    There are more than a hundred dim stars sparsely scattered in the sky, holding a full moon lazily idle in the sky. A few shell-like translucent clouds pass through the moon lightly in the breeze, covering the full moon with a layer of light.  Hazy veil.  In the wasteland beside the Yellow River in the northwest, outside Lingzhou City, a bonfire was burning. A thousand black-armored warriors lined up in a square formation, holding long swords and round shields. Accompanied by the roar of dozens of cowhide war drums around them,  Zheng danced a majestic song "The Music of King Qin Breaking the Formation".  Every time he stood up, every change of formation, brought murderous aura and spread into the surrounding wilderness. The people watching the dance by the campfire simultaneously clapped, cheered, stamped their feet and shouted, making the sound even more fanatical than those dancing soldiers.  roar.  Li Heng, holding a gold cup, stood smiling beside the dancing military formation, drinking with a group of courtiers who had just arrived from Jiannan - including Fang Chu, who was sent from Li Longji to help Li Heng last time.  The second batch of courtiers.

    The noisy but increasingly quiet night made the night seem extremely quiet. On the damaged tower, Jiang Yu hung a wine flask in his hand, lying slanted on the highest eaves of the tower, looking up at the full moon in the sky.  He easily stretched his two long legs out of the cornice, shaking his thighs there, and took a sip of wine from time to time, as if he had forgotten the war outside and the bloody fighting of many monks.  The strong wind swept over and the clouds covered the moon. Jiang Yu, who had been silent for a long time, finally sighed leisurely: "Ziyi, Tianyi, I finally understand why our sect is called Wangyue Sect. Well, well,  Wangyue, Wangyue, what a sad name.¡±

    ???????? Sad?  Is there any connection between the name of Wangyue Sect and Sadness?  The name of Wangyue Sect was derived from the arrow energy that tore apart the bodies of countless monks.  Guo Ziyi, who was sitting on the eaves in the other corner of the tower, looked at Jiang Yu in surprise, picked up the wine jar next to him, took a sip of strong wine, and said in confusion: "How can the word "Wang Yue" be said in such a sad way?" Guo Ziyi is a King Kong who is two feet tall.  At a loss, only Xing Tianyi thought hard for a while, and finally smiled helplessly, and shook his head with a silent sigh.

    Jiang Yu jumped up, sat down leaning against the cornice, and said with a smile: "Look at the moon, look at the moon. It is conceivable that our ancestor, the Great God, was looking at the moon in a daze at night like this. Hehe, is it difficult?  Haven't you heard of the romantic story of our ancestor? His wife secretly took the elixir and flew up to the moon. At that time, he was deprived of all his powers and could only stare at the moon every day on the ground.  Look, what is this if it¡¯s not Wangyue? Hey, Wangyue Sect, isn¡¯t this name a sad one?¡±

    Guo Ziyi spit out a mouthful of wine with a 'pop' sound, and the wine choked his throat, almost causing him to vomit blood.  He looked at Jiang Yu angrily and shook his head repeatedly. Guo Ziyi was completely speechless towards Jiang Yu, his senior brother and nominal boss.  To be able to use such a weird explanation to evaluate the name of his sect, Jiang Yu is probably the first in the monastic world of the Central Plains.  After hurriedly taking a few sips of wine to calm down the churning energy and blood in his chest, Guo Ziyi smiled bitterly and said: "This, maybe? Well, I just received a military report from the army ahead. Senior brother, do you want to hear it?  Listen? Humph, that Fang Zhuo is probably going to cause trouble!"

    Seeing Jiang Yu's unconcerned look, Guo Ziyi smiled bitterly and said: "When Prime Minister Fang led the army, he only had more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, but after he marched for several days, the total number of soldiers and horses from King Qin's army from all over the country rushed to join him.  There are 120,000 to 30,000 people. Because he divided his troops into three armies: left, center, and right. Now, apart from knowing exactly that his center army has about 50,000 horses, I still don¡¯t know the details of the left and right armies. This room official  , the rebel army is powerful, but he actually dares to divide his troops, doesn¡¯t it mean that he doesn¡¯t take the lives of the soldiers as a matter of concern?¡±

    "It doesn't matter!" Jiang Yu waved his hand and said easily: "The rebels probably didn't expect that we could mobilize hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to counterattack. Plus, when the prime minister and the rebels fought, I, the Wind Battalion, was behind.  With help, it will be difficult for him to lose the battle. Well, as long as those demon cultivators don't interfere, there won't be any big problem in counterattacking Chang'an this time."

