Chapter 288: Peerless General

"I think before this phantom fog clears, General Tuwan and they are afraid that it will be difficult to return to help. ”

When Li Shimin returned to the lookout, Li Xiaoji said with a wry smile: "According to Zhang Zhenjun, ordinary people in this phantom fog, even if they only stay for a moment, there is a risk of losing their minds and being confused. And high-level martial arts cultivation, although it can last longer than ordinary people, as long as it does not reach the third grade, it is limited. Marching in this fog is extremely risky. ”

"The Son of Heaven and General Yuwen must know this matter in their hearts. Those real people in front of the emperor must also be trying to find a way to crack it. ”

Li Shimin was also worried: "Actually, what I'm more worried about now is the technique of this 'Yin Kingdom Underworld Army'. ”

"The Netherworld?"

Li Xiaoji also sighed: "It's Xingyang, it's really a little tricky." ”

This is because of the place of Xingyang, where there are so many ancient battlefields that it is terrifying.

Not to mention the frequent wars before the Warring States and the Qin Dynasty. After the death of Qin, the armies of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were in Xingyang for two years, so that this place was named the Chu River and Han Realm. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xu Rong and Cao Cao's two armies also clashed here, and then during the Wuhu Rebellion and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the countries also used this place as a battlefield and repeatedly tug-of-war.

According to Li Xiaoji's estimate, there are 800,000 soldiers killed in the war here, even if there are not 1 million.

If they are unlucky, and there happens to be an ancient peerless general buried nearby, it will be a real tragedy.

"I guess the time they started should be after the evening,"

The eldest grandson Wuji, who had already taken care of the affairs of the battalion, had also returned to the lookout: "The night is full of gloomy qi, and the combat power of these skeletons and corpse soldiers is far from comparable to that of the daytime. ”

"I guess that's the same, so it's better to let the soldiers cultivate their spirit for now. ”

Li Shimin turned his head again and asked, "Mulberry, torches and realgar scatter, are they all ready?"

"The torches have been properly sharpened, but unfortunately there is not enough oil, and only 32,000 have been made, which should be enough until dawn tomorrow. As for the spurwood. Uncle Shunde is still taking people to process, and it is expected that it will be completed in an hour. We are more than anyone else, at least we don't have to go to logging now. ”

- Because when he set up camp before, Li Shimin had already cut down all the trees in the five miles in front of the camp and collected them in an open area of the camp and piled them up.

So they work with torches and wood, and it's easy.

In fact, Li Shimin has made a lot of these two things before. But since he knew that someone was casting the most top-notch necromancy, it didn't feel like it was enough.

"As for the realgar powder, Zhang Zhenjun is still configuring, but we don't bring much realgar. ”

The realgar they carried in the army, in addition to medicinal use, was mainly to prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants, where would they have thought that there would be such a thing as today.

Realgar is a thing that can restrain all evils, and it is second only to cinnabar to ward off evil spirits. But if there is no certain weight, then the effect is minimal.

"That's also something that can't be helpedβ€”"

Li Shimin shook his head, and then looked forward.

The next few people sat on this lookout until an hour and a half later, a layer of fine cold sweat gradually rose on the forehead of the eldest grandson Wuji.

It's not just him, it's almost everyone on this lookout.

It was only because there were more and more human and beast corpses and bones gathered ten miles in front of the camp, and when I looked from this place, I saw that the edge of the fog that covered the sky was full of black and oppressed dead heads.

And as night approached, there was a magnificent black aura, rushing into the sky, dyeing the surrounding mist black, as if it was painted with ink.

What's even more frightening is that in this army of dead people's bones, there are still some beast-shaped skeletons with unusually large bodies - if nothing else, this should be the bones left by those desolate beasts in ancient times.

"Right in front of our camp, there are more than 30,000. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji then looked in other directions: "I don't know what the situation is in other directions? I'm afraid the total should not exceed 250,000." ”

At this time, Li Shimin got up. The herald Xuanjiadu, as well as my own soldiers, all put on armor, and within half an hour, gather at the gate of the wall.

