Chapter 115 Military Expedition (10130 words) 7.20
More than a hundred dim stars were scattered in the sky holding a full moon, lazy and idle in the sky. A few translucent clouds like shells passed through the moon lightly in the breeze, covering the full moon with a hazy veil. On the wasteland beside the Yellow River in the northwest, a bunch of bonfires were burning outside the city of Lingzhou. A thousand black-armored warriors lined up in square formations held long spears and round shields. With the roar of dozens of cowhide drums around, they were dancing a majestic song "The King of Qin Breaking the Formation"
"My 》. Every time you rise, every change of formation, it brings a surging murderous aura to spread to the surrounding wilderness. The people who are enjoying this dance song by the bonfire clapping and cheering, stomping their feet and shouting, making a more fanatical roar than the soldiers who danced. Li Heng, holding a golden cup, stood by the army formation with a smile, and drank with a group of court officials who had just arrived from Jiannan - including the last time Fang Shu, which was already the second group of court officials sent from Li Longji to help Li Heng.
The noisy but the night became extremely quiet. On the broken city tower, Jiang Yu was hanging a wine pot in his hand, lying obliquely on the eaves of the highest city tower, looking up at the full moon in the sky. He easily poked his long legs out of the eaves, shaking his thighs, and drank a sip of fine wine from time to time, as if he had forgotten the wars outside and the bloody fighting of many monks. The strong wind swept over, and some clouds covered the moon. Jiang Yu, who had been silent for a long time, finally sighed leisurely: "Ziyi, Tianming, I finally understand why our master is called the Wangyue Sect. Well, um, Wangyue, what a sad name."
Seiwan? Is the name of Wangyue Sect related to Seiwan? The name of Wangyue Sect was shot out by arrows that tore the bodies of countless monks. Sitting on the eaves of the other corner of the city tower, Guo Ziyi looked at Jiang Yu in surprise, picked up the wine tank beside him and poured a sip of strong wine, and said in confusion: "Wangyue, how can the word Seiwan say?" Guo Ziyi was two-meter-old Vajra, unable to touch her head. Only Xing Tianyi thought hard for a while, finally smiled helplessly, sighed silently and shook her head.
Jiang Yu rolled up and sat down leaning against the eaves, smiling and said, "Looking at the moon and looking at the moon, you can imagine that our ancestor god was staring at the moon in a daze at such a night. Hehe, have you never heard of the romantic affairs of our ancestor? His wife stole the immortal medicine and ascended to the moon. At that time, all his divine power was cut off, so he could only stare at the moon on the ground every day. What is this not the moon? Hehe, Wangyue Sect, isn't this name sad?"
Guo Ziyi squirted out a sip of wine with a "puff" sound. The wine choked in his throat, almost making him vomit blood. He looked at Jiang Yu with anger and shook his head repeatedly. Guo Ziyi had no words to say about Jiang Yu, the senior brother and nominal boss. He could use such a strange explanation to evaluate the name of his master. Jiang Yu was also the first in the Central Plains cultivation world. He hurriedly sipped a few sips of wine to calm the qi and blood in his chest. Guo Ziyi smiled bitterly: "This is probably enough? Well, I just received the military newspaper from the army ahead. Do you want to hear it? Humph, that room is about to cause trouble!"
Seeing Jiang Yu's indifferent look, Guo Ziyi smiled bitterly: "When Fang Xiang led the army to fight, there were only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, but after the past few days, the royal army from all over the country rushed to join him to join him. Because he divided the troops into the left, center and right three armies. Now, except for knowing exactly that his central army had about 50,000 soldiers, the details of the left and right two armies were not clear. The rebels were powerful, and he actually dared to divide the troops. Wouldn't he take the lives of the soldiers as a matter?"
"It's okay!" Jiang Yu waved his hand and said relaxedly: "The rebels didn't expect that we could mobilize more than 100,000 troops to counterattack. In addition, when Fang Xiang fought with the rebels, I was in the back to help. It would be difficult for him to lose. Well, as long as those demon cultivators don't interfere, there will be no big problem in counterattacking Chang'an this time."
