As time passed, the siege of Liyang became more and more intense. But no matter how many people died or how much blood was shed, Yuwen Chengdu was angry and found that the other party was like a stubborn stone that always stood there. Maybe the tide can drown it for a while, but soon it will show its strength again.

What annoyed him even more was that the number of defectors in the forbidden army gradually increased. At first, it was a group of three or five, but later it developed into a whole team desertion. These people either went to Liyang Cang for food, or they were homesick and simply left the army and made a detour back to Guanzhong, and their morale was extremely low for a while.

Even the fighting spirit of the remaining forbidden army Xiaoguo is declining day by day, and they often do not contribute to their work, and no one is willing to rush to the front row to die stupidly. Especially those soldiers who secretly ran to the Wagang Army's position every day to look for food, and the arrows they shot were all crooked.

What's the solution? Eating people with short mouths and short hands is short, not to mention that there are godfathers, godmothers, fellow villagers, and cousins in Liyang Cang.

In order to boost morale and rectify military discipline, Yuwen Chengdu had to order the 3,000 cavalry under his account to send dozens of supervising and enforcing the law, and cut off more than 200 heads overnight, which slightly stopped the sluggish morale in the army.

This hand had an immediate effect, except for a few brave ones who would sneak under the Liyang warehouse to steal steamed buns to satisfy their hunger at night, no one dared to desert.

But problems followed, and even if the army's grain stocks were distributed at the rate of three or two meters per person per day, they quickly bottomed out. originally thought that they would be able to take Liyang Cang in less than three days, and they ate and drank a lot, but after ten days, the army still could not cross the thunder pool by half a step, but instead lost thousands of corpses.

The situation is deteriorating sharply, in the periphery Yu Wenhua and led more than 100,000 horses desperately resisting the siege of several times their own Wagang army, constantly retreating in the direction of Liyang City, the nearest battle line is less than 100 miles away, and the cavalry can march straight to the city in a night.

On the west side of the Wagang Army, Wang Shichong dispatched more than 100,000 elite soldiers and fierce generals to try to encircle Wei to rescue Zhao and deal with the troubled Yu Wenhua, but was stopped by a partial division led by Shan Xiongxin, and the advance was slow.

The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, Li Yuan in the pass took the opportunity to send troops, and the 50,000 male soldiers led by the second son of the Li family went east to Tongguan, attacking the city and plundering the land and fighting invincible, and the troops pointed directly at Luoyang City, and forced Wang Shichong to send men and horses from the eastern front to help, and the left and right sides were exhausted.

All the battle reports were summarized on Yuwen Chengdu's table like running prices, and he knew that he was like a gambler, maybe he was about to lose all his belongings, and there was no other way than to fight desperately.

From the early morning of the eleventh day, Yuwen Chengdu pressed all the bets, 20,000 troops took turns to launch a fierce attack on Liyang Cang day and night, and he personally led 3,000 horsemen to supervise the battle, and even beheaded eleven generals and lieutenants who were cowardly defeated and retreated, and finally succeeded in opening the south gate in the evening.

However, before he could be happy, the Sui army who entered the south gate was desperate to see that at some point, the Wagang army actually built an urn city in Liyang Cang, and the one in front of them was like a towering tower!

Yuwen Chengdu didn't want to think about it, and put all the troops in his hands that could be deployed to the south of Liyang Cang, even if he used human lives, he had to pile up a road!

After dark, the battle became more and more fierce, and the urn city was littered with the corpses of the two armies. The Sui army attacked the city several times, and was desperately repelled by the Wagang army, surrounding a section of the city wall of hundreds of zhang, and the two sides went back and forth to see the blood flowing.

However, until the middle of the moon, the Sui army still failed to pry open the urn city, and the military flag of the Wagang army on the city tower was full of holes in the wind in the blazing firelight, and was stained red with blood.

It's just that the Wagang army defending the city has also reached the end of the crossbow, and more than half of the defenders in the city have been killed and wounded, and all the women and children have also been gathered and assigned to the city tower to assist in the defense.

Finally, another wave of stormy attacks was repulsed, and the Sui army under the city slowly retreated, stepping on a bloody limb under its feet.

Cheng Yanjin stood on the tower of the urn city and snorted and panted, if it weren't for the Xuanhua Demon Axe in his hand, his body would have fallen down as soon as the wind blew.

From early morning to midnight, his Xuanhua Demon Axe was hungry and thirsty, and he didn't know how many Sui Jun's brains had been split, and as for the wounds on his body, he was too lazy to count.

He glared at the retreating Sui army, his body was extremely tired but he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, because Yuwen Chengdu would not give the Wagang army defending the city even a chance to breathe, and the next wave of more fierce offensive was about to begin.

"Quick, carry down the ones that can't move, and block the south gate with rolling logs and stones!"

As soon as his order was given, his old partner You Junda next to him smiled bitterly and said, "Fourth brother, the rolling wood and stones have long run out." ”

Cheng Biting Jin was furious, patted You Junda on the shoulder and said, "Then you won't send someone to demolish the house?!"

Unexpectedly, You Junda didn't react, and his body fell straight and backwards. A personal soldier hurriedly stretched out his hand to hug him and exclaimed, "General You has fainted!"

Cheng Yanjin was taken aback and shouted: "Quickly send it back to the General's Mansion to ask the immortal chief of Longhu Mountain to heal, if Lao You has three long and two short, Lao Tzu will not be able to spare you!"

