Chapter 443 Chapter 446
Shen Mu sighed: "I'm afraid God is qualified to answer the question of the Holy Majesty, and it depends on the judgment and determination of the Holy Majesty. Cijian has a lot to do with it. Once it is lost, the blow to the morale of the army is immeasurable. I am most afraid that there will be more Luo Shixin. Your Majesty will be overwhelmed."

Wang Shichong said decisively: "Okay! I will stick to Cijian with all my strength according to the young commander's words."

Looking out of the city, he said slowly, word by word: "If I hand over the army to the command of the young marshal, what are the chances of the young marshal winning?"

Shen Mu was both surprised and happy when he heard that, knowing that Wang Shichong had lost confidence after seeing the military formation of the Tang Dynasty, so he became dependent on him.Wang Shichong knew very well that if he was Shen Mu, he would not dare to face the enemy's army that was several times larger than his own. However, he, Shen Mu, was able to attack under this disadvantage and win a small victory. He has won Wang Shichong and the army General's goodwill and respect.Otherwise, Wang Shichong would not have said this.

Shen Mu glanced at the continuous lights of the enemy's formation, laughed and said: "Then Li boy is going to have a hard time today!"

Shen Mu stepped out of the city gate, Yang Gongqing came up to meet him and said, "What does he have to say?"

Shen Mu whispered, "How about going outside the camp?"

Yang Gongqing sent people to bring the horses, and the two rode out of the camp together. On the way, they met Ma Chang. Ma Chang smiled and said: "If it is not for the young commander to accompany him, the young general will definitely stop Yang Lao from leaving the camp. The young commander knows the strategy The government has the habit of sending people to fight with the enemy camp. They challenge another enemy repeatedly in the middle of the night. This can not only harass the enemy, but also show off their power if the other party can't shrink back. If you send troops out of the camp to hunt down, then say Maybe it will fall again. Ha! But this time they didn’t dare to repeat this technique, because we have a young commander to help us out, and they will go around endlessly if they are annoyed by the young commander.”

Shen Mu laughed and said: "Your elder brother's words made my heart burst into joy, and he really is a master of flattering."

After leaving the camp, Shen Mu said: "Ma Chang is quite a good person, he is brave and resourceful. Let's see that he can still make jokes with ease, as if he doesn't take life and death seriously."

Yang Gongqing said: "This man is indeed a talent. Yes! What tricks does Wang Shichong have?"

Shen Mu and him rode up a small hill, carefully observed the situation far and near, and said with a smile: "Wang Shichong is too timid to fight!"

Yang Gongqing was stunned and said: "He hasn't formally confronted Li Shimin yet, but he's actually scared, is he still using it?"

Shen Mu said: "What big battle did he fight? Li Mi's battle was won by Mr. Yang and I. His so-called victories in the past were just serving the strong and bullying the weak, and suppressing the rebel army who hadn't made it for Yang Guang. Li Shimin There are countless famous teachers in the world, the military strength is stronger than ours, the training is better than ours, his generals are like clouds, and his advisors are like rain. It might be better if he can't defend him behind the high wall of Luoyang. How can he not feel guilty and discouraged in the plain battle? Damn!"

Yang Gongqing was puzzled and said, "Even if he was afraid, he wouldn't tell you."

Shen Mu stared intently at the brightly lit enemy camp in the distance, and said with a smile: "Of course he won't confide in me, but he asked me to offer advice by his side tomorrow, if he indirectly commands the army for him, as a person, if he is not a coward How dare you make such an arrangement."

Yang Gongqing said in astonishment: "Tomorrow? Li Shimin's position is not stable, so he shouldn't attack so soon!"

Shen Mu said in a deep voice: "This is exactly my strategy. It doesn't matter if Li Shimin comes to attack tomorrow or not, we will also send troops to demonstrate and invite Li Shimin to come to a small test. If he can't shrink back, we will Just take it as a rehearsal, if he dares to fight, he will be led by the nose."

Yang Gongqing took a deep breath and said: "Will the young commander overestimate our combat capability? In this hilly plain, if we can win, we can go straight ahead, otherwise the army will be defeated like a mountain. Success, the whole army is exhausted at every turn. Li Shimin's Eastern Expeditionary Army is carefully selected from the 60 troops of the Tang Dynasty. It is the elite of the elite. Shuai must think twice."

Shen Mu calmly smiled and said, "I don't have the extravagant hope of defeating Li Shimin's army tomorrow, but how can we win this battle without taking some risks? If we wait for the Tang army to recharge their batteries and attack, it is better for us to strike first. If we can fight tomorrow If the spring is evenly divided, the morale of our army will be boosted, and the enemy will be just the opposite."

