The bloody dusk reflected the majesty of Kopet's hills, and the golden sound of the troops reverberated through the mountains, and the soldiers retreated from the stone town like a tide. In the distance, a large flock of birds and finches wandered, their cries were panicked and mournful, and they could not return to their nests.

In a certain camp of the Tang Army, Li Ye looked at the sunset that gradually disappeared behind the mountain, and his eyes were cloudy.

Today is the thirty-fifth day of the army's attack on the defense line of Mulu City. The Tiger Guards and Yulin Army fought bravely, and after paying the price of certain casualties, they captured Huoxun City and Huluo City as scheduled before the 25th. Then the army advanced in full force, uprooting the thirteen other fortresses on the periphery of Mulu City, and then began to storm Mulu City.

During this period, Mullen made several attempts to block the Tang army's offensive, and he did cause a lot of trouble to the Tang army. King Qi and Da Shao Si ordered to take the great monks, although they could delay him for a while, but after all, they still couldn't really stop him, and a large part of the casualties of the Chang'an Forbidden Army were caused by him.

But this did not fundamentally slow down the pace of the Tang army's offensive, because Mullen did not make many shots, and he did not fight desperately.

After the Chang'an Forbidden Army returned to the army, Ma Lun couldn't help the army with famous generals, and he also tried to kill the Great Monks, but under the fierce attack on the city by the towns of the Chang'an Forbidden Army, he had to turn back to help the Great Food Army.

Mullen is alone, so his full strength of the battle can't last a month.

As a result, the fighting was at a stalemate.

Now, the Tiger Guard Army and the Yulin Army's offensive against Mulu City has lasted for 17 days. There are still 120,000 Great Food Guards in the city, and with their fortified cities and tight defensive offensives, they have caused a lot of trouble to the Tiger Guards and Yulin Army some time ago, making the latter's progress slow.

But as the battle progressed, the crossbow attacks of the Tiger Guards and the Yulin Army on Mulu City had already damaged most of the fortifications of Mulu City, and also caused heavy casualties to the Great Food Guards. Seeing that Mulu City has lost a lot of combat power, in today's battle, Mullen finally made a strong move after many days.

This time, Ma Lun did his best, so he also brought far better losses to the Tiger Guards and Yulin Army.

"We can't stop him, and the real people have suffered a lot of losses, if today's battle situation continues for a few more days, the Great Monk will suffer heavy losses, and the Tiger Guard Army and the Yulin Army will not be able to plan everything. When King Qi came to Li Ye's side, there was a blood stain on her shoulder, and the injury was not light.

Li Ye only bowed his head slightly, and did not say anything about it, he saw what the situation of today's battle was.

In the Tiger Guards and the Yulin Army, the Guards fought hard to attack the fortress, and the Guards resisted hardship. When many city walls were captured, Mullen fought out of the city, and the sword was all over the city, countless forbidden monks were killed, and the Tiger Guards and Yulin Army were forced to retreat and form a formation.

King Qi and Da Shao Si ordered to lead a team of elite real people to break through the half-empty battlefield of the Great Monk's melee and go to stop Ma Lun. Although the three of them fought hard, they couldn't stop Ma Lun's sword, and in a short time, many real people died on the spot, and King Qi and Da Shao Si were also in critical condition.

When the Tiger Guard Army and the Yulin Army were basically completed, King Qi and the others retreated and withdrew from the battlefield.

In the past, when it came to such a time, Malen would choose to retreat, but today, on the one hand, he did not care about the magic cannon, and was hit and wounded again and again, and he also led the priests to pursue the great monks such as King Qi;

The result is self-evident, the Tang Dynasty monk suffered heavy losses, and the Great Monk of Great Food was bent on pursuing and fighting because of his courage, and under the repeated bombardment of the magic artillery, he also paid a lot of price, and even Malen was not comfortable.

