Li Ye consumed a lot of spirit energy, only 30% to 40% of it was left. If Shimen was ruthless, he would still be able to last a battle.

But in fact, he couldn't use up all the aura, otherwise, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
At this point, the situation is already very difficult, no matter how much Li Ye saves, he will soon face the situation where he is at the end of his rope.
After much deliberation, the next battle can only rely on the power of the bed crossbow, the magic weapon.
With this in mind, he called Peng Zushan over and asked him if he could further improve the method of using the magic weapon bed crossbow to make it more effective.
Peng Zushan said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, don't talk about increasing the power of the magic weapon bed crossbow, it's good that they can still be used in the next battle. In this battle just now, two of the ten magic weapon bed crossbows were broken. One was destroyed by a bald donkey, and the other exploded because it was overloaded with continuous operation."
Li Ye was startled for a moment, but soon understood again.
In the case of continuous firing of crossbow bolts, it is understandable that the crossbow is overloaded beyond the limit, resulting in the collapse of the crossbow body. As a traverser, Li Ye roughly understood this phenomenon as the explosion caused by the overheating of the gun barrel.
In the battle just now, the magic weapon bed crossbow fired almost continuously for an hour or two. strangeness.
But it was also because of this that the suppressed monks couldn't raise their heads. Even if they kept dodging crossbow arrows and hiding in various blind spots, they eventually suffered nearly ten thousand casualties.
Li Ye asked Peng Zushan: "The relaxation time provided between the battles is not enough for the magic weapon bed crossbow to recover?"
The reason for asking this is because Li Ye vaguely remembers that in shooting games, machine guns like the Gatling can continue to chug after firing hundreds of bullets in a row, and then cool down a little.
Peng Zushan's face became more and more ugly, "It can be relieved a little, but it is not enough to fully recover. In the next battle, I am afraid that the speed of launching crossbow bolts from the magical bed crossbow will be slower than before. Only in this way can they support more long time."
Hearing this, Li Ye's heart skipped a beat.
The lethality of the magic weapon bed crossbow cannot be increased, but it will be weakened. How to fight the next battle
Peng Zushan suddenly thought of something, and started chattering again: "The materials we chose are not very good, although we have completely manufactured the magic weapon bed crossbow, but now it seems that we have underestimated the damage and wear to the crossbow when firing the crossbow bolts continuously.
"If you want to make a more durable magic weapon bed crossbow, you must first replace it with a tougher crossbow string. The crossbow itself also needs to be forged stronger. Only after a lot of hard work can it produce fine materials. After I go back, I will have to think about it with Master. Your Highness, I It suddenly occurred to me that a rare ore could be used to replace the original spirit stone... "
Before he could finish speaking, Li Ye kicked him away.
For such a professional question, it is enough for Peng Zushan to think on his own. Li Ye has no plans to develop in the direction of engineering. According to the experience and lessons of past dynasties, a monarch who is immersed in craftsmanship cannot be a good emperor.
While the soldiers of the Guiyi Army were simply cleaning the battlefield, treating the wounded, and clearing away the corpses, Zhang Huaishen, the governor of the Guiyi Army, arrived with a group of Daoist monks.
The battle at Yangguan had already started for a long time, enough for Zhang Huaishen to get the news and lead his capable forces to rush over to support.
They came very stealthily, they didn't fly directly to the critical moment from mid-air, but ran quickly on the ground.
As a result of this, when they walked to the top of the city, the monk regiment outside the pass did not find anything unusual. Zhang Huaishen is worthy of being a veteran of both wisdom and courage on the battlefield. He can repel the Uyghur attacks time and time again and quell the internal turmoil. He still has a few brushes.
However, looking at their dusty appearance and blood stains on their robes, it seems that the road is not peaceful.
"Jiedu Envoy of Guiyi Army, Zhang Huaishen, pays homage to His Royal Highness Prince An!" Zhang Huaishen led the crowd to salute.
Li Ye helped Zhang Huaishen up, and exchanged a few simple greetings, mainly to express the court's affirmation of Gui Yijun and him personally, and to understand their hardships and hardships, so he asked directly: "When Zhang Shuai came over, there was a battle on the way?"
During the greetings, Zhang Huai expressed his loyalty to the imperial court with the Guiyi Army, his admiration for Li Ye, and his gratitude to Li Ye for his condolences. .
In response to Li Ye's question, he replied: "When we passed by Dunhuang, there were a few Shimen bald donkeys in the Vajra Realm who made trouble and were killed by us. Because there were many monks and monks gathered in the city, it took some time."
