for his own death. That's where they act. lest any one resist the requisition.
But the twenty horsemen failed to meet the middle-aged man.
When they were still seven steps away from the middle-aged man, they all flew upside down as if they were hitting a wall!
Twenty horsemen, in different directions, seemed to hit twenty walls, and flew upside down from the ground for several feet!
In front of them, the middle-aged man stood with his hands in his hands.
At this moment, time seems to freeze.
The next moment, twenty horsemen crashed to the ground from mid-air.
Not a free fall, but as if dropped by something.
Around the middle-aged man, the twenty horses were like dumplings in the pot, slamming into the ground.
Smoke and dust rose everywhere, and there were twenty more large craters on the ground.
Everyone was shocked, couldn't help but look this way, and then was stunned at the same time.
Twenty horses, all men and horses died.
From beginning to end, the middle-aged man did not make any movement.
But as long as you are not a fool, you know that this is his handiwork.
Because the next moment, the middle-aged man glanced in the direction of Taiyuan City in the west.
At this glance, he seemed to see something, and disappeared in place.
turned into a long rainbow and flew to the west!
It took half a sound for the people of the town to burst out into an earth-shattering shout, and then they flocked to the twenty big pits. Everyone's face was filled with a strong look of surprise and awe.
The young man stood on the edge of the pit and lost his mind for a long time.
Xu Cripple also rushed over.
The two looked at each other, and they were speechless for a long time.
"This ...... What the hell is it, sir?" the young man swallowed with difficulty, his tone full of awe and regret.
"How many people can there be in the world when you cultivate like this?" Xu Cripple was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "When Mr. left the wine shed, he said a word, do you remember?" ”
"Of course I remember!" said the young man, "Sir said that the Pinglu Army would win...... Because, King An will not die!"
Xu Lame looked to the west, in the light of the setting sun, his eyes were full of reminiscence, "In the past, I was guarding Gubeikou and encountered the Khitan sending 100,000 troops to invade the south, and there were only 800 people in the pass at that time. Eight hundred people, we withstood the attack of the Khitans, fought bloody battles for three days and three nights, and held on until the reinforcements arrived. ”
The young man's face was full of admiration, it was the blood and ambition of the man he longed for, but then he realized something and asked, "Can you lead the army to fight such a record....... Who was the Gubeikou lord at that time?"
Xu Cripple's eyes were full of sacredness, and he said word by word: "His Royal Highness King Lao An!"
The young man's heart was shocked, and he was immediately relieved, and said in a bowful tone: "No wonder, it turned out to be His Royal Highness King Lao An!"
Xu lame said: "At that time, Lao An Wang was still very young, and that was his battle for fame. Later, King Lao An conquered the north and south, governed the country and the people, and was praised by the world. Do you know that there has been a saying in the Gubeikou border army?"
"What are you talking about?" said the young man.
Xu Cripple took a deep breath, "King An is not dead, Datang is not dead!"
The young man was shaken again. But after a while, he said gloomily: "But Lao Anwang still died in Bagong Mountain." ”
"No, King An is not dead!" Xu Cripple suddenly became excited.
"Old lame, you ......" The young man was a little dazed.
Xu Cripple turned his head to stare at him, and said with great certainty: "Mr. Fang Cai said, King An will not die!"
The young man froze.
......
Pinglu Army Battalion.
Liu Da's front color is ugly.
In front of him, groups of soldiers were walking quickly, carrying the wounded to the rear camp for treatment. Many of them were seriously injured, and even if they were cured, they would have lost their combat power. The Hedong Army continued to storm the camp, and what made Liu Dazheng sad was the number of wounded, which was too much.
The army shouldn't have suffered so many casualties. With the combat strength of the Pinglu army, as long as it was not ravaged by the generals, there should not be so many wounded.
This can only show one problem, the combat strength of the soldiers is declining.
Liu Dazheng knows the reason very well.
There is only one reason: low morale.
"According to this trend, I am afraid that we will not hold out until dawn tomorrow. Beside Liu Dazheng, Zhao Poyu said in a deep voice, "The casualties of the army have crossed the line, and the morale will collapse immediately, and the gate will not be able to be defended!"
Liu Dazheng's face was gloomy, but he had nothing to do. This sense of powerlessness made him, the commander of the army, extremely painful.