    Xing Tianyi lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly shook his head. He sighed in a low voice: "But, what I'm afraid of is that this counterattack will cause big problems. I left Senior Brother Guo in Lingzhou instead of leading the army, but asked Senior Brother Guo to continue  Recruiting soldiers and horses in Lingzhou is a bit weird to begin with. Come to think of it"

    ?? Before Xing Tianyi finished his analysis, Li Heng, whose face was red from drinking, had already jumped onto the tower with a wine jar and a beautiful woman in his arms.  The drunken Li Heng staggered a few steps on the tile surface, and raised the wine jar towards Jiang Yu with a smile: "Senior brother Well, it should be Duke Weiwu, hehehe, come on, I'll toast you a drink. This  If we can successfully retake the two capitals, we will have to rely on the help of the powerful commander of the Wind Battalion. Queen, come and propose a toast to my senior brother!" With a 'gudong' sound, Li Heng, who was a little drunk and almost turned upside down, slipped and almost  He didn't fall on the tile surface, so frightened that Guo Ziyi and Xing Tianyi hurriedly??went over to support him, slowly placed him on the ridge and sat down.

    Li Heng's queen, Queen Zhang, walked a few steps on the tile surface generously, walked up to Jiang Yu, showed a small and exquisite silver wine pot in her hand, and toasted to Jiang Yu: "General Jiang,  When the Ai family was in the East Palace, they often heard about the great general's reputation, but they didn't care about it. Today, the Ai family finally lost their lives in the chaos of the soldiers, and they were lucky enough to see the general. He was really powerful. In the future, we will revive the Tang Dynasty.  Great achievements all depend on the great general, General Guo, and the Chief of Punishment." After saying that, Queen Zhang raised the flask and drank the full half kilogram of strong wine without leaving any trace.

    Jiang Yu glanced at Queen Zhang in surprise. The wine now supplied in Lingzhou City is not the light wine that was offered as a tribute to the palace in Chang'an City in the past, such as pear blossom white, grape wine, etc., but the real wine that the northwest man likes.  It is the strongest and poorest quality liquor in the world. Ordinary men cannot drink two ounces of this kind of liquor in one meal. This queen, a delicate woman, can actually drink half a catty in one gulp. It is really heroic.  However, the queen's slightly long cheeks, slender falcon-like eyes, and long chin all made Jiang Yu think that this woman was a very ambitious and scheming woman, and she did not seem to be able to do anything casually.  A person who shows kindness and enthusiasm to others.  However, after all, she is the empress of the present day. Although Jiang Yu would never kneel down and bow to her, he still stood up, bowed to her and laughed loudly: "What the empress said is exaggerated. I am an ordinary person, and I am lucky enough to get something like this."  A little magical change, but no big deal. It is the duty of the minister to assist the emperor in reviving the Tang Dynasty. There is no need for the empress to give too much advice." He also drank the strong wine in the wine pot, and then went to court  Li Heng saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the three armies commanded by Fang Xiang are afraid that they are about to fight the rebels. I will lead the Wind Catcher Battalion to go out to meet them for safety."

    "Well, this this is serious business Once Chang'an is recaptured, the hearts of the people in the world will be shocked, and troops from all over the country will surely come in a steady stream." Li Heng burped, and said with a 'haha' smile: "  Therefore, this time to regain Chang'an, we can only win, not lose. Lord Mighty Everything, please leave it to you." He looked at Jiang Yu eagerly, wishing that Jiang Yu could pat his chest and guarantee success.

    After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yu gently shook his head. Just as he was about to speak, several golden lights as thin as gossamers flashed across the sky in the southeast. Dozens of Taoists in white robes and high crowns, carrying strange-shaped ancient swords on their backs, followed the golden light.  Suddenly appeared in front of everyone.  The middle-aged Taoist who led the team, with his clothes and sleeves flying, his starry eyes shining brightly, and his face as white as jade with a smile on his face, bowed to everyone present and said, "Wanli Jinhong Luoqing, a disciple of the Sword Sect under the Yiqi Immortal Sect, has seen this before.  Long live the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

    Li Heng, who was still drunk just now, suddenly woke up. A strong smell of alcohol appeared on his body. His hazy eyes instantly regained their clarity. He looked at Luo Qing and said enthusiastically: "It turns out to be Master Luo. I don't know whether Master Luo and all the immortals are here."  What's the point of coming here on a crane?" Li Heng quickly glanced at the faces of the old Taoists. He suddenly jumped up and pointed at the two people escorted by the old Taoists and shouted angrily: "Yang Guozhong! Yang Yuhuan!  You, youaren't you dead long ago?" Li Heng remembered clearly the Maweiyi Rebellion. As the prince of the dynasty, he was almost killed by the rebels. However, Yang Guozhong was chopped into a pulp, but Yang Yuhuan was  Did he hang himself to death and make his father, the current Supreme Emperor Li Longji, cry bitterly to this day?

