Xihuang General Mang You led his army to take a detour and approached the city. They had been attacking for a day.
Li Qinglin did not come to the front line in person. The soldiers at the city gate worked hard, but in the end they could not defeat the elite of the Western Wilderness. After one day and one night, the city was declared defeated.
Mang You led his army in, looked up to the sky and smiled: "Li Qinglin is nothing more than that! We overestimated him."
In fact, before this, as a famous general who had experienced hundreds of battles, Mang You had always been worried in his heart.
Because this invasion was so smooth.
Especially the border army... The guard general of the border army is of course Li Qinglin's absolute confidant. He has fought countless battles with them in the Western Wilderness over the years and shed a lot of blood. Such a person surrendered at the pass, and no generals below were dissatisfied.
Even all the soldiers at the beacon tower were arranged in advance, allowing them to march straight in. It was very strange.
He also advised the prince to be careful, but the prince didn't listen much.
But it turned out that there was really no problem. The surrendered generals and soldiers also led them all the way. The ability to reach Hengshan County so quickly and this detour to raid Lihuo were all due to the leading party.
This time, even Lihuo City was destroyed. What else could happen?
Lihuo City was also defended and defeated. Almost all the soldiers defending the city were killed and wounded, and there was no suspicion that they had entered the city. As a famous commander in hundreds of battles, Mang You was very sure of this.
It was probably Li Qinglin who really disappointed the frontier soldiers, and it was because he was too preoccupied.
The Xihuang army entered the city on horseback. The sound of horse hooves trampled the long street. Looking at the closed Lihuo City around him, Mang You smiled slightly.
Nanli is much more prosperous than the Western Wilderness. In the future, this place may become the capital of the Western Wilderness, and it will not be easily destroyed by troops. As long as he breaks the palace and captures Li Qinglin, he, Mangyou, can be the commander of the country's annihilation and shine in history.
All the way to the palace, the palace guards had already fled, and the eunuchs and maids inside could be seen running around in panic. Seeing the approaching army, their cries were loud.
Mang You rushed in with his troops, but was quickly stunned.
There is an extremely broad square at the entrance, and at the end of the square are high stone steps. There is a dragon chair on the stone steps, and a figure sits quietly on it, looking down at the troops swarming in.
Mang You cautiously ordered the soldiers to disperse and guard the major thoroughfares. Thousands of archers were stationed in the square, collectively pointing their bows and arrows at the figure on the dragon chair.
After making sure that everything was safe, Mang You carried his battle ax and led his army slowly towards the stone steps.
As he got closer, he could clearly see an old man in dragon robe sitting high above. He had an old face and a stooped body, but he was holding a silver gun in his hand and his eyes were piercing and unstoppable.
"Li...Li Qinglin?" Mang You's tone was quite shocking.
He himself was a veteran in his fifties... The sudden sight of a young and handsome opponent who had fought many times on the battlefield turned into a figure much older than himself, a veteran, was such a psychological impact.
Indescribable.
I heard that he used some illusion to keep his youthful appearance. Now is it that the illusion has failed? Or does he not want to hide it anymore?
Mang You felt a little ominous in his heart.
"It is this king." Li Qinglin said with a smile, his voice was old but resonant: "Mang You, I didn't expect that it was you who came here instead of Mang Zhan, very good, very good."
The ominous feeling in Mang You's heart became even stronger.
Although no matter how you look at it, there is no room for Li Qinglin to turn around, but his attitude is too weird. Instead, it seems that he, Li Qinglin, has won the battle.
Is this because he lost his mind and went crazy because of the destruction of the country?
He didn't say anything, he just cautiously let the generals surround Li Qinglin.
Li Qinglin didn't care that he was trapped in a tight siege, but still smiled and said: "Actually, as a famous general in hundreds of battles, you should have noticed something strange this time."
Mang You signaled the generals not to take action and said calmly: "No matter what the weirdness is, your Nanli has been destroyed, and your Li Qinglin is already a prisoner. You can still laugh. Could it be that the failure was too cruel and you lost your mind and went crazy?"
Li Qinglin looked up to the sky and laughed: "It is not certain that Nanli has been destroyed. It is true that Xihuang must be destroyed first."
…………
In Hengshan County, Minghe hangs in the sky, watching the attack and defense of the city wall indifferently.
The endless corpses did not cause any ripples in her eyes, and her eyes focused more on Li Qingjun's bloody fighting figure.
Immortal cultivators rarely make promises for fear of karma. But when Qin Yi left, he asked her to save Li Qingjun's life, and she agreed without even thinking about it.
Not to give Qin Yi face.
It’s not about admiring Li Qingjun.
Just because of that jade pendant.
That is a jade pendant with a lot of history... If Li Qinglin is not saved, Li Qingjun is the inheritor of that jade pendant. She, Tianshu Shenque, intends to sell a favor to the original owner of the jade pendant. This is what the teacher mentioned in the reply at that time.
one.
It's just that her mood was a little complicated at this time.
She once went to the palace to communicate with Li Qinglin, originally intending to talk about the jade pendant, but she got a very unexpected answer.
This decisive battle in Nanli is far from being as simple as Li Qingjun thought.
When the attack and defense were intensifying, the troops in the Mang battle below the city suddenly became commotion. Within a moment, they suddenly started shouting gold wildly, and the troops attacking the city retreated like a tide.
Minghe came with a secret sigh.
Li Qingjun looked out in shock from the top of the city, only to see that the Mang Zhan army was rapidly evacuating to the west as if it had received some extremely important order. Even its marching formation was somewhat chaotic.
Veteran Xie Yuan said happily: "Eldest Princess, you can pursue me!"
Li Qingjun frowned: "This retreat is too weird, could it be a trap?"
"It's not a trap." Xie Yuan said with certainty, "This is the king's plan."
Xie Yuan's tone was very strange, seeming a little lonely and sad, but also a little respectful.
"The king's plan?" At this moment, Li Qingjun did not feel angry at being deceived, but was instead a little surprised.
Sure enough, even if my brother is addicted to Taoism, he is still a famous general who fought on the battlefield in the first half of his life. When faced with such an important battle situation, he cannot just give two orders and complete the matter. There should always be some arrangements.
Was it really planned secretly?
She quickly rushed down to the city and organized the cavalry. As long as Nanli was fine, what did it matter no matter how much he hid? She, Li Qingjun, didn't fight for power, so her brother could just take it if he wanted to.
The city gate suddenly opened, and Li Qingjun took the lead, leading his army to sweep out of the city, like a sharp blade, piercing through the back of the Western Wilderness army.
Sure enough, it was not a trap. The Xihuang army did not know what was going on. They only knew that the prince urgently ordered to withdraw. The soldiers were at a loss, and the army was in disarray. In an instant, they were rushed to the ground and trampled on each other.
There were countless casualties.
At the same time, the Nanli border troops who were originally sandwiched between the Xihuang army all turned against each other, and cooperated with Li Qingjun to cut the Xihuang army into countless pieces.
Attack and defense reversed instantly.
Li Qingjun was surprised and delighted, and led his men to pursue him hundreds of miles away.
In the distance at the western border, beacon smoke suddenly rose from the beacon tower. It was the Nanli border troops who were still under guard in the border town and were blowing up the camp and re-fighting with the Xihuang guard for control of the pass. This was the beacon smoke lit by the Xihuang guard.
Li Qingjun looked at the wolf smoke from a distance and couldn't figure out how his brother did it.
Minghe, who was watching the battle from the air, sighed and turned his head to look in the direction of Lihuo City.
It was as if I could see the fire burning over there.