Xing Tianzi lowered his head and thought for a while, suddenly shook his head, and he sighed in a low voice: "But what I'm afraid of is that there will be a big problem in this counterattack. Let Senior Brother Guo be in Lingzhou and not lead the army, but ask Senior Brother Guo to continue to recruit troops in Lingzhou. This matter is a bit strange. To be honest..."
Before Xing Tianzi finished the analysis here, Li Heng, who was flushed with his face, had no idea when he was carrying a wine jar and hugged a beautiful woman and jumped onto the city tower. The drunk Li Heng staggered a few steps on the tiles and raised the wine jar to Jiang Yu with a smile: "Senior brother... Well, it should be Weiwu Gong, haha, come, I'll give you a glass. If you can successfully recover the two capitals this time, you have to rely on the commander Weiwu Gong Feng Catching Camp to help you. Queen, come, toast to my senior brother!" With a 'gudong', Li Heng, who was drunk a little upside down, slipped under his feet and almost fell on the tiles. He was so scared that Guo Ziyi and Xing Tianzi hurriedly rushed over to support him, and slowly placed him on the ridge and sat down.
Li Heng's queen, Queen Zhang, walked a few steps on the tiles, walked to Jiang Yu, and showed a small and exquisite silver wine pot in her hand, and toasted Jiang Yu, "General Jiang, when the Ai family was in the Eastern Palace, they often heard the reputation of the general, but they were unable to be together. Today, the Ai family finally got their lives among the chaotic soldiers. Fortunately, they saw the general. In the future, the great cause of our revival of the Tang Dynasty will rely on the General, General Guo, and Chief of the Zhengshi." After that, Empress Zhang raised the wine pot and drank half a pound of strong wine with great enthusiasm.
Jiang Yu looked at Queen Zhang in surprise. The wine supplied in Lingzhou City is not the light wines such as pear blossom white and grape-making in the imperial palace of Chang'an City, but the strongest and worst-quality spirits that the Northwest man likes. Ordinary men can not drink two taels of this wine. This queen, a delicate woman, can actually drink half a pound of pounds in one sip. It is really heroic. However, the slightly long cheeks, slender eyes like eagles, and a long chin made Jiang Yu feel that this woman is a woman with great ambition and gloomy, and she doesn't seem to be able to treat people casually.
A person who showed kindness and enthusiasm. However, after all, he is the legitimate empress nowadays. Although Jiang Yu would never kneel down to her, he still stood up, bowed to her and laughed loudly: "What the Empress said is too good. I am an ordinary man and I have obtained some magical changes by chance, but I have no major ability. It is my duty to assist the emperor in reviving the Tang Dynasty. There is no need for the Empress to give too much advice." He also drank the strong wine in the wine pot, and then saluted Li Heng and said: "Your Majesty, the three armies commanded by Fang Xiang are probably going to fight with the rebels. I will lead the Wind Camp to respond in order to make a lot of money."
"Well, this... this is a serious matter... Once Chang'an is recovered, the people in the world will be shocked, and the soldiers and horses of the military towns in various places will definitely come in a steady stream." Li Heng burped and smiled, "So, this time, Chang'an is regained, you can only win, not lose. The mighty Duke... everything is all, please give it to you." He looked at Jiang Yu with earnest eyes, hoping that Jiang Yu could pat his chest to ensure success.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yu shook his head gently. He was about to speak when several golden lights as thin as a gossip in the sky southeast, and dozens of Taoists with strange-shaped ancient swords on their backs suddenly appeared in front of everyone with the golden light. The middle-aged Taoist who led the team flew over his clothes, starry eyes flashed with spirit, and Bai Ruguanyu's face was full of smiles. He bowed to everyone present and said, "Long live the sword sect disciple Wanli Jinhong Luoqing, a disciple of the Tang Dynasty, had seen the Emperor of Tang."
