Chapter 53 Bloody battle with brothers(1/2)
Li Ye consumed a lot of spiritual energy, only 30% of it was left. If he was angry, he would be enough to support a battle.
But in fact, he could not squeeze all his spiritual energy, otherwise he would not even have room to escape.
The situation is already very difficult. No matter how much Li Ye saves, he is still about to face the situation of ending his life.
After thinking about it, the next battle can only focus on the power of the magic weapon bed crossbow.
Thinking of this, he called Peng Zushan over and asked him if he could further improve the use of magic tool bed crossbow so that it could play a greater role.
Peng Zushan said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, let alone improving the power of magic weapon crossbows, it would be great if they could still be used in the next battle. In this battle just now, two of the magic weapon crossbows were broken, one was destroyed by a bald donkey, and the other was the continuous operation burden, and it exploded itself."
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, and then he realized it again.
When the crossbow arrows are continuously fired, the burden on the crossbow tool exceeds the limit, which leads to the collapse of the crossbow body. As a time traveler, Li Ye roughly understands this phenomenon as a blow-off caused by overheating of the gun barrel.
In this battle just now, the magic weapon crossbows were shot for almost one or two hours in a row. Each crossbow arrow shot was extremely large, and there were no five hundred and four hundred and eight. It was not surprising that the crossbow string and the mechanical gua could not bear it.
But because of this, the suppressed monks' corps could not look up. Even though they kept avoiding crossbow arrows and hiding into various dead corners, they eventually suffered nearly 10,000 casualties.
Li Ye asked Peng Zushan: "The easing time provided during the battle is not enough to restore the magic tool bed crossbow?"
The reason I asked this is because Li Ye vaguely remembers that machine guns like Gatling in shooting games can continue to rush and rush after firing hundreds of bullets in a row after a little cooling.
Peng Zushan's face became increasingly ugly, "It can be alleviated a little, but it is not enough to fully recover. In the next battle, I am afraid that the speed of magic tool crossbows firing crossbows will be slower than before. Only in this way can they last longer."
Hearing this, Li Ye's heart skipped a beat.
The lethality of magic weapon crossbow cannot be increased, but it will be weakened. How to fight this downward battle?
Peng Zushan suddenly thought of something and started chattering again: "The materials we chose are not very good. Although we have made a complete magic tool crossbow, it seems that it is underestimated the damage and wear of the crossbow tool when continuously firing the crossbow arrows.
"If you want to make a more durable magic crossbow, you must first replace the tougher crossbow strings. The mechanical clasp itself also needs to be forged more firmly and tempered to produce fine materials. I have to think carefully with my master after I go back. Your Highness, I suddenly thought that a rare ore could be used to replace the original spirit stone..."
Before Li Ye could finish his words, he kicked him away.
For such professional issues, Peng Zushan could just think about it himself. Li Ye had not planned to develop in the direction of engineering. According to the experience and lessons of all dynasties, a monarch who immersed in technology manufacturing could not be a good emperor.
While the Guiyi Army soldiers were simply cleaning the battlefield, treating the wounded, and removing the bodies, the Guiyi Army governor Zhang Huaishen arrived with a group of cultivators in the real world.
The battle in Yangguan has begun for quite some time, and it is enough for Zhang Huaishen to get news and lead the capable forces to come and support.
They came here in a very hidden way and did not fly directly from mid-air, but ran quickly on the ground.
The result of this was that when they walked up to the city, the monks' corps outside the pass did not find any abnormalities. Zhang Huaishen is worthy of being a wise and brave general on the battlefield. He can repel the Uighur attacks again and again and quell the internal turmoils, and he is still very good at it.
But seeing them dusty and blood on their robes, it seemed that the road was not peaceful.
"Zhang Huaishen, the governor of Guiyi Army, pay homage to His Highness King An!" Zhang Huaishen brought everyone to salute.
Li Ye helped Zhang Huaishen up and exchanged a few simple greetings, mainly to express the court's affirmation of Guiyi Army and him personally, to understand their difficulties and difficulties, and then asked directly: "When Zhang Shuai came, did he encounter a battle on the road?"
During the greetings, Zhang Huaishen expressed his loyalty to the dynasty and his personal admiration for Li Ye, and expressed his touch and gratitude to Li Ye for his condolences. Then he talked about Sha and Gua Erzhou's look forward to the king's army.
In response to Li Ye's question, he replied: "When I passed by Dunhuang, several bald donkeys from the Vajra Realm in the Vajra Realm were in trouble and were killed by us. Because there were many monks and monks gathered in the city, it was delayed for some time."
Li Ye nodded slightly.
These Buddhist monks who attacked Yangguan came from the western plateau and Tianzhu. This is the only way for low-level monks to march eastward on a large scale.
However, there are Shumen forces in Sha, Gua and other states. They are making trouble everywhere at this moment, echoing the army of monks operating in Yangguan and Pipa Mountain, which is also the meaning of the topic.
