"General Xue, we are here to break the formation. Now that Commander Bai has blocked the enemy's general, how about we take the opportunity to kill the enemy general's personal guards and attack the White Tiger Formation?"
The fight between Bai Zhi and Tubo's ugly-faced general had lasted for more than two hours. The two fought from the ground to the air, and from the air to the ground.
Although in terms of realm, Bai Zhu was a small level lower than his opponent, but with a set of domineering "God-killing Spear", Demon Subduing Bao Chu had a slight upper hand.
At this time, the sun had turned a little to the west. Xue Dingshan raised his eyes and looked into the "White Tiger Formation". The fire spirit was still hanging high there.
The figure swaying in the wind made Xue Dingshan no longer care. He waved the Fangtian painted halberd in his hand in place of the military order.
"Brothers, ahead is the White Tiger Formation. This formation is extremely murderous. You must maintain the formation, with the Forbidden Army inside and the Lijing Sect outside. Follow closely——"
By this time, fear was meaningless. As for returning home, that was certainly not Xue Dingshan's style.
As soon as the military order was given, Xue Dingshan's dragon and horse rushed forward and took the lead to kill him. Eighteen die-hard guards from the old Xue family surrounded him and followed closely.
"kill--"
In the blink of an eye, Xue Dingshan led his troops and ran into the five hundred personal guards of the ugly-faced general.
Without him as the general to command, a mere lieutenant was picked on by Xue Dingshan's Fang Tian Huaji when his two horses stepped on the wrong horse.
"Ah, Tang Jun is too powerful, let's run away quickly——"
The ugly-faced general was not a Tibetan, but the army he led was an out-and-out Tubo. The achievements and reputation of Xue Dingshan's Tang army had spread throughout the Tubo military camp a few days ago.
You killed your own lieutenant in a single confrontation, and the general cannot take command personally. How should you ask these five hundred personal guards to act?
"Don't chase the poor enemy, it's important to break the formation first——"
Xue Dingshan killed more than a hundred people in one breath. He saw that his side's formation was somewhat scattered, and even some members of the "Li Jing Sect" were so excited that they had already left the team.
Although he was anxious in his heart, he could not bring it out on the surface. In just a few months of military career, Xue Dingshan had matured a lot.
The so-called "White Tiger Formation" is a magic formation arranged based on favorable terrain. It contains ambushes of sergeants, many traps, water, fire, wind and thunder based on magic, and wild beasts.
The reason why it is named "White Tiger Formation" is because the formation is more aggressive. Once a person breaks the formation and enters it, he will be attacked at all times.
Of course, anything based on magic must be controlled by someone, and the power of the magic circle is also related to the cultivation level of the person who controls the big array.
This "White Tiger Formation" was originally supposed to be in charge of the ugly-faced general, but now he was restrained by Bai Zhi, which created favorable conditions for Xue Dingshan to break the formation.
The entrance to the "White Tiger Formation" is on the shady side of a low mountain. The Golden Crow turns west. It is not easy to find this entrance without looking carefully.
Xue Dingshan jumped in and rushed in. Although the "White Tiger Formation" was dangerous, Xue Dingshan did not have the habit of letting others try out the formation for him.
"Master, I have seen something similar in this first level. If my prediction is correct, there should be many archers hidden in that dense forest."
Just after entering the formation, what appeared in front of them was a dense forest, just a hundred steps in front of Xue Dingshan and others.
The light in the formation was much darker than outside, and there was no sound in the dense forest. There was only the "rustling" of the leaves in the wind. It was precisely because of this that it made people feel a little creepy.
"It's just a small plan, it doesn't matter. When someone comes, the rocket will wait for you——"
The dense forest didn't look that big, with a few hundred trees at most, but it was blocking their way.
Xue Dingshan had no intention of fighting to the death. When Mr. Luo was teaching, he once said, "A gentleman is born without exception, and he is good at pretending to be in things." Rather than risking his way through, it would be better to burn him with fire.