Li Heng, who was just drunk, suddenly woke up. A strong smell of alcohol appeared on his body. His hazy eyes instantly returned to clear light. He looked at Luo Qing and said enthusiastically: "It turned out to be Luo Zhenren. I wonder if the real person and the immortals came here with cranes. What's the point?" Li Heng quickly glanced at the old Taoist's face. He suddenly jumped up and pointed at the two people escorted by the old Taoist and shouted angrily: "Yang Guozhong! Yang Yuhuan! You, you...didn't you die long ago?" Li Heng remembered clearly that in the Mawei Post Mutiny, he was almost killed by the rebels, but Yang Guozhong was cut into meat mud, but Yang Yuhuan hanged himself, which made his father, the current Supreme Emperor Li Longji cry until now?
Jiang Yu, who was standing next to him, sneered: "Emperor, Yang Guozhong has a good relationship with the traitor of the Yiqi Immortal Sect, how could he be easily killed by the rioters? What the emperor saw on that day was probably just an illusion. As for Yang Yuhuan, hehe..." Jiang Yu sneered a few times, and in front of Li Heng, Jiang Yu said extremely viciously: "Imperial Concubine, I met An Lushan a few days ago in Chang'an City. He said that he had a night of fun with the Empress. I wonder if it was true or false?"
Yang Yuhuan, who was held in the hands of two female Taoists, raised her head disdainfully. She sneered and glanced at Jiang Yu disdainfully, and was too lazy to answer his words. When the godless eyes swept over Li Heng, a few traces of spirit suddenly burst out. She smiled with a 'hee' and said, "Son of the Emperor, are you going to kill me today?"
It was so fast that Luo Qing and other disciples of the Sword Sect did not react. Li Heng, who was so angry that his face was bluish-colored by Yang Yuhuan's words, raised his hand and slashed at Yang Yuhuan's heart. The palm that was as powerful as a mountain collapse contained infinite power knocked Yang Yuhuan's chest to pieces. A ball of blood mist passed through the two Taoist nuns who quickly dodged and spurted out more than ten feet away. Yang Yuhuan, who still maintained his peerless elegance, showed an expression of disbelief on his beautiful head. A pair of eyes that had once had infinite autumn gradually turned into dead white. Half of his beautiful body fell to the ground with a "gudong" sound, and the beautiful head, which only half of his neck, also fell from the air, fell into the pile of weeds under the city tower and the ruins of the fire.
Yang Yuhuan was slapped to death by Li Heng. Not only Yang Guozhong's expression changed drastically, but also Luo Qing and Empress Zhang, especially Li Fuguo and Eunuch Li under the city tower, were even more scared and looked no more. Li Heng's thunderous palm seemed to be replaying in front of him. Yang Guozhong suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks, I, Yang Zhao, have been glorious for decades, and I will not lose money today, but I will not lose money! Li Heng's little boy,
You dare to kill me?" He glared at Li Heng, and Yang Guozhong suddenly pointed at Jiang Yu and laughed loudly: "Jiang Yu, are you still alive? Hehe, the waste of Master Qingyang, brag about what you have been sealed at the foot of Kunlun Mountain and will never be born again! Fortunately, I believed him and bribed your elder brother Li Linfu's family. A bottle of elixir was integrated into his soup hundreds of times. Hehe, the dignified Prime Minister Li, he was actually..."
With a 'puff', Yang Guozhong's head suddenly exploded, a ball of blood scattered, and his soul was smashed into pieces by the arrow, and his soul was completely scattered. Jiang Yu looked coldly at Luo Qing and other disciples of the Sword Sect with a little ugly expression, and said calmly: "Forget it, you have to be 'grateful' for you to rescue him from the chaos at Mawei Post, otherwise I will not be able to kill the enemy today. Go back and tell Yiqing Immortal, Qingfeng Immortal, Bai Yuan Immortal, that they promised that most of my business will be done. Now as long as your Taoist sect is dedicated to assisting the emperor in restoring the Tang Dynasty, I will become an alliance with your Taoist sect in the future. The previous hatred will be stopped."
Luo Qing bowed deeply and smiled at Jiang Yu, "That's best, the best. Today, my brothers and brothers came here for this. Our Dao Alliance is willing to help the emperor restore the Tang Dynasty. As long as the emperor promises, the territory of the Tang Dynasty will be the only one in the future. Our Dao Sect will do our best to serve the emperor."
