Chapter 188: Focus (I)
"Your Majesty, the Great Eater Immortal retreated as soon as he saw it, and his momentum weakened a little, if we cover up the past now, the monks will definitely increase their momentum!" Yang Jian asked Li Ye for his life.
Attack is risky, but it also has benefits.
If you don't advance at this time, when the Great Food Immortals see that they have retreated, the Datang Immortals will not dare to start a war, and they will underestimate the Datang Immortals by a few points, and their morale will naturally rise. And when the Tang Immortals saw that Da Shi was retreating and showing weakness, Li Ye did not give the order to attack, so it was inevitable that he would have doubts and wonder if he could not defeat the other party, and his morale would fall.
Li Ye waved his hand and said to the monks who were looking at him: "Advance forty-five miles into formation, you don't have to take the initiative to attack." ”
Of course, it is necessary to advance, but there is no need to rush to attack.
The pressure on Li Ye from the True God of the Crescent Moon Sect is not small, this is not in terms of cultivation strength, but the identity of the other party. As a traverser, Li Ye naturally has his insight, and his first reaction is that the true god is also a traverser. But the "golden finger" that the other party carried through was obviously different from himself, he could feel the "Heavenly Dao Qi".
And many years ago, the other party was already the true god of the Crescent Moon Sect, and at that time, Li Ye himself still didn't go to King An in Qingzhou. If the two sides came at the same time, then there was a world of difference, and if they didn't come at the same time, things would be even more unpredictable.
Li Ye didn't know what hole cards the true god had, but since the other party could play the old holy Buddha of the Liberation Gate, he couldn't take it lightly and make strategic mistakes.
Therefore, Li Ye's choice is very simple, it is good to confront the immortal realm, if you can not start a war, you will not start a war, and first divide the victory and defeat in the mortal world. Compared with the battle of the fairy realm, fighting to the death with the true gods who can't figure out the details, Li Ye has already won a lot of victories in the mortal world, the battle situation is much better, and the certainty of winning is also greater.
The immortals are one, the qi and the machine are connected, and when the mortal world wins, it will be a lot smoother to go back and solve the immortal realm.
Having made up his mind, Li Ye's heart did not relax much. If he wants to dry the immortal domain first, then he has to be attacked by the true god without taking the initiative. Previously, the true god took the initiative to retreat, and Li Ye's intention was very clear, which was nothing more than to show some respect for him, a person from the same world as him.
This is a courtesy to the "fellows".
Li Ye and the true god come from the same place, and now they are no longer reunited in a foreign land, but in another world, and the time and space are much worse. It is not surprising that no fellow sees the fellow with tears in his eyes, just giving some courtesy that is not painful.
After the Tang Immortals advanced forty-five miles into formation, the Crescent Moon Sect Immortals did not make any special moves, and their formation could be attacked and defended, and there was no change.
After a long time, anyone could be sure that Li Ye had no intention of taking the initiative to attack, and the Crescent Moon Sect Immortals did not even defend and attack.
"The immortal realm does not fight, but the mortal world does not stop. Da Shi was defeated in the Seven River Valley, and was forced to shrink the front and fully withdraw to the territory of Da Shi, not to mention the local defense, and the Guards were also damaged by 30%. In this situation, the military strength of the mortal world no longer has any advantage over the Tang Dynasty royal division. ”
The Feihong Holy Buddha pondered and said to Li Ye, "At this moment, the Crescent Moon Sect Immortals should immediately go to battle and divide the victory and defeat with us, such inaction, wouldn't it be watching the battle situation in the mortal world collapse? What is the purpose of the Crescent Moon Sect's true god to choose this?"
She asked very seriously, and the look of doubt in her eyes was thick.
At the beginning, the Great Food invaded the western realm of Tianzhu, and as soon as the war began, the true god of the Crescent Moon Sect took the immortals and launched a fierce attack on the Buddha Domain of Shimen in the Immortal Domain, and he took the lead, and he rode alone and overturned the Buddha Domain with one shot.
Since the establishment of the Liberation Gate, it has never been so provoked and humiliated, the old holy Buddha was furious, led the crowd to meet the battle, and fought against the true god of the Crescent Moon Sect, and as soon as he made a move, he did it with all his might, and the golden light swept the mountains and seas, sweeping the immortal realm.
However, less than three rounds after the two fought, the old holy Buddha was seriously injured by the true god and fled, if he hadn't run fast, he would have lost his life on the spot.
Afterwards, the old holy Buddha no longer dared to say that he was fighting with the true god, and when Shimen had suffered a heavy setback in the mortal world of the Tang Dynasty, he decisively issued an order to give up Tianzhu, go east, and win a survival world in the Tang Dynasty.
In Feihong's battle against the old holy Buddha, the reason why the former was able to unite with Li Ye was not that Feihong was stronger than the old holy Buddha, in fact, she had not yet reached that realm, only because the old holy Buddha was seriously injured and had not recovered, so with the help of Li Ye, the other party was wiped out from the fairy realm.
Shimen was forced to give up Tianzhu, the death of the old holy Buddha, the change of dynasty in the Buddha realm, and the true god of the Crescent Moon Sect was the strongest external force. If it weren't for the appearance of the other party, Shimen would not be in the current situation.
And now, the True God of the Crescent Moon Sect and Li Ye have met, but they did not fight, but took the initiative to retreat, and in the case of the Tang Immortals advancing and arraying, regardless of the crisis faced by the mortal war situation, there was no intention of attacking, how could Fei Hong not be thrilled and feel very surprised?
