Chapter 125: Defeat like a mountain (1)
The sky is clear and the weather is rare before winter begins. Li Ye, standing on the Chang'an ship, looked down at the plateau with his hands behind his back. The mountains and rivers and cities are particularly clear. The busy teams are flying through the bustling teams and the ants are generally not aware of stopping.
The eldest son Siming floated behind him, silently like a person in the painting. The difference is that the eldest son Siming held his waist with one hand and did nothing to do. However, the young son Siming had a green firefly pounding his fingertips, and his eyebrows were also focused, and he was obviously polishing the technique.
King Qi stood beside Li Ye, with a wine glass and a wine pot in one hand, and was drinking happily. He was giving Li Ye a hint of joy from time to time, and sometimes laughing loudly, looking very energetic.
Everyone was in a good mood, so there was a reason. The news of Zhang Chang'an's successful operation was conveyed to Li Ye at the first time.
The recruitment team of 200,000 people in Mohad lost most of its personnel and supplies. Although there was still some force left, after the disaster, he had to rest on the spot, gather the fugitives and treat the injured, and could no longer continue to advance eastward.
In this battle, the Western Regions Commercial Bank concentrated all the main elites who could be dispatched, with nearly 2,000 monks participating in the action. Most of the 500 monks who had sneaked into the Great Food before were listed. There were still many people in cooperation with their peripheral forces, and they had careful planning and sufficient preparations. During the action, Saidianchi, the great insider, should help him, so he naturally succeeded in one fell swoop.
Now, Mullen's intention to build the 800-mile strategic depth in the East of Dashi has been declared a failure.
Mulu City was broken in advance, and the French-Man City defense line fell too quickly, and the purpose of delaying the Tang army was not achieved. The only third line of defense left is not complete because the preparation time was greatly shortened, not to mention that the materials recruited monks did not come in place as scheduled.
The third line of defense in the Dashi East Realm that exists in front of the Tang army is equivalent to a virtual standpoint and is just a manifestation.
"As long as we can break through this so-called third line of defense, the entire plateau will be left to us. Mullen will no longer have time, personnel and materials to gather quickly, which will cause substantial obstacles to us."
King Qi threw down the empty wine pot, his eyes were full of energy, and he said with regret: "I have been chased by Malen for so long, I can't kill it, but I can't win if I want to fight. Now, I can capture his country. I think when will he be able to be powerful!"
Li Ye took out a wine pot and handed it to King Qi. The other party is very talkative now and has drunk a lot of wine. He has been chatting all morning and has not stopped for a moment. Li Ye decided to let the other party drink more and he will be able to calm down after he gets drunk.
Looking at the mountains and city blocks on the ground again, Li Ye also had a smile on his lips.
At this time of the battle, there were countless corpses of soldiers left by Dashi in the East. The permanent army suffered heavy casualties and wounded, with very few remaining guards. In addition, the millions of monks who could be quickly recruited - the reserve army, also suffered countless losses. The entire Dashi could be said to have little combat power.
As long as you don't give Malen a thirty or fifty years, Dashi will not be able to calm down and restore its military strength. The current situation is destined that the Tang army will advance bravely and diligently and will not give the other party any extra time.
To this day, Li Ye has a deeper understanding of how different monk wars are from ordinary wars.
In ordinary wars, although being a spy in depth can play a significant role in the enemy, its combat power is actually very limited. It can only spy on intelligence, killing and damaging the enemy's army on the front battlefield.
However, in the war of cultivating civilization, the strength of the cultivator's personal strength has surpassed ordinary military weapons. When his cultivation reaches the level of the real person realm, he can even cross mountains and rivers and ignore the ordinary defense of local cities.
Therefore, an elite monk's power can play a great role, and if it is used more properly and can be cooperated by spies, it will be even more extraordinary and sufficient to influence the situation of war.
This is the difference caused by combat power relying on personal strength, not external weapons.
To understand the root of the truth, in the cultivation civilization, the key to determining the outcome of a war is which side has stronger cultivation or stronger power to deal with the strong.
Obviously, the Western Regions Commercial Bank has made this point to the fullest, and Mallen has not fully understood this.
Li Ye took out the tip of the Western Regions Commercial Bank and carefully browsed it again. Unconsciously, there was a hint of complexity between his eyebrows. In this tip, the Western Regions Commercial Bank reported the losses of several actions.
In Li Ye's opinion, that was a heartbreaking number.
All the staff of the Western Regions Commercial Bank are monks, and they are basically monks who practice Qi. The power of the monks in the entire Western Regions Commercial Bank is almost equivalent to a Tiger Guard Army.
They infiltrated Dashi for many years, and spent countless wealth and struggles during this period. Only then did they make friends or control many Dashi powers and officials, and in terms of their efforts, they were another Tiger Guard Army.
The five hundred monks who sneaked into the Great Food before the war and cooperated with their actions were even more powerful.
Under this circumstance, they have accumulated a lot of strength this time, gathered all the power they can use over the years, and launched an action against the conscript order. With the response of the front army, countless casualties and injuries, and the result is half successful and half failure.
