Taiyuan City.

After Li Cunxiao's defeat, the Pinglu army captured the eastern city, and then opened the city gate and poured into the streets and alleys of the city like a tide.

Li Cunxiao recognized Li Xian, but he didn't tie his hands and arrest him, and being able to give Li Xian a salute on the battle array was already the biggest way for him to express his admiration. After a salute, Li Cunxiao retreated into the city, still organizing the remnants to deploy in the streets and alleys, and started street battles with the Pinglu army.

"Capture Taiyuan City, capture Li Keyong alive, just today!" Pinglu Army Offensive was fierce, the generals shouted one after another to take the lead in the charge, the moment the city gate was opened, the morale of the three armies reached its peak, and tens of thousands of soldiers rushed into the city.

After going to Hedong for a long time, now is the time to finish the battle, and no one will not fight hard.

"Waste! It's all waste!" Looking at the soldiers of the Pinglu Army who came from the east city wall and the city gate, rushing more and more like sea water, Li Ke was furious on the tall building, his face was red and purple, and his forehead was bruised.

Seeing that the streets and alleys were seized little by little, and the Hedong army suffered countless casualties, and could only keep retreating, Li Ke waved his big sleeves and let out a terrible roar from his throat, "Go! Block them! Go all! If anyone dares to retreat, this king will destroy his three clans!"

The generals who were on standby in front of the high-rise building looked at each other when they heard this, and although their faces were different, they all had to take the order and leave.

Soon, only Li Ke's guards and heralds were left and right around the high-rise building, and although they did not seem lonely and weak, they seemed to have no momentum at all.

The southern city wall was the offensive position of the Zhaoyi army, and Kang Chengqian personally sat in the front and commanded the generals to launch a fierce attack. Half a day passed, the battle was fierce, the battle situation was stalemate, and seeing that there were several battle formations on his side, he had already gained a firm foothold in the city wall, and Kang Chengqian's face was happy.

At this moment, there was a tsunami-like cheer from the east city wall, followed by an earth-shaking shout of killing, Kang Chengqian suddenly realized something, and immediately jumped into the air and looked to the east. He was already a half-step True Realm cultivator, and it was not a problem to float in the air for a while.

At this glance, it was found that the Pinglu army was going forward and successively crossing the city head and rushing into the city, and there were few soldiers of the Hedong Army inside and outside the city wall as far as the eye could see.

Kang Chengqian's heart was shocked, "The Pinglu army captured the city so quickly and attacked the city? It seems that the general has exerted his strength again!"

Immediately, he thought of something, and couldn't help but change his face: "Oh no! The Pinglu army's offensive is so fierce that the Hedong army can't resist it, but I'm afraid that it won't be long before they will occupy most of the city." When the time comes, won't all the money, food, and materials in Taiyuan City fall into their hands, and how much will be left over for us?"

Under normal circumstances, after the army captures the city, it will usually plunder on a large scale, and the so-called royal division is no exception. The soldiers and horses of each town acted together, and after breaking the city, they could only plunder the property under their own control, and it was impossible to rush into the streets and alleys controlled by others.

This means that the more territory you capture during the battle, the more money you can loot after the battle!

If the Pinglu army captured most of the cities, then Zhaoyi and the other troops could only drink soup.

Thinking of this, Kang Chengqian couldn't sit still any longer, and the power of his whole body cultivation exploded, smashing directly into the crowd of Hedong troops at the head of the city like a comet, stirring up countless smoke and dust.

When the smoke and dust cleared, there was no longer a standing Hedong army around Kang Chengqian, he turned back to the Zhaoyi army and gave an order, and his voice was fierce: "Within three moments, you must break the city!

The generals of the Zhaoyi Army, seeing that Kang Chengqian had already gone into battle in person, were all ashamed, and one after another burst out into a roar, with red eyes and the soldiers of their headquarters, regardless of killing the Hedong Army in front of them.

A similar scene also appeared in the direction of the main attack of the Tianping Army and the Henghai Navy, and Xue Wei and Liu Jingsi had already gone into battle in person.

In a word, after the Pinglu army captured the eastern city wall and entered the city, it was announced that today's battle was the last battle of the official army against Taiyuan City.

This was Li Keyong's last moment in Taiyuan City.

Of course, he didn't want to admit it, and he couldn't accept it easily.

However, objective facts never shift with people's subjective will.

One general after another retreated in embarrassment and reported the battle situation to Li Keyong. Some of them were covered in blood, some were covered in hair, some were badly wounded, and some were trembling with terror.

"King Jun, Funing Fang is lost!"

"Report to the king of the county, the last general is incompetent and failed to defend Changle Fang!"

"Report to the county king, the Pinglu army has already killed Kangjufang, rushing over to this side!"

"The king of the county! the last general's troops have been killed in battle, six or seven out of ten......"

"Report! The southern city wall was captured by the Zhaoyi army, and they have entered the city!"

"The king of the county, the official army is marching towards this side!"

"The king of the county, the general trend has gone, Taiyuan City...... I can't hold it!"

"The king of the county, let's go! if you don't leave, it's too late!"

"The king of the county is leaving, I'll wait for the end!"

“......“

On the tall building, Li Ke stood solemnly with his long body, facing the generals who kept coming back, and in the face of the persuasion of the generals, he never said a word, just looked at the battlefield in front of him.

No one noticed that the joints of his hand were white, and his teeth were about to be crushed.

Hedong is his reliance on hegemony in the world, Taiyuan is his foothold, and if he loses Taiyuan City today, he basically loses Hedong. Even if he could flee north and retreat to other states and counties in Hedong, it would be basically impossible for him to counterattack back.

