Chapter 247: Behead Dong Zhuo! Xu Fengnian offers land for rebellion!

In the raging fire in Shangfang Valley, Xu Yanbing watched Xu Xiao being burned to ashes and was unable to rescue him in time.

The Spring and Autumn Butcher, who had been a powerful figure for more than 30 years, wiped out the six kingdoms and killed four emperors, died on the battlefield as he wished.

The land immortal who achieved the great celestial phenomena of Confucianism has far more control over celestial phenomena than Xu Yanbing, a martial artist!

The entire Shangfang Valley had been burned into a living hell, with Beiliang soldiers with their armor on fire everywhere.

These soldiers howled and cried, but they could not change their fate of being burned to death.

At the two valley entrances, the corpses of the Beiliang army piled up like a mountain. The Modao team was already standing on the corpses of the Beiliang cavalry more than ten feet high, always guarding the valley entrance tightly!

Although the old soldiers with Modao swords were all third-rank warriors, the Beiliang cavalry were at the end of their rope at this point. If they could not break through, they would only die.

After discovering the terrifying fact that these old Modao soldiers were as strong as oxen and that the 80-jin Modao could cut through iron like mud, the Beiliang cavalry retreated again and again.

But as the fire spread in the valley, the soldiers in the rear once again pushed the soldiers in the front over.

"Kill! Kill them!"

"Either be burned to death or be hacked to death by a strange sword!"

"Come on!"

These Beiliang soldiers, who were so angry that they lost their temper, completely abandoned their horses and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the 80-jin Mo Dao.

The blood-soaked Mo Dao stirred wildly among the Beiliang soldiers, who fell one after another like wheat in autumn.

However, the Beiliang soldiers, who had no way to retreat, could surround and kill a fully armed Modao soldier at a cost dozens of times the cost.

Every time a Mo Dao soldier was torn to pieces by a Beiliang soldier, he was immediately replaced by another. The Mo Dao soldiers, with their gleaming cold light, did not let the defense line retreat a single step.

This battle is the toughest one the Modaozu have ever fought since their establishment!
Zhuge Liang knew very well that when surrounding an army, one must make do with a weak force. However, since Li Changan was short of troops, he could not let a single Beiliang soldier go.

The Modao soldiers knew this truth very well.

Zhang Kulong, the deputy general of the Mo Dao soldiers, had red eyes and roared angrily. As one of the fastest promoted Mo Dao soldiers, he is now a second-grade junior grandmaster.

"The Tang King's Mo Dao soldiers are here!"

"Invincible, fight to the death!"

"Under the sword, both the men and the horses are shattered!"

Zhang Kulong had long since removed the armor that was in the way, revealing a body full of knotty muscles. Veins bulged all over his body, and the criss-crossing scars were filled with the blood of the enemies!
Amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, this roar instantly ignited the military spirit of the Mo Dao soldiers, and the entire upper valley was filled with the roars of the Mo Dao soldiers.

"Invincible, fight to the death!"

"Under the sword, both the men and the horses are shattered!"

The ferocious Modao soldiers were as steady as Mount Tai, with the large banner with the word "Li" fluttering in the wind behind them. The sound of war drums rolled like thunder, and the surging murderous intent shook the mountains!
Round after round of strangling continued, and the Beiliang soldiers were gradually devoured by the Modao meat grinder and the raging fire of fighting against the enemy, and their vitality disappeared bit by bit.

When Xu Yanbing saw that Xu Xiao was dead, he was finally disheartened. He looked up at the expressionless young scholar in Shangfang Valley. He looked gentle and elegant, but his methods were no less than those of Xu Rentu in the past.

"Zhuge Liang, you are a Confucian scholar, but don't you fear the consequences of killing people like this?"

Among the three religions, Confucianism pays the most attention to the cause and effect of heaven and earth, and indiscriminate killing is absolutely prohibited.

But Zhuge Liang remained calm, "Stop the war and bring peace to the world. What is there to be afraid of?"

