Chapter 642

A moment later, the two armies gathered under Longnan City.

Xue Rengui came out with Fang Tianhua halberd in his hand, and his soldiers lined up behind him with extraordinary momentum.

Li Chugeng's eyes swept over Xue Zi's big flag flying in the wind, and his eyebrows suddenly, and there was an assistant general's low voice beside him.

"General, this man may be Xue Rengui of the Tang Dynasty. In all probability, this army is the Zhuque army. However, the Zhuque army is not stationed in Xueyuan. How can it suddenly come to Longnan City?"

Invisibly, the voice of the deputy general trembled slightly.

Since the Suzaku army leader who was originally stationed in Xueyuan fortress is coming here, does it mean that they are facing the main enemy force.

Li Chugeng's brows were locked, and he thought about all the causes and consequences in his mind, but he couldn't figure out why Xue Rengui came here.

Generally speaking, the main general of the enemy should attack Linxi City, which is the most powerful city to guard. Let the deputy general attack the main city of the enemy. What do the generals of the Tang army think.

Li Chugeng didn't know that there were many people who were good at fighting in the Tang army, such as Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and Guo Jia. Their abilities were better than those of Xue Rengui.

At least, in command ability, it must be better than these people in the Northern Song Dynasty.

"It's Xue Rengui of the Tang Dynasty."

After thinking about it, Li Chugeng decided to confirm the identity of the other party. If Xue Rengui really came here, he decided to hold him back. Even if Longnan City was broken, Linxi city on the other side should be able to defeat the enemy. When the time comes, he would be able to keep Xue Rengui in the Northern Song Dynasty.

"It's general Ben who disobeys the sky and disturbs our border. How long will it be before you surrender quickly?"

"Ha ha, the curfew talk like crazy. Look at the knife."

With consideration in his heart, Li Chugeng naturally didn't talk much nonsense. At the moment, his body was in a flash, and the long knife in his hand was flashing blue light.

Xue Rengui let out a big or small sound, Fang Tianhua swept the halberd, only heard a loud bang, Li Chugeng's body directly flew out.

"Longnan garrison general is just like this."

As he spoke, Xue Rengui let out a loud drink, and his body burst. Fang Tianhua's Halberd chased Li Chugeng and attacked him.

For a time, Li Chugeng was only able to dodge and defend. He was terrified at the loss of one and the other.

Other generals were stunned when they saw Li Chugeng.

It's all Yuanying realm. How can there be such a big gap? It's not like a level of battle at all.

They didn't know that the generals of the Tang Dynasty were carefully trained by Li Xian from top to bottom. Every step of the cultivation process was perfect and the materials used were the best. In the long run, the combat effectiveness was naturally higher than the same level.

What's more, Xue Rengui is the best among them, and his fighting power is naturally extraordinary.

"Bang bang!"

"Bang bang!"

"Bang bang!"

Xue Rengui beat Li Chugeng back and forth like a magic soldier. The generals of Longnan City wanted to help, but they didn't want to. Several generals of the Tang army came out to meet him, and they didn't lose the wind.

"The whole army went out to cover the general."

With an order, the soldiers of Longnan City rushed over. They all knew that it was only a matter of time before Li Chugeng was defeated in the long run. Since the enemy general was strong, it was common sense to use the military array to win.

Who knows, the speed of the defeat of the soldiers in Longnan City is incredible.

"Withdraw and return to the city."

In the air, Li Chugeng was shocked at the war situation.

At this moment, he understood why the Tang army dared to attack at the same time. He was absolutely confident.

This kind of combat effectiveness, this kind of cooperation, is also the reason why there is such a big gap between the armed forces.

Hearing Li Chugeng's words, the soldiers of Longnan City began to retreat in a hurry. However, the Tang army would not let them leave easily. They hid and charged all the way. When they returned to the city, the loss was more than one third.

"General, what should we do now?"

In the city, all the soldiers, including Li Chugeng, were in a mess. If the monks on their side were not stronger, it would be very difficult for them to return to the city.

"Guarding the city, it's not easy for them to attack the city. We..."

Li Chugeng's words have not been finished.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

With the violent explosions, the whole Longnan City was shaking. Li Chugeng's face changed greatly. He didn't know what had happened.

"The general is not good. The wall is broken."

A soldier came running in a panic and said.

"Fart, how can..."

For a moment, Li Chugeng couldn't help saying something rude, but when he looked around, a huge crack in the city wall was clearly visible.

Naturally, they didn't know that there was another thing called gunpowder in the Tang Dynasty.On the other side, Yue Fei looked at the huge crossbow beside him and nodded.

This is a siege weapon invented and made by Ou Yezi. It can launch huge arrows. Later, it was improved and blended with gunpowder to become this kind of siege weapon that can launch rockets.

If it wasn't for the trouble of assembling this huge crossbow, it would be almost invincible to attack the city with this thing.

This happened at the same time in Linxi and Tian'an, and even their rout was faster than that of Li Chugeng. After all, they were not ready to be attacked from the beginning, and they didn't react at first.

Relying on the power of the bed crossbow, the army of the Tang Dynasty almost defeated the three outposts of the Northern Song Dynasty. In this way, the whole Northern Song Dynasty could be said to be open.

The Tang army, who had captured the three cities, did not have much rest. Apart from leaving some people to deal with the aftermath, all of them immediately set out again to reach Bianliang.

The core tactics of the war was surprise and power suppression. The trend of the war was suppressed on the tactical level as far as possible, which greatly weakened the strong advantage of the Northern Song Dynasty.

After all, no matter how many practitioners there are, they can't be more than generals. Under this kind of divided attack, the choice of Northern Song Dynasty was very difficult. It was a big problem whether to hit the power to attack all the way or to defend separately.

It's a pity that although Xue Rengui and Guo Jia were almost at their wits' end and took all the possibilities into consideration, the news of the Tang Dynasty's attack on the three cities still reached Zhao Kuangyin's ears and did not really surprise him.

At this time, in Bianliang City, Zhao Kuangyin didn't seem to be in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, don't you let them do it?"

Zhao Pu couldn't see through Zhao Kuangyin's arrangement at the moment. Originally, according to his imagination, the shadow attack gate ambushed in the snow should have taken the Tang army's city in the snow with the army. How could it have done so many things.

However, Zhao Kuangyin was not moved and said with a smile, "don't worry, it's not the time for a decisive battle." ..
