From eunuch to emperor

Monk Deshan had no choice but to turn around and take a slap.

boom!

Deshan felt that the cold was accumulating in his body, and his hands and feet were not as flexible as before.

After Long Chen struck out a palm, he simply abandoned his knife and fought with his bare hands. Two palms fell again and again, Deshan turned around and flew up, over the heads of the monks, and fled westward with great strides.

"Ran?"

Di Lingyi didn't expect that Deshan, the chief general, would leave the army and flee.

The besieging monks didn't expect Deshan to escape, and the supervisor Fuhai was also dumbfounded.

"The abbot... ran away?"

Di Lingyi knew that he couldn't catch up, and the anger in his heart was cast on the heads of the besieging monks, and he turned around and killed a large number of monks.

Long Chen fixed his eyes on the supervisor Fu Hai, flew to his side, and took him down!

"Deshan ran away, and he still hasn't surrendered!"

Fu Hai pleaded: "I surrender, please spare my life..."

Long Chen held Fu Hai and shouted: "Surrender to avoid death!"

Most of the monks and soldiers were unwilling to surrender, turned around and ran out of Chiyan Temple.

The battle was still underway at the foot of the mountain, Long Chen escorted Fu Hai to the front of the formation, and shouted: "Deshan has escaped, you still haven't surrendered!"

Di Lingyi put the knife on Fuhai's neck, and cursed: "Don't talk, wait to cut your tongue!"

Fu Hai shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "The abbot has escaped, please surrender..."

The Chiyan Temple was burned, Fuhai was arrested, the general fled, and the Xixia army began to collapse, fleeing westward one after another.

At the foot of the mountain, Wu Jian led the army to attack up the mountain. It was very difficult to start the attack, and the two sides fought terribly.

Every step forward, some brothers fell.

After killing for a while, the Xixia army began to turmoil in the rear, and then another Xixia army fled.

"My lord succeeded!"

Wu Jian was overjoyed, and he let go of his hands and feet to charge with all his strength. The Xixia army was defeated like a mountain, and they fled westward one after another.

In half a day, the Chiyan Temple was breached, and Zhang Qian and Dugu Jiali led the cavalry and cavalry to hunt for more than ten miles before returning.

"Da Zhu Kingdom, Princess, we have won this battle!"

"Thanks to Dazhu Kingdom's ingenious plan, they sneaked into Chiyan Temple."

"It's a pity that old bald donkey Deshan ran away."

The battle was won, and all the soldiers were very happy.

"I also had a temporary idea, and I wanted to attack head-on."

On the way of marching, he saw two Xixia waiting riders, Long Chen arrested them, and disguised them as waiting riders with Di Lingyi.

This is a dangerous move, if it is seen through, Long Chen and the two will face the situation of tens of thousands of people besieging.

Fortunately, he finally got into Chiyan Temple, entangled Deshan, and finally forced Deshan to escape, and Xixia's command system collapsed.

"Let everyone take a break. After two hours, attack westward and occupy the vicinity of Zhenguo Temple."

"My lord, the Zhenguo Temple has been burned by us, what's the use of occupying it?"

Major General Leng Yu didn't understand.

Zhenguo Temple used to be a place where Xixia hoarded supplies, and it was still useful to occupy it. Now that the ruins have been burned, it is meaningless to occupy it.

"Zhenguo Temple is very important. That place is located next to the road and can control the passage of Xixia to the east."

"Besides, what we burned were temples and camps, and their fortifications are still there. We can repair them a little and use them as a military stronghold."

Deshan built a lot of forts in Zhenguo Temple, but unfortunately no one was defending them at that time, Long Chen took advantage of the loopholes.

"Okay, take a break and set off immediately."

Di Lingyi ordered that all the soldiers should rest quickly.

...

Two hundred miles to the east of Xingqing City, Tuzhi was advancing with 20 barbarian cavalry.

After receiving Long Chen's letter, Tuzhi immediately assembled his troops and entered the hinterland of Xixia from Yuncheng.