As he finished speaking, countless fireballs over ten feet in size attacked Xu Yanbing. The place where Xu Yanbing was was turned into scorched earth, leaving him nowhere to hide.

The fireball brushed past Xu Yanbing's gown again and again, until flames ignited all over his body.

Xu Yanbing's face changed drastically. It seemed that Zhuge Liang didn't want to spare his life. It seemed that Li Changan had never accepted any surrendered generals from Beiliang.

"Since you are so unreserved, I will fight you to the death!"

Xu Yanbing roared, held his spear in his hand, with the tip of the spear pointing at the overwhelming fireballs, and went against the trend, straight to the top of the valley!
His clothes and hair were burned by the high temperature. Xu Yanbing could even hear the sound of his skin exploding and smell the pungent smell of burning.

With a loud bang, Xu Yanbing's spear energy and Zhuge Liang's feather fan released energy collided violently, and two large chunks of the cliff at the top of the valley above were cut off again.

Huge rocks fell into the valley, crushing and killing countless Beiliang soldiers who were struggling in the flames. The entire Shangfang Valley was split into two parts because of these falling rocks.

The world will be in chaos after this battle. How could Zhuge Liang let a land immortal from Beiliang leave?

He used all his strength to display his magical power to fight the evil fire, even though wounds from the gunshot were gradually appearing on his skin.

In comparison, Xu Yanbing's situation was even more difficult in such a confrontation. His skin and flesh were burned by the flames, and the temperature was getting higher and higher!
Not long after, Xu Yanbing was completely engulfed by the huge fireball, leaving no trace of leakage!
Although some of Zhuge Liang's wounds were deep enough to see the bones, Xu Yan's soldiers were the first to collapse.

Xu Yanbing's hands and feet gradually lost consciousness in the severe pain, until his body was completely engulfed by the flames. In the blink of an eye, he turned into ashes just like Xu Xiao.

Zhuge Liang was covered in blood, but fortunately he was not seriously injured. Only half a day later, Shangfang Valley returned to its former tranquility.

In the military camp at the mouth of the valley, generals from various forces reported their battle results.

More than 500 of the 2,000 veteran Modao soldiers were killed, while the rest suffered basically no casualties. This ambush, which had been planned for a month, ended with a complete victory for the Shazhou side.

However, Zhuge Liang could not help but burst into tears after losing 500 battle-hardened 330-grade Modao warriors.

These old Modao soldiers all followed Li Changan out of Yongzhou. No matter whether they had just established a foothold in Yongzhou or fought a decisive battle with Xu Fengnian in Shazhou, although the Modao soldiers were few in number, they were the backbone of Shazhou.

Just like the ambush of Xu Xiao this time, the valley entrance was destined to be the direction of the Beiliang cavalry's desperate charge, but if the Modao soldiers did not go up, even if tens of thousands of infantry were sent, they might not be able to stop them.

Zhang Kulong knelt on one knee with red eyes. Since the establishment of the Modaozu, there has never been such a heavy loss.

"Don't worry, military advisor! Even if the Mo Dao soldiers fight to the last man, they will hold the line for His Royal Highness the King of Tang!"

Zhuge Liang stood up and helped Zhang Kulong up. "Go, go to His Highness."

"With Xu Xiao dead, Dong Zhuo's 200,000-man army is like a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth."

"Take the Mo Dao soldiers with you to accomplish this great cause that will be remembered for eternity!"

Afterwards, the Modao soldiers and 30,000 Shazhou infantrymen traveled day and night to the Yanjia Lake battlefield. As the closest troops to Li Changan, although they were infantry, they could also arrive quickly.

Zhuge Liang led the remaining 30,000 people and rushed back to Liangzhou. If Xu Fengnian learned that Xu Xiao was ambushed here, he might launch a large-scale attack on Liangzhou.

Including these 30,000 men, Zhuge Liang and Gu Dazu only had 60,000 men. But with the city to rely on, Zhuge Liang was confident that he could hold out until Li Changan defeated Dong Zhuo.

