Li Ye had a question before.

When Gao Xianzhi led his army to fight against the Dashi Army outside Talas City, with the combat power of the Tang army at that time, why did he not defeat the Dashi Army for five consecutive days? The Modao Formation in the Tang army at that time was extremely sharp in the world, and no one could match it, and he could not even block it.

Now that he saw the battle situation in front of the city, he had a preliminary answer in his heart. The monks of the Crescent Cultivation are indeed extraordinary. This brave and light-hearted demeanor makes them not retreat even if they have suffered heavy casualties.

When Li Ye first conquered Hexi, he met Tubo soldiers. Those soldiers who lived in poor mountains and rivers on the plateau and were always fighting for their survival were indeed more fearless than the people in the peaceful and peaceful land of the Central Plains.

But compared with these monks of the Crescent Cultivation, they are still much worse.

The fundamental reason is the difference in faith.

These monks of the Crescent Moon Sect not only have firm beliefs, but also have fanatical minds. From the moment the Crescent Moon Sect appeared, they were scriptures and swords in one hand, which was destined to be expanding and combative, and were not comparable to ordinary sects.

At this point, the Shimen and Taoist sect seem too gentle and conservative, and have the meaning of being at ease with a small wealth. Once you have obtained a certain territory, you will either fight for power and profit internally, or you will expand yourself, and you will not have the wildness of continuous expansion.

This is also one of the reasons why Shimen was defeated by the Crescent Sect.

Li Ye looked at the front of the two armies that were killing each other, and his eyes gradually became sharp.

After the crescent monks broke into the front team of the Tiger Guards, the offensive momentum became much heavier. Although the Tiger Guards formation was broken, there were actually no casualties and injured. For a moment, the soldiers of both sides fell into a melee.

When Li Ye saw Zhao Polu flying to the front, at the other party's order, the soldiers of the Tiger Guards who fought behind the melee soon organized the formation and pushed the large shield formation up again. The Tiger Guards who fought in the front did not hesitate and retreated into the rear of the large shield formation.

The Dashi Guards wanted to follow the soldiers of the Tiger Guards and take the opportunity to attack the Great Shield Formation. Of course, this is unrealistic. The Tiger Guards are well-trained, so how could they give them this opportunity to block them outside?

As each small formation stabilized its position, the defense line of the large shield formation was re-established, and the entire Tiger Guards' front formation returned to its iron wall. This made the monks of the Dashi Guards look crazy, with red eyes and roaring, and wild beasts kept rushing to the Tiger Guards' large shield spear formation.

They had just paid a heavy price and finally captured the big shield formation. Before they could let go of their hands and feet, they returned to their previous situation. How could they be willing to do so? Although the monks of the Crescent Cultivation died bravely and lightly, the death of their comrades would arouse the anger of the warriors anywhere.

When Li Ye saw this, he said to King Qi: "It seems that Zhao Polu doesn't need us to give me any advice, he is very sober."

King Qi didn't care: "If the generals of the Tang Dynasty were just brave and knew how to rush forward and had no brains, they would never be as glorious as the prosperous Tang Dynasty."

Li Ye nodded with a smile.

Looking at Zhao Polu's command, Li Ye knew that the other party had never thought of attacking the Dashi Guards immediately, but made up his mind to defend first, and used a stable military formation to consume the combat power and blood and courage of the Dashi Guards.

When the opponent is tired, that is the time for the Tiger Guards to counterattack and the easiest time to win. This may take three to five days, ten or half months, or even longer. But the combat power of the Dashi Guards is worth waiting for this time for the Tiger Guards.

After seeing the opponent's combat power clearly, Zhao Polu was able to quickly and accurately judge the situation of both sides and make the response measures he should have. This is the quality that the general must have. Li Ye was also satisfied.

As the same goes, the defense naturally has the advantage. As long as the combat power of both sides is equal, the offensive party has to pay exponentially if it wants to achieve results. Otherwise, the military strategy will be

If you can't say it, you will surround it if you want to five, attack it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight it if you want to fight

Without a military advantage, there is no qualification to attack.

The battle is in full swing.

Although the outside of the city is not a desert, it is also a desert area. Even if the Qi-training monks deliberately control the overflow of spiritual energy and try not to stir up smoke and dust, the soldiers in the previous formation are also moving in the wind and sand, leaping up and down.

Few people can kill the enemy with just a few swords. The armor of the monks on both sides is not ordinary, and they are very defensive. The magic weapon and sword are cut on it, which is no different from ordinary swords and swords on iron armor. It is difficult to break the armor with three or two swords. There is no need to say that there is a round shield - the soldiers of the Tiger Guard also have small round shields.

Only when a long sword is stabbed straight and a spear is stabbed straight, it can penetrate the opponent's body.

When the two teams of soldiers fight head-on, they often have to fight for a long time before someone on the other side can fall down. In this case, the energy consumption is particularly high, and even the Qi-training monks cannot fight for an hour. Often, if they fight for half an hour, the comrades behind will come up and replace them.

When ordinary soldiers fight in formation, they will become melee, while when Qi training monks fight in formation, they will become melee. Compared with the former, the latter acts more neatly and is more convenient for command and mobilization.

However, in Li Ye's opinion, any fight will still be inevitable in the ultimate situation. However, for the Tiger Guards and the Dashi Guards, this limit is a bit high and difficult to achieve.

That's how it's evenly fighting.

The two sides put more than 200,000 troops into the battlefield, but the real battle was the outer queue. In addition to the Dashi Guards' previous reckless behavior of breaking into the formation, a large number of monks suffered losses, and subsequent monks were killed or injured by only hundreds or thousands.

