Li Ye, who stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the battlefield, his brows and eyes were calm and peaceful. The two armies have reached a critical moment to decide the outcome. As a veteran on the battlefield, he naturally knows it very well. The details of the fighting in the small formation, and the general trend of the advance and retreat of the large formation, are all under his eyes.
If the Dashi Guards had no way to deal with the military generals rushing into battle, today's victory would belong to the Tiger Guards. No, to be more precise, the victory of the two armies in the battle belongs to the Tiger Guards. From today onwards, there will be no more guards like this in the world.
However, after many years of fighting on the battlefield, the opponents are pretty good, and Li Ye can usually see the same with two eyes. Right now, he doesn't think that victory will be so easy - although the two armies are fighting at this point, no matter who wins, It can't be said to be easy.
Because of the tactics of the Dashi Guards who took human lives to break the formation, there are now a lot of corpses left, no matter how you look at it, there are no less than ten thousand corpses, which are spread on the ground like a carpet, which is spectacular from a distance. Although the casualties of the Tiger Guards were only one-tenth of the opponent's, by this time, all the means of suppressing the bottom of the box had been used.
Li Ye looked up at the sky, the sun was very westward, it should be almost You hour. How much time has passed during the day.
Just when he looked up at the sky, Li Ye's heart skipped a beat.
Judging from the position at the head of Hulun City, the sky is as clear as blue, and the chain net of black air opened by the black-robed ghost-faced monks of the Dashi Guards is nothing more than a black cloud in the low sky. It can cover a large formation of ten thousand people, but it is not worth mentioning compared with the entire sky.
And at this moment, high in the sky under the blue sky, gray clouds emerged, and the stratus were like combs.
At the same time, in the formation of the Dashi Guards, except for the monks who were fighting, there was a strange singing sound, like a Taoist chanting scriptures, like a monk singing, with the sound of wind and thunder, like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening.
Those New Moon Sect monks had auras like fireworks. Mullen, who was above the Dashi Guards, opened his arms and wore his robes. More than a hundred thousand people seemed to be burning men, burning themselves, illuminating the god Ma Lun.

The gray clouds under the sky have already covered the sky and the sun, turbulent like boiling water, tumbling like waves, without knowing its breadth or end, like a canopy.
Li Ye felt the pressure as thick as a mountain. It was an unspeakably powerful force, as if it could change the day and day, and change the sea with one blow.
Li Ye is no stranger to similar forces. He also saw it when he conquered Tubo in the past. But at that time, he was the one who led the mortal monks to fight, and the immortals above the fairyland did not accompany him, and the immortal powers never confronted each other, so Li Ye and others were suppressed by their cultivation bases.
Now that the monks from the Immortal Domain came out together, and there was a large army by their side, the situation was very different.
Li Ye didn't appear to be suppressed, so he just felt the opponent's strength, pure strength. He maintained the posture of raising his head with his hands behind his back, and the fingers of his right hand, which was behind his back, kept flexing, like a cook who was about to kill a sheep, and his hand was itchy to hold the butcher's knife.
But he held back after all.
In the blink of an eye, Ma Lun waved his sleeves, and in the sea of gray clouds, countless rays of light shot down, as dense as locusts and as slender as willows, falling precisely on the devoutly praying Crescent Sect monks.
The original aura flames on the New Moon Sect cultivators' body instantly subsided and replaced with an oval-shaped clear mask, which protected them like eggshells.
With Marlon yelling loudly, clear masks rose from each monk, forming eye-catching barriers according to their positions and battle formations.
With the strength of the various military strategists of the Tiger Guards, they stand against each other and complement each other.
The Crescent Sect cultivator, who was originally weak, immediately seemed to have eaten the supreme elixir, his face was flushed and his eyes were burning. They erupted from their throats with inhuman voices, like night owls' strange screams, and they jumped towards the Tiger Guards attacking them.
The collision of the divine power and the power of the battle formation sparked a dazzling light, like small suns, exploding on the battlefield, and yellow sand clouds rose.