Taking advantage of the Huangchao Rebellion, he finally struggled to build a foundation, and after years of hard work, it is now about to be ruined, how can Li Keyong accept it?

"The Thirteenth Taibao is back!" someone suddenly shouted.

The generals separated, and Li Cunxiao, who was covered in blood, walked to the tall building with difficulty, slowly clenched his fists, paused for a moment, and said sadly: "The last general is incompetent, he failed to defend the city, and he is willing to die!"

The generals looked at Li Cunxiao with different expressions, some disdainful, some angry, some sympathetic, but none of them spoke.

On the tall building, Li Keyong, who had stood like a strong pine for a long time, had not moved, not long after Li Cunxiao's voice fell, suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out of the air, and his tall figure shook and fell from the attic.

Fortunately, Konoe was quick to catch him and didn't let him fall off the tall building.

"The King of the County!"

"The King of the County!"

The generals were immediately flustered and hurriedly took a few steps forward, but they did not dare to go upstairs at will.

With the support of the guards, Li Keyong, who did not have a little blood on his face, grabbed the railing with both hands, so he did not fall, he struggled to say a few words, spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell.

"Evacuate to Xinzhou!"

......

At sunset, the officers and troops converged at the official office of the Jiedu envoy in the east of the river.

Li Keyong, under the escort of the generals of Hedong, led the remnants to flee north, and after the layers of resistance of various armies, only a few thousand people on the other side successfully broke through.

Taiyuan City has more than 100,000 Hedong troops, after a day of fierce fighting, because of a large rout, the casualties reached three or four out of ten, and the rest were basically taken prisoner.

As a result, Li Keyong's rule over Taiyuan City came to an end.

Because Taiyuan is the center of Hedong, the capture of Taiyuan by the Pinglu army also means that it has begun to control Hedong.

From now on, Li Ye officially became the lord of Hedong, and Li Keyong was just the remnant of the "previous dynasty", the "outlaw thief".

That day and night, the official army took control of the whole city, and the Pinglu army occupied the treasury and began to count all kinds of armor, ordnance, materials, property, and copper coins.

On the east city wall, on the eaves of the city tower, there are two men sitting with stars on their heads and dancing lightly in their clothes, holding the wine jar and drinking.

"Originally, I thought that as long as I could capture Taiyuan City within three days, I would be able to do it without missing a beat. I didn't expect that in a one-day battle, Taiyuan City would be in my hands!" The old Taoist priest Chu Nanhuai changed from sitting to reclining, and his lazy posture was like an old woman basking in the sun.

He glanced at Li Xian: "If you want to say the old way, junior brother, it's a pity that your ability is hidden in the mountains and forests, and you should stay on the battlefield." After this battle, don't you have to go back to Dustpan Mountain?"

Li Xian smiled slightly: "If I don't go back, wouldn't it be boring for my senior brother to be alone?"

Chu Nanhuai took a big sip of wine, burped beautifully, patted the wine jar and smiled: "As long as there is wine, it is better than being a fairy, how can it be boring?"

Li Xian didn't hold the wine jar in his arms, but just carried a wine jug, and after drinking half a pot, he answered Chu Nanhuai's question: "There are so many sentient beings, there are as many people who don't meet people who have talents, just as there are people who steal high positions." It is enough for me to have a few opportunities to display this ability, so why should I be obsessed with solving everything? The world is too big, there are too many things in the world, and I, Li Xian, am just a seven-foot body, and I can't deal with it completely. ”

Chu Nanhuai bowed his head silently, didn't say much, and instead raised the wine jar to persuade wine. In fact, he also knows very well that Li Xian is destined to no longer be able to appear in front of the world openly.

After drinking the empty wine jar and throwing it away, Chu Nanhuai patted his ass and stood up, looking at the night sky with his hands on his sleeves: "Taiyuan City has been taken, Lao Dao only needs to go to the altar to prepare, and then he will only wait for the news of the secret realm." ”

Li Xian also stood up, and he was silent for a moment: "What is the situation in the secret realm now, and senior brother can't spy on one or two?"

Chu Nanhuai shook his head: "Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, how can mortals be able to snoop on? Don't say it's me, not even the Immortal Emperor." ”

Hearing Chu Nanhuai mention the Immortal Emperor in a casual tone, Li Xian suddenly asked, "What is the position of senior brother in the official residence of the Immortal Court?"

Chu Nanhuai laughed: "White Deer Cave Sect." ”

Li Xian saw that the other party did not mean to say it explicitly, and he did not force it.

After a while, Chu Nanhuai sighed: "I can't peep into the situation of the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, but I can know a little bit about the movements of the Immortal Court. If it is ...... within three days It should be said that it has been two days now, Li Ye's kid can't control the secret realm, and the people sent by the Immortal Court to make trouble should arrive. ”

Saying that, Chu Nanhuai glanced at Li Xian, "The seventy-two earth demons are all wiped out, the Immortal Emperor is furious, the people sent down this time have a very high cultivation strength." If you don't have the heavenly machine in your hands and can't get the blessing of heaven, whether it is you and me or Li Ye, you will only be turned into ashes. ”

Li Xian nodded in understanding, and seeing Chu Nanhuai's solemn expression, he showed a relaxed smile: "Even if Li Ye can't defeat Feihong Dashi, that's a matter of course." The worst outcome is that we and the others will die, so what's there to worry about?"

Chu Nanhuai snorted: "Not everyone is like you, you can take success or failure, life and death lightly. I ran down with all my heart and did so many things, but I didn't end up with a dead end. ”