"Let Yang Xingmi lead the fleet into the Arabian Gulf to meet the Western Regions' merchants who were withdrawing from the hinterland of Dashi." Li Ye turned around, recruited military envoys, and issued strict orders.
Every time the operation is carried out, the power of the Western Regions Commercial Bank will be exposed, because the task is very dynamic and involves a lot of things. Afterwards, the Supervision Bureau can always track down a lot of things.
Now, all tasks of the Western Regions Commercial Bank during the war have been completed. All those who should participate in the operation must lie dormant. If they cannot lie dormant, they must evacuate.
In the next few months, the Tang army would be invincible in the front, but in the hinterland of Dashi, the power of the Supervision Bureau still exists. They will inevitably bear Malen's anger and do their best to investigate the Western Regions Commercial Banks.
It is easy to withdraw the Western Regions Commercial Banks in the eastern part of Dashi. After all, they are very close to the Tang army, and as the Tang army advances, they can quickly get a support. However, it is not that easy to leave the Western Regions Commercial Banks in the hinterland of Dashi.
At this time, the Lingnan fleet needs to directly enter the Arabian Gulf and go to the near Susa City to pick up the opponent.
Fortunately, the navy of Dashi has basically been flattened by the Lingnan fleet, and its combat power is not much left. Although one or two hundred magic warships are enough to crush the bandits, there is no need to worry about how much trouble they can cause to the Lingnan fleet.
......
Fairyland.
The situation has changed drastically after dozens of days of war in the mortal world, but for the immortal army fighting in the fairyland, it is just two rushing formations.
The True God was fighting fiercely with Li Ye. The two of them were fighting in an equal manner. Even though they both took the strongest means, they could not do anything to each other and could only keep doing it.
Unexpectedly, Li Ye suddenly stabbed out with an unconventional sword move, and the speed was actually a little faster than before. In amazement, the real god quickly formed a qi shield with both hands to block it.
When both sides fought for a long time, they had a good understanding of each other's strength. The Qi shield formed by the True God should have successfully blocked Li Ye's sword, but when the sword energy touched the Qi shield, its power was even a little larger than before. It pierced the Qi shield in the flash, reaching the chest of the real god.
Unexpected changes made the true God’s heart tremble. He could only dodge his side in the crisis.
However, although this sword avoided the True God's movements were chaotic. Although it was only a short moment, it was enough for Li Ye to seize the opportunity. The Emperor's Sword turned into a twitch, and with a squeak, a touch of flesh and blood flew on the shoulder of the True God!
This sword seems ordinary, but when it reaches the level of True God and Li Ye, any blow carries the power of thunder, which is enough to break mountains and rivers, and it cannot be easily endured.
The true god was determined to grit his teeth and took the blow, taking advantage of the situation to punch Li Ye, but was hit by the spiritual energy on the Emperor's sword and was shocked to his body unstable and could only retreat.
He couldn't exchange injuries for injuries, but it was still easy to take the opportunity to open the distance. The true god retreated again and again until he pulled out a safe distance. Then he stared at Li Ye in surprise, "How could your cultivation suddenly increase so much?!"
As soon as this question was spoken, the true god's face became gloomy, because the answer was not difficult to obtain. When the two were evenly matched and neither of them broke through the space in the face of battle, the only thing that could enhance one side's strength was the mortal qi.
The immortals and mortals are one, and their auras are in harmony with each other. As the lord of the Immortal Realm, some changes in the mortal world will directly affect the two. In such a short time, the people under Li Ye's rule will not suddenly contribute a lot of luck to him. Even if they have conquered more power, it will take time to return to their hearts.
This means that it is not Li Ye who has become stronger, but the true god who has become weaker.
Dashi lost a large area of territory in the mortal world, and the local people also fell into the control of the Tang army. Zhen Shen, the lord of the Dashi Immortal Realm, thus his strength has decreased.
After the question of the True God was released, he felt it for a moment and discovered the fact that he had become weaker. He turned his mind to glance at the mortal world and immediately discovered a fact that made him feel heartbroken.
The eastern part of Dashi had fallen into the hands of the Tang army. Before the Battle of Mulucheng, all three lines of defense under Mallumbu were captured by the Tang army, and the strategic depth of the 800-mile area was completely gone!
"How could Mullen be defeated so quickly?" Zhen Shen was shocked, but he did not dare to look at it and think about it. He immediately focused his energy and faced Li Ye who was close to him. At this moment, the look of the True God looking at Li Ye had undergone a fundamental change.
This kind of change has happened once before.
Before the war broke out, the True God always thought that Dashi could easily defeat the Tang Dynasty and that He could quickly defeat Li Ye; after the war broke out, the situation of the war forced the True God to put aside his confidence and admit that the Tang Dynasty was extremely powerful, and that Li Ye was as powerful as His.
Now, due to the changes in the mortal war situation, Li Ye's strength is actually stronger than him, and He can no longer compete with Li Ye head-on.
If the battle situation in the mortal world cannot be stabilized and the Dashi is continuously captured by the Tang army, then the strength of the True God will continue to decline. In this case, the True God will become extremely afraid of seeing Li Ye's eyes.
