The Great War inevitably broke out in the midst of everyone's nervousness or anticipation.

The Western Regions Coalition army climbed the hillside step by step with the tower shield on their shoulders, this to fend off the arrows thrown down from the hillside above.

But Wang Jian was a chicken thief alone, and he felt that the frontal shot must not have much effect, so he simply ordered the crossbowmen in the middle to pause their shooting to maintain deterrence, while the crossbowmen on both wings shot into the middle mountain road......

So the condescending wings shot together, causing the first casualty number of the Hu people in the Western Regions on the mountain road.

It's just that compared to the total number of 350,000 troops, these casualties are simply insignificant.

And Wang Jian didn't have much thought about this, when the other party was well prepared, the five thousand crossbowmen were actually more of a deterrent, and the real consumption was still from the three thousand soldiers engaged in the front.

But Wang Jian noticed something very interesting...... That is, there is a tower shield that can defend against arrow attacks, and there is only a queue of fifty meters in the front.

"A group of poor ghosts, what kind of war do you have no money to fight?" Wang Jian snorted coldly, and let out a contempt from the depths of his soul.

Then he ordered: "All crossbowmen, the maximum range is to shoot at the rear of the enemy, and leave the front alone!"

A rain of arrows fell, flying directly over a distance of two hundred meters, and came to the queue covered by the tower shield, causing a large number of casualties.

Condescending projectiles are now so that the enemy can only catch the arrows and wash the ground, but it is difficult to make a counterattack.

Because on this slope, the short bow of the Hu people can't shoot far at all!

And if the archers had approached, they would have already taken many steps into the range of the Western Qin Arrow Array.

So at this time, the Hu people coalition army could only choose to accelerate the assault with arrows, trying to force the battle.

But as the side attacking from the back, how fast can they charge on this hillside of more than 30 degrees?

And even if they rushed up, with the hoplites of Western Qin in formation, how much strength would they have to deal with the battle?

And so the most tragic battle began.

The 3,000 heavy infantry of the Western Qin Dynasty lined up in front, slashing and slashing at the Xihu soldiers who rushed up...... After a short stalemate, the Hu people of the Western Regions were suddenly frustrated!

Such a charge could not shake the Western Qin's 3,000 heavy infantry array at all, and the reinforcements in the rear were constantly consumed by the Western Qin's arrow array on the road.

Even a quarter of an hour after the start of the battle, the Xihu could not even guarantee the density of troops in front of the heavy infantry formation...... That is to say, it is even difficult for them to maintain pressure on the Western Qin infantry phalanx!

In this case, any commander with some ability will have to change, and the people of the Western Regions have indeed made changes...... It's just that their changes are brutal.

A group of black-clad swordsmen entered the battlefield and began to mercilessly unleash butcher knives on those who were afraid of battle, who retreated, and even those who ran slowly.

The Western Regions Alliance is dispatched by the Overseer team...... Western Qin also has a team of warlords, but if it is not a desperate situation, it will rarely be used.

And after the appearance of Xihu's warlord's team, the battle situation was indeed improved, which brought a certain amount of pressure to the Western Qin army.

But that's all, they couldn't break through the defense of this army formation, as if they were just using human lives to consume the physical strength of the Qin army.

But Wang Jian had been prepared for this kind of thing for a long time.

After about half an hour, he directly ordered: "Crossbowmen shoot the middle of the enemy's formation, take turns to prepare!"

Immediately, the arrow array, which was originally only a containment scale, was powerful again, and the Xihu people who rushed up the hillside were shot through on the spot.

Taking advantage of the scattered personnel of the other side, the heavy infantry phalanx in front immediately retreated.

Thinking that the opportunity had come, the Xihu people immediately rushed forward to pursue them.

Unexpectedly, after the original infantry phalanx retreated from both sides, another brand-new phalanx was immediately revealed in the rear!

This new phalanx did not give those Hu people in the Western Regions any chance to react at all, and they rushed forward with a tower shield, swinging their knives in the front row and piercing the spears in the back row, and easily recaptured the place they had originally given up and re-entrenched the front.

After the infantry phalanx completed the rotation, it was the turn of the crossbowmen to rotate in an orderly manner, and the entire battlefield was orderly under the command of Wang Jian, and there was no chaos at all.

Ji Zheng looked at this scene and couldn't help but praise Su Li again and again...... He is also from the army, how could he not know that in fact, the most prone time to casualties in the war is actually the stage when the physical strength of the soldiers begins to decline.

Fighting a war is not just a matter of bravery, and a general should indeed take all aspects into account.

Now Wang Jian's rotation method is very outstanding, which is equivalent to allowing the soldiers in front to always maintain sufficient physical strength to meet the enemy.

However, the enemy had to climb the 500-meter hillside, and the battle was already fought under the condition of physical exhaustion, and the casualties were predictable.

And in Ji Zheng's opinion, this king's part-time soldier can indeed be called a compassionate soldier.

