The middle-aged man did not dodge.

Everyone thought he would dodge.

Unless he wants to die.

But he didn't.

He neither dodged nor died.

So apart from those twenty horsemen, those who saw this scene were stunned.

The twenty riders did not slow down, and they rushed straight towards the middle-aged man. They should have knocked the middle-aged man away and then stepped on him to death. They were not afraid to do so. It was the middle-aged man who was seeking death by himself. They also happened to establish their authority by avoiding the refusal of food.

But the twenty riders failed to meet the middle-aged man.

When the middle-aged man was still seven steps away, they all flew backwards as if they were hitting a wall!

Twenty riders, in different directions, seemed to hit twenty walls and flew upside down from the ground several feet!

In front of them, the middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back.

At this moment, time seemed to be frozen.

The next moment, twenty cavalry fell to the ground from mid-air.

It's not falling freely, but it's like being smashed by something.

Around the middle-aged man, twenty rides were like dumplings planted in a pot, hitting heavily on the ground.

Smoke and dust were everywhere, and there were twenty large pits on the ground.

Everyone was alarmed and couldn't help but look here, and then they were stunned at the same time.

Twenty horses and horses were killed.

From beginning to end, the middle-aged man did not move any action.

But as long as you are not a fool, you know that this is his work.

Because the next moment, the middle-aged man looked towards the west of Taiyuan City.

Looking at him, he seemed to have seen something and disappeared from the spot.

It turned into a long rainbow and flew towards the west!

After a long time, the people of the town made a shocking call, and then they flocked to watch the twenty big pits. Everyone had a strong look of surprise and awe on their faces.

The young man stood by the pit and lost his mind for a long time.

Xu Crook also rushed over.

The two looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.

"Sir, who is this person?" The young man swallowed with difficulty, his tone full of awe and regret.

"How many people can be there in this world in this world?" Xu Cleizi was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "When Mr. left the wine shed, he said something, do you still remember it."

"Of course I remember!" the young man shouted, "Sir, the Pinglu Army will win...because, King An will not die!"

Xu Crook looked to the west. Under the light of the sunset, his eyes were filled with remembrance, "In the past, I guarded Gubeikou and encountered the Khitans sending 100,000 troops to invade the south. At that time, there were only 800 people in the pass. Eight hundred people were there. We fought with the attack of the Khitans, fought bloody battles for three days and three nights, and stood firm until reinforcements arrived."

The young man looked fascinated. It was the passion and ambition of the man he yearned for, but then he realized something and asked: "Can we lead the army to achieve such a record...Who was the head general of Gubeikou at that time?"

Xu Crook's eyes were full of sacred colors, and he said word by word: "His Royal Highness Lao An!"

The young man was shocked and then relieved, and said in a bowing tone: "No wonder, it turns out to be His Highness Lao An!"

Xu Crooker said: "At that time, King Lao An was still very young, which was his battle to become famous. Later, King Lao An fought in the north and south, governed the country and the people, and was praised by the world. Do you know what was the saying that has been circulating in the army near Gubeikou?"

"What do you mean?" The young man was very excited.

Xu Crook took a deep breath, "Will King An not die, the Tang Dynasty will not die!"

The young man was shocked again. But after a moment, he said sadly: "But Lao An still died in Bagong Mountain."

"No! King An is not dead!" Xu Crook suddenly became excited.

"Old lame man, you..." the young man was a little confused.

Xu Crook turned his head and stared at him, saying with great certainty: "Mr. I said just now, King An will not die!"

The young man was stunned.

......

Pinglu Army Camp.

Liu Dazheng's face looked ugly.

In front of him, a group of soldiers were walking, carrying the wounded to the back camp for treatment. Many people here were seriously injured, and even if they were cured, they lost their combat power. The Hedong Army continued to attack the large camp, and the number of wounded people was still too many.

The army should not have had so many casualties. With the combat power of the Pinglu Army, as long as it is not ravaged by the generals, there should not have been so many wounded people.

This can only show one problem, the soldiers' combat power is declining.

Liu Dazheng knew the reason very well.

There is only one reason: morale is sluggish.

"According to this trend, I'm afraid we won't last until dawn tomorrow." Zhao Polu said in a deep voice beside Liu Dazheng, "After the army's casualties cross the line, morale will collapse immediately, and the gate will not be able to be defended!"

Liu Dazheng's face was bleak, but he had no choice but to do anything. This sense of powerlessness made him, the commander of the army, suffer in great pain.

The rapid defeat of the Pinglu army was due to the insufficient number of generals, which caused a low morale. On the front battlefield, this was a problem that Liu Dazheng could not solve at all.

He asked, "Where is General Shangguan?"

"I am guarding the gate." Zhao Polu said, "Although there is a good geographical location, if Li Keyong leads people to fight for a while, I am afraid that General Shangguan will not be able to support it."

"Transfer her back. General Shangguan is His Highness's number one confidant. If she makes any mistakes, you and I can't explain it to His Highness!" Liu Dazheng said arduously, letting Shangguan Qingcheng, the number one combat power, be removed from the battlefield, which shows that Liu Dazheng has begun to give up the situation and is considering retreating.

Zhao Polu realized Liu Dazheng's intention and was also full of bitterness.