Two days later, at dawn.

On the south bank of Yanjia Lake, Dong Zhuo, Zhong Shentong, and Tuoba Chunsuan’s three armies of 200,000 people marched quickly.

Tuoba Bodhisattva was stationed in the north and sent his son Tuoba Chunsuan out to attack Li Changan together with the King of the Southern Court Dong Zhuo and the General Zhong Shentong.

In the central military tent, the Spider Web elites have delivered the latest intelligence.

Zhong Shentong sat high in the main seat, his face somewhat gloomy, "The Rouran cavalry was defeated, Xu Xiao is dead, Zhuge Liang's reinforcements have entered Li Changan's camp, and Li Cunxiao has also returned."

Dong Zhuo was the leader of this operation. He believed that although the current operation was not proceeding entirely as planned, it still had obvious advantages.

"General, Li Changan only has 70,000 men now, and Huo Qubing has not arrived yet. We have 200,000 men, so we are not afraid of them!"

Tuoba Chunshun was also eager to try, "General, two hundred thousand versus seventy thousand, almost three times the number! With such an advantage, how could our Northern Mang army be defeated before!"

Zhong Shentong pointed to the Rouran Mountains, "Li Cunxiao fought the Rouran Iron Cavalry, 30,000 for 100,000, Zhuge Liang ambushed Xu Xiao, 500 killed 60,000!"

"Li Changan's Black Armor Army and Mo Dao Soldiers are both capable of fighting. Do you two really think you are stronger than Gong Pu and Xu Xiao?"

Dong Zhuo sneered, while Tuoba Chunshun muttered, "Of course."

Zhong Shentong was annoyed for a moment. This second-generation rich guy was really arrogant. If it were your father, Tuoba Bodhisattva, I would have the confidence to do so.

Dong Zhuo made a straightforward suggestion, "General, the opportunity for battle is fleeting, now is the time to attack and destroy Li Changan!"

Tuoba Chunshun also echoed, "General, please give the order..."

Before he finished speaking, Tuoba Chunshun heard a roar, "Give your mother's order!"

"All troops, stand by and wait for another 100,000 troops to gather. Anyone who disobeys this order will be executed!"

The general was furious, and Dong Zhuo and Tuoba Chunyun could do nothing about it. They just couldn't imagine that such a supernatural being would get so angry.

Zhong Shentong has been in Beidi City. He is very clear about Li Changan’s every move and is also very familiar with the combat effectiveness of Li Changan’s army.

Especially this time when Xu Xiao's entire army was wiped out, Zhong Shentong was even more frightened. Facing such an opponent, how could he dare to be careless.

After all, Zhong Shentong's status and qualifications were there, so he immediately scolded the two juniors.

But something unexpected happened. A sudden horn sounded in the military camp!
"Woo..."

Immediately afterwards, a scout rushed into the military tent and said, "Report to the general, the Black Armor Army has attacked the camp!"

This news made Zhong Shentong stunned on the spot, and even Dong Zhuo and Tuoba Chunsuan, who advocated the attack, were confused.

There are 70,000 troops, half of which are infantry and half are cavalry. How dare they let the cavalry among them attack the camp of 200,000 troops?
This Li Changan is a little too bold.

However, since the enemy has arrived, we certainly cannot remain indifferent.

The wooden fence camp was no different from a piece of paper under the murderous aura of the Black Armor Army. We could not just sit there and wait to die.

Zhong Shentong immediately gave the order, "Vanguard Tuoba Chunsun, lead 60,000 wolf riders to meet the Black Armor Army!"

"King Dong Zhuo of the Southern Court, lead 60,000 tiger cavalry to attack the flank!"

Dong Zhuo and Tuoba Chunyun immediately received the order to call the troops, and the military camp suddenly became noisy.

