The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 437 Showdown in front of the city, Su Lie breaks through

Chapter 430 Five duel in front of the city, Su Lie breaks through
The two armies stared at each other for a long time, and Shi Siming couldn't help but rode out first, and shouted: "Su Dingfang, attack our Zhuo County, kill my son, Shi will behead you today!"

Hearing this, Su Lie was not inferior at all, he also galloped out with his horse, swiped the saber in his palm, and said proudly: "It's up to you?"

"My Su Lie's head is here now, if you have the ability, feel free to come and get it."

Just to say, when he said these words, Su Lieqi's expression was quite confident, as if he didn't take Shi Siming seriously.

Seeing this, the generals of the An army and their lieutenant generals were furious, clamoring to attack in one fell swoop and wipe out the Qi army in order to dispel the hatred in their hearts!

At this time, Yi Ziqi, who was on the side, thought about what Su Lie did that day, which caused him to lose Zhuo County and fled in embarrassment.

In an instant, he couldn't help being filled with anger and couldn't help being depressed. He was extremely angry and waved his knife to challenge Shi Siming to fight against Su Lie.

"General, please allow the last general to call for battle. If he goes to battle Su Lie, he will be beheaded under his horse, and he will avenge Zhuo County with an arrow, and beat the Qi army hard."

Seeing this, Shi Siming saw that he was so angry. Although he felt uncomfortable in his heart, he did not dissuade him.

After all, at this time the chief general in the army is Shi Siming, not Yi Ziqi, and with his own support, it shouldn't be a big problem to think of him!

As the chief general, one cannot simply suppress the generals in the army. It is also extremely necessary to keep them calm and moderate, and to properly stimulate their fighting spirit.

Immediately, Shi Siming couldn't help waving his whip and asked, "Are you sure you can defeat Su Lie?"

Hearing this, Yi Ziqi couldn't help but squinted at Su Lie, and then replied: "This time, the last general has observed that Qin Qiong, the fierce general of the Qi army, is not in the army."

"As for Su Lie, during the fall of Zhuo County, apart from playing tricks and tricks, he did not show any bravery."

"Therefore, the final general will be able to chop Su Lie off his horse in one fell swoop and retrieve his head, so as to lay the foundation for Erlang who died in battle."

In fact, Yi Ziqi was only afraid of Qin Qiong who fought hard to kill Linghu Chao back then, and his image of Su Lie was only as a Confucian general, thinking that his martial arts skills were sparse.

After hearing these words, although Shi Siming still felt inappropriate, he thought that Yi Ziqi was also a brave general and would not easily cause accidents, so he allowed him to play.

Immediately afterwards, Yi Ziqi, full of anger, galloped his horse and brandished a knife to meet and kill him. He also showed a look of extreme contempt during his dashing, and looked down on Su Lie at all.

Seeing this, Su Lie's eyes were sharp, and he caught Yi Ziqi's state in an instant, and it was expected that he would be very contemptuous of him.

Su Lie couldn't help but secretly clenched his saber, and secretly used his strength to deal with Yi Ziqi's attack!

Obviously, if Yi Ziqi underestimated the enemy and was careless, he would definitely suffer a big loss.

"boom!"

The two horses collided, and the two sabers struck each other in the air, making an extremely ear-splitting "buzzing" sound, but Yi Ziqi fell into an absolute disadvantage under this blow.

The most critical factor was not that Yi Ziqi's martial arts were low, but that he underestimated Su Lie's martial prowess too much, thinking that his martial arts were ordinary, so he only used nearly one-third of his strength.

But he didn't expect that Su Lie actually possessed a first-class late-stage peak cultivation, and his martial arts were far above Yi Ziqi's.

With one strike, Su Lie seized the opportunity and did not give him any chance to breathe. The saber attack in his palm intensified, attacking Yi Ziqi.

Because Yi Ziqi lost the opportunity for a while, he had to be suppressed, and was almost helpless to fight back!
After about half a stick of incense passed by, the two had been fighting for more than a hundred bouts, Yi Ziqi gradually couldn't hold on anymore, and his situation was already dangerous.

At this time, in the army formation, Shi Siming, who was watching the formation, saw that Yi Ziqi's situation was no longer optimistic, and because he was worried about his safety, he immediately waved his gun and ordered the whole army to attack.

All of a sudden, all the soldiers of the An army walked towards the Qi army's war cavalry with firm steps together!

Seeing this, Lu Zhishen, who was in charge of the team for the time being, couldn't help but slapped his Zen staff, and said angrily: "Generals of Daqi, the rebels have already come in full force, and our army is all elite, so how can we be afraid of bandits?"

"Rush up and crush the rebels!"

For a moment, under the leadership of Lu Zhishen, the cavalry of the Qi army headed straight for the An army like a torrent of steel!

Although the number of the Qi army is small and cannot be compared with the An army, the knights of the Qi army only have a face of determination, courage to see death as home, and no false alarm.

