Deshan was still hesitating, but the Long family troops from Jade Buddha Pass had already poured out from the west city gate, shouting and coming to kill him.
"King Wu has arrived, kill the thief!"
The Long family army shouted to kill.
Hearing the shouts, Deshan's heart skipped a beat.
The worst plan may have come true, Long Chen really arrived and raided Zhenguo Temple.
Deshan did not dare to stay and immediately ordered a retreat.
"Withdraw! All withdraw to Zhenguo Temple!"
Ma Xing, the commander of Tie Yaozi, was a little unwilling and said: "We are about to capture the small town. It is better to abandon the Zhenguo Temple and capture the small town first."
Juekong cursed: "Are you crazy? If Zhenguo Temple is lost, we will be stuck in the middle."
Ma Xing was just angry for a moment, not because he didn't understand the truth.
Deshan said: "Even if Long Chengen really raided Zhenguo Temple, he must not have many soldiers and horses. Zhenguo Temple must be fighting fiercely at this time."
"We returned our troops and surrounded Zhenguo Temple with 200,000 soldiers and horses. Even if Long Chengen had wings, he would be unable to fly."
"It is better to kill Long Chengen than to capture two small cities!"
Deshan immediately thought of another plan.
The small town is no longer needed. As long as Long Chen who raids Zhenguo Temple is surrounded and killed, all problems will be solved.
Killing Long Chen was a great achievement.
Juekong, the supervisor, agreed and said: "The abbot has a good plan. The Zhenguo Temple is impregnable. If Long Cheng'en wants to break it, it won't be that easy."
"If we return our troops at this time, we will definitely be able to surround and capture Long Chengen."
Juekong thought that Long Chen was attacking from the bottom of the mountain up the mountain. Such an attack would definitely result in huge losses and would not be successful for a while.
As long as they return to Bingzhenguo Temple, Long Chen will be the turtle in the urn.
Commander Tie Yaozi was overjoyed and said: "If we can kill Long Cheng'en, it will be much better than these two small cities."
Compared to capturing two small cities, Long Chen's life is worth more than anything else.
If he can kill Long Chen, Ma Xing is confident that he can become a hussar general and command all the cavalry in Xixia.
Thinking of this, Ma Xing got excited and said: "Return the troops immediately!"
Deshan ordered the front team to change to the rear team, and the rear team to the front team, and immediately return to Zhenguo Temple to aid.
More than 200,000 soldiers and horses immediately retreated.
It was still dark at this time, and because of the sudden incident, the military camp became chaotic.
Everyone didn't know what was going on. They only heard the sound of the Long family's army coming out of the barrier.
"What's going on?"
"The abbot ordered the withdrawal of troops."
"Withdraw the troops? Why the sudden withdrawal? Aren't we going to break the city tomorrow?"
"I heard that Long Cheng'en came to kill him, and Zhenguo Temple was attacked again."
"Zhenguo Temple was attacked by Long Chengen again? It's over, we are homeless."
"It was like this last time, and it will be like this again."
The soldiers panicked, picked up their weapons, and retreated. The team was completely in disarray.
If the soldiers cannot find the general, they will not find the soldiers.
Deshan was so anxious that he led his generals at the front and galloped wildly, without caring about the soldiers behind him.
Wu Jian led his troops and rushed out of Jade Buddha Pass. The soldiers in front cleared the obstacles set up by Deshan, and the cavalry and horse archers in the back pursued and killed the enemy.
I thought there would be a fierce battle, but I didn't expect that Deshan led his army to retreat shortly after they rushed out.
Wu Jian immediately stopped: "Stop, be careful of an ambush!"
Although Long Chen succeeded in his sneak attack on Zhenguo Temple, Deshan suddenly retreated completely. This was too abnormal.
Wu Jian is worried that virtue and kindness can be deceitful.
However, everyone held back their bad breath and heard that Long Chen had arrived. They didn't even listen to Wu Jian's orders and rushed forward with weapons in hand to kill him.
Even Han Ziping and Tang Heizi ignored Wu Jian and rushed forward.
In the chaos, the Xixia monk soldiers were killed and screamed again and again, and it became a complete pursuit.
When Wu Jian saw this, he knew that it was useless to stop him, so he simply followed him to pursue him.
