Five days later, another major battle broke out during this period.
However, this battle was not as fierce as the last one, and the Wenxiang Sect seemed to have other means, although they also attacked at night.
However, the mist of the Mysterious Formation became even thicker, and even the Great Light Spell of the White Horse Temple could not illuminate the entire battlefield.
The combat power at the bottom was constantly eroded by the followers of the Wenxiang Sect, and most of them were killed or injured.
Therefore, Ye Xunlong continued to retreat and defended the city.
In the end, relying on the strong city wall and the advantages of the defenders, they persisted until dawn.
Under the sunlight, the visibility in the Mysterious Formation was greatly improved. The Wenxiang Sect seemed to know that their advantages had been greatly reduced, and they retreated without seeking quick success.
However, Li Guan felt that the Wenxiang Sect had made rapid progress, and the explosives used in the 'Gunpowder Array' had become more powerful.
It seems that there are still capable people in Wenxiang Sect.
Li Guan, wearing armor, looked at the corpses all over the city wall and remained silent for a while.
He knew that war was cruel, but he didn't expect that the degree of cruelty was beyond his imagination.
Of course he is not being hypocritical, countless people have died at his hands.
But he was wondering. He had been here for five days and found that there were no reinforcements in Leping City. Changsheng Road and White Horse Temple seemed to be the last batch of reinforcements.
Could it be that the imperial court gave up on Leping City?
If we continue to be attacked by the Wenxiang Sect like this, if there are no reinforcements in Leping City, there is a high possibility that it will fall.
I don’t know what Ye Xunlong can do to solve it.
Li Guan stood blankly on the city wall, thinking a lot.
However, the continuation of this battlefield will be of great benefit to him, and I will not mention military achievements.
Whenever he found an opportunity, he would swallow the souls of the warriors he had killed.
Although after taking over the spirit, the true meaning of swallowing is incomplete.
But that was also the true meaning, and Li Guan had no way of calculating how much true meaning he had swallowed.
It’s just that most of the true meanings are repetitive, which does not bring much benefit to the original true meaning.
But after accepting the spirit, the pervasive spirituality was continuously absorbed by his internal organs. He didn't even know what changes had happened to his internal organs.
You will know that there is an additional entry in the entry for [Internal Organs] [Spiritual Self-Generation (White): With your own spirituality, you will pursue freedom.]
The entire internal organs have changed, and they will pursue evolution independently, and even fine-tune themselves to achieve the optimal solution for various states.
The benefits to him can only be studied later.
"Jianjun, General Ye calls you to go to the county government office."
A soldier interrupted Li Guan's contemplation, with a look of respect on his face.
Now Li Guanjun's reputation in their army is not inferior to that of General Ye, because Li Guan is in charge of military law, and military law is ruthless. Any soldier who dares to do evil will be punished by him with military law.
There was even a camp roar, but Li Guan suppressed it with his own strength.
Let the entire military camp obey military law obediently.
This is naturally very unpleasant for those policemen, but for some people who want to strive for military glory and get along well in the army, Li Guan's extremely tough methods.
Now the army is completely led by military merit, and the phenomenon of pretending to take the lead and taking advantage of others has disappeared.
"good!"
Li Guan nodded. In the past five days, Li Guan had not had any contact with Ye Xunlong.
But every time Li Guan asked someone to submit the punishment list, Ye Xunlong didn't say anything. Instead, he would comment on it, but...
But after one or two times, Li Guan also knew Ye Xunlong's purpose. Didn't he just want to cleanse the general's poison with his hands?
It didn't matter, but Li Guan asked Zuo Yin to bring Yang Xiu and asked him to help punish the military law.
Some of the sergeants who were punished were Yang Xiu's colleagues and subordinates.
Yang Xiu even personally executed several people he knew well, so Yang Xiu naturally knew Li Guan's intentions.
But he also enjoys it. The ruthlessness of military law is no joke to him.
In this regard, Li Guan could only say that you are awesome, this Yang Xiu can really do this, and even enjoys it.
As Li Guan walked, he thought about what Ye Xunlong had called him to do.
After arriving at the county government office, Li Guan discovered that he was not the only one, but his four senior brothers and sisters were all here.
Behind him stood some other Taoist disciples.
There were even monks wearing cassocks. Needless to say, the leader was from Baima Temple. Li Guan took a look.
I found that the leading monk had quite a few entries, but Li Guan was more interested in the [Great Light Curse].
However, because of these two battles, each of the six parts of his body has accumulated twice.
There are now 743 qi and blood accumulation points left to use. These two battles have saved him a lot of qi and blood accumulation, without saying anything.
Li Guan copied the [Great Light Mantra (White): From now on I can see the light] to his [lower limbs]. With this, it is more convenient for him to go out.
As for why it is placed in [Lower Limbs], after all, the entry for [Tathagata Divine Palm] is there.
The first two palms of [Tathagata Divine Palm] are also Buddha light formations, which just match the [Great Light Mantra].
It’s also a good idea to put a flashlight under your feet.
Unexpectedly, there was such a large gathering of people. This was the first time that Ye Xunlong summoned such a complete group of people.
Is there something important to discuss?
After Li Guan walked in, Ye Xunlong motioned for Li Guan to sit beside him. Li Guan raised his eyebrows. What was Ye Xunlong going to do? Did he regard him as a member of the military?
