Monk Deshan had no choice but to turn around and receive the palm.
boom!
Deshan felt that the coldness in his body was accumulating, and his hands and feet were not as flexible as before.
After Long Chen struck out a palm, he simply abandoned his sword and started fighting with his bare hands. When two palms fell in succession, Deshan turned around and flew up, over the heads of the monks, and fled westward in large strides.
"Ran?"
Emperor Lingyi did not expect that Deshan, as the commander-in-chief, would abandon his army and run away.
The besieging monks did not expect Deshan to escape, and the prisoner Fuhai was also dumbfounded.
"Abbott. Ran away?"
Emperor Lingyi knew that he could not catch up, so he vented his anger on the besieging monks, turned around and killed a large number of the monk soldiers.
Long Chen set his sights on Fuhai, the supervisor, and flew to his side to capture him!
"Deshan ran away and refused to surrender!"
Fuhai begged: "I surrender, please spare my life."
Long Chen lifted Fu Hai and shouted: "Surrender and avoid death!"
Most of the monk soldiers were unwilling to surrender, so they turned around and ran out of the Chiyan Temple.
The battle was still going on at the foot of the mountain. Long Chen escorted Fuhai to the front of the formation and shouted: "Deshan ran away, and you still won't surrender!"
Emperor Lingyi put the knife on Fu Hai's neck and cursed: "If you don't speak yet, I'm waiting to cut out your tongue!"
Fuhai shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "The abbot has run away, you surrender."
Chiyan Temple was burned, Fuhai was captured, the general fled, and the Xixia army began to collapse and fled westward.
At the foot of the mountain, Wu Jian led the army to attack the mountain. The attack was very difficult at first, and the two sides fought fiercely.
With every step forward, a brother fell down.
After killing for a while, the Xixia army's rear began to turmoil, and then another Xixia army fled.
"My lord has succeeded!"
Wu Jian was so happy that he let go of his arms and legs and charged with all his strength. The Xixia army was defeated and fled westward.
In half a day, Chiyan Temple was breached. Zhang Qian and Dugu Jiali led the lancers and horse archers to pursue them for more than ten miles before returning.
"Dazhu Kingdom, princess, we have achieved great success in this battle. Total victory!"
"Thanks to Dazhu Kingdom's ingenious plan, I sneaked into the Red Rock Temple."
"It's a pity that old bald donkey Deshan ran away."
The battle was won and all the soldiers were very happy.
"I also made a spur-of-the-moment decision and wanted to attack head-on."
During the march, he saw two Xixia Houqi. Long Chen captured them and disguised themselves as Houqi with Di Lingyi.
This is a dangerous move. If it is discovered, Long Chen and the two will face a situation of being besieged by tens of thousands of people.
Fortunately, he finally sneaked into the Chiyan Temple, entangled Deshan, and finally forced Deshan to escape, and Xixia's command system collapsed.
"Let everyone take a rest. After two hours, we will attack westward and occupy the vicinity of Zhenguo Temple."
"Sir, Zhenguo Temple has been burned by us, what's the use of occupying it?"
Major General Leng Yu didn't understand.
Zhenguo Temple used to be a place where Xixia stored supplies, and it was useful to occupy it. Now that the ruins have been burned, it is meaningless to occupy it.
"Zhenguo Temple is very important. It is located next to the road and can control the eastward passage of Xixia."
"Besides, what we burned were temples and camps. Their fortifications are still there. We can use them as a military stronghold with a little repair."
Deshan built many fortresses at Zhenguo Temple, but unfortunately there was no one to defend them at the time, and Long Chen took advantage of them.
"Okay, take a rest and set off immediately."
The emperor ordered the soldiers to rest as soon as possible.
Two hundred miles east of Xingqing City, Tuzhi was advancing with 200,000 barbarian cavalry.
After receiving Long Chen's letter, Tu Zhi immediately gathered his troops and entered the hinterland of Xixia from Yuncheng.
Along the way, the barbarians broke into cities, destroyed military strongholds, burned, killed and looted.
