The long-awaited decisive battle is finally here.
Standing on the tower of Nanyun City, Li Ye could already feel the rolling torrent of iron and steel more than ten miles away, slowly heading towards Nanyun City.
The eldest prince and Yang Kaiyi who hurried over climbed up the tower, stood behind Li Ye, looked at him and asked: "National Preceptor, will they attack today?"
Mu Mu, Wei Qingyu, Nalan Yu and others also rushed over.
Li Ye did not go back to the eldest prince first, but looked at Nalan Yu quietly and said softly: "Whether this battle is won or not depends entirely on my eldest brother."
Nalan Yu nodded heavily, looked at him and said, "Don't worry, Imperial Master, the brothers from the Chongjun Camp have moved all the weapons to the tower last night and are waiting for them to come."
Li Ye nodded, looked at him and smiled lightly: "Brother, please go outside your city and open that lid."
"The Imperial Master decided to use it today?" Nalan Yu looked at Li Ye and asked in a solemn voice.
"I'm sure you don't need to worry about this matter. We'll do it ourselves." Li Ye's face was calm, without a trace of sadness or joy.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Nalan Yu clasped fists at him and saluted, then turned and left.
Li Ye pointed to the wilderness outside Nanyun City, looked at the eldest prince, Yang Kaiyi and others, and said quietly: "They are already here."
Yang Kaiyi was puzzled and looked at the empty wilderness and said: "I didn't see anyone, National Master."
The eldest prince ignored him, but turned to look at Jiang Huo behind him and said: "Let all the troops enter immediately, be prepared for battle, and have the flag bearers and order soldiers in place!"
"The heavy battalion is in place, the rocket battalion is in place, the entire army's bows and arrows are in place, the rescue battalion is in place, the cavalry is in place..."
The sound of orders sounded on the Nanyun Tower.
"Boom!" With a sound, the heavy Nanyun City Gate opened, and a military horse rushed out.
Everyone looked down and saw that Nalanyu, who had been ordered by Li Ye, rushed across the trestle on the moat, came to the edge of the moat and jumped off his horse...
I saw him tinkering by the moat for a while, and then waved to Li Ye on the tower, indicating that he had completed the task.
Li Ye nodded and waved to him.
Nalanyu jumped on his horse and rushed back to Nanyun City with a puff of smoke.
I saw the trestle on the moat slowly retracting.
There was another "Boom!" and the heavy city gate closed again.
Li Ye looked back at Mu Mu and Wei Qingyu and saw that the two women had put on their wartime armor.
"When the battle starts, shoot at the generals who are commanding the army." Li Ye said quietly as he looked at the two men.
While talking, he went back to the house and took out his iron bow, and then dragged a box of iron arrows and put them at his feet.
"City Lord Yang, please please watch the battle with the eldest prince in the room for a while. There will be a fierce battle today." Li Ye looked at the two of them and said in a deep voice.
"I am the Grand Marshal, how can I be a coward?" The eldest prince looked at Li Ye angrily.
Li Ye glanced at him quietly and said with a smile, "Don't force me."
Are you kidding? Your father entrusted your brother and sister to me. You are also the future emperor. How could I dare to take risks on you?
The eldest prince seemed to understand what Li Ye said and no longer insisted on going to the battlefield. He just said bitterly: "Then I will also stay on this tower."
Li Ye looked at him and nodded.
While they were talking, Nalan Yu ran back, looked at Li Ye with sweating profusely, and said, "That thing stinks like hell. Please remember to ask me for credit."
Li Ye turned back to look at the eldest prince and smiled: "If you win a big victory today, remember to give this guy, Wang Tianhua of the Chongsu Camp, my sister and Wei Qingyu a great credit."
Although the Emperor didn't know Li Ye's intention, looking at his serious look, he nodded and said, "Everything will be done according to the wishes of the Imperial Master."
...
Woo hoo...Suddenly, the trumpet sounded outside Nanyun City.
There was an earth-shaking sound.
The heavy siege chariots and hundreds of thousands of cavalry from the grassland tribes were slowly pressing towards Nanyun City like dark clouds.
"They are coming!" Mu Mu shouted excitedly.