However, seeing Zhang Huaishen’s easy statement, Li Ye knew that the monks and monks within were actually not very powerful.
At least the Shimen monks from Sha and Gua states, even if they suddenly acted to attack the Guiyi army, there was no possibility of shaking the foundation of the Guiyi army. In these two states, the Guiyi army still had the final say, and they maintained absolute dominance.
There were ten real-life cultivators brought by Zhang Huaishen. This was an unusual force for the vassal states. Moreover, Zhang Huaishen came to support Yangguan and would definitely not let the masters come out in full swing. Shazhou and Guazhou also need strong people to stay in charge to ensure the stability of the rear.
In this way, there should be nearly twenty real people in Guiyi's army. Compared with the vassal states in the Central Plains, the power gap is huge. Li Maozhen, Gao Pian and Wang Jian are only sixty or seventy real people in the vassal states. They are all great princes and many vassal states under their command.
However, the Guiyi Army was a border army. During the Zhang Yichao period, the Guiyi Army was even more powerful and powerful, shaking the eleven states. Even if it declines now, it will fight alone in a powerful enemy for many years. It is not surprising that it has such a foundation.
"Your Highness has brought so many great monks to help our Guiyi Army guard Yangguan... I am very grateful." When Zhang Huai was watching the battle formation of monks outside the city with Li Ye, he said with deep emotion.
His gratitude was not a bit fake, but instead had the meaning of "you are finally here". When he said this, his eyes were faintly red outside the Yellow City.
Li Ye didn't know how to answer this. He could hear that what Zhang Huaishen was originally going to say was not so concise, and there should be more content. But after that, he opened his mouth a few times and closed it, and there were only these words in his heart.
I am grateful for it. These four words are very important. There are not many soldiers of the Guiyi Army who have the opportunity to experience these four words.
Li Ye just nodded slightly and didn't say much. In front of the content that Zhang Huaishen did not say, no matter how much he said, he seemed pale and powerless.
In any case, Li Ye came a little late.
But no matter how late it is, it is better than not coming.
On the rammed earth wall stained with blood, Chu Zheng sat against the wall, and Zhang Changan was bandaging the wound on his left arm. In the fierce battle just now, he ran too fiercely and ran forward too long, leaving the echo of his comrades. As a result, he accidentally cut a three-inch-long hole in his arm.
The injury is not serious, but the lesson I learned from my purchase is not small.
"I feel that after this battle, I can become an old soldier." Chu Zheng smiled and said to Zhang Chang'an, "The same is true for you. When we return to Jincheng County, we will not be envied to death. We will rush to help thousands of miles, fight against Yangguan with blood, and defeat 50,000 monks and return. That is a heroic deed worthy of bragging."
Zhang Changan curled his lips and said that his brother's ambition was too small. "If you cut off a head of the Vajra Realm, that would be something worth showing off."
"Vajra Realm? You can tell me too! People put their neck in front of me and let me chop it. I may not be able to cut into the other party's flesh with just one knife." Chu Zheng laughed.
Zhang Changan sighed and looked at Chu Zheng with annoyance.
My best friend, when I was selling soup cakes in Jincheng County, I always had a dull and dead face. If I could finish it in two words, I would never add a tone.
Now, since leaving Jincheng County, he has lost his master's style. He talks so much that he doesn't say nonsense. He often likes to laugh boldly, which makes people feel particularly uncomfortable.
Nangong No. 1 always has endless wine to drink, but now Li Ye is talking to Zhang Huaishen, he has no intention of getting in. Drinking alone is inevitably a little lonely, especially when he is sitting on the female wall and looking at the direction of Shouchang County.
"I heard Li Ye say that you are in Shouchang County and fell in love with a young girl?" Li Xian came to Nangong First side, stood against the female wall, and showed a playful smile at the other party, "Why, you have only been separated for less than half a day and you have started to miss Wenxiang Nephrite?"
Nangong Yi coughed violently, and all the wine that had just entered his throat was sprayed out by him, looking embarrassed and embarrassed. His eyes were filled with astonishment and confusion when he looked at Li Xian, as if he didn't know the other person.
Although Nangong First felt embarrassed to be exposed on the battlefield, he did not lose his composure. However, Li Xian has always been serious and rigorous, and has never cared about such trivial matters, especially his daughter's love.
Nangong First stroked his chest. Although he was not very proficient in human relationships and worldly styles, he also felt the kindness conveyed by Li Xian. Last time he left Yangguan and said that he planned to believe in the gods, although Li Xian didn't say much, he still showed disappointment and contempt. Now he is here to resolve his past grudges with him, and it also means apologizing.
"I'm a good woman, but not as explicit as you said. What kind of warm and nephrite is as thin as dry firewood. I haven't grown up yet, and I have to wait for a few years."
