Chapter 24, Fangs (Asking for Votes and Collections)
At this time, Li Mi's army formed a circle, the crossbowmen were in the center, and the outer circle was composed of sword and shield hands and spearmen, forming an impermeable barrel, and the Yuwenshu army surrounded it, and the war fell into the rhythm of the extermination war.
"Hold on for another half an hour at most and you'll be defeated. Tang Que looked at the soldiers in the battle, and sighed slightly, the combat strength of the Western Army was surprisingly strong, and it was on par with Yuwen Shu Jīng Rui, sure enough, only the soldiers who had experienced victory and defeat and bathed in blood could be called Jīng Rui, and the casualties of the recruits had been more than half, but the casualties of the Western Army were less than three thousand.
But despite this, the losses of Yuwenshu's army seem to be less than 20,000 people, and most of them were when they were covered by a rain of arrows during the charge, and the losses of Yuwenshu's army were actually about thirty percent less than Li Mi's army during the white-knuckle war. Yu Wenshu's tactics are very correct, since he has an absolute advantage in troops, he only needs to advance steadily Li Mi has no way to take him, in the face of the huge difference in strength, the role that strategy can play is actually very small.
After all, the rainstorm like the night when Tang Que broke Yuan Hongji was not common.
The battlefield of more than 300,000 people was like a huge meat grinder, hundreds of people fell every second, and then the soldiers behind them filled their positions, facing the oncoming swords. Tang Que looked at the corpse that had been thrown in front of him, the roar and despair of the warriors were heard in his ears, the air was filled with blood and slaughter, but Tang Que didn't feel too much sadness, the horse leather shroud itself was the best destination for the soldiers on the battlefield.
Shen Luoyan's face turned a little pale, and the battle situation was already very unfavorable as time passed, but Zhao Xin, whom they had high hopes for, had not yet appeared.
"It can't be delayed any longer. Li Mi said decisively, "Let the Red Brigade prepare, let's break through in the direction of Chang'an." ”
"No, wait. Tang Que objected, "Wait a little longer, he will come." ”
"......" Li Mi glanced at Tang Que, and sighed in his heart, the casualties of the Western Army have already passed half, and the new army doesn't seem to have much left, and it will increase the difficulty of evacuating a second late, but he still chose to believe Tang Que, "Okay, wait a little longer." ”
Time flew by minute by second, the soldiers fell one by one, the blood infected the land red, the new army was left with less than a pitiful 3,000 people, the fighting spirit of the western army was constantly declining, and the combat effectiveness was already less than half, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Li Mi's army left thousands of corpses. Li Mi clenched his fists, if Zhao Xin didn't show up again, he could only help them collect the corpses.
Tang Que suddenly felt a different vibration coming from the ground, compared to the advance of Yuwenshu's army, this vibration seemed rapid and regular, Tang Que suddenly raised his head, "It's coming!"
"Huh?" Li Mi and Shen Luoyan were also bright-eyed, the battle situation that was almost rout suffocated them, and no matter how high their martial arts were, it was impossible to kill them in the encirclement of 200,000 troops, Tang Que's words made them have a glimmer of light in their hearts.
When Lei Qi appeared, it seemed that the heavens and the earth were trembling.
The cavalry of the red sè turned into a torrent and smashed into the formation from the flank and rear of Yuwenshu's army, just like a red-hot knife cutting into the nǎi cheese! Almost instantly, it broke Yuwenshu's defense line and killed the Chinese army that Yuwenshu was sitting on!
The Sui army tried to raise their swords to resist, but it was useless, the cavalry of the red sè was as indifferent as ghosts, swift as ghosts, they seemed indifferent to the fall of their companions, and only knew that they would fight bravely to kill the enemy with Zhao Xin's spear, and destroy the enemy who stood in front of them!
Unstoppable!
Yu Wenshu looked at the broken formation in disbelief, and yelled angrily, "Stop them for me!"
