Fighting all the way from Jiangnan, it was a winning streak. Even if there were some setbacks, it was nothing to Li Xingzai.
Expanding the army along the way, Li Xingzai now has an army of 600,000 to 700,000, known to the outside world as one million.
After fighting so many battles, the Rong tribe that once ravaged the empire was almost wiped out, and the remaining small groups of Rong tribe were nothing.
At present, Chang'an City is the last stronghold of the Rong people. As long as Chang'an City is conquered, this troubled times will come to an end.
When Li Xingzai's troops arrived at Chang'an City, the east gate, north gate, and south gate were surrounded by Jiangnan troops. Cheng Dalei was in charge of the remaining west gate. However, as promised in advance: Cheng Dalei held down the position and attacked the city.
The matter came from Li Xingzai.
This is the only reputation in the world that Li Xingzai cannot give up to Cheng Dalei.
At this time, Hua Mulan had returned to the Jiangnan Army's headquarters from Lingchuan City. She had many things to report. After returning, she met Li Xingzai alone.
This time she was going to Lingchuan City with her. Hua Mulan told everything about how she met Cheng Dalei in detail.
It is inevitable to talk about Cheng Dalei being addicted to wine and sex and being mentally depressed.
After hearing this, Li Xingzai sneered three times. He knew Cheng Dalei well and knew that this man was such a thief that he could not sleep without opening his eyes.
The reason why he acted like this was just for show. He was just trying to be mysterious and deceived Hua Mulan, but he couldn't deceive Li Xingzai.
Hua Mulan didn't know why Li Xingzai was laughing. She raised her head and heard Li Xingzai ask:
"and after?"
"Later, when my subordinates left, they encountered the Rong tribe. The leader was Lu Fengxian. Fortunately, Toad Village appeared in time, otherwise the subordinates would have died in the hands of the Rong tribe. Cheng Dalei fought with Lu Fengxian for several rounds. He was really good.
His martial arts skills were not defeated by Lu Fengxian, which is really impressive."
"Did he fight with Lu Fengxian?" Li Xingzai was surprised.
Hua Mulan nodded.
"Even he can't do anything to Lu Fengxian."
Li Xingzai's tone was a little surprised, and now Hua Mulan understood. What Li Xingzai was surprised about was not that Lu Fengxian failed to defeat Cheng Dalei, on the contrary, he was surprised that Cheng Dalei failed to defeat Lu Fengxian.
Is Cheng Dalei really that powerful?
Even now, Hua Mulan also knows that she has misjudged Cheng Dalei. But she did not expect that Miles Dalei is recognized as powerful in the hearts of others, even if this person is Li Xingzai.
At this moment, Hua Mulan suddenly remembered something and said: "Your Majesty, Cheng Dalei called Your Majesty by his first name, and his words were so disrespectful that he might have a disobedient heart."
"Oh, that's it." Li Xingzai felt a little headache. He knocked his head and said, "In that case, I will also send him a letter to give him instructions."
After some conversation, Li Xingzai had made a certain judgment about Cheng Dalei's attitude. This was not the top priority. The top priority was how to capture Chang'an City.
As long as Chang'an City is conquered, he will be the undisputed king of the world. At that time, even if Cheng Dalei wants to fight, he will not be able to fight.
Li Xingzai told Cheng Dalei to stay put, and Cheng Dalei was happy to do the work. Since Li Xingzai wanted to fight, he let him fight. According to Cheng Dalei's estimation, Chang'an City was not that easy to fight, and Li Xingzai must not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy.
Cheng Dalei spent the whole day drinking and having fun with Diao Chan and other female troupe dancers, and he was quite at ease.
At this time, a letter was delivered to Cheng Dalei. The letter informed Cheng Dalei of the time of Jiangnan Army's attack and also mentioned a few other things.
Xu Cheng Dalei will not kneel down in front of you, but go to the palace with a sword. Li Xingzai is willing to treat Cheng Dalei as brothers.
The meaning behind the words is: as long as Cheng Dalei doesn't compete for that position, other matters can be easily discussed.
At least now Li Xingzai has kept a low profile and doesn't make excessive demands. Who knows if he will change his attitude in the future.
Cheng Dalei also wrote back, saying that even if Li Xingzai attacked the city, Cheng Dalei would be responsible for suppressing the battle and nothing would go wrong.
The subtext is also very obvious: Just go ahead and fight, and let me do it when you can't figure it out.
Li Xingzai naturally understood the meaning of Cheng Dalei's letter, and couldn't help but gasped: Cheng Dalei must be arrogant, how do you know that I can't control Chang'an City.
I decided to print it down for you to see.
Make arrangements quickly and advance the start of the war.
Before the war started, there were still many tedious things to deal with. Sacrifice to heaven, earth, ancestors, and soldiers sent a letter of war to the Rong people.
I only heard that in the world, the empire has always been respected, and the barbarians have not been seen as the dominant ones. If you know the truth, surrender quickly. Victory is a waste of effort.
Although he knew it would have no effect, he still needed to do it. After completing the complicated ceremony, Li Xingzai couldn't wait to go to war with the Rong people.
On that day, even Cheng Dalei walked out of Lingchuan City. He yawned and wanted to see how Li Xingzai would fight and how the Rong clan would deal with it.
The three armies were assembled and guarded the city gates on all sides, but the main battlefield was at the south gate.
When Li Xingzai was about to launch an attack, the city gate suddenly opened and a large group of soldiers poured out of the city.
The Rong tribe did not intend to hold on to the city wall, but started a face-to-face hand-to-hand combat with Li Xingzai on the plains.
The Rong people are good at attacking but not good at defending, which is in contrast to their strong field combat capabilities. By defending according to the city, casualties can be minimized.
But this is for the imperial army, and for the Rong people, they don't have this problem.
This sudden move really disrupted Li Xingzai's arrangement. The trebuchet, bed crossbow, and charging car he had arranged in advance were completely ineffective.
After a round of fighting, Li Xingzai had to temporarily order the three armies to retreat and first understand the current situation.
In the first battle, Li Xingzai could be said to have been completely defeated. When he stabilized his formation and organized his forces to prepare for a counterattack, the Rong clan called in gold to end the battle and returned to Chang'an City.
Cheng Dalei, who was watching the battle from a distant hilltop, took a sip of wine and sighed: "The general trend is the general trend."
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Li Xingzai has been fighting for so many years, but he doesn’t know how to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses. I’m afraid he underestimated the difficulty of this battle...
Times make heroes, and heroes make times. Li Xingzai's ability to reach this point is probably mostly due to luck. If he thought it was all his own fault, he would probably lose this battle miserably.
Li Xingzai also realized the seriousness of the problem. In this battle, the Rong tribe had absolute initiative. In a last-ditch battle, they naturally tried their best, but he was indeed a little too hasty.
Hong Chen had a deep hatred for Li Xingzai. He had no interest in fighting for the world. His main purpose was to kill Li Xingzai.
Lu Fengxian was in the same mood and racked his brains to kill Cheng Dalei.
One of them is brave and the other is clever. The key is that they didn't expect to gain anything at all, but only aimed at destruction.
Li Xingzai's army gathered in one place, just like the wild fire in the past, it fell to the bottom the moment it approached the peak.