Li Heng's joy could not be covered by any means. He said happily: "This matter is great, this matter is great. I think so too. My family of Li Tang is the descendant of the Taoist ancestor Laozi. This word cannot write two Taos. If Li Heng can quell the rebellion, destroy the thief party of the traitor of the Dayan Kingdom, and restore my Tang Dynasty, it will definitely respect Taoism in the future. This is a matter of course." Speaking of 'Daoism', Li Heng suddenly looked a little ugly. He looked back at Jiang Yu and felt that this matter was difficult to explain to Jiang Yu. What should he do if he respects Taoism? No matter what, the largest capital in Li Heng's hand is now the group of people from Wang Yue Sect.
Jiang Yu smiled slightly and shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I, Wangyue Sect, do not ask for secular believers. As long as I leave a mountain gate for my Wangyue Sect in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it is enough." He smiled easily at Taoists such as Luo Qing and said, "Now the emperor is sending the current prime minister Fang Wei to lead a 100,000 army to recover Chang'an. There are demon cultivators in the rebels. Fang Wei may be able to deal with the rebels, but there is no way to deal with the devil. My Wangyue Sect is now limited in strength, so I have to ask all the fellow Taoists to help you."
Luo Qing smiled reservedly and nodded and said, "In this way, why not find a place to discuss in detail? This time, in addition to fulfilling his promise to Sect Master Jiang, he also came for this matter. Our sect is preparing to eradicate the demon demons lurking in Chang'an City in one fell swoop. The emperor happened to be releasing the troops at this time and was hitting the same with our plan." Hearing Luo Qing's words, Li Heng couldn't help but bring everyone back to his current palace secret business with joy.
Two hours later, it was when Ye Hanlu was deep, Jiang Yu led more than 3,000 subordinates of the Fenghuo Camp out of Lingzhou City and used his body skills to rush towards the direction of Fang Wei's army. Guo Ziyi, Xing Tianye, Long Chihuo, Bai Meng, and Long Yi led more than a hundred Fenghuo Camp to guard Li Heng in Lingzhou City, and at the same time monitored dozens of Yiqi Immortal Sect Sect members who left to guard Li Heng to protect Li Heng. Xing Tianye's analysis was very incisive. From that Luo Qing said that once the Taoist sect helps Li Heng pacify the world, the Tang Dynasty would be the only Taoist sect. It is obvious that in this rebellion, the Taoist sect did a lot of tricks. Thinking of An Lushan howled at Jiang Yu, "I was forced" and Yang Guozhong, who should have died in Mawei Post, was rescued by the Taoist sect, Jiang Yu was also very wary of these Taoist sects.
The next day, at noon, Jiang Yu, who had already led his troops to the Fangyu army, did not meet Fangyu. He led more than 3,000 people to hide on a mountain about ten miles on the right wing of the Tang army. All the wind-catching camps used the secret technique of the Wuwei to restrain their breath. Although they practiced the "Zangjian" method, which had no future, they inherited the secret of the mind method of the Wangyue Sect. Once these more than 3,000 people used their skills, they would hide in the woods like big pieces.
Shi was not afraid of being discovered by the magic cultivator's spiritual consciousness. For this combat plan, Xing Tianzhen's plan proposed was very consistent with Jiang Yu's wishes: instead of letting the few troops in the Fenghun camp be divided into three groups to rescue, it is better to focus on guarding Fang Wei's central army. I think Fang Wei is the nominal commander and the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. If the rebels want to attack, they will definitely start from Fang Wei's central army. Therefore, before Fang Wei's central army was defeated, the probability of the other two armies encountering the rebels was extremely small.
