The river flows between Hulao Pass and the Luoyang battlefield, making it extremely convenient to travel by boat. However, Yan Ling's Lingyun Army is all elite cavalry, and traveling by water requires too many warships, so they still meander along the land as usual!
Before they arrived at the encirclement set up by Li Shimin in Luoyang, Li Shimin came up to him and asked Yan Ling to escort Dou Jiande directly to the gate of Luoyang City to undermine the enemy's morale.
Li Shimin rode a war horse at the front, followed by Yan Ling who was escorting Dou Jiande, and Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin and other generals who followed Li Shimin.
After reuniting with Li Yuanji, who was ordered by Li Yuan to restrain Li Shimin, the group brought Dou Jiande, who was tied into a rice dumpling shape, to the front, and the army pressed in at the same time.
"Dong dong dong!"
The war drums roared, but they were not the clarion call for attack, but the music playing to celebrate Yan Ling's victory!
The defenders at the top of Luoyang City were also startled by the thundering drums. They all cast their gazes in front of Li Shimin's army. They suddenly found Dou Jiande tied to a war horse. Their morale dropped sharply and they felt desperate!
"King Xia!"
Wang Shichong at the top of the city of Luoyang cried out sadly, with despair in his words. Dou Jiande was Luoyang's only hope. Now that Dou Jiande was captured, Wang Shichong no longer knew how to hold on!
Li Shimin ignored Wang Shichong, his eyes focused on the tall and burly young man next to Wang Shichong and sighed: "Young Marshal! Did Shimin say something wrong?"
However, before Kou Zhong could answer, Li Yuanji shouted: "Kou Zhong! As long as you are not a fool, you should know that the situation is over. If you don't kneel down and beg for mercy, surrender the city immediately, I will make you unable to live and die."
Yan Ling's eyes narrowed, and he already understood the reason why Qi King Li Yuanji appeared on the battlefield. It must be that Li Yuan knew that Li Shimin was unwilling to break up with Kou Zhong, and was afraid that Li Shimin would be friends with Kou Zhong's young commander's army and gain support in Luoyang.
Only when the army is self-reliant will Li Yuanji come out to disrupt the situation.
"Has the situation reached this point?" Yan Ling sighed inwardly. He did not expect that during the period of time when he was obsessed with martial arts secrets, the internal fighting in the Li clan had reached this level. Li Yuan was already suspicious of Li Shimin, but
One can only imagine how far the fight between Li Shimin and Prince Li Jiancheng has reached!
"Prince Qi is polite, but do you think I, Kou Zhong, am someone who can kneel down and beg for mercy?"
Kou Zhong no longer had the cynicism he had when Yan Ling first met him. Now, as the commander of an army, Kou Zhong has also developed a cold temperament, with a calm expression and no emotion at all.
Yan Ling's eyes were deep, and through the distance of nearly a thousand steps, the figures of Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan came into his eyes. Looking at the master temperament of the three people, Yan Ling knew that although these three people had not received complete
Heshibi's essence energy, but still has other adventures. Now it has been reborn, and its strength is no weaker than Huanwen and Shifeixuan whom we saw before.
Maybe this is the child of destiny. Yan Ling understands in his heart that as a protagonist who is favored by a world, strong luck is the most basic configuration. He can also gain adventures by running around.
Then Yan Ling thought of Huan Huan and Shi Fei Xuan, two very beautiful women. They were the most outstanding genius disciples of the good and evil paths, and they were also the two most beautiful women Yan Ling had seen in this world.
The point is that they all have extraordinary martial arts skills and are enough to become Yan Ling's opponents.
Suddenly, Kou Zhong on Luoyang City jumped down from the 30-foot-high city wall, making the armies on both sides lose their minds. At such a height, even a master-level expert might not be able to land safely.
But Yan Ling understood that Kou Zhong was very human. The pure and strange immortal energy and the physical meridians modified by He Shibi allowed him to breathe easily. The height of thirty feet did not faze Kou Zhong.