The troops besieging Li Mi's army were immediately transferred back to most of them and went to block Zhao Xinhan's fearless breakthrough, and Yu Wenshu's Chinese army also slowly retreated, gradually moving away from the sharp and sharp thunder cavalry.
The pressure on Li Mi's army was greatly reduced, and Li Mi shouted, "It's time to counterattack!
Li Mi made a decision in an instant, and the Red Brigade, which had been hidden in the snow for the entire battle, let out an earth-shattering roar from the camp of the Western Army, and as Li Mi killed the Chinese army, he went straight to Yuwenshu's location!
Tang Que followed Li Mi's side, and the condensing palm was full of firepower, and for a while, blood shadows flew all over the sky, killing people like mowing grass, and the blood sea Shura ** grew rapidly. Luo Lao followed Tang Que's side, blocking almost all the swords that stabbed Tang Que for him.
Shen Luoyan quickly took over the command, fully cooperated with the advance of the Red Brigade, and dragged the enemy army in place.
Because Yuwenshu retreated in order to distance himself from Lei Cai, Li Mi suddenly led the Red Brigade to break through, and after breaking through the outermost enemy army, the distance between Li Mi and the others and Yuwenshu was less than two hundred meters!
"Those who enter are born, and those who retreat die! Feng Wife Yinzi will fight here! Kill the enemy with me! Kill Yu Wenshu!" Tang Que let out a long roar, almost the entire battlefield heard his whistle, the dantian blood sea rolled up as if it was boiled, the blood-red ripples spread out from his body, and the red brigade who was swept by the blood ripples instantly had blood-red eyes, and his strength and speed rose to a new level, and the lethality was suddenly different!
Luo Lao's heart shook wildly.
"Kill!"
The Red Brigade's advance was like a bamboo! It was even a few points faster than the Thunder Cavalry!
One hundred and fifty meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters! Yu Wenshu's figure was right in front of him! Li Mi and Yu Wenshu in the formation looked at each other from a distance, and Li Mi's sharp gaze was in sharp contrast to Yu Wenshu's shocked and inexplicable expression.
"Yuwenshu!" Li Migao shouted, his figure swept high like a goshawk, moved sideways, dodged all attacks, came to Yuwenshu, and slammed into Yuwenshu's head with a condescending palm!
"It's a good time!" Yu Wenshu let out a long laugh, Bing Xuan's strength urged to the extreme, and a cold hurricane formed in his hands, and the power was terrifying! His rickety body suddenly stood straight at this moment, and with one palm, he repelled Li Mi, who was attacking with all his strength!
Yu Wenshu's cultivation is actually not inferior to Shi Zhixuan! Compared to Yu Wenhua, I don't know how much higher!
The two blood shadows instantly deceived themselves, one left and one right to attack Yuwenshu!
Yu Wenshu snorted coldly, and turned around sharply to meet Luo Lao, just the ice wind brought up by this turn made Tang Que unable to move forward! Luo Ao was not afraid, and his condensing palm and Yu Wenshu's ice Xuan Jin slammed together, Luo Ao's figure shook slightly, but Yu Wenshu took half a step back!
"What a profound internal skill! Who is Your Excellency? Can you dare to report your name!?" Yu Wenshu was shocked.
Luo Ao smiled, didn't answer, and jumped forward to attack Yuwen Shu, Yu Wenshu shouted angrily, and fought with Luo Ao! Li Mi and Tang Que regained their breath and attacked at the same time.
Tang Que's index finger connected the dots, Tu Ling's finger was as sharp as a sword, breaking through the air and stabbing at Yuwenshu, the faint yellow light turned into a fierce light, but it was silent, Yuwenshu couldn't resist it, even the middle three fingers, and the side of his mouth was actually bloodshot!
"Good thief!" Yu Wenshu was furious, and threw himself at Tang Que with Luo Ao, only to see Tang Que smiling, just stepping on the illusion body method to face the enemy with the immortal seal, and without moving, he descended Yu Wenshu's attack to defuse.