    Jiang Yu, who was standing next to him, sneered: "Your Majesty, how could Yang Guozhong be easily killed by the rebels when he was on good terms with Master Qingyang, a traitor to the Yiqixian Sect? What the Emperor saw that day was probably just  It's just an illusion. As for Yang Yuhuan, hehe" Jiang Yu sneered a few times, and in front of Li Heng, Jiang Yu said extremely viciously: "Your Majesty, I met An Lushan in Chang'an City a few days ago.  On the other hand, he said that he and his wife had a one-night stand, but I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true or not?¡±

    Yang Yuhuan, who was carried by two female Taoists, looked up with a gloomy look. She sneered and glanced at Jiang Yu disdainfully, not bothering to answer his words.  When her dull eyes swept over Li Heng, she suddenly burst into life. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to kill your mother today?"

    It was so late that Luo Qing and other disciples of the Sword Sect didn't even react. Li Heng, who was so angry at Yang Yuhuan's words, raised his hand and struck Yang Yuhuan in the heart with a palm. The force was like a landslide and contained endless meanings.  A powerful palm blasted Yang Yuhuan's chest to pieces, and a cloud of blood mist passed over the two Taoist nuns who quickly dodged, and sprayed out more than ten feet away.  Yang Yuhuan, who still maintained her peerless elegance, showed an expression of disbelief on her beautiful head. A pair of eyes that once had a lot of amorous feelings gradually turned dead white like dead fish, and half of her beautiful body fell with a 'dong' sound.  Falling to the ground, the beautiful head with only half of her neck left fell from the air and landed in the haystacks and ruins of the fire scene under the city tower.

    Yang YuhuanBeing slapped to death by Li Heng, it was not only Yang Guozhong who changed his face, but also Luo Qing and Queen Zhang, especially the eunuch Li Fuguo Li who was downstairs. His face was so frightened that he seemed to be replaying Li Heng's powerful actions.  A thunderous palm.  Yang Guozhong suddenly laughed wildly: "Hahaha, the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked. I, Yang Zhao, have been prosperous and prosperous for decades, but I am not at a loss even if I die today, but I am not at a loss at all! Li Heng, son, how dare you  Kill me?" Looking at Li Heng angrily, Yang Guozhong suddenly pointed at Jiang Yu and laughed loudly: "Jiang Yu, you are still fucking alive? Hey, what are you bragging to me about, Mr. Qingyang, that loser? You have been sealed.  Under the Kunlun Mountains, I will never be reincarnated! Fortunately, I believed in him and bribed your eldest brother Li Linfu's family. A bottle of erysipelas was mixed into his soup hundreds of times. Hehe, the majestic Prime Minister Li was actually  .¡±

    With a 'pop' sound, Yang Guozhong's head suddenly exploded, and a ball of plasma flew away. His soul was blown to pieces by the arrow energy, and he was completely shattered and unable to survive.  Jiang Yu glanced coldly at Luo Qing and other Sword Sect disciples who looked a little ugly, and said calmly: "That's all, I have to be grateful to you all for rescuing him from the rebels in Maweiyi, otherwise I wouldn't be able to kill the enemy today.  Now. Go back and tell Immortal Yiqing, Immortal Qingfeng, and Immortal Baiyuan that most of the things they promised me have been completed. Now as long as your Taoist sect wholeheartedly assists the Emperor in restoring the Tang Dynasty, I, Wangyue, and your Taoist sect will form an alliance in the future.  Let¡¯s put an end to our hatred.¡±

    Luo Qing gave a deep sigh of relief and smiled at Jiang Yu: "Sect Leader Jiang said so, that is the best, the best. It is for this matter that our brothers and sisters came here today. Our Taoist Alliance is willing to do our best  To assist the Emperor in restoring the Tang Dynasty, as long as the Emperor promises, in the future, within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, only our Taoist family will be the sole leader, and our Taoist sect will definitely do our best to serve the Emperor."

