When Liu Dazheng led the elites of the headquarters and advanced bravely in the battle formation, trying to defeat the generals of the Hedong Army in front of him and directly cut through the Hedong Army's formation, Li Keyong appeared in front of him with a golden helmet and gold armor.
Li Ke used the battle formation behind him to suddenly raise a three-foot white light. This white light is so dazzling that even the noon sun is blocked out. Under the white light, there is a battle formation that is as heavy as a mountain and stronger than a giant ship.
Liu Dazheng felt as if he had been hit in the face by a heavy hammer, and his face turned pale instantly.
The entire forward-moving battle formation stopped for a while, and was forced to stop advancing.
With a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, Liu Dazheng raised his head and stared at Li Keyong, who was calm and composed, feeling quite astonished. In the sudden head-to-head confrontation, there was an obvious difference in strength between the two battle formations. It was not only Liu Dazheng himself who was injured, but the soldiers behind him also felt very uncomfortable.
In the military battle formation, the general and the sergeant are connected with each other, one is prosperous and the other is damaged.
"As expected of the King of Longxi County, he has cultivated a military general to such a level!" Liu Dazheng pulled up his visor, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and saw Li Keyong's eyes full of fear, but he was not surprised.
Li Keyong showed that he was also at the level of a military general, but he had already reached the late stage, and his combat power was obviously different from that of a general who had entered the middle stage and had difficulty making progress.
No wonder Li Keyong dared to let Li Cunxiao stay at home. It turned out that he had such a reliance.
It's just that, in recent years' battles, Li Ke led the army to attack, and the ones who really fought to the death in front of the battle were the Thirteen Taibao. It had been many years since Li Ke had to use all his strength to fight. So much so that many people have intentionally or unintentionally ignored that this young hero who was once famous in the world has actually been evaluated as a famous general.
Although having the talent of a famous general does not necessarily make him a famous general, there is still a difference between Li Cunxiao's fate of being a famous general, but even in a troubled world where the world is in conflict, how many famous generals can there be at any one time
The talent of a famous general, who can achieve the realm of a general, is enough to wipe out one side.
Glancing lightly at Liu Dazheng's eyes full of fear, Li Ke snorted coldly with disdain, "Did you really think that after winning a few battles, you would be able to rampage in the battlefield after becoming a military general? How much of the sky can you see?"
After saying that, Li Ke pointed his long lance obliquely, full of energy, and led the battle team to charge towards him face to face, like a wolf like a tiger.
Li Ke used condescending sarcasm to make Liu Dazheng's fear disappear, and replaced it with high-spirited fighting spirit: "He is also a military general, and the county king really treats this general as a chicken and a dog?"
The two battle formations rushed to one place.
Although Liu Dazheng was at a disadvantage, he was not in a hurry. He held back Li Keyong here, and Shangguan Qingcheng had no decent opponents. After she has dealt with the two military generals, she can come to support him.
When the time comes, the two of them will join forces, and they will definitely not be defeated by Li Keyong.
Liu Dazheng's plan was correct, but Shangguan Qingcheng's situation was not as easy as he thought.
After she appeared, the two generals of the Hedong Army no longer led the battle separately to fight against the Pinglu Army, but decisively joined together to attack her.
Two military generals, fighting against one military general.
If it were normal times, Shangguan Qingcheng would still win.
But the situation in front of me was different.
The two generals in front of her are Fu Cunshen and Kang Junli from the Thirteenth Taibao.
There is nothing unusual about Kang Junli, especially Fu Cunshen.
Fu Cunshen, one of the Thirteen Taibao, also known as Li Cunshen.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Li Keyong dominated the north, and he had many good generals under his command. Except for Li Cunxiao who was invincible but died young, there were two other people who were called Hedong Shuangbi in the "post-Li Cunxiao era". That is Li Cunshen and Zhou Dewei.
Fu Cun judged soldiers and horses for more than a hundred battles in his life, and repeatedly defeated the army of the Later Liang Dynasty established by Zhu Wen. He also sat in Youzhou to resist the Khitan's southern invasion for many years. He wasn't invincible, but he wasn't defeated either.