If you talk about attacking Tang Que, you can probably be regarded as a first-class master, but if it is defense, Tang Que is not worse than a super-first-class master, relying on the illusion demon body method and the immortal seal method.
Yuwenshu's army lost its command, and it looked chaotic under the breakthrough of the Red Brigade and Lei Cai, and at the same time, the army that lost its formation and command was eaten away by the army commanded by Shen Luoyan little by little, Yuwenshu was anxious, but helpless.
Under the siege of the three masters, he had no chance to get out at all, and if he was not careful, he was in danger of dying of his life, in fact, it was only a matter of time before he died of exhaustion if he dragged on like this.
Yuwenshu was anxious to get out of the war, but Luo Ao's body was not inferior to him, Tang Que was even higher than him, the two of them entangled him to death, there was no chance to get out at all, Li Mi was waiting for the opportunity to move, once he showed his flaws under the persecution of Luo Ao and Tang Que, Li Mi's attack would inevitably follow, Yuwenshu's generation of grandmasters, only felt extremely aggrieved, and sighed in his heart, is it really going to die here?
Yuwen Shu lost his mind slightly, and there was a pause under his feet, where would Luo Ao let go of this opportunity, his feet suddenly erupted, and instantly passed through Yu Wenshu's Bingxuan palm wind, and slapped his chest with one palm! Yu Wenshu dodged with all his strength in shock, but was still swept by the palm wind, and took three steps back, and before he could recover his breath, Tang Que made up a seemingly indifferent palm on his back.
Immortal seal, but forget the previous life on the bridge!
Yuwen Shu spewed out a mouthful of blood from the sky, and let out a heaven-shattering roar! Bing Xuanjin urged with all his might, and for a while, the ice wind roared and circled, and suddenly a suction force was born, enveloping all the three of Tang Que!
When Tang Que was upset, he found that he couldn't retreat at all!
"Come with me to hell!" Yu Wenshu laughed miserably, and his body instantly exploded like a bulging balloon!
...............................................................................................................
Night.
Shen Luoyan looked at Tang Que and Li Mi who were unconscious in front of her with a headache, and she didn't know what to do. The battle has been won, Yuwenshu's 250,000 army was defeated, leaving behind more than 50,000 corpses, more than 100,000 prisoners, and the rest fled to I don't know where to go, the Western Army suffered heavy losses, there were only more than 20,000 people left, and the new army still had 3,000 people left, and the Red Brigade suffered the most severe losses due to the last fight, and only 2,000 of the 10,000 people who broke through and came back alive, and the Lei Cavalry was better, with a loss of about 3,000 people.
The army of 100,000, only 30,000 are still alive now, but the number of prisoners is as high as more than 100,000, and they can't see it at all, Shen Luoyan has a big headache, but at this time, Li Mi and Tang Que were both seriously injured because of Yuwenshu's self-explosion, and they are still unconscious, so that there is no one around her who even has an idea.
"Chang'an Emergency!"
"Come here!" Shen Luoyan was startled, took the news brought by the herald, and his body was suddenly petrified in place, and after a long time, he sighed faintly, "It's up to people to make things happen, and it's up to God to make things happen......"
"What's wrong......?"
Shen Luoyan heard the voice and hurriedly turned his head, but saw Tang Que barely supporting his body, and asked in a hoarse voice, Shen Luoyan hurriedly helped him to lie down, "It's injured like this, what can you do?"
"What's wrong?" Tang Que then asked, his eyes fixed on Shen Luoyan.
Shen Luoyan hesitated for a moment, but still sighed and said, "Lai Hu'er didn't come to support Yu Wenshu, not because they were not in harmony, but because he had already made contact with Wei Wensheng, and now Chang'an ...... At death's door. ”
Wei Wensheng! How could you forget him!? Tang Que felt a big headache, in history, Yang Xuangan was defeated at the hands of Wei Wensheng, and he actually ignored this important person, and let him stay in Chang'an.
"Is it too late?" Tang Que asked.
"Obey the fate of heaven and do your best. Shen Luoyan said helplessly, "There is one more thing, these more than 100,000 captives ......"
