The Wolf Fang Army charged fiercely. Amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes, the earth trembled and yellow dust billowed. The 70,000 or 80,000 elite riders looked like Shuras who had crawled out of hell. Everyone's eyes were dark and murderous, as if they were vowing to crush mountains, rivers, and cities to the ground.
Facing such a Spike Army, the 60,000 remnants of the Guards certainly did not dare to be careless. While waiting for them, Ma Lun also stood in front of the formation again, with a stern face and a calm expression. As soon as the opponent arrived at the front of the formation, he used his unrivaled cultivation to block the iron hooves of the Spike Army.
By this time, the power of the True God in the guards had been exhausted, and the 60,000 monks could only rely on Mullen to fight against the Spike Army. The latter knows that he has a great relationship, so he dare not be careless.
However, when the Spike Army arrived at the front of the formation, it unexpectedly did not raise the power of the military formation. Instead, under the leadership of the front team, it turned a big corner and rushed forward along the parallel line of the Guards formation.
The soldiers of the front team of the Guards ate their noses of dust, but finally found that the Spike Army left without any plans to charge.
Mullen's face darkened.
Immediately afterwards, he saw that the Spike Army, after yelling around, returned to the battle formation of the Guards, three to five miles away, and stood up against them from a distance.
This distance is neither far nor close. If the guards attack, the Spike Army can retreat calmly, and if the Guards retreat, the Spike Army can easily rush in.
Mu Lun seemed to see the irritating and playful expressions on the faces of the Tang soldiers.
Faced with the scene in front of him, it was not difficult for Ma Lun to imagine Li Ye's plan. The other party didn't think they would fight to the death with them now, but they would definitely not let the 60,000 guards withdraw.
Mullen felt bad.
"Li Ye wants to spend time, so we will spend time with them!" Ma Lun issued a military order to the generals, ordering the 60,000 remnants to maintain their formation and continue to retreat westward. Fortunately, they are all monks, there are flying carpets under their feet, and the wasteland is also vast, so it is not difficult to do this.
If the Spike Army is about to charge, then stop.
The reason why he didn't stay where he was, waiting for the return of the 100,000 guards who had withdrawn earlier, was that Mullen also had his plan. He wanted the Spike Army to move, continue to consume energy, and slow down the recovery speed of the monk's aura. In this way, when the 100,000 fresh troops arrive, they will be full of energy and will have a great advantage.
As far as the current situation is concerned, this advantage is likely to be a victory.
In order to mobilize the Spike Army and let the opponent feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, so as to make more attempts to rush into the formation and consume more energy, Mullen let the Guards intentionally expose some flaws from time to time, making part of the formation slightly scattered.
"Mullon is a very clever fellow."
After several attempts to rush into the battle and failed to catch the guards' flaws, King Qi's eyes flashed a chill, and he said to Li Ye, "He doesn't want us to give up the pursuit either. Let's defeat our weary army together."
Li Ye pondered for a moment, "Let's slow down a bit, and we can't really give the other party a chance to surround us."

King Qi frowned, after all, he didn't say anything, and there was no better way now, the strength of the Spike Army hadn't recovered enough to quickly defeat the 60,000 guards.
Shangguan Qingcheng suddenly said: "Your Majesty, where is the Lingnan Sea Division now, and what is the situation?"
Hearing her ask this question, Li Ye had a smile in his eyes, and she was the first to react among the crowd, which was not what Li Ye expected.
King Qi was slightly puzzled and probing
In his eyes, Shangguan Qingcheng explained: "We are clinging to the 60,000 Guards. In fact, the danger we face is far greater than the possible gains. After all, the farther we go, the more troops we eat. And the 100,000 Guards The strange soldiers will definitely meet us before the Tiger Guards and Habayashi Army catch up. They are something we cannot deal with in the short term.
"The reason why His Majesty insists on chasing Mullen, I think, is because of other considerations."
King Qi nodded after hearing this. The Tiger Guards and Habayashi Army were chasing the Spike Army. The Hundred Thousand Guards turned around and they were coming. Naturally, they would arrive first, and they hadn't been withdrawn for too long. , the distance is not too far, so it will arrive a lot earlier.
"The Lingnan Marine Division has already met with the Dashi Fleet, and they are currently engaged in a fierce battle. If the next battle goes well, the Lingnan Fleet will not only be invincible at sea, but also quickly support the land. We can hold the Guards for a little longer. It will be easier to fight, and even seize the opportunity to win."
Li Ye didn't say anything more. Whether the Lingnan Sea Division can win or not is still unknown. After the battle of Dumoshui was over and Li Ye could be distracted, he used the eyes of the emperor to appear on the battleship of the Lingnan Navy, so he knew the battle situation there very well.
...
The Lingnan Sea Division Chang'an Ship, Li Ye, the incarnation of the Eye of the Emperor, was accompanied by Yang Xingmi, looking at the fierce battle scene in front of him, where the waves were turbulent, the aura was like smoke, thousands of sails were vying for the front, and thousands of people were fighting.
The Flying Fish battleship was fighting with the big magic-eater warship, you and me, especially the hundreds of ships in the front. Neither side had a clear formation or camp, and they were completely trapped. The situation where each ship is fighting on its own.
