"What do I do? The Dragon Head of the Heavenly Dragon Sect is very crafty. When he saw that the situation was bad, he immediately retreated with his army. Should I use this chance to capture him? But he also has that unknown General Luo at his side. What should I do?! "
The rear army of the Heavenly Dragon Sect had become the vanguard, and the vanguard had been sent to bring up the rear. The Dragon Head had personally led his army in retreat, and this made Li Junxian anxious. For some reason, he had wanted to seize the Dragon Head, but in the end, he hadn't put it into action. He didn't know how strong General Luo was, and he wasn't absolutely confident that he could capture the Dragon Head under his nose!
Even though Li Junxian had been a member of the Celestial Dragon Army for a long time, he had never seen General Luo take action. The arrow that General Luo had fired at the city gate was clearly at the level of a grandmaster. Thus, Li Junxian did not believe that he could quickly capture the Dragon Head of the Heavenly Dragon Sect while under the protection of a grandmaster!
Bongbongbong!
Just when the Heavenly Dragon Army was preparing to retreat, the thundering of hooves came from the southern part of Chang 'an. Li Junxian was elated. After hiding in the Heavenly Dragon Sect for so long, he was well aware of its strength. He was certain that these soldiers were not here to reinforce the Heavenly Dragon Sect!
If he eliminated this possibility, then there was only one possibility. This army was from the Imperial Court!
Li Junxian was happy, but the Dragon Head, Zhang Liang, and General Luo couldn't bring themselves to be happy!
"Not good! It's the Imperial Court's cavalry! "
General Luo grimaced, and then he hastily said, "Milord, take a group of elite soldiers and retreat from the east. This general will lead the rest to stop the Imperial Court's cavalry for you!"
"The Imperial Court's cavalry? How could this be? "
The Dragon Head blurted out in disbelief. "This god has been keeping an eye on the movements of the Imperial Court at the gates of Chang 'an this entire time. No soldiers have left the city in the last two days! Where did these cavalry come from? "
It was precisely because there were no signs of the imperial court deploying troops recently that the iron-masked man dared to bring 50,000 men to attack the city! If the imperial court's army had been mobilized frequently in the past two days, it meant that the imperial court was aware of the Dragon Sect's plan. The iron masked man would definitely cancel today's operation in advance and not come to Chang 'an City!
"Perhaps the troops of the imperial court stationed in other provinces and counties have arrived!"
General Luo's face turned ugly as he said, "My Lord, now is not the time to discuss these issues. The most important thing right now is for you to lead a group of people to break out from the east! Leave this place to me to cover your retreat! "
"General Luo, this general is willing to escort the dragon head away!"
At some point, Li Junxian had walked over, clasped his fist, and bowed.
Li Junxian had not been standing very far from General Luo, so he had heard most of their conversation. The iron masked man had finally separated from General Luo, so how could he not seize this chance? Thus, without any hesitation, he stepped forward and volunteered.
General Luo immediately turned to Li Junxian and frowned. "You? If I remember correctly, you have only joined the Heavenly Dragon Army for less than a month, right? How can you bear such a great responsibility? "
Li Junxian hadn't expected this man surnamed Luo to remember a 'minor character' of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. His mind turning, he hastily replied,
His mind raced, and he hastily said, "General Luo, although this subordinate has not been a member of the Dragon Sect for long, this subordinate is absolutely loyal to the Dragon Head and the Dragon Sect! Venerable Du 'e was coerced by the Imperial Court into maliciously slandering the Dragon Sect in public. Others might believe it, but this subordinate will not! This subordinate's loyalty to the Dragon Sect and the Dragon Head has never changed. Now that the Dragon Head is in danger, this subordinate will do everything in my power to escort the Dragon Head safely out of Chang 'an! General Luo, please be at ease! "
"Good! Good! Good! Li Junjian, this god did not misjudge you! "
The Dragon Head looked at Li Junxian in praise. Li Junxian had been able to enter the Heavenly Dragon Army primarily because he had received the Dragon Head's favor. Now that the Heavenly Dragon Sect was in danger, Li Junxian had remained unwavering in his loyalty. The steel-masked man naturally had nothing but praise for Li Junxian. Thus, he turned to General Luo and said, "General Luo, this god trusts in Li Junjian's loyalty. Rest assured and let Li Junjian lead a group of men to escort this god out!"
"But …!"
"No buts! General Luo, you only need to delay the Imperial Court's army for a few moments, and then immediately join up with this god. No matter what, you must live! "
At this point, the current situation did not allow them to hesitate too much. The iron-masked man instantly made a decision, but before he left, he still looked at General Luo with a solemn expression and said, "Don't worry.
"Okay!"
General Luo's eyes flashed with emotion, and then he solemnly returned the bow. "Milord, take care! This general will definitely return alive! "
After saying this, he bellowed, "Pan Feng, Zhao Ming, the two of you take two thousand elites and accompany Li Junjian to escort the Dragon Head out of Chang 'an! If anything goes wrong, I will chop off your heads! "
As soon as he finished speaking, two valiant generals immediately stepped forward, cupped their fists, and said, "Yes, sir!"