Then he lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Yang, don't blame me for speaking bluntly. From the commander to the soldiers, most of the people on our side have the same opinion of Tang Jun as you, Mr. Yang, thinking that coming to Cijian is just a false response." In the end, I still have to go back to Luoyang. But I don’t think so, so I let Li Xiaozi show my Shen Mu’s methods here.”

Yang Gongqing pondered for a while, then sighed: "Now I understand more and more the difference between the young commander and us, but is that coward Wang Shichong willing to take this risk?"

Shen Mu laughed dumbly and said, "Who told him to want to be emperor, of course he has to bet on it! Come on! Let's look around so that we can work hard for tomorrow's big battle."

Shen Mu and Yang Gongqing made a big circle, passed through a forest in the north, and stopped their horses when they reached the edge of the forest.

Yang Gongqing smiled and said, "Is the young commander already prepared?"

Shen Mu nodded and said: "Now I am more sure." Then he pointed to a small hill in the middle of the two camps and said, "If I were Li Shimin, I would use this hill as a commanding platform, so that I can see the overall situation and not be afraid of being attacked by the enemy." Raid."

Yang Gongqing said: "What if we occupy this hill first?"

Shen Mu shook his head and said: "We can't force ourselves, we can only rely on the city to form an array like this morning, which is convenient for attacking and retreating. Unless Li Shimin dare not fight, we will climb up the hill to show off our power and retreat after seeing the scenery. Ha! On the battlefield The scenery. Hey!"

Yang Gongqing also saw more than 20 riders appearing on the top of the hill.

Shen Mugong gathered his eyes, stared intently, and said in shock, "Boy Li won't be so cheap to me! One of them seems to be him."

Yang Gongqing was startled and said: "If Li Shimin is really patrolling the battlefield, then everyone else must be first-class masters. I'm afraid the two of us will suffer."

Shen Mu shook his head and said, "It's not two people, but me alone. Mr. Yang is only here to guard the battle. If I can be ruthless and kill Li Xiaozi, we can get back to Pengliang tonight. Damn it! I Whether we can do it in this situation, in the final analysis, Li Xiaozi and I have made friends."

Yang Gongqing said: "On the battlefield, it's either you die or I die. There is no one to talk about, and it is even more unscrupulous. The question is whether the young commander really has the confidence to deal with so many people. It's better to wait for me to go back and call in a group of good men to help out. It's safer. .”

Shen Mu said: "Once the opportunity is gone, it will never return, not to mention that if a large number of people kill them in a mighty manner, it will only be a surprise, it's up to me."

After saying that, he flew off the horse.

Yang Gongqing was taken aback, leaned forward and grabbed his shoulder, and persuaded him, "It's too dangerous!"

Shen Mu looked up at the starry sky and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang seems to have forgotten that I am not afraid of facing Jieli's thousands of horses and horses. There are more than 20 elite soldiers in the district. It is more than enough to scare others, but I still haven't put them in Shen Mu's eyes." Inside."

Infected by his strong self-confidence, Yang Gongqing couldn't help letting go.

Shen Mu flashed out of the forest as quickly as light smoke, and under the cover of long grass and bushes, he sneaked towards the enemy's horse like a ghost.

Shen Mu jumped out from behind the bushes and trees, rushed to Qiupo like a shooting star, and rushed towards Li Shimin.

Facing this side, Pang Yu and the two master guards were alert at the same time and shouted loudly. After realizing that the person who came was Shen Mu, he quickly jumped up from his horse, drew out his weapon, and intercepted Shen Mu head-on with one sword and two swords.

Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, Luo Shixin and the sixteen personal guards on the top of the hill did not make a mess as Shen Mu expected. Li Shimin laughed and said, "Young commander, don't come here unharmed!"

Changsun Wuji and others took out their weapons one after another, surrounded Li Shimin in groups, and then separated five master guards to dismount and deal with Shen Mu.

Shen Mu felt that it was a pity, if he was able to sneak up to Qiupo only to be discovered, or if the opponent rode his horse to intercept him, he could use his agility much more flexible than a horse, and seize the opportunity to attack Li Shimin close-up. Now it has become a battle between the two sides.Responding: "Brother Shimin is still in style, gratifying to congratulate."

"Zheng"!
The long sword came out from his back, swiped forward, hit the sword that Pang Yu was attacking, and then moved his body slightly to the right, only narrowly avoiding the sword that cut to the head and neck, and the long sword swept across, viciously On the back of the sword that the master on the right slashed from the side.

Pang Yu first let out a muffled snort, Yun Jian's right hand was vacant, with nowhere to focus, and was extremely sad.

"when"!
The master guard on the right was staggered and fell away by him with a knife. It turned out that Shen Mu had borrowed part of his inner strength from Pang Yu, how could this gentleman not suffer immediately.