Li Cunxiao led the cavalry back to the Yanjia Lake camp, rested for only one night, and then immediately mounted his horse to fight again. Speed ​​is of the essence in war, and it is entirely possible to catch the 200,000 troops of Beimang off guard before they can gain a firm foothold.

Sometimes war does not involve complicated calculations; it is just a competition of strength and grasp of timing.

Li Changan ordered Li Cunxiao and Huo Qubing to march quickly in order to seize the unexpected opportunity and gain the upper hand.

Huo Qubing will arrive in half an hour, and Li Changan doesn't want to wait any longer. Once Zhong Shentong and Dong Zhuo have set up their camp and the last 100,000 troops of Beimang have arrived, they will have to fight a war of attrition.

There are 150,000 troops under Xu Fengnian in Youzhou and Lingzhou. If the war drags on for a long time, even with Zhuge Liang, they will not be able to fight.

In front of Li Cunxiao, a black line suddenly appeared on the horizon. Although the black line was still a little messy, it was obvious that it had just come out of the military camp.

In the Beimang military camp, the deafening sound of war drums had just sounded, and the Beimang army began to surge like a black tide.

Tuoba Chunshun couldn't help but feel his blood boiling when he saw the Black Armor Army rushing towards him!

He is the son of the Northern Mang Military God, and now is the time to prove himself.

Li Cunxiao on the opposite side defeated the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Rouran Iron Cavalry. If he could defeat him, who would dare to say that Tuoba Chunyun came to power with the help of his father's protection!
His mount was a one-horned black wolf with protruding fangs. It was drooling clear, smelly saliva and staring grimly at the enemy in the distance.

"Warriors! The prosperous south is right before our eyes. If we destroy Li Changan, there will be no rivals in the Northern Mang!"

The Tuoba family has a very high prestige in the Beimang army. The son of the god of war personally leads the charge, and the morale of the Beimang soldiers is high!
"Charge! Kill the Nanman! Enter the pass!"

At the command, thousands of iron hooves began to gallop, and the Northern Mang army rushed towards the Black Armor Army like a flood.

The two armies were gradually approaching each other, and a long black dragon of fighting spirit had taken shape in the sky above the Xuanjia Army, while there was actually a black wolf in the sky above the Beimang Army!
Li Cunxiao licked his lips excitedly, as if a beast saw its prey!
These ferocious beasts formed by the fighting spirit are related to the evil spirit. When Xuanlong defeated the white dragon of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Now, if Xuanlong can swallow the black wolf alive, the evil spirit of his side will increase greatly!

What really excited Li Cunxiao was that Tuoba Chunshun's black wolf had obviously just stared and had just entered the celestial realm.

Sure enough, the long black dragon roared and rushed towards the black wolf, and the two cavalrymen collided with each other.

The reason why Tuoba Chunshun dared to release the war intention celestial sign was because he discovered that Li Cunxiao only had a few thousand black armored soldiers and did not bring any other cavalry.

With an advantage of more than ten times, Tuoba Chunsun is of course confident of victory.

But in fact, the most elite cavalry in Beimang was the Rouran cavalry, and the other cavalry were much inferior to the Rouran cavalry.

Li Cunxiao's more than 4,000 Black Armored Soldiers might not be able to disperse the 100,000 Rouran cavalry, but Tuoba Chunsun's 60,000 cavalry could easily disperse them.

As for Dong Zhuo's other 60,000 cavalry, the battlefield was so small and Tuoba Chunsun already had ten times the number, so Dong Zhuo's army could not even be deployed to the battlefield.

The long black dragon wrapped the black wolf layer by layer in a blink of an eye. The poor little black wolf cried miserably in the air, and its life would not last long.

Without much struggle, the black dragon swallowed the little wolf and then rushed into the army of Beimang.

In an instant, people and horses were thrown to the ground, countless people were killed and injured, and blood flowed like a river!
Li Cunxiao's Black Armor Army was like a sharp cone. They quickly killed their way through the Beimang Army, then turned around and charged at each other again!
After several rounds of fighting, Tuoba Chunsun realized how terrifying the enemy was. These black-armored soldiers were extremely powerful, and could kill six or seven people with one swing of their spears!
As the two sides were fighting fiercely, a white line appeared on the southern horizon.