The representative of Taoist Sect, Luo Qing, guaranteed that no matter how the combat plan is formulated, in short, they will send sword cultivators to the sword sect of Yiqi Immortal Sect and physical cultivators who practice ** mystical skills in Penglai, the two sects of Taoist Sect, the strongest attack power of Taoist Sect to assist Jiang Yu in fighting. They must eradicate all the demon cultivators in the rebel army and reduce some of the pressure for the Dao Sect to encircle and annihilate the demon head in Chang'an City. When discussing the combat plan, Luo Qing's performance was very optimistic. He easily calculated that if Jiang Yu's battle was smooth, he might also draw a group of demon cultivators from Chang'an to support. At that time, the Dao Sect's surprise attack on Chang'an would be even smoother. After annihilation of the demon cultivators in Chang'an, the two sides attacked each other, and the demon cultivators in the rebel brigade would definitely not escape the disaster.
Lying on a big branch with his legs crossed, his spiritual sense kept scanning Fang Wei's army. Jiang Yu couldn't help but wonder. His plan was very good, but would the rebels and demon cultivators be defeated so easily? Somehow, Jiang Yu always felt a deep uneasy in his heart, a kind of uneasiness that made him feel ridiculous.
On this day, it was the sun shining brightly. The red land was covered with hazy water vapor. Walking on this anxious land, the weak people couldn't even breathe. The rain was not normal this year, and there were no traces of water everywhere in this place called Chen Tao outside Xianyang City. It was just a piece of gray stones and red soil. The few trees were thin and weak, withered yellow leaves hanging on the branches, as if they were ready to fall into the earth at any time to complete this short cycle. Just at noon, the birds and beasts did not sing and the beasts were gasping and playing in the shade. The sound of footsteps that made the earth shudder slightly came from afar, and the army of Fangqing arrived.
More than 40,000 troops were marching on the ground, and the scene was extremely majestic. The area that was about three miles wide and more than one mile was filled with the Tang army lined up in dense square formations. When Jiang Yu Lingshi swept the army to this army, the first feeling was that he saw dense ants. The Tang army's flag was lifted high by the flag bearer on the bamboo pole, but there was no wind, and the flag was not moving at all, and he was so lifeless that he was not angry at all. Several drummers walking at the front of the team were also lazy and invisible. The drum sound was fragmented and seemed to be a funeral for people. Even the square formation was crooked and slanted. The soldiers in the team looked numb, and some soldiers even did not even have armor and bows.
Jiang Yu, who saw all this from afar, couldn't help but sigh. In the past few days, he also understood the changes in the Tang Dynasty over the past 20 years. The Tang Dynasty, which had been passed down for a long time, had long since the powerful army that had fought the souls of foreign countries. It was almost the twenty years of An Yangtian, which made the Tang Dynasty's government soldiers and even other armies of various establishments completely lose their combat effectiveness. Many soldiers were purely ordinary farmers, and they were not as good as the fierce men under An Lushan who had provoked and fought against Turkic and Goguryeo for many years. According to Jiang Yu's idea, if it were the soldiers who had led him to the northern border to dig the land of the innate Kui Water, they would probably have defeated the more than 40,000 soldiers.
Shaking his head, Jiang Yu's spiritual consciousness swept over, and the monk who had come to contact him to coordinate the battlefield command was floating in a white cloud in the sky three or five miles away, and he felt at a loss.
The robe, who was riding on a white horse wearing a very thin silver erect, took a breath immediately, raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his face, and asked loudly, "General Yang, where is this place?"
Yang Xiwen, the deputy general beside Fang Xu, hummed weakly, shook his head and woke up for a moment, and then replied: "Fang Xiang, this is... Chen Tao, hey, yesterday I heard a spy say that there were rebel soldiers nearby, and there were a lot of them. If you encounter them, you will just defeat them in one fell swoop and give them a lot of morale before attacking Chang'an."
Fang Wei smiled and nodded, "That's the truth. My king's army was ordered by the King of the Tang Dynasty to fight against rebels, and used a benevolent, righteous and moral teacher to fight against treason who are unfaithful and unfilial. If there is a traitor who surrenders when he hears the news, remember not to kill too much, which is contrary to the virtue of God's favor." After a lesson, several deputy generals around him nodded repeatedly, but almost pissed off Jiang Yu, who was watching ten miles away. Then he took An Lushan's command.
