"What should I do? The leader of the Tianlong Sect is so cunning. When he sees the situation is not going well, he immediately leads his troops to retreat. Should I take the opportunity to catch him? But there is an ignorant General Luo next to him. What can I do? good!"
The Tianlong Sect's rear army became the front army, and the original front army was sent as the rear army. The dragon leader of the Tianlong Sect personally led the army to retreat. This made Li Junxian, who was mixed in the Tianlong Legion, couldn't help but be secretly anxious. He didn't know how to feel it all at once. He had the idea of taking the opportunity to seize the dragon head of the Tianlong Sect, but in the end he did not put it into practice because he did not know the depth of General Luo, and he was not absolutely sure that he could successfully seize Tianlong under the latter's nose. The dragon head of the sect is taken away!
Even though Li Junxian has been a member of the Tianlong Legion for so long, he has never seen General Luo take action officially. Just under the city gate, the arrow shot by General Luo was obviously something that only a master-level warrior could do. Shooting at that level, so Li Junxian didn't think that he could quickly capture the dragon head of the Tianlong Sect under the protection of a master warrior!
"Dong dong dong~!"
Just when the Tianlong Legion turned around and prepared to retreat, a dull sound of horse hoofs suddenly sounded on the official road in the south of Chang'an City. Li Junxian looked happy. Because he had been lurking in the Tianlong Sect for so long, he knew the strength of the Tianlong Sect very well. He was very sure that the troops coming here were not here to support the Tianlong Sect!
If this possibility is ruled out, then there is only one truth. This sudden army belongs to the imperial court!
Li Junxian was happy, but the leader of Tianlong Sect, Zhang Liang, General Luo and others could not be happy no matter what!
"No! It's the imperial cavalry!"
General Luo's expression changed, and then he turned around and said hastily: "My lord, you lead a group of elite soldiers to retreat from the east, and the general will lead the rest to stop the imperial cavalry for you!"
"The imperial cavalry? How is that possible?"
The dragon leader of the Tianlong Sect couldn't help but say, with shock in his tone, and then he said in disbelief: "I have been sending people to various city gates in Chang'an to keep an eye on the court's movements. Indeed, no army has left the city in the past two days! This is Where did the cavalry come from?”
It is precisely because the imperial court has shown no signs of deploying troops recently that the man with the iron mask dares to attack the city with 50,000 troops! If the imperial army has been mobilized frequently in the past two days, it means that the imperial court is very likely to have been aware of the Tianlong Sect's plan. The man in the iron mask will definitely cancel today's operation in advance and will not come to Chang'an City at all!
"Perhaps the imperial troops stationed in other states and counties have arrived!"
General Luo looked ugly and said: "My lord, now is not the time to discuss these issues. The most urgent thing is for you to lead a team of troops to break out from the east! Leave this place to the future to cut off your rear!"
"General Luo, I am willing to escort the dragon head away~!"
At some point, Li Junxian suddenly came over, clasped his fists and bowed.
The position where Li Junxian was standing was not far from General Luo and the others. He heard most of the conversation between the two clearly. After finally waiting for the man with the iron mask to separate from General Luo, how could he not seize this opportunity? Chance? So without any hesitation, he stepped forward and asked for help.
General Luo's eyes were like lightning, and he looked at Li Junxian instantly. He frowned and said, "You? If I remember correctly, it should have been less than a month since you joined the Tianlong Legion, right? How can you be worthy of such a big responsibility?"
Li Junxian didn't expect that the man surnamed Luo could remember himself, a "little person" of the Tianlong Sect. His mind changed quickly and he quickly said:
"General Hui Luo, although my subordinates have only joined the Tianlong Sect for a short time, they are absolutely loyal to the Tianlong Sect and Dragon Head! Venerable Du'e was coerced by the court and was forced to maliciously slander the Tianlong Sect in public. Others may believe it, but I will never believe those words! My loyalty to the Tianlong Sect and Dragon Head has never changed. This time, Dragon Head is in trouble, and I will do my best to escort Dragon Head out of Chang'an safely. ! Please rest assured, General Luo!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Li Junjian, I did not misjudge you at the beginning!"
The dragon head of the Tianlong Sect looked at Li Junxian with admiration. He thought that the reason why Li Junxian was able to join the Tianlong Legion was mainly because he was valued by the dragon head of the Tianlong Sect. Now that the Tianlong Sect has encountered a huge crisis, Li Junxian is still Being able to remain loyal, the iron-faced man greatly admired Li Junxian in his heart, so he turned to General Luo and said: "General Luo, I believe in Li Junjian's loyalty. If you can face the enemy with peace of mind, let me Just let Li Junjian lead a team of people to escort me away!"
"But… !"
"No but! General Luo, you only need to stop the imperial army for a moment, and then immediately join me. No matter what, you must live!"
At this point, the current situation no longer allowed them to hesitate too much. The man with the iron mask made a decision instantly, but before leaving, he still looked at General Luo with a solemn face and explained.
"good!"
A touch of emotion flashed in the eyes of General Luo, and then he returned the salute solemnly: "My lord, take care! The general will definitely come back alive!"