    Li Heng¡¯s joy could not be concealed no matter what.  He said happily: "This is a great good, this is a great good. I think so too. I, Li Tang, are the direct descendants of the Taoist ancestor Lao Tzu. This word cannot be written as two Tao. If I, Li Heng, can put down the rebellion and eliminate it,  Those gangs of thieves who rebelled against the Yan Kingdom will regain our country, the Tang Dynasty. From now on, our country, the Tang Dynasty, will definitely respect Taoism. This is a matter of course." After saying 'exclusively respecting Taoism', Li Heng suddenly looked a little ugly, and he turned around  After taking a look at Jiang Yu, I felt that it was difficult to explain this matter with Jiang Yu.  If he only respects Taoism, what should he do with the Wangyue Sect?  No matter what, the biggest asset in Li Heng's hands now is the men of Wangyue Sect.

    Jiang Yu smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, our Wangyue Sect does not ask for secular followers. As long as we leave a mountain gate for our Wangyue Sect in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, that will be enough." He talked to Luo easily.  Qing and other Taoists laughed and said: "Now the emperor is sending the current Prime Minister Fangju to lead a hundred thousand troops to regain Chang'an. There are demon cultivators among the rebels. Fangju may be able to deal with the rebels, but he has no way to deal with the demon.  Li. Our Wangyue Sect¡¯s strength is limited now, so we have to ask all our fellow Taoists to help us.¡±

    Luo Qing smiled very reservedly, nodded and said, "In that case, how about we find a place to discuss in detail? Pindao is here not only to fulfill his promise to Sect Master Jiang, but also for this matter. Our Taoist sect is ready  To eradicate the demon sect lurking in Chang'an City in one fell swoop, the emperor just happened to raise troops at this time, and they are in perfect harmony with our plan." Hearing Luo Qing's words, Li Heng couldn't help but happily brought everyone back to his current palace to discuss secretly.

    Two hours later, when the night was cold and the dew was deep, Jiang Yu led more than 3,000 men from the Wind Catching Battalion out of Lingzhou City and used their skills to rush towards the direction of Fang Chu's army.  Guo Ziyi, Xing Tianyi, Long Chihuo, Bai Meng, Long Yi and others led more than a hundred people from the Catching Camp to guard Li Heng in Lingzhou City, and at the same time monitored the dozens of Yiqi Immortal Sect Sword Sect who stayed to guard Li Heng.  doorman.  Xing Tianyi's analysis was very insightful. From what Luo Qing said, he said that once the Taoists helped Li Heng to pacify the world, the Tang Dynasty would dominate the Taoists. It is obvious that the Taoists were involved in this rebellion.  .  Thinking of An Lushan's loud howl to Jiang Yu, "I was forced", and the fact that Yang Guozhong, who should have died in Maweiyi long ago, was rescued by a Taoist sect, Jiang Yu also had a strong influence on this group of Taoists.  Deep wariness.

    At noon on the second day, Jiang Yu, who had already led the army to the vicinity of Fangju's army, did not meet with Fangju. He led more than 3,000 people to hide on a mountain about ten miles away from the right wing of the Tang army.  They used the secret method of the witch guard to restrain their auras. Although they practiced the 'Criminal Nerve' method with no future, after all, they inherited the secret of the heart method of the Wangyue Sect. Once these three thousand people exercise their skills,  , they hide in the woods like big rocks, not afraid of being discovered by the demon cultivator's consciousness.  Regarding this battle plan, the plan proposed by Xing Tianyi was in line with Jiang Yu's wishes: instead of letting the few men and soldiers of the Wind Catching Battalion divide their rescue operations into three separate groups, it would be better to focus on guarding only Fang Chu's group of Chinese troops.  I think Fangju was the nominal commander-in-chief and also the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. If the rebels wanted to attackIf they fight, they will definitely start with Fangju's Chinese army. Therefore, before Fangju's Chinese army is defeated, the probability of the other two armies encountering the rebels is extremely small.

