The setting sun was like blood, but it spread a layer of golden light inside and outside Yangguan.
The wall was already covered in blood, and there was hardly any rammed earth and yellow sand, not to mention the corpses flowing in the pool of blood, just the remains of severed limbs hanging on the female wall, and the shattered viscera and intestines everywhere. shocking. With this layer of golden brilliance, it actually showed a sense of holiness.
It's a pity that the setting sun went down in a blink of an eye. When countless fire lights appeared inside and outside the closed wall, bursting aura light clusters, flickering sword qi and knife lights, overflowing colorful aura, and countless people running and fighting in bright or dark light. The warriors who killed each other, like ghosts and ghosts, set off the dilapidated and majestic Guancheng into a ghost town.
Li Ye knew that the battle would not last long.
More than half of the monk corps had been killed or injured, and the corpses could almost accumulate in the open space outside the pass city to form another grand pass. The more than 12,000 soldiers stationed at Yangguan lost 70% to 80%. If it wasn't for the timely support of the Guiyi Army Jingqi in the afternoon, Yangguan would have changed hands.
Every time between battles, the soldiers of the Guiyi Army would clean up the large corpses at the top of the city and gather them in the city. Because it was winter, there was no need to worry about rotting and giving birth to plague in a short period of time, so there was no fire. Lose.
The level of the Buddha's finger-to-hand combat is rapidly improving. The most notable manifestation is that the monks are no longer rushing out in a swarm, but have begun to rotate in an orderly manner, so as to ensure the continuous attack on Yangguan and prevent the Guiyi Army from being defeated. Chance to respite and replenish defensive equipment, such as rocks and logs, arrows and crossbows.
Due to the decline in the number of people attacking the city, the formation of the monks became scattered, no longer as dense as before, and there was a large gap between them. The number of enemies is also decreasing.
Of course, this is not difficult for the Guiyi Army. In terms of command and combat skills, any commander randomly twisted out of the Guiyi Army is no worse than Buddha. If it is said that Fozi's method of arranging troops refers to the level of warfare, then what the senior generals of the Guiyi Army displayed is the art of war.
In continuous battles, the difference in the level of command and combat has a crucial impact on the development of the battle situation. Yangguan was not breached by the powerful monk corps, thanks to the excellent art of war of the generals of the Guiyi Army.
Night is not suitable for large armies to fight, whether it is a siege or a field battle. But this does not apply to the monks. The attacks of the monk corps are still wave after wave, and they are as fierce and cruel as in the daytime.
Illuminated by fire and spiritual energy, the soldiers of the Guiyi Army didn't feel much uncomfortable.
At this time, the powerful background of the Guiyi Army was fully revealed. Although Zhang Huaishen went to mobilize heavy troops and was no longer at the city gate, several senior generals still changed their formations appropriately, using the dim place where the aura light was weak, dispatching troops and hiding the ambush. Either encircle the enemy, or divide the opponent's queue.
The magic weapon bed crossbow was destroyed one after another, and Peng Zushan was so distressed that he howled. When he carried the parts of the bed crossbow to hide, his eyes were red, and those who didn't know thought he had died of his wife.
After a whole day's fierce battle, the number of enemies killed by the magic weapon bed crossbow array has reached an appalling number. Let alone half of them are left now, even if one is gone, Li Ye will not think there is any problem.
At the head of the city of Yangguan, those who devoted themselves to death were not only the soldiers of the Guiyi Army, but also these invincible magical weapons, bed crossbows.
The cavalry that arrived at Yangguan in the afternoon was led by a commander of the capital. It was a complete team of 5,000 people, all of whom were light cavalry. This is a battlefield attack, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and giving the opponent the power of a sharp knife to strike unexpectedly.
But now, the cavalry have all dismounted, holding a round shield in one hand and a horizontal knife in the other, and with the standard short crossbow, they rushed to the top of the city to fight on foot with the monk regiment. One after another, the cavalry generals were heartbroken. Stop and take a breath.
Letting cavalry dismount and fight on foot is the greatest insult and waste to cavalry. However, the situation in Yangguan was like this. Although the generals of the cavalry were twitching, they didn't complain. They just became more violent when fighting.
It seems that as long as he bleeds more and kills more bald donkeys, his subordinates will die less, and the cavalry can save more vitality. The general will use his life, and the soldiers are naturally desperate to die. These dismounted cavalry, even if they are fighting on foot in the city, their explosive combat power is stronger than that of ordinary infantry, which is staggering to watch.