"Naoka-sama, what are you?"

Because he couldn't sit still, Tang Yuanhua, who returned to the lookout to watch, was not only shocked when he heard this: "Could it be that you want to lead the army to attack?"

"Exactly!"

Li Shimin did not shy away from saying: "The so-called opportunity cannot be lost, and it cannot be lost again, and now the ignorant soldiers on the opposite side can attack at this time, or they can slightly reduce the enemy's momentum, but also inspire the morale of the army." In addition to that, I also want to try the depth of these thieves. ”

After everyone was reminded, they found that the soldiers of the forbidden army guarding the wall in the distance were all tense their bodies.

Occasionally, some people turned their heads to look behind them, and most of them were pale and fearful.

- Even the elite cavalry of the steppe people can't make these forbidden troops so afraid. But this time, their opponents were a group of dead people.

If it had been 10 years ago, this would not have happened. At that time, on the battlefield, the secret art of the underworld was not uncommon. But most of these soldiers under Li Shimin's command are very young.

Tang Yuanhua's expression was slightly hesitant: "Do you need to notify the imperial camp?"

The main thing is that the camp they are in is too important. There are not only three royal grandsons, two princesses, and two foreign princes in the camp, but also guarding the rear flank of the royal camp.

And the Xuanjiadu under Li Shimin's command is also very worrisome, which makes people feel at ease.

At this time, the best way to deal with the enemy is not to defend the wall?

However, in view of Li Shimin's past achievements, Tang Yuanhua did not have any doubts in his words, and the reason why he asked this was only out of prudence.

"I thought there was no need for this, and both the Son of Heaven and General Yuwen gave me the right to arbitrarily. However, if Grandpa Tang is not at ease, he can also let people say goodbye. ”

Li Shimin summoned a Yu Lang who was about to pass on his life: "Tell the soldiers of the Xuanjia Capital that the hammers and maces used in this battle are more useful than swords." ”

At this time, the practice of the eldest grandson Wuji for more than a month has initially shown results.

In less than half a moment, the Xuanjia capital of 1,000 iron cavalry plus Li Shimin's 150 pro-troops were all concentrated outside the walled gate, and according to Li Shimin's military orders, they formed a sharp array.

At this time, Li Shimin also put on his newly obtained king-level battle armor 'Heavenly Thunder Shadow', rode on His Majesty's newly gifted sweat and blood dragon horse 'Shine Night Lion', and slowly came to the front of this sharp arrow.

He didn't wait for the envoy sent by Tang Yuanhua to the imperial camp to bring back the reply of the Son of Heaven and General Yuwen, so he directly ordered the gate of the village to be opened.

"Lao asks Grandpa Tang and Sixth Uncle to sit for me!"

Li Shimin bowed his hand slightly towards Tang Yuanhua and the others, and the more than 1,000 riders suddenly stepped on a thunderous sound, like a black tide, rushing out of the gate of the village. The thousands of iron hooves struck the ground, causing the earth under everyone's feet to shake endlessly, as if it were an earthquake.

And it wasn't until this thousand iron horsemen rushed out three miles away that Tang Yuanhua waited for news from the imperial camp.

The courage of Xuanjia, I am very goodβ€”β€”

After Tang Yuanhua saw it, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart meant to the Son of Heaven, he should agree, right?

The more than 1,000 iron horsemen led by Li Shimin cherished horsepower at the beginning, but they only walked slowly and unhurriedly. It wasn't until he approached the 'army of corpses and bones' less than two miles before Li Shimin suddenly opened his hand, and the sharp arrow array changed instantly, and the fan surface opened slightly to both sides, and at the same time began to accelerate.

After a short gallop, the entire array of arrows crashed into the army of bones like a lightning bolt.

What happened next was completely devastating. These 1,150 mounted iron horses, which were arranged like a wall and weighed more than 20 stones, had already lifted all those skeletons into the air and trampled them into powder by relying only on the impact of the galloping horses! The hammers and maces in their hands could shatter the skeletons around them with just one blow.

