Chapter 57: Crisis and Victory (5)
Outside the Northkou Pass, the Tang army, which occupied the entire western camp of Khitan camp, was attacking the Central Army camp. The offensive was quite smooth. In just two days, the soldiers who had trapped the formation attacked the village wall and fought bloody battles with the Khitan soldiers.
Judging from this momentum, the Tang army had the possibility of taking down the Central Army camp in one go. Once the Central Army camp failed, all the Khitan troops in the entire camp would basically be the only way to defeat.
In the ruined Xiying District, Ergouzi was wiping his horizontal knife, his face calm and his eyes were as iron as iron.
In another two hours, it was when they were on the battlefield. According to the generals' judgment, the Khitan Central Army camp was likely to be completely captured in their hands.
After Niudan returned from the examination and took the exam, she sat down next to Ergouzi. Seeing the other party's eyes full of fighting spirit, Niudan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You have made considerable achievements in the previous battle and suffered serious injuries. According to military discipline, you are qualified to go home to see your relatives and recuperate. I'll let you take the opportunity to get married so that you can leave a fight for the old Chen family. What do you think? Why don't you listen?"
Ergouzi smiled and said, "The future is long, why bother to hurry up? This war is a key battle of the dynasty. The general said it is of far-reaching significance. As a warrior, being able to participate in such a war is something that can show off for a lifetime."
Niu Dan slapped Ergouzi in the head in anger, "You are so stupid, you want to piss me to death!"
Having said that, Niu Dan's eyes were full of admiration and relief.
Ergouzi chuckled twice and said curiously: "Du Tou, your injury is not lighter than mine, and you have not fully recovered yet. You can guard the city without having to fight bloody battles. Why do you have to..."
Before he finished speaking, he was slapped in the head again, and Niu Dan said angrily: "It's all in your heart. Are you a person who is greedy for life and fears death?"
Ergouzi disturbed his head and said embarrassedly: "Of course not. Didn't you tell me before that family is the most important thing, so you must put them first? If you have the chance to live, you shouldn't die. You should spend a lot of time with them..."
Niu Dan snorted and said arrogantly: "You know what you know! Do you think I am just a big soldier like you, and you just need to consider yourself? I am not at the forefront. When I am on the battlefield, who will command you and lead you to fight? I won't be relieved whoever I let you go! Besides, I am already the father of two children, and I have a back, so what are you afraid of?"
Ergouzi immediately admired Niudan and flattered him: "Du Tou is mighty! It's a blessing for being able to follow Du Tou to the battlefield!"
"roll!"
......
"The offensives of each unit are going well, and we are expected to capture the Khitan Central Army camp by tomorrow at the latest." Li Maozhen, who looked down at the battlefield above the north entrance, said to Li Ye, who was also observing the situation, with a look of excitement between his eyebrows.
She continued: "Although the situation on the battlefield outside Yuguan in Pingzhou is not as smooth as here, it is just a little worse. It is only a matter of time before victory."
After saying this, Li Maozhen laughed three times, looking extremely proud and generous. She couldn't help but pat Li Ye on the shoulder, raised her eyebrows and sang: "Look, we will win this war. From now on, there will be no one in this world that can prevent the Tang Dynasty from reappearing in its prosperous era. This is your achievements and my achievements!"
To Li Maozhen's surprise, Li Ye did not make jokes with him as usual, and was not serious about each other.
Li Ye's brows were slightly frowning, his face was solemn, and his eyes were deep and sharp.
This is obviously not the expression of seeing the dawn of victory.
Li Maozhen felt the solemnity in Li Ye’s heart.
She said strangely: "What are you thinking?"
Li Ye's voice was deep and low, and he said slowly: "Someone once told me that if there is a seven-point chance of winning in a battle on the battlefield, it is worth fighting for the whole army and fighting for everything to win."
After saying this stupid sentence, he stopped and did not continue.
Li Maozhen understood what he meant.
She said: "We are sure to win this war now, and there is no possibility of failure, that is, it is a very likely chance of victory."
After a while, Li Ye continued, "This is exactly what I worry about. If you have a tremendous chance of winning before the outcome is decided, it is often not that you will really win, but that your enemy makes you feel that you will win. At this time, you are probably already plotted."
Li Maozhen turned to look at him and said curiously: "Did you tell these words by Lao An??"
Li Ye nodded.
When it comes to the battlefield, Li Xian is the real master, with rich experience and profound insights. Although due to personal experience, he has some problems in his mind and cannot be as brave and diligent as Shangguan Qingcheng, he has a deeper experience than Shangguan Qingcheng in terms of theory.
Li Maozhen frowned: "The truth in this world is rarely absolutely effective."
"It's not because of these words that I have doubts about the battle situation, but the situation of the Khitan army." Li Ye's eyes flashed with wisdom.
Observing the brilliance and knowing the details is a skill that Li Ye should and must have. Otherwise, he would not have the status and achievements he has today.
