The Emperor Reigns Them All

Chapter 217: Unexpected (third update)

Views:

Yang Fuguang was thinking for Li Ye's sake. He was a little worried that Li Ye would become angry after being unable to attack for a long time, and let Pinglu keep attacking desperately. In the end, he might cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers, and after the casualties reached a certain level, he had to rest and recuperate. It is cheaper for the Yanmen Army.

Li Ye smiled: "The supervisor doesn't have to worry, I know it well."

Yang Fuguang breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Then tomorrow?"

Li Ye said: "The Pinglu army attacked the city."

Yang Fuguang was stunned, what he said about his feelings was in vain

Seeing Yang Fuguang's conflicted expression, Li Ye wanted to persuade him not to be so reckless, but he was also afraid that the other party might suspect that he was targeting Li Keyong.

Li Ye was quite moved, and suddenly asked: "When does the supervisor think that Tongguan will be broken?"

Yang Fuguang sighed: "Forgive me, Your Highness, there is no more than a month, I am afraid it is impossible."

Li Ye smiled and said, "Tomorrow."

Yang Fuguang was taken aback.

"This is top secret, and I hope the supervising army will keep it secret." Li Ye's smile became deeper, but he didn't intend to explain further.

The second monk Yang Fuguang was puzzled, he probably felt that Li Ye was talking in his sleep, and he left in a complicated mood. Not long after, Shangguan Qingcheng, Song Jiao, Zhao Po, and Liu Dazheng came to meet each other.

Li Ye looked at them and asked lightly, "Are you all ready?"

Everyone said: "According to His Highness's order, everything is ready."

Li Ye nodded, and finally looked at Song Jiao, the latter replied tactfully, "It has been verified for the seventh time."

When she was speaking, she bit the three words "seventh time" very hard. Obviously, Li Ye made her go through so much trouble, and it was a bit hard for her.

Li Ye stood up, came to the map, slid his fingers across the map, and his eyes gradually became sharper: "In the past few days, we used 20,000 old troops to fight. After several months of fighting, the Pinglu Army, among the 100,000 soldiers, The strength of the 80,000 new army has already grown by leaps and bounds, far from being comparable to the 20,000 old army. However, in the square city of the Forbidden Valley, even the old army can pull out a few at will. After these days of fierce fighting, the enemy army is exhausted, and the arrows and ammunition are seriously depleted. Once the new army enters the field, then Tongguan must be in hand!"

Speaking of this, Li Ye glanced at everyone: "After the capture of Tongguan, the army should not stop. Shangguan Qingcheng led Spike Du 3,000 cavalry, and went straight to Huazhou. I will allocate another 5,000 cavalry for you, a total of 8,000 cavalry. One request, drive straight into Huazhou City!"

Shangguan Qingcheng clasped his fists and said: "The two armies have been at Tongguan for many days. Not only the Zhongwu Army and the Yanmen Army believe that the war is bound to be a stalemate, but also the bandit army guarding Tongguan and Huazhou. Tongguan is not far from Huazhou. It can be rushed in two hours, if Tongguan can be captured quickly, Huazhou will not be able to react in time, and the last general can directly rush into the city, without giving them a chance to react and close the city gate."

Li Ye nodded slightly: "The Tsingyi Yamen has dispatched elite monks to lurk in Huazhou. As long as you don't walk too slowly, even if Huazhou reacts and wants to close the city gate, Tsingyi Yamen can help you for a while."

Shangguan Qingcheng said: "Your Highness, don't worry, if you can't capture Huazhou, you will come to see me!"

Li Ye nodded and said nothing more.

Li Ye is determined to take the credit for conquering Tongguan and Huazhou, and will not leave any soup for Li Ke. At that time, when Li Keyong reacted, Shangguan Qingcheng had already rushed through Tongguan.

This is why Li Ye came to attack the city with only the old army for the past few days, in order to make Li Ke use his contempt and neglect to take precautions, thinking that Li Ye would not be able to attack Tongguan in the short term, so that he could "surprise" the other party.

As for the two Realm Realms in Tongguan, that's what Song Jiao confirmed several times.

The next day, Li Ye didn't wear any armor, but only wore a green shirt. He didn't go to Tongguan, but followed Liu Dazheng to the Forbidden Valley Twelve City.

Li Keyong heard that Li Ye went to the Forbidden Valley, and he didn't even wear armor. He made it clear that he didn't intend to go to the battlefield to supervise the battle. He just wanted to take a look at the rear. When Dengzhou defeated Zhu Wen and swept the Guandong, people all over the world praised Li Ye for being brave and good at fighting, and said he was better than Li Xian. I thought he was really a great talent. But that's all."

Huiming said expressionlessly: "Outstanding people come forth in troubled times, but how many real talents are there? Li Ye was able to capture Dengzhou. In the final analysis, it was Zhu Wen's bloody battle to win Dengzhou. It was time to be exhausted, and Li Ye United with the Zhongwu Army, the momentum is huge, and it takes advantage of the general situation."

"If you really want to talk about fighting on the battlefield, how can the Pinglu Army compare with the Yanmen Army? The Shatuo tribe has guarded the border for generations, and fighting on the battlefield is commonplace. The cavalry warriors of the Tatar tribe also grew up on horseback since they were young. Horses are skilled, and the cavalry in the Central Plains cannot be compared."

