The Tang Dynasty immediately raised money and retreated its troops. After a long attack, they were afraid that they would lose their strength.

Under the red stone cave, Tang Chao and Sheva were all dressed up and riding on war horses, with their brows furrowed. I originally thought Niu Xianke and others were idiots, but I didn’t expect that if I attack now, it will still be difficult to win. .

At that moment, the soldiers returned to the camp and were stationed. He and Sheva and others patrolled the camp. Suddenly they felt the aroma of meat coming from the cave, and suddenly heard singing coming from the cave. Many animal bones were thrown out and exposed in the red stone cave. At the door, Meng Xiao and his three armies stood on the cliff and laughed.

The Tang Dynasty was furious, he drew his bow and arrows, and fired two arrows in succession. The two arrows shot out like the wind. But what shocked the Tang Dynasty was that Meng Xiao casually waved his hand and blocked the two arrows twice. The arrow broke like rotten wood.

Although the arrows used in the Tang Dynasty were of ordinary quality, their internal strength was so powerful that they shot out with both arrows and made a loud noise. Ordinary people, let alone those who dared to block, simply could not avoid such a fast method. Even if they were blocked, they would be killed. The internal force attached to the arrow killed him, but Meng Xiao blocked it casually, and his martial arts had reached an incredible level.

The Tang Dynasty finally knew why Niu Xianke and the previous Jiedu envoys often fell into the hands of this man. It turned out that this man was not a reckless person. He killed his own brother on impulse yesterday and knew that our army was powerful. , so the high base without fighting is indeed an important chess piece.

Without seeing the danger of the mountain, Tang Chao still felt that he had the ability to directly solve the problem with elite soldiers. But now that he saw such a strong fortification, he suddenly had no idea. Even if he could win and trap these soldiers to death, at least He had to surround him for a year and a half, because he had already figured out the true situation and the enemy had sufficient food and fodder, so he could hold on for at least three years.

It is obviously not possible to use siege. The emperor is favoring himself now, and there will be no shortage of food and grass supplies. But if the attack cannot be taken for a long time and the war is delayed for a year and a half, Li Longji will definitely think that he is a mediocre person and change it to something else. When Jiedushi comes to generals, he will not be able to contribute much to the imperial court. Even if he returns to the imperial court, he will definitely not be able to gain a foothold.

What made the Tang Dynasty even more fearful was how did Meng Xiao learn such powerful martial arts, and he actually had such skill in his hands that he could match the average Anjin master.

Little did he know that Meng Xiao was simply gifted. In addition, he had lived in a cave all his life, living with apes and monkeys, and fighting tigers and wolves day and night. He naturally realized the essence of superior martial arts, running like an ape and exerting force like an ape. Iron Hammer has become a rare master in the world.

Moreover, only Meng Xiao in this cave has ridiculously high martial arts, while the rest are not good at martial arts. Most of them are just powerful and brutal, with naturally strong muscles and bones.

Tang Chao wanted to shoot again, but suddenly he hung the bow back on his waist. He knew that even if he could shoot a few soldiers to death, there would be no compensation for the incident, and the truth would easily be revealed. Huh, what's the point of making these guys happy? .

Immediately, he led Sheva and others back to the camp and ordered them to go back to the tent to rest while he thought hard about countermeasures.

A forceful attack is not possible. This terrain can be said to be "one man is in charge of the pass, and ten thousand men are not allowed to open it." This will only lead to a loss of troops, but we cannot confront each other like this.

But the Tang Dynasty was not a person who gave up easily. At noon, he suddenly launched a lightning attack and ordered Ban Lin to lead the vanguard soldiers to swarm up. They must open the stronghold. The soldiers were brave and most were not afraid of death. Suddenly, they were on the high base. Rivers of blood flowed and heads rolled around, repelling Ban Lin's attacks again and again. Seeing Ban Lin's meritorious service, Xin Baijiang wanted to make a great contribution, attacked desperately, and fought his way into the siege alone.

................................................................. ................................................................. ................................................................. ...

Unfortunately, most of the soldiers behind him did not have the same martial arts skills as him, so they were quickly cut off from contact and fought alone.

He looked left and right and saw that there were no soldiers following him, but he was brave and skillful. He waved his fish-scale knife, slashed everywhere, and broke out of the encirclement.

Unfortunately, the Tang Dynasty was supervising the battle below and saw Xin Baijiang in danger from a distance, so he urgently ordered Sheva to lead fifty swordsmen to rush to the rescue.

Oops, at this moment, the four ladders suddenly broke in the middle, and Meng Xiao smashed a small mountain-like stone in his hand. It turned out that he had been prepared for it, and had all the rolling logs and stones. Seeing that the situation was tight, he used his supernatural power to move the largest mountain in the village. A stone was pushed to the entrance of the village and struck downwards. Although the ladder was strong, it could not withstand such a blow. It was immediately broken. The offensive of the Tang Dynasty army below was temporarily frustrated. Meng Xiao laughed loudly and knocked down a Tang army with one palm. Kill them and shout loudly to order the soldiers to surround and suppress the soldiers above.

There were nearly a hundred soldiers on top. This contact was cut off, and I suddenly felt frightened. Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty was well-trained, and each of them used their martial arts and fought with their own soldiers. These soldiers were not as elite as these pioneer soldiers. Although they were able to encircle them, they could not survive for a while. However, he couldn't kill these 100 people in time. Ban Lin killed several people in a row, which was so powerful that he angered Meng Xiao. He yelled and came to fight Ban Lin himself.

