Dumoshui Riverside.

The elite cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army, led by Li Ye, Shangguan Allure, and Li Maozhen, was fighting with Ma Lun's guards. To be precise, it was the Wolf Tooth Army that was attacking, and the Guards were struggling to defend.

After the previous battle, the Guards were now at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, but because of the presence of Mullen, they were able to stabilize their position.

Maren's power is not endless, but with the power of the true gods, he can now compete with the power of the wolf's tooth army. At the moment, the two formations were like two brute bulls fighting, the light mask covering both sides was deformed due to the extreme squeezing, and the aura was passing rapidly in the flickering of the extremely high frequency of the aura.

Obviously, whoever runs out of power first will lose.

At this time, the true god and Li Ye above the immortal realm were also fighting with all their might, and they couldn't be distracted to take care of the mortal world, so the victory or defeat here only depends on the strength of the two armies, and there is no external force to interfere.

In front of the Guards, Ma Lun held the enchantment light shield with both hands, the green tendons on his neck and forehead protruded, and a pair of red eyes stared at Li Ye opposite, without much hatred and resentment, but full of fighting spirit. It can be seen that even in the last period of hard work, he is determined to defeat Li Ye.

In comparison, Li Ye seems to be a lot more relaxed, the strength of the Wolf Tooth Army's elite cavalry battle formation is mainly maintained by Shangguan Allure, and he himself is just like the Wolf Tooth Army generals in the formation, contributing his own strength.

At this moment, Shangguan Allure's white face as white as snow did not have any variegation, but a pair of eyes gradually turned scarlet. Obviously, it was not easy for her to fight against the Guards at this time. On the opposite side, there is not only the power of Ma Lun, but also the blessing of the power of the true god, if she hadn't reached the realm of a half-infantry saint, I'm afraid she would have lost her strength a long time ago.

This stalemate did not last for a few hours, and the strength of the two sides gradually weakened, and in the evening, the noise finally dissipated, and there was no loud explosion, only the sound of foam breaking.

At this moment, whether it was Li Ye or Ma Lun, or the Wolf Tooth Army monks and the Guards monks, they were all panting like cattle, looking like they were in prostration, and it seemed that they could barely sit on the back of a horse and stand on the flying carpet.

Both sides lost their combat effectiveness.

Li Ye looked at Ma Lun, Ma Lun looked at Li Ye, the atmosphere was a little subtle and weird. No matter who you are, it is clear that as long as you fight hard at this moment, the opponent is very likely to collapse. But the attacker always suffers a bit and has to expend more strength, so it is more likely that they will fall first.

Ma Lun popped out a few words from between his teeth: "Withdraw the army and retreat to Mulu City!"

After the previous battle, the Guards after more than 100,000 breaks, lost about 40%, and now there are still 60,000 troops, for Mullen, the plan to ambush the Wolf Tooth Army was not successful, and his own troops were also seriously damaged, which was really a big defeat.

But in the current situation, he can't help but retreat, the war situation in the Black Khanate has collapsed, and the elite of the standing army has fully retreated to the border of Mulu City, intending to redeploy the defense, and the 60,000 guards are unable to garrison Nasebo City.

Li Ye looked at Shangguan Allure, the two bowed slightly, and exchanged thoughts silently, and the latter decisively ordered: "The army moves forward, follow and pursue!"

The Wolf Tooth Army rushed here from Talas City, in order to take advantage of the extremely favorable opportunity of the battle situation on their own side to intercept and kill the main force of the Guards, so that the defense line of Mulu City in Great Food would lose its backbone, so as to achieve the goal of lightning attacking the territory of Great Food and fighting quickly.

And now in the first battle, although the wolf tooth army killed 40,000 enemies in front of Dumoshui, 100,000 guards ran first, and the strategic goal was not achieved, and it was also a defeat.

If the 60,000 guards in front of him succeed in getting out, then with these guards, the border defense line of Dashi will be complete, and if they blindly stick to it in the future, with the convenience of local warfare, it will be very difficult for the Tang army to crush the other party before winter.

Once the situation develops in this way and the stalemate drags on until next year, the Datang Expeditionary Force from Guanzhong Taiyuan will face a difficult choice of withdrawing troops due to logistical pressure. At that time, whether the Black Khanate's gains could be maintained or not is two theories.

Therefore, the meaning of Li Ye and Shangguan Allure is that the Wolf Tooth Army must follow the guards and not fight, but never let go. In the follow-up process, relying on the elixir of the Immortal Medicine Workshop, he tried to get ahead of the guards, restore a certain combat capability, and use the advantage of the elite cavalry to rush into battle to eat the 60,000 monks in front of him in one fell swoop.

The Guards relied on the flying blanket and safely crossed the river and retreated westward. Looking back and seeing the Wolf Tooth Army's elite horsemen unrelenting, walking along the riverbank, Ma Lun couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling very depressed.

Although the river is not small, Dumoshui is not a big river after all, and the river surface is not too wide, if no one stops it, the fierce beast war horse of the Wolf Tooth Army can easily fly over the river with the help of some magic weapons such as driftwood.

"Li Ye, this guy is too deceitful!" was chased away and chased by others, feeling Li Ye's aggressive momentum, Ma Lun's mood was very uncomfortable. But at this time, he has no other choice, he can't stop and fight, the wolf tooth army has the advantage of foot strength, and there is no chance if he doesn't go forward at this time.

Li Ye followed Shangguan Chengcheng and walked along the river bank for a while, then jumped across the river and pursued the Great Food Guards. Some of the soldiers in the back threw horizontal knives, and some threw long lances, all of which were magic weapons, horizontal on the surface of the river, so that the war horses borrowed once or twice, and they all crossed the river smoothly.

