Chapter 340 When the Fame Shakes the World, the Agreement between You and Me (asking for monthly ticket)

After hearing such heroic words, Li Zhaowen was stunned for a long time, then he laughed and said, "Ha, really heroic! Although I'm sorry to the many soldiers in your Anxi City, this time, their lord will be borrowed by me!"

"Come, put on your armor."

Li Zhaowen personally took Li Guanyi to the armory of the Duke's Mansion.

There were all kinds of treasures, armor, and weapons stored here. Li Zhaowen brought people here personally, so naturally no one dared to say anything. When Li Yuanchang saw these two people coming together, he avoided them from a distance.

After thinking about it, he told Li Jianwen about it.

But Li Jianwen just covered his forehead, feeling tired.

I feel like things have come to this point anyway.

Five hundred thousand wolf-tooth barbed arrows were given away.

Who cares about these?
Li Jianwen said: "Let them go."

Even though Li Yuanchang was unhappy, he did not dare to anger his elder brother and second sister at the same time. He was just depressed and gloomy, and went to find a singing girl to vent his feelings.

Li Guanyi took out a brocade battle robe, a set of cold iron armor with mountain patterns, a tiger-swallowing waist, and civil and military sleeves, and changed into many weapons - he was too strong, but because the Tiger Roaring Sky Halberd was in the Jiuzhou Cauldron, he could transfer the aura of the magic weapon into the weapon.

He took a heavy gun of Xuanbing level.

There were also halberds, but Li Guanyi wanted to conceal his identity as much as possible. Anyway, he was very good at using guns, so he and Li Zhaowen led the 800 people out of the city and rushed to the battlefield.

The purpose of this fight is to break the formation and momentum, using both swords and guns.

The silver-haired girl does not have any martial arts skills and cannot go with them. After all, Yaoguang is good at marching large armies. Such a small-scale surprise attack is not her forte. Li Guanyi told Yaoguang many things and asked Yaoguang to conceal her breath and wait here, and to find out some things as the situation warrants.

Changsun Wuchou had already used Li Zhaowen's rare bird, the Golden Peng, to send a message to Anxi City.

Lei Laomeng received the letter and went to report it himself without mentioning Pojun.

Po Jun flipped through the letter and laughed. Fan Qing asked curiously, and Po Jun said calmly: "My plan worked. It was General Fan Qing and General Qibili who both followed the lord for a long time and have experience in fighting on the battlefield."

“But it failed to become famous.”

"The situation is changing, and it's like a storm. It's the time for the dragon to rise. Generals, are you willing to lead the army? We will replace the leather armor with iron armor, and we will also have 3,000 sets of horse and man equipment and tens of thousands of sharp weapons."

Both of them were shocked, and Pojun gave each of them a secret plan, asking Qibili to lead 3,000 golden scimitar cavalry, the original leaders of the nine Tiele tribes under Qibili, and generals such as Fan Qing to lead their troops to make a total of 10,000 people.

"The Lord is over there. You all lead your troops there and serve under him."

"The flags were spread out, stretching for dozens of miles, and the drums and gongs were beating, as if a large army was marching out."

Fan Qing said: "Then Anxi City."

Po Jun said: "General Wang Shunchen, the sharpshooter, is famous in all directions. We cannot act rashly this time. We must stay in Anxi City to defend it. The generals are leading the troops out with such a great momentum, just to let the Western Regions know that Anxi City has sent out all its elite troops."

The counselor smiled faintly, with purple light in his eyes:

"They must have thought that our city's defenses were weak."

"He will lead his army to join in the fun. The situation is so chaotic that we can use the [Empty City Strategy] to kill the powerful people around us."

Fan Qing, Qibili and other generals were all pleased and convinced by Po Jun. Without saying much, they selected the troops. Qibili led 6,000 troops and Fan Qing led 4,000 troops, making a total of 10,000 troops. They stretched out the battle line as if they were going to go to war, and rushed towards Yemen Pass in a mighty manner.

Anxi City has been very powerful during this period.

All the surrounding city-states, big and small, were subdued. Now seeing the continuous march of the army, they were cautious and did not dare to act rashly. Po Jun also used various strategies to create a situation where the defense of Anxi city was weak.

Those nobles were naturally very excited.

At the same time, the troops in Xiyi City also moved according to Li Zhaowen's strategy. Both sides marched out together with great momentum. The city gate of Yemen Pass was surrounded. The 100,000-strong army was huge and continuous.

