Maren groaned.

The outcome of the war seemed to be very simple at this time, and the decisive factor was whether the monks and supplies he recruited could reach the eastern battlefield as expected. For a truly large country, the deployment of personnel and materials within the country is a matter of hand, and it seems that there is nothing easier than this.

At least it's much simpler than fighting the Tang army head-on on the battlefield.

"The survival of the country is in this battle, the true god is watching each of us, and the order is to go down, for the glory of the true god, every warrior of the true god must swear to defend Mulu City! I will fight side by side with the soldiers, and I will not take half a step back from Mulu City until I die!"

In order for all the soldiers to fight with all their might, and to keep the defense line of Mulu City as long as possible, Mullen did not mind creating an atmosphere where the country was in danger and could not retreat even a step.

Mullen's plan is very clear, as long as the defense line of Mulu City holds on for a month and a half, and when the first three groups of recruited monks and materials are in place, and enter the preset city to build the second front, he will lead the soldiers of Mulu City to retreat from the first line of defense, which will inevitably be seriously damaged, and enter the complete second line of defense to continue fighting.

Of course, this is only the bottom line, and the worst-case scenario.

Mullen hopes that the Mulu City defense can be held for a longer period of time, so that the second line of defense can have more time and operate more strongly.

When the army will retreat depends on the offensive of the Don army.

As long as the Tang army could not break through the defense line of Mulu City within a month and a half, before the personnel and materials of the second line of defense were ready and the fortifications were not formed, Malen believed that the final victory would definitely belong to the Great Eclipse.

And this, for the big food, is really not difficult.

Coming to the sky above Mulu City, looking southeast, dozens of miles away in front of a foothill, there is a brightly lit camp, like a sea of stars, Malen knows, it is the camp set up by the Tang Army's vanguard Xiao cavalry.

The vanguard has arrived, which means that the main force is not far away, and after a period of peace in the war, the two armies will once again fight bloody on the battlefield.

"Xi Luchi, if you are the commander of the Tang Army, how long will it take you to conquer Mulu City?" Ma Lun suddenly asked Xi Luchi, the deputy emir who was following him.

Xi Lu pondered for a while, to this day, Da Shi and Da Tang already have a deep understanding of each other's combat power, and this question is not difficult to answer, "At least three months!"

Maren shook his head, "It won't take three months, and when it comes to this, you don't have to compliment me, in my opinion, about two months should be reasonable." In other words, before the cold winter came, they were able to break through the defense line of Mulu City. ”

Xi Luchi nodded and didn't speak again, Ma Lun's assertion was actually in line with his cognition.

After Li Ye and King Qi finished eating roast sheep, they sat on the grass, their heads resting on the sea of stars, and they drank without a sip. The little lamb who had eaten the legs of his companions was lying at the feet of King Qi with satisfaction, with two small eyes open, and he was not even calling, looking very interesting.

King Qi has compassion for this little lamb, but he doesn't like the other party to stick to her, and if she stays with the sheep for a long time, she will also have a smell of sheep on her body, which is not in line with King Qi's preferences, so he kicked it away with his foot several times in disgust.

Maybe King Qi is a little weaker,

The lamb did not feel threatened, and after rolling down the hillside, he would always get up and continue to run back to King Qi's feet, bleating twice and then lying down again.

Li Ye was amused and couldn't help but joke about King Qi, saying that she was doing it herself, in exchange for King Qi's angry eyes, and kicked the lamb down the grass slope with another kick.

"How is the battle situation in the Immortal Domain?" asked King Qi, turning his head.

Li Ye shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "At present, it is still evenly matched, and no one can help anyone, and the same is true for me and the true god." ”

King Qi wrinkled his narrow and graceful eyebrows, "The Tang Immortal Domain, originally only the Daomen Immortal Court was dominant, but now there is the Buddha Domain and the Demon Clan to help, even if the Immortal Emperor is killed, but the Daomen Immortal Court has not suffered much loss, plus the monks of the Buddha Domain and the warriors of the Demon Clan, the strength is much stronger than before." This kind of power can't help the Crescent Moon Sect Immortals?"

Li Ye shook his head and said, "The Daomen Immortal Court is indeed profound and powerful, but today, they are actually very corrupt, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation;

"The monks of the Buddha Domain, after experiencing the defeat of Tianzhu, their power has been greatly reduced, and this is the matter of Feihong becoming the new Holy Buddha; Although the three are united now, the time is still shallow, and I haven't had time to stir up the turbidity and purify it, so the strength is far less strong than you imagined.

"And the Crescent Moon Sect in front of me is the largest sect in this world at the moment, its strength is incomparable, and it is led by the true god himself, and it has been trained for a long time, and now it is united and high-spirited.

"If I hadn't gathered the Daomen Immortal Court, the Buddhist Domain monks, and the demon clan masters, it would have been impossible for me to draw with them, and the current situation was already hard-won. ”

King Qi kicked the lamb away again, this time she was not in a very smooth mood, her strength was greater, the lamb let out a mournful roar, and the distance of dripping and rolling down was also extraordinarily far, and the whole body was like a jar.

