"We are working hard here, but you are flying leisurely in the sky. Isn't it too unfair?" Li Chengqian frowned and protested to Lin Yi.
"I didn't ask you to go to the battlefield. Besides, I went to observe the enemy's situation." Lin Yi pushed away Li Chengqian who was blocking him and got on the horse directly.
"Get on the horse, otherwise we won't be able to catch up." Changsun Chong reminded the impulsive Li Chengqian.
"Okay, how's your observation going?"
"The Tubo army has gathered, but I don't know if they will set off." Lin Yi still had a calm tone.
"Do you need to observe this? We already knew it, not to mention that Tibet has already rushed here." Li Chengqian's eyes were as wide as buns. He only had so little information, and he had the nerve to say that he was going to observe the enemy's situation?
"Oh, come on." Lin Yi still looked like it didn't matter.
"What's going on in the capital? Has the emperor sent reinforcements?" Changsun Chong asked, knowing that he couldn't argue with Lin Yi about his attitude now.
"We have sent them, but it will probably take more than ten days to arrive." When Lin Yi flew back from the capital, the army had just left not long ago.
"More than ten days? If there is a delay, wouldn't we have to face Tibet's 200,000 troops? Isn't this too dangerous?" Li Chengqian was shocked. In this case, it would be hard work for them.
"Who told you to pursue me? Otherwise, it would be great to return to Liangzhou. Even if you are surrounded, you will be fine for ten or twenty days. But now, where is the danger to defend? We are still in the desert. What a hell.
." Changsun Chong cursed. He didn't agree with the pursuit in the first place. He was indeed in a dilemma!
"Well... I didn't know Fu Yun was so good at escaping. I haven't caught him until now." Li Chengqian was a little aggrieved. He thought he could catch him easily, but who knew that Fu Yun, who grew up on the edge of the desert, was like this?
Like a slippery loach.
Lin Yi stopped talking. He just galloped his horse and felt the feeling of yellow sand hitting his face. But he didn't feel annoyed at all now. Why was that?
"Tell me, if we go by airship, can we catch him back?" Li Chengqian was silent for a long time, and then asked Chang Sun Chong.
"Are you stupid? If you want to arrest people, the airship must land. The airship can only hold about a hundred people at full capacity. So are you going to arrest people or be arrested?" Changsun Chong was really convinced.
This brainless Li Chengqian.
"Uh... pretend I didn't say it." Li Chengqian was a little embarrassed. He just wanted to end this chase as soon as possible! But more than a hundred people versus tens of thousands of people? It's scary to think about it.
"There's a fight ahead." Lin Yi suddenly spoke.
"Ah? There's a fight? Why didn't you see it?" Li Chengqian looked forward in surprise. After seeing that the field of vision was full of horses, he even took out his binoculars, but he didn't find anyone fighting in front of him.
"You're so stupid. You can't even feel the magic fluctuations with your mental strength?" Lin Yi felt that he felt a little helpless. It seemed that Li Chengqian's influence was very powerful.
"Oh." Li Chengqian responded and didn't dare to speak again. He realized that everything he said today was wrong.
Changsun smiled sullenly at the side, and then released his mental power, feeling the magic fluctuations ahead.
It turned out that Hou Junji felt that pursuing him like this would take too long. So he personally led a magic team of two thousand people on a rapid march and blocked the front of Fu Yun's army. He only hoped to stop the enemy for a moment. The generals of the Tang Dynasty were not stupid.
.Even if they hadn't agreed in advance, they would have cooperated, but Hou Junji was now praying that his magic team would sacrifice fewer people.
The effect of the magic bombing was very good. The blocking effect of the earth wall was also good. The Tuyuhun soldiers could not get close to them at first and could only be beaten passively. But after a long time, this was no longer possible. As some magic crystals cracked, they
Became a defenseless lamb.