There were seven tribes in total, including Dayuan, Dashi, Yuezhi, Shule, Gongyue, Kucha and Shatuo. They had a total of 100,000 people, all of whom were extremely brave. Although they were not as elite as the Qiang tribe's Qiexue Army, they were also capable and good fighters.

They only surrounded the city, but they never expected that the little-known Duke of Ying, Li Shude, actually had some skills. Although he suffered a loss in the field battle at the beginning, when he returned to the city, those brave generals led the defense and the coalition forces could not defeat him for a while.

They had intended to lay siege, but they also sent out scouts.

The news came that a large army was coming from Xiyi City. I also heard that the damned Central Plains merchant Tianger had also sent out his elite cavalry of hundreds of tribes, who were coming from two directions, with flags flying and stretching for dozens of miles.

"I'm afraid there are hundreds of thousands of troops!"

When the scouts passed on the news, the general of Shatuo State was furious:
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"As for that poor fellow from Anxi City, who is so greedy for money, how could he have so much money to raise an army of more than 100,000?"

"That man is stupid. He used all his money to buy serfs and slaves, and even allowed those wandering tribes to stay in his city. How can he have a large army?"

"Ying State is currently engaged in a war with Chen State and the Turks, and the situation is tense on all sides. The old man brought 60,000 soldiers this time, and can send out hundreds of thousands more, plus those guarding the city."

"Are you going to tell me that there are actually 300,000 soldiers and horses in this border city of Xiyi?"

"Such strength, in this chaotic world."

"Li Shude has been planning to rebel for a long time!"

"How can I lie dormant?"

"roll!"

The general of Shatuo State pushed the scout away, extremely angry. His reason told him that this was impossible. However, even the most rational person would hesitate and feel uneasy when hearing the news.

Along with intelligence scouts constantly passing it back.

Along with this damn big city, there was no way I could take it down.

This feeling of uneasiness began to gradually ferment in my heart.

The commander-in-chief was like this, not to mention the other ordinary officers and soldiers. Slowly, some unrest arose among the coalition forces, but it was still barely suppressed.

The Shatuo general said, "Surround this city!"

"There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in this city, and there is simply not enough food. Once the morale is low, something bad will definitely happen." He repeatedly ordered the coalition forces to attack fiercely, but each attack was resolved. Even though he did not believe that the other side really had hundreds of thousands of reinforcements, the fear in his heart still made him subconsciously intensify the attack.

He stared at the high wall.

He was filled with resentment, drew his sword and struck a stone, and cursed: "Damn Central Plains people!"

"If you have the guts, come out and fight us in an open battle. You only know how to build a city and use iron and stone traps to defend yourself. You are a coward, a coward!"

He kept cursing and attacking the city. Although he failed to take it for several days, he did cause huge casualties in the city. This time, all the tribes risked their lives and became enemies with Ying State. Ying State was a big country in the Central Plains. Once it recovered, it would definitely attack with a large army.

But the world situation has come to this point, and they are unwilling to accept and bow their heads.

So do this with all your might.

The situation in Yemen City was also extremely bad. There were enemy troops outside whose number was almost equal to that of all the soldiers and civilians in the entire city combined, and the morale of the troops was in chaos.

Moreover, the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, and the food rations in the city can only last for ten days. Even if reinforcements from the Central Plains arrive, it will take at least two months.

The houses in this city have been demolished and used as defensive equipment.

The warriors from various tribes in the Western Regions were very brave. They formed a formation and shot arrows, the farthest of which almost hit Li Shude. He was accompanied by some young men from the Li family, and had never seen such a grand scene of 100,000 people besieging a city. He was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Those who were mentioned before as being good at using troops now had pale faces, cried day and night, and their eyes were swollen. Li Shude, on the other hand, was still calm, and even had the leisure to put on his armor and climb up to the high platform to watch.

"Wow, what a spectacle!"

From afar, the Western Region coalition forces were seen everywhere, wearing different kinds of armor, including heavy leather armor made of multiple layers of leather. The armor had strong defensive capabilities and was much lighter than the heavy armor of the Central Plains.

They are all over the mountains and plains, everywhere.

With such a momentum, forming a large army, the momentum is very magnificent.

An army of one hundred thousand men had the absolute power to destroy a country in the Western Regions.

"The enemy is so fierce, this time it is dangerous..."

"These barbarians all hate me, Da Ying."

Duke Li used the weapon in his hand to deflect the arrow, and felt a little numb in his palm. After all, he was the Duke of a country, and he didn't know which brave archer shot it. There were many natural treasures, and he pushed it to the realm of the sixth heaven, but it only stopped there.

