Chapter 99 Offensive and Defensive Against the Trend

Lihuo City at this time.

General Mang You of the Western Wilderness led his army to detour and approached the city, and they had already been attacking for a day.

Li Qinglin didn't come to the front line in person, the gate guards worked very hard, but they were no match for the Xihuang elite, and after one day and one night, the city was declared broken.

Mang You led the 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 with many battles, Mang You had always been worried.

Because this invasion was so smooth.

Especially the frontier army... The frontier army guard is of course Li Qinglin's absolute confidant. Over the years, I don't know how many battles they have fought in Xihuang and how much blood has been shed. Such a person surrendered at the pass, and there was no dissatisfaction among the generals below. Even all the soldiers in the Beacon Tower were settled in advance, allowing them to drive straight in, which was very strange.

He also advised the prince to be careful, but the prince didn't listen much.

But the facts proved that there was really no problem. The generals and soldiers led the way for them all the way. The ability to reach Hengshan County so quickly and the detour to attack Lihuo this time are all due to the leading party.

This time, Lihuo City was directly destroyed, so what else could happen?

Lihuo City was also defended and destroyed. Almost all the guards were killed or injured, and there was no suspicion of them entering the city. As a famous commander in hundreds of battles, Mang You was very sure of this.

Probably it was Li Qinglin who disappointed the soldiers of the frontier army, because he was overwhelmed.

The Xihuang army rode their horses into the city, and the long street was crushed by the sound of horseshoes. Looking at the closed Lihuo city around, Mangyou smiled slightly.

Nanli is much more prosperous than Xihuang, and this place may become the capital of Xihuang in the future, but it will not be easily destroyed by troops. As long as he breaks through the palace and captures Li Qinglin, he, Mangyou, can be the commander in chief who destroys the country and shines through history.

All the way to the palace, the palace guards had already fled, and the eunuchs and maids could be seen running in panic, seeing the army approaching, crying loudly.

Mang You charged straight in with his army, but was quickly taken aback.

The entrance is an extremely wide square, and at the end of the square are high stone steps. There is a dragon chair above the stone steps, and a figure sits quietly on it, looking down at the swarming troops.

Mang You cautiously ordered the soldiers to disperse and guard the main roads. Thousands of archers were stationed in the square, and collectively drew their bows and arrows to point at the figure on the dragon chair.

After making sure everything was safe, Mang You carried the battle ax in his hand, and led the army with the generals to slowly approach the stone steps.

When he got closer, he could clearly see an old man in dragon robe sitting high on it. He had an old face and a stooped figure, but he was holding a silver gun in his hand, and his eyes were piercing and unstoppable.

"Li... Li Qinglin?" Mangyou's tone was quite shocking.

He is also a veteran in his fifties... Seeing the image of a young and handsome opponent who had fought many times on the battlefield suddenly become much older than himself as a veteran, that kind of spiritual impact is really amazing. indescribable.

I heard that he used some kind of illusion to maintain his youthful appearance, but now the illusion has failed? Or did he not want to cover up?

Mangyou felt a little ominous.

"It's my lord." Li Qinglin said with a smile, his voice was old but very loud: "Mang You, it's you and not Mang Zhan who came here unexpectedly, very good."

The ominous feeling in Mang You's heart became more intense.

Although no matter how you look at it, Li Qinglin has no room to stand up, but this attitude is too weird, it seems that Li Qinglin has won the battle.

Is this because of the destruction of the country, so I lost my mind and went crazy?

He didn't say anything, but cautiously let the generals surround Li Qinglin to death.

Li Qinglin didn't care that he was in a tight siege, he still smiled and said: "Actually, as a famous general, you should have noticed something weird this time."

Mangyou signaled that the generals should not rush to act, and said calmly: "No matter what the weirdness is, you Nanli has been destroyed, and you Li Qinglin is already a prisoner. You can still laugh. Could it be that you failed too cruelly and lost your mind?"

Li Qinglin looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "It is not necessarily true that Nanli has been destroyed, it is true that Xihuang must be destroyed first."

…………

On Hengshan County, the Ming River hangs in the sky, watching the attack and defense of the city wall indifferently.

The endless bones did not cause any ripples in her eyes, and her eyes were more focused on Li Qingjun's bloody fighting figure.

Immortal cultivators seldom make promises, because they are afraid of karma. But when Qin Yi left, he entrusted her to keep Li Qingjun's life, and she agreed without even thinking about it.

It's not for Qin Yi's face.

It's not that he appreciates Li Qingjun.

Just because of that jade pendant.

That is a jade pendant with a lot of background... If Li Qinglin is hopeless, Li Qingjun will be the inheritor of that jade pendant. She Tianshu Divine Tower intends to sell face to the original owner of the jade pendant. This is also what Shimen mentioned in the reply one.

It's just that her mood is a little complicated at this time.

She once entered the palace to communicate with Li Qinglin. She intended to talk about Yupei, but she got a very unexpected answer.

This decisive battle in Nanli was far from being as simple as Li Qingjun thought.

When the attack and defense were in full swing, the Mang Zhan army below the city suddenly became agitated, and within a moment, they suddenly screamed, and the army that was attacking the city retreated like a tide.

Ming He sighed secretly.

Li Qingjun looked out from the top of the city in astonishment, but saw that Mang Zhan's army was retreating westward at high speed as if they had received some extremely important orders, and even the marching formation was a little messed up.

Veteran Xie Yuan said happily: "Eldest Princess, you can pursue him!"

Li Qingjun frowned: "This withdrawal is too weird, could it be a trap?"

"It's not a trap." Xie Yuan said with certainty: "This is the plan of the king and it has been accomplished."

Xie Yuan's tone was very strange, it seemed a little lonely and sad, but also a little reverent.

"A king's plan?" At this moment, Li Qingjun didn't feel angry at being deceived, but rather pleasantly surprised.

Sure enough, even if my brother was obsessed with cultivating Taoism, he was still a famous general who fought in the battlefield in the first half of his life. He couldn't just give two orders to such an important battle situation, and there must be some arrangements.

Sure enough, it was secretly arranged?

She quickly galloped down the city and organized cavalry. As long as Nanli is fine, what does it matter no matter how much he hides? She, Li Qingjun, doesn't fight for power, and her brother just grabs power if he likes it.

The city gate burst open, Li Qingjun rode his horse in the lead, and led the army to sweep out of the city, piercing behind the Xihuang army like a sharp knife.

It really wasn't a trap, the Xihuang army didn't know what was going on, they only knew that the prince ordered them to withdraw urgently. The soldiers were at a loss, they could not form an army or a formation, and they were sprinted on their backs in an instant, and they trampled on each other instead, causing countless deaths and injuries.

At the same time, the Nanli Frontier Army, which was originally in the Xihuang army, turned their backs together, and cooperated with Li Qingjun to cut the Xihuang army into countless sections.

The offense and defense were instantly reversed.

Surprised and delighted, Li Qingjun led the crowd to chase him all the way, and chased him a hundred miles away.

In the distance to the western border, the beacon tower suddenly raised smoke. It was the Nanli frontier army who was still in custody in the border town and was bombing the camp. They were fighting for the control of the checkpoint with the defender of Xihuang. This was the beacon lighted by the defender of Xihuang.

Li Qingjun looked at the wolf smoke from a distance, and really couldn't figure out how his brother did it.

Ming He, 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 he could see the flames burning over there.
