Chapter 1325: Sneak attack on the rear

"Where did this monk come from?"

Li Renzhong frowned, everything was going relatively smoothly originally, but the enemy's declaration of war and invasion made the entire Xixia army filled with indignation, which was a sign of high morale.

But Deng Yuanjue suddenly got into trouble, and everyone began to discuss where this monk came from and why he was still preaching Buddhism on the battlefield.

Moreover, Deng Yuanjue's martial arts also shocked them. The one who fought was one of their strongest warriors in Xixia. Faced with such a warrior, Deng Yuanjue still had time to talk about Buddhism.

"I'm sick!"

The black-faced man's head was swollen when Deng Yuanjue said it, and his moves were a little deformed. He felt as if there were a bunch of flies buzzing in his ears.

"Donor, please know that there is no end to the sea of ​​suffering and you will never come back..."

Deng Yuanjue still spoke with a compassionate look on his face while beating him.

The black-faced man couldn't stand it anymore, so he found an opening and ran back to the formation.

"Prince Jin, this demon monk knows demon magic!"

The black-faced man said to Brother Richard that he was not injured at all, but his head was about to explode. He thought this was the other party's magic.

"Who can fight that monk!"

Brother Richard naturally didn't believe in any magic and looked at the generals around him.

But the result is that they always turn their heads away. They are not afraid of death, but they have a natural fear of religion.

"If you don't dare to go, then let me go!"

Li Heda, the commander-in-chief of Xiazhou, spoke.

Li Heda, whose original name was Xiao Heda, was a Khitan from the Liao Kingdom. At that time, Xixia and the Liao Kingdom had a close relationship. In order to consolidate the relationship, Li Qianshun asked Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom to marry him.

Emperor Tianzuo named Yelu Nanxian, the daughter of the clan, as Princess Cheng'an and married her to Qian Shun. Xiao Heda was the escort who escorted Princess Cheng'an to Xixia, so she stayed in Xixia.

Xiao Heda was very eloquent, brave and good at fighting. He was a talented person who was capable of both literary and military work. Li Qianshun valued him very much because he had repeatedly made military exploits and was promoted to the capital to guard Xiazhou.

"Okay, Li Dutong will go and destroy that monk's arrogance!"

Brother Richard nodded.

Li Heda laughed and swung his spear to kill him.

"Really let Li Heda go?"

Li Renzhong looked at Brother Richard and asked, Li Heda is indeed brave, but Li Heda is a Khitan after all. It was fine before, but when the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, Li Heda could only lead the remnants of the Liao Kingdom to be loyal to Xixia, but since Yelu Dashi established the Western Liao, no The minds of the Khitan people who stayed in Xixia for a short time became active.

The remnants of the Khitan are thinking of leaving Xixia and joining Xiliao, and their leader is Li Heda, so the Xixia leaders are not willing to let Li Heda perform meritorious services.

"I can't help it, that monk is very weird, and others won't dare to come forward!"

Brother Richard shook his head helplessly. Deng Yuanjue's sudden appearance caught him off guard. All Xixia people believed in Buddhism, except Li Heda, a Khitan.

"Monk, I'm different from those people, don't use your evil methods on me!"

Li Heda looked at Deng Yuanjue and said.

"The donor does not believe in Buddhism, so the poor monk can only use this shining iron Zen staff to talk to the donor!"

Deng Yuanjue looked at Li Heda and saw that this man's eyes were sharp. He knew that this man probably did not believe in Buddhism. In addition to being able to persuade the heretics with words, he had to surrender by force.

Deng Yuanjue held the Zen staff in both hands and made a Buddhist salute, then suddenly swung the Zen staff towards Li Heda. Deng Yuanjue, who was under full strength, had to be careful even with Lu Zhishen.

Li Heda was suddenly touched by Alexander. He had just watched for a long time and thought that Deng Yuanjue was nothing more than this. However, he did not expect that Deng Yuanjue was completely different from before. He was silent and his moves were fierce and fierce.

Liu Fa on the other side also fought with the enemy for a long time. Liu Fa was not in a hurry to win. He was not good at fighting generals. He was the leading general.

Liu Fa changed his position while fighting, looking a little overwhelmed. This made the Xixia general opposite very proud, as if he could capture Liu Fa at any time.

Liu Fa's killings often involve massacres of cities in Xixia, which makes Xixia people hate Liu Fa to the core. If they can kill Liu Fa or capture Liu Fa alive, they will become famous in Xixia.

Liu Fa didn't care what the enemy thought. While fighting, he carefully observed the enemy's formation configuration.

"Report! Your Highness, King Jin, Guwuyan City was attacked by the enemy!" A man on horseback hurriedly ran to Brother Richard to report.

"What? Gu Wuyan City!"

Brother Richard's expression changed greatly. Ancient Wuyan City was forty miles north of Hongzhou City and by the Wuding River. Their grain and grass were all stored in Ancient Wuyan City.

"You lead the troops to rescue quickly! There must be no loss in Guwuyan City!"

Brother Richard looked at Li Renzhong and said.

Li Renzhong did not hesitate, ordered 30,000 troops and horses, and headed north.

"Lu Zhishen!"

Brother Richard gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Zhishen in the distance. He realized that Lu Zhishen had sent people to sneak attack a long time ago. Fortunately, he was also prepared. He knew that food and grass were the top priority, so he left troops and horses to defend.

"Report, His Majesty the King of Jin, the enemy has captured the north of Shilijing, and the enemy has gone north!"

Another cavalryman came to report.

"What! Shilijingbei was captured?"

Brother Richard's expression changed again. The enemy not only raided their rear with troops and horses, but also made two detours.

"I'm afraid Li Renzhong can't stop it alone, so you should lead the troops too!"

Brother Richard looked at Li Renli on the side and said, the enemy is bound to win in two detours, and he must face it cautiously.

"it is good!"

Li Renli nodded and left.

The changes in the Xixia army were obvious, and the departure of the 60,000-strong army attracted everyone's attention.

Li Heda frowned slightly. He noticed the changes in the rear formation, and he was full of confusion.

"The elite are almost half gone!"

Liu Fa observed the results. He had been fighting with the Xixia people for more than ten years. He could tell at a glance how effective the Xixia soldiers were.

"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of war drums rang in the Qi army formation, followed by the sound of cavalry charge horns.

The Qi army rushed out directly, targeting the Xixia army outside Hongzhou City.

"Array up!"

Brother Richard was originally thinking about the enemy's detour, but was awakened by the sound of drums and horns, and hurriedly ordered his soldiers to form defensive formations.

But the result was chaos. Sixty thousand troops had just left, and the gaps and gaps left by their departure had not yet been filled.

The Qi army seized this opportunity. The 200,000-strong Xixia army was not that simple to command. It was okay to command when nothing happened, but the enemy had already begun to charge. The soldiers were in panic and faced various complex situations. The command can be responded to.

"Go back to the city!"

Brother Richard saw that the soldiers were in chaos and knew that the battle could not be fought, so he could only let the army retreat to the city.

Lu Zhishen led his army to the front of the battle, swung his water-grinded Zen staff, and knocked the Western Xia soldiers in front of him away.

The armies rushed together and the Xixia army directly approached Hongzhou to resist.

"fire!"

Brother Richard shouted at the defenders on the city.

With the sound of artillery, black projectiles flew out and landed in the Qi Guo formation.

With the cover of artillery, the Qi army's offensive weakened, while the Xixia army was rushing towards Hongzhou City.
