Chapter 335 There seems to be something wrong with this road
"Cao Zheng, you have been trapped. The blood sword ancestor's men have been wiped out by us. You are now alone."
Cao Zheng was shocked and commanded his troops to fight.
But they only entered Liaodu for 50,000 people, and the other side had as many as 100,000.
Although the 50,000 troops of the Western Xia army were elite, they have now become frightened birds.
On the other hand, the 100,000 Liang troops have always been raising their energy, and now they are at a time when morale is high, with murderous intent and rushing straight to the Western Xia army.
The 50,000 Xixia army suffered heavy losses and was reduced to fish and could be slaughtered.
Xu Ning, Fan Rui and Lu Fang surrounded Cao Zheng from three aspects, but they were afraid of Cao Zheng's centipede flag and did not dare to get too close.
Seeing that the city gate had been blocked by the jack, Cao Zheng couldn't rush out, so he led the remaining troops to kill the city tower.
Looking at the tall city wall, all the Western Xia warriors were trembling and heartbroken.
Such a high city wall, even if you jump down, you will break your legs even if you don’t die.
"Samurai, this is our last retreat. If you don't want to die, follow me and jump from here."
As he said that, Cao Zheng was the first to jump off the city tower.
It's also a good fortune. Cao Zheng landed in a city protection and used the water momentum to resolve the impact.
Seeing this, Xu Ning wanted to open the city gate to chase him, but was stopped by Fan Rui and Lu Fang.
"Brother Xu Ning, Brother Hua Rong said that we can only fight the Xixia army in the city and cannot leave the city."
"But just let Cao Zheng escape like this?"
Xu Ning was very unwilling to accept it. Cao Zheng had already fallen into their trap and could be arrested at any time, but he did not expect that at a critical moment, he escaped.
Lu Fang comforted Xu Ning: "Brother Xu Ning, I know you are unwilling to accept it, but Brother Hua Rong, this is also for our own good. Don't forget that Cao Zheng is good at using the centipede flag, and there are more than 100,000 Xixia troops outside the city to rescue him. We will rush out and win. If we lose and the Xixia troops make a comeback, we will be very guilty. Being able to ambush 60,000 Xixia troops today is considered to have made great contributions."
"Yes, brother Xu Ning, when His Majesty finds the Golden Rooster Banner, then we can go out and destroy these dog gods."
Fan Rui answered the conversation and comforted Xu Ning together.
Xu Ning looked at the two of them, saying everything, and couldn't help laughing, saying, "Since you both said that, if I, Xu Ning, don't listen to you, it would be too ignorant. Okay, let Cao Zheng's grandson live a few more days."
Fan Rui and Lu Fang both laughed.
The next day, the sun shone on the Liao capital, and tens of thousands of Xixia soldiers' bodies piled up on the streets, and the smell was stinking.
Fan Rui sent several young generals to transport the bodies for cremation, and several of them went to the commander camp to report to Hua Rong, Dong Ping and Mu Guiying.
After learning that this battle had eliminated 60,000 Xixia troops, Hua Rong, Dong Ping and Mu Guiying were very happy.
"Three generals, you have made great contributions this time. When Your Majesty comes back, I will definitely ask Your Majesty for you."
Fan Rui, Lu Fang and Xu Ning bowed to Mu Guiying and said in unison: "Thank you for your grace."
Mu Guiying waved her hand and said with a smile: "Three generals are exempted from gifts."
...
When the news of Cao Zheng's defeat and losing 60,000 troops reached Li Yanzong's ears, he was stunned, and then he became angry and kicked the table in front of him.
"Damn it, what did Cao Zheng do to eat? He actually lost 60,000 elite troops in Xixia overnight!"
The spy who reported the news was frightened by Li Yanzong's angry aura and lay on the ground and did not dare to move or speak back.
This made Li Yanzong even more angry, pointed at him and shouted: "I am the general asking you, did you hear it?"
The spy dared to look up at Li Yanzong and trembled: "The main reason why General Cao failed was that he misbelieves spies in the city, which led to someone closing the door and beating the dog."
Hearing this, Li Yanzong became gloomy.
The four words "close the door and fight the dog" deeply hurt Li Yanzong. This was the first time he was so "humiliated" that he had been so "humiliated" in so many years.
At this time, a soldier ran in and knelt in front of Li Yanzong: "General, General Cao is asking for a meeting."
"Let him get in!"
Li Yanzong shouted.
The soldier went out to convey Li Yanzong's orders.
Soon, Cao Zheng came in. He was naked, tied with a rope and a rattan on his back.
"Cao Zheng has met the general."
Cao Zheng knelt in front of Li Yanzong.
Li Yanzong glanced at Cao Zheng and sneered: "Cao Zheng, do you think you will forgive you if you learn from Lian Po and ask for guilt. I will tell you the truth, you dream! Because you insisted on your own actions, 60,000 soldiers died tragically in the Liaodu City. And you still have the face to come back. What's the use of this general to keep you?"
Li Yanzong became more and more angry as he spoke, and shouted to the outside world: "Come here! Drag Cao Zheng out and chop him!"
When two Western Xia soldiers came in and were about to go down with Cao Zheng, Li Yun came in and blocked the way.
"General, Cao Zheng cannot be killed yet." Li Yun walked to Li Yanzong and bowed to him, "Although Cao Zheng is guilty, now our great enemy is in front of us. Killing the general is tantamount to losing one's own strength. It is better for the general to leave Cao Zheng behind, and the last general will have its own uses."
Li Yanzong stared at Li Yun and whispered: "What's the use of Cao Zheng?"
Li Yun stepped forward and muttered in Li Yanzong's ear.
Li Yanzong pondered for a while and nodded, "Okay, since he is useful to you, you can take it away. However, death penalty can be avoided, and living penalty cannot be escaped. The person who came, drag Cao Zheng out to beat the top ten boards and handed it over to Deputy General Li."
"yes!"
Two Western Xia soldiers were escorting Cao Zheng out, and soon there were waves of board sounds and screams.
Li Yanzong sighed.
Li Yun bowed and said, "General, the general knows in his heart that you actually don't mean to kill Cao Zheng, but if you don't kill him, the other generals in the army will inevitably be dissatisfied."
Li Yanzong nodded and said, "After all, I brought this kid. But this time, all the spies lurking in the Liaodu have died, and it will be difficult to collect information from the Liaodu in the future. Especially Wu Tian, I don't know if they have already obtained the Golden Rooster Flag. If they get it, the decisive battle between us will probably begin. So, Deputy General Li, you have to speed up the arrangement of the formation."
"yes!"
...
Under the underground palace, Wu Tian and the Saint walked away with the torch for two days, but they still didn't see the end.
"Your Majesty, something seems wrong on this road." The saint stopped and pointed at a wolf Tengtu on the wall. "Yesterday, I saw this wolf Tengtu. Could it be that I have been spinning around all the time?"
"You said this reminded me, and I also felt that we were spinning around in circles. If it was true, what should we do?"
Wu Tian pondered for a while and said.
The saint thought for a while and sat cross-legged on the ground.