Ban Lin had already seen Meng Xiao's strength as a god, but he didn't expect that his martial arts was also powerful, so he waved his palm to greet him.

But he immediately felt that this was a mistake, because a strong energy caused a slight sting on his face, and he immediately relieved his strength. He knew that the palm power of his giant spirit god was strong, and that was In a situation where internal strength is competing, one's own death is certain.

But he still suddenly felt a sweetness in his mouth, a strong shock, which made his body feel empty.

He understood at this moment that he could only avoid it but not accept it.

Sheva was so anxious that he trembled and jumped up like a big bird. He used his strength on the cliff and floated to the top.

The soldiers' arrows rained down like rain, but they could not hurt him. He just flicked his robe sleeves, causing arrows to fall one after another.

At this time, he saw that Xin Baijiang was in danger. He let out a loud voice and yelled loudly. The sound was like a huge thunder. He slashed out with a knife. Before the blade reached it, a strong momentum suddenly enveloped the surrounding area. place.

Meng Xiao originally wanted to add another palm to kill Xin Baijiang, but as soon as he felt the powerful murderous intention, he immediately filled his body with energy, pulled out the copper hammer from his waist, and blocked the attack.

The swords and hammers collided, making a violent roar. It was obviously the moment when the dark energy was erupting, and there was a strong collision and vibration within a short distance.

Xin Baijiang had suffered internal injuries, but once Meng Xiao left, the other soldiers were not very skilled in martial arts, but he was more than capable of protecting himself.

When the Tang Dynasty saw the battle supervisor at Gaofu, he saw that Sheva had already rushed up. He was afraid that he would be lost, so he quickly ordered the four tigers of the Zhuan clan to come forward to rescue him. In an instant, he set up four more ladders and stormed up.

The soldiers shouted loudly, apparently calling for reinforcements in the cave. The two sides fought fiercely, with a melee at the entrance of the village about 40 meters away.

What a great killing.

In order to stimulate the morale of the army, the Tang Dynasty personally played the drums. With overwhelming momentum, three thousand vanguard soldiers rushed into the village gate one after another. Meng Xiao was entangled by Sheva and was greatly surprised. He knew that if this situation continued, what would happen to the Tang Dynasty later?

The troops entered the village gate again, which was a dead end.

He was also a man who could lift up and let go. Seeing that the situation was over, he hurriedly ordered his troops to retreat quickly and retreated into the cave.

His martial arts are indeed powerful. A master like Sheva can't do anything to him. He strikes east, west, south, and north. He is called "Four Directions Fall". His power is incomparable, and he finally defeats him.

Shewa was forced to retreat and fled in first. He guarded the two villages and guarded the entrance of the village himself, and put all the soldiers in one by one.

Sheva was furious. After spending such a high price, could it be that he just captured the entrance to such a small Hulu Village? He immediately rushed over.

But what made Sheva angry was that the terrain here was really dangerous. He guarded the entrance of Erdaozhai with a copper hammer, and actually blocked the way out. He tried to get up several times, but was beaten by Meng Xiao.

He blocked it with all his strength, and the last time he faced off head-on, the thick-backed knife in his hand split into two.

Although his martial arts skills were by no means weaker than Meng Xiao's, he suffered the loss of his weapon and threw the Duan Dao on the ground and retreated in despair.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty saw that the situation was favorable to its own side, so he personally held a knife and attacked the entrance of the cave. He was met by Sheva who looked helpless.

"Father, what's going on?"

Sheva said helplessly: "Ming Jin withdraws the troops,"

"Yes," the Tang Dynasty immediately saw the change in the situation, ordered the troops to retreat, and stationed the soldiers at the entrance of the cave where the Fan soldiers were. They were shocked. Each side suffered two to three hundred casualties.

--------------------------------

In the Chinese army tent, Sheva looked angry, and Tang Chao also looked bad. He knew that the number of casualties on both sides was similar, but his side was full of elite soldiers. The enemy soldiers were obviously not as elite as ours, but they occupied a favorable location.

, so you can fight the strong with the weak.

"General Sheva, what do you think should be done now?" As the commander-in-chief of an army, it was appropriate for the Tang Dynasty to listen to the opinions of his subordinates.

"I feel that a strong attack is too difficult and ineffective. After this battle, the enemy will definitely strengthen its military defense. If we try to attack again, it will be very dangerous and may not be effective. I think we should think of other ways."

Zhuan Ren said: "In my opinion, although the enemy has geographical advantages, their combat effectiveness does not seem to be strong. They all use force attacks. Within three months, they will be driven out of Hongshi Cave."

Ban Lin said: "I agree with General Zhuanren's point of view. The Japanese soldiers are stubborn and stubborn. If we don't kill them all, even if they are pacified this time, there is no guarantee that they will not rebel in the future."

Tang Chao smiled slightly: "What you all said is very reasonable, but I feel that it is only a matter of time to take the Red Stone Cave. But based on the current situation, the rescue of the Pebble Valley Railway Information Department is a serious problem. Please give up."

General Wa leads 3,000 elite troops to ambush at the border of Liuzhou. Regardless of whether the enemy finds out or not, we will do our best to stop him. We will take the Red Stone Cave tonight, so don’t worry,"

Sheva obeyed the order and led his troops out to intercept the reinforcements, but the generals had many doubts. It took so much effort to attack Hongshidong and Gourd Village today. How could they capture Hongshidong tonight? They all had doubts and went back to their tents to rest.
