The bloody dusk reflected the continuous majesty of Kopet Mountain, and the golden cry of withdrawing troops echoed in the mountains, and the soldiers retreated from the stone city like a tide. In the distance, a large flock of birds lingered, their voices were frightened and mournful, and they could not return to their nests.
In a certain camp of the Tang army, Li Ye looked at the setting sun gradually disappearing behind the mountain, his eyes were cloudy and uncertain.
Today is the thirty-fifth day since the army attacked the defense line of Mulu City. The Tiger Guard Army and Habayashi Army fought bravely. After paying a certain price of casualties, they captured Huoxun City and Huluo City as scheduled 25 days ago. Then the army moved forward in an all-round way, pulled out thirteen other fortresses on the periphery of Mulu City, and then began to storm Mulu City.
During this period, Mu Lun made several shots in an attempt to stop Tang Jun's offensive, and he did cause Tang Jun a lot of trouble. King Qi and Young Master Siming led the great monks. Although they could delay him for a while, they still couldn't really stop him after all. A large part of the casualties of the Chang'an Imperial Army were caused by him.
But this did not fundamentally slow down the Tang army's offensive pace, because Mullen didn't make many shots, and he didn't fight desperately.
After the Chang'an Forbidden Army returned to the army, Marlon couldn't help the army of famous generals. He also tried to massacre the big monks, but under the fierce attack on the city by the Chang'an Forbidden Army's towns, he had to turn around to help the Dashi army .
Mullen is alone, so his full-strength fight cannot last for a month.
The battle thus stalemate for a while.
Now, the Tiger Guard Army and Habayashi Army have been attacking Mulu City for seventeen days. There are still 120,000 Dashi Guards in the city. Relying on the fortified city and strict defensive offensive, it has caused a lot of trouble for the Tiger Guards and Habayashi Army some time ago, making the latter's progress slow.
But as the battle progressed, the bow and crossbow attacks of the Tiger Guards and Habayashi Army on Mulu City had already destroyed most of Mulu City's fortifications, and also caused heavy casualties to the Dashi Guards. Seeing that Mulu City has lost a lot of combat power, in today's battle, Mu Lun finally made a strong move after many days.
This time, Mu Lun did his best, so he also brought losses to the Tiger Guards and Habayashi Army far better than before.
"We can't stop him, and the real people have lost a lot. If today's battle continues for a few more days, the great cultivator will suffer heavy losses, and the Tiger Guard Army and the Habayashi Army will not be able to do anything." King Qi came to Li Ye's side, There was a blood stain on her shoulder, and it looked like the area was seriously injured.
Li Ye just nodded slightly, and did not comment on it. He was watching the situation of today's battle.
When the Huwei Army and Habayashi Army joined forces to attack the pass, the Guards had a hard time resisting it. When many city walls were captured, Ma Lun rushed out of the city, with swords flying across the city, countless monks from the imperial army died, and the Tiger Guards and Habayashi Army were forced to retreat.
King Qi and Young Master Siming led a team of elite real people to break through the mid-air battlefield where the great monks fought and went to stop Mu Lun. Although the three of them fought hard, they couldn't stop Ma Lun's sword light. Many real people were killed on the spot in a short while, and King Qi and the young master Si Ming were also in critical condition.
When the Tiger Guard Army and Habayashi Army basically formed their formations, King Qi and others retreated and withdrew from the battlefield. emission.
In the past, at such a time, Marlon would choose to retreat, but today, on the one hand, he did not have any scruples about the cannon. He was hit repeatedly and injured, and he had to lead the priests to chase King Qi and other big monks; On the other hand, he didn't care about the fortifications of the city wall, and went back with all the big monks to block the rain of crossbow arrows.
The result is self-evident, the great monks of Tang Dynasty suffered heavy losses, and the great monks of Dashi went forward bravely and devoted themselves to pursuing and fighting.
It's not good either.
But with Mullen around, the results of the Dashi monk far outweighed the losses. The French cannon can't make up for this gap.
"If Mullen continues to play in today's state, according to my calculations, after five days, our big monks will be unable to fight against the big monks in mid-air because of the heavy losses, and thus lose what you often say. A kind of air supremacy.
"At that time, without the blessing of the Great Cultivator, the offensive of the Habayashi Army and the Tiger Guard Army will not be able to maintain, and may even become dangerous."
Having said that, King Qi gave his own suggestion, "I think it's time for the Marine Army of the Lingnan Marine Division to join the battlefield. Without their echoes on the flanks, we can't open the gap. As long as they participate in the battle, no matter which side Mullen goes to deal with , the other can make progress.
"After all, the current Dashi guards are only enough to defend Mulu City, and they can't go anywhere. Although there are many Dashi standing troops, they can't cause any big troubles if they are restrained by Shangguan Qingcheng and Spike Army."
Li Ye naturally agreed with King Qi's analysis.
The current battle situation, in fact, was expected before the war started. The way to solve the problem is to let the Lingnan Marine Division's marine army join the battlefield and become the decisive force.
And now, the Lingnan Marine Division has arrived at the predetermined location and can launch an attack at any time.
"Order Yang Xingmi to launch an attack according to the plan!" Li Ye waved his hand and called the envoy to give the order.
The next day, the Tiger Guards and the Habayashi Army launched an attack on Mulu City as usual. At the same time, in Spitfire City, more than a hundred miles away, the 50,000 Lingnan Marine Division Marine Army, led by Yang Xingmi, also attacked Mulu City. Start the siege.
Li Ye still did not leave the barracks, and stood on a corner tower with a good view, looking at the army's crossbow arrows raining down on the city. Some of the fortifications that the opponent rushed to repair overnight did not last long before they were destroyed by the heavy crossbows of the Tiger Guards and Habayashi Army.