After the fierce battle, both the light of divine power and the power of the military formation were weakened by half, but the two sides were still in the same position.
Hold the minimum momentum. The battle formation of the Tiger Guards remained intact, and the New Moon Cult cultivators still had individual masks.
The monks of the New Moon Sect and the soldiers of the Tiger Guards fought in close quarters, and the fight was inextricable for a while, with many casualties on both sides. Relying on the undissipated power of the military formation, the Tiger Guards attacked fiercely. Although the Crescent Cult monks defended passively, they could barely resist with the shields on their bodies, and they were no longer trampled like weeds.
After fighting for a long time, the two sides did not decide the winner, and the war fell into a stalemate again.
until sunset.
Ma Lun's face changed, and the God of Communication asked, "An hour is about to pass. The strength of Tang Jun's military formation is obviously very weak. Why doesn't it dissipate?"
He had already seen that if the Tiger Guards did not have the power of the battle formation, they would not be able to stop the New Moon Sect monks with shields. But now, because of the integrity of the battle formation, even though the New Moon Sect monks had individual shields, they still suffered more casualties.
The divine power shield on the New Moon Sect cultivator's body is no longer too strong, and he can no longer gather that kind of overall enchantment, and now he is almost passively beaten. If this continues, they will not be able to defeat the Tiger Guards.
God did not answer.
At the top of the city, King Qi frowned and said, "The power of the True God of the New Moon Sect cannot be underestimated. If the Tiger Guards had not had more than 200 generals, every 500 people would have some generals who would rise to battle. The strength, the large and small formations are connected with each other, supporting and citing each other, greatly enhancing the endurance, I am afraid that the power of the battle formation has already collapsed."
Up to now, she has seen that although the Tiger Guards are still fighting, they can only barely maintain it. Although it won't be exhausted soon, it can no longer have the power of the peak period. It is impossible to crush the Dashi Guards.
If the fight continues like this, even if the Tiger Guards can achieve some results, they will not be able to really defeat the Dashi Guards.
Li Ye's hand behind his back has regained his composure, "Comparing the strength of the two armies, the Tiger Guards have already defeated the Dashi Guards. But the opponent has the help of the True God of the New Moon Sect, so this battle is barely a draw." Bar."
Speaking of this, he waved his hand and ordered: "Ming Jin withdraws troops."
The sky will be at sunset, and today's battle will be regarded as the end. Although night battles are all right, there is no need for that after all.
Hearing the sound of golden gongs coming from the city, Ma Lun quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and also ordered: "Retreat."
He has no confidence in this battle. Not even the power of the true god can defeat the power of the military battle formation led by a famous military general and hosted by more than two hundred military generals. It is his first time on the battlefield. With the feeling of heart palpitations.
In today's battle, the Dashi Guards suffered unprecedented casualties, and nearly 10% of their troops were lost in the first battle. This is definitely not a normal war. If today's fighting method continues for a few more days, the casualties of the Dashi Guards will reach 30-40%.
It was a terrifying, hellish sight
If 30 to 40 percent of the comrades are killed or injured in every battle, then for the soldiers of the army, it will definitely cause everyone to feel insecure and panic, and lead to the collapse of the army's morale. No one can fight in the face of such a thick life crisis.
Soldiers fight desperately to survive, not to die.
Even if the New Moon Sect monks have faith and are fanatical and willing to dedicate their lives to the true God, it is only to get more wealth and a better life experience-at the level of Qi training monks, no one is stupid.
One or two battles can be fought like this, even if 90% of them are killed or injured, it doesn't matter.
But if this kind of battle is always going on, before the battle starts, everyone knows that every battle in the future will have a half chance of dying; If 10% of the soldiers are killed or wounded every day, then no army can persist.
The army needs to win, the soldiers need to survive - the confidence.
If this cannot be done, the casualties cannot be so great.
So after the troops were withdrawn, the first thing Mu Lun said to the Dashi Guards was, "The Tang army can't last long. As long as we fight with all our strength, they will be defeated by us!"