"Chanyu, I have gained a lot from this trip."
A strong tribal leader laughed.
He invaded the hinterland of Xixia for the first time, and it was very enjoyable.
Tu Zhi was not so optimistic. Long Chen made it very clear in his letter that if Shi Le's army was discovered, it would immediately retreat back to the grassland.
In the great battle in the spring, the barbarian elites were almost finished. They only relied on their numbers, and Xixia's defense was poor.
If there was a head-on battle with Shile, Tuzhi would definitely not be able to defeat him.
"Is there any news about Qi Qi?"
Tu Zhi turned around and asked.
"Not yet, I should be back soon."
Before the leader could finish speaking, Hou Qi came back.
"Chanyu, the general of Xixia has returned to support."
Tuzhi made an immediate decision: "Retreat, go north, and go back through Yuncheng."
The leader felt a little unsatisfied and said: "Chanyu, Xingqing City is right in front of you. There are countless gold and silver treasures there."
Tu Zhi shook his head and said: "Shile's army of more than 200,000 people is not a vegetarian. We will not confront them head-on and retreat!"
The barbarian army of 200,000 men turned their horses and retreated north.
Southeast side.
Shi Le and Kong Ji led the army to attack all night, and everyone was exhausted.
Kong Ji followed Shi Le, but he was always worried about the war in the direction of Jade Buddha Pass.
I hope Deshan can hold on until the army comes back for reinforcements.
Monk Kongji sighed secretly in his heart.
Shi Haoran and Lu Qichang were drowsy on horseback. Monk Kongji reminded them in a low voice, and they cheered up and continued moving forward.
The waiting horse rushed back and reported: "Your Majesty, the barbarian army has retreated northward."
When Shi Le heard this, he felt relieved and said, "Are you sure?"
Hou Qi replied: "I'm sure, we have already traveled more than a hundred miles north by now."
Shi Le stopped and his attendant handed him a water bag.
Shi Le took a sip, After giving War Horse another sip, he was also very tired.
After being led by Long Chen for several days, with almost no rest, my body has reached its limit.
"Rest where you are!"
Shi Le dismounted, and the guards set up a tent. Kong Ji, Shi Haoran, and Lu Qichang's group entered the tent to discuss.
"It turns out that the barbarian attack was just a false shot."
Shi Haoran felt like he had been tricked again.
Lu Qichang said: "No, if we don't return reinforcements, the barbarians will really invade the royal city."
"We have returned. The barbarians retreated when they saw that the situation was not going well."
Shi Le nodded and said: "Yes, Long Chengen has created a dilemma. If we return to aid, we will give up the Jade Buddha Pass. If we do not return, we will give up the royal city."
Monk Kongji said: "Your Majesty, the crisis in the royal city has been resolved. The poor monk requested to return to the Jade Buddha Pass. Long Chengen will definitely launch an attack while the poor monk is away. I am afraid that my junior brother will not be able to defend it."
Shi Le waved his hand and said, "See if they can still run?"
The men and horses were already exhausted. Even if they knew that Long Chen was going to attack, they could only wait until they had rested before leaving.
Monk Kongji had no choice but to sigh: "I'm afraid. I'm afraid Long Cheng'en has already succeeded."
Everyone was silent.
The army rested on the spot for a day. After their physical strength recovered, Shi Le and Kong Ji reorganized the army and headed towards Jade Buddha Pass.
The general was fine, but the soldiers below were tortured to death, and they were all cursing Kong Jie for being incompetent.
The cavalry can ride horses, but the infantry without horses feels like their legs are going to be broken.
"Following the bald donkey everywhere, my feet are all worn out."
"I have changed into several pairs of straw sandals. My feet will become useless if I run any more."
"It's more like giving me a horse."
Monk Kongji knew that the sergeant had objections, but he had no choice but to rush to Jade Buddha Pass at full speed.
When he rushed to the west of Jade Buddha Pass, two hundred miles away, Kongji saw some scattered cavalry. His heart skipped a beat and he lamented: "It's over!"