The Han and Tang Dynasties produced fierce generals, good generals, famous generals, and also produced unparalleled armored soldiers. The number of them was so large, and their peak combat power was maintained for a long time that future dynasties could not match it. These generals led such soldiers to fight bravely and bloodily, and they went on and on, dying without hesitation. Their heroic and generous appearance made Li Ye's blood rush straight to his forehead.
The cultivators with real strength on both sides began to keep in contact with each other, testing each other, mainly the Buddha was testing Li Ye, wanting to find out how their auras were recovering. Perhaps, it also means that they continue to consume their aura and prevent them from recovering smoothly.
Li Ye didn't mean to maintain his inscrutable image. As long as the monks in the Vajra Realm of the Shimen were too strong and brought life-threatening pressure to Zhang Huaishen, who was in the Realm Realm, he would attack brazenly.
Every time he made a move, Lu Jujian didn't swing much, just one stroke.
Under a single sword, there must be a King Kong Realm seriously injured, or directly fall, so as to save one's own Daoist Realm.
Although there was only one sword, the other diamond-level monks would immediately back away.
You can't do without retreating, no one knows how many times Li Ye can slash, and whether the next slash will fall on his head. Such an attack from left to right is a temptation, and Buddha didn't let them fight to the death.
After Li Ye slashed out with a sword, he retracted his long sword, continued to stand on the top of the tower, overlooking the entire battlefield, and retreated indifferently facing the monks in the Vajra Realm of Shimen, not fond of fighting or chasing, the wind was calm and calm.
He didn't let the young master take action, even though they are in good condition and strong, they are enough to face ordinary diamonds. But this is a necessary strength preservation on the battlefield, needless to say.
The place where the Guiyi Army ruled the state is Dunhuang, Shazhou, not too far from Yangguan. The biggest reason why Zhang Huaishen could only dispatch fine cavalry to help was to guard against changes in Suo Xun and Zhang Huaiding in Guazhou.
Now, since Suo Xun and Zhang Huaiding have been tied to Yangguan, and their core forces have been eliminated, Zhang Huaishen has no scruples anymore, he can let go of his hands and feet, mobilize the Shazhou army that was originally wary of Suo Xun, and rush to Yangguan to help in the battle .
The battle lasted all night, and by the fifth watch, all the magic weapon beds and crossbows had disintegrated, and the soldiers of the Guiyi Army guarding the pass, including the five thousand elite cavalry who rushed to rescue them later, were only able to fight. More than three thousand people.
The casualties exceeded 80%.
In a conventional war, Yangguan would have been lost long ago.
But this is not a conventional war, and the Guiyi Army is not an ordinary army.
So they can persist and fight again.
The battle damage of the monk corps was also huge, and now there are more than 10,000 people left.
Fozi had a thousand reasons to be furious, but he didn't do it. After King Ming died in battle, he became more and more calm. Looking at the blood-stained monks and soldiers in front of him, the Buddha was silent for a long time before he spoke with a compassionate and reverent expression.
He said: "It's almost dawn. There are not many guards at Yangguan, and the terrifying magic weapon, the bed crossbow, has stopped making sounds. It must have been damaged. We have lost so many colleagues. If we can't take Yangguan, we will die." In the end, they couldn't get relief. In the next battle, everyone will be dispatched to launch a deadly attack, and they will never die."
Speaking of this, seeing everyone's bloody expressions, Fozi suddenly smiled and said confidently: "I have received news that the army fighting fiercely with the monks of the Tang Dynasty in the east has made great progress and has captured Pipa Mountain. All of you I know that the army of Tang Dynasty monks over there is the foundation of Li Ye.
"If something goes wrong there, Li Ye will have no choice but to flee. As long as we win Yangguan and cooperate with our colleagues there, we can easily sweep Shazhou and Guazhou and complete our set goal. At that time, because of Li Ye Ye's army of monks has been wiped out, and it will be easy for us to connect to Hexi, or even go east in a big way.
"The Yang Pass right now is indeed a huge catastrophe. Many of our monks have not been able to get through it, but it doesn't matter. The reason why the catastrophe is a catastrophe is that people will definitely die. As long as we conquer the Yang Pass and get through this catastrophe, the future If the road is smooth and bright, all of us monks will be at ease."
Hearing that the eastern battlefield was progressing smoothly and that a major breakthrough had been made, victory was imminent.
