Chapter 225: Defeat (Part I)

The weather is clear and clear, and the weather is rare before winter, Li Ye, who is standing on the Chang'an ship, overlooks the plateau with his hands. The mountains and rivers and cities that enter the eye are particularly clear, and the busy teams of soldiers and ants generally do not stop.

The eldest young man floated behind him, silently like a person in a painting. The difference is that Da Si Ming is holding his waist with one hand, and he really has nothing to do, but Shao Si Ming's fingertips are beating with green fireflies, and his eyebrows and eyes are also focused, obviously polishing his spells.

King Qi stood beside Li Ye, with a wine glass in one hand and a wine jug in the other, pouring himself a drink, pointing out the country with Li Ye from time to time, occasionally making hearty laughter, and looking high-spirited.

Everyone is in a good mood, naturally there is a reason, the news of Zhang Changan's successful operation was transmitted to Li Ye at the first time.

Mohd's 200,000-strong conscription team had lost most of its personnel and materials, and although there was still some strength left, after the catastrophe, it could only rest in place, gather the fleeing personnel, treat the wounded, and could no longer continue to advance eastward.

In this battle, the Western Regions Commercial Bank concentrated all the main elites that could be dispatched, with a total of nearly two thousand monks participating in the operation, and most of the five hundred monks who had infiltrated the Great Food before were also listed. There are still many people who cooperate with their peripheral forces, plus they are well-planned and well-prepared, and they have the help of Saidianchi when they act, so they naturally succeed in one fell swoop.

Now, Mullen's intention to build an eight-hundred-mile strategic depth in the eastern realm of Dashi has failed.

Mulu City was broken ahead of schedule, and the defense line of Faman City fell too quickly, and it did not achieve the purpose of delaying the Tang Army, and now the only remaining third line of defense is not complete at all because the preparation time has been greatly shortened, not to mention that the recruited monks and materials have not been in place as scheduled.

The third line of defense in the eastern border of Dashi, which currently exists in front of the Tang Army, is equivalent to a virtual shelf, and it is only a superficial appearance.

"As long as we can break through this so-called third line of defense, the entire plateau will be at our disposal, and Mullen will no longer have the time, personnel, and materials to quickly assemble and pose a substantial obstacle to us. ”

King Qi threw down the empty wine jug casually, his eyes were full of light, and he said with hatred: "I have been chased and beaten by Malen for so long, I can't kill if I want to, I can't win if I want to fight, now it's okay, I can capture his country, I see how long he can still be majestic!"

Li Ye took out a wine jug and handed it to King Qi, the other party is very talkative now, and has drunk a lot of wine, he has been chattering for a morning, and there has been no pause, Li Ye decided to let the other party drink more, and he can calm down when he gets drunk later.

Looking at the mountains and cities on the ground again, Li Ye also had a smile on the corner of his mouth.

At this point in the battle, the corpses of the soldiers left by the Great Eclipse in the eastern border have been countless, the standing army has suffered heavy casualties, there are few guards left, plus the millions of monks who can be quickly recruited - the reserve army has also suffered countless losses, and the entire Great Eclipse can be said to have little combat power.

As long as Ma Lun is not given thirty or fifty years, Da Shi will not be able to slow down and will not be able to recover his military strength, and the current situation is doomed, the Tang army will be brave and diligent, and will not give the other party any extra time.

Today, Li Ye has a deeper understanding of how different the monks' war is from ordinary wars.

In ordinary warfare, the spy can penetrate deep into the enemy, although it can also play a big role, but its own combat power is actually very limited, mainly can only spy on intelligence, kill and injure the enemy army can still rely on the frontal battlefield.

But in the war of the Xiuzhen civilization, the monk is personal

The strength of the power is already above the ordinary armaments and weapons, and when the cultivation reaches the level of the real human realm, it is even more able to cross the mountains and rivers, ignoring the ordinary defenses of local cities.

Therefore, an elite monk force can play a great role, and if it is used more properly and can get the cooperation of the spies, then it will be even more extraordinary, enough to influence the situation of the war.

This is the difference brought about by the strength of the individual, not by external weapons.

In the final analysis, in the Xiuzhen civilization, the key to determining the outcome of a war is which of the two sides has stronger cultivation, or has stronger strength to deal with the strong.

Obviously, the Western Regions Comptoir has made the most of this, and Mullen has not yet fully understood this.

Li Ye took out the information of the Western Regions Commercial Bank, and carefully read it again, and unconsciously added a hint of complexity between his eyebrows. In this tip, the Western Regions Commercial Bank reported the losses of several operations.

In Li Ye's view, that is a heart-wrenching number.

The staff of the Western Regions Commercial Bank are all monks, and they are basically Qi cultivators, and the strength of the monks of the entire Western Regions Commercial Bank is almost equivalent to a tiger guard.

And they have infiltrated the Great Food for many years, during which they have spent countless wealth and experienced countless battles, so they have either befriended or controlled many Great Food magnates and officials, and they are a tiger guard army in terms of paying.

The five hundred monks who had secretly entered the Great Eclipse before the war and cooperated with them were a huge force.

In this case, they gathered all the forces they could use over the years to launch an operation against the conscription order, and under the echo of the frontal army, they suffered countless casualties, and the result was half successful and half defeated.

"Let Yang Xing's secret relatives lead the fleet into the Arabian Gulf to meet the monks of the Western Regions merchant houses who have withdrawn from the hinterland of the Great Eclipse. Li Ye turned around, recruited a military envoy, and issued a strict order.

