Long Chen set up a camp in the northwest of Yangcheng, with the Rebel Army sitting in the middle, surrounded by Tang Heizi's 10,000 lancers.
Shi Le stood on the city wall and watched helplessly as Long Chen set up camps in three directions to besiege him. He knew that Long Chen wanted to besiege Yangcheng, but he was helpless.
He did not dare to go out of the city to fight, so he could only defend the city.
However, if Long Chen's camp is established, Yangcheng will be surrounded.
"Your Majesty, Long Chengen wants to trap Yangcheng to death."
The commander of the army, Li Chenglie, looked anxiously at the formation outside the city.
The antlers and tents abandoned by the Xixia army were picked up and reused by the Long family army, and roadblocks were specially set up next to the city gate.
Lu Qichang looked at Shi Le and Kong Ji anxiously and said: "Your Majesty, we must not let Long Chengen set up a camp, otherwise we will be trapped to death."
Shi Le looked at the generals on his left and right and asked, "Who dares to fight?"
Looking over, all the soldiers bowed their heads and remained silent.
Shi Le felt deeply humiliated that not one of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers dared to challenge him.
"Has my king's Great Xia fallen to this point?"
Shi Le was extremely sad and angry.
All the generals around him were ashamed, but no one dared to fight.
It is better to be embarrassed than to lose their lives. They are not three-year-old children who will die just for the sake of face.
Monk Kongji suddenly said: "Your Majesty, this poor monk should go out for a walk!"
Everyone looked at Kong Ji. Shi Le hesitated and said: "National Master, don't be impulsive. Long Chengen may be using this to lure us into battle."
When he said this, the surrounding soldiers were very dissatisfied.
Just now Shi Le asked them to go out to fight, and now Kong Ji wants to go out to fight, but Shi Le is afraid that he will be in danger.
This double standard is too obvious. Is their life not life?
Monk Kongji said: "The poor monk wants to fight Long Chengen alone to see if his cultivation has improved over the past few days."
After practicing the Mad Lion Art, Kong Ji felt that he had improved by leaps and bounds. He was eager to give it a try and wanted to have a fight with Long Chen to test the results of his training.
Shi Le was worried and reluctant to let Kong Ji go to war.
There are only two masters here. If something goes wrong in Kongji, Shi Le will be unable to survive alone.
"Is the Imperial Master ready?"
Shi Le was still hesitant, but Kong Ji insisted: "The poor monk has thought about it."
Lu Qichang and Li Chenglie didn't say anything, they were a little jealous.
Although they were not martial arts practitioners, they were still jealous because Shi Le had taught Kong Ji the secret technique of the Xixia royal family, the Mad Lion Technique.
Now Shi Le cared about Kong Ji's life and death, but not theirs, and felt even more uncomfortable.
Shi Le looked at the gradually forming camp outside the city and said, "Okay, I, the king, will beat the drums to support the imperial army!"
Picking up the drumstick, Shi Le beat the war drum.
Dong dong dong...
War drums rumbled, Xixia soldiers on top of the city shouted, the east gate opened, and a man and a horse slowly left the city.
Hearing the sound of war drums, Long Chen immediately asked: "Is Shi Le going to war?"
A horse galloped over and reported: "To King Wu, the Xixia Imperial Master Kong Ji has left the city. I will challenge you to a duel by name."
Tang Heizi looked at Long Chen in surprise and said, "This bald donkey was unwilling to fight just now. Why is he running out again now?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Probably because he saw us besieging Yangcheng, he wanted to defeat me in a duel, and then Shi Le took advantage of his high morale to break the siege in one go."
Long Chen set up a siege outside the city. Once the siege was formed, it would be difficult for Yangcheng to break through.
However, if the city gate is opened now and the soldiers are allowed to fight with the Long family army, the Xixia army will have no fighting spirit and Shi Le will lose.
Therefore, if Kongji Dujiang can win and Shi Le fights out with all his strength, the siege will be over.
Tang Heizi sneered and said: "If you want to defeat the Lord, he must be an old bald donkey who hasn't woken up yet."
Long Chen got on his horse with a smile and said, "Let's see how Kong Ji has been practicing these days."
Monk Kongji relied on the blessing of the Crazy Lion Technique and his cultivation had reached a higher level. He wanted to try his hand with Long Chen again. How could Long Chen refuse?