"Kill them all. Tang Que replied categorically, and Shen Luoyan was shocked inexplicably.
"But ......!!"
"How can we manage these more than 100,000 people now!?" Tang Que roared, "Chang'an is about to be lost, are we still dragging these people to the rescue? I'm afraid that if we go to the battlefield, they will all turn back, right? How many people are left now? Do we still have to divide people to manage them?"
"I know it's hard to accept killing so many people, but it's the only way. Tang Que was ruthless, "If you can't give an order, I'll come." ”
...............................................................................................................
Tang Que forcibly suppressed the injury with the help of Luo Ao, and led the army to Chang'an, Shen Luoyan followed closely by Tang Que's side, his expression was a little chilled, and he didn't seem to have recovered from the slaughter not long ago.
The outline of Chang'an City was already in front of him, and he saw that the city gate was wide open, and a large number of panicked people rushed to the road, including even soldiers in military uniforms. Tang Que was furious, stepped forward, grabbed a soldier with a panicked expression and asked, "Which battalion soldier are you!?"
"Gift...... I am from the Guards Battalion!" The soldier was taken aback by Tang Que, and when he saw Tang Que leading tens of thousands of people coming, he hurriedly knelt on the ground in a panic and replied nervously.
"Let me ask you, what happened in the city?" Tang Que asked, the uneasiness in his heart intensified, the people in the guard camp actually fled?
"Someone has opened the north gate! Many Sui troops have entered the city, and the Weiyuan army and the guards have been defeated! The Tingwei is about to collapse! Everyone has fled!" The soldier cried incoherently, "Chang'an can't hold it! I don't want ......to die!"
Only then did Tang Que see that the soldier was covered in blood, and his armor had already been tattered, and after listening to the soldier's cry, Tang Que couldn't help but be stunned, and suddenly seemed to be ten years old.
"What's wrong?" Shen Luoyan rushed to Tang Que's side and asked.
Yang Xuan felt finished. Tang Que sneered, "But I haven't conceded defeat yet...... I'm not going to lose!"
Shen Luoyan looked at Tang Que blankly, as if she had never known him.
"Zhao Xin!" Tang Que roared angrily.
"The last general!" Zhao Xince stepped forward immediately.
"You take all the troops with me, block the West Gate for me, and don't let anyone out of the city!" Tang Que's eyes were red, and he ordered, "Lei Qi come with me!"
"Yes!" Zhao Xin commanded.
Shen Luoyan looked at Tang Que who was heading towards the armory, and shouted loudly, she also thought of a way to turn defeat into victory, and guessed what Tang Que was about to do, she didn't dare to think about it at all, if Tang Que really did this, what would happen to Chang'an?" "You're crazy! You can't do this!"
Tang didn't look back, and he didn't hear her scream.
Shen Luoyan looked at the back of Tang Que leading Lei to ride away, like falling into an ice cellar.
...............................................................................................................
On July 25, the ninth year of the great cause, Li Mi defeated Yuwen in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an, beheaded tens of thousands of enemies, 140,000 prisoners were all buried, crying and scolding shook the sky, the wind and clouds changed, the legend is that more than ten years later, pedestrians come here, and the sound of soldiers crying and scolding can still be heard at night.
At night, Wei Wensheng instigated a mutiny, led the original Chang'an soldiers to open the north gate, came to protect the army into the city, rampaged, Xuangan was in a hurry and could not be defeated, 100,000 troops were all wiped out, and Xuangan was hanged from the mansion. Talking about the summer solstice, the southeast wind, the wind helped the fire, the whole city was burning, the army led by Hu'er forcibly rushed through the wall of fire, the soldiers had been burned in many places, exhausted, came to Hu'er to seize the West Gate, blocked by Zhao Xin, and none of the 200,000 troops could get out.
The fire lasted for three nights, burning 300,000 troops, more than 200,000 people, and countless wounded.
Chang'an for thousands of years, not a piece of tiles remained.
