Because of the people's support of the five prefectures in Pinglu, Li Ye's cultivation was promoted from Level 7 of Qi-refining to the Yin Spiritual Master. Although the fame he got in the battle against Huang Chao also played a role in it, the people's support of the five prefectures obviously weighed a lot. There were more than 300 prefectures in the Tang Empire, so if he could get all people's support, no one would know what degree Li Ye's cultivation would reach.
Early in the morning, on the east bank of the Yellow River, Li Ye stood toward the west, looking at Weibo.
Weibo had been a powerful vassal state since the An-Shi Disturbances. The Weibo commissioner was the general who surrendered to the imperial court in the An-Shi Disturbances, and he was always arrogant. Even during Xuanzong's revival period, the imperial court didn't have the power to appoint and remove the Weibo commissioner. After the previous commissioner died, his son or the one, who
At early dawn, Li Ye came to the river bank. He wasn't riding his horse because his cultivation had reached the Spiritual Master Realm, he no longer needed a horse. Ere dawn, all was blue, the Yellow River was vast and expansive, and the opposite bank was hidden in the fog. None could predict what kind of unknown danger was lurking. Hundreds of soldiers who were preparing to build the bridgehead section of the pontoon were ready and standing before Li Ye. Behind him, there were three thousand elites of Wolf-tooth Troops in a neat formation, and guards were silent with piercingly cold eyes. Even the horses were silent. Every now and then, the odd snort could be heard. And behind them were waves of soldiers which looked like an ocean of armor. Li Ye slowly rose to mid-air, looked askance at the other side of Yellow River. The sound of his command was spreading far and wide like the morning bell and evening drum, "Repair the bridge!"
As far as Cao Xijin could see, the Wolf-tooth Troop's Formation was still neat and their momentum hadn't lost a beat. In actual fact. there weren't much strength left of the Militarism Formation, and they could no longer actuate the power of the "energy wave". Their aggressivity would also decline, but even so, it was still fundamentally different from ordinary Military Formations. Looking back at his own Military Formation, it was scattered and chaotic, and the blanks were not filled in time. The soldiers were all scared and panicking without any fighting spirit. Cao Xijin was very clear that he had already lost, just not completely annihilated yet. But if he continued to fight, even if some of them survive, it would still be like asking for death. "Withdraw! Back to Bozhou!" Cao Xijin roared in a low voice and led the remnant troops to escape the river bank. He was full of confidence when he came, and he thought that Weibo Army was the bes
Cao Xijin closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He felt death approaching. He knew that death was coming, but he couldn't do anything but wait. This feeling made him crazy. Li Ye could have captured Bozhou City earlier, but he just wanted to leave it alone and use it as bait to catch more of the Weibo Army... This kind of behavior was really hateful, which made Cao Xijin completely lose his dignity. As a leading general, he was humiliated to the extreme. Cao Xijin squinted his eyes and pointed at Li Ye in the air. He yelled at this life and death enemy, "Li Ye, you are a chaotic thief. Today, even if you conquer Bozhou, my father will also avenge me! You go against the trend of the times and rise to war, but in the end, you will die! The King of Longxi is helping Weizhou County, and you can't win! If you are smart, you'd just run back to Pinglu..." The voice of Cao Xijin stopped abruptly, and the shadow flashed in front of him. Then, he fe
When Cao Zhongming looked up and screamed in pain, Cao Xijin could no longer maintain his composure. He only had time to bow his upper body and growled, "I'm an unworthy son!" Then his body buckled and crumpled on the ground. All was silent. Cao Zhongming held Cao Xijin in his arms and watched him die. He could do nothing. His face was gradually distorted and his features were huddled together. The Spiritual Qi in his body was agitated. He could hardly control the power of his cultivation, which was oppressing the people around him. Everyone around him fell to the ground from the pressure. "Military Commander! Li Ye has gone too far. We will follow Military Commander and fight till our last gasp of breath!" A general added. "Li Ye has gone completely mad. He has no humanity left. Military Commander, we should join forces with the Longxi Prince!" An advisor suggested. Cao Zhongming just barely kept his emotions in check and aske
Cao Zhongming's eyes were bloodshot, and he found it difficult to breathe. This was not only because Li Ye was strangling him, but also the Spiritual Qi was everywhere in his body. It was out of control, and his organs were all damaged. His injury was aggravated every moment, and the meridians might break at any time. His cultivation evaporated. Cao Zhongming looked at Li Ye like looking at a ghost, full of fright. He originally thought that if his cultivation reached the Spiritual Master Realm, he would be able to fight with Li Ye, and his Weibo Army was strong enough to defeat Pinglu Army. However, he did not expect that the Weibo Army would be defeated first, and now he himself was suppressed facilely by Li Ye. If one hadn't been hit by Li Ye's previous palm attack, one would not know the power and strength of it. At this moment, Cao Zhongming already had no fighting spirit because if Li Ye was only a little stronger than him, he would be jealous and w
