Wang Yanzhang withdrew his troops, the Liang army retreated like a tide, and the Hundred Battles Army did not pursue too far, and the army basically stopped when it reached Li Congjing's side. At present, although the Liang army has been defeated for a while, but the loss is not too big, and the various departments have not been defeated to the point of a thousand miles, there are still tens of thousands of horses in their own formation, if the hundred battle army pursues and kills in front of the Liang army's main formation, the Liang army still has the strength to kill a horse gun, and then I am afraid that it will not be the Liang army that suffers.

When Li Congjing ordered all his troops to stop the pursuit, the sound of golden gongs sounded in the main formation of only 2,000 soldiers, which was Guo Chongtao ordering for him, ordering the army to stop advancing and prepare to collect troops. Li Congjing glanced back at the watchtower, and bowed his head slightly from a distance of several miles.

In this battle, the hundred battle army faced three times the enemy, still won the battle, if the opposite lord is a mediocre general, it is not surprising, but the commander of the Liang army is Wang Yanzhang, it is this victory, it is extremely precious. Since Wang Yanzhang's expedition, the undefeated golden body was broken for the first time, which made the Hundred Battles Army jubilant.

The army gathered its troops and retreated to the watchtower. After a tragic and fierce battle on the battlefield, at this time the corpses are all over the ground, although it is not to bleed, but it is also bloody and abnormal, the broken flag in the sunset is obliquely inserted in the pile of corpses, and the weapons are silent together, although the fighting has stopped, the breath of slaughter is still there. The soldiers of both sides hugged each other and died, and with their young lives, they drew an end to today's great battle.

After the Hundred Battles Army re-arrayed, nearly 20,000 armored soldiers looked solemn, at this time silence is better than sound, Li Congjing rode his horse slowly back from the battlefield, slowly passed through the middle of the military formation, and examined his soldiers one by one on horseback, with a smile of relief and pride on his face. He is proud enough, because this seemingly impossible victory was fought for him by the soldiers he brought out single-handedly. Greeted by Wan Dao's blazing eyes, Li Congjing could read the eager meaning, this is a man's blood, it is a warrior's feelings, and there is nothing stronger in the world than this. The sunset is not too dazzling, the neatly lined up military formation, at a glance, the cold and solemn military formation, at this moment seems to be rushing a surging heat current, to melt people's hearts in this summer twilight.

Starting from Weizhou, Li Congjing began his career of fighting alone with 500 people, building an army in Qimen, at the beginning he had 3,000 soldiers, but only 2,000 people, he said to Li Cunqing: A hundred soldiers are strong, so I want to build a hundred battle army. After Zelu Huaimeng fought several battles, the Hundred Battles Army never lost, not so much because of Li Congjing's planning, but because of the soldiers' strength. From 2,000 to 20,000 people, the Hundred Battles Army not only completed a quantitative leap, but also completed a qualitative transformation, Li Congjing's strength became stronger and stronger, and the burden on his shoulders became heavier and heavier.

These people, they are life and death with him, advance and retreat together, and stand up from the pile of corpses again and again, which is the real life and death. is deeper than the hand of the son, and the love of children who grow old with the son is deeper. These people, he has long regarded them as his brothers, brothers who live and die together.

Li Congjing couldn't help but stop the footsteps of the war horse, silently looking at the faces in front of him, in the aftermath of this great victory, he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Eleven years ago, he was just an ordinary person, running around and working hard for a bowl of rice in the bustling and lively city, and sometimes had to lower his head to be a man. Who would have thought that eleven years later, he would lead an army of 20,000 people to defeat the dazzling generals of this era?

He was not a woman with the kindness of a woman, otherwise he would not have been where he is today, but he was not a ruthless person, and at some times, he was even a little sentimental, especially when he traveled to this strange world and walked alone.

None of that matters anymore. Because now he's standing here.

Tens of thousands of faces in front of him, familiar or unfamiliar, greeted their gaze, and Li Congjing's heart was full of admiration.

