The sharp long arrow shot directly into Li Xuan's eyes, and Li Xuan was unmoved.

Suddenly, his gaze went over countless arrows and stared directly at Luo Yongjie under the city.

Looking at him is like looking at a dead man.

Four sword lights flashed in front of Li Xuan's eyes in an instant, and the long arrows were all cut down in an instant.

This time, nothing was missed.

The sword light fell, and Li Xuan's figure was already missing in place.

He had already retreated to the rear, his eyes crossed the city wall, and with the rain of arrows flying on the city wall, he looked towards Luo Yongjie.

Arrows rained down.

In an instant, countless long arrows with the aura of death had all fallen on the heads of the Tianyin Sect archers.

More than a dozen round shields suddenly wrapped around the back, and in an instant they were shrouded over the heads of those archers.

Overlapping each other, like a semicircular ball, enveloping almost all the archers while spinning constantly.

"Ding, ding, ding!" Dozens of long arrows almost all hit the round shield, but immediately after, many of them were bounced.

A long, straight arrow went straight through the gap in the round shield, directly from the shoulder blade of an archer, and into the henchman.

The figure fell to the ground silently, blood flowing from his mouth straight into the dirt.

One by one, big feet stepped over the face of the fallen figure, and quickly withdrew from the range of the long arrow.

The long arrows in mid-air disappeared without a trace in an instant.

But the corpses that were already lying on the ground were already lying on the ground, and the pungent smell of blood filled the tip of everyone's nose, and no one could avoid it.

……

On the city wall, Yan Tao, who saw this scene, suddenly looked at Luo Yongjie coldly and said in a low voice: "This person has been to the Western Regions. ”

Li Xuan glanced at Yan Tao in surprise, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded in approval: "Indeed, judging by his age, he should have participated in the second war against the Turks, that is, the battle for the destruction of the Western Turks, and then returned to the Tianyin Sect and participated in the Tianyin Sect uprising that year. ”

After a slight pause, Li Xuan's face was solemn: "This kind of round shield array can only be used so skillfully by people who have fought on the battlefield in the Western Regions." ”

The round shield array looks simple, and it is even recorded in every military book, but if you don't have enough battlefield experience, you will only end up dying.

Luo Yongjie's round shield array is so tight, only those who have been on the battlefield can train it, and only those who have been on the battlefield can train it.

Luo Yongjie can become the hall master of the Muzhou Jiande Branch of the Tianyin Sect, and he is an absolute confidant of the Tianyin Sect, and he must have participated in the incident twenty years ago.

participated in the Tianyin Sect uprising that year, so the subsequent war against Goguryeo would definitely not have him.

Therefore, the only chance for him to participate in the war was to face the Western Turkic War in his early years.

This kind of battlefield fighting veteran is not easy to deal with.

"I'm afraid there are a lot of such people in the Tianyin Sect, if they are all soldiers trained like this, I'll be in trouble!" Zhou Shen watched the Tianyin Sect members gradually gather in the distance and retreat to the dense forest two miles away, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"But there shouldn't be much, if there were, I'm afraid it would have died long ago." Li Xuan shook his head and said thoughtfully: "Those people below seem to be proficient in the use of the Circular Shield Array, but in fact they have not participated in much actual combat, and now they are just strains without much pressure, and once the pressure is applied, they will immediately collapse." ”

Li Xuan's right hand was pressed on the eight-sided Han sword, but his expression was very determined.

He had already seen through the true details of these soldiers of the Tianyin Sect.

That is, they have a lot of training, but they are seriously inexperienced in real combat combat.

If they are allowed to deal with the soldiers of various states and counties, then they will naturally not fall behind, and they will even be able to gain the upper hand in front of some states and counties with lax armaments, but in front of these soldiers under Li Xuan, it is not enough.

Just like Zhou Shen, many of him and his team of government soldiers had participated in the battle to destroy Goguryeo.

Bloodstained and unblooded, on the battlefield and not, on the battlefield and on the battlefield, are completely different things.

"However, this shield array technique is very practical in such a narrow terrain...... Captain Yan, transfer a batch of round shields from Lanxi, maybe at some point, we will have to fight with others head-on. Li Xuan's words suddenly changed, and everyone present suddenly froze.

"The subordinate obeys the order!" Yan Tao immediately agreed.

Li Xuan looked up at the sky and said lightly: "Wait, it won't be long before they attack again...... Feng joined the army, remember to send the water up in time, the weather is quite hot. ”

The weather was quite hot, and even the people of the Tianyin Sect had retreated two miles away.

Li Xuan looked at everything on the other side, and now it depends on when Luo Yongjie will attack next.

Because within these two miles, all the trees have been cut down by Li Xuan, and even all the water sources within ten miles have been destroyed by Li Xuan's people.

Luo Yongjie can either lead people to retreat, or he can only grit his teeth and attack.

Transporting water from the rear, thousands of people, will only be a drop in the bucket.

"Whoa!" The people present surrendered their promises at the same time, and they had already vaguely seen the ending of Luo Yongjie and the others.

……

Luo Yongjie took out the water bag, took a sip of it, and then drank all the remaining water in the bag in one gulp.

