Chapter 357 Entering the City

Yan Wu suddenly took action, and everyone on the handsome stage could not react for a moment, they were all in a daze.

However, there was a personal guard named Xian Yu Zhongtong standing not far behind Yan Wu, standing on tiptoes and walking over quietly.

"Move the handsome flag forward!"

Yan Wu was still shouting and did not notice the changes behind him.

The guard had walked two steps away from him, put his hand on the handle of the knife, and drew the knife.

"Don't do it!" Xianyu Shuming glanced at him and shouted to stop.

However, it was too late.

"puff."

The knife was swung down, and blood splashed on half of Xian Yu Zhongtong's body.

Yan Wu looked back and saw Cui Guangyuan grabbing a knife and hacking the guard who wanted to attack him to the ground.

Cui Guangyuan, a high-ranking official, risked his future by doing this. After killing the person, he gasped and held a knife behind Yan Wu, looking around warily. But when Yan Wu saw this situation, his eyes remained unchanged and he was so calm.

It was so scary that he pressed the dagger in his hand harder, causing Xianyu Zhongtong to groan in pain.

"Don't think that I don't dare to take action." Yan Wu said, "If you can't win today, you will die. There is nothing I can't do."

"Yes, if you have something to say, you don't have to take action." Xianyu Shuming said, "We are all in the army. If we have differences of opinion, we won't go to the point of using a knife."

"Send the order to have your soldiers charge and attack Duan Jianwei."

Xianyu Shuming's face changed and he refused: "The morale of the army is already in chaos, what's the use of this?"

"Listen to him and pass the order." Xianyu Zhongtong opened his mouth. He raised his head and said again: "Yan Jiying, I know your grandfather."

"The military situation is urgent, don't say it is useless." Yan Wu said coldly.

Xian Yuzhong said: "I'll just let you do what you want. I'll hide the knife in my cloak and hold it against it so that I can show up and deliver orders... Don't worry, I'm old and can't play tricks under the hands of a young man like you."

He smiled slightly and said: "If I can win, why would I want to be defeated and flee? I have led my army here all the way to win!"

Yan Wu then followed his instructions and pushed Xianyu Zhongtong to the heights of the commander's platform to observe the formation.

The soldiers had just surrounded them, and the soldiers couldn't see their commander, so they were panicking. Now they finally saw the big red cloak and felt a little calmer.

Yan Wu licked his lips and began to mobilize his troops.

With Xianyu Zhongtong's cooperation, his orders were passed on smoothly. The various square formations formed by tens of thousands of soldiers became chess pieces in his eyes. He moved these chess pieces one by one, gradually becoming distracted, and only seeing what was in front of him.

chess game.

After fighting for another hour, the Tibetan army had entered the rear flank of the Tang army, but the Tang army had not yet been defeated and maintained its fighting strength.

Xianyu Zhongtong was a little surprised, glanced at Yan Wu's stern profile, and gradually felt hope in his heart.

~~

Li Hui had discovered that Wang Zhongsi had come out of the city to rescue him. He immediately felt excited and led his troops to kill the Tibetan army led by Gong Jiezan, hoping to join forces with Wang Zhongsi as soon as possible.

When Duan Jianwei saw it, he frowned and without saying a word, he picked up the sword himself and galloped towards Li Hui's flag.

Two teams of guard cavalry stood on his left and right, shouting and waving their long axes to attack the Tang troops who dared to block the way.

Thousands of Tang Army cavalry were surrounded and now there were only about 500 left, and the formation was completely chaotic. Duan Jianwei cut a bloody path and rushed straight in front of Li Hui.

"kill!"

Duan Jianwei roared, raising his sword provocatively and waving it.

When Li Hui saw him, he not only refused to retreat, but instead took the reins and rushed towards him.

Killing Duan Jianwei would save the army from an unfavorable situation. Of course he would dare to step forward and fight.

"Come on!"

"die!"

Amid the roar, the two war horses rammed towards each other.

Li Hui held the Mo Dao tightly and stared at Duan Jianwei's neck, determined to cut off Duan Jianwei's head even if he took the knife.

He has confidence.

No matter how brave the opponent is, their physical strength may not be as strong as his. And the Mo Dao in his hand is extremely sharp and can directly break Duan Jianwei's weapon.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, Li Hui stepped off the horse and screamed, and blood spurted out from the horse's legs.

But two Nanzhao soldiers rolled over from the ground and chopped off his horse's legs.

