Just when Zhao Poyu was about to exhaust his methods to explore Bushi City, he heard Li Ye's voice, "No need to check, the Great Food Guards are in Bushi City." ”

Zhao Poyu hurriedly saluted. Of course he wouldn't question Li Ye's words, but he was a little curious about how Li Ye knew.

"It is not surprising that they have left the city and are heading for the city of Kuran. Li Ye looked at the vast wasteland outside the city with his hands in his hands, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion on his face, "They are very fast, and they will come here around noon." ”

Zhao Poyu's expression was correct when he heard this, and the guards took the initiative to attack, which he did not expect, which showed that the other party was very confident.

Moreover, the distance between the Infantry City and the Kunon City is more than 100 miles, and the road in the middle is not easy to walk, and the Great Food Guards did not show up yesterday, that is, they set off today, and they arrived at the Kunon City in half a day, and this speed is no slower than the marching speed of the Tiger Guards.

"Since I knew that the Great Food Guards were fighting, the Tiger Guards had been resting in Kulun City for a few days, and they were all Qi cultivators, and they had already made everyone full of strength in the past few days. Zhao Poyu said.

What he meant by this was nothing more than that even if the Great Food Guards were extraordinary, the Tiger Guards could win the battle.

Li Ye glanced at him and said leisurely: "The Great Food Guards who came out of Bushi City have a total of 150,000 people, and the number is not much more than that of the Tiger Guards. ”

Zhao Poyu said with a smile: "Your Majesty often says that the victory or defeat on the battlefield is not determined by the number of people, as long as the difference between the two is not too big, the victory or defeat is unknown." ”

Li Ye was noncommittal, "The will of the true god of the Crescent Moon Sect has already seen how the Wolf Tooth Army, the Tiger Guard Army, and the Yulin Army fought. At this time, Mullen still dared to let the Guards take the initiative to attack, which shows that he is sure of defeating us. ”

Zhao Poyu was slightly stunned, this is indeed the case.

If there was no absolute confidence in victory, the Great Food Guards who came from afar would not have attacked so quickly. Although with the current combat strength of the Tiger Guards, whether the enemy is defending the city or not has little impact on the battle, the posture of the Great Food Guards is very strong.

"In Ashu City, the Yulin Army is also facing an attack by the Great Food Guards. Li Ye continued to say to himself, "There are 350,000 Great Food Guards who participated in the war, and in addition to those in these two places, there are 50,000 who don't know their whereabouts now. That said, Mullen still has some reservations. ”

When Zhao Poyu heard this, he couldn't help but blush, and he was furious.

Li Ye's meaning has been made very clear, and the Great Food Guards clearly didn't take them seriously. The guards of the infantry city dared to attack them, and Malen dared not to suppress all the troops, which was a sign of contempt for them.

"Your Majesty, please order to go out of the city and line up!" Zhao Poyu is not a man of many words, he simply asks to go to war directly, and he wants to prove everything eloquently with his actions. If Yang Xingmi was here, he would definitely give an impassioned speech first.

Li Ye didn't have any special reaction, and waved his hand, "Quasi." ”

Zhao Poyu immediately took the order and left.

In terms of the current combat strength of the Tiger Guard, it is actually better to defend the city than to go out of the city to fight. After all, the head of the city is so wide, and there are so many streets in the city, which are not enough to set up a formation, and it is impossible to fully give full play to the strengths of the strong bow and crossbow of the Chang'an Forbidden Army.

The defensive means relied on by the city wall, whether it was high walls and deep ditches, or rolling stones and wood, could not create many obstacles for Qi cultivators, and in the blink of an eye, everyone would be killed at the head of the city, and then the entire city would become a battlefield.

A moment before noon, a yellow line appeared on the horizon, which soon thickened and became high, and in the blink of an eye it was like a wave. It was billowing smoke from the ground. Under the smoke and dust

It was a black tide that spread from the loess land, and it didn't take long for it to become a black ocean.

Their rear team was hidden behind the rolling yellow sand, and the whole formation looked like a sea of fire.

At this time, the main force of the Tiger Guard Army had been assembled outside the city, and at a glance, the phalanx formation was neatly aligned, horizontally and vertically in a line. Small arrays are connected to large arrays, large arrays contain small arrays, and there are passages between arrays, which are distinct from each other and integrated into one, and the weather is myriad.

The sea of black fire and yellow smoke composed of the Great Food Guards quickly moved from far to near, menacing.

Li Ye could see clearly from the top of the city, and these Crescent Moon monks were not in a hurry with their feet. Each of them stepped on something like a blanket under their feet, not big, just standing alone, without colliding with each other, flying half a foot above the ground.

Obviously, it was a magic weapon, a flying magic weapon similar to a flying sword.

Looking at the speed of this flying blanket, it will not be slower than that of the White Ox, no wonder the Guards were able to rush from Baghdad to the Seven Rivers Valley so quickly.

Li Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, every Crescent Moon Sect Grand Cultivator was wearing armor, and the armor was covered with a hooded windbreaker, and he looked extraordinary. He carried a longbow and quiver on his back, a spear-like blade or a scimitar, and a delicate round shield.

That's what can be seen on the surface.

From this point of view, this group of Great Food Guards is indeed not to be underestimated, with good cultivation and excellent equipment.

However, Li Ye suddenly let out a laugh.

Qi cultivators all have storage bags, the difference is only in the size of the space, in addition to the military rations, to put down the bow, crossbow, spear, quiver these weapons are definitely more than enough. But the Guards were eager to be covered with weapons and show all their fangs.

It's showing off, but it's also a deterrent.

However, this method may be useful for the army of the Black Khanate, but for the Tiger Guard, it is somewhat unacceptable.

