Chapter 121: Hard Fight
The four walls of Taiyuan City are crowded with people, densely packed like ants, and there is hardly much blank space to see.
Some sections have already been occupied by the officers and troops, and the officers and men of the two sides have fought bloody battles in every square inch; some sections are still attacking and defending on the city wall, and the stones and rolling wood and molten iron arrows on the city wall are constantly pouring down, and the officers and soldiers on the ladder have been hit, screaming and falling like dumplings.
In other sections, the siege nest cars and building cars leaned against the city wall, and the officers and soldiers continued to climb the city wall from the cars.
The monks on both sides flew vertically and horizontally, leading elite forces, constantly providing cover for their own side, tearing apart the opponent's formation and defense line, blood burst everywhere they went, and from time to time severed limbs and wreckage flew up.
Due to the limited battlefield space at the head of the city, hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides could not come out, and every soldier went to the field to fight. But the absolute elite of the two armies have already met on the battlefield at this moment.
As the war continued, there were more and more officers and soldiers in the city, and Rao was Fu Cunxian, Kang Junli and other generals of the Hedong Army, leading the elite of the headquarters to keep running, driving batches of officers and soldiers off the city, and they could not save the overall situation.
After all, there are only three of them, and the realm is only a general, so they can't take care of too many places. The Pinglu army was generally better at fighting than the Hedong army, and Shangguan Chengcheng personally went into battle to suppress Fu Cunxian and others, so the Pinglu army was still constantly breaking through the defense line.
On the tall buildings in the city, Li Ke observed the battle situation of the various city walls with his negative hands, and his brows never stretched.
Most of the time, his gaze fell on the eastern city wall, which was the main direction of attack of the Pinglu army.
Over there, the elite armor of the Pinglu Army, under the leadership of the monks in the army, kept slashing and killing the soldiers of the Hedong Army in the tug-of-war with the Hedong Army. They stepped on the bones of one after another Hedong Army battle formations, steadily pushing the battle formations forward.
Behind them, more Pinglu troops climbed up to the top of the city, or gathered to join the warband, or rushed to other parts of the city to open up new battlefields.
The Hedong Army resisted with difficulty, and most of them could not hold a fixed position, and after paying nearly half of the casualties, they could only be forced to retreat. Although there are occasional brave people who can repel the Pinglu army in turn, there are too few such troops after all.
There is a clear difference in the combat strength of the two sides, although it has long been known that the Pinglu army is good at fighting, and the Hedong army is inferior, but on the battlefield of blood and fire, seeing his own soldiers constantly being killed by the opponent's armor, Li Keyong is still heartbroken.
The elite of the Pinglu army lies in its well-trained and experienced wars - these Hedong troops are not lacking, and what the Hedong army lacks is as good armament as the Pinglu army, as well as a terrifying proportion of monks.
After Li Ye reorganized the demon clan power brought by the Holy Son, the proportion of monks in the army increased significantly, which was beyond the reach of the Hedong Army.
Although the Hedong Army has the support of Shimen, but Shimen is only a secular force in the final analysis, and as early as the Huangchao Rebellion, it was killed by Li Ye with high-end combat power, and the demon clan is beyond the worldly and close to the power of the Immortal Court.
As for the monks of the Buddha Domain, those are all great monks above the real human realm, and they will not join the military camp.
Seeing that the Pinglu army had already occupied three or four tenths of the eastern city, Li Keyong knew that he couldn't drag it out like this any longer, although he was unwilling, he still had to take a deep breath and shouted: "Thirteen Taibao!"
Among the soldiers on standby downstairs, Li Cunxiao came out in response and hugged his fist to Li Ke: "The last general!"
His eyes fell on Li Cunxiao, and Li Ke paused for three breaths before he said: "The Pinglu Army will be handed over to the general, and I hope the general will not disappoint this king!"
Li Cunxiao raised his head and said excitedly: "Don't worry, if the county king can't repel the Pinglu army, the last general will come to see you!"
