Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Reconquest
However, when the battle formation on Li Jingxiao's side was formed, Li Xiaoyi and Deputy Marshal He both got the signal and began to withdraw the army and converge towards that side. Li Jingxiao had given the order before, since there were only 100,000 troops outside the city, it would be like solving the 100,000 horses. And if this side is up at that time, the defenders in the city will definitely go out of the city to rescue, and they will need to intercept it at that time, and they must hold on until the 100,000 troops inside are not a threat.
The speed of the barbarian tribe is undeniably fast, but Dayong had already agreed before, and the 800,000 troops besieging the city rushed to Li Jingxiao's side with 400,000 people in advance.
When the barbarian army rushed to Li Jingxiao's side, the 400,000 army had already set up a battle formation.
Mu Yunzi looked at the 400,000 army blocking him in front of him, his eyes showed a solemnity that he had never seen before, knowing that he was despising the Dayong army too much this time. However, there were still 100,000 of his compatriots trapped in the formation in front of him, and the aura released by the large array carried a thick bloody aura every moment. In this case, for every minute of waiting, hundreds of people would die in the battle array, and the barbarians could not afford such losses.
So far, the 120,000 troops in the city have suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and now there are still 110,000 troops left to participate in the battle. However, only these 110,000 troops, when they charged, were not inferior to the 400,000 troops defending in front.
In the end, the army of more than 400,000 people could not even wipe out the 10,000 people of the barbarian tribe, and relying on the defense of the 400,000 army alone, Li Jingxiao did not expect to be able to stop it.
As the 110,000 army of the barbarian clan advanced more and more, the 400,000 army defending in front suddenly operated according to a certain trajectory, and the movement was exactly the same as Li Jingxiao's previous arrangement, which was really the trajectory of the Heavenly Punishment Battle Array.
At this moment, Li Xiaoyi led the remaining 200,000 troops under his command to arrive, and looking at the operation of the 400,000 troops in charge of defense in front, Vice General Li said worriedly: "Marshal, can this stop the barbarian army? If they launch a charge, they will not be able to stop them with 400,000 men alone." ”
The experience of being chased and beaten by the barbarians is still vivid, and Vice General Li still has palpitations and timidity on his face.
Li Xiaoyi looked at Vice General Li beside him, then looked in the direction where Li Jingxiao was, and said: "The barbarian clan can't afford to gamble, if it's true, they will be wiped out here." And in their eyes, even if it is fake, they will think it is true to the greatest extent. ”
After speaking, he sighed secretly in his heart: "The prince can have such a clear insight into the situation of the barbarian tribe when he first contacts the barbarian tribe, even if he knows that the prince is talented, it is really amazing, it feels too unreal, I hope those people in the palace can recognize the facts and choose to regress." ”
Getting closer and closer to the battlefield, Li Xiaoyi put away what he was thinking, and issued various orders, so that the officers and men in the army could prepare for a vicious battle that would appear at any time.
As the 400,000 army put on the formation of the Heavenly Punishment Killing Battle Array, Mu Yunzi, who led the barbarian army, asked the army to stop with a tangled face. Although I thought that this was most likely the other party's delaying plan, I didn't dare to gamble.
Mu Yunzi was sure that he didn't dare to gamble with the remaining 110,000 people, so he decisively ordered to withdraw and fled towards the depths of the mountain where the barbarian clan was rooted.
At the speed of the barbarians, only the cavalry in the Dayong army can be superior, and the cavalry in the army that came to conquer the barbarians is only one-tenth, plus the original northern expeditionary army, the total number of cavalry is only 200,000. Now gathered here, there are only more than 100,000 horses who can go to pursue, and if these people are used to pursue the 110,000 army of the barbarian tribe, it is tantamount to going to die.
After Li Xiaoyi led an army of 200,000 to arrive, he looked at the figure of the barbarian army far away, and asked the army to stop and defend to prevent the barbarian army from killing a horse gun with one heart.
Looking at the Dayong army that was in position behind him, Mu Yunzi knew that he had a plan at the moment, and he didn't dare to lead the army back.
A few hours later, the results of the battle array have come out, Li Jingxiao did not see the other side completely annihilated, after exterminating more than 60,000 people, Dayong's 370,000 army will be exhausted and the remaining 30,000 barbarian remnants are all captured.
The battle array over there was lifted, and Li Xiaoyi couldn't help but look for Li Jingxiao first. Seeing that Li Jingxiao was fine, he let go of his hanging heart, and then roughly looked at the results of the battle, and exclaimed: "The prince is really talented, and with a loss of 30,000, he defeated the enemy's 100,000 army in one fell swoop. ”
"There is nothing to praise, the talent of the barbarians is too strong, although we only lost more than 30,000 people, but we have dispatched 400,000 troops, and the remaining 800,000 troops are not completely sure that they can stop the other 100,000 troops of the barbarians. ”
Although a major victory has been achieved, Li Jingxiao has not relaxed in the slightest, the barbarian tribe still has an army of 100,000, and what kind of people exist behind it, everything is still unclear, how dare Li Jingxiao relax.