With the virtues of those arrogant soldiers and generals, will they surrender to you, a bad old man? Fang Wei raised his hand and set up a sunshade in front of his forehead. He looked up at the sky with blue and red sun hanging high, swallowed his dry throat, hesitated for a moment, and ordered: "Let's ask the men to stop and rest. There are a few forests nearby. After waiting for the men to raise their energy, they will move forward and break the bandits in one go."
Yang Xiwen, who was also too hot, nodded repeatedly and agreed, and he smiled and said, "Fang Xiang is compassionate with the soldiers. Fang Xiang is also the way of military tactics. We come from afar and are tired soldiers. If we rashly fight with the enemy in front of us, we will use our qi to attack people's vitality. Although we have the upper hand of the King of Renyi, we will inevitably suffer losses. When the soldiers will be well equipped, they will wipe out the thief in one fell swoop. The first contribution to regaining Chang'an City is Fang Xiang."
Yang Xiwen flattered her here and made Fang Wei very comfortable. Tens of thousands of troops were about to squeeze into the woods. When the formation was in chaos for a while, the rebels of the Dayan Kingdom were willing to give them the opportunity to cultivate their strength? More than 10,000 cavalrymen turned out from behind a hill in front, and formed cavalry on the middle wings of infantry. Archers were even more assault formations in front of the infantry, slowly pressing towards the Tang army several miles away.
The morale of the rebels was different from that of the Tang army. The Tang army had been driving for a morning and was exposed to the sun for so long. They had already been tired and listless. However, the rebels were energetic in the camp and the plundered people looked at the money and rewarded them. It was the time when their morale was at its highest. The rebels opened their mouths and showed their white teeth, made their most fierce strange faces, and slowly approached with screams.
Fang Wei, who had just dismounted his horse and untied his armor in the forest, was shocked at the same time. He did not bother to put on the armor. They jumped on the war horse and urged their subordinates to issue orders in a series of orders, driving more than 40,000 troops out of the woods like ducks. According to the extremely ancient military formation that Fang Wei learned from some unknown place, more than 2,000 ox carts were arranged in front of them to block the enemy's cavalry.
He got on the thick infantry and shouted at the same time to greet the rebels. Poor to these Tang soldiers, when they were just walking so hard that they were boiling, Fang Wei ordered them to rest in the forest. As soon as they sat down, the blood energy suddenly dissipated. When the strength in their bodies was weakened by 70% or 80% of the enemy attacked, Fang Wei urged them to set up a formation and face it forward, and ran forward to fight the enemy with great strides. Half of the remaining two or three percent of the strength was unconsciously lost.
The cavalry that used a ox cart to fight the enemy was originally a good tactic. If the soldiers on both sides were equal in morale, physical strength and quality, Fang Wei would have been able to compete in this battle. However, Fang Wei had commanded the troops, and the morale of this army would have been long since been discharged, and his physical strength was 100% or 20%. In terms of quality, how could these soldiers who were still farmers a few months ago be comparable to those of An Lushan and Shi Siming's elites? In addition, Fang Wei was at a loss in command and the army rushed forward, and he actually lost control of the army. All the command powers of the front-end fell into the hands of those deputy generals, lieutenants, and others who were also ignorant of military affairs. What's even more terrible is that there were terrible demon cultivators in the rebel army.
Jiang Yu's spiritual consciousness swept over. Among the rebels of more than 30,000 people, there were only a few more than 300 demon cultivators, and the most powerful ones were just figures who had just formed demon babies. According to the Demon Sect's plundered so many treasures in Kunlun Mountain, the Demon Sect who had just formed demon babies was just a minion that was almost cannon fodder in the Demon Sect. However, such minions were also fatal to Fang Wei's army. Jiang Yu had not decided whether to annihilate the more than 300 people first. A middle-aged man in a white robe with a bit of powdery face had already twisted his waist and moved his "lotus step" to the front of the army. A clear but soft and lingering voice resounded throughout the battlefield: "Beat the drum~~~~~~~~~~~~ The wind blew!"
