The evil dragon army's figure was like a ghost, disappearing in the dense forest in an instant. Lu Bu took back the blood-painted halberd, looked up, and signaled the three armies to stop attacking.
"Dian Wei, Shixin, and Luo Cheng, order the army to pass through Feilong Waterfall!"
Lu Bu felt that the ambush at Feilong Waterfall was a bit strange. The enemy only dispatched 1,500 evil dragon troops, and there was no determination to fight them to the death. It was just a flash in the pan, making it difficult to understand their intentions.
Generals Luo Cheng, Dian Wei, and Luo Shixin ordered the army to carry the corpses of the tragically dead soldiers on their horses, reassemble their formation, and quickly move across the Feilong Waterfall to leave.
at this time.
Behind the peak of Feilong Waterfall, more than a thousand evil dragon troops appeared. They all knelt down and saluted. The leading black-armored soldier said: "General, why did you suddenly order a retreat?"
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the top of the mountain. The man was not wearing a military uniform, but he was dressed in flowing white clothes. His hair was flying from his temples, and he was holding a flute. He did not look like an iron-blooded warrior who was killing the enemy with blood, but more like a warrior.
A gentle and elegant scholar.
"The goal has been achieved. The retreat is to save your lives, otherwise you will all die at the hands of Lu Bu."
"You are all the most elite soldiers of the empire, how can you die here in vain?"
"Retreat, you will quickly inform Li Keyong of the Demonic Dragon Legion, and ask him to defeat Li Jing's Legion as quickly as possible. Act according to the original plan. Luo Xiao is incompetent and almost ruined His Majesty's great cause."
The man rotated his wrist and held the flute behind his back. His figure flashed, and he jumped lightly and disappeared on the top of Feilong Waterfall. More than a thousand evil dragon troops followed closely behind him. Thick mist steamed and shrouded the top of the mountain. The group seemed to have never seen it before.
Appear.
About an hour later, the galloping Huben army stopped. Lu Bu ordered the three armies to set up camp and wait for the arrival of Bai Qi's troops. He felt that the ambush at Feilong Waterfall was very strange. The enemy's intentions were unknown, so he had to discuss it with Bai Qi.
With the evil dragon army's combat power, if they march rashly, they may fall into the enemy's trap again.
A sudden ambush left Lu Bu completely confused. In addition to worrying about the enemy's cunning, he also attached great importance to the combat power of the evil dragon army.
If the Heaven-Devouring Empire had a hundred thousand evil dragon troops, it would not be easy at all to defeat them.
The Huben army chose favorable terrain to set up camp in the wilderness. It was not until noon that Bai Qi's troops appeared, and the Shen Marching Army, led by the generals, galloped closer.
Bai Qi, Li Cunxiao, Wang Yanzhang, and Yang Dayan jumped off their horses and ordered the army to rest where they were. The four strode into the camp.
Lu Bu walked out of the tent to greet him and entered the big tent. Bai Qi asked, "Fengxian, why are you setting up camp here?"
Bai Qi was sure that there was a reason for the incident, otherwise with Lu Bu's character, he would have already led the army to attack Tianluo City by now.
Lü Bu motioned Bai Qi and the four generals to sit down and told him about the ambush at Feilong Waterfall. Bai Qi frowned in thought, guessing the same thing as Lü Bu, feeling that something was fishy and that the enemy must be dead and had other agendas.
A little while.
Bai Qi came back from his thoughts and said with bright eyes: "The enemy is playing tricks, and their purpose is nothing more than to prevent our army from moving forward. The more they do this, the more our army will speed up its march to catch them off guard."
"Indeed!"
"Commander Bai hit the mark. According to your opinion, speed up the march and attack Tianluo City first to see what the enemy's intentions are."
Lu Bu agreed with Bai Qi's words, so he stood up and hurriedly walked out of the tent, ordered the soldiers to beat the drums to assemble the army, and set off again to Tianluo City.
.............
The stars are changing, the winds are rising.
