Seeing that the Dayong army was coming at full speed, the sky was densely covered with arrows, and he couldn't get an order, a cadre of generals of the barbarian tribe collectively retreated under the forest. And at this moment, I secretly found that the order could not be transmitted, and saw that the barbarian army was gradually withdrawing, and a clear and beautiful figure also left from there.

Although the Dayong army has archers to attack from a distance, the speed of the barbarians is far from being comparable to the Dayong army, and it takes time for the archers to prepare the arrow array, so it was not long before the barbarian army had escaped from the range of the bow and arrows.

Looking at the barbarian army that was getting farther and farther away, Li Xiaoyi could only reluctantly order the whole army to stop pursuing. Brought to the place before returning, Li Xiaoyi immediately reorganized his army and left quickly to prevent the barbarian army from coming back.

Not long after the withdrawal of the army, Vice General Li led the retreating army of the nearby level to gather. However, when the barbarians came, Li Xiaoyi did not discuss the responsibility with the former Northern Expeditionary army on the spot, but arrived at the nearest city first and settled the army.

Retreating to the city and confirming the safety, Li Xiaoyi was the first to find Li Jingxiao, and with the previous questions, he asked Li Jingxiao: "Prince, I don't know what you said before is not so simple, what do you mean?"

"Isn't there anything the marshal can't think of?"

Asked by Li Jingxiao, Li Xiaoyi sighed and did not answer, but continued to ask: "If someone in the palace wants to target you, then I don't know what the prince will do?"

"If people don't offend me, I don't offend people, if they want me to die, then staying will be a disaster, I don't want to do this, but it doesn't mean that I won't do this. Li Jingxiao had no intention of this world in his heart, especially after learning about the vastness of this world from the sword soul, Li Jingxiao did not take this so-called Dayong Heavenly Dynasty in his heart. But this is just that, Li Jingxiao has no intention of doing this, but if someone wants to target him and Concubine Hua for this, then he will not be the slightest soft.

Although Li Xiaoyi is worried in his heart, but it is not very profound, he is an absolute cronie of Li Xiaotian's side, the question just now is just to ask on behalf of Li Xiaotian, after learning Li Jingxiao's answer, he will only pass it back, as long as he is worried, it is only Li Xiaotian's business.

After asking this, Li Xiaoyi didn't care about this matter, and asked instead: "What does the prince think of the barbarian tribe?"

"The barbarian tribe is naturally good at fighting, but they are not resourceful enough, there must be a person with extremely high wisdom behind them, otherwise no matter how strong their strength is, it is impossible to break through more than ten cities in our dynasty in such a short period of time. ”

After Li Jingxiao analyzed, Li Xiaoyi continued: "It's exactly the same as what your subordinates think, and this person's ability should be above your subordinates, with such a group of people who don't have any military training, they can play at such a level, and your subordinates think they can't do it." ”

Li Jingxiao knew some of the inside stories, so he naturally understood a little deeper than Li Xiaoyi, so he comforted Li Xiaoyi: "The marshal does not need to be arrogant, it is good that the other party is capable, but whether it is above the marshal remains to be discussed? If the marshal has his means, presumably the marshal can also do this." ”

"Means? What kind of means would that man have to be able to play such a role on the battlefield?"

"A means of quietly transmitting one's own commands. ”

As soon as Li Jingxiao's words came out, Li Xiaoyi began to think about something, although Li Jingxiao did not explain it, and it was impossible to explain it to Li Xiaoyi, but Li Xiaoyi still understood something in Li Jingxiao's words, and also understood what Li Jingxiao meant.

The two talked about this, and the voice of Vice General Li suddenly came from outside the door, saying that all the generals of the former Northern Expedition had gathered and gathered outside the door.

Hearing the sound outside, Li Jingxiao said to the school: "The outside affairs will be handed over to the marshal, I want to think carefully about the next strategy." ”

"Obey the order, there is Prince Lao. After saying that, Li Xiaoyi retreated.

Immediately afterwards, Li Jingxiao did not waste any time, and directly asked in his mind: "Is there any way to enhance the combat effectiveness of our army?"

Hearing the voice, the sword soul immediately appeared and replied, "I knew that you would ask this, and I had prepared it for you a long time ago." ”

"What is it?" Li Jingxiao chuckled and asked happily.

"Battle Formation!"

"Battle Formation?" Hearing the method of the Sword Soul, Li Jingxiao showed a puzzled expression on his face and asked, "The battle formation can indeed enhance the strength of the adult, but the existing battle formation now has no effect, do you have a better battle formation?"

"Of course, how could I tell you. After Li Jingxiao finished speaking, the Sword Soul responded confidently, "Actually, it's not appropriate to say that this is a battle array, because he himself is a lore array, and he needs many people to join forces to set up the formation, but he knows that you need it, so this Sword Soul has changed it a little, so that the conditions for its activation have been reduced a lot." ”

"How much has the power been reduced?" Li Jingxiao then asked, hearing the point.