The rapid defeat of the Pinglu army was due to the low morale caused by the insufficient number of generals. On the frontal battlefield, this is a problem that Liu Dazheng simply cannot solve.
He asked, "Where is General Shangguan?"
"At the gate. Zhao Poyu said, "Although the location is advantageous, if Li Keyong leads people to rush for a while, I am afraid that General Shangguan will not be able to support it." ”
"Transfer her back. General Shangguan is His Royal Highness's number one confidant, if she has any mistakes, you and I can't explain it to His Highness!" Liu Dazheng said with difficulty, letting Shangguan Chengcheng, the number one combat force, withdraw from the battlefield, which shows that Liu Dazheng has begun to give up the battle situation and is considering retreating.
Zhao Poyu realized Liu Dazheng's intentions, and he was also full of bitterness.
This time out to Hedong, the Pinglu army won consecutive battles, originally thought that they could capture Taiyuan City in one go, but who would have thought that there would be a change of Li Ye's departure in the middle, which would make the situation take a sharp turn in an instant?
The generals simply have no ability to save the battle.
Now, who has the ability to save the situation and save the 100,000 Pinglu army?
If there is no 100,000 Pinglu troops, it will not be a problem that Li Ye will not be able to get Hedong, but a problem that he will not be able to hold even Pinglu! When the time comes, whether the Hedong army attacks Pinglu or other feudal towns bite back, Pinglu, which has no elite soldiers, will have to be slaughtered by others.
Pinglu is Li Ye's foundation, Pinglu is gone, and in this troubled world, Li Ye has no capital to compete for power. Now is different from before the Huangchao Rebellion, all the princes have become powerful, and there is no time for Li Ye to develop slowly.
Zhao Poyu can think of this, and Liu Dazheng can also think of it, so their faces are extremely difficult to see.
But now, it's a dead end, what can they do?
When he came to Yuanmen, Zhao Poyu really saw that the Hedong Army was launching a fierce attack on the Shangguan Chengcheng Department guarding Yuanmen.
Finding Shangguan Allure, Zhao Poyu said eagerly: "General Shangguan, General Liu has an order to let you evacuate Yuanmen!"
Shangguan Chengcheng, who was standing behind the women's wall, said: "I can't withdraw." ”
Zhao Poyu had long known that Shangguan Allure would not retreat lightly, and he said, "This is a military order!"
Shangguan Chengcheng glanced at him, and then pointed to the Hedong Army, "Look what that is." ”
Zhao Poyu turned his head to look, and his eyes quickly lit up. More than 100 steps away, it turned out to be Li Ke's handsome flag!
"Li Keyong has come to attack the door in person, if I withdraw at this moment, the gate will be broken immediately!" Shangguan Chengcheng said calmly.
Zhao Poyu was silent for a while, "General Shangguan, how long can you stop Li Ke?"
Shangguan Chengcheng said: "It won't last long." But at least General Liu can withdraw first. ”
As the words fell, the Hedong Army suddenly erupted in a burst of shouting, and then a dazzling light erupted from a battle array, which turned out to be used by Li Ke in the battle array. This battle array quickly rushed forward, slapping on the courtyard gate and the camp wall like a tide, shaking the entire military camp as if it were trembling.
What followed was the onslaught of the soldiers of the Hedong Army. They built ladders, climbed the women's wall, and went one after another, like ants pounced. There are also some soldiers of the Hedong Army who are ramming the gate with crashing cars. In the camps of both sides, the rain of arrows continued to fly and fall on the opposing soldiers, providing cover for their own side.
"General Shangguan, you better withdraw, if you don't withdraw, it will be too late!" Zhao Poyu said eagerly.
Shangguan Chengcheng glanced at him coldly: "You have also seen this situation, if I withdraw at this time, the later troops will not have time to change their defenses, and they will be rushed into the camp by Li Keyong, and then the whole army will be defeated!"
Shangguan Allure is not pedantic, if she can withdraw, she will withdraw. But if you want tens of millions of lives in exchange for her, as a general in the army, except for those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, there are really not many people who can do this kind of thing.
Zhao Poyu said: "But if the general continues to hold on, he will only die here!"