But with Mullen here, the results of the Great Food Monk far outweigh the losses. The magic cannon can't make up for the gap.

"If Mullen continues to fight in the same state as today, according to my calculations, in five days, our Grand Monk will be too badly defeated to fight the Great Monk in mid-air, and thus lose the air supremacy you often say.

"At that time, without the protection of the Great Monk, the offensive of the Yulin Army and the Tiger Guard Army will not be able to sustain, and may even become dangerous. ”

Speaking of this, King Qi gave his own advice, "I think it's time for the Marine Army of the Lingnan Naval Division to join the battlefield." Without them echoing on the flanks, we couldn't open the gap. As long as they go to war, no matter which side Mullen goes to, the other side will be able to make progress.

"After all, the current Great Food Guards are only enough to defend Mulu City, and they can't go anywhere. And although there are many standing armies of the Great Food, with Shangguan Allure and the Wolf Tooth Army in check, they can't cause any big trouble. ”

King Qi's analysis, Li Ye naturally agreed.

In fact, everyone expected this kind of war situation before the war. The solution to the problem is to let the Marine Army of the Lingnan Naval Division join the battlefield and become a decisive force.

And now, the Lingnan Sea Division has also arrived at the predetermined location and can launch an attack at any time.

"Order Yang Xingmi to attack according to the plan!" Li Ye waved his hand and called the military envoy to give the order.

The next day, the Tiger Guard Army and the Yulin Army launched an attack on Mulu City as usual, and at the same time, more than 100 miles away in Tuhuo City, 50,000 Lingnan Sea Division Marine Army, under the leadership of Yang Xingmi, also began to attack the city in the rear direction of Mulu City.

Li Ye still did not leave the barracks, and on a hill with a good view, he watched the rain of crossbows and arrows covering the city. Some of the fortifications that the other side rushed to repair overnight did not last long before they were destroyed by the heavy crossbows of the Tiger Guards and the Yulin Army.

Then the army began to take over the city, and the great monks of both sides were also fighting fiercely in mid-air, and the battle reached a critical stage - when the Tiger Guard Army and the Yulin Army attacked the city, a black pillar of smoke rose into the sky in the city and rushed straight into the formation of the Tang Army's great monks.

None other than Mullen.

Unlike before, Ma Lun did not go to the Tang Army soldiers at the head of the city this time, but led an elite group of monks to advance bravely in the Tang Army's Grand Monk Formation. His cultivation is unmatched, except for a few people such as King Qi, there is almost no enemy under his command, and the strict and orderly formation of the great monks was quickly torn apart by him.

King Qi and Da Shao Si ordered to shoot one after another, the clouds were all over the sky, ten thousand leaves were flying, and Bai Lian was like a dragon, attacking Malen alternately, wanting to have a containment effect.

But today's Ma Lun is different from yesterday, his fighting spirit is more resolute, there is no room for action, half a point regardless of the consumption of spiritual energy, one after another swords are like a hurricane, stirring up the great monks of the real human realm like fallen leaves, making it very difficult for King Qi and others to parry.

Then, he actually fought to bear the injury of two leaf chains flying a piece of flesh and blood in his body, and severely injured King Qi with a knife, causing their zigzag formation to collapse, and then shot down the big young master from mid-air one after another, and finally Jiaolong broke through the crowd of Tang Dynasty monks like going out to sea, and killed straight in the direction where Li Ye was!

"Li Ye, I saw you!" Ma Lun's loud shout was like thunder, reflecting the decisive killing intent.

Now Li Ye's cultivation is in the immortal realm, and the power of the mortal body is only an ordinary real human realm, and he can't take Ma Lun's move.

Li Ye's eyes sank slightly.

He has never been out of the camp, he just doesn't want to be exposed to Mullen's vision, but he didn't expect to be found by the other party now. At this moment, where can Li Ye not react, the few times Ma Lun fought before, he must have been looking for his qi and direction, and today he finally locked it, and he killed it brazenly, leaving no room for it.