"What the prince said is good, but we won this battle. ”
"Well, indeed. Can you determine their location now?" The battle had passed, and Li Jingxiao had little interest in continuing to talk, and then asked.
"According to the prince's intentions, spies have been set up on their way back to the clan in advance, so we just need to sit back and wait for news. ”
"That's fine, after this battle, although the barbarians are not a small threat, but as long as we are cautious, they will not be able to set off much storm, so the rest of the matter will be left to the marshal. ”
After Li Jingxiao finished speaking, he went to his carriage and continued his cultivation journey. According to the words of the sword soul, if you don't reach the innate peak, the next step can't be carried out.
Li Jingxiao returned to the carriage, and Li Xiaoyi immediately organized an army of one million and chased it in the direction where the last 100,000 troops of the barbarian tribe had left. Along the way, under the guidance of the constant news from the spies, they pursued step by step.
However, the marching speed of the barbarian tribe is far from being comparable to that of Dayong's army, so although Dayong is in hot pursuit, the distance between the two is getting bigger and bigger. However, even if they couldn't pursue it, the barbarian army didn't know what was happening, and abandoned all the cities along the way, heading straight for their base camp deep in the mountains.
Time passed, and the barbarian army had already retreated to the body. Soon after, Li Xiaoyi also led the army to the place of the border fortress, and after letting the army stay in place, Li Xiaoyi personally led a pair of men and horses to venture out of the city and inspect the edge of the mountain range.
On the way to this side, Li Jingxiao has been in the process of cultivation, allowing the sword soul to always pay attention to whether there are any marks left by Mo Shiqing around.
After waiting all the way, Li Jingxiao didn't gain anything, but when he arrived at the border city, the sword soul suddenly sent out the news that he found the mark of Jingxiao Palace in the city, but he was not sure if it was left by Mo Shiqing.
Li Jingxiao is also unsure, but for this reason, Li Jingxiao still wants to take a risk.
After the decision was made, Li Jingxiao gave up cultivation and waited for Li Xiaoyi to come back. Knowing that Li Jingxiao had been waiting for him, when he returned to the city, Li Xiaoyi hurried to the City Lord's Mansion to meet Li Jingxiao.
Entering the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Xiaoyi took the lead in asking Li Jingxiao, who was sitting on it and waiting, "The prince waits for his subordinates and doesn't know what's going on?"
"Now that the barbarians have fled into the mountains, we have not completed the orders given on our bodies, so we are looking for the marshal to determine the next move. ”
"What are the prince's plans?" asked Li Xiaoyi.
"There are no other plans yet, but there is only one purpose in the future, that is, to find out where the barbarians are, and I believe that this is why the marshal ventured out of the city today. ”
"What the prince said is good, but his ministers have nothing to gain when they go out of the city today. ”
As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking, Li Jingxiao immediately said: "Since there is no harvest, then we need to go further, otherwise we will only give them time to breathe if we keep working here." ”
"Then what's the prince's next plan?"
"I wanted to go into the mountains and see what was going on inside. ”
"No, we only have very little situation in the mountains, and the danger of entering rashly is too great, how can we let the prince take this risk?" Li Jingxiao's voice came out, and Li Xiaoyi immediately retorted.
Li Jingxiao knew that Li Xiaoyi would definitely refute it, so when he spoke, the Shang Fang sword given by Li Xiaotian appeared in front of Li Xiaoyi.
Looking at the sacred sword in Li Jingxiao's hand, Li Xiaoyi was entangled for a while and hesitated for a while, but finally said firmly: "Even if the saint is here, he will definitely not let the prince take such a big risk, and his subordinates will never agree to the prince entering the mountain." ”
"Okay, I've made up my mind, this time I'm just here to inform the marshal, here I am holding the sword of Shang Fang is the supreme commander, if you are not satisfied, you can return to the saint and let the saint come up to restrict my actions. ”
Li Jingxiao originally wanted to have a good talk with Li Xiaoyi, but at that moment, the sword soul suddenly sent back the news, saying that he had also seen the mark left by the Martial Arts League in the city. The situation was critical, and Li Jingxiao didn't want to continue wasting time, so he had to use his identity to suppress Li Xiaoyi.
Seeing that Li Xiao had nothing to say, Li Jingxiao immediately rushed out, took ten people with Xiaoda, and left decisively.
Li Xiaoyi, who was helpless in the hall, knew that he couldn't stop Li Jingxiao, so he secretly sent a master of the innate stage to follow him to ensure that he could fully protect Li Jingxiao's safety. In addition, Lee Hyo-il then immediately transmitted the news back to the DPRK and China, reported it to Lee Hyo-tian, and asked him to make an idea.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Li Jingxiao immediately asked the Sword Soul in his mind, "Can you find out who are the people who left the Martial Dao Alliance mark in the city?"
"It's impossible, these marks have been left for a while, and the aura of the people of the Martial Dao Alliance is not special, it is impossible to find their location, and now they can only wait for them to appear. ”
