Chapter 234: Lord Earl
"Is there an enemy army?" As soon as the news came out, everyone reacted differently.
Li Yuan was immediately excited, and he was about to lead people out regardless of it. Li Mingyang and they couldn't hide their joy, after all, they came here to find a war to fight, and now they are fighting three or five little minions every day, which is really boring to the extreme, only a big war can make it easier to get ahead.
The officer leading the team asked cautiously: "How many enemy troops are the large number, the exact number!"
"About two thousand, there should be Void Spirit Realm monks in the team. The sentry hurriedly replied.
"Two thousand people?" The officer leading the team looked even more nervous, although there were frequent battles near the bluestone mine, most of the time it was a small-scale battle, and this time it would naturally not be good to see that the other party sent so many people.
"Are they planning to take back the bluestone mines?" the officer in charge began to speculate again.
"What are you afraid of, what are they doing here, since they are here, don't go back, I'm worried that I can't find them to take revenge. Li Yuan looked confident, as if the two thousand Shu troops were all chickens and dogs.
The leading officer is very clear about Li Yuan's strength, and the name of "paper-general" can be said to be resounding throughout Xiliang County, because of Li Yuan's so-called tactical arrangement, I don't know how many monks in Xiliang County have been killed, but he has a brother who favors him to the extreme, and everyone can only dare to be angry. In the past, it was nothing more than to survive, but now there is an army of pressure not far away, and on paper, the general can't even come up with a formed tactic, and letting them follow Li Yuan to fight is completely suicide.
Thinking of this, the officer leading the team couldn't help but persuade: "My lord, our heroes don't suffer immediate losses, the other party's number is obviously superior, and it is not suitable to fight with them." It's better to withdraw first, and it's not too late to return to the mine station and join up with the 1,000 monks there. β
It had only been three days since they left the mine, and they had been stop-and-go until now, and if they returned at full speed, they would be able to get back in about half a day.
But Li Yuan's face was full of anger, and he asked coldly: "Why? Can't you trust my command? Just 1,000 more people than us is called an advantage in numbers? Don't you understand that war is not a fight between monks, as long as the tactics are appropriate, what kind of advantage is 1,000 more people?"
Listening to Li Yuan's "eloquent talk", Guo Yunshan wanted to block his mouth. War is not a battle between monks, but the opponent's strength is twice that of their own, if such a disadvantage can be ignored, then what can be considered a disadvantage.
"Didn't you just talk about that Li Mingyang, that kid can win more with less in every battle, why can't I be so much stronger than him?
Li Mingyang gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I agree with your point of view. β
"What's wrong, don't be afraid of Xiao Li, don't be nervous, follow me, the victory belongs to us." Hearing that Li Mingyang's voice was wrong, he thought he was afraid, and after Li Yuan comforted him very seriously, he led people directly to rush over despite the dissuasion of the leading officer.
Li Mingyang They all put away the heart of jokes, and set up the formation of the battle formation between the marches, the most basic six-mangged array they used, the six-mangrong array is commonly known as the snowflake array, this array is heavy on attack and weak defense, and the tacit understanding requirements for the arrangers are not too high, but the requirements for the personal strength of the monks are extremely high, this is a battle formation that can maximize the strength of the monks, and only the people with superior combat power can play the greatest power together, and it is for this reason that they choose the six-mangs array to cooperate.
Due to the sudden acceleration of the Xiliang army, the Shu army that was cautiously approaching was obviously a little caught off guard, and when Li Yuan led people to rush into their sight, the battle formation of the two thousand Shu army had not even been completed.
As soon as they saw the formation of these Shu troops, Li Mingyang and they felt that these Shu armies were a little different from the Shu army they encountered in the south, they were obviously not elite enough, although the cooperation of the battle formation was still the same, and the overall strength was not weak, but for Li Mingyang and those who had experienced several wars and even vicious battles, the threat to them from these Shu armies was too little and too little.