Li Ye nodded slightly.
These Buddhist monks who attacked Yangguan on a large scale all came from the western plateau and Tianzhu. This is the only way for low-level monks to travel eastward on a large scale.
However, in Sha, Gua and other states, there are Shimen forces themselves. They are making troubles in various places at the moment, echoing the army of monks operating in Yangguan and Pipa Mountain, which is also what the title should mean.
But seeing Zhang Huaishen's easy-going words, Li Ye knew that the power of monks and monks inside was actually not that great.
At least the Shimen monks in Sha and Gua prefectures, even if they suddenly acted against the Guiyi army, there was no possibility of shaking the foundation of the Guiyi army. In these two states, the Guiyi Army has the final say, and they maintain absolute dominance.
There are ten real-life monks brought by Zhang Huaishen. For the feudal town, this is a very unusual force. Besides, Zhang Huaishen came to support Yangguan, and he would definitely not let the masters come out. Those who sit in town to ensure the stability of the rear.
In this way, there should be nearly twenty real people in the Guiyi Army. Compared with the vassals and towns in the Central Plains, there is a huge disparity in strength. Li Maozhen, Gao Pian, and Wang Jian have only sixty or seventy real people under their command.
However, the Guiyi Army is a frontier army. During Zhang Yichao's time, the Guiyi Army was even more powerful and mighty in the eleven prefectures. Even if it is declining now, it will fight alone for many years in an environment surrounded by powerful enemies. It is not enough to have such a background Surprised.
"Your Highness is able to come to Yangguan, and he also brought many great monks to help our Guiyi army guard Yangguan... I am very grateful." When watching the battle of monks and soldiers outside the city with Li Ye, Zhang Huaishen Said with great emotion.
His gratitude was not fake at all, but instead had the meaning of "you are finally here". When he said this, his eyes were faintly red when he looked outside Huangtu City.
This made Li Ye not know how to answer. He could hear that what Zhang Huaishen originally wanted to say was not so concise, there should be more content. It's just that after speaking, he opened his mouth a few times and then closed it again. There were thousands of words in his chest, and only these words came out.
I am grateful, these four words are full of weight, and there are not many soldiers of the Guiyi Army who have the opportunity to experience the hope that these four words bring.
Li Ye just nodded slightly and didn't say much. In the face of what Zhang Huaishen did not say, no amount of words would seem powerless.
In any case, Li Ye came a bit late.
But better late than never.
On the rammed earth city wall stained red with blood, Chu Zheng sat with his back against the wall, while Zhang Changan was bandaging the wound on his left arm. In the fierce battle just now, because he charged too fiercely at the monks and soldiers, he ran too far and escaped the response range of his comrades. As a result, he accidentally cut a three-inch-long gash on his arm.
The injury is not serious, but the lesson learned is not small.
"I feel like after this battle, I can become an old soldier." Chu Zheng smiled and said to Zhang Chang'an, "You are the same. When we return to Jincheng County, we will not be envied to death? Thousands of miles to help, The bloody battle against Yangguan, defeating 50,000 cultivators and returning, that is a heroic deed worthy of bragging."
Zhang Changan curled his lips, expressing that his brother's ambition is really too small, "If you cut off a diamond-level head, that would be something worth showing off."
"Diamond Realm? Thanks to you, you can tell! If someone sticks his neck in front of him and asks me to chop, I may not be able to cut into the opponent's flesh with a single knife." Chu Zheng laughed loudly.
Zhang Changan sighed, and glanced at Chu Zheng angrily.
My best friend, when I was selling soup cakes in Jincheng County, always had a dead face. If I could finish it in two words, I would never add an intonation word.
Fortunately, since he left Jincheng County, he has completely lost his demeanor of a master. He talks too much to talk nonsense, and he often likes to pretend to be heroic and laugh, which makes people very uncomfortable.
Nangong No. 1 always had endless wine, but now that Li Ye was talking to Zhang Huaishen, he didn't intend to join in. Drinking alone is unavoidably lonely, especially when he is sitting on the parapet, looking in the direction of Shouchang County in a daze.
"I heard from Li Ye that you fell in love with a young girl in Shouchang County?" Li Xian came to Nangong No. 1, stood with his back against the female wall, and smiled playfully at the other party, "Why, this is why we can't say goodbye. After half a day, you start to miss Wenxiang nephrite?"