Huo Qubing's White Horse Volunteers, Baiyi Guanyin's five thousand monks, and the sixty thousand cavalry behind them arrived at the battlefield.

At the same time, Huyan Dashan and the remaining 20,000 Tang cavalry also rushed out of the Yanjia Lake camp!
All the cavalry under Li Changan were now thrown into the battlefield!

The White Horse Volunteers approached the battlefield and drew their bows and shot arrows. The White Horse Volunteers, who were the best in the world in cavalry and archery, were best at riding and shooting on the march.

A rain of swords fell into Dong Zhuo's army, and Dong Zhuo's 60,000 troops also began to charge!

"Fuck, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

The cavalry of Dong Zhuo, the King of the Southern Court, has been in confrontation with Xu Xiao for a long time, and its overall combat power is slightly stronger than that of Tuoba Chunsuan.

A black war bear and Huo Qubing's white tiger were fighting each other, and it was difficult to tell who was better for a while!

The sun had just risen, and Li Changan's 100,000 cavalry and Dong Zhuo and Tuoba Chunsuan's 120,000 cavalry had already begun to charge on the grassland.

Zhong Shentong was on the high platform of the central army, watching the two battlefields of fighting with a frown on his face, and his expression became more and more serious.

"Sixty thousand Leopard Cavalry will be deployed to the battlefield to support the Tiger Cavalry and the Wolf Cavalry!"

He originally wanted to leave some troops to raid Li Changan's camp, but the scouts had already discovered that the Modao soldiers were already guarding the gate of the Yanjia Lake camp.

After knowing this news, Zhong Shentong completely gave up this idea. It would be better to put the manpower into cavalry battle and destroy Li Changan's cavalry as much as possible.

He looked at Tuoba Chunshun's battlefield. Although he suffered heavy losses, he nodded slightly. "The young master is indeed quite capable. If his opponent was not Li Cunxiao and the Black Armor Army, he would have won."

However, the Black Armor Army was too powerful. Tuoba Chunsuan's cavalry basically died at the first contact and were completely unable to put up any resistance.

Li Changan's Black Armor Army and Mo Dao soldiers were truly too terrifying.

On the other hand, although the combat power of Dong Zhuo's White Horse Volunteers is slightly weaker than that of the Black Armor Army, they are also third or fourth rank warriors, so it is no problem for them to fight one against five.

It seemed that the two sides were fighting back and forth, but the two ace troops, the Black Armor Army and the White Horse Volunteers, suffered basically no losses, and Zhong Shentong's nerves couldn't help but become more and more tense.

Li Changan's army of warriors was indeed worthy of its reputation. Tuoba Chunshun, covered in blood, finally understood why this kind of supernatural power was so cautious.

It is impossible to break into this Black Armor Army. No wonder they dare to call themselves the best army in the world. They really live up to their reputation.

At this moment, Tuoba Chunjun felt a fluctuation of breath behind him.

"Young man, don't look back, I am your Grandpa Li!"

Suddenly, a sinister laugh came from behind him. Tuoba Chunshun was frightened and immediately flew into the air to avoid it.

The spear's true energy burst out, and he fought with Li Cunxiao who was in the Tianxiang realm.

Both of them exuded terrifying murderous aura, and the aftermath of their true energy spread far and wide, making the cavalry charging on the ground dizzy.

Li Cunxiao and Tuoba Chunyun fought a few times and found that this kid was not a waste. After all, he had a good father and must have been learning martial arts since he was a child.

"Yes, yes, the son of Tuoba Bodhisattva is better than Xu Xiao's son."

Li Cunxiao was smiling when he said these words, which showed that he had plenty of strength to spare. However, Tuoba Chunjun was having a harder and harder time and was about to collapse.

