Chapter 239 Liu Taiyi
Just when Zi Chen broke through, Xia Pi City.
Like locusts and beast tides, the enemy army surrounded the entire Xia Pi City and was trapped on the city wall for three days without closing their eyes. Hu Yunlie, who had been sleeping for a sleep, looked worriedly at the enemy troops that stretched for dozens of miles outside Xia Pi City. He knew very well that the Yunjin Empire, led by Zhao Tieleng, and the Blue Moon Empire and the southern countries had not attacked for a long time, and they simply wanted to surround and attack support.
Hu Yunlie, who is also the four generals of the Tang Dynasty, naturally knew that this was the tactic that Zhao Tieleng was best at. He knew the other party’s purpose and trap, but he had to jump in. This was not a conspiracy, but a dignified plot. Unless he treated all the Tang army in Xia Pi City as abandoned sons, he would not be able to untie the knot at all. He followed Hu Yunlie, who had been sleeping for three days and three nights, saw Hu Yunlie’s haggard expression, he hesitated for a moment and comforted him in a low voice: “General, you have not rested for three days and three nights. Look at their formation, you will not attack the city in a short time, otherwise you will go down and rest first. I will stay here and continue to stare. As long as they have any abnormal movements, I will notify the general as soon as possible…”
"It's too late to rest." Hu Yunlie, who had a calm face, shook his head.
"Are Zhao Tieleng and the others ready to attack the city?" The deputy general looked at Hu Yunlie in front of him with a blank expression.
"What Zhao Tieleng really wants to deal with is not the army in Xia Pi City, but the reinforcements sent by Chang'an City. He had already weaved a big bag before besieging Xia Pi City. As soon as the reinforcements from Chang'an City came, he tightened the bag and ate the army in Xia Pi City and the reinforcements from Chang'an City. The letter of request for assistance has been sent for three days. If nothing unexpected happens, at most, our Tang Dynasty reinforcements will come this evening, and it will probably be a fierce battle at that time..."
Hearing Hu Yunlie pointed out Zhao Tieleng's trick, the deputy general, who looked only twenty-seven or eight years old, also had a slight twitch and his face changed wildly: "General, since this is Zhao Tieleng's trick, we shouldn't be led by him! Their current troops are in an absolute advantage, so we might as well break out now..."
"Breakthrough?"
Hearing the suggestion of the deputy general, Hu Yunlie shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You are too underestimating Zhao Tieleng. His tactics have always been called rigorous and airtight. Among our four generals of the Tang Dynasty, if we talk about tactical arrangements alone, even Zi Yang and I are not as good as him. Unfortunately, he likes to pursue the ultimate of tactics too much, but forgets that the battlefield is changing rapidly. If Zi Yang does not hit the life and death curse, as long as the emperor asks him to lead 200,000 people over, he will definitely be able to kill Zhao Tieleng and his coalition forces into a defeat." Hearing Hu Yunlie's mention
Zi Yang, the adjutant standing behind him, also nodded silently. As for General Zi Yang, who is known as the leader of the four generals of the Tang Dynasty, he had heard many legendary deeds about General Zi Yang since the day he joined the Tang Dynasty army, and countless others. When he thought of General Zi Yang, who was like a military god, also began to decline, the old adjutant also had a look of loneliness flashed in his eyes. He cheered up and looked at Hu Yunlie in front of him, and said with a worried look: "General, who do you think the emperor will send to rescue us this time?"
"It's probably that boy Zi Chen." Hu Yunlie smiled with an admiration.
"Divine Arrow Lord?" The adjutant was slightly stunned.
In his opinion, although Zi Chen's archery skills are unparalleled in the world, this is a marching and fighting, not a show of courage. Although Zi Chen has shot many immortal masters and warriors on the battlefield, he cannot compete with famous generals such as Zi Yang, Zhao Tieleng, and Hu Yunlie. Seeing the worried expression in the eyes of the deputy general, Hu Yunlie, who looked tired, seemed to think of Zi Chen's guy, the fatigue on his face suddenly disappeared, and he smiled and said, "Don't underestimate that boy Zi Chen. Fighting a war is simply a mess. I have studied the kid's record in private. It is not an exaggeration to describe him in four words."
"What four words?" The deputy general looked at Hu Yunlie curiously.
"Insidious and cunning." Hu Yunlie smiled heartily and said, "It's a pity that our Tang Dynasty has not had a big war in the past ten years. Zi Chen had no place to put aside his bad waters, so he could only make small fuss. Otherwise, not only would that boy become a famous general in the world, he would at least have a place among the four generals in our Tang Dynasty."
When he heard Hu Yunlie's comments, the deputy general who had been following him for six years was also shocked.
It was the first time he had been with Hu Yunlie for six years that Hu Yunlie had such a high evaluation of a person. Even Ziyang, Zhao Tieleng and the late Changsun Ce had never received such a high evaluation. After hesitating for a moment, he asked curiously: "General, according to your opinion, sooner or later, the Divine Arrow Lord will enter the top ten famous generals in the world one day?"
"Top Ten Famous Generals?"