Shangguan Chengcheng's expression was calm: "You go, I'll break it off." When an army is defeated, someone must die for the army. I'm in Yuanmen right now, right in this position, and I don't have a choice. ”
Zhao Poyu was in a hurry: "General Shangguan!"
"General Zhao!" Shangguan Chengcheng suddenly turned around, stared at him, and roared in a low voice with red eyes: "When His Highness left, he ordered us to surround Taiyuan City, guard the camp, and wait for him to return! Now His Highness has not returned, the army has been defeated, the military order has not been achieved, and the general, as a general, is guilty of ten thousand deaths! General Zhao, you will protect General Liu now, the Pinglu Army is His Highness's painstaking efforts, and it is also the foundation of His Highness's struggle for power in troubled times! The army can be defeated, Shangguan Chengcheng can be killed, and the Pinglu Army cannot be destroyed! Take the soldiers away and take the Pinglu Army back!"
After saying that, Shangguan Chengcheng turned around suddenly, waved his hand, and ordered his own soldiers: "Take General Zhao down!"
And she herself pulled out the horizontal knife at her waist and faced the soldiers of the Hedong Army who crossed the women's wall closely!
Zhao Poyu was set up off the camp wall, he struggled unsuccessfully, he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, and desperately shouted at the back of Shangguan who was fighting in the city: "General Shangguan! You insist on this, if His Highness asks about today's events, how can you let me wait?!"
Horizontal and vertical slashing, the young general of the Hedong Army in front of him broke the armor and killed, hearing Zhao Poyu's words, Shangguan's back was slightly stunned.
At that moment, even Zhao Poyu, who was twenty steps away, felt the stiffness of Shangguan Chengcheng's limbs.
However, the stiffness was gone in a flash after all, and Shangguan Chengcheng swung his sword to kill the next enemy, and her voice came out clearly: "Then please tell Your Highness that you can follow Your Highness in the north and south in this life, and Shangguan Chengcheng will die without regrets." It's just that Shangguan Allure is incompetent, and he has failed to complete His Highness's military orders, and he has been entrusted by His Highness, even though he still hates death! If there is an afterlife, Shangguan Allure will fight another 800 battles, and it will depend on His Highness to rule the world!"
Zhao Poyu's heart was shocked, he didn't know what to say, he only felt bitter.
Shangguan Allure on the camp wall had already entered the crowd of the Hedong Army and disappeared.
Li Keyong, who was draped all over his body, stood in front of the gate of the Pinglu Army camp, and looked coldly at Shangguan Chengcheng, who was fighting at the head of the city, his eyes were full of killing intent.
"If you force this king to attack Yuanmen in person, you can die blindly!" Li Ke snorted coldly, slowly pulled out his horizontal knife, and suddenly jumped up on the ground step by step, and ran towards Shangguan Chengcheng.
Li Keyong ran halfway, and Shangguan Chengcheng, who was stained with blood and armor, looked up and happened to see him.
Without the slightest hesitation, Shangguan Chengcheng rushed out with a knife and met him.
The generals of the military family will face off in the late stage of the duel.
Shangguan Allure was not afraid at all.
But the two did not meet each other.
Because a long rainbow suddenly swept from the eastern sky.
It's as fast as lightning.
Changhong landed straight at the gate of the Pinglu military camp.
One person, with green robe and silver hair, stepped on the flagpole of Yuanmen, and stood with his hands in his hands.
The monks above the Qi Refining Period couldn't help but be attracted by this person.
Liu Dazheng was the first to see Changhong, and he was the first to see the middle-aged man who showed his figure, his heart trembled, and the muscles on his face couldn't help twitching, "Your Palace...... Your Highness?"
When Li Keyong saw this person, his forward momentum came to an abrupt end. He clenched his horizontal knife and stood in front of the gate, looking up, waiting for the battle, his eyes full of fear.
When Shangguan Chengcheng saw this person, a flame of hope suddenly ignited in his bright and silent eyes.
As for the other Qi Practitioners, with just one glance, many of them couldn't help but stiffen their hands and feet, and their aura was sluggish.
A coercion that people dare not look at directly fell on their hearts like a mountain, oppressing them so much that they could not breathe. Only a monk who has cultivated a high level of qi can barely protect his mind and not be affected too much.
But at this moment, the other party didn't do anything, just appeared in front of everyone.