Even with it, the way she looked at Li Ye became very strange.
She secretly guessed: "What is Li Ye's strength?"
When the Buddha Domain changed dynasties, Li Ye's strength was no longer weaker than her, and when the old Immortal Emperor was beheaded, Fei Hong knew that the opponent's combat power was already stronger than her. Now that the Tang Dynasty Andong, Zhendong, Far East, Annan, and Anxi have been established one after another, Li Ye's strength is naturally greatly improved, but I don't know what height it has reached?
But even so, it will not make the invincible Crescent Moon Sect true god retreat when he sees it, and he is still delayed in fighting.
Feihong looked at Li Ye's gaze, and gradually became full of inquiry, "What kind of guy is this guy?"
Li Ye's rise, from a mortal, to the leveling of the princes, and then to the master of the immortal realm, the speed was so fast that she couldn't understand it, and the curiosity in her heart never diminished.
At the moment, Li Ye is much more mysterious than she thought before.
Faced with Feihong's question, Li Ye couldn't answer, he didn't know what the true god intended to be.
What he didn't know was that although he was very jealous of the true God, at this moment, the true God was even more jealous of him. He thinks that the true God is mysterious, and the true God cannot see through his details. And because the true God knows more and thinks more, his doubts are even stronger.
And before in Kulun City, Li Ye easily defeated Ma Lun, which surprised the true god.
That's why the true God doesn't dare to act rashly now.
In any case, the army of the Great Tang Immortals, who had originally planned to march high, and the Crescent Moon Sect Immortals, who had planned to destroy them with a backhand, were now silent. The fairy realm quieted down in this strange atmosphere, barely maintaining this fragile and destined balance.
The focus of the battle between the two sides has returned to the mortal world.
After capturing Talas, the Wolf Tooth Army did not stop for a moment, and went straight to the city of Whitewater, which was more than 100 miles to the west. Here, the Wolf Tooth Army fought a small battle, and the Great Food Army in Whitewater City abandoned the city in embarrassment and fled. Because there was no magic weapon to clean the city, Whitewater City was relatively intact, and the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army were able to be there
Here's a break.
Talas was the core node of the Great Eclipse's northern front in the Black Khanate, and Xi Luchi's Guards were also a pillar of military power.
With the fall of Talas and the destruction of Xi Luchi's army, the entire front of the Great Food Army completely collapsed, and the troops stationed in various cities and key passes were all shocked and retreated after learning of the battle situation in Talas and Whitewater City.
Those who are clearer about LinkedIn can retreat completely with their troops, and those who are hasty will drag themselves down if they dislike the army, and if they are not sure that they will be captured and killed by the Great Tang Cultivators, they will abandon their troops and run away, and their army will naturally lose their armor and collapse in the wind.
The chaos caused by the military rout spread far faster than the people imagined, and in just a few days, thousands of miles of land were filled with soldiers who fled westward.
It is not appropriate to say that they are floods, although they look very similar, but they are not so ferocious, even on the way to retreat, the panicked and resentful soldiers of the Great Food did plague the tribes and cities of the Black Khanate along the way, killing people and setting fire to rob wealth, and the military disasters were vividly interpreted, and the destructive power was no less than that of the flood.
It is also inaccurate to say that ants move, they are not disciplined.
In the chaos of thousands of miles of rout and retreat, after only resting for a day in Baishui City, the Wolf Tooth Army, which left the wounded, went south through Tuozhi City, crossed Xicao City to the west, and quickly attacked all the way, killing Mulu City, an important border town on the Great Food.
So there was a strange scene in the wasteland, there was no formation, like a scattered plate of scattered retreating Great Food Army, rushing with the neatly formed and murderous Wolf Tooth Army.
The former thought that the Wolf Tooth Army was here to hunt them down, and was so frightened that he cried for his father and mother. Some fled in all directions, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, raised and kowtowed to looted property, and lay on the ground pretending to be dead.
However, no matter how they behaved, the wolf-tooth elite cavalry did not look at them squarely, but only ran in the established direction, and if someone stood in front of them, they would be trampled into flesh by the horses' hooves, and even the goods they had plundered would be sunk into the loess and yellow sand.
When the extremely fast Wolf Tooth Army swept by like a hurricane, the big food soldiers in the mess all over the ground, in addition to losing their souls, all looked at the Wolf Tooth Army in the rolling yellow dust with a blank face. Until then, they couldn't believe that they hadn't been killed.
Isn't your own head a military merit?
The Wolf Tooth Army actually ignored themselves?
They cheered, and some wept with joy, and lay on the ground panting for breath, unwilling to get up for a long time.
Maren retreated to Mulu City, where his guards were ordered to assemble, but there was a difference in speed, with the former arriving a long time before and the latter still on the way.
In Mulu City, Mullen learned of the rout of the Great Army. The 700,000 standing troops and 300,000 volunteers who went out to the Seven Rivers Valley all became outlaws without a single battle, and they retreated like birds flying thousands of miles north and south of the Black Khanate.
Even if he ordered someone to pass down the order to retreat in an orderly manner after leaving Kulun City, it would still be useless. In the face of a guard army composed of pure qi cultivators who could defeat the guards and defeat Xi Luchi, an army that was wiped out overnight, ordinary troops and soldiers could not suppress the panic in their hearts at all.
For them, that kind of army is no different from the gods and demons.
How can mortals be expected to fight against powerful gods and demons?
Fortunately, there is a true god to monitor the four directions, and Mullen has learned about the situation of all parties in time, so he can discuss countermeasures with the true god as soon as possible.
