Of course Li Ye could recognize that it was Wu Yazi who had his arm chopped off in Xuzhou two days ago.
Seeing that Wu Yazi rushed forward, intending to stop everyone, Li Ye felt it was ridiculous at first. After all, in the heyday of the other party, he couldn't even take a single move from him. It was even more unbearable at this time. he.
But soon, Li Ye realized something was wrong, and quickly warned Song Jiao and Eldest Young Master, "Back!"
Wu Yazi charged towards him with a crazy look and eyes like knives. He opened his arms after lifting into the air. Regardless of the defense, he just increased his speed to the extreme and shot at Li Ye and the others. When he arrived in front of Li Ye and the others, he He yelled ferociously: "The Taoist sect will surely prosper!"
After finishing speaking, Wu Yazi blew himself up in mid-air!
With a bang, Wu Yazi's body turned into flying ash, and the air wave suddenly spread from the original place, covering an area of more than a hundred feet in an instant. The strong wind swept towards Li Ye and others like a sharp blade. There was no sound, but whether it was the impact of air waves or the sound of explosions, everyone's ears were ringing.
Li Ye and others were forced to retreat and launched defensive measures one after another, but they were still affected by the air wave. Li Ye was fine, with Qinglian and Long Qi around, and his spiritual energy was as strong as that of a real person. Quite embarrassed, one by one was repelled a hundred steps under the impact of the air wave, and their clothes and hair were disheveled.
When one's cultivation level reaches the realm of a real person, one can launch the method of self-destruction. Wu Yazi only built a foundation in half a step. Although the method of self-destruction can be used, the power is undoubtedly much smaller. If it is really a real person who blew himself up in front of him, Li Ye would Seriously injured, Young Master Si Ming and Song Jiao had no chance of surviving.
"This Taoist is really crazy!" Song Jiao gritted her teeth, full of resentment.
Li Ye shook his head, "Although each is the master and belongs to the enemy, this kind of integrity is still admirable."
After being so delayed by Wu Yazi, Li Ye and others were unable to catch up with Zhu Wen who was running at full speed. After all, this place is not far from Dengzhou. Once the opponent arrived at the military camp and was among thousands of troops, they would have nothing to do with him.
It's just that everyone has already arrived here, so it's impossible to go back to Xuzhou like this. The young master Si Ming and Song Jiao didn't suffer too many injuries, so Li Ye and others continued to go to Dengzhou to observe the defense situation of the other party.
Along the way, Li Ye lost the relaxed look on his face, and Wu Yazi wanted to keep Zhu Wen even if he blew himself up. This kind of integrity showed the will of Zhongnan Mountain Daomen. It seems that the next battle will not be easy.
When he arrived in Dengzhou, Li Ye carefully observed Zhu Wen's trilogy and Dengzhou's city defense situation, his brows slightly frowned.
In Zhu Wen's army, the proportion of monks is very high, more than double that of ordinary vassals. It seems that with the help of Zhongnan Mountain Daomen, many people in Huang Chao and Zhu Wen's army have indeed become monks. The so-called Taoist and vassals Colluding with each other, recruiting disciples to teach Taoism, and expanding the team of monks, now is the time to show their power.
When it comes to fighting on the battlefield, monks are the backbone of the formation, and their number and strength directly affect the outcome of the battle.
In this world, there will be a variety of military contests in a war, and all kinds of methods will be used to the extreme. They have a vital impact on the outcome of the war, but in the final analysis, what really determines the victory of a battle Negative, there is only one factor, and that is the monk, or the strong.
Fortunately, Dengzhou's city defenses have not been fully repaired. Although there are many things such as rocks, arrowheads, and spears, it is not so easy to replenish the curtains, maces, and bed crossbows after they are damaged.
It is not easy to restore the original strength of the collapsed city walls, especially the large and small defensive circles, which require various materials to be arranged, and it is even more difficult to do overnight.
Li Ye and the others didn't stay in Dengzhou for too long, because Zhongnan Mountain quickly sent experts from the Realm Realm over, and there were tens of thousands of troops on the enemy's territory. Li Ye didn't intend to challenge the Realm Realm Then he returned with Song Jiao and the others.
Back in Xuzhou, Li Ye met Zhou Ji, and communicated with Zhou Ji about Dengzhou's city defense and the combat power of Zhu Wen's trilogy.