Nangong No. 1 coughed violently. He spit out all the wine that had just entered his throat, looking embarrassed and awkward. He also looked at Li Xian full of astonishment and bewilderment, as if he didn't know him.
Although Nangong No. 1 also felt embarrassed to be exposed face to face on the battlefield about missing a woman, it was not so out of control. Li Xian, on the other hand, has always been serious and unsmiling, and has never cared about such trivial matters, especially his daughter's affection.
Nangong first caressed his chest. Although he was not very proficient in the world, he also felt the kindness conveyed by Li Xian. When he left Yangguan last time and said that he planned to believe in the gods, although Li Xian didn't say much, he still showed disappointment and contempt. Now he came to settle the past with him, and it also meant to apologize.
"She's a good girl, but she's not as blatant as you said. She's as thin as a piece of dry wood. She hasn't grown up yet, and she has to wait a few years."
Nangong No.1 said in a nonchalant tone, to show that he was a dignified man and would never indulge in tenderness, but the warmth and tenderness revealed in his squinted eyes could never deceive anyone.
Li Xian laughed and said, "What's your name?"
"No name." Only then did Nangong Yi think of it, and passed a jar of wine to Li Xian, "It's good for a child from a poor family to survive. If there is any name, they are all called by little girls."
Speaking of this, he suddenly pondered seriously, and said thoughtfully: "But I'm still thirteen or fourteen years old, so I should have a different name. The big and small girls all over the street are too ordinary. It's more tasteful."
There is another sentence in the back, Nangong No. 1 didn't say it to Li Xian, and he said it casually, it seemed that Nangong No. 1 didn't pay much attention to others.
Li Xian took a sip of wine moderately, "What name do you plan to name her?"
Nangong first pondered for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Little girl is too casual, I plan to call her Xiaoni! How about it, isn't this a good name?"
Li Xian opened his mouth, was speechless for a while, and finally could only stick out his thumb, "As expected of the head of Qin Tianjian, it really tastes good."
Nangong No.1 raised his head and laughed heartily.
Seeing that Li Xian was taking a sip of wine, although he was not very heroic, he did not stop his movements, he drank a lot of wine, and his eyes were far away, as if something was on his mind, Nangong No. 1 couldn't help but feel childlike, curious Asked: "You are also a senior, why are you so leisurely and elegant today, and you care about my private affairs? Talking about your daughter's love is not in line with your status."
Li Xian smiled, and there was warmth in Gu Bo's calm eyes, "What kind of identity, what kind of senior, no one has ever been young. When I was young, I was better than you in this kind of thing .”
Speaking of this, Li Xian stopped talking, just drank one gulp after another, staring at the closed wall in front of him in a daze.
Li Xian's past is legendary, and Chang'an City has long been spread.
Of course Nangong No. 1 knew that the other party's wife was also his only woman, and she was from a wealthy family in Shandong. At the beginning, the marriage was not approved by the other party's natal family, because Li Xian's governance philosophy was to suppress the rich and support the poor. But Li Xian insisted on snatching her out of the house and marrying him back to Ming Media Zheng.
At that time, his cultivation was the best in the Tang Dynasty, and no one could stop him.
It's a pity that Li Xian's wife passed away early because of the unlucky beauty. As for Li Xian, who was honored by King An, he didn't even accept a concubine, not to mention the continuation of the strings.
Nangong No.1 suddenly felt that Li Xian's way of drinking was very appropriate. Because you don't drink much in one sip, you can taste the mellow aroma of the wine carefully. The older the wine, the more you should drink it like this, and the more flavors you can taste. There is no miss or waste in the slightest, and it is several levels higher than Niu Yin.
And the non-stop drinking... This, maybe the wine is really good.
Nangong first looked at Shouchang County, and drank like Li Xian. In his mind, "Xiaoni" was squatting in the pot behind the stove, looking at her peaceful appearance while eating, and felt that the wine today was really good. Drink, better than usual. It is obviously the same wine, but now it tastes sweet.
...
Not long after, the monk regiment launched their third attack on Yangguan.
The battlefield is the best classroom for warfare. In order to better deal with the magic weapon bed crossbow and eliminate Li Ye, the biggest threat, as much as possible, the attacking method of the monk corps has changed.
The most important place is the main force below the fourth level of Qi training. They follow up slowly in the rear and stop outside the range of the magic weapon bed crossbow. The main force launched a fierce attack on Yangguan.
