Li Xingxi's army covered the sky and blocked the sun.
Although Li Xingxi claimed to have an army of 200,000, there were still many places where troops needed to be stationed.
Especially in the southern region of Liaozhou, there were still several places where officers and soldiers resisted fiercely.
In the area under his control, some soldiers and horses were distributed in various places. In fact, the three armies of horse, foot and bow that fought together were only 100,000 people.
Although there are only one hundred thousand people, according to the rules, they call themselves the "three hundred thousand" army.
Cao Su did not refute the opponent. Although the opponent's numerical advantage could give the soldiers a slight psychological advantage, to this day, if you want to completely defeat an organized team, the best way is still
Defeat the opponent's chain of command.
What's more, the "three hundred thousand" army shouted loudly.
If Cao Su is defeated by then, Cao Su's military medal will be more glorious.
Therefore, Cao Su did not comment on the traitor's self-proclaimed "three hundred thousand" army, and just assumed that the enemy had so many people.
At this time, Li Xingxi stormed Dongping City for two days.
Dongping City is not a small city, but it is too remote and does not have high-level combat capabilities.
If Li Xingxi wants to attack this city, he can send strong generals to attack it today.
But he wanted to drop bait for fishing, so he kept surrounding instead of attacking, and instead used the most traditional method to kill Dongping City's fighting spirit.
Early this morning, Li Xingxi's army launched a new round of offensive.
The huge fireball was thrown by the trebuchet, trailing a long tail flame, and hit the buildings within the high walls of Dongping City.
Suddenly, a huge noise was heard, the building was set on fire, and thick black smoke came out.
In three days, a trebuchet was built on the spot and the city began to be attacked with remote equipment.
The soldiers on the city tower were even more worried. They were all worried and worried that they would not survive when the city was breached.
"Captain Li, I really can't stand it anymore!"
The generals who originally belonged to the Dongping City government army lost their mentality and shouted at Li Niu on the city tower.
These government troops were not as elite as the Pingbei army, and the casualties on the city wall in the past two days were even more heavy.
The general of the government army also had a wound on his head and wrapped his head in white cloth. He was extremely sad and angry.
Li Niu can no longer suppress these meritorious people.
But he is also not good at words. In this situation, he doesn't know how to answer.
"Captain Li, please say something!"
The generals of the government army were even more confident and pushed forward half a step.
The guard beside Li Niu immediately drew out his blade and thrust forward.
"What, Captain Li wants to kill me? Then just kill me. It's better to die by Captain Li's sword than by that thief Li!" The general of the government army was not afraid at all.
, just straight up his chest and move forward to beg for death.
Several of the soldiers under him also moved forward to beg for death.
Li Niu quickly stopped the soldiers and scolded: "What nonsense, get back!"
After being scolded by Li Niu, several nervous soldiers put away their weapons and hid aside.
Li Niu was facing the wounded generals of the army, but he couldn't say anything else.
After a while, facing the scorching gazes of everyone, he gritted his teeth and said: "General Pingbei ordered us to defend the city for three days. It has only been two days now. We must not retreat!"
His tone was firm and his eyes were resolute. At the end of the sentence, he walked forward directly with his head raised and walked in front of the general of the army.
There was no dodge in his eyes, and he was full of the intention to die: "If you want to escape today, please step over my Li Niu's body first!"
Li Niu, a man from the northwest, was full of arrogance and wanted to die forcefully.
Seeing how determined Li Niu was, the other party's eyes finally calmed down: "Colonel Li, why are you doing this?"
"It's not that we don't believe you, it's just that General Pingbei hasn't even seen a single figure so far. When you said he had entered the city before, we were very excited and fought furiously for two days, but now...
..."
They were talking and talking, but they didn't know what to do.
At this time, another fireball with trailing flames flew from the distance.
With a bang, it hit the city wall and tower.
Suddenly, countless wooden boards shattered and fell from the sky. A large piece of the tower that had stood for a long time was missing. The fireball ignited the wooden windows on the tower, and soon straight black smoke rose up into the sky.
This battle is really difficult to fight. The opponent doesn't even have a decent mid-level general in the strength realm, but they can no longer hold on.
At this moment, Li Xingxi's army suddenly made a strange commotion.
The commotion came from the central area of the army. Logically speaking, this should be Li Xingxi's central army headquarters, which is the most stable and core part of Li Xingxi. How could there be a sudden movement?
"General, look!"
A centurion next to Li Niu suddenly looked into the distance in surprise.
In the distance, only the furthest bandit army could be seen. The rear army turned into the front army and began to evacuate to the east.
In Li Xingxi's military camp, the sound of golden gongs was also sounded.
"Ming Jin actually retreated his troops?"
The Pingbei Army and the Dongping City Army on the city wall were still arguing, but before the argument came to a conclusion, the other side actually retreated.
The sound of ringing gold became louder and louder, covering the entire battlefield.