Duke Li knew clearly that his mental will and physical strength were not strong enough with his practice, and he would never be able to become a master in this lifetime. His favorite general Xiahou Duan remained silent and said, "Duke, why don't we abandon this city..."

Li Shude raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Xiahou Duan was the grandson of the Minister of the Left, and was acquainted with Li Shude. When they were young, they were both brave and heroic. They were also ranked 79th on the list of famous generals in the world. He said, "There is no city in the world that can be defended for a long time without being defeated."

"There are 120,000 people in the city, but only enough food for ten days, and arrows are running out."

"We have demolished all the houses to make rolling stones, but how long can they last? Without the corresponding crossbow arrows, the mechanical devices of the Mohist school are just a pile of scrap metal and are completely useless."

"As time goes by, everyone will not be able to eat enough and rest well, and the soldiers' spirit will gradually decline. It is better to take advantage of now, when they are still at their peak, to gather thousands of elite cavalry and break out of the siege."

"Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will help you escape from this predicament."

Duke Li threw the arrow in his hand and said, "I naturally believe in your loyalty and bravery, but it's a pity that I can go out with you when I'm young, but you can't..."

"If I abandon this city and the army, even if I can escape, my family's reputation will be ruined. If your majesty investigates me one day, I will be killed. It is better for me to die here in the city."

"If I die, it will be a provocation from the Western Regions, and the Duke will die for his country."

"The greater good is with us."

"It can ensure my child's wealth and prosperity for the rest of his life."

"If you live, you will disgrace your ancestors and implicate your relatives; if you die, you will still have a good reputation and honor in the world. It is natural to make the choice."

Duke Li drew his bow and shot an arrow. When the arrow fell, it killed a Western Region elite cavalryman. "When you and I were young, we followed your majesty's orders to quell the uprising in Longmen. I shot 72 arrows in a row and all hit the target. The enemy was defeated, but we were poor at that time."

"I also picked up the arrows shot at the enemy and used them again."

"I never thought that I would die in this way."

Duke Li smiled and said, "It would be a great pleasure for a man to die surrounded and killed by a hundred thousand brave men! It's a pity that the world is in turmoil and I can't participate."

He paused and said, "No, not really."

"It is your death and mine that will cause chaos in the Western Region!"

"Isn't it a great pleasure for a man to reach this point?"

The old Duke showed his heroic spirit again. Xiahou Duan respected him even more and said, "I will definitely stay by my lord's side until the very end."

The old Duke laughed out loud.

But I feel regret in my heart.

It's not that he doesn't want to run, but he can't run away.

The Western Regions are good at light cavalry, which come and go like the wind. He still has enough strength to stay in the city, but he will die faster if he goes out. He is cautious and deep-minded and is absolutely unwilling to take risks. However, despite this, he still pretends to be heroic.

His mind is so cunning that even his childhood friend Xiahou Duan cannot see through it.

If he could survive, Li Shude would not refuse, but if he had to die, he had to leave his dignity behind.

"Even if it's death..."

The old duke leaned on his sword and said: "I want to die like a hero."

"Running for his life, he was chased and shot in the desert."

"It's so embarrassing."

"It's not the spirit of an aristocratic family."

He looked into the distance, and there was still a desire in his heart, hoping that his son could come to save him, but he also knew that with the current strength of the troops in Xiyi City, it would be impossible for him to come. If a large army really came here, he would have to die here.

That meant his son had deserted his post and abandoned the border.

The old Duke thought in his heart.

"If someone really comes here to save me..."

"If that's my child, then he's my only heir."

"And if it's someone else."

"Then no matter what his wish is, I will agree to it."

"But how is this possible?"

The siege lasted until dusk that day, and there were heavy casualties in the city. An elder of the Mohist school helped defend the city, and the support of the Mohist disciples helped hold on. In the beginning, when the enemy climbed the city, they could collect human feces and boil it to make golden soup.

It was poured directly at people with scalding water, and those who were hit got burn wounds on their faces, which became infected and rotten, and they went down screaming.

The Golden Soup was extremely effective in removing the wound, and was a severe attack on the spiritual level for any rational person. Later, when wood, stone, and coal were not enough, arrows and swords were soaked in the [Golden Soup], and any wound that was inflicted on the enemy would be infected.

If the arrow is shot and penetrates deep into the body, the effect will be even greater and the person will die within a few days.

