He knew exactly how capable Li Liangjin's army was. His four chiefs, Shi Hu and Hua Gu, fled upon hearing the news and had no intention of seizing Jinling City. The king of the Maitreya Sect was killed by the spirit who helped him.
Well, as for Mr. Chen, he was wounded and driven back outside the city.
How could they launch a night attack when they were completely defeated and their courage was gone?
Ancient storybooks, unofficial histories, and stories about how to fake defeat and then take advantage of the opportunity to attack at night are just words on paper. If you are really defeated, you will not have the ability to launch a night attack.
Hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed, the mountains and plains were filled with defeated troops, and they launched a night attack at night?
Even Sun Wu and Han Xin could not do this after they were resurrected.
If you want to fake a night attack, you can only divide your troops and use an auxiliary force to deliberately fake a defeat. The elite troops will lie dormant and take the opportunity to attack at night. Only in this way can the battle be fought.
However, when the cavalry charged into battle during the day, the enemy's defeat was real and not intentional.
"There must be monsters when things go wrong. I'm afraid today's war won't be that simple." Li Xiuyuan looked at the direction of the alarm bell on the city.
A ray of white light flew out and turned into a handsome dragon colt and landed in front of him.
He got on his horse and immediately headed towards the city wall.
Xing Shan followed closely behind, carrying a big bow and riding a strong horse.
Along the way, there were defenders in the city, and patrolling soldiers gathered one after another.
"Young Master, what happened? I heard that enemy troops attacked Jinling City at night." On the way, Han Meng dared to come with his own troops, and at the same time, several other commanders were also dispatching troops.
Li Xiuyuan said: "It's not clear yet. Follow me to the city wall and have a look. It's impossible for the rebels to attack Jinling City at night. During the day, hundreds of thousands of rebels were repelled when they attacked the city. I
No, there are still hundreds of thousands of rebels."
"Yes, young master." Han Meng responded, and then shouted back: "Follow me, follow me to the city wall to help defend the city."
Just when Li Xiuyuan led his men and horses to the city wall, he suddenly heard the cry of foxes nearby.
The cry was somewhat urgent and desolate, making people unable to help but look at it.
"Master Li, Master Li is here, the slave family is here." A woman's voice floated into Li Xiuyuan's ears.
This voice is very familiar.
"Is it the third sister?" Li Xiuyuan glanced at the dim corner.
Susu~!
Immediately, a red fox sprang out, and in the blink of an eye it came to his side. Then he jumped onto the dragon's horse and hugged Li Xiuyuan's arm.
"Third sister has also come to Jinling City? I haven't heard Qing'e mention it before, but now is not the time to reminisce with third sister. There is a war outside the city. I have to go to quell the chaos. Third sister should go back to the house to rest.
Otherwise, it would be bad if the war is chaotic and the third sister is injured." Li Xiuyuan said.
Third Sister Hu, who transformed into a red fox, said hurriedly: "Mr. Li, the slave family came in from outside the city. There are about 10,000 rebels outside the city and are coming to kill here."
"Only ten thousand people? Such a small number of people are not even qualified to climb the city wall." Li Xiuyuan frowned.
Third Sister Hu said: "Master Li, please don't underestimate these ten thousand people. These ten thousand people are not just people. They are all divine soldiers and generals from heaven who have descended to earth. Now they are possessed by those ten thousand mortals."
Among the bodies, the leader is Yang Biao, one of the ten marshals under Dongyue Shenjun, who is the god general who truly controls the ghosts and gods of the area."
"Dongyue sent ten thousand heavenly soldiers and generals to the earth?"
Li Xiuyuan's expression changed, and he suddenly smiled dumbly: "I've only heard of ghosts possessing the body, but I didn't expect gods to imitate ghosts. Do you want to drive 10,000 mortals to attack Jinling City and kill me? This Dongyue's skill is really great.
"Those who used to be so quiet didn't know that now they can dispatch so many ghosts and gods whenever there is any movement."
"But the more this happens, the less worried I am. If he doesn't make any move, I will still be afraid of him. If he makes a move, it means that he is afraid of me."
After saying that, he got off his horse and led everyone towards the city wall.
"It is not a trivial matter for heavenly soldiers and generals to descend to earth. Mr. Li, it is better to retreat temporarily. The possession of ghosts and gods cannot last forever. At most, they will return to heaven at dawn. Otherwise, if they have been down to earth for a long time, their divine body will be contaminated by the filth in the flesh."
Due to air pollution, these heavenly soldiers and generals will be trapped in the mortal body forever and fall into reincarnation again." Third Sister Hu hurriedly jumped off the dragon horse and landed on Li Xiuyuan's shoulders.
"Oh, do you only have one night? Then you can't retreat. Youdao will go all out in one go, and then it will weaken again, and then it will be exhausted. As long as I defeat the so-called 10,000 heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals for the first time, this battle will be
I won." Li Xiuyuan walked faster after saying that.
He wanted to know for a while what powerful abilities this heavenly soldier and general descended from the earth had.
No matter how hard Sister Hu tried to persuade her, Li Xiuyuan became anxious for a moment. She felt that Li Xiuyuan was a newborn calf and was not afraid of tigers. With the tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals coming down to earth, there was nothing in the world that they could not do.
It is not impossible to kill a saint in the world.
And there is indeed no need to fight these heavenly soldiers and generals just for a mere city.
Just wait for the daybreak and the replacement of yin and yang, and these heavenly soldiers and generals will leave, and then you can win without a fight.