The disappearance of the effect of the earthen wall caused the horses to attack them quickly, and the magic team began to be in chaos. The magic wand they were proud of had been completely scrapped. The rest were panic and regret. If they had known better, they would have brought a knife.
OK!
Fortunately, Hou Junji also brought his own personal guards. Although there were only more than 200 people, their combat power was considerable and they could stop them for a while. However, casualties were inevitable. How could more than 200 people be protected?
That’s two thousand people.
The rest of the troops have also speeded up. They were hanging behind Tuyuhun's troops. Now that the front is blocked, Tuyuhun's troops have stopped, so the battle has also begun in the rear. Tuyuhun is now attacked from both sides, but there are fewer people in the front.
Some, so the focus of their attack was on Hou Junji's side, and they wanted to break through as soon as possible.
Looking at the fewer and fewer members of the magic team, Hou Junji's heart bleeds. He does not feel sorry for these people, but is worried that if these people die too many, his merit will become a sin. The magic team has always been
The treasure of the Tang Dynasty, which the emperor valued very much. Now, nearly a thousand people were lost in his hands. And the point is not this, but that all the magic wands were scrapped without exception. This means
The magic team, equivalent to 2,000 people, disappeared under his leadership.
"Damn it, why aren't there any backups?" Hou Junji's eyes were blood red. Are these guys just going to waste him alone?
"Coming, coming, reinforcements have arrived." The guards shouted, and their number had been reduced to about fifty. If reinforcements did not come, they would have no choice but to retreat with the general.
In fact, the other generals gave the order in time. When Tuyuhun's troops were stunned, they knew that someone might move to the front to intercept, so these people did not think and observe carefully. On the battlefield, opportunities are fleeting.
Damn it, they immediately sent out the team. They were all elites, but they were not so careless in sending the magic team.
Everyone knows that the magic team causes the most damage, but they also all know that this is an auxiliary job. You cannot point at them in battle. They can only hide behind the infantry and carry out long-range attacks, and they cannot be too fast because of magic.
The recovery of the wand takes time. If the frequency is too fast, the crystal on the precious magic wand will break into pieces in just ten minutes.
Only the Houjun Assembly is so bold to use them. The other generals treat these people like treasures and only let them attack randomly. They don't even give orders to this team because they don't understand their fighting methods. It's better not to be reckless.
Good.
The timely appearance of reinforcements saved Hou Junji and the others. However, the damage was irreversible. The surviving members of the magic team looked a little blank. They really did not expect that they would also suffer such a disastrous defeat.
The magic team! How majestic! Wherever they go, they straighten their backs and receive everyone’s envious looks.
But the real situation is that without the magic wand, they are nothing. But the magic wand was invented by the Mountain King. What does it have to do with them? In fact, to put it bluntly, they are just tools, tools for using the magic wand. They themselves
He has no ability, not even as good as an ordinary soldier.
"Why are you so stunned? Hide back." The arriving elite soldiers pushed these unarmed magic teams to the back, but at the same time they also hurt their self-esteem.
"Captain, we..." The severely injured magic team almost completely left the battlefield, and there were soldiers protecting them, because it is not easy to cultivate a team that cooperates with each other tacitly. When they equip the magic wand again, they will become that person again.
A special team that supports ordinary soldiers at critical moments.
"In the future, we not only have to practice magic coordination, but we also have to pick up our previous martial arts skills, and remember to carry weapons with us." The captain said through gritted teeth.
After several years of being on top, he could not bear his own failure. They could not fall down, otherwise, they would not know how to live their lives. Every time you learn, you will gain wisdom. In the future, it will be more difficult to practice. Rather than sacrifice,
Those teammates, they have been too lucky.
"Everyone, follow me." Li Chengqian shouted excitedly.
He slapped the horse's butt hard and was about to rush forward. But a vine wrapped around his waist.
The horse ran away, but he stayed.
"Xiao Yi. What are you doing?" Li Chengqian was hung in the air and turned around with difficulty to ask Lin Yi.