"Continue to move forward, there will be more and more Great Food Army, and the Great Food Army that can retreat to the front so early must be the elite of the standing army, and the military discipline and order will not be bad, and if there are more of them, it will be a trouble for the Wolf Tooth Army. ”

Li Ye looked ahead and said slowly, the tail of the guards is in the field of vision, and there are great monks in the sky to watch, so he is not worried about losing it. The Wolf Tooth Army now only has 70,000 or 80,000 combat strength, and it is a tired division, if the Guards in front cooperate with the standing army, the road ahead will still be full of risks.

"The 100,000 Guards who withdrew one step earlier, if they return to the carbines, we will definitely be in danger. Shangguan Allure had a clear mind, and what he said hit the nail on the head. The 100,000 guards have not gone through hard fighting, they are full of energy, if they are killed, the wolf tooth army at this moment is not easy to deal with.

Li Ye nodded, this is indeed a big problem.

He asked the Great Monk Scout about the follow-up of the Tiger Guard Army and the Yulin Army, and learned that both armies were moving at full speed, because of the battle of Dumoshui, the forward was now only a little more than a day's journey away from the Wolf Tooth Army.

"The pursuit cannot be stopped, it must be continued. Li Ye set the tone.

Now, whether it is the remnants of the Guards in front of them or the Wolf Tooth Army, the marching speed is very slow, and even if they regain their strength, they dare not speed up too much, and they have to guard against the battle that will come at any time. In this case, the position of the vanguard of the Tiger Guard Army and the Yulin Army will be closer and closer to the Wolf Tooth Army.

If the 100,000 guards who had withdrawn earlier turned back to attack the Wolf Tooth Army, the latter's foot strength would not be too much of a problem to retreat. There are great monks in the air to monitor and probe the Quartet, and if there is danger, they can warn in time, so that the Wolf Tooth Army can take the first step to respond.

"If those 100,000 guards turn back to fight, we may not necessarily be defeated, we just need to give full play to our speed advantage, entangle with them, maneuver, drag them down, and wait for the Tiger Guards

If the Yulin Army keeps up, there will be a chance to defeat them. ”

Shangguan Allure has always thought about the established strategic goals, which is also the core factor for the Wolf Tooth Army not to give up tracking.

Thanks to the elixir of the Immortal Medicine Workshop, the strength of the soldiers is rapidly recovering, as long as there is no battle within a few hours, without entering the defense line of Mulu City, surrounded by the Great Food Army, not to mention fighting, the ability to escape is still guaranteed.

Li Ye sighed lightly, "It seems that it is no longer possible to annihilate the 60,000 remnants of the Guards alone." Next, either they will return to Mulu City safely with the response of those 100,000 soldiers, or they will turn back to fight, so that we may have the possibility of holding them down and gathering them. ”

At this point, the short-term development of the battle situation basically depends on how Mullen chooses.

If Mullen is cautious, the Wolf Tooth Army has no chance, and if Mullen still wants to turn the tide of the war from land, both sides have opportunities and risks.

"Not pinning your hopes on your opponent is the primary essence of marching and strategizing. King Qi interjected at this time, and she pondered: "If we want a certain situation, we have to push Mullen to make that choice. ”

Li Ye and Shangguan Chengcheng turned their heads to look at her at the same time.

After figuring out the Wolf Tooth Army's pursuit intentions and considering the current situation of the Great Eclipse Army, Mullen made a cautious and serious choice. The 100,000 guards who retreated first had gone a long distance because they were retreating to Mulu City at full speed, and now it will take a while to let them come to help.

After the 100,000 guards returned, Maren did not plan to let them unite the 60,000 remnants of the army to take revenge on the Wolf Tooth Army, but to ensure that all the monks and soldiers could retreat to Mulu City safely to set up defenses.

Although deep down, Mullen really wanted to take revenge on the Wolf Tooth Army, and also thought that as long as 100,000 new guards joined, he could achieve victory, but that would also have to be fought by the Wolf Tooth Army.

If the Wolf Tooth Army escapes, the hundreds of thousands of guards will just run in vain, delaying the opportunity to return to Mulu City, and there is a possibility that the Wolf Tooth Army will rely on the advantage of foot strength to walk dogs in the wilderness.

Now, the situation of the war, and the constant defeats, make Mullen unwilling to take any more risks.

"As long as we stabilize in Mulu City, and wait for Monchitaz to land in the eastern part of the Tang Dynasty, the victory of the war will belong to us. I don't need to have a battle of will with Li Ye right now, I have to fight him here!" "Confidence in the Navy is the root cause of Mullen's decision.

But what happened next was not as Mullen had predicted.

Before the 100,000 guards came back and joined the 60,000 remnants, the Wolf Tooth Army, which had taken the lead in recovering more strength with the outstanding elixir of the Immortal Medicine Workshop, actually took the initiative to attack and attacked the 60,000 remnants.

Secondly, Mullen received a report from the Grand Friar sent by Monchitaz, saying that they had encountered the naval fleet of the Tang Dynasty, and a fierce battle had broken out between the two sides.

If the Wolf Tooth Army's initiative to attack was still expected by Malen, then the expedition of the Datang Fleet to thousands of miles was beyond Malen's expectations.

"Tell Monchitaz that he must quickly defeat the fleet of the Tang Navy! With only 100,000 opponents, he won't be unable to win, right?" Mullen gave an order to the returning Grand Monk, and after the other party left, he gave another order to 60,000 remnants of the army to form a formation to meet the enemy.

The Wolf Tooth Army attacked, and the Guards could only form a formation to meet them, otherwise they would be slaughtered.

However, he did not think that the Wolf Tooth Army had now recovered and could defeat the strength of the 60,000 Guards. He himself has recovered some aura, and he can continue to sit in the big formation, waiting for the 100,000 guards to rush back.