With that, Li Cunxiao turned around and strode away.
Looking at Li Cunxiao's resolute back as he rushed to the city, Li Ke lowered his eyes.
He is the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, the lord of Hedong, and should also be the strongest existence in Hedong. However, on the battlefield, his talent is not as good as Li Cunxiao. That's it, usually he doesn't have to fight for his life at all, but this battle is different.
When Hedong lives and dies, it is not he, the lord of Hedong, who saves the overall situation, but Li Cunxiao - and in the event of his defeat.
If Li Cunxiao wins this battle, his prestige in the army and his status in the eyes of the people in Hedong are only afraid that he may surpass Li Keyong.
The power is high.
Even if Li Cunxiao has no intention of betrayal and self-reliance, how can Li Keyong rest assured?
But if Li Cunxiao was defeated in this battle, Taiyuan was taken away by the Pinglu army, and Li Keyong would have to flee to the north. But even if he fled to the north and returned to the territory of Shatuo, Li Ye was bound to order the Pinglu army to pursue.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he doesn't die, then the entire Hedong will fall into the hands of Li Ye.
Without Hedong and without the great cause, even if we can save our lives and survive in the world, what is the point? The extra decades of life are just painful and tormented day after day.
Li Keyong hopes that Li Cunxiao will win, there is no doubt about this.
But in addition to this, he still has a little bit of selfishness, that is, this time against the Lu army, it is best to win at the same time, Li Cunxiao can not be in the battle.
In this way, it is the best situation for Li Keyong.
Quietly, Rick clenched his fists.
On the east wall of the city, Shangguan Chengcheng is commanding the Pinglu army to attack on all sides. In the half-day fierce battle, she always seized a section of the city in view of the difference in the enemy's defensive forces, with the most reasonable distribution of troops and the most effective way of attacking.
As the Pinglu army spread to the city like a tide, the officers and men of the Hedong Army disappeared one by one like submerged river sand. The tide kept advancing on the city walls, and the soldiers of the Hedong Army were either killed or forced to retreat.
Just when the situation was very good, Shangguan Chengcheng suddenly felt something, and looked up at the tower in the middle of the city wall. When she saw the scene there, her eyes immediately turned awe-inspiring.
In front of the city tower, there are hundreds of armor soldiers, all of whom are tall and tall, holding Mo knives, like the god of war.
Behind these armor soldiers, there are black-armored generals who stand with their swords, and with the bearing of looking at the world, they are looking at all directions, as if they are patrolling the territory. It was Li Cunxiao.
"Formation, defense!" Shangguan Chengcheng did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered the whole army.
Although Li Cunxiao's battle array was only a few hundred people, it was as powerful as a thousand troops.
Shangguan Chengcheng knew that it was not an illusion, but the power of the other party's battle array, which was indeed as thick as a mountain. Once it erupts and rushes out, there will be a flood that bursts the levees, enough to sweep away all the soldiers everywhere it goes.
Li Cunxiao glanced in the direction of Shangguan Allure. With the cultivation of his generals, he can naturally perceive the location of Shangguan Allure. Cultivating to his realm, there should exist on the battlefield, and everything is as bright as the stars, and he can "see" and distinguish clearly.
He didn't pay attention to Guan Chengcheng.
At this time, most of the soldiers of the Hedong Army around the city tower looked at him. He has released the Soldier Warrior Domain, and all the soldiers within the realm will be touched, notice his existence, and respond to his call.
At the same time, the elite troops he brought with him were also rushing up the city wall from the corridor, rushing to the left and right of the city tower.
But they did not immediately enter the battle, because the soldiers in front of them were still retreating.
However, because the Pinglu army had already switched from offensive to defensive, they quickly joined up with their new comrades and stabilized their positions.
In the field of Li Cunxiao's generals, they turned around again and regrouped their formation.
The soldiers on the left and right basically stabilized their footing, restored the order of the battle array, and the city already had thousands of complete combat strength.