"Hahaha... It's so funny. Well done, Xiao Yi." Changsun Chong laughed so hard that his stomach hurt. This scene was truly amazing!
"I just don't want him to cause trouble. If he runs forward, the soldiers have to protect him." Lin Yi said calmly.
"Put me down..." Li Chengqian shouted depressedly.
"Haha, let's tie it up for a while, so that he won't always think that he is all-powerful and cause trouble everywhere." Changsun Chong raised his eyebrows proudly and beat the drum beside him.
"Image, Xiaoyi, image!" Li Chengqian emphasized. After all, he was also the prince of a country, so he had to pay attention to his image. He couldn't let the soldiers watch the fun.
The horse ran for a long time and found that the person on its back was missing, so it turned back to look for him. Lin Yi took advantage of the situation and put Li Chengqian back again, but the vines were not removed.
"Good baby, you are the best. Come back to me if you know how." Li Chengqian leaned forward and hugged the horse that he had been with for many years.
"Stop talking nonsense and wait for the results." Changsun Chong came forward on his horse and kicked Li Chengqian in a funny way.
The war lasted all afternoon, but the cunning Fu Yun still escaped. They only captured nearly 20,000 Tuyuhun soldiers.
But these soldiers have brought trouble to the generals. They will continue to pursue them, and they may have to fight Tibet in a while. Not to mention bringing these people with them is in the way, but what if they rebel at the critical moment?
"Do you want to kill?" Li Daliang spoke first. In this tent full of heaviness, everyone sat in a circle.
Li Chengqian, Lin Yi and Changsun Chong were also there, and they were still sitting in the first place, but they just sat quietly without expressing their opinions.
"This is so inhumane. You should know how much the emperor hated what Goguryeo did back then." Duan Zhixuan's face looked a little ugly.
"Yeah, but it's too troublesome to take them with them, let alone putting them back. Now those prisoners have become a hot potato." Li Daoyan said, he didn't want to take a bunch of prisoners to fight, which would waste his troops.
Go look at those people.
"Why don't you find a place to lock them up?" Hou Junji suggested.
"It's possible, but is there a suitable place? Those people from Tuyuhun will come to rescue them." Duan Zhixuan did not find such a place along the way, and now they are in a desert, where can they be locked up?
Everyone fell silent, no one could think of such a place.
"Otherwise, let's divide some people and take them back." Li Chengqian suggested tentatively. He was not very lucky today. He had been saying the wrong things all day long, so he spoke carefully.
"It's too dangerous. It's not safe with fewer people, but with more people...how can the generals fight?" Changsun Chong shook his head. He didn't agree with this approach.
"Actually, it's not impossible. Let the three of us go and take custody. We don't need too many people." Lin Yi touched his chin and suddenly said a sentence that scared everyone!
Duan Zhixuan exchanged glances with the generals, and their eyes were full of fright.
What does the King of Zhongshan mean? He wants to take the prince and the eldest grandson to escort the prisoners together? Doesn't he need too many people? Are you kidding, they are not considered prisoners, but if the three of them want to return to the capital, they will have to send a lot of people.
Escorts, especially when Tibet poses a threat, would require at least 20,000 people to send them back, right?
"Xiao Yi. What do you mean?" Li Chengqian asked slightly excitedly. He was not afraid of danger. As long as Lin Yi said it, it meant that he had a way to bring these people back safely.
"It's not interesting, I'm just doing a favor." Lin Yi shrugged.
Duan Zhixuan began to smile bitterly, what was he going to do? He was the one who was nominally leading the team this time! When encountering such a thing, those generals would definitely hide.
"Then how many people should we take with us?" Changsun Chong was silent for a long time before asking Lin Yi.
"Three thousand people, but I want archers." Lin Yi said happily, as if he had already planned it.
"Xiao Yi, this is too dangerous." Duan Zhixuan shook his head. He had just used his eyes to seek help from others, but those generals had avoided it. As he expected, it seemed that fighting alone was inevitable.