In two small towns, soldiers who had been fighting for a day were taking a nap around the campfire, holding their weapons in their arms, ready to fight at any time.
Sneak attacks at night were common, and no one dared to lie down and sleep.
The general guarding the city, Cao Fangqi, was sleeping on the city wall. He vaguely heard the neighing of war horses and the cry of killing.
Cao Fangqi immediately got up and shouted: "The enemy is attacking! Fight!"
With a shout, everyone got up, picked up their weapons and pointed them outside the city.
But they did not see the Xixia army attacking the city. They only saw the Long family army at Yufo Pass rushing out of the pass and pursuing the Xixia enemy with all their strength.
"General, what's going on?"
The deputy general Han Shuang next to him said in surprise.
Cao Fangqi immediately made a judgment and said: "General Wu successfully attacked the enemy at night!"
Lieutenant General Han Shuang asked: "Then let's..."
Han Shuang wanted to go out to help in the pursuit, but guard Cao Fangqi shook his head and said: "No, we can't move. If the virtuous old bald donkey fakes defeat, we will fall into the trap."
"Everyone, listen, guard the city gate and don't move rashly!"
Han Shuang immediately ordered everyone not to go out to fight in the city and to guard the city gates.
Cao Fangqi watched from the city as Wu Jian led the army to pursue him in the dim night. The Xixia army abandoned their helmets and armor and was in chaos.
"General Cao, they don't look like they are pretending..."
Han Shuang watched for a while, feeling itchy in his heart, and wanted to go out to help fight.
The fight during the day was so frustrating that he wanted to fight for revenge.
Cao Fangqi insisted on his idea and said: "If General Wu succeeds, our going out to help is just the icing on the cake and insignificant."
"If virtue turns to deceit, our two cities cannot be defended and we are not allowed to go to war until daybreak!"
Wu Jian's attack went very smoothly, and Cao Fangqi's attack was just a few more people, which would not be of much help to the entire battle situation.
If Wu Jian went out to fight in the city, he encountered stubborn resistance from the Xixia army, and the fighting between the two sides was very fierce.
Then Cao Fangqi would definitely choose to leave the city immediately to help in the battle.
This situation now seems unnecessary.
He must prevent another possibility: But if virtue turns to deceit and the town cannot be defended, the loss will be great.
Facing the uncertain situation, Cao Fangqi sought stability and chose not to fight.
Under the city, Wu Jian carried a nine-ringed sword and pursued him under the moonlight.
The blue armor of the Long Family Army is very conspicuous, and the Iron Kites and Monk Soldiers are obviously different.
The iron kite's armor is khaki leather, and the monk wears bright yellow robes, especially his bald head, which is very eye-catching.
When everyone saw a bald man, they killed him, and there were corpses all along the way.
Deshan ran in front, Wu Jian chased behind.
Han Ziping rode over and shouted: "General, how far do we have to chase?"
Wu Jian said: "Pursue forward and meet with King Wu!"
After receiving the general's order, Han Ziping was overjoyed and rode his horse to the west in pursuit. All the arrows on his body were shot, so he could only kill him with a spear.
At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and Deshan led Juekong, Guangxiang, Ma Xing and other generals, monks, and officers to the west.
Deshan was worried about Long Chen. As long as Long Chen was besieged, Zhenguo Temple had 50,000 soldiers and horses, plus 200,000 in his own hands, which would be enough to kill Long Chen.
As for Wu Jian's pursuers, Deshan was not worried.
As long as they reach Zhenguo Temple, they can fight back.
Rumble...
The iron hooves of thousands of troops and horses rumbled, and the Long family army was chasing behind them, but the generals in front didn't care at all.
It's okay if some soldiers die, but people always die in war.
As long as Long Chen can be killed, any loss is acceptable.
"Abbott, there is someone in front!"
Ma Xing's eyes were sharp and he saw someone rushing towards him from ahead.
Deshan pulled out the sword on his horse, lowered his body slightly, and prepared to fight with the intruder.
"Is it Fuhui?"
Juekong of the Prison Court used the faint morning light to see clearly that the person coming was none other than Fu Hui, the head of the Wu Monk Court.
"Fu Hui? How could he..."
Guangxiang understood halfway through that Zhenguo Temple was lost and Fuhui fled.
