Section 18 Encounters
Outside Fengxiang City, another Yu army has been prepared and ready to set off at any time, the tall tooth flag flutters in the wind, and the banner of the Fengxiang Festival envoy flutters in the center of the team.
Han Rui was wearing heavy armor and looked at the soldiers who were about to leave. According to the emperor's plan, Pei Du led a part of the soldiers and horses of the Qinwang and the Shence army, totaling more than 10,000 people, set out from Xianyang yesterday and marched westward in the direction of Wugong.
Today, more than 3,000 troops of the Fengxiang Army will also be dispatched, and together with Pei Du, they will form an east-west flank attack on Langdarma.
In fact, Han Rui did not support this strategy very much, because the so-called split attack is actually a very dangerous tactic.
Especially when your total strength is slightly weaker than the enemy.
Although it has endured many setbacks and blows, the strength of the Tibetan army is still about 20,000.
And the elite led by Pei Du is only more than 15,000 people, and as for the Jianghu forces in the south, there is almost no need to consider the impact of these rabble on the battle situation.
In this situation where the enemy forces are superior, it is really easy to be defeated by the Tibetan army.
But the emperor's will is above all else, since Li Xu has made such an arrangement, then it is necessary to follow the emperor's policy. After all, if loyalty is not absolute, it is equivalent to absolute disloyalty.
Li Xu rode on a black horse and chatted with Mo Yusheng and Su Che.
Both the head of Wudang and the Chengtian Sword Sect rode horses and followed the emperor on either side.
The riders holding high the red flag followed behind the emperor, and next to them was the Fengxiang army, which marched east in a long line.
"Does the Sword Sect also need armor?" Li Xu turned his head to Yue Gu Han and asked.
"It's better than nothing," Yue Gu Hanchong was handsome and handsome like a fairy on the side, and Lu Yinxi nodded: "I don't care about any master's temperament. ”
About to face the Tubo army, the Chengtian Sword Sect put a light leather armor on his body.
This armor was specially picked out by Li Xu in the arsenal of the Fengxiang Army, the craftsmanship is exquisite, light and tough, and there is a copper golden ornament on the chest.
When Li Xu was chatting with Mo Yusheng and Su Che just now, he mainly listened to the two young officers raising the bar with each other.
The idle chatter of the officers is inseparable from military affairs, which is nothing more than some swords, armor and horses, or tactical tactics.
The core of the issue of these two is armor, and Mo Yusheng insists that armor has little impact on the outcome of the battle, and the defense provided is very limited, that is, to block a stray arrow.
And Su Che thought that this was because the quality of the armor provided by the ordnance supervisor was not good, and the armor leaves that fooled the big-headed soldiers naturally had no effect, but this did not mean that the armor was not important.
Mo Yusheng went on to point out that under the attack of a master, no matter how good the armor is, it doesn't matter.
And Su Che thinks that there are too few martial arts masters who can ignore armor.
Li Xu listened silently there, this is actually a topic that can always be torn up and can never be argued over.
Generally speaking, martial arts masters and armor are not mixed together.
First of all, according to the decree issued by Dayu Taizu, armor is a military material that is strictly controlled, and no one is allowed to own armor.
If a martial arts master wears armor and duels with others, then he can be used by the other party to use the martial arts competition to strictly prohibit the use of stunts "collusion with the court" to play to death.
Of course, this kind of policy can only be implemented when the imperial court has strong control.
For those who have not practiced hard skills and do not use armor at the same time, they mainly rely on flexible body skills to solve the problem by "dodging".
Just like the two masters of Yue Guhan and Lu Yinxi, the Chengtian Sword Sect chose a nondescript leather plate armor to put on, while Lu Yinxi continued to wear a Taoist robe to play the image of a lonely immortal.
For a grandmaster-level master like Lu Yinxi, the battlefield fight that Mo Yusheng and Su Che are concerned about is actually just child's play.
All he was thinking about now was the other two masters of Vajrayana, Vajrayana and Bukong, where they were now, and what kind of "living Buddhas" of the Yongzhong Bon Sect were.
In Lu Laodao's opinion, the leather armor on Yue Guhan's body was similar to the costume of the puppet opera, and the decoration and performance color outweighed the practical value.
For Vajra Zhi, what role can wearing an armor do? What can be the relationship and hindrance of cleaning up ordinary people and wearing one less armor?