As long as they are not too close to the magic weapon bed crossbow, and charge directly in front of the magic weapon bed crossbow array, monks who have trained Qi above the fourth level will have the ability to save their lives. When they find out the range of the magic weapon bed crossbow, they will concentrate their efforts to destroy it, and the monks who are below the fourth level of Qi training will follow up and capture Yangguan in an all-round way.
But until these Shimen monks jumped onto the city wall, the magic weapon bed crossbow did not make a sound, and all the Biyou crossbows that had been criss-crossing before the pass were all gone at this moment.
This is the military order Li Ye issued to Peng Zushan. As long as the main force of the monk corps is not close, there is no need to use the bed crossbow, and the left and right are of little use.
Li Ye is also a veteran in the battlefield, Shimen can tell what kind of plan he has in changing his tactics.
As a result, the battle became a downright hand-to-hand combat.
Fighting on the battlefield without reaching the level of a real person, flying around inside and outside the city wall is undoubtedly an act of courting death.
It is easy to hide a spear with a clear spear, but it is difficult to defend against a hidden arrow. When a person is flying in the air, the movements he can do are limited, and Qi training monks cannot move freely. Shooting birds made no difference.
Hand-to-hand fighting and fighting in battle formations are undoubtedly the army's forte. Five people form an formation, ten people form a team, cooperate skillfully, advance and retreat with evidence, and have both offense and defense.
Even if the individual combat power of the soldiers is not as good as these monks, but under the leadership of the corporal leader and the captain, the long and short weapons cooperate with each other, and the bows and crossbows support each other, so it is not difficult to deal with the opponent's attack. And if he can successfully compress the opponent's movement space, a volley of magic weapon crossbows will be fired, even a monk in the middle of Qi training will be in a hurry.
Once a small school and generals join in, with his extraordinary combat power and in coordination with his subordinates' actions, the trapped Shimen monks will suffer catastrophe.
This kind of battle is very entertaining. The key point is that a group of ordinary soldiers and low-level monks restrict the actions of high-level monks step by step, and finally successfully behead them.
Of course, in terms of the absolute number of casualties, the Guiyi Army is still much higher than these monks. But this does not affect the morale of the soldiers of the Guiyi Army. Being able to kill a limited number of mid-to-high-end monks who practice Qi is definitely worth fighting for.
As the number one thorn in the eyes of the Buddha and King Ming, the King Kong monks, the target of Li Ye has not changed because of the change of the fighting method. There are still thirty or forty opponents in front of him.
The leader is none other than King Ming with a white beard. He stood behind a few high-ranking diamond-level monks, and while ensuring that he was far enough away from Li Ye, he did not forget to protect himself, so he stared at Li Ye and shouted: "Devil, it's up to now. Don't you know how to wake up?!"
Holding Lu Jujian in his hand, Li Ye smiled and said, "Why do you wake up?"
King Ming said sternly: "You have been fighting for a long time, according to my observation, only 30% to 40% of your spiritual energy is left! This amount of power is not enough for you to deal with us! If you don't know how to wake up, once you are besieged by us, I don’t even have a chance to escape from Yangguan to save my life!”
These words were harsh, but the meaning to be expressed was not so arrogant: Li Ye can go.
Li Ye wanted to leave, not to mention whether Wang and the others could stop them, they definitely wouldn't stop them right now.
That's right, as long as Li Ye leaves Yangguan, the monk army will be able to capture Yangguan, then sweep through Shazhou and Guazhou, all the way east to join the Shimen army in Liangzhou. At that time, they will be much more confident when facing Li Ye.
At least, King Ming thought so.
Li Ye jokingly said: "It seems that you, old bald donkey, cherish your life very much. That's right, if you really fight to the death, there may not be a few of you Diamond Realm left, and there may not be many of you who are going to deal with the Guiyi Army next time." Fully grasped."
King Ming snorted coldly, "Since you know that in the end, we will win and you will surely die, why don't you leave quickly?"
"Because..." Li Ye jumped up suddenly when he said this, and took the sword in his hand to King Ming, "You are the ones who will lose!"
Hearing this and seeing Li Ye coming to kill him, King Ming was furious and wanted to call on everyone to fight Li Ye to the end.
But at this moment, Zhang Huaishen, who was hiding behind the city tower, flew out with ten real people, flying towards them.
Seeing Zhang Huaishen and the big monk behind him, King Ming's expression changed drastically, he yelled inwardly that he was not good, he lost all fighting spirit in an instant, and he was about to leave.