He stared at the battle scene of the Khitan camp and said slowly: "I have been wondering why Yelu Abaoji should not withdraw his troops under the current situation, and why do I think he still has the possibility of winning? I have deduced the battle situation countless times, taken care of all the possibilities that will appear, considered all the details, and wanted to find the key, but I could not do it as I wish.
"Until I heard what you said just now and saw our soldiers penetrated into the enemy camp, I suddenly realized that our fists had hit the opponent's chest, but at the same time, this was also the best time for our fists to be controlled by the enemy.
"Whether it is attacking the enemy camp or being lured into the enemy camp, our army is indeed deeply trapped in the enemy camp. If we want to withdraw our troops, we may not be able to do anything."
The more Li Maozhen heard it, the more she felt that in the dark, there seemed to be something that she was about to catch, but she was still a little short of it.
She thought, "The Khitan war was not going well, and the various troops suffered heavy casualties. It was not intentional to retreat step by step. Whether they were really unfavorable or intentional temptation, I can still tell whether they were really unfavorable."
Li Ye shook his head and said, "This does not mean that Yelu Abaoji has no other plans. Performing that does not involve acting is truly brilliant."
Speaking of this, Li Ye's heart gradually became clear.
He has grasped the key.
He said: "The national war between the two major powers is a full-scale battle, and military strength is only part of it. The weaknesses of the Khitan are very obvious. They are emerging grassland overlords, and their control over the grassland is not very strict and effective, and their military is not as good as those of the Tang Dynasty. But our weaknesses are actually very obvious."
Li Maozhen was stunned, "What are our weaknesses?"
The Tang army was brave and good at fighting, the Tang Dynasty was extremely powerful, and many cultivators were powerful. Now even if they were fighting on three sides, they could temporarily support it.
Li Ye's face had a brilliance, "Yelu Abao was sure to win this war, and there was only one breakthrough point, that is - me!"
Li Maozhen was even more puzzled: "You?"
Li Ye said: "When I die, the situation of the battle will change immediately. The army that invaded the Khitan camp will fall into the quagmire of retreat in the blink of an eye. At that time, the Sijin troops will appear again and have a brave attack, so the victory will naturally belong to the Khitan."
When Li Maozhen thought about it, he felt that it was the reason and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "How can Yelu Abao kill you in the secret?"
Then her tiger body shook and she said domineeringly: "With this king here, who can hurt you?!"
She has the secret of heaven, and no one in the world can kill her except Yelu Abaoji.
The same is true for Li Ye before.
But now, Li Ye’s secrets and his cultivation are both in the Immortal Realm and are fighting.
Li Ye said slowly: "My weakness is naturally in Chang'an."
Li Maozhen reacted instantly, her eyes were filled with horror, and she couldn't help but say: "Li Yan?!"
Before the world was in chaos, Li Yan was Li Ye's greatest help. In the past, he was in charge of Pinglu. The reason why he was able to train the Pinglu army into a powerful army within a few years was the financial support given by Li Yan.
Otherwise, with the power of Pinglu Town, Li Ye could not afford the military expenses at all, and collected the salary that countless monks in the martial arts world needed to pay.
However, since the chaos in the world, Li Yan has become Li Ye's weakness. Li Maozhen conquered Chang'an and commanded the princes with the emperor, which had the opportunity to put Li Ye in a dilemma.
It's just that she didn't do that.
The fundamental reason why Li Yan can become Li Ye’s arm and weakness is that he is the emperor.
Still, Li Ye would never go to the emperor who was strictly controlled like other powerful ministers.
Li Maozhen was a little panicked, "I'll go back to Chang'an now!"
She knew better than anyone else that once Li Ye's body died in the mortal world, it would be a great disaster for the Tang Dynasty. Now that the Kunlun passage is closed, if such a situation occurs, Li Ye in the fairyland will not be able to get down.
Li Ye shook his head, "It's too late."
It is indeed too late for Li Maozhen to rush back now.
The moment the Tang army invaded the Khitan Central Army camp, it meant that the key point of Yelu Abaoji's planning had arrived. At this time, Li Ye from Chang'an should be dead soon. Only in this way can Yelu Abaoji seize the last and best opportunity to counterattack before the Tang army conquered the Khitan Central Army camp.
Tears flashed in Li Maozhen's eyes and she said anxiously: "What should I do?"
Li Ye glanced at Li Maozhen strangely.
That's the most obvious meaning - why did you suddenly become so stupid?
When Li Ye's eyes came into contact with Li Ye's gaze and understanding what Li Ye meant, Li Maozhen was stunned.
She immediately reacted.
It was indeed too late for her to rush back to Chang'an, but Li Ye could do it.
In front of her was Li Ye's body transformed with the cultivation of the Emperor's Eye, which was connected to his original consciousness. What he thought of here, Li Ye in Chang'an naturally thought of it too.
She is concerned and confused.
Li Ye was despised by Li Maozhen, but Li Maozhen didn't have time to be angry and asked nervously: "What's the situation in Chang'an now? I mean, how are you in Chang'an?"