"Haha! A trifling Heavenly Dragon Sect dares to run rampant in Chang 'an? Today, this Old Cheng will teach you how to behave! "
At this moment, the sound of hooves approached from the south, followed by the loud laughter of Cheng Yaojin.
General Luo grimaced and sternly ordered his subordinates, "Hurry and escort the Dragon Head out!"
"Yes!"
Immediately, the two groups of elite soldiers brought the Heavenly Dragon Sect's dragon head and left towards the east.
General Luo gripped his sword and loudly shouted, "Soldiers, hear my order! Follow this general to meet the enemy!"
"Yes!"
The Sky Dragon Army was indeed a well-trained army. The moment General Luo gave the order, more than ten thousand people responded in unison. Then, they pulled out their swords and got into formation. Under General Luo's lead, they charged towards the ten thousand light cavalry led by Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Jingde.
"Ha! How dare you! Let this Old Cheng meet you! "
Cheng Yaojin saw that the rebel army's general actually took the initiative to meet them, and he couldn't help but shout excitedly. He held his lance and charged forward.
Ten thousand against eighteen thousand, but this old man didn't seem to have the slightest awareness that he was outnumbered. It was as if he had the absolute advantage, and he charged forward without any regard for his life.
Seeing this, Qin Qiong panicked, but it was clearly impossible to stop Cheng Yaojin at this time. He turned his head to Yuchi Jingde and urgently said, "Jingde, Heavenly Dragon Cult just sent out a group of people to the east. There's likely to be Heavenly Dragon Cult's dragon head there. You lead a group to pursue, I'll go help Zhijie!"
At the end of the day, Qin Qiong was still a little worried about Cheng Yaojin. However, he couldn't not send people to chase after the other group of people from Heavenly Dragon Sect. After thinking about it, he could only make this arrangement!
Yuchi Gong also knew that the situation was urgent. Without hesitation, he wiped the rain off his face and replied, "Alright! Then I'll lead a thousand light cavalry to chase after the Heavenly Dragon Sect survivors. Shu Bao, you and Zhijie must be careful! "
"En! You don't have to worry about this side! "
Qin Qiong nodded.
"Wu Dachuan, count a thousand men and follow this general!"
With that, Yuchi Jingde called out to his men, and the thousand light cavalry immediately turned and galloped in the direction of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's dragon head.
"All generals listen to my order! Follow this general to kill! Don't let a single one escape! "
Qin Qiong held a golden mace and urged his horse to lead the remaining thousand light cavalry to support Cheng Yaojin!
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin and General Luo were already fighting. The two of them tested each other's strength and found that they were evenly matched. At this time, Cheng Yaojin's lance smashed into General Luo's sword, but the latter's majestic zhenqi directly shook him away. Cheng Yaojin stabilized himself and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Hey! Junior, you have such good kung fu! Who are you? Who is your teacher? "
It was no wonder that Old Cheng was surprised. The young general in front of him was no more than twenty years old, but his martial arts had reached the Grandmaster realm. Other than Li Zexuan, this was probably the youngest Grandmaster realm martial artist in the entire Tang Dynasty! What surprised Cheng Yaojin even more was that not only was this young general's realm high, his swordsmanship was also quite fierce. Yes, fierce, bold, simple, and efficient. It had the style of the army's swordsmanship!
"I'm just a nobody, there's no need for Duke Lu to worry about me!"
A trace of hatred flashed in General Luo's eyes. He said coldly and directly raised his sword to slash at Cheng Yaojin!
"Hey! I, Old Cheng, saw that you were a promising talent and wanted to persuade you to submit to the imperial court, but you really don't know what's good for you. Since that's the case, I, Old Cheng, will teach you how to respect your elders! "
When Cheng Yaojin saw that this young general's martial arts were outstanding, he was very fond of him. However, the other party did not appreciate his kindness at all. Cheng Yaojin could not help but be furious. Not everyone had the qualifications to be treated coldly by him. After saying that, Cheng Yaojin waved his lance and swung it at General Luo!
"Zhijie! This old man will help you! "
At this moment, Qin Qiong came over on his horse, wanting to join forces with Cheng Yaojin to fight against General Luo.
Cheng Yaojin's stubborn temper had already risen. When he heard Qin Qiong's voice, he loudly said, "Second brother, I don't need your help! Let me, Old Cheng, deal with him alone! "
As they spoke, the two of them had already clashed.
Hearing this, Qin Qiong hurriedly reined in his horse, but he felt helpless. He knew that if he rashly joined the battle at this time, Old Cheng wouldn't really be angry at him, but he would definitely feel very uncomfortable. So at this moment, he could only deal with the surrounding Dragon Sect soldiers while paying attention to the battle. If Cheng Yaojin's situation changed, he would be the first to go to his rescue!