Already.
"It's okay. If you be careful, there should be no problem." Lin Yi found that his magic has improved a lot, but he now lacks a person to practice with. If someone comes to rescue those captives or can meet Tubo,
Isn't it just right for him to adapt to this stage of magic?
"I can't agree. Xiao Yi, let's find another way to solve it." Duan Zhixuan thought for a long time and made a decision. The relationship was too big and he couldn't take the risk, especially when something was not right with Lin Yi.
Lin Yi only frowned slightly, but recovered instantly and shrugged, his expression very unconcerned.
Li Chengqian wanted to say something else, but Chang Sun Chong stopped him. Chang Sun Chong quietly pulled Li Chengqian, then shook his head, and Li Chengqian swallowed back the words he was about to say.
The discussion still came to no result. Anyway, everyone was inclined to find a place to lock these people up, but the place was not easy to find. So the soldiers scattered some of them and looked for a suitable place that was big enough and secretive enough.
"Why don't you let me talk?" Li Chengqian was pulled away by Changsun Chong, and he was a little unhappy.
"Because when Xiaoyi finally said it was okay, I had a... hard-to-explain feeling, as if something bad was about to happen." Changsun showed such a confused and slightly frightened expression for the first time.
"Really? I didn't feel that way, it's just...it seemed like my heart was suddenly blocked, and I almost lost my breath." Li Chengqian recalled that he was also aware of it at the time. Could this be caused by learning magic?
Hunch?
"If we both feel it, that idea will definitely bring serious consequences. General Duan is right to refuse. Let's pay more attention to Lin Yi these days and don't let that stubborn boy run away again." He proposed
There must be some plan for this method." Changsun Chong carefully listened to the few simple words Lin Yi said and felt that Lin Yi seemed to have some ideas from the beginning, but everyone just happened to be discussing this matter.
So he combined ideas with reality.
"Well, I will definitely pay attention." Li Chengqian nodded solemnly.
When it comes to Lin Yi, he will never be careless.
"What are you discussing?" Lin Yi was thinking about something on the side, but later he saw Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong muttering here, so he came over.
"No, nothing." Changsun Chong and Li Chengqian shook their heads in unison, their expressions exactly the same as Lin Yi's occasional innocent expressions.
Lin Yi looked left and right, then turned around and left.
"What's wrong with him? He didn't say anything?" Li Chengqian's eyes widened instead. What kind of reaction was this?
"How else can we say he is abnormal!" Changsun Chong crossed his shoulders with his hands and showed a very knowledgeable expression.
"It's really..." Li Chengqian nodded in agreement.
Lin Yi walked far away and began to be afraid when facing the large piece of yellow sand.
From the performance of Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong, he discovered the distance. His brothers were actually distanced from him, and they also had secrets.
Suddenly he felt a little lost, confused, and more lonely. He felt that he was more confused now than when he first came. When he first arrived in Datang, he was full of the joy of rebirth. He died once and understood the meaning of life.
Meaning, and his family gave him more motivation, and then he met Li Chengqian, this brother who was always unreliable and always relied on his own brothers. In the end, he struggled and worked hard to make Datang a better place.
But now, he couldn't find the energy to do anything. Just seeing the intimate way Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong got along, Lin Yi felt as if he had been abandoned. Facing this vast yellow sand, there was actually a feeling that was attracted by the whole world.
The feeling of abandonment.
Lin Yi sat on the beach and began to sort out his thoughts. He had to figure out why he was like this. He carefully recalled every detail, every emotion, every touch, happiness and sadness from the time he first came here.
After Lin Yi left for half an hour, Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong found him, but saw that he was just sitting there quietly, as if he was practicing, but could not feel any fluctuations in magic elements. Despite this, the two brothers
They still sat beside each other, waiting for Lin Yi to wake up. (To be continued.)