Hearing the words "Top Ten Famous Generals", Hu Yunlie fell into silence. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "I don't know whether he can become one of the top ten famous generals in the world in the future. With his current ability, it is basically impossible to become the top ten famous generals. With his current ability, it is basically impossible to become the top ten famous generals. As a soldier, he naturally knew who was the one who was regarded as the top ten famous generals. It was not impossible to become the top ten famous generals. These all depend on his own understanding and fortune..." When he heard that the Tang Dynasty's Arrow Lord Zi Chen might become the top ten famous generals in the world, the deputy general's eyes almost popped out. As a soldier, he naturally knew who was the one who was regarded as the top ten famous generals in the world.
The tent of the central army of the Yunjin Empire.
At this moment, there were more than thirty burly generals sitting in a large central army tent, some of which were generals under Zhao Tieleng, and some of them brought by Liu Taiyi. As for the remaining twenty, those from the sixteen countries in the south, now, the one sitting at the top was a white-faced scholar who looked only twenty-three and four years old. Most of the people present knew that Zhao Tieleng's body was destroyed by Changsun Ce's only son Changsun Wuhui with the life and death curse, so he found a body to take over the body and reborn. Compared to the body that Zhao Tieleng started, Zhao Tieleng looked much more feminine, especially his eyes. As long as he stared at him, he would feel creepy and shivering. Seeing that everyone was quiet, Zhao Tieleng cleared his throat and said, "According to the spies, reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty had already set off two days ago."
"Who is the leader?" Liu Taiyi, who had not spoken, raised his head and looked at Zhao Tieleng and asked faintly.
Seeing that his words were interrupted by Liu Taiyi, Zhao Tieleng, who was already dissatisfied with Liu Taiyi, had a trace of undetectable anger flashed in his eyes, and he replied indifferently: "The Divine Arrow Lord of the Tang Dynasty, that is, Zi Yang's son, Zi Chen."
"Zi Chen?"
When he heard that the person who led the troops on the Tang Dynasty was Zi Chen, a faint smile appeared on Liu Taiyi's face and he no longer spoke.
Seeing that Liu Taiyi stopped speaking, Zhao Tieleng continued: "The iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty brought by Zi Chen is still sixty miles away. Hu Yunlie, who was trapped in Xia Pi City, has long seen through my tricks, so he has not broken through for a long time. When the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty arrived, the old man Hu Yunlie would immediately open the city gate and attack us from both inside and outside. So, what we have to do now is to stop Hu Yunlie from attacking us both inside and outside. Friends from the southern countries, you will continue to besiege Xia Pi City. Once Hu Yunlie's people leave the city, you will immediately start to cover up the killing. As for the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty, we will hand them over to the Yunjin Empire and the Blue Moon Empire. Everyone has no objection!"
"No objection..." The generals from the southern countries replied one after another.
Liu Taiyi, who had been holding his sword, gently stroked the sword body and said lightly: "The grudge between your Yunjin Empire and the Tang Dynasty, our Lanyue Empire is not interested in participating. I have only one purpose this time, that is, Zi Chen, the Divine Arrow Lord of the Tang Dynasty, and the rest has nothing to do with me."
Refute face?
Zhao Tieleng didn't expect that Liu Taiyi would be so disrespectful to him.
When he heard that Liu Taiyi refused to send troops to deal with the Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, his face turned pale. He gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger in his chest, and said coldly: "Liu Taiyi, don't forget that launching this battle to destroy the country is the meaning of the Taoist sect leader. Could it be that you want to violate the sect leader's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect's sect'?"
"You threaten me?"
When Liu Taiyi heard Zhao Tieleng bring out the head of the Taoist sect, his face became cloudy.
"snort!"
Seeing that Liu Taiyi was not so arrogant that he dared not take the Taoist sect leader seriously, Zhao Tieleng also snorted coldly in his nose and said, "I'm just talking about the matter."
"Do you think the sword in my hand can't kill you, or do I, Liu Taiyi, dare not kill you?"
Seeing Liu Taiyi stand up, he looked at Zhao Tieleng with cold eyes. A group of Zhao Tieleng's confidant guards quickly surrounded him, looking at Liu Taiyi with fear in his eyes. On the contrary, Zhao Tieleng still looked at Liu Taiyi with a calm face, and smiled faintly: "I heard that you have entered the realm of Wuzong. If the time was not right, I wouldn't mind learning about your Liu Taiyi's swordsmanship."
"My goal is just Zi Chen. In fact, our Blue Moon Empire will not participate in the matter."
"I will tell the Taoist people exactly what you said."
"casual."
After Liu Taiyi finished speaking, he turned around and took his men out of Zhao Tieleng's central army tent.
Seeing that Liu Taiyi was so arrogant, Zhao Tieleng's face had become distorted. He took a deep breath. Before he could come out, he saw a soldier from the Yunjin Empire rushed in in panic, knelt in front of Zhao Tieleng, and shouted: "Emperor, the long-distance attack of the Tang Dynasty has penetrated our first layer of defense..."
“Long-distance raid?”
The group of people in the central army tent were stunned.