"Now the problem is with the Dashi Guards. If they want to break through the Tiger Guards' large shield and spear formation, they must jump into the formation and pay several times or even nearly ten times the price of casualties."

Li Ye looked at the battlefield and said, "But if they don't do this, they will never enter the formation. It is unrealistic to shake the Big Shield and Spear Array head-on. If they don't give up on the attack, the Big Shield and Spear Array will also cause more casualties than the Tiger Guard."

King Qi said: "The Dashi Guards attacked with great momentum. I believe that the whole army is determined to defeat the Tiger Guards. Now that their attack is frustrated, they can't help but have no choice but to fight the Tiger Guards formation, and the monks will inevitably have a gap in their hearts. If they can't even maintain the offensive, it will be a big blow to morale.

"At this time, even though we know that the attack will pay a heavy price, in my opinion, the Dashi Guards can only continue to attack fiercely. In this way, they still have the possibility of winning. Otherwise, if they are in a row, they will lose their strength and lose their energy, and the situation will be bad for them."

Speaking of this, King Qi laughed, "This is also the price they need to pay to dare to attack my King of Tang head-on without saying a word."

Li Ye nodded and agreed with King Qi's judgment.

Then he smiled and said, "This war is about the winner and loser. It is better to take the initiative than to wait for others to attack. At least you can take the initiative. In fact, even if the Dashi Guards retreat, there may not be much problem, as long as they can adjust their mentality."

The Dashi Guards need to realize that the Tang army is different from the enemies they encountered before, changing their usual pride mentality of treating the elite of the world as dirt. In this way, they will give up the offensive and wait for the Tiger Guards to attack, the situation will be much better for them.

King Qi understood Li Ye's meaning and frowned slightly: "If so, can the Tiger Guards break through their battle formation?"

This problem is critical and fatal.

Li Ye did not comment.

With King Qi's passionate personality, he did not ask Li Ye's behavior of keeping him indifferently.

She also knows it very well, and she is still not sure.

The offensive ability of the Dashi Guards has been reflected, but the defense ability has not been revealed too much at present.

After all, the Tiger Guards have the means to keep the box, and the Dashi Guards may also have it, and these will not be exposed at the beginning of the battle. Because once the means to keep the box are used but no results are achieved, the victory basically does not belong to them.

Ali looked gloomy over the battle formation of the Dashi Guards, looking at the fierce battle between the two armies without saying a word.

In his eyes, the battle formations of the two armies were two lakes, which suddenly squeezed together and caused waves at the boundary; it was also the surging sea water that hit the solid reefs, splashing waves in lines.

There is no doubt that the battle is very fierce. Every attack by the monks on both sides burst out with dazzling spiritual light. When one shot is released, the spear light is like fire. When one knife is slashed, the sword light is like the moon. When one shield is present, it separates the two worlds of Explosion, the Explosion, the Explosion, and the calm waves are calm.

However, the lake of the Dashi Guards was unable to annex the lake of the Tiger Guards, and the huge ocean of the Dashi Guards was unable to submerge the reefs, and could only splash water in vain.

"Deputy Commander, if we continue to fight like this, we may not be able to defeat the Tang army today!" A great monk said anxiously.

Ali thought for a moment and shouted: "Attack with all his might and order the monks to cross the Tang Army's shield formation! As long as the shield formation appears in the future, no matter how much the price it costs, it will jump over! I don't believe that the Tang Army's battle formation is really a wall of iron and will not be messed up!"

"yes!"

After the military order was issued, the monks of the Crescent Cultivation organized their forces again and leaped over the shield formation and rushed into the Tang army group. This time, they improved their tactics and were no longer satisfied with leaping over a shield formation and breaking into the Tang army's front formation. Whenever the Tang army appeared a battle formation, they would jump directly over and continue to move forward.

As a result, the monks of the Dashi Guards continued to follow up and join the battlefield. They suffered extremely heavy casualties, and the corpses on the ground gradually increased, and the yellow sand in many places was stained dark brown by blood.

However, more and more monks of the Dashi Guards joined the battle ranks. The battles spread from the front formation to the middle formation, and the situation suddenly became chaotic, and the battle formations in front of the middle formation began to fight melee.

Ali's eyes flashed with a glimmer of energy and he thought to himself: "The Tang army is indeed extraordinary. It is not easy to defeat them. He must pay a price, or even a great price.

"I have the advantage of 50,000 cultivators, and I must give full play to it. The price of the leap formation can be afforded. In the face of such a fierce offensive, is the Tang army really stable? Let me see what kind of methods does the most elite army of the Tang Dynasty have to put the bottom of the box!"

He knew very well that even if we could not completely break the Tang army formation in today's battle, we would have to achieve some results, otherwise it would be detrimental to the morale of the army. If we really couldn't break the Tang army formation, we would also have to inspire the last means of the Tang army's battle formation so that we could make targeted arrangements in the future to win the final victory.

When Zhao Polu saw that the Dashi Guards adopted this extreme tactic, they did not regard monks as human beings, nor did they take human lives seriously, and they had to fill in the corpse and penetrate into the Tiger Guards formation step by step, and their eyes also sank.

He knew that the Dashi Guards could not allow the Dashi Guards to maintain such a fierce offensive, otherwise even if the Tiger Guards, with a disadvantage in their military strength, could not be able to stabilize their position even if they could defend today.

When the Tiger Guards fought, they were seeking victory, but they did not really stick to it.

He looked at Ali from afar, looked Ling Lie, and sneered: "Since you want to know how powerful the Tiger Guard is, then let you see what the heroic spirit of the Tang Dynasty is!"
