Chapter 208: The Great Victory (3)
In the Immortal Domain, Li Ye and the True God fought with all their strength for a long time, and both of them were very tired from fighting.
The former used all the offensive means obtained from the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, such as the Heavenly Sword, the Heavenly Realm, and the Heavenly Bow, and was unable to help the other party; although the latter relied on the various divine and ghostly methods of the wall-facing people to take Li Ye's onslaught, it was not easy at all.
Such a high-intensity battle is destined not to last. After both of them were about to run out, and tried many times, they couldn't clearly realize that they couldn't rely on hard work to give each other a heavy blow, and they stopped the fight at the same time.
Neither Li Ye nor the true god can really exhaust their strength and lose the ability to deal with accidents.
They are like tigers in the wilderness, and when they encounter a truly invincible opponent, they will never rush into a bloody fight and create an existential crisis for themselves. The result of testing to the end and confirming that the other party cannot be easily solved is to retreat on guard together.
Nothing is more important than your own existence.
Therefore, when the army of Tang immortals and the army of great food immortals were still fighting fiercely, Li Ye and the true gods were already sitting opposite each other from a distance of not long or short distance, and quieted down.
The two observed the battle situation of the army and found that it was difficult for the two sides to distinguish the winner in a short time, and the battle would inevitably stalemate for a while. This made both of them quietly relieved, as long as their own parts can be stabilized, it will not be the worst ending, and everything can still compete slowly.
Relatively speaking, Li Ye's demeanor is more relaxed, and the true god is a little lacking in confidence. The Lingnan Sea Division has defeated the Great Food Fleet, and in the situation that the battle situation in the Immortal Domain is intractable, Li Ye is now beginning to gain the upper hand, and the initiative is getting bigger and bigger.
This is uneasy for the true God, uneasy like never before. Although he also had such emotions during the Battle of Dumoshui, he thought that the situation had been reversed when he saw that Mullen was about to break through the battle. But now He finally understands that this war is destined to be unexpected.
Its appearance may have been decided a long time ago, in a month, in a year, in a decade, perhaps in a hundred years, or in a thousand years. As a wall-facing person from that world, the true god knows very well that the war between the two armies is ultimately a collision between two different civilizations.
Civilization is the product of the accumulation of many people from generation to generation, and its current appearance, whether it is strong or weak, strong or decadent, wise or advanced, is determined by its history. And these are the decisive factors in the outcome of the war.
The battle between the two armies was only a matter of moments, but it decided the fate of the two ancient civilizations.
Defeated nations are bound to perish, and defeated civilizations are not qualified to survive. This is the law of the jungle, the law of the best and the inferior. Only in this way can the human race keep moving forward, continue to grow stronger, meet more and greater challenges, and survive longer.
The outcome of the war is decided before the war begins.
It is not worth grieving that a nation perishes because of a defeat and that a civilization disappears because of an invasion, that is when it is no longer fit for existence and that it is time to be destroyed.
It's just that for the true God, He thought it would be Him who won.
Of course, the war is far from being won or lost, and He still has a chance.
It's just that every step back is going to be hard.
"If you surrender now, I can guarantee that both the Crescent Cult and you will continue to exist. The true god suddenly heard Li Ye's voice, a voice full of confidence, and there was no room for questioning, like a king announcing to his subjects
His edict.
The true god sank his face, "You just won the naval battle, and you haven't won this war yet! We have a lot of advantages in fighting in the Great Food Territory, so if you are not ashamed to speak up now, you are not afraid of making jokes?"
Li Ye smiled faintly and said: "You are indeed very strong and know a lot, but you are in the fairy realm, located in the clouds, and your feet are not on the ground." If you don't see everything comprehensively, the foundation you lay will not be solid, and you won't be able to take many details into account. And the power of civilization is made up of countless details from all sides.
"The fact that my fleet can win is proof that my army will win, and that my army will also win, this is the general trend. If you didn't have some powerful way of manipulating the believers and gaining the power of the believers, your army would have been defeated long ago. In this war, the Tang civilization will be the winner, and between you and me, the outcome has long been known. ”
The true god was stunned.
What Li Ye said has the effect of morning bells and dusk drums, and it is enlightening.
But the next moment He became angry.
Because he can't accept the end of defeat, let alone accept the ridicule of his opponents before the end comes.
So He took a deep breath and stepped forward to fight again.
After the Wolffangs retreated to the city of Nasippo, they began to rest and recuperate. A day later, the vanguard of the Tiger Guard and the Yulin Army arrived, and Li Ye began to ask the soldiers to establish a new baggage supply base here. In the rear, this is the granary, the rear.
Ten days later, the main forces of the Tiger Guard Army and the Yulin Army rushed to the front line of Dumoshui, and according to Li Ye's deployment, they occupied nearby cities to rest and recuperate between wars.
During this period, the other armies of the Chang'an Forbidden Army began to fully enter the western part of the Black Khanate. While they divided their forces to ensure local stability, the main force would continue to fight with the monk army.
Da Shi's army completely withdrew from the Black Khanate, rebuilt the defense line on the front line of Mulu City, and before it could withdraw, the part that was caught up by the Chang'an forbidden army became the military merits of the Tang Dynasty soldiers. In this part, the lord volunteers accounted for most of it.
