Chapter 37 In-depth
Li Ye looked at the scene of the fighting between the two armies in the river valley and was a little surprised for a moment.
This was the first time he had witnessed the power of the battle formations of famous military generals with his own eyes. In the past, he only knew that it was very strong and could not even break the Immortal Realm. Now that he actually saw it, he only knew what kind of beasts the battle formation led by famous military generals was for ordinary troops.
Quantity is meaningless at this moment.
Before the power of the famous general's battle formation is exhausted, any frontal resistance is futile. No matter how strict the battle formation defense is, it is just a bucket of broken window paper, and no matter how tall and strong a warrior is, it is just a dandelion that can be broken with one touch.
If there is no uniform military formation, they will not even have the qualifications to face famous generals and will not even have the strength to become the opponent's enemy. At most, they can be regarded as the mud and sand swept by the flood.
At first, the Khitan army lined up in the river valley could still fight with Shangguan Qingcheng's team, which was limited to weakening and consumed some of the power of the battle formation; but when their formation was broken through, the endless Khitan soldiers were left with the fate of falling into mud and crushing into dust, and they were chased and killed in the wilderness.
Such a military battle formation is unparalleled and such a beautiful and beautiful Shangguan made Li Ye feel dazzled and fascinated by it, and he naturally felt a sense of appreciation and admiration for heroes.
When she led Shangguan Qingcheng to fight in the past, Li Ye only thought she was a powerful general. Although she could break through the formation and kill the enemy in every battle, she often seemed nervous and difficult. When the opponent was strong, she would be surrounded by dangers. The blooming of the flower of victory was inevitable with the watering of a large amount of blood from her comrades.
But now, the 50,000 Khitan grain-raising army compared with Shangguan Qingcheng's battle formation soldiers, saying that they were local chickens and tiles and dogs were all lifted. The soldiers who were cut as melons and vegetables were treated as chopped and cut, and they didn't dare to turn around, and the chickens and dogs knew to bite people.
"Has Qingcheng grown to this level?" Yaowang led his troops to fight in the chaos army, just like Shangguan Qingcheng who came to the world, and Li Ye sighed a lot. This idea was actually a lot of extravagant and unreasonable. After all, the other party came out step by step.
But as the closest person Shangguan Qingcheng, in Li Ye's mind, he followed Shangguan Qingcheng, and Wu You arranged troops by using mud people to set up troops next to the locust tree in the lazy sunshine in the summer afternoon, is still vivid in my mind, as clear as yesterday.
Shangguan Qingcheng, wearing armor and holding a sharp-tongued figure in the royal palace, was so clear that it seemed to be touched.
The battle formation led by Shangguan Qingcheng in front of him had already given Li Ye a sense of indestructibility. At the beginning of this battle, Shangguan Qingcheng led the Wolf-fang army to attack, first defeating Dangxiang, and then defeating Shatuo. When facing a dozen times the enemy at Luoyankou, he could still kill countless enemies. At that time, the Wolf-fang army elite cavalry under her command should be so terrifying.
If you have such a warrior and such an elite force under your command, why worry about not be able to defeat a powerful enemy?
In the world, Shangguan Qingcheng and the Langya Army are the only ones. Not to mention that the five great princes in the past did not have such military strength, even Yelu Abaoji does not have such a strong player at present, Li Ye has to admit that this is his luck.
Although the elite cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army is gone, fortunately, Shangguan Qingcheng can still play on the battlefield.
This crisis of attacking the Tang Dynasty across the world, and the key point of finally breaking the deadlock or even winning is to fall on the young girl who depended on each other in the mansion of Prince An in the past.
Under the leadership of Shangguan Qingcheng, the Jingqi fighting efficiency is very high.
From dusk to dusk, in more than an hour, the Khitans in the river valley were not only basically defeated, but were also divided and surrounded by 30,000 elite cavalry. Surrounding the majority with a few people, such a battle scene is extremely rare, but the Khitan warriors who were slaughtered back and forth by the elite cavalry did not have the power to fight back.
There were many Khitan soldiers running around, but they could not be caught by the elite cavalry of the Tang army. The Khitan army, who escaped by chance from the hellish battlefield in the river valley, had less than 10% of them.
They were just behind, and after the battle broke out, they ran fast when they saw that the situation was not good, so they could temporarily save their lives when Shangguan Qingcheng was short of troops. As for the cattle and sheep food they raised, they naturally had no time to take away one.
Zhang Chang'an, Buchen and others, among this defeated army, followed the panicked Khitan soldiers around him and rode their horses to flee to Huairong in Guizhou. Compared to Juyongguan, Huairong City is closer to each other, and the defeated army instinctively moved closer to another place, hoping to save a life with the help of their companions.
Compared to the shock of the Khitan warriors, although Zhang Changan and others looked in fear, their eyes were much calmer. It was because it was already dark, and even the smart and powerful monks had no time to think about it, so no one asked them how dare they ride on horseback.