I don't know who shouted loudly first, and then everyone punched their chests in unison, and in the dull and loud sound of armor, they let out their earth-shattering screams. The shouts of 20,000 people were so neat and so shocking that even the twilight clouds above their heads were blown away, more powerful than any roar of the previous battle.

They were shouting: "The commander is mighty! ”

"The commander is mighty!"

"The commander is mighty!"

"The commander is mighty!"

“……”

This is the voice of 20,000 people.

Li Congjing dismounted, faced the whole army, punched his chest fiercely, and saluted.

Needless to say, that's enough.

20,000 soldiers responded with a military salute with a bang.

- "Hundred Battles, mighty! ”

……

Guo Chongtao, who was looking upstairs, suddenly lost his mind when he saw the scene in front of him.

At the same time as him, there was also Wang Yanzhang, who was a few miles away and looking upstairs in the Liang army's array.

The shouts of the Hundred Battle Army resounded across the riverbank, spread for several miles, and naturally reached Wang Yanzhang's ears. After losing his mind slightly, Wang Yanzhang leaned on the railing and let out a sigh, and said to a general beside him: "The army's heart is neat, the morale is boiling, if the commander and the soldiers are one, such an army is rare in the world." No wonder you lost at their hands the previous time, but you really weren't wronged at all. The old man thought that I had already attached great importance to Li Congjing, but he never thought that he still underestimated him. Today's defeat without complaints. ”

The general next to Wang Yanzhang is Dai Siyuan, compared to Wang Yanzhang's calmness, he always has a little worry between his eyebrows, and then said: "The Hundred Battles Army is indeed not to be underestimated, but if you want to say that Li Congjing really has the ability to reach the sky, it is not enough." The old general's defeat today is just a small loss, and he will fight again in the coming day, and with the strength of our army, he may not be able to drive the hundred battle troops out of here in one fell swoop. ”

Wang Yanzhang touched the beard on his chin, shook his head slightly, and said: "The Hundred Battles Army defeated Duan Ning first, and today defeated the old man, and the momentum has climbed to the peak for a while, and it is not easy to win in a battle tomorrow." ”

Speaking of Duan Ning, Dai Siyuan was angry, "When leading the army westward to meet the Hundred Battles Army, Duan Ning swore that he would rather come to see him if he was defeated. But what happened? Leaving behind tens of thousands of troops, he almost returned to the camp alone, and was so defeated that he even said with a shy face that the Hundred Battles Army had reinforcements, and they copied the back road, so they had to be defeated. That's it, this guy even dared to ask the old general, why did the reinforcements of the Hundred Battles Army appear behind him, and why did the old general let Li Cunqiao's army pass under his nose, but didn't ask! The blame for the defeat was put on the old general. It's unheard of to use strong words and reverse black and white to such an extent! ”

After that, he was still angry, and said angrily: "When the defeated army returns from the day, the old general should not ask the reason, but first correct the law, so that he is still angry now, which is really infuriating!" ”

Wang Yanzhang's face was not good-looking, and at the end, he was full of grief and indignation, but he could only turn into a sigh, and looked at the hundred battles army opposite: "In the territory of the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, now there are countless good generals, good ministers are everywhere, and the country is getting stronger and stronger, but it is my Great Liang Dynasty, the villain steals a high position, and the traitorous ministers are in charge, blinding the saints. Hit the wooden fence fiercely, and said: "When this great victory returns to the court, Duan Ning, the general of the defeated army, and the traitors in the court will be killed to repay the kindness of the first emperor!" ”

Seeing Wang Yanzhang like this, Dai Siyuan was also desolate in his heart, and felt unhappy for Wang Yanzhang, but some words were destined to be unspeakable: although the old general was nominally an envoy to the north, but in fact there were a lot of constraints in the army, so he said that Duan Ning, relying on flattery to His Majesty's close ministers, deceived His Majesty's trust, and always opposed Wang Yanzhang in the army. This time, Duan Ning suffered a defeat and made a military order, Wang Yanzhang couldn't kill him, so he could only hope that after the big victory, he would return to the dynasty with military merits, and it would be possible to bring down those villains.