In other words, the worst battle he presides over is a draw with his opponent.
Not only that, but Fu Cunshen gave birth to nine sons, all of whom were good generals and basically able to serve as Jiedu envoys. The fourth son Fu Yanqing served as an official in the Northern Song Dynasty, and was also named King of Wei.
It is not without reason that the Hedong Army (later called the Jin Army) was based on the relatively barren land in the north, but they were able to defeat Zhu Wenji's descendants in the hands of Li Keyong and Li Cunxu's father and son, and occupied the Central Plains to establish the Later Tang Dynasty.
Right now, Fu Cunshen's cultivation base has reached the realm where he is only a step away from being a military general.
With such a cultivation level, and with the military general Kang Junli, to fight against Shangguan Qingcheng together, although there is still no hope of winning, at least they can hold their ground and will not be defeated soon.

In this way, Shangguan Qingcheng was held back by them, unable to realize his intention of quickly breaking through the formation before going to support Liu Dazheng.
The battle between the two armies fell into a temporary stalemate.
The Hedong army and the Pinglu army played all their cards and fought with all their strength. There would be no winner for a while. The stalemate on the battlefield formed a balanced situation.
At this time, if someone adds some weights to the other end of the balance, the balance may be broken immediately.
Outside Taiyuan City, is there such a weight
Of course there is.
On the watchtower of the Zhaoyi Army's camp, a dozen or so people gathered and were closely watching the battle situation of the Pinglu Army and the Hedong Army. The leading three were Kang Chengqian, the governor of the Zhaoyi Army, Xue Wei, the governor of the Tianping Army, and Liu Jingsi, the governor of the Henghai Army.
The expressions of the three people are not different, they all have a thoughtful and heavy look, a sense of righteousness and awe in wanting to save the difficult times, and a sense of helplessness with more than enough heart but not enough strength.
"The Pinglu Army and the Hedong Army are both well-trained elites who have been on the battlefield. The Pinglu Army is well-armed. Don't say that I can't wait, and it is obviously better than the Hedong Army. But the Shatuo soldiers in the Hedong Army, He has always been brave and died lightly...it is really hard to say who will win this battle."
The one who spoke was Xue Wei, Jiedu envoy of the Tianping Army. He stroked the beard on his chin that didn't exist, with a serious expression on his face.
After hearing these words, Kang Chengqian and the others nodded slightly in agreement.
Kang Chengqian said: "The Hedong Army is indeed a brave and brave generation. Before the Pinglu Army was in the front, we did not suffer much pressure. Now that we face it head-on, I know that the Hedong Army can be famous all over the world. It is not unreasonable. .”
When he said this, he kept looking at the camp of the Zhaoyi army. Over there, the Wanyu Hedong army stopped in front of the camp, blocking the Zhaoyi army's way to help the Pinglu army. The two sides were fighting fiercely.
Not only the camp of the Zhaoyi Army, but also the main route for the Tianping and Henghai armies to support the Pinglu Army was also blocked by the Hedong Army.
Only the main route was blocked, and it was the position where the three armies cooperated with the Pinglu Army to attack the Hedong Army from the flanks, and it was also the position that the Hedong Army was most afraid of.
The least number of the three armies was nearly 100,000, but now it was stopped by the more than 10,000 Hedong troops and could not advance an inch.
Liu Jingsi shook his head and sighed: "Li Keyong was ruthless. The soldiers of the Hedong Army are now working hard, and their combat power has risen by more than one level. However, our soldiers lost the commander of King An, their morale was low, and their combat power dropped by another level. This news Bichang, to break through the defense line of the Hedong army, it will take several times of soldiers and horses to attack day and night."
Xue Wei glanced at Taiyuan City, and thoughtfully said: "Taiyuan City is high and deep, and the city is tightly defended. Once such a fortified city is defended by a hundred thousand soldiers, it will take a million soldiers to take it down."
Kang Chengqian nodded in agreement.
The line of the three armies flanking the Hedong Army and responding to the Pinglu Army was blocked by the Hedong Army, and they could not launch effective support in time. Then attacking Taiyuan City and making the Hedong Army difficult to care about was the best way to cooperate with the Pinglu Army.