To Li Ye and Zhao Poyu's expectations, after the Great Food Guards approached, they didn't mean to stay, and when they were five miles away from the Tiger Guards' formation, they still flew at an unabated speed.

The other party is going to attack directly!

Even if they relied on flying magic weapons to hurry, the qi cultivators themselves were not tired, but after standing for a long time without moving, they would consume some physical strength; even if the wasteland was vast, they had set up a formation during the march, and there was no need to make more adjustments temporarily, but it would be somewhat inconvenient to attack directly like this.

Such an arrogant posture is the only thing that the Tang Army has seen on the battlefield.

Zhao Poyu, who was standing above the battle formation of the Tiger Guards, was almost so angry by the Master Guards that he even laughed out loud in anger.

He raised a hand and shouted in a deep voice, "Mark arrow!"

The three rows of Tiger Guard soldiers in the front formation, under the order of the captain, drew their bows and arrows, retreated to Zhang Xian, and shot out three rows of arrows with red lings. The arrow glided through mid-air in a graceful arc and landed 1,800 paces ahead.

1,800 steps, this is the range of the Tiger Guard's magic weapon bow and crossbow.

Before the advent of the magic weapon bow and crossbow, the heavy crossbow with the longest range in the infantry army was the Fuyuan crossbow, which could reach 300 steps. Nowadays, the development of magic weapon bows and crossbows in the Tang Army, starting from the magic weapon bed crossbow in Yangguan, has gone through more than five years, and the range has increased to six times that of Fuyuan's crossbow, which is really nothing.

The Great Food Guards turned a blind eye to the arrows nailed to the ground, and had no intention of stopping in front of them.

Not only that, but with a tsunami-like roar, the spiritual light in the Great Eclipse Army erupted, and the dazzling white light even

Covering the yellow smoke, I saw that their speed suddenly doubled, and with the momentum of rushing into battle, they rushed towards the Tiger Guards!

Zhao Poyu stared at the Great Food Army, his eyes cold. He saw that the other man had removed the longbow he was carrying, and spread the bowstring on the flying blanket, as if he didn't have to run on his own.

After scolding his mother, Zhao Poyu pulled out a horizontal knife, pointed forward, and shouted: "First round, shoot and prepare!"

According to the order, the Tiger Guard soldiers adjusted some parts of the heavy crossbow in front of them. The crossbow is different from the bow, and the crossbow arrows shot are straight lines and cannot draw arcs in mid-air, but the magic weapon heavy crossbow in the Tang army can be simply adjusted according to needs, and the crossbow arrow shooting method can be changed at will.

With the 100,000 soldiers of the Tiger Guard, the same lunge pulled the string, and the entire army array moved, like a wave caressing over the sea.

Zhao Poyu's eyebrows were low, and when he saw the Great Food Army approaching the position of the target arrow, he burst into a shout: "Release!"

The muffled sound of 100,000 bowstrings converged into one, like thunder, and the sound of crossbows breaking through the air was combined, which made people's hairs stand on end. When the crossbow bolts flew through the sky and landed in the Great Food Army's array, they just rushed past the target arrows.

The soldiers of the Great Guards collected their longbows and raised the round shields in their hands.

The round shield was not large, but it formed a huge shield of light, protecting the Crescent monks behind. The Tiger Guard's powerful crossbow arrows, which could even be pierced through the female wall with one arrow, only hit a circle of ripples like water waves on them when they touched these light shields, and did not penetrate through them!

The crossbow arrows in the Tiger Guard Formation's array flew out one after another, and the yellow sand covered the sky, and one meteor shower after another fell. The Great Food Guard, who wanted to find a gap and shoot arrows to counterattack, did not find an opportunity.

Hit by a meteor shower composed of 100,000 crossbow arrows of the Tiger Guard, even the city towers were about to collapse, and even the city walls were unrecognizable, but they fell on the body protection light shield of the Great Food Guards one after another, but they couldn't break through the defense.

Zhao Poyu's face gradually became solemn.

This is also the first time since the army of pure qi cultivators went into battle that the strong crossbow in the army has not achieved the desired results.

At a distance of 1,800 paces, leaning on the flying blanket, the Great Eclipse Guards came over in a moment, and the Tiger Guards inflicted almost negligible blows on the Great Eclipse Guards after firing eighteen waves of crossbow arrows.

Although in the end, the light shield in front of the Guards soldiers had clearly begun to appear like spider webs, and it seemed that it would collapse after holding out for a short time, but it would definitely take a while to continue to strike.

The Tiger Guards didn't have time to fire their crossbows again.

"The magic weapon of the Crescent Moon Sect is so strong?" Zhao Poyu felt surprised, the magic weapon in the Chang'an Forbidden Army had never encountered an opponent since it came out.

"It seems that Maren's Guards are not just a collection of Qi cultivators, but a real elite army. Seeing this, Li Ye had a preliminary understanding of the combat power of the Guards.

The reason why an elite army is an elite army is that in addition to orders and prohibitions and rigid actions, the primary factor is that it is well-equipped. The biggest difference between the army of Qi cultivators and a group of Qi cultivators is that the magic weapons they use are not in the style of rivers and lakes, but in line with the needs of the battlefield.

From this point of view, the Guards have reached the point where they are on a par with the Tiger Guards.

"Shield array!" Seeing that the Great Food Guards had already collected the round shield and began to hold the gun in both hands, Zhao Poyu ordered the soldiers to put away their crossbows and prepare for melee combat.

Able to break through the Tiger Guard's strong crossbow arrow rain head-on, Zhao Poyu also admitted that the Great Food Guards did have the qualifications to attack the Tiger Guards head-on.