The capital of Zhaoyi was Luzhou. The news that the entire Weibo was occupied by the Pinglu Army, reached them long ago. These days, the Zhaoyi commissioner, Kang Chengqian, who had been paying close attention to the battle situation at Weibo, was in constant discussion for the solution to this matter, with his trusted advisors and generals. Unlike Cao Zhongming, the general who rose from an army, Kang Chengqian had a scholar's background, so he was less domineering and more like a middle-aged Confucian scholar. He looked at the advisors in the hall with a sad expression on his face, and said worriedly, "Prince An has assembled a large army in Weizhou, and he will soon arrive at Zhaoyi. The messenger of Prince of Longxi has arrived at the mansion. What should Zhaoyi do? Under these circumstances, feel free to tell me what you think." This issue had been discussed many times, at different times, and all the advisers held different views. In t
There were four people either sitting or standing on the roof of the political hall. They were as leisure as if they were watching the moon. However, in the commissioner's mansion, the servants, the maids, and the sentries in the public or in the dark seemed not to see these four people, as if they didn't exist at all. The fresh breeze blew gently. Their clothes didn't move, but their hair fluttered slightly. Sitting on the cornices and swinging his legs, the Son of God said to Li Ye boringly, "I didn't expect that these people would recognize the reality. I'm wondering if the old man who was talking is your spy." Li Ye leisurely looked at the moon with his hands clasped behind his back. If he could have a pot of wine, that would be perfect. He said faintly, "I was wondering just now if your men had bewitched him with magic." The Son of God suddenly jumped up, pointing to Li Ye, and shouted exaggeratedly, "Oh, you have found ou
It rained heavily. The rain covered everything, and it sounded like waves and tides. Clatter! Buckskin boots were heavily stepped into the puddles in the mud. The muddy water splashed on all sides, leaving a hollow shallow pit. Then, it was quickly covered by muddy water again. On the official road, five swordsmen buried themselves in black rushing through the rain quickly, the mud at their feet splashing. They were in a hurry and looked back from time to time. Blood kept oozing from their clothes soaked by the rain, running down their bodies with the rain. The person in the middle wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat was a middle-aged man with a tough look on his face. Covering his chest, he looked pale, but he never looked back. He kept gritting his teeth and staring ahead, with hate and eagerness in his eyes. North was ahead, and Hedong was in the north. He was on the way home, but he might not be able to r
Seeing the steep appearance of the black rhinoceros elite cavalry of the Returning Righteousness Army, Buddha Zi was already very shocked, and when he realized that a large swathe of cultivators were in black, stepping on the rolling yellow sands and rolling towards Yangguan, his eyes were about to stare out.He knew that Dunhuang's Returning Righteousness Army, could possibly support Yangguan, but those 5,000 light cavalry yesterday afternoon were already the limit of the troops he thought Zhang Huaishen could mobilize.The reason why he was so sure of this was because before initiating the Battle of Yangguan, the Sect of Release had already secretly contacted Sohun and said that they would work together inside and outside.Originally, this matter seemed redundant to Buddha Zi, who didn't think that the tiny Yang Guan, with a mere 10,000 generals, could hold back his army of 50,000 cultivators. In Buddha Zi's view, this is completely flat to give Suo Xun a rich an
The remaining sun was like blood, but it spread a layer of golden radiance to the inside and outside of the Yangguan.Off the wall below has been a bloody piece, almost can not see the rammed earth and yellow sand, not to mention the flow of blood in the body, only hanging in the female wall of broken limbs, broken everywhere in the bowels of the intestines, doubly so shocking. With this layer of gold rendering, even showed a few points of holy meaning.It was a pity that the sun set in the twinkling of an eye, and when countless fires appeared inside and outside of the Pass Wall, the bursting aura light clusters, flashing sword aura blade lights, overflowing colorful auras, and countless warriors running and fighting in either bright or dark light, with shadows and shapes like ghosts, set off the dilapidated and majestic Pass City as a ghost city.Li Ye knew the battle wouldn't last much longer.The monk regiment has been killed and wounded more than half, t
The reason why he told Suo Zhang's this, Suo Xun's purpose was clear to gain his wife's understanding and support. After all, Suo Zhang was Zhang Yichao's daughter, and her prestige among the Zhang family members was not low.This is something that Sohun has been doing all along and has basically been confirmed, if not, he wouldn't be telling his wife this right now, but would have imprisoned her instead. To emphasize it again right now as the big event is being unleashed will help to strengthen his wife's morale.Putting on his armor, Sohun came to the council chamber.The dignified subordinates and staff in the residence had already waited for many things, and his close generals in the army, including some of the Guazhou-based Returned Army Provisioners Great Cultivators of the Real Life Realm had also been notified to rush over.Launching a mutiny and mastering the Returning Righteous Army was a major event that Suo Xun had been planning and preparing for