Li Ye didn't say anything. He just went back to the house and took out the helmet and put it on her head for her.
"Be safe, don't let me worry!" Li Ye emphasized his tone for fear that Mu Mu would be disobedient.
Mu Mu, who wanted to take off his helmet, saw Li Ye's serious look and stood aside honestly, no longer acting like a princess.
"Don't be anxious today, play with them slowly!" Li Ye said with a faint smile.
"General Nalan, I order you to keep the brothers from the Heavy Battalion from letting their heavy siege vehicles approach the moat!"
Li Ye looked at Nalan Yu and said!
"Don't worry, Imperial Master, the modified heavy slaves have a range of one hundred and eighty feet. It's impossible for them to get close to the moat, even one hundred feet away from the moat!" Nalan Yu shouted loudly.
"Go and be with your brothers. I'll leave it to my eldest brother today!" Li Ye waved his hand.
Nalanyu accepted the order, turned and left.
The eldest prince looked at Li Ye and asked, "Are you sure of this battle?"
Li Ye looked back at him and smiled: "Who has the right to win when it comes to war?"
Woo woo woo...
The cavalry banners of the grassland tribes were fluttering, and the war drums were beating to the sky. They stopped two hundred feet away from Nanyun City.
Standing at the top of the city, Li Ye glanced around and saw a general from the opposing camp, riding a red war horse, wearing silver armor and with a peacock tail on his head, rushing toward Nanyun City. come over.
"Please ask your national advisor to come out and speak!" The general who rushed over was Yelu Qi. He wanted to do his best to persuade Li Ye to surrender.
Li Ye looked at Yeluqi who was standing by the moat and had no idea of leaving the city to see him.
"Brother Yelu, go back, this battle is inevitable!" Li seemed to already know his purpose.
Yeluqi heard Li Ye's voice and looked up. Li Ye was waving to him.
Yeluqi was stunned and shouted: "Brother, you can't defeat us, leave Nanyun City quickly, I don't want to collect your corpse!"
When Li Ye heard Yeluqi's cry, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. If he could still think about his enemy between life and death, how could he still be an enemy?
"Brother Yelu, take your sister out of here and go back to Sanzhen. I promise not to hurt you." Li Ye used the magic power of the Formless Dharma Body to convey every word into Yeluqi's ears.
Yeluqi was stunned and stared blankly at Li Ye on the city wall, speechless for a long time.
He seemed to have a feeling that it was impossible for the grassland tribes to defeat the calm-looking young man in front of him in this battle.
It's just that the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. It's not his decision to make the decision.
Looking at Li Ye on the tower and thinking about what he said, Yeluqi raised his whip and turned around.
Both said what they wanted to tell each other.
To say any more would seem pretentious.
Looking at Yelu Qi leaving, the eldest prince said softly: "I didn't expect that there are brothers from the national master in the grassland tribes."
Li Ye turned to look at him and said with a faint smile: "I only have sentient beings in my eyes, and there are no good or bad people."
The eldest prince was stunned and speechless.
Yang Kaiyi quickly smoothed things over and said with a smile: "It's rare for this guy to come here to remind us of the safety of the Imperial Master."
Li Ye looked at Yelu Qi's back and shook his head. He sighed softly and said, "So what, he can't be the master of Yelu Chucai and the other three kings."
Looking back at the eldest prince, Li Ye said in a deep voice: "Generalissimo, you go back to the house and make a pot of tea with City Master Yang. When we win this big battle, we can celebrate with tea."
The eldest prince took a deep look, turned around and walked back into the house.
He understood Li Ye's painstaking efforts, so he had no choice but to leave.
"The order goes down. As long as the enemy is within range, fire three volleys! Don't let them get close to the moat." Li Ye changed his previous fighting style. He wanted to keep the enemy out of the moat.
He wants to increase the pressure on the enemy.
"Order, if the enemy comes within range, fire three volleys! Don't let them get close to the moat."
"Order, if the enemy comes within range, fire three volleys! Don't let them get close to the moat."
The sound of orders sounded at the top of Nanyun City.
...
The grassland tribes two hundred feet away.