He wanted to retort, but just as he was about to open his mouth, Li Cunxiao's lance was put to his lips.

"But now that I have met your Grandpa Li, I am afraid that Tuoba Bodhisattva will have one less son from now on."

Li Changan watched the war from afar and his heart gradually calmed down. The ordinary cavalry of Beimang was still inferior to the Rouran Iron Cavalry, and could not compare with the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Iron Pagoda.

With today's results, Li Changan has a clear idea of ​​how to completely defeat Beimang.

"Sweet potato, what's going on with Xu Fengnian?"

Hongshu took the intelligence he had just obtained and said with a puzzled look, "Xu Fengnian... turned around and attacked Hezhou."

After Xu Xiao died, Xu Fengnian did not attack Liangzhou to the west first, but attacked Hezhou in Liyang to the east.

Li Changan was slightly surprised, and he had a rough guess in his mind that the powerful existence he felt near the Beiliang Palace last time should be Luoyang.

This means that Xu Fengnian is awakening the memories and strength of his previous lives.

Then, it makes sense that Xu Fengnian temporarily avoided me and turned around to bully Li Yang.

Because with Beiliang's current strength, it is no longer possible to compete with Li Changan.

Hongshu continued, "Your Highness, King Yan Chi went north and encountered no decent resistance along the way."

"The secret report from the Jinyiwei in Tai'an City shows that many ministers in the court have been secretly in contact with Prince Yanchi."

The fragile Liyang Dynasty was immediately faced with internal and external troubles if it made a wrong decision.

The young eunuchs in Tai'an City did not care who was the emperor, as long as the person on the throne was surnamed Zhao and as long as the court was still Liyang.

If civil strife is unavoidable, he hopes it will end sooner rather than later so that a strong king can come to power and help the Liyang court stabilize the situation.

From this perspective, King Zhao Bing of Yan was stronger than Zhao Chun in all aspects. After all, he had fought in wars and knew the sufferings of the people.

The Qi-refining masters in the Imperial Observatory were similar to the young eunuchs and were unlikely to contribute to the civil strife in the Liyang Dynasty.

It seems that after this battle, the entire Liyang world will be in complete chaos.

Li Changan was originally worried that Xishu Road and Qingzhou might be ambushed by Li Yang because they did not have heavy troops. But now it seems that this is no longer possible.

Emperor Zhao Chun of Liyang is already overwhelmed and has no time to send troops to Qingzhou and Western Shu. He should first stop his own brother's massive army.

After a direct battle with the Northern Mang army for most of the day, Li Cunxiao directly killed Tuoba Chunsuan.

Although Dong Zhuo and Huo Qubing had the same level of cultivation, with the help of the Buddhist magical powers of White-robed Guanyin, Huo Qubing also successfully killed the famous King of the Southern Courtyard.

When General Zhong Shentong saw that defeat was imminent, he immediately sounded the call to withdraw his troops, and eventually retreated back to Nanjing City in Beimang with the remaining 70,000 to 80,000 troops.

After this battle, a large area of ​​land south of Beimang Rouran and west of Yanjia Lake belonged to Li Changan.

Together with West Shu and Qingzhou, Li Changan's territory has expanded three times!
Just when Li Changan was reorganizing the troops in the Yanjia Lake camp and preparing to return to Liangzhou, the Jinyiwei sent another message.

Xu Fengnian gave Youzhou to Beimang as a springboard for Beimang to counterattack Li Changan. His own army went straight to Hezhou and Yongzhou, with a tendency to occupy the north of Liyang.

"This prodigal son of a bitch gave away his father's land in the blink of an eye."

Li Changan cursed, but had to take this fact seriously. It seemed that he had to have a decisive battle with the main force of Beimang in the near future.

Even if he didn't look for the Northern Mang people, the Northern Mang Queen would still launch a massive attack.

After all, in the eyes of the empress, Li Changan's threat is far greater than Xu Fengnian and Prince Yan Chi!