Nowadays
"Lijingmen" had already been trained into special forces who knew how to practice under Li Zhi's plan. Eighty-three people fired several rounds of rockets, and the small dense forest suddenly turned into a sea of fire.
"Haha, the young master is really smart. If there are Tibetan thieves hidden in the dense forest, this fire is enough to burn them to ashes——"
Not long after, I heard a huge commotion deep in the forest, and even a roar of "ouch".
It seems that there are not only Tibetan soldiers hidden here, but also wild animals.
"General, why is the wind blowing?——"
A fire was burning in the dense forest, and the three hundred or so people from the Tang Army were watching the fire from the other side, waiting for the fire to burn out before crossing the fire and continuing to advance into the depths of the "White Tiger Formation".
However, when half of the dense forest was burned, the other party was not found to put out the fire, but an evil wind blew?
Xue Dingshan would not believe that this gust of wind happened by chance. Since it was a man-made formation, someone would naturally be controlling it.
"No, hold your breath quickly, this wind is poisonous——"
Xue Dingshan stood at the front of the team and saw layers of yellow smoke rising above the fire, drifting towards him through the evil wind.
"Uncle Yong, order people to open a way out quickly. I will go and kill the person who is making trouble first——"
At this critical moment, there was no room for any delay. Xue Dingshan flew away from Longjuma, and the Fangtian Painted Halberd in his hand was swept forward frequently.
boom--
boom--
boom--
Whether it was a dense forest or a fire, they were all shattered into powder as Xue Dingshan's halberd swept across it.
"Little baby, do you have some wisdom? Increase the wind force. Even if you can escape death, can the soldiers behind you also be able to? Hahaha, grandpa really doesn't believe in this evil——"
A loud voice spoke in blunt Mandarin of the Tang Dynasty.
Flames were billowing and smoke was billowing in front of him, but Xue Dingshan did not dare to delay. If it was true as the man said, the more than two hundred soldiers behind him might really be buried here.
Xue Dingshan's cultivation level may be weaker, but he is almost covered with treasures to protect his body.
Whether it is Tai Sui Helmet, Heavenly King Armor, Vermilion Bird Robe or Shuiyun Shoes, they are all protective spiritual treasures at the level of "acquired spiritual treasures".
To be able to focus on a person in the late stage of "Celestial Immortal" is a unique thing, even if you look at the entire Three Realms.
There is no way, who would let the two mistresses have rich backgrounds, one is the East China Sea Dragon Palace, and the other is the "Wa Palace".
With these four treasures to protect his body, how could a mere mortal fire defeat Xue Dingshan?
After hearing the sound and identifying his position, Xue Dingshan held Fang Tian's painted halberd upside down and ran towards him.
He knew very well that the voice just now should be the person who let out the wind, and more likely the defender here. Only by killing this person completely can the obstacle in front of him be overcome.
"Brothers, General Xue is not afraid of hardships and dangers and takes the lead. Are we still greedy for life and afraid of death? Those who dare to die, follow me - "
The man Xue Dingshan calls "Uncle Yong" is in his forties this year and has followed Xue Rengui for many years. His life was saved by Xue Rengui on the battlefield.
Now seeing his young master rushing into the sea of fire without any care, this "Uncle Yong" was frightened.
It was impossible to find water around. None of them had the magical power to spray water, so they could only grab soil on the spot and throw it towards the fire in the dense forest.
Fortunately, these three hundred or so people are not mediocre. Even the simple task of digging the earth is a mess and amazing.
With just one stick of incense, everyone was able to create a smooth path leading straight through the dense forest.
"kill--"
The passage was completed, but "Uncle Yong" did not see Xue Dingshan's shadow, so he had no choice but to lead the group to move forward, but encountered a heavy cavalry of a thousand-man team.
Heavy cavalry was not common in the Tang Dynasty.
There were not many high-quality war horses in the Tang Dynasty. If you wanted to build a heavy cavalry, no matter the endurance of the war horses,
Or explosive power, both have strict requirements.