Yelu Qi had already returned to the back of the army. He looked at Yelu Chucai and the other three Khans and shook his head and said, "They will not surrender."
Zhize Suogu looked at Yelu Chucai and said, "Then attack. It's useless to talk more."
Yue Wuxie and Lan Tianqi also shouted in unison: "Let the war begin, King Yeluhan."
Yelu Chucai looked at the three of them quietly, nodded, turned to Yelu Qi and said, "Watch your sister, don't let her mess around."
Yeluqi naturally understood what his father meant, immediately clasped his fists in salute, turned and left.
Yelu Chucai looked at the three Khan kings around him and said, "Send the order and attack the city as planned!"
After receiving the order, the four messengers of the Khan King turned and left.
Woo woo woo...
Dong Dong Dong...
The horns from the edge of the sky sounded again, and the earth-shaking war drums beat. After receiving the order, the armies of the grassland tribes slowly advanced again.
This time, they did not launch a charge. If Li Ye was the same, they changed to a strategic approach.
Just like last time, the infantrymen holding shields walked in the front row, followed by heavy siege catapults.
Xianghu knew that the soldiers of Nanyun City would not leave the city to charge, but the grassland tribes actually placed the heavy siege vehicles in the second queue.
An army of hundreds of thousands marched in uniform steps, slowly rolling towards Nanyun City.
...
Mu Mu, who was standing on the tower, looked at Li Ye and couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to shoot them with a few arrows first?"
Li Ye looked back at him and said with a smile, "What's the use of shooting those soldiers rushing in front?"
Mu Mu looked at him and nodded: "Then I will bear with you."
Seeing the approaching hundreds of thousands of troops, even Li Ye had the urge to mount a war horse, rush out of the city, and use the Wuxiang Dharma Body technique.
He believed that these prairie cavalry could not harm him.
Because my body is invincible in this human world.
At least for now.
It's just that he doesn't dare to take risks, and he still has to command an army to repel these hundreds of thousands of troops.
He also wanted to personally light up the countless large pits that had been prepared for a long time.
Suppressing his impulse, he turned around and looked at Wei Qingyu and said, "Qingyu, keep an eye on Nalanyu and Wang Tianhua. As long as their heavy vehicles are close to the shooting range, shoot for me."
Wei Qingyu nodded, turned and left.
Maybe I felt that the atmosphere was too tense and depressing.
Li Ye suddenly had an idea. He went back to the house and moved out a table and a chair on the tower. He took out the iron piano that he had not used for a long time and placed it gently on the table.
The war is about to begin, and he wants to play a song first.
I saw him playing the piano with both hands, and a tinkling sound was heard, like a soldier on the battlefield drawing out the long sword from his waist. A burst of gold and iron, and an ambush across the battlefield sounded fiercely from his fingers and the strings of the piano.
Heading towards the chilling battlefield, it spread to the ears of the soldiers waiting on the city wall.
"This guy, seeing that the war is about to start, still has the heart to play the piano?" The eldest prince muttered while listening in the room.
"Tianhua, do you hear me? This is my brother. Even if a war is ahead of us, he still wants to play the piano to boost his morale!"
"Brothers, the Imperial Master is playing the piano to cheer us up. When the fight breaks out, don't hold back any of us!"
The cavalry from the grassland tribes who were about to slowly push closer were also stunned when they heard the sonorous sound of Li Ye's piano.
He thought to himself that the people in Nanyun City must have lost their minds. They were about to attack the city, but they actually still had the heart to play the piano.
Even the Four Great Khans, you looked at me and I looked at you, unable to understand the thoughts of the piano player in Nanyun City.
Yelu Qi, who was riding on his horse, looked at Yelu Yan beside him and said softly: "This is that boy playing the piano. He wants to tell us that he has dug a big hole and is waiting for us to jump in."
Yeluyan, who was wearing armor, looked at him, frowned and asked, "This guy is looking for a fight, but he still has the heart to play the piano."
Only Mu Mu and Wei Qingyu knew that this was a rare opportunity.
The two of them were on separate sides, but they were listening with their ears pricked up.
I have dug a huge pit with tens of thousands of people and laid an ambush on all sides. Do you want to get in?
Li Ye murmured to himself.
