Li Cunjin had been seriously injured by Shangguan Qingcheng as soon as he showed up. His combat force was gone, and the power of the military formation behind him was significantly reduced.
In the case that the military formation was intact, it was almost impossible to hurt the warriors. The combat between Shangguan Qingcheng and Li Cunjin seemed to be a fight between them, but it was also a battle between two military formations. Li Cunjin's injury and failure signified that he and his military formation had been suppressed and defeated by Shangguan Qingcheng and her military formation.
After Li Cunjin was severely wounded, Shangguan Qingcheng led the Wolf-tooth Troop to invade the other's military formation.
As a military general, Shangguan Qingcheng used the strategy based on the military formation -- "Continuous Tides." In an instant, the soldiers were covered with brilliance, to urge the entire military formation to break up and defeat
Only among the frontier guards, were there military warriors due to the frequent wars. In the Central Plains, there would be military warriors only amid civil strives. That was when the soldiers came out to participate in the fight for the throne. The Hedong Army, led by Li Keyong, was modeled after the Northern Army, notably the Shatuo Army. They went on rampages all year round, fought against the imperial army during the reign of Qianfu, and then participated in the settlement of Huang Chao. Under his command, there were not only military warriors but also military generals. Based on war experience, only Zhu Wen, who experienced eight years of the Huang Chao Uprising and incessantly fought north and south, was qualified to be compared with him. Thus it could be seen that the Pinglu Army, which only went on a campaign during the Huang Chao Uprising, was of little importance. Since the demise of Xuanzong and the Last Emperor acceded, civil s
His advisors' words were reasonable. After hearing that, Li Keyong slowly nodded and looked better. As long as Li Cunxiao could defeat Liu Dazheng and arrive in Qinzhou City, the situation would indeed be as his advisors said. Li Keyong looked around and glanced at the Grand Guardians, saying coldly, "If you can be enterprising and reach the realm of the military general like the 13 Grand Guardians, Qinzhou City won't get into trouble." Many generals, who heaved sighs of relief, felt ashamed. Being criticized by Li Keyong thus, they felt embarrassed and humiliated. Some people blushed deeply and immediately pleaded to get out of town to fight against the Pinglu Army. Li Keyong felt satisfied that he managed to boost their morale. He waved his hand and said, "If you decide to die, you'd better get ready. When the 13 Grand Guardians lead their large army here, we shall collaborate from within with forces from outside to let Li Ye know what we
If Li Cunxiao heard Li Keyong's words, he would vomit blood from anger. He hadn't lost a lot of battles for many years, and he hadn't dropped the ball at critical times. But the situation was obviously different now. When Li Cunxiao led his troops here to support, he saw that the opposing side had taken the position vantage point. They had tens of thousands of Pinglu troops form defensive barriers. Liu Dazheng had the attitude that he wasn't looking for merits, and he only didn't want to be blamed. And when Li Cunxiao saw the situation he snorted out of disdain. All of Liu Dazheng's troops were Pinglu Army's elites, and there were 50,000 of them. They outnumbered Li Cuxiao's Yizhou reinforcements by 10,000. Plus, they were in a defensive formation, which was very difficult for Li Cunxiao to breakthrough head on. But things in the world were mostly relative. Things that were considered difficult were easy for Li Cunxiao. He ordered the army t
The army attacked the city from all sides. Two hours or four later, the troops of the Hedong Army in the streets of Qinzhou City were already submerged in the armored ocean of the united forces. From the top of the watchtower, Li Ye walked forward with his hands clasped behind his back. Lotuses appeared from beneath his feet with every step, and he walked straight into Qinzhou City. His footsteps seemed to be slow but in actual fact, he was moving quickly. The Ground Immortal Realm and Sky Immortal Realm masters who had fought fiercely in the sky gradually stopped fighting. The thick clouds and lightning flashes dissipated, and the sky gradually returned to a peaceful and warm blue color. Beams of sunlight shone through again. The Immortal Realm and Sky Immortal Realm masters from Land Buddhism were retreating one after another. Willing or not, their city had been breached, and they were unable to do anything anymore. The Great Cultivators o
"Originally, I wanted to ask whether you wanted to live or die, but now, I don't think I need to ask anymore. Then, I think all of you should know what you should do next." All the people present were the famous big shots in Qinzhou, and none of them were stupid, so they certainly understood what Li Ye meant. In the final analysis, he wanted nothing more than money and food. It was a matter of course because this was what it was called the military disaster. Wherever the troops went, vegetation and livestock would die, and ordinary people would suffer great losses. When the so-called Imperial Army went out to battle, they needed to raise food most of the time. Since the troops couldn't produce food, they naturally had to ask ordinary people for it. What Li Ye meant was that they had to give money and food to the troops. Moreover, Qinzhou had to constantly offer food to support the logistics from now on when the Imperial Army sent troops to t
Hearing this, the general people would blush and become uneasy, but obviously, Li Ye wasn't this kind of person. He was brazen-faced. He said earnestly, "I was thinking about something, so I didn't notice..." Li Ye believed what he said because the first step to deceive someone was to deceive himself. But from Song Jiao's expression, Li Ye knew that she didn't believe it, no matter how much he believed it. Knowing that he couldn't muddle through with this barefaced lie, Li Ye changed his mind. He decided to use the trick which was effective every time. Immediately, he smiled and said, "What's more, your cultivation will soon reach the Spiritual Master Realm, so it's normal for me not to notice that. With your mind and experience, once you achieve the Spiritual Master Realm, you will be extraordinary!" As expected, women liked nice words, and even the mature women had no exception. Getting Li Ye's flattery, Song Jiao immediately became happy.
Li Cunxiao was a little stunned and soon understood Li Keyong's meaning. He immediately knelt and said, "I'm willing to sacrifice my life for you and Hedong and fight against Li Ye until I die!" When Qinzhou was defeated and Hedong was in despair, Li Cunxiao's promotion to the senior general of Militarism had a great effect on the morale of the armed forces and the stability of people's hearts. In order to reduce the impact of the defeat of Qinzhou as far as possible, Li Keyong would definitely publicize this matter widely and let all the people know that there was a senior general of Militarism under his command so as to stabilize the overall situation of Hedong and to prepare for the subsequent battle. Li Cunxiao's cultivation was already higher than Li Keyong's. It was a taboo that a minister was stronger than the master. So Li Cunxiao immediately declared his loyalty so that Li Keyong would not suspect him. "Good! I always
The encirclement of Yizhou was initially completed. The outermost ditches were finished, and at the same time, the troops carried out the defensive formation and fully prepared to trap the enemies and defend. About 400,000 imperial troops were attacking Hedong. Apart from the defense army of Qinzhou and Liu Dazheng's west army, about 250,000 soldiers of the east army were now gathering in Yizhou. There were about 300,000 in total in the Hedong Army. After the battle of Qinzhou, there were over 10,000 casualties. And there were also a lot of casualties in the battle of Fenzhou. Apart from the non-mobile forces of each county and the northern border defending army, Li Keyong could only mobilize more than 200,000 soldiers at will. Among 200,000 mobile troops, there were 70,000 under Li Cunxiao's command in Yizhou. Li Keyong had returned to Taiyuan and he could send reinforcements at any time. From the current situation, the odds were against th