"The war in the Black Khanate lasted more than a month, and the time was about the same as we had anticipated before the war. Losing half of the Great Food Guards in the Seven Rivers Valley was a victory that met expectations, although it was not a complete battle.
"The army can slow down for a while, mainly to ensure that the place is stable and to transport grain and ordnance up. But before the cold winter comes, we must take Mulu City. ”
Li Ye studied the situation on the front line of Mulu City with generals such as King Qi, Shangguan Chengcheng, Zhao Poyu, and Chen Qinglin at the military meeting, and formulated the battle plan for the future.
"The Lingnan Sea Division is progressing smoothly, and now it has completely dominated the sea, and with their cooperation in the battle of Mulu City, the battle of the Chang'an Forbidden Army will be much easier. After King Qi said this, he turned his head to look at Li Ye, "In addition to the Marine Army, how powerful is the Chang'an ship in the Lingnan Naval Division, and how much effect can it have on the battle situation?"
Li Ye gave a detailed introduction to the situation of the Chang'an ship to the generals. Not surprisingly, after listening to it, everyone was amazed. They only knew that the Chang'an ship could fight at sea, but they didn't expect that the Chang'an ship was more than just a warship.
"There will be a lot of convenience in fighting on the mainland, and the combat power will be greatly improved compared to before, plus there are still 160,000 guards - if Malen also transfers the 50,000 people who stayed in Baghdad, it will be more than 200,000. Relying on the assistance of the standing army and the defense line of Mulu City, it is not very easy for us to attack head-on. ”
Shangguan Chengcheng said matter-of-factly, although in front of the Tang Army's bow and crossbow, the ordinary city has lost a large part of its defensive power, but
The Tang army has not yet ignored the terrain of mountains and rivers and the extent of the moats. Relying on these, the Great Food Army can still build an impregnable defensive line.
The key to the Tang army's expedition was to fight a quick battle, and if the war dragged on, it would lead to defeat - the withdrawal of troops was also a failure, just like Taizong's three expeditions to Goguryeo. This is the biggest constraint of the Tang army, or the disadvantage of the battlefield.
The Great Food Army is holding on to the Guards as the core, not to mention victory, it is easy to delay the pace of the Tang Army. Moreover, under the control of the true god, Li Ye's cultivation is unable to return to the mortal body, and Malen is invincible in the world, and it is also an existence that is difficult to solve.
He has a very good understanding of the Tang Army, and after putting aside the psychology of being careless and underestimating the enemy, in the process of dealing with the pursuit of the Wolf Tooth Army, the talent he showed on the battlefield is also of a rare level.
In any case, the Tang Army's war against Mulu City will be difficult to achieve the desired results.
"In addition to the flank echo of the Lingnan Sea Division, don't forget, we also have the layout of the Western Regions Commercial Bank for many years. Before the army entered the Seven Rivers Valley, the Western Regions Commercial Bank had already made a big move, and if the situation went well, it would play a great role in the future. ”
Li Ye did not say much about the specific deployment of the Western Regions Commercial Bank, but only made a brief announcement. The other party's actions have too much uncertainty and immediacy, and they are very varied, and what is needed is to be in control at any time, and it is impossible to say death now.
"All in all, all armies are now hurrying to rest and recuperate, and when the big war resumes, as long as we can quickly break through the defense line of Mulu City, on which the Great Food Eaters rely on to strengthen themselves, completely defeat the Guards, and open their borders, the road ahead will be smooth. Li Ye boosted morale.
Of course, he knew very well that the battle of Mulu City below would be more difficult than the previous war.
Even with the cooperation of the Marine Army of the Lingnan Fleet, it is not a sure victory.
If the army wants to win, it is not difficult to rely on military strength to attack head-on, but at present, the key to a quick victory lies in the Western Regions Commercial Bank.
The national war is still going on, and before the last moment, the number of winners and losers is full of changes.
Not to mention what the future situation will be, for now, the big victory won by the army before this makes the situation very favorable to Datang.
When the Wolf Tooth Army, the Tiger Guard Army, and the Yulin Army were resting, the actions of the Chang'an Forbidden Army in various places did not stop, and the Xiao Cavalry Army took the lead in moving forward and rushed to the front of Mulu City.
And these, for Zhang Changan, who is in Baghdad, are just some words on intelligence documents. The war that I did not personally participate in felt a lot worse after all.
Therefore, he can only face the moon in a foreign land, to imagine the grand scene of the sea battle, the battle of thousands of sails, and the battle of thousands of people, and rely on his own understanding to outline the heroism of the Wolf Tooth Army in the bloody destruction of Talas City.
Such a fantasy only lasted for a few breaths, and Zhang Changan had to open his eyes, clear the thoughts in his mind, and quickly return to reality. He heard a rhythmic knock on the door and knew it was someone of his own. The other party visited late at night, there must be something important, Zhang Changan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to open the door.
He remembered the duty he had come here for, and he never slackened off, and he knew how dangerous it would be to operate in the capital of an enemy country. Accidents can happen at every moment, and he dies here quietly.
He prepared for the worst, just to do more and contribute more to the army before the last moment came. Therefore, he cherishes time very much, even if he imagines the scene of the army attacking the city and winning the battle, which will make his blood boil and his heart soar, he can't indulge even half a moment.