    The guarantee from Luo Qing, the representative of the Taoist sect, is that no matter how the battle plan is formulated, they will send sword cultivators from the Yiqi Immortal Sect Sword Sect and physical practitioners from the Penglai Sanxian Sect who practice **Xuan Gong. These two sects have the strongest attack power.  The monks who assisted Jiang Yu in the battle must eradicate all the demon cultivators in the rebel army and take some of the pressure off the Dao Sect's operation to encircle and annihilate the demons in Chang'an City.  When discussing the battle plan, Luo Qing was very optimistic. He easily calculated that if the battle here in Jiangyu went well, a group of magic cultivators from Chang'an would probably be dispatched to support. By then, the Taoist sect would launch a surprise attack on Chang'an.  Even more smoothly, all the demon cultivators in Chang'an were wiped out. If the two sides attacked from a pincer attack, the demon cultivators in the rebel brigade would certainly not escape their fate.

    Lying on a big branch with his legs crossed, his spiritual consciousness kept scanning Fang Chu's army, and Jiang Yu couldn't help but murmur.  The wishful plan on my side is very good, but on the side of the rebels and demon cultivators, will they be defeated so easily?  Somehow, Jiang Yu always had a deep uneasiness in his heart, an uneasiness that made him feel ridiculous.

    On this day, the sun was shining brightly, and strips of hazy moisture were rising on the red land. Walking on this scorched land, even those with weak bodies could not breathe.  The rain is irregular this year, and there is no trace of water anywhere in the place called Chentaoxie outside Xianyang City. It is just a patch of gray stones and red soil. The few woods are all thin and feeble, and they are withered and yellow.  The leaves hang on the branches, as if they are ready to fall into the earth at any time, completing this short reincarnation.  At noon, when the birds were not singing and the animals were not running, all the birds and animals were panting and playing in the shade. But the sound of footsteps that made the earth tremble slightly came from afar, and Fangju's army arrived.

    More than 40,000 and nearly 50,000 troops marched on the land. The scene was extremely majestic.  The area that was three miles long and more than one mile wide was covered by the Tang army arranged in a dense square formation. When Jiang Yu's spiritual sense scanned this army, the first thing he felt was that he saw dense ants.  The flag of the Tang Army was carried high on the bamboo pole by the flag bearer, but there was no wind, the flag did not move at all, and was lifeless without any sign of life.  The few drummers who were at the front of the procession beating the drums were also lazy and lacked energy. The sound of the drums was scattered and sounded like a mourner.  Even the phalanx was crooked and out of shape. The soldiers in the team all looked numb, and some of the soldiers were not even equipped with armor, bows and arrows.

    Jiang Yu, who was watching all this from a distance, couldn't help but let out a long sigh. In the past few days, he had also figured out the changes in the Tang Dynasty in the past twenty years.  Long gone.  Almost twenty years after An Yang's death, the imperial soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and even other armies of various organizations had completely lost their combat effectiveness. Many soldiers were just ordinary farmers who went into battle, and were not as good as Anlu.  The hundreds of thousands of fierce men under Shan's command have been provoking and fighting against the Turks and Goguryeo for many years.  The more than 40,000 Tang troops in front of him, according to Jiang Yu's thinking, if it were the sergeants he led to the northern Xinjiang to mine the soil of Xiantian Sunflower Water, only 5,000 people would be able to defeat these more than 40,000 soldiers and horses.

    Shaking his head, Jiang Yu's spiritual consciousness swept over him. The monk sent by the sect to contact him and coordinate the battlefield command was floating in a white cloud in the sky three to five miles away. He suddenly felt at ease.

    Fangju, who was riding on a white horse and wearing a thin silver armor, took a breath on the horse, raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his face, and asked loudly: "General Yang, where are we?"

    Yang Xiwen, the deputy general next to Fangju, snorted feebly, shook his head to wake up, and then replied: "Prime Minister, this is Chen Taoxie, eh, yesterday I heard the spies say that there is a rebellion nearby.  The soldiers and horses of the army are out and about, and there are a lot of them. If we encounter them, we can defeat them in one fell swoop and boost the morale of the soldiers before attacking Chang'an."

    Fang Chuu twirled his beard and smiled, nodded and said: "This is exactly the reason. My king's master is ordered by the king of the Tang Dynasty to attack the traitors, and as a teacher of benevolence, righteousness and morality, he attacks the treasonous, unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust people. There is no way to win."  Defeated. If there is a traitor who hears the news and surrenders, be sure not to kill too many animals, as it goes against God's virtue of saving lives." His words made several lieutenants around him nod in agreement, but they almost died of anger.  A river fish watching from ten miles away.  With the virtues of the arrogant soldiers under An Lushan, would they surrender to a bad old man like you?  Fang Ju raised his hand to build a sunshade in front of his forehead, looked up at the blue sky with a red sun hanging high in the sky, swallowed his throat that was so dry that it was almost smoking, hesitated for a moment, and then ordered: "  Tell the men to stop and have a rest. There happen to be a few woods nearby. Once the men have regained their energy, they can move forward and defeat the thieves in one fell swoop."