Along the way, the barbarians broke through cities, destroyed military strongholds, and burned, killed, and looted.

"Shan Yu, this trip has yielded a lot."

A burly tribal leader laughed.

He invaded the hinterland of Xixia for the first time, and it was very enjoyable.

Tu Zhi was not so optimistic. Long Chen made it very clear in the letter that if he found Shi Le's army, he would immediately retreat back to the grassland.

In the spring war, the elite barbarians had almost finished fighting. They just relied on the large number of people and the poor defense on Xixia's side.

If there was a head-on war with Shi Le, Tuzhi would definitely not be able to fight.

"Is there any news about the waiter?"

Tuzhi asked back.

"Not yet, should be back soon."

Before the leader could finish speaking, Hou Qi came back.

"Shan Yu, the general of Xi Xia has returned to help."

Tu Zhi made a decisive decision: "Retreat, go north, and go back from Yuncheng."

The leader felt a little unsatisfactory, and said, "Shanyu, Xingqing City is right in front of you, and there are countless gold and silver treasures there."

Tuzhi shook his head and said: "Shile's 20-odd army is not vegetarian, we will not confront them head-on, retreat!"

The 20 barbarian army turned their horses and retreated northward.

southeast side.

Shi Le and Kong Ji led the army to attack overnight, and everyone was exhausted.

Kong Ji followed Shi Le, but he was always worried about the battle in the direction of Jade Buddha Pass.

I hope Deshan can hold on until the army returns to help.

Monk Kongji secretly sighed in his heart.

Shi Haoran and Lu Qichang were drowsy on horseback, Monk Kongji reminded them in a low voice, and they cheered up and continued to move forward.

Hou Qi rushed back and reported, "Your Majesty, the barbarian army has retreated northward."

Upon hearing this, Shi Le breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Are you sure?"

Hou Qi replied: "Sure, it has already traveled north for more than a hundred miles."

Shi Le stopped, and his attendant handed him a water bag.

Shi Le took a sip and gave the war horse another sip. He was too tired.

Being led by the nose by Long Chen and running for a few days, he barely rested, his body was already at its limit.

"Rest in place!"

Shi Le dismounted, the guards set up the tent, and Kong Ji, Shi Haoran, and Lu Qichang entered the tent to discuss.

"It turns out that the barbarian's attack was just a feint."

Shi Haoran felt that he had been tricked again.

Lu Qichang said: "No, if we don't come back to help, the barbarians will really invade the royal city."

"We have returned to the army. The barbarians retreated when they saw that the situation was not good."

Shi Le nodded and said: "That's right, Long Cheng'en created a dilemma. If you return the aid, you will give up the Jade Buddha Pass. If you don't return the aid, you will give up the Royal City."

Monk Kong Ji said: "Your Majesty, the crisis in the royal city has been lifted, and the poor monk requests to return to the Jade Buddha Pass. Long Chengen will definitely attack while the poor monk is away, and I'm afraid that the younger brother will not be able to defend it."

Shi Le waved his hands and said, "Can they still run?"

The people and horses were already exhausted, even if they knew that Long Chen was going to attack, they could only leave after resting.

Monk Kongji had no choice but to sigh, "I'm afraid...I'm afraid Long Chengen has already succeeded."

Everyone was silent.

The army rested on the spot for a day. After recovering their physical strength, Shi Le and Kong Ji reorganized the army and headed towards Jade Buddha Pass.

The general is fine, but the soldiers below were tortured half to death, and they all scolded Kong Ji for being incompetent.

The cavalry could ride horses, and the infantry who didn't have horses felt like their legs were going to break.

"Running around with the bald donkey, my feet are worn out."

"I have changed several pairs of straw sandals, and my feet will be useless if I run again."

"Give me a horse and it's about the same."

Monk Kongji knew that the sergeant had objections, but he had no choice but to rush to Jade Buddha Pass at full speed.

When rushing to the west of Jade Buddha Pass two hundred miles away, Kong Ji saw some scattered cavalry, felt a little bit in his heart, and lamented: "It's over!"