When he saw the Shu army, Li Yuan was already red-eyed, but at this time, he couldn't say any tactical arrangements, he could only stand in place and shout: "Give it to me, rush up and kill it for me." β
This is a general who likes war the most, but he is also a general who is most afraid of charging, the two armies are opposed, he can only shout to me, and hide behind the pro-soldier guards, and even don't forget to shout to Li Mingyang: "Xiao Li, you come to protect me." β
At this time, Li Mingyang naturally couldn't listen to his nonsense anymore, taking advantage of the fact that the Shu army's position was not stable and Xiliang County had also charged forward, Li Mingyang took out a heavy knife and said softly: "Follow me." β
This time they were all ready to converge their strength, although Li Mingyang didn't have to suppress the cultivation, but his battle body state was too amazing, so it was absolutely impossible to use it here, and the means of transforming the war knife naturally needed to be abandoned, so he could only choose a third-order heavy knife as a weapon.
Whether it was the Xiliang army that cooperated with them or the Shu army that rushed towards them, they were too weak for Li Mingyang, and this kind of battle of Cheng DΓΉ could not be compared with the time in the south, but at least it was good news.
The six-man battle array composed of six people was like a round of scimitars silently but bloodily inserted into the Shu army's camp, their attack method was always rotating, they hardly looked at whether there was an enemy on the opposite side, but just released their attacks at the most suitable time to shoot. Not to mention the power of the six-manggang array, it is impossible for the strength of the six of them to be dangerous in a battle of this scale.
Of course, if the six of them directly faced two thousand people, it would not be impossible to win, but they would also be greatly traumatized, but with the cooperation of the one thousand Xiliang army around them, which was not very strong, they would naturally be able to exert their maximum power. In fact, not long after the start of the war, they didn't suppress the cultivation much anymore, after all, in such a chaotic battle, it was impossible for anyone to pay attention to them forever.
It's sad to say, except for the one time they cooperated with the ghost army of the underworld, this is the best time they have an allied army, and the battle they have experienced before this time is not only strong and numerous, but their side is either ordinary people or only a few hundred poor monks, and there has even been a situation of isolation. So at this time, Li Mingyang and each of them killed very hard. With the cooperation of the Xiliang Army, Li Mingyang's role on the battlefield gradually shocked everyone.
Li Yuan was still hiding behind the officer leading the team, but after seeing Li Ming's appearance on the battlefield, he couldn't help but gradually stand up. At this time, in fact, all the Xiliang monks beside him all watched with wide eyes as they played on the battlefield.
In their opinion, in fact, it is impossible to win this battle, compared with the Xiliang army and the Shu army, there is actually no gap in personal strength and overall training, the Xiliang army is not worse than the Shu army, but it is definitely not as good as the Shu army, this battle is under the command of the "paper-general" Li Yuan, they really can't see the hope of winning.
But now, they were surprised to find that the development of things was completely different from what they expected, the rout of the Shu army seemed to be a little too incredible, and after careful observation, it was not difficult to find that the reason for the unusual rout of the Shu army was only because there was a group of terrifying killers in the war group. Li Mingyang's six-mang battle array formed by them exerted amazing lethality, as long as the Shu army entangled by them will definitely be killed by one blow, from a distance, they really look like a spinning scimitar, cutting the battle formation of the Shu army like cutting tofu, harvesting the lives of the Shu army.
"My lord, where did you find these strong men? After looking at it for a long time, he found that the Shu army had begun to show a trend of defeat and escape, and the leading officer asked very incomprehensibly.
Li Yuan also forgot to boast about himself this time, and just muttered: "Luckily, I happened to meet them, and then they followed." β
Not only Li Yuan was surprised, but now the Xiliang monks who were charging with Li Mingyang were also extremely shocked. Similar to Li Mingyang, these Xiliang troops are actually the first time to fight with such a strong general, although most of the generals in Xiliang County are also used to charging with their subordinates, but there are very few strong people like Li Mingyang and them who form a battle formation to lead the charge.
There are also many Void Spirit Realm powerhouses in the Shu army, but meeting them is like a child encountering a fierce beast, and they have seen with their own eyes that the Void Spirit Realm powerhouse of the Shu army was killed by them with a knife. In the past few days, these Xiliang monks have also noticed Li Mingyang and a few of them, but in the eyes of these Xiliang monks, they are just a group of soil buns from Nanban, even if they are good at cultivating, they are still a group of dirt buns with good cultivation.