However, the people from the Western Regions were also brave. They continuously shot volleys of arrows and, with the help of formations, dropped from the sky, causing much more mental pressure than physical damage to the people in the city.

Siege warfare itself is an extremely cruel tactic.

Whether it is for the attacking party or the defending party.

With the "reinforcements" from Xiyi City and Anxi City coming in large numbers, and with the support of the Mohist guards, the Western Region coalition forces were unable to capture the city after a long siege, and their morale began to become unstable. However, due to the restraint of the generals, they were able to maintain stability.

However, such stability is like a teacup placed on a rolling log.

But if you are not careful, you will fall down completely.

Total collapse.

At this moment, Li Guanyi and Li Zhaowen finally waited for the opportunity. They led 800 extremely brave black-armored cavalrymen to a high position, from where they could see the endless camps and sieges from afar.

Although they were motivated by the huge reward, at this moment these Black Armored Soldiers still felt extremely uneasy and fearful. A hundred thousand troops were lying in front of them, and the roars, shouts, and even the sounds of swords waving through the air and arrows shooting together formed a [battlefield].

The huge feeling of oppression can make people breathless.

Li Zhaowen narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath. Even she felt a little nervous at this moment. Although she often led troops to fight, she had never had the opportunity to participate in such a large-scale war involving more than 100,000 people.

When there are more than ten thousand people, it becomes a sea of ​​people, endless.

What’s more, there are one hundred thousand people.

Eight hundred people seemed to be drowned by a single spit in front of these one hundred thousand people. Even the bravest people would be frightened at this moment. Li Zhaowen raised his eyes to Li Guanyi beside him, who had a calm expression.

Li Guanyi withdrew his gaze.

Noticing Li Zhaowen's gaze and her hand grasping the spear, Li Guanyi knew that this was the first time for this good brother to come to such a battlefield, and naturally felt nervous.

Li Guanyi pulled his warhorse and came to Li Zhaowen's side, holding out his hand: "Come."

Li Zhaowen raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes full of doubt: "What?"

Li Guanyi said, "High five."

Li Guanyi lowered his voice: "Nervous?"

Li Zhaowen asked, "Why would I be nervous?"

Then he paused and said, "It's just that the feeling of seeing a hundred thousand people fighting in history and seeing a hundred thousand people marching in a mighty force is different after all. I feel panic, worry, and excitement in my heart."

Li Guanyi looked at Li Zhaowen.

He knew that Li Zhaowen was also worried about his father being trapped in the city and unable to contact him. He didn't know whether he was in danger or not, and whether he was safe. All the famous generals in the world grew up step by step.

Li Guan smiled and said, "I never thought that I would have such an opportunity to see you, Erlang, so young and immature."

Li Zhaowen asked: "What?"

Li Guanyi said, "Because I know that after this battle, you will be familiar with the momentum of this level of battlefield. For a person like you, a battle of 100,000 will not be your end, but this time..."

Li Guan raised his hand, bent his fingers, and knocked on Li Zhaowen's helmet.

"Leave it to me."

"You come to hold the line for me."

Li Zhaowen looked at Li Guanyi with his phoenix eyes and said with a smile, "Oh?"

"Since I was a child, no one has ever dared to say, 'You'll support me.'"

Li Guanyi sat on his horse, holding his spear horizontally, bowed slightly, and said with a smile:
"I'd be honored."

Li Zhaowen's nervousness eased a little. Li Guanyi looked at the eight hundred brave men over there. These people were very nervous. Although they had already made up their minds to die, it was different after all to see it with their own eyes.

Their current situation is somewhat similar to Qin Wuyang assassinating King Qin.

Even if you are prepared, you will still be afraid when the time comes.

The gun in Li Guanyi's hand hit the armor, making a clear and murderous sound. He looked at the eight hundred black armor soldiers. These people looked at Li Guanyi in confusion. To be honest, the reputation of [Tianger], a traveling merchant from the Central Plains, was not good in Xiyi City.

They were all curious about how Li Guanyi had the courage to come here.

Li Guanyi said: "Do you think we are here to die?"

The eight hundred Black Armored Army said nothing.

They knew that their purpose was to undermine the morale of the Western Region coalition. Even if they were not sending themselves to die, they would still be in danger of death. Li Guanyi smiled and said, "I am just a traveling merchant from the Central Plains. Traveling merchants value their lives. I will not come here to do business that loses money, right?"