This time he went to Hedong, the Pinglu army won consecutive victories. He originally thought that he could conquer Taiyuan City in one go, but who would have thought that there would be a change in Li Ye's departure in the middle, which would make the situation take a sharp turn for the worse?

The generals had no ability to save the situation.

At this point, who has the ability to save the battle situation and can protect the Lu Army from 100,000 punts?

If the 100,000-pinlu army is gone, it is not the problem that Li Ye cannot get Hedong, but the problem that even Pinglu cannot defend! At that time, whether the Hedong army attacks Pinglu or other vassal states, Pinglu, who has no elite troops, will be slaughtered.

Pinglu is the foundation of Li Ye. Pinglu is gone, and in this chaotic world, Li Ye has no capital to compete for power. Now, unlike before the Huang Chao Rebellion, all the princes had already formed a power, and there was no time for Li Ye to develop slowly.

Zhao Polu could think of this, and Liu Dazheng could think of it, so their faces were extremely difficult to see.

However, now it is a dead end, so what can they do?

When he arrived at Yuanmen, Zhao Polu saw that the Hedong Army was launching a fierce attack on Shangguan Qingcheng's troops guarding Yuanmen.

After finding Shangguan Qingcheng, Zhao Polu said anxiously: "General Shangguan, General Liu has an order to ask you to evacuate from the gate!"

Shangguan Qingcheng, who was standing behind the female wall, said: "It cannot be withdrawn."

Zhao Polu had long known that Shangguan Qingcheng would not retreat lightly, and he said, "This is a military order!"

Shangguan Qingcheng glanced at him, then pointed at Hedongjun, "Look at what that is."

Zhao Polu turned his head and looked at it, and his eyes quickly shook. More than a hundred steps away, it was Li Keyong's handsome flag!

"Li Keyong came to attack the door in person. If I retreated at this moment, the gate would be broken immediately!" Shangguan Qingcheng said calmly.

Zhao Polu was silent for a while, "General Shangguan, how long can you stop Li Kerong?"

Shangguan Qingcheng said: "It won't be stopped for long. But at least it will allow General Liu to withdraw first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Hedong Army suddenly burst into a shout, and then a battle formation burst out with dazzling light. It turned out that Li Ke was using it in the battle formation. The battle formation rushed forward quickly and slapped the courtyard gate like a tide. The wall of the camp made the entire military camp tremble.

What followed was the fierce attack of the Hedong Army soldiers. They built a ladder, climbed up the female wall, and rushed forward and like ants. Some Hedong Army soldiers were hitting the gate with carts. In the camps of both sides, the rain of arrows continued to fly up and landed towards the other soldiers, providing cover for their own side.

"General Shangguan, you'd better retreat. If you don't retreat, it's too late!" Zhao Polu said anxiously.

Shangguan Qingcheng glanced at him coldly: "You have seen this situation too. If I retreat at this time, the troops behind me will not have time to change defenses, and Li Keyong will rush into the camp. Then the entire army will be defeated!"

Shangguan Qingcheng is not a pedantic person. If she could withdraw, she would withdraw. But if she had to replace her with tens of millions of lives, as a general in the army, there were not many people who could do such things except those who were afraid of life and death.

Zhao Polu said, "But the general will continue to hold on, and he will only die here in battle!"

Shangguan Qingcheng looked calm: "You go, I will cut off the rear. When the army is defeated, someone will always die for the army. I am at the gate now, and at this position, and there is no choice."

Zhao Polu was very anxious: "General Shangguan!"

"General Zhao!" Shangguan Qingcheng suddenly turned around, stared at him, and roared in a low voice: "When your highness leaves, we order us to surround Taiyuan City, guard the camp, and wait for him to return! Now that your highness has not returned, the army has been defeated, and the military order has not been reached. I am a military general, and I will be punished for thousands of deaths! General Zhao, you should protect General Liu and withdraw now. Pinglu army is the hard work of your highness and the basis for your highness to fight for power in troubled times! The army can be defeated, Shangguan Qingcheng can be killed in battle, and Pinglu army cannot be destroyed! Take the soldiers away and take the Pinglu army back!"

After saying that, Shangguan Qingcheng suddenly turned around, waved his hand, and ordered his personal soldiers: "Take General Zhao down!"

And she herself pulled out the horizontal knife from her waist and faced the Hedong Army soldiers who were approaching the female wall!

Zhao Polu was struck away from the wall of the camp. He struggled but failed. He was so anxious that he was at a loss. He shouted to Shangguan Qingcheng's fighting back: "General Shangguan! You insist on doing this. If Your Highness asks about today's affairs in the future, how do you ask me to answer?!"

He slashed the Hedong Army general in front of him with a horizontal sword and killed the armor-breaking general in front of him. Hearing Zhao Polu's words, Shangguan Qingcheng's back was slightly stunned.

At that moment, even Zhao Polu, who was twenty steps away, felt the stiffness of Shangguan Qingcheng's limbs.

However, the stiffness flashed in a flash. Shangguan Qingcheng waved his sword and killed the next enemy. Her voice came clearly: "Then please tell Your Highness that you can follow His Highness north and south in this life, and Shangguan Qingcheng will die without regrets. But Shangguan Qingcheng is incompetent and failed to complete His Highness's military order. If you have your Highness's entrusted, you will still hate him even if you die! If there is another eight hundred battles in the next life, Shangguan Qingcheng will also see Your Highness dominate the world!"
