After a dozen disciples of Monk Guangzhi retreated, the momentum of the Japanese Kou weakened, and although they had an advantage in numbers, they were constantly beaten back by the tolerance catch. However, after all, these Japanese are battle-hardened people, and although they are forced to retreat, they are not chaotic. And when retreating, every five people formed a team, each other was horns, cooperating with each other, holding the idea of only defending and not attacking, but in the blink of an eye, the situation was reversed. I saw that the Japanese were gathered in a circle, and the cold light of the long knife flickered, suppressing the momentum of the attack of the fast catch.

After Li Qiufeng killed a few Japanese robbers, he saw that the Japanese robbers took a few steps back, and then formed a formation of five people, no longer fighting on their own, and then trying to attack and kill the lone Japanese robbers, but it was impossible. There were several members of Shi Jiadao's gang who didn't know the strength of the Japanese army, and still rushed forward to attack, but they fell into the Japanese army's formation and were instantly slashed and killed by the Japanese invaders.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Ji Dingzhong hurriedly shouted loudly and shouted at the Shi Jiadao, Lei Fist Gate, and Biyunwu gangs to retreat. Both sides were exhausted at this time, and although the Japanese were fierce, they were also exhausted at this time, and when they saw the other side retreating, they also wanted to take the opportunity to take a breath, so they did not pursue later.

Seeing this situation, the lord of Shidao was in the middle of it, and he didn't wait for Yanagi Zongyan to order, so he shouted loudly. After listening to the order, the Japanese who attacked the main hall slowly retreated, and the Japanese who besieged the Tianshan faction also stopped attacking, and watched Daoist Min retreat under the stone steps of the main hall with the disciples of the Tianshan faction.

In the blink of an eye, each side retreated three or four feet away, and an open space appeared in the middle. But there were one hundred and fifty or sixty corpses lying in the open space, but the wounded had been snatched back by their respective companions.

This bloody battle lasted for more than an hour. Although neither side is a martial arts master, the fierceness of this fierce battle is definitely not under any fierce battle in the rivers and lakes. Ji Dingzhong stood on the top of the stone steps, seeing that although the Japanese retreated, there were still more than 500 people. I saw that the Japanese were all holding long knives, and the cold blades made people palpitate. There were only more than 200 people left on his side, and many of them were wounded. If the Japanese make a comeback, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist.

Huang Chong had also retreated to Ji Dingzhong's side at this time, and said in a low voice: "The Japanese have trapped us in the main hall, and if we want to rush out of the temple gate together, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky. Although the Taoist priests of the Tianshan faction were strong in martial arts, they fought hard and were still blocked by the Japanese invaders. At the moment, it seems that only by letting Li Baihu rush out and bring reinforcements can there be a glimmer of life......"

Before Huang Chong's words fell, Ji Dingzhong shook his head, glanced at Li Qiufeng, who was whispering to Yin Zhutou under the stone steps, put his mouth to Huang Chong's ear and said, "Jinyiwei is acting strangely, we must not guard against it." If the surnamed Li leaves, he watches from the wall, waiting for us to fight with the Japanese Kou and loses both, and then he stands up to clean up the mess, won't we suffer a big loss? And this kid is strong in martial arts, if he leaves, don't talk about that old ghost, even if he is a monk of Guangzhi, we can't stop him. ”

Huang Chong's face was worried, and he said, "That's what I said. But if no one comes to call for help, won't we be trapped here and die?"

Ji Dingzhong gritted his teeth and said: "Hu Kun, this bastard, said that he would send someone to hide near the left side of the Chenghuang Temple, and if he found that there was chaos in the temple, he would bring troops to help." However, we have been fighting hard with the Japanese Kou here for more than an hour, but the soldiers and horses of Ruyangwei are nowhere to be seen. Could it be that he has a bad heart and wants to kill us all by the hands of the Japanese Bandits?"

Huang Chong and Hu Kun had long secretly formed an alliance to join forces against the Nie family in order to protect themselves. At this time, listening to Ji Dingzhong scolding Hu Kun, he thought to himself, originally thought that the Nie family wanted to use the hands of the Japanese to wipe out all of our Lu, Zhao, and Du families. Looking at today's situation, the Nie family does have this intention. It's just that the situation suddenly changed later, so that the Nie family had to give up the original conspiracy and fight against the Japanese with the three of us. It stands to reason that Hu Kun should indeed rush here with three thousand iron horsemen, but this person has not shown up for a long time, is it really like Ji Dingzhong said, he has the heart to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and he will wait until the Japanese invaders slaughter everyone in the temple cleanly, and he will come forward to clean up the mess?

Thinking of this, Huang Chongji Ling Ling shuddered, and said in a trembling voice: "But Second Uncle Zhao and several elders of the Zhao family are also trapped in the temple with us. He is the patriarch of the Zhao family and Hu Kun's uncle. No matter how ruthless Hu Kun is, he can't watch Second Uncle Zhao and the others die at the hands of the Japanese Kou?"