After marching for five consecutive days, the Shenxing Army and the Huben Army appeared at the foot of Tianluo City. The towering city stood up from the ground, and the flags were fluttering, but there was not a single enemy on the city.
The generals reined in their horses and stood up, signaling the army to stop advancing. They all looked suspicious, worried that this was an empty city plan by the enemy.
"Commander, the city gate is ajar. It seems to be an empty city. I will take people to check it out now!"
As soon as the words rang out, Dianwei reined up the horse and let go of the horse. Juechen ran away with more than a thousand tigers and soldiers behind him. He entered hastily without knowing what was going on in the city. This was a taboo on the march.
But Dianwei was not afraid, led his troops and marched straight in, pushed open the city gate and entered.
See the situation.
Lu Bu ordered Luo Shixin and Nangong Changwan to go with them, and also ordered the Huben army to approach the city. If there was an ambush in the city, the army could take care of it in time.
Luo Shixin and Nangong Changwan have not yet entered the city with their troops, but Dian Wei has already sent troops to inform them that Tianluo City is simply an empty city.
Hear the words.
Generals Lu Bu, Bai Qi, and Li Cunxiao led their troops into the city. Looking around, they saw that the long street was in a mess, with broken walls and ruins everywhere. It was obvious that the entire city had been uninhabited for a long time.
"It's actually an abandoned city!"
"What is Emperor Devouring Heaven planning? He has given up guarding the city. Is he gathering his army in Zhanwang City to prepare for a decisive battle with our army?"
Lu Bu looked suspicious and looked sideways at Bai Qi, only to see that his face was covered with haze, his head and forehead were frowning, and he was also confused by the enemy.
"Fengxian, in this battle, apart from the Wuchu army, as well as the armies of Hill, Divine Beast, and Yunhuan Three Kingdoms, the Heaven-Eating Empire will face unprecedented pressure. If someone is the Heaven-Eating Emperor, he will never disperse the army to guard in various cities. This will
Let the soldiers and horses of the four countries defeat them one by one."
"The best way is to gather the three armies together to fight against the soldiers of the four countries, or... give up the existing Taixu land and set up an empty city strategy to confuse the soldiers of the four countries.
The army launches a fierce attack on any of the four countries."
"Emperor Tian-Eating led his army to a sudden rise and swept through all the countries. No one really understood him. He captured the Golden Phoenix one after another. No people were seen in the two cities of Tianluo. However, Emperor Eating-Eaven was ambitious for the world. His army needed to replenish its food and supplies, and there were no people.
How can we provide for our city?"
Therefore, Bai Qi boldly guessed that the Heaven-devouring Emperor would give up the Taixu land he currently owned and choose a rich land as the foundation of his country.
"If this is really the case, where will the Heaven-Devouring Empire choose?"
"Fengxian, these are just speculations. They may be the enemy's suspicion tactics, so our army will march into Taichu City according to the original plan."
"Don't forget, Taichu City is an offensive and defensive city. By seizing this city, our troops can come and go freely, and we can deal with the Sky Devouring enemy forces at will."
Although Bai Qi had doubts in his heart, he still believed in his original idea. After all, since he entered the Devouring Heaven Empire, he had only fought against the enemy once, and they had not seen the true strength of the enemy.
There was no crisis for the Huben Army and the Shenxing Army for the time being, but after Li Jing's troops captured Shanhai City, they encountered the Heaven-Devouring Army at the foot of Dashan Pass.
The defender of Dashanguan is Fei Huzi, the commander of the Demon Dragon Army - Li Keyong, who leads 70,000 Demon Dragon Army and thirteen Taibao. At present, the two armies are facing each other, and Jiang Song and Li Sizhao are fighting fiercely on the battlefield.
Li Sizhao was the second eunuch among the thirteen eunuchs. Although he was short in stature, he was extremely brave. He could fight as well as Jiang Song with a horse spear in his hand.
In history, Li Sizhao was also unparalleled in bravery. He was shot in the head during a battle with the enemy. He pulled out the arrow from his head, shot the enemy general to death, and returned to the military camp to die of blood. (To be continued)