At this time, most of the crossbows on the two wings of the flying fish ships did not keep firing. Judging from the density and firing frequency of the bows and crossbows, there were four magic circles on each side, a total of eight magic circles, and only part of them were in operation most of the time. This is the requirement of the battle situation, and it may also be that some magic circles have been damaged. The Dashi monks are still very brave in combat.
The size and sturdiness of the big law-eater warships are comparable to those of the flying fish ships, and the number is slightly more. But the "firepower" of their bows and crossbows is not on the same level as that of flying fish ships. Not to mention the super powerful "heavy firepower" of bed crossbows, the number of ordinary crossbows is much smaller.
In this case, the big magic weapon warship is no match for the flying fish ship at all. If the two armies lined up and shot at each other from a distance, the outcome would have been decided long ago.
However, in the initial battle, Monchitaz saw the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, so as soon as the large magic vessel appeared, he forcibly rushed into the formation of flying fish ships, which prevented them from being beaten all the time.
Up to now, the Great Food Vessel has suffered numerous damages, several times that of the Flying Fish Ship. However, as the battle progressed, the monks on the Great Food Ship also understood the Flying Fish Ship's tactics to a certain extent, and made effective response.
In addition to the monks on the warships, jumping and fighting from all directions to avoid being shot and killed by the flying fish ship's crossbow, some magical warships saw that their own side was in a disadvantageous situation, and their hulls were severely damaged by the bed crossbow. flying fish ship.
This almost-to-be-killed battle method immediately received very good results. When the warships of both sides were damaged by violent collisions, the bow and crossbow circles on the flying fish ship did not have to avoid being affected. Both capsized and sank.
The Qi training monks of the two armies fought fiercely when the warship capsized, catching each other and fighting each other. Many soldiers did not hesitate to die with their opponents, some sank into the sea, and some retreated to their own warships nearby.
As a result, the casualties of the flying fish ship
increase.
This kind of battle scene made Yang Xingmi and Mengshitaz very heartbroken. The magical weapon warship was extremely precious, and it was really unacceptable to destroy it with such a reckless strategy. But Monhitaz did not order the big food warship, and abandoned this method of warfare. After all, if the ship does not collide, the big food will be at a disadvantage.
In comparison, Yang Xingmi was very annoyed. Flying fish ships had the advantage of bows and crossbows, so they would definitely win if they didn't collide with the ships.
However, right now he is unable to issue more military orders. The hundreds of ships in the front row, who are in a complete melee, are fighting on their own. Only by fighting to the end can we win the final victory.
It was also at this time that eighteen cruisers, together with the Flying Fish ships in the rear, met the big magic-eater ship that broke through and bypassed the melee battlefield.
Li Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.
The outcome will depend on the battle results of the cruisers.
If the Lingnan Marine Division can't defeat the enemy quickly, it will be in a desperate situation when the big food warship is surrounded on all sides and attacked from both inside and outside. Even if some warships can stand out from the encirclement, the battle will fail.
Monchitaz secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw various parts of the fleet approaching the designated position one after another.
"The warships of the Tang Dynasty are indeed extraordinary. They are not comparable to the opponents we encountered before. We can't effectively deal with their bows and crossbows, except for collisions. They swarmed up and used the method of ramming ships to restrict the sidestring bows of Tang Dynasty warships and create opportunities for monks to jump and fight."
Monchitaz recruited his lieutenant general and arranged for him his next tactics. The other party had just led a team to fight against the Flying Fish Ship, and was seriously injured, and was sent back by the big monk. If Monchitaz hadn't shot it himself, the other party might have been unable to get up and fell.
Hearing Monchitaz's words, the lieutenant was inexplicably surprised.
He said: "The sidestring crossbows of the warships of the Tang Dynasty are very powerful. Ordinary warships rushing up can indeed restrain them and buy time for the monks to jump and tie, but most of them must also suffer serious damage!
"After all, there were a lot of warships in the Tang Dynasty. In the end, we may not have many ordinary warships left, and the ordinary soldiers on them will even fall into the water because of the sinking of the warships... In this way, our army must There will be heavy losses. In the future, it will be very difficult to land in the east of the Tang Dynasty and quickly open up a battlefield to attack the city!"
Monchitaz glanced at him, his eyes were cold, and his suppressed anger showed signs of being uncontrollable.
This gaze made the lieutenant tremble, and he lowered his head and dared not speak any more.
The melancholy and bitterness in Monchitaz's heart can only be understood by himself.
"Before meeting the Tang Dynasty navy in front of me, I thought that our fleet was invincible, and I was even fortunate that we could solve the Tang Dynasty navy here early and clear the obstacles to landing in the east of the Tang Dynasty.
"However, the Tang army's warships are too powerful, and the tactics are so effective, we did not gain the upper hand, and we are still being led by the nose.
"The battle has developed to the current situation. We have no way to preserve our strength, and we don't have the energy to think about landing in the east of the Tang Dynasty in the future, because neither you nor I can guarantee victory. Right now, we can only win if we do our best. possible!"
After saying this, Monhitaz closed his eyes in pain, and took a deep breath to suppress the irritability and anger caused by the sudden huge gap in his heart. This kind of incompetent anger caused by not being strong enough, Monhitaz disdains to show it.