    Yang Xiwen, who was also unable to bear the heat, nodded repeatedly.He agreed and said with a smile: "Fang Xiang sympathizes with the soldiers. This is the luck of the sons. This behavior of Fang Xiang also agrees with the art of war. We have come from afar, but we are a tired army. If we rashly fight with those in front  When the enemy forces fight, we use our twilight energy to attack others' vigour. Although we have the upper hand with King Renyi's army, we cannot help but suffer losses. Once the soldiers have regained their strength, we can annihilate the traitor in one fell swoop and regain the city of Chang'an.  My first contribution is to the prime minister."

    Yang Xiwen flattered Fangju very well here. Tens of thousands of troops were about to squeeze into the woods. When the formation was in chaos, the rebels of the Yan Kingdom were not willing to give them a chance to build up their strength.  ?  The black mass of more than 30,000 rebels, including more than 10,000 cavalry, turned out from behind a hill in front and formed an assault formation with cavalry in the middle and infantry on both wings, and archers in front of the infantry. Slowly  The Tang army pressed forward several miles away.  The morale of the rebels was different from that of the Tang army. After traveling all morning and being exposed to the sun for so long, the Tang army was tired and listless.  However, the rebels had been nourished and energetic in the camp, and they were rewarded with looted assets. This was the time when their morale was at its highest.  I saw these rebels opening their mouths one by one, showing their white teeth, making the most ferocious faces, howling and slowly approaching.

    Fang Ju, Yang Xiwen and other leading generals who had just dismounted and took off their armor in the forest were startled at the same time. They didn't even bother to put on their armor. They jumped on their horses and urged their subordinate generals, colonels, and lieutenants to issue a series of orders and hurry up.  Like ducks, they drove more than 40,000 troops out of the woods. According to the extremely ancient military formation that Fang Chu learned from somewhere, more than 2,000 ox carts dragging baggage were arranged in a line in front to block the enemy.  The cavalry of the army, with thick infantry on both sides, shouted at the same time and charged towards the rebels.  Poor these Tang soldiers, just when their pulses were boiling, Fang Zhu ordered them to rest in the forest. As soon as they sat down, their blood energy suddenly dispersed, and the strength in their bodies was weakened by 70 to 80%. At this moment, the enemy army came  After the attack, Fang Chuu urged them to quickly form a formation to meet the enemy, and ran forward to meet the enemy in large strides. Half of the remaining 20 to 30% of their strength was unknowingly lost.

    Using an ox cart to attack the enemy's cavalry was originally a good strategy. If the soldiers on both sides were equal in terms of morale, physical strength, and quality, Fang Chuo would still have a fighting chance.  However, under the command of Fang Chu, the morale of this army has long been depleted, and its physical strength is only 12%. In terms of quality, how can these soldiers, who may have been farmers a few months ago, compete with An Lushan and Shi Siming?  Comparable to the elite of hundreds of battles?  What's more, Fang Chuo was at a loss of command. When the army rushed forward, he actually lost control of the army. All the immediate command rights fell into the hands of the deputy generals, captains and others who were also not familiar with military affairs.  What's even worse is that there are also those terrifying demon cultivators in the rebel ranks.

    Jiang Yu¡¯s spiritual consciousness swept through and found that among the more than 30,000 rebels, there were only a few 300 demon cultivators, and the dozen or so most powerful among them were just people who had just become demon infants.  Judging from the fact that the Demon Sect has plundered so many heavenly materials and earthly treasures in Kunlun Mountain, the Demon Cultivators who have now become Demon Infants were nothing more than cannon fodder minions in the Demon Sect before.  However, such minions are also fatal to Fang Chu's army.  Before Jiang Yu decided whether to annihilate the more than 300 people first, a middle-aged man wearing a white robe with a bit of rosy face had already twisted his waist and moved to the front of the army's formation with "Lotus Steps".  A clear but soft and lingering voice resounded throughout the battlefield: "Bang the drum~~~Oh! The wind is blowing!"