Secondly, the enemies around the Tang Dynasty were mostly nomadic peoples who lived in pursuit of water and grass. They used heavy cavalry but were unable to do anything.
Of course, the Tang Dynasty was not completely without heavy cavalry. The "Black Armor Cavalry" that roamed the battlefield under Li Shimin's command at that time were rare heavy cavalry.
The heavy cavalry in front of them was even more exaggerated. Even the men and horses were covered in armor except for the two eyes of the rider.
"Brothers who use blunt weapons and long weapons attack the legs of those war horses and break their legs. These heavy cavalry are rotten meat on the chopping board——"
When the experienced veteran saw the Tubo heavy cavalry rushing over, he roared, waved his rifle and rushed towards them.
The method was good, but unfortunately the difference in numbers was too obvious. One thousand versus three hundred, and it was such a short distance that the two sides quickly collided.
...
"Xiang Di, why are you here in person? I'm sorry that you're late, but I hope you'll forgive me——"
This is the location of the general's tent of Marshal Tuyuhun conquering the south. It was also the original royal tent of a medium-sized tribe in northern Tubo. It is still more than three thousand miles away from the Bajiao City on Xue Ding Mountain in the front part of the Tubo.
This marshal was an indigenous general from Tuyuhun. Just because he stood in line early and no one was available for Tuyuhun now, he became the marshal of the southern expedition.
"Marshal Mori does not need to be polite. Your Majesty is concerned about the war in Tibet. He has not received military reports from the front for five days in a row. He specially ordered the truth to come and investigate."
Di Renjie did not show any courtesy to the marshal named Mori, walked straight into the marshal's tent, and sat down on the main seat.
This seemingly rude move made Mori feel inexplicably at ease.
"Marshal Mori, this is General Fan Lihua, the Lord's fellow teacher. He has traveled thousands of miles to come to our aid this time and will serve as the deputy marshal of the southern expedition."
At this time, Di Renjie called Fan Lihua who came with him.
It turned out that when Fan Lihua arrived at the palace in Fuqi City, Lady Wu had not received any military reports from the front for two days.
The last letter was about the tragic victory of the Tang Army's vanguard and the capture of Bajiao City.
Madam Wu and Fan Lihua were both serious people. After a simple reception banquet, Madam Wu personally took Di Renjie and Fan Lihua to the "Donglai Temple" in the south of the city.
Today's "Donglai Temple" is more than double the size when it was first built. Mainly because of the addition of a military training ground in the backyard of "Donglai Temple".
In the past few years, more than 3,000 martial arts and spiritual practitioners from all over the Nanzhan continent have been recruited and selected.
Of course, there are also some people from the demon clan, and even a few rare witch clans.
They all trained with Master Alai, and were selected and eliminated at every level. Now there are only more than 530 people left.
These people have all seen blood, or in other words, killing has been part of their training in the past few years. Whether it is the opposition forces within Tuyuhun or the "eyesores" from the surrounding countries, they will all become the targets of this powerful force. Come to the training goal.
"Amitabha, Your Majesty, the young monk has selected four hundred elites according to your instructions, each led by a strong general. Please give me your name, Your Majesty——"
Sure enough, on a teaching military field, four columns were neatly arranged, and at the front of each column stood a person who looked like a commander.
Among the four "Xuanxian" level monks, one of them has even reached the peak level of "Xuanxian". The reason why such people can be recruited by Tuyuhun is really thanks to the rampage of demons in Nanzhan continent.
"Very good, Senior Brother Alai, it seems that your hard work over the past two years has been in vain. These four hundred people are elites -"
Today's Lady Wu was specially dressed in a smart outfit, with a bright red cloak covering her head, and dark clouds were tied up high in her head.
In the past few years, Lady Wu's cultivation has been increasing day by day. In the later period of "Taiyi Golden Immortal", there is no one in the entire Tuyuhun who has a higher level of cultivation than her.
"Although you have only had a little training, you are still worthy of becoming an army. Today I will serve you four times.