Every time it acts, the power of the Western Regions Commercial Bank will be exposed, because the task is large and involves a wide range of things, and after the fact, the Supervision Yuan can always track down a lot of things according to the map.

And now, all the tasks of the Western Regions Trading House during the war have been completed, and those who should participate in the operation must be dormant if they can be dormant, and if they can't be dormant, they must be withdrawn.

In the next few months, the Tang army will be invincible on the front, but in the hinterland of the Great Eclipse, the power of the Supervision Yuan will still exist, and they will inevitably bear the wrath of Mullen and do everything they can to track down the Western Regions Merchants.

In the Western Regions trading house in the east of Dashi, it was easy to withdraw, after all, it was very close to the Tang army, and as the Tang army advanced, they could also be quickly received. But in the Western Regions Trading House in the hinterland of the Great Food, it is not so simple to leave.

At this time, the Lingnan fleet was required to enter the Arabian Gulf directly and go to the vicinity of the city of Susa to meet the counterpart.

Fortunately, the sailors of Da Shi have basically been wiped out by the Lingnan fleet, and there is not much combat power left, although one or two hundred magic weapon warships are enough to crush the pirates, but there is no need to worry about how much trouble they can cause to the Lingnan fleet.

......

Wonderland.

In the dozens of days of battle in the mortal world, the situation has changed dramatically, but for the immortal army fighting in the immortal realm, it is only two times to rush into battle.

The true god is fighting fiercely with Li Ye, originally the two were evenly matched, Rao is each came up with the strongest means, and they couldn't help each other, so they could only keep draining.

Suddenly, Li Ye

A mediocre sword stab, the speed was one point faster than before, and the true god was surprised, and hurriedly put down an air shield with both hands to block it in front of him.

When the two sides were fighting for a lot, they had a sufficient understanding of each other's strength, and the qi shield formed by the true god should have successfully blocked Li Ye's sword, but when the sword qi came into contact with the qi shield, the strength was actually a point greater than before, piercing the air shield between the lightning and flint, and approaching the front chest of the true god.

The unexpected change shook the heart of the true God, and in the crisis situation, he could only dodge sideways.

However, although this sword was avoided, the true god's movements were chaotic, although it was only for a short moment, it was enough for Li Ye to seize the opportunity, and the sword of the Son of Heaven turned into a thorn, and with a snort, a touch of flesh flew on the shoulder of the true god!

This sword seems ordinary, but when it is cultivated to the level of the true god and Li Ye, any blow carries the power of thunder, which is enough to open mountains and rivers, where can it be easily withheld.

The true god had the heart to grit his teeth and take advantage of the situation to punch Li Ye, but he was hit by the aura on the sword of the Son of Heaven on his shoulder, and his body was unstable and he could only retreat.

Failed to exchange injuries for injuries, but it was still easy to take the opportunity to open the distance, and the true god retreated again and again, until he pulled out a safe distance, and then stared at Li Ye in disbelief, "How could your cultivation suddenly increase so much?!"

As soon as this question was asked, the face of the true God became gloomy, because the answer was not difficult to obtain. In the case that the two of them are evenly matched, and there is no room to break through the battle, the only thing that can increase the strength of one side is the mortal qi.

Immortals and mortals are one, each other's qi is in harmony, Li Ye and the true god are the masters of the immortal realm, and the slightest change in the mortal world will directly affect the two of them. In such a short period of time, the people under Li Ye's rule will not suddenly contribute a lot of luck to him, even if he has laid down more rivers and mountains, it will take time for the people to return to their hearts.

In other words, it is not Li Ye who has become stronger, but the true god who has become weaker.

The Great Food lost a large area of territory in the mortal world, and the local people also fell into the control of the Tang Army, and the True God, the master of the Great Food Immortal Domain, decreased in strength.

After the true God's question was spoken, it was only a little feeling that he realized the fact that he had become weak, and he turned his mind to glance at the mortal world, and immediately found a fact that made him feel painful.

The eastern part of Dashi has fallen into the hands of the Tang army, and before the battle of Mulu City, the three lines of defense under Ma Lunbu were all broken by the Tang army, and the strategic depth of 800 miles has completely ceased to exist!

"How could Mullen be defeated so quickly?" The true god was shocked in his heart, but he didn't dare to look and think about it too much, looking for the reason, he immediately concentrated his mind and faced Li Ye, who was close at hand. At this moment, the eyes of the true god looking at Li Ye have undergone a fundamental change.

This shift has happened once before.

Before the outbreak of the war, the true god had always thought that the Great Food could easily defeat the Tang Dynasty, and he could quickly defeat Li Ye; after the outbreak of the war, the situation of the war made the true god have to retract his self-confidence and admit that the Tang Dynasty was incomparably powerful, and Li Ye was equal to his strength.

And now, because of the changes in the battle situation in the mortal world, Li Ye's strength has actually surpassed him, and he can no longer compete with Li Ye head-on.

If the battle situation in the mortal world cannot be stabilized, and the Great Eclipse is continuously captured by the Tang army, then the strength of the true god will continue to decline. In such a situation, let the true god look at Li Ye's eyes, and he can't change his jealousy.

And Li Ye's reaction was straightforward, and after sensing the decline in the strength of the true god, he began to launch a new round of onslaught without reservation.