"Luoshan." Luo Yongjie glanced sideways, and his righteous son Luo Shan immediately handed over the water bag in his hand, Luo Yongjie took a big sip again, and asked, "How is it, how much water do you have!" ”

"Not much." Luo Shan said a few words simply, and then said with a worried face: "Father-in-law, if we don't lead people to withdraw first, Meiling Pass is well guarded, if it is attacked, the casualties of the brothers will be serious." ”

"You don't understand, the art of war is cloudy, one drum and then three times exhausted, if you can't take Meiling Pass today, after that, we won't have much chance, don't forget that we set off this time, we didn't bring siege equipment at all, and there are not even a few craftsmen." Speaking of this, Luo Yongjie gritted his teeth and said: "The set of strong walls and clear fields was actually used on Lao Tzu. ”

The cottages where you stop on the road, the water sources around you, and the nearby villages are all cleaned.

Isn't this set just in the clear field of the strong wall?

At this time, Luo Yongjie already felt Li Xuan's trickiness.

He originally thought that the other party was just a fledgling cub who relied on some intrigue to win Meiling Pass, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

These old shameless bastards on the battlefield can only use the means, and he uses them, and he doesn't even care about them at all.

"Luoshan, you personally take people back to the camp and transport the collected water bags over, Lao Tzu wants to see who can consume whom." Although Luo Yongjie is not that kind of famous general, his years of battlefield experience also allow him to have his own set of things, and it is not easy to easily clean him up.

Although the camp at the back was miles away, it happened to be right next to the water source, and it was not difficult to transport the water over at all.

……

With a "snap", a water bag was thrown to the ground.

Luo Yongjie waved his hand vigorously and said scoldingly: "What's going on, I've drunk so much water, why is it getting hotter and hotter." ”

Luo Shan's face on the side was also a little ugly, and he felt that he was very thirsty, not to mention Luo Yongjie.

This is true of almost all the soldiers here.

Obviously, everyone had already drunk a lot of water, but it was like they hadn't drunk much, and after a while, they became more and more thirsty.

"Maybe it's because it's too hot." Luo Shan forcibly explained two sentences.

Luo Yongjie immediately waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and urge the water to come up, and in addition, hurry up and build more shields." ”

Without sufficiently skilled craftsmen, it is simply not practical to build trebuchets.

Even if it is forcibly built, the range and power are not much higher.

But it's easy to build a shield out of wood, and even if it's not as strong, it's not hard to storm a city.

"And battering rams!" Luo Yongjie gritted his teeth and said: "Smash the city gate with a battering ram, you can also kill him." ”

I don't know why, the anger in Luo Yongjie's heart is getting bigger and bigger, and his hatred for Li Xuan is getting deeper and deeper.

Turning his head, Luo Yongjie saw Luo Chuan's corpse on the mountain road at a glance.

Even now, he has not snatched Luo Chuan's body back.

In an instant, the hatred in Luo Yongjie's heart was even worse.

……

The sun is gradually turning westward.

On the city wall, Li Xuan calmly looked at the dense forest in the distance, where a faint sound of restlessness came.

Compared to the solemnity on the city wall, the opposite side is like a vegetable market at all.

"They're going to lose their breath!" Li Xuan couldn't help but speak, and the corners of her mouth showed a trace of disdain.

"What the prince said is very true, although this Luo Yongjie has fought on the battlefield, he doesn't know the way of commander at all." Zhou Shen in the back couldn't help but shake his head.

"What do you mean?" Feng Hua was a little confused.

"When it's too hot, you get thirstier the more you drink water, especially when you're upset." Zhou Shen turned sideways, looked at the countless soldiers on his side, and said softly: "Those people outside, their water sources are far away, and they know that the water supply is insufficient, but they have to drink water when it's hot, and they are irritable, so they will only get more and more thirsty, and most importantly, in this case, their stamina will be reduced." ”

When endurance decreases, it naturally decreases combat effectiveness.

"We are different, we know that we will have countless water supplies at any time, so we are not in a hurry, and we are also restrained in our hydration."

Li Xuan turned to look at the growing enemy movement in the dense forest, and said softly: "If it was dusk before, he would take the initiative to withdraw and find a place to rest and come back tomorrow, but it was noon before, how could there be a day for the soldiers to rest, so only by holding on until now, dusk and sunset, they will launch the last wave of offensive, as for after that, it will be a matter of night fighting, so ......"

Li Xuan turned sideways, looked at Qiu Zhenmu, Li Zhu, Zhou Shen, Yan Tao, Wang Qin and Feng Hua, and said in a deep voice: "Tell everyone that this king doesn't want to drag out the war until night, so next, this king will fight at dusk and completely cripple and kill them!" ”

"The subordinate obeys the order!" Everyone present agreed.

Li Xuan turned around slowly, and suddenly saw a wooden cart with a sharp giant tree tied to it, which was slowly pushed out in the direction of the city wall.

More than 20 soldiers guarded the wooden cart from both sides, pushed the wooden cart, and slowly came from the city gate.

Li Xuan's gaze crossed the wooden cart and fell directly into the dense forest behind him.

Ladders were pushed out one after another.

A pair of murderous eyes suddenly crashed into Li Xuan's line of sight.

Luo Yongjie.

Upstairs at the city gate, Li Xuan looked at him coldly.

A war, a battle to determine the winner.

A war is a matter of life and death.