‘Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, hundreds of big cowhide drums were pushed out from behind the rebel formation. Hundreds of Turkic men with bodies and hair combed into small braids holding bone hammers made of bison leg bones, and crazily beating the cowhide drum in front of them. The war drums were painted with blood, and countless strange and ferocious words were depicted. The sound of drums that made people's souls fluttered and infinite fear came out from the hundreds of war drums, and at the same time, a hazy blood light flashed out. And as the man who was obviously the Goddao Dao Demon Cultivator swung lightly with his hands, the wind suddenly rose between heaven and earth, and strong winds like dragon tails blew from behind the rebels to the Tang army's camp. First of all, the rebels gained the upper hand.
Then, the blood-lit drum sound made the ox and horses that were towed by more than 2,000 ox carts crazy at the same time. The ox and horses made extremely miserable neighing, dragging the ox and carts filled with supplies and rushed into the Tang army array. For a moment, the Tang army's queue was in chaos. Hundreds of soldiers were extremely unlucky to be trampled by the ox and horse's hooves, and were crushed by the heavy ox and large carts, turning into fuzzy pieces of meat and sank on the ground. The ox cart moved, and it had already been
In the camps of the two armies that were less than a mile away, the rebel cavalry shouted, and more than ten thousand cavalry rebels rushed at the same time. At the beginning, countless arrows shot towards the Tang army in the direction of the strong wind. Under the storm that could not open their eyes, the arrow could shoot at some distance and far along the wind, and its strength was several times stronger than the strong bow. More than ten thousand arrows immediately caused the Tang army to fall down.
The rebel soldiers saw that the Tang army was first frustrated, and immediately cheered and followed the cavalry brigade and rushed towards the Tang army's main formation. This time, the difference in physical strength and combat skills between the rebels and the Tang army could be seen. Only when the rebels cut two swords could the Tang army use a knife to say a fatal fear of death. Many soldiers of the Tang army only instinctively used swords to chop the enemy's heads that were closely protected by helmets. What was even more helpless was that the horizontal swords of the rebels weighed seventeen or eighteen pounds, and one sword could be enough to split a burly man into two sections. The wooden-handled swords used by many Tang army were only three or five pounds, and even the shields and armor of the rebels could not be split.
Jiang Yu, who was hesitating whether to attack, had just hesitated for a meal, and the Tang army fell down more than 5,000 people. The Tang army, whose positions were in chaos, shouted loudly, threw down their weapons, abandoned their armor and turned around and ran away. As more than 10,000 Tang soldiers in the front army were in chaos, the defeated more than 5,000 defeated soldiers immediately rushed the rear army's team, and Fang Wei and others were also loosened. They only lasted for a quarter of an hour. After the Tang army's supervisor finally gathered the defeated soldiers, there were only more than 2,000 defeated soldiers left. Within this quarter of an hour, more than 3,000 people were chopped and killed by the rebels. The originally red mud land has now turned into a crimson red, showing under the strong light of the red sun.
It was so dazzling. The hundreds of demon cultivators who stood behind did not move and laughed proudly at the same time. In their opinion, it was really easy to dominate a decisive battle with tens of thousands of people. The demon cultivators who practiced the demon war skills of Asura Sect even opened their mouths and greedily absorbed the remaining battle souls and blood breaths of the killed warriors on the battlefield. Circles of blood gushed out from them, and their cultivation was growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The demons belonging to the Goddao stood far away, looking at these "bloody, rude" fellow demon cultivators with disdain, occasionally using a few small spells to make the strong wind even more powerful.
The army was about to be defeated, especially the more than 10,000 rebel cavalry caused heavy casualties in the Tang army. Fang Wei finally summoned several deputy generals and issued military orders loudly. The ox carts that had not escaped far away were removed were removed, and the ox carts that were killed were used to use the trunks in the woods several miles away from the Tang army formation to form a cylindrical formation. Nearly 40,000 remaining soldiers and horses of the Tang army were curled up in the cylindrical formation, and countless spears were from the ox carts and the trunks.