This really reflects the sentence, even if the enemy is outnumbered, the last general can take the head of the enemy general from the ten thousand troops.

In an instant, the two armies crashed into each other, brazenly fighting, and the scuffle began.

At this time, both Lu Zhishen and Shi Siming fought in person, and the two armies almost fought until the sky was dark and the night was dark.

Moreover, since Lu Zhishen was better at fighting on foot, he handed over the horse under his crotch to his personal guards for safekeeping, while he jumped off the horse and started fighting.

For a moment, the extremely thick ink Zen staff swept away, and the moves of opening and closing smashed the soldiers who approached.

Not only that, every time Lu Zhishen moved, some rebel soldiers would die. Such a scene can be called a "giant meat grinder."

Although Shi Siming's martial arts were not weak at all, but also because he used a long spear, he was not as active as Lu Zhishen when killing soldiers.

In a blink of an eye, Lu Zhishen, who was fighting on foot, met Shi Siming, and without saying a word, he ran straight to the group.

This fight was like a galloping army, as evidenced by a poem: "Wearing a white robe and stabbing with a long spear, you can fight without frowning."

"The monk's Zen stick is majestic, sweeping away thousands of troops and invincible!"

For a while, Lu Zhishen fought with Shi Siming, who was on the horse and carrying a spear, with his incomparable divine power and his thick ink Zen staff.

However, after dozens of rounds, Shi Siming has found Lu Zhishen's weakness, that is, the weight of the weapons he uses is too heavy, which makes it difficult to move and is extremely clumsy!
Therefore, all of a sudden, Shi Siming made a decisive decision, immediately changed his tactics, and used the mobility of the horse to continuously swim against Lu Zhishen with the long spear in his hand, instead of attacking him head-on and consuming his physical strength.

In this regard, Lu Zhishen had nothing to do about it. After a while, Lu Zhishen's physical strength was gradually losing.

With the loss of physical strength, Shi Siming gained the upper hand more and more, and soon gradually suppressed Lu Zhishen.

For a while, not only Lu Zhishen was suppressed, but the cavalry soldiers of the Qi army were gradually surrounded by the soldiers of the An army, and the situation became more and more unfavorable!

As the leader of an army, Su Lie's ability to see all directions and listen to all directions is naturally indispensable. Although he is fighting Yi Ziqi, he is always paying attention to the battle situation.

For a while, Su Lie realized that his army was gradually losing ground, and after being unable to resist, he knew in his heart that the battle must be resolved quickly.

Because Yi Ziqi was inferior to Su Lie in martial arts, and because he underestimated the enemy and was suppressed, he was always on passive defense.

At this time, due to the influence of his own army, Su Lie's offensive became even more ferocious. He swung his saber again and again, and Yi Ziqi's pressure doubled immediately.

Moreover, the more fiercely he attacked, Su Lie actually felt that there was a magical power in his internal organs that was increasing to the limit, making his combat power continuously increase.

This wonderful feeling couldn't help but cheer up Su Lie, followed by ecstasy.

Because, this is the feeling of breaking the bottleneck and wanting to break through!

Yes, that's right, Su Lie is about to make a breakthrough just before the battle!
A quick slash, the knife was extremely swift and fierce, aiming at Yi Ziqi's head.

Fortunately, Yi Ziqi reacted in time, blocked him with a knife, and then tilted his head, so he almost missed the blow.

Seeing that this attack did not succeed, Su Lie did not lose heart, instead he entered a static state, absorbing the power of the breakthrough just now.

Di, it was detected that Su Lie made a breakthrough and broke his own bottleneck. Now the realm of martial arts has been raised to the realm of a peerless warrior.

Su Lie's basic force: 98, now increased by 2 points to 100 force.

"Huh? Su Lie's martial power has actually broken through to a peerless realm?"

For a while, Gao Qi, who was dealing with Shuofang's government affairs, couldn't help exclaiming after hearing this.

On the other hand, at this time, Yi Ziqi already secretly felt that something was wrong, because he already felt that Su Lie's aura at this time was quite different from just now, and seemed to be much stronger.

"Su Lie, have you broken through, the peerless realm?"

For a moment, Yi Ziqi knew that he had already broken through, and that he was no longer an opponent, so he couldn't help feeling timid, and immediately rode his horse and fled back to the main formation.

However, in front of Su Lie who is in the peerless state, how could it be so easy to escape?

It's just that the moment Yi Ziqi rode his horse back, Su Lie had already rode his horse to rein in the horse's crotch, and his hooves immediately galloped up, galloping forward!
How could the speed of an ordinary war horse under Yi Ziqi's crotch be faster than that of Su Lie's horse?

"Pfft!"

Raise the knife in your hand and drop it, and the knife will go up from the back and kill him!

Yi Ziqi's huge body fell down, and was split in half by Su Lie.