The battle array formed by these thousands of people was shining brightly, and every soldier was like a burning flame.
Li Cunxiao pulled out a horizontal knife and led forward: "Kill!"
Thousands of soldiers of the Hedong Army burst out with an earth-shattering roar: "Kill!"
Shangguan Chengcheng's face was solemn, she came to the front of the Pinglu army formation, launched the battle general's domain, and shouted in a low voice at the same time: "Mountain!"
"Mountain" is a domain ability possessed by the general, which can greatly improve the defense of the battle array.
At this time, Shangguan Allure launched the power of "mountains", and saw a green light up in the battle array, shaped like a mountain, and wrapped the soldiers in the battle array.
Li Cunxiao led people to rush to the officers and soldiers of the Pinglu Army, and suddenly burst out: "Dump the tide!
"Pouring tide" is also a domain ability of the generals, which has been used by Shangguan Allure before to increase the offensive intensity of the battle array.
The width of the walls was limited, and the number of soldiers facing the face was small, but there was not more than one place of battle. Taiyuan City, as an important town in the east of the river, whether it is an urn city or a square city, there is a city head passage.
As soon as the battle array touched, the gap suddenly appeared, and with a bang, the light of the battle formation of the Pinglu Army was immediately covered with cobweb-like cracks.
The Hedong Army relied on the strength of the battle array, like a wild bull rushing into the sheepfold, running all the way, and the soldiers of the Pinglu Army were directly knocked into the air and flew up to both sides, and the light shield of the battle array in these places was shattered inch by inch like a mirror.
The general "pouring tide" fought against the general "mountain", and there was no suspense about the victory or defeat.
After twenty or thirty paces, the Hedong Army's charge finally slowed down, and the Pinglu Army suffered hundreds of casualties in just one moment. And that's not even counting the damage to the light shield of the battle array, the dark injuries suffered by the monks, and the pressure on the soldiers.
In this situation, Li Cunxiao personally went into battle, charging forward, God blocked and killed God and Buddha and killed Buddha, and there was no enemy under him. In the battle formation of the Pinglu Army, even if several Qi Cultivation Cultivators joined forces, they could not stop Li Cunxiao's sword.
"Get out of the way, I'll come!" Shangguan Chengcheng rushed out with a knife, gritting his teeth to meet Li Cunxiao.
The power of the "mountain" of the battle formation was broken, and as the main general of the battle array, she was the most seriously injured, but at this moment she still rushed out.
No one in the battle formation is Li Cunxiao's enemy, even if she knows that she is invincible, she must meet it, otherwise she will watch her comrades being chopped and chopped vegetables, which is not something that a master can endure.
"Shangguan Allure, if you don't retreat, you will die today!" Li Cunxiao took the army formation and slashed with a sword, this knife has the power of a battle array, and the power is incomparable, even a war elephant can easily cut it in half.
Shangguan Allure raised his sword to meet him: "Hugh is arrogant!"
The swords and soldiers intersected, Shangguan Allured City's blood and qi surged, and the battle array behind her flashed, as if there was an unstable trend, but she stubbornly did not retreat.
Li Cunxiao's eyes flashed with a bright color, and he praised sincerely: "I can actually receive a blow head-on, with the talent of a general, it will definitely have a bright future in time, it's a pity!"
He has the surprise and excitement of meeting his opponents, and if it is a normal time, he has to make friends. However, above the battle array, each is its own master, and there is only a struggle for life and death. He could only regret it.
Shangguan Allure did not dodge or dodge, wielding a knife in battle, the two fought a few times, and the comrades next to him were also fighting each other. In just a few breaths, a corpse fell beside the two of them, and the two of them also divided the winner.
Shangguan Allure was a big level lower, and after being injured by the other party, his hands and feet were out of strength, and he couldn't keep up with the other party's moves.
Seeing that the long knife was slashing down and was about to fall on his forehead, Shangguan Chengcheng looked resolutely, raised his head and stared, fearless.