Ji Dingzhong snorted and said, "No wonder Baixing said that your mother-in-law and mother can't make a big deal." Don't you know that over the years, Hu Kun has been in the officialdom from left to right, and has been promoted all the way, and he has long had different aspirations? Second Uncle Zhao is just a rich man, how could Hu Kun take him in his eyes? I am afraid that Hu Kun wishes that Second Uncle Zhao died one day earlier, and several other elders of the Zhao family have also disappeared from this world, leaving only him, Hu Kun, and he can rest assured and boldly show his strength in the officialdom. I originally thought that Hu Kun would not be in such a hurry to deal with the three of us, but now it seems that I am wrong. He made up his mind to watch a good show, and when we all died under the sword of the Japanese Invaders, he would bring people to destroy the Japanese Invaders, which was naturally a great achievement, enough to achieve his great cause. Alas, I only hate that we don't know what is going on, and we have made wedding dresses for others in vain. ”

Huang Chong knew that Ji Dingzhong had a lot of tricks, and in addition to trying his best to deal with the Xu family over the years, he was thinking about how to suppress the Lu, Zhao, Du, and Hua families, so that the Nie family would be dominant. It's just that he has never seen Ji Dingzhong so depressed, Huang Chong's heart was shocked, and he said in a trembling voice: "Can we just wait for death?"

Ji Dingzhong said: "The Japanese are not fools, they didn't subdue us, and they didn't want to fight to lose both." Looking at their appearance, they must have thought something else. We just need to delay as much time as possible, even if Hu Kun, a bastard, has not made a move, but Jinyiwei can't watch the Japanese invaders? The kid surnamed Li said that there were reinforcements, and I estimated that the reinforcements he was talking about were Jinyiwei. We might as well deal with the Japanese and wait for the opportunity for people to rush out of the City God Temple for help, while staying in the main hall and waiting for the situation to change. It's not us who are in a hurry at the moment, but the Japanese corates. No matter how fierce these dog thieves are, this is not the southeast coast, but the hinterland of the Central Plains. There were still more than a thousand defenders in the city, and quite a few garrisons outside the city. ”

When Ji Dingzhong said this, he paused slightly, glanced at Huang Chong, and then said: "In addition, the old nun and Huang Xu's niece also said that the soldiers and horses of Gui Dewei and Suiyang Wei are also approaching Xiuwu County. Fang Cai Yun Zhongzi, a big traitor, reported to the old ghost of the Japanese Kou, and naturally told the two guards and horses about coming in a big way. As long as we go down, the Japanese are afraid that there will be no way to escape after the officers and soldiers arrive, so they will have to retreat. ”

Huang Chong heard what Ji Dingzhong said was quite reasonable, so he relaxed slightly. It's just that he inadvertently saw more than 30 corpses of Shi Jiadao, Lei Fist Gate, and Biyunwu Gang in front of the temple gate, and he was shocked in his heart. Thinking that the Shi Family Knife and Thunder Fist Gate, which had been operated by the Lu family for many years, were almost wiped out, Biyunwu, which was originally a strong reinforcement of the Du family, also disappeared. The losses in this battle were heavy, even if the Japanese retreated, I was afraid that the Nie family would still refuse to let go of themselves afterwards. Thinking of this, his heart was cold, and he couldn't help but look at Huang Xu who was standing not far away. I saw Huang Xu, Yuan Jue and other nuns of the Kule Nunnery standing together, holding a long sword in their hands, confronting the Japanese Kou. It's just that she will sneak a glance at Li Qiufeng from time to time, and then lower her head again. Huang Chong knew that his daughter had a secret affection for this Jinyi Wei Baihu surnamed Li, and his heart was sour, secretly thinking that he was dead and nothing, if Huang Xu was left alone to suffer in this world, it would be even more uncomfortable than cutting him with a thousand knives. In an instant, he secretly made up his mind that even if he didn't want his life, he would think of a way to let Huang Xu escape from the City God Temple.

Li Qiufeng retreated to the bottom of the stone steps, and saw Yin Zhutou and Master Feng standing on the side, panting to himself, his face was full of sweat, and he knew that under the fierce battle between the two, his physical strength was extremely exhausted. It was because he walked to Yin Zhutou's side, planning to help Yin Zhutou resist when the Japanese invaded again. Yin Zhutou knew Li Qiufeng's kindness, and was moved in his heart, and said: "Thank you for your care, the villain is grateful." ”

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "Li originally thought that these brothers of the Yamen would not dare to fight against the Japanese Kou, but the fierce battle just now really impressed Li. Although we didn't win the war, the Japanese didn't take advantage of it. If it weren't for the fact that everyone would not retreat, I am afraid that Li would have died under the sword of the Japanese Kou now. ”