The military presents the flag and brings it up——"
Lady Wu shouted sharply, and she saw eight warrior monks approaching, carrying a large flag in pairs.
Why do you think one flag needs two people to carry it? It turns out that these four big flags all use solid iron flagpoles. On the battlefield, they are also a sharp weapon.
"Dragon Tiger", "Dragon Power", "Long Biao", "Long Wu", as soon as the four big flags were unfurled, the entire teaching military field became infinitely solemn.
"Senior Sister Wu is so generous. These four flags have actually been turned into magic weapons?——"
Although the magic weapon is much inferior to the "acquired spiritual treasure", it is still a magic weapon, not to mention it is just four military flags.
"Haha, I made Junior Sister Lihua laugh. I have few items in Tuyuhun, so I can only train these few hundred war weapons. Senior Sister must put some effort into other aspects."
"Huaiying, from now on, these four armies will be under your name. This is a tiger talisman for troop mobilization. Please be sure to keep it."
"Senior Brother Alai, recruitment, selection, and training will continue here. Only those who pass the assessment can be expanded into the various armies."
Even though Di Renjie was a smart and wise person, he never expected that Mrs. Wu would put all her hard work over the past few years on herself.
However, in such an occasion, Di Renjie couldn't refuse because of his understanding of Mrs. Wu, so he had to step forward and take the tiger charm with both hands.
"The military leaders came forward to report their numbers and receive the flag——"
Di Renjie is not a weak scholar, he is also a person with the cultivation level of "Golden Immortal". Now that he has received the Tiger Talisman, he should naturally enter his proper role.
"'The leader of the Dragon and Tiger Army Zhang Huan received the flag——"
"'Li Lang, the leader of the Longwei Army, takes over the flag——"
"'Yang Fang, the leader of the Long Biao Army, took over the flag——"
"'Renkuo, the leader of the Longwu Army, takes over the flag——"
The four military leaders stepped forward one after another and took over their own flags one after another. Every time the trumpet was sounded, hundreds of brothers behind them echoed in unison. Although the number was small, it seemed to have the power of thousands of troops.
"Although the Fourth Army has been established, it is still far from what I want in my heart. Don't think how great you are. Don't slack off in your daily training."
"This is my junior sister Fan Lihua. She has the cultivation level of "Taiyi Golden Immortal". The power of one person is enough to destroy four hundred of you—"
Seeing the happy expressions on their faces, Mrs. Wu knew that all the soldiers present had a feeling of "surviving the disaster". After all, they all fought their way out from among many competitors.
However, the current strength is really not enough. The pressure of "Taiyi Golden Immortal" in the later period was released, and the entire school grounds suddenly became silent.
"My junior sister will temporarily command the four armies of yours. We will get to know each other first, and we will start marching against Tibet in three days—"
Madam Wu had already told Di Renjie and Fan Lihua in front of Di Renjie and Fan Lihua when they were in the palace.
But he didn't expect that Mrs. Wu would bring Di Renjie in again. If Li Zhi saw this scene here, he would definitely be emotional.
The thoughts of the superior can be said to change rapidly.
Three days passed by in a hurry. Things in the army were complicated to say the least, but simple to say they were really simple.
It only took Fan Lihua less than an hour to convince each of the 404 people in the Fourth Army.
No way, just fight.
In the final analysis, what matters in the military is strength. Fan Lihua faced an attack of 404 people with her bare hands. For more than half an hour, no one could stand.
If this happened on the battlefield, wouldn't everyone turn into corpses?
"General Fan has great supernatural powers and unparalleled magical powers. From now on, whoever dares to disobey orders, I, Zhang Huan, will not let him go -"
Zhang Huan, the leader of the "Dragon and Tiger Army", is also the person with the highest cultivation level here. He has reached the peak level of "Xuanxian" and is one step away from being promoted to "Golden Immortal".
” It’s just one step away.
This is an upright man, and he actually has a trace of the blood of the witch clan. To be precise, Zhang Huan should be regarded as the legendary "witch man".