Li Ke said complacently: "I wonder if Li Ye will recognize the situation after returning from the Forbidden Valley today, and know that the Xiongguan pass is not something he can capture with the Pinglu army, so he will invite this general to fight instead."

Huiming didn't look sideways: "Whether he invites you today or not, he will eventually invite him. Why is the commander in a hurry?"

"The master is right."

Li Keyong suddenly became interested, so he tasted tea and played chess with Huiming. As a general in the battlefield, Li Keyong never liked playing chess, which was too literary, but he was in a good mood today, so he was willing to play two hands with Huiming. Watching Pinglu Jun and Li Ye suffer in the past few days, Li Keyong is getting happier day by day.

After less than two rounds of chess, a scout rushed to report: "Report! Commander, Pinglu's army captured a city in the Forbidden Valley!"

Li Keyong was slightly stunned: "Oh? I haven't made an inch of effort for many days, but I didn't expect to have a result today."

Huiming said: "Having failed to conquer a Fangcheng for many days, this shows that their attack on that Fangcheng has reached a very deep level, and it is only natural that Fangcheng cannot withstand it."

The two of them stopped talking and continued to play chess.

This time, just after a round was played, the scouts reported back again, more eagerly than last time: "Report! The Pinglu army defeated two square cities in a row!"

Li Ke was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly, the chess piece in his hand hadn't been dropped for a long time, he turned and stared at the scout: "What's going on?"

The scout replied: "The Pinglu army's offensive is extremely fierce today, and even King An went into battle in person!"

"Li Ye has already made a move? No wonder he was able to take down two square cities in a row. He was just furious and going to fight for his life?" Li Keyong looked worried, with a hint of worry on his brows. He glanced at the calm Huiming and suddenly laughed. , "Master, are the two real people at the Daomen of Zhongnan Mountain still in Tongguan?"

Huiming said: "Report this morning, the other party is still there."

Li Ke smiled more and more: "That's enough, Li Ye will take action himself, how can those two real people sit idly by? Now there are only two left in Fangcheng, and they are also the two most difficult to fight. If you are a real person, you will definitely not ignore things!"

Huiming's voice was flat, but he was confident: "This is natural."

The two continued to play.

This time the game was not finished, and the scouts reported three times: "Report! Commander, the Pinglu army will go to another square city, and now the bandit army in the Forbidden Valley has all retreated to the last square city!"

Li Keyong's face changed drastically, and he asked eagerly, "Did you make a move in the real world?"

"No!"

Li Keyong couldn't care about playing chess anymore, got up in surprise, buried his head in the tent, paced back and forth, his brows were furrowed, and for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "No, I have to go and see for myself! Only the last one is left. A square city, although it is reported that the square city is very strong, comparable to Tongguan itself, but the progress of the Pinglu army today is too fast!"

Li Keyong immediately said: "Come here, bring me the handsome horse!"

Huiming looked at the chessboard without saying a word, and the chess piece in his hand was flying at his fingertips, but he didn't land in the end. Finally, he lost the chess piece and got up to catch up with Li Keyong.

Li Keyong was in a hurry, and couldn't wait to dispatch his own soldiers and elite cavalry, so he directly led a group of monks and masters, and started to plunder the Forbidden Valley.

Crossing the ridges and valleys, eleven square cities passed by his feet along the way. Except for the five in front, those square cities seemed to be seriously damaged, and some of the city walls were directly cracked. The shocking piece of flesh and blood was obviously cut off by a monk with an extremely high level of cultivation.

Li Ke closed his eyes with deep eyebrows, his heart was awe-inspiring. With such a cultivation level, he might not even have the ninth level of Qi training. There is such a master in the Pinglu army? Could it be that Li Ye made the move himself? Isn't he afraid of being besieged by the real world

Even if he can defeat Wujizi, but the two in Tongguan are real people, and they are also the head and elder of Zhongnan Mountain Daomen, and their strength will only be stronger than Wujizi!

Li Keyong couldn't figure it out. According to the logic, since those two were guarding Tongguan, they should have taken action long ago. Li Keyong is very clear that if the Forbidden Valley is broken, the army can directly attack Tongguan from the side!

Li Keyong saw the team of the Pinglu army. On the last hill, there was a camp, all built of stones. The wall was several feet high, and the circumference was more than a mile. It was no longer a camp, but a city. , It is not a problem to garrison thousands of troops inside!

But now, densely packed soldiers of the Pinglu Army rushed towards Fangcheng all over the mountains and plains, like water flooding a golden mountain. In front of the army, some armored monks, like tigers and leopards, jumped over the top of the city one after another, leading the soldiers who climbed the city from the ladder, and started a fierce battle at the top of the city.

Li Keyong quickly approached, his eyes suddenly froze, surprise and surprise, like waves, swayed across his face, once Wu appeared, he couldn't hold back anymore.

He looked at the soldiers of the Pinglu Army in disbelief, as if he didn't know each other at all, what he saw was a strange army!

This batch of Pinglu army was completely different from the Pinglu army he had seen in Tongguan and the Pinglu army he had seen in Li Ye's barracks.

They are brightly dressed, and the armor is so sophisticated that people are jealous. Every soldier is armed to the toe, with a round shield in one hand, a spear in the other, a horizontal knife in his belt, and a bow and arrow on his back. Short crossbow! Each of them is covered in armor, even their faces are hidden in the visor!