Such simple military strategy common sense, of course the three Jiedu envoys could see it.
But they did not launch an attack on Taiyuan City.
Just like their 100,000 troops cannot break through the blocking of more than 10,000 people.
Kang Chengqian rubbed his chin, with a sad expression on his face, and sighed: "King An is not here, Li Keyong can move freely on the battlefield without anyone to suppress him, and Liu Dazheng is no match for him. If this continues, the situation will collapse sooner or later. "
If the battle situation collapses, the next step is to retreat and run for their lives. At that time, whoever maintains a more complete military and combat power will have a better chance of retreating.
Kang Chengqian glanced at the crowd and saw that although they didn't speak, they all agreed with his words, so he continued: "Actually, in the current situation, our armed forces don't act rashly, which is the best support for the Pinglu Army. The current situation is roughly the same. Balance, we can still support it for a while, but if one of us acts rashly, suffers heavy losses, and loses first, it will be the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the ant's nest, and the entire battle situation will collapse."
If the soldiers and horses of the three towns want to quickly break through the obstruction of the Hedong army, or directly attack the city, they must use at least half of their combat power. And this combat power, no one can afford to lose.
Given the current situation, is it possible for them to suffer this loss? Does the Hedong Army have the ability to inflict this loss on them
Very unlikely.
But it's not impossible.
The potential possibility is Li Cunxiao.
If Li Cunxiao went to battle, he only needed to lead 5,000 elites, which would be enough to break through any one of the three armies and open the way for the Hedong Army to win. They couldn't stop them at all.
Although this risk was pitiful, Sanzhen was unwilling to take it.
If Li Ye was here, they wouldn't think about these at all, and would scramble to attack with all their strength.
But now that Li Ye is not here, they have no confidence in victory. Instead, the fear of failure is magnified, and they will only choose to hide and protect themselves.
Kang Chengqian, Liu Jingsi, Xue Wei and others were worried.
Worrying is not fake. They went to the east of the river in order to follow Li Ye to receive rewards for their meritorious service. The war had been going well before, so all the soldiers and horses of the three towns had already come out. At this moment, his wealth and life are all in Taiyuan City, but Li Ye doesn't know when he will show up again.
The three of them didn't say it clearly, but they all had the idea of retreating in their hearts.
Evacuate Taiyuan, evacuate Hedong.
...
The dome of the secret realm is always gloomy, with no sunlight coming in. There are mountains and waters here but there is no wind, and the atmosphere is so depressing that people feel uncomfortable all over.
At the west end of a stone bridge spanning the Baizhang River, five or six Buddhist monks were on their way. A few hours ago, they fought fiercely in a ruin and collected copper blocks after defeating their opponents. Now they are about to rush to the central area.
The head monk had a dark complexion, and he looked behind him with fear in his eyes. The Zilan power grid is only a few hundred steps away from them, and they must move away as soon as possible, otherwise they will not even have time to fight when they encounter the ruins.
The river is rushing, rushing to the stone bridge, the sound of the water is more clear to the ears. The swarthy monk glanced at both sides. This is a dangerous shoal with a large drop in the river. The terrain on both sides is also quite steep, with jagged rocks and verdant trees.
For some reason, the swarthy monk suddenly shivered, and he felt faint heart palpitations. But he didn't stop, instead he cursed himself secretly, a dignified Buddhist monk has a heart stronger than gold, how could he be distracted by the environment
However, the next moment, just as they approached the east end of the stone bridge, someone fell on their backs.
He fell because he was shot by a crossbow.
Crossbow bolts shot out from the strange rock pile and forest at the bridgehead.
Caught off guard, one of the monks died and two were injured.
Before the swarthy monk roared, there was a vigorous figure, following the crossbow arrows, like a sparrow.
After seeing the other party clearly, the dark monk's limbs were cold, his movements were stiff, and his eyes were full of horror.
The opponent is a monster monk!
There are fifteen or sixteen people!
The one in the lead, dressed in a black robe, hides a fierce murderous look in his calm brows and eyes, who is not Li Ye, the great enemy of Buddha Realm