Sergeant Li Xingxi, who had just rushed under the city wall, was also surprised.
While distracted, many people were shot by the soldiers on the city wall.
Although the defenders suffered heavy casualties in the past two days, there were more casualties among Li Xingxi's army. However, judging from the proportion of the army, Li Xingxi's army was not greatly affected.
Everyone's eyes passed over the battlefield, all the way east, and entered Li Xingxi's commanding tent.
At this time, the angry Li Xingxi kicked over the soldier who came to report the news.
He was holding the letter in his hand, like a wounded beast, his eyes were red.
"Cao Su! Cao Su!"
"How dare he? He is so arrogant. It is simply unreasonable!"
Li Xingxi was shocked by the news that Cao Su's cavalry suddenly appeared in the rear.
To make matters worse, Ying Fan sent word that the number of Cao Su's army was unknown. Three large cavalry teams had been discovered so far. The number of Cao Su's troops that sneaked into Liaozhou was estimated to be no less than 50,000.
Fifty thousand? The Pingbei Army has only 50,000 people in total, and the rest are all government troops.
Could it be that in this battle with Cao Su, he was immediately involved as soon as the contact started?
What kind of play is this? Straight to the point?
Li Xingxi crushed the letter and almost gritted his teeth and issued the order to retreat.
At this moment, Cao Su's army appeared near Jincheng. Although Li Xingxi in Jincheng was not worried, Jiu'an and Chidong were both important.
Jiu'an mainly has a superior geographical location. After passing Jiu'an, there are continuous mountains and forests.
Chidong was where Li Xingxi stored a large amount of grain and grass. After the army gathered in Jincheng, Li Xingxi used Chidong as his own granary.
Li Xingxi's face turned pale. If Cao Su touches him and goes to the east of the pond, the consequences will be unimaginable.
So he has to go back to defense, and he can only go back to defense.
"I'm careless. I know Cao Su likes to make surprise attacks, but I haven't made any targeted arrangements yet."
Li Xingxi was very upset. Although he didn't know why Cao Su appeared in the rear like a divine soldier descending from the sky, he knew that he should try to move the granary first. If Chidong's grain and grass had been moved to Jincheng in advance, he wouldn't be able to move it now.
As for being so passive.
The middle-aged scribe Weng Xiao shook his head: "Commander, now that we have discovered the main force of Cao's army, it is a good thing."
Weng Xiao stood in the counselor's field of view and saw different effects.
Although Cao Su launched a large-scale attack, the Pingbei Army led by Cao Su did not directly appear on the frontal battlefield. Since the opponent did not immediately seek the main force for a duel on the frontal battlefield, there is a high probability that the opponent will not have enough troops, at least on the frontal battlefield.
In the confrontation with Li Xingxi, he was at a disadvantage, otherwise he would not have followed such a "wrong way".
Li Xingxi heard this: "Oh? What do you think Mr. Weng said?"
"Just like we don't understand Cao Su, Cao Su doesn't understand us either."
"Since a large number of Cao Su's cavalry have appeared near Jincheng, we can solve it in two ways."
"The first is to let 'Tiantong' stay here and continue to lead a vanguard army to attack Dongping City. This time we must make a quick decision and strive to capture Dongping City today."
"The second is that the commander-in-chief personally led the Chinese army back to the defense. After crossing the Mojiang River, as long as we guard the ferry and divide our troops in several places to form an encirclement, it will be difficult for Cao Su to fly even if he has wings!"
Weng Xiao also made great achievements in military and political strategy. After he presented his good strategy, Li Xingxi was immediately overjoyed.
He held Weng Xiao's arm and said in a broad voice: "This plan of Mr. Weng is a great good one. Fortunately, Mr. Li has the help of Mr. Weng. It is like a tiger with wings!"
The stiff muscles on Weng Xiao's face were shriveled, and he smiled faintly after hearing this.
He is smiling but not smiling, and looks very charming.
With Weng Xiao's plan in mind, Li Xingxi was determined and immediately arranged for the army to return to defense.
So Li Xingxi's army, which had been attacking Dongping City for several days, withdrew some of its troops, and the rear army became the front army. The center army came to the rear and soon disappeared from the sight of the Dongping City soldiers.
The cheers on Dongping City suddenly stopped.
"What? Only part of the army has withdrawn? Does the remaining army still have morale?"
Li Niu and others on Dongping City were puzzled.
Not long after, the army left here by Li Xingxi sounded the sound of thick horns again.
Then the drums beat like thunder, and the remaining army rolled forward again.
"Here we go again! Be careful, everyone!"
Li Niu roared loudly, and a fireball hit him right in the face.
He immediately jumped out from the city wall and pulled out the halberd in his hand.
The halberd wields ten thousand kilograms of strength!
Suddenly, the incoming fireball was smashed away.
--------------------------
Half a day later, Li Xingxi led his army to Mojiang.