Mullen's cultivation is unbalanced in the mortal world, which is the biggest threat to the Tang army.

Because of this threat, Li Ye himself has become the biggest flaw in the Tang Army.

As long as Ma Lun finds Li Ye and kills him strongly, the war will be different.

The great monks who were guarding Li Ye in the camp rose into the air one after another, rushing towards Ma Lun as if they were desperate, but as if the leaf group was blown away by the strong wind, they could not resist Ma Lun's extremely strong attack at the expense of spiritual energy, and they fell from mid-air one after another.

King Qi and Da Shao Si Ming have been seriously injured by Ma Lun, and they have basically lost their combat power, and no one can stop Ma Lun among the monks present.

Ma Lun had already arrived in front of the camp, and Li Ye, who could not escape and did not escape, entered the range of his attack. The great monks who made sporadic shots in the follow-up couldn't get close to him at all, even if they used their flesh and blood to block it, they couldn't get Li Ye out of danger.

Li Ye didn't move, and stood steadily.

"Li Ye, I originally just wanted to guard Mulu City for a few more days, but I didn't expect you to be so careless, I actually noticed your tracks, this is really an unexpected joy, God bless! Today, you can't escape!" Ma Lun's long knife was raised high, and his eyes showed a strong look of madness and pride.

Li Ye could not appear in the barracks, but that would only be more dangerous. Without the protection of the army and the Great Monk, no matter where he goes, if he is discovered by Mullen, he will definitely die. And if too many monks were assigned to protect him, it would undoubtedly greatly weaken the strength of the frontal battlefield.

Since Li Ye appeared near the battlefield, there is a possibility that he will be detected by Ma Lun.

The black gas on Mullen's long knife was like mist, obscuring the sky and the sun, and the wind swept around it, and the aura was like a blade, and even the air emitted a wailing sound similar to being torn apart.

This knife is bound to be earth-shattering.

Li Ye's face was as pale as water, and he was not shocked.

There is not the slightest emotional color, there is not the slightest emotional outpouring.

......

Nissa City, the northeastern town closest to Mulu City. The Crescent monks and supplies gathered here will be the first to rush to the eastern realm of the Great Food and be arranged to the second line of defense demarcated by Mullen.

A few days ago, the chief priest of the Grand Temple, who presided over the implementation of the conscription order here, used the plan of "leading the snake out of the hole" to lead out of some Tang Dynasty works.

In each of the three locations expected by the Crescent Moon Sect, nearly a hundred Tang monks infiltrated late at night, wanting to burn the materials hoarded inside. As a result, there were no surprises, the Tang Dynasty monks failed in their actions, and were attacked by the Crescent Moon Sect, suffering heavy losses.

"Tang Dynasty was very vigilant, we surrounded us very quickly, and our movements were very light, but as soon as we showed up, the other party noticed that something was wrong and wanted to withdraw quickly. Fortunately, we were well manned and prepared, and most of the Tang Dynasty monks in the three warehouses were surrounded and killed by us on the spot, and less than half of them escaped......"

The presiding high priest, Garrigi, laughed with satisfaction after listening to the report of his subordinates.

In three locations, a total of more than 200 Tang Dynasty fine works were killed, including several great monks, which was a good achievement. In its past operations, the Crescent Moon Sect had never killed so many Tang Dynasty Xiaozuo in a single battle. It is conceivable that if the situation is reported to the Great Temple, he will inevitably be rewarded heavily.

"Although the Tang Dynasty has escaped a little, but the casualties are so heavy, there is no ability to do anything in the future, we can rest assured that we will take the monks and materials eastward. Of course, those Tang Dynasty meticulous works also have to be investigated and killed, and this matter will be handed over to the supervision yuan in the city. Gariji made arrangements.

Two days later, Garrigi set out from Nissa City with a large number of monks and supplies and marched east at full speed.