"If you are dealing with an army of 200,000 barbarians, you only need 400,000 and you can be sure of a great victory. ”

"That's enough, now let's talk about what preparations the big array needs. Knowing this, Li Jingxiao said with a smile.

"There are too many people, how to change the formation, in order to ensure the power of the big array, no matter what, at least ten people from the innate stage and a thousand people from the acquired stage are needed. As for the rest of the needs of the big array, give it to this sword soul. ”

Subsequently, after the sword soul directly transmitted all the news of the great array to Li Jingxiao through the soul, Li Jingxiao re-ordered a new name for this battle array, called the Heavenly Punishment Killing Battle Array.

After conceiving the rough plan in the room alone, Li Jingxiao invited Li Xiaoyi in, saw that his rough plan was explained to Li Xiaoyi, and told Li Xiaoyi about the Heavenly Punishment Battle Array.

Knowing that this battle array was only based on Li Jingxiao's description, Li Xiaoyi vaguely felt the power and murderous aura of the big array, and suddenly a strong sense of shock rose in his heart.

"Was this battle formation created by the prince?" Although he knew that this was disrespectful, Li Xiaotian finally couldn't help the shock in his heart.

"Can't I have such an ability?" "Creating such a battle formation with the power of one person is still shocking enough on this continent, but if it is said that this is a formation outside this continent, either no one believes it, or it will only cause a greater sensation, and anyway, at the age of eleven, he already has the strength of the peak of the middle innate stage, and he doesn't care about going against the sky.

"His Majesty is guilty and does not dare to doubt the prince. "This time, Li Xiaoyi really surrendered to Li Jingxiao's feet, he couldn't study such a battle formation even if he spent his whole life, and he never thought of such a method of gathering everyone's strength.

The task was given to Li Xiaoyi, who left immediately, prepared candidates, and all the people selected were carefully checked and determined. Li Xiaoyi didn't want to make such trouble, but it was Li Jingxiao who presided over the big array this time, and there could be no mistakes.

had to rehearse the big formation, so for a month, Li Xiaoyi has been leading the army to hold the city and has not taken the initiative to attack once. During this period, after the barbarian army had rested enough, they launched several attacks on the city. However, due to Li Xiaoyi's guard, the barbarians could not achieve any benefits, and in several times, both sides had their own victories and defeats, but the city has been stubbornly defended.

After a month, under the personal supervision and leadership of Li Jingxiao, the battle formation was already proficient and thorough. It has been delayed for a month, and Li Jingxiao doesn't want to confirm it repeatedly, so he ordered Li Xiao and his troops to attack the barbarian tribe.

Walking on the road, Li Xiao, who had never asked about the war, reported back: "It is understood that before we came, the barbarian army was divided into several cities, and after our army arrived, the barbarian army gathered all the troops here, totaling 220,000 people. ”

"Two hundred and twenty thousand people, I remember that the news that came back at the beginning of the barbarian army was only less than 250,000 people, and now there are still 220,000 people!"

"The original Northern Expeditionary Army was indeed too incompetent, but during this time, because of heavy losses, the barbarians transferred more than 30,000 people from their tribes. Hearing Li Jingxiao's dissatisfied voice, Li Xiaoyi immediately explained.

"I see, well, let's not mention that for now. Let's move on to what's ahead. ”

"The barbarian army gathered here and completely abandoned the city over there, which means that as long as we break through this city and defeat the barbarian army here, then we can take back all the cities in one sentence. ”

After listening to Li Xiaoyi's narration, Li Jingxiao immediately asked: "Completely give up those cities?" It's no wonder, after all, the number of clan tribes is less than half of the number of people in our city, and if you want to control the city with many spikes, you can't cope with it at all, if I were them, I would also withdraw the resources inside after collecting them, wait for the next wave of resources to enter it, and then start a war." ”

"But there is still one thing that your subordinates don't understand. Why don't the barbarians occupy the land, with their strength, there is absolutely no problem in controlling a city. ”

Li Jingxiao was also asked this time, and after thinking about it, he replied uncertainly: "This point is a mystery to us. After all, we are not them, and we do not understand their beliefs. ”

When the Dayong army arrived, in the city occupied by the barbarians, all the generals gathered, and the leader was indeed a woman, this woman did not have the characteristics of the barbarian tribe, but there was indeed the blood of the barbarian tribe, or it was purer than their blood.

These people gathered here, constantly listening to the news from the spies in front, after learning that Dayong had gathered 1.2 million troops to attack them, many generals were in an uproar, and some of them asked the woman sitting on the high seat: "Patriarch, why don't we evacuate, although we are not afraid of Dayong, but if we start a large-scale war with them, our people will definitely suffer heavy losses, and we can't afford this loss." ”