While Shen Mu swept away the enemy on the right, his left foot flew out, and the toe of the boot hit the blade of the enemy on the left. People spurted blood and fell back.

When Pang Yu hurriedly retreated, five master guards armed with guns passed Pang Yu and rushed towards Shen Mu regardless of their own safety.

Li Shimin and others on the top of the hill gasped when they saw that Shen Mu had become so powerful, he was no longer the Shen Mu they were familiar with.

Shen Mu laughed, stood up, and fired five spears into the air.

Shen Mu is so shrewd. Seeing five people using their spears in unison, he judged that these five master guards must be proficient in a certain formation that can bring out the advantages of long spears, so how dare they be entangled by them.

Pang Yu, who swooped back from Qiupo again, was puzzled. Shen Mu shot straight up into the sky, and when he was exhausted, he had to fall straight back to the ground. How could he deal with the five long spears waiting for him on the ground? I can only stand by and wait.

On the top of the slope, Li Shimin and the others had no time to think, except for Li Shimin, everyone put down their weapons, took the bow with their right hand, and the arrow with their left hand, and shot at Shen Mu who was still rising with a full round bow.

The sound of bowstrings exploded in succession, and fourteen powerful arrows shot out, weaving into a net of arrows and shooting towards Shen Mu. As long as Shen Mu follows the current upward trend, he will definitely become a target.

Li Shimin couldn't bear it, but he vaguely felt that Shen Mu would not be killed so easily.

Sure enough, Shen Mu let out a long laugh, his true energy changed, and he changed from straight up to sideways, not only dodging the deadly arrow, but also passed Pang Yu, and rushed straight towards the people on the hill.

Pang Yu yelled loudly, leaned towards the sky, and chased Shen Mu's back with the sword in his hand.

Shen Mu's castration increased, he quickly distanced himself from Pang Yu's sword, and threw it at Li Shimin on the top of the hill.

Yuchi Jingde and the others never imagined that Shen Mu would have such a unique skill of reversing the true energy and changing the direction of the body, they all lost their budget, and before they had time to take out their usual weapons, they leaped from their horses to meet Shen Mu in the air, and with the big bow in their hands, Swing hard attack.

They are all experienced warriors, and they are not chaotic in times of crisis. Not only do they not slam into a ball in the air, but they also cooperate with each other. Half of them form a net of attacking and intercepting people, while the other half are busy drawing their bows to draw. Weapons, stay put.

From Shen Mu's attack until now, it's only a blink of an eye, which shows how intense the battle is.

Li Shimin pulled out his sword, he himself is also very strong in martial arts, although he saw Shen Mu's unstoppable courage and his strange moves, he was still fearless.

Pang Yu's sword went straight to Shen Mu's back, and the five gunmen also fought back. As long as Yuchi Jingde, Luo Shixin and the three personal guards successfully intercepted Shen Mu, Shen Mu would be surrounded and he would die.

Changsun Wuji stood beside Li Shimin, staring intently at Shen Mu's approach. Among the generals, he and Yuchi Jingde had the highest martial arts skills. Take into account various contingency methods under changing circumstances.

The first to meet Shen Mu was Yuchi Jingde, a master of his rank, even though he had a longbow instead of the usual Guizang whip, his moves were fierce and mighty.Seeing that he could barely hit the opponent's long sword, he didn't know that the long sword was coming from a sudden slash, but it suddenly changed. When he was screaming in his heart, the long bow had no time to change, and Shen Mu's blade picked it up on the bowstring.

Shen Mu laughed loudly and said, "This is called deceit! What appears to be true is false, and falsehood becomes reality."

"collapse"!
The bowstring is broken in half, and the bow body bounces straight.

The most ingenious part of this knife is that it avoids the most serious and takes the lightest, instead of fighting head-on with Yuchi Jingde, it strikes at the weakest part of the longbow to defuse the enemy's attack.Just imagine how the bent bow turned into a straight wood, plus the strength produced when it was straightened, Ren Yuchi Jingde is so good, it is difficult to change his moves for a while to fight back, and he is afraid that Shen Mu will kill again, so he has no choice but to sink, but he does not Worrying, Luo Shixin's saber and the swords of the other three guard masters can teach Shen Mu to deal with it poorly.

Unexpectedly, Shen Mu used the power of picking the bowstring to rise up, and with a somersault, he completely avoided the interception in the air, and then threw it at Li Shimin who was only guarded by Changsun Wuji and the remaining three personal guards on the hill.

Regardless of the strategic knife technique, Shen Mu used it superbly and wonderfully.

Pang Yu, who was too late to catch up, fell back to the ground, feeling regretful in his heart, if he had just braked quietly and stood firm on the top of the hill, he would not have fallen into the situation before him, if Shen Mu had let Shen Mu attack Li Shimin head-on, even if Li Shimin was unharmed afterwards, they would have been unable to escape protection Ignorant sin.