But in this battle, they really have gained knowledge, a group of guys who they think are dirt buns, use the battle array to cooperate to exert their own strength to the extreme, six people have killed at least hundreds of monks, such a record is already quite terrifying, you must know that the monks on the battlefield are not individuals, every low-level monk is in the battle array.
Seeing that Li Mingyang still killed the defeated and fleeing Shu army, all the Xiliang monks were in great spirits, and immediately rushed up and beat the water dogs. It is not a new thing that the Xiliang army and the Shu army are incompatible, and it is naturally very cool to have the opportunity to kill the old opponent.
With Li Mingyang and their survival, the Shu army wanted to escape and became a luxury, and the final result was that the two thousand Shu troops were completely annihilated.
In the face of such a record, Rao is Li Yuan was also a little incoherent, in fact, this battle was completely launched by him on a whim, and he was also taken aback when he first saw the two thousand Shu army, otherwise he would not have hid in the rear. But in such a battle, the final result was that the opponent was completely annihilated, and the loss of the Xiliang army was only more than 300 people. Winning more with less is not even a pyrrhic victory, it is already an absolute victory.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan danced excitedly, hugged Li Mingyang's neck and laughed: "Xiao Li, Xiao Li, you are really my lucky general, you are very good in this battle, let's say, if you have any requirements, this viscount will definitely meet you." β
"I want a baron. Li Mingyang smirked and said bluntly.
Li Yuan's smile froze, and then he realized that he had said something big again, and then he could only persuade in a low voice: "Xiao Li, you can't be so unpursuing, what is so good about a baron, you will follow me in the future, I will promote you to be my chief of guard, several of you are my chief of guard, how domineering the chief of the guard is, there is everything by my side, there is nothing missing, why do you have to be a baron, and you don't have much territory and bother." β
"Haha. Li Mingyang smiled, scratched his head and said seriously: "I just want to be a baron." β
"You ......" Li Yuan's tone froze, and he wanted to reprimand a few words, but thinking of the few of them on the battlefield just now, Li Yuan still didn't have a seizure. Talent is hard to find, he doesn't want to just get a few capable thugs and force them away because of the problem of benefits, but he is only a viscount after all, and he can't afford to canonize a baron, which is the biggest problem.
But just when Li Yuan was at a loss, there was another rumbling sound of troops marching behind them. Li Mingyang was the first to sensitively capture this, and immediately he said in a puzzled stomach: "Is the border here so unpeaceful?"
Li Yuan and the others realized it later, and they all looked back nervously.
In a short time, a team of 3,000 monks came out of the dense forest. After seeing that the other party was also wearing Xiliangjun costumes, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm scared to death Lord Ben, why are my people so mysterious. Li Yuan wiped his sweat and commanded casually: "Go, ask who is leading the team on the other side, why did you come over quietly, I don't know if this place is very special, I don't know if it's scary." β
The officer leading the team patiently waited for Li Yuan to finish speaking, and then whispered cautiously and carefully: "My lord, the flag of Lord Earl is on the other side, and this is the Earl's troops. β
"My eldest brother's troops?" Li Yuan looked at the opposite side suspiciously, and only after seeing the flag in the team did he pat his thigh and said, "It turns out that it is really my eldest brother's troops." With that, he walked over.
Li Mingyang and they were completely speechless, they were really curious about how this kind of idiot lived to be so big, and at the same time, Li Mingyang did have a strong interest in Li Yuan's eldest earl, and he could keep such an idiot's younger brother, he must not be an ordinary warrior......
Li Yuan just took a few steps, and immediately turned around and said, "Xiao Li, come, take your second uncle, third uncle, and seventh uncle with me to meet my eldest brother." β
Guo Yunshan's cheeks twitched in unison, and they walked up with Li Mingyang, and suddenly they hated Li Mingyang's nonsense as a relative.
Li Yuan excitedly led people into the earl's troops, and it was obvious that all the Xiliang troops recognized this famous "paper-general". Li Mingyang and the others were naturally happier when they saw that they were finally able to talk to the earl.
But when Li Mingyang saw Earl Li Hong, his brain suddenly shook.