It was like a burst of the levee, a black flood spreading, sweeping, sweeping, and breaking everythingβ€”

In the process of impact, they hardly encountered any decent opponents, and even the bones of those huge desolate beasts did not cause them any trouble.

Li Shimin's own strength is very strong, even if he can't go all out, with his current 'three products' cultivation, Lei Zhi's true intention, plus the king-level battle armor, is enough to become a killing weapon on the battlefield.

Only he was not too familiar with the battle armor of 'Heavenly Thunder Shadow', and he couldn't exert ten percent of his strength.

But even so, he could easily dispose of these desolate beast bones. In fact, none of the bones of a desolate beast could resist even a single blow from him.

And the one hundred and fifty pro-army behind Li Shimin is even more fierce and weightless. The cultivation of the seven grades of the whole army, the captain-level cavalry armor, and the skillful battle formation, so that there is no enemy in front of them that cannot be broken.

And under the leadership of this 'arrow', more than a thousand monsters armed to the minions only knew how to move forward and forward, until there was no more obstacle in front of them.

In just a short moment, a huge gap had already appeared in the central part of this corpse army.

Tang Yuanhua looked at it from afar, and saw that there were 7,000 skeletons and corpse soldiers, trampled into broken bones and mud by this thousand iron horses! Except for the three of them who accidentally fell off their horses during the impact, almost none of them were damaged.

And then Li Shimin, commanding the thousand iron horses, completed a rotation and change of direction in the thick fog, and once again bit into the rear of the corpse army.

- Strictly speaking, Li Shimin's Xuanjia was extremely reluctant when it was changing direction. In the eyes of the soldiers, it is simply unsightly.

It can be used to deal with these slow skeleton corpses, which is enough. Seeing that what will happen next will be another one-sided massacre.

Chapter 289: Great Trouble in the Army

At this moment, Li Shimin didn't know what it was, just when he rode and galloped, leading his own Xuanjiadu, and crashed into the 'enemy formation' again. In the imperial tent of the Chinese army, Yang Guang, the Son of Heaven, and his ministers were looking at the prospect of the thousand cavalry charging through a huge silver mirror.

When Li Shimin led more than a thousand black-armored knights, he once again smashed and crushed those skeleton corpse troops. Yang Guang, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly let out a cold snort of dissatisfaction.

"Most of the people such as Qier are from Kansai Jiangmen, and several of them are also known as famous generals, but at this time, they are not as decisive as a teenager. ”

In the imperial tent, except for Yu Wenshi and Xue Shixiong, the rest of the people couldn't help but show embarrassment on their faces.

Li Yuan was also embarrassed, although Yang Guang's words praised his second son, but at the same time, he also put Li Shimin on the fire, he immediately came out of the crowd and bowed to Yang Guang.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are also on the safe side. Li Shimin only has a thousand horsemen under his command, and even if he is in danger after the attack, it will not affect the overall situation. But the safety of the Chinese army is in danger when the situation of the enemy is unknown, and we must not take risks to attack!"

Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also bowed down: "Your Majesty, as Tang Guogong said, at this time, it is still necessary to be safe." With 5,000 iron cavalry in hand, His Majesty can advance and retreat freely, but if the Xiao Cavalry Guards have any case, I'm afraid that we may not even be able to hold on. ”

When Yang Guang heard this, he pursed his lips with disdain: "Okay! I see that you guys, the higher the official rank, the less courage you have." ”

He then withdrew his gaze from the silver mirror: "Wang Chonggu, have you found anyone?"

"Your Majesty, the other party is clearly prepared, and the array is extremely tightly hidden. ”

Wang Chonggu's eyebrows furrowed: "Before the incident, the manpower of our embroidered guards was almost all over the area of this imperial garden, but we have not been able to detect any abnormality. And now that the fog is thick, if you want to search for the location of this altar again, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult. ”

In fact, not only the embroidered guards, but also the forbidden troops who had settled here in advance before the arrival of the imperial car, had also 'plowed' more than once in this imperial garden, but they did not find any clues.