On the one hand, they wanted to compete with each other. After all, it was also an army of 50,000 monks, and no one wanted to lose to anyone; Gritting your teeth and persevering, and getting through the current difficulties, the road ahead will indeed be clear.
The fighting soon began again.
More than 10,000 Shimen monks launched a decisive attack on Yangguan without the threat of the magic weapon bed crossbow.
In front of him was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The yellow sand was not yellow sand long ago, but reddish-brown clay. There were countless corpses of his companions on the ground, most of them with incomplete limbs.
Especially before closing the wall, a wide carpet of corpses was laid out, and the corpses under the city wall were piled up like a mountain. Even the monks with the lowest cultivation base could use these corpses as a ladder to jump directly to the top of the city.
Buddha and many diamond-level monks also joined the last wave of siege operations. At this time, there was no more temptation, no more reservations, everyone went into battle together, and used all their strength to the extreme, in order to fight out A win or a loss.
From the point of view of the Buddha, there are only more than 3,000 Yangguan guards left, and they have more than 10,000 monks. The Guiyi Army has no magic weapon bed crossbow array, Li Ye and others are in poor condition, and their number of diamonds is also superior. , Victory is definitely at your fingertips, there will be no surprises.
The tide hit the dam, and the waves rolled over the rocks. Instead of white waves, scarlet blood mist flew away. The fighters from both sides fought fiercely, and the light of the aura was like the early sunshine, illuminating the broken body in the bloody flames. pass.
...
Li Xian, Nangong No. 1, Chu Nanhuai, Su Emei, Wei Xiaozhuang and others all went out to fight, and fought against each other's Vajra Realm in mid-air.
If the aura light of Qi training monks is just a strip of neon lights, then the array of magic attacks they launch is not much different from that of Zhaoxia Sunlight.
Yangguan is as bright as day.
Li Ye sat on the stone steps in front of the city tower, holding Lu Jujian with both hands, still not in a hurry to make a move.
Young Master Si Ming stood on both sides behind him, like two beautiful flowers, except that one was pure white gardenia and the other was bright red rhododendron.
Flesh and blood flew all over the city wall, the shouts of the soldiers were thrilling, the puffing sound of spirit energy tearing apart the body was shocking, a sea of stars and clouds appeared from time to time in the mid-air before the pass.
Everything is violent, setting off the sun is crumbling, only Li Ye is calm, like a bell tower on the seaside and a weeping willow on the river bank.
From the beginning of the battle to the present, in almost a day and a night, more than 30,000 qi-training monks in the monk regiment were killed or injured, and more than half of the diamond-level monks were lost. The big monks who can persist until now are all extraordinary. Ordinary people.
It is certain that the state is high, and there is no doubt that the combat power is strong, and the cleverness and agility are the meaning of the question.
Although Li Xian, Nangong No. 1 and the others are strong, they are not satisfied with their aura after all. If they fight against at least half of the great diamond-level monks who are in good condition, even if they don't fall behind on the scene, it will not be easy to win.
Not to mention, Fozi and several elite monks beside him were staring at Li Ye from one side, and hadn't made a move yet.
Li Ye knew that Buddha was observing him.
The other party's eyes went up and down, and I don't know how many times I looked at him from the beginning to the end, from the inside to the outside, but I was still not satisfied, so I didn't make a move.
Li Ye was not in a hurry.
What should come will always come, what should happen will always happen, either you kill me, or you will be trampled under your feet. No matter how horrible things in the world are, they are nothing more than that.
After I die, even if the flood is raging and the common people die, so what? At least, I have done my best for them, and even paid for my life, so I have nothing to feel guilty about.
With such a mind set in his mind, Li Ye was very stable.
Finally, when the sky was pale, Fozi couldn't bear it anymore, and led several absolute masters of Shimen beside him, and rushed straight to kill Li Ye.
Li Ye opened his eyes.
Since you want to fight, then go ahead and fight. If you lose your head and have a scar as big as a bowl, and if you die, you only need a seven-foot earth pit to hold it. What is there to be afraid of
As soon as Li Ye charged up, the Lu Gu sword in his hand was once again burning with raging blue flames, and the high pitched and distant dragon chant sounded from the sword, straight up to the sky.
As soon as Bai Lian made a move in the chief commander's hand, he came to the eyebrows of a Vajra Realm. The stretched Bai Lian came out of the hole much faster than the giant python, and the blue dragon went out to sea not as fast as her.