    'Bang, bang, bang, bang', hundreds of big cowhide drums were pushed out from behind the rebel formation. Hundreds of naked Turkic men with their hair in pigtails were holding bone hammers made from bison leg bones, going crazy.  Beating the cowhide war drum in front of him.  Countless strange and ferocious words were painted on the war drums with blood. A drum sound that shook the soul and gave rise to infinite fear in the plains came from the hundreds of war drums. At the same time, there was a hazy bloody light.  And as the man who was obviously a Gandharva demon cultivator waved his hands lightly, the wind suddenly rose between heaven and earth, and strong winds like dragon tails blew from behind the rebels towards the Tang army's camp. First, from the sky,  The rebels then gained the upper hand.

    Then, the bloody drum sound made the cattle and horses pulling the more than two thousand cattle cars go crazy at the same time. These cattle and horses made extremely miserable screams and dragged the carts filled with luggage indiscriminately.  They turned around and rushed towards the Tang army's formation. For a moment, the Tang army's formation was in chaos. Hundreds of soldiers were extremely unlucky to be trampled by the hooves of the oxen and horses, and were crushed by the heavy baggage vehicle and turned into a ball.  Fuzzy pieces of flesh collapsed on the ground.  As soon as the ox-cart moved, the rebel cavalry was approaching the two armies that were less than a mile away from each other. The rebel cavalry shouted, and thousands of rebel cavalrymen rode wildly at the same time. First, there were densely packed and countless arrows blowing in the direction of the strong wind.  Shooting towards the Tang army.  Under the strong wind that makes people unable to open their eyes, there is no need to work hard at all.When the bow is opened, the arrow can be shot far and near along with the wind, and the force is several times stronger than that shot by the strong bow. Thousands of arrows immediately knocked down more than a thousand people in the Tang army.

    Seeing that the Tang Army suffered a setback, the rebel soldiers immediately cheered and followed the cavalry brigade towards the Tang Army's main formation.  At this moment, you can see the gap in physical strength and combat skills between the rebels and the Tang army. It took the rebels two slashes before the Tang army could swing one. Each of the rebels' swords struck a fatal blow at the Tang army. Many of the Tang army's  The soldier just instinctively used the knife to chop the enemy's head, which was tightly protected by the helmet.  What makes people even more helpless is that the horizontal knives of the rebels weighed 17 to 18 kilograms, and one strike was enough to split a sturdy man into two pieces. However, the wooden-handled swords used by many people in the Tang army only weighed 3 to 5 kilograms.  Not even the rebels' shields and armor could be split.

    Jiang Yu, who was hesitating whether to attack, had just hesitated for a meal when more than 5,000 Tang troops fell. The Tang troops were in chaos, shouting loudly, throwing down their weapons and helmets, and ran away.  The more than 10,000 Tang troops in the front army were in chaos. The more than 5,000 defeated troops immediately smashed the rear army's position into chaos. Fang Zhuo and his group's central army also became loose. They could only hold on for a quarter of an hour, waiting for the Tang army's attack.  The supervising team managed to gather the defeated soldiers, and only more than 2,000 defeated soldiers remained. In this quarter of an hour, more than 3,000 people were killed by the rebels.  The originally red soil has now turned into a crimson color, which looks so dazzling under the strong light of the red sun.  The hundreds of demon cultivators standing motionless at the back laughed wildly. In their view, it was too easy to dominate a decisive battle involving tens of thousands of people.  Those demon cultivators who practiced the Asura Sect's demonic warfare skills even opened their mouths, greedily absorbing the remaining battle souls and blood breath of the killed warriors on the battlefield. Circles of blood spurted out from their bodies.  As it turned out, their cultivation was rapidly increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.  Those demons belonging to the Gandharva Way stood far away, looking at these "bloody and rude" fellow demon cultivators with disdain, and occasionally cast a few small spells to make the strong wind stronger.

    The army was about to be defeated, especially the more than 10,000 rebel cavalry, which caused heavy casualties to the Tang army. Fang Chu finally summoned a few lieutenants and loudly issued military orders.  The cattle and horses that had not escaped far from the trailer were killed, and the cattle carts were untied, and the tree trunks in the woods a few miles behind the Tang Army's formation were used to form a cylindrical array. The remaining Tang Army's nearly  All 40,000 soldiers and horses huddled in the cylindrical formation. Countless spears were thrust out from between the ox cart and the tree trunks. The frightened Tang Army archers also opened their strong bows and dropped sharp arrows at the enemy.  .  Although the trees in the woods were sparse, they also limited the cavalry's mobility to a minimum. The Tang army's counterattack immediately caused more than a thousand rebel cavalry to fall from their horses. This result immediately boosted the morale of the Tang army. With the brave Tang army soldiers  He even stood on the bullock cart, holding a Mo Dao and a long spear, and fought with the rebels. The forest was immediately filled with blood.