Nangong First said in an indifferent tone to show that his dignified man would never be immersed in the land of gentleness, but the warmth and tenderness revealed in his squinting eyes could not deceive people no matter how much.
Li Xian said with a funny look: "What's the name?"
"No name." Nangong Yi then remembered and handed Li Xian a jar of wine, "It's good if the children of poor families can survive. No name is there, but Xiaoya is calling."
Speaking of this, he suddenly pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully: "But he is thirteen or fourteen years old, so he should have a different name. The big and small ones on the street are too ordinary and untasty."
There is another sentence later. Nangong First did not say to Li Xian. He shouted casually, as if Nangong First did not value others.
Li Xian drank a sip of wine, "What name are you going to give her?"
Nangong's first thought for a long time, suddenly his eyes lit up, "Little Ya is so casual. I plan to call her Xiao Ni! How about it, this name is not bad, right?"
Li Xian opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time. In the end, he could only give out his thumb, "I am worthy of being the head of the Imperial Heaven Supervisor, and it's really good to taste."
Nangong No. 1 raised his head and laughed loudly, full of complacentness.
Seeing that Li Xian was drinking wine without sip, although it was not very heroic, he never stopped moving. He drank a lot of wine, and his eyes were distant, as if he was worried. Nangong No. 1 couldn't help but feel childlike and asked curiously: "You are also a senior expert. Why are you so leisurely and elegant today and caring about my private affairs? Talking about your daughter's love is not in line with your identity."
Li Xian smiled, and there was a warm expression in Gu Bo's unscathing eyes, "What is the identity, what senior, who has never been young yet? When I was full of energy, I was even more outstanding in this kind of thing than you."
Speaking of this, Li Xian stopped talking, but just drank gulp after snooze, looking at the wall in front of him in a daze.
Li Xian’s past is a legend, and Chang'an City has long been circulated.
Of course, Nangong First knew that the other party's wife was also his only woman, and he was born into a Shandong clan. The marriage was not recognized by the other party's parents at the beginning, because Li Xian's governance philosophy was to suppress the big clan and support the poor family. But Li Xian insisted on stealing the people out of the mansion and married them to the Ming media.
At that time, he had the highest cultivation level in the Tang Dynasty, and no one could stop him.
It’s a pity that the beauty is poor and Li Xian’s wife passed away early. Li Xian, as the emperor of King An, didn’t even accept a concubine.
Nangong Yi suddenly felt that Li Xian’s way of drinking was very appropriate. Because he didn’t drink much in one sip, he could carefully taste the mellow fragrance of the wine. The older the wine, the more he should drink it, and the more taste it could taste. There was no miss or waste at all, and he was higher than the cow drink.
And I never stop drinking... This may be because the wine is delicious.
Nangong first looked at Shouchang County and drank like Li Xian. "Xiao Ni" squatted behind the stove. Looking at her quiet meal, she felt that the wine was indeed delicious today, and it was better than usual. It was obviously the same wine, but it tasted sweet now.
......
Not long after, the monks' corps launched their third attack on Yangguan.
The battlefield is the best war classroom. In order to better deal with magic weapon crossbows, Li Ye's biggest threat was solved as much as possible, and the attack method of the monks' corps has changed.
The most important thing is that the main force below the fourth level of Qi training followed slowly in the rear and stopped outside the range of the magic weapon crossbow. Two or three thousand monk soldiers above the fourth level of Qi training were the pioneers and main forces of this attack and launched a fierce attack towards Yangguan.
As long as they are not too close to the magic weapon crossbow and face the magic weapon crossbow formation, the cultivators above the fourth level of Qi training will have the ability to save their lives. When they explore the scope of the magic weapon crossbow and concentrate their efforts to destroy it, the monks below the fourth level of Qi training will follow up and capture Yangguan in full.
However, until these monks of the Shu Sect jumped onto the city wall, the magic weapon crossbow did not make any sound. The green crossbow arrows that had been swept across the road before were all gone at this moment.
This is the military order issued by Li Ye to Peng Zushan. As long as the main force of the monks' corps is not close, there is no need to use a crossbow, and the left and right are not very useful. If the position is discovered, it will be very bad. It is better to preserve your strength.
Li Ye is also a long-time general on the battlefield. He can tell what his idea was to change his tactics at a glance.
As a result, the battle became a complete close confrontation.
Fighting on the battlefield, not reaching the realm of real people, flying around inside and outside the city wall is undoubtedly a quest for death.
It is easy to avoid hidden arrows and is difficult to defend against when a person leaps in the air. When a person leaps in the air, his movements are limited. Qi-training monks cannot move freely. Facing the sword energy and sword lights that are not known where they will be slashed, even if they are trapped in the air for only a moment, it is no different from the birds waiting to shoot.
Close combat and battle formations are undoubtedly the best of the army. Five people form formations and ten people form formations, skillful cooperation, well-founded advance and retreat, and both offense and defense.
To be continued...