The war horse fell to the ground, and Li Hui fell heavily to the ground.

He raised his head and looked, and saw Duan Jianwei riding his horse in front of him and slashing him down without mercy.

"puff."

Li Hui's head was raised high, Duan Jian and Wei Yaowu showed their power, and the morale of the Nanzhao army was greatly boosted.

However, even so, he still could not stop Wang Zhongsi's momentum of breaking the formation.

"boom!"

Another spear with a charge of explosives was thrown at the Tibetan army in the west. Their flesh and blood exploded, and the Tibetan soldiers who saw this thunder for the first time were thrown into chaos.

Gong Jiezan saw the Tang army rushing towards him, but he did not have the courage of Li Hui to face the enemy, nor was he like Duan Jianwei who had to fight to the death to defend his homeland, so he quickly ordered a retreat.

The Tubo army retreated, and Wang Zhongsi finally reunited with the Tang army led by Li Hui.

Unfortunately, Li Hui died not long ago and his blood has not yet cooled down.

Wang Zhongsi raised his head and glanced at the long pole with Li Hui's head hanging on it. He didn't say anything. He just clapped his horse and rushed towards Duan Jianwei's banner.

"Come on."

Duan Jianwei was not afraid of Wang Zhongsi, who was famous all over the world. Instead, his eyes were full of excitement. He was very happy to fight with Wang Zhongsi.

But just when he was about to ride his horse forward, someone from his subordinates rushed over to remind him to look at the battlefield to the east. There, instead of being defeated, the Tang army was still attacking Nanzhao soldiers fiercely.

What is before us is a very serious problem. The fact is that the main force of Nanzhao has fallen into the pincer attack of the Tang army again. If the fight continues like this, even if they can win, the main force of Nanzhao will suffer heavy losses.

After all, Tubo is just an ally. If Nanzhao loses too much of its own strength, the Tibetan army that came to help today may change its face and become an enemy who wants to annex Nanzhao.

Duan Jianwei had to calm down, observe the situation, and make the calmest decision.

~~

Longweiguan.

There were pools of blood everywhere on the city head, and a Nanzhao soldier climbed up from the north wall.

Tian Shenyu was still slashing the enemy not far away. He turned around and saw the Nanzhao soldier. He quickly swung his sword to chop off the hand of the Nanzhao soldier. However, the opponent was as nimble as a monkey and quickly jumped up and knocked him down.

"Take up defense!"

Tian Shenyu shouted, then bit the enemy's ear, raised his head and tore it off forcefully.

Xue Bai strode past him with a slash of Mo Dao in his hand, cutting off the hand holding the battlement. Then he turned around neatly and stabbed the Nanzhao man who was fighting with Tian Shenyu with his knife.

soldiers.

This section is close to Cangshan Mountain, and the surrounding terrain is dangerous. Instead, it became a place for Nanzhao troops to sneak attack, but luckily they were able to defend it.

An arrow flew past Xue Bai's face, and Diao Geng quickly came over and pulled him back.

The next moment, Xue Bai raised his head and looked towards Cangshan, but his movements were stagnant.

"Mr. Lang, it's dangerous."

"Shh."

Diao Geng didn't say anything anymore, but still stood in front of Xue Bai and pushed him back to the vicinity of the city tower.

Xue Bai still kept raising his head and looked at Cangshan.

It was daytime, a cloudy day, and the snow on the top of Cangshan Mountain blended with the gray clouds. But after waiting for a while, he did see a long line of fireworks flying in the sky.

"It's done?"

Xue Bai ran straight to the city tower and climbed the stairs all the way. He saw a soldier lying on the west transom. This was a soldier who was ordered to watch the Cangshan signal.

"Did you see it?" Xue Bai asked.

The soldier didn't answer.

Xue Bai caught up and helped the soldier up. He saw that there was an arrow stuck in his eye socket and he was already dead.

At this time, a short horn sounded from under Longwei Pass.

Turning to the south, I saw Duan Jian and Wei's troops slowly withdrawing, leaving the road to enter the pass, allowing Wang Zhongsi to join Xianyu Zhongtong's army.

It can be seen that Duan Jianwei deliberately let them enter Longwei Pass. The Tang army had no food and grass and was trapped in an isolated city. It would be better to let them enter the pass than to die at this time.

The Nanzhao army then joined forces with the Tubo army and pursued the Tang army one after another, trying to follow them into Longwei Pass.