"Just like when people buy things, would they spend a hundred taels of gold to buy a bowl of noodles? No way, right? Merchants will not give you a sword that can cut iron like mud for just a large sum of money."

"It will be a loss."

"I came here today to win a great victory. Everyone, just wait and see—"

Li Guanyi raised the spear in his hand and pointed it forward: "Each tribe is different. Although there are 100,000 troops, they come from seven different tribes. There are gaps between the tribes. They don't have a general with 100,000 troops."

"It's just seven armies of varying sizes coming together."

"They can't fully cooperate with each other, and they will become obstacles to each other."

"What we have to do is not to defeat an army of 100,000."

"Instead, we should make them our own soldiers and let them cause chaos. If an army of 100,000 is led by a peerless general who can enforce discipline, it will be an unmatched force, enough to be one of the top ten generals in the world."

"But on the other hand, if these 100,000 people were to restrain each other, they would just be a pile of mud!"

"Our goal is to blow up the enemy camp!"

"It's totally chaotic!"

There was a man named Yuchi Xiong who sneered:

"You say it sounds good, but you still want us to risk our lives!"

Li Guanyi smiled and said, "Oh? You all think so, then, since I proposed this, I should demonstrate it myself, so that it would be a good deal, right..."

The eight hundred black armored soldiers were slightly startled. Li Zhaowen was puzzled, but he saw Li Guanyi driving his warhorse forward. Walking past Li Zhaowen, Li Guanyi was wearing a black mountain-patterned armor and a brocade battle robe with both sleeves. He held the reins with his left hand and held the war spear with his right hand. He looked straight ahead and said,
"Erlang, get ready to lead the troops. After I charge forward, you will follow immediately."

"We only have one chance."

"Once the enemy reacts, the strategy will be too late."

Li Zhaowen said: "Brother Li, you don't have to do this for me."

"If we go back now, there is still a chance of turning back."

"This charge will definitely be dangerous."

She looked at the 100,000 joint venture and actually felt quite a bit of pressure.

Li Guanyi said, "Now that things have come to this, what else can Erlang say? However, I do have an idea." He thought about it, and in order to ease Li Zhaowen's tension, he took the initiative to say, "If it succeeds, when we return to the city, Erlang, you can tell the beauty to play the piano."

Li Zhaowen said: "Yes."

"I wonder what kind of beautiful woman you like?"

Li Guanyi smiled carefreely and said, "Beauty is very boring, and I am not interested either."

Li Zhaowen raised his eyebrows.

Li Guanyi teased, "I heard that the second son of the Duke's Mansion is a man of both civil and military talents. His weapons, literary talent, and music composition are all top-notch in the world."

"If Jiro himself composed the music for me."

"I can get drunk now."

Li Zhaowen smiled and paused.

The phoenix eyes looked at the general in front of him, looking him up and down, with a smile on his face, and said:
"Oh? Then we'll have to see what you can do, Brother Li."

The two men drove their dragon horses past each other. Li Guanyi wore a Chuanshan armor while Li Zhaowen wore a Mingguang armor. Their brows were sharp and calm, and they both had an indescribable aggression and courage. Li Guanyi smiled and replied, "Okay."

He looked down, at the situation in the Western Region and the turbulent trend in the world.

He is not a rookie.

Although I am young, I have experienced too many battlefields.

Li Guan held the spear in one hand and swept it suddenly, and the blue phoenix bird image soared into the sky. There was a fierce and heroic spirit in the eyes of the young prince. He pulled the reins with one hand and the warhorse suddenly leaped up, all under the incredulous gaze of the eight hundred black armors.

Charge into the battle alone!

Li Guanyi said loudly: "Everyone, please watch!"

"Today I will take down that general for you all!"

"To prove that we will win!"

The fierce force suddenly exploded!

The spirit of bravery, determination, domineering and calmness.

Li Zhaowen's eyes widened, and for the first time he felt a slight ripple in his mood.

Li Guanyi, charge!
The Eight Hundred Black Armored Ones witnessed with their own eyes that the soldiers in front of Li Guanyi were unable to react, and he rushed into the location of a general alone. All the soldiers in his personal armor fell down, and Li Guanyi killed a general with just three strikes of the spear in his hand.

He moved back and forth as if there was no one around, and killed several generals.

The morale of the Xuanjia soldiers was greatly boosted.

He was sincerely convinced and regarded him as a god!

Li Zhaowen's eyes lit up, and he led his troops.

Eight hundred mysterious armors, at an incredible time, at this critical moment in the world——

Enter the battlefield!
