But I'm a male fox

On the other side, the same is true for Chen Youxi and Duguzhi.

However, no matter how many tricks they tried, they couldn't shake this strange golden Buddha!

Halfway through the fight, Li Cheng distanced himself and thought for a while.

In order to prevent accidents, he did not use all his strength to arrange the sword array or use the combined slash. Chen and Dugu were similar...but he thought to himself, even if they used all the last moves, they might not be able to take down the opponent in front of them. the two monks.

It's not that there is too much difference in cultivation...

There are actually two main reasons. One is that Zhendu's two-handed method is indeed a very brilliant stunt. It can be regarded as one of the top spells in the world. Fighting with Li Cheng is really a professional counterpart.

Secondly, there is a whole prison behind them.

On the surface, this double-faced Buddha Dharma statue appears to be independent, but in fact it is faintly connected to the big formation of Si Laoguan, and the two sides can transfer spiritual power to each other.

After thinking through these two points, Li Cheng felt that there was really no need to continue the fight today.

On the one hand, he manipulated his Nine-Tails Sumo to pounce towards the top of the city, leading Zhendu Zhenjue to rescue him, while pulling Chen Youxi and Duguzhi around in a small circle, attacking Ning Suzi.

He shouted: "Old man, let the past go, why bother?"

"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense, you monster!"

Ning Suzi is worthy of being an experienced veteran master. Facing the siege of many people, after she cursed, although she was unwilling, she still retreated quickly. On the way, she continued to harass with two flying swords very skillfully, until Li Cheng and others It is only when people fully converge.

As a result, the battle in the sky came to an end for the time being, Li Cheng and the three girls retreated slowly, and Ning Suzi and the two monks had no spare energy to chase after them.

Down below, the initial probing failed. Zhu Chongxiu fully realized that Silaoguan was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he quickly sent monks to cover it, and withdrew the soldiers who were blown to the ground by the strong wind.

The sun was setting in the west, and the remaining sunlight fell on the corpses above and below the city, blending with the color of blood.

In the big camp, some quarrels occurred among the generals under Zhu Chongxiu's command. Some advocated a fierce attack, some advocated grinding slowly, and some advocated going around.

To be honest, the failure of today's attack did not cause much loss to the Rebel Army, but the visible strength of the Silao Pass gave many people a headache.

In the past, the rebel army relied on Zhu Chongxiu's talent, as well as the high morale and discipline of the low-level soldiers to win every battle.However, in the face of such a strong formation, and several second-rank cooperation to guard the Xiongguan, these advantages have been greatly weakened.

After all, this is the gateway to the capital, so we can't expect the defenders inside to be defeated in a single battle like Sun De in Lucheng.

In the tent next door, Li Cheng could not help feeling distressed as he listened to the generals' discussions.

For the time being, he didn't think of a good way to deal with those two old monks.

Trick one out to knock it out alone?People of the second rank can start a sect, how could it be so easy to deceive......

"Okay, okay, sir, you should relax first."

When she had a headache, Duguzhi stretched out her small white hand, stroking Li Cheng's temple and said, "Even if you keep looking sad like this, you can't think of a good way."

"It's true, after a day of fighting, it's time to rest first."

Li Cheng smiled...

Blow out the candle.

Faint moonlight enters the house...

Suddenly, Duguzhi asked softly: "Master, tell me, since Silaoguan is adjacent to the river, can we cross the river from the lower reaches and bypass it?"

Chapter 330 The Trojan Horse in the World of Immortals

"That probably won't work."

Li Cheng didn't want to sleep either, so Li Cheng lay sideways on the pillow, smelling the girl's fragrance, and lectured to Duguzhi:

"If you really want to go around, you can definitely go around, but how to ensure the transportation of grain and grass in the future? It's nothing more than a few thousand people, but Chongxiu has 10 people."

"Across such a big river, there is still an intact pass. If the enemy takes the initiative to attack, our army's food road will be cut off immediately."

Duguzhi thought for a moment, and then asked: "Then we assign some people to guard him, can't we?"

Li Cheng smiled and shook his head:

"If there are only a few thousand officers and soldiers in Silao Pass, that's okay. The key is that there are 7 people inside. Even if the combat power is weaker than that of the rebels, it is not completely incapable of field combat. How many people do you plan to leave to watch them? Less It's useless, how can we attack the capital if there are too many?"