Shao Siming floated into the air, his whole body was protected by a blue transparent mask, and as his hands kept making moves, leaf chains flew up from the top of the city, and rolled towards the two diamond-level monks like lightning.
Although the young and the young are two people, the level of tacit understanding is the same as that of a person's left and right hands. The person who practiced fierce strikes in vain is also the key object of the young commander's leaf chain; the monk next to the other party , was delayed by Ye Lian, who was ordered by Shao Si to be fierce, but actually much less powerful.
When the two work together, their strength is far greater than one plus one equals two.
Li Ye was different, he rushed out and started a close fight with Buddha.
If it is said that the young master is a long-range mage, Li Ye is a melee assassin, he is the one who charges into the battle, and he is the one who fights in blood. .
Fozi's combat power is not as good as Li Ye's, and even the gap is still obvious, but the great monks beside him are all top masters. In the situation that the Shimen Vajra Realm is already more than the Yangguan Daoist Realm, he has put himself in a lot of trouble. Under protection, the right to entangle with Li Ye.
After Li Ye seriously injured a Vajra Realm, he gave up the idea of quickly beheading other people. It wasn't because of his fault, it was because he needed to consume too much spiritual energy.
As the battle progressed, Li Ye's victories were obvious. Almost all of the Vajra Realm guards who protected the Buddha were injured, and the young and the young joined forces, and they also had good victories. The two of them had already defeated three masters.
But instead of feeling scared, Fozi laughed loudly: "Li Ye! You are doomed!"
Li Ye swung his sword around his head, but was dodged by the opponent. With a backhand flick, he cut off the arm of a big monk who wanted to get close.
Of course he knew what the Buddha was talking about.
Nangong No. 1 fell on the top of the city, Chu Nanhuai crashed through the city tower and smashed into the city, Li Xian was also vomited blood, and was forced to retreat... It's not that they were careless, in fact, they had already beheaded However, after all, the number of opponents is more than them, and the strength is complete. Kill one, but the other person takes the opportunity to attack and severely injure.
The Essence Diamond Realm of Shimen is not something that Gui Yijun's Daoist Realm can compete with, and the latter are actually the group of people who suffered the most losses.
Only Su Emei and Wei Xiaozhuang were still fighting in mid-air, and they were also besieged by six or seven people, so it seemed that they couldn't last long. After the first victory, Young Master Si Ming was also entangled by the Vajra Realm who had killed several Guiyi Army Daoist Realms. Although he did not show defeat, he was unable to support anyone.
Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and is an artifact that supports offline reading. huanyuanapp.org
As for Li Ye himself, facing Buddha and several real strong men in the Vajra Realm, his spiritual energy was also greatly consumed, and now the sea of energy is about to bottom out.
Facing Fozi's arrogant yelling, Li Ye just smiled inexplicably, "People who are happy too early usually end badly."
At this time, the sky was already bright, and the morning sun was shining all over the fields.
Just as the Buddha was about to refute, the corners of his eyes suddenly twitched, and there was an uncontrollable look of horror in his eyes.
The battlefield suddenly changed.
A group of iron armored cavalry came galloping from behind Yangguan, and quickly rushed out of the gate and entered the siege formation of the monks. These elite cavalry, each tall and big, dressed in thin scale armor, holding a lance, hood, waist with a horizontal knife, saddle with a short crossbow, and horses wrapped in iron armor, there are eighteen thousand of them!
Guiyi army, black rhinoceros riding.
The most powerful force in the Guiyi Army.
Relying on them, Zhang Huaishen repelled the attacks of hundreds of thousands of Uighur troops when the border was in emergency again and again!
That was the strength Zhang Yichao and Zhang Huaishen relied on most.
If you don't come out easily, you will go forward indomitably, and you will never return.
The monks who were already exhausted from attacking the city gate were rushed into the formation by black rhinoceros cavalry, like hair combed, fields plowed by teams of oxen, divided into ridges and fields, and there is no complete formation .
At the same time, Zhang Huaishen, followed by four real-life masters, joined the battle group, and came straight to Li Ye, to fight against the Buddha together with him!
Behind Yang Pass, countless qi cultivators swept across Xiangyang Pass with billowing waves of yellow sand.
Those are Qi training monks from Dunhuang and Shouchang, Jianghu Qi training monks, and all monks from the Tang Dynasty.