There was chaos in the city, and it was strange that the thousands of Sui troops who were already lined up hundreds of zhang away did not immediately attack as they had done the previous time.

They stood silently in the blood-red moonlight, as if waiting for something.

How could Cheng Yanjin have the time to think about what those Sui troops were doing, standing still like wooden stakes? He seized the precious gap, strengthened his spirit, and dispatched troops to reinforce the broken city wall and rearrange the defensive line.

Suddenly, a personal soldier shouted behind him: "General, look, an old monk is here!"

Cheng bit the golden fire and said: "The monk who cares about your mother is a nun, and Lao Tzu has no time to entertain him!"

Before he could finish speaking, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly rushed to the battlements and opened his eyes to look out.

The moonlight sprinkled on the corpse-strewn neighborhood, thousands of Sui soldiers were silent, an old monk holding a cane, bare feet were slowly walking through the military formation, towards the south gate.

Cheng Yanjin gasped, turned around and shouted: "Quick, notify Brother Diao and the two immortal chiefs of Zhengyi, just say that the old monk is here, and I want the old god to return to his place!"

"General, I'm afraid it's unlucky to say that, right?" the soldier hesitated.

"Don't care if your mother's luck is unlucky!" Cheng Biting Jin kicked his own soldiers off the city tower, and scolded: "Fire your eyebrows, you are still fucking stupid to stand here and say auspicious to Lao Tzu?

The soldier rolled down the stairs and was suddenly caught by someone.

He punched out angrily and said: "Get out of the way, don't hinder Lao Tzu from going to the General's Mansion to report the news!"

The person who came came to clasp his fist and said with a slight smile: "Stand up!"

The soldiers suddenly felt that they had stood on the ground under their feet, and the figure flashed in front of them, that person had already gone to the city, not a real person, but who was it?

Before he came back to his senses, the air was whirring and moving, innocent real people, eldest grandson Wuji, Zhang Wuji, Princess Nanyang, Princess Jincheng, Diao Xiaosi, Xu Maogong...... All the bigwigs in Liyang Cang came to the wind and stood on the urn city.

Aren't you dreaming? The soldiers rubbed their eyes, a little confused about who the old monk from outside the city was, and he actually alarmed the two immortal chiefs of Zhengyi.

He slapped his head suddenly, remembered the task he was undertaking, and scolded in a low voice: "Huang Erchou, you fool, General Cheng is still waiting for you to report the news!"

"Fucking demon monk!" Cheng Cheng on the city tower bit the gold and grabbed the bow and arrow, aiming at the old monk under the city, "Lao Tzu doesn't believe in evil!"

"Whoosh-" The sharp arrow turned into a black ray and shot straight at the old monk, but it suddenly disappeared in mid-air and incredibly.

"Huh?" Cheng Yanjin was stunned, and suddenly heard the innocent real person shouting beside him: "Be careful!" The probe grabbed his silk silk and threw it back.

"Huh!" The disappearing sharp arrow suddenly appeared, and it was only a line away from hitting Cheng Yanjin's eyebrows.

The eldest grandson Wuji was quick with his eyes and hands, and he unfolded the folding fan to incite with all his might. The sound of "hum" is trembling, but it does not change its direction, like a maggot chasing Cheng Cheng biting gold.

Zhang Wuji slashed his sword down, and the "ding" slash hit the shaft of the arrow. The sharp arrow bounced off the fairy sword with a sharp shock, and sank slightly and shot towards Cheng Biting Jin's chest.

The Heavenly Sin True Man swung out a whisk of dust, wrapped around the sharp arrow and threw it out, and took half a step back with a muffled snort in his mouth.

The sharp arrow finally pierced the roof of the urn city diagonally, blasting open a large hole, and the rubble was scattered.

Everyone looked at each other in shock, but they didn't expect the power of the old monk's arrow to be terrifying, and the four righteous path masters attacked together, so they barely managed to save Cheng Jin.

Cheng Biting Jin was frightened, and smacked his tongue: "Damn, is he still human?!"

Princess Jincheng looked at the old monk, her face was like frost, and she said softly: "His injuries have healed. ”

Diao Xiaosi stood beside Princess Jincheng, and said with cold hair: "It's not that our army is too incompetent, it's that the monk is too powerful...... Why don't we run away!"

The innocent real man said hesitantly: "There are Sui troops in all directions, where are we fleeing?"

Diao Xiaosi really wants to tell this old man who has no brains, but he can actually resist the wind. But looking at everyone's solemn faces, I had to swallow this suggestion back into my stomach.

Under the castle tower, the old monk didn't seem to be affected by the arrow just now, and continued to move forward unhurriedly.

He obviously didn't walk fast, but he didn't know why he was less than a hundred steps away from the south gate in the blink of an eye.

"You stay in the city to answer, and I will go down with the innocent junior brother to answer!" The real person of the heavenly sin shook the dust and flew down from the city, and the innocent real person followed closely and fell in front of the old monk.

The old monk didn't seem to notice that someone was in the way in front of him, and still walked forward.

"K-" The bodies of the Heavenly Sin Real Man and the Innocent Real Man shook violently, and the fairy sword behind them ejected its sheath and hung above its head in response, radiating layers of dragon and tiger sword qi, surging towards the old monk like waves.

The Heavenly Sin True Man forcibly resisted the boundless Buddha intent that emanated from the old monk's body, which could not be seen with the naked eye, like a vast ocean, and said in a loud voice: "Jinding Divine Monk, don't come to harm?!"