"I see......"

After thinking for a while, Duguzhi blinked and said, "Then tell me, my lord, if I manipulate the river to flood this prison pass, is it possible for me to succeed?"

"This......"

Li Cheng felt that this strategy was not very reliable, but he couldn't think of any rebuttals for a while.

I still feel like I can try it.

With the attitude of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, he told Zhu Chongxiu the idea early the next morning after finishing his exercise and feeling relieved.

The good sister didn't think of a good way to break through the pass at the moment, after discussing it, she found that this trick didn't seem to cost much, so she agreed to let Dugu Zhi try it.

The final result...

Naturally it failed.

As a half-breed dragon, Duguzhi's ability to manipulate water is even inferior to that of Zhendu and Ning Suzi. After she was serious, she actually summoned several waves of tens of meters high, which looked like a tsunami from a distance. scary.

However, although Silaoguan is adjacent to the river, its foundation is a high-lying location specially selected by the builders at the beginning, which naturally blocks water.

Moreover, the three second ranks on the opposite side were guarding the top of the city, making it impossible for Duguzhi to approach and cast spells.

Those waves could only rely on inertia to move forward at the last few hundred meters, and in the end they were all relieved by the formation. They just slapped the officers and soldiers on the city wall with water in their faces, and did not cause any substantial damage.

the next ten days.

The rebels also came up with many normal or weird tactics, some used fire attacks, some dug tunnels, and Li Cheng also tried high-altitude bombing, but all of them ended in failure.

The Silao Pass lay in front of the rebels like a huge mountain, impregnable.

This morning...

"Master Zhendu, I heard that the Buddhist school emphasizes compassion, but now they are violent and demanding, tyrannizing the world, and the people are miserable, why do you still serve them?"

"Li Yaowang, regarding the change of destiny, those of us who have not yet verified the position of the true immortal arhat, it is better not to speak absurdly. Besides, who can guarantee that after Zhu benefactor takes the position, he will not ask the world... ..."

"Then you have nothing to say about the people who are poisoning the world right now?"

"If Li Yaowang wants to listen to Buddhism..."

"No, forget it, I don't want to hear it, shut up, bald donkey."

"?"

Because no one can do anything to each other, so in the middle of today's fight, Li Cheng started talking.

Of course, this kind of behavior is definitely fruitless. The upper three ranks are all people who have survived the catastrophe of their hearts, and each of them has a heart like iron, which cannot be shaken by words at all.

But anyway, saliva is worthless, so Li Cheng just practiced his ventriloquist, and it was quite cool to be able to spit at the other party from time to time.

In terms of intensity, you have to look at the master-apprentice team of Liu Shishi and Ning Suzi next to them, who can dye half of the sky every day.

After the crowd fought for another half an hour, Li Cheng noticed that Liu Shishi on the side had accumulated less after all, and was faintly suppressed by Ning Suzi, so he repeated the old trick and sent out the newly recovered Dharma Xiang Bo, took the opportunity to bring the fairy back.

On the ground, Zhu Chongxiu also felt that the soldiers were exhausted, so he called for money to withdraw the troops, ending the day's siege.

Because it was only a day's worth of food and grass, the morale of the army was not very high.

But in the evening, a good thing really happened, which brought spring-like comfort to the soldiers who had just had a full meal-literally.

"Brother Li!"

"Brother Li!"

"You didn't stay in Liuli Cave well, why did you come here?"

Li Cheng looked at the thirty or so beautiful fox girls who walked into the tent, especially Lan Xiaoyu, the leader, and was surprised and delighted.

Lan Xiaoyu shook her fox ears, covered her mouth and smiled, "Of course I'm looking for you~"

"It's time for us to go out to practice and practice. In today's world, where else can we have more opportunities to practice than here?"

"And grandma also said, Brother Li, you have saved our Liulidong from fire and water several times, and now you are in trouble, we should come to help no matter what! Well, although it may only be a little bit... ..”

Li Cheng shook his head with a smile and said, "It won't be just a little...Thank you!"

Behind him, Zhu Chongxiu also saluted and said: "My sisters have traveled thousands of miles to help, I am very grateful..."

"You are sister Zhu, right? Don't be polite~"

Lan Xiaoyu returned the gift with a smile, her eyes quietly looked at Zhu Chongxiu, revealing a trace of inexplicable emotion whether it was happiness or jealousy...

