Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Following Chu Xiang's order, the originally scattered and wandering army of the living dead was quickly assembled, and then began to slowly press towards Shaanxiguan City.

At the same time, Li Ji, who was commanding in Guoguan, Shaanxi, received the news of Qin Qiong's death in battle as soon as possible.

Li Ji immediately changed his expression when he heard the news that Qin Qiong died in battle.

He immediately ordered that the news be sent to Li Shimin, and immediately sent men to retrieve Qin Qiong's body.

He knew what the final result would be if Qin Qiong's body fell into the hands of the living dead opposite.

However, as soon as the order was issued, the soldiers came to report.

Qin Qiong's body has been returned to the city under the desperate escort of several personal guards.

When he heard that Qin Qiong's body had been snatched back, Li Ji was relieved at first, but soon, another piece of news made him suffocate on the spot.

Along with Qin Qiong's corpse, there was news that the army of the living dead had begun to gather and prepare for an all-out attack.

When he heard the news, Li Ji thought he was hallucinating.

The opponent had surrounded Shaanxi Guoguan for such a long time. Hadn't they already regarded it as a granary and a feeding place? How could they suddenly attack with all their strength?

His first reaction was that the soldier who reported the report must have misunderstood or lied about the military situation.

The entire army on the opposite side is gathering, probably to prepare for food, not for a full-scale attack.

Thinking of this, he immediately sent out several more waves of troops to confirm the news.

However, before the new scouts could leave the city, the thunderous sound of war drums could be heard in the distance.

Then, on the horizon, an army of the living dead appeared that was terrifying and disgusting, covering the sky and the sun.

Up and down the city wall, the soldiers of the Army of the Living Dead who were frantically attacking the city heard the war drums in the distance, and then looked at the Chinese army formation that was slowly moving forward. Their morale suddenly rose, and they began to bite the giants on the city wall crazily. Tang Shoujun.

Seeing this situation, Li Ji knew that the battle report sent from the front was accurate and that the opponent was indeed going to launch a full-scale attack.

Although it was not yet clear why the other party suddenly attacked in large numbers, it did not prevent Li Ji from quickly reporting the matter to Li Shimin.

When Li Shimin learned that Qin Qiong had died in battle and Zhou had launched an all-out attack, he spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot and then fainted.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was so angry that he fainted, the guards around him immediately hurriedly supported him and then reported the news to Li Ji.

Hearing that His Majesty was unconscious because of Qin Qiong's death in battle, Li Ji felt moved in his heart.

Immediately, he directly ordered someone to escort His Majesty out of Shaanxi Guoguan and retreat to Shangzhou City.

And he gathered all the new troops in the city to prepare to resist Zhou's attack.

Keep those veterans from Shaanxi and Guoguan as much as possible and escort His Majesty to retreat, while I stay on the city wall to buy them enough time.

As for resisting Chu Xiang's army of the living dead, Li Ji didn't even think about it.

Not to mention the gap in weapons and equipment between the two sides.

Let’s just say that the legion of the living dead on the opposite side brought a lot of spiritual tremors to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

When the veterans on their side faced the Army of the Living Dead, they had already lost their courage before the battle even started.

Coupled with the reinforcements brought by Qin Qiong and Changsun Wuji, both sides are 1+1, and their combat power is decreasing instead of increasing. If the battle does not collapse at this point, then he still issued a death order, and the swords of the supervising team have already been cut. The result of curling the blade.

Facing the opponent's all-out attack, trying to defend Shaanxi Guoguan is simply a dream.

What I have to do now is to try to delay the opponent's attack, so that Shaanxi Guoguan can hold on for a longer time, give His Majesty and the logistics teams time to retreat, and try to minimize some losses.

The Tang Dynasty will not lose all its vitality in this battle, leaving a trace of fire for future counterattacks, leaving a team for the Tang Dynasty that has faced the Legion of the Living Dead, so that subsequent armies will know how to deal with this group of demons.

Due to Li Ji's full mobilization, the reinforcements brought by Qin Qiong and Changsun Wuji were quickly arranged on the city wall, taking over the positions of the veterans.

The number of defenders increased instantly, and they immediately suppressed the army of living dead that was attacking the city.

And due to Chu Xiang's all-out attack, all the attacking soldiers below the city had been summoned back. The soldiers who stayed on top of the city had no backup, so they were naturally killed by Li Ji.

The defenders, who thought they had repelled the enemy's attack, immediately cheered loudly.

Only Li Ji knew that he was drinking poison to quench his thirst.

He slaughtered all the enemy's siege soldiers. Although his morale improved in a short time, he had to face Dazhou's endless and crazy revenge.

And now the opponent has made a full-scale attack. At this critical moment, if the opponent is stimulated like this, the only thing waiting for Shaanxi Guoguan is to massacre the city.

Thinking of this, Li Ji's eyes showed deep despair.

He looked at the new recruits who were cheering and then at the veterans who were quickly gathering, and he felt mixed emotions in his heart.

I don’t know if His Majesty will be so angry that he will vomit blood and fall into coma again after he wakes up and learns that he lost Shaanxi Guan.

However, there was not much time left for Li Ji to think. After a short rest and rearrangement of defenses, the army of the living dead on the opposite side had already arrived at the Shaanxi Guan City with neat steps.

For the first time, Li Ji's heart was trembling when he saw the army of the living dead in neat military appearance and neat formation.

You must know that every time the army of the living dead attacked before, they were not in a disorganized and disorganized formation. They were just attacking with scattered troops without any training.

But now, the opponent has put up a formation for the first time, which is enough to show that the opponent is serious about it.

It's not like before, it's just for hunting.

Thinking of this, he clenched the sword in his hand, then took a few steps forward, stepped out of the crowd, stood directly on the edge of the city wall, and shouted loudly to Chu Xiang below the city:

"General Chu, please come and be safe. Are you planning to capture my entire Shaanxi Guan when you come this time?"

Hearing Li Ji's shout, Chu Xiang shook his reins, stepped out from the crowd, faced Li Ji on the wall and said:

"General Li is not asking this question knowingly. Our army came here today to capture Shaanxi Guoguan. If the general can be so beautiful as a man and take the initiative to offer Shaanxi Guoguan, then I, Chu Xiang, will be extremely grateful and give the general two hours to retreat. Time, I don’t know what to do?”

When he heard that the other party was willing to give him two hours to retreat, Li Ji's eyes immediately lit up, and he immediately raised his hands and said:

"General Chu, you also know how many troops and people we have in Shaanxi Guan. Are there too few in these two hours?"

"Otherwise, how about you give me one day to retreat and wait until tomorrow to capture the city? I, Li Ji, am willing to send Shaanxi Guoguan unconditionally. I just ask the general to give me more time."