Looking up at the panicked horse team and the dark field ahead, Zhang Chang'an's eyes flashed with determination and excitement.
After all, he was born in a big family and had different visions and ambitions. He went to Chang'an Cultivation Academy for more than half a year. Although he is just a commander who commands 500 people, he has more or less aware of the overall situation of the war.
Zhang Changan knew very well what impact their attack on the Khitan grain raising team would have on the Khitan army. He understood more clearly that on the northern battlefield, the Khitans with three divisions were not easy to deal with, and what could their elite cavalry with more than 30,000 people do.
The three Khitan armies formed a three-legged staggering momentum, supporting the overall situation of the Khitan. If the Tang army wants to win the Khitan war, the first thing they have to do is to cut off one of the feet, and it cannot be the one in the Tanzhou direction in the middle, so as not to be besieged by the Khitan army from Guizhou and Pingzhou directions.
To destroy Yelu Xie Niechi's troops in Guizhou, sooner or later, the army will fight with the other side in Juyongguan and Huairong City.
Because of its strong strength and many masters in these two places, the Khitan army has been unable to effectively approach, infiltrate, and obtain the information they want, not to mention sending people deep into it and planning more things.
But in the Khitan army, there is still the power of Quanzhen Temple and Wukong Shimen.
Although compared with the Khitan army, this force is indeed very weak at present and is almost impossible to play any role, in Zhang Changan's eyes, it is not useless and cannot be used at all.
This time, taking advantage of Gesang's opportunity to adapt to the unexpected, he got involved in the Khitan army. This was something Zhang Chang'an wanted. What's more, there is still the ninth level monk of Warwick's Qi training that endorsed the letter, so there is no need to worry about ordinary Khitans making things difficult for him.
Life safety is guaranteed and action is free - after all, Warwick will not stare at him, the little slave, and with Gesang beside Warwick, Zhang Changan, the little slave is not something that ordinary people are willing to provoke for nothing.
Zhang Changan didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity. If he could follow the defeated troops to the Huairong Khitan camp, and then contact the believers in the army with Buchen, and cooperate with Shangguan Qingcheng, the Tang army in Huairong and Juyongguan, he might have the possibility of making achievements.
Of course, Zhang Changan knew that although he had a little bit of identity, he was not a Khitan after all, and he couldn't say anything well. The risk of exposure was very high, and he would definitely die if it was exposed. But he decided to take a try, after all, there was no need to rely on it.
The only problem is Gesan.
Zhang Changan was not worried that she would be rebellious, but that her own safety as a woman was actually not guaranteed when facing Warwick. To be fair, although Zhang Changan admired Gesang quite a bit, he did not have any love. In the face of the overall situation of war, he would not be reluctant to give in for a woman.
But the other party helped him a lot after all. When Warwick discovered it, he was quite willing to sacrifice himself to help. Even if the other party was to avenge his tribe, Zhang Changan didn't want to see any accidents on the other party.
He ran away from his horse and fled for life, so he naturally would not cherish his horse's strength and would not stop on the road. The next day, Zhang Chang'an followed the defeated troops to the Khitan military camp outside Huairong City.
On the front line of Guizhou, there were 600,000 Yelu Xie Niechi's army, of which 40 besieged Huairong City and 60 attacked Juyong Pass. The former was mostly conquered grassland tribe army, while the latter was centered on the direct soldiers of the eight Khitan tribes. The injured but not dead clan was the absolute elite among them.
Although the 50,000 grain-raising army was a dispersed operation on the grassland, the beginning and end were unified dispatch, half of which came from the Huairong Khitan camp.
The large army camp in front of Zhang Chang'an stretches for twenty or thirty miles, is vast and boundless, with great visual shock. There were originally nearly 200,000 soldiers.
As a strong man at the ninth level of Qi training, Warwick would naturally not die in the river valley battlefield as long as he did not want to die. However, although he successfully returned to the camp, the servants lost a lot, which made him feel very heartbroken.
Later, I found that Gesang and others who had just been conquered came with me, and I was a little surprised and relieved. The look of Gesang looked at Gesang, and I no longer just treated her as a toy.
If you can follow the defeated soldiers all the way back, you will have to be tough and have a certain sense of belonging to him, which made Warwick appreciate it very much. Of course he didn't know that this was all Zhang Chang'an, and Buchen "stole" it in it.
"Although the army was defeated when attacked, it was not my fault, and you would not be affected. Now I will ask someone to take you to rest. As long as you try your best to follow me in the future, you will not treat you badly."
After Warwick said these words, he followed several envoys to report to the attack on the army.
Although he did not have to bear the main responsibility for the army, his own people suffered a lot of losses. He was in a bad mood after returning and had no idea of having bad ideas about Gesang, which made Zhang Changan breathe a sigh of relief.
In this situation, as long as Gesang does not have any accidents in a short period of time, the battlefield situation will change and will be much safer in the future.
After entering the Khitan military camp, they were familiar with the situation during the day. At night, Zhang Chang'an and Buchen got together again.