Gossip rest.

In short, this unexpected reinforcement of fox demons was unanimously welcomed by the camp.

And they lived up to everyone's expectations. With their excellent charm and illusion, all the soldiers had a dream that could soothe their emotions at night-it was just a simple dream, and other things were impossible.

That's enough to boost morale.

But on Li Cheng's side, after thinking about it all night, he suddenly had an inspiration!

He felt that the foxes could play a bigger role.

Early the next morning, he found Zhu Chongxiu again.

"Let the fox demons use illusions to create the illusion that the army is crossing the river and bypassing Silao Pass, and trick the officers and soldiers into leaving the city?"

Hearing Li Cheng's attention, Zhu Chongxiu blinked and said:

"It should be feasible, but it may not be able to deceive too many people. That Zhou Xuan is a prudent person, and there is a high probability that he will only divide a small group of elites...not to mention the few second-ranks. If you are in a group, it will be difficult to be fooled, right?"

"But this is already a more feasible solution, isn't it?"

"That's right, I think I can try..."

"And Chongxiu, I'm a chain plan." The corner of Li Cheng's mouth curled up slightly, and he also told his follow-up thoughts.

Zhu Chongxiu was dazed when he heard this, hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth, and finally nodded in agreement.

Five days thereafter.

The rebels displayed exhaustion in half-truth.

Even one night, a low-ranking officer dived into the river, swam to Silao Pass, and surrendered to the officers and soldiers.

Zhou Xuan heard and decided to interrogate the visitor himself.

"...You said that you were born as a rich gentry in Lucheng, and you learned martial arts since you were young. After Sun De escaped and surrendered to Zhu Ni with the commander, you found out that your property was confiscated, so you were so angry that you decided to abandon the dark and turn to the bright." ?”

"My lord knows the truth, what the villain said is true, I dare not hide anything!"

Zhou Xuan was expressionless, and glanced at Master Zhenjue standing beside him.

Seeing that the latter nodded, he smiled and asked people to receive the demoted general well, retain his rank, and reward him according to the old rules.

Then he returned to the main tent, summoned the generals and the national teacher and said, "At present, Zhu Ni really wants to bypass this prison."

Someone immediately laughed loudly: "This is the way to kill! Zhu Ni committed a fool, God is helping our army!"

The national teacher Zhendu raised his eyes and said: "The fox demon is the most treacherous and cunning, and is good at deceiving people's hearts. Can you confirm that this news is true?"

"Report to the national teacher!" A monk with wings on his back and responsible for leading the whole army to not accept nights said, cupping his hands: "I saw Zhu Ni transporting the grain and grass to the other side of the river, and I even flew over to taste it myself. I can confirm that It's real food."

Hearing this, Zhendu nodded slightly and stopped talking.

Zhou Xuandao: "From this point of view, it is Zhu Ni who has been unsuccessful in attacking the city for many days, unable to hold back, and made a foolish move...We must not let this opportunity pass!"

In fact, if it was the original Zhou Xuan, he would be more cautious.

But these days, not to mention Zhu Chongxiu, even the officers and soldiers themselves are having a hard time.

Leaving aside the hard work of maintaining the formation in Guanzhong and the consumption of spirit stones, the tense situation behind Ma Changping's approach to Guanzhong has caused the capital to send people several times to ask whether the Hebei soldiers can be pulled back to support Guanzhong. .

This happens when ten fingers hold down eleven lice.

Of course Zhou Xuan didn't want to let people go. After all, he didn't have the confidence to win at this time. Only when the number of defenders in the pass was not much worse than that of Zhu Chongxiu, could he be sure of field battles.

Therefore, once he saw the opportunity to hit Zhu Chongxiu hard, he certainly would not give up easily.

After the plan was set, the government and army released more spies, and at the same time began intensive preparations.

Finally, three days later, they confirmed that Zhu Chongxiu had dispatched more than 2 troops across the river and went around to the northwest of Silao Pass through the personal testing of the leader Yebushou who had cultivated wings.

Zhou Xuan made a decisive decision and wanted to eat these 2 people first!

He asked his cronies to lead eight thousand elites to cross the river at night and attack the camp of the rebels!

At the same time, to be on the safe side, Zhendu Zhenjue and his two senior brothers also flew to the river to prepare to meet them. With their skills, they could not only help in the night attack, but also be able to return to the pass in time when an accident happened.