It can be seen that Zhou Ji's heart is not relaxed, but his will to fight has not been affected.
Yang Fuguang has already gone to Caizhou, but he doesn't know what the outcome of the negotiation with Qin Zongquan will be. Li Ye is not in a hurry, the Pinglu army has already marched here and will arrive in a few days. At that time, with or without Qin Zongquan's support, the army will march west to Dengzhou.
Two days later, Yang Fuguang sent back news that Qin Zongquan had agreed to march west to Dengzhou, and sent general Wang Shu to lead 15,000 troops to help in the battle. Yang Fuguang's messenger said that he would return to Xuzhou with Wang Shu's troops.
I have to say that Yang Fuguang is indeed a character.
When Liu Dazheng led the Pinglu Army to Xuzhou, the Caizhou soldiers led by Yang Fuguang and Wang Shu also arrived at about the same time. The army camped at the branch outside Xuzhou City, took a short rest, and was ready to go at any time.
On that day, Li Ye, Zhou Ji, Yang Fuguang, Wang Shu and others, as well as the generals of Pinglu and Zhongwu, as well as the staff of Li Ye and Zhou Ji, gathered together to discuss the details of the expedition.
"The Zhongwu Army can dispatch 50,000 troops to march westward. Adding the troops from Pinglu and Caizhou, the total number of soldiers is 165,000. I heard that the bandit army in Dengzhou is only about 50,000. We have a good chance of winning this battle!" Yang Fuguang is still very confident, he has always been like this.
General Wang Shu of Caizhou said with a smile: "The law of war says that if ten times, we will encircle them, if five times we will attack them, and if we double them, we will divide them up. Our soldiers and horses together are only three times the size of the bandit army, and the distance between ten times the strength of the bandits is enough." The standard for siege is too far away, and we don’t even have the troops to attack from the front, so how dare we say we will win this battle?”
Yang Fuguang immediately said: "Zhu Wen's troops have just experienced a big battle. Although Dengzhou was broken, it was a miserable victory. Now is the time to be exhausted, and King An also went to see it. Dengzhou's city defense is not perfect. We How can it be invincible to use a new and sharp division to attack his exhausted soldiers? Besides, we are the king's division, and it is righteousness to go out to fight against the bandits, and the bandits must be afraid of them!"
Wang Shu folded her arms, raised her chin, rebellious, and sneered: "The law of war says that those who seek profit within a hundred miles will go up to the general, and those who seek profit within fifty miles will reach halfway. From Xuzhou to Dengzhou, there are more than a hundred miles. We are here, we are rushing to attack from a long distance, and the bandit army is waiting for work, how can we dare to say victory?"
Although Wang Shu came with Caizhou soldiers and horses, and Qin Zongquan also agreed to cooperate with the army to attack Dengzhou, but from Wang Shu's behavior, it can be clearly seen that he has a negative attitude towards the war.
It is estimated that before leaving, Qin Zongquan often explained to Wang Shu that this battle should be avoided if it can be avoided, and if it cannot be avoided, it must be done without effort, so as not to be used as a knife and damage the soldiers on the battlefield for nothing.
Yang Fuguang was very resentful when he saw Wang Shu's behavior. The other party's words about the art of war seemed reasonable and well-founded. However, fighting on the battlefield is not about writing articles.
Yang Fuguang was repeatedly provoked by Wang Shu, and he said angrily: "General Wang is cowardly before fighting, can't he lead his troops back?!"
Wang Shu snorted coldly, but seeing that everyone was glaring at him, it was better not to be too pretentious, she cupped her fists slightly and said: "The last general dare not."
Li Ye glanced at Wang Shu, but didn't say much. Both Wang Shu and Qin Zongquan were the internal affairs of the Zhongwu Army, and he couldn't interfere casually.
"You don't dare!" Yang Fuguang glared at Wang Shu a few times, and then said to the generals in the army: "Now we and the Pinglu Army will join forces to conquer the bandits in the west. There is no commander in chief."
Speaking of this, Yang Fuguang clasped his fists at Li Ye: "King An is the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, and also the envoy appointed by His Majesty to recruit the east camp. The position of commander of the three armies must belong to His Highness. Please don't decline!"