Dai Si looked at the sky and sighed, and his heart was inexplicably sad. With such a court, there is still medicine to save, and such a country can still resist the Tang army's attacks again and again?

As soon as this thought came out, it was suppressed by Dai Siyuan. He looked at Wang Yanzhang, who had gray hair, his upright posture, and a stream of heat surged in his heart. In any case, as long as the old general is still there, the Great Liang Dynasty may not be hopeless!

……

Mo Li didn't really kill Guo Chongtao's goatee staff, to give Li Congjing a flag, although he has an uninhibited temperament and acts in the style of Wei and Jin, but he is not a person who ignores the overall situation, killing that staff, Guo Chongtao must not be able to get over on face, which is not conducive to Li Congjing's relationship with him, what he said at the time was just a threat.

At this time, Mo Li, Guo Chongtao and others went down to the watchtower to greet Li Congjing, and as soon as they looked at him, Guo Chongtao took Li Congjing's hand and said three times in admiration, and the goatee staff was also a great talent of General Li.

Li Congjing couldn't help but boast, and said with a smile: "Wang Yanzhang's defeat today is just a small loss for the Liang army, and the loss is only in the thousands, I expect that Wang Yanzhang will definitely fight again tomorrow, and at that time, it will still be a big battle." ”

In the next few days, Wang Yanzhang sent a large army to fight every day, attacking from all sides, and the hundred battle troops under the command of Li Congjing met the enemy on all sides, and killed the Liang army every day. As the war progressed, the casualties increased a lot, but the Liang army was never able to capture the military city, which was just a paper tiger-like military city at the beginning, and gradually gained the power of a real tiger. As a result, Wang Yanzhang's battle was even more difficult. But this can't stand Wang Yanzhang's large number of people, and with Wang Yanzhang's scheduling, the morale of the Liang army has not been depressed, seeing that the army city is in danger, all units of the Hundred Battles Army are fighting to the death under the leadership of Li Congjing and other generals.

A large army set out from Yang Liu and went straight to the east bank of Bozhou, where the military city was located. This army was personally led by Li Cunqing, and was sent to support the military city at the request of Li Congjing and Guo Chongtao. But because the river was blocked by the Liang army, they could only walk on foot, which was undoubtedly much slower, which made Li Cunmiao worry all the time.

"The letter I received the day before yesterday said that the army led by Wang Yanzhang had as many as 50,000 or 60,000, and the army of a hundred battles was only 20,000 people. Li Shaorong said beside Li Cunxuan, "In the past two days, there has been no news from the military city, I am afraid that Wang Yanzhang has surrounded the military city on all sides, but I don't know if the military city has been captured." ”

Li Cunqiao rode on the horse and was silent, he was also anxious in his heart, after all, what is Wang Yanzhang's means, he has been fighting with the other party for more than ten years, he knows best, even he has to be cautious in the face of Wang Yanzhang, let alone Li Congjing, a child who has not yet reached the crown?

The more he thought about it, the more his heart burned.

"Needless to say, order the army to follow behind, and give the order from Ma Zhi and me first!" In the end, Li Cunqiao gave this order.

"Your Majesty, this must not be, Wang Yanzhang's army is in front, in case he sets up an ambush in the middle of the road?" Li Shaorong hurriedly advised.

Li Cunqiao waved his horsewhip and galloped away, "I can't care about so much, if the military city is broken and the hundred battle troops are gathered and annihilated, Wang Yanzhang will be able to go directly to Yunzhou, and then the big event will be over!" ”

Li Shaorong had no choice but to ride his horse to follow, thinking anxiously in his heart: Li Congjing, Li Congjing, my brother is watching you in Weizhou, this time you have to resist me......

At dusk, we finally arrived at the riverbank.

Running out of the forest road, Li Cunqiao restrained his war horse and looked ahead, unable to hide the shock on his face.

Li Shaorong was puzzled for a while, and hurriedly stepped forward, and when he saw the thing in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned.

A majestic city is like a giant tiger, lying low on the flat ground.

In front of the city, there was a tidal retreat of the Liang army.

At the head of the city, the banner of the Hundred Battles Army fluttered lightly.