Seeing that the Buddha son had gone berserk, the monks began to attack Yangguan regardless of the casualties, countless cultivators of the high qi practicing stage swooped down to the place where the turquoise blue star feathers were emanating from, and Zhang Huaishen went to work with arranging for the good fighters in the Returning Righteousness Army to start a battle-within-a-battle with the opposing side around the magic weapon bed and crossbow formations after he had reported a word to Li Ye."The magic weapon bed crossbow is indeed an unrivaled weapon in the sand, if the number can be doubled, the range will be able to cross-cover all the open space in front of the pass, and as far as defending the city is concerned, the Tang army can be invincible. This kind of artifact, is really unbelievable!" Chu Nanhuai was overwhelmed with emotion.This statement of his kept the crowd nodding.Li Ye, however, did not comment.No matter what kind of world, the impr
Seeing Zhang Huaishen and the great cultivators behind him, the Ming King immediately changed his face and screamed out in a dark voice, all of a sudden his fighting spirit was completely gone and he drew himself up and was about to fly away, while at the same time shouting sharply to the other Vajra Realm great cultivators, "Stop him!"Li Ye would not let him have his way, activating his Step by Step Sword Style to cut down the several Vajra Realm members in his way, and unfolding his stance to hurriedly chase after the Ming King.Some of the surrounding Vajra Realms were confronted head-on by Zhang Huai Shen and the others, and had no choice but to catch and fight with them, while the other part hurriedly chased after Li Ye from the two flanks in order to cope with the Ming King.Seeing that there were still two Vajra Realm high ranks in front of him blocking the way, and that the Ming King was fleeing so fast that he was about to arrive behind the Monk Corps For
Li Ye's aura had been consumed so much that he was left with 30% to 40% of it, and if the Sect of Release was ruthless, he would only have enough to sustain a battle.But the truth was, he couldn't spell out all of his aura, or else there wouldn't even be any room for him to get away.The situation was already very difficult at this point, and Li Ye was still about to face the situation of being at the end of his rope no matter how much he saved.Thinking about it, the next battle could only focus on relying on the power of the magic weapon bed crossbow.With this in mind, he called Peng Zushan over and asked him if he could further refine the use of the magic weapon bed crossbow to make it more useful.Peng Zushan said bitterly, "Your Highness, not to mention boosting the power of the magecraft bed crossbows, it's good that they can still be used in the next battle. In this battle just now, two of the ten mana bed crossbows broke, one was destroyed by
Quantitatively speaking, the deaths and injuries of thousands of monk soldiers did not have an essential impact on the monk corps, at least the white sea of them running towards the Yang Pass wall once again was still so turbulent and surging that they could not be seen at a glance.Between battles, Peng Zushan ran up to Li Ye, red-faced and stammering, and asked if King An could repel a few more attacks from the thief vultures if he had the chance, so that they could do a few more siege impacts, and the magical weapon bed crossbows on the barrier wall, and the various magical weapon bows that they had modified, would be able to play a greater role.Because the magic weapon bed crossbow had just been equipped, their previous estimation of the power and range of the bow was inadequate, the placement was flawed, and there were shortcomings in the crossbow's cross-coverage, leaving room for improvement in the lethality inflicted on large-scale siege armies.Now after
As soon as the sword style was activated, Li Ye's figure disappeared into thin air, and the thirty-odd Vajra Realm members simultaneously felt a chill go straight to their heads, as if they were falling into an abyss. That was the sign of extreme danger descending, and they couldn't help but all change their colors drastically.The leader of the monks just roared "disperse", just to see in front of the companions of several people neck blood spray, round head spinning flying into mid-air, no matter how hard the following words, can not say a word.Suddenly he found his vision spinning in the sky, as towering towers, crumbling walls, tidal waves of monks, blue skies, and even a white-gold sun slipped past his eyes one after another. Finally his sight returned to his companions, and he saw that they were looking at him in the same way that he had looked at the monks whose heads were suddenly flying across the room.Steeply, he noticed that a headless body that was be
The siege began suddenly, 50,000 monks and soldiers holding Zen staffs, dharma swords, shields and other blades and weapons, the rising tide of the sea like a violent sweep towards the pass; the siege began logically, because they had gathered outside the pass for a long enough time, and the generals and soldiers of the army of the Returning Righteousness at the head of the pass had long since finished preparing for the battle.Long days of winter sunshine, the four fields of sunshine, rolling smoke and dust at the feet of the monks and soldiers who could not see the edge of the sea, wave after wave tumbling up, this is the yellow sea of mud and sand, without half an exaggeration.The gateway trembled, a fine dust swirled up half an inch from the rammed earth walls, and a wisp of fine sand poured down.In the trembling is not only the Yangguan, the land outside the same, neat footsteps over the sound of war drums, as if a burst of thunder, Wood a face will be throu