Then the army began to take over the city, and the big monks on both sides were also fighting fiercely in mid-air. The battle reached a critical stage-when the Tiger Guard Army and the Habayashi Army attacked the top of the city, a black column of smoke rose into the sky and rushed straight into the Tang army. In the formation of big monks.
It was Mullen.
Unlike before, this time Ma Lun did not manage the soldiers of the Tang army at the head of the city. Instead, he led a group of elite monks and marched bravely in the ranks of Tang army monks. His cultivation level is unmatched, except for King Qi and a few others, there is almost no single enemy under his command. The orderly and orderly formation of great monks was quickly torn apart by him.
King Qi and Young Master Siming shot out one after another, the sky was full of clouds, thousands of leaves were flying, and Bai Lian was like a dragon, attacking Ma Lun alternately back and forth, trying to have a restraining effect.
But today's Mu Lun is different from yesterday, his fighting spirit is more determined, he has no leeway to make a move, he doesn't care about the consumption of spiritual energy, and the sword lights are like hurricanes, stirring up the monks in the real world like fallen leaves, making Qi It was very difficult for Wang and others to resist.
Afterwards, he went so far as to bear the two leaf chains that flew a piece of flesh and blood on his body, severely injured King Qi with a single knife, and caused their character formation to collapse. Generally, they broke through the crowd of monks from the Great Tang Dynasty, and charged straight to Li Ye's position!
"Li Ye, I saw you!" Ma Lun's stern voice was like thunder, showing a decisive killing intent.
Now that Li Ye's cultivation is in the Immortal Realm, his mortal body's strength is no more than that of an ordinary real person, and he definitely can't take Ma Lun's move.

Li Ye's eyes sank slightly.
He never went out of the camp, but he didn't want to be exposed to Mullen's sight. He didn't expect to be found by the other party now. At this moment, how could Li Ye not be able to react? The few times Mu Lun played before,
He must have been looking for his aura and location, and today he finally locked it, so he blatantly killed him without leaving any room.
Ma Lun's cultivation is unchecked and balanced in the mortal world, which is the biggest threat to Tang Jun.
Because of this threat, Li Ye himself became Tang Jun's biggest weakness.
As long as Mu Lun finds Li Ye and kills him forcefully, the war will be different.
The big monks who guarded Li Ye in the camp lifted off one after another, and rushed towards Ma Lun desperately, but they fell from the air like leaves being blown away by a gust of wind.
Both King Qi and Young Master Si Ming had been seriously injured by Ma Lun, and basically lost their fighting power. No one among the monks present could stop Ma Lun.
Ma Lun had already arrived in front of the camp, and Li Ye, who could not escape and did not escape, entered his attack range. The big monks who followed up sporadically couldn't get close to him at all, even if they blocked him with their flesh and blood, they couldn't get Li Ye out of danger.
Li Ye didn't move, and stood upright.
"Li Ye, I just wanted to guard Mulu City for a few more days, but I didn't expect you to be so careless that I would notice your whereabouts. This is really a surprise, God bless you! Today, you can't escape!" Ma Lun Holding the long knife high, a strong look of madness and complacency appeared in his eyes.
Li Ye could not appear in the barracks, but that would only be more dangerous. Without the protection of the army and the great monks, no matter where he went, he would surely die if he was discovered by Maren. And if too many monks are assigned to protect him, it will undoubtedly greatly weaken the strength of the frontal battlefield.
Since Li Ye appeared near the battlefield, there was a possibility that Mu Lun might notice him.
The black air on Maren's long knife was like mist, covering the sky and the sun, and the surrounding wind was blowing, and the aura was like a blade, and even the air wailed like being torn apart.
This knife is cut down, it is bound to be earth-shattering.
Li Ye's face was like water, calm and calm.
Not the slightest emotion, not the slightest emotion.
...
Nisa City, the most important town in the northeast of Dashi, which is closest to Mulu City. The Crescent Sect monks and supplies gathered here will be the first to rush to the East Territory of Dashi, and deploy to the second line of defense that Mullen has set.
A few days ago, the chief priest of the Great Temple, who presided over the implementation of the recruitment order here, used the plan of "leading the snake out of the hole" to draw out some secret works of the Tang Dynasty.
Nearly a hundred monks from the Tang Dynasty sneaked into each of the three locations predicted by the New Moon Sect in the middle of the night, trying to burn the supplies hoarded inside. As a result, there were no surprises. The monks of the Tang Dynasty failed in their actions and were attacked by the New Moon Sect, causing heavy losses.
"Tang Chao's secret operations are very vigilant. We closed the siege quickly and moved very lightly, but as soon as we showed up, the other party realized that something was wrong and wanted to withdraw quickly. Fortunately, we have sufficient manpower and preparations. Tang Chao of the three warehouses Most of the monks were besieged by us on the spot, and less than 20% escaped... "
After hearing the report from his subordinates, the chief priest, Jia Liji, laughed with satisfaction.
In three locations, a total of more than 200 secret agents of the Tang Dynasty were killed, including many great monks. This is a notable gain. In previous operations, the New Moon Sect had never captured and killed so many Tang Dynasty spies in a single battle. It is conceivable that if the situation is reported to the Great Temple, he will definitely be rewarded heavily.
"Although some of the secret agents of the Tang Dynasty escaped, the casualties were so heavy that we have no ability to do anything else in the future. We can safely take the monks and supplies to the east. Of course, those secret agents of the Tang Dynasty also have to be tracked down and killed. This matter will be left to The Overwatch Council in the city." Galiji made arrangements.
Two days later, Garrigi set off from Nissa City with a large number of monks and supplies he had gathered, and headed towards the east at full speed.