Changsun Wuji made a quick decision, seeing that Li Shimin was about to swing his sword to meet the enemy, he shouted wildly: "You stop him!"

Grabbing the reins of Li Shimin's mount, he turned the horse's head and ran towards the camp.

The three guards had swords in the right and shields in the left, and rushed towards Shen Mu who was descending from the sky.

"broken"!
The long sword hit one of the shields like lightning, bounced upwards, called out another breath out of thin air, and shot towards Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji like arrows.Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji had just rushed down the hillside, although their horses were very handsome, they still couldn't let go of all four hooves and reached full speed, but Shen Mu's body skills had already fully unfolded, rushing to them like a shooting star.

Changsun Wuji was ready for a long time, turned over, landed from the back of the horse, and the jade Xiao in his hand turned into thousands of light spots reflecting the stars and moon in the sky, heading towards Shen Mu's stormy spot where his feet were about to touch the ground.

He calculated very precisely, and shot before Shen Mu touched the ground, that was an embarrassing moment when Shen Mu's old strength was gone and new strength was not born.Shen Mu yelled violently, stretched out his toes, and touched the ground one step earlier than Changsun Wuji expected, and then spun towards him like a top, and the human sword merged into one.

The sound of "ding ding" was endless, Changsun Wuji tried his best to hit Yu Xiao more than ten times, all of which were on the body of the long sword, but he still couldn't stop the attacking force of the sword, so he had to go forward Fly back, otherwise, if Shen Mu ran into his arms with a knife, he would be chopped into multiple pieces like being divided by five horses.

However, Shen Mu sighed in his heart, and secretly praised Zhangsun Wuji for his great skill, because he blocked these tricks with all his strength, he made himself miss the golden opportunity to get rid of Li Shimin, a formidable enemy, and failed.

Chang laughed and said: "Brother Shimin, go slowly, I won't see you off!"

Li Shimin rushed down to Qiupo early, turned his head and said with a smile: "How about having a heart-to-heart talk with the young marshal later?"

Shen Mu quickly slipped away before being surrounded by the enemy.

The sound of weapons clashing was endless, and amidst the crowds of soldiers cheering and cheering, Shen Mu, shirtless, practiced martial arts with twelve Yang Gongqing's personal soldiers selected by Ma Changjing. Live applause, the atmosphere is hot.

"Chachacha"!
Shen Mu spread out his strange steps, quickly escaped from the encirclement, raised his knife and said with a smile: "That's it for today, let's save some strength to fight Li Shimin!"

Shen Mu came to Yang Gongqing who was watching the battle with a smile on his face, and the soldiers who were in charge of taking his clothes hurriedly wiped his sweat and put on his clothes.

Yang Gongqing said with a smile: "The young commander is so sharp, isn't he afraid of attracting the taboo of the saint?"

Shen Mu kept the sun-shooting bow well, and said lightly: "He should be grateful to me." Looking at the defenders who were still saluting him on the wall, he said: "This is the best way to boost morale. Preaching, using actual actions to show my strength, it will have unexpected effects on the battlefield. This trick is learned from Xieli. Before attacking Longquan, Xieli and a group of soldiers shot arrows in the rear camp for fun. This is the style of a true general."

Yang Gongqing said happily: "I should be the person who respects your saber skills the most here. Except for the young commander, who can treat Li Shimin's personal soldiers as nothing, so that he can only ride for his life to kill him."

Shen Mu said dejectedly: "Don't mention it! It's only a little bit short, and I don't have to get up early in the morning to perform a monkey show."

There was a sudden sound of hoofbeats, and a rider rushed out of the city. The two of them saw that it was the general Zhang Zhi who was officially ordered to deliver orders for Wang Shichong. Shen Mu and Yang Gongqing both felt bad when they looked at each other.

Zhang Zhi got off his horse in front of the two of them, and said, "We'll talk about it after we enter the account."

Shen Mu didn't move, he frowned and asked, "Does General Zhang have orders from the Holy One?"

Yang Gongqing snorted coldly: "What instructions do you have from the Holy Spirit?"

Zhang Zhi said in a low voice in embarrassment: "My lord ordered me to verbally order to cancel today's proactive attack, and to wait and see what happens."

Shen Mu and Yang Gongqing lost their voices at the same time: "What?"

Even though Yang Gongqing originally did not agree to go to war today, Wang Shichong's order to change the government is a big taboo for military strategists.Now that everyone is ready and morale is booming, Wang Shichong's cowardly behavior is like pouring a plate of cold water on them, how can people not be disheartened.

Zhang Zhi smiled wryly, "The Holy One thinks..."

Shen Mu gestured to stop him from continuing, then jumped on the horse and shouted: "I'll go and tell him."