After that, he shouted: "Pan Feng, Zhao Ming, you two, along with two thousand elites, are accompanying Li Junjian to escort the dragon head out of Chang'an! If anything goes wrong, I will chop off your heads~!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two sturdy generals stepped forward and clasped their fists to accept the order: "Obey the order~!"
"Haha! How dare the Tianlong Sect run rampant in Chang'an City? Today I, Old Cheng, will teach you how to behave!"
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves from the south gradually became louder, followed by Cheng Yaojin's loud laughter.
General Luo's expression changed, and he shouted sharply to the left and right: "Escort the dragon head away quickly!"
"yes!"
Immediately, two elite soldiers quickly left towards the east with the dragon heads of the Tianlong Sect.
General Luo held a long sword in his hand and said loudly: "All officers and men obey the order and follow me to meet the enemy~!"
"Here~!"
The Tianlong Legion is worthy of being a well-trained regular army. When General Luo gave the order, more than 10,000 people immediately agreed in unison. Then they all pulled out their sabers, formed their formations, and under the leadership of General Luo, headed towards Cheng Yaojin. Ten thousand Qingqi led by Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde and others rushed over!
"Hey! How brave! Let me, Old Cheng, come and meet you!"
When Cheng Yaojin saw that the leader of the rebel army had taken the initiative to greet him, he couldn't help shouting excitedly, holding the horse girdle, and rushed forward with his horse!
It is said that ten thousand versus ten thousand, this old guy has no consciousness at all when there are fewer people and more people. He just rushes forward as if his own side has an absolute advantage!
Qin Qiong was very anxious when he saw this, but it was obviously impossible to stop Cheng Yaojin at this time. He turned to Yuchi Jingde and said hastily: "Jingde, the Tianlong Sect has just detached a force and headed east. There is probably a dragon head from the Tianlong Sect there, you lead a team of people to pursue it, and I will help Zhijie!"
After all, Qin Qiong is still a little worried about Cheng Yaojin, an old guy who often makes mistakes, but he has to send people to chase the other team sent by the Tianlong Sect. After much deliberation, he can only arrange it this way!
Yuchi Gong also knew that the situation was urgent, so he did not hesitate at the moment. He wiped the rain off his face and responded directly: "Okay! Then I will take a thousand Qingqi to chase the remnants of the Tianlong Sect. Uncle Bao, you and Zhijie, be careful! "
"Well! You don't have to worry here!"
Qin Qiong nodded and said.
"Wu Dachuan, count a thousand people and follow me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuchi Jingde said hello, and a thousand Qingqi turned around and ran towards the east where the dragon head of the Tianlong Sect was fleeing.
"All generals obey the order! Kill them as you follow! Don't let anyone go!"
Qin Qiong, holding a golden mace, mobilized his war horses and led the remaining thousand light cavalry to support Cheng Yaojin!
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin and General Luo were already fighting together. The two faced each other to test each other, and found that they were evenly matched in strength. At this time, Cheng Yaojin hit General Luo's sword with another sword. , but the latter's majestic Qi directly shook him away. Cheng Yaojin stabilized his body and couldn't help but said in surprise:
"Hey! What a handsome kung fu you have! Who are you? Who do you study under?"
No wonder Lao Cheng was surprised. The young general in front of him was only twenty years old, but his martial arts level had reached the Grand Master level. He was probably the youngest Grand Master level warrior in the entire Tang Dynasty, except for Li Zexuan! What surprised Cheng Yaojin even more was that this young general was not only very good at swordsmanship, but his swordsmanship was also quite fierce. Yes, it was fierce. It was simple and efficient, quite similar to the style of swordsmanship in the military!
"You are an unknown person, don't bother Duke Lu to take note of him!"
A trace of hatred flashed in General Luo's eyes. He said something coldly, raised his sword and struck at Cheng Yaojin again!
"Hey! I, Old Cheng, see you as a talented person and want to persuade you to submit to the imperial court, but you are such a ignorant little kid. In this case, I, Old Cheng, will teach you how to respect your elders today!"
It is said that Cheng Yaojin saw this young general's superior martial arts skills and started to love his talents, but the other party did not appreciate him at all. Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but get angry, but not everyone is qualified to make him warm and cold. After saying that, Cheng Yaojin waved his horse at General Luo!
"Zhijie! I'm here to help you!"
At this time, Qin Qiong came on horseback and wanted to join forces with Cheng Yaojin to fight against General Luo.
Cheng Yaojin's temper was already rising at this time. After hearing Qin Qiong's voice, he said loudly: "Second brother, I don't need your help! Let me, old Cheng, come and meet him alone!"
While talking, the two of them had already reached a point of fighting.
Hearing this, Qin Qiong quickly reined in his horse, but felt helpless in his heart. He knew that if he rashly joined the battle at this time, although Lao Cheng would not be really angry with him, he would definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart, so he could only stand aside at this moment. While dealing with the surrounding Tianlong Sect sergeants, he paid attention to the battle situation on the field. Once the battle situation at Cheng Yaojin changed, he would go to the rescue as soon as possible!