The Mojiang River stretches for thousands of miles. The surface of the river is frozen at the moment, but on the other side, it seems that you can still see the traces of the ferry that was burned by the fire.
"Commander, our ship!"
The generals under Li Xingxi were shocked. They saw that all the crossing boats originally left in Mojiang were burned and destroyed. At the ferry on the other side, a small group of cavalry was left to watch. After seeing the arrival of Li Xingxi's army,
This small group of cavalry immediately set off to the west.
"Want to run?"
Li Xingxi was furious, and now that he saw the enemy, he couldn't help it.
He flew out directly from the army using Qinggong.
Li Xingxi is a master of the second level of strength realm. He has few rivals in the world and is invincible in the barren and remote Liaozhou.
He stood on tiptoe, his figure was like a dragon, and he easily swept across the dozens of feet wide river surface.
When the cavalrymen on the opposite side saw the cheers from behind, their expressions changed greatly.
The leader immediately led the cavalry and galloped: "Run, Li Xingxi is coming!"
Li Xingxi's martial arts is very strong. The captain of this cavalry team only has the strength of three bursts of energy and blood. How can he block it? He can only rely on the strength of his horse's legs, hoping to get rid of Li Xingxi.
However, Li Xingxi was a second-level master, and he moved like lightning. After passing through the air for a while, he quickly approached the cavalry squad.
"Stay!"
Li Xingxi punched in the air.
His arm was shining with golden light, and he swung a fist casually. The mark of his fist was as big as a mountain, and it flew out and hit the fastest cavalryman in front of him.
Suddenly, the ground rolled over as if it had been bombed.
The huge shock wave caused the dozen or so war horses to scream and fall to the ground one after another.
Li Xingxi fell from the sky, stretched out his hand to grab, and caught the fastest running sergeant in his hand.
"Tell me, where is Cao Su?"
Li Xingxi grabbed the sergeant by the throat.
The sergeant's face turned red. In front of Li Xingxi, his strength was like the difference between an ant and an elephant. He was not even qualified to struggle.
"Um?"
Li Xingxi's face turned cold when he saw the sergeant's harsh words.
He kicked out casually.
A "puff" of internal energy hit a sergeant. The sergeant was lying on the ground. Unexpectedly, Li Xingxi would suddenly exert force on him, and his body exploded instantly, turning into a puff of water like a water balloon.
The blood mist actually dissipated directly into the air.
"If you don't say anything, you'll die!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Xingxi directly threatened and threatened his life.
At this time, Li Xingxi's strategist Weng Xiao also came from behind. As a great monk in the alchemy stage, Weng Xiao was very capable. He smiled sinisterly at the side and said: "Commander, I can search for souls."
How had a few ordinary cavalry sergeants ever seen such a formation?
Under this torture, Li Xingxi was forced to say, "The general is nearby."
nearby?
As soon as the man finished speaking, a thunder sound suddenly sounded in the sky.
Then, a tall black figure wearing black armor fell from the sky.
"Li Xingxi!!!"
Just like the divine thunder falling from the sky, the wonder of this thunder movement is simply astonishing.
Li Xingxi and Weng Xiao's expressions changed greatly. When they looked up, they saw a hundred-refined horizontal sword in Cao Su's hand. Thousands of thunderous lights were flowing on the surface of the horizontal sword, rushing towards Li Xingxi and Weng Xiao.
"Cao Su!!"
Li Xingxi was shocked. He had never expected that Cao Su would be waiting for him here.
At this time, Cao Su cut off his head with a single blow. Before he could get close, the terrifying air pressure suppressed the two of them and they could hardly lift their heads.
The weeds on the ground seemed to be bent down at this moment.
Li Xingxi waved his palm, pushed away Weng Xiao who was close at hand, stretched out his hand and threw out the sergeant in his hand.
The ordinary sergeant threw Cao Su's hidden human weapon into the air.
Cao Su, who fell from high in the sky, suddenly swayed.
He easily caught the flying sergeant and struck it with the same palm. The strength contained in the sergeant suddenly dissipated, and Cao Su threw him dozens of feet away and fell to the ground.
However, due to the obstruction of Li Xingxi's "hidden weapon of human flesh", Cao Su's carefully prepared offensive was slightly delayed.
Li Xingxi also immediately took out a long knife to deal with it. The long knife in his hand was completely black, with a sharp blade and a tiger-faced ghost head carved on the handle. When he raised it, a terrifying internal energy spread, forming a defensive line.
The sword curtain.
“Peng!!!”
Cao Su's long sword fell on the sword curtain.
Suddenly, countless thunder and lightning flew in random directions, quickly spreading in all directions from the ground where the two men were fighting.
The entire ground shook instantly due to the huge impact of the two people's fight.
All the gravel and soil on the ground spattered away.
Li Xingxi stepped firmly on the ground with both feet, and the ground instantly sunk downwards, forming a large circular pit.