He is extremely powerful and inherently tougher than ordinary humans. He is less than forty years old. In the past few years, Yin Yin has become the leader of those specially trained here.
Zhang Huan's combat prowess was the strongest, and the one he had just been repaired by Fan Lihua was the most brutal. Even he was convinced, and the others had nothing to say.
"We are only following General Fan's orders—"
The shouts of more than four hundred elites made this young girl, who had never led an army, not know what to say for a moment.
...
As Di Renjie said, Fuqi City did not receive any military report for five consecutive days, so the sensitive Lady Wu felt that something was fishy about the matter.
The five thousand Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty may not be a big deal, but the person leading the army is very important. He was the disciple of Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty.
Even though Mrs. Wu is a woman-like master and has tasted the peak of power in recent years, every time she thinks of that unique man, the softest place in Mrs. Wu's heart can't help but be touched.
What's more, there is a lively little girl beside her, who looks more and more like His Majesty the Tang Emperor.
Sometimes Mrs. Wu couldn't help but ask herself, why did she choose to take such a difficult road?
For the sake of the vast number of disciples, do you want to promote Buddhism?
However, Lingshan has fallen, and she is just a "Taiyi Golden Immortal", can she still turn the tide?
In order to achieve hegemony, do you want to live like an emperor?
When she was just born, Yuan Tiangang, who traveled to the Wu Mansion, had a hexagram, "Dragon eyes and phoenix necks are extremely valuable!"
Or was it because he didn't want to show his cowardice in front of the Tang Emperor?
As the lord of the Tang Dynasty, it was normal for that person to have several concubines, but why should he be ranked at the bottom of the "Four Concubines"?
Think again about the women of Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty, the "Three Holy Mothers" Yang Chan, the most popular among the young female fairies in the entire Three Realms.
Luo Jia, whom she has never met before, is also a little princess of the Asura tribe, and she is already a "Daluo Golden Immortal". At least in terms of cultivation, she is at the forefront of all the women in Li Zhi.
Ao Ling, the seventh princess of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, also gave birth to a son for the Tang Emperor. With the support of the Four Seas Dragon Clan, Ao Ling has become the number one water tribe member in the Tang Dynasty. The title of "Dragon Lady" is not just talk.
Only the eldest grandson Pingting seemed to have a different background. She was the distant niece of the eldest grandson and the empress dowager, and she was the only one of Li Zhi's best friends.
If you look at it this way, it's really not easy for Mrs. Wu to get to the front of the queue.
The more she thought about this, the more Wu Niang wanted to create a bigger career. Tuyuhun could no longer satisfy her appetite. The southern expedition to Tubo was an important step in her grand blueprint.
Therefore, after five days without any military report from the front, Mrs. Wu could not sit still and directly sent out her most trusted Di Renjie.
"General, I will obey the Lord's will! Prime Minister Di, how do you think this army should be mobilized? -"
Even though Mori is the supreme commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, he has set his position very clearly. He is really nothing in front of Di Renjie.
As for the deputy marshal who just came, listen, she is the master's junior sister, so I'd better just be a "grain officer" with peace of mind.
Although Morrie had no military talent, he was still diligent and careful in his work. He personally laid out a marching map showing the situation of the enemy and ourselves on the commander's desk.
"Marshal Mo, here, here, here...these places are relatively close to Tuyuhun or Tang Dynasty. There is no need to send troops to guard them. We will draw 10,000 elites from them and hand them over to Deputy Commander Fan."
Di Renjie took a brief look at the march map in front of him and made an instant decision.
In fact, Di Renjie was already familiar with most of the terrain, cities and tribal locations on this map.
Although he had just arrived at the Tubo front line, the real planner and initiator of this battle was none other than Di Renjie.
"Your Majesty, the general will be here
Ask someone to deliver the order—"
Marshal Mori was about to leave, but was stopped by Di Renjie.
"Marshal Mo, please tell me, what happened at the vanguard, General Xue, do you really not know?"
Di Renjie's eyes left the marching map and stared directly at Mori. The handsome tent fell into an eerie silence...