Riding a horse, Long Chen arrived at the east gate.
Wu Jian was holding a nine-ring sword and confronting Kong Ji.
Wu Jian looked at Kong Ji coldly, but Kong Ji looked indifferent and did not take Wu Jian into consideration at all.
In Kong Ji's eyes, only Long Chen was his opponent, the others were nothing more than chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning.
"grown ups."
Seeing Long Chen coming, Wu Jian immediately rode out to greet him.
Long Chen came to the opposite side of Kong Ji and said with a slight smile: "National Master, you were unwilling to come out just now, but now you are willing?"
"Monks are so fast-paced? Are they too unsteady?"
Monk Kong Ji looked at Long Chen coldly, and said with a smile: "Long Chengen, the last time I fought with you, I suffered the loss of your large number of people."
"This time, we are one-on-one, and the poor monk will compete with you."
Long Chen was stunned for a moment, and Kong Ji said that he suffered the disadvantage of Long Chen having too many people last time?
What the hell is this?
At that time, it was clear that Monk Kongji had a large number of people and wanted to surround Long Chen with one against six. In the end, the situation reversed and Long Chen led his men to beat up Kongji.
"Tsk tsk, you are worthy of being the abbot of Zhaoti Temple. He speaks so shamelessly, I admire him!"
"Last time you colluded with Shi Le and six people besieged me. How come I ended up taking advantage of you?"
The surrounding soldiers booed, mocking Monk Kong Ji for being shameless.
Kong Ji's face didn't change, and he sneered: "It's useless to talk about what happened last time. This time we will be one-on-one and see the real deal."
Long Chen chuckled and said, "You should have said it earlier, why bother talking."
Wu Jian ordered the soldiers to disperse, leaving an open space for Long Chen and Kong Ji to fight.
Shi Le picked up the drumstick and beat it hard, and the rumbling war drums resounded throughout Yangcheng and beyond.
Wu Jian also picked up the war drum and started beating it, competing with Shi Le's drum beat.
Boom boom...
Long Chen held up the iron gun and said, "Kong Ji, are you comparing weapons, or are you comparing fists and feet?"
Monk Kongji stood the Jiuxi Zen staff on the ground, got off the horse and said, "Let's compete with each other with fists and kicks!"
Long Chen also got off his horse, his iron spear standing on the ground.
The two walked forward slowly and stopped three meters apart.
Kong Ji suddenly asked: "Long Chengen, you didn't bring a hidden weapon, did you?"
During the last battle at Zhenguo Temple, Long Chen was besieged. In desperation, he used a musket to penetrate Kong Ji's stomach.
Kong Ji still hasn’t figured out what happened at that time.
The unknown is the scariest thing, and Kong Ji is worried that Long Chen will do it again.
Long Chen was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said with a smile: "Oh, master, I almost forgot if I didn't remind you."
"How about I go back to get the concealed weapon and you wait?"
Monk Kongji had a dark look on his face when he heard this, and said angrily: "What kind of skill is it to hurt people with a hidden weapon!"
After saying that, he lowered his figure slightly and rushed towards Long Chen.
roar...
When Kong Ji approached, a lion's roar suddenly burst out from his mouth, causing the eardrums of the surrounding soldiers to hurt.
When Long Chen saw Kong Ji rushing towards him, he did not dodge, but pushed him forward with a palm.
Kong Ji used the Powerful Vajra Palm, and Long Chen used the Yin Wind Palm.
The two palms faced each other, and a gust of wind exploded, and the dust under his feet was blown into a circle and spread.
Long Chen stood firmly, but Kong Ji was shaken and slid two meters away, leaving two skid marks on the ground.
A head-on move tested the strength gap between the two people.
Long Chen suppressed Kong Ji.
Xixia soldiers were waving flags and shouting at the top of the city, some cheering and some watching.
When he saw Kong Ji being repelled by Long Chen, Shi Le stopped beating the drum with his hammer.
He was slightly disappointed.
I thought that Kong Ji was extremely talented and could defeat Long Chen, but I didn't expect that it wasn't enough.
"How high is Long Chengen's cultivation level?"
Shi Le whispered, holding the drumstick tightly in his hand.
Under the city, Monk Kongji was pushed back two meters by Long Chen. He was not worried but happy.
