In the Battle of Shangcai, Qiu Shenji led his army to retreat and eventually ended with a great victory in the Langya King. However, Li Chong was not satisfied. After a simple rest and supplemented some reinforcements, he immediately led his army to march straight in, conquering five county towns in four days, and the speed of advance was very fast.

Then the powerful Langya King Army targeted Chenliu, and his strategic intention was very obvious. After capturing Chenliu, he took a boat west at Guandu, avoiding the impregnable Hulao Pass, landed from Mengjin Port, and reached the city of Shendu.

When it was feasible to Fengqiu, Li Chong, who was blinded by victory, insisted on eating Fengqiu's defenders regardless of the dissuasion of his advisers. However, unexpectedly, the plan of Zhang Guangfu and Zuobaotao Guard General Qu Chongyu was surrounded by heavy troops and fell into a dilemma.

According to Zhang Guangfu's idea, the fight between trapped beasts is just a breath of survival. As long as the hole is sealed and the momentum of breaking through is suppressed, it will take less than three or five days. Once the morale of the army is disintegrated, the rebels will collapse immediately.

But Li Chong's resistance was indeed fierce. He attacked for more than ten days in a row, but he did not capture Fengqiu. The front and central troops were exhausted and had no ability to continue attacking, so in desperation, he could only transfer the rear troops ordered to stop.

"Your Highness, you can't defend it anymore. They have added more troops. The commander of the prince-in-law Xue Shao!"

"Your Highness, since you can't hold on, then before it gets dark, the last one will pretend to break through. You will take the opportunity to escape with your personal soldiers, meet with the old prince, and make a comeback."

Regarding the words of the two deputy generals, Li Chong, who was holding the female wall and overlooking the battlefield, shook his head firmly. It was because of his disobedience that several generals around him knelt down and asked Li Chong to put the overall situation of the country first and protect himself.

"Can't defend it? If you can't defend it, you won't defend it! Go and gather all your personal soldiers at the East Gate. I personally took them and killed the generals and defeated Xue Shao. I will see what kind of attack Zhang Guangfu takes!"

"You two will immediately take people to the treasury, pour tinder oil and pile coke. If I die, immediately raise the fire to burn the warehouse."

Li Chong is not arrogant. He has few troops in his hands now. If he breaks through, he can only be chased like a rabbit, and he will be eaten sooner or later. This is definitely a loss-making business.

Therefore, the best way to protect the army at present is to stick to the support. He has exhausted the spirit of the front and central army of the court. If the rear army is also destroyed, the situation will be reversed as soon as the father's army arrives.

This army is not easy to pull up, and it is also the recovery of local morality. The last hope of the Tang Dynasty Chongguang is that he must fight for his life. At that time, I will be the first hero of the Li family. Look at Li Xian, who is the useless person, and what face does he have to sit on the throne?

Taking off his helmet and taking off his armor, Li Chong's shirtless upper body, holding a knife in his left hand and a shield in his right hand, standing in front of the military formation, and glanced at his personal soldiers who were already decisive.

He said in a solemn voice: "Next year is our anniversary. We have died countless brothers before us. After us, there will be brothers who will die in battle, but it is our turn today."

"Brothers, remember two words in my mind: Counterattack. I will join you in killing him in the dark and dark world, and fight to the death!"

As soon as Li Chong finished speaking, more than a thousand soldiers raised their weapons and shouted loudly: Fight, fight, roaring, roaring, and it seems like a sad soldier who is burning his boats.

"Kill and kill! Brothers, follow me!" After opening the city gate, Li Chong took the lead, led his soldiers to drill through the military formation, blocked the east and west, and took Xue Shao's troops directly.

Flying sand and stones, roaring wildly. The Dongmen battlefield immediately turned into a Shura hell because of Li Chong's joining, with blood flowing into a river, and broken arms and limbs were everywhere. Even Zhang Guangfu and others who were watching the formation from a distance were choking for the strong bloody smell.

Regarding the defeat of Shangcai not long ago, Zhang Guangfu always believed that it was caused by Qiu Shenji's incompetence, but after this battle, he understood that Qiu Shenji's defeat was not unfair, but Li Chong had unique features in leading troops, and he got the true teachings of his father Shangwu.

"According to this trend, Xue Shao will definitely be defeated! Duke Deng, why don't you send the flying cavalry guards to fight?"

"Zhang Xiang, it's also difficult for me! Before sending the army, the empress dowager specially reminded me to give the prince-consort a chance to make meritorious contributions. What do you think I can do!"

Cen Changqian's words were true and not fake at all. The Empress Dowager did summon him alone before sending troops and ordered him to give Xue Shao as much as possible and cultivate him more, just like Black-Tooth Changzhi cultivated Qin Rui back then.

And this introduction is precisely because Princess Taiping and women have a desire to compete, and Taiping is no exception. She naturally hopes that her husband can also become a man of upright status.

"Duke Deng, you are also a Confucian general who has been famous for a long time. Don't you know that the king's orders will be unbearable? If you can't beat him down, you and I will not be able to explain to the court!"

"You can't say that. The Empress Dowager is also a kind mother. She feels sorry for Princess Taiping, so she naturally has to support her son-in-law more. How can we ministers not understand?"

"Oh, forget it, it's getting late. The soldiers have been fighting hard for a day, and the water and rice are not stained. It's time to rest." After speaking, Cen Changqian waved his hand, and immediately a messenger from below drove away.

A moment later, a rapid sound of horns sounded from the Tang army's camp, and the village gate opened, and more than a hundred cavalrymen rushed to the anxious battlefield under the leadership of Qin Rui.

Seeing that there were only more than a hundred cavalry, Zhang Guangfu raised his eyebrows and asked loudly: "Duke Deng, more than a hundred cavalry? What do you mean? Are you perfunctory to me?"

After two or three breaths, Cen Changqian gave him a blank look and replied in a deep voice: "Zhang Xiang, the sad soldiers will win, and you will burn your boats. You won't know these two words!"

The rabbit is anxious and bites people, let alone the army. Just think about Xiang Yu’s battle in Julu. Even if he wins like this, he will kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 of them. It’s not cost-effective.

You should know that the battle has not been completed, and there is also the army of King Yue behind him. If all the capital is lost, what should I do in the future?

If you extend your hand to the court to replenish your troops? Don’t joke, it’s not embarrassing enough money!

At that time, perhaps the one who was waiting for was not reinforcements, but the imperial edict that rebuked them for losing their troops and humiliating the country. As a result, they could only be sent to Dongshi and to take action to calm the hearts of the people of the world and to boost decadent morale.

So, why not let Qin Rui catch the people. During the battle of Yanmen Pass, this kid rode alone and intercepted the camp of hundreds of cavalry, which made the 80,000 Turkic army deterred. How brave was Li Chong's subordinates, could he compare to the Turkic people who were as good as wolves and tigers?
