Chapter 99 Offensive and Defensive Against the Trend

Lihuo City at this time.

Xihuang General Mang You led his army to take a detour and approached the city. They had already been attacking for a day.

Li Qinglin did not come to the front line in person. The soldiers at the city gate worked hard, but in the end they were no match for the elites of the Western Wilderness. After one day and one night, the city was declared defeated.

Mang You led his army in, looked up to the sky and smiled: "Li Qinglin is nothing more than that! We overestimated him."

In fact, before this, as a famous general who had experienced hundreds of battles, Mang You had always been worried.

Because this invasion was so smooth.

Especially the border army... The guard general of the border army is of course Li Qinglin's absolute confidant. He has fought countless battles with them in Xihuang over the years and shed a lot of blood. Such a person surrendered without any dissatisfaction among the generals below. Even all the soldiers at the beacon tower were arranged in advance, allowing them to march straight in. It was very strange.

He also advised the prince to be careful, but the prince didn't listen much.

But it turned out that there was really no problem. The surrendered generals and soldiers also led them all the way. The ability to reach Hengshan County so quickly and this detour to raid Lihuo were all due to the leading party.

This time, Lihuo City was directly destroyed. What else could happen?

Lihuo City was also defended and defeated. Almost all the soldiers defending the city were killed and injured, and there was no suspicion that they had entered the city. As a famous commander in hundreds of battles, Mang You was very sure of this.

It was probably Li Qinglin who really disappointed the soldiers of the border army. It was because he was too preoccupied.

The Xihuang army entered the city on horseback, and the sound of horse hooves trampled the long street. Looking at the closed Lihuo City around him, Mang You smiled slightly.

Nanli is much more prosperous than Xihuang. In the future, this place may become the capital of Xihuang, but it will not be easily destroyed by troops. As long as he breaks the palace and captures Li Qinglin, he, Mang You, can be remembered in history as the leader who destroyed the country.

All the way to the palace, the palace guards had already fled, and the eunuchs and maids inside could be seen running around in panic. Seeing the approaching army, their cries were loud.

Mang You rushed in with his troops, but was quickly stunned.

There is an extremely broad square at the entrance, and at the end of the square are high stone steps. There is a dragon chair on the stone steps, and a figure sits quietly on it, looking down at the troops swarming in.

Mang You cautiously ordered the soldiers to spread out and guard the major roads. Thousands of archers were stationed in the square, collectively pointing their bows and arrows at the figure on the dragon chair.

After making sure everything was safe, Mang You held his own battle ax and slowly approached the stone steps with his generals and his army.

As I got closer, I could clearly see an old man in dragon robe sitting high above. He had an old face and a stooped figure, but he was holding a silver gun in his hand, and his eyes were piercing and unstoppable.

"Li...Li Qinglin?" Mang You's tone was quite shocking.

He himself was a veteran in his fifties... The sudden sight of a young and handsome opponent who had fought many times on the battlefield turned into a figure much older than himself, a veteran, was such a psychological impact. Indescribable.

I heard that he used some illusion to maintain his youthful appearance. Now is the illusion ineffective? Or does he not want to cover it up?

Mang You felt a little ominous in his heart.

"It is this king." Li Qinglin said with a smile, his voice was old but very loud: "Mang You, I didn't expect it was you instead of Mang Zhan who came here, very good, very good."

The ominous feeling in Mang You's heart became even stronger.

Although no matter how you look at it, Li Qinglin has no room for improvement, but his attitude is so weird, it feels like he, Li Qinglin, has won the battle.

Is this because he lost his mind and went crazy because of the destruction of the country?

He didn't say anything, he just cautiously let the generals surround Li Qinglin.

Li Qinglin didn't care that he was trapped in a tight siege, but still smiled and said: "Actually, as a famous general in hundreds of battles, you should have noticed something strange this time."

Mang You signaled the generals not to take action and said calmly: "No matter what the weirdness is, you Nanli has been destroyed, and you Li Qinglin are already a prisoner. You can still laugh. Could it be that the failure was too cruel and you lost your mind and went crazy?"

Li Qinglin looked up to the sky and laughed: "It is not certain that Nanli has been destroyed. It is true that Xihuang must be destroyed first."

…………

In Hengshan County, Ming He hung in the sky, watching the attack and defense of the city wall indifferently.

The endless corpses did not cause any ripples in her eyes. Her eyes focused more on Li Qingjun's bloody fighting figure.

Immortal cultivators rarely make promises because they are afraid of karma. But when Qin Yi left, he asked her to save Li Qingjun's life, and she agreed without even thinking about it.

Not to give Qin Yi face.

It’s not about admiring Li Qingjun.

Just because of that jade pendant.

That is a jade pendant with a lot of history... If Li Qinglin is not saved, Li Qingjun is the inheritor of that jade pendant. Her Central Heaven Divine Watchtower intends to sell a favor to the original owner of the jade pendant. This is what the master mentioned in the reply at that time. One of the contents.

It's just that her mood was a little complicated at this time.

She once went to the palace to communicate with Li Qinglin, originally intending to talk about the jade pendant, but she got a very unexpected answer.

This decisive battle in Nanli is far from being as simple as Li Qingjun thought.

When the attack and defense were intensifying, the troops in the Mang battle under the city suddenly became commotion. Within a moment, they suddenly shouted gold wildly, and the troops attacking the city retreated like a tide.

Ming He came with a secret sigh.

Li Qingjun looked out in astonishment from the top of the city, only to see that the Mang Zhan army was rapidly evacuating westward as if it had received some extremely important order, and even its marching formation was a little messed up.

Veteran Xie Yuan said happily: "Eldest Princess, you can pursue me!"

Li Qingjun frowned: "This retreat is too weird, could it be a trap?"

"It's not a trap." Xie Yuan said firmly: "This is the king's plan."

Xie Yuan's tone was very strange, seeming a little lonely and sad, but also a little respectful.

"The king's plan?" At this moment, Li Qingjun didn't feel angry about being deceived, but was a little surprised.

Sure enough, even if my brother is addicted to Taoism, he is still a famous general who fought on the battlefield in the first half of his life. When faced with such an important battle situation, he cannot just give two orders and complete the matter. There should always be some arrangements.

Was it really planned secretly?

She quickly rushed down to the city to organize the cavalry. As long as Nan Li is fine, what does it matter no matter how much he hides? She, Li Qingjun, doesn't fight for power. If her brother likes to take power, he can take it.

The city gate suddenly opened, and Li Qingjun took the lead, leading his army to sweep out of the city, like a sharp blade piercing through the back of the Western Wilderness army.

As expected, it was not a trap. The Xihuang army themselves did not know what was going on. They only knew that the prince urgently ordered to withdraw. The soldiers were at a loss and were unable to form an army. In an instant, they were rushed and turned upside down. Instead, they trampled on each other, causing countless casualties.

At the same time, the Nanli border troops who were originally sandwiched between the Xihuang army all turned against each other, and cooperated with Li Qingjun to cut the Xihuang army into countless sections.

The offense and defense were instantly reversed.

Li Qingjun was surprised and delighted, and led his men to chase him hundreds of miles away.

In the distance at the western border, smoke suddenly rose from the beacon tower. It was the Nanli border troops who were still being guarded in the border town and were blowing up the camp and re-fighting with the Xihuang guard for control of the pass. This was the beacon smoke lit by the Xihuang guard.

Li Qingjun looked at the wolf smoke from a distance and couldn't figure out how his brother did it.

Ming He, who was watching the battle from the air, sighed and turned his head to look in the direction of Lihuo City.

It seemed as if I could see the fire burning over there.