Because his tactics are said to ensure the safety of his soldiers to the greatest extent...... So far, there have been zero casualties!

However, the killing efficiency is not very high.

But he likes this Ji Zheng very much, what he sees is the stability of the king's soldiers and the absolute control of the overall situation...... It's just that from these points of view, he may have surpassed Meng Zhi in terms of true talent, and only another soldier can match it.

The day runs out of time, from dawn to the westward tilt of the Sun...... More than five hours have passed, and Meng Zhi has just made six rotations.

Almost every soldier in the level had a chance to fight, but everyone only fought for an hour or so when they had the most physical strength.

So on this day, after the battle, the Western Regions Coalition Army left more than 4,000 corpses, while the Qin army only talked about more than a dozen wounded.

No one died!

The Qin army was covered with heavy armor, and they were generally cut one or two times and could not die, so they would be dragged down by the rear robe for first aid...... And it just so happens that there's one in this level who is very good at dealing with this kind of thing.

It wasn't until the drums and trumpets of the retreating Western Regions coalition army were heard in the distance that there was silence in front of the Hongshan Pass, which had been fighting for a day.

At this time, the Red Mountain Pass is a veritable 'Red Mountain', and the mountain road under its feet has been soaked in blood, and mutilated corpses can be seen everywhere.

Bodies can also be seen in the crevices of the cliffs next to the mountain road...... Horrible, horrible.

This is the first time that Beiguang has experienced such a tragic and spectacular scene, and it is also the largest 'cannibalism' he has ever seen in his life.

This had a great impact on his young heart, and he was a little stunned.

"Don't stand stupidly, come and do things with me. Su Li dragged his disciples to the previous battlefield.

Approaching the battlefield, a strong bloody aura made Beiguang a little dizzy.

With his experience, he will not be unbearable, but it is difficult to accept this situation for the first time.

"If you don't think it tastes good, just hold your breath, there's no shame in that. Su Li said, and then he had already begun to make movements.

He took out a handful of Pure Talismans from his pocket and said to Beiguang: "Come, help Master, purify every corner of this battlefield, don't leak it." ”

Beiguang really came back to his senses, and he asked strangely, "Master, what is the purpose of this?"

"When I was training on the battlefield in my early years, I was almost taken advantage of by the evil monks to get angry and dead...... So this kind of thing must be guarded against. Su Li explained.

Beiguang listened to the teachable expression...... He felt that following his master always had endless knowledge and experience.

So he obediently took a large handful of talismans and began to activate and cast them according to Professor Su Li's method......

Su Li cooperated and did the movements together...... Of course, he only needed a Void Talisman to do it all.

"Master, you also used talismans when you saved people before, right?" After a while, Beiguang really couldn't help but ask.

Su Li nodded and said, "That's right." ”

He had a feeling that he was secretly scheming.

"Then Master can draw talismans?" asked Beiguang expectantly.

Hooked!

Su Li said with a dignified face: "Naturally, I will, after all, practicing talismans is actually a process of spiritual communication between heaven and earth. ”

He's also sore from eggs...... Obviously he was his own disciple, but he was stared at by a group of sword cultivators of the Sword Cliff Sect, and he was not allowed to take the initiative to teach non-sword skills.

This can be regarded as the last 'error correction' method of the five old swordsmen.

When Su Li was recruiting apprentices in the extreme north, this group of guys actually deliberately ran over secretly to stalk them...... Really, he just took in an apprentice, and he had to endure the 'bullying' of these guys.

It's just that their behavior is obviously underestimating Su Li's means...... As a guy who was able to open so many side sects in a sect like the Sword Cliff Sect that originally did its best to cultivate the sword, how could he 'sit still and wait to die'?

No, Su Li just asked Beiguang to follow him to do things, which aroused the young man's desire to learn talisman making......

"Then can Master teach me how to make talismans?" Beiguang's eyes immediately lit up, showing a strong desire for knowledge.

"Of course, when you clean up this place, I'll teach you how to draw the first talisman when you get back to the gate. Su Li paused here before he said, "Speaking of which, your ancestor is also the best at making talismans." ”

"Huh?" Beiguang was surprised.

He rarely heard Su Li mention his lineage in the Sword Cliff Sect. It's just that when I first worshiped the Sword Cliff, I saw the ancestor Guyizi from afar, and then I never saw it again.

So much so that for a long time, although he knew that his master should have a very special identity in the Sword Cliff Sect, he never knew what was special.

It was only later when he settled down in the courtyard of four generations of disciples to meditate...... Master wants him to be able to carry out his early practice in a calmer state of mind and in a quieter environment.

If he had known that he was the first disciple of the Sword Cliff Holy Son, and the people on the side also knew about his relationship with Su Lide, would he still be able to harvest that peaceful, fulfilling and interesting cultivation life in Sword Cliff?

But now it seems that Su Li is going to tell him some of the relationship between the teacher and the inheritance, and Beiguang's heart can't help but look forward to it.