Sure enough, Kou Zhong landed safely, and in several leaps, passed through the deep trenches dug under Luoyang City, stopped at the edge of the outermost trench, and looked at Li Yuanji from a distance. It turned out that Li Yuanji had ordered Dou Jiande to
, forcing Kou Zhong to kneel down and beg for mercy, but Kou Zhong wanted to rescue Dou Jiande single-handedly.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sound of the war drums was full of rhythm, and the atmosphere on the battlefield was extremely solemn. Kou Zhong took out a strong sun-shooting bow with his backhand, and his energy was firmly locked on Li Yuanji. Once Li Yuanji made any change, the heart-piercing arrow would immediately kill whoever
Nothing can save him.
"Oops, Master Zhong is in danger!"
Xu Ziling in Luoyang City suddenly exclaimed.
Ba Fenghan followed Xu Ziling's line of sight and happened to meet Yan Ling's dull gaze. Ba Fenghan's eyes condensed, obviously recognizing Yan Ling.
Although they have never met Yan Ling a few times, Yan Ling's tyranny has already left a deep impression in their hearts on the Tianjin Bridge in Luoyang. This is a head-to-head fight with Wu Wu, Shi Feixuan defeated the undefeated master in the air, the three major
A grandmaster is nothing more than that.
But without Yan Ling's intervention, the shadow assassin Yang Xuyan had already cooperated with Li Yuanji to kill Dou Jiande. Now Li Shimin is helping Cihang Jingzhai, while Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji are winning over the Turkic and Demonic forces respectively. Yang Xuyan
It is absolutely normal to support Li Yuanji.
When Dou Jiande died, the morale of the Luoyang City defenders dropped again. Wang Shichong even wanted to abandon the city and surrender, but Kou Zhong, who returned to the city wall, took control of the situation and wanted to fight to the death with Li Shimin's army.
"Eh!"
Yan Ling exclaimed!
In Yan Ling's perception, facing the inevitable situation of Li Shimin's advancing army, Kou Zhong actually had an epiphany and his spirit sublimated, reaching a magical state of harmony with heaven and earth. His whole body's energy and blood were as deep as the sea.
.
But this was a battle between two armies, and individual bravery was not as useful as imagined. Li Shimin's army was now several times as powerful as the Luoyang defenders, and their morale was high; while the Luoyang defenders were suffering from internal divisions and low morale.
The only advantage of Luoyang City is that it can defend the city. There are many defensive weapons in the city, such as catapults and crossbows, which are extremely powerful and can cause huge damage to Li Shimin's army.
However, what Yan Ling didn't expect was that under such harsh conditions, Kou Zhong would dare to take the initiative, lower the suspension bridge, and lead the attack. This somewhat surprised Yan Ling.
"Dong dong dong!"
The sound of war drums became more and more intense. Li Shimin sent several generals to attack, but he did not press too hard. Now that Luoyang City was within his grasp, Li Shimin naturally did not want to arouse the Luoyang defenders to fight to the death. He only wanted to force the invaders back.
Zhong, so that he could not lead his troops to break out of the encirclement. Sooner or later, Luoyang City would run out of food and fodder, so he would have to surrender the city.
Kou Zhong also understood his situation and did not dare to waste time with Li Shimin. He only listened to Kou Zhong's order. The morale of the Luoyang defenders was boosted and they launched an offensive against Li Shimin's army behind the trenches.
Yan Ling sat on the horseback, watching Kou Zhong issue various orders to the army, and repeatedly repulsed the troops that came to defend. This made Yan Ling marvel. Kou Zhong was indeed a military wizard. At least he was in a different place, and Yan Ling could
Ling was unable to achieve such a level of coordination and tacit understanding between the various forces.
"Why doesn't General Yan go to fight? Is he afraid of that kid Kou Zhong?"
Li Yuanji also returned from the front at this time, rode up to Yan Ling's side and questioned him.
Yan Ling responded with a calm smile: "The King of Qi is too worried. Now the commander-in-chief is the King of Qin. If the King of Qin gives the order, I will naturally send troops to attack, so I won't bother the King of Qi!"
"snort!"
Li Yuanji snorted coldly and said: "I hope General Yan will not disappoint me!"
After saying that, Li Yuanji led a group of his men and rode away.
Yan Ling looked at Li Yuanji's back with cold eyes. Since Li Shimin was chosen as the way to complete the task, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji would naturally not be able to survive. It's just that the time is running out now. When the world is unified, Yan Ling will naturally eliminate Li Shimin for Li Shimin.
The two major obstacles are Yuan Ji and Li Jiancheng. (To be continued)