But when Yang Guang heard this, his face gradually turned cold. Wang Chonggu suddenly sensed, and cold sweat suddenly overflowed on his forehead.

"The plan now is to wait for a few True Monarch Dharma Masters to discern the spiritual recognition machine and see if they can sense the direction of the array. In addition, the slave maid can also be sure that the one who shot this time must be the Nan Chen Guoshi, Chen Taiwei Chen Tianshi. ”

After hearing this, the ministers present immediately looked at each other, and their eyes flashed with horror.

Chen Taiwei's name can be said to be known to everyone here. In the past, the confrontation between the North and the South was the most feared by the Great Sui monarchs and ministers. That superbly worldly water system spell almost turned the Yangtze River into a moat, and almost all the boards on the north bank were difficult to get into the water.

It was not until the battle to destroy Chen that the first emperor summoned two great masters of magic, including Yang Su, and three divine generals to join forces, and laid out a heavy blow to Chen Taiwei, which enabled the Northern Dynasty army to cross the river.

But among the rumors, hasn't this Chen Tianshi been dead for a long time?

"Mrs. Chen?"

After Yang Guang heard this name, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and the green tendons on his wrists burst out: "This old thing, isn't it already sitting in the nineteenth year of the emperor?"

"The slave doesn't know the exact situation. ”

Wang Chonggu shook his head: "The one who confirmed Chen Taiwei's death before was the former embroidery ambassador Sikong Wuji. I think either this one has something to hide, or this one has also been hidden by Mrs. Chen. ”

"Sure enough, it's an old dog who can't be raised!"

After Yang Guang scolded for a while, he asked again: "Is there a reply from the White Horse Temple and the Balcony Palace?"

The Balcony Palace is located in Wangwu Mountain, which is the first cave heaven of Taoism, and now Sikong Ci, one of the seven great masters of magic, practices here.

"No reply yet!"

Wang Chonggu's face was condensed: "With the slave and maid guessing, the worst possibility is that our messenger runes have been intercepted." Now we can only hope for the Yuan manager. In charge, his old man's Taoism is all over the sky, or he can be shocked by the changes in this place. ”

"I expected that to be the case. ”

Yang Guang didn't get angry this time, but said lightly: "Tell a few True Monarch Dharma Masters and let them give me more snacks." The Zoroastrian altar Venerable Jurodotus is very profound, and I am very happy with it, and when I have to, I will not hesitate to be a national teacher. ”

Wang Chonggu understood that the Son of Heaven actually didn't treat Cyrodotle very well, but this did not prevent the Son of Heaven from using this person to threaten the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism.

After that, Yang Guang looked at the ministers again: "Do the ministers still have suggestions?"

"With the will of the minister, it should be unchanged to respond to all changes!"

Yang Xuangan was the first to speak: "The 32,000 forbidden army here is strange, the camp is stable, and it is supported by the magic circle! Even if there are 100,000 troops attacking day and night, it will be difficult to shake. The illusionary fog technique will not last. When the fog disappears and the forbidden armies of all departments return to help, the technique of the 'Yin Kingdom Underworld Army' will not become a big disaster. ”

"As Chu Guogong said!"

Nayan Su Wei also raised his sleeves and said: "Your Majesty, the so-called strange is not strange, and its blame is self-defeating." If those wolf ambitions really had the strength to shake the royal car, they would not have to use so many intrigues. There are hundreds of thousands of troops surrounding here, and no matter how powerful these rebels are, it is impossible for them to conjure up tens of thousands of rebels here. Therefore, as long as His Majesty can calm down, the ministers will inevitably retreat from those ghost tricks. ”

Yu Shiji, the waiter of the internal history, was thoughtful: "Actually, in the final analysis, it is still that Chen Tianshi. Just find the position of the array altar and everything can be solved. And if you think about it, since the ground where the array altar is located cannot be found, then what is it like in the sky, what is it like in the ground, what is it like in the water?"

"That's a great thing!"

Yang Guang reacted calmly to Su Wei and Yang Xuangan's words, and it wasn't until Yu Shiji's words that his eyes lit up slightly: "Wang Chonggu, do you understand?"