Speaking of which, the kind of method that Intrepid used in the end. Li Xu looked at Lu Yuxi and said, "What kind of name is that?"
The kung fu used by Shan Wudaunt in the end was really a little shocking to Li Xu.
The all-encompassing supernatural scorching heat completely encloses the five senses of sight, hearing, and smell, confusing the senses, and can only feel the indescribable heat around the body.
If it was the sword of the Great Yan of Lu Yuxi and the sword of constancy of Yue Guhan, Li Xu would still be able to understand how these magical tricks had evolved.
But the kind of move that Shan Wudaunting uses is something that Li Xu can't understand, almost magic or illusion, but what it presents is so real, the kind of means that directly interfere with people's consciousness, it really makes Li Xu puzzled.
Li Xu actually really asked the right person, if he asked Yue Gu Han, the Chengtian Sword Sect might not be able to tell the reason.
If you really let Yue Guhan expand it, most of them are still talking about conspiracy theories about Dao Sheng.
Lu Yinxi is the head of Wudang and the head of Xuanmen, and for this kind of means that is almost demonic, it is naturally Menqing.
"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the Chenzhou Fu, the Circle Light Technique?"
The Chenzhou Fu and Yuanguang techniques mentioned by Lu Yinxi are actually popular superstitious techniques among the people.
Chenzhou is the name of the Wuxi region, the so-called Chenzhou Fu is the charm used by the wizards in the Wuxi area, and the Wuxi region has a more famous name in the future, Xiangxi.
Circular light is a kind of illusion that shows fantasy on a blank piece of paper to find lost objects.
Generally speaking, the wizard finds a boy, applies sesame oil and rouge to his hands, and then shows it to the boy, and then it can glow.
At this time, the boy will be able to see where the lost owner's lost items are.
"The so-called Chenzhou Fu and Yuanguang Technique, which sound mysterious, are actually just illusions that confuse ordinary people. Lu Yinxi explained: "There are unscrupulous people in the rivers and lakes who have introduced these illusions into martial arts. ”
As a result, there are a lot of tricks that can confuse people's minds. For example, if there is a person surnamed Huang, he changed a soul dementoring method, and a few words can make people with weak hearts respectfully pursue it, and this kung fu has made the Chinese exclusion worthy of people to learn the legal system, and has caused many people, and it was only eradicated by the righteous path of martial arts decades ago. ”
Of course, Miscellaneous Hair never gives up the opportunity to disgust a bald donkey.
"Many Hu monks, in order to preach and confuse the people, even used this to transform them. Shaolin Temple 72 stunts have a dragon Sanskrit singing, the master of Shaolin Temple said that it is similar to the lion's roar like the sound attack martial arts, in fact, it is used to confuse people's minds. ”
"It is not strange that a demon monk like Shan Wudaunt practiced such an evil method in order to confuse and turn sentient beings upside down. I've heard of the Western Regions, from Dashi to Daqin, where people in the martial arts are obsessed with this kind of martial arts, and they have almost become the mainstream in the martial arts, which is really strange. ”
Li Xu nodded, he originally thought it was so mysterious, but he didn't expect it to be such a road.
I remember that in the martial arts before, there was an elder of the Beggar Gang Pure Clothes Sect who was proficient in such methods, but throughout the whole text, such martial arts are useless except for helping to ask for a few more money.
While he was talking, the scout in front of him came with the news, saying that he had seen the traces of the Tibetan people and horses in the front, and the person who saw the flag should be Shang Dongzan, the minister of Tubo.
Why is he here? Li Xu thought about it for a while, and knew that this was Langdama who was going to run.
Shang Dongzan has suffered a lot, and he is already in the twilight, which can be regarded as a typical example of consciousness that can't keep up with the situation.
Now that he is coming west as a vanguard, it must be that Langdarma has made up his mind to withdraw from the army, so he uses Shang Dongzan's mood to fight the vanguard.
Otherwise, if you arrange Shang Dongzan's men to be the defenders, and you don't need Yu Chao to fight, you will be in chaos first.
"Your Majesty has no last resort. Mo Fei exclaimed: "The last general will let them go." ”
Li Xu had already talked about the situation in front of him, so he was also prepared to deal with it in advance.
"Alright, alright, let's set up the big guys. Li Xu gestured: "Let's fight here." ”
