The sun peeked halfway from the east, which proved that Li Xingzai's time of struggle was not particularly long.
He straightened up and faced Cheng Dalei with fists in his hands.
"Master Cheng..."
Cheng Dalei also raised his fist and said: "We are destined to meet again in the future."
Cheng Dalei interrupted Li Xingzai directly. Li Xingzai was very grateful to Cheng Dalei for not embarrassing him.
He nodded and said, "Goodbye."
Cheng Dalei raised a hand, closed it and then spread it apart. This represented a signal to retreat in Toad City. The Longzi Army began to retreat in an orderly manner. The front team changed to the rear team. There was no confusion in the process. They appeared out of thin air and quietly
Disappeared silently.
Song Bokang jumped down from his horse, strode up to Li Xingzai, knelt down on his knees, and said, "I will be punished by death. Please follow me back to the city, Your Highness."
At dawn, the light from the east fell on Li Xingzai's face, illuminating his dusty face. He stared at the sun in the east. No matter what happened on the ground, the sun still rose in the east and set in the west, and there was a brand new day in front of him.
"Let's go back to the city."
The team began to return to Liangzhou City, and a new courtyard was arranged for Li Xingzai. Young maids bathed and changed clothes for him, and doctors in the city cleaned his wounds and applied carefully prepared ointments.
Song Bokang sat opposite him, maintaining a respectful attitude.
"Your Highness is frightened. Do you want to take a rest first? I will report to His Highness when he wakes up."
Li Xingzai had been running around all night and was already exhausted. However, the strange thing was that he didn't feel sleepy at all at this moment.
Lying lazily on the Arhat bed, he shook his head and said, "No need, tell me now, what happened in Chang'an?"
Song Bokang's expression paused and he said: "The two places are too far apart. The situation in Chang'an is changing rapidly. If we want to know the exact news, we have to rush to Chang'an City."
Liangzhou and Chang'an are thousands of miles apart, and it will take at least seven days for the news to reach here. Song Bokang received more complete information than Cheng Dalei, but he did not fully know the real situation where it happened.
To see the truth at that time, you need to go back seven days.
…
Under the city of Chang'an, there were piles of corpses.
This is not an adjective, but the real situation that happened at that time. Corpses were piled up one after another, kerosene was poured on them, and the burning flesh and blood gave off a stench. The engineering machine in the distance threw away the huge rocks and smashed them viciously against the city. The city.
The heavy crossbow on his head fired heavy swords one after another, piercing the corpse. The engineering ladder was erected and then pushed down. The flow of the moat had long been cut off due to the pile of corpses, and the river water turned into blood.
This is killing against killing, death against death.
The siege started seven days ago, and the main attack on the east gate of Chang'an City was launched within seven days. There are people in the world who are not afraid of death, but no one does not want to live. The reason why the Righteous Religion launched such a brutal attack was that they had run out of food.
Retreating will lead to death due to lack of food, but attacking may lead to victory. Now it is a battle that will sink the ship.
Countless people died, and then more people came up and were killed again. More than half of the 100,000-strong army of the Justice Sect had been killed or injured, but Lin Shaoyu had no intention of retreating.
Paying such heavy casualties also put huge pressure on Li Letian who was defending the city. This was already the seventh day of defending the city. He had no idea whether Chang'an City could continue to hold on.
On the battlefield, everything is changing rapidly, who will be the natural winner?
From the top of the city, there are mountains and mountains, and Fuhu Pass in the distance is not far away from here. Li Letian knew that there were countless armies of princes nearby.
If they are willing to send troops, a two-pronged attack will definitely defeat the bandits of the Justice Cult.
However, they chose to stand still and watch.
The empire had lost the hearts of the world for a long time, so they chose to watch the empire's destruction with cold eyes. Faced with this scene, Li Letian didn't feel much anger in his heart.
Because those who deserve to be angry have already been angry, meaningless curses have no meaning.
The only thing that can be done is to pick up weapons and fight.
Li Letian pulled out the Emperor's Sword and swung it hard: "Kill!"
The Li family has its fair share of cowards, dandies, and even losers, but there have never been cowards, never.
In times of crisis, they put aside poems, books, rituals and music, overturned delicacies, picked up weapons and charged, and the blood of their ancestors was resurrected in their bodies.
Li Letian personally appeared at the top of the city and lived and died with the soldiers, which aroused the morale of the soldiers. The battle started at dawn and continued until the next dawn. There was still no winner, but more and more corpses were piled up under the city.
Lin Shaoyu went out to fight in person.
He was wearing black armor, with a large cloak floating behind him, and the ugly big toad was fluttering in the wind, looking hideous and terrifying.
Behind him, a large flag was erected with the word "righteousness" written on it. In the name of justice, he punished injustice in the world.
In the eyes of the warriors on both sides, Lin Shaoyu's figure became extremely tall. If there was a luster on his body, it seemed that he was really a general coming from heaven, and he came to this world to do justice for heaven.
Increase one's physical strength
Improve one's own morale
The strength of enemy soldiers is weakened in the same proportion.
In an instant, the effect of the God of War flag was maximized. Seeing this big flag with the word "righteousness" tattooed on it, everyone seemed to see a symbol of undefeation. The originally weak Justice Sect warriors had new strength emerging from their bodies. Under Lin Shaoyu's
Under his leadership, he launched the most brutal attack.
Lin Shaoyu took the lead, and under his leadership, the Justice Cult rolled up a black whirlwind on the battlefield and rushed towards the city gate.
The siege engine started again and stared at the flames hitting the city gate. Once and twice, the rolling wood and stones that fell from the city head were picked apart by spears. With a thud, the city gate was suddenly opened from the inside.
A group of men in rich attire stood at the gate of the city, shouting: "Welcome the general heaven to enter the city, welcome the general general to the city!"
The soldiers at the top of the city withstood waves of attacks, but the merchants and wealthy households in the city could not. At dawn on the seventh day, they finally sneaked to the city gate and opened it.
Not only did Li Letian not expect this scene, but even Lin Shaoyu was shocked. But it was good news after all. Lin Shaoyu led the team to charge into the city.
"These beasts!" Li Letian cursed fiercely: "Someone, block them back!"
The soldiers of the Justice Cult let out strange screams, like beasts that had been hungry for three days. Seeing that the city gate was broken, the morale of the soldiers reached a peak, and they charged into the city with strange screams.
Wherever Lin Shaoyu's spear pointed, blood dripped. The soldiers shouted in front of each other and supported each other. This ragtag group of unruly people who could not survive in the empire showed terrifying murderous intent in the face of the elite imperial army.
Rivers of blood flowed under the city gate, and everyone stepped on the corpses. They could not tell whether the corpses under their feet were from the Imperial Army or from the Justice Cult. In the end, the densely packed Imperial soldiers were killed to make a way out.
Lin Shaoyu rode his horse through the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood, and defeated Chang'an with his horse.