Zuo Qianhu, who was on the city wall, was relieved when he saw Li Xiuyuan arriving with reinforcements so quickly, and then hurriedly greeted him: "I have seen the general in my humble position."
When he was about to salute, he suddenly saw the red fox on Li Xiuyuan's shoulder. He opened his eyes angrily and suddenly shouted: "Where is the mountain fox spirit from? How dare you bewitch the general? You should be killed."
After saying that, the steel knife in his hand stabbed Sister Hu directly.
Third Sister Hu screamed in fright and swung into Li Xiuyuan's armor.
Li Xiuyuan stretched out his hand and pushed away the steel knife. He said: "There is no need to make a fuss. The foxes raised at home are not wild spirits."
"I see, I have offended you because of my humble position. Please forgive me, General." Zuo Qianhu immediately knelt down and apologized.
"If you don't know, you are not guilty. Get up. What's the situation outside the city?" Li Xiuyuan said.
Zuo Qianhu stood up and pointed outside the city and said: "General, look, there are about 10,000 horses wearing black armor, holding swords, spears, axes and axes, already arrayed outside the city."
Li Xiuyuan looked outside the city, and sure enough, a group of elite soldiers in black clothes and black armor came from the direction of the rebel camp and formed a formation not far outside the city.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that these elite soldiers were composed of the rebels who were defeated in one blow.
Being possessed by ghosts and gods is indeed no small matter.
While Li Xiuyuan was sizing up the army outside, in front of the army, the god Yang Biao was also sizing up Li Xiuyuan on the city wall.
Even though it was covered in darkness, he could still clearly see the man on the city wall.
"Is that a saint in the world? He seems to be nothing more than that, just an ordinary person." Yang Biao looked indifferent and didn't think there was anything special about Li Xiuyuan.
He has been a god for more than a thousand years and has never seen a saint in the world, but there are only a few who can truly become a saint.
The reason why Li Xiuyuan was treated differently was simply because he had learned the art of killing immortals.
"Is this Li Xiuyuan on the city wall? Do you have the guts to go down to the city to gather together?" Yang Biao approached on horseback and shouted to the city wall.
"Who are you? I don't want to hang out with nameless rats." Li Xiuyuan said.
"I am Yang Biao, one of the ten marshals under the Divine Lord. You must have heard of my name." Yang Biao said lightly.
One of the top ten marshals under Dongyue?
Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said: "Xing Shan, come here, can your arrow kill the riding thief leader?"
"The distance is a bit far. Although the arrow can reach it, it may not hit." Xing Shan estimated the distance and said.
"I'll lure him closer, and you wait for the opportunity to shoot. It's best if you can kill him with one arrow. It doesn't matter if you miss," Li Xiuyuan said.
"Yes," Xing Shan responded, taking the big bow from his back and waiting for the opportunity to move.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment and then said: "Use this arrow."
He took out an arrow from the Ghost King's bag, stretched out his finger, and a wisp of blood stained it.
Xing Shan nodded and took the arrow.
Then Li Xiuyuan shouted to the people in the city: "Yang Biao? I haven't heard of it. There are countless gods in the Heavenly Palace. How can I remember some unknown people? Since you are a marshal, you are also a capable person. Why did you start a rebellion? Could it be that you are a god yourself?"
It’s been too long, do you want to fall into reincarnation again?”
"Li Xiuyuan, don't show off your words. Today, we have come down to earth for only one thing, to send you back to your place. God also has a divine order. If you are willing to abandon the sword and seal it, we will not embarrass you and let you be safe and sound."
to survive this life." Yang Biao said.
"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Can you come closer and speak?" Li Xiuyuan said, "I'm not as smart as you."
Yang Biao did not doubt anything else. He rode closer and said, "Li Xiuyuan, if you are willing to surrender and admit defeat, today's battle can be avoided."
"Sorry, I still didn't hear clearly." Li Xiuyuan said.
Yang Biao's face darkened; "Don't be shameless. Since you don't know the destiny, I will personally end your journey in the world today."
"Wha~!"
Before he finished speaking, a whistling sound suddenly came in the dark night.
An arrow flew quickly from nowhere, with astonishing force, and headed straight for Yang Biao on horseback.
"A hidden arrow hurts someone? Xiao Dao'er." Yang Biao moved upon hearing the sound and stretched out his hand to grab the person in front of him.
A flying arrow was firmly caught in his palm.
He has been a god for thousands of years, and as the marshal commanding the divine soldiers and generals under the Dongyue Divine Lord, he has never experienced any kind of fighting.
"Chichi~!"
But then, Yang Biao felt a pain in his palm and hurriedly dropped the arrow in his hand.
A stream of green smoke came out from the palm of his hand.
However, he saw that a small gash had been opened in the palm of his hand, and there was a wisp of blood stained on it.
"The blood of saints can drive away ghosts and gods." Yang Biao's face showed anger, and he felt that his divine body attached to the mortal body was damaged.
The evil spirit on the battlefield also poured in continuously along the gap.
One of the biggest disadvantages of being possessed by a ghost is that if the physical body is injured, the divine body will lack protection.
Being exposed on the battlefield at this moment is undoubtedly roasting on the fire.
"Attack the city and kill Li Xiuyuan." Yang Biao suddenly shouted, with a burst of anger.
I haven't been injured in many years, but I didn't expect that I would be injured by Li Xiuyuan using such a small and unflattering means.