Wang Chonggu was also in the same spirits: "Slave maid, let people start to investigate in detail!"

In the water and underground, the embroidered guards already have suspicions, but this 'heaven' is their blind spot.

Wang Chonggu had never thought of such a possibility before.

In addition, the minister was actually more worried about Xiao Wall. As the Duke of Chu and the Duke of Pi (Su Wei) said, even if the thief has the means to reach the sky, it is difficult to shake itβ€”β€”"

Yu Shiji was saying this, but suddenly frowned slightly and looked at the silver mirror.

This is due to the situation of the war over there, and there have been some changes. Before the thousand horses commanded by Li Shimin, there were suddenly about 3,000 skeletons, and suddenly the black aura around them was shrouded, as if they were armor covering their skeletons, and the bones were proliferated, and in their hands, a bone spear with a pole of two feet long was condensed, forming a dense gun array.

There were also dozens of desolate beast skeletons, their eyes suddenly revealing a red glow, and a large area of earth suddenly swept up from the ground, outside their shells, and quickly solidified, forming a layer of stone armor.

Yu Shiji is also proficient in magic, and his own cultivation is as high as the second grade, and at this time, he can't help but condense his eyes slightly: "This is, the Divine Corpse Soul Transformation? ”

This sentence made the vast majority of people here tense their nerves.

The technique of 'Yin Kingdom Underworld Army' has not appeared for more than a hundred years, and few people can use it except for a few great masters who have reached the pinnacle.

But the god corpse soul transformation is often used on the battlefield. Sorcerers who refine the secret art of the underworld will often summon the bones of those newly dead soldiers on the battlefield, and then cast the magic of the soul transformation of the corpse. It can often allow these corpse soldiers to gain strength and physique far beyond that of the living.

However, in their common sense, the secret technique of the underworld of Divine Soul Transformation can only strengthen one or twenty corpse soldiers at most.

As soon as they made a move, they blessed the body of three thousand corpses with the blessing of the 'Divine Evil Corpse Soul Transformation', which they had never heard of or seen.

Fortunately, the next moment, Yu Wenshu laughed, and his words were slightly praised: "This kid's riding skills are really good!"

Sure enough, in the next moment, a small half of the thousands of skeleton soldiers who protected their bodies were mercilessly smashed and smashed by these more than 1,000 iron horses.

The ministers present here are not known to everyone. Through the silver mirror that shows all the details of the battlefield, you can see a rough idea.

Li Shimin first made a gesture of wanting to break through to the left of the desolate beasts fifty paces away, but after attracting those corpse soldiers and shaking the overall gun formation slightly, this one led the one hundred and fifty cavalry under his command to complete the turn in an extremely narrow space of less than fifteen steps. And the horse lance in his hand brought a piece of electric light, like a sharp arrow, interspersed from the right.

When the outer layer of the gun forest was broken through, these corpse soldiers were crushed and trampled by the iron cavalry without any suspense!

The huge desolate beasts behind them also failed to play a role, and with the one hundred and fifty pro-troops behind Li Shimin, Qi Qi took out a short spear from his back and threw it. These desolate beasts, who seemed to know their amazing combat power, were all smashed into stone armor by the rain of spears that fell from the sky, and they were directly nailed to the ground, and then they were smashed into pieces by the horse lance that smashed over with that pole.

In this short moment, Li Shimin can be said to have undoubtedly demonstrated his personal martial bravery, intuition and judgment, as well as the courage and elite of the one hundred and fifty personal guards!

The invincible and unbreakable momentum also makes people feel shocked and their scalps numb.

"Good!"

Yang Guang couldn't help patting the armrest, and his face also had the same expression of appreciation: "Someone said to me before that Li Erlang is young and shallow, and he is short of thought, and he is probably not enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility of Wu Mengdu. I can see it today, in the current Great Sui Army, those who are above the third grade, and can match my thousand-mile horse in cavalry warfare, are only afraid that they are less than ten fingers. I remember that at the beginning, it was Yu Wenqing and Dong Qing who insisted on recommending him, right?"