For a moment, Su Lie's murderous aura immediately overwhelmed the An army sergeants who were fighting, and they all froze on the spot, their aura was shocked, and then the morale of the army fell infinitely.

Immediately, Su Lie didn't hesitate at all, after beheading Yi Ziqi, he galloped his horse straight to the direction where Lu Zhishen and Shi Siming were fighting.

A knife slowly slashed towards Shi Siming's back from the back, and Shi Siming, who was galloping and attacking Lu Zhishen, couldn't help being shocked, and immediately swung his gun back to block!

"boom!"

The gun and the knife collided instantly, producing a sound of metal intersecting and colliding.

For a while, Su Lie probably had an assessment of Shi Siming's martial arts, knowing that his force was superior to Yi Ziqi's, so he stopped fighting. After saving Lu Zhishen, he brandished a knife and commanded the soldiers to evacuate at full speed!
After all, the current situation of the battle is imminent, and the An army has far more sergeants than our own army. If we continue to fight, it will only be our own side that will suffer.

Therefore, how can Su Lie, who is good at using troops, continue to resist in the corner, being able to advance and retreat is the real quality of a general.

After a fierce battle, under the command of Su Lie, the Qi army's cavalry gradually withdrew from the battlefield and galloped towards Ji County!

…………

Seeing this, Shi Siming knew that the opponents were all cavalry, and it was obviously not wise to pursue with his own infantry, so he gave up this idea.

Instead, let him restrain Yi Ziqi's body, quickly enter the city, re-occupy Zhuo County, and control him.

It's a pity that after entering the city, the main general, Shi Siming, was almost pissed off, because the city was in a mess at this time!
The most critical thing is that the military equipment and food in the treasury have been emptied one after another, without any supplies, it can be said to be cleaner than a human face.

"Damn, damn!"

"Su Lie, I, Shi Siming, will never die with you!"

Suddenly, seeing this, Shi Siming couldn't help being furious, pointing at the sky and roaring.

At this moment, seeing everything in the city, Shi Siming couldn't help but almost hated Su Lie to the marrow!
Immediately following, Shi Siming immediately dispatched scouts to investigate the whereabouts of the Qi army all the way in the direction of Ji County.

Immediately afterwards, Shi Siming began to arrange for soldiers to set up camp outside the city first, and then to clean up the city on a large scale.

On the way to clean up, one of the scouts couldn't help inquiring about a piece of news, and immediately reported to Shi Siming: "General, the villain found out that the Qi army couldn't take away a lot of food."

"Therefore, they wantonly opened warehouses in the city to release grain, and called on the common people in the city to receive grain."

"Therefore, at this time, our army also has a lot of food hidden in the homes of civilians. Do we need to send troops to take it back?"

Hearing this, it was only said that the eyes of the other generals immediately showed joy, and they all clapped their hands in praise: "General, the general is willing to lead the army to take back the food."

For a while, all the generals dared to be the first in the world, and asked for their orders one after another!
In fact, the most important reason why the generals are so willing to take back the food is that they can take the opportunity to loot and blackmail.

It should be noted that the civilians in the city are all unarmed, how can they fight against the soldiers?

Faced with these soldiers, the intimidation of the master official has no ability to resist at all, so he has to compromise!
It's just that Shi Siming couldn't see the true thoughts of the generals under his command, but he didn't want so much military rations to go to waste.

His mind was also gradually active, ready to take it back, but at the most critical moment, he completely reacted!
He couldn't help but muttered to himself: "Su Lie, Su Lie, you can use this trick once, do you want to use it a second time to defraud the general?"

"Are you saying, do you really think that Ben will be a fool like Yi Ziqi?"

At this time, Shi Siming had fully realized that this was another trap set by Su Lie.

After all, when Su Lie withdrew from the city, he had opened a warehouse to release the general's grain and distributed it to the civilians.

For the civilians, this food seemed to be their life. At this time, the own army took it back, and it was hard to guarantee that the civilians would not unite and resist in order to survive.

This is not the most deadly, the most important thing is that Shi Siming is worried that when the civilians revolt, Su Lie will take the opportunity to lead the army back.

Then he cooperated with the civilians in the city and captured Zhuo County again, defeating his own army.

After thinking through all this, Shi Siming immediately restrained himself. Not only that, he also issued a military order, saying: "This order is passed on, no one is allowed to bully the people, and those who disobey the order will be executed!"

For a while, although the generals were unwilling, they did not dare to disobey the general's order, so they had to obey secretly.

…………

Half a day later, the scouts of the An army finally returned and handed over the battle report of the Qi army.

Immediately, Shi Siming ordered on the spot to gather the whole army and prepare to pursue the Qi army, and must take back the military equipment and food.

It's a pity, but when the attack was about to be pursued, a piece of information in the city had to delay Shi Siming's plan!
What happened in Zhuo County?