    Just at the critical moment when the Tang army was about to stand firm and wait for an opportunity to counterattack, and the morale of the rebels was dampened, the hundreds of demon cultivators watching the battle finally took action.  A Gandharva female cultivator smiled coldly, and a strange light shot out from the Gandharva's unique protective bracelet. A red fox with two tails jumped out of the strange light, and turned towards the female cultivator.  Xiu pounced.  The female cultivator let out an extremely painful scream, and her body actually merged with the fiery red fox.  The woman turned into a human and stood up, but her body became strangely similar to a combination of a human and a fox. The female cultivator, who had a patch of red hair and some strange red lines on her cheeks, smiled sinisterly, and suddenly  He opened his big mouth and sprayed out balls of fire toward the woods several miles away.

    The fallen leaves, tree trunks, branches and other objects in the forest have long been withered by the scorching sun. Now thousands of blue fireballs the size of bowls fell from the sky, immediately lighting up countless fireballs in the forest.  Fire head.  What was even more frightening was that the strong wind blowing from behind the rebels became stronger and stronger, causing fires everywhere to pull up long fire dragons, turning the woods into a sea of ????fire.  Only a few hundred rebel soldiers were injured by the fireworks, but the entire Tang army formation was engulfed in a sea of ??flames.  In an instant, the Tang army's formation collapsed completely. Almost all the soldiers dropped their weapons, took off their burdensome armor, and fled toward the forest naked.

    Outside the forest, there are many rebels with swords and guns.  This is not even a massacre. A massacre requires at least a lot of energy. However, these Tang soldiers who escaped from the sea of ????fire fell to the ground powerlessly, but were casually looked at by those "Jie Jie" grinning rebels.  Stab him to death like a chicken.  More soldiers had no chance of escaping from the sea of ??fire. The temperature of the green flames was frighteningly high. The armor and weapons on many soldiers melted, and their bodies were reduced to nothing along with the burning molten iron.  Fang Zhuo was lucky. Under the protection of a group of loyal soldiers, he rushed out of the sea of ????fire from another direction with smoke and fire, and fled in a hurry with the fear of death.Channel.

    In the battle of Chen Taoxie, more than 40,000 Tang soldiers were killed, and less than 2,000 fled with Fangju. Yang Xiwen and other generals surrendered to the rebels. They were very obedient and were tied up with ropes by the rebels like pigs in a pigsty and thrown into the river.  On the saddle.  The casualties of the more than 30,000 rebels will never exceed 4,000. This battle can be regarded as a complete victory.  The rebel generals simultaneously drew their weapons and cheered to the sky, while the hundreds of demon cultivators yawned lazily and smiled mockingly in disapproval.  The body of the female cultivator who was strangely integrated with the fox flashed with fire. The fox looked a little tired and fell off the female cultivator's body, turning into a strange light and integrating into the bracelet.  The female cultivator also suddenly fell to the ground, panting and coughing rapidly, sweating profusely all over her body.

    Jiang Yu sighed, not expecting that his momentary hesitation actually caused Fang Chu's disastrous defeat.  Looking at the hundreds of demonic cultivators who failed to win, Jiang Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was these dozen demonic infant stage demon cultivators and hundreds of demonic cultivators equivalent to the golden elixir stage. Just two of them defeated Tang Jun.  Losing or losing, can Jiang Yu be blamed for this?  Is Fang Chu's army too weak?  However, after all, these tens of thousands of troops were wiped out because of Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu always felt that he needed to do something.  Maybe annihilating this group of rebels together with these hundreds of demon cultivators will make me look more honorable in front of Li Heng?  He shook his head and looked around. Except for a few more people in the white cloud, he didn't find out where the Taoist people were hiding. Jiang Yu didn't bother to wait any longer. He gave an order and more than 3,000 people from the Wind Camp were hid.  The sergeant rushed out of the woods at the same time.  He didn't believe it anymore. When he and the Demon Sect started a full-scale war, would those Dao Sect people have the nerve to continue hiding?