"What will be the end result?" asked King Qi.

Li Ye drank the last sip of wine in the wine bag, casually put the wine bag far away, lay down on the grassy slope with his head on his hands, looked at the mysterious and vast bright galaxy from afar, and said with a flat expression: "No matter what the result is, it is not something that can be obtained in a short time, and before that, ten mortal battles have also been fought." ”

One day in the fairy realm, one year in the mortal world, at present, the Tang Dynasty Immortals and the Great Food Immortals are indistinguishable, and fighting for a few days is just an ordinary thing. But for Datang, it only takes three months at most for the mortal battle to be decided. It doesn't even take that long.

Whether or not the Tang Army can break through the eastern border of Dashi within two or three months, and break through the plateau to the two river valleys without having time to complete the layout of the enemy's defensive line is the decisive factor in whether the Tang Army can win.

This speed is much faster than that of the fairy realm.

"In the battle of the mortal world, the key to victory or defeat lies in the time when the Great Eclipse formed the depth of the defense line and the time when the Great Army captured Mulu City. Whoever wins early will be simple and straightforward. ”

King Qi drank the wine bag in one go, followed Li Ye's example, threw the wine bag far away, and threw it farther than Li Ye unexpectedly, she raised her eyebrows proudly at Li Ye, and then happily pillowed her hands and lay down next to Li Ye to look at the stars.

Li Ye continued: "After the army arrives, the time to break through the defense line of Mulu City and capture Mulu City is actually predictable, not much in advance, and it will not be delayed anywhere, after all, double."

Fang Junli was there. And this battle is a real collision, and there is no possibility of tricks.

"So in the final analysis, a large part of the winner or loser of this battle actually lies in whether the Western Regions Commercial House can delay Mullen's conscription order. Since we lifted the crisis of the world's attack on the Tang Dynasty and defeated the Uighurs of Xizhou and marched into the Western Regions, the infiltration of the Crescent Sect and the Great Eclipse has been going on, and the layout can be said to be early.

"For the current battle, the Western Regions Commercial Bank has been running non-stop and fighting for many years, and now, it is time to test the results. ”

King Qi looked at the night sky and nodded slightly, and the lonely galaxy fell into her clear eyes, making her eyes look like a miniature universe, indescribably quiet and moving.

And such a pair of beautiful eyes, at this moment, only the night sky can be seen through gazing. Whoever wants to see these eyes has to look into her eyes, and they will definitely cover the stars.

Of course, King Qi didn't know how good her eyes were, she found that a huge sheep face came in front of her, and the pores on her reddish nose were so close that she could see it, and when the bleating sound came into her ears, the little sheep also showed a smiling face that was easily recognizable, and she couldn't tell whether it was ugly and funny, or cute and funny.

A slap turned the sheep's face aside, and King Qi turned his head to Li Ye and said, "Can you go and preside over the overall situation of the Western Regions Commercial Bank?"

Li Ye shook his head: "No." Everything can only be seen on their own. In fact, what I can do has been done for them over the years, and now I can only trust them and believe in my own efforts. ”

King Qi showed a bright smile, "The moment of flowering and fruiting is determined by the time before flowering and fruiting, we have reached the limit of what we can do, and I believe that we will not be disappointed in the end." ”

Li Ye snorted and didn't say anything more.

The sea of stars at the foot of the mountain was bright and shining, the grassy slope in front of the foothill was as quiet as water, Li Ye and King Qi didn't talk anymore, and the little lamb also lay at King Qi's feet, yawned for a long time and closed his eyes.

The midnight lights in Baghdad were dim, and Zhang Changan heard a rhythmic knock on the door, and opened the courtyard door to let Saidianchi in. The latter was full of red light, his mouth was spitting wine, and there was excitement in his eyes that could not be concealed, and he couldn't wait to say to Zhang Changan before he entered the house: "I know who went to Nissa City!"

Nisa City, the largest city closest to Mulu City, is an important town in the northeast of Great Food. In order to get out of Mohard's mouth, who went out of Nissa City without a trace, Saidianchi had been bothering for a long time.

"Let's go inside. Zhang Changan was also excited about the good news brought by Saidianchi, but he was stable after all and did not show any abnormality. As long as you know who the Great Temple is going to Nisa City and when to go, the merchants of the Western Regions can keep an eye on each other, and with Nissa City's eyeliner, they can easily grasp the other party's movements.

What Zhang Changan and Sai Dianchi didn't know was that when they entered the house to discuss important matters, outside Sai Dianchi's house, in a dark alley across the street, Su Nadine and Satuk had gloomy faces, staring at the door of the house with unkind eyes.

"Are you sure there's something wrong with Saidianchi?" Satuk confirmed the problem to Kusunadine for the last time.

Sunadine's eyes flashed, "Didn't you suspect him for a long time?" I have been staring at him for so long, and I have found that his behavior these days is indeed quite abnormal. To confirm if there is a problem with him, just need to be now"