Zhou Ji followed closely and clasped his fists: "Your Highness, please give orders to the whole army. The loyal army will obey the orders!"
The generals of the Pinglu Army, Liu Dazheng, Zhao Polu, Shangguan Qingcheng and others were all overjoyed to see Zhou Ji and Yang Fuguang so sensible, but Wang Shu looked away, as if he didn't care about it.
Li Ye didn't have the habit of being humble and courteous, and this battle on the battlefield was nothing else, so there was no need to make excuses, so he did his part and said, "Since that's the case, this commander will take on this responsibility."
He was originally recruiting envoys from the east camp, and it was only natural to be a commander in chief. What is the so-called recruiting envoys from the east camp? That is to say, the army east of Tongguan must be headed by Li Ye, subject to his restraint, and obey his orders. The Zhongwu Army was originally within the scope of his order, and Yang Fuguang and Zhou Ji's statement at this time was to clarify the position of the Zhongwu Army.
Li Ye had discussed with Yang Fuguang and Zhou Ji about the grand plan for the expedition, but at this moment he was just finalizing the details and telling the generals to know. Soon, the plan for the army to go to battle became clear. Li Ye ordered the generals on the spot and issued military orders, mainly to divide the responsibilities of the vanguard, the central army, the flanks, the rear army's supplies, food and fodder collection and transfer.
Next, Li Ye assembled all the troops outside Xuzhou city, sacrificed the flag and went out.
Gossip aside, let’s say that when the army entered the territory under the jurisdiction of the Shannan Dongdao Jiedu Envoy, they did not directly attack Dengzhou, but went to Tangzhou first, and drew part of Tangzhou’s garrison. At the same time, Li Ye wrote a letter to Shannan Dongdao Jiedu Send Liu Jurong to send troops north to attack Dengzhou with the army.
Dengzhou was originally the vassal state of the Jiedu envoy of Shannan Dongdao. Although Li Ye and others believed that Liu Jurong would not send troops to help, since he arrived at his territory, Li Ye still wanted to greet him loudly. By the way, it was equivalent to telling him that if he If he didn't send troops to join the army, he would have to send food and fodder to the army after Dengzhou was captured.
When the main force of the army stayed in Tangzhou for a while, Shangguan Qingcheng led three thousand inner teeth, as the vanguard of the army, and went straight to Dengzhou.
It stands to reason that using three thousand fine cavalry as a vanguard seems a bit small, and five thousand soldiers and horses are needed anyway, but Shangguan Qingcheng's inner teeth are the absolute elite under Li Ye's command, not to mention the heaviest training tasks and the most armed forces. Excellent, suppressed the most bandits in Pinglu, and the proportion of monks in the army is the highest among all armies.
Since it is Li Ye's inner tooth and most trusted part, then when it comes to the battlefield, of course they have to rush to the forefront. On the one hand, it is to give them a chance to make contributions, and on the other hand, it also shows Li Ye's determination to fight.
Li Ye specially named Sanqian Neiya "Langya Capital". The meaning of why he chose the name Langya is self-evident. Army, that is Pinglu Army.
The first battle of Langya, the task is very simple, clear the road from Tangzhou to Dengzhou, and clean up the Zhu and Wen tribes along the way. This is the first shot, and it must be fired to deter Zhu and Wen's troops. Improve the morale of officers and soldiers.
In order to fire the first shot, Li Ye showed his true colors, dressed all over his body, walked with Shangguan Qingcheng, and became a cavalry soldier.

Young Master Si Ming was also put on armor by Li Ye and asked them to follow the cavalry formation. It has to be said that after the young master put on his armor, his demeanor changed suddenly, which made people's eyes shine.
Da Si Ming's makeup has always been delicate and mature, and it belongs to the category of iceberg beauties. Now that he is wearing armor, his murderous aura has not diminished but increased, and he has an extra heroic aura, which looks fierce. After Shao Si Ming put on the armor, he wasn't that scary, on the contrary, he looked more and more fragile, like a snail wrapped in a carapace, which made people love and pity.
Li Ye's bad taste was satisfied, he looked back at the two of them from time to time, and sometimes he couldn't help it, so he laughed out loud, causing Shangguan Qingcheng to stare at him resentfully from time to time.