During the sprint, the terrifying Tang army archers also pulled out their strong bows and threw sharp arrows at the enemy. Although the small trees in the woods were sparse, they also limited the movement of the cavalry to the lowest level. The Tang army's counterattack immediately caused more than a thousand rebel cavalry to be dismissed. This battle immediately made the Tang army's morale very strong. The brave Tang army officers and soldiers even stood on the ox cart, holding a sword and a long spear to fight against the rebels, and the killing in the woods was immediately scattered.
Just as the Tang army was about to stand firm and wait for an opportunity to counterattack, the morale of the rebels was frustrated for a moment, and the hundreds of demon cultivators watching the battle finally took action. A female cultivator from the Godda Potato smiled coldly. A strange light shot out from the unique protective bracelet of the Godda Potato, and two foxes, all over the body, jumped out of the strange light and rushed towards the female cultivator. The female cultivator screamed in extreme pain, and her figure actually merged with the fiery red fox. The woman became a strange shape that was standing up, but it became similar to the combination of humans and foxes. The female cultivator had a gloomy smile on her cheeks, and suddenly opened her mouth and spurted a bunch of fire at the woods several miles away.
The fallen leaves, trunks, branches and other things in the woods had long been roasted by the scorching sun for days. Now thousands of green fire balls of bowl size fell from the sky, and countless fires were immediately lit up in the woods. What's even more terrifying is that the strong wind blowing from behind the rebels became stronger and stronger, causing long fire dragons to blow everywhere, turning the forest into a sea of fire. Only hundreds of rebel soldiers were injured by the fire, but the Tang army's array was completely trapped in the sea of fire. In an instant, the Tang army's formation completely collapsed, and almost all the soldiers dropped their weapons, took off their armor that had become burdens, and fled to the forest naked.
Linwai was the swords and guns of rebels. This was not even a massacre. At least it took effort to massacre. The Tang soldiers who escaped from the sea of fire all fell on the ground weakly, but were stabbed to death by the rebels who were grinning like chickens. More soldiers had no chance to escape from the sea of fire. The green flame was so hot that the temperature was scary. Many soldiers melted the armor and weapons, and their bodies were transformed into vanishing together with the burning iron. Fang Wei was lucky. Under the escort of a group of loyal soldiers, he rushed out of the sea of fire from another direction, fleeing in a hurry with fear of death.
Chen Tao fought in a slanted battle, more than 40,000 people died in the Tang army, and less than 2,000 people fled with Fang Wei. Yang Xiwen and other generals surrendered to the rebels, and were very obedient and tied up by the rebels with ropes like a pig in a pigpen, thrown onto the saddle. More than 30,000 rebels were killed or injured, and this battle could be considered a complete victory. The rebel general pulled out his weapons and cheered to the sky, while the hundreds of demon cultivators yawned lazily, showing a sarcastic smile. The female cultivator, who was strangely integrated with the fox, flashed with fire. The fox fell off the female cultivator with a tired look, and turned into a strange light and merged into a bracelet. The female cultivator also suddenly softened to the ground, gasping and coughing rapidly, and sweating profusely.
Jiang Yu sighed, but unexpectedly, his hesitation caused Fang Wei's defeat. Looking at the hundreds of demon cultivators who failed to win, Jiang Yu couldn't help but laugh bitterly. It was these dozens of demonic infant stages and hundreds of demon cultivators equivalent to the Golden Pill stage that defeated the Tang army with just two attacks. Can this blame Jiang Yu? Fang Wei's army is too weak? However, after all, these tens of thousands of troops were wiped out because of Jiang Yu's relationship. Jiang Yu always felt that he needed to do it.
Something. Perhaps, the complete annihilation of this rebel army and these hundreds of demon cultivators would make him look more handsome in front of Li Heng? Shaking his head and looking around, except for a few more people in the white cloud, he did not find out where the Taoist people were hiding. Jiang Yu was too lazy to wait. With his order, more than 3,000 soldiers from the Wind Catching Camp rushed out of the woods at the same time. He didn't believe it anymore. When he started a full war with the Demon Sect, would those Taoist people have the nerve to continue hiding?