However, Li Guan was too lazy to pay attention to him, and went directly to the chair next to Wang Mian and sat down.
As a human being, the most important thing is to avoid swinging from side to side. The big tree of the Tao of Immortality is much better than Daqi.
Ye Xunlong didn't care. After Li Guan sat down, he said, "I'm calling everyone here to discuss something."
Li Guan frowned. He felt that it might be related to the fact that except for their reinforcements, there were no reinforcements during this period.
But if Ye Xunlong said it like this, wouldn't he be afraid that all the disciples of the sect would evacuate?
After all, whether Leping City was lost or not has nothing to do with the disciples of the sect.
Their base camp is in Jinling Mansion, and the closest distance between Leping City and Jinling Mansion is also separated by a city.
"The purpose of inviting you here is to discuss whether to abandon Leping City, retreat to Lanjiang City, and re-defend the city."
Ye Xunlong's words were like a bomb thrown into the lake, causing endless ripples. People in Changsheng Road and White Horse Temple frowned, and Wang Mian asked: "Why?"
Because Lanjiang City is relatively close to Jinling Mansion, both Changshengdao and Baima Temple have industries there.
If they really retreat to Lanjiang City by then, their property will definitely be damaged. Moreover, if they retreat to Lanjiang City, the soldiers of the Wenxiang Sect and the Demon Sect will be directed at Jinling Mansion.
"Because we have no reinforcements."
Ye Xunlong also revealed relatively secret information without any hesitation.
If the people from the Wenxiang Sect and the Demon Sect really come to Lanjiang City, the people from the Changsheng Dao and the White Horse Temple will definitely continue to send people as reinforcements, and even many aristocratic families in the Jinling Mansion will send troops.
"Where are the reinforcements from Qingyang Mansion?"
Ye Xunlong said before that reinforcements from Qingyang Mansion would arrive soon, but now he tells them that there are no reinforcements?
The monk Huineng headed by Baima Temple asked, if the Wenxiang Sect and the Demon Sect were really attacked in Lanjiang City, then Baima Temple would not be able to fish.
The Wenxiang Sect and the Demon Sect are both providing support, so why haven’t reinforcements from other provinces arrived?
"Having been held back, the Sanyang Sect suddenly attacked Yunlai City near Qingyang Mansion, and also the Xieji Sect of the Demon Sect."
Ye Xunlong waved his hand, and someone behind him handed a military report to Li Guan.
Starting from Li Guan, they were circulated one by one. Li Guan glanced at them and handed them to Wang Mian.
It said that Yunlai City in Qingyang Prefecture was attacked by the Sanyang Sect. The reinforcements were stopped midway and went directly to support Yunlai City.
This military report has a military seal, and it cannot be forged by Ye Xunlong himself.
"If the reinforcements from Qingyang Prefecture are held back, won't the other prefectures be able to pull out reinforcements?"
Wang Mian also read the intelligence. The reinforcements from Qingyang Prefecture were held back. What about the reinforcements from other prefectures?
It’s unlikely that other prefectures will be held back as well.
Everyone looked at Ye Xunlong, waiting for his answer.
Now the Sanyang Sect, the Wenxiang Sect and the Demon Sect have cooperated, and the reinforcements from Leping City have been intercepted.
Ye Xunlong's expression became a little ugly, and he said: "I went to defend Prince Ning's Mansion. As for why, I can't say more.
Only Puyang Prefecture can send a group of soldiers to support them, and they are on the way now.
So we have to make a decision as soon as possible."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Although Ye Xunlong couldn't say clearly, it was obvious that he was going to King Qin.
King Qin often only had one situation, and that was that rebels gathered to attack the core area of King Ning's fiefdom.
Taizhou is the fiefdom of King Ning, and all cities and prefectures are obliged to defend the king's territory.
If the king's order comes down, the city must give priority to defending the king's land.
Li Guan and Wang Mian looked at each other, wondering why Taizhou had become like this in such a short period of time.
Even the kingdom is about to be attacked by the rebels.
It was obvious that Ye Xunlong was not constrained by the idea that no one was in the city and the city would be destroyed if the people died. If the battle was really unfavorable, he would directly strategically retreat to the next place.
It's just that he is doing this to really tie the Tao of Immortality and the White Horse Temple to the chariot.
Regardless of whether there is a tacit understanding between the Wenxiang Sect and the White Horse Temple, it is impossible for the White Horse Temple to watch the Wenxiang Sect directly attack Lanjiang City, and then directly target Jinling Mansion.
"Our Immortality Taoist Association sent a message back to the sect, and there will be support within two days!"
Wang Mian frowned and said, Wenxiang Sect and Demon Sect must be intercepted in Leping City, otherwise they may threaten the sect's various industries.
Huineng also nodded and said: "We will also send a message back to the temple."
When the others saw the two eldest brothers speaking, they also expressed that someone would come to support them.
This Ye Xunlong is an obvious conspiracy, but they can't avoid it.
Otherwise, the losses caused would be much greater than the support from the disciples.
The dilemma was real, but the conspiracy was also real. Li Guan did not expect Ye Xunlong to react so quickly. It seemed that not long after the military report came, Ye Xunlong directly tied Changsheng Dao and Baima Temple to the chariot.