At almost the same time, Li Ye also said similar things to the Tiger Guards.
After comforting and boosting morale, Mullen walked aside alone and asked the true god how to fight the next battle.
Li Ye received a military report from Axiu City after the soldiers of the Tiger Guards returned to camp to rest and heal their injuries.
Chen Qinglin's Habayashi Army fought against the Dashi Guards there today, and the battle situation was similar to that of the Tiger Guards. The Habayashi Army and the Tiger Guard Army were comparable in combat strength, and they had similar records, which was also expected by Li Ye.
"Today, more than a thousand soldiers were lost, which can be described as heavy casualties." Zhao Polu bowed down on one knee in front of Li Ye and apologized, "I have failed to break through the battle formation of the Dashi Guards, and I have betrayed Your Majesty's trust. Please punish me!"
He is the chief general of the Tiger Guard Army, and he has the realm of a famous military strategist. In his own opinion, he failed to tear through the formation of the Dashi Guards and created opportunities to defeat the enemy. dereliction of duty.
In the case of not defeating the enemy, there will always be a tiger guard army of only 100,000 people, which will lose more than a thousand soldiers in a day, and it will make his heart feel bleeding.
In an ordinary battle with an army of 100,000, hundreds of people will be killed or injured in a day, which is a normal standard. As long as there is no defeat, there will not be thousands of casualties. If thousands of people are hacked and killed every day, after ten days and a half months of fighting, there will be no one in the army.
In the era of cold weapons, millions of armies fought each other for half a year, and hundreds of thousands of armies fought for more than a month. It was said that the momentum was huge, but if one side was not defeated, the loss would be tens of thousands at most.
Li Ye helped Zhao Polu up, and said indifferently: "I haven't paid attention to this casualty, let's fight again tomorrow!"
The war between monk armies is no longer a war of cold weapons, but because the monks have stronger defenses and are not so easy to die, the casualties are quite small.
According to Li Ye's experience on Earth, there would have been corpses everywhere in today's battle. After all, on the earth, although the "technical artifacts" in everyone's hands are powerful, the warriors are too weak.
The Dashi Guards set up camp in front of Hulun City. Because they are Qi training monks, they moved very quickly, and the Tiger Guards didn't have an opportunity to take advantage of it.
For the next three days, the two armies fought fiercely in front of Hulun City, from sunrise to sunset every day.
The Dashi Guards are eager to win, and the battle situation is similar to the first day. The Tiger Guards' Modao formation and the Bingjia battle formation will appear on time every day, and the black-robed ghost-faced monks in the Dashi Guards will also meet them in due course. .
However, with the experience of the first day, the battle casualties on the second day were much smaller. What kind of means does the opponent have? Now everyone has a countermeasure and will not be suddenly hit.
In these three days of fierce fighting, there were fewer casualties in one day than in one day.
But on the last day, many monks of the Dashi Guards still died in battle.
On the fifth day, the Dashi Guards still attacked, but the offensive was not as good as the previous few days. The Tiger Guards still focused on defense and counterattacked at the right time, but the strength of the soldiers was not as good as before. After a whole day, there were less than a thousand corpses on the battlefield.
After this day, the two armies rested for a day.
Then there was fierce fighting.
On the tenth day, the attack of the Dashi Guards seemed to be perfunctory, and the spirit was seriously lacking. Everyone brandished their weapons in front of the large shield and spear formation, and there was no desire to fight hard at all. mean. The situation of the Tiger Guards is slightly better. After all, they are the defenders, but it is not easy to counterattack.
There was no way, the Dashi Guards stopped attacking again the next day, and began to rest again.
This time, they did not play for three consecutive days.
Standing at the head of Hulun City, Li Ye said to King Qi beside him, "The battle in the south of the Seven Rivers Basin has completely reached a stalemate. Both armies are exhausted. Although the Tiger Guards have the power to counterattack, they have no victories." .If there is no new force to join, and the two sides do not make mistakes, it will be difficult to tell the winner in the short term."
